I had known for a long time that people at the martial saint level had anticipated the disaster in the future, but I did not expect that they knew that the disaster was coming fifteen years ago, or even earlier.
Since they already knew that such a disaster would come, why didn't they change much?
"You know that too?"
I asked in a deep voice. Zen Master Kurong's half-withered and half-glory face showed a very sad look. He looked up at the sky and whispered: "Who can't see it? It has always been there."
There was some shock in my mind, but I wasn't surprised.
After all, before that disaster came, I was seriously injured by a sword master, and he also revealed that there would be a disaster in the future.
Judging from my subsequent deductions of future brothers, the most powerful figures in the world are no strangers to the coming of that disaster.
Whether it is the Hanging Mountain in Kyoto or the Pure Land Sect, they all have a deep understanding of this matter. The only people who do not have a deep understanding of this incident are the most powerful people in this world.
They are the most numerous and widely distributed, but they don't have the slightest understanding of this matter and can only live in confusion.
"You sensed it, didn't you?"
Zen Master Kurong's face looked a little bitter, but at the same time there was a sense of enlightenment.
"No non-Martial Saint can sense it, but since you broke the mystery of the womb, I think you have some of the abilities of a Martial Saint, so you might be able to sense some of it."
"I just have a vague feeling..."
I nodded. In fact, I didn't really step into the realm of the Martial Saint. I was just predicting the future, but it was almost the same.
Anyway, I know the method used to get the result, and the result doesn't matter.
"Then do you think you can walk over?"
Zen Master Kurong looked up at the sky, just like the sword master who seriously injured my future brother in the first place. They always liked to look up at the sky and tell some riddles.
"No matter whether you can walk through it or not, you have to go step by step, right?"
While I was talking, I took out a drop of blood essence from the body of the dragon that was about to transform into a dragon, and swallowed it into my belly.
The strong vitality energy burned in my body, changing my physique in a targeted manner.
The brand new sixth level true dragon body in the body gradually emerged.
Zen Master Kurong looked at me with complex eyes. There was hope in his eyes, but also heavy pressure.
"Perhaps only you can truly navigate this road, the Nine Transformations of Dragon and Snake..."
Zen Master Kurong sighed.
I didn’t explain too much, and I couldn’t explain this matter. I could only move forward step by step.
My authority in Donglin Temple has become stronger and stronger, but I have not liberated many tenants as quickly as before.
With my current prestige and the support of Zen Master Kurong, it is easy to achieve this goal, but if I practice too fast in the realm of strength.
After rushing all the way to the pinnacle of the realm of martial arts masters, it will be difficult to find suitable dragon inner elixirs and the corresponding blood essence. It will also be difficult to practice the Nine Transformations of Dragon and Snake.
Therefore, I have not made many changes yet, and I am not completely ready yet.
I need to make further efforts, quietly accumulate strength to build high walls, accumulate food widely, and slowly become king.
The fighting along the southeast coast has become increasingly fierce.
Many people from aristocratic families paid a huge price. The sunk cost was too high. They didn't want to give up. They still wanted to be the first to land on the island country and eat the most juicy bite of meat. So they organized a second voyage.
I was hoping for success, but the facts tell me that they failed once again, and there was a lot of news coming through.
Some people say that a terrifying monster appeared in the ocean and set off an endless storm, destroying all the ships in that storm.
Some people also say that the Land of the Rising Sun is a land blessed by the gods, and anyone who plots against that land will die in the ocean. The ocean is the best barrier the gods have given to the Land of the Rising Sun.
Since the founding of Daxia, there have been many people who have plans for the Kingdom of the Rising Sun, but all ships that invade the Kingdom of the Rising Sun will be destroyed halfway, without exception.
The most powerful period of Daxia fell into decline because of such an incident, and now some people want to repeat the same mistakes of the past.
Some top martial arts masters also said that the storm on the sea did not come out of thin air, but that there was a terrifying magic circle around the island.
Someone leaked the news that the army was about to invade, and the people from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun activated the magic circle in advance, setting off an endless storm and destroying all the big ships.
It is impossible for an ordinary storm at sea to destroy a fleet protected by top experts. That storm was not ordinary at all, but had a terrifying aura.
