"General Zhang, you came back just in time. The empire is now at war with Japan, and it's time to use troops."
"Your Majesty, you will raise your troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. At the end of the day, you will ask for orders to lead the Xiliang cavalry to the battlefield."
Zhang Xiu suddenly rose up, the armor on his body clashed with each other, and a look of anxiety appeared on his face. During this period of time, he had been sick in Huangsha City, and now he finally had the opportunity to stretch his muscles and bones. How could he let go of such a great opportunity.
"General Zhang, don't be anxious. Now that you have returned to the imperial capital, if war breaks out, I will let the general fight on the battlefield."
"General Zhang will be stationed outside the city with 100,000 cavalry and wait for my order!"
Emperor Chu's majestic voice sounded, nearly a million troops had been deployed in the battle against Japan, and there was no need to continue to increase the number of troops.
Zhang Xiu has one hundred thousand Xiliang cavalry under his command. Their combat power is terrifying and they can be of great use. He has other arrangements, so Zhang Xiu must stay in Beijing for a while.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The general will always be ready. With my emperor's order, the Xiliang cavalry will go nowhere."
When Zhang Xiu left the imperial study, night had fallen quietly. Emperor Chu's departure for Zhengyang Pass was put on hold and could only be postponed until the next day.
At night.
The lone star is hanging in the sky, the wind is freezing, and the snowflakes are falling. This is the third winter that Emperor Chu has experienced.
Seeing the flying snow falling from the sky, its crystal clear appearance under the light, Emperor Chu turned around with a flick of his sleeves and walked into the wind towards the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.
............
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
Emperor Chu sat cross-legged on the wooden couch with a solemn expression. Just for a moment, he felt the platycodon loosening in his body, which seemed to be a sign of breaking through to the Martial Saint Realm.
Swallowing the Divine Fire, the cultivation of the Half-Step Martial Saint Realm has reached its bottleneck. Now that everything is done, it is time to break through in one fell swoop.
"Huhu~"
"Huhu~"
The cold wind howled and roared, and the snowflakes moved with the wind. At this time, a huge vortex appeared in the sky above the Yangxin Palace, and the vast and majestic true energy condensed and enveloped the Yangxin Palace.
Inside the palace.
On the wooden couch.
Emperor Chu's eyes were slightly closed, realizing that heaven and man were one, and he saw the power of true energy flowing along the wooden couch and entering his body like a flowing river, flowing continuously and endlessly.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Dragon roars spread one after another, and the shadows of three divine dragons were entrenched in the void in the Yangxin Hall. Three sharp blades were suspended around Emperor Chu.
Taixu Sword, Tiger Soul Sword, and Zhanlong Sword released three Gangqi barriers, wrapping the figure of Emperor Chu in it, spinning crazily.
Suddenly.
The roar of thunder echoed across the sky, and the thunder tore apart the sky and landed, hitting the sky above the Yangxin Hall.
This night.
The coexistence of flying snow and thunder, thunder on a snowy night, was inconsistent with the laws of heaven and earth. The people of Luoyang City knelt down and prayed. They thought God was going to punish Chu, but didn't they know that all this was because their king was making a breakthrough.
Little did the people know that the thunder in the night sky was the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation, but there were people in Luoyang City who understood. At this time, Mr. Ji and everyone from Tianmen all appeared under the night sky.
On the top of the towering pavilion, black shadows stood upright under the wind and snow, with their cloaks roaring and astonished eyes all focused in the direction of the palace.
"Your Majesty's breakthrough has caused the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation. This is God's jealousy!"
"Long Zun is unique throughout the ages. If he breaks through Platycodon's breakthrough, he will definitely win the world. We don't have much time. There are no tasks in the next days. Everyone should step up their cultivation."
The sky was covered with snow all night long, and at dawn the thunder disappeared, leaving the sky and the earth a vast expanse. As far as the eye could see, the whole world was covered in silver.
The first snow has fallen and winter has completely entered. There are only a few people on the long street of Luoyang City, and there are only a few pavilions where smoke is rising.
at this time.
