Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 950 The changing situation
Looking at Prince Ning and his entourage hurriedly leaving the city, the remaining two princes couldn't help but frown.

They all have information that the Hundred Flowers Valley has been occupied by the disciples of the Hehuan Demon Sect and is heavily guarded.

However, the strength of the Hehuan Demon Sect is quite powerful. Its sect leader, the old demon Hehuan, has reached the late stage of fusion, and there are many supreme elders in the sect who are also in the fusion stage.

It is said that within their sect, there is still an extremely old antique who is still alive. He was a great man who was active in the same era as their Great Yu Kingdom's former emperor Taizu.

Such existence is probably second only to the Mahayana stage strongmen. It is no exaggeration to say that they are half-step Mahayana. Even ordinary cultivators who have reached the perfection of the fusion stage may not be able to deal with them.

Therefore, the battle in Baihua Valley is not easy to fight. Whoever arrives earlier will not be able to seize the initiative.

If you are too eager for quick success, you may suffer an unimaginable blow!
"Prince Ning's nephew is so anxious, could he be planning to win over the eight heavenly cavalry who have already left the city?" Prince Huai said coldly.

The white-haired Prince An shook his head and said, "The Thirteen Heavenly Cavalry Divisions only obey the orders of the Emperor, and they will not side with anyone else."

"Unless a great leader emerges from among the thirteen divisions of the Heavenly Cavalry, he can truly lead the thirteen divisions that are fighting on their own."

"Now it seems that only Brother Li Yang has this opportunity."

The thirteen divisions of the Heavenly Cavalry of the Dayu Kingdom were suppressed in different parts of the territory. They seldom had the chance to meet each other on weekdays, and basically no one could control anyone else. Only events like this one in the Hundred Flowers Valley would attract many divisions of the Heavenly Cavalry to gather together.

The Thirteen Divisions of Tianqi are all truly elite soldiers and generals, strong men strictly selected from various states and counties. Each of them has experienced the trials of blood and fire and can be called the spearhead of the Dayu Kingdom.

In order to become the commander-in-chief of the Thirteen Tianqi Divisions, at least two conditions must be met. The first condition is to have sufficient qualifications in the Thirteen Tianqi Divisions; the second condition is to achieve the fusion stage and defeat the combined forces of the other twelve cavalry divisions head-on.

If the current Prince Li Yang could successfully advance to the fusion stage, he would have a good chance of accomplishing this feat.

"He has the true blood of a unicorn and is the commander of the Heavenly Cavalry. Father really loves his brother Li Yang." Prince Huai sighed. The Thirteen Heavenly Cavalry Divisions were obviously the team that their father had left for Prince Li Yang. He had seen this clue when the prince entered the Thirteen Heavenly Cavalry Divisions for training.

Fortunately, their father was fair and still gave them a fair chance to compete for the heir to the throne.

Even though Prince Li Yang could become the commander-in-chief of the Thirteen Tianqi Divisions, he still had no fiefdom and had not yet truly built up his own power. Therefore, it would be difficult for him to gain a real advantage in the battle for Baihua Valley.

At this point, the two princes and their elite troops left the city and headed towards Baihua Valley.

In the distance, in the Hundred Flowers Valley which was still filled with demonic energy, a large number of troops from the Hehuan Demon Sect were stationed here.

The top leaders of the Hehuan Demon Sect had already received news of the Dayu Kingdom's undisguised actions.

A fierce battle is about to come. The three kings are leading their elite troops to attack Baihua Valley. If they fail to defend it, many crucial cultivation resources will be lost in the future.

At the top of the mountain, Qin Yu, the young master of the Hehuan Demon Sect, who had previously fought with Li Qing, was leisurely sipping spiritual tea.

"Alas, if only we could have kept that kid here before, I didn't expect it would lead to such trouble, and it happened so quickly."

Hearing Qin Yu sighing repeatedly, an old man drinking tea with him chuckled and said, "Young Sect Master, there is no need to blame yourself so much. The old emperor of Dayu Kingdom only used the Hundred Flowers Valley as a means to choose an heir."

"If you want to take over Baihua Valley with only three princes in the Fusion Stage, then you are too disrespectful to our Hehuan Sect. It is simply wishful thinking."

However, Qin Yu still shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that after the defeat of these three princes, the Great Yu Kingdom will still not give up. If we can restore this Hundred Flowers Valley to its former blessed land, it will be a great temptation."

The ruddy-faced old man slowly put down the jade-fat teacup and said nonchalantly, "Even so, there is no need to be so pessimistic. If the Great Yu Kingdom dares to fight, do we really have no choice but to give in?"

"The leader has already sent a letter to the Linghu tribe and Jiyuan Island. As long as it's not their Emperor Taizu who comes in person, there's nothing to worry about."

