Chapter 519 Dao Ye is not a generous person
Woohoo~
The night breeze blows.
It was very quiet under the observatory. Hundreds of people gathered around the open space without any noise. Everyone's eyes were focused on Huang Longzi.
Some are looking forward to it, some are skeptical, and some are watching from the sidelines.
"Old Zhu is so lucky."
In the crowd, Wan Quan heard a cold snort coming from beside him. He glanced over and saw an old man with silver hair. He pushed aside a group of royal family members and walked to the front of the crowd.
All those who could watch here were nobles of great fortune, but seeing that the old man was so arrogant, no one dared to say a word, even Wan Quan avoided him without leaving a trace.
This old man, whose name is Pang Liexue, is of royal blood. In terms of seniority, he is the uncle of the current emperor and one of the several Tiangang-level masters of the royal family.
"I have complaints in my heart."
Wan Quan looked at the prince Pang Chuan beside him and understood.
For the imperial court, preparing for a small sacrifice was a hassle-free process; the real trouble was selecting the people.
After the news that entering the Bafang Temple could prolong one's life spread, some people were skeptical while others believed it, especially those extremely old masters who did not care about the possible dangers they might encounter.
Pang Liexue is one of them.
"Why is uncle here too?"
Seeing Pang Liexue, Emperor Qian frowned inwardly, but could only greet him with a smile.
"His Majesty!"
Pang Liexue bowed and said nothing, just looked coldly at the armored man under the altar.
This man's name is Zhu Shengzhi, and he is one of the four commanders of Dayun's Imperial Guards. He entered the Tiangang many years ago, and practiced the god-level horizontal training 'Invincible True Gang' and the Four Vajra Methods of Worshiping Blood, Flesh, Tendons and Bones. He was carefully selected by Emperor Qian.
Although he knew that he was dissatisfied, Emperor Qian did not say anything and just watched quietly.
"It's time to start."
A moment later, Huang Longzi on the altar turned his umbrella slightly and nodded to Emperor Qian. The latter took a quick glance and saw that the onlookers had retreated hundreds of feet away.
"Commander Zhu, get ready."
Huang Longzi turned around.
"Ah."
Zhu Shengzhi bowed to Emperor Qian:
"Your Majesty, I am leaving now."
"Safe travels."
Emperor Qian nodded and said: "When you return victorious, I will hold a banquet for you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Shengzhi stood up and swallowed a dark red pill. Then the ink-black armor on his body squirmed like a living thing, covering him. In addition to the inner armor and half armor, he also put on god-level armor.
At the same time, he lowered his waist and sat on his hips, releasing his powerful inner energy, like an ancient bronze bell covering it.
"...Commander Zhu, please be careful."
Huang Longzi's eyes twitched, and then he collected his thoughts.
He walked forward, chanting the divine text of origin in the air. After a while, he snapped his fingers and the ten incense cauldrons under the altar exploded.
hum~
Ten thick incense sticks shot up into the sky, and gathered on the altar as if summoned, and changed shapes with Huang Longzi's movements.
Finally, under the gaze of everyone, it soared into the sky.
when!
The Great Sun Golden Scale Bell vibrated violently, and the substantial bell waves spread out layer by layer, merging with the incense in mid-air.
hum~
The incense and the bell waves collide and intertwine, and the light and shadows change unsteadily. Faintly, one can see the ancient temple floating in the sea of ink.
"The Poison Dragon Academy is worthy of its name as a holy place. This ceremony is truly extraordinary..."
Wan Zhuliu stood with his hands behind his back, ignoring the voice in his heart, and just stared intently.
"Eight-way Temple!"
Low roars were heard from the crowd of onlookers.
Wan Quan glanced over and saw a group of dying old men. At this moment, they were looking up at the sky with excited expressions, and they couldn't wait to rush forward.
"Hold your breath and concentrate!"
At this time, Huang Longzi let out a loud shout, holding a giant umbrella and rising into the air. As he turned, the mist formed by the sound of the bell and the incense flowed down like a waterfall.
Envelop Zhu Shengzhi, who was like facing a great enemy!
The next moment, under everyone's gaze, Zhu Shengzhi moved without wind, soared into the air like a fallen leaf, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Open the Sun Mirror!"
Emperor Qian spoke in a deep voice.
Wang Jin, who was serving on the side, took a step forward. Rays of golden light shot out from his sleeves and transformed into four shining bronze mirrors that met in the air.
With a humming sound, the four bronze mirrors merged into one and reflected various lights and shadows amid the smoke of incense.
In the dark world, Zhu Shengzhi took a step forward. The clouds formed by the incense and the bell waves moved in front of him at a very fast speed, guiding him in the direction.
……
……
Woohoo~
In the Bafang Temple, the moon is high in the sky and the stars are shining.
At the ninth level of the mountain path, Li Yuanxu practiced standing meditation to resist the huge pressure that came from everywhere. His movements were slow, but the trembling of his muscles and bones was extremely violent.
With his current physical condition, he could hardly close the pores all over his body, and sweat was steaming around him like mist.
"From level one to level nine, the pressure is piled up layer by layer, but there is no qualitative change. For me, it is an excellent place for body training!"
Li Yuan closed his eyes and slowly practiced the standing meditation.
His Qi and blood were flowing in his body extremely violently, and it became even more violent when it was transmitted to his tendons, bones and internal organs. His white jade-like skeleton was making a crackling sound when rubbing against it.
"Control the Thunder Beast Spirit Pill."
As soon as Li Yuan had the thought, it was as if a wolf howled in his heart. In a trance, he saw the young mastiff standing on the giant peak of the mountain, howling loudly and drawing in the starlight to strengthen its body.
