Chapter 579 Secret Realm
Three years later, a new chapter in history has opened.
At this moment, except for the entire holy land of Yingzhou, Kyoto, where Dainichi Imperial Palace is located, has not yet been touched,
Almost all of the vast four islands of Kyushu have bowed under the iron heel of Toshiki Hase.
In this extremely short period of time, the entire situation in Yingzhou has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Hase Toshiki, who was at the top of the mountain, was not arrogant because of this. He knew very well that the revered Master Amaterasu,
The prestige accumulated over the long years is so profound.
Even he, and even his mentor Hideki Furukawa,
Deep down in my heart, I still have deep respect for His Majesty Amaterasu.
Because of this, people's faith in His Majesty Amaterasu remains rock-solid among the people.
Toshiki Hase also contributed to the situation, so that various sacrificial activities not only did not decrease due to the turmoil of the current situation, but became more grand and frequent.
All of this was part of Xie Que's plan.
He knew very well that only by letting Nichiren God sink deeper and deeper into the state of Tianzhu, could his plan be gradually realized.
In order to maintain temporary stability among the people, Toshiki Hase was not in a hurry to become king and hegemony.
Instead, he sized up the situation and established the Heian Shogunate first to consolidate the foundation of his rule.
He calls himself the Shogun, a title that is exactly the same as Sakata Zang in the past.
In the current Yingzhou, apart from Lord Nichiren and Xie Que, the powerful gods are standing at the pinnacle of the world.
Among the group of hermits, the number of powerful people in the divine realm is almost zero.
Most of the divine masters who used to belong to the Tenshogunate were lost due to Furukawa Hideki's iron-fisted methods, causing the number of divine masters to drop sharply.
Among them, Sakata Zang and Akainu, the two most powerful gods, were even taken into the underworld by Xie Que.
Today, the only two remaining powerful men in the divine realm have also chosen to surrender to Hase Toshiki, the new shogun, and become an important force under his command.
In addition, with the new breakthrough to the divine realm in Nakano, the Heian Shogunate now has four divine realms at the same time.
In addition, standing behind him is the unfathomable Takeshi Kurokawa.
Such a lineup is indeed enough to suppress the entire Yingzhou.
Even so, Toshiki Hase has been feeling uneasy lately.
His teacher and master have been practicing in seclusion for several years. Although they are assisted by two powerful men in the divine realm,
But as the burden on his shoulders became heavier and heavier, he gradually felt a little powerless.
This heavy pressure made him more cautious when handling shogunate affairs, for fear of making any mistakes.
There is no other reason than that the territory of the four islands of Kyushu is so vast that it is unimaginable.
It stretches for three million miles in the east-west direction, and spans an astonishing 70 million miles in the north-south direction.
It was enough to make Toshiki Hase feel stressed and heartbroken.
Faced with such a huge territory, Furukawa Hideki once considered following the example of the former Tenshogunate and implementing a feudal system, that is, setting up vassals in various places for more effective management.
However, he always kept his master's instructions in mind, and in order to nourish the dragon's energy, he resolutely chose to adhere to the centralized system.
Only in this way can he hope to transform into a true dragon earlier and faster and realize his own sublimation and transformation.
Dealing with these complicated affairs, for him as a monk,
Although it is difficult, you can finally finish it.
However, what makes Toshiki Hase even more troubled are the many disturbances and problems in the offshore area.
In recent years, the Pantheon's actions in the open sea seem to have become more and more frequent, and these abnormal actions often lead to frequent natural disasters in coastal areas.
Disasters such as tsunamis and earthquakes have become commonplace.
Occasionally, there will even be strange monsters that wreak havoc in coastal areas, bringing great panic and destruction to the local area.
Although Toshiki Hase has suppressed these disasters several times, the turmoil outside the sea still worries him deeply.
However, in recent days, Toshiki Hase has always felt an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
It seemed as if something important was about to happen, and this feeling made him have trouble sleeping and eating.
As time went on, this uneasiness grew stronger.
It must be said that Toshiki Hase's premonition was quite accurate.
At the Amaterasu Grand Festival held the next month, the phantoms of three great demons suddenly appeared in the sky.
However, the three-headed monster's phantom did not make any attack on him.
Instead, he began to slowly extract the dragon energy from the top of the Heian Imperial Palace.
