Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

Song Xuan: “…”

Chapter 367 The Emperor passed away!

Royal palace, royal garden.

While Song Xuan and others were discussing where to go for fun, Ji Xuanfeng and the old emperor were standing in the garden enjoying the scenery.

After a while, Ji Xuanfeng said calmly, "Dad, it's almost time to set off."

The old emperor looked much older, but his eyes were brighter than usual. He sighed and said, "After half a lifetime of listening to the emperor, this is the first time you call me dad."

"Restoring my sanity just to tell me it's time to get going?"

"When I'm in a daze, can't you just send me to death?"

Ji Xuanfeng looked at him with a complicated expression, "We are father and son. Before I die, I want you to have a good look at this world."

The old emperor was silent for a moment. "You may be able to hide your patricide from the world, but you can't hide it from Taizu. Do you really not care what Taizu thinks of you?"

"You still don't understand!"

Ji Xuanfeng shook his head, "What you have seen of this world is just a small part, and you have never paid attention to the truly vast world.

If there were no external enemies, your actions would actually be considered normal, but unfortunately, there is more to this world than just our Great Zhou.

The Great Zhou is the foundation of our human race in the martial arts world, and your actions over the years have begun to shrink this foundation."

Although the old emperor's vision was a little poor, his IQ was not bad. After a little thought, he figured out the key.

"So, I've shaken the foundation and must die as an atonement?"

Ji Xuanfeng nodded and said, "The position of the Son of Heaven belongs to the Ji family, but the Great Zhou does not belong solely to the Ji family. Whether you are dead or alive is irrelevant in the eyes of those great masters.

But my Ji family still has to show the right attitude.

I don't want Song Xuan and the Grandmasters behind him to think that my Ji family has no sense because of you!"

"Is it really that serious?" The old emperor couldn't understand. "The Great Zhou belongs to Taizu. Even if Song Xuan has amazing potential in the future, you are also a perfect master. Why do you have to act according to his wishes?"

Ji Xuanfeng chuckled, looked up at the sky, and said, "The Great Zhou belongs to Taizu, but this world does not! In fact, Taizu is only the spokesperson of heaven and earth, and the one from the Song family is the successor."

"The one from the Song family?"

The old emperor was a little confused, "The old man from the Song family?"

Ji Xuanfeng smiled and shook his head, "That's the one you ordered to be taken into the palace as a concubine!"

"is her?"

The old emperor was a little bit incredulous, then finally nodded in understanding, "So, this is the real reason why you want to kill your father?"

Ji Xuanfeng said calmly, "Your health is failing, and you only have a few months left to live. If you had been more obedient, you could have enjoyed the wealth and luxury of the world in these last few months.

But you’re so capable…”

He pointed his hand towards the sky and said, "If you don't die, I won't be able to explain myself!

Although it is certain that Grandmaster Wuque will become a Grandmaster, becoming a Martial Dao Celestial Being requires the support of the power of the origin of heaven and earth. Tell me, what can I do?"

The old emperor stopped talking and stared at the sky quietly, his eyes gradually dimming. "Unfortunately, my martial arts talent is limited, and I cannot understand the martial arts path you are pursuing.

Since I am blocking your way while I am alive, then I will just die as your father.

I only ask that for the sake of our father-son relationship, you can leave a way for your brothers and sisters to live!"

Ji Xuanfeng hummed, "The King of Wei must die. As for the others, as long as they don't commit suicide, I won't take the initiative to touch them!"

"enough!"

The old emperor spoke in a low voice, and after a moment's hesitation, he continued, "I gave the Emperor's Seal to your second brother, the King of Wei, two years ago. I'm sure you already know this. With your means, it won't be difficult to get it back.

My father has been busy with various calculations throughout his life and has some experience in imperial power.

I wanted to teach you everything before I abdicated, but now it seems that I have nothing left to teach you.

The experience I have accumulated is simply not suitable for this world!"

His face looked increasingly old. He struggled to raise his arm and patted Ji Xuanfeng on the shoulder. "Let our father-son relationship end here!"

As he finished speaking, his arms dropped, his breathing stopped, his life force was gone, and his heart pulse had been severed.

