Chapter 300: The Secret of the Ascension Platform, the Song Dynasty Begs for Surrender, Two Souls in One Body

"Your parents should both be very powerful swordsmen."

Lu Mingyuan said softly.

Yun Qinghe seemed very calm: "Maybe. I was too young at that time and didn't see them take action much."

"You carry the blood of the Five-Colored Sword Immortal from the Middle Ages. No wonder you are so talented."

Lu Mingyuan praised.

The Five-Colored Sword Immortal was an Ascended Sword Immortal in the Middle Ages, ranked at the fourteenth realm, with extraordinary strength. Even if he met the Twelve Thrones of the Demon Race, he would be able to fight.

"No matter how great my ability is, how can I compare to you?"

Yun Qinghe's eyes rolled back and he looked quite speechless.

If it were in the past, Yun Qinghe would have argued a few more times about how talented and gifted he was.

But ever since Lu Mingyuan came out of nowhere, he has been regarded as the pride of the Middle-earth, suppressed the heroes of the seven countries, and blocked the three swords of Wanluo Sword Immortal.

The title of the world's number one genius has already been given to Lu Mingyuan.

"That's not your character." It was rare for Lu Mingyuan to see Yun Qinghe admit defeat directly and not make amends for himself, so he couldn't help but smile slightly.

"I'm not belittling myself. I'm just admitting that someone is better than me. Is that hard?"

"Now, even though my cultivation has greatly improved, I still cannot beat you. I am just telling the truth." Yun Qinghe's tone was very calm, without too many beating around the bush.

After she absorbed the nine lifetimes' memories of the Daqian Canglantu, her Dao heart was restored and she reached a higher level. She now had what it took to reach the third level, and it was only a matter of time.

What she lacked was just the foundation, but after returning to the sect and practicing hard for more than half a year, she entered many secret realms and obtained many treasures from heaven and earth. Inside the Tianshi Mansion, the head sect even personally gave her a bamboo plant.

The Bixiao Tongtian Bamboo is a fairy creature. In ancient times, like the ginseng fruit tree, it was the spiritual root of heaven and earth. It has the wonderful function of consolidating the foundation, allowing the bones to transform and transform from mortal to fairy.

Even in the Tianshi Mansion, only this one has been produced in tens of thousands of years.

It was obvious that the sect had already regarded her as the successor of the next era.

In the last era, Fairy Cihang, Heavenly Master in White and others were like shining pearls, illuminating the entire era.

Right now, we need a genius with even stronger strength to stand at the top of the Middle-earth world and take over the banner of the Tianshi Mansion in this era.

She is the sect’s candidate.

Thanks to this, Yun Qinghe's cultivation level has skyrocketed and he has already entered the late eleventh realm.

Not inferior to Luo Lingxiao and his ilk.

With the help of a peerless immortal sword, he is able to cut through the twelve realms and barely compete with the top three levels.

"Where did the news about the birth of the Ascension Platform that you mentioned earlier come from?"

Lu Mingyuan continued to ask.

He had received the light talisman message from Yun Qinghe before.

Learned the secrets of the ascension platform.

Yun Qinghe said: "Of course it came from within the Dao League. The entire Dao League is now preparing for war and is determined to capture this ascension platform at all costs."

Lu Mingyuan asked curiously, "What does the Ascension Platform mean to the cultivators of the world?"

Yun Qinghe said calmly: "After the battle of ascension to the gods in the mythological era ended."

"Once all the Qigong practitioners in the world reach the upper third level, they will be judged by the illusory Heavenly Dao as thieves who have stolen the foundation of heaven and earth. They will not be tolerated by heaven and earth and must be forced to ascend."

"This Ascension Platform is a product of that time. It was originally a sacred object used by ancient gods to travel to the human world, and later gradually became the key to open the upper world."

Lu Mingyuan frowned and said, "Why do I feel that these big shots, one by one, want to escape to the upper realm? Isn't it better to stay in the human world?"

Yun Qinghe sighed and said, "Because the deadline has come."

"What you don't know is that there are so many immortal beings who have lived in the human world for tens of thousands of years. If they don't have an ascension platform, they will be forced to ascend if they act recklessly in the human world. Because there is no ascension platform, these dormant Fourteenth Realm powerhouses will be punished by the Heavenly Dao."

"So, they live in seclusion in the mountains to avoid the secrets of heaven?"

Lu Mingyuan roughly knew why guys like Li Sheng, Lunri Tianjun, and Xun Yu always showed themselves as clones.

Because the higher the realm, the deeper the integration with the Tao, and the deeper the connection with the Way of Heaven.

In short, if you are contaminated by the rules and mysteries of heaven and earth, you will be assimilated by the way of heaven.

Therefore, most of them stay in the rear, sit in the base camp, and act as a mascot.

After listening to Yun Qinghe's explanation, Lu Mingyuan roughly understood the function of the ascension platform.

