Cosmic Demon

Chapter 185 The taboo buried by the nine generals together!
"Brother Xu, can you all carve your own name here?"

Qin Shi rubbed his hot eyebrows and suppressed the movement of his sea of ​​consciousness.

"After you have received the initiation of the light from the outer world, you can leave your name."

Xu Sheng said with a smile.

It is an honor to have your name recorded together with the ten great men of the first generation. Which young man would not want to stand shoulder to shoulder with those predecessors who shined brightly in the starry sea?

"I'll carve the characters next to He Lanchan later. I'll definitely be better than him!"

Qin Shi thought silently.

He felt that if Lao Liang saw it, his idol filter would be shattered again.

After all, he is a legendary figure who is half a step away from being a martial god, but why is his handwriting so poor?

"The altar is in front, you can go in alone."

Xu Sheng stopped and stood outside the ruined temple.

The Void Altar is usually sealed, and only the winner of the wilderness trial can enter with a token of authenticity.

Later, the trial was called off and only a few spots were left, which became a delicious cake that various factions of the Martial Arts Association fought over.

The Hengzhou Martial Arts Association's restarting of the wilderness trial may be a way of allocating resources to avoid fierce disputes.

"Here is the certificate, take it. By the way, accepting the initiation of the outer world's light is dangerous. Although this is the beginner level, you have not yet crossed the threshold of the professional field. If Senior Zhang hadn't said that your mortal body has broken through the three major limits and is enough to hold on until the end, I would not have brought you here."

Xu Sheng warned that he didn't want the successor of Nanhuang Taoist Temple to cause any accidents.

Otherwise, you will be like yellow mud falling into your crotch, and you will not be able to explain yourself.

"Thank you, Brother Xu, for the reminder."

Qin Shi took the card-like token of receipt, took a look at the dilapidated temple that had stood here for countless years, calmed himself down a little, and walked in.

Boo!
The body seemed to pass through a layer of bubbles, with sticky air currents wrapping around the skin and even the breathing slightly stagnating.

When Qin Shi opened his eyes again, the scene changed, like a kaleidoscope opening and disappearing, and a large area of ​​empty space spread out.

He looked down at the dark and deep ground beneath his feet and felt secretly frightened.

If I hadn't stepped on solid ground, I would have almost fallen.

"Is this a 'small world' created by one party?"

The card in Qin Shi's hand glowed and flashed suddenly.

It was as if I had passed the access control, and the vague invisible rejection disappeared instantly.

"My identity is recognized? Otherwise, I will be kicked out."

Qin Shi felt novel. It was the first time he was in such a mysterious and empty space.

Stepping forward calmly, there is a finely carved lotus stone base.

Xu Sheng had explained that if one wanted to receive the light from the heavens and have a bath in it, all one had to do was sit on it.

But the prerequisite is that one must endure the light of heaven entering the body, causing restlessness in the flesh and blood, and mental confusion.

"The greatest benefit of breaking the physical limit is to perfectly control the body and harness the mind and body."

Qin Shi bent over and sat on it, crossing his legs with his palms facing the sky.

Operate the self-cultivation furnace and practice the mind branding meditation method to achieve harmony between spirit and body and maintain balance.

This step may be difficult for others.

The spirit and the flesh are like water and oil mixed together, they cannot be separated.

The flesh and blood of the martial arts path are very active, which means that the "spirit of oneself" overrides the mind, and the reaction is often quick and the thoughts are flashing.

On the contrary, the spiritual power of the psychic path is too strong, the mind is bigger than the mortal body, the thinking is quick, but the actions are slow.

To achieve coordination between the spirit and the body and maintain balance, one needs great patience to sense, adapt and grasp all kinds of details.

"The unity of spirit and flesh is a natural gift, which saves a lot of effort."

Qin Shi sat on the lotus stone seat, and the rhythm of his breathing and the frequency of his thoughts soon became synchronized.

Immediately, as if a countdown began, an obvious gap opened up above the void.

It slowly expanded until it was as thick as a bucket, and the brilliant light was drawn in, converging and merging.

