Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 465: Hun Tian Bao Jian
"What should I do?!" Guo Rong was shocked after hearing the incarnation's words. He immediately understood that since the incarnation would say this, there must be a solution.

He immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the incarnation, begging, "Master, please have mercy on me and save me."

"Alas, your life force is exhausted and your organs are damaged. This is beyond my ability." The incarnation said bluntly: "If Xiang Wuhen had not reserved 50% of his strength to challenge the original body, you would not be alive today. If possible, you can ask Huangfu Ji for help. His Hun Tian Bao Jian was born from Nuwa, so he may be able to help."

"Huangfu Ji?" Guo Rong thought that he had become disloyal to Huangfu Ji, and it would be extremely difficult to ask him to save him.

The incarnation saw Guo Rong like this, and out of compassion, he said: "In addition to the Hun Tian Bao Jian, which is based on the Heaven-Repairing Divine Stone and created by the goddess Nuwa, and can integrate various natural energies and life essences, there is actually another set of martial arts that can save you."

Guo Rong heard that there was a way, and he felt hopeful. "Master, may I ask, what martial arts is it?"

“Sacred Heart Technique.” The incarnation said a name, “If this technique is practiced to the peak state, it can make the owner immortal, keep youth forever, and even resurrect the dead.”

Upon hearing this, Guo Rong hurriedly asked, "Sacred Heart Technique? Master, where can I find this set of martial arts?"

"This set of martial arts is in Li Chenzhou's hands."

Upon hearing this, Guo Rong looked dejected and depressed.

It was not only because he knew that Li Chenzhou would never pass this skill to him, but he also learned that this future opponent who would compete with him for supremacy in the world actually had an immortal body that many emperors had struggled their entire lives to obtain.

This means that he won't have to worry about his lifespan.

Throughout history, there have been countless heroes whose ambitions could not be fulfilled due to their short lifespan.

Great rulers like the Qin Emperor and Han Wudi, in their later years, sought the way of immortality in an attempt to prolong their lifespans.

A strong enemy is not to be feared, as long as you live longer than him, you can defeat him naturally. The story of Sima Yi is common in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad.

It is normal for Guo Rong to behave like this.

Even Zhao Kuangyin was shocked when he heard this. He clenched his fists and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Well, there is always a way out. Since Huangfu Ji wants to use you, he will never sit idly by and watch you die." After waking up Guo Rong, the incarnation had no intention of saying anything more to him and signaled him to leave.

"Your injury has been healed, you can leave now. However, I want Zhao Kuangyin to stay." The incarnation specifically asked Zhao Kuangyin to stay.

When speaking, the incarnation deliberately used his internal strength so that everyone present could hear him.

"This..." Guo Rong showed hesitation, and certainly not because he cared about Zhao Kuangyin's life.

But as a leader, he has to sacrifice the lives of his subordinates in order to save his own life.

Everyone present was watching, especially on New Tang territory. He didn't believe that Li Chenzhou would be so kind as not to spread the matter.

If he wanted to save his life, he would have to hand over Zhao Kuangyin who had escorted him all the way.

If this matter were to get out, his reputation would be ruined and no one would be willing to join him.

But if it doesn't last long, with the abilities displayed by the avatar and the fact that he is in enemy territory, he will definitely not be able to escape unscathed.

Just when Guo Rong was extremely confused, a voice came in and solved his problem.

"Prince, I am willing to stay." After seeing Guo Rong's true face, Zhao Kuangyin had other thoughts in his mind and expressed his willingness to stay.

"My dear, please don't do that. I will never use the lives of my generals as bargaining chips." Guo Rong was overjoyed, but he didn't show it at all. With a righteous look, he said to the incarnation: "Master, you saved my life. If you want to take it, please do so!"

"Prince, you must not do this." Zhao Kuangyin came close to Guo Rong, holding a sword across his neck, looking loyal, "Prince, your life is tied to the Later Zhou Dynasty and the safety of thousands of people. You must not take risks again. Today I will sacrifice my own life in exchange for your safety. It's worth it!" "My dear." Guo Rong showed his acting skills and looked like he was reluctant to give up.

The soldiers watching were all moved by the picture of loyal ministers and wise rulers before them.

The incarnation had no intention of watching this drama any further, and said, "Monks do not tell lies. I left Zhao Kuangyin here to tell him something, not to harm him. The prince can rest assured."

After getting the incarnation's guarantee, Guo Rong no longer had any worries.

Even so, he put on a show, pretending to be reluctant to leave, and led the guards away.

He returned to Later Zhou and went to Huangfu Ji to seek medical treatment.

After Guo Rong left, he was treated with courtesy by the commander of Tongguan and moved into the Guannei Post Station with Zhao Kuangyin.

After moving into the post station, Zhao Kuangyin ordered the postman to prepare sumptuous food and started eating and drinking.

The incarnation had already cultivated to an extremely high level. He had long ago reached the stage of fasting and did not need to eat or drink. He sat quietly in meditation and enlightenment, and was not affected by Zhao Kuangyin at all.

(When Qin Jiaxian first met Yi Ye Shu, Yi Ye Shu once said that he was an otherworldly person. Even the steamed buns on the table were just carved out of stone for decoration.)
After Zhao Kuangyin had eaten and drunk his fill, he said, "Zhao Kuangyin, you volunteered to stay here, and you are so defenseless, aren't you afraid that I will attack you?"

"Master, you are willing to help even Guo Rong, let alone a small soldier like me? Besides, monks don't lie. Since the master has given the guarantee, how can Zhao judge a gentleman with a mean heart?"

Previously in Shuangfei Fort, Zhao Kuangyin focused all his attention on Li Chenzhou.

But after this incident, Zhao Kuangyin had already understood the incarnation's character.

He was able to heal Guo Rong's injuries without holding grudges and even give him advice on how to prolong his life. His incarnation's personality was completely different from Li Chenzhou's, and he was obviously a high-level monk.

Hearing this, the incarnation laughed and said, "Nobody? If even you, who possesses the dragon energy of the emperor, are nobody, then no one in this vast world can be called a hero."

"Master, just say whatever you want to say. If there is anything I can do, I will do my best." When Zhao Kuangyin heard the emperor's dragon aura, he couldn't help but think of Li Chenzhou.

Zhao Kuangyin, whose sore spot was touched upon, had no intention of continuing the argument with the incarnation.

"I left you here because I need you for two things."

"What's the matter?"

"The first thing is for you to tell Xiang Wuhen that I will take over the decisive battle in a month on behalf of Li Chenzhou. I will go to the appointment then."

Zhao Kuangyin said in embarrassment: "Master, this is inappropriate. Xiang Wuhen wants to challenge Li Chenzhou, not you."

The incarnation said nonchalantly: "You can reply to Xiang Wuhen like this. Li Chenzhou has entrusted all the affairs of the martial arts world to me. I will naturally accept his challenge. If he can't even defeat me, then he has no right to challenge Li Chenzhou."

"Okay, Master, I will definitely convey your words. Master, what about the other matter?"

"There is another matter that requires your personal help." The incarnation suddenly attacked before he finished speaking.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't have time to react and was hit on vital acupoints all over his body, and was temporarily subdued.

Thanks to Wu Mengsheng for the reward.

Thanks to Dutianshensha Zhoutianxingchen for the reward.
