Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Chapter 33 The New Dynasty's Court Has Decided, You Will Be the Imperial Advisor (Large Chapter Requesting Monthly Tickets~)
"You're saying... Ming Zhengde?"
Su Zhou was slightly stunned. He naturally understood what Yala meant. There was only one person who fit the description, so how could he not guess it?
Ming Zhengde, possessing the Nirvana Tear?
But, when was this?
No, more importantly, what are the effects of the Nirvana Tear? Could it be that the reason Ming Zhengde could be reborn time and time again was because of this possibly existing prototype of a Supreme God's gift?
"Although it's a bit strange, if we don't put it that way, it seems there's no way to explain it."
Muttering to himself, the youth didn't know what to say for a moment.
However, he quickly gave up thinking about this.
"Forget it, it's not important."
Shaking his head, Su Zhou turned his gaze to his personal space, looking at the Tengshe (a mythical serpent) that he had thrown into the Fire Element Sun, guarded by the Blade Spirit of the Miedu Zhi Ren (Blade of Annihilation).
"This, is a big dish that came to my door!"
——Personal Space·High Altitude——
In the Fire Element Sun, the Blade Spirit, still roughly maintaining its blade shape and vaguely transforming, was curiously flying up and down around the soul of the Tengshe.
"Go, go! Don't come near me!"
The incomparably sharp aura, as well as the divine sense derived from killing dragons and snakes, killing the undying, made the Tengshe, who was only in a soul state and still restrained, feel a chill in its heart, anxiously shooing away, "You little spirit, you're ignorant, what if you accidentally hurt me?"
"I still have to contribute to the True Dragon, I can't damage my soul!"
Hearing this, the Blade Spirit of the Miedu Zhi Ren seemed to understand and nodded.
Then it continued to circle around the Tengshe, occasionally making a happy 'clang~' sound.
"Sigh..."
Although on the surface, it was very helpless.
But in reality, the Tengshe had already calmed down.
From the moment it was absorbed into this space, it had been observing the surrounding situation.
And the result, made this Heavenly Demon extremely shocked.
"An independent space with a complete five elements cycle, self-sufficient!"
"Moreover, the longevity substance is so abundant!"
Sensing the spiritual energy density and spirituality of the personal space, the Tengshe couldn't help but feel shocked, even unbelievable, "Although, it's far from being comparable to a Celestial Abode... but it's independent of heaven and earth, and can be freely controlled!"
However, it quickly noticed that the spirituality in the personal space was slightly different from the longevity substance, "Wait, no... longevity substance, besides spirituality, should also have a core of pure qi (vital energy) from heaven and earth."
"The spirituality of this world is certainly abundant, but it doesn't have the aura originating from the Pishi Phoenix."
The Tengshe originally wanted to continue observing. It had already sensed the aura of the Divine Tree not far away. Having never seen such a powerful spiritual plant, it didn't even recognize whether it was another powerful True Dragon or some special spirit beast, until it vaguely sensed the wood qi behind that powerful vitality. At this time, Su Zhou's will had already arrived inside the personal space.
"Speak, continue with the previous question."
Su Zhou's will descended. His inquiry was simple and direct, and there was an aura of 'if you can't answer, don't even think about leaving', "There are Celestial Gods spying outside, so some things may be difficult to say, but here, you can speak freely."
But there was no need for him to threaten. The Tengshe, upon sensing Su Zhou's aura, immediately explained all of its purposes and origins.
——Since the invasion of the Celestial Abode's mortal realm failed, and they retreated back to the outer void, the Heavenly Demon race has been hiding in the corners of the void sea, freezing themselves with Xuanbing (Mystic Ice) to avoid being found by the Taihao God Emperor and being wiped out.
The void is infinitely deep, with no boundaries. Even the power of a God Emperor cannot exhaust it, so the Heavenly Emperors of the past could not exterminate the demons. Even if there were occasional gains, the cost and the reward were not proportional.
