Chapter 496: Yaochi Guard
The Sunset Kingdom is a believer in the King of Time and Space Conqueror.
The three major empires on the Red Barbarian Continent are not friendly to each other. There are constant small conflicts on the border, but they are restrained by each other. The scale of the conflicts generally does not exceed 500 people. It is not that they have never fought large-scale wars.
, an era when the belief in evil gods spread barbarically, large-scale religious army battles involving tens of thousands of people often broke out.
In the end, the situation of three gods coexisting on this continent was established, and the others were driven out. The three evil gods restrained each other, and they wanted to smash all the other's temples immediately and turn the other's believers into their own.
But we all understand that this is not realistic.
Sun Changming again talked about what that team had done. After hearing this, Quintina looked solemn and said: "The Sunset Kingdom is going to create another group of gods' favored ones!
The kind of monster you saw is the favorite sacrifice of the [Lord of Conqueror of Time and Space]. It is called a "devil animal". As long as you offer a demon animal, you can ask him to create a favored one by God. The favored one is especially special.
Powerful, possessing many characteristics that are beyond those of believers of the same level.
For example, the number of divine creations that ordinary believers can use at the same time is fixed, while those favored by God can use 50% more. The power of the same divine creation in the hands of a favored one will also increase by 50%.
.
In addition, the God's Favored Ones also have a special skill. They can store part of the [Lord of Time and Space Conqueror]'s divine power in their bodies through sacrifices. This is divine power that comes directly from the gods, and it is very powerful."
Sun Changming nodded, and knew that there are restrictions on believers' use of divine creations. Generally speaking, believers can use five divine creations of the same level at the same time, and the number of the lower level is doubled, and so on. For example, the power of seven mountains
, you can use five Seven Mountain God creations at the same time, or ten Six Mountain God creations, or four Seven Mountain God creations, two Six Mountain God creations, and so on.
The total amount cannot exceed five pieces of Qishan.
Excessive use is not impossible, as long as you can bear the cost. Moreover, divine creations also have potential. The same seven-mountain divine creations exert different powers in the hands of different believers.
However, among the powers of the Seven Mountains that Master Sun has encountered so far, no one has five Seven Mountain God creations. High-level God creations obtained through sacrifices and other means are also costly. The sacrifice of one Seven Mountain God creation is enough to cultivate
A believer in the power of six mountains.
Master Sun asked: "How many of those monsters are needed to get a God-favored one?"
"Only one is enough." Quintina was also shocked: "The people from the Sunset Kingdom took away twelve monsters from the cliff. Even if they suffered losses on the way back, I'm afraid they could bring back at least half of them! Sunset
The country is about to have six more gods, what do they want to do?"
Master Sun asked again: "In the belief system of Star Fire, is there a corresponding God's Favorite?"
"Yes," Quintina further explained: "[Star Fire] is called the elect under the belief, and [Eternal God Lord] is called the saint. If you want to become the elect, you need to make sacrifices to [Star Fire] with a total value equal to
The sacrifice of three Seven Mountain Demonic Beasts is about the same as the price of a saint. In addition to that kind of monster, the God's Favored One also needs about one Seven Mountains Demonic Beast."
"In the age of the gods' melee, there were more favored ones, chosen ones, and saints. They were sharp swords in the hands of the gods. But since the mainland was jointly ruled by the three gods, the number has been decreasing. There are very few in these years.
See you, because they are no longer needed."
"Does the Sunset Kingdom want to start a divine war again when it restarts the God's Favored Ones? Or is it because they are colonizing the Southern Wilderness and encountering powerful enemies?"
Mr. Sun pondered, both of these situations are possible. Is there any female emperor Wu Fu in the Southern Wilderness? If she wants to drive out the Sunset Kingdom, the Sunset Kingdom will indeed need the gods' favored ones with the power of the Seven Mountains to fight against it. But there are also
One possibility is that the trouble he created for [Star Fire] was noticed by [The King of Time and Space Conqueror], so he was ready to take advantage of it.
If it is the former situation, it has nothing to do with Mr. Sun. If it is the latter, it is what Mr. Sun does not want to see. [The King of Time and Space Conqueror] defeated [Star Fire] and then invaded the Xilan Kingdom. He has been busy for a while
, in the end it was cheaper for [The King of Time and Space Conqueror], and Master Sun was certainly not willing to accept such a result.
He asked Quintina: "Where is that cliff located in the Sunset Kingdom?"
"This is the top secret of the Sunset Kingdom, and the outside world has no way of knowing it. In fact, the specific location is only in the hands of the [King of Conqueror of Time and Space], the senior members of the Holy See. Any believer who wants to become a favored one by God needs to pay a high price.
Please ask the Holy See to send people to capture the sacrifices."
"Every time a sacrifice is captured, it is said that several of the six mountains' power will be lost. These six mountains' power should be strong men secretly cultivated by the Holy See."
