As soon as he went out, Shen Zhui saw a familiar figure.
This is none other than the white-haired old man in Ten Thousand Monsters who once had a close relationship with him, Tianyi.
"The Grand Master, Shen Zhui, is here to see the special envoy." Shen Zhui saluted quickly. He was not a great scholar yet and had to wait for the order document from the great concubine to come down.
"Shen Zhui, obey your orders." Tianyi shouted with a solemn expression.
"Zhongda Dafu Shen Zhui has made outstanding achievements, was both wise and brave, eradicated demons and bandits, and kept the people safe. His contribution is commendable."
"Specially promoted to Grand Master Shen Zhui, made for Daliang of Shangqiu City."
"Give Daliang three sets of crown-making robes, a pair of tiger talismans, a Pegasus chariot, a sacred talisman edict, a red phoenix pen, fifty kilograms each of coral, pearls, gold knives and coins, and six cauldrons of food... With 10,000 soldiers, you can mobilize 1,000 Royal City Imperial Guards, 50 formation masters, and 100 machine craftsmen each.
It has jurisdiction over Pingyang Pass and Zhenbeiguan, and is also given the position of 'Royal Palace Walker'."
"Shen Zhui accepts the order." Shen Zhui quickly took the order document.
"Master Shen." Tianyi's expression no longer looked solemn as before, but turned into a smiling face. "Master Shen, you must not let down the great concubine's high expectations."
"My subordinates will definitely do their best," Shen Zhuilian said. He didn't mind saying more nice words that were helpful but unnecessary.
"The demons outside the Liangjie Mountain are ready to move. The royal city must not make any mistakes. Lord Shen is now in charge of Beiguan, Pingyangguan Town. They are two important places. There must be no mistakes." Tianyi suddenly said.
"Huh?" Shen Zhui's mind started to ponder the mission again, and he keenly sensed that Tian Yi's words contained some other information.
"Sir, where is the Two Realms Mountain?"
"Congratulations to Mr. Shen on your promotion. I think you still have a lot to adapt to and learn. I won't disturb Mr. Shen." Tianyi waved his hand with a smile, pulled out a light door, and disappeared in a flash.
Shen Zhui carefully wrote down Tianyi's words, thoughtfully.
But now he doesn't think too much about it. Digesting the income is the top priority. As for thinking about the mission, he will put it aside for the time being.
The reward for becoming a great person is not without its richness.
Daliang has three sets of crown-making uniforms and a pair of tiger charms. These two have no practical use for him and are just symbols of status.
Although the Pegasus Chariot has reached the level of a fifth-level divine weapon, it is not a divine weapon, which means that he cannot take it with him in the future, and its more function is to show his status.
The Zhu Feng Bi is an amplifying auxiliary treasure that can increase the power of the True Word spell by 10%, but is ineffective against the Holy Word spell. It can be brought out of the secret realm, which has a great effect on Shen Zhui. It is immediately refined and absorbed into the body.
Fifty kilograms each of coral, pearls, and gold sword coins. This is the currency in the secret realm. Although it cannot be taken away, it will be of great use for future development. Shen Zhui ordered people to deposit it in the government arsenal.
With 10,000 troops under his command, he can mobilize 1,000 Royal City Imperial Guards, 50 formation masters, and 100 machine craftsmen each. These manpower rewards also belong to external forces. Shen Zhui has no plans to go and see them for the time being, and he won't run away anyway.
Including the extra city, Zhenbeiguan, and the palace walking duties, all of these will slowly show their effects later.
Shen Zhui set his sights on the 'Holy Text and Talisman Edict'!
This is a good thing to improve your own combat power. Even after you leave the secret realm, you can use it endlessly!
"In order to increase the power of the natal mantra, every time I was rewarded, I chose gold-type mantras to enhance the dragon-patterned golden sword."
"I don't know what kind of magical power this sacred talisman edict will add to me." Shen Zhui's eyes were fiery.
The Holy Talisman Edict is a good thing because it contains the magical power of the Holy Word. Once it is absorbed, you will directly obtain a magical power that can be used immediately without any training. Moreover, it is extremely powerful and its effects are unique in the world. This is Daxia The main attraction of the secret realm of the Academy.
For example, the magical power of the Holy Word of Medicine [Resurrection from the Dead] possesses miraculous power that Shen Zhui cannot understand at all.
"Daliang Zao, who worked hard on tasks and climbed all the way to level 16, finally received a Holy Word Talisman Edict." Shen Zhui lamented.
In fact, this is because Shen Zhui was lucky. For a large-scale mission like Pingyang Pass, the reward fell entirely on him alone. This was supposed to be a large mission jointly performed by many adventurers. After the rewards were shared equally, he would not receive the Holy Word at all. Fu Zhao.
Swish~ Shen Zhui flashed and returned to the palace. He chose a secret room and began to absorb the Holy Word Talisman.
Nowadays, Pingyang Pass is managed like an iron barrel by Shen Zhui and is guarded by many soldiers. There is no need to worry about who will destroy it. He can boldly absorb it.
