Rebirth of the Totem Pole, I became a taboo

"The king."

Xia Wanrong stood up and saluted Xia Chengtian.

Xia Chengtian nodded and looked at Mingli, who was somewhat dissatisfied because Xia Wanrong stood up.

"You go out for a moment."

"Yes."

Xia Wanrong placed the Mingli on the table beside her, stroked it gently, and then walked out of the garden.

After Xia Wanrong left completely, Xia Chengtian looked at Mingli who was lying on the table and sunbathing his belly.

"Mingli, the ancestor wants to see you."

Upon hearing this, Mingli glanced at Xia Chengtian.

"What does Xia Longhu want from me?"

"It's the ancestor."

Xia Chengtian looked at Mingli and corrected the other party's way of calling him.

"When the master was alive, I saw Xia Longhu peeing."

"..."

The corner of Xia Chengtian's eye twitched. If it were in the past, he would have corrected Mingli, but this time he did not argue with Mingli.

"The ancestor asked me to take you to see Him."

"what's up?"

"You'll know when you go there."

Mingli turned over from the table, squatted and looked at Xia Chengtian.

Helplessly, Xia Chengtian explained: "Regarding the matter of the barbarians who destroyed Da Yan during this period, the last time you were away, the ancestor was injured by one of them..."

"Barbarians? When did they become so powerful?"

"I don't know."

Xia Chengtian shook his head.

"Let's go then."

Mingli jumped onto Xia Chengtian's shoulder, and Xia Chengtian's figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

Outside the garden, Xia Wanrong, who was originally waiting for Xia Chengtian to leave so that she could continue playing with her for a while, suddenly sensed that the aura in the garden had disappeared.

"Is there something wrong?"

Xia Wanrong was puzzled, but she didn't worry too much about it.

Xia Chengtian usually doesn't look for Mingli, but if he does, there is a high probability that something is wrong.

Xia Wanrong and Mingli have been playing together almost since childhood, so she knows all these things.

"We'll just have to wait until next time."

Xia Wanrong also left the garden.

……

Underground imperial tomb.

After Mingli and Xia Chengtian came underground, they saw the ten-foot-tall white tiger curled up in front of Xia Longhu.

"You're back."

When Baihu saw Mingli, he greeted him in a muffled voice.

"Last time the barbarians attacked, you failed to save a few?"

Mingli jumped in front of the white tiger and asked.

"The opponent is very strong. I am no match for him."

Baihu shook his head.

"Oh, it seems to be very strong."

Although the White Tiger exudes a murderous aura all the time, after becoming a divine being, it does not become bloodthirsty in character. This is a rather peculiar thing.

Generally speaking, the formation of acquired supernatural powers is related to the ontology.

The White Tiger Seal was originally a token of control over the army in the hands of the founding monarch. It had experienced many battles. It should have been a vicious creature after becoming a god, but in fact, the White Tiger was a bit dull.

This is Mingli’s evaluation of Baihu.

After looking at the white tiger, Mingli turned his gaze to Xia Longhu.

"You called us all here. Is there something going on?"

As Mingli spoke, he jumped onto the back of the king's chair where Xia Longhu was sitting cross-legged, and began to walk around the back of the chair like a cat.

Xia Chengtian frowned as he watched this scene, but Xia Longhu didn't care.

"Mingli, there is a Dao-touching realm in the wilderness."

After these words came out, Mingli paused.

Turning his head, he looked at Xia Longhu.

"Is it a being at the same level as the master?"

"Yes... I am in the same realm as my father."

Xia Longhu nodded.

Mingli jumped up and landed on the ground in front of Xia Longhu.

"So why did you call us here? I can't beat anyone in the Dao Touching Realm."

White Tiger, who was standing by, heard what Mingli said and suddenly asked, "The Dao Touching Realm? Wasn't the last barbarian who came here at the Dao Touching Realm?"

Baihu's strength is roughly at the peak of the Demon King realm. The only being he has come into contact with who is at a higher realm than him is Xia Chengtian, a warrior at the Guiyi realm who is comparable to the Demon Saint realm.

In Baihu's impression, the barbarian who had previously injured Xia Chengtian, Xia Longhu's clone and him should be at the Touching Dao realm.

But now, He was confused.

"That barbarian's strength is still at the level of Guiyi Realm, and should be at the peak of Guiyi Realm."

Xia Chengtian explained.

"As for the Touching Dao Realm, it is not at the same level as the Returning to One Realm. If the barbarian last time was at the Touching Dao Realm, we wouldn't have been injured."

"If you are below the Dao Touching Realm and encounter an enemy at the Dao Touching Realm, you will die without a single chance of survival."