"Star Mastiff!" Li Yuan's movements remained unchanged, and he continued to push the dragon and tiger pole slowly.
He could feel that the Dragon-Tiger Pill in his body had completely cracked, and the remaining medicinal power was spreading and penetrating into his limbs and bones.
The changes in Star Mastiff's body were still very drastic, but after the blood transfusion, his physique was much stronger than before, and he was able to endure even such drastic changes in his body.
"A blacksmith must have strong body. Without the Thousand Forms Body, it would be difficult to contain the Star Mastiff Body. But now, it is barely possible."
Li Yuan could hear the vibration and friction of his internal organs, tendons and bones, but he seemed unaware of it. He practiced the standing meditation again and again, enduring the pain of the changes in his body.
This process is much faster than before.
Under the pressure of the Eight Directions Temple's Qi, Li Yuan could even clearly feel his body changing at an extremely fast speed.
One shape, ten shapes...
By the time the remaining medicinal power was completely consumed, the number of their numbers had increased by nearly two hundred.
He is only a little bit away from another transformation of his talent.
"Roar!"
When Li Yuan slowly stopped, a wolf howl came from his body. The little female dragon on his waist was shocked by the intensity of his muscles and bones trembling.
Hearing the wolf howl, he fell to the ground in shock:
"You, you, what kind of blood and physique are you stealing again?!"
"..."
Li Yuan glanced at her. Ever since she realized that she also had some characteristics of a mirage dragon, the little female dragon suspected that he had some means of stealing his blood and physique.
Ignoring her, Li Yuan let out a long sigh, loosened his tightly locked pores, and the thick smell of sweat rolled out and was blown away by the night wind.
"Comfortable!"
Standing on the steps, Li Yuan relaxed his muscles and bones. He could already withstand the pressure of the energy below the tenth level of the mountain path, and he could use it to strengthen his body.
The only bad thing is that the pills are consumed too quickly.
"Will the pressure increase dramatically after level 10?"
Li Yuan looked up and saw a stone tablet standing on the tenth step, only a few feet away from him, but he could not see the words on it.
"Try tomorrow."
Li Yuan walked down the stairs slowly. The fatigue caused by the changes in his muscles and bones could not be offset by medicine, and he needed time to relax.
Similarly, the mental fatigue from comprehending the 'Eight Direction Diagram' can only be relieved through sleep or visualization.
"After the Niwan Palace is opened, it should be able to hold out longer, right? How can this picture be considered as a comprehension?"
Pinching his slightly swollen brows, Li Yuan sat cross-legged, visualizing the diagram of the Black Whale that Splits the Sea to relieve his mental fatigue, while also pondering the diagram of the Eight Directions.
The higher he climbed the mountain, the clearer the picture became, but after several attempts, he didn't understand anything.
"call!"
"Suck!"
With a long breath, the little female dragon slid down from Li Yuan's waist like a little snake. She refused to give up and climbed carefully to the first step.
What made her sad was that she still didn't notice anything unusual.
"I entered a mountain of treasures, but came out empty-handed. I, I..."
Just thinking about it, the little female dragon felt so annoyed that she wanted to bang her head against the wall. She hated the bastard who turned her into a long whip.
"I am the descendant of the Mirage Dragon King!"
She twisted her body to and fro in frustration, but she couldn't even scream.
Suddenly, she heard a trembling sound and turned back abruptly to stand in front of Li Yuan, but she soon realized something was wrong. The strange sound did not come from the distant mountains, but from behind her.
"This is?"
When the little female dragon turned around, Li Yuan also opened his eyes. He turned his wrist and took out the token. After just one glance, his face changed.
The token vibrated, and the vibration it transmitted had only one meaning.
That is, someone wanted to follow him in with a sacrifice of Yuanhuo, and the Bafang Temple did not refuse...
"The court acted so quickly? They wanted to lend me a place in the temple... Bafang Temple didn't refuse. It seems that this incense is really a good thing. Even Bafang Temple can't refuse it. However..."
Li Yuan gritted his teeth, but he had already anticipated it through listening to Yin, so he was not too panicked, but concentrated on sensing the token.
hum~
As soon as his mind turned, Li Yuan felt his sight suddenly rise. In a daze, he saw the armored man running towards the Bafang Temple in the dark realm.
The armored sturdy man was surrounded by incense and ran madly towards the Bafang Temple.
"This is a master. Even if he is not as good as Master Nie back then, he is probably about the same, right?"
Li Yuan stood up with a swish, wrapped the Mirage Dragon Belt around his waist, and quickly returned to the passage he came from.
"The imperial court is likely to follow up with the test using secret methods..."
In the dark passage, Li Yuan carefully avoided Dong Ershisan, changed his clothes, put on a mask, and took out a Black Whale Hammer.
"I want to borrow Daoye to come in..."
In front of the invisible portal, Li Yuan slowly clenched the heavy hammer in his hand, and exerted all kinds of control on his body one by one.
Gather your strength and wait.
……
"Eight-way Temple!"
In the gloomy world, Zhu Shengzhi strode forward, and almost at the same time he arrived in front of the temple, the temple door slowly opened a little!
"It's done!"
All the ministers of Dayun under the observatory stood up.
"it is good!"
Seeing Zhu Shengzhi step into the door, Emperor Qian couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh, but the next moment, a muffled sound coming from the bronze mirror made his face freeze.
Zhu Shengzhi had just stepped into the temple when his armor shattered, his chest collapsed, and he coughed up blood and flew out of the temple gate. Then, he was grabbed on the forehead by a hand that stretched out from the temple gate!
"Crack!"
