Sitting cross-legged, Gu Xing could breathe in spiritual energy from thousands of miles away. The spiritual energy floating between heaven and earth was strongly summoned and poured in the direction of the capital.
Spiritual energy pours in.
The secret shakes.
Time passes slowly.
After an unknown amount of time, the incoming spiritual energy weakened somewhat, and Gu Xing's body suddenly shook. A powerful aura emanated from him, shaking the entire secret room.
"boom--"
The spiritual energy dissipated.
Gu Xing opened his eyes, with a calm expression on his majestic face.
"The cave is at the third level!"
After decades of hard training, he finally succeeded in breaking through from the first level of Cave Heaven to the third level of Cave Heaven.
to this end.
Gu Xing deeply felt how difficult it was to practice the immortal way.
Even if he had the luck of the human royal court and the resource supply of the entire human race, he could only reach the third level of the cave.
Without the help of these resources, whether one can enter the second level of Cave Heaven is now a question.
to this end.
Gu Xing was also emotional.
"It is difficult to practice the Immortal Way of the Cave Heaven, but Shen Zhenshou was able to reach the point of opening up the Cave Heaven in just a few decades. Now I wonder if he has broken the boundaries of the Cave Heaven and entered a higher level!"
The path to immortality is difficult to cultivate!
Gu Xing was also amazed that Shen Changqing could reach such a level of cultivation in decades.
Such speed.
It can no longer be explained by simple talent and chance.
Later.
Gu Xing continued to close his eyes, summoning the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to consolidate his third-level realm of cave and heaven.
…
Within the capital.
The spiritual energy gathered again.
Today's capital is the center of the imperial court, and there are too many powerful people here.
Whenever these powerful people practice, they will draw a large amount of spiritual energy to gather in the capital. The little spiritual energy that escapes during this period is a tonic for others.
to this end.
Many people flocked to the capital, hoping to find a place to live here.
Inside the Demon Suppression Division.
Lu Yuan, who had already become the master of the Demon Sealing Pavilion, now frowned and listened to the reports from his subordinates.
After a long time.
He interrupted everyone and said slowly: "The Tianshu Formation will be maintained as usual. If someone appears in the formation, immediately activate the formation to attack without hesitation.
In addition, you should rush to other places to test the moving formations in each place to prevent any mistakes."
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, all the elders bowed and retreated.
Lu Yuan looked at the empty Demon Sealing Pavilion and couldn't help but rub his eyebrows with his hands, feeling a little tired.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for too long!"
In recent years, there have been changes in formations in various places.
Lu Yuan guessed.
It is very possible that the Zhongxuan world is restless and wants to take action against the Imperial Court again.
When Shen Changqing entered the Zhongxuan Realm and shocked the five sects and twelve palaces, forcing the other party to sign a peace treaty, logically speaking, there should be no further actions in the Zhongxuan Realm.
However.
This is the most troublesome thing.
Under the threat of Shen Changqing, Zhongxuanjie still had the confidence to take action against the imperial court, which meant that Zhongxuanjie must have some powerful back-up force.
In the face of such back-up tactics, we have the confidence to take action against the imperial court.
But now there is another problem.
That is, Shen Changqing is not in the imperial court. If the Zhongxuan Realm really wants to fight, no strong person in the imperial court can stop it.
At the moment, all Lu Yuan can do is to continuously improve the Tianshu Formation in an attempt to increase the power of this formation to a higher level.
Unfortunately.
The formation of Tianshu is extremely mysterious.
To be able to threaten the God King of Rules now is Lu Yuan's current limit.
With his formation skills, it is simply impossible to further improve the Tianshu formation.
"This matter must be reported to His Majesty!"
…
Inside the palace secret room.
Gu Xing looked at the people in front of him and said calmly: "Pavilion Master Lu is not in the Demon Sealing Pavilion today, why do you have time to come here?"
"There are some changes in the formations at the nine entrances to the Zhongxuan Realm. I am afraid that there will be some movement in the Twelve Palaces of the Five Sects, so I came here to report to Your Majesty."
Lu Yuan had no intention of hiding anything.
In fact.
Lu Yuan always reported any changes to the formation in the past few years to the imperial court.
After all, this kind of thing is not something that the Demon-Sealing Pavilion can handle, not even the entire Demon-Suppressing Division can handle it.
Gu Xing frowned slightly when he heard the words Zhongxuanjie.
"The five sects and the Twelve Palaces are still determined to annex the imperial court. In the past, when the evil spirits invaded, they did not come forward. Now that our imperial court has eliminated the evil spirits and reorganized the world, they have come out to harvest the fruits.
This approach is a bit too taken for granted!”
Gu Xing also had a strong murderous intention in his heart regarding the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces.
When the demons caused trouble, so many human races died tragically, but not even a single strong person from the five sects and twelve palaces came forward.
To know.
With the strength of the Five Sects and the Twelve Palaces, if they really want to take action, it will not be a problem to deal with the evil clan.
However.
Five sects and twelve sects were unmoved.
Gu Xing used to be the prince of the Qin Dynasty, so he didn't see too many scenes where evil spirits caused trouble.
Therefore.
He has always been dissatisfied with the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces.
If the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces stay peacefully in the Zhongxuan Realm, Gu Xing doesn't want to cause trouble for them.
But the problem now is that the five sects and twelve palaces are unwilling to be left alone, so the imperial court must also take action to deal with it.