Looking up, it looks like a waterfall rushing and falling down.

boom!
It is extremely dazzling, like a small sun falling rapidly!
"Grass!"

Qin Shi felt a chill in his heart, and the light from the sky entered his body. In just a moment, his skin turned red inside out, as if he had been cooked.

The violent energy surged through the body like a tide, like boiling water being stirred, burning the internal organs.

pain!It hurts so much!
This was Qin Shi’s only feeling.

The mortal body that broke through the three limits was as fragile as a piece of paper and was torn apart directly.

Although he closed his eyes, due to his outstanding mental strength, he could "see" the tragic situation of cracked skin and bloody scars.

And the subtlety of the mind makes this torment even clearer.

"The activity of the flesh and blood has increased dramatically, ushering in a transformation!"

Qin Shi felt severe pain but also enjoyed it.

It was as if he was back in his mother's womb, and he experienced the feeling of "growth" after a long time.

The life force was nurtured and nourished, causing his flesh and blood to expand infinitely, and golden particles like stars were born from it.

“No wonder in the old martial arts schools, everyone who wanted to break the limit was eager to bathe in the sunlight.”

Qin Shi suddenly realized that the bright sky light was brought down from outside the planet. Its essence was like a cosmic jet, containing extremely violent energy.

If a mortal body can withstand it and allow it to penetrate the flesh and blood, it can have the effect of cleansing, transforming, and aiding growth.

"The level of the self-cultivation furnace is constantly advancing."

Qin's cracked skin was repaired, and the powerful and abundant flesh and blood were active, bonding and mending the wounds.

The skin tore and grew again, gradually revealing a lustrous luster like white jade.

"The fourth limit has been opened."

Qin Shi truly felt that the lines carved into his body concealed terrifying explosive power.

If the self before receiving the enlightenment of heaven's light were asked to punch the self at this moment with all his strength.

"I can probably dissipate about 70% of the attack! The ultimate limit of the skin level, the most exquisite force elimination!"

Qin Shi endured the burning pain of the sunlight entering his body and raised his hand to press his arm.

He found that the applied force was like pouring into a huge sponge, and his own flesh and blood moved rapidly, weakening it layer by layer and distributing it everywhere.

This is the magic of the leather gate, it makes all external forces disappear into the sea like a drop in the ocean!

"The fourth great limit has been opened, and a new life and transformation will come! Let the light of day come even more fiercely!"

During each new stage of life, the mortal body needs a large amount of nutrients and high-energy factors, which are absorbed into the flesh and blood to fill the gap in potential extraction.

The Heavenly Light Initiation utilizes the energy burst to strengthen the body!
It was a perfect match!
……

……

"What's going on? One wave after another, without stopping?"

Xu Sheng stood outside the ruined temple, staring blankly at the huge hole torn by the empty altar. The dazzling skylight was drawn in, like a dazzling waterfall, crashing with a loud noise.

"Is this intensity a bit excessive?"

Xu Sheng frowned. No matter how talented Qin Shi was, he was still an amateur and had not broken through to his professional field.

"Should we stop? If the young people are too aggressive and don't know when to advance or retreat, and end up getting themselves into trouble, I'll have a headache."

As the chief examiner, if the top 100 contestant dies, Xu Sheng will definitely be the one to suffer the consequences.

As he was thinking, Lao Zhang came over in a wheelchair and said:
"That altar was built by Qin Shuai himself, and he used a square of space to stabilize it, acting as an 'anchor' to prevent it from collapsing.

Each time you receive the light from the sky, you are manipulating the "anchor" to open up space. The person receiving the initiation must achieve the fusion of body and mind and release his own breath.

Theoretically, the stronger the aura, the brighter the skylight will be."

Xu Sheng looked at the huge sky rumbling like a thunderstorm and said hesitantly:

"Senior, as the saying goes, too much is as bad as too little. I know that the heir of Nanhuang Dojo is extremely talented and a monster. But destroying his mortal body like this, even if his life is not in danger, it would not be good if he got sick."

