The Immortal Sword Descends on the Divine Capital
Human Emperor Seal, Dao-Severing Sword, Samsara Saber ----
With a thought that had been swirling in his mind, Yu Tunzhou realized that the Human Emperor had actually crafted three supreme divine weapons by his own hand!
He had long heard of the Human Emperor Seal Human Emperor Seal, and a fragment of it was hidden in his Dantian.
As for the Dao-Severing Sword and the Samsara Saber ----
The latter reminded him of the Human Emperor's saying about severing the cycle of reincarnation.
This is the saying of the Taicang Long Clan, who said that the Human Emperor once personally severed the cycle of reincarnation, cutting off the channels for all kinds of Immortals and Gods to enter the Central Plains through reincarnation.
If Old Mo went to the Underworld carrying this knife...
Yu Tunzhou immediately believed that Old Mo was a descendant of the Human Emperor's bloodline!
That's quite possible!
The question remains: who was the person who guided Old Mo to his current position when he was still in obscurity?
Can be called a saint----
Yu Tunzhou was suddenly startled.
Of the Human Emperor's Three Corpses suppressed beneath Floating Hill Mountain, one escaped its fiefdom two hundred years ago and its whereabouts are now unknown.
but----
Yu Tunzhou pondered this in his heart.
Huntian had seen fragmented related pieces in the Primordial Spirit fragments of Long Yan, who died on Floating Hill Mountain.
For example, Long Yan once came into contact with one of the Human Emperor's Three Corpses overseas. That Three Corpses was bound to the deep sea by nine giant chains.
Of course, the time difference cannot be determined.
There is another possibility: the title of "sage" is just Old Mo's own description. He may have written it in the comment out of respect, and it does not necessarily mean that the other party really has the strength or status of Sect Master Sage.
The banquet proceeded quite harmoniously after Lü Qingshu left, and all the guests were delighted.
After the event, Yu Tunzhou and Mo Shougui moved into the residence that the Qian Household had arranged for them.
Han Wuj iu and Youyin had finished their interrogation and came to report.
Yu Tunzhou glanced around but didn't see Lü Qingshu. Too lazy to ask where he was, he simply asked, "What did you find out?"
Youyin looked troubled. "This person's Primordial Spirit is bound by a restriction, and the one who set it up is highly skilled. I'm afraid even if my true body were here, I would find it difficult to break through. In the end, I could only choose to force a breakthrough, and only obtained some fragmented memories."
Yu Tunzhou frowned, but didn't take it to heart, saying, "It's alright, just say what's on your mind."
With the cultivation and vision of the Youyin Ghost Immortal, the Primordial Spirit restrictions of ordinary Aristocratic Clan were completely useless. He even broke through the protection within the Primordial Spirit Heaven and Earth of the Xie Lineage members.
The fact that they were unable to break through Lü Qingshu's Primordial Spirit restriction shows that there are still powerful individuals in the Great Yuan who are skilled in the Primordial Spirit path, at least at the level of Immortals and Gods.
Yu Tunzhou asked, "In the eyes of Lü Qingshu and the others, what is Emperor Tianshun's current status?"
"In this person's eyes, the Great Yuan has only one emperor, that Peerless Imperial Lord. As for Emperor Tianshun, he is merely a puppet," Youyin replied. "In Lü Qingshu's understanding, the one who is to become is not only the emperor of the Central Plains and the emperor of the Human Race, but also the ruler of all immortals and the sovereign of all gods!"
"What a prestigious title." Yu Tunzhou squinted.
The throne of the Human Emperor was not enough for this man; he also wanted to rule over all the immortals and gods?
If this person were to actually achieve this, he would likely be an unprecedented "Heavenly Emperor," surpassing even the achievements of the two previous Heavenly Emperor.
"How much does he know about matters concerning Human Dao Fortune?" Yu Tunzhou continued to inquire.
"This person doesn't know much, and it doesn't involve the core details; it's pretty much what he said in the restaurant."
Yu Tunzhou nodded. So it seems...
Is the Great Yuan truly planning to start with Emperor Tianshun, having officials from various departments refine the Human Dao Fortune?
"Human Dao Fortune can be refined on a large scale?" Yu Tunzhou looked at Mo Shougui.
The Star Palace and the Jixia Academy are undoubtedly the most knowledgeable about Human Dao Fortune.
Mo Shougui was solemn as he shook his head and said, "I've never heard of such a thing. Otherwise, dynasties throughout history would have accomplished it long ago. It must be some kind of loophole exploitation method that the emperor secretly researched."
"The treasure left behind by the Human Emperor before his disappearance for the Human Race the Central Plains is the Human Dao Fortune." It is intertwined with the fate and karma of countless people in the Central Plains, and its value and importance are beyond description!
