The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 353: The Relics of the Evil Emperor, the Grandmaster of the Demon Sect
After entering the stone chamber, Shi Zhixuan's eyes scanned the place inch by inch, as if he wanted to turn the place upside down. Soon, the boxes in several stone chambers were opened, revealing the gold, silver, jewelry and antique toys inside.

After reading it, he still didn't find what he wanted, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Lu, why can't I see the evil emperor's relic?"

Lu Miaozi smiled without saying anything, stroking his beard and just looking at the stone table beside him.

Shi Zhixuan was stunned at first, then he quickly walked forward and pressed on the table. He applied a little force with his palm and felt a recoil. He then looked at the single leg supporting the stone table and asked, "Is there a mechanism in this table?"

"Yes!" Lu Miaozi nodded, grabbed the edge of the table with both hands and pulled it upwards. The table rose two inches and made a slight sound.

Everyone present was used to it. Along the way, the mechanisms that Lu Miaozi had opened were dazzling and breathtaking. It was normal that this small table also had a mechanism hidden in it.

Then, there was a sound of axle friction under the round table, and it rotated to the left, "click." The floor next to the table sank, revealing a narrow space inside.

Shi Zhixuan quickly walked to the small square cave, looked down, and saw a small copper jar lying inside the dark cave entrance.

He reached out and grabbed it. There was a handle on the copper jar, but what he didn't expect was that the small copper jar actually weighed hundreds of pounds. Holding it in his hand, it seemed like there was liquid shaking inside. He felt a spherical object inside, immersed in a strange solution.

The next moment, the scene in front of his eyes suddenly changed, and a bloody and horrific scene appeared in his mind. He seemed to hear the screams of millions of wronged souls demanding their lives. All the people and enemies he had killed in his life appeared before his eyes one by one. In an instant, his eyes turned red.

Xu Ziling's eyes widened, realizing something was wrong. Just as he was about to warn him, he saw Su Ming suddenly appear beside Shi Zhixuan and pointed a finger at the center of his eyebrows.

"Buzz!"

A cool breeze penetrated from the top of his head, instantly extinguishing the murderous intent and distracting thoughts in Shi Zhixuan's heart. The irritable mood disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Brother Shi, wake up!"

Following a low shout, Shi Zhixuan only felt a roar in his ears, and his mind was distracted from the endless killing. When he came back to his senses, he felt that his true energy was running according to the trajectory of the Immortal Seal without him noticing. He was almost about to use his last move to die, and his vitality was greatly damaged.

He quickly put down the copper pot in his hand and thanked Su Ming, "Thank you, Brother Su. I was almost tempted to have a demon in my heart by the evil emperor's relic just now."

People who practice qigong and martial arts often have violent demons in their hearts. They harbor sharp knives in their hearts and are full of murderous intent. If the powerful strength is not matched by a sufficient spiritual realm, it will gradually affect the consciousness and mind. If they are confused and willful, and do not know how to cultivate their minds and elevate their souls, then as their skills gradually become deeper, the violent demons in their hearts will also become deeply rooted and it will become increasingly difficult to extricate themselves.

As the saying goes, only cultivating life without cultivating nature is the first problem in spiritual practice.

Any martial artist who aspires to become a master must cultivate both the body and the soul, returning to their original nature, from the inside out.

But Shi Zhixuan's life was out of balance, his mind was lost, and he was usually in a semi-crazy state. Now, with the stimulation of the evil emperor's relics, he was attacked by both internal and external demons, and almost went crazy.

Seeing Shi Zhixuan’s pale face, Kou Zhong came forward curiously and said, "Huh? Is it so exaggerated? Let me try!" After saying that, he stretched out his arm and grabbed the copper jar.

Like Shi Zhixuan, Kou Zhong's eyes blurred and a scene suddenly appeared in his mind of himself fighting bravely on the battlefield. The enemies around him were indestructible. He didn't know how much time had passed before he suddenly woke up.

He subconsciously let go, looking still frightened, "This thing is really weird!" Only then did he realize that his forehead was covered in cold sweat. He never wanted to experience this again in his life.

However, Shi Zhixuan praised him upon seeing this, "What a good character, you are indeed someone who can practice the Art of Immortality."

As a member of the Demon Sect, he knew the effect of the Evil Emperor's relics better than anyone else. It was not surprising that Kou Zhong was affected by the Evil Emperor's relics, but it was not easy for him to break free from the influence of the Evil Emperor's relics in a short period of time.

Kou Zhong wiped the sweat off his face, turned to Xu Ziling and said, "Xiaoling, you come and try it too!"

Xu Ziling shrugged, walked over and touched the copper jar, then he fell into a mental illusion, but he quickly came out of it in a shorter time than Kou Zhong.

