Loan Wusheng

Several days later, above the raging waves of the East China Sea, Zheng Jun's five fingers, like hooks, gripped the fragment of a bronze compass image.

The soul of True Lord Fulong twisted and struggled in the purple aura, and the Dao patterns formed by his golden blood were being crushed inch by inch by the phantom of the Nine Cauldrons.

After several days of suppression, Zheng Jun was relatively relaxed, having completely destroyed Fulong Zhenjun's physical body and imprisoned his soul.

The reason why Zheng Jun imprisoned his soul in this way is quite simple.

As long as True Lord Fulong is not completely annihilated, the 'Stealing Heavenly Secrets' Dharma form will not be fully released, thus buying Zheng Jun time.

after all……

He hasn't finished repaying the debt to the Lord of the World.

Faced with the challenge of 'stealing the secrets of heaven,' Zheng Jun was willing but unable to do so.

Therefore, Zheng Jun imprisoned the soul of Fulong Zhenjun in Fangcun Mountain, intending to kill him after he had repaid the debt to the 'Lord of the World' Dharma Image.

Therefore, this action will allow True Lord Fulong to live for a longer period of time.

But it will only last for a short period of time.

Zheng Jun is now invincible.

It's not difficult to repay the debts of the 'Lord of the World' Dharma Image. Now, the only thing to consider is what methods the remaining five 'rats in the gutter' will use.

The soul of Fulong Zhenjun, which was suppressed by Zheng Jun within the Purple Emperor Qi, had completely lost the desire to resist.

How to resist?

The four Luo Tian Realm Emperors, whom he regarded as his trump cards, had no choice but to retreat due to the strength of Emperor Zheng Jun of Han. What could he do?
Instead of hoping others will come to your rescue, you should first see what Emperor Zheng Jun of Han really wants to do.

Fulong Zhenjun had not expected that Zheng Jun would not kill him but instead imprison him, which was something he had not anticipated.

Logically speaking, if Emperor Zheng Jun of Han truly intended to seize his "Stealing Heaven's Secrets" Dharma Image, he should have killed him immediately to free up the Dharma Image, thus enabling him to plot against him.

But now, they're not killing him, they're just suppressing him.

This left True Lord Fulong somewhat puzzled.

He boasted that he was the best old silver coin in the world and loved to scheme against people. That was how he stole the fortune of the East Sea Dragon Clan and was able to attain the Dao.

But now Zheng Jun's actions are something he really can't understand.

I have no idea what I'm doing.

It felt like that mad emperor in the Luo Tian Realm, who was corrupted by something strange and became unpredictable and insane. He acted entirely on a whim, slapping anyone he didn't like.

Upon realizing this, True Lord Fulong could no longer contain himself and immediately said helplessly, "Emperor Han, what exactly do you intend to do? If you have any requests, I, Song, will certainly cooperate fully. Why do such a thing?"

Seeing this, Zheng Jun couldn't help but laugh and say, "Just stay put and don't move. You're already helping me."

Having said that, Zheng Jun flicked his sleeve, taking the Fulong True Lord into his sleeve, and then his eyes flashed with a cold light as he swept across the void.

Zheng Jun could clearly sense that five divine senses at the Dharma Aspect level were peering into this place from different directions, and several auras at the Half-Step Dharma Aspect level were also faintly visible, peering into this place as well.

"Ah."

A cold laugh exploded like thunder, and Zheng Jun's body suddenly burst forth with a dazzling purple light.

The phantom images of the nine cauldrons crashed down from the sky, and the sound waves from the collision of the cauldron handles tore the clouds within a radius of a thousand miles to shreds!

Those probing divine thoughts were struck as if by lightning, instantly shrinking back by more than half.

"Have you seen enough?"

Zheng Jun walked across the waves with his hands behind his back, each step causing the sea surface to dent three zhang deep: "If any fellow Daoist has not had enough, you are welcome to come to the East Sea for a battle. I will be waiting for your arrival!"

The voice carried the power of the twelve continents' ley lines, creating visible ripples in the void.

The five divine thoughts of the Dharma form immediately receded like a tide, no longer peeking.

They had no desire to fight Zheng Jun.