Originally, they should have continued to lurk until the next great tribulation appeared, or until the Celestial Abode and the Nine Abyss fought again, so they could find an opportunity to try to return to the world.
However, the appearance of the True Dragon aura made the demons uneasy.
In fact, even a True Dragon might not be able to convince all the Heavenly Demons.
But for the many demon races that had been drifting in the outer void for millions of years, what was important was no longer whether the True Dragon could lead them to conquer the Tianyuan World (Heaven Origin World) and awaken the Shiyuan Zhenlong (Primal True Dragon), but the very fact of 'is there even a True Dragon?'
And Su Zhou's appearance perfectly solved all the demons' problems.
"...So, it's still because of me?"
Su Zhou's expression was a bit strange. He probably understood what the Celestial God's assessment of 'I am the center of conflict' meant: "Because of my bloodline, gods and demons are all watching, and the Heavenly Demons are also moving because of this. A great demon Tengshe, who is comparable to a god or demon in the Celestial Abode, has also descended to observe me..."
"In this perfect world, everyone has their own plans, everyone has their own arrangements, so when an anomaly like me appears, who is outside of their plans and expectations, everyone becomes hypersensitive."
To be honest, this was indeed very different from Su Zhou's mentality – he was born liking things that were different, developments that were unexpected, and brand new things. It wasn't that he didn't like stability, but he always looked forward to novelty.
Thinking this, Su Zhou's will once again focused on the Tengshe.
Heavenly Demon...
Because of bloodline, the Heavenly Demons and True Dragons are natural allies.
No, to put it another way.
It is precisely because they both dislike the gods and demons that they are natural allies.
Unlike what Su Zhou imagined, the Heavenly Demon lineage could not only communicate, but also had a position very close to his own... If the only goal was to resist the gods and demons, then they could truly be said to have similar aspirations.
With the power of the Heavenly Demon lineage, as long as the opportunity was right, it would not be impossible to severely damage either the Celestial Abode or the Nine Abyss.
But there was one point, a big problem.
"Shiyuan Zhenlong – if you are using this name to refer to the will in the earth veins."
Speaking calmly, the youth's tone carried a hint of intriguing meaning, "Then, if He awakens, what will happen to the sentient beings in this world?"
"I also know about the Great Unfavorable. Even if gods and immortals die from the Five衰 (five signs of decay), and sentient beings perish, if that is the price of the Shiyuan Zhenlong's revival, then let Him continue to sleep."
"We don't know either."
And this was the Tengshe's answer, sincere and without a hint of hesitation – it really didn't know what the result would be, "We have never thought about this question."
"Awakening the Shiyuan Zhenlong, so that all the demon races can live freely, instead of being forced by the gods and immortals to stay in the outer void, eating light and dust all day long, and being accompanied by darkness – thinking about anything more is meaningless."
Su Zhou was immediately speechless.
The thinking pattern of this group of Heavenly Demons... worthy of being Yala's kin, truly incomparably chaotic.
Or rather, are they even thinking rationally?
Shaking his head, he ignored this aspect of the problem.
Afterwards, Su Zhou asked the Tengshe some related questions, and the other party was indeed as cooperative as it had said.
And from the mouth of this Heavenly Demon, Su Zhou obtained a third version of the story about the 'beginning of the world' and the 'Tribulation of Longevity'.
"The Tribulation of Longevity? That thing was caused by the first Celestial Emperor, 'Taichu'. After that old bird cast the Heavenly Dao of the stars, he absorbed all the pure qi of the Tianyuan World to prepare himself to break through to the 'Pishi Five Virtues Phoenix'."
Speaking like this, the Tengshe's body also stretched out in the Fire Element Sun, its tone carrying a hint of disdain, "But who would know that the power source of the seal that seals the Shiyuan Zhenlong is that trace of Pishi Phoenix qi in the pure qi of heaven and earth?"
