Embers of Sword

Chapter 243: The Great Road
When the word "regicide" was uttered.

Xie Xuanyi could see that although this ancient general of the Dayue Kingdom named Zhong Wu tried his best to hide it, there was still a hint of pride in his eyes.

Emperor Qi...

Only one step away from ascending to heaven.

Capable of killing such a being.

It is indeed something to be proud of.

Xie Xuanyi looked at Zhong Wu.

Coincidentally, in a sense, he is also a regicide.

After so many years, the soul of this great general has not been corrupted... He must have been at least a great cultivator at the Yang God level when he was alive.

It is said that a thousand years ago, the way of heaven had not yet collapsed and the vitality had not yet been exhausted.

The whole world is prosperous.

At that time, practicing was much simpler than it is now.

However, the year when the Dayue Kingdom was destroyed should have been the "recent ancient times" when the tide of the great world receded, and true immortals had become extinct.

In that era, it was not easy to cultivate into a Yang God...

"You killed Emperor Qi?"

Ao Ying frowned.

These four giant statues are certainly shocking, but the mountain of corpses just piled in front of the hall door is even more shocking.

Emperor Qi alone can refine the entire Dayue Kingdom!
"To be precise, it's not me, but... us."

Zhong Wu sat under the silver-white throne, with his hands on his knees. He raised his head and said with emotion, "As you can see, there are more than one regicide. It's just that they have all fallen, their Dharma bodies have been shattered, and their souls have been shattered along with them."

These four giant statues.

The only thing that was well preserved was the man who threw the spear.

"who are you?"

Zhong Wu narrowed his eyes, looked at the two people in front of him, and asked slowly: "How is the Great Yue Kingdom? How long has it been outside?"

“We are outsiders.”

Xie Xuanyi said: "The Great Yue Kingdom has been destroyed. A long, long time has passed outside..."

"Did the Great Moon Kingdom still fall?"

A hint of regret flashed across Zhong Wu's eyes.

He murmured softly, "What a pity. We still can't save this place."

Ao Ying pursed his lips and asked cautiously, "What happened back then?"

"then?"

Zhong Wu raised his head, looked at his own throne, and grinned: "Back then, the four of us surrounded and killed Emperor Qi together... He was at the critical moment of ascending to heaven. This was his strongest moment, but also his weakest moment. If you want to kill a 'person who ascends to heaven', there is only such a short moment, it is fleeting."

"Unfortunately."

"Even though we seized this moment, we still paid an extremely tragic price."

Zhong Wu sat on the steps of the hall, his tone somewhat sad, looking at the blood, broken fingers, and shattered armor spilled in the hall.

"The fighting power above the heavens is too strong."

"In just a moment, all my comrades and friends died in battle..."

"Emperor Qi's body was pierced by the spear, and he failed to ascend to heaven, but he still activated the power of the Tao and froze the entire hall and the entire palace."

In the realm of Yin Shen, one can comprehend the great Dao and master the principles of Dao.

When one reaches the Yang Shen level, one must weave the principles of the Dao into complete rules.

Thousands of years later, the "blessed land of caves", "secret land of Tianyuan" and even the "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm" recorded in the classics of various forces in the Da Chu Dynasty are actually the same thing...

The independent worlds fabricated by Yangshen Realm, Tianren Realm, and even True Immortal Realm!

The higher the realm.

The more perfect the rules of the cave are, the more stable the world inside will be.

obviously.

This world at the bottom of the well is the "complete cave heaven" fabricated by Emperor Qi!
and so……

Great Master Chongkan, who had already reached this level, had a wisp of his black robe lingering back and forth at the mouth of the well. Even though he had a strong murderous intent towards Ao Ying, he still did not jump directly into it.

This is the reason why the great cultivators in the Yangshen realm in Da Chu rarely go out on weekdays.

Reached this state.

The rules condensed into a complete cave, calling the wind and rain, and the long river of the road surrounded the Dharma body! Thunder strikes at any time!
There is no superiority or inferiority between the first and the second moves on the chessboard.

Not to mention the chess game between Yangshen masters. If you rashly step into an unfamiliar cave with perfect rules dominated by others, it is very likely that you will make mistakes at every step, or even perish!
Ao Ying's expression was uncertain.

What Zhong Wu said sounded very real.

Because there is a Dao in this Great Moon Well, which coincides with Emperor Qi's natal cave...

But the regret under the cast seat made her feel uneasy.

"If this place is the Qi Emperor's natal cave, with his strength, how could he leave you with even a trace of regret?"

Ao Ying frowned and asked slowly, "Since he can freeze this palace, he can kill you at the same time."

"If that's the case, how could he be pierced by a spear?"

Zhong Wu sighed and said seriously: "Lions are powerful, but they will eventually run out of strength. Even a light straw, falling in the right place at the right time, can break a camel."

Ao Ying fell silent.

Zhong Wu was right... even a straw can break the camel's back.

The premise is that the camel is on its last breath.

"So, what is Emperor Qi's Dao?"

At this moment.

Xie Xuanyi suddenly spoke.