The storm that was blowing carried a terrible corrosive gas, which caused the solid body to rot in the violent storm, and the corresponding magic circle collapsed.
There is a terrible smell everywhere, and there are terrible substances everywhere.
Moreover, the terrifying gas also contained strange toxicity, causing many warriors who had been in the war to die from the terrifying poison.
There are all kinds of rumors and all kinds of legends.
This happens in every war, it's normal.
There were a lot of rumors, and no real official came out to refute the rumors, or the refutation of the rumors was not effective. What the official announced was only abnormalities that occurred on the battlefield, and a terrible storm caused heavy losses to the fleet.
The real specific situation can only be passed down by the characters who were defeated on the battlefield.
Among them, the most widely circulated rumor is that the Kingdom of the Rising Sun is protected by gods. Once you invade the Kingdom of the Rising Sun, you will definitely receive brutal revenge.
There were rumors like this when we failed for the first time, but many characters scoffed and didn't listen at all.
When it failed again for the second time, such rumors spread extremely widely and many people heard about it.
I don't believe such rumors at all, and even many aristocratic families don't believe them.
It had been many years since the founding of the country in Daxia. Not long after the founding of the country, everyone's attitude was shattered, and many real gods and demons were killed.
Many wealthy families along the southeastern coast still have relevant records from that time. They were not afraid of gods and demons at all, and even wanted to kill one or two.
For ordinary people, the theory of blessings from gods and demons may be spread, but for the truly strong, the blessings from gods and demons are a joke.
But nowadays, such rumors are extremely widespread. I know that there must be spies from the Land of the Rising Sun among them, but the corresponding figures from the wealthy families must not have done anything secretly.
Normally, the public opinion control related to starting a war with foreign countries must be top-notch ordinary people, and they simply cannot receive so much news. If someone deliberately spreads relevant battlefield news, they will definitely be arrested and killed as soon as possible.
For the news to spread so widely, maybe someone wants to take a long-term approach and catch some spies from the Land of the Rising Sun.
But the greater possibility is that after two consecutive failures, the top aristocratic families on the southeast coast have been unable to suppress the figures from many small and medium-sized aristocratic families below.
After all, in two consecutive wars, these small and medium-sized aristocratic families sent their elite manpower to capture cities and territories, causing them to pay so much twice in a row without any gains.
People from top aristocratic families are willing to obtain the secret of the Nine Transformations of Dragon and Snake at all costs, but these small and medium-sized aristocratic families are not so willing.
Back then, the top aristocratic families had definitely made many promises to them. If they captured the Land of the Rising Sun, they would definitely get a lot of benefits from the Land of the Rising Sun.
They may not be able to get the Nine Transformations of Dragon and Snake, and even if they get it, it won't have much effect. After all, they need too many top-notch spiritual objects and treasures, and they even need many powerful experiments to verify it.
But now there are no benefits, so of course I don’t want to.
To put it simply, being a top aristocratic family loses the support of the people, and when the people's support is dispersed, it becomes difficult to lead the team.
Perhaps among the top wealthy families, some people have given up.
After all, anyone with eyes can clearly see that Daxia deliberately let them swim in this muddy water and consume their strength. The southeast coast has been rich and prosperous for hundreds of years. It can be said to be a sacred land, and every inch of land is valuable.
The top local wealthy families are extremely powerful. The imperial court has always wanted to intervene, but there is no way.
Even a large number of people who win the civil examination every year are provided by wealthy families on the southeast coast.
Their families were so wealthy that they took precedence over the imperial court to select a large number of talented people for them to study.
Then give these scholars enough benefits in advance. Even if they go to high school later, they will still have inextricable relationships with their local families.
After all, their family has no way to move out from the southeast coast, so the southeast coast will be impregnable.
They don't need to be too partial, they just need to enforce the law impartially, and the southeastern coastal area will become stronger and stronger.
The imperial court could not intervene at all.
Some people huddled behind, waiting for Daxia to mobilize their troops, hoping to use Daxia as the main body to attack the Kingdom of the Rising Sun.
After all, they initially thought that the Country of the Rising Sun was a soft persimmon. For so many years, the Country of the Rising Sun has been a grandson, respecting the people in the southeastern coastal areas and respecting Daxia anytime and anywhere.