"Having been taken away from all energy sources, the seal would naturally operate on its own, absorbing other energies from heaven and earth to maintain itself. The Tribulation of Longevity is just an insignificant manifestation of it. Deep within the two major continents of the southeast, they have already turned into 'spiritless areas'. Those places no longer have any spiritual energy, and are completely devoured by the seal."
The Tengshe's tone was certain, as if the facts were indeed so.
But Su Zhou did not completely believe it.
After all, before this, he had already obtained three completely different versions from 'Divine Birds', 'Celestial Gods', and 'Dragons and Snakes'.
One said that the gods and demons took away the longevity substance, leading to the Tribulation of Longevity, one said that the Shiyuan Zhenlong devoured the lifespan of all living beings, and one said that the sealing array absorbed the energy of all things...
Three versions, three stories.
Obviously, each had its own subjective components.
And Su Zhou, combining the same versions in various statements, could roughly determine that the 'Phoenix-Dragon conflict' existed, and that the Shiyuan Zhenlong, who had failed, did indeed have a trace of will sealed deep within the Tianyuan Continent.
The Celestial Gods aimed to achieve higher and stronger powers, they only wanted to use the pure qi of heaven and earth to achieve the power of the Pishi Phoenix.
The Demon Gods aimed for the Shiyuan Zhenlong, they intended to use the power of all living beings' wishes to erode the demon soil, gradually occupying the power of the Shiyuan Zhenlong.
And the Heavenly Demons' purpose was the simplest – they didn't want anything, they just wanted to wake up the Shiyuan Zhenlong, let Him see the stunned looks of those who were plotting against Him, and then watch the world burn.
Typical Yala behavior.
"It seems that the situation in this Origin World really does replicate the former battle between Chaos and Perfection..."
Thinking this, Su Zhou couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
After thinking for a moment, he continued to raise his head and solemnly asked the Tengshe: "What about the Heavenly Demons?"
"Although it is said that the Heavenly Demons' purpose is to plot the power of the Shiyuan Zhenlong, at least now, you still have a common powerful enemy, the 'Celestial Abode's Divine Court' – I don't think that your invasion of the Celestial Abode and the Mortal Realm in the past, without invading the Nine Abyss at all, was a natural development."
"The Heavenly Demons of the Nine Abyss..."
Speaking of this, the Tengshe, who had been very cooperative all along, suddenly laughed.
At this moment, the Heavenly Demon revealed a leisurely and calm aura. The soul transmission of this great demon became serious, "True Dragon, we do need you, as some kind of proof, and your strength, your future, is indeed enough to be the co-ruler of us Heavenly Demons."
"But now, you have not yet joined us, so this kind of thing, even you, I cannot say."
"But if you choose to fight with us against the gods and demons, then everything, I will know everything and say everything in detail."
Su Zhou naturally would not agree to such a thing.
He even used the Wuxiang Zhi Xin (Heart of No Thought) at the first moment to spy on the Tengshe's will.
But unfortunately, as a Tengshe with great perseverance and determination, who abandoned its Heavenly Demon body to enter the human world to find the True Dragon, the strength of its willpower, and the degree of protection of its own heart, was unmatched by all other beings.
The Wuxiang Zhi Xin (Heart of No Thought) rippled slightly, just like when facing Ming Zhengde, only some vague fragments and scraps could be heard.
However, the other party's attitude instead made Su Zhou certain of some things.
"I see."
The youth smiled softly. He now finally understood the situation of the Tianyuan World, "You and the Heavenly Demons are in a cooperative relationship, right?"
"Just like Ming Zhengde and the Celestial Gods also have an alliance contract on the surface, the Celestial Gods and the Human Race join forces to resist the Heavenly Demons and you Heavenly Demons – so the demon race's attack route in the past did not involve the Nine Abyss at all, and until the end when you were driven away, you also made all the preliminary preparations for the Nine Abyss to occupy the demon soil in the future."