His gaze did not linger on Zhong Wu for too long.

After leaving the mountain of corpses, he loosened his hand that was covering Qingli's eyes, but... after seeing the throne, the little guy's attention was drawn to it. His expression was wooden, and Xie Xuanyi called out a few times with his mind, but there was no response.

She stared at the throne.

So Xie Xuanyi also looked towards the throne.

He came here for the God Fruit.

And he could see the power of the God Fruit with just a glance from thousands of miles away...

It was sealed in the Dayue Well.

Zhong Wu sat on the first floor of the Thousand Steps Hall. He slowly raised his hands, placed them under his head, and uttered two words slowly. "As you wish."

As one wishes?

Ao Ying had never heard of this avenue.

But this is normal. Although the methods of cultivation used by the demon realm and the human race are different, they all lead to the same goal... It is said that there are three thousand paths in this world, but in fact there are far more than that, there are many more.

"What is Ruyi?"

Xie Xuanyi's gaze was still fixed on the throne.

"As you wish, it is as you wish."

Zhong Wu did not elaborately explain, but simply said: "When you jumped into the well, you should have seen it... Whatever you saw in the Dayue Well is his Tao."

Ao Ying, who looked lonely, was completely stunned.

She looked at Xie Zhen with a complicated expression.

If I remember correctly, Xie Zhen said he saw a fruit.

and many more……

Is this legendary way to success the way to see into people’s hearts?

Or.

Can it turn the "dream" that people desire in their hearts into reality?

"The reason why Emperor Qi was able to control the Great Yue Kingdom was because of his 'Wishful Way', which gave everyone hope."

Zhong Wu slowly closed his eyes, feeling the distant, broken memories.

He said quietly, "All living things have desires, all living things seek, and all living things want to be fulfilled. If one can cultivate such a principle, he should sit on the throne."

indeed.

The king sitting on the throne.

He could satisfy the wishes of his subjects at will.

And an existence like Emperor Qi has also practiced the so-called "Ruyi Dao". He can satisfy most of the worldly desires...

What a terrifying power this is?

All living beings naturally hold him high.

Even if it is used as feed.

Also willingly.

"But...how can such a person be called a 'tyrant'?"

Xie Xuanyi frowned slightly, not quite understanding.

"There is always a time when things go wrong."

Zhong Wu laughed sarcastically, "The desires in this world will never be filled... Human desires are like an abyss. The more you fill it, the more it breaks and cracks, and it will eventually become irreparable. The existence of Ruyi Avenue will only make it more difficult for sentient beings to satisfy their desires."

"..."

Xie Xuanyi just listened in silence.

From beginning to end.

His eyes were fixed on the towering throne.

"Wait, you mean... this palace is filled with the 'Ruyi Dao Ze'?"

Ao Ying suddenly realized the horror of Ruyi's Way.

The reason why this hall has been sealed for thousands of years and has not aged is that

It is because of the Ruyi Dao principle...

This power of the law can even fight against time!

This way.

If I could intercept some of the Dao principles in this hall, or grasp the insights left by Emperor Qi...

This is a great opportunity!

"Don't have such a foolish idea. I advise you to turn around and leave now. Don't get close to the throne, and don't touch the remains of Emperor Qi."

The smile on Zhong Wu's face suddenly disappeared, and he said coldly: "Although the spear pierced his body, he might still have some thoughts. The entire hall is blocked by Ruyi Avenue. This level of Dao power... once an accident happens, no one knows what will happen."

"But I really want that fruit."

Xie Xuanyi sighed softly.

He removed his gaze from the throne and looked at Zhong Wu, saying seriously, "I saw a fruit born in the void above Dayuejing. This fruit was surrounded by countless auras, and it was golden in color. It contained the 'Vajra' principle, and it was the most precious divine fruit in ancient history."

"God Fruit..."

Upon hearing this, Ao Ying looked at Xie Zhen in shock.

It turns out that this kid saw this kind of magical object!
How dare you think about it!

But why didn’t I see anything?

"What do you want to say?"

Zhong Wu was no longer lazy. He stood up alertly, with a silver-white glow burning on his body.

"I want to say."

Xie Xuanyi handed the green carp, which had a wooden expression and looked like a ghost, to Ao Ying.

He pointed at the throne.

"This palace has been preserved for so long, these remaining 'Ruyi Dao Ze' must be very powerful..."

Xie Xuanyi said with regret: "Emperor Qi fulfilled the wishes of many people during his lifetime. I wonder if he can fulfill one more wish for me now... If all the Ruyi Dao rules are used to materialize the 'God Fruit', I wonder if it will be enough?"

talking.

Xie Xuanyi took a few steps forward.

The dark night was once again ignited by the sword energy and fire.

He slowly came to the base of the tall silver statue, very close to Zhong Wu.

"You just said not to touch the remains on the throne, lest Emperor Qi be resurrected..."

Xie Xuanyi said seriously: "If I insist on touching it...what will happen? Will Emperor Qi die completely?"

Zhong Wu was stunned for a moment.

Xie Xuanyi smiled and said, "I'm asking you, Emperor Qi."