"Even if that great emperor came in person, the Linghu tribe has been worshipping a true ancestor for generations!"

As we spoke of this, several plumes of dust were seen rising in the distance.

Young Sect Master Qin Yu suddenly stopped drinking tea, he squinted his eyes and looked into the distance with a hint of coldness.

"Here they come. They should be the Thirteen Cavalrymen of Dayu. They are so fierce and powerful. They are truly an unrivaled army."

"Using such a national defense army as the vanguard, it seems that Dayu is really determined to take over the Hundred Flower Valley."

At this point, Qin Yu shouted in a deep voice:
“All disciples and elders from Miaoyu Hall, Lianxin Hall, and Xuesha Peak, follow me and fight together!”

After saying that, Qin Yu took the lead and rushed out of Baihua Valley. The sound of breaking air continued to be heard behind him, and the disciples and elders who had just been called out all rushed out with him.

In Yujing City, the vast thunderstorm in the sky has come to an end.

His Highness Li Yang slowly emerged from the thick calamity clouds. He looked a little disheveled, his hair was disheveled, his black armor was damaged in many places, and there were many wounds on his body.

Fortunately, it is over. Although he suffered serious injuries, he finally entered the fusion period!
"Successful! His Highness Li Yang has made it through. He has truly advanced to the Fusion Stage!"

"Hiss, how old is His Highness Li Yang? It seems that he is less than three thousand years old?"

"To be exact, it should be 2,669 years. At this age, he has entered the fusion stage. His future is limitless."

"The initiation of the Heavenly Dao is about to begin, and a glow is emerging from the sky!"

“I wonder how many rounds of Heavenly Dao Initiations His Highness Li Yang can trigger with his talent. The more times you receive such initiations, the greater the benefits!”

"The benefits of Qilin's true blood are really enviable. I heard that every time a pure-blooded Qilin breaks through a realm, it can trigger nine Heavenly Dao initiations. It is truly a beast favored by heaven."

"."

As rays of light fell on Prince Li Yang, his aura, which had just been breaking through and was a little messy and frivolous, quickly stabilized.

In the blink of an eye, three rounds of Heavenly Dao initiation had been completed, and Prince Li Yang's aura suddenly became quite condensed and stable, and he didn't even need to waste time to consolidate his foundation.

Seeing this scene, all the cultivators in Yujing City showed envy and wished they could take his place.

The Heavenly Dao Initiation is equivalent to the Dao’s blessing to the Qilin. As long as one has the Qilin’s true blood in his body, he can enjoy it.

The first three initiations are to consolidate the foundation, the next three initiations will respectively strengthen the soul, magic power, and body, and the last three initiations will continuously improve the magic power cultivation!

The number of times of initiation depends on the concentration of Qilin blood in the body and one's own talent and endowment.

Pure-blooded Qilins are able to trigger nine Heavenly Dao initiations, so true spirit Qilins rarely have a period of weakness and can quickly cultivate to the level of Void Refinement Stage almost as soon as they are born.

If it is not a pure-blooded Qilin, and only has Qilin's true blood in the body, if one wants to obtain enough initiations, he can only rely on his own talent and endowment.

According to the current records of the Dayu Kingdom, only the former Emperor Taizu had initiated the Heavenly Dao Initiation eight times, while the current Emperor of Dayu stopped at the seventh Heavenly Dao Initiation.

As the colorful glow in the sky became increasingly richer and brighter, in full view of everyone, Prince Li Yang finally received his sixth initiation.

His spirit and energy were completely sublimated, and all the injuries he had just suffered in the heavenly tribulation were completely recovered, and his entire state reached the peak. "The sixth Heavenly Dao Initiation, does that mean the seventh Heavenly Dao Initiation is coming?"

"It's really coming, a golden glow is faintly about to land!"

"This is comparable to His Majesty the Emperor. His Highness Li Yang, who rushed through the barrier in a hurry, was actually able to attract the Seven Wheels of Heavenly Dao Initiation."

"No! The golden glow has not fully appeared!"

"Hiss, the seventh ray of light is fading and dissipating with the wind."

"Six initiations is quite amazing. The purity of the Qilin blood in Prince Li Yang's body should not be very strong."

"."

After the initiation, Prince Li Yang showed a look of regret. If he could receive the seventh initiation, he would be able to quickly narrow the gap with the other three princes.

Soon, a eunuch from the palace approached quickly, holding a purple-gold imperial edict in both hands respectfully.

He shouted loudly: "The imperial edict has arrived!"

Upon seeing this, Prince Li Yang quickly landed on the ground and made a very standard gesture to receive the imperial edict.

"Appoint the Thirteenth Prince as the King of Liyang, grant him the Hexia County and Anhe County, and reward him with 300,000 spirit stones."