The white tiger's pupils shrank. If that was the case, didn't it mean that there was a being in the wilderness that could destroy the human kingdom at any time?

Baihu's question made the atmosphere on the scene a little tense, but Mingli didn't react much.

The state of touching the Tao already exists and will not disappear because of His anxiety.

In this case, it is better to pretend you don’t know.

When Xia Longhu saw Mingli's look, he knew what He was thinking.

After all, he had seen both the living Mingli and the Mingli that became a god after death.

"I called you here this time so that we in Da Xia won't be helpless when facing the Dao Touching Realm."

Ming Li said lazily: "Even if we add up, we are no match for the Touch Dao Realm. Unless we find a helper from the Touch Dao Realm, it will be impossible."

As a being who had come into contact with the Touching Dao Realm, Mingli naturally knew how powerful the Touching Dao Realm was. Hearing what Xia Longhu said, he was somewhat indifferent.

Baihu’s idea is different from Mingli’s.

"If you need me to do anything, just let me know. As long as it is related to protecting Daxia, it is my job."

Xia Longhu smiled when he heard this.

"I really need your help."

Xia Longhu's gaze shifted away from the white tiger and fell on the Mingli.

He wasn't worried about Baihu's loyalty, but he was worried about Mingli.

Mingli is protecting Daxia, not Xia Longhu.

If it was his father who made the request for refining, he believed that Mingli would not have any other ideas.

But if it was him, Xia Longhu, it would be hard to say.

If this method didn't require willingness, Xia Longhu wouldn't have said so much.

Looking at Mingli, He spoke.

"I have a method that can help me break through the Dao Touching Realm, but the price is... the White Tiger Seal and the Dark Raccoon Seal."

After these words were spoken, even Baihu was stunned, let alone Mingli.

"What do you mean?"

Mingli stared at Xia Longhu and paced back and forth.

"Originally, I wanted to collect the incense power of Da Xia to break through to the Touching Dao Realm, but now time does not allow me to continue accumulating incense."

"In order to prevent the possible crisis of national destruction, there is only one way, and that is for me to break through to the Touching Dao Realm."

"To achieve this, I need to refine the White Tiger Seal and the Dark Raccoon Seal, obtain the two strands of Dao essence contained therein, and use them to build my Dao foundation and enter the Dao Touching Realm."

Xia Longhu did not hide anything and told the whole story.

Upon hearing this, Mingli said nothing and just stared at Xia Longhu.

After a moment of silence, Baihu asked, "Does refining the White Tiger Seal mean that I will cease to exist?"

Xia Longhu looked at Baihu and said, "I can't guarantee whether you can survive. If everything goes well, after using Dao Essence to build the Dao Foundation, I can differentiate Dao Essence again, which is equivalent to returning your things to you, but it will definitely not be all of them."

"So, after this incident, there's a chance that you will cease to exist."

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere became quiet again.

Xia Longhu had already thought about this situation.

"In this matter, the choice is yours. If you disagree, I won't force you."

As soon as Xia Longhu said this, Baihu spoke.

"This is for the survival of Da Xia. It is my duty. I am willing to help you."

After Baihu finished speaking, he looked at Mingli together with Xia Chengtian and Xia Longhu.

Ming Li did not answer the question directly, but asked: "Is there no other way?"

When Mingli said this, he suddenly thought of the guy who had trapped him in the corner before.

But obviously, He was just thinking about it.

No matter how powerful Chen Yao is, he is still a long way from reaching the Dao Touching Realm.

Besides, why would Chen Yao help Da Xia?

"The divination space is repairing very slowly. It will probably take three years before large-scale divination can be carried out."

What Xia Chengtian meant by this sentence was to tell Mingli that there was no other way at the moment.

Mingli was silent.

"This method was taught to me by my father."

Xia Longhu's words made Mingli look up suddenly.

"Did the master teach you?"

Xia Longhu nodded.

"I don't know if my father foresaw the crisis, but this method was indeed left by him."

Mingli was silent.

If this method was left by the master, it means that the existence of Mingli and Baihu was originally prepared for Xia Longhu.

It’s just that Xia Longhu has never used it.

"Since it is arranged by the master, then let it be."

Seeing Mingli agreed, Xia Longhu nodded.

"Well, thank you both. If you enter the Dao Touching Realm, I will find a way to revive you two."

After he finished speaking, the area under Xia Longhu's chair began to light up, and circles of patterns spread out from under his seat, and in the blink of an eye, they covered the entire hall.

"Chengtian, go out and wait."

"Yes!"

After Xia Chengtian left, Xia Longhu pointed at two pillars in the hall.

