Chapter 176: Innate man, catching a turtle in an urn
The sky in Wutong Cave is densely covered with real fire.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the real fire came back and a Taoist priest in white appeared.
The Taoist's eyes were a noble purple, and then slowly turned into gold.
The phoenix true fire around him sometimes transformed into various magical weapons.
For example, it condenses into a scarlet giant sword.
Xu Xuan changed to the outside of Wutong Cave.
Wow!
The giant sword pierced the ground, and the flames penetrated hundreds of feet underground.
The second layer of double pupils - real cremator.
This change is not only a change in appearance, but also a change in nature.
The nature of fire is to spread and burn. If it transforms into a sword, it can have the sharp nature of a sword.
Xu Xuan stepped forward and picked up the giant sword. The fiery red giant sword looked like a gem.
Approach a tree gently.
Bang bang...
The blazing flames no longer burned and spread slowly, but penetrated into the trees like sword energy. Almost at the same time, the trees collapsed and were quickly burned to ashes by the flames.
If the real fire transforms into a shield, it will have the defensive properties of a shield.
Transformed into a gun, it has the penetrating power of a gun.
Reaching this level is equivalent to having many powerful magic weapons. This is the real cremator, also known as the real fire weapon.
It's not that the Phoenix True Fire can't help the Bronze Temple, but it's mainly restricted by the nature of the flame. The Bronze Temple has strong defense, or the "melting point" is too high. It needs to be more advanced and start with the intensity of the flame; or it can change the nature of the flame, which is quite Yu not only melted, but also chopped with swords and axes.
If the formation were replaced by the one used by the Mirror Realm when they first attacked Xuanjing Mountain, they would probably be able to break the formation in one fell swoop.
"I will definitely get the Feathered Man's Heavenly Palace." His eyes slowly narrowed, Xu Xuan was filled with ambition.
Not only does he want Yunding Tiangong, Xu Xuan also wants Yuren’s bloodline!
Bloodline is not necessarily your own. Ordinary bodies are mortal, and the impurity genes of mortals are passed down from generation to generation. It would be good if there is no genetic defect, or missing arms or legs, or extra finger tumors.
The initial state of all cultivation of immortality is to first improve one's own shortcomings.
Yumen, an innate humanoid alien species, are actually mythical celestial beings. Their wings and feathers are just external manifestations of supernatural powers, not monsters in legends.
The legends of ancient kings often have strange appearances such as dragon heads, double pupils, snake tails, transparent bellies, etc. They are not monsters, but also gods and humans with innate supernatural powers.
It's not that this kind of thing can't be eliminated. It's very simple to turn into a normal mortal, just a thought, so the descendants of these immortals are basically in normal human form.
The reason why it has been preserved for a long time is probably because of the custom of ancient ancestors worshiping immortals and gods.
Yuren are frequent visitors in the legends of the heavens and the worlds. The early immortals even looked like Yuren, so their bloodline was undoubtedly powerful, so it would be good to absorb their bloodline.
This type of feathered people also has another characteristic - longevity.
Longevity is the key to becoming a master. Even a weak person can almost become a master if he can live for five hundred years.
"You can "fish" again. I wonder if Yu Ren is aware of this."
Yuan Tiangang is not far from the Celestial Elephant Warrior and can break through to this level at any time. Over the years, he has been inputting excess internal energy into Heshi Bi in order to prevent the Bronze Palace from taking advantage of the opportunity.
Now it's time for him to untie his restraints.
Xu Xuan appeared outside Wutong Cave in a flash.
Kou Xun and Li Chunfeng are also in their sixties. Of course, at this age they are still in their prime for warriors.
Warriors have strong bodies, but their body functions will decline rapidly only in the last five to eight years of their lives.
The spring breeze is blowing, and the trees are green.
The bluestone road winds through the sea of flowers and green space, and the fragrance of flowers wafts in. Li Chunfeng and Kou Xun are playing Go.
"Congratulations to the True Monarch for your great achievement!" Seeing Xu Xuan coming out of the mountain, the two congratulated him.
Li Chunfeng's temples were gray, and Kou Xun had wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
When Xu Xuan saw it, he also lamented that time passed too fast.
He is like a person who is constantly being chased by time, constantly chasing the highest, constantly escaping from time, and the people around him are left far behind, and they grow old without knowing it.
"Well, Dacheng, where is Gu Qing?" Xu Xuan asked.
"It went down eight years ago."
"Okay, I'll go down the mountain for a walk too."
Before the two of them could answer, Xu Xuan disappeared.
Li Chunfeng and Kou Xun looked at each other with regret. Only at their own age did they understand the horror of time.
But with a beautiful woman by your side, what's the harm in dying?
The two held each other's hands tightly.
"How about we also go down the mountain and travel around?" Li Chunfeng asked.
"Okay, I want to go to the East China Sea to see the sunrise, to the South China Sea Islands to see the corals, and to go horseback riding in the northern desert."
"Haha, let's leave tomorrow!"
Xu Xuan passed by Gu Hanwei's grave. Unexpectedly, the banyan tree planted by Gu Qing had now grown vigorously.
Chang'an City.
This place is called the City of Ten Thousand Cities, and it is the most prosperous place in the world.
In recent years, with the innovation of sailing technology, it has gradually established connections with places such as the Far West, Rakshasa, and Southeast Asian countries. People from these small places all marvel at the greatness of this majestic city when they come here.
It was the annual imperial examination and the flow of people was at its peak.
Xu Xuan transformed into a scholar and walked on the streets, followed by an old man with white eyebrows, feeling the prosperity of the world that he had not experienced for a long time.
It is really endless as far as the eye can see, a prosperous scene that has never appeared in the past dynasties.