After all, the True Lord Fulong prided himself on being the best 'chess player' in the world, yet he was able to do something as foolish as fleeing by taking the earth's veins with him.

Now that he has angered the will of heaven and earth, the suppression of Zheng Jun has been slightly reduced, and all authority over the East Sea has been handed over to Zheng Jun. He deserves to be suppressed by Zheng Jun.

Now that Emperor Zheng Jun of Han is in the East Sea, it is as if he is in the Central Plains. He can continuously draw upon the earth's energy. Why should the five of them bother to confront Emperor Zheng Jun of Han?

You must know that the 'Lord of the World' is undoubtedly the number one in the world!

If we were to say who among the five could fight the 'Lord of the World', perhaps only the World Honored One of the Far West and the Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace of the North Sea could.

Even the Great Sage Burning Heaven of the Southern Demon Court was no match for him outside the Demon Court.

The Western World-Honored One has already lived through three lifetimes; who knows what he might have up his sleeve?

The Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace in Beihai is shrouded in mystery and rarely reveals himself to others; perhaps he possesses some deadly tricks.

Indeed, the two Dharma forms capable of fighting Zheng Jun were merely speculation among the people, as one had lived through three lifetimes and the other had never made a move. As the saying goes, the most mysterious are often the strongest...

With Zheng Jun's cold snort, those few Yuan Dan peak martial artists who were half-step Dharma Aspects also suffered a considerable impact.

On a remote island in the South China Sea, hundreds of miles away, an old man in a straw raincoat who was fishing suddenly screamed as his bamboo fishing rod exploded into dust.

"what!"

The turtle fisherman staggered backward, clutching his bleeding eyes.

The 'Sky-Gazing Face' magic treasure, which had been nurtured for a hundred years in his sea of ​​consciousness, was now being scorched red by the purple aura.

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

Ignoring the pain, the turtle fisherman knelt on the reef and kowtowed, saying, "I was momentarily bewitched, and I dare not offend Your Majesty again!"

After begging for mercy for a while, seeing that Zheng Jun did not pursue the matter further, the turtle fisherman breathed a sigh of relief, though he felt a lingering fear in his heart.

He was just watching the fun, but he never expected to almost suffer collateral damage.

Number one in the world, terrifyingly so!

If nothing unexpected happens, the other half-step Dharma Aspect cultivators who were eyeing the spotlight also suffered backlash injuries to varying degrees. Emperor Zheng Ke of Han is truly domineering, not even allowing anyone to watch the show.

After a moment of sighing, the turtle fisherman immediately stood up and transformed into a white streak of light, heading towards an island in the South China Sea.

He planned to mobilize all the naval forces in the South China Sea, to land from the south under the banner of the "Han Army," and to launch a pincer attack on the Xiao Liang dynasty for the Han dynasty.

The turtle fisherman is now at the peak of the Yuan Dan realm. If he wants to advance further, he will need the tacit approval of at least two Dharma Aspects.

Now that the Lord of the World is invincible, if the Han Emperor were to vouch for him, his breakthrough would be extremely smooth. Therefore, the Turtle Fisherman made a decision.

He wants to take the South China Sea and join the Great Han, then give the South China Sea to Zheng Jun!

In this way, one can gain an opportunity to seek the truth.

I hope it will be successful.

……

Above the East Sea, Zheng Jun, who had dismissed the 'wise men', did not pursue them. Instead, he transformed into a streak of purple-gold light and flew towards the Taiji Palace.

The reason is simple: I have to go back.

To prevent the villains of Xiao Liang from taking advantage of his absence to launch a sneak attack on the army and cause a major defeat.

Of course, Zheng Jun did not think the Han army would lose.

After all, under the pressure of his 'Lord of the World' Dharma form, many Yuan Dan Martial Saints have come to submit. Zheng Jun already has no less than ten Yuan Dan Martial Saints in the Southern Expeditionary Army. With such a number, if they were to be defeated, it could only mean that someone was throwing the game.

but……

Zheng Jun had already vaguely sensed that the will of heaven and earth was suppressing him again, and he also sensed that the will of heaven and earth wanted to take back the East Sea ley lines.

"Oh, you meat bun... cough cough, you want to take back what's in my hands? Dream on!"

Zheng Junli completely ignored the idea of ​​the will of heaven and earth.

