Lord of the Earth

Five thousand miles of dry summer, the fortune is surging.

The capital city of Baiyujing, with a diameter of 300 miles, is like a fairyland pearl inlaid on the eternal earth.

In the center of the city, a majestic palace complex stands proudly, surrounded by wisps of fairy air and gurgling water, interweaving into a dreamlike picture.

Above the dome, there are stars, as if the sky is hanging low, complementing the fairyland on earth.

The city walls are painted vermilion, showing their dignity and solemnity. The golden glazed tiles covering them sparkle under the sunlight, like thousands of golden rays of light shining brightly!
At the entrance to the "Four Symbols Avenue" in the center of the city wall, two powerful and majestic characters "Purple Forbidden City" are clearly visible!
hum!
The Azure Dragon, the Vermillion Bird, the Black Tortoise and the White Tiger are located at the center where four roads paved with jade of different colors, namely blue, black, white and red, all intersect.

Xia Tian sat on the dragon throne made of "exquisite jade" and rare gold, which was crafted by craftsmen including Gan Jiang, Moye and Huang Yueying, and was guarded by the phantoms of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise!

Inside the body is the "spiritual spring" in the Dantian. Each of these "creatures" has a different shape. Some are carp-like, and some are similar to dragons. They are playing and swimming in the pool, absorbing and exhaling the spiritual power of heaven and earth. Each one exudes a unique aura!
These "dragon carps and flood dragons" all represent the skills and special powers that Xia Tian has mastered now!
The "dragon carp" form represents that this technique is still at the master level, and it has transformed into a "dragon" form, which means that this technique has reached the grandmaster or even extraordinary level!

In addition, the sculpture in the center of the pool has also changed, except for the huge "five-clawed real dragon" with its head held high as the core.

There was also a black and gold dragon entwined around a long sword, emitting a sharp aura that could destroy everything, and its appearance was almost the same as that of a real dragon.

This represents his "Imperial Sword Skill" that has reached the saintly level!
After being upgraded to the Xuanhuang level, the most powerful aspect of "The Human Emperor's Dragon Riding Sutra" is that it can make one's own skills spiritual, and even enable self-"cultivation"!
In a sense, this kind of martial arts method is not reasonable at all!
Because, has anyone ever heard of a technique that can lead to self-growth?

Not to mention that with the blessing of "The Human Emperor's Dragon Riding Sutra", it is enough to enhance any low-level skills integrated into it, making its power comparable to the "Xuanhuang" level.

It is equivalent to improving the upper limit of all skills and techniques!

This is undoubtedly even more outrageous.

However, this seems understandable.

After all, "The Human Emperor's Dragon Riding Manual" is a "skill" formed by the dragon energy of the yellow dragon and the popularity of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi, which are strengthened together!
Judging from the previous scenes, both Emperor Xuanyuan and the yellow dragon are among the best among the gods.

In addition, this technique also involves the evolution of part of the luck of Zhao Yun, the "Zilong", and the First Emperor, the "Zulong"!

Now, as the ruler of the Xia Dynasty, his own luck must also be integrated into this set of exercises.

Therefore, only one month away from upgrading his skills, he had already achieved "the fifth level of perfection" by relying on this set of skills.

Start trying to reach the "Saint" level!
Yes, it has been a month since the founding of the Qianxia Dynasty.

When the one-year period arrives.

The scene of "unlocking of heaven and earth" and the coming of the saint did not happen as originally expected, which made everyone's preparations go to waste.

Perhaps, for some reason, the creatures in the Land of Eternity had more time to improve themselves, and many people in the Qianxia Dynasty had the opportunity to become "Saints".

"Although the five extraordinary realms are called 'quasi-saints', there is still a big gap between them and saints! The biggest reason is that saints can build their own 'holy domain', thereby changing the surrounding environment and creating a battlefield that best suits them..."

"Even on this battlefield, one can condense his powerful consciousness into a mighty army. One person can destroy a stronghold and capture a city, comparable to an army..."

Xia Tian's expression was serious.

Perhaps, judging from the personal combat capability of a saint alone, he is not yet able to completely crush the "quasi-saints" of the fifth realm.

But once all kinds of blessings are taken into account, the strength of both sides is not at the same level!

Of course, it is not possible to build a "holy domain" as powerful as that of the Saint of Catastrophe at the beginning.