In the palace, in the Yangxin Hall, Emperor Chu finally completed his advancement and successfully advanced to the lower level of the Martial Saint Realm.
Although he was only at the lower level of the Martial Saint Realm, Emperor Chu firmly believed that even if he met a black-robed man from Japan, he would still be able to fight.
Emperor Chu flew off the wooden couch, pushed open the door of Yangxin Palace, and began to quickly familiarize himself with the power of martial saint realm cultivation. Suddenly, Xiaojian's voice came to his ears.
"Hey, congratulations to the host for successfully breaking through to the Martial Saint Realm. The system will reward you with a combat power gift pack, which the host can use at any time."
"Combat power gift pack?"
Emperor Chu was a little curious. This was the first time a combat power gift pack appeared in the system. He looked inside the system page and clicked on the combat power gift pack.
"Combat power inheritance card, combat power surge card, and anti-combat power weakening card. If you open it successfully, you can get one of them."
Emperor Chu nodded lightly. He understood both inheritance and surge cards, but what exactly was this anti-combat power weakening card? He was a little curious.
"Hey, the system prompts the anti-combat strength weakening card. Once used successfully, the host's hostile force's combat strength can be weakened accordingly."
"I see, this anti-combat power weakening card is simply a perfect cheating device!"
Emperor Chu suddenly realized it, and he couldn't help but look forward to it. If he could get the anti-war power weakening card, Chu would have a chance of winning in the war with Japan.
...........
early morning.
Ye Gucheng, invited Yue to come to the palace to recover his life, or come to plead guilty. Emperor Chu had already known what happened in Qinglan Mountain, and did not blame the two of them at all. Instead, he rewarded them with the Jiuqu Spiritual Pill.
Tianmen is the sharp blade of the Chu Kingdom that unifies the world. Although the Emperor of Chu has never personally cared about it, he is still very concerned about the cultivation of Ye Gucheng, Yaoyue, Ximen Chuixue and Dugujian.
After all, these people are the leaders of Tianmen. Without tyrannical strength, how can they sit in Tianmen and issue orders.
After Ye Gucheng and Yueyue thanked each other, they informed them of what happened on Qinglan Mountain. Emperor Chu was only interested in what happened after Japan took away the meteorite.
Yao Yue and the others did not disappoint Emperor Chu. They killed the excavation corps and the Zhan Zhan Academy of ten people. Only the leaders of both sides escaped.
Emperor Chu nodded lightly and ordered the two of them to return to Tianmen to practice in seclusion. He discovered that the leader of the regiment had escaped. He was the acquaintance Concubine Meiji said she was looking for. So Emperor Chu decided to wait and wait. As long as he was in Luoyang, the divine capital, the other party might appear at any time.
Die.
With the current breakthrough in cultivation, Emperor Chu did not pay attention to the potential danger. He was not arrogant, but with his breakthrough, the cultivation of the Shadow Blood Guards and the Eighteen Yanyun Cavalry increased again.
With eleven strong men at the top level of the Martial Saint Realm guarding him, Emperor Chu could rest easy for the time being, unless the Half-Step Martial God took action, but there was no longer any Martial God in the War Continent.
Ye Gucheng and Yaoyue left the palace. Emperor Chu, served by Xiao Guizi, put on a floor-length mink velvet cloak and walked out of the palace.
An hour later.
Outside the Imperial Academy of Sciences.
Emperor Chu's chariot stopped, and there was a creaking sound. Emperor Chu supported Xiao Guizi and swept away the chariot, got up and walked towards the Academy of Sciences.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Just as he entered the Academy of Sciences, two loud noises were heard. Emperor Chu felt a slight tremor on the ground beneath his feet. With a look of confusion on his face, Emperor Chu walked quickly through the corridor.
at this time.
In the inner courtyard of the Academy of Sciences, on the back mountain, Zhang Heng, Shen Kuo, and Lu Ban were doing experiments unknown to each other. Loud noises kept ringing. After receiving notification from the guards in the courtyard and learning that Emperor Chu had arrived, the three of them put down their experiments and walked in the snow.
