"So that's how it is? Such a woman, if given the chance, we really should meet. " As his cultivation grew deeper and deeper and his knowledge expanded, he could no longer be compared to that ignorant youth. He could feel that those illusory ancient immortal dao, the Outer Mysterious Gate, was actually nothing special. They were not really isolated deities, nor were they aloof and aloof from the mortal world. Instead, they had deep ties with the secular world.

This was because those sects also needed to absorb fresh blood to come to the secular world to accept disciples and to select geniuses. Virtually all of the cultivation geniuses that came along with them were born in the secular world, and as the saying goes, there is only elegance if there is something extraordinary, there is only justice if there is something extraordinary about it.

It was impossible to reach a high level of cultivation with only one's heart and soul in cultivation, regardless of one's worldly affairs or one's martial arts skills.

Cultivation was cultivation of the heart. Hong Yu had long since understood this principle.

"Oh right, with my cultivation level, if I were to enter the Transforming Immortal Path, what kind of status would the Three Thousand Mysterious Gate have?" Curious, he asked Jiang Lisha.

"You are at the third level of the Divine Treasure realm, and you are in the Elephant Qi realm? If he broke through to the fourth level of the Divine Aura, the Qi Condensation stage, the Qi Condensation stage, and the Qi Condensation stage, his whole body would take on the shape of a human, and his strength would be enhanced by several times, then he would have the qualifications to compete for the inner disciples. He would be at the fifth level of the Divine Aura Realm, his body would be at the Astral Realm, but if he was a Copper Bone, then he would be an undisputed inner disciple.

A true disciple is the core strength of the sect. In a sense, they can even be considered to be on equal footing with many elders and hold great power. They can be considered to be of a very high level and above that are the Holy Son, the Holy Maiden, a small giant, and an eternal small heavyweight … "

Jiang Liushuo said:

Most people can borrow various heaven and earth treasures to build their strength up to the fifth level of the Divine Stash Vajra Indestructible, an iron body with copper skin. But once they reach the six stages of the Divine Stash, the inner organs, the friction of their inner energy, the igniting of their True Flames, and the burning of their internal organs will all become uncontrollable, and all sorts of dangers and dangers, if one is not careful, one's body can ignite on its own and turn into ashes. As for the seven stages of the Divine Stash, it is even more difficult. "The proportion of martial practitioners between the fifth and sixth stages is about one in a hundred. If one is between the sixth and seventh stages, there is not even one in a thousand kilometers …

"Those people who are known as the Holy Maiden of the Holy Son, those big shots, they are all people above the Divine Repositories. Those who are at the martial arts realm, able to link up with the Heaven and Earth, are already seizing the good fortune of the heaven and earth. Even if it is a master at the peak of the ninth level of the Spirit Storage Realm, their lifespan will only be around one hundred and eighty years. Furthermore, after the age of two hundred and sixty years, they will age very quickly, and their Qi and blood will decline. Within one night, their Qi will be gone. " Mo Ningxiang also interrupted, "I once saw an ancestor of our Mo family cultivate to the ninth level of the Divine Stash, with his soul and aura in perfect harmony, but on the day he reached 120 years of age, his qi dissipated and he turned into an ordinary old man. At the end he could not bear to commit suicide."

"This is a law that is close to a curse, it's impossible for any martial artist to get rid of it. There is still hope to grow, let alone humans. Even if one is strong as a god, there will still come a day when one falls." Hong Yu was filled with emotion. Suddenly, his heart stirred and he couldn't help but think of Emperor Hongwu.

"Come on, let's go back. This trip was not in vain after all. It can be said that we've personally witnessed a magnificent and prosperous era."

Seeing the three leave, the experts who had been watching the entrance of the "Qi Tian Merchant Guild" also quickly walked in.

"Crown Prince, they left. Should we continue to watch? " Within the merchant guild, a middle-aged man wearing a large scaled armor walked to the front of Hong Anjian in a serene courtyard and knelt on one knee, preparing to make his report.

"Watch them." In between the creaking sounds, the exquisite porcelain cup shattered into pieces and shot out, fiercely pinning them to the ground. "Especially those two lowly maidservants, Mo Ning Xiang and Jiang Li Shuo, after I captured them, I wanted to turn them into a cauldron, harvest them clean, and send them to the army's brothel, allowing countless soldiers to ravage them day and night, making them want to die! As for the Mo family and the Li Que Wonderland, I want to exterminate them all, leaving behind some survivors. I will become a slave for generations after generations, never to recover … "

Hearing such a vicious curse from Hong Jian, the middle-aged armored man trembled all over. His hair stood on end, but he did not dare to refute and defy the order. He could only accept the order: "Then, how about we make a move now and find an opportunity to capture these two women first?"