Old Zhang, however, was very calm, and was obviously full of confidence in the successor he had chosen.

"Xiao Qin knows his limits. Even if you wait for several years, you may not get your turn. This is a great opportunity, so you must seize it."

Xu Sheng didn't say anything else. Since his master was not worried, he didn't need to worry either.

Old Zhang unconsciously clenched the handrail with his palm. Although he looked calm on the surface, he was still a little nervous in his heart.

It’s not that he thinks Qin Shi can’t resist the enlightenment of heaven, but that he may be able to come into contact with the secret of He Lanchan’s inheritance!

Shen Changyuan, the second true disciple of Nanhuang Taoist Temple, died because of this.

If Qin Shi really knew about the taboo that the nine clans tacitly agreed to and worked together to cover up.

Perhaps, the "mountain" that Nanhuang Taoist Temple has to face is not just the Ying family.

"A Yuan, before you died, you told me 'I'll leave the green tomb alone towards the sunset', what exactly did you mean?"

Old Zhang frowned and leaned his skinny body into the wheelchair.

……

……

As the fourth major limit opened, Qin Shi began to work on his tendons, bones and skin, absorbing and digesting the violent light from the sky, and gradually he no longer felt the pain.

Instead, he was accustomed to the surging energy stirring in his body, which constantly stimulated his flesh and blood. The boiling water turned into a warm heat current, filling his bones and making his whole body warm.

“After you get through it, you just enjoy it.”

Qin Shi relaxed his body and mind and released his breath, which was like a straight cloud of smoke as big as a palm, drawing the light of the sky down and cleansing his mortal body.

After a few minutes, he felt inexplicably sleepy, as if he was tired of taking a bath.

The head slowly drooped, as if falling asleep.

In the interior scene, under the shade of a tree, Super Xiao He opened his eyes and saw Qin Shi’s consciousness appear.

He walked like a sleepwalker to the side of the ancient altar condensed by the "Void Meditation Method".

Initiate spiritual resonance!

In this half-asleep and half-awake state, Qin Shi saw the white-haired figure again.

Compared to the last time I saw him, He Lanchan this time was obviously more immature.

"The green tomb is left alone facing the dusk. Teacher, how could you betray Dongxia?"

He Lanchan sat on the lotus stone seat, as if he couldn't believe it, and murmured:
“It is said that the Fourth Regiment is full of arrogant soldiers and brave generals, but no matter how arrogant the soldiers or brave the generals are, they all regard you, the deputy commander, as their father.

During the Great Crusade, the 4th Regiment suffered the least casualties, because you kept striving for perfection, repeatedly deduced, and always managed to minimize your own losses. Even Marshal Qin praised you for this, saying that you were born to be a marshal. "

Qin Shi listened silently. History textbooks and other reading materials had few records about He Lanchan's teacher, the deputy commander of the regiment whose life experience was confusing.

All we know is that he and Marshal Qin are brothers, but there is a big age difference between them. When Marshal Qin became famous, the deputy marshal was just born. When the Dongxia Republic was established and the grand expedition began, the deputy marshal was just fifteen years old. He entered the Imperial Capital Military Academy to study, and later studied at the Yunan Military Academy. He was a student of the fourth term and was assigned to the infantry department.

Marshal Qin was in charge of the Fourth Regiment and stationed in the Eastern Star Region. In the middle stage of the Great Expedition, the deputy marshal became a member of the Military Committee and gradually took over the Fourth Regiment, handling military affairs for his elder brother, Marshal Qin.

It was also during that time that the Fourth Regiment showed its prowess, captured three administrative planets, and exiled or sealed several star gods.

"Teacher, what did you take from the Imperial Capital that made Jiu Shuai want to erase you?"

He Lanchan's eyes were full of doubt and he was in deep suspicion.

The picture shattered and then slowly condensed.

As if the scene had changed, Qin Shi saw He Lanchan, who looked even more vicissitudes of life.

The white hair remains, but the face shows signs of time.

This time, he did not sit on the lotus stone seat.