"According to the records of the Ancestral Master, this item possesses the characteristic of neither increasing nor decreasing. Even Dao Lord cannot refine even a trace of it without the approval of Human Dao. And even if someone does refine it, the Human Dao Fortune will return to heaven and earth after their death."
"Since the time High Antiquity the Human Emperor, only successive Sage Emperor have gained the recognition of Human Dao and been able to control the Human Dao Fortune."
"The dynasties that followed in High Antiquity times, though capable of gathering the Human Dao Fortune, had no way to control it, rendering them largely ineffective and mostly mere decorations."
"And the last person to refine the Human Dao Fortune was that Old Wang of the Anguo Ji Clan— "
At this point, Mo Shougui, then said with great regret, "Back then, many people hoped that he could enter the royal family, ascend the throne, and be crowned emperor, believing that he had the potential to become the next Sage Emperor."
o
"It's a pity that the Old Wang was so devoted to martial arts; even when he was refining the Human Dao Fortune, he was trying to find a way to break through his current realm."
"Has the Old Wang received Human Dao recognition?" Yu Tunzhou couldn't help but ask.
Although the key to this is unknown, none of the rulers since High Antiquity times have gained Human Dao recognition. How then did this ruler, whose ultimate goal was martial prowess, gain Human Dao recognition?
"It should be."
At this point, Mo Shougui hesitated and said, "I also heard it from my senior brother and master. This man was once feared by the royal family, yet they had no choice but to rely on his power to suppress the Central Plains."
"In addition----"
"I've also heard a rumor that the Old Wang refined Human Dao Fortune in order to suppress the deity behind the royal family!"
Yu Tunzhou suddenly asked, "Does Star Palace know who exactly is behind the Xiao Household, the Tantai Household, and the Great Yan?"
"The backgrounds of these families in the capital are no secret to the top-tier families," Divine Capital Mo Shougui nodded. "The Jiang Household are descendants of High Antiquity Sage Emperor, possessing the deepest foundation in the Central Plains. It's rumored that they even have Dao Lord in seclusion. The Xiao Household is naturally backed by the Great Emperor Ziwei, and the Tantai Household by the Great Emperor Gouchen."
As for the Great Yan—
Mo Shougui frowned and said, "This aspect is kept extremely secret. The only thing that can be confirmed is that he has no connection with either Daoism or Buddhism."
Why do you say that?
"Because when the Great Yan rose to power, neither Daoism nor Buddhism supported them," Mo Shougui said, shaking his head. "At that time, only the Incense-Smelling Cult supported them. Later, in order to suppress the Incense-Smelling Cult, Daoism and Buddhism supported the Great Yan."
The Yu Tunzhou— it was obvious.
If the deity behind the Great Yan was on good terms with both Daoism and Buddhism, or was itself one of them, then Daoism and Buddhism would have already stood behind the Great Yan.
He paused for a moment, then said, "The Great Emperor Ziwei died at the end of the Primordial Era, so there is someone else behind the Xiao Household."
"As for the Tantai Household, after I entered the Heavenly Court, I witnessed the deities of the Gouchen Divine Pantheon. That Great Emperor Gouchen should still be alive."
"The Great Emperor Ziwei is dead?!"
Mo Shougui looked astonished and exclaimed, "Impossible!"
"The Ziwei Divine Pantheon still exists and is extremely powerful in the Heaven Beyond Heaven. It not only represents the Heavenly Court but also has deep ties with the Daoist School; in fact, it can be considered a branch of the Daoist School!"
"Since High Antiquity, the Ziwei Divine Pantheon has remained very active, and the Four Saints of the North Pole under its rule have all made appearances!"
Yu Tunzhou calmly said, "We saw the corpses of the Great Emperor Ziwei and the other gods in the High Heaven Treasure Hall."
Mo Shougui changed drastically.
He didn't believe Yu Tunzhou would deceive him, but if the Great Emperor Ziwei was already dead, who had been in charge of the Ziwei Divine Pantheon all these years?
True Lord Tianpeng, the foremost of the Four Saints of the North Pole?
He suddenly remembered a legend that the Great Emperor Zhenwu, who had been worshipped by Zhenwu Mountain for generations, was attacked at the end of High Antiquity times and never appeared again. It was said that this matter was related to the Ziwei Divine Pantheon!
In his early years, he was one of the Four Saints under the Great Emperor Ziwei, but later he rose step by step to the height of the Great Emperor Ziwei, surpassing the Four Saints, and completely broke away from them, forming his own sect in Daoist School, and was even given the title of Heavenly Venerable.
Mo Shougui immediately informed Yu Tunzhou of this rumor.
At the same time, his suspicions remained undiminished.
