Man covers the sky and conquers all worlds

Chapter 227 Founding of the Nation, News Leaked (Part 2)

"Buddha... Patriarch..."

Luo Yuheng's expression faltered for a moment, then he slowly said,

"So, even our ancestor, the founder of the Human Sect, couldn't fully withstand the calamity of karmic fire and was forced to start anew?"

Compared to the change in their identities, Luo Yuheng was more concerned about the road ahead!
His clear, cold voice echoed in the main hall of the Taoist temple, but the response he received was a rare sigh from the old man.

"The cultivation of our Human Sect is more difficult in the later stages compared to other sects... It has always been so."

To be precise, the three major systems of Daoist sect are all extremely difficult to master.

From the time Dao Zun manifested as a human being until now, countless years have passed.

During this long period, the Human Sect also produced countless outstanding individuals.

Some people discovered that they had fought and practiced with the beings in the Heavenly Sect who cultivated the Supreme Forgetfulness Heart Method.

Not only can it suppress the people of the Human Sect, but the endless karmic fire attracted during their cultivation can also allow the cultivators of the Heavenly Sect to retain a trace of humanity and not be completely assimilated by the Heavenly Dao.

However, this only provides temporary relief and cannot cure the underlying problem.

Therefore... some people discovered from the patriarch's cultivation manuscripts that by relying on the fortune of the world's dynasties, one could suppress the burning karmic fire within.

But... as everyone knows, those who possess great fortune cannot live forever.

So they took a different approach, choosing to integrate their own lineage into the dynasties of the human world, so that it could be nourished by fortune, but not so much that it would be blessed with great fortune.

But... even so, it can only alleviate the terror of being burned by karmic fire to a certain extent.

Once this suppression exceeds a certain threshold, the suppressed karmic fire will sweep towards the cultivator like a monstrous wave.

Luo Yuheng's father was also a prodigy. He summarized the many explorations of his predecessors and actually removed his own seven emotions from his body and transformed them into his own persona.

However... it seems that when he reached this point and was about to step into the first-grade realm, he also discovered the drawbacks that existed in it.

Even now, on the verge of death, he has never told Yu Luoyuheng about this method.

If Dawn were here, he might suddenly realize that his arrival in this world has finally brought about a change in the world's overall trend.

If things had continued as they were, Luo Yuheng's father might have silently perished within these few years, carrying this secret with him...

They also left no record for posterity.

This secret was only gradually revealed from an ancient tomb after Xu Qi'an arrived.

Perhaps sensing his impending death, the old man became somewhat rambling.

"Those who possess great fortune cannot live forever... This is also a conclusion reached by our ancestor after he usurped the throne and became emperor thousands of years ago..."

"I see……"

Luo Yuheng's chest rose and fell slightly.

……

"Uncle... is power really that important to you?"

Inside the sprawling military tents, candlelight flickered in the wind. Wei Yuan clutched a yellowed letter in his hand, closing his eyes with a pained expression.

This letter was sent to him by Shangguan Xixue.

His life in this lifetime has undergone earth-shattering changes under the impetus of dawn.

It wasn't just that he started practicing martial arts more than ten years earlier.

This led the power-hungry Shangguan Pei, upon learning of Shangguan Pei's achievements in the border army, to secretly plot to marry his daughter to the Prince of Huai.

Yes, it wasn't the future Emperor Yuanjing, but the Prince of Huai, Yuanjing's younger brother!
Unlike Emperor Yuanjing, who was frail and sickly from childhood and had a weak soul, this Prince Huai was exceptionally gifted from a young age and possessed extremely high aptitude and comprehension in martial arts.

Now, he is only ten years old, but he is already an eighth-rank martial artist.

While the fact that the Great Feng Dynasty invested many resources and renowned teachers in him is partly due to this, his talent cannot be concealed.

Although Yuan Jing was the eldest son of the legitimate wife, his younger brother was also a legitimate son.

In a world with extraordinary powers, self-cultivation will also be listed as a prerequisite for candidates.

Empress Joan of Arc ascended the throne in this manner.

It is foreseeable that, barring unforeseen circumstances, this Prince of Huai will have a very high probability of becoming the next emperor.

However, Shangguan Pei was unaware of this; those blessed with great fortune cannot achieve immortality.

Moreover, although this ambitious Prince Huai was young, he believed that as long as he possessed unparalleled military power, power, wealth, and status would come to him sooner or later.

