The Heavens Start to Reverse Fate from Martial Arts

Chapter 251: Momentary Labyrinth, Enemy Following

Champion House.

The Divine Eagle King walked into the study and looked at Hong Yi, who was sitting at the desk reading quietly without showing any sign of urgency. A hint of admiration flashed across his eyes.

Today is the day when the imperial examination results will be announced, but this boy can sit here calmly and not be distracted by this matter. Such concentration is truly something few people can match.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have been restless and sent servants to inquire, or even go to the place where the notice was posted in person, and crowded with countless students, waiting anxiously.

"Minister, the person who brought the good news has arrived outside the palace. You have ranked first in this imperial examination. It is truly cause for celebration." The Divine Eagle King smiled faintly and bowed to congratulate him.

Hong Yi slowly raised his head, put down the book, stood up and tidied the desk, then he bowed and said in return: "Eagle King is thoughtful..." He walked around the desk and walked out of the study, tilted his head to look at the Eagle King, frowned and said: "Where is the Marquis?"

With my eldest brother's flamboyant personality, he would come in person to announce the good news. After thanking the person who came to announce the good news, he would hold a grand ceremony to publicize himself.

Now that he hasn't come, I guess he's been held up by something important, but I don't know how serious it is?

Thinking of this, the joy in my heart faded away instantly, and a trace of worry crept onto my cheek.

The eyes of the Divine Eagle King flickered slightly, and he said calmly: "As soon as the Marquis learned that you passed the imperial examination, he could not wait to enter the palace to ask for a title for your mother. Now he should be debating with the scholars in the Golden Palace..."

The Marquis has been overacting during this period, causing the Crown Prince and other princes' factions to become wary. Perhaps even the one sitting on the throne has had some ideas. This is not an easy thing to accomplish.

Hong Yi paused, his face showing a complicated expression, looking a little dazed.

During this period, the eldest brother treated him very well, just like his own eldest brother. He was considerate of everything, personally taught him martial arts and Taoism, and was generous with his spending, spending a lot of gold and silver to promote his name and build momentum.

Now, he is arguing endlessly with the officials in the court over his mother's affairs. This debt of gratitude... has become even more profound.

A faint smile appeared on the cold face of the Divine Eagle King: "Don't worry, the Marquis is becoming more and more steady. Since he dares to come to the palace to ask for a title, I think there will be no problem. Now, let's deal with the person who brought the good news outside the palace first."

Hong Yi let out a breath, nodded, and walked out of the study with the Divine Eagle King. Under the protection of many guards, they walked out of the mansion.

There were twenty guards behind him, two of them each carrying a heavy box filled with reward money prepared in advance.

……

In front of the main gate of the Marquis' Mansion, firecrackers were blasting and gongs and drums were beating.

A large group of yamen runners who came to announce the good news were waiting respectfully. Surrounding them were the sons of nobles who came to watch the excitement, as well as common people and merchants who came after hearing the news. The scene was extremely lively.

"The Champion Marquis has a unique vision. He saw Hong Yi's talent at a glance and was willing to humble himself to make friends with him. His vision and methods are extraordinary..."

"It all depends on whether Hong Yi can live up to his potential. If he can win three prizes in a row, some people might not be able to sleep well..."

"That's right, brother, what you said makes sense. Although it is unlikely that Hong Yilian will win the top three prizes, it makes people look forward to it for some reason..."

……

There were many similar discussions among the sons of officials and nobles.

As Hong Yi entered the Guanjun Marquis' Mansion, his past experiences were discovered and known by many people.

Marquis Wu Wen's reputation for being unkind, Madam Zhao's reputation for being a jealous woman, the lax governance in Marquis Wu Wen's mansion, and the incidents of slaves bullying their masters... all became topics of gossip among the people, and were discussed by many people after dinner.

Hong Xuanji's reputation suffered a considerable blow, and many people in Wu Wenhou's mansion secretly looked down upon him, and many of them secretly followed his advice.

