Under One Person, Reviving the Trinity Sect

Chapter 613: The Past of the Immortal

The ceremony of imperial succession takes a hundred days to complete. It is one of the great events held during the reign of every emperor of the imperial dynasty. All the people within the limits of the territory, regardless of their background, whether they are rich or poor, are eligible as long as they want to compete for the throne.

Citizens living on the border need to participate in the general election in their towns, advance to a certain number of places, and then go to larger counties to run for election. After advancing seven or eight levels, they will have the opportunity to reach the finals in the imperial capital.

The Hundred Days Ceremony of the Emperor's Rule consists of more than seventy days of competitions held in various counties and continents to select the young generation with the strongest martial arts skills. Since everyone in the imperial dynasty practices martial arts, they are all warriors. If they do not strive to improve themselves, they will waste their energy and blood practicing kung fu and turn to the art of health preservation. Most people can only live to three to four hundred years old.

This is the life expectancy of ordinary families. For nobles from some aristocratic families, their life expectancy is even longer, possibly four to five hundred years.

Therefore, the age limit in the ceremony of imperial succession is actually just under 200 years old. Those over 200 years old are also eligible to compete, but they need to go to the Examination Office in the imperial capital to have their qualifications and potential assessed. If they meet the requirements, they can be allowed to participate as an exception.

The people stationed in the imperial capital have natural advantages. They can directly compete with the geniuses from all over the place without rounds of screening. There are direct disciples of the generals guarding the border, direct bloodlines of several kings who actually control the counties and continents, and also some saint sons and saint daughters of major sects in hidden sects.

However, if there were no young people from the imperial capital with amazing skills participating in the competition, they would often be eliminated more quickly without any suspense.

As the personal servant of the imperial teacher, Ying Yu was considered a servant by the outside world and had the opportunity to directly participate in the competition and compete for the imperial power. However, he gave up the convenience of reaching the throne in one step and instead went to a remote border town and started his promotion from there.

One thousand plus one.

One hundred thousand plus one.

One step forward.

Ten billion plus one.

As allowed by the rules of imperial succession, Ying Yu chose to participate anonymously, defeating many opponents along the way and easily advancing from the border to the imperial capital.

When it comes to the 80th day of the competition, the geniuses of the twelve counties and a large number of young elites have basically been selected. They will start the final competition with the people of the imperial capital and the royal bloodline.

A total of more than one million people.

Ying Yu participated in the competition leisurely and had never met any so-called opponent. In every battle, he defeated his opponent with one move. The suppressive power he demonstrated was among the best among all the geniuses.

Even many princes and princesses from royal families were suppressed by him single-handedly.

As time passed, his ranking became higher and higher, and he was getting closer and closer to the position of imperial power.

When the time came to the fifth day before the end, there were still a hundred competitors left. According to the random arrangement order, Yingyu ranked 5rd.

In addition to him, there are 6 talented independent cultivators from various places, and the remaining 93 people are all descendants and disciples of emperors, kings, officials, and generals.

On the fourth day before last, all six independent cultivators were eliminated, but Ying Yu continued to advance and still defeated a king's eldest son with one strike.

On the third day before last, Ying Yu's edge became more and more apparent. He defeated several opponents in one day. Without exception, he defeated them with one move without hurting their lives. Those who stood at the top level of the younger generation were like toys in his hands and had no power to resist at all.

At this time, the forces behind some of the competitors for the throne felt a terrible sense of oppression. It was approaching the final, but the anonymous contestant could still easily defeat his opponent. This was not a good sign.

Be it the emperor, several kings, or the forces lurking deeper inside, they all began to regard this mysterious young man as a hidden danger.

That night, a bloody incident occurred in the bedroom where Ying Yu was arranged to play. Several groups of assassins of unknown origin sneaked there at night. Their cultivation was extremely terrifying. They were either at the peak of the Taoist Master of the Immortal Palace, or the Martial King who had cultivated to the extreme of the Wan Tui Realm.

Everything happened silently. Ying Yu's body lay in the hall. Several groups of assassins arrived one after another. They were frightened and left in a hurry after confirming that the body was correct.

However, what they didn't know was that the one they ambushed was a Taoist who was close to the late peerless state, and this Taoist was also a Martial Saint of the flawless state. Looking at the entire imperial dynasty, except for the Martial Emperor and the Imperial Master, even the kings guarding various places might not be his match!
On the second to last day of the Imperial Inheritance, Ying Yu showed up at the competition venue on time, shocking some spectators. He was not dead?

In the following competition, an extremely tragic incident occurred. Six opponents in a row were all killed by Ying Yu alone, all in one move. Even the referee who presided over the competition had no time to stop it.

This bloody scene made the faces of all the kings and generals look extremely ugly. Even the Emperor Wu was no exception. Although the competition system had a rule that no one would be held accountable for life or death, he, Ying Yu, was the first one to act so brutally in the imperial capital!
On this day, Ying Yu killed three princes and three kings' sons without even frowning. But Emperor Wu and the kings were unable to do anything about him and could only swallow their anger.