To do anything, one needs to proceed step by step. Now if Xia Tian wants to advance to the "Sixth Realm of Transcendence", what he needs is to build his own "Holy Map".

The so-called "holy map" is the lowest level of realm.

As the name suggests, it is like a "map" itself. Once released, it can affect the "world" within a certain area around it, thereby constructing a "battlefield" that best suits itself, and can turn any area into its home court.

The "holy picture" constructed by each person is different.

This has to do with each person's skills, life experiences, and even their talents, special powers, and magical abilities!

For example, if Xia Tian himself wanted to construct the "Holy Picture", there were several aspects to consider.

First of all, of course, a "Human Emperor Riding the Dragon Picture" was constructed using the "Human Emperor Riding the Dragon Sutra", a mysterious and yellow quality innate skill!
"An ordinary dragon carp is equivalent to the level... a flood dragon is equivalent to the extraordinary level. Once it evolves into a 'true dragon', it should have the combat power of a 'saint' level."

Each of these dragons is essentially an evolution of "skills and techniques". Once unleashed in battle, their killing power is self-evident.

Now, he has become the true "Man King" and can better mobilize the fortune of the dynasty under his control. With the combination of the two, any enemy will be greatly suppressed!
"If I could control hundreds of 'real dragons', it wouldn't be that difficult for me to fight ten saints of the same level alone, right?"

Of course, this is a bit "delusional" for ordinary people.

To reach the extraordinary state, the main thing is to “cultivate the mind”!
The reason is that whether it is constructing and maintaining the holy map or "riding the dragon", it requires great mental strength.

In fact, strictly speaking, it is a "phenomenon" that is manifested by the practitioner's "mental power" combined with his techniques and skills.

Therefore, every time a "vision" is added to the holy map, the mental burden on oneself will increase.

Therefore, the scope and quality of the "holy picture" that can be constructed are actually affected by the power of the mind.

Even the Saint of Catastrophe at that time could only create hundreds of "Eight-Armed Flame Demons" at most!
"But I'm different."

"Because compared to others, I have another advantage..."

Summer's face glows.

That is, the "power of the mind" is far stronger than that of ordinary people.

This is because he mastered another skill, the secret method of "Xinxue" created by the last sage Wang Yangming.

"The existence of Xinxue allows me to improve my mental power by learning techniques and skills; and the increased mental power strengthens the techniques and cultivation... In this way, I can step on my left foot and ascend straight to the sky!"

Of course, this is just an exaggerated metaphor.

In fact, even the study of the mind would not allow Xia Tian to practice "skills and techniques" without limits!
Especially the "Xinxue" was what he had "learned in the City of Human Race" and it was an extraordinary level of practice and did not have a chapter on the realm of saints.

But it's not a big problem.

Just because, don’t forget the heroes that Bai Yujing had previously brought in from the “City of Heroes”.

There is still one heavyweight who has not officially arrived!
And that person is none other than Wang Yangming, the founder of the School of Mind. He cannot enter the eternal land. This means that the other party has reached the "holy realm" and needs to wait until the world is unlocked before he can officially "enter the world"!
"And if I use my own special power as a basis, I can also construct the 'Heavenly Thunder Destruction Diagram' or the 'Five Elements Creation Diagram', and even combine the two to construct a more powerful 'Holy Diagram'..."

Xia Tian looked towards his dantian, and saw a silver dragon representing the "thunder power", and a "five-colored dragon" representing the power of the five elements, each occupying a corner of the "pool".

The powerful aura emanating from his body made even the dragon carp avoid him!

"The Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation during the founding of the country gave me great inspiration. I originally thought that the power of the Five Elements and the power of the Thunder Tribulation were two separate arts, but I didn't expect that they could be perfectly integrated together..."

Xia Tian stretched out his hand. Two dragons appeared in his palm, and the power of thunder and lightning from his mouth merged with the power of the five elements to form a sphere.

It doesn't look big, just the size of a fist.

However, the destructive power it contains is enough to make an extraordinary strong man "seriously injured" or even "reduced to ashes"!
"This kind of power completely simulates the power of the heavenly tribulation...it's close to divine power!"

Although it is only close to supernatural powers, it is not yet a true supernatural power.

But in terms of practicality it may be more powerful than "supernatural powers"!
Because supernatural powers themselves are not something that ordinary people can master.

