Chapter 1050 A trivial trick
Wei Yuan stood on the banks of the Ning River, looking at Prince Ji, who stood not far away, bewildered and lost. Wei Yuan did not recognize Prince Ji, but he recognized the color of the robes he wore.

At this moment, King Ji seemed unable to see the surrounding images, nor could he see Wei Yuan, who was standing right next to him. Wei Yuan, meanwhile, seemed lost in thought, knowing that no one else could see King Ji except himself.

Amidst the bustling world, the Yellow Springs Grotto-Heaven was faintly glowing, continuously transmitting its power to Wei Yuan. If someone possessed the All-Seeing Eye at this moment, they would see a pair of eyes faintly opening above Wei Yuan's head, with turbid, unfathomable waters churning within them.

Through those eyes, Wei Yuan saw Prince Ji.

Wei Yuan walked over and reached out to touch him, but his fingers passed right through Prince Ji and he didn't touch anything.

Wei Yuan frowned slightly, and a glint of sword light appeared at his fingertips. This glint of sword light had taken another small step towards the beginning of a sword strike. Although it was still quite far from the true beginning of a sword strike, and far inferior to Zhang Sheng's Sword Tomb of the World, it was already only a step away from the Buddha Sword. With just the sword intent, it was enough to fight it head-on without being defeated.

Sword intent is just one of Wei Yuan's methods.

The sword light shone, but Prince Ji remained unmoved, as if listening to something. Wei Yuan frowned, his fingertips shifting again, transforming into a single flame from a Buddhist lamp, illuminating an area of ​​three feet in radius, but still unable to reach Prince Ji.

Wei Yuan circled Prince Ji several times, pondering, and then a ball of moonlight shone from his fingertip, but still came to no avail.

For the next full quarter of an hour, Wei Yuan would sometimes gaze at the sky in thought, sometimes circle around Prince Ji, and sometimes squat on Prince Ji's head in deep contemplation, but no matter what he tried, he got no results.

Finally, King Ji's figure vanished, and even using the power of the Yellow Springs Cave again, nothing could be seen. Wei Yuan's understanding was now vastly different from before; he knew that although King Ji appeared to be here, he was actually in another dimension.

Wei Yuan himself didn't know why he could see Prince Ji. Perhaps it was because he was standing in the dimension of the Yellow Springs Power, and the alternation just happened to occur.

Although King Ji's appearance was brief, Wei Yuan's repeated use of the power of the Six Heavenly Caves to probe had completely exhausted his vast divine sense. In his exhaustion, the different powers of the six caves suddenly converged amidst the bustling world, igniting the fifty million units of human fortune Wei Yuan had just accumulated, illuminating a glimpse of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!
With just a fleeting glimpse, Wei Yuan suddenly let out a muffled groan, and everything went black before his eyes. The entire prosperous world instantly entered a harsh winter, and the heavy rain turned into a sky full of snow!

A massive influx of information flooded into the bustling world, instantly clearing out all the primordial energy of heaven and earth accumulated in the sea of ​​consciousness, which was barely enough to withstand it.

Wei Yuan was curled up on the ground. Even with his powerful physical body at this moment, he was bleeding from his mouth and nose, convulsing all over, and unable to move for a while! After a long time, he finally spat out a mouthful of blood and regained some mobility.

Wei Yuan was also shocked. Looking directly at the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth was terrifying; he had almost been sent directly to reincarnation. If Zhang Sheng's luck didn't reach thirty million, he would have to find his reincarnation again.

The influx of Dao information far exceeded the upper limit of the prosperity of all realms. This was only possible because it was Wei Yuan. Otherwise, let alone a newly promoted Imperial Realm cultivator like Chu He, even a high-level cultivator like Zhi Dan or Zhu Yuanjin would have instantly exploded and died!
Wei Yuan then felt a little scared, but everything happened naturally, it was a matter of chance, so there was no use in being scared.

He slowly propped himself up to sit up and examined his sea of ​​consciousness, only to discover a new symbol with an extremely complex structure, containing hundreds of layers inside and out. Wei Yuan's divine sense touched this symbol, and he naturally knew its origin and usage.

Using the power of the Six Heavenly Caves as a guide and the fortune of fifty million people as a foundation, Wei Yuan finally obtained his first divine ability after mastering the Imperial Realm. However, this divine ability was directly imprinted from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and seemed... comparable to immortal techniques?
This technique doesn't seem very powerful; it's called the Eye of the Six Realms.

With this eye open, anything related to the six powers of the Sun and Moon, the Yellow Springs, the Pure Land, the Sword Dao, and the Thick Earth will find it difficult to hide from Wei Yuan. Any arrays or restrictions using these powers will be easier to break under the Eye of the Six Realms, and the difficulty will drop to a new level.

Wei Yuan felt that this method wasn't particularly powerful. If he could combine the power of the Six Realms and mix in some luck, then throw it out to hit people, that would be amazing. Moreover, the Eye of the Six Realms consumed a huge amount of energy; even with Wei Yuan's vast Dao power, he could only activate it twice. After using it twice, Wei Yuan would be completely exhausted and become a dead fish.

