Chapter 325 Riding a tiger to the capital, reunion
"Congratulations! You have obtained Xuanhuang Gongqi, and your understanding of the Taoist method "Xuanhuang Pagoda Technique" [Jue 4th Grade] has been improved, and your proficiency level is +0.05."
"Congratulations! With the Xuanhuang Gongqi, your understanding of the Taoist method "Xuanhuang Pagoda Technique" [Jue 4th Grade] has been improved, and your proficiency level is +0.005."
Reward prompts appear one after another. The former is obtained by killing Wu Shanjun, and the latter is obtained by killing Wu San.
Such an increase in proficiency is definitely a boon.
Zhou Heng was very happy. When he was in Daqi, he tried his best to kill a demon pollutant that was barely comparable to the fifth level of Zong, but he only gained a proficiency of 0.001.
You must know that the great demon pollutant is said to be an "invincible enemy."
And now the tiger demon Wu San, who is only rated as a "vulnerable enemy", has gained five times the black and yellow merit energy.
This contrast is really too strong.
"What Jiang Jian and senior brother said is indeed correct. In a world with a lower overall power level, it is indeed easier to get feedback from the rules of heaven and earth."
The corners of Zhou Heng's mouth raised slightly. At this speed of acquiring the Xuanhuang Gongqi, it won't take long for him to truly master the Xuanhuang Pagoda Technique.
When the time comes, I will be a little excited when I think about the mysterious and yellow exquisite tower above my head, which will ward off all evil and prevent all evil.
Even if this pagoda is fake, it should be able to greatly improve his defense.
By then, even when facing a real fifth-grade master, he might be able to fight.
After the joy, Zhou Heng's mind gradually calmed down, and then he turned his attention to the memory fragments he had previously obtained from the tiger demon Wu San.
There is a very important message here.
"Ye Long's father, the most trusted national advisor by Ye Feng, the current emperor of Liang Kingdom, is actually a tiger demon. In Wu San's memory, the tiger demon has even approached the Tianxin state." Zhou Heng was a little surprised.
His soul came to this world, and the possessed body was that of Prince Ye Long of the Liang Kingdom. He had some impressions of the imperial advisor and knew that this person was deeply trusted by Emperor Liang and that he was not even as powerful as the prime minister of the dynasty.
"Jiang Jian and I are scheduled to meet in the capital of Liang Kingdom. Maybe we will meet this tiger monster for a while." Zhou Heng looked at the direction of the capital of Liang Kingdom, and then rode the tiger and flew towards Qingxiang Town.
After this trip to slay demons, he clearly felt that he still had a lot of martial arts skills that could be turned into spells, and in this way he could further improve the longevity formula.
This is also a top priority.
If we can really develop a new cultivation principle beyond the concept of divine soul contemplation, it will most likely cause a violent feedback of the laws of heaven and earth, thereby gaining a lot of merit.
…
Life in Qingxiang Town was very peaceful, and three months passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Heng, apart from going out to slay demons, would stay in the small courtyard and study the secret of immortality.
After this period of improvement, this brand-new technique has been deduced by him into a relatively complete training system.
Form refining, induction, qi entrainment, true qi, thinking, Yin Shen, Yang Shen.
These are the seven steps of immortality in Zhou Heng's imagination. The state of Yin Shen is his current state of condensing the image of the soul. It is similar to the true form state of contemplation, but there are many differences. It can be regarded as the combination of true energy and soul.
Before reaching the Yin Shen realm, monks were almost equivalent to the lower third level of martial arts. The Yin Shen realm could be classified into the Secret Sixth level, and higher levels.
As for Yang Shen, that is at the fourth level.
From the Yin Shen to the Yang Shen, it is the leap between the Secret Sixth Grade and the Absolute Fourth Grade.
Such a span is huge, and under normal circumstances, the division of realms would not be like this.
It's just because Zhou Heng currently only has the True Qi realm and has not even mastered the True Gang. He can only make some speculations about higher realms through deduction.
In other words, what is really relatively complete now is only the cultivation method equivalent to the Secret Sixth Stage.
As for the details of higher realms, they still need to be perfected.
The seven steps to immortality are not necessarily just seven steps.
However, even so, when Zhou Heng told Yu Jianghe this method, he was shocked.
As a veteran monk who is over seventy years old, he has devoted his whole life to the method of visualization. He never thought that someone in the world could actually come up with another path of cultivation.
This is incredible.
From then on, Yu Jianghe and Yu Liushui became more and more convinced of Zhou Heng.
Originally they just thought that Zhou Heng was the reincarnation of the ancient Heavenly Heart Power, but now they felt that Zhou Heng might become a Taoist god in the world, and even achieve higher achievements.
