After listening to He Qingchen's story, Zhao Shu pondered for a long time and had to admit that not only Li Chun was involved in this plan, but the Yongcui Sacred Tree was also involved.
He Qingchen continued: "Now Li Chun is stationed in Changling City, which is only a hundred miles away from several frontline battlefields, so that he can support various places at any time. Even if he cannot be lured out of Changling City, he must be forced to not leave at will."
"If the Four Immortals showed up in person, Li Chun would not dare to move even after thinking about it." Han Yuanzi said.
He Qingchen said: "If Master takes action, Li Chun cannot escape. In order to protect the front line of the battlefield, he must step forward."
"Wait a minute." Han Yuanzi interrupted: "Is your idea too smooth? Today's Li Chun is not an ordinary person. With his merits in rituals, he can stay in Changling City to open the altar.
He is facing my enemy from a hundred miles away. He is a descendant of Zanli Guan. As long as I can't hold on, I will go to him to confront him head-on, but I will suffer a loss."
"So we still have to lure him out." He Qingchen said: "In terms of military strength, Jiuli Kingdom is far from being comparable to our Xiong Kingdom. And the person Li Chun relies on on the front line is the elusive army of dead souls. Ours
The soldiers are indeed brave, but facing the ghosts and ghosts who are not afraid of weapons, the morale of the soldiers is greatly shaken."
"In the final analysis, we still can't avoid the dead soldiers and horses summoned by Li Chun." Zhao Shu said.
"It would not be difficult for me to save hundreds of dead souls, but I am not sure about thousands of ghost soldiers." Han Yuanzi did not boast that he specialized in the art and went to Jingzong to practice it.
Sanguang, based on light lifting, is not good at saving the souls of the dead.
"I...maybe there is a way." Zhao Shu pondered for a moment, faced the two people's gazes, and said: "I can lend the cave generals of Qingya Wonderland to the seniors. As long as the seniors abide by the law and save the evil soldiers and ghosts, it will not be a problem.
.”
He Qingchen asked: "Are you sure this method is feasible?"
"When Liang Tao first came out of Difeishan, his famous battle was patrolling the territory with a sword and killing the ghost commander of Black Mountain." Zhao Shu explained: "Liang Tao relied on the thousands of saints in Qingya Wonderland to overwhelm the ghost commander of Black Mountain.
The dark soldiers and ghost soldiers show their merits."
Han Yuanzi asked with a profound look on his face: "Then how are you going to lend me the Dongtian generals?"
Zhao Shui took out the Iron Order of Tiger Power from his sleeve, lightly brushed it with his fingertips, sketched a few strokes, and then said: "Generals of the Cave Heaven, following his orders."
Han Yuanzi nodded in approval: "It's just like when the imperial court is conquering foreign enemies, the monarch will give the tiger talisman for mobilizing troops to the generals."
Zhao Miao was about to say something but stopped: "It's just... if seniors want to be able to command and dispatch generals like an arm, I'm afraid it's not only necessary to have the corresponding cultivation level and magic power."
Han Yuanzi had already understood and answered: "I'd better accept the Dharma basket you gave me, right?"
Zhao Shu said very cautiously: "I don't know whether this move will hinder the senior's cultivation."
"Why aren't you worried about the leakage of the Chongxuan Pavilion inheritance?" Han Yuanzi asked.
Zhao Shu suddenly had a thought: "Isn't it just for the immortals to open up the Heavenly Palace to participate in the mysteries of creation and the secrets of immortal magic? Harmony of light and dust, all dharma returns to the same origin, this may not necessarily be a deliberate effort, it may just be a more profound natural creation."
When Han Yuanzi heard this, he held his breath and remained silent for a long time. He looked deeply at Zhao Shu, and nodded slightly in a subtle and difficult-to-detect manner. He Qingchen was at the side and didn't know why, but he also looked thoughtful.
In fact, Zhao Shu felt that he could vaguely touch a layer of window paper, but he was not sure yet what kind of realm it was on the other side, so he needed someone to help him confirm it.