"Xiao Ling, how are you?" Kou Zhong touched his shoulder with a wicked smile.

Xu Ziling smiled, still looking gentle and indifferent, "Not so good, it doesn't seem as difficult as when we were muddled through practicing the Immortality Skill."

"That's true."

Kou Zhong nodded and looked at Su Ming again, "Senior, how about you try it too?"

This kid is still thinking about watching my show. Su Ming laughed in silence, walked forward and directly took the copper pot out of the cave. The whole process was smooth and natural without any pause.

Shi Zhixuan's heart trembled. He was not affected at all?

The Xie Emperor's Relics were originally a burial object that the first generation of Xie Emperor Xie Bo accidentally discovered in an ancient tomb from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. When Xie Bo found it, it was placed under the neck of the tomb owner, covered with blood spots and crystal spots, because of its translucent crystalline properties.

This crystal ball seemed to contain some strange power, and had the strange property of absorbing and storing human essence and vital energy. This made Xie Bo ecstatic, and after years of research, he finally created a method to inject essence into the crystal ball. At that time, he was not far from his death, so before his death, he injected all his essence into the ball and asked the next generation to find a way to extract the essence in the ball.

All the evil emperors of all dynasties, unless they died suddenly, would inject their essence into the relics before they died according to their wills. This has also become the way of death chosen by all the leaders of the Tianxie Dao. Because of various changes, studying how to extract the essence from the relics has become a highly dangerous matter. If you are not careful, you may easily go astray.

As long as someone can extract the essence stored in the relics, it will be easy to double the power, which makes the successive generations more persistent. As for how to extract the essence in the relics, they are still at a loss. Until Xiang Yutian came out, with his natural talent, practiced the Tao Heart Planting Demon Method, and realized the method of extracting the essence of the relics. Xie Bo's dream was finally realized.

But after so many years of being infused with essence by successive evil emperors, the evil emperor's relics have stored a huge amount of essence energy, which can even penetrate the evil emperor's relics and affect the outside world.

As soon as Su Ming got it in his hand, he felt a chilly and evil aura, with hints of chaos, madness, death, and bloodthirstiness. It was huge and messy.

However, he had been walking steadily on the path of martial arts, with his spirit, energy and soul united as one. He was about to reach the end of the road to becoming a grandmaster, and the evil emperor's relics could not shake his mind.

Xiang Yutian figured out the method of extracting Yuan Jing and gave it to Zhu Yuyan, but this method was not difficult for Shi Zhixuan. He even figured out the Immortal Seal, so a simple method of extracting Yuan Jing should be easy for him.

For Su Ming, it was even simpler. The Dark Sea Returning Origin Energy transformed the myriad energy of heaven and earth for his own use, and it was easy to extract the essence. After getting the copper jar, he opened it. The jar was filled with dark water, and inside it lay a yellow crystal ball covered with blood-colored lines. In an instant, everyone's eyes gathered on it involuntarily. This was the treasure of the Demon Sect, the evil emperor's relic. Among the crowd, only Lu Miaozi had a subtle expression. He was cheated because of this thing and was trapped in Pegasus Ranch for decades. Now seeing it again, how could he not feel inexplicable emotion.

The moment the evil emperor's relic was in his hand, Su Ming extracted a wisp of essence and then frowned. This wisp of essence contained all kinds of yin energy, evil energy and other "impurities", and even all kinds of negative emotions.

A master like him who has achieved unity of essence, energy and spirit can ignore it and not be affected, but once he absorbs and refines it, his own essence will inevitably no longer be "pure", and his future path will be hindered.

But for ordinary warriors, these impurities come from the essence that successive evil sect masters infused into the relic crystal ball. If they inhale a little, it's fine. But once they inhale too much, they will inevitably be affected by these impurities. In the mildest case, their temperament will change drastically, and they will become mentally ill. In the worst case, their true energy will run wild and they will go astray.

Then, Su Ming crushed the impurities in this strand of essence, circulated it in his body for a cycle, and nodded secretly. The quality of this essence was very high, far superior to the true essence and internal energy that most masters of the world had cultivated for decades.

There are endless masters in the Demonic Sect, and the leaders of the Xieji Sect in all generations must be at least grandmasters, otherwise they would not be able to keep this thing. The innate essence of these top masters' lifelong skills is of very high quality. Even the death energy generated by the end of their lifespan is abnormally pure.

He weighed it over and thought to himself, if he could absorb all the essence in the evil emperor's relics, he could at least increase his strength by a hundred years, which would be a shortcut for ordinary people.

Of course, no matter how high the quality or quantity of these impurities, they are of no use to Su Ming. No matter how pure they are, can they be more pure than the essence transformed from the natural energy of heaven and earth? What's more, these essences have too many impurities, which will affect his three treasures of essence, energy and spirit. That's why he would not do such a thing that would destroy his own path.

