"Xia Yi? It's still him." Shen Zhuimen snorted and couldn't help but sneer.
Prince Liang's Mansion is still so arrogant and arrogant. Even though he has killed the eighth-level venerable, the one he sent to negotiate with him is still a small third-level venerable.
But the other party does have the capital to be arrogant.
Originally, the masters of Prince Liang's Mansion and Wu'an Army were all hiding so that the sect alliance could not figure it out. However, in a big battle, many things were exposed to the light.
Although Shen Zhui did not see guests or move around, it did not mean that he did not pay attention to the trends in the army.
Nowadays, the person in charge of the power in Prince Liang’s Mansion is undoubtedly Prince Liang’s eldest son, Xia Feihu!
Looking through the military merit list, people under the command of Prince Liang, including heirs, disciples and those secretly trained, occupy one-third of the top 100 on the military merit list!
Xia Feihu is undoubtedly the strongest one. However, Shen Zhui also has a piece of information in his hand, which shows that there is another young master named Xia Ren who returned from an adventure in the outer world not long ago. Although he did not go to the battlefield, Xiu Xiu Not to be underestimated.
"Did he explain his purpose?" Shen asked.
"No, he just asked to see you, sir." Yu Ziqi said.
"Then blast him out." Shen Zhui said via voice message.
There was no room for change between him and King Liang. Now that he had won the battle to seal the king, there was no need for him to be superficial with King Liang.
"Sir! He has left, but...he left a letter." Yu Ziqi said.
"Letter?" Shen Zhui raised his eyebrows.
As soon as he waved his hand, Yu Ziqi, who was far outside the door, felt the envelope in his hand fall out of his hands and turned into a stream of light, flying into the depths of General Shenwei's mansion.
"Whoosh~" This pale golden envelope appeared in front of him. Shen Zhui quietly stared at the six gilt characters on it: Personally signed by General Shenwei.
Just when Shen Zhui was curious and wanted to touch the letter, he stopped again.
"What a creation out of nothing!" Shen Zhui retracted his hand like lightning.
He suddenly woke up and looked at the letter in confusion.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Zhui immediately wrapped him up and quietly left the mansion and flew to Tianxin Palace.
After landing at Tianxin Palace, Shen Zhui immediately asked to see Marquis Wu'an.
However, Marquis Wu An did not see him, but his master Lu Yuanwei was waiting for him.
"The Marquis is in retreat." Lu Yuanwei looked at Shen Zhui who hurried over and asked with some confusion. "Shen Zhui, why are you panicking?"
"Retreat?" Shen Zhui was stunned, becoming more and more sure of his guess.
"That's right, Lord Marquis has suppressed his realm for hundreds of years. Now that he has absorbed the great fortune of the Battle of the King, it is time to break through the last barrier and become a true god." Lu Yuanwei said. "Before the imperial court's decree comes, we should I won’t even see visitors anymore…what do you want?”
"Breakthrough? At this time..." Shen Zhui frowned.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Zhui said: "That's it. Just now, someone from Prince Liang's Mansion sent me a letter. It was from Xia Yi, the seventeenth son of Prince Liang."
Lu Yuanwei's expression also changed slightly: "How did you do it?"
"I ordered people to kick him out, but the other party left this secret letter."
"Have you ever opened it?!" Lu Yuanwei said seriously.
"Never."
"That's good." Lu Yuanwei seemed to be relieved. "You did the right thing."
"Master, can you give this letter to the Marquis?" Shen asked.
"The Marquis is currently in retreat. Just give the letter to my master. When the Marquis comes out, I will tell him the whole story." Lu Yuanwei said.
"Then I'll trouble Master." Shen Zhui nodded.
Just as he was about to turn around, Lu Yuanwei suddenly stopped Shen Zhui and asked, "Aren't you curious about what is in this letter?"
Shen Zhui shook his head and said, "My disciple was indeed curious at first, but then I thought about it and realized that there might be nothing in this letter."