This was not difficult to guess.
The enemy of an enemy may not be a friend, but at least there is a basis for cooperation.
When the Celestial Gods supported the Human Race as their spokesperson, it was only natural for the Heavenly Demons to seek out the Heavenly Demons to break the situation.
It's just that the Heavenly Demons are stronger than the Human Race, and the Heavenly Demons are weaker than the Celestial Gods, so the cooperative relationship between the two sides is not as unbearable as that of the Celestial Gods and the Human Race, almost like servants and masters.
The four sides each have their own plans, each have their own thoughts, maintaining the fragile balance of the Tianyuan Mortal Realm... and Ming Zhengde's purpose is to completely isolate the influence of the other three parties on the Tianyuan World, so that the sentient beings of the Tianyuan World can be their own masters!
"Moreover."
Thinking of this, Su Zhou couldn't help but recall the information that Ming Zhengde had told him in the past. He recalled the situation where the Linmao (Scale and Fur) races attacked the Celestial Abode and advanced all the way like a hot knife through butter, almost attacking the core.
"—Inside the Celestial Gods, there are also Heavenly Demons or Heavenly Demons spies, right?"
Su Zhou's tone was as if he had already confirmed this.
And the originally active Tengshe now lowered its head and remained silent.
Although it did not reveal any flaws or evidence, sometimes, confirming something does not require any evidence.
Su Zhou nodded in satisfaction.
——Sure enough, the Celestial Gods are not an iron plate.
Among them, there are also insiders!
And just as Su Zhou was in mid-air, extracting information from the Heavenly Demon Tengshe's soul, who took the initiative to surrender, and analyzing the situation.
A huge reform and change appeared in the area centered on the capital of the New Kingdom.
——New Kingdom·Kyoto——
For the cultivators living in this Central Earth, they could be said to have encountered a great opportunity recently!
Some time ago, the arrival of the Zhuri (Candle Sun) Divine Bird made thousands of citizens excited and excited. The phenomena and changes it brought made everyone look forward to the upcoming transformation.
However, until the Divine Bird Zhuri left after forging weapons, no major changes had occurred, making everyone a bit confused and strange.
After all, before Zhuri, every Divine Bird who came to visit the New Dynasty and the Holy Emperor would give this newborn country great blessings and help, bringing new keys to transformation.
For example, the arrival of the Suzaku (Vermilion Bird) race improved the New Kingdom's weapon forging pool system, allowing thousands of spirit machines and Jingwu (Essence Martial) to be popularized, greatly increasing the New Dynasty's combat power, so that it could completely suppress the Zhengyang Kingdom's elite soldiers with the help of gods and demons, and the powerful Kun demons.
And the 'Nourishing Spirit Land' design brought by the Qingluan (Cyan Luan) race allowed the entire New Dynasty's spirit plants to no longer need to rely on those places with abundant earth qi, but could create greenhouses and plant them in similar territories, greatly increasing the yield of spirit plants.
If it weren't for the three thousand years of war, and the fact that the entire Tianyuan Mortal Realm couldn't find much good soil without evil qi and resentment, Ming Zhengde would have already called on the masses to plant spirit rice on a large scale, starting from the grassroots level to strengthen the physical fitness of all people.
Others, whether it was the Jinchi Niao (Golden Winged Bird)'s armor design, or the Wuling Kongque (Five Spirit Peacock)'s formation reform, fundamentally improved the New Dynasty's national strength.
The blessings and help of the Divine Birds supported the foundation of a newborn country like the New Dynasty.
But this time... the arrival of Zhuri, who was incomparably powerful and far more powerful than other Divine Birds, did not bring such a transformation in the first place.
It wasn't that they were disappointed – after all, blessings were good, and it was normal not to have them, but it did make everyone feel a bit regretful.
However, a few days later.
Along with the actions of the New Dynasty's Qintianjian (Directorate of Astronomy), a mysterious inheritance of cultivation methods spread in a small range in relevant circles.