It seems that it is not cost-effective for the Holy See to create God's Favored Ones, but when it comes to war, the role of one top powerhouse is far greater than that of several low-level powerhouses.
And from within the Holy See, after the number of strong men secretly cultivated reaches a certain scale, they are willing to consume some of them in exchange for God's Favored Persons or various resources.
These powerful people within the Holy See have no family, no influence, and they don't have much say on their own.
Lord Sun touched his chin. It seemed like he had to go to the Sunset Kingdom. He instructed Quintina: "Inform the president and collect all the information about the God's Favorite and the Cliff in the Sunset Kingdom."
"As commanded."
The Hoffman Brotherhood was very fast, and it only took three days to send the information. In fact, various countries had already investigated the corresponding information, but later on, there were fewer and fewer God-favored people, and this kind of investigation stopped.
The Hoffman Brothers had money and connections, so they spent a large sum of gold coins to buy the sealed information.
The intelligence gathered the results of investigations from all parties and concluded that there are three possible locations for the cliff, each one more dangerous than the last.
The first is the [Fire and Sand Desperation] in the extreme south of the Sunset Kingdom, the second is the [Abandoned Land of Nava God] in the Quesada Province, and the third is the end of the [Road of Despair] in the northeast of the empire.
The Red Yi Barbarian Continent calls the Destruction Territory the "God-Abandoned Land". [Fire Sand Desperate Territory] is a terrifying desert. Thirty-four God-Abandoned Lands have been discovered in it. It is said that the total number is more than a hundred. Then
A cliff is probably hidden in one of the abandoned places.
Although the Fire and Sand Desperate Realm itself is not the Abandoned Land of the Gods, there are quicksands all over it. Rivers of fire often appear out of thin air on the ground. The monsters in the Abandoned Land of the Gods often come out. The level of danger is extremely high. Almost no one is willing to go there.
Go explore.
The Nava God's Abandoned Land ranks among the top three in danger among all the known God-Abandoned Lands in the Sunset Kingdom. The [Road of Despair] is a place of confusion in time and space, located in the dense mountain forest in the northeast of the Sunset Kingdom.
It is a spacious road built with a rammed earth roadbed and gravel pavement by an unknown person. It is twenty meters wide, enough for five carriages to travel abreast.
The scenery on both sides of the road is beautiful, but chaotic time and space may appear on the road at any time. It is said that no one has ever walked down this road. The road continues forward and passes through the mountains. It is said that no one has ever walked down this road.
Cross the end of this road.
No matter whether it rains or snows in the surrounding mountains and forests, this road will never be affected and looks extremely lonely.
There was a time when this was the place used by the Sunset Kingdom to execute convicted nobles. The euphemistic name was: to maintain the dignity of the nobles.
Their heads were chopped off on the guillotine, and their blood spattered two meters. For nobles, even if they committed a capital crime, they should not have such an end. Let them embark on this road, so there is "Despair"
The name of the road.
However, in that era, choosing to go to the [Road of Despair] to be tortured required you to pay an additional "travel fee." Mr. Sun seriously suspected that this was just a way for the Sunset Kingdom to drain the death penalty nobles.
What about those who couldn't afford the carriage fare? Of course, they would be beheaded on the spot. Who cares if the nobles who have no money are not decent?
Mr. Sun took out the earthen jar. He had deduced it before, but to no avail. The cliff's predecessor was Luo Shen Yuan, and the cause and effect involved were too great, so it was normal that it could not be calculated.
Now that there are three alternative answers, Mr. Sun used the crock pot to deduce it again. This time, the crock pot was not required to give an accurate answer. He only needed to calculate which place was the most likely. So this time the calculation was very easy.
The result was soon obtained, and the answer given by the crock pot was: the road to despair.
…
In the Imperial Preceptor's castle tower, there have been several mysterious guests visiting these days, including the Imperial Preceptor's confidants, disciples, and others. They have never seen these people before. They left quietly after having a secret conversation with the Imperial Preceptor. I don't know where they will go from here.
Where it comes from and where it goes.
But the Imperial Master was still undecided.
"Even though the Wu Dynasty is still strong, it has not shown signs of rising. Sun Changming may only be able to prolong the life of the Wu Dynasty for thousands of years." The imperial master accompanied Xiao Wu and gently picked up the water in the lotus vat with his slender fingers.
Xiao Wu hesitated for a moment, and said in human words: "The recovery of the source has come, and there will be no more peaceful time for thousands of years." It knew the mentality of the national master very well, and the national master was unwilling to give up the perseverance of two generations.
In other words, the Imperial Master was unwilling to live up to his master's instructions before his death.
She still hopes that even if this "hope" cannot be realized in her own hands, it will continue to be passed on to her disciples. If it is not enough by the generation of her disciples, at least she will not violate the master's will.