Of course, these were all done by Yang An, and he did so more out of consideration for undermining the prestige of the prince's faction.

Since the idea of ​​​​seizing the throne has been hatched, the right thing to do is to actively undermine the reputation of the prince's faction.

Of course, these are just minor moves, casual chess moves that can be made at will.

The most important thing is to have strong personal strength and power. These are the key to success. The same goes for strength over skill.

Hong Yi walked out of the main gate of the Marquis' Mansion and saw how lively it was outside. He quickly called out to the guards behind him and gave out the reward money.

Afterwards, after exchanging some courtesies with the nobles and sons of the officials who came to express their gratitude, the crowd gradually dispersed, leaving behind a ground full of festive firecrackers and red confetti.

Just as Hong Yi turned to enter the mansion, six young men with their followers hurried over from a distance. Before they even got close, they immediately shouted their congratulations:
"Brother Hong, wait a moment!"

"Congratulations to Brother Hong for topping the high school list! Congratulations!"

"Brother Hong, I and a few of you are of the same age, and I have come to give you a gift. Please accept it."

As soon as he finished speaking, the servants who came with him hurriedly presented the gifts, along with a gift list.

Upon seeing this, the Divine Eagle King ordered his servants to take the gifts and clean the main street, and then he returned to his mansion.

Hong Yi hesitated for a moment, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he bowed in return, saying: "My fellow classmates are so quick to receive the good news so quickly."

Those who passed the imperial examination in the same year called each other "classmates". In a sense, their relationship was closer than that of brothers.

In the future, they will be good partners who support each other and form cliques for personal gain. Naturally, they must establish good relationships early on. This is also an important part of being an official.

These people are in Yujing, and those who can pass the imperial examination are all rich and have strong power behind them. They are not stupid, and they will be powerful people in the court or in the local areas in the future.

My eldest brother wants to compete for the position of crown prince, so the more talents the better. As the Minister of the Chancellery, I naturally have to manage the power of the Guanjun Marquis' Mansion well.

After Hong Yi understood all this, his smile became more sincere, and his politeness was so warm that no one could find fault with it.

The elder one among them smiled and explained, "Good news is always announced from the bottom. Brother Hong is at the top of the list, so he is naturally the last one to be notified."

Then he bowed and said, "Brother Hong, are you free? Come with us to the countryside to congratulate a few poor classmates. It will be a token of our support. Afterwards, we will go to see the Master together."

Another young man, waving a folding fan, said slowly, "Our master this time is the Minister of Rites, Lord Li Shenguang. We are lucky to have a good family background. If we were in other places, how could we be qualified to have a master like Lord Shangshu, who holds such a high position?"

"That's right, that's right..." The others nodded in agreement, looking very happy, and it was obvious that they were in a very good mood.

……

In the evening, after a round of social events, Hong Yi returned to the Guanjun Marquis' Mansion.

As soon as he stepped into the main hall of the Marquis' Mansion, he saw his eldest brother sitting at the head of the table with a frown on his face, and it was obvious that he was not in a good mood.

When Yang An saw Hong Yi coming, he concealed his expression, quickly stood up and greeted him with a smile, and came closer, saying with a smug look on his face: "Brother Yi, my elder brother has asked for the title of Madam for my aunt..."

Hong Yi asked worriedly, "Brother, are you in trouble? Is it because of my mother's matter?"

“Huh?” Yang An waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry, with the military merits I have accumulated over the years, it will be easy to confer the title of Madam on me.”

"Then what are you worried about, brother?" Hong Yi asked, his expression slightly relaxed.

Yang An rubbed his brows and said helplessly: "Emperor Qian ordered me to go to the border of the Western Region to guard it and preside over the subsequent war against Huo Luo Kingdom."

"Guarding a region may seem like a powerful position, comparable to that of a local lord, but once a war breaks out with Huo Luo, the Jing Yuan Temple will target you. You must know that the Yuan Qi God of the Jing Yuan Temple is a creator who has experienced seven thunder tribulations..."