Its name was... the Yin Yang Lunzhuan Bu朽 Fa (Yin Yang Rotation Imperishable Method).
At first, no one particularly cared about this cultivation method.
After all, the New Dynasty, with the power of its founding, collected the inheritances of thousands of families in the world, innovated and created many powerful inheritances.
The Five Virtues Sect's Five Great Divine Powers, the Earth Yuan Magnetism, the Tai Bai Divine Body, the Pure World Karma Fire, the Qinglin Undying, and the Boundless Heavy Water, each had its own powerful points, and each had unique techniques. Whether it was the degree of sophistication or the degree of perfection, it far exceeded the one-sided words of past families. In the past, they would have been considered the top-level divine power cultivation.
However, the Yin Yang Rotation Imperishable Method was different.
As time passed, an astonishing rumor began to spread.
That was, this cultivation method based on wood qi could actually strengthen the cultivator's natural lifespan!
Lifespan.
The basis of all cultivation.
Although the development of the New Dynasty's productivity has led to more resources being produced, so that all cultivators no longer need to fight each other for cultivation materials like in the past.
However, specifically for individuals, if there are any errors or omissions in cultivation, it is inevitable that the price must be paid with lifespan to recover those errors.
Whether it is going into qi deviation or damaged meridians, how can healing not consume vitality?
It is the confidence to make mistakes, the patience to withstand harm.
The human body is essentially a machine that can repair itself, but it has a durability value. If the damage exceeds a certain level, it will collapse on its own.
Unless, one transcends humanity and becomes a god or immortal.
With an almost eternal lifespan, one has an almost eternal price and confidence to make mistakes. Gods and immortals can experiment and try without any worries. Even if they fail time and time again, the eternal They can usher in success in the distant future.
However, it is precisely because they are eternal that they rarely encounter situations that require change and innovation.
This is actually a paradox of sorts.
In short, after further experimentation, the Rotation Imperishable Method is indeed a cultivation method that can increase lifespan, heal hidden injuries, and allow cultivators who were originally on the verge of death to be reborn.
And how much change this cultivation method can bring... how much significance it has for the New Kingdom, which has just ended its war with the Kun demons and the Zhengyang Kingdom...
This point, others cannot understand no matter how they imagine it.
New Dynasty, Kyoto, Zhuangzhi Road.
'Hongyi Building'.
The New Dynasty's Kyoto itself is also a young city, so even the Hongyi Restaurant, which appeared at the beginning of the city's construction, is not like other old cities, which can hang up a century-old or millennium-old brand. It is just an ordinary restaurant run by retired veterans.
Speaking of this veteran's life, it is actually quite legendary. He was once a chef in a well-known restaurant in Jinyezhou (Golden Field Province). Because his family property and restaurant were confiscated by the defeated Zhengyang Kingdom to be used for military expenses, he had no choice but to become a bandit.
As a result, before he had time to rob anyone, he encountered the Five Virtues Sect's army that defeated the Zhengyang Kingdom. He originally thought he was going to die, but he was eventually recruited by the New Dynasty and became a member of the New Army... He fought all the way, became a thousand households, and was eventually injured in the battle with the Kun demons, losing a foot, honorably retiring, and returning to Kyoto to use his military pay and encouragement money to open a restaurant, returning to his original profession.
This restaurant is really ordinary, and there is no popularity. Many years of war have really made the boss forget a lot of his skills, and it can only be said to be so-so. But its door can be opened on Zhuangzhi Road between the palace and the market area, which is indeed rare. Therefore, careful residents nearby observed that most of the people who entered and exited this Hongyi Building were veterans with missing limbs, and consumption was free for them, costing absolutely nothing.
These veterans all respect the boss, who only has the cultivation of the Earth rank. It is said that they were all soldiers led by the boss in the past, and even some big figures who often appear in the New Dynasty's propaganda, including real people with the title of general, and there are no few cultivators of the Heaven rank!
