182, The Ten Tripods of the Kingdom, the Crisis of the Qin Dynasty
"Huhu——"
Zhou Shu sat up suddenly, gasping for breath like a drowning man who had just breathed fresh air.
Lu Wenshuang also opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Shu in surprise.
At this moment, the white light on Zhou Shu's body has disappeared, replaced by a cyclone visible to the naked eye.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was rushing towards his body crazily.
His cultivation level has broken through!
Lu Wenshuang's ice-like expression finally changed.
After receiving the appointment as deputy envoy of the Daxia Mission, Lu Wenshuang read Zhou Shu's information.
More than half a year ago, Zhou Shu was just a weapon-casting apprentice in the Daxia Weapon-casting Division Workshop.
How much time has passed?
Half a year?
Anyway, in less than a year, he went from an ordinary person to the sixth level of martial arts?
The sixth level of martial arts has already entered the palace. You can call yourself a master anywhere.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lu Wenshuang would never have believed that a person could rise to a higher level just by sleeping!
She is known as the number one martial arts genius in the Great Xia, and her martial arts qualifications are of course unspeakable. Even for her, it took her one year and two months to go from the ninth level of martial arts to the sixth level of martial arts.
This does not include the time she spent practicing before entering the rank.
Before Zhou Shu became famous, he did not have the kind of generous conditions she had.
In other words, Zhou Shu did everything by himself from entering the sixth level of martial arts to now?
The shock in Lu Wenshuang's eyes could no longer be concealed. For the first time, she felt the malice coming from a genius.
In the past, I only felt this way when others faced her.
So, is this a genius?
"Boom——"
Zhou Shu's momentum climbed steadily, and finally broke through a node. After the momentum climbed to the peak, it began to fall back, and gradually stabilized.
His spiritual cultivation level has surprisingly reached the sixth level of martial arts.
At this time, Zhou Shu was still not finished. He was still sitting on the couch, and the aura on his body was waxing and waning.
What Lu Wenshuang couldn't see was that Zhou Shu not only had a breakthrough in his martial arts spirit, but also in his Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu and Golden Bell Shield at the same time!
Without getting any feedback from the divine weapon map, they actually made a breakthrough!
Prior to this, Zhou Shu's Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu had reached the twelfth level, and was only one step away from the thirteenth level of the perfect state.
The golden bell is similar, not far from the twelfth level of perfection.
Since the end of the war on the southern battlefield of Daxia, the number of kills caused by the Tiger Bend Saber and the Zhanma Saber has been very few.
I will give myself some feedback on my cultivation after a long time.
Zhou Shu originally thought that it would take a long time for the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu and the Golden Bell Cover to be perfected.
Unexpectedly, just by using Zhuang Zhou’s Mengdie Mind Technique to enter a dream once, these two techniques would reach perfection at the same time!
This is the real surprise!
When he used Shi Songtao to conduct experiments before, Zhou Shu already understood that what he brought back from the dream was only experience. He could not bring back his cultivation level, nor could he bring back the previous memories of the dream object.
He entered Shi Songtao's dream and recalled Shi Songtao's experiences in the past year. After waking up from the dream, all he remembered was the information Shi Songtao had come into contact with during the year. He could not remember the information about Shi Songtao's childhood.
The same thing happened to Wang Xin in his dream this time.
He reviewed Wang Xin's experiences in the past year and relived the year as Wang Xin.
This immersive experience and the strong sense of identity isolation after waking up from the dream made Zhou Shu feel so entangled that he wanted to commit suicide.
Painful, uncomfortable!
He gasped for breath, but it took half an hour for the mental pain to ease slightly.
Two people fell asleep in succession within a short period of time, causing Zhou Shu great pain.
If it weren't for the Five Mountains True Shape Map to suppress his consciousness, his consciousness might have collapsed and become a lunatic.
Zhuang Zhou's Mengdie Mind Technique is incredibly powerful, but the sequelae are also huge.
Every time you dream, you become a different person, and it is easy to lose yourself.
In the end, I didn’t even know who I was.
"Within a short period of time, I will definitely not be able to use Zhuang Zhou's Mengdie Heart Technique again!"
Zhou Shu felt that if he used Zhuang Zhou's Mengdie Mentality again in the near future, he might really go crazy!
It may be better to wait until your own visualization of the Five Mountains True Shape Diagram has been further improved and your spirit is more condensed before you can use it.
Zhou Shu slowly opened his eyes and did not get up directly. Instead, he sat on the bed and pondered.
As for Lu Wenshuang not far away, Zhou Shu simply chose to ignore it.
"The last time I fell into a dream, there was no change in my cultivation. That can only mean that Shi Songtao stretched his crotch too much."