There is absolutely no need to give up one's martial arts future for the sake of the title of emperor.

In order to make progress in martial arts, he was even willing to slaughter hundreds of thousands of people in the future, all for the sake of condensing that one Blood Pill.

Of course, this might be partly due to the fact that he was possessed by the remnant soul of Joan of Arc, which aroused his desires.

But... that's really his personality.

The current Prince of Huai is not even ten years old, and is six or seven years younger than Shangguan Xixue.

Even so, for his own future and to prevent Wei Yuan from growing up, he took Shangguan Xixue away from him.

She was incredibly cruel, wanting to marry her daughter to this young child.

In the dim, flickering candlelight, Wei Yuan's eyes were deep and unfathomable.
"Do you think that Xixue's happiness is unimportant, and that only the power in your hands matters...?"

Whoosh!

Outside the tent, the autumn wind howled, and the banners fluttered in the wind.

Inside the tent, Wei Yuan suddenly raised his head, his gaze resolute.

"I should... reach the fourth rank!"

Tuk Tuk!

A heavy knocking sounded at the right moment. Wei Yuan slightly raised his hand, and the heavy door moved without wind, slowly opening.

Standing at the entrance was a border army centurion, fully armored and armed.

Its robust physique, standing outside the gate, resembled a ferocious giant bear standing upright, exuding a fierce and violent aura.

This man possessed the strength of an eighth-rank martial artist and had a minor clash with Wei Yuan during a battle.

However, under Wei Yuan's compelling truth, he was ultimately forced to apologize with a bundle of thorns on his back, and the two sides eventually reconciled in the presence of the commander of a thousand men at the time.

"Commander Wei, your promotion and transfer have been completed. The Left General of the Guerrilla Army has specially prepared a grand banquet to invite you to attend. There is no need for you to don your armor and weapons."

When his gaze fell upon Wei Yuan, that aggressive look ultimately recoiled as if struck by lightning.

"Um……"

Wei Yuan slightly rolled his eyelids, not even glancing at him directly.

Although this man was furious inside, his face remained expressionless. He simply glanced around the military tent, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Wei Yuan and said...
"I have delivered the message. Farewell."

boom!
As the air currents rolled in, the heavy door slammed shut.

Even the flickering candlelight went out, plunging the tent into a thick, inky darkness.

In the darkness, Wei Yuan stood tall, his eyes shining with an astonishing light that almost illuminated the entire tent.

"The Feast at Hongmen... then let's make a decision!"

This guerrilla general surnamed Zuo, because he supported his own bandits and his business dealings with the barbarians were interrupted by Wei Yuan.

He held a grudge against Wei Yuan ever since. Not only that, but he also made things difficult for Wei Yuan when assigning tasks.

Even a year ago, they deliberately colluded with the barbarians to set a trap for Wei Yuan.

On the surface, it was to send Wei Yuan to deal with a small troop of wolf riders.

In reality, hundreds of barbarian knights were on high alert, waiting for Wei Yuan to walk right into their trap.

Thus, whether Wei Yuan died in battle or surrendered to the barbarians, he would have no more worries.

They even used this opportunity to present a pledge of allegiance to the barbarians.

The next time the barbarians search the mountains and seas, they will be able to give him a chance to survive, and may even reward him with some military merits.

They've certainly played their cards right.

Unfortunately, he never expected that Wei Yuan would actually reach the fifth rank in the midst of battle!

To reach the same level as him.

After that incident, his attitude finally made a complete 180-degree turn.

This continued for a whole year.

Until tonight!

"No need for armor and weapons? Ha! Then I'll go without armor and without a sword!"

Wei Yuan shook his head slightly, drew his sword from his waist, casually stuck it upside down in the ground, and then stepped out, entering the darkness alone.

Three-quarters of an hour later, a violent noise woke countless soldiers from their sleep. At the commander's tent, flames soared into the sky, as if thunder was rolling...

After another long while, Wei Yuan, covered in blood and holding a blood-stained tiger head, spoke with a grave expression, his mind sharpening like a surging tide of intelligence.
"A powerful barbarian warrior launched a night attack on the general's camp, and the guerrilla general was unfortunately killed..."

……

In the little-known land of the Southern Frontier, millions of people were migrated like a tide, and with the help of enormous demonic beasts, they carved out a new home.

At first, they were terrified, having only heard that from now on they would be separated from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons and become subjects of a human emperor.

The residents, especially those who had just fled from Dafeng territory, were particularly terrified.

