Man is in the midst of the mysteries of the spirit, and the flesh is infinitely deduced

He was deeply shocked: "Facing a god, can Daozu Wuxu defeat him?"

Not only Chen Jiannan, but also the gravekeeper and other Void-Refining cultivators were shocked by the scene before them. However, besides being shocked, they also felt a little proud in their hearts.

Humans have always been regarded by gods as ants, pigs, sheep, and leeks, but now, Anle has actually defeated the Lord Cang Yan. Even if it is just an incarnation, it has special significance.

Everyone was excited and full of fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Anle did not explain further. The cultivators in the world had suffered from the gods for a long time, and they really needed such a victory to boost their spirits.

Soon, Anle brought a group of people back to the underground capital.

After the great war, the royal capital naturally could not remain intact. Many city towers were destroyed and the place was in ruins. The monks were repairing the city walls and cleaning up the rubble after the collapsed houses. However, compared to the scene on the surface of the Guilai Tomb and other destroyed city-states, this situation was much better.

People all had an expression of relief on their faces for having survived the disaster.

It is conceivable that if the Queen and the Imperial Master had not intervened, the capital would have been in great danger.

Soon, Ji Yunting began to appease the people in the city and deal with the prisoners of war from Shengcang City.

And Anle found Hong Yingxue.

In front of Hong Yingxue was the Holy Maiden Shengcang who was bound by magical power. Even though she had fallen into this situation, the Holy Maiden still looked indifferent, as if she didn't care about her own life or death at all.

Seeing Anle coming, the Saint said calmly: "This time, I lost, but it does not mean that the gods lost."

"You have never seen their true power."

Anle looked at Hong Yingxue and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

He knew that this saint was essentially a part of Hong Yingxue, but her past memories had been washed away and she had been twisted into the most loyal believer of the god.

Hong Yingxue in the past was probably the same.

There was some sympathy in Hong Yingxue's eyes, but she was not the simple and ignorant saint after all. She just stretched out her fingertips and lightly tapped the center of Saint Cang's eyebrows.

"You are me, and I am you."

"Your guilt and your memory will be borne by me!"

The next moment, the pupils of the Holy Maiden Sheng Cang became dull and lifeless, and then her body disintegrated and turned into scattered points of light, which sank into Hong Yingxue's body.

Hong Yingxue showed a bit of pain, but soon calmed down and said to Anle: "I need to retreat for a few days."

Anle naturally agreed.

The post-disaster work in the royal capital lasted for several more days. Apart from the damage to buildings, the more important task was to resettle the refugees from other underground city-states.

Not all underground city-states were destroyed. Residents of some city-states fled the city early to avoid the disaster of Shengcang. Now that the news of Shengcang City's defeat and the return of Queen Daxia has spread, naturally many people choose to return to the capital.

Whether it is the relationship between them and the residents of the royal capital or the distribution of various materials, they are all seemingly trivial but actually important matters.

As a result, Ji Yunting had almost no time to rest these days.

Until one day, when Anle was practicing in the palace, the palace door was gently pushed open by a slender hand.

Chapter 381 Cultivation

A fragrant breeze blew towards me, and the person who pushed the door was naturally none other than the Queen of Daxia, Ji Yunting.

Ji Yunting was still wearing the imperial robe, and her temperament was dignified. After all these days, she had regained control of the court, and the imperial power on her became increasingly strong, but a hint of fatigue could be vaguely seen between her brows.

Compared to the thrilling war, many matters in the royal capital, although trivial, are also important and cannot be ignored. If you are not careful, they will cause conflicts and contradictions, or lay hidden dangers, so they must be treated with caution.

It is precisely these trivial matters that most wear down people's will and consume their energy.

Even Ji Yunting felt deeply tired.

Ji Yunting walked straight to Anle, not caring about the dust on the ground, and lay down in a very ungraceful manner, sighing, "I'm so tired..."

Anle chuckled and said, "The dignified Queen of Great Xia would complain and cry about being tired?"

Ji Yunting glanced at Anle, his expression was somewhat charming, with a different kind of charm, and said: "What about the Queen of Daxia?"