Han Yuanzi seemed to have figured something out, so he came to the memorial tablets of the Shangjing Sect's ancestors, knelt down, kowtowed and offered silent blessings.
After a while, Han Yuanzi stood up and faced Zhao Mi, bowed and said, "Master, please give me the urn."
Zhao Mian's expression was solemn, and his whole body suddenly shone with light. He twisted the five fingers of his right hand, and the divine light returned nine times. He condensed a little millet bead and placed it towards Han Yuanzi's eyebrows.
The candlelight in the Patriarch's Hall seemed to create a mysterious feeling, leading directly to the thoroughfare of heaven. Everything in front of Zhao Shui suddenly disappeared, as if he was in the Milky Way in the Nine Heavens, looking at the ascended disciples of the Shangjing Sect from generation to generation, each living in the Xingxiu Palace, and bowing their hands in salute to him.
Zhao Shu bowed in return and raised his eyes again. Everything around him returned to normal.
"Did you...see it?" Han Yuanzi asked, but his words
It's unclear.
Zhao Shu nodded in agreement. When he gave Han Yuanzi the Dharma Ribbon, the inheritance of the Shangjing Sect's immortal method naturally came to mind, and he sensed that the founder of the Shangjing Sect was also an immortal family who agreed to open up the heaven.
However, this is not only a show of goodwill, but also a test. The ancestors of the Shangjing Sect wanted to know whether the future Emperor of Heaven would really be able to integrate all the laws of the heavens.
"I probably understand." Han Yuanzi raised his hand and said, "How about I deal with Li Chun?"
Zhao Shu handed the Tiger Power Iron Order to the other party: "Thank you, senior."
"Li Chun has great magic power and the realm of the sacred tree is unpredictable. The situation you have to face is unpredictable." Han Yuanzi said: "The Evergreen Divine Tree is related to the energy of heaven and earth, so it has the ability to predict good and bad luck. Damage to the sacred tree will bear the responsibility.
It’s so serious that I’m afraid a disaster will hit me on the spot.”
"This will eventually come." Zhao Shu said: "My cultivation cannot be judged by ordinary theories. The three disasters are also the result of the creation of heaven and earth. After all, I have to experience them personally before I can be called universal consciousness."
"That's fine." Han Yuanzi looked at He Qingchen: "You, what should I say to you? You are so scheming that even the Patriarch of Heaven is involved in you."
He Qingchen lowered his head and did not dare to say anything. Zhao Shu said, "This is enough to prove that the opening of the heaven is not only related to the heavens and immortals, but also the changes in the earthly world."
Han Yuanzi stopped talking, but Zhao Shu said: "Let's not talk about that, let's continue talking about the affairs of Jiuli Kingdom. Since our predecessors can summon generals, Li Chun's ghost army is not a worry. But all the masters of Shangjing Zong
They are all sent to the front line of the conflict with the Jiuli Kingdom. Is this arrangement inappropriate?"
"Are you worried that Yaochi Kingdom and King Baixiang will take the opportunity to cause trouble?" He Qingchen asked.
"King Baixiang has a violent and ferocious temperament. If he knows the news about my reappearance in the world, he should take action." Zhao Shu said: "What's more, Xiong and Jiuli are raising their troops in large numbers, and the Yaochi Kingdom should not let such a war opportunity go.
"
He Qingchen said: "I have prepared the means to deal with King Baixiang."
"Oh? I wonder what the clever plan is?" Zhao Shu asked.
"It's either a clever plan or a way to defeat the enemy." He Qingchen explained: "Your Majesty is already able to draw the Tong Bow. In terms of physical strength, it's hard to say who is better than the former evil dragon."
"Tong Gong?" Zhao Shu was shocked when he heard this: "The current Emperor Xiong is actually able to use this magical weapon?"