"It's not a split body that is trying to harm me, nor is it a threat or solicitation, it's just a blank piece of paper."
"And as soon as you open it, I estimate that the envelope will burn automatically and be irreversible."
Lu Yuanwei glanced at Shen Zhui in surprise and nodded. He originally thought that Shen Zhui had an instinctive sense of crisis, but he didn't expect that he could see it so clearly.
"Go, don't make any noise, just stay in the house."
"yes."
…………
On the way back to Shenwei Mansion, inside the cave world.
Zen Xin was a little confused and said: "Shen Zhui, is that letter really empty? Why did King Liang do this?"
"It must be empty." Shen Zhui said calmly.
"As for the reason, it is to leave a gap between me and Lord Marquis!"
"Is there a gap?" Zen Xin didn't understand.
"Yes, just a letter is nothing. But there are many meanings behind it." Shen Zhui shook his head.
"I was single-handedly promoted by Marquis Wu An. It is absolutely impossible for me to have any unclear connection with Prince Liang."
"Huh, Prince Liang must know that he can't win me over, but this blank letter is enough to make it difficult for me to explain."
"As long as it is opened, no matter what the content is, the letter will burn on its own. Then, who knows what Prince Liang said to me?"
"Even if I take the initiative to explain that there is nothing here and that it is a conspiracy, it is really hard for people to believe it without real evidence."
"Furthermore, after returning from the Nine Nether Realm, King Liang sent Na Xiayi to meet with me many times. Although it was just a face-to-face meeting and he left after saying a few words... But it certainly cannot be hidden from the eyes of interested people."
"Zen Xin, don't you think something is wrong? Prince Liang hasn't done anything to me since I came back from the Nine Nether Realm."
"Something's not right..." Zen Xin also reacted. "With the strength of King Liang, he can definitely cause trouble for you during this period, or prevent you from performing meritorious services, or simply send someone to kill you."
"But he didn't do anything." Shen Zhui said. "Originally, I thought that the King of Liang was trying to prevent me from breaking the law and leaking the Nine Nether Soul Sword. But I was wrong."
"The true gods of the sect alliance concluded that I, the Unbroken Master, cannot be killed. King Liang must also know this."
"So it would be difficult for him to succeed in whatever he does to me, let alone kill me under the care of Marquis Wu'an."
"But sometimes killing is not the best solution. He did this because he wanted to force me to surrender and give him the things."
"He sent people to have private talks with you many times, with the intention of driving a wedge between you and Marquis Wu'an?" Zenxin took a breath of cold air.
What is Shen Zhui's biggest backer? It's Marquis Wu'an! If Marquis Wu'an doesn't protect him, I'm afraid he will be the mud in the hands of King Liang, allowing others to rub him.
"It's hard to say it's a estrangement, but at least it's destroying the relationship." Shen Zhui said. "The Liang Palace has always hated me. I even killed the eldest son Xia Jing. Even Xia Hong can say that he died because of me."
"However, after returning to the Jiuyou Realm, Prince Liang's Mansion not only did not harm me, but also seemed to be peaceful. This is very suspicious."
"Even if the Marquis is wise and powerful and sees through these tricks, there might be people who are jealous of me and will turn a deaf ear to me."
"It doesn't matter once or twice, but if it happens too many times, it won't be accurate." Shen Zhui looked worried. "As long as Marquis Wu An is even a little shaken, and he doesn't try his best and is not so firm on the matter of Zixuan... Liang The king's purpose is achieved."
"When the time comes, I want to marry Zixuan but I can't. King Liang recruits me again in the name of a prince and agrees to stand for me, but the only requirement is the key to the door. Do you think... do I have any other choice?"
"This..." Zenxin's eyes widened.
Thinking about it carefully, if Shen Zhui didn't agree at that time and the King of Liang spread the word, it would not only be a question of whether to marry Zixuan, but also his life would be at risk.
After all, the power of Zuo Xiang Fan's family is at its peak. It is entirely possible that Shen Zhui, who is only a fourth-level Venerable, could accidentally be killed.