Even if a saint uses his supernatural powers, he still needs to pay a certain price!

Therefore, although the Eternal Prodigy is endowed with magical powers, these magical powers are almost all subject to various restrictions.

To use a more game-like term, it means having a "cooling time"!
But the special power is different. It is a power bestowed by the eternal will and then controlled by the living beings themselves!
Theoretically, you can continue to use it as long as your body can support it.

“Although I don’t know whether I can hurt the Saint, at least the fifth level of transcendence will not dare to enter the territory of our Qianxia Dynasty at will…”

Xia Tian clenched his hands, and the five-colored thunder power dissipated, and a five-dragon robe with golden cloud patterns appeared on his body.

Walking out of the secret room for practice, one step outside, the roof suddenly changed.

It has already appeared in a garden.

What meets the eye are hundreds of colorful and exotic flowers and plants of various shapes, some are like flames, some are like ice... They bloom against the seasons and are lush and green!

And in the center, there was another person wearing a blue dress as white as water.

Standing on the lake where the fragrant white lotus is swaying, he is holding a golden bottle in his hand and "casting a spell to bring rain".

Drops of dew emitting surging vitality flew around and fell on the flowers, causing them to bloom one after another, and then attracted thousands of golden bees to fly among them.

It is like a golden embellishment, extremely beautiful.

"Your Majesty, you are out of seclusion!"

When Qingwen saw Xia Tian, ​​she immediately stopped what she was doing and bowed.

This is the Imperial Garden!
Only a few buildings from the original Forbidden City have been preserved.

For example, this Imperial Garden is one of them!

The "quality" of any "flowers and plants" planted in this area will be easier to improve due to the gathering of luck, and may even be able to advance directly.

Combined with Qingwen's own "flower god" characteristics, they complement each other even more.

"Well, you have taken good care of it. But you don't need to work too hard. This imperial garden itself has the ability to promote the growth of flowers and plants. You are also a lady-in-waiting in the palace, so you can leave it to the servants. There is no need to do it yourself..."

Xia Tian nodded at Qingwen.

Qingwen now also holds an official position.

Because it once cultivated important plants such as golden dragon marrow grass, fragrant white lotus seeds, etc.

Qingwen obtained an official position above the second rank, which was very high for a maid; even Azhu was only ranked "lower second rank"!
"By the way, where is Ah Zhu?"

"Azhu went out with Miss Wang to relax..."

Qingwen said.

After the founding ceremony of the country and the killing of Murong Fu by the Qianxia Dynasty, Wang Yuyan was really depressed for a while.

For this reason, Ah Zhu asked Xia Tian to take Wang Yuyan out for a walk.

There is nothing wrong with summer.

"Where's Miss Huang?"

Xia Tian said again.

"Miss Huang has selected some clever women to enter the palace and is currently training them..."

As the former "cook" of Xia Tian, ​​Huang Rong's current status has naturally risen. She is already the "chief of internal affairs" of the entire "Forbidden City"!
This Forbidden City is integrated with the "Humanitarian Palace" and has the ability to consume the power of faith to generate certain "characteristics". Xia Tian deliberately gave it the "dust-free" characteristic, so it does not require too many people to manage and clean it.

However, the huge Forbidden City has tens of thousands of rooms and hundreds of palaces. In addition to being used for accommodation, there are many places that need to be opened for handling government affairs and even for approaching envoys from foreign races!
Therefore, a lot of people are needed.

After being appointed as the "General Manager" by Xia Tian, ​​Huang Rong began to select some women to "enter the palace" to serve as maids!
"After Miss Rong sought advice from Mr. Wen, she decided to build the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to the 'Six Departments and Twenty-four Departments' of the Tang Dynasty!"

Qingwen said.

So-called six departments and twenty-four bureaus.

It is the "female official" system in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

After all, there were a large number of women in the palace. In order to facilitate management, certain yamen and corresponding female officials were set up. The structure was a "house office" with "six bureaus" under it, which in turn had "twenty-four departments" under it!
"Well, let's do it this way."

After listening to Qingwen's story, Xia Tian nodded.

There is no order without rules. To manage tens of thousands of people, certain regulations are indeed needed.

Moreover, these female officials are only official positions, but they do not occupy "official positions", so they do not need to consume luck to maintain them! (End of this chapter)