Zhou Shu cursed in his heart, they are both geniuses, but the gap is not as big as usual.
In fact, saying that Shi Songtao stretched his hips is a bit bullying.
Shi Songtao is usually very diligent.
During this year, he almost never stopped practicing the art of forging weapons for a day.
It's just that Zhou Shu's own weapon-making skills were too strong, so he didn't gain much from it.
But Wang Xin is different.
This Wang Xin is the grandson of General Wang Mu of the Qin Dynasty, and he is also a famous young general of the Qin Dynasty.
In the past year, he spent almost half of his time fighting monsters!
This was a very novel experience for Zhou Shu.
Speaking of which, although Zhou Shu's cultivation level is high, his combat experience is actually not that rich.
Except for the Xuanhuang Jade Book, the rest of the exercises Zhou Shu practiced came directly from the Atlas of Divine Weapons.
It is not an exaggeration to say that debut is the peak.
Although he has no problem mastering the techniques, he doesn't have much personal combat experience.
This time Wang Xin entered the dream, he was fighting monsters almost every day, and his combat experience skyrocketed.
The combat experience, in turn, gave him a deeper understanding of martial arts practice.
This kind of epiphany-like experience led to his successive breakthroughs after waking up from the dream.
In the final analysis, whether it is Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu or Golden Bell Shield, all that is left is the final kick. After enlightenment, breakthrough is a matter of course.
This Wang Xin is completely opposite to Shi Songtao. Shi Songtao is a diligent guy, but almost all women are unhappy with him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But Wang Xin is a martial arts fanatic. This year, in addition to practicing slaying demons, he also leads the army to slay demons. He is not a womanizer at all, and is more of a monk than a monk!
In a word, you are either fighting or on the way to fight.
There is a reason why Great Qin is so tyrannical. In Wang Xin’s dream, many of the Great Qin soldiers Zhou Shu saw were like Wang Xin.
"The breakthrough in cultivation is just an unexpected blessing. The greatest value of Wang Xin is not his combat experience, but the information he possesses!"
The improvement in strength is naturally something to be happy about, but what makes Zhou Shu even more happy is that when he transformed into Wang Xin, he finally came into contact with some secrets belonging to this world!
In Daxia, although Zhou Shu was already honored as a Marquis, his background was too shallow after all, and he had only been a Marquis for a short time, so he had not yet been exposed to many things.
Even Meng Bai kept it secretive and didn't tell him too much about the martial arts performance of the Ten Kingdoms.
Wang Xin is different. He is the grandson of General Wang Mu of the Qin Dynasty, and he was cultivated as his successor.
He is naturally qualified to have access to these secrets.
In the year when he transformed into Wang Xin in his dream, Zhou Shu personally participated in several high-level meetings of Great Qin.
It was also from here that he got a glimpse of the truth of the world!
"No wonder the ten countries are all competing for the right to host the military exercises of the ten countries."
Zhou Shu murmured to himself, "In addition to other reasons, wherever the Ten Kingdoms martial arts performance is held, the vitality of heaven and earth will be several times stronger than other places in the next ten years."
The practice of a warrior is to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body.
In a place where the vitality of heaven and earth is rich, warriors will definitely practice faster.
Which country holds the Ten-Nation Martial Arts Exercise, then in the next ten years, the vitality of heaven and earth in that country will be stronger than that of the other nine countries.
This shows that that country is more suitable for cultivation, the warriors will be stronger, and the national power will be stronger.
If one country were not allowed to be the venue for the Ten Kingdoms Military Exercise in succession, I am afraid that Great Qin would have continued to control the Ten Kingdoms Military Exercise, and in that case it would have become stronger and stronger.
"The reason why the Qin Dynasty cannot cover the sky with one hand is because the ten countries must participate in military exercises together. No country dares to break the superficial rules."
"The martial arts performance of the Ten Kingdoms requires the Ten Kingdoms to be held in order to be held, and these Ten Kingdoms can only be activated by the royal family of the Ten Kingdoms, even if other countries want to seize it."
During the year when he became Wang Xin, Zhou Shu also learned this information that ordinary people could not know at all.
The information he had heard from hearsay was totally different from the truth.
"Wang Xin is not qualified to know what exactly is going on with the Ten Cauldrons that Suppress the Country. Now he can only surmise that there is one for each of the Ten Kingdoms in the Mainland, and only the royal families of each country can activate it. If they want to eliminate the others,
Even if the country gets these ten tripods, it will be useless."
In just one year, the things that Wang Xin can experience are naturally limited, and Zhou Shu has to infer a lot of information himself.