"The emperor will mobilize one hundred thousand imperial guards to guard the Tianshu Formation and the other nine entrances and exits. In addition, he will mobilize the four major armies to assist the imperial guards in guarding.
If there is any abnormal movement in the Zhongxuan Realm, it will be suppressed with the force of thunder!"
Gu Xing said coldly.
Lu Yuan's body trembled, he clasped his fists and said, "I obey your Majesty's order!"
Imperial Guards!
The four great armies!
This is a new force cultivated by the imperial court over the years.
In today's era when the ancestral lineage is revived and the inheritance of immortality is widely spread, powerful men in the imperial court are springing up like bamboo shoots after the rain.
Masters who were rare a hundred years ago are now everywhere.
Just like a guard.
In fact, it is an army composed of one hundred thousand heavenly beings.
God!
In the past, it was a powerful person who could rival high-level demons, or even great demons. Looking at the entire human race, the number of existences that could rival heavenly beings can be counted on one hand.
But things are different now.
One hundred thousand imperial guards are all heavenly beings, this is the foundation of the imperial court.
A hundred years ago, this would have been unthinkable.
If there could be one hundred thousand heavenly beings at that time, which would be enough to sweep away all evil spirits, any great demon or demon saint would be nothing but a chicken and a dog in front of the one hundred thousand heavenly beings.
Not only that.
The four major armies are all Grand Masters, with a total of 10 million Grand Masters.
One hundred thousand heavenly beings!
Ten million great masters!
The imperial court's foundation has grown so powerful without even realizing it.
Lu Yuan believed that if the imperial court was given another hundred years, not to mention one hundred thousand heavenly beings, even one hundred thousand immortal golden bodies would appear.
But now, there are still not many top experts in the imperial court.
Looking at the entire imperial court, the number of powerful people with immortal golden bodies and above one hundred thousand celestial beings has to be greatly reduced. A thousand immortal golden bodies is the limit.
The realm of cave heaven and above the immortal golden body is even more pitiful and rare.
Today, there are less than a hundred recorded experts in the cave.
It can be seen how lacking the imperial court is when it comes to top experts.
Lu Yuan has some understanding of the strength of the Five Sects and the Twelve Palaces. There are so many powerful people there, including hundreds of thousands of heavenly beings and ten million great masters. They may not be able to conquer the Zhongxuan Realm.
But for now, the imperial court has no other option.
"Shen Zhen is guarding over there. Your Majesty, would you like to inform me?"
Lu Yuan asked.
Gu Xing shook his head: "The situation is not yet at the point where Shen Zhenshou needs to step forward."
After all, the Imperial Court is the Imperial Court of the entire human race and cannot always rely on one person.
Necessary growth is still necessary.
otherwise.
What can the imperial court do if it is supported by one person?
When Lu Yuan heard this, he nodded, said a few more words, then turned and left.
…
Before the Tianshu Formation, Lu Yuan came in person.
This place was originally Xiaoqiu Mountain, the place where natural disasters were born. Later, Mo Zijin took Jincheng away, and the place was completely taken over by the imperial court.
now.
There are 100,000 celestial guards and 20,000 people are stationed here.
The four major armies were stationed with a total of two million people.
With so many troops stationed, the momentum alone can stir up the situation.
Beside Lu Yuan, there was a graceful woman standing there.
"I haven't seen you for many years, but the imperial court's strength has improved a lot. There are 20,000 heavenly beings and two million great masters..."
The woman looked at the army around her with surprise on her pretty face.
"Senior Qiu Shui is sitting in charge of the Tianshu Formation, have you noticed anything strange?"
Lu Yuan shook his head and did not say more about the imperial guards and the four major armies. Instead, he asked the question he was most concerned about.
Although he has become a heavenly being, he is no longer the extreme monk he was before.
But the autumn water in front of him is the treasure left by Shen Changqing back then. The seventh-grade Taoist soldier is equivalent to a god king.
In addition, the other party has existed for an unknown number of years, and Lu Yuan is just a junior in front of him.
So whenever he saw Qiu Shui, Lu Yuan would have great respect.
Hear the words.
Qiu Shui's pretty face was slightly solemn, and she said solemnly: "There is no big movement in the Tianshu formation, but when it is connected with other formations, I can detect some subtle auras.
I'm afraid there is something unusual happening on the other side of the Zhongxuan Realm. Back then, Your Majesty defeated the powerful men of the Five Sects and Twelve Palaces. They didn't know the circumstances of Your Majesty's departure, so they shouldn't dare to act rashly.
If we take action at this moment, I think there are other backup plans."
"What Senior Qiu Shui said is exactly what I am worried about."
Lu Yuan also nodded with deep sympathy.
What he is most worried about now is what kind of back-up force the Zhongxuan Realm has, so that he can once again attack the imperial court in a few decades.
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
Unfortunately.
The imperial court's understanding of the Zhongxuan world is still too one-sided.
Even if there are strong men from the Zhongxuan world in the human race, it is difficult for them to ask for useful things, just because in the past few decades, what unknown changes have taken place in the Zhongxuan world, these were once powerful people in the Zhongxuan world. Or, there is no possibility of understanding.
"Lord Pavilion Lu, you can rest assured. I have been recuperating over the years and have accumulated a lot of knowledge. Coupled with the Tianshu Formation, even if a regular god king appears, I will be sure to kill him with one strike."
Qiu Shui saw that the other party's face was heavy and he also expressed relief.
When Lu Yuan heard this, his expression barely relaxed a bit.
