The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 15: The Magical Use of a Broken Bowl, Mysteries of the Underworld

Under the Shenyuan Mine, ruins were unearthed. Mountains rose and fell on all sides, with thousands of peaks standing tall, forming a Bagua diagram imprinted on the ground, which was quite magnificent.

From a distance, the mountain is dominated by rocky mountains, with occasional ancient trees taking root between the rocky peaks, making it appear even greener. The fragrance of orchids fills the valley, creating a tranquil scene.

Wang Hongwu noticed that there was an ancient cave in the very center of the Bagua Mountains, emitting wisps of fairy air. It was obvious that there were extraordinary treasures hidden inside.

With the help of the incarnation of the leader, he successfully captured the God-killing Worm. Hundreds of impure larvae were thrown into the broken bowl.

"Let me see, how far can we go back to our ancestors?"

Divine light suddenly appeared, and the hundred divine insects were wrapped in the patterns of offering sacrifices to the heavens. They coiled together like a mountain of insects, and even erupted with the sound of metal clashing, as if hundreds of weapons were colliding.

Then, the mountain of insects began to condense, and the insects inside began to devour each other. The winner became bigger and bigger, piling up like a snowball, until the remaining ninety-nine insects were eaten up, and then it lay down into a ball and merged with the light of the sacrifice.

It was not until a moment later that the divine insect that was coiled into a ball began to revive and unfold its body, which was a foot long.

It was visible to the naked eye that it was many times longer than the god-killing insects seen before. It was like a hornless little dragon, radiating golden light all over its body. This was the characteristic of a demigod insect that had regressed to its original form and had the foundation to become a great sage.

When dragon horns grow on its head and dragon scales cover its body, it will become a true god-killing insect and have the "hope" of becoming emperor.

It is enough... Wang Hongwu nodded with satisfaction and hid the demigod insect in the sun wheel behind his head. This thing is different from his cultivation. It has the Taoism of an immortal when it was born, and its body is strong. It can eat anything. It is a hidden killing weapon.

"Maybe it's really the remains of an ancient royal family that was destroyed."

"You're overthinking it. How could a tribe that possesses the Ancient Emperor's weapons be wiped out silently?"

"That's hard to say. At least as far as we know, several royal families have been lost over the years. If it weren't for the ancient prince's efforts to save the situation, the original lake would probably have..."

The various creatures present were also exploring, and many of them expected that this was a royal relic. If it weren't for the consideration of the original lake's face, they would probably have revealed more secrets.

After all, when the two great holy spirits appeared together, it was a real moment of life and death for the royal family.

"Although the environment is good, why does it always give me a cold and deadly feeling?"

Wang Hongwu's solar consciousness, which he cultivated with the Emperor's Scripture, was extremely sensitive. After a quick scan, he discovered that something was wrong with the place.

On the cliff, magical herbs are blooming and emitting a faint fragrance. Divine vines are twined in the mountains, and the flowers are crystal clear, some of which even have exotic fruits. But in such an environment, there is an unconcealable sense of death, like the disguise of the Nine Netherworld, which is very strange.

Ah!
Just as he was thinking, a scream suddenly came from the front. Someone fell straight down with his eyes glaring and his mouth wide open, dying on the spot.

But the strange thing was that there were no wounds on his body, only a vague feeling of distortion in his throat, as if an invisible big hand had grabbed his throat and strangled him to death.

"Strange, the soul is gone? Who took away its spirit?" A creature from the Blue Demon Clan stepped forward and discovered something even more bizarre.

What’s scary is that the moment it approaches, strange changes happen again.

People watched helplessly as its face changed drastically, and its entire body seemed to be lifted up by the throat by an invisible force. Its eyes and eyebrows widened, and it struggled violently, but could not make any sound. It fell into the same danger as the previous people.

"Retreat quickly, the place where you are standing is a death gate for the Bagua Mountains, and it is a place where yin energy is swirling!" A Taoist who was able to kill couldn't stand it and reminded them, and then the group of people who were alarmed changed their positions.

But the Eight Trigrams, the sixty-four phases are naturally constantly changing. At this moment, the Death Gate is here, and the next moment, the Death Gate changes its position again and appears where Wang Hongwu stands.

The creature of the Blue Demon Clan was not spared either. It only let out a scream of pain before losing its soul and its body fell to the ground.

"Is it the Son of the Sun God?" Many creatures stopped and wanted to use him to spy on what happened at the Death Gate.

woohoo~~
It was visible to the naked eye that a dim whirlwind was blowing around Wang Hongwu, with hair floating inside and shrill wails coming from it.