But in the past few days, the Imperial Preceptor has recruited those mysterious people. They are the secret arrangement of the Imperial Preceptor. Once activated... they will completely subvert the court of Sangdao, change the king, and assassinate the disobedient vassals.
To ensure that the entire Sang Island completely obeys the orders of the national master!
Xiao Wu feels that the national teacher is in a state of self-contradiction. She has verified through the True Dragon Water Palace that the national destiny of the Wu Dynasty is still far ahead of Sangdao. She is ready to change her course, but she is psychologically unwilling to accept this.
situation.
After hearing Xiao Wu's words, the Imperial Master sighed. When she got Xiao Xuanwu, she really thought that "the situation is mine" and immediately launched a plan to bring back Osaki Magatama. However, the result was an unexpected failure until this time in the East China Sea.
Only then did she understand why, because little Xuanwu was suppressed by a little loach.
At this moment, the Imperial Preceptor's jade ears moved slightly, and there was a sound of footsteps coming up from below. The Imperial Preceptor wondered: "It's Juro, what is he doing here?"
Utsunomiya Juro came to the door, knelt down and knocked: "Master, Juro wants to see you."
The wooden door opened automatically. The Imperial Master had returned to the desk. Little Xuanwu was swimming in the lotus tank like an ordinary little turtle. The Imperial Master said calmly: "Come in."
Utsunomiya Juro walked in and bowed again in front of the Imperial Master: "Master, my disciple has something important to confess to you?"
The Imperial Master remained calm: "Just tell me."
"Master, take a look at this first." Utsunomiya Juro touched his hand and pulled off a square ring! The Imperial Master's eyes were slightly confused. When Utsunomiya Juro came in, he did not have this ring on his hand.
This thing was hidden, and the Imperial Master did not notice it.
The Imperial Master raised his sleeves and wrapped his arms around Fang Jie. After a moment, the Imperial Master gently exhaled: "Da Luo Realm Gate?"
The Imperial Master understood why Utsunomiya Juro was able to stand out. The conditions for the Imperial Master to accept disciples were very strict. She had also gone through rigorous competition before she could finally inherit the master's mantle. So even being a registered disciple of the Imperial Master was not easy.
, for example, one of them is the Northern Saint.
Utsunomiya Juro was very outstanding, but it was not enough for him to be successfully promoted to the sixth realm, and he was taken by the national master by his side. He even thought about turning him into an official direct disciple.
It turns out that it relies on the training and rewards of the [Da Luo Realm Gate] adventure.
Utsunomiya Juro said: "It wasn't that the disciple was bold enough to deliberately deceive the master before, it was because this object was not allowed to reveal secrets, otherwise the disciple would definitely die. But this time... the master has seen this adventure, right?"
The Imperial Master nodded slightly, the mission of this adventure is: to find the dragon-slaying treasure, the Sky-Breaking Saw!
Da Luo Realm Gate has given detailed rewards and punishments, as well as the location of this adventure: the former [Luo Shen Abyss].
The Imperial Master is more knowledgeable than Sun Changming. When she saw the names Duantian Saw and Luo Shenyuan, she remembered the dragon-slaying incident that shocked the world that she had read in ancient books.
Juro Utsunomiya said: "This time the Daluo Realm Sect no longer requires confidentiality and gives instructions. If you feel that you are not capable enough, you can find a collaborator. The first person that the disciples think of is the master."
The Imperial Master returned Fang Jie to his disciple: "This adventure is very dangerous. Master Luo Shen Yuan knows that in that ancient era, due to the fall of the powerful Dragon Lord, it became a forbidden area, and the real dragon entered it.
It will also perish.
Now that the sky's orbit has reversed, it will definitely be more dangerous there.
Although Da Luo Realm Gate has given the specific location of Luo Shen Abyss, the chance of success of this adventure will be more than 30%."
Utsunomiya Juro was disappointed: "Disciple understands, I dare not disturb the master anymore..." He stood up to leave, but was stopped by the national master: "Master did not say not to help you."
Utsunomiya Juro was surprised, but there was no clue on the Imperial Master's face: "You go and prepare yourself, and then go down and pass the order to prepare the Imperial Imperial Guard's building and ship, and we will set off early tomorrow morning."
Utsunomiya Juro was overjoyed: "Thank you Master! If Master takes action, this adventure will be inevitable..." The Imperial Master waved his hand to interrupt him: "No need to flatter, go and prepare."
Utsunomiya Juro accepted the order and retreated. When he reached the lower level, he still could not suppress his excitement. The beautiful figure of the Imperial Master flashed through his mind countless times every day. In many adventures in the Daluo Realm Gate, he narrowly escaped death. Every time
Each time, I relied on "I want to go back alive to see Master again" to persevere.