However, the evil emperor's relics can store essence, and are indeed a rare treasure.

After getting it, he handed it to Shi Zhixuan without hesitation, "This is the evil emperor's relic you wanted."

However, Shi Zhixuan looked at the evil emperor's relic and shook his head, "I'd better leave it with you first. Now is not the time to use it. If you leave it with me, I might go crazy. When I'm ready, I'll come to you for it."

"Okay." Su Ming could not deny it, and looked at the others, "Let's go, we have finished looking at everything here, and let the soldiers move all these things away later."

"Brother Lu, if I remember correctly, this Yang Gong Treasury leads to Chang'an City, right?"

Lu Miaozi nodded, "Yes, it was designed when it was first built."

"Great! With this secret passage, Chang'an City can be conquered in a snap. Brother Lu, you have made another contribution."

A complicated look flashed in Lu Miaozi's eyes. "Mr. Su, you are too kind. When I built this treasure house, I never thought it would come in handy. Who could have thought of that?"

……

After leaving Yang Gong's treasury, Lu Miaozi reported it to Song Que, and then the Wu army soldiers began to move the weapons and gold and silver treasures in the treasury.

A few days later, a surprise force suddenly appeared in Chang'an City. The Zhou army defending the city was terrified and the people in the city were in panic. At this time, the Wu army launched an attack. Under the pressure from both inside and outside, Chang'an City was captured in one battle.

Refugees were fleeing in the streets and alleys, and the city was in chaos.

At the same time, in the Wu army camp, Shi Zhixuan was sitting cross-legged in his tent, concentrating his mind.

Su Ming held up the evil emperor's relic and said, "Brother Shi, the evil emperor's relic is good, but once used, the future path will be affected and it will be difficult to break the void."

Shi Zhixuan was slightly startled, with a conflict between his conscience and his desires in his heart. As a former grandmaster of the Demon Sect, he had also heard of Shattering the Void. It was suspected that the previous Demon Emperor Xiang Yutian had broken the void.

However, thinking of his current state, he sighed softly in his heart and decided to choose the lesser of two options and restore his Grandmaster realm first.

After so many years, he knew that it was basically hopeless for him to recover to the level of a grandmaster by himself with his own talent and ability, and he could only rely on external things.

There are two things in this world that can help him achieve this goal, one is the He Shi Bi, and the other is the evil emperor's relic.

However, the spiritual power emitted by the He Shi Bi can easily cause people to lose control and become possessed. His condition was not good to begin with, and if he was injured further, no one would be able to save him. He did not dare to gamble, so he could only choose the Evil Emperor's relic.

Shi Zhixuan's eyes flashed with determination, and he said in a deep voice, "I appreciate Brother Su's kindness, but I can't care about so many things now. Please help me protect the law."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Su Ming stopped trying to persuade him. He just fulfilled his agreement and handed the evil emperor's relic to him. Shi Zhixuan's mental trauma could not be healed, and his spirit was damaged. The huge essence in the evil emperor's relic could not only help him recover, but even help him go further.

Shi Zhixuan held the evil emperor's relic in his hand, and felt a cool and round feeling. The traces of regrets that came from the relic kept impacting his mind.

This time, he was well prepared and was not easily affected like last time. The next moment, he activated the Immortal Seal and guided the essence in the Evil Emperor's relics into his body.

The huge amount of essence seemed to have found a place to pour out, and it continuously flowed into Shi Zhixuan's body. He was like a bottomless abyss swallowing up the essence.

But as he absorbed the essence, a series of illusions emerged in his mind. This time, it was no longer a sea of ​​blood and corpses, but a series of unfamiliar figures. They were old or young, male or female, young or old, some were vigorous, some were struggling to survive, and some were cunning and treacherous...

The overwhelming emotions hit his mind like a tidal wave. Shi Zhixuan was like a small boat floating in the ocean, never tipping over, firmly holding on to the clarity in his heart.

He realized that these were masters of the Demonic Sect who had been infused with essence from generation to generation. Shi Zhixuan was not affected by these residual thoughts, but instead tried his best to comprehend the secrets of martial arts that were driven by these residual thoughts.

These are the secrets of the Demon Sect that are never passed on. He even comprehended the essence of the Evil Extreme Sect's method of planting the devil in the heart.

However, when he absorbed the essence, the true energy secretly contained a trace of the warrior's own spiritual will that had been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations, which gradually polluted the purity of Shi Zhixuan's innate divine will and made him no longer pure.

After a day and a night, a long howl was heard from the tent, the sound was heard for a hundred miles and lasted for a long time.

Shi Zhixuan, regained the status of Grand Master.
