Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 343 Five Years Later, the Temple of War Will Appear
With the two major foreign tribes swept away, the Sui Dynasty was on the verge of collapse.

Xu Qing didn't need to spend too much energy on governance, especially since he could get Li Shimin to serve him.

Having received the divine imprint, Li Shimin completely submitted to Xu Qing and harbored no disloyalty towards him.

Therefore, Xu Qing could rest assured that he could help with governance.

This emperor was, after all, the one destined to be a great emperor throughout history, whose talents would rank him among the top three among all emperors throughout history.

Xu Qing trusted him to manage the affairs, while he himself cultivated day and night, never stopping his pace of becoming stronger.

Xu Qing absorbed all kinds of energy in the world, and he has reached the highest realm in the "Longevity Manual", the level of the Taiji of Heaven and Earth.

Once this level is reached, one can seize the essence of heaven, earth, and all things in the universe for one's own use.

This means that we can no longer only draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as before, but can make use of any energy.

The universe contains a vast amount of energy, so upon reaching this realm, Xu Qing achieved the level of fasting and cultivated by utilizing the energy of the universe.

He will also have no shortage of cultivation resources.

Xu Qing did not cultivate in Daxing City, but instead found a place with relatively abundant natural energy.

That's the summit of Tianshan Mountain.

Rumble!
The sky shifted, and thick dark clouds, drawn together by Xu Qing's powerful magnetic field, gathered and enveloped the summit of Tianshan Mountain.

Thunder and lightning appeared in the thick clouds.

In the distance, the Evil Emperor watched this scene quietly from Yu Tian and Wan Wan.

The lightning flashed continuously, and the resulting pressure was unbearable for ordinary people.

Even a grandmaster would be terrified by such heavenly lightning.

Even a powerful expert like Xiang Yutian, who is at the Shattered level, would find it difficult to remain calm and composed.

boom!
A burst of lightning flashed, accompanied by thunder, and a huge bolt of lightning struck Xu Qing.

The power of this lightning bolt was terrifying, and its speed was extremely fast, making it impossible to avoid.

But Xu Qing made no attempt to dodge. He remained firmly seated atop Mount Tian, ​​and the lightning that struck him did not cause him any harm.

A golden bell appeared, and all the major acupoints around its body emitted terrifying suction forces, drawing in the energy of the heavenly thunder and transforming it into a pure energy containing the power of heaven and earth.

This energy nourished Xu Qing's physique and further refined his true essence.

“Cultivating with heavenly lightning, throughout history, I’m afraid only he has been able to do it!”

The Evil Emperor sighed, finding this method of cultivation to be quite insane.

Because the power of heavenly lightning is terrifying, containing the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, the human body simply cannot withstand such a bombardment.

However, Xu Qing's physique was very strong, able to withstand the cutting of the void rift, and naturally he could also withstand the power of heavenly lightning.

This is an astonishing feat that can only be accomplished when the physical body reaches the shattering level.

Furthermore, the method of absorbing the power of heavenly lightning to enhance one's own foundation is even more incredible.

"Your Majesty's divine might is unstoppable, even heaven and earth cannot withstand it. Heavenly lightning is devoured by Your Majesty like food, and transformed into the power to become stronger."

Wanwan's beautiful eyes sparkled, her admiration and love undisguised.

This wasn't the first time Xu Qing had practiced Heavenly Thunder cultivation like this over the years.

Nearly five years have passed since the defeat of the Turks and Goryeo.

Five years have made Xu Qing stronger; the tempering of his body by heavenly lightning and the honing of his true essence are the best proof of this.

In these five years, he also completed his fourth blood transfusion, making his blood and energy even stronger and more refined, and his entire skeleton was engraved with a rune of a golden-winged roc.

That was the means Xu Qing acquired after he had figured out all the secrets of Li Yuanba's physique.

These divine runes, similar to supernatural powers of the physical body, are added to the bones, strengthening them and enhancing the physique.

It also allowed Xu Qing to unleash a magical phenomenon—the Golden-Winged Roc!
In conclusion, Xu Qing's progress over the past five years has remained rapid.

With the assistance of numerous martial arts techniques and the "Moment of Enlightenment," Xu Qing has virtually no bottlenecks, possesses extraordinary comprehension, and progresses at a terrifying speed.

His current strength has completely exceeded the limitations of this world.

After refining yet another bolt of lightning, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated completely.

Electric currents surged around Xu Qing, his eyes blazing like the sun. He sighed softly, "It seems this is the last time." Years of cultivating with the energy of heaven and earth and lightning had made him even stronger.

The power of thunder in this world now provides him with negligible improvement, with very little effect.

This environment severely limited his growth.

Upon seeing that Xu Qing had finished his cultivation, the Evil Emperor and Wanwan flew over.

Wanwan gently helped Xu Qing get dressed, and the latter looked at the Evil Emperor and asked, "Has the time come?"

The Evil Emperor nodded slightly: "I am now certain that the Jingyan Palace will open somewhere in the Liuma Plain within three months."

"They're finally going to appear." Xu Qing's eyes gleamed.

He could have left this world long ago, but he was waiting for the birth of the Jingyan Palace.

Upon arriving in this world, one cannot miss the "War God's Record," the foremost of the Four Great Books.

"Back to Daxing." Xu Qing waved his hand, and a gust of wind swept up, carrying the Evil Emperor and Wanwan, and together they rode the wind towards Daxing City.

Xu Qing has already reached the eighth level of this wind-based divine ability, and he is not far from the final level.

They moved extremely fast, returning to Daxing City from Tianshan in less than two hours.

"Greetings to Your Majesty."

Both Li Shimin and Yuwen Huaji bowed to Xu Qing.

The two men were summoned, their gazes filled with reverence and awe.

"The Jingyan Palace is about to appear. You two should personally lead the army to make advance preparations, covering the entire Liuma Plain. I want to see the Jingyan Palace appear as soon as possible!"

Xu Qing nodded slightly, told the two to rise, and gave them instructions.

The two exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with excitement; the legendary Jingyan Palace was finally about to appear in the world.

"The minister obeys the order!"

The two said in unison.

The Liuma Plain is vast, but with the dynasty's resources to search, once the Jingyan Palace appears, the army will be able to find it quickly.

After all, the power that an entire dynasty can unleash when it mobilizes is immense.

The two men took their leave and went to assemble the army.

Xu Qing leaned against the soft body of Wanwan, enjoying the beauty's service.

At this moment, the beauty reminded him: "Your Majesty, five years have passed, and the remnants of Cihang Jingzhai and the Song Clan have not appeared."

Do you think they'll show up this time?

Although these remnants are few in number, each of them possesses extraordinary talent.

He has kept his identity hidden all these years.

I wonder how much improvement my skills will have made.

Wanwan knew very well that the Holy Maiden Shi Feixuan of Cihang Jingzhai was highly talented. Five years had passed, and perhaps through diligent study, she had made a great breakthrough in martial arts.

The names of Shi Feixuan, Shuanglong, and others also came to mind in Xu Qing's mind.

These people must be eradicated.

"If we spread the news that the War God's Manual is about to appear, those guys will definitely be unable to hold back and show up."

Xu Qing spoke calmly, "These people will never give up their revenge against him."

With the imminent appearance of the "War God's Record," the foremost of the Four Great Classical Novels, these people will surely be tempted.

After all, revenge requires formidable martial arts skills and strength.

The War God's Manual can help people achieve great breakthroughs!
We've given these guys so many years to grow; it's time to reap the rewards.