Ji Xuanfeng's expression did not change at all. He stepped out of the imperial garden and waved to one side.

The next moment, Cao Zhengchun led several young eunuchs carrying the coffin into the Imperial Garden...

After collecting the old emperor's body, Cao Zhengchun whispered, "Your Majesty, should the news of the Emperor's death be announced to the world now?"

Ji Xuanfeng pondered for a moment and asked, "Has Song Xuan left the capital?"

"Someone saw Victoria Song shopping on the street. She was probably getting ready to leave."

"Song Qian is going with us too?"

Ji Xuanfeng raised the corner of his mouth, "Then wait until they leave the capital before announcing the funeral. This is just a small matter, there's no need to affect their mood for fun."

......

The emperor has passed away.

This news came out from the palace the next day. At this time, Song Xuan was sitting on the back of a giant eagle, watching the clouds passing by in front of him.

This is an exclusive mount for the high-ranking members of the Xuanyi Guard, named the Golden-winged Eagle. It is said that it was once one of the demon tribe hundreds of years ago, and was later tamed by the Xuanyi Guard. Over generations, the demon bloodline has been diluted and it has become an exclusive mount.

Song Qian was on the back of the golden-winged eagle, curiously stroking its wings that were emitting a golden luster. Her touch was cold and as hard as a rock. With its wings spread out, it looked like a huge metal beast.

"Actually, I've thought about this before. Our world is rich in vitality, nourished by it year-round. So, there should be some powerful beasts.

But the last few times I went out, I didn't encounter any ferocious beasts at all. Now it seems that they have all been recruited by the Xuanyi Guards?"

"That's it!"

Song Xuan explained with a smile, "When a beast absorbs the energy of heaven and earth to a certain extent, it does have the chance to evolve into a demon beast.

But this process is too slow, and hundreds of years of hard work may not necessarily lead to the same level of achievement as humans who have practiced for decades.

Not to mention the Xuanyi Guards scattered across the country, there are countless warriors in the martial arts world. When they encounter some powerful beasts, they are immediately surrounded and killed by others. There is no environment for growth at all."

"Is that so..." Victoria Song said with some regret, "What a pity, I was planning to raise a dragon for fun."

"It's not impossible."

Song Xuan smiled and said, "The ocean is so vast, there will always be some giant pythons lurking in the sea. If you are willing to spend time and money to cultivate them, I dare not say about the dragon, but there is still a chance to cultivate a Jiao.

But the price-performance ratio is too low.

The resources spent are not proportional to the results obtained, and the time cost is too high. Even if the Xuanyi Guards are wealthy and powerful, they are unwilling to engage in such a loss-making business."

"oh....."

Victoria Song was a little disappointed, "It seems I don't have that fate!"

After he finished speaking, Song Xuan's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously looked towards the ocean below.

Chapter 368: Heavenly Demonic Technique

Looking down, I saw that there seemed to be an undercurrent surging in the boundless ocean below, causing the sound of rumbling thunder.

"Something's fighting in the sea?"

Victoria Song suddenly became excited, "Brother, they say that where the sea is big, dragons will appear. Do you think there might be one down there?"

Song Xuan stared at Song Qian again and again.

Ever since this sister was promoted to Grandmaster Wuque, her words and deeds seem to have an increasingly obvious impact on the world?

Is the girl of destiny really so outrageous?

Whatever you want, you get it?

At this moment, the rumbling thunder in the sea water became more and more intense, and there was even a howling wind. The raging storm rolled up angry waves, and two huge waves erupted like water columns. It could be vaguely seen that there were two huge monsters in the water column that seemed to be fighting.

Bang!

The water columns formed by the two huge waves kept colliding above the sea, causing huge crashes that shook the surrounding area and spread for hundreds of miles!

Song Xuan patted the head of the giant eagle under him. The golden-winged eagle slowed down very humanly, and flapped its metal-like wings gently twice, continuously lowering its altitude.

As they continued to descend, Victoria Song finally saw clearly what was fighting in the two large water columns.

A white snake and a giant octopus.

The white snake was extremely large, and the part that was exposed above the sea was as tall as five or six stories. The eyes on its head glowed with a faint emerald green light, like two lanterns, and the luster could be clearly seen even through the water column.