"There are hands...ghost hands!" Suddenly, a living creature widened its eyes and saw two withered black arms stretching out from the whirlwind. They were like evil spirits crawling back from the underworld to claim lives, and suddenly grabbed Wang Hongwu's throat, but there was no movement at all, and no sound could be heard. Even the spiritual sense could not scan it.

I'm afraid that the masters before them fell in this way, silently and without any defense.

"My previous feeling was indeed correct."

Wang Hongwu understood that ordinary people's spiritual consciousness could not observe, but the most masculine and pure solar consciousness was the nemesis of this kind of ghost. When the ghost hands approached his neck, red flames suddenly appeared, which instantly collapsed the small mountain he was standing on, and rocks flew into the air. The entire dim whirlwind was dispersed and became messy until it was a hundred feet away and reorganized.

"His spiritual consciousness is different. It contains the power of the sun. How was it forged?" Soon, a slayer discovered that the spiritual consciousness of the human saint was different. It was too masculine and domineering, just like a little sun. No wonder he was not afraid of the ghost wind.

Seeing that it could not do anything to the other party, the dim ghost wind split into two and suddenly rolled towards two other places.

"Where to go!"

Wang Hongwu chased after him, and when he passed by two connected cliffs, he suddenly pulled up the mountains with his bare hands, lifting one with each hand and pulling up both cliffs.

His solar power rolled like a sea of ​​fire, the high temperature distorted the sky, and the two cliffs were glowing during the infusion. Then, with a sudden throw, the two mountains smashed towards the location of the whirlwind, and the huge shadow crushed down directly, making the onlookers panic.

Bang! With a loud bang, neither of the two gusts of dark wind could escape. They were instantly killed by the volcano and burned to ashes.

"What kind of physique is this? He can throw mountains with just a raise of his hand!"

In the distance, many spectators exclaimed in surprise. The two cliffs were glowing all over, so brightly that they really looked like a blazing sun crossing the sky. It was very terrifying.

"You should just call yourself the Great Demon."

The powerful Bull Demon, who had finally flown back from afar, was stunned when he saw this and couldn't help shaking his head.

The human race's physique is really strange. I wonder if there is a physique with pure strength?
Roar! Immediately afterwards, thunder rumbled from the front. It was an even more terrifying forbidden area. The evil spirit there could not be dispelled. Blood-red lightning danced, and the momentum was shocking. Some creatures in the depths were enraged and suddenly roared in the direction of Wang Hongwu with a surging murderous light.

"Are there still dormant ghosts?" "What kind of place is this? Why is it so eerie?"

Many creatures were surprised and quickly retreated, not daring to get involved. God knows how many ghosts are there, maybe even a ghost king or a ghost saint!
Bang! Just as this mighty blow was about to land, a flash of golden light suddenly descended from the sky, crushing the killing ray with a single step. From within, a golden holy ape emerged, its hair flowing like fire, its muscles and bones like a fairy, its radiant light rising a hundred feet high. Carrying a golden hoop and silver staff on its back, it landed beside Wang Hongwu.

"Holy Prince?" "Hey, why are the Douzhan Royal Family so close to the human race?"

"This... doesn't seem right. Is there anything about the human race that is worthy of the Holy Prince's attention?"

Seeing this scene, the masters of various races who arrived became sensitive and cautious, staring at the two people without blinking, trying to find out some tricks from them.

However, Wang Hongwu was very calm, and the Holy Prince was also very casual. They did not explain their doubts at all, but instead started talking to themselves.

"My friend, why are you here too? There are so many things going on here, many royal families have descended." "My grandfather once said that you and I are both blessed with extraordinary luck and great fortune. If we work together, we can avoid a lot of trouble and gain opportunities. That's why I came here. You're quite my type. You single-handedly took down the elites of hundreds of races. It was a great pleasure. I'll try it next time."

The Holy Prince was straightforward and free-spirited in his words, which was because his fiery eyes could see through people's malice and darkness, while Wang Hongwu had none of these, only pure passion, and his temperament and style were similar, so he didn't mind calling him a friend; Wang Hongwu was the same, but he didn't expect that the old holy ape would arrange such a trip.

It seems that there are some good things under this ruins.

After a brief communication, the two decided to travel together and first broke into the Bagua Mountains behind the stone gate to seek opportunities.

"Hurry! Follow them, these two people will definitely come across a great opportunity. Even if we don't have meat to eat, we can still have some soup if we follow them!" Immediately, many people hurried to follow, wanting to fish in troubled waters and save the energy of clearing the way.

Some people also looked around, searching for the important figures. "Oh? I seem to have seen the traces of the masters of the Golden Cave. Are they here too?"