"Not now, not at all. The Emperor was currently guarding the border, waiting for the construction of the Great Wall. Who would dare to mess around with the foundation laying ceremony? I have received news that there is a secret organization under that damn eunuch, Zhao Gao. There are countless experts and scouts with eyes spread throughout the area. If we take the opportunity to make a move, we will definitely be discovered and suffer at the first possible moment. " He licked his lips as a bright light shone in his eyes: "Grass snake, grey line, a thousand li hidden vein, a net of sticky rods, like maggots attached to the bone …" These words are very interesting. I never thought that even the person who calls himself 'Heavenly Emperor' would be able to establish such a dark and bloody organization. It looks like this world is much bigger, deeper and more interesting than I had imagined … "

"Where's the stick?" What kind of organization is this? Why have I never heard of it before? " The middle-aged man was confused and was about to ask, "Your Highness, what do we do now?"

"Alright, there are some things that you don't need to know. Just wait and see. Although there's no chance right now, the time will come eventually." Hong Jian waved his hand: "Where is Fairy Luo?"

"Lead the way, Your Highness!" The middle-aged man in armor hurriedly scolded the servant beside him.

Watching Hong Jian leave, the middle-aged man had a thoughtful look on his face. He walked out and muttered to himself, "This master is getting more and more vicious, even though he has a Bodhi Heart, he has the character of an Asura Demon Ghost. He seems to have cultivated a demonic technique and his temperament has signs of a drastic change. Who would have thought that he would actually know the "location of the stick"? It seemed like there was a spy in the organization? "Hurry up and report everything to Lord Zhao, we have no time to delay …"

"..."

In the evening, in the middle of the evening, the entire emperor's palace that was reflected in the sunlight was like a divine kingdom. It glittered with pure light and was filled with a sense of holiness and solemnity.

Emperor Hongwu was sitting on his desk in the "Hall of Career". He was still reviewing the memorial, looking like an indefatigable machine.

The cabinet ministers followed suit, completely following Emperor Hong Wu's lead. Each and every one of them was a hundred times more spirited than the previous ones. Many of the major events of the world had been approved by them.

"Dong Yong!" Emperor Hong Wu suddenly stopped and threw the jade pen onto the table.

"This official is here." Dong Yong rose to his feet. "What orders does His Majesty have?"

This top scorer of the imperial examinations, as well as a newly promoted cabinet minister, was called "a powerful figure" by the Buddhist Clay Buddha. His every move had the air of a Confucian scholar, slightly refined, upright, and filled with righteousness.

"There's a memorial here, the First Prince said that the people from the Jiang family from the Li Que Wonderland call the King a bandit and kill people everywhere in the world, and Duke Yu is covering up for the culprit, hoping that the imperial government will capture and interrogate the young master of the Li Que Wonderland, Jiang Licheng. What do you think?" Emperor Hongwu threw the imperial report to Dong Yong.

Dong Yong took the memorial and read it carefully. He considered it for a moment and said, "This subject has heard of a rumor, the First Prince has guarded the customs for many years and his influence is strong, it is unknown how many hanger-ons and subordinates he has recruited. They are all people from the martial arts world, and there are many among them who are ambitious people. There are some people who wish to sow dissension between the First Prince and the Thirty-sixth Prince, and the relationship between the two brothers cannot be ruled out.

"Speaking of which, you can already be considered to be discussing my 'domestic affairs'." Emperor Hong Wu laughed: "If your words were to spread out, aren't you afraid of offending boss?" "I understand what you mean by that. You're saying that Eldest Brother had formed a personal faction and secretly raised his own hanger-ons, making friends with people with unclean backgrounds."

"This official is only speaking the truth." However, Dong Yong could also tell that this was a joke from Emperor Hongwu, so he didn't panic in the slightest. His expression didn't even change in the slightest.

"This subject and the rest do not dare to spread the news." The other ministers immediately stood up as well.

"It's fine." Emperor Hong Wu pressed his hand down, and gestured for everyone to sit down: "I know that boss is cultivating the Seventy-second Transformation Art of the Ancient Sky Sage, and also the secret scripture of the Demonic Way," Heavenly Imperial Palace ". He wants to raise his cultivation as fast as possible and become one with the elements, become one with the elements, and then master this technique in one fell swoop. Last time, I called him into the capital, reprimanded him, and gave him a punishment to stop him from pondering over it. He just wanted him to repent and show some restraint, but who would have thought that he would come up with something like that today. "

The entire hall was silent, not daring to reply. This was the second time Emperor Hong Wu had expressed his dissatisfaction with this eldest son of his when he faced the entire imperial court.

None of them were stupid. Instead, they were all people who excelled in favors. They were as tactful as ghosts and knew how to comprehend the divine intent.

"Dong Yong, prepare the decree." Emperor Hong Wu suddenly said.