“But is the upper realm really as good as imagined? Even if we get the ascension platform and successfully ascend to heaven, can everything really go as we wish?” Yun Qinghe seemed not optimistic about the appearance of the ascension platform.

"You have never been to the upper realm, how do you know?" Lu Mingyuan said with a smile.

Yun Qinghe said very seriously, "If it was easy to get along in the upper realm, Daozu would not have launched the war of ascension to the gods, and the human world would not be divided into four parts."

"God is not selfless, but selfish and ruthless."

Lu Mingyuan asked, "What are these upper realms and four directions of heaven and earth that you are talking about?"

Yun Qinghe said: "Although the name of the upper realm is the world, it covers more than one world. It has infinite possibilities."

"The four directions of heaven and earth represent the ruling areas of the four most powerful gods in the upper realm during the mythological era, and symbolize the four directions of the heavens."

"Under each god, there are several kingdoms of gods that have stood for thousands of years. The kingdoms of gods are ruled by the gods themselves. Each kingdom is independent, and its number changes every thousand years."

"For example, the ancestor god of the Golden Crow Nation in the mythological era can be traced back to the youngest son of the Demon God, the Three-legged Golden Crow."

"And in the Holy Underworld, there is a group of Netherworld evil gods ruling."

After hearing Yun Qinghe's explanation, Lu Mingyuan couldn't help but start to make associations.

Wei Laojiu was standing alone outside the Heavenly Gate. How did he manage to pass through it?

"It seems to be because of the origin of the ancient god."

Lu Mingyuan recalled what happened at that time.

Accompanying the army returning eastward.

It took Lu Mingyuan three days to return to Jiayuguan.

After explaining the arrangements for sending troops, he headed towards the capital.

As soon as I left Jiayuguan, I received an urgent letter.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty sent a secret envoy to say that the letter must be delivered no matter what."

Lu Mingyuan took the letter presented by the imperial guards and couldn't help but frowned.

"What's in this letter?"

Yun Qinghe asked.

Lu Mingyuan put down the letter and handed it to her, thinking: "The Song Dynasty said that the northern cities are already short of troops, and the demon army is approaching. They are willing to surrender to Da Yan and pray for reinforcements. They are willing to agree to all conditions."

"Oh?"

Yun Qinghe was quite surprised and said, "Could it be that the demon race is planning to attack the Song Dynasty in addition to the Nanli Dynasty?"

"The power of the entire Wild World has already gathered together. It seems that this time, the Wild Demon Clan is planning to have an unprecedented war."

The war has been going on non-stop this year, and the Dayan army is obviously unable to withstand such a constant stream of travel.

There was a war among seven nations in the past, and an invasion by demons in the future.

Even a man of iron can't bear it.

If it were in a peaceful and prosperous era, this might not be considered a particularly serious matter.

As long as Da Yan takes the lead, other dynasties will send out troops, and everyone will be fair, the Middle Earth against the Wild World. However, a great war has just ended, and the human cultivators have not yet adjusted to their state, and they have to resist the looting of the demons, which is really exhausting.

"Manghuang Tianxia came prepared this time. Since the disastrous defeat in the Manghuang Dongtian trip, they have not made any moves. Now they are going all out."

Lu Mingyuan was somewhat hesitant in the face of the Song Dynasty's request.

If we agree to the Song Dynasty, Dayan will have to send troops again.

In fact, it is a great test for the national strength of Dayan.

Secondly, the Song Dynasty was once an enemy of Dayan.

If we send troops to help the Song Dynasty now.

No one would be able to accept it.

It's inevitable that there are some knots in my heart.

Lu Mingyuan might not care, but the people of the world cannot ignore it.

He guessed that the Song Dynasty was also seriously ill and was trying every possible means to save it, so they would save anyone who could.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent a letter for help to Dayan.

Neither the Jinwu Kingdom nor the Nanli Dynasty could save the Song Dynasty, and Yinshuang and the Sui Dynasty were too far away.

Apart from these, the only country closest to the Song Dynasty and bordering it is Dayan.

However, sending troops also has its benefits. We can use this opportunity to annex the destiny of the Song Dynasty, which is not without its benefits.

Unexpectedly, Yun Qinghe shook his head at Lu Mingyuan, obviously disagreeing with his point of view.

"No, I think the demon race's goal is not to attack the human dynasty, nor to occupy land, or even to feed on humans. Their real goal is this ascension platform."

"Whether it's the Nanli Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, they all have roads passing through Tianbaozhou. Maybe the army's gathering is just a feint, and the real purpose is at this junction."

Lu Mingyuan frowned and said, "Besides the Dao Alliance, can the demon race also figure out the whereabouts of the Ascension Platform?"

Yun Qinghe said: "Your words undoubtedly underestimate the strength of the demon race. Even the demon race can deduce the human race's plan and marching route. This is not exclusive to our sect."

"The cultivation methods of the demon race are similar to those of the human race. As early as the mythological era, the demon race and the human race were one. Warriors called them body cultivators, and Qi cultivators were still Qi cultivators. There were also sword cultivators and knife cultivators. The difference is that the bloodline carried in the demon race is incomparable to that of the human race."

