Chapter 491 Son of Destiny (Part 1)
Tianwu District, Zhuanwu Pavilion.
Yang Zhiyuan only felt that his experience in the past six years was just like a dream, going from hell to heaven in one go.
His birth background is quite special, coming from the royal family of the Tianyuan Dynasty.
Although his father, "Eternal King" Yang Jixin, failed in the battle for heir apparent,
However, because of his strong strength, he still held important positions in the imperial army and held real power.
However, his status in the family is not noble, he is just an ordinary concubine.
His mother's status was even more humble. She seemed to be just a brothel actress in the capital.
Such an origin makes his position in the family very delicate and embarrassing.
Because his mother passed away early, he lacked the care and protection of his relatives since he was a child.
At first, King Yong treated him quite well, perhaps out of guilt, and even often took him with him to play with him in the palace.
This has resulted in Yang Zhiyuan always showing great respect and gratitude to his father.
However, as time goes by,
King Yong's attitude towards him began to change, and he also began to gradually alienate him.
Jerry Yang still remembers that the last time he saw his father was when he was five years old.
That day, his father only glanced at him from afar, then turned his head indifferently.
And his mother's humble status made everyone in the palace look down upon him.
Even though he had the title of "Young Master", he still suffered all kinds of bullying and cold treatment in front of the palace's servants.
This experience undoubtedly made him understand the harshness of the world since he was a child, and also made him understand the value of power and the indifference of his family.
The deduction of monthly salary and food is just a minor expense.
Even the housekeeper in the palace was secretly ordered by the princess to cut off Yang Zhiyuan's cultivation path.
He has no access to any Taoism at all, and there is no chance for him to even test his bones.
Although he lost his mother when he was young and his father was indifferent, he had to endure the contempt of everyone in the house.
But Yang Zhiyuan did not sink, but his character became more resolute and strong as a result.
He was raised by an old man who cut wood in the mansion.
This old man chopping firewood has an extraordinary past. He was once an important minister in an enemy country of the Tianyuan Dynasty, but that small country has been destroyed by the Tianyuan Dynasty.
The old man's cultivation was stripped away by King Yong, and he was left in the mansion to become a lowly servant, allowing others to insult him.
In such an environment, the old man who cut firewood felt that he had some sympathy with Yang Zhiyuan, so he took the initiative to take on the task of taking care of him.
Since the old man who chopped firewood was clearly aware of the surveillance and restrictions on them in the mansion, he did not teach Yang Zhiyuan the method of cultivation.
Instead, he simply taught Yang Zhiyuan how to read and read numerous Taoist and Tibetan classics.
Although these Taoist classics have been circulated for countless years, and although they do not contain direct methods of practice, no one in the mansion pays much attention to these classics.
Yang Zhiyuan's goal gradually changed to a determination to gain fame through studying and taking imperial examinations.
He came to fight for his deceased mother's name and incorporated it into the Yang family's ancestral tomb.
Xie Que didn't know much about the Tianyuan Dynasty.
I only know that it is a force with three venerables, attached to the Tao of Reincarnation.
Although it is not considered to be the top, it is still one of the first-class forces on the entire continent.
Yang Zhiyuan's father, Yong Wang Yang Jixin, was an overlord-level venerable person who understood the subtleties of things.
When he was in Zenwu for three years, he took the initiative to be placed under the rule of the Buddhist Kingdom.
And now, the ruler of the Tianyuan Dynasty, Yang Tai, known as the "Kaiyuan Emperor", has also chosen to enter the Buddhist Kingdom for "further study."
He bought and opened his own cave in the outer city, and is heading towards a deeper level of cultivation.
Yang Zhiyuan's father, Yong Wang Yang Jixin, also followed Yang Tai.
Almost all the powerful men in the Tianyuan Dynasty who had some financial resources set their sights on the Buddhist Kingdom.
This phenomenon is not limited to the Tianyuan Dynasty.
In fact, countless forces have followed suit,
They invested their resources and power into the Buddhist Kingdom because the aura there was so rich that it was irresistible.
Even a strong person at the Venerable level can greatly improve his practice speed in the environment of the Buddhist country.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.
Therefore, there was a certain degree of emptiness within the Tianyuan Dynasty.
But this is not an isolated case. This is the trend in the entire practice world. Everyone is flocking to the Buddhist Kingdom to seek faster progress in practice.
The growth of the population in the Buddhist Kingdom is undoubtedly good news for the True Monarch who cultivates virtue.
He was happy to see the success, because every poll tax made the Buddha's treasury richer.
