Chapter 499: The Secret of Immortality, Rumors of the Yin Shang Dynasty
As one of the rulers of the twelve capitals in the world, Feng Yi is a third-rank imperial official. He is almost the most powerful and powerful official besides the Holy Capital.
Even the immortal overlords such as Jiang Mu, Xing Yuankui, Xu Jinghui, etc., who are the masters of the Tao, are still under his jurisdiction.
With the ban on life and death imposed by the Lord of the House, killing an Immortal God... will not be much more difficult than killing an ant.
At this moment, the restraint was activated, golden light flickered, and the word "Fist" as big as the sky was suppressed. Before it even touched Tie Tang's body, he was pressed backwards continuously, crushing countless diamonds.
"If I die here... wouldn't I be laughed to death if I spread the news?" Tie Tang tried his best to stabilize his body, open up the realm of his physical body, and push away the huge pressure brought by the surrounding soil, sand and gravel.
But the hand character at the bottom followed closely, and its head was disassembled stroke by stroke, turning into three dragons and three snakes, while the hand character below turned into a huge, flawless fist.
Pat! Pat!
Three dragons and three snakes are wrapped around the four fingers of the fist. The dragons and snakes meet and form a word "Tao" attached to the fist bones.
This punch is equivalent to Feng Yi using his own way to evolve his boxing technique.
We will not stop until we kill those who violate the ban.
Tie Tang took a deep breath, his feet were inserted into the diamond like Dinghai Divine Pillars, his left and right arms spread out, and they each made two palms with completely opposite artistic conceptions.
Once the heaven and earth were darkened, the immeasurable light reappeared.
It's like the beginning of chaos, but the grand mist has not yet been established, or like the mountains and rivers collapsing, and the end of the law is coming. The perfect blend of rebirth and destruction has turned into a great millstone of heaven and earth, shrouding the huge fist.
Boom! Boom!
A hundred feet underground shook violently, the Kunwu Sword trembled continuously, and the sword energy dispersed, making the entire Jiangdu City feel the changes here.
Feng Bingyao, who was standing on the top of the sword hilt, was worried. Before she could check the specific situation...
Whoosh!
A blood shadow burst out of the ground, bringing out the dust, as if returning from the Nine Netherworld.
Tie Tang's clothes were ragged, his arms were missing, and there were wounds of all sizes all over his body. His whole figure looked like it had been hammered hundreds or thousands of times with a giant hammer, turning it into a hundred-forged steel.
"Injured so seriously?" Feng Bingyao flew down and was shocked to see.
Goulong!
A sweet smell surged up in Tie Tang's throat, but he suppressed it again: "I just want to ask you... your father is so strong, why did he give birth to you so late?"
"???"
Feng Bingyao hasn't reacted yet, and she doesn't know why he asked this question.
"How old is the master of the palace?"
"I don't know the exact age, but he must be quite young. One year, I held a banquet and wished him a long life, but my mother scolded him."
"These old guys...can't be underestimated." Tie Tang activated his vast vitality, grew his arms again, and subconsciously rubbed his chest.
Feng Yi's true strength can no longer be described as terrifying. The feeling given to him is almost the same as that of the Human Emperor, the Great Lord King, and Han Ba.
They are all so powerful that they can kill him with just a thought.
That moment just now.
He really felt the crisis of life and death.
Because the restrictions set up by Feng Yi were to prevent others from approaching and to protect his own safety, but they did not leave much room to spare.
The great millstone of heaven and earth evolved from the Yuanshi Devil Palm and Yuanshi Dao Palm cannot completely annihilate the power of Feng Yi Dao Fist.
If Tie Tang hadn't penetrated all the acupoints around his body, built a flawless and perfect body, and controlled many magical methods in the world, he would have died just now.
Under the punch, everything is invincible.
No matter what identity, name, qualifications, immortals or gods, they are all useless, they can’t stop the fist of the great road.
The confrontation with such a real overlord of the world also made Tie Tang's arrogance when he first became an immortal god restrained somewhat.
"The palace master's strength...should have surpassed that of the master, right? Is he a God Emperor or an Immortal Emperor? Or higher?"