Wei Yuan found the Eye of the Six Realms rather difficult to understand. It seemed he would have to find an opportunity to use it later to see what the differences were when using it.

Based on his intuition, Wei Yuan felt that this spell was a celestial technique, though it didn't seem very powerful. As a Yujing...

Thinking of Yu Jing, Wei Yuan was suddenly startled. He quickly checked the prosperity of the various realms and found that the Heavenly Demon was still there. He breathed a sigh of relief and continued to think: As a Dharma Aspect, to be able to possess one's own immortal technique should be unprecedented and unparalleled, right?
Upon reflection, his Daoist mind indeed became clear.

With his Dao heart now clear, his thoughts naturally became much clearer. Wei Yuan paced around a few times, realizing that he now carried the fortunes of millions, his movements like a giant whale swimming in a river, every action stirring up the surrounding karma. Therefore, the appearance of Prince Ji here was no accident. Even if it was a cross-realm manifestation, it must be related to this place, otherwise he wouldn't have seen it.

To put it bluntly, Wei Yuan is now of paramount importance to the fate of this region. Any strange occurrences around him must have a cause, and are solely related to Wei Yuan. Ordinary people can no longer shake Wei Yuan's causal influence.

After a moment's thought, Wei Yuan devised a plan. He summoned hundreds of elite iron cavalry, bringing hundreds of thousands of kilograms of explosives, and set up an explosive trap where Prince Ji stood. With the power of the latest spirit wood gunpowder, this explosive was enough to blow up the city walls and severely damage Yu Jing. Even a True Immortal would be utterly humiliated. Since Prince Ji was here, it meant this place was likely an important juncture, though Wei Yuan was unaware of its purpose. Therefore, it was highly likely that an important figure from their side would be present. Whatever their plans, Wei Yuan intended to give them a surprise.

After setting the traps, the officers restored the ground to its original state, a testament to the highly professional training at the Qingming Military Academy. Finally, Wei Yuan left behind dozens of pixelated soldiers specifically to detonate them.

Each of these Dao soldiers has different attributes, and if they remain still, they can last for months. And if even one Dao soldier is not destroyed, all the explosives will detonate.

Wei Yuan was quite satisfied with this trap that combined Taoist magic and technology. He finally left and led his troops to continue north along the Ning River, blocking the main force of the rebels from crossing the river.

The main force of the rebels could not cross the river, and with the army of the State of Ji chasing from behind, they were unable to massacre the city.

The most effective identity for massacring a city is that of a rebel. If the government troops were to massacre a city, the throne of Prince Ji would be in jeopardy.

Therefore, the best way for Wei Yuan to protect his people was to cripple the rebel army. Although taking action at this moment was not Wei Yuan's original intention, things in this world rarely go as planned. Since he had already started fighting, Wei Yuan had no intention of leaving the rebel army any way out. From then on, the rebel army could only be surnamed Li.

……

In the Ji King's palace, Cangwu and the Ji King reappeared in the imperial study. Cangwu remained silent, directly opening a map and gazing at it for a moment. This map was also a celestial artifact, with several differently colored dots slowly moving across it. Each dot represented a different army, including both rebel and government troops. Among them was a scarlet dot, which represented the Great Wilderness Spear Saint.

The Great Wilderness Spear Saint has a mysterious background; even Cangwu couldn't figure out his origins. Although Cangwu isn't known for divination, his status as an immortal speaks volumes about his inability to divine.

Cangwu looked at the map for a while, then reached out to Prince Ji and said, "Give me the military tally."

Prince Ji's lips twitched slightly. He asked, "What do you need the military tally for?"

"Give it to me!" Cangwu said sternly.

King Ji remained unmoved.

Cangwu suddenly turned his head, his eyes bloodshot, and stared at Prince Ji!

Prince Ji calmly replied, "Immortal, have some dignity."

Cangwu's eyes flashed with murderous intent several times, but he forcibly suppressed it each time. He shoved Prince Ji to the ground, snatched the military tally, and vanished instantly.

Prince Ji lay there for a long time before finally struggling to get up. He reached up and wiped his mouth, finding his hand covered in blood. But then he suddenly burst into laughter, a truly joyful laugh. Although this battle was insignificant, he had ultimately won.

……

Cangwu's figure appeared on the bank of Ningshui River. He looked around and let out a cold laugh, saying, "A mere trick!"

With a casual wave of his hand, he instantly obliterated dozens of Dao soldiers. However, three faint lights still shone!

Cangwu only managed to utter half a curse before being engulfed by a deafening explosion, with mudslides shooting hundreds of feet into the sky!

In the Imperial Study, Prince Ji was looking for a towel to wipe the blood when he saw Cangwu reappear in the room, but his clothes were tattered, his face was charred, and a small patch of his eyebrow was missing.