Hong Yi's expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "This is a promotion in name only, a demotion in reality! Emperor Qian... is warning Big Brother!"

He immediately understood the seriousness of the situation. Emperor Qian was warning his elder brother, using a relatively gentle method to make him give up the idea of ​​​​seizing the throne.

If my brother insists on doing what he wants, his life may be in danger.

Yang An laughed at himself: "There is no family affection in the royal family. The ancients were right. I have been so patient. I just revealed a little bit of my intention to seize the throne, and Emperor Qian thought of a way to send me... to death!"

Hong Yi's face darkened, and he said solemnly: "Brother, we can't go to the border of the Western Region. Once we go, we will be stuck in shallow waters, with endless obstacles and no chance to rise again!"

On the border of the Western Regions, there are at least a million Daqian soldiers, and they are the elite among the elite.

The commander-in-chief of the Western Frontier, Yang Tuo, is the mighty king whose influence spreads across the two states of Sha and Chi, the younger uncle of Emperor Qian, a staunch royalist, and a top martial saint.

It is nothing but a pipe dream to seize power from such a person.

Yang An smiled proudly: "Brother Yi, don't worry. In the end, the strong will prevail in this world. The strong will never complain about the environment, they will only work hard to become stronger, strong enough to reverse everything."

Seeing that Hong Yi was still trying to persuade him, he quickly waved his hand to change the subject and asked with a smile, "You didn't get to enter Lord Minister Li's mansion today, did you?"

Hong Yi's heart moved, and he frowned and said, "Brother, are you saying that there is another hidden story?"

“Smart.” Yang An snapped his fingers and smiled faintly: “Hong Xuanji went to the examination room and wanted to put pressure on you.”

"Lord Li argued with reason and even threatened to ring the Yangyang Bell, but he almost failed to save your title. Fortunately, my brother arrived in time, otherwise you would have failed this time."

Upon hearing this, Hong Yi clenched his fists, anger flashed in his eyes, and he shouted, "Ridiculous! As a Grand Master, you are so shady in order to suppress me, and you use your power to interfere in the imperial examination ceremony. How is this different from a treacherous minister?"

Yang An laughed: "It's right to feel frustrated and angry. I feel the same as you. However, big brother, I am confident that I can cut through all obstacles along the way, crush all enemies along the way, and achieve my wish."

"Brother Yi, you are still lacking in ambition. This time, you can follow me into the army to gain some experience. Accumulate some military merits, and after the next imperial examination, you can raise your reputation."

"I'll follow everything arranged by big brother!" Hong Yi responded solemnly.

Yang An smiled cheerfully and said, "Let's go. This incident happened suddenly, so I won't have any celebration banquet for you. This time, I'll just have a family dinner in the mansion so that everyone can improve their relationship with each other."

Hong Yi suppressed his worries and walked towards the living room with his eldest brother.

……

Deep in the turbulent flow of the void.

The yin and yang energies flow, and the five elements shine into the sky.

Wang Yi stood on the golden bridge with his hands behind his back, breaking through layers of space at an extremely fast speed, searching for the mysterious energy in the dark, and headed towards the Jiuyuan Divine Realm.

The ancient Jiuyuan Divine Realm is also known as the Tomb of Immortals.

Many monks, when their lifespan is about to end, will choose to enter it to seek a breakthrough, or directly achieve nirvana.

Therefore, a lot of pure thoughts, magical instruments, natural treasures... and even ancient treasures have accumulated in it. It can be said to be a treasure land in the Yangshen world.

Of course, the only things that caught his eye were the "Kong" immortality fruit, the Posha tree, and the Ancestral God Mountain, but of course the rest of the scraps should not be missed either.

Soon, Jinqiao arrived in a strange place.

"The momentary maze... the moment of life and death..." Wang Yi's eyes were filled with mysterious light as he scanned the world, exploring the mystery of this place.

The turbulence in the void is surging, and the force of space is disordered.

One hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred black hole tunnels are arranged in the void, shaped like a heart, changing their position sixty times with every snap of the fingers, with no regularity at all.