Feng Bingyao frowned and said: "My father rarely talks about his own realm and cultivation. When he was a child, he told me that he was an immortal. When we grew up, we talked a few times, but we only talked about the master.
Whenever he talks about higher realms... he avoids talking about it, and so does my master.
I always thought that my father was also the master of Taoism!"
Tie Tang shook his head repeatedly: "Unless the master of the Tao has some other realm, judging from the strength of the palace master... it should be beyond this realm.
He is really too strong, he almost beat me to death just now, beat me to death... What is this concept?"
Feng Bingyao looked cold and did not respond to his boast.
In the dense forest in the distance, three beasts and one dragon were sitting on the treetops watching. The big Pixiu grinned and said: "Tie Tang is bragging again. Why didn't he be killed just by the ban?"
Er Pixiu also slapped the trunk of the tree, causing a leaf to fall: "A young man like him, who has just entered the realm of immortality, was no different from a child in ancient times.
Who would be proud of beating a child to death, right? You can brag about it, he really deserves it."
"Big brother, second brother, you guys are so loud, don't talk here, go and talk to my brother face to face." Zhen Guandong started to fight.
The little Pixiu puffed out his mouth and said in a sweet voice: "The third brother is right, I am a child. You are not allowed to say that the child is not good. If you have the guts to tell him face to face."
Big Pixiu and Second Pixiu suddenly stopped and turned their heads to look at their two younger brothers with evil intentions.
"What? You two are cheating? We are in the same group!"
"I can't cure Tie Tang, and I can't cure you two, right? Stop leaving!"
……
The next day.
After dawn, Tie Tang also repaired 90% of his injuries.
Feng Yi obviously did not dare to break into the retreat place again. It was no different than seeking death. His injuries would have to fall to the Holy Capital, or he would have to rely on himself.
Tie Tang released the millions of Qingshui people in his body and sent them to live in Yanxia Cave without consuming the resources of Jiangdu City.
Everyone gathered together, waiting for his next arrangement.
"If Miss Feng and I go to the Holy Capital, no one will be able to enter or exit this place. Although safety is guaranteed to a certain extent, it is still a place of death.
No matter what changes happen outside, it will be difficult for you to cope with it. You must appease the minds of others."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Li Qingwan, Lu Zhengqing, He Changsheng and other officials came out one after another to reassure Tie Tang that other people would be resettled according to past governance.
Today's government offices are 99% staffed by Qingshui County personnel, with only a very small number of Feng Bingyao's servants, relatives and others.
These people are also surrounded by various forces, going around in circles.
For example, the Lu family, where Lu Zhengqing belongs, is a force in itself. When facing others, it can combine with other aristocratic families in Qingshui City to form a new circle of influence.
Qingshui City's original government system, with the exception of Qiu Zhengyang, the supervisory hall, is basically intact, including a large number of sergeants here, who are obviously the largest force.
But the one with truly superior strength... is not the Lu family, nor the government, but the Chixiao White Crane clan.
They have a large number of immortals. Although they don’t have Tao masters, they also have many Immortal realms and Hedao realms, and their cultivation strength is absolutely crushing.
It's just that they are latecomers, their influence is not enough, and they are monsters themselves, so it is difficult for them to expand their power, and they can only rely on force to maintain it within a certain range.
After some thought, Tie Tang decided to let Feng Chengdao stay as the key to balancing all forces.
Going to the Holy Capital was full of dangers. He himself could not guarantee absolute safety, and naturally he did not intend to bring other people with him.
The original plan was for the two of them to go on the road, but Ying Roujin kept begging, hoping that Tie Tang could take her with him.
Thinking of Yuan Jiangxue's entrustment, there was no difference between leaving her here and leaving her in Chaoxicheng, so Tie Tang took her and left with Huai Yurong, Long Yu, and Li Yao.
The four, or rather the six, are actually of the same age and are prodigies of the same generation, but their cultivation abilities vary.
After ten years of hard training, Long Yu has reached the peak of the Ancient Witch Realm, and there is only one opportunity left to break through to the Zhu Wu Realm.