He buried this strange feeling deeply in his heart and never dared to reveal it to his master. He knew that as long as he dared to speak out, he would never see her again.
But this time, Luoshenyuan is extremely dangerous, and Master will not bring anyone else with him. I finally have the opportunity to be alone with Master for a long time. Even if it may cost my life!
Xiao Xuanwu flew out of the lotus vat, and the Imperial Master's eyes sparkled: "Xiao Wu, this is an opportunity! The sky-breaking saw has killed four generations of true dragons. As long as I get this treasure, I will have the chance to kill it."
The dragon spirit of the Wu Dynasty royal family!"
Little Xuanwu sighed secretly. Sure enough, he still refused to give up. He nodded vigorously: "I will go with you."
The Imperial Master was excited for a moment, but quickly calmed down: "According to your opinion, what is the mystery behind this [Daluo Realm Gate]?"
When the national master held the square ring just now, Xiao Xuanwu also sensed it. It said: "It is not a thing from the Bahuang world!" The national master nodded: "It is the same as my judgment. Moreover, this adventure is very dangerous and dangerous.
Rakaimen will not place its hopes on Juro alone. This time we are likely to encounter visitors from other worlds."
Xiao Xuanwu didn't care: "Their existence level will not be higher than mine."
The Imperial Master said quietly: "If I still fail this time... I will accept my fate..."
Early the next morning, the Imperial Master only brought the manpower to drive the large ship. The only passengers on the ship were her and Utsunomiya Juro, and sailed into the vast sea, heading for the Red Barbarian Continent.
The National Preceptor knew the location of the Red Yi Barbarian Continent - the Red Yi Barbarians from the Nanni Kingdom came from the sea. As a maritime nation, Sang Dao would not be unprepared. The National Preceptor once sent a fleet to look for the Red Yi Barbarians.
In the hometown of Barbarians, these people narrowly escaped death and brought back the exact news.
The moment the building ship set sail, a hint of irritation suddenly appeared in the heart of the Imperial Master: That guy from the Great Wu Dynasty has already extended his tentacles to the Red Yi Barbarian Continent. This time, he will not have anything to do with him during this long trip.
Trouble?
The Imperial Master dismissed these negative emotions, turned around and walked into the cabin, telling Utsunomiya Juro: "Keep an eye on it and you can open the escape channel when the time is right."
"yes."
…
Master Sun used "Sky Butterfly Transformation" to disguise himself as a person from the Sunset Kingdom, mixed with a caravan of the Hoffman Brotherhood, and spent half a month arriving in the province where the "Road to Despair" is located.
Then he left the caravan and walked alone. On the way, he "visited" several temples of the [Lord of the Conqueror of Time and Space], looking for some loopholes in his faith. The [Lord of the Conqueror of Time and Space] and the [Eternal Divine Lord] were also his enemies.
. Even if he really occupied the Xilan Kingdom, the two evil gods would definitely join forces to deal with him.
Master Sun has determined one thing: although the powers of the three evil gods are slightly different, there is no doubt that the essence of their powers is the same. This feeling is like the monks of the Great Wu Dynasty having sects, but
All those who cultivate are Yuanli.
The president prepared a map for Mr. Sun, recording in detail the route to the "Road of Despair". Mr. Sun came to a small town near the "Road of Despair" to take a break, and then found that this small town was very lively.
There are only two streets in the city, but 80% of the shops sell fishing gear!
It's just that the product is not an ordinary fishing gear. The materials used are very particular. Compared with the low-level divine creations, at least they are no less sturdy. There are many people from outside the small town. They go in and out of these shops, bargain for the fishing gear, and then go out.
The city leads straight to the road of despair.
Mr. Sun found a hotel to stay in. The owner of the hotel was a fat aunt who was very talkative. Mr. Sun deliberately guided her, and the aunt quickly started chatting: "You are also here to catch treasures, right?"
"It has suddenly become popular in the past few years, but that's fine. In the past, my hotel only had two or three guests a day, but now it is full almost every day."
"I'm telling you, you have to choose your fishing gear well, otherwise the fishing line will break and you won't catch anything after finally catching the treasure from the chaos of time and space."
"I'll introduce you to the sixth store on the left on this street. Old Henry's products are the best. If you go and tell him that Doris from the hotel introduced him, he will give you the best products."
Master Sun asked again: "What treasures can you catch recently?"
The aunt named Doris mysteriously took out something and wrapped it in a brown coarse cloth: "Do you want it? I also do some business in this area. This is a fishing treasure that I didn't have money to pay for."
What was given to me is a very mysterious treasure."
Mr. Sun remained calm: "Let me take a look first." The aunt opened the cloth bag and Mr. Sun saw a broken iron plate with several ancient seal characters on it: Yaochi Guard Forty-Three!
The last word "三" is broken, but it can still be recognized.
Chapter completed!
