With Fang Chang's breakthrough and the legendary background of thunder and disaster, Fang Chang's name has become somewhat famous in the entire Annan Road.
Of course, if it were placed ten years ago, ordinary practitioners would have known it all.
But now, as the number of Jindan Masters increases, people no longer bother to remember the names of every Jindan Masters.
Only find out when necessary.
In this context, almost everyone has a consensus - the world of cultivation is not far away.
But no one knew that this great world would come so quickly.
At the same time as Fang Chang's breakthrough, Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, was thousands of miles away from Annan Road.
Former Prince's Mansion.
It is now desolate, with moss growing all over the walls.
Only a few of these small courtyards are still somewhat popular.
This was originally the special care given by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to the female crown prince Zhou Zhao, who was allowed to build a palace when she was still underage.
But with Zhou Zhao's performance, the female crown prince began to live up to her reputation.
It was not until five years ago that the Emperor of Tang Dynasty broke through the golden elixir realm and lived for five hundred years. The position of the prince became more and more annoying.
After years of petitions from ministers, the Tang Emperor deposed Zhou Zhao's female crown prince half-heartedly, and imprisoned her in the former Prince's Mansion, now Princess Zhaoyang's Mansion.
He also ordered three hundred imperial guards to guard him and prohibited him from stepping outside the palace for the rest of his life.
And the team of ministers in the former Prince's Mansion also dispersed.
There were only a few people accompanying Zhou Zhao to take care of him, and one of them was the most special, named Cheng Kai. He was a member of the Cheng family of Lu Guogong and called himself Qingniu Taoist.
Because most of the others have no choice if they stay, if they leave, their bodies will be kept and hung at home the next day.
Only Cheng Kai.
As a member of the Cheng family, he has served in the Tiance Mansion, and he has a cultivation level in the Golden Core realm. If he chooses to leave, there will be many people willing to accept him.
After the Cheng family learned about it, they sent people many times to invite him to come home.
But he refused them all.
This makes people wonder what Zhou Zhao gave him to make him so desperate.
And Zhou Zhao was also asking him.
"Sir, two more people left the house yesterday. Now, apart from you and Gu, there is only one big cat left."
And Da Meow is a dog, a dog who cannot choose his own destiny.
In the small courtyard.
Zhou Zhao and Cheng Kai sat opposite each other.
On the small red stove, a pot of water is boiling.
Zhou Zhao reached out to pick up the kettle and poured it into the tea cup. He made a hissing sound as he alternated between hot and cold. The tea leaves swirled from the bottom of the cup to the surface of the water, and a faint scent of tea emerged with the water vapor.
Twenty-one-year-old Zhou Zhao has already made a stunning appearance.
However, she prefers to wear men's clothing. She has a beautiful figure hidden under a green gown. Her face is clean and natural without makeup, and she has a light and calm smile on her face.
Nothing seemed to move her.
Even when the Tang Emperor's decree to abolish her position as crown prince arrived, she looked indifferent. She quietly accepted the decree and watched quietly as the huge tree in the Prince's Mansion fell down and scattered.
She stayed like this for five full years in this desolate and lifeless Prince's Mansion.
Cheng Kai picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He seemed to be unmoving and unyielding.
Why doesn't he leave?
"Maybe it's because of habit."
After five years of confinement, the two of them had become almost both teachers and friends. It was a bit silly to worry about the status between monarch and ministers.
Cheng Kai's face showed a look of reminiscence.
"Actually, it's not bad to stay here with His Highness. If I go out, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself."
Zhou Zhao knew that Cheng Kai had other motives for seeking refuge with her, but after so many years of her downfall, this motive became somewhat of a question mark.
"Oh, don't you want to go out, sir?"
"With your skills, sir, why bother wasting your time with a loser like Gu?"
Cheng Kai smiled lightly and said: "Your Highness, the best answer to this question is if I want to take action. If I wanted to leave, I would have left five years ago.
Thank you, Your Highness, for the tea."
What can I do now? In a single thought, I mistakenly believed the nonsense of some little bastard and got on the wrong boat.
Then there is only one way to go until dark.
At least for the sake of being cheated, he should be nice to his granddaughter.
But based on the news he's received over the years, that kid is pretty calm.
Cheng Kai picked up the tea cup and took another sip. The slightly bitter tea swirled around in his mouth, and when he swallowed it, there was a faint sweetness in his throat.
"The servants of this sect are becoming more and more difficult to deal with. The tea delivered to the mansion is getting better every time. I could still taste a little spiritual energy before."
After receiving Cheng Kai's answer, Zhou Zhao also picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
"Sir, what you said is right. This tea leaf is getting better and better, so I want to have a good discussion with my father.
Sir, do you dare to accompany me alone?"
Cheng Kai was stunned.
At this moment, he saw an unprecedented light in Zhou Zhao's eyes.