"I hope that Marquis Wu'an will not fall into Prince Liang's scheme." Zen Xin also said with some fear.
"That's why I handed this letter to the Marquis directly without reading it," Shen Zhui said.
He felt that Marquis Wu An would definitely understand his actions to show his loyalty.
But without this letter, it would be difficult to say.
Marquis Wu'an may be wise and mighty, but King Zhao may not be so!
After the Battle of the King was over, the role of Shen Zhui was greatly reduced. Secondly, the State of Zhao was now adjacent to the State of Liang. The status of Zhao Xing and Xia Wudao was now equal, but not what it was before. There was a tense conflict, because everyone understood that the situation had been decided and there was nothing the King of Liang could do to the King of Zhao.
There are a lot of resources in the Jiuyou Mountains. As the situation stabilizes, a large amount of resources will flow into Da Zhou from the western border via caravans. This is a huge benefit! This will slowly turn into a trend of cooperation!
Therefore, Shen Zhui couldn't make any mistakes. Otherwise, the hard-earned friendship between superiors and subordinates would be wasted.
"I hope Lord Marquis can continue as before." Shen Zhui thought silently in his heart, and then returned to the mansion.
…………
He has done everything he can, and now Shen Zhui just hopes that Marquis Wu An can keep his promise and help him to the end.
It would take some time for the decree to come down, so Shen Zhui stayed at Shenwei Mansion with peace of mind.
Opening the storage ring, Shen Zhui took out a "Martial Arts" from inside.
"Martial Arts" was compiled by Wenzong Liu Ruqin. It is not a secret of cultivation, but it describes each realm and cultivation direction in detail. But it also has the advantage of integrating ancient sects and many secret scriptures Complex explanations are simplified into easy-to-understand explanations, so that practitioners all over the world can benefit from them.
Someone once said that as long as he thoroughly understands this "Martial Scripture", even an ordinary venerable person can hope to find a path to the true god.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to prove the charm of this book.
"When you reach the level of cultivation, you can unlock the mysteries of the human brain. The three souls and seven souls are nurtured and grown by the cave world, and your understanding is greatly improved. Any skill or secret skill can be easily mastered. It is no longer restricted by innateness."
“In addition to expanding one’s cave world, the Venerable level also needs to practice specific techniques.
Different exercises have different effects. The bad ones only increase some understanding.
In addition to speeding up the understanding of the rules of heaven and earth, those who are strong can even draw inferences from one instance to make up for innate deficiencies, turning the weaknesses in their talents into strengths. For example, if you were originally only good at the way of gold, you will become a venerable person with the heart of the world of gold. For the other five elements, All are very weak.
But we can also slowly make up for it, allowing the other paths to reach the same status as the Golden Way.
It is even possible to condense a new world heart! The powerful technique can even allow a venerable with a single world heart to condense the nine world hearts when he reaches the peak of the venerable. Of course, at this time, the heart of the world can be condensed. If you leave the heart of the world, you will no longer receive gifts from the world.
Therefore, when choosing a venerable-level technique, you must be extremely careful, and it is better to use less than too much!"
Seeing the description in the martial arts scripture, Shen Zhui's eyes suddenly lit up, as if the door to a new world had opened.
"I heard that the Marquis has stayed at the Venerable level for more than two hundred years. It's not that he can't break through, but that he stayed there deliberately."
"There is also the Venerable Buried Sword, who is also an extremely talented person. He was a Venerable ninety years ago, but he still hasn't broken the True God."
"It turns out that when they are at the Venerable level, they are all trying to make up for the weaknesses in their talents and pursue the ultimate way. Therefore, although they are only at the Venerable level, they can kill the true gods. Once they break through, they will definitely be able to aspire to be the top true god in the future. Among them!"
After writing down these words, Shen Zhui continued to read back.
"Understand the rules of heaven and earth, and master an advanced rule at the venerable level, and you will have the opportunity to attack the true god."
