At the age of fifteen, Li Shouxi, the eldest prince, was sent to the border as soon as he had tied his hair to guard Liaodong. Therefore, he signed in for the "Prince Gift Pack" -

The crown robe woven with black gold silk brocade and a hidden dragon pattern, the noble and gorgeous Nine-Dragon Sword with a chilling light, the Panlong Seal that carries the fortune of the princes, the Nine-Dragon Jade Disk that represents the identity of the royal princes, and the tiger-shaped token of the Three Thousand Guards!

This is not a simple equipment, but a set of "Nine Gifts" that carries the destiny of the Tang Dynasty.

Even if the immortals on earth wanted to take action against Li Shouxi, they would have to consider the consequences of being backlashed by the luck of the Tang Dynasty.

Without the blessing of the luck of heaven and earth, a human immortal would fall back to the ninth level.

This is also the reason why the immortals on land, who have the power to split rivers and seas and destroy the heavens and the earth, do not declare themselves emperors.

The backlash of the dynasty's luck could cause it to fall from grace.

The Hidden Dragon Robe in the princes' suit has a black crown on the front with silver dragon patterns faintly visible and decorated with nine chapters; the back is a white casual brocade robe. There is no gorgeous decoration, but the simple brocade robe is still invaluable.

The Nine Dragon Sword is as sharp as the Young Scale Sword and is similar to the Shang Fang Sword in film and television dramas. It can execute Tang Dynasty officials below the third rank first and report later, and is equivalent to the "axe" among the Nine Gifts.

The Coiled Dragon Gold Seal and the Nine Dragon Jade Disk are absolute tokens of the princes’ status.

Especially the Panlong Golden Seal. No matter whether it is a fiefdom document or a memorial to the court, it needs the vermilion seal of the Panlong Golden Seal to take effect, otherwise it will be an invalid private letter.

The last tiger token was from Li Shouxi's personal guard battalion guarding the border.

Black armored cavalry*3000!

This is the most elite military force of the Tang Dynasty, the Black Armored Soldiers, or the Black Armored Cavalry!

The Tang Dynasty had over one million elite soldiers and 300,000 cavalry on the border, but only 10,000 black-armored soldiers.

Each black armored soldier is of the sixth rank, the seventh rank for the lieutenant, the eighth rank for the centurion, the quasi-ninth rank for the thousand-man commander, and the chief and deputy commanders are all ninth rank grandmasters. Moreover, each soldier wears a heavy armor made of black iron weighing more than 100 kilograms, which can only be broken by a seventh rank master; under his mount is a black dragon colt with the blood of an exotic beast, comparable to a tiger or leopard, which can travel a thousand miles a day and eight hundred miles a night.

This is also the reason why the empire only had 10,000 black armored cavalry at its peak.

Ten thousand soldiers, more than a thousand seventh-grade masters, hundreds of eighth-grade masters, dozens of top masters at the quasi-ninth-grade level, and even two ninth-grade grandmasters, is definitely a terrifying force that can shock all of Kyushu.

Similarly, there are the Great Qin Warriors, the Great Snow Dragon Riders, the Three Thousand Divine Machine Battalions... They are all the super foundation of a great country, and they are special troops that can sweep across the world and are invincible.

The number of the Black Armored Cavalry that Li Shouxi signed in was three thousand, and they were ostensibly the personal guard battalion sent by the Tang Emperor to protect him.

The commander is Li Shentong, who is at the Great Vajra Realm; there are two lieutenant generals, who are at the Ninth Grade Vajra Realm; there are three thousand men, who are at the quasi-ninth grade; there are thirty-five centurions, who are at the peak of the eighth grade.

Among them, the Great Vajra Realm is the ultimate among the nine realms!

After a warrior enters the ninth rank, he does not directly become a super master of the celestial realm. Instead, he will enter the different realms according to the different martial arts he practices.

Diamond Realm! Mysterious Finger Realm! Celestial Realm!

The Vajra Realm is the path of horizontal training, with vigorous Qi and blood, and Vajra is indestructible;

The mysterious realm is the ultimate of the art, returning to the original state, the true meaning of martial arts;

The celestial realm is controlled by the primordial spirit, where nature and man are one, half a step beyond!

Moreover, there is no distinction between high and low in a single realm.

Such as the major martial arts holy places and thousand-year-old families with top-level inheritance, the Vajra power of the Buddhist Vajra Realm, and the Taoist martial arts magic of Zhixuan, all of which are no less powerful than the power of heaven and earth controlled by the Great Celestial Realm.