Seeing this scene, Hase Toshiki couldn't help but feel a strong anger and anxiety in his heart.
He knew very well that these dragon energies were the foundation for him to rule the four islands of Kyushu and secure his position as shogun.
Once the dragon energy is gone, he will most likely lose his current power and status.
Hase Toshiki wanted to do something, but he realized that
Except for him, no one else could see the shadow of the great demon in the sky.
However, he just watched helplessly, unable to do anything, and his helplessness and anxiety were intertwined in his heart.
The dragon energy gradually disappeared like running water, and the dragon veins hidden under the Ping An Imperial Palace were also slowly drawn away.
What's even worse is that the five-color dragon energy surrounding his head,
He was actually taken away by one of the big demons and disappeared into the sky.
From the beginning to the end, those arrogant demons didn't even look at him, as if he was just an insignificant existence.
This made Toshiki Hase feel deeply shocked, and even gave him a hint of fear.
Since the incident, he has been growing up under the protection of his teacher and master. When has he ever experienced something like this that left him defenseless?
This was the first time that he felt so powerless and defeated.
What's more, this matter also involves dragon energy and dragon veins, so there must be no mistakes.
But Toshiki Hase has served as shogun for several years after all.
His city also received a lot of training during this period.
Although he was turbulent inside, he didn't show anything strange on the surface.
He remained calm and composed and completed every aspect of the ceremony step by step.
…
The former Aoki Shrine later became the Tendo Temple.
Later, with the rise of Heping Imperial Palace, the new dojo was moved to the city and became the new Yingzhou Martial Arts Center.
Today, the dilapidated shrine has been eroded by time and nature. It is overgrown with weeds and looks quite desolate.
But the shrine hidden underground still maintains its original appearance, as if time has stopped here.
Except for the roots of the green wood, which were consumed due to some kind of need of Xie Que, the entire underground palace has been renovated.
This became Xie Que's retreat.
However, in the tranquility at this moment, Furukawa Hideki seemed a little uneasy.
There was a trace of hesitation and worry between his brows.
He sat cross-legged across from Xie Que, his eyes full of anxiety and worry.
Xie Que glanced at him, with a smile on his lips:
"What? Are you starting to feel sorry for Toshiki?"
Furukawa Hideki shook his head gently and sighed:
"This kid Junshu does need to go through some setbacks and hardships...but, teacher..."
"Can we just watch helplessly and let the Pantheon steal the dragon energy we have worked so hard to accumulate over the years?"
Xie Que smiled calmly, waved his hand and said:
"It doesn't matter, the dragon energy is just bait, so what if it's lost? As long as Toshiki doesn't lose his identity as a hidden dragon, the lost dragon energy will come back sooner or later."
However, Furukawa Hideki still said with worry:
"Having said that, if the dragon veins also suffer losses..."
Xie Que didn't take it seriously. He interrupted Furukawa Hideki's words without caring:
"Then just move the capital, it's no big deal."
"You have to know that if you take something from me... you will eventually get it back."
This last sentence revealed a chill, which made Hideki Furukawa feel a little chilled.
At the same time, Furukawa Hideki also instantly understood the teacher's thoughts. He realized that this was a deliberate plan by the teacher to lure the snake out of the hole.
Xie Que's purpose is to attract those members of the Pantheon who are hiding deep in the outer sea, so as to find the location of the Inverted Five Elements Mountain.
Although the Dragon Qi of the Imperial Palace is deep, the Pantheon of Gods would never dare to steal it.
Xie Que was just betting that the Pantheon would covet the dragon energy of Ping'an Imperial Palace.
Pantheon's behavior of searching for dragon veins and harvesting dragon energy overseas has always been of concern to him.
Now it is finally time to close the net.
Xie Que closed his eyes and concentrated.
He has already left his mark on the dragon energy. As long as the people of the Pantheon dare to use the dragon energy, he can immediately track their location.
Recalling the courage he had left on Jiezi in the past, he was a little regretful that he could not find the location of the Five Elements Mountain.
But now that he was taking action again, he couldn't make any mistakes.
Over the years, the reason why he chose to practice in seclusion, along with Hideki Furukawa, was also in hiding.
He never showed up or took action, just waiting for this opportunity to lure the snake out of its hole.
Now it seems that his plan was indeed successful, and the Pantheon could no longer hold back and began to take action.