"Wow~" The golden holy page spread out in mid-air, and a pattern appeared on the holy page with many words on it.
Shen Zhui observed this strange pattern, and his mind was in chaos. He didn't recognize these words at all. Even with his level, he couldn't understand the meaning of this pattern. It seemed to be more advanced than the sacred words of medicine he had absorbed.
But it doesn't matter, Shen Zhui doesn't need to understand it, he only needs to absorb this power. This kind of talisman is specially prepared for adventurers who are not from Daxia Academy.
"Buzz~" The pattern rotated and floated out from the holy page, and a golden halo of light continued to deform and twist in mid-air, and then penetrated into Shen Zhui's body.
Shen Zhui felt that his body and soul fell into a mysterious and mysterious state, as if he had touched the origin of the avenue, and all the trajectories around him became perfect.
The space is constantly changing, and countless shadows appear and disappear over the mansion...
After a long time, all the strange phenomena around him disappeared, and Shen Zhui opened his eyes.
"A one-time magical power of the Holy Word, the golden cicada escapes from its shell?"
"Is this thing disposable?" Shen Zhui was stunned.
In his mind, he could already see the name of the Holy Word.
But he was a little confused.
Because what he obtained this time was a one-time divine power called [Golden Cicada Escapes].
However, when Shen Zhui gradually understood the effect, he was shocked and couldn't help but get excited!
"[Golden Cicada Escapes]: A one-time magical power, using the soul as a pen, to imprint the target's true name on a holy page with a level no lower than the Venerable level."
"When the owner of the golden cicada is attacked and dies, he can be resurrected from the branded holy page!"
"Resurrection will resurrect both the soul and the physical body, and will only maintain the level of cultivation at the time of the branding, the treasure storage ring, etc. will all disappear. The secret method of heaven-defying amplification, the ultimate golden body, and the special physique cannot be restored."
"This holy word magical power can only be used by those below the level of the venerable. If you are above the level of the venerable, you cannot cast the brand on the holy page."
"The golden cicada escapes from its shell and only has one chance to use it. It cannot be used actively and can only be triggered passively."
"After triggering, a scene exactly like a real death will be created on the spot, including corpses, storage rings, the collapse of the cave world, etc."
"This magical power of the Holy Word can only be broken by the top true gods who study the path of time and space. Apart from that, no attack can block resurrection. If the holy page with the brand is destroyed, the magical power of the Holy Word will not work, but it will not It will affect the body."
"This, this, this..." Shen Zhui's face turned red and he was ecstatic.
"It's so worth it!" This was the only thought in his mind.
For example, if Shen Zhui now owns a holy page, uses the magical power of the holy word, and then keeps it in a safe place.
If the deity dies one day, he will immediately be resurrected in the place where the holy page is saved, and return to the third level of supernatural power.
Having this golden cicada sheds its shell is equivalent to having a second life!
Moreover, it is extremely concealable and will create a scene exactly like real death at the place of death.
The point is, this magical power of the Holy Word cannot be broken except by the top true gods who study time and space!
This also means that even if the true god takes action, there is no way to stop the resurrection.
"This magical power of the Holy Word can not only be used on oneself, but also effective on others." Shen Zhui was filled with excitement.
Although it was only a one-time use, this magical power of the Holy Word far exceeded his expectations.
"Huh~" Shen Zhui took a deep breath and suppressed the impulse in his heart.
Now he doesn't meet the conditions for it to be used.
Because he does not have a Venerable-level holy page, he needs to buy it from a special place.
Secondly, it is not suitable to use it in this secret realm because he has no way to confirm where it is safe.
If it is used now and something unexpected happens and the holy page is destroyed, it will be like a wasted opportunity.
"This one-time divine power of the Holy Word still has some flaws." Shen Zhui pondered in his mind.
First of all, it can only resurrect the soul and body, and will not bring back those external objects at the same time.
In other words, once he dies, all the treasures such as the Yinglong Essence and Blood, the Blood Origin Armor, the Zen Heart of the Venerable Dou Zhan, the Ruyi Warship, the God-Destroying Cannon, etc. are all gone.
Moreover, even the golden body of the Extreme Realm will disappear.
However, although this will cause heavy losses in combat power, compared to lives, that is secondary.
"If you are above the Venerable level, you cannot be branded. This means that even if you are resurrected, it will only be at the peak of your magical power."
"However, if I am branded with the pinnacle of magical power and have an accident after breaking through the venerable master in the future, I can still be resurrected. This is not related to my cultivation level, but only limits the cultivation level at the moment when I am branded. " Shen Zhui thought to himself.
Thinking about it this way, this holy word magical power, imprinted at the peak of the magical power, can maximize the benefits. But this is just a theory. Of course, if you want to prepare to enter some dangerous place, or escape from the enemy, then of course it is not possible. Will consider what interests are not interests, life-saving is the most important thing.
"I hope I will never be useful." Shen Zhui let out a long breath and stood up immediately.
Once the golden cicada's magic power of escaping is used, whether the target is himself or someone else, it will be an unbearable blow for Shen Zhui.