"However, this is only a very small chance."
"At the true god level, condensing the divine body and mastering the laws. Understanding the rules of the world and transforming the advanced rules into laws is just one of them."
"Strengthen the three souls and seven souls, constantly excavate the treasures of the divine body, and allow the body to undergo transformation. Eventually, the three souls and seven souls will be completely integrated with every flesh and blood of the body, and only then will the divine body be able to withstand the unpredictable power of the law! "
"Only when you break through can you be able to withstand the power released by the Heart of the World."
Wow~ The pages of the book turned, and Shen Zhui continued reading.
"Of course, the Fangwai sect has some extreme paths and directly skips the step of condensing the divine body."
"For example, the Corpse Puppet Sect of the Fangwai Sect has a secret method that can separate the divine body from the original body that controls the laws, and use the second corpse god to bear the impact of the laws."
"But it is equivalent to the separation of law and divine body. Although the sect world claims to have a method that makes it easier to become a true god, this method is not advisable and cannot be called a true god."
Seeing the familiar three words Corpse Puppet Sect, Shen Zhui couldn't help but mutter: "Controlled by laws, separated from the divine body? It can still be like this, but the true gods cultivated by the Corpse Puppet Sect's method are not as powerful as those combined with the laws of the divine body. the way."
"The most dangerous step to attack the true god is not the understanding of the rules, but the fusion of the three souls and seven souls with flesh and blood.
The three souls and seven souls are extremely mysterious and fragile. They cannot be understood without reaching the realm. When the venerable level hits the true god level, if you are not careful, you can easily hurt the three souls and seven souls without knowing it.
Fusion of flesh and blood makes the soul and body into one, which is equivalent to breaking up the soul and spirit. If it fails, the three souls and seven souls will be destroyed, and the path of training will come to an end. It is absolutely impossible to advance! So in the future Be completely sure, remember not to scatter your soul, and try to make your soul reach its peak state when it hits the realm!"
"Remember!"
…
The word "remember" shocked Shen Zhui. With his current state, he has mastered the advanced rules, and according to theory, he is actually qualified to attack the true god.
However, that is also theoretical. Now that I have seen the advice in "Martial Arts", Shen Zhui will certainly not seek death to scatter his soul. If he really does this, I am afraid that his soul will be scattered immediately.
No wonder Marquis Wu An is in seclusion now. It is the most critical moment to disperse his soul and spirit. It is impossible to come out to see him again.
"According to what the martial arts scripture says, I need a skill now." Shen Zhui thought to himself. "And I must find a method that enhances the rules of transformation and cultivates the divine body. I can't find a method that is incomplete like the Corpse Puppet Sect."
To break through the true god, one is to understand the rules and cultivate the heart of the world, so that the power of rules can be transformed into the power of laws.
The second is to cultivate the three souls and seven souls and tap the potential of the body, which involves the cultivation of the soul and the physical body.
If you miss any one path, it will be difficult to break through to the True God.
Although some venerables have strong physical bodies, powerful caves, and extremely unparalleled combat prowess, the power of rules cannot be transformed into the power of law, so they will always be stuck at the venerable level, and eventually their lifespan will be exhausted.
In addition, although the understanding of the rules is very deep, even comparable to the understanding of the true god realm, but without a body that carries the rules, it is still impossible to break through, or you can only choose an extreme path to break through.
"There is no such concurrent cultivation method in the military." Shen Zhui checked the Chuanwu Hall and found that there were no exercises to cultivate to the true god at all. Most of them were attack secret techniques, sword techniques, Taoist techniques, etc.
"It seems that the secret of the True God's breakthrough is a secret of the imperial court. Just like the "Liuhe Daozang", it will not be spread at all."
"Maybe the three Wu Hous have it, but now we can only wait until the Hou Lords come out of seclusion." Shen Zhui thought to himself.
Since even Chuanwu Palace does not have this technique, it proves that this technique is a secret that even he cannot check.
