Turning misfortunes into good fortune starts with seizing the direct descendants in Kowloon.

Chapter 281: All nations gather together, a peak gathering, I want to be the master of the world, not just the Middle-earth world
Jiayu Pass is located to the west of Dayan and is a majestic pass.

After hundreds of years of repair, it is no longer just a city gate. With the supporting facilities, it has become a group of cities where people live, connected to each other.

To the north is a cliff a thousand feet high, called Wankong Cliff, which extends from the ground to the underground, and a dead volcano can be vaguely seen.

At the bottom of the volcano is a set of red lava rivers, flowing steadily. The flames emitted from the rivers make the black stone walls reflect a layer of red light patterns.

The location of the Jinwu Kingdom is just to the east of the volcano.

The source of the forging fire used in Foundry Villa comes from this thousand-year-old volcano.

Use the volcanic fire source that has existed for thousands of years to refine magic weapons.

To the west are the towering snow-capped mountains with no cloud in sight. Passing through the snow-capped mountains, one can see the border of the Silver Frost Empire.

Lu Mingyuan looked down at the molten lava below, and then moved his gaze to the interior of Jiayuguan behind him. Everywhere he looked, there were black tiles with flying eaves, and some shops built in stone caves, selling magic weapons, elixirs, or wild beasts.
Monks from all corners of Middle-earth came and went on the streets.

Jiayuguan can connect various countries and is a trade center. It is no longer just a majestic pass, but also a hub for Dayan to communicate with other countries.

When Lu Mingyuan arrived here.

I noticed some vibrations coming from my sleeves.

When I took it out and looked at it, I found that it was a black tortoise shell emitting rays of light.

New prompts formed before my eyes.

[The Jinwu Kingdom and the Yinshuang Empire have withdrawn their troops from the Cashmere Trail in Hexi Town.]

"Ran?"

Lu Mingyuan narrowed his eyes.

"How can I let you do as you wish?"

The champion Hou Huoqing stood by with his sword pressed, and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Lu Mingyuan asked calmly, "Have you found any trace of the Golden Crow Nation?"

Huo Qing said in a deep voice: "No, it seems that the enemy has already seen through the wind direction of Jiayu Pass and has withdrawn in advance."

"Can we send troops to pursue them?"

Guanjun Hou thought: "The official road has been blocked by the Jiayuguan defenders in advance. The enemy should be taking a small road. If we know the approximate location, we may be able to intercept them on the official road. The small road is steep and dangerous, and the main road is much more convenient."

"Bring me the map."

Lu Mingyuan called out and pointed a finger at the thick parchment.

"I think the enemy is likely to pass through here. What do you think, Marquis Guanjun?"

Huo Qing stared at where Lu Mingyuan was.

Be puzzled.

Why is it here?

Even though he was knowledgeable and experienced, he was still stunned by Lu Mingyuan's move.

"I don't know what will happen next."

Huo Qing could only speak honestly.

Lu Mingyuan smiled faintly: "Go here, maybe there will be other discoveries."

Guan Jun Hou did not ask the reason, but chose to do it.

He ordered his soldiers to go to the destination and search.

Less than half an hour.

Then came the good news.

"Your Majesty, it's true! We found traces of the Jinwu Kingdom's withdrawal near Hexi Town!"

"Okay." Lu Mingyuan waved his hand and made the decision to send troops.

"In this case, we should take this opportunity to destroy the main forces of the Golden Crow and Silver Frost Empires first."

"Yes!"

At this time, Cashmere said.

Both the Golden Crow Kingdom and the Silver Frost Empire have stationed troops here.

“The pursuers from Dayan shouldn’t catch up with us.” Wu Xun, the prince of the Silver Frost Empire, frowned as he looked at the oasis that finally appeared in the vast northern desert.

Luo Lingxiao said confidently: "Absolutely not."

"As long as we wait for the reinforcements to arrive, there will be no more days for Da Yan to be tyrannical."

Wu Xun pondered and said, "Not all six countries have sent troops here. Only Nanli and Great Sui, with the combined strength of the four countries, should be able to resist the Great Yan army."

"I'm wondering who leaked our information. This has always been a mystery. If we can't find the undercover agent, I'm afraid there will be a risk of defeat in the subsequent wars."

Luo Lingxiao couldn't figure out who leaked the whereabouts of the Jinwu Kingdom's troops.

He even suspected that there were undercover agents in the country.

But most of the people involved in the military operation were his own confidants, so how could an undercover agent infiltrate?

Wu Xun said with interest: "I heard that the Great Yan Emperor led the expedition personally this time, and it caused quite a big commotion."

"How confident are you if you face him?"