According to legend, only those who create their own contemplation methods that can reach the heavenly state of mind can become a Taoist god.
Zhou Heng, on the other hand, created a new discipline besides the method of contemplation, which was an unprecedented achievement.
It is natural to become a Taoist God!
…
"Senior, there is news from Sangyang City that the demon over there has been killed." Yu Jianghe reported the situation to Zhou Heng, with a somewhat ashamed expression on his face.
During the recent period, in addition to concentrating on practicing the Seven Steps of Immortality, Yu Jianghe was still helping Zhou Heng investigate news about demons in various places.
The senior said that slaying demons was beneficial to spiritual practice, so naturally he did not dare to neglect it, lest it delay the senior's practice.
That would be a grave sin.
He had informed Zhou Heng of the traces of demons in Sangyang City the day before yesterday. Zhou Heng indeed planned to go to Sangyang City to eliminate the demons in two days, but he did not expect that the demons there would be eliminated before he even went there.
"Oh? Did the monks of the Holy Mercy Sect take action?" Zhou Heng asked doubtfully, "Will they be so active?"
Since the trip to Wushan Town, Zhou Heng went out to kill demons more than ten times to accumulate merit.
However, he never met anyone from the Holy Church of Mercy, which made him doubt whether the Holy Church of Mercy had given up Liang State.
"It's not someone from the Holy Church of Mercy." Yu Jianghe shook his head and said, "They are not that diligent. It is said that it is a female cultivator who calls herself Cheng Bei."
Cheng Bei?
Zhou Heng smiled when he heard it and said, "So that's it. This is one of my Taoist friends. You don't have to care."
Cheng Bei is naturally Cheng Jiangjian.
She is Beidou's pseudonym Cheng Bei, just like Ziwei Zhou Heng's pseudonym Zhou Wei.
This is also what they agreed before they descended.
"It's actually your Taoist friend." Yu Jianghe was amazed.
The tone of Zhou Heng's words just now was obviously not the polite address of Taoist friends among cultivators.
But a real Taoist friend, a fellow Taoist.
For such a powerful person who has opened his own Taoist path, I wonder what kind of person his Taoist friend is?
Moreover, that was a female cultivator. Could it be... that was probably the Taoist partner of the senior!
Zhou Heng didn't know what mess Yu Jianghe had made up in his mind. After hearing the news that Cheng Jiangjian had eliminated the demon, he began to calculate the time.
It seemed that it would be almost half a year since he came here.
"Since Jiangjian has gone out to eliminate the demon, it means that she has gained a certain amount of strength." Zhou Heng said in his heart: "Well, it's time to go to the capital."
With this in mind, he did not hesitate and immediately said to Yu Jianghe: "I will go to the capital in three days. I will trouble you to teach these two children in Qingxiang Town."
"You are going to the capital?" Yu Jianghe was stunned at first, and then he seemed to have realized something, "Do you want to end your fate in this life?"
Recently, he has heard some news about the Liang State Master from some Taoist friends, and many people suspect that it may be a demon.
However, for the cultivators, the life and death of a country has nothing to do with them, and there is no substantial benefit in eliminating monsters, so naturally no one cares about the national master.
This has led to the national master becoming more and more arrogant, and it is said that he is close to completely controlling the government.
Even the important officials in the court have been replaced, and perhaps half of them are monsters.
At this time, Yu Jianghe already knew that the "senior" in front of him was reincarnated into the Ye family of the Liang Kingdom's royal family in this life, and his name was Ye Long.
Therefore, now that he heard Zhou Heng say that he was going to the capital, he naturally thought that Zhou Heng wanted to eliminate the monster that was causing trouble in the capital.
And eliminating that monster and saving the Liang Kingdom, which was in danger, theoretically speaking, the "senior"'s fate with the Liang Kingdom's royal family in this life has been severed.
"But it's not a severance of fate." Zhou Heng smiled and said: "It's going there to meet some people."
"If the senior needs anything, Jianghe is willing to serve the senior." Yu Jianghe said.
"That's not necessary. I'll ride Da Huang directly over there." Zhou Heng smiled and said, "You just help me teach the two children here."
- Da Huang was the name he gave to the double-winged tiger monster.
"I will obey the orders of the senior." Yu Jianghe said respectfully.
"Don't fall behind in your own practice." Zhou Heng reminded him, just like an elder who was about to travel and instructing a younger generation.
Although Zhou Heng's actual age was much younger than Yu Jianghe, the two did not feel anything wrong during the conversation.
The cultivator who achieved success was the first, this was the principle of this world.
Zhou Heng also followed the local customs.
