Martial Arts: I am in the Ming Cult and I am building a dynasty

Firstly, Yang Zhao himself was the founder of the method of forging Yunchao. He did not mind others interfering in the process of refining the Yunchao treasure, nor was he afraid that others would leave any hidden tricks during the refining process.

Secondly, Yang Zhao is not yet the master of the Sui Dynasty, nor has he been crowned a king, so he needs Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo, who had abdicated long ago, to introduce more Sui Dynasty aura into the ritual.

This lasted for three days on the vast altar.

During this entire process, the He Shi Bi, which originally looked like a piece of natural raw stone, was washed by the endless colorful runes and baptized by the huge power of the earth veins. The fine impurities were squeezed out like sweat stains, leaving only a piece of crystal clear colorful jade.

By the time the ritual was over, the colorful jade had taken the shape of a natural seal, with the words "Great Sui Dynasty Long Lives" written on the bottom and a four-clawed dragon coiled on the top.

The ten thousand years of the Sui Dynasty was essentially the aura of the Sui Dynasty carried by the three generations of Yang Zhao, Yang Jian, and Dugu Jialuo.

The appearance of the four-clawed dragon fulfilled Yang Zhao's words in the past.

The fact that the Guanlong area alone was able to give birth to a symbol of power similar to that of the princes already showed that Yang Zhao had great fortune, harmonious politics and people under his command, as well as strong military force.

When Yang Zhao takes over the entire Sui Dynasty and expands his power, the dynasty will be upgraded and the four-clawed dragon on the jade seal will change into a five-clawed real dragon.

But even so, this jade seal now gives people an extremely mysterious feeling.

"My dear grandson, does this mean that the ritual is complete?"

After three days of practicing, Dugu Jialuo did not show any signs of fatigue. On the contrary, during the process of refining the jade seal, a large amount of earth spiritual energy that was fed back through the jade seal replenished her foundation. She looked more energetic and even her appearance seemed to have regained some youthfulness.

Including Yang Jian, he also received considerable benefits. It won’t be long before his own cultivation will be able to improve to a higher level.

Yang Zhao glanced at Dugu Jialuo, who was still unsatisfied, and Yang Jian, who was eager to try, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. He said, "Grandmother, it is not easy to sacrifice and refine the objects that hold the dynasty's destiny. This is just the beginning."

Hearing Yang Zhao's words, Dugu Jialuo and Yang Jian were immediately overjoyed.

Dugu Jialuo even took Yang Zhao's hand and said with a smile: "This is just the beginning, dear grandson, tell grandma quickly what you need grandma to do next. This seal is pleasing to the eye, and it concerns your grandson's important matters, so grandma needs to help you throughout the process."

When Yang Jian heard Dugu Jialuo's words, he smiled and nodded.

Yang Zhao was also happy to give some benefits to his own people, and said: "Grandmother, this jade seal has just been refined by the three of us, and it has taken shape, but it needs to be refined again by the Qi of the Heaven and Earth Veins for 7749 times. If you like it, it would not hurt to practice for a few more days."

The more Dugu Jialuo listened, the happier she became. She said, "The earth veins are being cleansed. This is a good thing. Grandma will take good care of this seal for my dear grandson."

Yang Zhao smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank you, Grandmother. I will ask Guanyin and the others to accompany you more often and take advantage of you."

Dugu Jialuo became more kind and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that grandma is benefiting from her good grandson."

Since Yang Zhao returned to the Sui Dynasty, Dugu Jialuo has apparently gradually come out of the pain of losing her son and the family tragedy, and has become more gentle like a kind elder in the family. She is no longer as strong as she was when she and Yang Jian ruled the dynasty together.

Dugu Jialuo quickly left happily, and prepared to have people make arrangements to seal off the surroundings.

And on the altar.

Yang Jian looked at his beloved wife's departing figure with a gentle expression. After a while, when Dugu Jialuo's figure completely disappeared, he turned his head to look at Yang Zhao and said, "The earth is vast and generous, and this thing is magical and this method is mysterious. It carries the dynasty's destiny with the generous virtue of the earth, but it still looks incomplete?"

