"This word should be translated as 'domain'!"
Wang Hao carefully studied the animal skin scroll again by the dim light, and identified a key, strange word that appeared repeatedly. If translated, it roughly meant "domain".
According to the manual, once the domain expands, the cultivator becomes a god within a certain range, capable of controlling all things. The exaggerated claims of changing the world and summoning wind and rain are based on this domain.
While there are certainly exaggerations involved, there must also be some truth to it.
"Forget it, let's wait until we get enough Fortune Points and unlock the Dao Comprehension Function first!"
Somewhat bewildered, Wang Hao shook his head and decided to temporarily give up trying to comprehend this thing. Instead, he repeatedly flipped through it several times until he had completely memorized it. Then, with a forceful movement, he crushed the already brittle animal hide scroll into pieces.
Whether this supernatural power is real or not, it's best to keep it to yourself.
He might not have cared in the past, but now that he was facing the Confucian School school, a formidable enemy, it would be disastrous if the Confucian School obtained this divine skill. Therefore, destroying it was the safest course of action.
At worst, I can just write it down from memory when I need it.
After confirming that there were no other martial arts manuals here, Wang Hao began to search and explore. Finally, he found a passage in a corner, and could even feel Sisi cool breeze blowing out from inside.
This passage is clearly the ventilation shaft here!
Returning to the main burial chamber, Wang Hao rummaged through the boxes and pulled out a set of armor, putting it on before walking towards the ventilation shaft.
There was no way around it; his clothes had been completely destroyed in the Guanzhong, and now they were spotless. It wasn't a good time for him to leave in this state.
As we continued, we found that the ventilation tunnel was not full of traps or mechanisms, but it was unexpectedly long, taking half Tokiomi to reach the end.
"This looks like a section of the palace wall!"
Wang Hao walked to the end of the passage and glanced at the hundreds of small holes on both sides, through which one could see some of the outside scenery.
On the left were ordinary houses, while on the right was a magnificent and extremely luxurious palace. He had seen this style before; it was the same style when he followed Eunuch Cao into the palace.
Clearly, the right side leads to the imperial palace, while the left side is naturally the interior of the capital city. Needless to say, the location I am in is inside a palace wall.
However, hundreds of tiny holes were cleverly drilled into this wall, allowing the wind to blow through the special passageway into the treasure location below. This method is truly ingenious, making use of both the right time and place.
The capital city is usually blown by either northwest or southeast winds, and this city wall faces both directions directly, allowing it to get wind from both sides for ventilation at any time of year.
The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated!
After a moment of reflection, Wang Hao glanced out through the small ventilation hole on the right, then pondered for a while and came up with a plan. He then turned around and went down to dig at the top of the passage according to the planned distance.
This was just a ventilation opening, and it was sealed off, making it impossible to get out.
He might be able to break through the city walls and escape using his divine power, but that would inevitably attract the attention of the experts inside the palace, so it would be necessary to dig another exit.
With his current strength of 150,000 jin, the mud and bricks were no match for him, and he quickly dug a passage to the surface.
"Holy crap, I almost dug into the latrine!"
Crawling out of the Earthly Dao covered in mud, Wang Hao looked at the outhouse just a few meters away and broke out in a cold sweat.
He had only calculated a rough location beforehand, and was unable to make precise adjustments, before he started digging.
Luckily, we made a good choice; otherwise, we would have been in deep trouble if we had dug right under that outhouse.
Shaking off the mud, Wang Hao took a quick look around. It was the backyard of an ordinary family, with wooden racks filled with tofu, clearly a small tofu-making workshop.
Seeing that no one was in the courtyard, Wang Hao casually put on a set of clothes that were drying on the edge of the courtyard, and took off the set of armor and threw it into the dug Earthly Dao.
After all, that suit of armor was made Yuan Dynasty and was full of the style of the nomadic tribes of the grasslands; wearing it out would attract too much attention.
Although the clothes weren't very large, they could still be worn by someone who had shrunk their body to eight feet using the Thousand Faces Divine Technique, indicating that the original owner of the clothes was also quite large.
After simply concealing the Earthly Dao the tunnel, Wang Hao sat imposingly in the courtyard and waited.
Soon, a burly man, over seven feet tall, came out of the front house carrying a large plate of tofu, seemingly intending to take it to the backyard to dry.
"Who are you?"
The burly man was stunned when he saw Wang Hao sitting in his yard. He wanted to get angry, but when he saw the long knife flashing in Wang Hao's hand, he swallowed back the words he was about to say and didn't dare to shout.
In this world where martial arts masters roam freely, he, as an ordinary citizen, still possessed some knowledge.
The person in front of me is clearly a martial arts practitioner. If I really anger him, I might get killed. So it's best to be honest.
Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is whether you want to live or die?
Wang Hao toyed with the long knife he had just used to dig the hole, casually chopped in half a Shi Mo used to grind beans, and looked at the big man with the cold look of a killer.