The Tong Bow Su Rui is an artifact handed down from the Tianxia Dynasty. It is said that those without the destiny of an emperor cannot hold the bow and let it go. At that time, Shen Heng, the great ancestor of Xiong, used the Tong Bow artifact to sweep away the land and lay the foundation for the founding of the country. Chi, one of the demon gods of Liannan,
The King of Plague was also defeated by Tong Gong, and the emperor showed his power even more in the battle of slaying a dragon.
However, in recent years, we have never heard of the Emperor of the Xiong Kingdom using a bow to defend against enemies, and now that He Qingchen is presiding over state affairs, everyone thinks that the current Emperor of the Xiong Kingdom is just a weak king. How could they have expected that he could use the sacred weapon Tonggong?
Han Yuanzi said seriously: "When the divine weapon opens its bow, its power will shock the heavens and the earth and weep ghosts and gods. There is only one chance for an arrow."
"Yes, so I don't want Your Majesty to fire his bow and arrows unless it is absolutely necessary, or if it is enough to secure victory." He Qingchen nodded.
Zhao Shui was surprised. He found that He Qingchen was not simply pretending to have authority over the existence of Emperor Xiong. Perhaps the inner story was not consistent with what outsiders knew.
"If King Baixiang really wants to come, don't rush to let the emperor shoot arrows." Han Yuanzi said: "He doesn't know what we are planning here. Even if he really comes, he won't find Zhao Shu."
Zhao Shu asked: "Senior, please don't be careless. King Baixiang is a ferocious and warlike beast. If he sees that senior and Li Chun are fighting fiercely, he will probably take the opportunity to join forces with Li Chun."
"Of course I know it." Han Yuanzi said with a smile: "Back in Difei Mountain, we saw clearly the situation between you and King Baixiang, and we have also been deducing countermeasures over the years.
Dharma is not only physically strong, but also has the wonderful ability to endure hardships and remain strong and refined."
Hearing this, Zhao Shu recalled the battle at Difei Mountain. As Liang Tao was promoted step by step, Zhao Shu's magical power from the Immortal Family that was blessed by Zhao Shui also continued to increase. In the final fierce battle with King Baixiang, Zhao Shui's magic power was even more advanced than it is now.
, coupled with the two magic weapons of Zichen Xuanwei Sword and Daming Mirror, he was able to cut off an arm of King Baixiang just now, which shows how powerful this beast is.
"Such extraterrestrial laws, before
Do you see any shortcomings?" Zhao Shu asked.
"Shortcomings? When you reach the level of King Baixiang, there is nothing shortcoming." Han Yuanzi pondered for a moment: "If I insist on saying it, maybe I can't mobilize the energy of heaven and earth like you."
"This is indeed not a shortcoming." Zhao Shu was helpless.
Han Yuanzi explained: "Although I haven't been able to fully observe it, I can vaguely see something mysterious. The heavenly method practiced by King Baixiang does not rely on external pursuits, but strives to form its own pattern within the body. Therefore, a strong body is only an external display.
The most terrifying thing about this person is that his will is unbreakable and his thoughts cannot be confused. All means of disturbing the body and mind are completely useless. Fighting with him will only be face to face and head-on."
"I've noticed this too." Zhao Shu nodded.
"However, at the level of Baixiang King, he has such a violent mind. I want to remind you." Han Yuanzi said: "It is impossible for him to be subdued and enlightened. Although it is good to be in harmony with light and dust, he cannot
I may not be willing to open my heart to you."
"I understand that King Baixiang and I are destined to fight to the death." Zhao Shu had no intention of letting King Baixiang go, even if it wasn't for the purpose of opening up the heaven.
"We have already discussed it, do you think there is anything else you want to say?" Han Yuanzi asked He Qingchen.
He Qingchen nodded slightly, then turned to Zhao Shu and said, "I'm not going to hide it. If you go to Yongcui Temple to cut down the sacred tree, there won't be anyone else to back you up. I don't know the details of the spies I installed in Jiuli Country.
, all arrangements are made for the front line as much as possible, only in this way can we hide the truth."
"But there is still the goddess in Yongcui Temple." Zhao Shu said.