The method of collecting the poll tax by the True Monarch of Cultivating Good People is also quite skillful.
That's a fixed amount for the poor, and a percentage of real damage for the strong.
Although the masters of the Tianyuan Dynasty were distressed, all the treasures accumulated by the dynasty for tens of thousands of years were lost.
But when he thought about the cultivation environment in the Buddhist Kingdom, he gritted his teeth and chose to enter the Buddhist Kingdom, and then opened a cave in the outer city of the Imperial City for a large sum of money.
Yang Zhiyuan also heard about the Buddhist Kingdom and deeply agreed with the concept of the Buddhist Kingdom.
That is his ideal heaven on earth!
Everyone is equal, no matter how high or low they are, they all have the opportunity to practice and improve themselves.
This is the concept set for him by the classics he has read since childhood and everything he has experienced.
He believes that there should be no such thing as three, six or nine in this world.
Opportunities should be equal!
In his mind, practice is not a privilege for nobles, nor is it a tool to ensure his rule, but a power that everyone should have.
This belief makes Yang Zhiyuan's yearning for the Buddhist Kingdom even stronger. He is eager to one day experience all the beauty of the Buddhist Kingdom in person.
However, reality is always cruel.
Yang Zhiyuan clearly knows that with his current situation, going to the Buddhist Kingdom is just an unattainable dream.
Regardless of the fact that I am just a young man with no power to tie a chicken,
Transportation, capitation fees, and distance are all issues that I have not yet solved.
But Jerry Yang was not discouraged and chose another path.
He can only choose to continue reading, Buddhist scriptures, Confucianism, Taoism, Law...
He eagerly filled his mind with all the knowledge he could relate to.
In the winter of the third year of Zenwu, Yang Zhiyuan was still immature, only thirteen years old.
In this cold winter, the old man who cut wood suddenly broke out due to long-hidden injuries in his body, which made him unable to continue to persevere, and finally passed away quietly this winter.
This old man was once the True Lord of the Yangshen, and was a highly respected presence wherever he was, but his departure was so silent.
Before the old man passed away, he left Yang Zhiyuan a small booklet. This booklet did not involve any Taoism, but it was related to martial arts.
According to the old man's last words, he mistakenly entered a place called "Confucian Country" hundreds of years ago.
Among them, the "Emperor Confucian" is the nominal number two figure in the Buddhist Kingdom today, namely Tianfo Zhao Yuan.
Martial arts flourished in the Confucian Kingdom. Although it did not develop much, it was still pretty good.
And this "White Whale Body Refining Boxing" originated from the Confucian Kingdom.
According to the contents in the booklet, Yang Zhiyuan began to practice martial arts secretly and carefully.
He often went to the mountains to chop firewood and feed himself some simple blood food such as rabbits to nourish his body.
Everyone in the house thought that Yang Zhiyuan just couldn't stand the cold and went to chop wood, so they didn't think too much about it.
But what they didn't expect was that Yang Zhiyuan was extremely talented in martial arts and had already entered the country in just three days.
And this is because Yang Zhiyuan was born with a weak foundation and weak body.
The person in charge of Prince Yong's Mansion at that time was Prince Yong's wife, Princess Qing.
Princess Qing knew that her cultivation talent was not very good, and she had exhausted countless precious materials to barely reach the realm of the Nine Tribulations Master.
Fortunately, Princess Qing had a good natal family and was able to reach her current position.
Due to the high head tax, Princess Qing did not go to the Buddhist Kingdom with King Yong.
Instead, he stayed in the palace and held sole power.
Princess Qing's hatred for Yang Zhiyuan did not last overnight.
The "Da Luo Ji Xin Dao" practiced by Yong Wang Yang Ji Xin is an extremely cruel and rare secret method in Buddhism.
It requires practitioners to eliminate all desires and emotions, and turn all the seven emotions and six desires into a stream of emptiness, so as to achieve the absolute silence of the soul.
Once a practitioner is able to completely cut off thousands of love threads, he or she will be able to open a broad road that points to the subtleties and reach the state of unity between the soul and all things.
Although Yang Zhiyuan's mother "Qing Yi" is only an actress in a brothel in name, her true identity is equally extraordinary.
She is a Buddhist practitioner in "Taiye Temple", a branch of the Reincarnation Dao.
Even Qing Yi is just a pseudonym.
The "Guhuan Tianmo Dance" he practices is specifically designed to collect men's emotions.
It is precisely for this reason that Qing Yi chose such a sensual place as his place of practice.