"Yes sir!" Dong Yong hurriedly took up his brush and dipped it into the ink as he brewed, listening to Emperor Hong Wu speak of the decree.

In addition, she is in charge of leading the entire Li Que Paradise to surrender to the imperial government. On the surface, there are millions of people living in the Li Que Paradise, and on the surface, it is a small country, but if one is recruited now, it can become a county, called "Li Que County". This county's imperial court does not directly govern it, but rather remains under the control of the Jiang family. As Emperor Hongwu spoke, Dong Yong immediately continued, "If that's the case, Boss, you won't be able to easily get your hands on this Heavenly Passage. "But it is not enough. In addition, there is another reason. Let the Feng family wait for the army to guard this county. Jiang Lishuo is a vassal of the Feng family, so he can control this group of ancient family members and protect them."

"Du Hou?" When Sun Qing, the first courtier, heard this decree, his eyelids twitched as he thought to himself, "Impressive." Many of the court officials were also shocked, seeing through this. This was the Marquis of Iron Blood, the Duke of Dragon and Crane, the Duke of Arrows, the Marquis of Heaven Bearing, the Marquis of Spring and Autumn … They were all known as the Twelve Generals or the Pillars of the Empire. They were all figures who were like the "Great Pillar Nation"; with heavy soldiers in their hands, they were the founders of their nation that had fought alongside Emperor Hong Wu. They were unfathomably deep.

The Dragon Crane Marquis was needless to say, it was known for being naturally blessed by the heavens. His mother had felt it in her dreams, seeing the strange creature born from the coitus of dragons and cranes, a gifted genius with a supreme posture, guarding the border for decades, pressuring countless foreign forces to the point of not being able to breathe, and countless battles of various sizes, claiming to be invincible.

The same was true for the Iron-Blood Marquis. He had killed countless enemies with the help of the Iron Blood Banner, which was known as' A hundred thousand men of the barbarian army, not even a single one of the Iron Banner '. A few decades ago, he had been responsible for repairing the canal. The champion was a white-robed Confucian general with peerless fighting strength. It was said that "Tens of thousands of men and horses dodge the white robe", as well as the divine archers and the Sky Bearing dukes. They were all familiar characters …

The achievements and fame of the dukedom were no longer beneath those of these people. Although they had been unknown for years, and had always been in charge of the Fengdu City, with no soldiers or generals in their hands, they were like a mysterious king walking in the dark, a figure that no one could ignore.

It was rumored that the ancient gods and devils had signed a contract. The Evil Gods were the last piece of devilish land left behind in the human world by the devils of hell, and it was completely dead, with only the dead and devils existing side by side.

This city took up more than half of the territory of the You Prefecture. It was incomparably vast, and one would never be able to see the light of day again. The city was shrouded in a deathly black mist, and no one knew what terrifying existences were wandering within. According to the rumors, this city was the only way to connect hell and the human world.

Since ancient times, even though the Evil Gods were sealed by the Gods, there were still various dark and savage demons that would occasionally climb out of the Fengdu City, setting off mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the world, causing a calamity that was difficult to deal with even after generations. There were even many saints, and ancient immortals that had descended here before to seal it, making it useless for them.

After Emperor Hongwu ascended the throne, he ordered his men to survey the direction of the veins in the entire Spirit Continent and set up a grand formation, completely suppressing the city and isolating it from the outside world.

However, Hou Hou was an exception. He was the spokesperson of the Hongwu Emperor and had been stationed in the Fengdu City for a long time, accompanying the dead spirits and demons. He had to suppress all kinds of unlucky situations and prevent the terrifying existences in the Fengdu City from crawling out again.

In the past, with the Fengdu City, the entire Youzhou was barren, desolate, and even more deathly silent than the wilderness. With the Fengdu City suppressed, it was completely peaceful. With the imperial government unbridled development, the population would migrate to the past, the people would flourish, and the cities would be numerous, becoming a rich and prosperous place. This was one of the achievements of the Hongwu Emperor, and it was enough to leave its name forever.

When the Hongwu Emperor was still a disciple of the Creation Mysterious Gate, he had always been by his side. Back then, when the Hongwu Emperor was fighting the world, he had fallen to the bottom of the valley several times and had to rely on his steadfast support. It could be said that he was very loyal, and other than the orders of the Hongwu Emperor, not to mention the First Prince Hong Qi Tian, even the current crown prince couldn't do anything to him.

The Du Family spent most of their time in the ghost city of Fengdu. They were all alone and unknown, but no one could deny this man's position in the Emperor's heart.

"Your majesty has changed his appearance to increase the power of the thirty-sixth prince, establishing a relationship between him and the Fengdu Marquis. It could be said that he is scheming on the part of the emperor." This way, the First Prince will suffer greatly. Not only will he lose his face, he will also lose his saint's family … "