On the same day, another finalist also successfully advanced. He was a genius from the Ji clan, Ji Wuxuan, the most dazzling prince in the Daye Empire, whose cultivation was in the middle stage of the peerless Taoist monarch!
Most importantly, he has half Ji clan bloodline, which naturally gives him the advantage of forcibly weakening the human cultivators and warriors of the same realm by half a realm.

On the eve of the finals, Ji Wuxuan's father, mother, and some kings who were related to him found him and told him not to hide his abilities tomorrow, but to kill the great enemy directly to avenge his dead brothers.

Ji Wuxuan agreed.

The next day, the final election for the imperial throne came. Standing on the field, Ying Yu no longer concealed his true face and chose to take off his mask. The revealed appearance suddenly shocked all the officials of the imperial dynasty, and even Emperor Wu and the kings changed their expressions drastically.

The person coming is Ying Yu!
The nameless book boy who has been following the Imperial Master for many years! He looks like a disciple but not a disciple, like a child but not a child.

Instantly, the whole audience was shocked. Even Ji Wuxuan stood there in a daze, his pair of golden pupils filled with surprise. It was not because of Ying Yu's identity, but because his Human King bloodline had no effect on this man and could not weaken him!
When this situation occurs, there are generally two reasons: either the opponent's strength is far superior to yours, or the opponent is also of the Human King bloodline.

However, Ji Wuxuan didn't even have a moment to think, as Ying Yu burst out with even more terrifying blood power. He was of pure Ying clan blood, one of the ten human king families, and both of his parents were from the Ying clan. He was much stronger than Ji Wuxuan who had only half the bloodline.

With a loud "boom", Ji Wuxuan's face changed drastically. His cultivation level from the middle stage of the peerless Taoist fell to the early stage of the peerless Taoist at an unstoppable trend. His combat power was weakened by 60%, even close to 70%.

"Boom!!"

In the world-renowned arena, he had no choice but to fight against Ying Yu.

A battle that was erased from the history books of later generations was on the verge of breaking out. There was no suspense. Ying Yu, who was furious but remained calm, beat Ji Wuxuan severely and nearly to death with just one move, Falling Moonlight. Ji Wuxuan even fell into a coma and lay in a pool of blood in the ruins. The entire imperial capital was shaking violently, and the nearest stadium was reduced to dust.

Ying Yu won and became the third Emperor Wu of the dynasty favored by destiny. After this battle, the Emperor Wu and the kings were all speechless, their pupils trembling uncontrollably, they could not believe that Ying Yu's cultivation had surpassed them!
The oppressive feeling emanating from the Human King bloodline made Emperor Wu and the kings remain silent. Ying Yu's origins were more terrifying than they had imagined.

Is the Imperial Master tacitly approving everything behind this?
The second Emperor Wu was not aware of this. Even he himself was supported by the national teacher to ascend the throne. If the national teacher really wanted to help his disciple ascend the throne, what could he, as an emperor, do to stop it?

In the end, Emperor Wu suppressed his resentment and unwillingness and solemnly announced that Ying Yu would be the successor to the throne and enjoy the blessing of the Daye Dynasty. After his life ended, he would become the new emperor and rule over the twelve counties and continents.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The young Ying Yu bowed slightly, his face calm, as if everything was within his expectations.

Afterwards, the Ji clan realized the emergence of the Ying clan and their revival. They wanted to wipe out their rise again with a devastating force, but they were afraid of the elusive Feixian national master.

A Taoist who is universally recognized as the strongest and the first forbidden creature to walk out of the Tianyuan. In his era, any ruler of the Nine Palaces and the Supreme Taoist seemed inferior and could not compete with him.

And Ying Yu was suspected to be the direct disciple of Feixian Daojun, at least that was the rumor from the outside world. He restrained the Ji clan from directly starting a war with the Ying clan.

In just a few years, the Ying clan was gradually exposed to the public eye and no longer feared the suppression of the Ji clan.

Of course, the most fundamental confidence is not relying on the reputation of Feixian Taoist Lord, but on several clan elders in seclusion within the Ying clan. Two of them successfully broke through and entered the middle and late stages of the Supreme Taoist Lord's cultivation, and one of them even passed away.

Even so, it has greatly changed the original passive situation.

Time passed bit by bit. During these three tormenting years, the Second Emperor Wu often had trouble sleeping. He wanted to meet the Imperial Master, but could not find the whereabouts of the Master. He was even more frightened that on some silent night, his life would be swept away by the Imperial Master like dust.

This is the real history, not what is described in later history books. The Second Emperor Wu regarded the National Master as his teacher and had a close relationship with him. In fact, the Second Emperor Wu knew clearly that he was just a tool used by Feixian Daojun to unify the world and stabilize the country, nothing more.

Therefore, he would feel afraid, afraid that he would become an abandoned pawn and die in obscurity.