Yang Zhao nodded and said, "Grandfather has a keen eye. This altar is made of soil from the thirty-six counties of Guanlong. The cleansing of the earth veins is only the foundation. The earth energy can be used to consolidate the foundation of the seal to carry the harmony of people."

"My grandson has already ordered his subordinates to collect the blood of people and animals, mountain dew, well water, river water, etc. from the thirty-six counties of Guanlong. When this seal is filled with earth energy, we can refine human harmony into it and turn it into ink."

"In this way, when my grandson becomes king and establishes his dynasty, he can use the act of offering sacrifices to heaven to draw the power of heaven to reconcile, gather the three paths of heaven, earth and man, and create a treasure of luck."

Yang Jian nodded repeatedly. After listening to the general idea, he quickly interrupted Yang Zhao and said, "Grandson, just be willing, and don't say too much. This method of controlling destiny can only be mastered by you, my dear grandson. Even if it's grandpa and grandma, you are not allowed to say a word in the future. Do you understand?"

Yang Zhao didn't care about it, but he knew that his grandfather meant well, so he nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Yang Jian felt relieved. He seemed to think for a moment, and looked at Yang Zhao with a serious look. Finally, he said, "My grandson has become a talented person. With this method of luck in hand, your future achievements are destined to surpass your grandfather. Well, you can be the grandfather."

Yang Zhao's achievements obviously won some kind of recognition from Yang Jian.

After finishing speaking, Yang Jian did not even look at the seal on the altar. He turned around and walked towards a very remote palace deep inside the imperial palace.

After walking for dozens of floors, the two grandparents finally arrived outside a very dilapidated palace.

The palace was ordinary, even shabby among the imperial palaces, but hidden within it were at least a dozen auras of the Martial Saint level.

What surprised Yang Zhao even more was that, even with Yang Zhao's spiritual perception, he could only sense these ten or so auras when he actually set foot in this dilapidated palace. Once he stepped out of this palace, he would no longer feel any sense of them.

With Yang Zhao's level of cultivation, even a Martial Saint-level being might not be able to hide from Yang Zhao's perception at such a short distance.

Almost involuntarily, Yang Zhao turned his head and looked at Yang Jian.

Yang Jian smiled calmly and said, "My dear grandson, in this great Sui Dynasty, there are many aristocratic families and martial arts sects, and the forces are complicated. Don't you want to know how your grandfather established this dynasty?"

Chapter 501 The True Confidence of the Old Yang Family

It is hard to imagine that among the magnificent palace complex, there is such a simple and shabby palace that can be described as "dilapidated".

What is even more unimaginable is that in such a simple palace, there are more than ten Martial Saint-level auras guarding this place.

Yang Zhao knew that his grandfather was probably going to pass on the true heritage of the Yang family of the Sui Dynasty to him.

Previously, when I returned to the Sui Dynasty.

When Yang Zhao met Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo for the first time, he received a copy of the River Map and Luo Shu.

With the River Map and Luoshu as the core, combined with the Eight Waters of Chang'an and the Four Barriers of Guanzhong, an extremely huge natural formation can be formed, covering the entire Guanzhong area, sealing the void, and forming a super barrier that makes people sigh in admiration, making Guanlong the foundation of Yang Zhao.

Later, as the noise caused by Yang Zhao grew bigger and bigger, Yang Jian also began to cooperate with Yang Zhao. Not only did he allow Yang Zhao to gain control of the old Yang family's connections in the Guanlong area, but he also backed Yang Zhao up and recalled the Nine Elders of the Sui Dynasty who were scattered everywhere, allowing Yang Zhao to take over the Daxing Palace.

Then, some time ago, Yang Jian took the initiative to assume the responsibility of offering sacrifices to the Bronze Temple and unsealed the four corpse ancestors of the Xuanming Sect, adding another layer of foundation to Yang Zhao.

But Yang Zhao knew that all of this seemed to be the foundation of the Yang family.

But in fact, these River Map and Luoshu, the Nine Elders who founded the Sui Dynasty, personal connections, the Xuanming Sect, etc., were all gradually conquered by Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo in the process of establishing the dynasty. They were not the real confidence or trump card of the old Yang family.