Now it looks like they can't handle this hard nut, so let Daxia be the vanguard.
Seeing that the overall situation was at a deadlock, I didn't want things to fail like this, so I specially learned the relevant information from Qi Guangji and Yu Zhifu.
The ocean between the Land of the Rising Sun and Daxia is indeed not too far apart. There is only a sea area, but this sea area is turbulent and has a terrifying formation. There are corrosive gases and raindrops in the formation.
Falling on a ship can corrode the ship and poison many characters.
It is indeed quite troublesome.
After two consecutive waves of testing, the opponent in the first wave did not reveal such a powerful magic circle.
There was no toxicity or poisonous rain in the first wave of storms. Many characters simply thought that the storm on the sea was unpredictable and caused their failure.
The second wave of organizations learned from the lessons of the previous round. Someone specially found top people who were good at Taoism and magic circles and could call the wind and rain.
Among them, there are figures from both Buddhism and Taoism, as well as Confucian people who are good at drawing the ground as a prison and calling for wind and rain.
But this time we still suffered a tragic defeat. The opponent's army was submerged in the sea by the storm without even seeing it.
"I looked up the records of that year from the relevant secret records. There are big problems in it. During the glorious period of Daxia, I also tried to go to sea. Once again, I continued the glory of Taizu and searched for relevant fairy islands overseas.
There are also top-notch spiritual creatures.
"At the same time, we allowed those people who had lost their education and were living abroad to return to Daxia and bathe in the cultural glory of Daxia. However, we still suffered defeat in that round. We went to sea three times in a row and failed all three times."
"The magic circle seems to be naturally formed as a huge barrier, and it is not the blessing of the gods."
Yu Zhifu's face also became unusually solemn.
Neither he nor Qi Guangji nor Daxia had paid much attention to this overseas island country before. After all, this island country had always been humble and seemed insignificant.
After many consecutive rounds of defeats, there may still be many people in the public who look down on it or even don't understand that island country, but they have already taken it seriously.
As the top talents in Daxia, they are not afraid of failure, nor are they afraid of failure.
It was in the midst of failure after failure that Daxia ushered in the final victory and then moved towards the pinnacle of glory.
Yu Zhifu found traces of relevant Fa Zheng from various classics, but he still had no solution, and I also thought of a lot.
At that time, Monk Jianzhen traveled eastward to the Land of the Rising Sun in order to spread the glory of Buddhism to the Land of the Rising Sun. However, he encountered shipwrecks at sea six times in a row before he successfully crossed this terrible chasm.
It is obvious that the two sides of the Taiwan Strait are not far apart. Even when the weather is very good, powerful martial arts masters or top magicians can use their magic to see parts of the other side's scene.
However, this gap caused countless people to fail. When that future brother traveled eastward to the Land of the Rising Sun, he also encountered many hardships.
In the end, we successfully went to the Land of the Rising Sun through the merchant ships of the Land of the Rising Sun.
"Merchant ship?"
I got some clues.
That magic circle should not only be born naturally, but also have many acquired influences. At least the people in the Land of the Rising Sun should be quite familiar with that magic circle.
Their merchant ships were able to travel back and forth during this period, so they must have a good understanding of the relevant students of the magic circle.
Of course I didn't say this part of my guess, I was just waiting silently.
After losing two consecutive rounds, Daxia unexpectedly did not send out an army to attack again.
Many aristocratic and wealthy families along the southeastern coast have also settled down. It seems that the whole incident is going to pass quietly like this. I don't want to.
But there is no way to break the magic circle yet. If you don't know the inside story of the magic circle, there is really no way to get past it.
The people in Kyoto are not willing to tell the story of the process of exploring the magic circle. Many wealthy families on the southeast coast are also very secretive about the magic circle and are unwilling to tell others.
This is normal, but I feel quite helpless.
If they are willing to work together, even if the magic circle is not easy to break, at least many soldiers on the southeast coast will not need to die in the ocean for no reason.
Daxia is obviously extremely powerful, but it has to consume its own strength for no reason amid internal strife.
I was waiting silently, thinking that this moment would pass.
Unexpectedly, soon after there were no storms along the southeastern coast, a big problem appeared in another area.