Luo Lingxiao, the new King of the Golden Crow, pondered: "From the perspective of personal strength alone, since Lu Mingyuan can fight against the Great Nether Queen, he should have the strength to fight against the Twelve Realms."

Wu Xun smiled and said, "It is said that he defeated the Queen of the Underworld."

Luo Lingxiao shook his head. "It should be a rumor. At that time, many masters from the three religions came, and even the old Taoist priest from the Taoist Temple came in person. I think it was the general trend that made the Queen of the Underworld retreat on her own initiative, rather than Lu Mingyuan defeating her."

He trusts his own judgment more.

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.

He has done a lot of research on Lu Mingyuan.

He studied thoroughly everything, including the other party's deeds in the cold palace, his actions in the Manghuang Cave Heaven, and many things he did after entering the East Palace.

He commented that this was a respectable opponent.

Never underestimate him. It was because the other princes underestimated Lu Mingyuan that they were defeated by him one by one.

Luo Lingxiao said: "With my current strength, even the twelfth realm can't be my opponent."

"Unless Lu Mingyuan reaches the upper third rank, I will definitely not give him a chance to attack if we fight."

"If this person had reached the upper third level, how could he have given the six nations a chance to breathe? Judging from his current state of cultivation for several months, he should be recuperating and has definitely not broken through to the thirteenth level."

Wu Xun nodded slightly in agreement with the analysis of the new King of the Golden Crow.

"Let's go and meet up with Li Muwan and Cao Zongxi."

Wu Xun rested for a while and then continued his march.

It took several hours to get off the trail after passing through the lush oasis and braving the strong winds from the Gobi Desert.

Passing through the valley ahead, you can see the endless plains.

However, just as they were crossing the valley.

A massive crowd of people emerged from both sides of the valley. In all directions, flags were flying, and the warriors were full of energy and vigor, with weapons in hand, ready for battle.

"You are finally here."

A voice with a hint of laughter and a slightly teasing tone echoed in the valley.

Luo Lingxiao and Wu Xun looked around but couldn't find the person who was speaking.

Don't see the person, just hear the sound.

Luo Lingxiao snorted coldly: "Your Excellency is only capable of this, and you only dare to devise strategies in the canyon, and you dare not even show your face when you speak?"

At this moment, in the distance where soldiers were gathered, a nine-dragon chariot with a golden umbrella and a canopy appeared in front of everyone.

Luo Lingxiao and Wu Xun looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.

The two men attacked almost at the same time, bursting out with incredible power, smashing towards the Nine Dragon Chariot.

The Da Yan soldiers who were blocking the way from all sides were directly blown away.

A thought flashed across his mind and arrived in front of the Nine Dragon Chariot at lightning speed.

They obviously thought of the same thing.

Want to capture the Emperor of Dayan alive.

but.

Different than imagined.

There was no man in dragon robe in the Nine-Dragon Chariot. Instead, two strong men rushed out. One was a woman in Taoist robe with cinnabar on her forehead and holding a whisk. On the right was a middle-aged man in a black long gown, with a handsome appearance and a huge Yin-Yang Tai Chi shadow appearing under his feet.

It was Fairy Cihang and Taoist Taiwei.

A moment.

Taoist Taiwei took out the sect's magical weapon, the Yin-Yang Mirror, from his sleeve.

The two of them fought back directly, and the light emitted by the Yin-Yang Mirror turned into a long rope, which tied up Luo Lingxiao and Wu Xun.

Capture him alive.

Lu Mingyuan was in the army, and seeing this scene from a distance, he smiled slightly:
"Show your face? Why do you want to show your face?"

"I knew it."

Lu Mingyuan smiled faintly and guessed what the two were planning.

Being ambushed and trapped, they are already the weaker party. Naturally, their first reaction is to capture the enemy commander alive and fight for a chance of survival.

The reactions of these two people were very quick. If they were monarchs of other countries, their defenses might have been breached.

Unfortunately, Lu Mingyuan would not give them such an opportunity. Moreover, his own cultivation was higher than these two guys.

Not knowing the opponent's true strength, Lu Mingyuan could only observe silently in secret and use the Great Flame Priest to test him.

Just now.

Lu Mingyuan roughly estimated that the strength of the two should not be very high, and they were not the kind of people who hid their skills.

For now, I can conclude that these two guys cannot beat me.

They can be labeled as weak.

After being captured alive, his Qi Hai Dan Tian was sealed, but he couldn't use any tricks. Luo Lingxiao shouted unwillingly:

"The great Yan, claiming to be the Mandate of Heaven Dynasty, resorts to such despicable means and dares not fight head-on?"

Lu Mingyuan remained indifferent to this provocation.

He said expressionlessly, "Do you think I'm a fool? I can defeat you without spending a single soldier, so why not? The best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting. Don't you understand?"