"I want to live, of course I want to live. May I ask what your orders are, sir?"
The burly man hurriedly put down the tofu in his hand, smiling apologetically with trepidation, his vest covered in a cold sweat.
Just kidding! That Shi Mo was carved from the finest bluestone, making it extremely hard. Yet, it was cleaved in two with a single stroke. This is no ordinary martial arts master!
"This is one hundred taels of gold, enough to buy your entire courtyard. From this day forward, you must leave the capital as soon as possible. I don't care where you go, just don't return to the capital, or you can imagine the consequences."
Wang Hao tossed a gold bar he'd brought from the Great Yuan Treasury to the burly man, his face still bearing the expression of a cold-blooded killer.
"Honey, who are you talking to? Hey? Why are you wearing my clothes?"
Just then, a middle-aged woman with fairly pretty features came out of the house in front, obviously having heard the commotion behind her and come to check.
"What do you mean, 'my clothes'? Those are the clothes of a martial arts master!"
The burly man was startled and quickly scolded his wife, then said with a fawning smile, "She's just an ignorant woman, please don't take offense, sir. We'll pack up quickly and leave."
After saying that, he grabbed his wife and walked quickly towards the house ahead, his face beaming with ecstasy.
Although it's unclear why that hero wanted to buy their courtyard, the fact that he immediately offered one hundred taels of gold was quite extravagant.
Although housing prices in the capital are not low, their place is so remote that it's not worth the price at all. Getting one hundred taels of gold is a real windfall.
With this hundred taels of gold, leaving the capital wouldn't be a problem, and he could go as far away as he wanted.
The big man was very efficient. He finished packing in half an hour and he and his wife each carried a small bundle and left quickly, as if afraid that Wang Hao would change his mind.
"Done!"
Wang Hao clapped his hands, tossed the long sword aside, and then took off his clothes again to wash them with the well water beside him.
He had been trapped underground for a while and was feeling quite uncomfortable, so he needed to clean himself up quickly.
After getting dressed again, Wang Hao locked the door and walked towards a main street not far away.
He's currently using the pseudonym Zhu Yanzu, an identity not many people recognize, so he can walk out openly and legitimately.
This is mainly because the use of Innate Qi has allowed the Thousand Faces Divine Technique to break through to the Peak Perfection, enabling it to compress cells to a preliminary level. Just now, it compressed all the cells in the body, which is why the body was reduced to eight feet tall.
Otherwise, if it were merely Thousand Faces Divine Technique that Complete Integration a state of complete mastery, at most it would only be able to compress the joints to barely reduce the body size to nine feet, which is incomparable to what it is now.
This is also a fundamental improvement to the Thousand Faces Divine Technique.
Of course, there are always gains and losses.
It's unclear whether it's because of the difference between Innate Qi and Acquired True Qi, but when he used the Thousand Faces Divine Technique to shape his body, he encountered limitations and could only create one appearance.
After noticing the breakthrough of the Thousand Faces Divine Technique in the underground treasure vault passage, he casually created a face that bore a nine-tenths resemblance to Wu Yanzu, which was the fictional identity of Zhu Yanzu.
But who would have thought that after the procedure, the Innate True Qi circulated within the body, and then it was fixed in shape, making it impossible to change it to any other form. It can be considered a semi-permanent alteration.
However, this body shaping isn't without its advantages. After the body is shrunk, it doesn't affect the body's flexibility at all, just as if this is the body shape one was born with.
If there's a drawback, it's that the power has been reduced by half, leaving only 75,000 jin of strength. But that's still pretty good; at least it makes this disguised identity more believable and will be very useful for future plans.
Wearing the alias of Zhu Yanzu, Wang Hao moved quickly and soon arrived at a roast chicken shop. He ordered three hundred roast chickens there and then went to a restaurant across the street, where he ordered a large table of food and drinks and began to feast.
He's really starved today, he needs to eat something good to replenish his energy.
Anyway, he already possessed the Great Yuan Treasure, which contained countless riches, so using it for a decent meal was just a drop in the ocean.
"Huh? Tie Niu?"
While Wang Hao was feasting, he suddenly saw a familiar face hurrying towards him down the street. A thought struck him, and he called out, " Tie Niu!"
"Does this young master know me?"
Newton and turned to look at Wang Hao. After hesitating for a moment, he finally walked over and asked, while also being on guard in his heart.
Few people know his real name; he mostly uses code names within the Blood Robe Tower. The fact that this person knows his real name is quite remarkable.
Especially at this sensitive time.
"I don't know you, but someone does. That person asked me to ask you if Taohong's body is pretty?"
Wang Hao looked at Tie Niu with a teasing smile, but he didn't intend to reveal his identity. After all, this period was too sensitive, and it was better to be cautious.
Elder Chu had specifically instructed him not to reveal the Thousand Faces Divine Technique to anyone else, as this method of Thousand Faces Divine Technique and alteration would be of great use to his future plans, so it was essential to keep it a secret.