Just like a stone embryo being cut open, the peerless jade inside is revealed, like a peerless sword that has been hidden in its scabbard for ten years, revealing its edge for the first time.
"Why don't you dare!" He laughed: "It's just a death."
"I just have a question for Your Highness."
"Excuse me, sir."
"Your Highness has been hiding for so many years, why doesn't he hide now?"
"Because, the sky has become higher."
Zhou Zhao pointed to the sky and stood up.
"Sir, please follow me to heaven."
She took a step forward, and the air shook, and infinite spiritual energy gathered from all directions.
Ten meters, one hundred meters, ten thousand meters...
The spiritual energy within a hundred miles radius is driven by it, and the celestial phenomena change according to the mood.
In Chang'an City, all the hidden master monks were alarmed. They looked at the huge whirlpool of spiritual energy in the sky in surprise, and their hearts suddenly cast a shadow.
"what happened?"
"Why, I have a bad feeling."
"What a domineering technique. Who is practicing here to cause such a celestial phenomenon?"
…
Cheng Kai looked at Zhou Zhao who was at the center of the storm, but a thought suddenly came to his mind.
Is that guy really right?
Just the first step.
Zhou Zhao, who was originally mortal, broke through to the realm of refining Qi.
One more step.
When Zhou Zhao ascended the sky, it was like an invisible staircase appeared in the sky, refining Qi and advancing to the realm of foundation building.
Then comes the third step.
A golden elixir without any flaws was swallowed by Zhou Zhao.
Zhou Zhao has reached the realm of golden elixir.
Breakthrough one step at a time.
The realm barrier that ordinary monks have to practice hard for a lifetime was now in front of Zhou Zhao, as if it didn't exist.
Then the fourth step,
The golden elixir breaks open and the Yuanying comes out of the body.
Then step five...
Until step six!
Cheng Kai's body shook, then shook again, wildly!
Damn it, I want to post it!
Cross the six realms of spiritual practice in an instant!
Refining Qi, Building Foundation, Golden Pill, Nascent Soul, Transforming God, Dongxu!
Chen Tiangang, the supervisor of Qin Tian Jian, who is now known as the number one cultivator in the Tang Dynasty, is only at the peak of Yuanying, and is still one step away from becoming a god.
But in just a short while, Zhou Zhao had already reached two realms higher than him.
If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Cheng Kai would never have been willing to believe that something so challenging to common sense would have happened in front of him.
But that’s the truth!
No wonder she never seemed to care about anything. Cheng Kai finally understood how Zhou Zhao's calmness came from.
Because she has always had the strength and confidence to decide everything.
"Sir, please follow me to heaven."
Zhou Zhao said again.
I saw her wearing a green shirt dancing in the wind, her long and smooth hair hanging down like a waterfall, and a few strands of broken hair on her temples giving her a bit of chicness.
Her voice was calm and her expression was as calm as ever.
But it has turned into a high mountain in Cheng Kai's heart.
He flew up and landed two positions behind Zhou Zhao, but everyone knew who was the protagonist.
…
Outside the Prince's Mansion.
The three hundred imperial guards are all elites in the palace.
If we were in the age of cultivation, everyone here would be as good as ten. After forming a military formation, any top master would be devastated on the spot.
With the advent of the cultivation era, the imperial court, as the biggest beneficiary, naturally received various inheritances.
Among them is the cultivation method of cultivating Tao soldiers, which are originally a kind of tool for practicing large sects to protect the mountain gate.
Select people with average qualifications, practice special exercises in a unified manner, supplement them with special magical tools, and take special elixirs every day. When everyone can have the same energy and come from the same source, as if they are one body, then put them into the specially-made
Refined in the magic circle.
Those who can survive are Tao soldiers.
These Taoist soldiers naturally obey the orders of their masters, connect with the same Qi, and can superimpose their cultivation levels. Depending on the type of Taoist soldiers, they have various magical uses.
However, cultivating Tao soldiers was very expensive. Even when the Emperor of Tang ruled the world, he only trained 800 Tao soldiers for himself.
These eight hundred Dao soldiers are called the Four Elephant Dao soldiers, and they can be subdivided into four types: Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu.
Naturally, not all of the three hundred imperial guards are Taoist soldiers, and among them there are only twenty Xuanwu Taoist soldiers.
At this moment, Zhou Zhao was seen leaving the house without authorization.
Twenty Xuanwu Dao soldiers formed a military formation and guided the rest of the Imperial Guards' military forces, transforming into a Xuanwu beast that resembled a large black turtle.
The captain raised his head and said:
"Luo Wen, the last general and commander of the Cavalry School, has met with Princess Zhaoyang and has not received His Majesty's orders. Please ask Princess Zhaoyang not to step outside the palace.
Mr. Cheng, please don’t make things difficult for me.”
He thought that the princess could fly because Cheng Kai, the golden elixir master, helped her.