...
The capital of Liang State.
This is the center of Liang State and the most prosperous place. Even at night, there are bright lights everywhere.
Especially in the imperial city, this is even more so.
The Qinzheng Hall.
This is the place where the emperor of Liang State, Ye Feng, handles things. The lights are on all year round.
At this time, Ye Feng was looking at a memorial that had just been submitted today, with a complicated expression on his face.
"...An immortal master rode a yellow tiger and flew to the sky. He stayed in Sangyang City and then headed to the capital... It is rumored that this immortal master is the prince Ye Long..."
When this memorial was just delivered to Ye Feng, his first reaction was disbelief.
Ye Long had been away with the immortal master for less than half a year. How could he be able to fly to the sky?
This is unreasonable.
As the king of a country, Ye Feng still has some basic understanding of the situation of cultivators. He knows that those who can fly to the sky are also great figures among cultivators.
How long has Ye Long been cultivating immortals?
How could he make such rapid progress?
But what if Ye Long really succeeded in cultivation and became an immortal master who could fly to the sky and enter the blue sky?
Thinking of this, Ye Feng's heart did not feel the slightest joy, but was full of worries.
What if, what if Ye Long came to seize his throne?
Since ancient times, it is not uncommon for princes to kill the king and plot for the throne in any country.
Especially since this prince possessed power beyond the control of the royal family, Ye Feng could not help but feel a little worried.
It is true that the immortal masters had set an iron rule that the emperor could not cultivate immortality, and those who cultivated immortality could not be emperors, but this did not prevent the cultivators from supporting a puppet to sit on the throne.
"You really make me worry. Whether this is true or not, we must deal with it with caution." Ye Feng's face was gloomy. He looked outside and said, "Come here, call the national master!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" The voice of the eunuch came from outside.
After a while, a figure walked outside the Qinzheng Hall, and walked directly through layers of guards, pushed the door and walked in unimpeded.
This Qinzheng Palace is heavily guarded. Usually, except for the emperor himself and the eunuchs accompanying him, one has to go through a lot of interrogation before entering.
But the Imperial Master is an exception. Except for the harem, the Imperial Master can enter and exit any place in the imperial city at will without interrogation.
This Imperial Master is called Wu Cheng.
He is wearing a purple Taoist robe, elegant and luxurious. He looks like a handsome middle-aged man in his forties, with a long beard. He claims to be a Taoist who has practiced for three hundred years, and has a bit of immortal style.
"Your Majesty summoned me late at night, but it was because of the matter of Prince Ye Long." Wu Cheng smiled.
"The Imperial Master knows me." Ye Feng nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I heard that he came riding a tiger and flying in the sky, and he has the style of an immortal master."
"Then your Majesty, have you thought it through? Do you want him to die or live?" Wu Cheng spoke very straightforwardly, as if he didn't care whether Ye Feng would be angry about it.
"..." Ye Feng was silent for a long time after hearing this. Finally, he closed his eyes and said, "Liang State needs a stable situation and does not need two national masters. This is what the people want. I want to think about the people. When the time comes, please ask the national master to take action."
"I will obey the emperor's order." Wu Cheng saluted respectfully, bowed slightly, lowered his head, and a smile flowed from the corner of his mouth.
...
Zhou Heng did not hide his whereabouts when he went to the capital, but rode a tiger to the sky openly, passing through many big cities along the way, making countless people kneel on the ground and shouting for the arrival of the immortal master.
This is absolutely impossible in Da Qi.
"In the Middle Ages, the powerful were also above the royal power. Is it the same? What about the dark ages before?"
Zhou Heng's mind was scattered, and at the same time, he passed through layers of high clouds and saw another magnificent city in front of him.
This is the imperial city of Liang State in Ye Long's memory.
Even the common people in the imperial city, seeing someone riding a tiger and flying in the sky, still felt like seeing a god. They knelt down and kowtowed to the immortal master.
Not only the common people, but even the guards in front of the gate could not help but kneel down. Even the guards in the imperial city put down their weapons and saluted the figure in the sky with great respect.
The immortal master, even if he is just an immortal master, is above the country and the emperor.
There is no doubt about this.
Zhou Heng looked at the scene inside and outside the imperial city and once again recognized the situation of this world.
Is this good or bad?
He had a doubt in his heart.
However, as Zhou Heng got closer to the capital, his mind could no longer stay on this doubt.
Under the induction of his spiritual sense, the demonic energy in the Liang Kingdom Imperial City was soaring!
At the same time, in the Jiahe Restaurant in the capital, a girl dressed as a handsome young man had bright eyes and looked up at the sky.
"Finally here!"