"The Queen is also a human being. She also gets tired and has emotions and desires!"

An Le was a little dazed by her look. After calming down, he said, "Thank you for your hard work these days."

What he said just now was of course just a joke. Anle was also very clear about the pressure that Ji Yunting was carrying. The position of empress not only represented power, but also responsibility.

Lying on the white jade floor, Ji Yunting's hair and imperial robe spread out, looking extremely beautiful and moving.

"Sometimes I wonder, if I hadn't participated in that battle and picked up that stone, would I have saved myself from so much hardship?"

Ji Yunting said quietly, "I didn't become the Queen of Daxia. I am just an ordinary princess. I don't have to force myself to be strong or play the role of an iron-blooded queen. I can just live a peaceful life and perish with Daxia. That ending doesn't seem too bad."

Anle looked at her profile and asked, "So, do you regret it?"

Ji Yunting smiled and shook his head: "No, I have never regretted it."

She sat up, looked at Anle with her beautiful eyes, and asked, "What about you, my master, have you ever regretted having me as your disciple?"

"In the eyes of the people, I am definitely not a benevolent emperor."

Obviously, after hearing the comments of people in later generations about himself, Ji Yunting still had some grudges in his heart that he could not let go.

Anle smiled and said, "Regret? On the contrary, I am proud of you, Yunting. You have done a great job."

It was just an ordinary sentence, but it made Ji Yunting's heart tremble slightly. A word of encouragement from a fellow Taoist always has the power to inspire people.

At this time, Ji Yunting held Anle's hand and said, "I remember you said that the properties of our innate Qi are slightly different. Now is a good time to study it."

A stream of innate Qi came from the place where their palms touched. Anle raised his other hand, and the two of them held hands, looked into each other's eyes, and smiled at each other.

Then, two different strands of innate Qi entangled with each other, lightly touching, rubbing, and merging, as if trying to blend each other into their own bodies. The two people immersed their minds in the experience, carefully feeling the changes in the innate Qi and the subtle differences, trying to find the rules behind it.

Gradually, they felt the blending of spiritual power and the resonance of spiritual consciousness, and a throbbing and numbness of the soul spread to every corner of the spiritual consciousness and body.

This feeling is both long-lasting and unforgettable.

The innate Qi is one of the most original secret powers in the world, but neither Anle nor Ji Yunting has reached the most perfect state.

While in the dual cultivation at this time, the innate Qi of both of them was gradually sublimating, becoming more complete and pure, and what followed was the reward for both of them.

Whether it is the body, soul, or the understanding of the Tao, there are considerable benefits.

Ji Yunting's body had not been tempered as Anle's, but now that he was being fed back, he felt numb and comfortable all over, as if he was soaking in a hot spring. He couldn't help but let out a moan.

This method of dual cultivation is truly wonderful.

An unknown amount of time had passed before the two awoke from their practice, both feeling that they had benefited greatly.

And at some point, Ji Yunting was leaning in Anle's arms, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

Her eyebrows and eyes were like silk, and she smiled and said, "Master Imperial Master, are you enjoying it?"

But at this time, Ji Yunting asked seriously: "You are leaving, right?"

Anle was stunned for a moment, and was not sure what to say, but the expression on his face said it all. Ji Yunting's eyes dimmed slightly, but he was not too surprised. He said, "I will not leave. I am the queen of Daxia. The people here need me. I cannot let the capital fall into its previous state again."

As she spoke, her gaze became more determined, and there was a unique charm of pursuing ideals in her eyes that made people unable to take their eyes away.

Anle opened his mouth: "I..."

The next moment, a fragrant breeze blew over, and a warm feeling blocked Anle's mouth.

Afterwards, Anle was carried horizontally and walked towards a large bed in the hall.

Ji Yunting whispered in his ear: "At least today, I won't let you go..."

******

Three days later.

Anle and Ji Yunting came to the surface of Guilai Tomb.

At this time, there was neither the scorching sun nor the cold moon in the vast sky, making it seem particularly empty and lonely.

Anle raised his head and looked at an undetectable place in his perception. There was the black coffin in the void.