And the last thread of love in Yang Ji's heart was accidentally connected to Qing Yi.
He could feel that his heart, which had not been moved for thousands of years because of practicing Daluo Jixin Dao, was actually shaken by this humble brothel woman.
Afterwards, Yang Jixin welcomed Qing Yi into the palace.
After Qing Yi gave birth to a son, Yang Jixin finally saw the existence of the last thread of love.
He is a ruthless and indifferent seeker of Taoism, and he has blatantly chosen to kill his wife to prove Taoism and cut off their love!
Yang Ji's heart is clear,
But Qing Yi's posthumous son survived, that is, Yang Zhiyuan.
Jerry Yang did not know such a story at first.
I just thought that my mother died of a normal illness.
But what he didn't expect was that Princess Qing was extremely vicious.
Seeing that the old man who cut firewood was dead, she planned to take Yang Zhiyuan's life directly.
Winter is gradually passing, and Yang Zhiyuan's martial arts cultivation has reached the pinnacle of martial arts master.
He was a little confused, and even he didn't know how he practiced.
This seemed a little too fast than I knew.
He has never seen anyone practicing martial arts so fast.
And the content of the White Whale Body Refining Fist in this classic book ends here.
He could feel that this was just the end of the book, not him.
Regarding the following content, it is how to break the Dantian and condense the acupoints, but there is nothing in this classic.
However, Yang Zhiyuan's talent was extraordinary, and he felt that he seemed to be able to continue to accumulate energy and blood and strengthen his body.
So he continued to practice.
In March of the fourth year of Zenwu, Princess Qing felt the changes in Yang Zhiyuan's body shape and aura.
But he didn't take it to heart. Even if he practiced some simple martial arts, what would he achieve in a few months?
However, Princess Qing didn't want to delay it any longer, and she decided to take action while Yang Zhiyuan was going up the mountain to chop firewood.
She randomly assigned a servant in the mansion who was already a real person from Sanjie, and believed that this was a sure-fire situation!
What Princess Qing didn't expect was that Yang Zhiyuan was no longer what he used to be.
With terrifying energy and blood comparable to that of a martial saint, Yang Zhiyuan had a crushing advantage over the Three Tribulations Master.
However, his compassion did not make Yang Zhiyuan choose to kill this servant of Sanjie. He only asked about the fact that the person who wanted to kill him was Princess Qing.
Yang Zhiyuan was very puzzled by this. He had always respected this lady.
Although he was mean to himself, he never lost his manners.
Yang Zhiyuan adhered to his own opinions and went to the palace to ask questions.
Princess Qing originally thought that the servant had failed in her mission, but she never thought that Yang Zhiyuan would choose to throw himself into the trap.
Princess Qing was so happy that she directly asked a guard from the Yang Shen True Monarch realm to break Yang Zhiyuan's limbs, pick the meridians all over his body, and also destroy his Dantian.
However, Yang Zhiyuan has a strong character. Even in such a desperate situation, he still chose to know everything.
Princess Qing was in a good mood and told him everything about her parents.
After Yang Zhiyuan heard this, he still couldn't let go.
He didn't understand why his father could kill someone he loved so decisively?
Princess Qing told Yang Zhiyuan that King Yong was heartless and had only himself and the dynasty in his heart. Even if he was his son, King Yong could kill him without fail.
Yang Zhiyuan is a little unimaginable. Although he has said very badly in recent years,
But he also always framed the beautiful image of his father in his childhood memories.
I just didn't expect that everything was just an illusion.
Princess Qing felt very happy as she watched Yang Zhiyuan become desperate.
In the past, she and Qing Yi didn't deal with each other.
In addition, Qing Yi's cultivation level suppressed her more than once, which led to Princess Qing always holding a grudge against Yi Yi.
After Qing Yi's death, this resentment did not subside, but was transferred to Yang Zhiyuan.
But at this moment, when she looked at Yang Zhiyuan's calm eyes, Princess Qing felt a little creepy.
She immediately ordered her men to kill Yang Zhiyuan.
But unexpectedly, a curse seal sealed in Yang Zhiyuan's body before Qing Yi's death broke out.
A top true king's life-saving blow destroyed most of the palace in an instant.
Princess Qing had no major problems because she carried a magic weapon, but she was disgraced.
She was extremely angry, but she could not find Yang Zhiyuan.
Ever since, she decisively issued a fatwa.
At this moment, Yang Zhiyuan also used the teleportation technique hidden in his mother's curse seal to teleport to the deep forest behind the palace. (End of chapter)