"Not only that, the descendant of the First King Clan, one of the three great Heavenly King Clans, is here too. Shi Zongyuan is a true powerhouse! And what about Yin Hualong? I heard he wants to challenge Yuan Gu to a duel. We definitely can't miss this opportunity before the battle!"

"Look, that's the descendant of the Ten Thousand Dragons Nest!" Just at that moment, a powerful man from the Tengu tribe turned around and saw a young purple-haired creature walking into the Bagua Mountains. Purple bells were tied to his wrists and ankles, and every step he took caused ripples. He also stood on the second heaven of the Immortal Platform.

His movements were so fast that he disappeared before anyone could get a closer look at him, leaving behind a sigh of regret in the audience.

On the other side, Wang Hongwu and the Holy Prince, who set out first, were unaware of this. They sped along, only to discover that although the Bagua Mountains looked small from the outside, there was actually a whole new world inside. There were sixty-four hexagrams in total, and each hexagram corresponded to a part of the world. When two hexagrams rotated and overlapped, they would be transferred to another place, which was very strange.

"Friend, can you see any problem with your sharp eyes?" Wang Hongwu asked. He didn't know what to do in this situation. He couldn't just use the Sun Emperor Fist to clear the way and blast through the road, right?

However, the Holy Prince also shook his head. It seemed that there was a special formation set up here that even he could not see through. In this way, the two of them had no choice but to go deeper.

After they had walked for over a hundred miles, a thick fog arose. No one could be seen within ten feet. It was very eerie. The mountain was completely silent, without a sound at all.

The gray mist rose strangely, and the two seemed to have come to the road to the underworld, and were about to reach an unknown underworld step by step.

They moved forward cautiously, and after an unknown amount of time, they finally entered an open area. There were corpses everywhere, some of which had even turned into fossils.

This seems to be the remains of a former battlefield, because the Holy Prince said that these are the corpses of the royal family who once protected the royal family, but they were all destroyed and not a single one was left.

"What kind of disaster would make the royal family vanish and all the subordinate royal families wiped out? Is it like the original lake?" Wang Hongwu fell into deep thought after hearing this. Unfortunately, there was no relevant information in the history he knew, so he could only rely on himself to explore.

However, he did not waste these corpses. The broken bowl on his waist spun, and suddenly a vortex opened up. He sucked the fossils and swallowed them all into the bowl. He began to temper them with the help of the piled-up alien source. All the corpses visible to the naked eye turned into ashes, but the remaining Dao traces and memories in their bodies were extracted and condensed into a small ball of light in the air.

This scene was very concealed. Because of the broken bowl, even the Holy Prince did not notice it. But Wang Hongwu suddenly had a new idea. He began to knead the ball of light, shaping it into the shape of a fruit, and left a corner of his own heaven-worshiping array pattern in the deep.

"After leaving this array pattern, whoever consumes this 'Dao Heart Fruit' will share a portion of the benefits as a sacrifice to me. This is an invisible transmission, and then their own experiences and insights will resonate together and be shared without loss.

In this way, our sect can truly suppress some of the myriad races, win over others, and gradually open up the situation until we are fearless and unify all the races!"

He held the fruit made from Dao marks and experience, his eyes gradually becoming deep. The current situation was that the human race had taken advantage of others, and that was why they were being besieged and treated with hostility.

There are two ways to solve this problem. On the one hand, one is to kill a royal family and completely clear out some of the interests. However, such a big move is prone to subsequent instability, and the strong aggressiveness is likely to be feared by more ethnic groups. Therefore, while killing, it is also necessary to make the cake bigger, exert pressure and cooperate at the same time.

Cooperation means mutual benefit and it means trading. If you want to cooperate, you must have products that benefit other ethnic groups to a certain extent. The other ethnic groups do not accept the human race because the cake has been finalized and their respective sectors have been determined. However, if the human race replaces the original ones while coming up with new things, the possibility of cooperation will naturally be greatly enhanced.

The most important thing for each major ethnic group is inheritance, cultivating middle-level forces and the most outstanding geniuses. So what is the most important thing for the geniuses and the backbone?
It is time, it is the heart of the Tao, it is experience, it is resources. These all require experience and sedimentation and cannot be achieved quickly.

But Wang Hongwu is different. His bowl for offering sacrifices to heaven has the function of refining and purifying. It can directly skip this process and provide these people with what they need most. It can even deal with many dissipated Dao traces that are difficult to comprehend now, and gather and process them into "Dao Heart Fruit" that is easy to comprehend.

These raw materials are also very simple. Killing people or sacrificing corpses will definitely be enough after conquering a piece of tribal land. There are also many enemies, and many of the enemy's memories, especially those of the old ones, who have lived long enough. The main thing is to have a large quantity to satisfy their hunger, and the output of resources will become nutrients for newcomers.