With a host of rewards coming his way, this prince was finally crowned king, becoming the fourth prince of the Dayu Kingdom in this generation!

But right now he certainly has no time to manage his own fiefdom, because the fight for the throne is far more important than that.

After receiving the imperial edict, His Highness Li Yang, who had just completed his advancement, did not stay for long. He went straight to the direction of Taishu Academy in Yujing City.

boom!
As soon as he advanced to the fusion stage, he was able to use his magical power to travel across the world with just a thought. In a blink of an eye, his figure appeared thousands of miles away.

Soon, the figure of His Majesty Li Yang descended from the sky above Taishu Academy.

At this time, many disciples who had just entered the academy showed respect, bowed their heads and clasped their fists and said, "Greetings, King Li Yang!"

"No gift!"

After saying that, he went straight to Dean Chen's cave, his purpose was obvious.

He didn't dare to put on airs here. He bowed with great respect in front of the cave and said, "Disciple Li Yang wants to see Master Chen!"

He did not address him as Dean Chen, but called him Master Chen directly, which made many new disciples of Taishu Academy look surprised.

"I heard that every prince in the palace was enlightened and educated by the dean, who was considered a guide for these princes on the path of cultivation."

"I see. I thought Prince Li Yang also studied at the Imperial Academy."

"How is it possible? The Imperial Academy was originally established for ordinary cultivators like us who have no background. If the princes and princesses of the royal family were allowed to practice in the academy, how could we compete?"

"Thanks to Dean Chen, it was he who facilitated this matter. Otherwise, if we wanted to make a name for ourselves, we would have to either join those aristocratic families, join the army, or be recruited by other ministers. Otherwise, we would have to become independent cultivators."

"It seems that His Highness Li Yang is planning to win over Dean Chen. I wonder if the Dean will agree."

His Highness Li Yang, who was standing in front of Dean Chen's cave, was not received by Dean Chen. The only response he got was a light voice:
"Your Highness, please go back. I will not participate in the competition for the throne."

Although it was expected, after hearing this answer, His Highness Li Yang still inevitably revealed a look of regret.

If he could get help from Dean Chen, his chances of winning would be much greater.

He did not continue to try to persuade Dean Chen because he knew his teacher's character. Once a decision was made, no one could change it.

Soon, he arrived at the area where the teachers of Taishu Academy lived.

"Is there any teacher in the academy willing to follow me? If I ascend to the throne, there will be a great reward in the future!"

All the teachers, including Li Qing, looked at each other and did not respond to the prince who had just been promoted.

His Highness Li Yang did not show much emotion when he saw this. He just sighed and clasped his fists towards everyone: "Sorry for bothering you. Goodbye!"

Looking at the figure of the new prince, Li Qing couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Once upon a time, this prince was his defeated opponent, but unexpectedly, after such a short period of time, he advanced to the fusion stage and became the fourth prince of the Dayu Kingdom.

"The blood of the Qilin is really so extraordinary." Li Qing sighed.

It was naturally impossible for him to accept the recruitment of His Highness Li Yang. From now on, he would have to spend all his time practicing two immortal arts and refining the Seven Wonderful Immortal Trees. He could not be distracted by other things.

If it were Prince Ning, he might consider whether to repay the other party's favor, but he and Prince Liyang have no friendship at all, so it is naturally impossible for him to help him compete for the throne.

In a blink of an eye, His Highness Li Yang once again arrived at a barren mountain in Yujing City. He strode towards the thatched cottage on the top of the mountain, clasping his fists and saying:

"Li Yang wants to see Senior Ying!"

Before he could get close, a disdainful voice came from the thatched hut: "Get lost! I'm busy, I don't have time to mess around with you!"

Master Ying's temper was even more direct, and he directly characterized the fight for the throne as nonsense.

As soon as these words were spoken, even His Highness Li Yang, who was known for his calm temperament, couldn't help but turn pale.

But after thinking about this person's deeds, he finally let it go.

How could he possibly get away with it if even his father couldn't persuade this eighth-rank formation master?
Immediately, His Highness Li Yang left without saying a word.

Not far away, several ministers of the court had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Your Highness, there is no need to be angry. Dean Chen and Elder Ying are like this. They never interfere in any state affairs, let alone the succession of the throne."

"It's time for us to set off. News has come from Nanfeng County that the Eight Celestial Cavalry have already started a preliminary battle with the Hehuan Demon Sect. The battle situation is not very clear. If Prince Ning hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid there would have been considerable losses."

"Well, Your Highness, please mobilize your Tianlang tribe as soon as possible. It's not too late to rush to Baihua Valley now."

Hearing this, Li Yang nodded solemnly and said, "Thank you all for your support. If I take the throne, I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future."