The octopus was much larger than the white snake. Its eight tentacles were like eight chains, constantly whipping the white snake through the water column.

The white snake was not willing to be outdone. Every time it swept its tail, it caused waves to surge, repelling the giant octopus's tentacles time and time again.

"Bravo!"

Victoria Song was even more excited. "Although the fighting scenes were horrific and lacked any beauty or skill, the power they unleashed was even stronger than the decisive battle between Ouyang Feng and the white-clothed man from the East China Sea."

Yao Yue nodded in agreement, "Just considering their physical strength, they're more than enough to fight against top-level masters!"

Lian Xing hadn't yet reached the Grandmaster realm, and looking at the two behemoths below, she felt a bit apprehensive. Pointing at the white snake, she said, "Look, there are two bumps on its head. Is it about to transform into a dragon?"

"There are indeed signs that it is about to transform into a dragon."

Song Xuan said, "According to the information I've read, if a snake transforms into a dragon, it can even fight against a Grandmaster. This giant octopus can fight the white snake to a draw, which seems to be quite extraordinary."

"But it's ugly!"

Victoria Song said with some disdain: "How can such an ugly thing be compared with the little white snake?"

Song Xuan glanced at her and said, "Get out of here, you beauty lover."

You look down on me, Squidward, right?

The golden-winged eagle was hovering above the two giant beasts. Song Qian smiled and clenched her fists, shouting down continuously.

"Come on, little white snake, beat it, beat it!"

The giant octopus seemed to understand human language and was quite annoyed by Song Qian's shouting. While fighting with the white snake, it even had enough strength to raise its head, open its mouth and suddenly spit out a water arrow into the sky.

The water arrow was not big, only about ten feet long, but the moment it shot out, it burst out with terrible power, and with the sound of rolling wind and thunder, it suddenly attacked Song Qian's side.

Song Qian smiled and stretched out her finger, lightly tapping it. There was a series of crackling sounds, and the water arrow that was shooting towards her suddenly stopped when it approached the tip of Song Qian's finger, and turned into an ice cone visibly to the naked eye.

"He's quite skilled, and he even knows how to perform mental attacks. It seems he's lived a long time!"

She snapped her fingers, and the ice cone turned into a white streak, which suddenly disappeared into the void. When it reappeared, it was firmly inserted into the mouth of the giant octopus, and its head was directly pierced!

The sound of flowing water is like a waterfall falling from the sky.

As the giant octopus gradually lost its vitality, the water column that wrapped it fell into the water again. With a splash, the giant octopus's huge body fell onto the sea surface.

But as soon as it fell into the sea, the octopus, which seemed to be dead, suddenly moved and began to drill into the deep sea desperately.

Victoria Song was amazed. "Even after getting his head pierced, he didn't die. How could his vitality be so strong?"

"I come!"

Yao Yue took action at this time.

Ever since she was promoted to the Grandmaster level of martial arts and cultivated the Heavenly Demon Incarnation, she has never had a head-on battle with a master and lacks a clear understanding of her own strength.

It's a rare opportunity to encounter such a powerful beast today, so I'll just use it to try my hand.

"The Great Demonic Technique!"

But Yao Yue started practicing his skills and raised his hand to slap the sea surface. In an instant, the blue sea surface began to turn dark. Faintly, it could be seen that in the dark sea water, a terrifying existence like a demon seemed to have awakened from its slumber.

A strange aura continued to spread, and even a perfect master like Song Qian had a serious expression at this moment. She knew that the reason why Yao Yue caught the old man's eye was definitely not just because of her good looks, but also because she must be very powerful.

But even though she already had some guesses in her heart, she still felt that she had underestimated her sister-in-law's true strength.

Wow!

A giant hand as black as ink stretched out from the sea. It was a palm condensed from endless sea water, and the patterns on the black palm could even be clearly seen.

At this moment, in this giant hand, the giant octopus that was nearly twenty feet long was held tightly like a chick. No matter how it struggled and screamed, it could not break free at all!

"Sister-in-law, can you mobilize the power of the ocean?"

Song Qian stared at the giant hand that was as black as ink and a hundred feet tall. In the ancestral orifice between her eyebrows, her soul subconsciously began to deduce.