Then Lu Mingyuan thought: "Forget it, let's not waste time talking to them. If we take them down, we should be able to lure the reinforcements from Nanli and Great Sui to surround and attack them. No matter how many allied forces come, we will take as many as Great Yan can."

Just as he was thinking, a Dharma body of Buddha descended from the sky and emerged between heaven and earth.

Golden lotuses were suspended in the sky, accompanied by dazzling golden light, illuminating the entire valley like a huge sun.

The Dharmakaya of Buddha is extremely sacred, with spiral hair, a flame-patterned halo and atop his head. His right hand is in the earth-touching mudra, and his left hand is in the meditation mudra. Between the eyebrows of the Dharmakaya stands a monk in white with an unparalleled handsome appearance.

The monk in white robes pressed down lightly with his palm.

The Dharma body then pressed down with a palm.

The barrier condensed by Taiwei Daojun was directly shattered.

Luo Lingxiao and Wu Xun were rescued.

Seeing this scene, Lu Mingyuan chuckled: "Jiang Shan, it seems that you are determined to be my enemy."

Jiang Shan in the void was making a seal with one hand. His profile was sharp and handsome, with golden light shining on both sides of his eyes, like a furious Vajra.

He glanced at Luo Lingxiao in his palm, smiled faintly and said: "But everyone serves his own master, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

This era is indeed full of talented people, and everyone is as talented as a dragon. If Luo Lingxiao had been born a hundred years earlier, or a thousand years later, he might have become one of the most outstanding people of our time.

But with Lu Mingyuan around, other talented geniuses are destined to be dim and can only serve as a foil.

Facing Jiang Shan, Lu Mingyuan was neither arrogant nor impatient, and asked with a smile:

"Then I would like to ask you, Master, do you think that this time the six nations will win in their eastward march, or will Great Yan win?"

Jiang Shan chanted a Buddhist name: "Amitabha, the world is impermanent, cause and effect are inevitable, everything has a destiny, and naturally the capable will take over."

Lu Mingyuan's expression straightened up, his voice raised several degrees, and he spoke with full energy, exerting force from his Dantian, surging with vitality:
"Then let me ask you again, if I want to be the master of the world, not just Middle-earth, but all the world."

"Can I or can't I?!"

Even Jiang Shan was shocked by Lu Mingyuan's question.

"this."

He had never thought that Lu Mingyuan would have such great ambitions.

For a moment, the atmosphere became quiet.

"What a loud tone!"

I only heard that outside the valley, a group of monks with strong aura riding swords and riding the wind were rushing towards me.

Leading the group was a handsome young man with a slender figure and a dragon pattern carved on his hair crown. He was wearing a dark black robe and was very eye-catching.

There was a tall old eunuch following him.

"Prince of the Sui Dynasty, Cao Zongxi."

Lu Mingyuan recognized the person almost at first sight.

"I didn't expect that the Sixth Prince could say such cruel words. It seems that you have changed a lot in the past three years."

A petite girl in flame-patterned armor appeared from the east, carrying a large sword on her back. Next to her was an old man with white hair and cloudy eyes, who was carrying a stick-like object wrapped in an old cloth strip on his back, looking unfathomable.

The person who just spoke was this girl.

Wu Xun chuckled: "Li Muwan, you are a little slow."

Li Muwan said indifferently: "Humph, if it weren't for my father's order, I wouldn't have come."

Today, the Nanli Dynasty and the Yinshuang Empire have a very good relationship, and there is a hint of marriage, but Li Muwan is determined not to let go.

Otherwise, the two countries would have become relatives.

Many cultivators from the immortal forces arrived one after another, and they were no ordinary people.

Either they are the top forces in the nine heavens and ten earths, or they are the mainstream inheritance of the seven major Buddhist sects.

"You are the new generation king of Da Yan, Lu Mingyuan?"

"A bit younger than expected."

Not far away, the Great Martial Prince Chu Longxiang also arrived. He had a calm expression, was wearing a black tortoise armor, and had a strong vitality. It was obvious that after being blessed by destiny, his martial arts skills had greatly improved.

The descendants of the immortal forces in different states and counties, the proud sons and daughters of major sects, all gathered here.

Lu Mingyuan saw many familiar figures, including Taoist Qigong practitioners who defected to the Great Sui Dynasty, such as Ziyang Zhenren of Ziyang Palace, Bodhi Master of Bodhi Temple, and Wangqing Zhenren of Wangqing Sect. There were also young sword cultivators from Tongtian Sword Sect, and Taoists from Maoshan Blessed Land and Qingyun Blessed Land.

