The Heavens Start to Reverse Fate from Martial Arts

Chapter 200 Jingyan Palace, you have made a breakthrough? !
Time flies, and five years have passed in the blink of an eye.

On the Liuma Plain, low mountains stretch like a dragon's spine, and hills and valleys of varying depths crisscross.

Among the low mountains and hills, countless Jinyiwei dressed in flying fish uniforms, controlling mechanical white tigers, shuttled through the complex terrain and carried out carpet-style excavations.

The mechanical white tiger is huge in size, nearly two meters tall. It is a rare and unique artifact that represents the culmination of the first immortal engineering revolution in the Sui Dynasty.

It is for this reason that Lu Miaozi's name as the Saint of Mo is well-known among the people.

Kou Zhong was wearing a Feiyu suit, with an embroidered spring sword on his waist. He looked at the busy people around him and sighed weakly, "Alas... I have been in Liuma Plain for half a year. I really don't know when I can find the legendary Jingyan Palace?"

He sat astride the mechanical white tiger's back, pressed his left hand on the dark golden talisman, and used his true energy as a medium to control the mechanical white tiger, digging at the location marked by Xu Ziling.

The mechanical white tiger is not like any ordinary thing in the mortal world. It is made entirely of steel, with its surface covered with talismans and cloud patterns, and a low-grade spirit crystal embedded in its abdomen as a power source.

With the help of talismans and array patterns, warriors use the medium of true qi to give spirituality to inanimate objects, thereby controlling the mechanical white tiger to move flexibly.

The sharp claws of the mechanical beast are forged from a special alloy and are extremely sharp. They can split mountains and rocks as easily as taking something from a bag.

Xu Ziling was dressed as a Taoist priest, standing on a huge rock with a compass in his hand. He looked around and silently calculated the direction of the terrain.

Hearing Kou Zhong's weak words, he smiled faintly and said, "The national master calculated the secrets of heaven and just calculated the location where Jingyan Palace was born. As long as our luck is not too bad, you and I can both get a generous amount of merit points."

Merit points are part of the court’s internal reward system.

It can be exchanged in the Sutra Pavilion for many unique achievements, magic weapons, elixirs, etc., which is also a key indicator for promotion of officials.

Kou Zhong curled his lips and muttered, "That being said, digging day after day is really boring."

Xu Ziling shook his head and reminded, "No matter how bored you are, you have to continue. This opportunity was fought for by Senior Lu Miaozi and Senior Ning Daoqi. Others would not have this opportunity even if they wanted it."

Since Your Majesty wiped out the countries in the Western Regions, and the Grand Commandant Li Jing conquered Goguryeo, Khitan and other foreign countries, Your Majesty officially offered sacrifices to the gods on Mount Tai, and the Great Sui Dynasty was established.

In just five years, the development of the Great Sui Dynasty can be described as rapid.

With tens of millions of foreign captives engaged in the most arduous civil engineering and other heavy projects, the people of the Sui Dynasty were completely liberated.

Coupled with the assistance of many strange mechanisms, the entire Jiuzhou is changing every day, and all aspects are developing in full swing.

It is recorded in the Great Sui Weekly that His Majesty called this change the first immortal revolution.

After hearing what Xu Ziling said, Kou Zhong's expression became more serious, but he still couldn't help complaining, "I, Kou Zhong, have all these skills, but I have to spend all day here with the dirt. I don't know when this will end."

Xu Ziling chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Young Master Zhong. I heard that His Majesty is thinking of launching an expedition to the four seas. If you can seize the opportunity, you may be able to achieve wealth and glory."

I am not very interested in wealth and glory, but as a brother of Kou Zhong, I naturally have to find a way to help him achieve his wish.

Just then, a cry of surprise suddenly came from a distance.

Kou Zhong immediately drove the mechanical white tiger towards the source of the shouting. Xu Ziling took a step forward and followed behind silently like a breeze.

When a Jinyiwei saw Kou Zhong coming, he shouted excitedly: "Master Qianhu, the underground cave we discovered this time is very large. There is a high probability that it is the entrance to Jingyan Palace."

Kou Zhong jumped off the mechanical white tiger and came to the edge of the deep pit to take a closer look.

The pit was very deep, and due to the limited lighting conditions, it was impossible to see its exact depth. However, based on the size of the space seen, the probability that Jingyan Palace was inside it was indeed quite high.

Kou Zhong stood up, looked at Xu Ziling who was holding a compass, and asked, "Ziling, do you see anything?"

Xu Ziling observed it carefully, frowned slightly and said: "The Feng Shui pulse of this place is quite peculiar, and it seems to have a mystery. But whether it is the entrance to Jingyan Palace or not, further exploration is needed."

Kou Zhong's face lit up with joy, and he waved his hand and said, "What are you waiting for? Send someone down to take a look first."

"Master Qian Hu, I'll do it! I'll do it!" Immediately, several nimble Jinyiwei asked for orders. After Kou Zhong nodded in approval, they quickly found a rope and slowly descended into the pit.

Time passed by minute by minute, and everyone waited anxiously outside the pit.