Whether you return it or not, you will still suppress me.

Why should I return it? In this way, I can expand my strength to the East China Sea. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

This is a scheme orchestrated by True Lord Fulong to trap Heaven and get him into a trap.

However, Zheng Jun arrived at Taiji Palace in a short while.

For someone in the Dharma Aspect Realm, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers is indeed not difficult; they can travel from the East China Sea back to the mainland in just a few moments, which is quite remarkable.

Upon returning to Taiji Palace, Zheng Jun sat upright atop the Nine Heavens.

The other officials of the Han court had no idea that Zheng Jun had been away for several days. After all, the battle in the East Sea, even the Great Battle of the Dharma Ministers, could hardly affect this place.

Only those who are also Dharma Forms, as well as some half-step Dharma Forms who are currently undergoing Dharma Form rituals, can sense the changes between heaven and earth.

Upon returning to Taiji Palace, Zheng Jun immediately got into the zone and asked, "Where is the Imperial Observatory? How is the preparation of the 'Purple Star Emperor's Heart Pill' going?"

Zheng Jun's voice transmission had already reached Hui Yue's ears, and upon hearing this, Hui Yue immediately accepted the order and transformed into a beam of light, rushing towards the military camp.

After all, Zheng Jun couldn't leave the 'Purple Emperor's Heart Pill' in the capital; he had to carry it with him at all times.

Therefore, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau personnel also accompanied the army to refine it.

In the capital, only the Ministry of Works was supervising the construction of the Altar of the God of Soil and Grain.

The Altar of the God of Soil and Grain is simple, and if someone damages it, it will be easily detected.

If someone were to secretly tamper with the 'Purple Emperor Heart Pill,' it would be difficult for Zheng Jun to detect it unless he was right in front of him.

"Your subject, Cheng Zhao, offers his congratulations, Your Majesty!"

The old supervisor of the Imperial Observatory knelt on the cloud-patterned gold bricks, holding up the jade box, his voice booming: "The Purple Emperor's Heart Pill was successfully completed yesterday at 3:45 PM, with a total of nine pills obtained, all possessing the appearance of seven exquisite orifices!"

Upon hearing the news of the incident at 3:45 PM yesterday, Zheng Jun couldn't help but chuckle.

This was the moment when the will of Heaven relaxed its suppression on me.

This True Lord Fulong has indeed been a great help.

Zheng Jun nodded slightly, and then the jade box was opened.

The moment the jade box was opened, starlight burst forth.

Nine pills, each the size of a longan, swirl in mid-air, each with a natural Big Dipper pattern on its surface, their halos reflecting nine layers of rosy light in the morning glow.

The strangest thing is that there is a faint purple aura moving inside the pill, which upon closer inspection turns out to be a miniature dragon-shaped earth vein!
This elixir is used to aid in the cultivation of 'Ziwei Emperor Qi', which is why it is one of the prerequisites for the condensation of the 'Lord of the World' Dharma Image.

However, the 'Great Dao Martial Book' was extremely domineering, directly granting him the 'Lord of the World' Dharma Image in advance, which came with the Purple Star Emperor Qi.

Therefore, this elixir was actually of little use to Zheng Jun.

However, this step was part of the repayment process, so Zheng Jun had no choice but to swallow it.

Without hesitation, Zheng Jun swallowed all nine of the rare-looking pills, as if they were candy.

Then, in an instant, it was assimilated by the Purple Emperor Qi within his body, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

[Take 'Ziwei Emperor's Heart Pill': 1/1.]

Complete one task.

Zheng Jun let out a breath, then casually waved his hand, signaling the Director of the Imperial Observatory to leave.

Cheng Zhao, the director of the Imperial Observatory, was dumbfounded.

As the Director of the Imperial Observatory, he naturally understood what the 'Purple Star Emperor's Heart Pill' was for, but he never expected that his emperor would swallow the pill so easily, without showing any signs of refining it.

It's like...

It's just like eating pastries.

This was truly unbelievable to Cheng Zhao.

"Is there anything else, sir?"

Seeing that Cheng Zhao was slow to come down, Zheng Jun chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhao quickly bowed and took his leave.

He already understands.

Our own emperor is very different from those of previous dynasties!