Although these big demons carefully used secret methods to steal dragon energy in order to remain secretive,
They tried to cover up their whereabouts, but their actions were still traceable and their traces could not be completely erased.
Xie Que's thoughts were keenly attached to the stolen dragon energy, like a falcon staring closely at its prey. He followed the trajectory of the dragon energy and headed straight for the vast open sea.
In his perception, the dragon energy was like a slender thread, passing through the waves and guiding him forward.
In just a moment, the drawn dragon energy led him to the outer sea thousands of miles deep.
At the same time, the three big demons also appeared within the range of Xie Que's thoughts, and they seemed to be performing some kind of ceremony.
These three great demons all appear in the form of dragons, but their forms are different from An Mitsuha, and each has unique characteristics.
Xie Que couldn't help but feel a trace of curiosity. Could it be that these great monsters in the divine realm were transformed from creatures like fish and snakes?
Otherwise, why would they all transform into dragon forms.
Or is there a deeper secret hidden in it?
The appearance of these great monsters is not as simple as it seems.
On the outer sea, these three great demons performed another complex and mysterious chant.
As they moved, a huge dark vortex suddenly appeared above the sea. It was bottomless and seemed to lead to another unknown world.
When Xie Que tried to use his spiritual consciousness to explore inside, he found that his spiritual consciousness was directly blocked and he was unable to explore deeply.
None of this went beyond Xie Que's expectations.
He had long guessed that the location of the inverted Five Elements Mountain must be hidden in a secret realm in the outer sea.
Otherwise, with his carpet-style search in the past, he should have found the exact location of the inverted Five Elements Mountain long ago.
At the moment when the three-headed monster stepped into the secret realm, Xie Que's thoughts of sticking to it suddenly broke off.
He was not surprised by this.
After all, just now, he had mastered the method of entering the secret realm and the specific location of the secret realm.
With this information, he no longer needed to act as eagerly as before.
Xie Que suddenly opened his eyes and his eyes fell on Furukawa Hideki in front of him.
Although Furukawa Hideki had cultivated to the realm of martial gods, he did not embark on the path of opening up the cave world like Xie Que.
On the contrary, he chose a more traditional martial arts practice path.
After all, the time and resources required to practice the cave world are too huge and terrifying.
Xie Que spent decades plundering resources everywhere, and with the support of his original body, he was able to condense such a dark land.
If Furukawa Hideki also chooses the same way of cultivation, then his progress in cultivation will inevitably become extremely slow.
However, now, Furukawa Hideki is at a critical moment of cultivation.
The Taoist method "Bodhi Heart Certificate" he practices has also reached the peak of the sixth realm. He only needs to condense the divine body to break through the current realm.
In Xie Que's plan, Furukawa Hideki is far more important than Hase Toshiki.
Because Furukawa Hideki's talent is so outstanding, he will become Xie Que's most important card when facing Yingzhou Tiandao in the future.
Now that Sakata Zang is isolated, Furukawa Hideki is undoubtedly the strongest person on the surface of Yingzhou.
If Tiandao is interested, Xie Que can choose Furukawa Hideki as his agent to seize the Tianxin Seal in the future.
Otherwise, he still has to step on the stage in person to be useful.
Xie Que pondered for a moment and said to his disciple: "I have found the inverted Five Elements Mountain."
Furukawa Hideki already knew Xie Que's intention, and was also overjoyed when he heard it: "Congratulations, teacher."
Xie Que bowed his head: "But before that, I still have something for you to do."
Furukawa Hideki said respectfully: "Please tell me, teacher."
Xie Que smiled: "Go to the outer sea and destroy the temples of those false gods in the Pantheon."
Furukawa Hideki left without asking why.
The purpose of Xie Que's move was also very simple, that is, to weaken the power of the Pantheon in advance.
With Furukawa Hideki's strength, no one in the Pantheon would be his opponent unless Qianye True Dragon and Mustard Seed came out.
At the same time, it was also to test the reality of Qianye True Dragon.
If Qianye True Dragon was really a good fortune, and used the Tianxin Seal, I'm afraid I would have to find another way.
After all, I am not yet an opponent of a god with the Tianxin Seal.
Thinking of this, Xie Que stared at the dark earth in the cave in his body:
"But... it will be soon..." (End of this chapter)