His Hidden Dragon Thousand Illusion Body has been masterfully cultivated. He can be as big or small as he wants, and can transform as he pleases, and his ability to travel through various restrictions, barriers, formations, and sneak into hiding is extremely powerful.
Li Yao also entered the ancient shaman realm a year ago. His qualifications are not as good as Long Yu's. The golden body he cultivated is called the 'Red Flame Qilin Body', and his strength is considered high among the ninth ranks.
However, Tie Tang knows that under the 108th highest level of talent, the talents of the 7th, 88th and 9th levels all have flaws.
A golden body like Li Yao cannot exert its maximum power without the help of the Qilin clan, just like Ying Roujin's five-element golden body without the five-element emperor soul.
In addition to these four people, there are also some people who want to follow Tie Tang.
For example, in the towns of Guandong, South, and Northwest, the four brothers shouted to heaven and earth, clamoring to go out together to be free, but Tie Tang turned a deaf ear.
Before leaving.
In order to appease people's hearts, Tie Tang came up with a big killer weapon.
He taught the beginning of his orthodoxy to everyone and spread them to everyone here.
This move does work wonders.
Even the four beasts in Guandong stopped arguing, and they only focused on studying the Tie Tang method, hoping to enter the path of future Dharma in advance.
"If any of you can successfully enlighten to the Tao, but you have something unclear when you turn to spiritual practice, you can ask Enlightenment and he will help me to clarify your doubts."
After a farewell banquet, Tie Tang and Feng Bingyao left the mansion, while Ying Roujin and the other four stood between his eyebrows.
He first contacted Xing Yuankui, and then found Fang Yutang and a group of officials, representatives of aristocratic families and others who stood by him that day.
At the banquet.
Tie Tang appeased everyone, wrote down the names and origins of all the personnel, and asked them to hold on for a while longer, waiting for his return from the Holy Capital.
Everyone is okay with it, but they are still worried about his situation after he leaves.
Once Tie Tang leaves, the Yu family and others will most likely start liquidation.
By then, people like them will not have their interests harmed.
There is no way around it, but Tie Tang cannot leave. He stays in Jiangdu City, which means he can barely compete with the forces of the Yu family. As time goes by, new changes may occur.
So Tie Tang pondered for a moment and then asked: "Master Fang, where is Jiang Mu coming from? Is it possible to win him over?
Or...at least let him return to a neutral position?"
Jiang Mu is the Prime Minister of Jiangdu and the second-in-command in Jiangdu. If he does not fall to the Yu family and cooperates with the third-in-command Xing Yuankui, no matter how powerful the Yu family is, there will definitely be no problem in suppressing one or two.
After all, the imperial court is now only in chaos, not disintegrated. The power of the government can still be controlled, and it has not reached the point of complete disintegration.
Naturally, every official with great power still maintains great influence.
However, Tie Tang's proposal was completely rejected by Fang Yutang.
He shook his head decisively: "There is no possibility at all. Governor Tie doesn't need to think about it. Jiang Mu will definitely side with the Yu family. It is impossible to rebel, and it is impossible to even sit on the fence."
"Why is this? He is the second-in-command in the palace. At this time, the master of the palace is in seclusion and has the power. Why should he look at the Yu family's face?
Does he have any leverage that the Yu family holds?"
Tie Tang did not expect that Jiang Mu would surrender so completely. Not only did he have overwhelming power, but his strength was also at the level of an immortal overlord. It can be said that the world is so big that he can go anywhere.
No matter how powerful the Yu family is, can they still control the minds of people like this?
It’s hard to imagine.
"To say it's a handle... that's a bit too much. Does Governor Tie know... Why are we and other aristocratic families able to recruit powerful people from all over the world so that they won't have any rebellious intentions?"
Fang Yutang asked a question instead.
Tie Tang thought deeply and said slowly: "It is because of your strong financial resources and unique vision that you have won their hearts and minds in advance.
Even if your Fang family becomes my enemy in the future, I will not go too far for the sake of Brother Fang, Tianpeng Formation Master and others."
Fang Yutang laughed: "This is indeed one of the reasons, but it is not all, and it is not the key.