"This Daxia Academy is really unfathomable." Shen Zhui glanced at the sky.
The more Shen Zhui learns about Daxia Academy, the more she can feel the power of Daxia Academy.
No wonder a peerless genius like Master Buried Sword would eventually choose to take refuge in Daxia Academy. The current situation is just the tip of the iceberg, which makes Shen Zhui extremely frightened. He simply cannot imagine the full strength of Daxia Academy.
"It is rumored that the Daxia Academy existed during the Xia Dynasty and has been passed down to this day by the survivors of Daxia."
"But it has mastered this kind of power and has remained standing for more than 30,000 years. Is it really just because of its neutral attitude?"
"The Jiuyou Realm was the most powerful force in the ancient times. The seat of the Jiuyou Divine Sect is also the holy place in the sect world today, and Emperor Xia was once a disciple of the Jiuyou Divine Sect."
"The king of Liang's surname is Xia, is it a coincidence, or..."
Suddenly, many thoughts flashed through Shen Zhui's mind.
He was vaguely aware that there was an inextricable relationship between the opening up of the Liang Kingdom, the border with the Jiuyou Mountains, and the existence of the Daxia Academy. It was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Since Prince Liang was able to suppress the extremely talented Marquis Wu'an for hundreds of years, the strength of Prince Liang's palace was far from being as weak as he thought.
The cave world that exists in the Great Xia Academy is too powerful and mysterious, and the secret realm here is too real. It is a complete copy of the Xia Dynasty in the early days of the Apocalypse.
How did those dynasties in history perish? Did they really perish? Or did they have their own incense inheritance like the Daxia Academy?
At this moment, Shen Zhui found that he seemed to have never understood this world before, and everything seemed to be covered with a veil.
"Forget it, it's no use thinking too much." Shen Zhui shook his head to drive these distracting thoughts out of his mind.
This is the benefit of calming your mind. You can stay focused at all times and not be confused by external things.
Shen Zhui felt that even if he thought further, he would only reach the end of the secret realm in more than two years.
To put it more simply, it is for the rewards of the final battle, including divine power, treasures, and secret techniques to enhance combat power.
Speaking more closely, the top priority is to recruit adventurers, expand forces, research tasks, and promote officials.
On the premise of ensuring life safety, you may also consider making a name for yourself and helping the three frontier troops and a few friends.
…………
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was one hundred and twenty-one days after the endgame began.
Ever since Shen Zhui decided to openly recruit adventurers, Pingyang Pass has become lively.
In the past, for the adventurers in Shangqiu City, Pingyang Pass was just a fog on the map and could not be found at all. But now that Shen Zhui took the initiative to recruit it, it immediately became a beacon in the dark and became the target of many adventurers.
Under the shock of thousands of imperial guards, no matter what kind of adventurers came, no one dared to be disrespectful at all. Even the adventurers who did not know the heights of the world were all honest after being publicly arrested and imprisoned by the imperial guards. Come down.
While Shen Zhui was recruiting adventurers, he began to reorganize the two city gates.
In order to expand quickly and reorganize manpower, Shen Zhui offered many tempting conditions in the early stage when adventurers entered in large numbers.
These include three levels of mission information: simple, general, and important, promotion mission difficulties from levels one to nine, maps around Shangqiu City, arsenals, official levels, possible triggered missions, etc.
However, only a small number of adventurers who have signed contracts with stricter conditions can enjoy the benefits of increased mission levels, promotions, and access to important information.
On the 139th day, Shen Zhui issued a corvee order at Pingyang Pass, rebuilt private houses and spiritual fields, developed special mineral deposits, and provided a small number of high-level tasks to adventurers.
On the 152nd day, Shen Zhui's command Zuo Shu Zhang Bi Ying led a team of adventurers and the imperial army to enter Zhenbeiguan to clean up Zhenbeiguan, which covers a wider area, and solve the hidden dangers of demons in a small area.
From this day on, Shen Zhui announced the launch of a large-scale mission at Zhenbeiguan, and promoted fifty left-hand chiefs, hundreds of right-hand chiefs, five senior officials, and public transport at one go. At the same time, the army entered Zhenbeiguan.
The number of adventurers joining suddenly increased!
On the one hundred and sixty-seventh day, Shen Zhui issued a tax order to collect taxes at Pingyang Pass and harvested a terrifying 570,000 silver knives.
On the 173rd day, Shen Zhui announced that he would no longer provide free tasks and information as well as the previous preferential treatment. Any adventurer must accept the arrangement of the superior appointed by Shen Zhui in order to continue to enjoy the extra treatment. However, this still did not stop a large number of adventurers from joining. Shen pursues the enthusiasm of his subordinates.
During this period, although Shen Zhui's official position no longer changed and entered a slow period, his actual power increased by leaps and bounds.
Finally, on the 185th day when the secret realm was opened.
Great victory at Zhenbeiguan.
The voice of rules resounded through the sky again, and Shen Zhui's name once again spread to the ears of all adventurers.
The entire Second Pass, inside and outside the palace city, was once again in a state of shock.