The Momentary Labyrinth is the entrance to the Jiuyuan Divine Realm, also known as the heart of heaven and earth. The black hole tunnel of one element can lead to any place in heaven and earth.

But ninety-nine percent of them are places where one is bound to die. Even if a powerful creator enters by mistake, he may die and turn into ashes.

"The breath of the end... and the breath of the same origin."

The mysterious light in Wang Yi's eyes became brighter and more mysterious. As his analysis of the Momentary Maze deepened, he felt the breath of the end of the era. That was the breath of birth when the heaven and earth collapsed and all things returned to the ruins.

The same aura comes from the connection between the Divine Stone Spirit Embryo and the Nine Abyss Divine Realm. The Momentary Labyrinth is known as the heart of heaven and earth, and it has the same origin as the Divine Stone Spirit Embryo, a wonder of heaven and earth, and naturally has the same aura.

The original source in Wang Yi's body was surging, and as his eyes opened and closed, with the help of the naturally similar original aura, he instantly locked onto the black hole tunnel leading to the Jiuyuan Divine Realm.

"Hah!" The blood and energy surged, and a long river of blood rushed up into the sky, dyeing the void like a sea of ​​blood. The chaotic turbulence of the void suddenly calmed down.

"Five Great Demonic Bodies!"

Wang Yi's figure flashed, revealing a nine-foot-long body of a god or demon. The source energy around him roared like a dragon, and chaotic runes surged and intertwined. The Taoist patterns on his body were ancient, and his aura was vast and boundless, like an eternal god or demon, with boundless divine power.

"Five Tai Rotation - Chaos Seal!"

He clenched his fists, and the power in his body surged and boiled.

The divine tide surged out from the 1296 major orifices. Within the thought of one yuan, the five elements rotated, the world was born and died, and the innate power of the five elements surged.

Chaos runes spread throughout the void, and the five innate powers rotated, intertwined, and merged. Under the integration of the chaos color source energy, all the forces gathered in the raised right fist, forming a chaos-colored seal surrounded by blood.

The heaven and earth could not bear its weight, the space was shattered, the years stopped, the laws were broken, and as the chaotic mist surged, the black hole tunnel of one number stopped for a moment.

Wang Yi's eyes narrowed, and the Chaos Seal slammed down.

The roar resounded throughout the void, and his body moved with the seal, turning into a chaotic light, and violently smashed into one of the black hole tunnels and disappeared.

The next moment, the vast void where the maze was located collapsed bit by bit, becoming a hundred times more chaotic than before.

Countless destructive forces collided and annihilated each other, and a terrifying void storm was born. Wherever it passed, space was annihilated and all things ceased to exist. This place became a complete Jedi.

"This person is very cautious... and his strength is terrifying."

A long voice was heard, and a portal turned from virtual to real, standing still in the storm. A strange figure appeared in the portal.

His upper body is that of a sturdy man, but his lower body is like a dragon or a snake.

She was wearing a long robe made of flowing brocade. Her hair was tied up. It was very long, black with a hint of purple, and flashing with an enchanting luster.

"It seems that you, Meng Shenji, had anticipated this, otherwise you wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to the wilderness to find me, the old ape."

The Sky Demon Ape, Ba., revealed a ten-meter-tall body, and looked at Yuanqi Shen with fear, as well as Meng Shenji, who was slowly revealing his figure.

"Lead the way..." Meng Shenji spoke indifferently and didn't want to say any more nonsense.

At this moment, his aura was more ethereal and his momentum was more dignified. It was obvious that he had survived the eighth thunder tribulation and, with some unknown method, solved the weak period after the tribulation.

"Follow closely..." Ba snorted lightly, and activated the Moment Sutra with all his strength. He stretched out his furry big hands, roughly tore open the void in front of him, looking for the mysterious energy in the dark, and rushed into the depths of space.

Meng Shen Ji and Yuan Qi Shen followed silently, the void closed, and an endless storm surged, erasing all traces.