"Each of the twelve thrones of the demon race is comparable to a saintly ancestor. Some of them are seeds of divine beasts left over from ancient times, and ancient giants."

"For example, the Second Throne Chief Liu is a great demon with the blood of the ancient vicious beast Qiongqi. He likes to eat the heads and brains of living creatures the most. Whenever he eats the heads of living creatures, he can extend and master a kind of magical power and use it for his own benefit."

"So far, Shuryu has mastered 10,000 magical powers."

When Lu Mingyuan heard that the Second Throne was such a ruthless character, he was surprised: "Eating heads, there are ten thousand kinds of magical powers."

"There is also the Nine Thrones Snake Concubine, whose true form is a giant python that is a hundred meters tall. This monster is good at transforming into a beautiful woman and seducing monks. She likes to eat monks the most and refine their golden bodies, turning them into a body of golden scales. She is also extremely difficult to deal with."

Yun Qinghe said calmly: "These are just two of them. Every throne has his own innate magical power, which is an ancient power engraved in his blood. Just now I told you that among the monster race, there are also great monsters who are good at divination."

"You should have seen this person. He once showed up in the Wilderness Cave Heaven."

"Which one?"

Lu Mingyuan tried to recall it carefully, but he had no impression of it.

Yun Qinghe said: "The Eighth Throne Long Jian is the youngest of the Twelve Thrones. He has only been promoted to the new throne in the last thousand years, and is in the middle of the thrones. His strength is quite impressive."

"He taught himself the art of looking at qi and divination from our sect, and entered the realm of ascension. He used a relic of the Sixth Patriarch and Future Buddha looted from the human race, combined with the dragon ball treasure of the True Dragon Clan, and refined a candle ball."

"This pearl is no less than the immortal Hun Tian Yi of our Taoist sect. It can confine space and see into the future. It can compete with the Taoist sect."

"Why did the Taoist sect spend so much effort to find the location of the Wilderness Cave Heaven last time? It was because this person was hiding the secrets of heaven and making trouble in secret."

"In addition to the Wilderness Cave Heaven, this person also intercepted it separately and turned it into a world in his palm. In terms of magical powers and abilities, I personally think that Long Jian is more than just the Eight Thrones."

After Yun Qinghe’s reminder.

Lu Mingyuan felt that he had remembered everything.

It was the man with dragon horns who was born with a pair of innate golden amber dragon eyes like a king, different from those of other dragons.

"What you mean is that this invasion of the demon clan was actually a plot set up by the great demon Long Jian." Lu Mingyuan said solemnly.

"Probably."

Yun Qinghe nodded slightly.

"When we return to Beijing this time, we must start preparing for the battle and be ready to fight to the death."

A month passed.

Lu Mingyuan finally led the army back to the capital.

Finally a decision was made.

Dayan verbally supported the Song Dynasty's feat of resisting the demon army, but did not send an army to fight for the time being.

It’s not that they are unwilling, but they hope that the Song Dynasty can last a little longer.

At the moment, Da Yan is not ready to send troops.

however.

As soon as Lu Mingyuan arrived in Dijing, he discovered something was wrong.

First, he saw the people maintaining the city gate.

The formation was not in its original state, and some Qigong practitioners from the Lei Chi Taoist Academy were carrying out emergency repairs.

It's not obvious that the capital city has been destroyed.

"Chen Ke, what is going on?"

Lu Mingyuan found Chen Ke and planned to ask the reason.

Chen Ke had a guilty look on his face, as if he was still brooding over what happened a few days ago.

"It is I who have failed His Majesty's expectations."

On the other side, in a cold and damp dungeon.

A mature woman with a cool temperament walked in.

If Lu Mingyuan were here, he would find out that she is Sui Yuqing.

However, Sui Yuqing's complexion now looked a little gloomy, and his eyes were indescribably murderous and cold-blooded. Demonic patterns appeared on his snow-white and smooth neck, making him completely different from the original Sui Yuqing.

She arrived at the dungeon, in silence. The air around her blocked out the sound, and no sound could be heard.

Even if someone discovered Sui Yuqing's existence, they would still respect her very much.

Basically no one suspected anything.

Sui Yuqing has a very high status in Taoism.

"Do you really have a way to free me from this body?"

"Sui Yuqing"'s voice became cold and hoarse.

"Of course, if you want to become an independent individual and realize the true one body with two souls, or even erase Sui Yuqing's body, you must help me deal with Lu Mingyuan. If you can help me get the tortoise shell back, that would be even better."

"This was originally a deal, and that's why I chose you."

Wu Gongyu said with the same cold look.

"Sui Yuqing"'s eyes lit up when she saw the word "independent individual" from Wu Gongyu's mouth. She seemed unable to refuse this condition, which was very tempting.

Because she doesn't want to disappear from this world.

She also wants to live as a human being.