Today, Hongyi Building is closed, suspending business.
The restaurant, which was originally noisy and full of the voices of veterans calling out and singing, is now silent.
In the center of the hall, under the watchful eyes of a group of Heaven rank cultivators and a real person, the restaurant owner Zhang Hongyi closed his eyes and concentrated, operating his cultivation method, and his whole body was surrounded by green wood qi.
It can be seen that the white-haired veteran's beard and hair are snow-white, and his face is full of wrinkles. His body is full of various scars left by various techniques and even Kun demons, and his left leg is broken off at the root, as if it was bitten off by some beast.
Swallowing a pill, a piece of cyan-brown amber Tianjing (Celestial Crystal) in the center of his forehead flickered, and there were various earth vein spirit liquids and high-purity spirit marrow crystals around it... Zhang Hongyi has invested all of his savings accumulated over the years into it. If he doesn't succeed this time, he will die.
Anyway, he doesn't have much lifespan left to live, so he might as well give it his all!
【Take the body as the earth, the spirit as the sky, and life as the seed...】
The formula passed through his heart like water, and under the worried gaze of a group of old comrades, old superiors, and old subordinates, the restaurant owner shouted and completely gave up suppressing the various hidden injuries in his body, and fully operated the Yin Yang Rotation Imperishable Method!
Suddenly, a rotating cyan-brown meridian appeared behind him, connecting heaven and earth, operating spiritual energy, and spontaneously, under the mobilization of the power of the earth's extraction, rapidly rotating like a waterwheel!
Buzz——
Then, the wooden blood vessel roots began to spread in Zhang Hongyi's flesh, centered on the amber Tianjing on his forehead.
"It's useful!"
After a long while, suddenly opening his eyes, the white-haired veteran's expression was extremely excited, "My lifespan has increased!"
"Really, it really has increased! And the hidden injuries in my body have all been smoothed and repaired by this wooden root system, all of them have been healed!"
In an instant, the atmosphere in the restaurant changed, from serious and quiet to happy.
"Great, then hurry up and continue, old captain!"
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and cultivate, making me run all the way from Qinglinzhou (Green Forest Province) to worry about you... What are you glaring at? What if I scold you?"
"I thought it would be difficult, how come it's just like drinking soup?"
"Old captain, you're not being honest, saying it like you were saying your last words, feeling like this, just this?"
Since the most dangerous moment had passed, everyone relaxed and began to laugh and scold. Zhang Hongyi immediately darkened his face, "Shut up, you old farts, if it weren't for me covering the rear in the past and suffering hidden injuries, I might have advanced to the Heaven rank long ago, and even achieving the real person realm wouldn't be impossible!"
This immediately triggered a wave of kind laughter.
Although everyone knew it was a joke, if his lifespan was sufficient, there was indeed no problem for Zhang Hongyi to reach the Heaven rank.
After all, at the Earth rank, cultivators will usher in an essential transformation, reshaping their natural roots and aptitude.
——The Earth, is the foundation.
Earth rank cultivators need to reshape their whole body's bones and blood, recreate their five internal organs and six visceral, and even their whole body's nine orifices.
Advancing from Human rank to Earth rank is equivalent to being reborn once. From then on, you only need to cultivate diligently, and advancing to the Heaven rank is nothing more than a bit of insight into divine powers.
Of course, in the process of cultivating at the Earth rank, each reshape requires a lot of vitality and lifespan. As long as you make a mistake once, your lifespan will not be enough to advance... Therefore, in the New Dynasty, and even the entire Tianyuan World, there are always many people who are stuck at this level, unable to pass for a long time.
And lifespan... how difficult is it to increase?
But it's different now.
Boom!
Along with a slight roar, after Zhang Hongyi took all the materials he had prepared before, and once again urged the Rotation Imperishable Method to accelerate cultivation and increase lifespan, all kinds of hidden injuries and scars left over from the past were rapidly healing and regenerating.
