Chapter 990: Taking the Book of the Heavens as Bait
To ease the burden on the next emperor...
This sentence was not very clear to understand, and everyone was surprised.
Also, what did Zhang Kui mean when he said it was related to the Book of Heaven?
Everyone looked at Zhang Kui, who still stood there blankly, with a gloomy tone: "I don't know whether the legends in this world are true or false. It is said that the same abnormal weather occurred in the capital twenty years ago. It seems that
There was a demonic dragon causing chaos in the clouds. At that time, the magic pen from the palace was used to suppress the demonic dragon. The genius of the capital restored its former peace.
The purpose of the emperor's visit to worship the sky is to resolve this strange weather. To resolve the changes in the sky at this moment, the magic pen must be used.
I believe everyone in the Chinese Dynasty is familiar with the legend about the magic pen. The earliest legend is that it was obtained by chance before Emperor Taizu's uprising. The magic pen contains the fortune of heaven and earth. Whoever gets the magic pen can conquer the world.
However, there is another saying among some warriors and masters. The magic pen is refined from the scriptures of the heavenly book and has the great effect of exorcising demons and evil spirits. However, the magic pen has been used to suppress demonic dragons twenty years ago.
It has lost its effect, and now you no longer need the magic pen to dispel weather abnormalities,"
Everyone looked at each other, their expressions gradually becoming serious.
Everyone present was either a grandmaster or had been lurking in the capital for many years. They had all heard similar legends more or less, and they all knew that what Zhang Kui said was not groundless.
"Without the magic pen, the only thing that can dispel visions now is the Book of Heaven. The Book of Heaven is divided into eight volumes and distributed all over the world, but what is collected in the palace is the most important outline of the Book of Heaven, which not only records the most important scriptures in the Book of Heaven
, and will connect the key points of the remaining seven volumes of scriptures. It is very likely that the emperor relied on this general outline of the heavenly book for his trip. It is also the general outline of the heavenly book that the world's great masters are interested in."
Zhang Kui's description is a bit complicated, and the connection with various legends is too unreal.
But Xia Shang then thought about it, what else in the world could interest all the masters in the world?
I'm afraid I won't be able to find any other item besides the Book of Heaven.
If the emperor, under the guise of offering sacrifices to heaven, makes all the masters in the world believe that the outline of the Heavenly Book will appear on the day of the sacrifice to heaven, which master would not want to come and try his luck?
A volume of the Heavenly Book can make a warrior become a master. If one can obtain the most important outline in the Heavenly Book, to what level will one's martial arts cultivation be improved to?
No one can imagine this.
A warrior has reached a bottleneck when he reaches Grandmaster level. Although the strengths and weaknesses of Grandmasters are still distinct, there is always a barrier like a natural chasm in front of all Grandmasters. No matter how talented you are, you cannot overcome the barrier in front of you.
Reach a higher level.
In order to become stronger, the General Outline of the Heavenly Book seems to be the key for the masters in the world to open the barrier. At least the masters all over the world think so. As long as they obtain the General Outline of the Heavenly Book, they can go one step further.
There are so many masters in the world, but there is only one general outline of the heavenly book. If the general outline of the heavenly book really appears, what will happen to the masters gathered here?
You don't need to think about it to know what kind of earth-shattering grand master battle will break out.
Thinking about it, Xia Shang couldn't help but shiver.
Xia Shang has seen many times when grandmasters fight with all their strength. Even if two grandmasters try their best, a strange phenomenon will erupt. If a few or a dozen grandmasters fight together, wouldn't it destroy the entire Xiantao Mountain?
All razed to the ground?
It is said that for people like Xia Shang who do not know martial arts, even warriors with Peiyuan realm skills under the Grandmaster may not be able to withstand the influence of the Grandmaster.
No wonder Yue Haitang would remind herself to leave here.
Now it is almost certain that a fierce battle will inevitably break out at the Golden Summit of Xiantao Mountain. No one can predict how widespread this battle will be.
The danger here has exceeded Xia Shang's expectation. Although there are three masters in the group of people he brought, these three masters are at the bottom among the many masters.
Both Zhang Kui and Chun Jiao have just entered the realm of Grand Masters. It’s hard to say what Nie Shisan’s true strength is, but he is definitely no match for General Wei Hehe.
If a chaotic war really broke out, the fighting power around him would be completely lost. In addition, the little strength he had worked hard to accumulate, and many friends and beauties, how could they be ruined here?
Thinking of this, Xia Shang had some intention of retreating.
"I feel like it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. It's better to leave here at night."
Xia Shang's words made everyone a little confused, and they all looked at him in surprise: "Sir, why do you suddenly want to retreat? Could it be that the purpose of replacing..."
Xia Shang frowned: "Things are more complicated than I thought. If
A grandmaster war has broken out here, and with our current strength, we can't help at all. The emperor's order is important, but as the leader, I can't make fun of your lives."
"But if we retreat and the Emperor comes here and is harmed, wouldn't our sin be great?"
"If the emperor really wants to attack the master in the martial arts under the pretext of worshiping the heaven, then the emperor will definitely not come here. In short, we left overnight. If anything goes wrong, I will bear the responsibility."
Xia Shang was very determined, and once he made up his mind, he would not change it.
Although his own child is in the hands of the emperor, the risk is too great right now. If something goes wrong, many lives will be lost. Even his own child cannot be compared with the lives of such a trusted person.
Also, Xia Shang wanted to make a bet that the emperor would not do anything to his children because of his temporary retreat. After all, it would not do him much good if the emperor did so.
Xia Shang made a decision, but what Xia Shang didn't expect was the reaction of his subordinates.
Most of these people were silent, but judging from their expressions, there was a hint of displeasure, and they seemed not to agree with Xia Shang's proposal.
"What's your expression?" Xia Shang was confused.
"Hmph!" Zhang Kui sneered, "Sir, have you forgotten? Everyone here is a martial artist. Who among the martial arts practitioners in the world is not interested in the Heavenly Book? Even if it is the Heavenly Book.
The division into volumes is enough for them to scramble over their heads, not to mention that what appears this time may be the most important general outline of the Book of Heaven. Now that you want them to leave, who can be willing to do so?"
"Sir, I didn't mean that!" Fang Cheng denied repeatedly.
Others followed suit and denied it.
But looking at the expressions of the people around him, this undoubtedly meant that what they were thinking, but they didn't want to admit.
Xia Shang secretly lamented that he still underestimated the temptation of the Book of Heaven itself to martial arts practitioners.
Even these warriors who have not yet advanced to Grandmaster show such a greedy attitude. I am afraid that each of them is secretly imagining in their hearts that maybe they are the luckiest one in the world and can luckily obtain the General Outline of the Heavenly Book in the Grandmaster War, right?
"Since you all deny it, then according to my arrangement, we will go down the mountain overnight and not get involved in this dispute."