"You two, please fall onto those two pillars with your true form."

After Xia Longhu finished speaking, the white tiger leaped towards the pillar and turned into a large white jade seal when it landed.

Mingli didn't hesitate. Since he had already agreed, there was nothing more to say.

"It's a pity. I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to see Xia Wanrong again."

As Mingli was thinking this, he had already transformed into a black seal and landed steadily on the pillar.

Seeing the White Tiger Seal and the Nether Fox Seal in place, Xia Longhu's face showed a hint of excitement.

Although He deceived Mingli, He had no choice.

If He had not entered the realm of touching the Dao, the Great Xia founded by His father would have been lost in history.

In this way, it makes no difference whether this formation was developed by him or by his father.

"rise!"

Xia Longhu let out a low roar, and the incense power that had been accumulated in his body over the years surged out. After being transformed through the patterns on the two pillars, it turned into two flames and began to burn the two seals.

As the flames rose, Xia Longhu breathed a sigh of relief.

This formation was the result of his studying the Great Xia collection for many years, and even exchanging some information with several other major countries.

This formation of his has no other effect and can only transform the power of incense into a flame.

This kind of flame has no name, but Xia Longhu gave it a name from his collection.

Totem fire!

In ancient times, there were gods in charge of totems.

At that time, there were not as many gods as there are today, there was only one God.

Lord of Totems!

In addition to giving power to totems, the Totem Lord also has another ability: fire!

No matter what kind of existence it is, it will be burned to nothingness under that kind of flame.

It is naturally impossible for Xia Longhu to really create the fire of the Totem Lord. If he really did, then Mingli and Baihu would probably not be refined into the Dao Essence, but would be directly reduced to ashes.

The totem fire he created can cause subtle harm to the divine body, remove the dross and retain the essence, and refine the Tao essence that appeared in the divine body at birth.

With that trace of Taoism, Xia Longhu can use it to try to break through.

For this purpose, the magical powers of at least ten cities in Daxia have been used as experimental materials by Him.

The conclusion is that if the level of the supernatural power is not high enough, the Taoist essence that has been refined cannot be retained at all.

Otherwise, Xia Longhu would not have done this at the cost of losing two major fighting forces of Da Xia.

Xia Longhu murmured as he watched the two seals sinking and floating in the flames.

"It won't take too long. This time, it will definitely succeed."

After all, Xia Longhu was still gambling, betting that the Dao essence refined by Mingli and Baihu would remain!

……

Five days later.

Xia Wanrong is analyzing the information sent by various evil-suppression offices in the Evil-Suppression Office.

Click!

A slight sound brought Xia Wanrong back to her senses.

Confused, Xia Rong Wanrong looked towards the direction where the voice came from, and then her face changed drastically.

Xia Wanrong suddenly grabbed the token of the Evil Suppression Bureau in her hand. Looking at the crack that was big enough to split the token in two, she felt a bad premonition in her heart.

Even when Mingli was captured by the four-armed demon last time, the Commander-in-Chief of Suppressing Evil did not react so strongly.

Why did it crack this time?
Thinking of Mingli, whom she hadn't seen for five days, Xia Wanrong stood up and headed towards the king's palace.

But she stopped before she had taken a few steps.

After a while, her men broke into her office.

"Boss, this is bad. The token is broken. All the tokens I've seen in the company are broken!"

As soon as the visitor finished speaking, Xia Wanrong disappeared.

The king's palace.

Xia Wanrong went straight to Xia Chengtian's residence.

Even if someone stopped her on the road, she would not stop.

As the daughter of the king and the chief of the Evil Suppression Bureau, the guards could only follow behind.

After a while, Xia Wanrong saw Xia Chengtian drinking tea in the pavilion in the garden.

"Lord, I have something to report."

"Well, come on."

Xia Chengtian waved his hand and asked the guards to leave.

"Lord, the tokens of all the people in the Evil Suppression Division are cracked. Is Mingli in trouble?"

Xia Chengtian looked at the token that Xia Wanrong handed over, nodded and said, "I understand."

"Lord, where is Mingli?"

Xia Wanrong looked at Xia Chengtian, who seemed to have expected this, and felt more and more uneasy.

"You don't need to worry about this anymore, go down."

Xia Chengtian glanced at Xia Wanrong and said lightly.

Xia Wanrong already had a guess in her mind, but she didn't want to admit it.

Looking at Xia Chengtian, Xia Wanrong asked one last question.

"Father, where is Mingli?"

Xia Chengtian put down the teacup and looked at Xia Wanrong.

"From now on, don't mention Mingli anymore."

"Mingli has found another way to protect Daxia."