Until this wave, Yang Zhao was about to become king and establish the Yun Dynasty.

Yang Jian had just brought Yang Zhao to this extremely simple palace and let Yang Zhao see for the first time the strength of the Yang family.

Entering the palace, there are twelve huge stone sculptures on the left and right, each more than three meters high.

And on each of these stone sculptures, there is a powerful and heart-pounding aura of a martial saint. They do not look like living people, but carry the purest murderous aura.

"These are military puppets that the head of the Hongnong Yang family obtained from the battlefield in the late pre-Qin era. Each of them has the strength of a Martial Saint. Twelve of them can form a battle formation that can defeat a Martial Saint."

"This battle formation is also a secret military technique handed down from the pre-Qin era. The nine elders of the Sui Dynasty once sought enlightenment here. Some people embarked on the path of military martial arts, while others failed."

Since Yang Jian wanted to introduce the Yang family's strength to Yang Zhao, he was very detailed. He explained to Yang Zhao the mysteries of the twelve military puppets in the hall, and systematically taught Yang Zhao how to activate and control them.

It took the grandfather and grandson more than ten hours just to walk through this hall.

After Yang Zhao had initially mastered all the methods of controlling the twelve military war puppets, the two of them set out again and walked towards the next palace deeper in the palace.

Compared to the first room, which was empty and solemn, and displayed twelve military war puppets.

This second hall is much smaller, only the size of a football field, and it is filled with all kinds of books, bamboo slips, rare books, valuable books, stone carvings, etc.

The first moment he stepped into this hall, Yang Zhao could even clearly feel the breath of the flow of time on these records.

Yang Zhao stretched out his hand and touched one of the ancient books, but wherever he touched, he passed right through it.

It is clearly a real object, but it cannot be touched at all.

Yang Zhao was stunned, and then looked at Yang Jian beside him.

Yang Jian smiled calmly and said, "This place was built by an ancestor of the Hongnong Yang family in the pre-Qin period with the help of the secret techniques of historians in the pre-Qin period. It can be used to view all the written records in the world. However, every time you use the classics here, you need a secret technique of blood essence passed down by the Yang family to open it."

When Yang Zhao heard Yang Jian's words, his whole body froze.

The historian's secret technique, the only copy of time.

grass.

Yang Zhao suspected that the ancestors of his Yang family might have become immortals.

Yang Zhao paused and said, "Grandfather, you also know that my grandson has many wives and concubines. It is said that in ancient times, the Yellow Emperor had 3,000 concubines and ascended to heaven in broad daylight, leaving behind a secret copy of the Yellow Emperor's Internal Classic. How about..."

Yang Jian rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "What are you thinking? Above the Martial Saint realm, all the skills and secret techniques are based on Taoism, without any written words. You want to read the Yellow Emperor's Canon of Internal Medicine, but I, your grandfather, want to read the War God Atlas."

The historian's way was not considered a prominent school of thought among the hundreds of schools of thought in the pre-Qin era. It was quite outrageous that the historian had left behind such a secret technique of peeking into the texts of various books through time.

If this secret technique could allow one to see things above the level of a Martial Saint, historians in the pre-Qin era would not have declined, and they might even have been able to overthrow Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, and the like.

Spying on the letter left by the Martial Saint is already the limit of this secret technique.

Moreover, every time you use secret techniques to spy on the books left in the world, the more precious the contents are, the more energy and blood you will need to consume. Unless it is an urgent matter, you should not open it lightly.

Although this greatly reduces the value of this place, it is still magical enough.

With the existence of this secret technique of historians, most of the things in the world cannot be hidden from the people of the Yang family.

In terms of its long-term significance to the family alone, this secret technique is even more astonishing than the inheritance left by the powerful martial saints.

Take a quick look at the historian's secrets in this palace.

After Yang Zhao had a general idea, Yang Jian took Yang Zhao through the second hall and came to the third hall which was deeper inside.

Compared with the huge spaces of the first two halls, this third hall is obviously much smaller.

But even so, the third hall is as big as a square ancestral hall. At the top, there is an ancient scroll exuding a strong Confucian and Taoist atmosphere.

Sensing the presence of Confucianism and Taoism, Yang Zhao looked at Yang Jian in surprise.