The most important thing is that after taking it, others will pay him half of the tribute and share their experiences and insights. This has great benefits, and one can even get a glimpse into the secrets of all races.

Anyway, no one will think that there is too much of this thing. After creating this heart fruit, the geniuses of ordinary ethnic groups will naturally gather towards the human race.

By then, the human race can take advantage of the reputation and momentum of the Fighting Royal Family to launch the "Prodigy List" and rank these guys of the time. Only with competition can it be easier to sell goods.

Moreover, after the list of geniuses is created, Ziwei Sect can operate it well. The geniuses who are ranked high can receive Dao Heart Fruit every once in a while, and it is usually sold in limited quantities to promote competition. Of course, it also needs the name and brand of the Fighting Royal Family to protect it.

In this way, the human race can naturally win over those small tribes and form a power alliance. Even when the Ziwei Sect is strong enough and he himself becomes a saint, he can also promulgate new rules. Those who are willing to join the human race as a genius can obtain the status of a human branch and be regarded as a member of the human race.

Not only does he want to use all races as food, he also wants to bring in all the talents of all races, refine their bloodlines, transform them into branches of the human race, eat them up completely and develop sustainably.

Of course, the premise of all this is strength. Without sufficient strength, it is all wishful thinking. When it is first implemented, it is necessary to rely on the power and momentum of a large royal family, and a lot of preparation is needed.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly laughing so twistedly?" At this moment, the Holy Prince looked over and noticed that Wang Hongwu's expression was quite ferocious, so he couldn't help but mention it.

"It's nothing, I just thought about something happy. The future of the Beidou tribe will be very exciting." Wang Hongwu laughed and said nothing more.

Being a genius yourself is certainly very satisfying, but playing with the geniuses of all races in the palm of your hand and watching them kill each other under your arrangement is even more pleasurable.

When he walked to the depths of the road, his expression suddenly changed, and the shadows of the ten great caves appeared behind him. Among them, the Heavenly Venerable in the front cave seemed to have sensed something and began to chant. The grand sound could be heard from far and near, as if giving guidance.

Is this place related to the remains of the ancient Celestial Lord? Wang Hongwu noticed something and glanced at the Holy Prince beside him. Isn't this a living encyclopedia? He simply asked, "By the way, Holy Prince, there is one thing I have always been unclear about. The Nine Secrets created by the Nine Celestial Lords in the mythological era are known to everyone.

As an ancient emperor who has attained enlightenment, he should be able to gather all these beings. Why haven't the seven royal families of Beidou revealed themselves?"

"It's not that no ancient emperors have ever collected it. Even many of the ancient emperors' descendants have collected it. It's just that the Nine Secrets were created by outsiders after all, and many of them were even venerable people of the human race. Therefore, they are naturally more suitable for the human race rather than other races. The royal blood is also very domineering, and sometimes conflicts will arise with it.

The second and most important point is that the forbidden secret techniques created by the ancient emperor are not inferior to the so-called nine secrets when 'practiced by the clan'. In fact, they are more handy because of the bloodline. They are simple to practice and even powerful. Therefore, there is no need to look for them. Otherwise, you will practice for a long time and be exhausted, but it will be almost the same as the clan secret techniques that others have learned easily. Why waste this time and resources?

Third, a tall tree attracts the wind. Ever since the collapse of the Ancient Heaven in the mythical era, someone has been trying to collect the complete Nine Secrets and prevent others from combining them. The Ancient Imperial Family suspects that the remnants of Heaven, the Underworld, and the Eight Divine Descendants are behind this, as it's very likely that both the Emperor and the Immortal Emperor have accomplished this, hiding a great secret.

The Holy Prince patiently explained that this was not a secret among the seven royal families. The nine secret techniques created by the ancient Tianzun in the mythological era could be combined into one and could also lead the way. Many people even flocked to them because they believed that the combination of the nine secret techniques could lead to immortality.

After knowing this, Wang Hongwu also had a clue in his mind. It was not that the extreme forces did not want to collect it, but after weighing the pros and cons, they felt that it was not necessary. As for the ancient times, that was another matter.

Suddenly, when the two were discussing the Nine Secrets, a shocking aura erupted from the front, so cold and intimidating that even those as powerful as them felt icy cold all over, as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

what happened? !

The two of them activated their divine powers at the same time, and brilliant red clouds and golden light surged forward, instantly illuminating the area.

I saw team after team of ghost soldiers, dressed in ancient costumes, some holding iron spears, some holding rusty spears, striding forward, there were as many as 100,000 of them, killing towards the endless and distant front.

The Yin soldiers took advantage of this? !