It is also impossible for Marquis Dingwu and Marquis Shenjian to pass it on to him. Marquis Wuan may be possible, but he is in retreat.
"But there is no rush. After entering Beijing, sooner or later, we will be able to see this kind of skill."
According to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, at the level of marquis, when you are granted a title, you have to return to the capital to report your duties to the Ministry of War. You also need to hire a painter to make a portrait for the Ministry of War to record and file. This time, Shen Zhui can be granted a marquis title and enter the capital for the last time. It's inevitable.
"According to the agreement, Zixuan should be at Xuanyue Fairy Island now. I wonder how she is doing!"
Shen chased back towards Wangjing City and thought.
…………
After calming down, Shen Zhui continued to read.
In the martial arts scriptures, several techniques are introduced to reach the true god level. Even the secret techniques of various major sects are taken out for a comparison of their pros and cons.
Ranked first is the royal family's "The Infinite Way of the Emperor". It was created by the Emperor Tianming of the current dynasty, and is generally not spread among the public. Only the children of the royal family can learn it.
Ranked second is the "Nine Nether Divine Body" of the Jiuyou Sect. It is rumored that this is a part separated from the supreme secret method of the Jiuyou Divine Sect. Among them, the Liuhe Sect inherits the "Liuhe Daozang" that integrates the rules.
The Jiuyou Sect has inherited the "Nine Nether Divine Body" secret method for cultivating the divine body. As for the Taishang Sect, it has inherited the "Taishang Lian Shen" method for refining alchemy and weaponry.
Ranked third is the secret book "Xuan Yue Celestial Body" from Xuan Yue Immortal Island in the South China Sea, which attracts the power of stars from outside the sky to temper the body. Legend has it that Xuan Yue Celestial Body has the effect of strengthening the soul, and is the most balanced method.
In addition, there are some techniques whose sources cannot be verified, and only a few techniques are included in the "Martial Arts". For example, the "Sword Code" and the partial "Dharmakaya".
The former is to practice various weapons and exist completely as one's own life. The way of sword absorbs all rules. It creates extreme power, and even the heart of the world turns into a sword of the heart, which can completely separate from the body and attack.
The latter is even more outrageous. It uses Taoism to condense a huge set of external meridians, trying to form a Dharma body that can be conquered by heaven and earth. There is no need to bear the risk of oneself at all.
However, very few people have mastered these secret scriptures. They are very difficult. From generation to generation, only one person out of tens of thousands of people can master them. As time goes by, few people have ever seen them.
However, because of its great power, Liu Ruqin still included it in the "Martial Arts".
As for the path of a civil servant? There is no such statement at all. There is no bottleneck at all. But no one has said what it would be like for a civil servant to become a true god. It seems that this does not rely on cultivation at all, so it is not written at all.
"call!"
Turning to the end, Shen Zhui breathed a sigh of relief. The martial arts scriptures in the army were not complete, and only provided the way to the true god.
And it is not that difficult to obtain these powerful skills, at least the possibility in the military is very low.
"I am now at the fourth level of the Venerable. I am not in a hurry to practice the exercises. I can completely improve my understanding of the rules first. There are systematic good exercises, and the speed is much faster than those methods!"
"The Divine Body Condensation Technique. When the Marquis comes out of seclusion, ask him first. If it doesn't work, go to the capital to look for it. You are only ranked as the Marquis of Wu, so it shouldn't be difficult to find a good technique." Shen Zhui thought to himself.
…………
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, another seven days passed. During these seven days, Shen Zhui had been cultivating behind closed doors, not caring about worldly affairs, and devoted himself to cultivating quietly to consolidate his realm.
Stay until early morning on the seventh day.
"Dong dong~" A rapid knock on the door sounded, and Yu Ziqi's voice came in again.
"Sir, come out quickly!"
"The imperial court's decree of reward has arrived! The Grand Supervisor is waiting at Tianxin Palace!"
Five thousand six hundred words, sorry for the delay, there is still one more update.