Even his severed leg, which had already been broken, had the feeling of bones aching and flesh growing, as if it was about to be reborn again!
And in the end, after the white-haired veteran's whole body was no longer scarred, and his aura became rounded, with a jolt all over his body, golden qi overflowed throughout the building!
Opening his eyes, Zhang Hongyi's sword-like gaze directly penetrated the walls of the Hongyi Building that had been reinforced with spells, and a wisp of deep, golden light lingered in the air for a long time, as if it were substantive.
At this moment, as Zhang Hongyi's old injuries were healed, he directly took advantage of this momentum to advance to the Heaven rank!
"Great! Great!"
"Congratulations to the old captain for achieving the Heaven rank!"
"That's what should be done!"
Suddenly, in the restaurant, there was a cheer, and there were also some tears shed by those who recalled their former comrades who had passed away due to hidden injuries and lifespan problems.
But whether it was laughter or tears, this lively and noisy cheer, full of hope and joy, not only filled the Hongyi Building at this moment, but also filled every corner around Kyoto.
——Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.
However, under the lingering wood qi, the trees on the street that were beginning to turn yellow in the late autumn season sprouted buds again.
Now that the longevity flower has bloomed again, it will not be so easy to fade away this time.
Many of the warriors who accompanied the Holy Emperor to conquer the world in the past came to Kyoto after retiring.
They are alive, but they don't have the lifespan to continue cultivating and making mistakes. They want to fight, but their bodies don't allow them to continue to accompany their respected majesty to conquer.
So, they can only stay in place regretfully, and be an ordinary person, spending their days peacefully.
Not just Kyoto.
There are countless people in the entire Tianyuan Mortal Realm who are like this, stopped by the Tribulation of Longevity, and forced to stagnate by elements outside of themselves, unable to continue moving forward, let alone innovating.
This is despair, and it is also an abyss, and it is difficult to climb out of it. They can only sink.
And now, the spread of the Rotation Imperishable Method has allowed them to see an unprecedented scene.
That scene is called the future.
It is called. Hope.
And what the cultivators on the Tianyuan Continent lack most is hope for the future.
Therefore, they will give their all for this.
Kyoto, Imperial Palace.
Ming Zhengde, Cangsong, and Yan Chili stood on the Guān Xīng tái (Star Observation Platform), overlooking the entire city.
They watched all of this, and their hearts could not be calm for a long time.
Lifespan is not only the cornerstone of cultivation, but also the cornerstone of the great Dao.
Because those with short lifespans can only see the immediate things in front of them, they are short-sighted. Although it is not that everyone is like this, such people do occupy the majority.
A person who can live for two thousand years, no matter how pessimistic they are about their life plans, they will at least start with a thousand years.
And a person who can only live for less than two hundred years, it is probably difficult to make him plan a life of one hundred years.
Two thousand, two hundred. The impact of lifespan on people is so great that the huge and terrifying gap cannot be summarized by just one zero.
This is even more so for cultivators.
More lifespan means that it is a geometrically increasing 'possibility'.
Two thousand years is enough for a cultivator to break through several major barriers, and can wander the entire Tianyuan Realm to find resources. He can have the world's sentient beings in his heart, because he can really see the world's sentient beings.
And an ordinary person, his life cannot even walk out of the city or state where he lives, so naturally he cannot find many resources, let alone have the world's sentient beings in his heart – they may not even know the names of the neighbors who have lived together for more than ten years, and can only see the scenery in a corner.
Increasing lifespan increases not only a new batch of powerful cultivators who have quickly advanced because of increased lifespan, but also the strong who have returned to their peak because of a new lifespan, similar to Yan Chili.
But, the awakening of the people.
Opening people's minds, increasing lifespan, and popularizing inheritance... this is the great cause of establishing virtue among the three immortal achievements!
"Zhuri..."