"Before coming to Hangu Pass, Wang Xin communicated with his grandfather Wang Mu. Da Qin deliberately designed the Nine Passes this time, and there was indeed a big problem."
The light in Zhou Shu's eyes flickered.
He sat on the couch and said nothing. Lu Wenshuang stared at his face for a while, feeling a little bored, so he simply started practicing again.
"This problem is not that Great Qin wants to make things difficult for the Nine Kingdoms, but that there is something wrong with it itself!"
Zhou Shu recalled the words of Wang Mu and Wang Xin, and he already knew what was going to happen next.
Da Qin set up nine passes because——
There is something wrong with Da Qin’s Zhenguo Cauldron!
Wang Mu did not say what the specific problem was.
But he told Wang Xin that the nine levels set up by the Qin Dynasty were related to the repair of the Zhenguo tripod.
There is a problem with Zhen Guo Ding, and it is of great importance. Da Qin naturally cannot let outsiders know about it.
However, with the power of the Qin Dynasty, it was impossible to directly repair the Zhenguo Ding, so they set up nine levels to test the smiths of the other nine countries, with the purpose of finding a way to repair the Zhenguo Ding.
The setting of these nine levels is related to the restoration of the Zhenguoding.
If the weapon builders of the Nine Kingdoms can solve some problems in the process of breaking through the level, they can give inspiration to the weapon builders of Great Qin and give them a chance to repair the Guo Zhending tripod.
To put it bluntly, they divided the problems that they could not solve and set up nine levels to test the weapon-casting divisions of the other nine countries.
"Great Qin had a good idea. It asked the armorers of the Nine Kingdoms to help it solve the problem for free. It also solved the problem of the venue for the Ten Kingdoms military exercise. It killed two birds with one stone."
"However, even the great weapon forgers of the Qin Dynasty cannot repair this Zhenguoding. How effective can they be if they test a group of weapon forgers?"
Zhou Shu complained in his heart.
There may be other problems here, but Wang Xin has not experienced them, so Zhou Shu doesn’t know about them now.
"There is something wrong with Da Qin's Guo Zhen Ding."
Zhou Shu secretly thought that the ten tripods for holding the country were related to whether the martial arts performance of the Ten Kingdoms could be held normally. If there was a problem with the tripod for holding the country in Da Qin, the martial arts performance of the Ten Kingdoms would be in trouble.
This is definitely an earth-shattering event.
If the other nine countries knew about it, they would probably attack the Qin people.
"Should we tell Meng Bai?"
Zhou Shu hesitated for a moment, but rejected the idea directly in his mind.
If we really tell this matter, it might lead to a world war.
"Are the ten tripods that govern the country also weapons?"
Zhou Shu thought in his mind, "What kind of weapons are they? The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the place where the Ten Kingdoms Martial Arts Exercise is held will become rich. Is it also related to them?"
Zhou Shu doesn't care much about the general situation of the country. His interest lies in weapons.
The Ten Tripods of Zhenguo are very interesting to listen to.
I don’t know what grade of weapons they are.
Zhou Shu had the urge to take them into his hands and study them.
He thought that when he was in Youzhou before, that strange mirror had made the content on the previous page of the Divine Weapon Map shine brightly.
"Artifact..."
Are the ten tripods that govern the country also a divine weapon above the heavenly level?
Except for the time in Youzhou, Zhou Shu had never heard of the existence of the artifact from anyone else.
Not to mention divine weapons, even heavenly weapons are very rare among the ten countries in the mainland.
As far as Zhou Shu saw, only some first-level martial arts masters had heaven-level weapons in their hands.
Most of the second- and third-level martial arts experts only use earth-level weapons.
The artifact seems a bit far away from the warriors of the Ten Kingdoms.
"The ten tripods that govern the country are kept secret by the royal families of the ten countries. If there hadn't been something wrong with the tripod that held the country in Da Qin, even Wang Xin might not have known about their existence."
Zhou Shu murmured to himself, "Under normal circumstances, it is definitely impossible to study them. Even if Emperor Yuan Feng is a good man, he will not give me this opportunity."
"But now is a good opportunity. If I can show something in this level-breaking game, Daqin might ask me to help repair their Zhenguo tripod."
"Isn't this an opportunity to get in touch with Zhenguo Ding in an honest way?"
"Despite this, we still have to be prepared to kill people and silence them during the Qin Dynasty, which is a bit troublesome."
Zhou Shu said to himself, "But it's not impossible to solve it. If you have a chance to touch the artifact, it's worth taking some risks."
Zhou Shu made up his mind, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.
"In that case, let's have fun! Let Da Qin see how miracles happen!"