"The goddess rarely shows her magical power. I only know that she leads a group of witches to worship the sacred tree. She often visits various places and administers medicine to save people." He Qingchen's expression was solemn: "If you can, then include her.
Behead."
Zhao Miao said doubtfully: "The goddess Yongcui Temple has no evil deeds."
"If you want to cut down the sacred tree, how can the other party just sit back and ignore it?" He Qingchen said, "And I can tell you clearly that this goddess of Yongcui Temple is definitely not a kind person. The spies I arranged discovered that Yongcui
The shamans of the temple have gone deep into the southern soil many times, where the Buxing star originally fell, to collect the remains of demon gods, and handed them over to some evil cultivators who took refuge in the Jiuli Kingdom, and used their blood to regenerate souls to forge evil weapons and magic weapons."
"I will investigate your words separately." Zhao Shu did not believe it easily because he knew very little about the goddess Yongcui Temple.
"You said you recovered the divine sword before. Could it be that you killed the one that killed Liang Tao and Canghua Tianjun one after another?" Han Yuanzi suddenly asked.
"Not bad." Zhao Shu nodded.
"Are you planning to use this divine sword to cut down the Evergreen Divine Tree?" Han Yuanzi said, "This sword can cut down Canghua Tianjun, so it must be a powerful weapon for killing immortals."
Zhao Shu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this divine sword may not cut down the Evergreen Sacred Tree."
After taking back the Sword of Silence, Zhao Shui understood that the sword could be hurt and that it could not be hurt. If someone had murderous intentions in his heart, the Sword of Silence would naturally sense it and not only kill the enemy, but also injure himself.
On the contrary, if one is guarding the inner silence and has no killing intention, the divine sword's sharp edge will appear as if it is nothing. The Evergreen Divine Tree is not an ordinary person, so Zhao Shu guessed that it would be difficult for the divine sword to perform meritorious deeds.
"You have more than one fairy magic weapon in your hand. I think there are many ways to do it." Han Yuanzi didn't worry too much. It seemed like he was speaking to He Qingchen.
"You should know the key to this matter better than we do." He Qingchen didn't say anything more. At this point, it was up to each person's ability.
After the discussion, Zhao Shu left the Patriarch's Hall to make preparations, while He Qingchen chatted with Han Yuanzi alone:
"Master, what does the theory of heaven mean?"
"You still asked, I didn't want to mention it." Han Yuanzi sighed: "In fact, all the immortals discussed together, integrated various caves, and opened up the heaven."
He Qingchen was puzzled: "Isn't this a good thing?"
"It's good to be reunited, but how can such a thing be so easy?" Han Yuanzi said: "The foundations of all the laws in the heavens are different. If you want to integrate them into one, rather than swallow them up, you must have someone who can tolerate them all.
Realm, such incredible power, there is a way to explain it - Taiyi."
"Taiyi, the Emperor of Heaven?" He Qingchen suddenly realized after hearing this: "The immortals want to elect Zhao Shu to be the Emperor of Heaven?"
"Keep your voice down! If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!" Han Yuanzi quickly tried to persuade him. Even though the Patriarch's Hall would not be spied on by outsiders, he was still extremely vigilant.
"The Patriarchs..." He Qingchen gestured to the sky.
"The Nine Heavens Galaxy has long been in the heaven, waiting for the Emperor of Heaven to come." Han Yuanzi nodded and said.
"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it..." He Qingchen was greatly surprised, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind: "In this way, it seems that all my future arrangements for Zhao Shu will be overthrown."
"What? What else do you want from Zhao Shu?" Han Yuanzi asked.
He Qingchen replied: "After my death, I planned to appoint Zhao Shu as the national advisor to assist His Majesty Zuo and sponsor rituals. But I didn't expect that he would be favored by the immortal family in heaven."
"You are brave enough." Han Yuanzi shook his head and laughed: "Even if we don't mention what the Immortal Family in Heaven thinks, Zhao Shu himself may not be happy with your arrangement, and it will be difficult for everyone in the Xiong Kingdom to accept it."