With his hands behind his back, he stood silently in the empty space.

"Teacher, I finally understand why the thing you obtained tore Dongxia apart. Its existence shakes the foundation!"

He Lanchan's voice was hoarse, even a little tired, like a traveler who had traveled thousands of miles and was exhausted.

"The new Dongxia Republic cannot have an emperor anymore. The nine commanders will discuss together and command the world. This is the foundation of the Republic."

Qin Shi subconsciously held his breath. His mind resonated and he felt a very strong emotion that almost shattered his sea of ​​consciousness.

He kept his mind in concentration, maintained his spirit steadily, and tried his best to capture the overwhelming spiritual fluctuations of He Lanchan.

He was so curious. What kind of earth-shattering event could move one of the ten great men of the first generation?

"The four pillars of Dongxia have made a covenant with the founding emperor of Dongxia since the earliest times. They are placed in the fire of Dongxia's civilization and condensed into a totem.

Therefore, no matter how turbulent Dongxia is, it must always maintain the name of 'Dongxia'. This is the covenant that the ancestor emperor made with the four pillar gods in the name of the country, and it must not be violated."

He Lanchan was excited, and Qin Shi also looked surprised.

He had thought of this question countless times: Why was Dongxia, with its unprecedentedly vast territory and long ruling period of nine hundred thousand years, able to retain the name "Dongxia"?
None of the usurpers, ambitious men, rebel leaders, and even the nine marshals who had appeared before had ever thought of changing this name.

It turned out to be a covenant with the four pillar gods!
"The Zhu royal family, their imperial bloodline contains the 'Golden Seal' jointly signed with the four pillars of the gods. Only the Zhu bloodline can be registered, take effect, and become the supreme being who ascends the throne of the East Xia emperor.

Those usurpers, the great heroes, could only hold the various clans hostage to support them. But the Nine Marshals were a group of strong men who were determined to change everything and create a new world. They wanted to completely wipe out the "Emperor" from the history of New Dongxia.

So, teacher, your elder brother, Qin Shuai, proposed a plan to control the bloodlines of the various clans and set up a virtual monarch position. Every thousand years, one person will be selected from the various clans and sent to the virtual monarch throne."

He Lanchan lowered his head, as if digesting the truth he learned from the ancient heavenly road.

"But in the middle of the Great Crusade, the conservatives who intended to restore the monarchy launched a major attack, and almost all of the Zhu clan's bloodline died out! Teacher, you were ordered to 'serve the king' and save a Zhu clan girl.

The Zhu family's bloodline is very magical, like a blessing or a curse. Every Zhu family member whose bloodline is revived has a destiny bestowed by the four divine pillars.

Teacher, you developed feelings for that Zhu clan girl, and your union with her gave birth to a destiny that has never happened in the past thousands of years!"

Qin Shi's mind seemed to be struck by thunder, buzzing, and he instantly understood why the deputy commander was eliminated.

The child born to him and the daughter of the Zhu family will become the future emperor of Dongxia!
"My uncle is General Qin, a founding father of Dongxia! My father is the deputy commander of the Fourth Regiment! My mother has the blood of the Zhu clan emperors, and was blessed by four spiritual pillars when she was born, and was blessed with destiny... What a protagonist template that is even cooler than a cool novel!"

The corner of Qin Shi's mouth twitched, if General Qin, who shone brightly in the starry sea and was regarded as the pillar of Dongxia, was willing.

He can completely turn the newly established Dongxia Republic into his Qin family’s “kingdom”!
As fate would have it, the Qin brothers were faced with a choice.

"Once Zhu Shixu takes the throne, his body and soul will have to endure the burning of divine fire, which will last for a thousand years. Teacher, I don't know how you negotiated with Qin Shuai, but the result will inevitably be failure.

I can't imagine the pain of a husband witnessing his wife committing suicide or a father watching his son being tortured. That's why you were so discouraged that you left the capital and took that thing with you, right?"

He Lanchan's eyes were red, he spread out his hands, revealing a key of light that was as bright as the stars.