The low earth buildings before have been transformed into buildings made of cement. Most of the buildings on both sides of the street are five to nine-story buildings. Some restaurants have opened to the upper floors, with long canvases hanging down.
There were noisy shouts from both sides.
"The latest Tiangongyuan's Gewu newspapers and periodicals! One for every ten articles, one for every ten articles!"
"Zhuangyuan Restaurant! 30% off for all those taking exams today!"
Merchants restocked goods overnight, and the guys didn't have time off.
There are stalls on both sides of the street. Some are scholars dressed as scholars. They sell the notebooks of top students. Some scholars from poor families also sell specialties from their hometown to subsidize the travel expenses back home.
This trend started a few years ago.
A few years ago, there was a scholar from the seaside who randomly picked up some shells and conches from his hometown. Unexpectedly, they were extremely popular in Chang'an, and even sold for several hundred yuan each. Although he did not win the lottery, he still cooperated with local merchants in Chang'an and made a profit. There is a lot of money, and the myth of wealth happens every moment.
Later, this trend of bringing hometown specialties to rush for exams emerged.
Xu Xuan did not look for his descendants, but met Yuan Tiangang who was practicing meditation behind closed doors. He came to a teahouse and ordered a pot of tea and two plates of snacks.
Advertisements for various martial arts schools are also placed around the teahouse.
"Fang Xiandao secretly teaches the Diao Yin Kung Fu to help you regain your glory!"
"Tired and sleepy? Just drink Shushan Bamboo Leaf Green!"
It doesn't have an old-fashioned market atmosphere.
This is the country he created with his own hands, and it is no longer the lifeless Qin Zheng. Xu Xuan is quite satisfied with this.
In addition to ordinary people, there are also energetic warriors around.
"You did a good job." Xu Xuan said to Yuan Tiangang.
"Thanks to Mr. Zhen, I just did some ordinary work." Yuan Tiangang said modestly.
This is indeed the case.
The thousands of kilograms of rice brought by Zhenjun, as well as the fertile land and the secret recipe for land reclamation, are the key to the prosperity of this world.
"By the way, Li Zhen has captured Japan, has the ability to open up new territories, has reached the peak of prestige, and is proclaimed emperor..."
"Let him be called the emperor, but the emperor and the great master cannot serve at the same time. The great master is the pope and the emperor is the human emperor. The two restrain each other and cannot be combined into one."
Xu Xuan's time in this world is uncertain, but sometimes when he retreats, decades or hundreds of years will pass, and he won't even have a home when he wakes up.
Da Zhenren's power is still too great. He is both the leader of the martial arts alliance and the emperor. It will be bad if he encounters any crazy behavior that affects his ability to collect internal power.
A Celestial Elephant warrior can damage the foundation. If he is in seclusion for a long time and cannot wake up, and some great master goes crazy and mobilizes the power of the whole country to find him and break the formation at all costs, wouldn't it be a big bad luck?
Although this probability is very low, Xu Xuan has a cautious character. Whether it is one in 10,000 or one in 100,000, he still has to be on guard.
Separate the power of the two, and the power of each is weakened. The great master only has influence in the martial arts world, and the emperor is only a secular manager.
As for after this system is established, even if the rituals and music collapse hundreds of years later, whether the real person kills the emperor or the emperor kills the real person is a matter for the upper level and will not affect the lower level.
In the past few decades, martial arts matters have become a matter within the circle. The existence of the list has made it easier for the martial arts to prosper. The martial arts sects no longer think about training and accumulating strength all day long, and support the new heroic master.
The complex martial arts disputes also made warriors pursue stronger power, and people's internal strength levels increased accordingly, which was beneficial to Xu Xuan.
"Dear readers and heroes, the latest list of Baixiao Pavilion is out!"
At this time, the stage in the center of the hall was stunned, and the storyteller's voice was loud.
For a moment, everyone's attention was attracted.
"For those of you who don't know yet, Baixiaotang is an organization led by Daomen and combined with inns, intelligence agencies, and restaurant outposts in various places. It does not participate in disputes between rivers and lakes, and only records anecdotes from rivers and lakes."
"The first place in the world's most influential list is still the former Great Master Yuan Tiangang, the second place is Great Master Li Zhen... but the tenth place has become the Grand Master of the Song family of Tiandao."
"Li He ranked first on the Hidden Dragon List, and Fairy Wu Mingkong ranked second... A few days ago, the thirty-fifth senior brother of Laojun Temple challenged Song Wen, a disciple of the Song family who ranked ninth, successfully, and the ninth became Laojun. Junmiao Lu Jing..."
"The first place on the list of sects is Taoism, the second place is Fangxian Taoism, and the third place is Heavenly Medicine Taoism..."
Taoism is a general term. All Jianghu sects claim to be the successors of Taoism. Even Buddhism transforms Buddha into Tao and admits that Laozi enlightened Buddha, so there is no such sect as Taoism.
"Reward list, number one evil scholar, killed 165 people, robbed the government treasury, rewarded 170,000 taels, 300 taels for clues..."
All lists can be ranked up to one hundred.
As long as you are in the top 100, you will be famous all over the world, and usually the bottom ten change very frequently.
The knights and knights in the arena were talking a lot, gossiping, and some were full of ambitions, wanting to challenge someone who was behind, and maybe have a chance to make a name for themselves.
Once you are on the list, even if it is only one hundred, not to mention other income, just opening a martial arts gym and giving some tips on how to exercise can make you have enough food and clothing.
"Li He is Li Zhen's son? Wu Mingkong is Samurai Shin's daughter?"
"Exactly!"
The two of them listened quietly, and Xu Xuan said: "Start breaking the void and prepare to catch the turtle in the urn."