Thinking this, Ming Zhengde couldn't help but feel sentimental and joyful. However, all kinds of complex emotions condensed in his heart, making him only sigh, "This kind of virtue that benefits the common people of the world – you are truly a well-deserved virtuous Divine Bird!"
In the eyes of this Holy Emperor, he could see that all around Kyoto, there was a faint wood qi lingering.
Guaranteeing his own reputation, Ming Zhengde even cultivated the Rotation Imperishable Method himself. This further dispelled the doubts of many doubters, and he could be determined to cultivate with peace of mind.
And in this way, as more and more people succeed, the cultivation of the Yin Yang Rotation Imperishable Method will become the general trend of the world – at that time, it will be a matter of course for the New Dynasty's court to make a public announcement and popularize it.
At this moment, Ming Zhengde turned his head and asked the friend on the side.
"Cangsong, how do you feel?"
His tone carried a hint of concern.
"Your Majesty, I am very well!"
And Cangsong's voice, who was full of energy, was full of energy. The young real person was now full of energy in his words, "Originally, continuous work, processing government affairs, as well as cultivation and maintaining the great formation, was indeed very tiring."
"And now, I feel much better – if I originally needed to rest after working continuously for thirty days, then now I feel that I don't need to rest at all!"
Hearing this, even Ming Zhengde couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and then, not knowing whether to be sad or laugh, he could only helplessly say, "That's not necessary... you should still rest more, there's no need to be so busy."
As for whether Yan Chili is good or not... Ming Zhengde felt that there was obviously no need to ask.
Some time ago, when the Divine Birds of various races took advantage of the fact that Su Zhou had attracted the attention of many gods and demons to secretly meet in the underground veins, the youthful contemporary Suzaku shocked the eyes of a kind of Divine Bird while fully exercising that youthful body. In the hearty laughter, many old and decayed Divine Birds were beaten to crawl all over the ground, and then they gave Amber Celestial Crystals and cultivation methods.
In a sense, all the Divine Birds really regained their youth – it's just that the methods of youth are different.
This kind of bad personality is really different from the steady and reliable Suzaku in Ming Zhengde's memory. The Holy Emperor, who encountered this kind of Suzaku for the first time, also felt quite shocked, to the point that his three views were a little shattered.
But this kind of new, unknown scene that made him, who had been reborn 30,000 times, perceive 'hope', it wouldn't matter if he was more shocked if he could see more of it.
"The Kyoto experiment is very good, and next, it should be spread to the ten provinces – with the strength of the Five Virtues Sect and the New Dynasty's court, it can soon be directly popularized to the grassroots level."
Taking his thoughts back from his emotions, Ming Zhengde began to think about the matters of the next action, "Nan Zhengkai... has been killed, and the Qingxiao Zhengyang Ruler (Azure Sky Righteous Sun Ruler) has also been obtained by Han Shiling."
"Alas, Shiling must not have thought that he would become the new speaker of Zhengyang Kingdom while diving as a hidden agent..."
Thinking of this, Ming Zhengde couldn't help but sigh softly. He turned his head and said to Cangsong on the side, "At this moment, Zhengyang Kingdom must be panicked. It's time to use our methods and send people to take over."
"No problem, Your Majesty."
Cangsong agreed without hesitation. At this moment, he was really full of energy, and immediately turned to contact
On the other side, Yan Chili frowned slightly. The tall, red-haired beauty flapped her wings and said with some puzzlement, "Zhengde kid, is it necessary?"
"Zhengyang Kingdom has lost Nan Zhengkai and the Qingxiao Zhengyang Ruler, and is no longer worth worrying about. Why bother to occupy that place? Didn't you say that the Demon Army will arrive in the future, and you need to concentrate your strength in the north?"
"Sharpening the knife does not delay the work of chopping wood."
Ming Zhengde replied calmly. He raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance.
There, there seemed to be some light spots, flashing and approaching rapidly.