It seems that this Han Dynasty is far superior to the previous dynasty.

After Cheng Zhao left, Zheng Jun yawned again and said to Hui Yue, "Go to the treasure vault and find some refining materials."

"Ten catties each of Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow Iron, Nine Netherworld Mystic Crystal, and Star Pattern Steel; twenty catties each of Extraterrestrial Meteorite Iron and Crimson Fire Refined Gold; three zhang each of Purple Thunder Wood Core and Thousand-Year-Old Dark Wood; Dragon Blood Sand and Mystic Tortoise Shell Powder..."

Zheng Jun lightly tapped the jade table with his fingertips and announced seventeen kinds of rare and precious materials.

Huiyue's wrist trembled slightly as she wrote these notes. Any one of these materials was enough to spark a fight among Yuan Dan Martial Saints, and the Dragon Blood Sand, in particular, required the heart blood of a Yuan Dan realm dragon to refine.

After saying that, Zheng Jun waved his hand casually, and the dragon corpse of the Chizhangchuan Dragon King immediately appeared in front of the Taiji Palace. Zheng Jun casually said, "This dragon blood sand will do."

After Huiyue took the dragon's corpse, she bowed and withdrew, while the sea of ​​clouds outside Taiji Palace surged like boiling water.

These treasures were acquired for the purpose of refining a 'national treasure'.

After all, the repayment requirements also included three conditions: refining a "national treasure", constructing an altar of the state, and establishing thirty earth veins. The other two were already underway, so refining the "national treasure" naturally had to be put on the agenda.

Now I have unified the north and am rich across the four seas.

These few refining materials were naturally not a difficult task; an imperial edict was issued to have subordinates find them.

If it's not available, there's no need to personally travel the world to find the material.

"As for this 'national treasure'..."

Upon realizing this, Zheng Jun conjured a long ceremonial sword in his hand.

It was indeed the 'Dragon Abyss Blade'.

Having had the Dragon Abyss Blade with him for a long time, Zheng Jun naturally chose this blade now that he had chosen a 'national treasure'.

Although it was rather rare to do this, as the ancient Xia, Former Wei, Former Yu, and Former Zhou dynasties all used more prestigious items, such as imperial seals, maps of the land and rivers, and the emperor's sword, Zheng Jun did not care about these things.

Using a knife to protect the nation's fortune is also a good idea.

Moreover, he hadn't used the 'Dragon Abyss Blade' for a long time since he became a Dharma Body.

After all, for someone who has condensed the Dharma form of the 'Lord of the World', it makes no difference whether he uses the Dragon Abyss Blade or not; even if he fights bare-handed, his strength will not decrease in the slightest.

However, Zheng Jun was very skilled with the Dragon Abyss Blade, so he took the opportunity to refine it into a national treasure that he could use in the future to enhance his combat power.

After finishing all this, Zheng Jun began to review government affairs.

After all, personal cultivation is more important than political affairs.

Zheng Jun glanced at the government affairs and frowned slightly.

Zhang Bengong, the King of Chu, and Lu Wu have all surrendered, but Xiao Liang refuses to surrender.

Moreover, according to a secret report from Chen Jingzhong's Zhenfu Division, an organization called "Taipingdao" has recently emerged in Liang Kingdom and has swept across the country in an instant.

Recently, the news has spread to Sichuan and Jiangnan, and even within the Han Dynasty, there are already propagators of this organization.

This struck Zheng Jun as rather odd.

If it were an ordinary religion, how could it have spread so quickly? There must be someone pulling the strings behind the scenes!
Who is it?
Could it be that a Taoist at the peak of the Yuan Dan realm is trying to prove his Dao, and this is one of his methods?

Zheng Jun thought to himself.

Zheng Jun temporarily set aside this matter, only summoning the leaders of the three surrendered regimes to the capital for an audience. After approving several domestic government affairs, he reached out and took the soul of Fulong Zhenjun from his sleeve.

When Fulong Zhenjun saw Zheng Jun, he opened his mouth as if to say something, but Zheng Jun directly said, "Tell me about the method of condensing 'Stealing Heavenly Secrets'."

"Even if you don't tell me, I can find a way to condense it, it'll just be a bit troublesome, so don't make things difficult for yourself." (End of Chapter)