Think about it...the people under your command, including your apprentice and others.
Can you guarantee that no matter what happens in the future, they will not betray you and join the enemy?
Everyone?
Is it possible?"
Tie Tang frowned slightly. He wanted to say he was sure, but his reason told him that this was not realistic.
Maybe Feng Chengdao, Tielong, Tiehu, Tieniu, Zhen Guandong and others can remain unchanged, but what about their descendants?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
What about other people’s descendants?
Tie Tang cannot guarantee that.
There are always some extremely difficult choices in the world, which will make people make some incredible decisions.
He can't guarantee everything.
Fang Yutang looked at Tie Tang's frowning brows and slowly explained: "The power of friendship and friendship cannot survive more than three generations, and even after one generation, the next generation will immediately split.
Even within our own family, there may be many struggles, let alone those with foreign surnames.
This road will not work, and history has already told us the answer.
Even for a person as amazing and talented as you, Governor Iron, once you die, how long can you remember your relatives and friends from the past?
After they die, will their descendants and your descendants still be able to live in peace and maintain the current situation?
You don’t need to think about it to know that this is impossible.
The reason why aristocratic families like the Yu Family have been able to continue to prosper and grow does not rely on simple interests or simple favors.
The most important means...
It’s the mark of immortality!
Sheriff Iron should understand now."
Immortal Mark...
Fang Yutang's words completely awakened Tie Tang.
"What the Fang family leader means... is that Jiang Mu's mark of immortality... is imprinted on the area controlled by the Yu family?"
"Not bad!"
"If someone above the level of an immortal or a god wants to take refuge in a person or a force, in addition to various means of showing loyalty...
The most important method is to imprint the mark of immortality into the void that is absolutely controlled by that person and that force.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with this.
Governor Iron should not think that this is a threatening method. If this is the case, this method will not be passed down and it will not be able to recruit real talents.
In fact.
Like the Yu family, and our Fang family, areas with the Immortal Mark can almost be said to be absolutely safe and the most stable place in the world.
Unless we are destroyed, that area cannot be captured.
How many places like this...are there on earth?
If I guess correctly.
Sheriff Iron has just become an immortal, so he probably hasn't yet been imprinted with the Immortal Mark. Is it difficult for you to find a satisfactory place to imprint the Immortal Immortal Mark?"
"I see..." Tie Tang completely understood the operation of forces above immortals and gods.
As Fang Yutang said, he has not been able to find a relatively satisfactory place so far.
An immortal god may have many trump cards, but no matter how you calculate it... the Immortal Mark is always the biggest one.
If the area where the Immortal Mark is branded is absolutely safe, it can even block other people's methods of erasing the mark through air...
That means you have one more immortal trump card!
Although rebirth from the Immortal Mark is very troublesome, depending on personal strength, qualifications, and resources, it may take hundreds or thousands of years for someone to be resurrected.
But isn’t that also a hope?
And if you find a random place to imprint the mark of immortality, then when someone finds it, it will be like being pinched by the throat.
Once the true body falls and the mark of immortality is erased, you are completely dead, without any chance of coming back.
Xing Yuankui said calmly: "This is not bad. Jiang Mu's mark of immortality is imprinted on the secret place of the Yu family. It is impossible for him to rebel. He will only follow the actions of the Yu family from beginning to end."
"Are others like this?"
Fang Yutang nodded: "Most of them are like this, at least the real core of the Yu family, 99% of them are like this. It is also impossible to instigate them to rebel.
Imprinting the mark of immortality on the top-secret place we have developed can resist most of the methods in the world that can kill the mark of immortality from a distance.
There are also powerful overlords guarding it, and it is almost impossible to erase the Immortal Mark there without them."
Tie Tang nodded silently and thought to himself: "It turns out that this is the main reason why the family can truly grow and survive forever.
As long as that area is not captured, the immortals and gods will be able to be reborn, which is equivalent to endless power, and the influence of the family will become greater and greater.
It seems like...
Including Taiyi Temple, Daleiyin Temple, and Shi Wuyan Temple, this should also be the case. No wonder they can remain prosperous."
But thinking of this, Tie Tang had a new question.