Suddenly, there was an excited shout from below the pit: "Sir, there is a passage here, which seems to lead deep underground!"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other, and a hint of joy flashed in their eyes.

The other Jinyiwei were all cheered up when they heard this.

Kou Zhong waved his hand and said, "Brothers, get ready. Let's go down there and investigate first."

Kou Zhong was the first to go down the rope, followed closely by Xu Ziling. When they reached the bottom of the cave, they saw that the passage was deep and mysterious, and no one knew where it led to.

Everyone lit torches and walked carefully along the passage.

The walls of the passage are engraved with mysterious runes and patterns, which are so blurry that it is difficult to see clearly.

The group soon arrived at the end of the passage, and what they saw was a huge bottomless pit.

The Jinyiwei at the front threw the torch in his hand into the deep pit, and only withdrew his gaze when the flames disappeared completely. He turned around and reported: "Sir, this is a bottomless rock pit. I'm afraid the ropes we brought are not enough."

Kou Zhong poked his head out and peered down into the deep pit, frowning and asking, "Could this be the entrance to Jingyan Palace?"

Xu Ziling retracted his gaze and shook his head, saying, "It's hard to say. It's best to send the information back immediately and ask a strong person with the ability to fly to come and investigate."

Kou Zhong understood and quickly took out the thousand-household token from his arms. He tapped the runes on the front of the token with both hands and quickly passed the information on.

He put away the token, glanced at the people around him, and said with a smile: "Okay, the information has been sent back, everyone just wait here with peace of mind. As long as we wait for someone from above to confirm it, we will get all the credit we deserve."

Upon hearing this, everyone's tense nerves relaxed a little, and a look of joy unconsciously appeared on their faces. They sat in groups of three or four to rest and wait.

……

Liuma Plains Camp.

Yu Wenzhi hurriedly walked into the central army tent, came to Wang Yi who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, clasped his fists and reported: "State Master, Kou Zhong sent a message saying that he found the entrance to Jingyan Palace."

Wang Yi slowly opened his eyes and chuckled, "Luck is indeed mysterious." He looked at Xiang Yutian, Ning Daoqi, Ziyang Zhenren, Song Que and others beside him, and stood up and said, "Let's go. I am really looking forward to the War God Atlas, the first of the Four Great Achievements."

Xiang Yutian stood up and asked in surprise: "Is the real master so sure?"

Ning Daoqi and others were also surprised. Why was Master Taiyi so sure that they could enter the extremely mysterious Jingyan Palace?

True Man Zi Yang reminded solemnly, "The Jingyan Palace has existed since ancient times. It is a world of its own and moves spontaneously following the trajectory of the stars in the sky. It only appears once every seventy years. There is also a magic dragon guarding the War God Temple. It is not only extremely difficult to find but also very dangerous."

Compared with others, he understood the dangers of Jingyan Palace better.

This was a great pity for the seniors in the sect. They had the honor to enter the Jingyan Palace, but unfortunately, due to their lack of strength, they were defeated and retreated after a battle with the guardian dragon. In addition to obtaining some dragon blood, they did not gain anything else. In order to plot against Buddhism, the dragon blood was also integrated into the body of Li Yuanba, the third son of Li Yuan. It was a good opportunity, but in the end, nothing was left.

"Okay, everyone follow me." Wang Yi waved his hand to interrupt others and walked out of the tent.

Everyone said no more and came out of the tent one after another. Then, under the watchful eyes of many Jinyiwei and soldiers, they quickly broke through the air and left.

……

"We are here to see the Imperial Master, the Commander-in-Chief."

When Kou Zhong saw Wang Yi and his group coming, a look of surprise unconsciously appeared on his face, and he quickly called for a group of Jinyiwei to come forward to greet them.

"Hello, seniors." Xu Ziling took a few steps forward, bowed and saluted solemnly.

As a Taoist, he was only a non-staff member of the imperial court, so he did not need to be as formal as Kou Zhong and others when performing etiquette.

Wang Yi's eyes lingered on Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite."

After saying this, he came to the edge of the deep pit and stood still. His mind spread silently towards the bottom of the deep pit, and soon a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"It is indeed the location of Jingyan Palace. Follow me." Wang Yi flashed and flew quickly towards the bottom of the pit.

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yutian and the others were shocked and quickly jumped into the deep pit.

"Temple of the God of War..." Kou Zhong watched Wang Yi and his group disappear, a look of longing appearing on his face.

Xu Ziling retracted his gaze, patted Kou Zhong on the shoulder, and said comfortingly: "According to the temperament of the National Master, as long as he has enough merit points, he may have the opportunity to comprehend the War God Atlas."

Even the extraordinary achievements such as the Art of Immortality, the Heavenly Demon Strategy, the Cihang Sword Canon, the Huangtian Great Method, the Yanyang Miraculous Achievement, and the Sutra of Wisdom on the Origin of Controlling All Laws can be exchanged for merit points. I think the God of War Atlas will be no exception.

According to the rules of the Sutra Pavilion, if the merit points are sufficient, any item in the Sutra Pavilion can be exchanged for merit points.