However, among the combat power of the general ninth-grade masters, the Celestial Realm is undoubtedly the strongest among the three, and can even cause a crushing trend.

In addition, there are double-realm grandmasters and triple-realm grandmasters, whose combat power far exceeds that of single-realm grandmasters.

But great masters of the upper realm are extremely rare in Jiuzhou!

After reaching the pinnacle of one martial art, the difficulty of reaching the pinnacle of another martial art increases by more than ten times.

Chapter 3: Taoist Longevity Secret Towering Dragon Gate Pass

At the age of sixteen, Li Shouxi signed in on the battlefield for the first time.

Three-headed dragon with black armor.

This is a full-body heavy armor, forged from extremely hard meteorite iron from outer space. It has smooth lines and is full of tension. Wearing it gives you a strong sense of power and impact.

In terms of decoration, the exquisite, domineering and deep black armor pieces are perfectly connected and natural. The helmet and shoulders are decorated with lifelike, majestic and ferocious dragon heads, and there is no redundant part in the whole.

This set of Jiaolong Black Armor can not only defend against swords and guns, but also buffer the impact of Gangqi.

At the age of seventeen, I signed with a maid group——

The four swords of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum!

On the surface, the four girls were orphans he rescued at the border.

The family had a clean background, but their relatives were in trouble. In order to thank Li Shouxi for saving their lives, the four daughters became slaves and maids and served him.

The four girls were not only beautiful and graceful, but also had the same facial features and height, like clones copied from the same mold. If it weren't for their different temperaments, Plum Sword's pink skirt was charming, Blue Sword's white skirt was cool, Bamboo Sword's green skirt was gentle, and Chrysanthemum Sword's yellow skirt was innocent, Li Shouxi would have found it difficult to distinguish the identities of the four sisters.

In terms of qualifications, the four girls are also superior.

Not only are they twins born from the same womb, they are also very close, but they are also already seventh-grade masters at the age of 28.

You have to know that Li Shouxi was trained by the royal family. In addition to a large amount of resources, he also had top-level cultivation techniques and fought life-and-death battles on the battlefield, which enabled him to break through to the seventh level at the age of seventeen.

The plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum swords can reach the seventh level of martial arts at the age of sixteen. This talent is even more amazing than Li Shouxi.

However, the real fighting power is that even the four girls combined are not a match for Li Shouxi's ten moves.

What is a monster?

It's not just about having a fast training speed, but also about having combat power that crushes those at the same level and dominates the contemporary world.

This is the true genius.

After all, with so many resources, Li Shouxi's cultivation is not just about speed, otherwise it is easy to leave a false and unstable foundation for himself. Therefore, Li Shouxi's main mental method is based on Hunyuan Tongzi Gong, supplemented by Zhisheng Qiankun Gong.

They all cultivate the innate pure yang qi, and under normal circumstances, there is no noticeable difference between them.

Especially the more advanced the skills, the more solid the foundation needs to be, so that the future can be smooth!

Once the Hunyuan Boy's Skill is perfected and he enters the realm of the Boy's Golden Body and the non-leakage of Yuan Yang, the Zhisheng Qiankun Skill will also advance by leaps and bounds.

The gift of adulthood at the age of eighteen – a dominant physique!

This overlord is not Overlord Xiang Yu, but Li Yuanba in The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties!

His arms are as strong as four elephants, his blood and energy are as vigorous as a dragon. At the same time, his height skyrocketed to more than nine feet within a year. Although he looks slender and upright, he has the power of a dragon, an elephant and a tiger.

Signing in at the age of nineteen, Li Shouxi received another top-level elixir——

Tongtianwan!

This is the most precious treasure of Haotian Daoism. It can not only cleanse the bones and tendons, but also bring the dead back to life. If a warrior takes it, his power will increase greatly, and a quasi-ninth-grade warrior can be directly pushed to the ninth-grade warrior. This shows its value.

But this thing is a life-saving treasure. As long as the person is not beheaded, he can be saved even if he is pierced by an arrow in the heart.

Not long ago, Li Shouxi, who just turned 20, signed in again.

Taoist longevity secret!

At the age of six, Li Shouxi signed in for the Hunyuan Boy's Kung Fu, which enabled him to cultivate a breath of innate pure yang energy and forge an indestructible body. When he reached perfection, he became a Buddhist Vajra.

Seeing that more than ten years of practice is about to be completed, it is time to sign in to the Taoist Longevity Secret, which is the method of practicing Qi Zhixuan.