The reign of Joan of Arc is now in decline.

Empress Joan of Arc often confined herself to the inner palace and rarely paid attention to state affairs. Her control over the nine provinces of the world was declining at an alarming rate.

At the same time, he was cultivating the Tao in order to fight against the curse of the Heavenly Dao that "those who are blessed with great fortune cannot live forever."

Under the influence of the Black Lotus Daoist of the Earth Sect, he needed to consume a large amount of resources every year to forcefully push himself forward.

The demand for these resources, when it comes to the counties and prefectures of the nine provinces, is ultimately borne by the common people at the bottom of society.

In particular, the officials in charge of the herders used this opportunity to amass wealth...

The situation... then became increasingly out of control!
Therefore, for these refugees, the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, which had almost no taxes, was like paradise, something they could hardly imagine.

After all, in the past, when they grew a portion of grain, they would have to divide it into ten portions, and at least 80% of it would be handed over to various taxes.

The remaining 20% ​​is barely enough to make ends meet.

In years of disaster, they would not be able to survive and would have no choice but to sell their land at a low price.

Even... exchanging children to eat!

Now that they are once again under the rule of the so-called Human Emperor, their first reaction is naturally one of extreme fear.

In their view, isn't the so-called human emperor also an emperor?

As long as one is an emperor, one cannot help but indulge in pleasure and tolerate the tyranny of his officials.

Some time later, when the nation was officially founded, a handsome man with a tall and imposing figure, wearing a black dragon robe, walked through the air.

With every gesture, flowers rained down from the sky, golden lotuses bloomed from the ground, and a vast expanse of golden rain fell from the sky, capable of healing people's injuries and illnesses.

Their perception of this emperor changed dramatically.

At the same time, a huge stone tablet descended from the sky.

These are the many Taoist techniques passed down by this human emperor!
Among them... there is a scroll of "Martial Arts Classic", a scroll of "Taoist Classic", and even a scroll of "Buddhist Classic"!
Of course, this volume of Buddhist scriptures is a Mahayana Buddhist scripture that Li Ming improved upon with the help of the Diagram of the Myriad Paths of the Heavens!

After cultivating, he was no longer hindered by that Buddha, and even experienced many wonderful benefits.

This is because the area is relatively isolated, and much information cannot be disseminated in a short period of time.

If the Buddhists knew this news, they would probably have already led an endless army and stormed over.

This is a true battle for the ultimate truth!

Of course, it is also highly possible that before the Buddhist army even arrived in this area, the internal conflict between Mahayana and Hinayana Buddhism had already begun to cause chaos.

After all... Buddhism is too vast.

Furthermore, it lost the direct jurisdiction of the Buddha.

However... these scriptures are only accessible up to the fifth rank.

More advanced techniques require reaching this level of cultivation and then directly meeting the Emperor to receive instruction from him.

Even so, this undisguised three-volume scripture caused a huge stir when it circulated in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.

This is because... it is a major improvement to the three major systems of martial arts, Buddhism, and Taoism.

Even the nine-tailed celestial fox, who was in seclusion, was briefly awakened and had to send someone to prepare generous gifts, wanting to ask Li Ming for further instruction on cultivation techniques.

Dawn, of course, was equally generous with these three volumes of cultivation techniques. While these techniques represented a revolutionary change in the cultivation system of this world, they were not without their merits.

But for him, it was merely a preliminary step in preparation for the later implementation of the Heaven-Covering Secret Realm method.

Once he has the strength, he will inevitably change the world.

Although these three volumes of Daoist teachings have already incorporated some of the Emperor's scriptures from the Heaven-Covering Emperor.

But such transitional methods that connect the past and the future will eventually fall into the dust of history.

Even if it spreads throughout the world before then, so what?

He doesn't care.

Furthermore, if he cared, he wouldn't have spread so many ancient scriptures of the Heaven-Covering Realm at other times.

……

Time flies, and another year has passed.

While Li Ming was trying to break through to the second rank, he was constantly using the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom to collect various Taoist techniques and cultivation methods.

The Buddhist scripture he transmitted was also known within the Buddhist community.

However, he was indeed very low-key at the beginning of the founding of the country.

None of the major powers knew that such a kingdom had been born in the southern borderlands.

This place is still considered part of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.

At the same time, the exposure of this Buddhist scripture was indeed revealed by a demon.

At the same time, the news that the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox had reached the first rank but whose strength had not yet been fully recovered was also leaked!