Under the absolutely huge and hopeless power gap, even though he was the supreme ruler of the empire, he did not even have the courage to resist.

In a blink of an eye, the conflict between the Ying and Ji tribes became increasingly fierce, with small-scale fights occurring from time to time, and both sides were on the brink of war.

It was also at this point that Ying Yu was shocked to realize a fact: the 30 years of his master's retreat was about to end. He hurried back to the clan, looked for his parents, and took them to the place where Feixian Daojun was in retreat.

What awaited them was the Shenyang Ancient Cauldron that was still functioning as usual and the empty forbidden land. After seeing this, Ying Yu's face changed drastically and he almost collapsed emotionally. He couldn't believe the scene before his eyes. He thought his master was dead. Did he die in seclusion? Or did he die because of his parents' calculations? Or did he die by himself?
However, the next second, his parents told him that the Shenyang Ancient Cauldron had not detected any trace of Feixian Taoist Master from beginning to end, which meant that Feixian Taoist Master was not in seclusion here.

In an instant, Ying Yu fell into another abyss again, feeling grief-stricken. It turned out that his master had never trusted him. After tearing off this hypocritical corner, he felt unprecedented relief, mixed with a sense of loss like wet summer rain.

For several days in a row, Ying Yu stood outside the forbidden area in a daze, tears streaming down his cheeks. He was crying, but he didn't know that his master's faith body was silently watching him.

The body of faith has no consciousness and no emotions. It is just a special magic tool, an evolution of magic and supernatural power. It cannot represent the Taoist Feixian.

Therefore, facing Ying Yu's weeping, He remained indifferent and could only record it.

A few days later, Ying Yu got up and left, his expression numb and indifferent. He thought his master was unkind and he was unjust. He rejected all the monastic principles that he had once adhered to.

A week later, the stars in the sky dimmed, and a peerless Taoist was hunting for ancient life stars. Ying Yu gave up his original cultivation method, and opened up eight Taoist palaces in one breath, forcibly detaining one ancient life star after another.

At this point, he completely betrayed Feixian Daojun and did the thing that had angered his master the most, wantonly reaping the lives of others in order to help himself achieve enlightenment.

Under the protection of the two elders, he pushed forward without encountering any obstacles.

In just half a year, his strength increased dramatically. He was a peerless late-stage Taoist with eight palaces and eight stars, and had martial arts cultivation at the peak of the Flawless Realm. Coupled with his human king bloodline, even if he was not a supreme Taoist, his combat power was comparable to that of an early-stage supreme Taoist.

Five years later, there is still no sign of Feixian Daojun coming out of retreat, and Ying Yu's feelings for his master are becoming increasingly indifferent. The conflict between the Shifeng Ji clan and the Ying clan has reached its peak, and a clan war breaks out!
The Ji clan and the Ying clan were both led by two Supreme Dao Lords. They were in a stalemate and fought fiercely in the sky for several times, but it was difficult to determine the winner.

Apart from the contest between the strongest, when it came to the fight between the elite of the two tribes, it showed a one-sided trend. Even though the number of peerless Taoist masters of the Ji tribe was two or three times more than that of the Ying tribe, they were still suppressed by the elders of the Ying tribe led by Ying Yu.

The war lasted for more than 20 years, with heavy casualties on both sides. The Ji clan was on the verge of collapse, while the Ying clan was still holding on.

Just when the battle was about to be decided, the Ji clan made up their minds and reached a secret cooperation with other ancient clans. They won over two Nine Palaces masters and a Supreme Taoist Lord from the Undead Ruins to join the battle, and seriously injured two elders of the Ying clan.

In an instant, the situation on the battlefield changed drastically. Ying Yu was still fighting on the front line, but more and more powerful people came to support the Ji clan. He killed until the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and there were corpses everywhere, but in the end he failed to break through the forbidden area of ​​the Ji clan.

The reason why he had to retreat temporarily was that the head of a supreme Taoist master in the clan appeared in the hands of the supporting Nine Palaces Lord.

Ying Yu was shocked and decisively evacuated with his people. Then he hid in a life forbidden zone, thus avoiding the fate of extermination.

Another ten years passed, and the war was not over yet. However, the Ying clan was becoming increasingly weak and had almost lost the capital to fight back.

The Ji clan is about to win. They have five ultimate fighters, and they are definitely not something the Ying clan can shake.

Seeing that thousands of years of efforts were about to go to waste, Ying Yu's parents, as well as many elders and clansmen, could not accept such an outcome, and forced Ying Yu to seek help from Feixian Daojun, especially the legendary body of faith. If they could be temporarily awakened, perhaps they could save the battle.

Ying Yu was unwilling to bow his head at first, and even more unwilling to steal the faith of Feixian Daojun, until his clansmen and parents threatened to commit suicide.

As a last resort, Ying Yu walked out of the life restricted area and secretly returned to Feixian County, activating the secret method of the faith body in an attempt to refine the master's faith body. (End of this chapter)