Moreover, there are a total of seven pictures in the Taoist Longevity Secret, and each picture is a ninth-grade finger-profound method. If it is completed, it can prove the great finger-profound method and the great celestial phenomenon. If it is placed in the martial arts world, they are all top-level skills that can cause bloodshed.

Yin and Yang refine the spirit, the Five Elements refine Qi!

The combination of the seven diagrams into one is the power of the immortals on earth.

This is a true land immortal, not a land immortal born out of luck.

Even Li Shouxi couldn't help but admire the power of the system.

You must know that the immortals on land are born out of luck, but the Holy Spirit Sword Technique and the Taoist Longevity Technique are both supreme skills that surpass the ninth level.

Especially compared to the Holy Spirit Sword Technique, the Art of Immortality is a true mental method that can be achieved to great perfection.

"Open the door!"

Under the vast and majestic Longmen Pass.

At this time, a team of iron cavalry like black dragons approached rapidly, and the dust raised by the galloping horses was rolling. The deputy general guarding the city gate saw the ferocious Hu Kui leading the black cavalry, and hurriedly ordered people to open the city gate.

Following the black cavalry in black armor like a steel torrent.

Open the door, enter the city, close the door, all in one go.

When the cavalry entered the city, they saw no bustling streets or alleys inside Longmen Pass, but a wide and straight defensive road with high walls on both sides, leading directly to the iron wall of the pass.

The cavalry turned left on the side of the road and entered another open main road.

At the end is a magnificent and majestic mansion——

Prince Yan’s Mansion!

"Your Highness, His Majesty's decree has been issued for half an hour!"

"Decree? I see.

Prepare a bucket of hot water. I am sweating all over now. I will take a bath and burn incense before going to receive the imperial edict.

Also, wash the dust off Hu Kui's body, give him 50 catties of raw meat, 50 catties of cooked meat, and 50 catties of strong liquor, and never let him destroy the house."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

···

Towering mountains and rivers, majestic Dragon City!

This is a black border town that seems to be made of steel, with towering arrow towers, majestic urn cities, and bloody and eerie horse traps...

Especially the ten-foot-high wall that stands against the mountain, crossing the Yanyun Grand Canyon, which is thousands of feet wide and has rugged terrain. From a distance, it looks like a giant beast lying dormant on the earth, dominating the mountains and gazing at the Mobei grassland.

Longmen Pass was built to defend against the barbarians from the northern desert from plundering from the south.

However, in addition to Li Shouxi supervising the three armies, there was also Su Dingshan, the Duke of Tang, who served as the commander-in-chief of the three armies and guarded the border, forming a situation of mutual checks and balances between the two sides.

This is also the general allocation of rights for an army going on an expedition.

However, as a vassal prince, Li Shouxi still had administrative power over Liaodong.

Relying on the convenience of the power of the princes, he reclaimed and stored land, smuggled contraband, and established workshops... In just a few years, he won over most of the generals in the border troops.

Even seizing power at this time is no longer a problem.

But Li Shouxi did not do so.

Because the most important thing for the border is stability, and the Tang Emperor is in his prime.

Even though he now controls Liaodong, as long as he is still a prince of the Tang Dynasty, he can be deprived of power with just a word from the Tang Emperor.

The Emperor of Tang possessed two of the following: Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents and Teachers.

Unless the Emperor of Tang launches an attack without any reason, it will not be justified.

Therefore, Li Shouxi guarded the border for many years without any excessive behavior or arrogance to seize power.

Instead, he maintained a certain distance from the Duke of Zhenguo.

Win over veterans?

Li Shouxi knew that this Duke was only loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

As for joining Li Shouxi?

Once the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion was involved in the battle for the throne, the Su family would be in danger. If Li Shouxi was the Duke of Zhenguo, he would not choose a side now.

Therefore, over the years, Li Shouxi has always kept an absolute distance from the Duke of Zhenguo and concentrated on developing Liaodong.

And the results are remarkable.

The Liaodong area is home to a vast area of ​​fertile black soil. Just by cultivating the black soil, the Liaodong area has achieved self-sufficiency in food, and has gradually become a granary comparable to those in the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains.

In addition to the smuggling business that was a form of embezzlement and the three major districts of Liaodong that complemented the three major districts of Jiangnan, Li Shouxi made a fortune every year.

Even the Duke of Zhenguo, who was known for his strict military discipline, turned a blind eye to Li Shouxi's behavior.

Li Shouxi's smuggled goods were mostly silk, spices, Wushisan...

In return, they received the border troops' scarce war horses, fat cattle and sheep, and sturdy slaves, with profits worth hundreds of times their value.

In Li Shouxi's words, these are all luxuries for the nobility.