Beside him, Ji Yunting was still dressed as an empress, but her expression had lost some of the immaturity of a young girl, and now had a bit of the charm of a new wife.

Of course, Ji Yunting could only show this expression in front of Anle. In front of the people of Daxia, she was still the iron-blooded and decisive empress.

Following Anle's line of sight, Ji Yunting also sensed the place that could not be reached by divine consciousness, and could not help but ask: "What exactly is the Void Black Coffin?"

In the past few days, although Anle was obsessed with dual cultivation, he did not completely indulge himself and still obtained intelligence through deduction every day.

This also gave him a certain understanding of the Void Black Coffin.

Just as Anle named it, this is a pitch-black coffin suspended in the void.

But the "pitch black" here not only refers to its color, but also means that once you are trapped in this black coffin, you will not be able to perceive anything, whether it is your spiritual consciousness or your senses.

It is like a black hole that can swallow everything and even capture light.

To be honest, the situation in the black coffin is somewhat similar to that inside the Infinite Moment Stone, but it is more dangerous.

In the previous few deductions, Anle couldn’t even know the cause of his own death!

But in today's deduction, Anle gained something new. He discovered...

The breath left by Zhongxu!

Chapter 382 A New Agreement, a More Precious Thing

When Anle discovered the aura left by Zhongxu during the deduction, even he couldn't help but feel surprised and excited.

This means that they have successfully crossed the long void, overcome the difficulties and obstacles, and arrived near the Return Tomb!

Anle couldn't help but think, "My disciple is more capable than I thought."

However, Zhongxu and others failed after all, or at least, they were not completely successful.

The black coffin still floating in the void is proof of this.

But their efforts may not be in vain. Although the void barrier still restricts the realm of cultivators in the world, it has not been lowered too quickly. If it reaches the point where no more void-refining cultivators can be born in the world, I am afraid that everything will be too late, and there will be no such thing as Anle leading the cultivators across the void.

Looking at the darkness, Anle made up his mind.

At this time, Ji Yunting looked at Anle's profile and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Anle nodded: "It's about time."

"After I pass on my understanding of the Great Way of Sun and Moon to you, it will be time for me to leave."

At the Guilai Tomb, spiritual energy is extremely precious and scarce. Although one can continue to persevere by relying solely on the Primordial Liquid, it is obviously unrealistic to ask the cultivators to absorb spiritual energy freely.

In addition to the void, Anle also thought of two resources that could be used -

Those are the calamity of the scorching sun and the calamity of the cold moon!

The reason why the surface of Guilai Tomb is barren and unsuitable for human survival is precisely because of the existence of these two disasters.

But from another perspective, they are also an opportunity!

Not to mention the power of these two avenues, if the light of the scorching sun and the cold moon can be transformed into spiritual power like refining the void, the Great Xia Federation will have an endless source of spiritual power, and one day it may not have to hide deep underground and can live on the surface of the planet.

Of course, Anle was not the only one who thought of this at the Guilai Tomb in the past.

But the process from idea to practice is not so easy. The levels of these two avenues are so high that ordinary people can hardly comprehend them, let alone turn them into their own strength.

Only Anle, who has a profound understanding of the Great Way of Emptiness, can gain insights by analogy.

Although the road ahead is difficult, it at least gives the people of Daxia a new direction.

Hearing Anle's words, Ji Yunting's eyes dimmed for a moment, but soon became bright again: "Then, I will be here, waiting for your triumphant return."

As she spoke, her little girl attitude instantly disappeared, replaced by the majesty and dominance of a queen.

"The current Daxia is still far from what I expected. It still has many shortcomings and deficiencies. The lack of material conditions, the difficult environment, and the instability of people's hearts are all in front of me."

Ji Yunting showed strong self-confidence and high spirits: "But I will change it."

"When you return, you will see a brand new Daxia!"

Anle smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to that day."

Ji Yunting extended his slender hand to him and said solemnly: "This is the agreement between you and me."

Anle held her hand and nodded heavily.

The first agreement between him and Ji Yunting was to meet in the future after leaving Da Xia, and the second agreement was to return to Guilai Tomb in the future to witness the transformation of Da Xia.