"The imperial court...didn't it require officials to bear the mark of immortality?"
This is a very sensitive issue, and you can see a slight change in the expressions of everyone present.
In the end, it was Xing Yuankui who answered Tie Tang’s question.
"I can't fathom the Human Emperor's magnanimity. He has never asked anyone to be imprinted with the Immortal Mark. Maybe he doesn't care about other people's rebellion and is unwilling to use this method to win over people's hearts.
But I heard...it's just some rumors, don't take it seriously.
There have been rumors in the Holy City... some princes, some officials of the third rank and above, even the Prime Minister of the Left and Right, Duke Wu and Mu, first-rank officials, etc.
Their mark of immortality is imprinted on the palace of Yin and Shang!
The Palace of Yin and Shang was the living quarters of the human emperor, and it was a forbidden area among forbidden areas. No one could enter alone.
If the Human Emperor is still here...
That is the safest place in the world.
But after all, this is just a rumor. No one has ever talked about this kind of thing face to face. After all, the people involved... have such huge backgrounds. Who dares to verify it?"
Tie Tang thought of many things in an instant.
"No wonder the Human Emperor has not been born for hundreds of years, and no one dares to enter the Yin Shang Palace without permission. In the end, I was elected to enter.
It turns out that there is another reason for this.
If the rumors are true...
The Yin Shang Palace is a forbidden place for many immortal gods and overlords. It is impossible for anyone to enter alone, or even in groups of two or three.
Once someone has this idea, they will immediately be attacked by a group of people."
Compared with the secret areas of the Yu family, Fang family and others, the Yin Shang Palace in the Holy Capital is a forbidden area on the table.
Although it is placed in the open, so what?
Who dares and who can go to the living place of the Human Emperor and erase those immortal marks under the watchful eyes of many immortal gods and overlords?
This matter will not be much easier than capturing the fairy court and the underworld.
Even though the Human Emperor is no longer alive, the Yin Shang Palace is still the safest place on earth.
Just...
Compared to the past, this extremely safe area has a few more gaps.
Fang Yutang said calmly: "Tiejun is here to go to the Holy Capital. If we can go to the Yin Shang Palace again, we might as well put the mark of immortality there. It will be considered safe."
"Well... I can go once, but I may not be able to go a second time. Let's talk about it."
Tie Tang waved his hand to express his thoughts to everyone and stabilize people's hearts, and then left Jiangdu City under the watchful eyes of many immortals and gods in Jiangdu, including everyone from the Yu family.
After traveling thousands of miles out of the city.
Feng Bingyao immediately asked: "Do you really want to put the mark of immortality on the Yin Shang Palace?"
"How do I go up there? Now that I am an immortal and the Human Emperor is not here, they can't possibly agree."
"You always have a way."
"Forget it, the Yin Shang Palace without the human emperor guarding it may not be an absolutely safe place."
"But you can't find a safer place."
"That's true..."
Branding the mark of immortality is the top priority of every immortal god. However, Tie Tang maintains his own strength and cannot find a place to mark the mark for the time being, so he can only delay it again and again.
"Master Feng Mansion's Immortal Mark is not in the Yin Shang Palace, right? He at least has this qualification."
"I don't know either. This is a top priority that really involves life and death. I'm afraid my father won't tell anyone."
"Indeed, I wouldn't tell anyone else."
"So... tell me, what did you see from that fragment?"
Tie Tang's question finally made Feng Bingyao's cold expression change.
She seemed to be caught in memories, and seemed to be concerned about the four people in Tie Tang Zifu's heart.
"They can't see or hear. You can tell me. I've actually gained a few new traditions. Maybe we can communicate with each other."
"How is that possible?" Feng Bingyao was a little surprised.
Creating a Taoist tradition is not the same as creating a technique. It is more than ten thousand times more difficult. As the founder of the Taoist tradition, Feng Bingyao naturally knows the difficulty.
"I've had some good encounters. Let's talk about your experiences first."
Feng Bingyao knew that Tie Tang had no need to lie to her, and her bright snow-like eyes brought back a few memories.
"I used the power of the fragments to see a person that day!"