The Mohist Confucian scholars of the Song Dynasty manipulated the puppet soldiers, who were from the famous families of the 36 academies in the country, including Luochuan Academy, Bihu Academy, and Bailu Academy.
Many Buddhist sects: Leiyin Temple, Xiaolingyin Temple, Jinshan Temple, Wenshu Temple, Putuo Temple, Datianlong Temple, Dajinchan Temple.
From this we can see that since the destiny and fortune fell.

The support rate of each major dynasty has increased significantly.

Among the crowd, Lu Mingyuan released the spiritual power formed by his vital energy and carefully observed the young cultivators present.

After retracting his mental strength, Lu Mingyuan was secretly surprised. He was only a twelfth-level warrior, but he discovered more than ten of them, and each of them exuded a very powerful aura.

Lu Mingyuan seemed very calm and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that today would be such a great day with so many countries gathered together. It is really rare."

Hearing these words, the masters from various countries who had reached the twelfth level of cultivation all showed sharp light in their eyes and looked towards Lu Mingyuan.

He could still smile when seeing the strong men from the six countries.

"Do you think we can still win today?" asked one of the priests of the Dawu Dynasty.

This man's name was Yao Longchuan, a top master in the Dawu Dynasty. He wore a luxurious purple martial arts robe and looked to be about thirty years old. He had sharp eyebrows and eagle eyes, and his demeanor was quite extraordinary.

He knew that this time, not only would there be experts at the twelfth level, but there might also be experts at the upper three levels joining the game.

At this moment, they are most likely watching the battle from outside the Heaven.

In this way, we will see whether Da Yan has more top three grades or the six countries have more top three grades.

Yao Longchuan remains optimistic about this.

Since the fall of destiny, several ancestors of the Dawu Dynasty have broken through to the upper three ranks.

It was not surprising for Lu Mingyuan to see someone familiar.

But it feels a little strange.

Why did the six countries arrive so quickly?

And it just happened to appear at such an appropriate time.

His suspicious gaze could not help but fall on the black tortoise shell.

At this moment, Golden Crow King Luo Lingxiao had already touched the limit of his Dantian. He looked at Lu Mingyuan with cold eyes: "Lu Mingyuan, although I don't know how you found out our marching route, I can only say that we were just one step behind. This is exactly where we are gathering our troops, and you just happened to appear here. If you had arrived half an hour earlier and intercepted our route, you might have really taken us down."

So what if they were ambushed.

This was the place where he discussed the rendezvous of the armies of the six nations. Rather than saying that Lu Mingyuan caught a turtle in a jar, it would be more accurate to say that the six nations arrived here just before they were surrounded by Dayan.

If he had arrived a little earlier, he might have been captured alive by Lu Mingyuan, which would have been a huge joke.

The War of the Seven Kingdoms is the biggest event in the Middle-earth Dynasty in the past five hundred years of reincarnation. Many forces have gathered together, and they are all the most powerful people in the mortal world. It can be said to be a gathering of dragons.

Today's battle is attracting everyone's attention.

The six nations, symbolizing the next heirs to the Mandate of Heaven, officially began to compete with the previous heir, the Great Yan.

What is the Mandate of Heaven?

When a cycle of five hundred years reaches the last hundred years, a competition for luck will begin. Whoever is the winner can enter the next five hundred years and become the successor of destiny.

However, this is a time when many people gather together and many people of luck emerge.

With the birth of many geniuses and sons of destiny, six great heroes emerged in the world, vying for supremacy over the world. They were as shining as a sky full of stars, with picturesque landscapes, beautiful women, and a cruel and chaotic era right before our eyes.

Those who can change the tides of the times and compete to be the king, step on the tombs of heroes and become legends discussed and admired by monks of later generations.

In response, Lu Mingyuan smiled calmly.

Ever since Wei Laojiu's heroic feat of guarding Tianmen, a raging fire has been burning in Lu Mingyuan's heart.

No matter how the situation changes outside the Tianmen Gate and in Middle-earth.

However, as long as the gods and Buddhas intervene in the human world, the first person to be impacted will inevitably be the human emperor who is the master of the dynasty of destiny.

If we want to break the current situation where the human race is surrounded by the Demon Kingdom and the wilderness, we must establish the Supreme Immortal Dynasty.

Before that can happen, the Six Nations must be defeated.

Those words he said just now when he became the master of the world were not out of arrogance, but were what he had to do.

He must seize the luck of the six nations and unify the power of the human race, so as to continuously accumulate strength and compete with Manghuang and Shengming.

In the face of the uncertain future situation faced by numerous gods and Buddhas, it is necessary to accumulate sufficient strength.

In the eyes of these geniuses, I might be talking nonsense.

But defeating the six nations is only the first step he has to take now.