At this moment, Zhou Zhao had already restrained all his aura. Luo Wen was just a small captain, and his cultivation level was nothing more than building a foundation. How could he see through the reality?
But Zhou Zhao didn't even look at him, he just led Cheng Kai towards the palace step by step, strolling in the courtyard as if he was interested and wanted to find a place for a walk, that's all.
"The general is offended!"
Luo Wen's expression changed slightly and he moved his hand behind him.
"Start the formation!"
The Xuanwu beast raised its head to the sky and howled, bringing up a hundred-meter wave and pressing towards Zhou Zhao. However, before the attack even reached a hundred meters, it seemed as if it had hit an indestructible mountain wall.
Boom!
The Xuanwu beasts dispersed, and the three hundred guards vomited blood and fell to the ground injured. The leader of the school, Luo Wen, felt stars in his eyes, feeling that he had just offended an immortal god.
His heart was full of panic, and he felt that he was under too much pressure and could not bear the urge to commit suicide.
Fortunately, he was connected with other Taoist soldiers, and after sharing his fear with everyone, he finally gave up the idea of committing suicide.
But there was still a look of horror in his eyes.
In this life, he probably would never dare to offend Zhou Zhao.
Cheng Kai was also filled with awe.
That's the Imperial Guard.
Three hundred imperial guards guarded the Prince's Mansion, mostly to guard against him, the Golden Core Master.
Otherwise, Zhou Zhao, an ordinary mortal before him, could have guarded it by sending a girl with strong hands and feet and a clever command, so there would be no need for three hundred imperial guards to guard it.
It was because in the eyes of Emperor Tang, three hundred imperial guards were enough to suppress a golden elixir monk.
But such a power could easily collapse in front of him, but he didn't even notice the fluctuations in Zhou Zhao's mana.
This gap is like the difference between clouds and mud.
He lowered his head silently and acted as His Highness's accompanying pendant.
Although he didn't know why Zhou Zhao was so powerful, he understood that any benevolent king was now his younger brother.
He knew, however, that when the decree to abolish the female crown prince was made, the civil servants belonging to the line of benevolent kings screamed the most fiercely.
The Prince's Mansion is only five miles away from the palace, but Zhou Zhao walked for a full five minutes. She even had time to comment.
"Sir, you haven't been out of the house for many years, have you noticed any changes in the city?"
Cheng Kai doesn't have the same indifferent mood as when he and Zhou Zhao were just sitting and talking, enjoying a cup of tea. He smiled dryly and said:
"I think it should be more lively. There are more and more people in Chang'an City."
"Yeah, how lively it is."
Zhou Zhao's eyes were long and he said casually:
"It would be a pity if they died like this. Gu still likes the tacky and lively world."
Whoosh whoosh!!!
In the sky above the imperial city, figures one after another rose into the sky, holding various magical weapons, blocking the two of them.
"Your Highness, stop!"
"Cheng Kai, you dare to hold Her Royal Highness hostage. What are your intentions?"
"I have not been summoned by His Majesty, so I would like to invite Her Royal Highness to go back."
At this moment, a sharp voice came from a young eunuch with a fair face and a whisk in his hand.
"Your Majesty has an order for Princess Zhaoyang to pay an audience!"
…
Zhou Zhao suddenly asked Cheng Kai who was standing aside:
"Sir, if you want to rebel, what would be the best thing to say?"
Cheng Kai: "???"
It took him a while before he came to his senses and tentatively said:
"How about King Qin helping me?"
"Save the driver?" Zhou Zhao nodded, "Yes, a good excuse."
The next moment, her cold voice spread throughout the capital.
"Qintian Supervisor Chen Tiangang is controlling the government and confusing the emperor. Today, the lonely king Zhou Zhao has come to the rescue of King Qin!"
"If you open the city gate and welcome the orphan into the city, you can still survive. If not, you will be punished for treason!"
The imperial city guards looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do.
They looked at Zhou Zhao and Cheng Kai with some pity for fools in their eyes.
Probably because he was imprisoned.
"My dear disciple, what nonsense are you talking about?"
At this time, a young Taoist priest with an immortal spirit came flying from the depths of the palace, and everyone came to greet him.
"I've met Mr. Jianzheng."
"Master." Zhou Zhao's eyes showed a rare emotion, "This disciple is here to see Master off today."
As soon as she covered it with her palm, the storm suddenly surged, the universe changed, and endless pressure spread down.
At this moment, the space was like a toy in her hand, and everyone was like mosquitoes sealed in amber, unable to move.
Even Chen Tiangang, who is known as the number one cultivator in the Tang Dynasty, is no exception and has no ability to resist at this moment.
The guards of the imperial city and the monks who worshiped them all turned into little figures in his hands. When Zhou Zhao closed his hands, all these people disappeared.
The veins on Cheng Kai's forehead throbbed wildly.
This magical power, this magical power?!
Take a break today and continue to update tomorrow.