Kou Zhong nodded silently, turned around and said, "Brothers, let's retreat first." He didn't want to be implicated by those people below. Who knows what kind of accidents will happen. Now that he has achieved the credit, it is better to get away from this dangerous place as soon as possible.

"We will follow the orders of the captain." A group of Jinyiwei followed with joy on their faces, and soon they disappeared around the corner of the passage.

……

Wang Yi glanced at the huge net woven with hemp ropes under him, took a step forward, and flew towards the distance with a clear goal, with everyone following closely behind him.

After wandering around for a cup of tea, my vision suddenly became clear.

An ancient, majestic and solemn palace complex came into view.

The entire palace complex is built of marble-like materials, with palaces standing in rows and covering a vast area. The palaces and attics are connected by exquisite corridors, forming a mysterious terrain.

The main hall at the deepest part is nine zhang high, with the door tightly closed. Mysterious runes and strange patterns are carved on it, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

Zi Yang Zhenren looked at the three insect and bird characters carved on the main gate and recited excitedly: "Jingyan Palace! That's right, I never thought we could find it so easily, it's really a blessing."

"Such a scene is worthy of the name of Jingyan Palace." Song Que tightened the knife in his hand and couldn't help but admire.

Xiang Yutian stared at the main entrance of the main hall with a burning gaze, and reminded in a serious manner: "It is not yet time for Jingyan Palace to be born. We'd better wait a little longer."

Ning Daoqi stroked his long beard and said solemnly: "In such a mysterious place, we must be cautious to avoid triggering the arrangements of the owner of this place."

Wang Yi's eyes were filled with mysterious light. He glanced around slowly, then retracted his gaze and exclaimed: "The Jingyan Palace is connected to the earth veins below and the twenty-eight constellations above. It contains the universe and heaven, forming a mysterious formation of its own. What an incredible method."

Yu Wenzhi retracted his gaze and asked in confusion: "Why can't I see the Temple of the God of War?"

True Man Zi Yang explained in a solemn voice: "According to the records in our sect, Jingyan Palace is backed by a mountain. Once you enter it, you will see another world. The legendary Temple of the God of War is hidden inside."

"Everyone follow me." Wang Yi nodded in understanding, called out, and flew towards Jingyan Palace.

Although Ning Daoqi and others were worried, when they thought of the terrifying strength of Master Taiyi, they gritted their teeth and followed.

Soon the group arrived in front of the gate of Jingyan Palace.

"Open it for me!" Xiang Yutian came to the stone gate, his clothes moved without wind, and he raised his hands and pushed hard.

Click...

The stone door slowly opened up a finger-width gap, and then no matter how hard Xiang Yutian tried, the two heavy stone doors did not move at all.

"Evil Emperor, I'm here to help you." True Man Zi Yang took a step forward, placed one palm on the stone door, and pushed forward with all his internal strength.

Ning Daoqi, Song Que and Yu Wenzhi quickly rushed forward to help.

Terrifying strong winds swept around, the ground cracked and dust rose up into the sky, ripples appeared in the void, and finger-long black cracks appeared and disappeared from time to time.

With the combined efforts of several people, the stone door slowly opened, but after a fist-sized gap was opened, it became motionless again.

Wang Yi looked around with a strange look in his eyes, and said calmly: "Under the interconnected formation, pushing the palace door is equivalent to lifting the entire palace complex and the void where Jingyan Palace is located. This is no longer as heavy as a mountain."

Xiang Yutian frowned and withdrew his hand. Ning Daoqi and others also withdrew their hands with serious expressions. They all looked at Wang Yi, and there was a hint of expectation in their eyes.

"It's a good time to experiment and see how powerful I will be after the promotion." Wang Yi smiled, slowly walked to the stone gate and stood still, clenching his fist and slowly raising it up.

As he moved, materialized source energy emitting like immortal light emerged from his body, and a terrifying aura emanated from his body, forcing everyone except Xiang Yutian to retreat.

"You made a breakthrough?!" Xiang Yutian was shocked and chose to fly back without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Zi Yang Zhenren, Song Que, Ning Daoqi, Yu Wenzhi and the others were also extremely shocked. Without waiting for their bodies to stabilize, they quickly retreated to a distance again.

Everyone was shocked. Master Taiyi was already a powerful person. After this breakthrough, what level would his strength reach? An immortal?
The fist print wrapped in materialized source energy fell heavily on the stone gate of Jingyan Palace like a sacred mountain collapsing.

boom--

Amidst the earth-shaking roar, unimaginable terrifying power erupted in an instant.

The powerful impact force spread wildly in all directions with the stone gate as the center. The void was instantly pierced, revealing a long cut.

The extremely heavy stone gate was instantly turned into powder, and the aftermath was raging. The entire palace complex shook violently under the sweeping force, and palaces and pavilions collapsed one after another, with bricks, stones and rubble flying all over the sky.

Amid the dust, Wang Yi stood firmly, surrounded by the source of immortal light, like an invincible god of war.

Xiang Yutian and the others swallowed subconsciously, looking at the palace complex that had turned into ruins before them, and gained a new understanding of Wang Yi's power.