Yang Jian waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "In the late pre-Qin period, an ancestor of the Hongnong Yang family practiced Confucianism and became a Taoist. Although he was not as good as Confucius and Mencius, he was also on the path of Confucianism and Taoism, and was not inferior to the seventy-two sages."

People like Confucius and Mencius were people in the pre-Qin era who created and opened up the way of truth with their own efforts. They even disdained the traps of the Heavenly Dao and directly took the Seal of the Heart of Heaven.

To put it in a more mysterious way, if people like Tianmo Cangqiu are considered to be achieving enlightenment in an alternative way.

Then people like Confucius and Mencius are the best among the great emperors, and can be compared with the likes of Emperor Wu Shi.

The ancestor of the Hongnong Yang family is not as good as Confucius and Mencius, but he is no worse than the demon Cangqiu.

The Confucian and Taoist heritage left by such a transcendent and powerful person is no less precious than the secret art of the historian, and may even be more precious.

Chapter 502: The Four Direct Lines of the Hongnong Yang Family

After stepping into the simple palace deep in the palace, Yang Zhao has been amazed.

In previous battles with Li Shimin, Yang Zhao had already gotten a glimpse of the strengths of the aristocratic families in the Sui Dynasty through the battle of Jingnian Zen in Luoyang.

The monsters and background of the older generation had not yet been revealed, and just by leaking a few resources to Li Shimin, he was able to exchange a few moves with Yang Zhao.

Although it was not a threat to Yang Zhao, it also allowed Yang Zhao to see the strength of the aristocratic families.

Until this moment, when the confidence of the old Yang family was placed in front of Yang Zhao.

Only then did Yang Zhao truly feel how unfathomable these families were that had managed to survive the endless wars and years.

Not only does he have a profound foundation in military power, but he is also shocking in terms of his various insights and resources.

If Yang Zhao had enough luck, he would be able to deduce many of the things here by himself.

But even for someone like Yang Zhao who has cheats, it would take a very long time and accumulation to collect such a huge foundation.

If it were someone else, this random trump card would be enough to teach them a lesson.

At this moment, Yang Zhao was also deeply moved. Fortunately, it was Yang Guang who was pushed up directly back then, and he, by chance, chose the Song Dynasty, which was ranked last among the six dynasties, after coming down from Guangmingding, which allowed him to develop greatly.

Otherwise, if Yang Zhao had treated the Sui Dynasty as a novice village from the beginning, even with the help of system plug-ins, he would probably be stuck in this area for a long time and would suffer countless losses.

If you think about it this way, the Song Dynasty was really lame.

If he hadn't developed the Yinshi Dragon Court of the Song Dynasty, it would have been torn apart and eaten alive by the jackals and tigers of this world in a short time.

These aristocratic families are all hiding their secrets too deeply.

This world is not worth it.

Looking at the ancient scrolls of inheritance left by the powerful beings who came here and were enshrined in the hall, Yang Zhao was in a state of mental turmoil.

It took quite a while.

Yang Jian looked at Yang Zhao, who was gradually coming back to his senses, with a smile on his face. He seemed to think that it was quite amusing to deal a blow to his own grandson.

Yang Zhao: “…”

This can only be his biological grandfather. If it were someone else, Yang Zhao would have to take out his own big sword and let him see the power of the Void Sword Sutra.

Seeing his grandson's resentment, Yang Jian calmed down a little and asked, "How do you feel?"

Yang Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly, paused, and said: "Grandfather, are all the noble families in the world as powerful as our Hongnong Yang family?"

Yang Jian's face became a little more serious, and he said, "If this is the only heritage here, then it's not a big deal. The hundreds of years of chaos in the Great Sui territory may have consumed the heritage of those aristocratic families, but the families that have been able to preserve their heritage should not be underestimated. This is not a weak place like the Great Song Dynasty. In the past thousand years, many immortals and gods have fallen in this area."

Yang Zhao: “…”

Thinking in this way, the Song Dynasty was ranked last among the six great dynasties, and it was indeed a "weak place".

During the Song Dynasty, Yang Zhao had also had battles with the gods in heaven.