Before the emergence of the Great Yuan, the Xiao Household had been secretly plotting to seize the Three Rankings. They originally thought it was an order from the Great Emperor Ziwei, but the latter was already dead. So who instructed the Xiao Household?
Yu Tunzhou then thought of the old Xuanwu on Zhenwu Mountain.
"The Great Yuan Emperor and the deity behind the Great Yan have chosen to join forces. If we want to deal with the Great Yuan, we must find out the origin and background of that person."
Yu Tunzhou pondered for a moment, then looked up at the southern horizon outside the house. "My agreement with An Ruyu was that I would rescue you, but she has her sights set on the Jixia Academy."
"Does the Jixia Academy possess the Earth Ranking or the Heaven Ranking?"
"It's the Earth Ranking! The Heaven Ranking is in my master's hands, and it's currently being targeted by the Yellow Springs Daoist," Mo Shougui voice. "This person is acting on the orders of the Great Yuan, under the guise of comprehending the Heaven Ranking Heaven Ranking, to ensure that it doesn't disappear from the Star Palace."
Why didn't he just take the Heaven Ranking?
" Among the Three Rankings, the Heaven Ranking has the highest rank, and the artifact spirits within it are also the most powerful. Although they are dormant for many years, once they leave the Star Palace or the Jixia Academy, the artifact spirits will spontaneously awaken to ensure that they do not fall into the hands of villains. Even the Old Wang of yesteryear dared not easily offend this ranking."
Yu Tunzhou, pondering and summarizing what he had seen and heard that day.
Currently, it appears that this single Divine Capital involves the Great Yuan Emperor, the deities behind the Great Yan, and the powerful backers of the Xiao Household, Tantai Household, and Jiang Household.
Back in the Eastern Wilderness, An Ruyu wasn't lying!
This single Divine Capital has involved at least five Immortals and Gods Dao Lord above the level of immortals and gods!
Such a scene, the pressure is overwhelming!
Yu Tunzhou's expression gradually turned serious.
He considered the situation and realized that his side currently seemed to lack any entity of equal strength that could restrain them.
If I had to name one, it would only be the old Xuanwu on Zhenwu Mountain.
Daoist School celestial beings like Kangchengzi have not yet returned, and their influence has not yet extended to the Central Plains.
The only saving grace is that the five Dao Lord were unable to descend at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty; only the Great Yuan Emperor descended with a small amount of his power.
Yu Tunzhou comforted himself, realizing that the only certainty now was that the Great Yuan Emperor and the entity behind the Great Yan had chosen to join forces.
The other companies' backers may not be aligned with them.
Whether it's for the sake of the Earth Ranking or to find out who's behind the Great Yan, he needs to meet with An Ruyu and discuss what other plans this demoness has in store.
Afterwards, Mo Shougui got up to say goodbye and prepared to return to his room to recuperate.
Yu Tunzhou released Jiang Linfan from his sleeve and woke him up, thinking about the current situation in the Divine Capital, especially the conflicts between Divine Capital major Lineage.
Unexpectedly, after realizing he had been captured, the man used Secret Method to seal his own five senses.
Even the Youyin were helpless against this person.
The opponent is Grandmaster of Martial Dao, whose divine will, Primordial Spirit and physical body are united, and who also has the inheritance of Sage Emperor. Even his physical body might not be able to pry out what is in this person's Primordial Spirit Heaven and Earth.
After Yu Tunzhou resealed him, he handed him over to Han Wuj iu, instructing him to send him to the Northern Plains that night and let Jiang Yaxuan deal with this.
people.
After Han Wuj iu left, Yu Tunzhou began to study the Human Ranking and Human Dao Fortune with Huntian.
"This list----"
After observing for a moment, Huntian asserted, "It should only be a part of an artifact, not the complete one."
Yu Tunzhou said thoughtfully, "You mean, the Three Rankings should be combined into one, instead of being separate?"
"We'll have to see the next list before we can draw any conclusions."
Yu Tunzhou nodded. "I'll try."
"As for this Human Dao Fortune —the ' Huntian Sensitive Path,' even this wisp alone grants you a portion of the ' Central Plains Plains' authority, receiving the protection of heaven and earth, making you invincible."
"And the price?" Yu Tunzhou asked. "I've already paid it. Although I preserved this Human Dao Fortune with the Spark Instruction, refining it is extremely difficult. It may seem like there's only a wisp, but to refine even a single strand, it would probably take several years of shaving one's yin."
"How exactly did Emperor Tianshun Human Dao Fortune that day? I heard that he wasn't even at the External Scenery back then."
Huntian folded his wings and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid there's no such thing as refining at all! Although this thing is named after fortune and looks similar, it's actually vastly different!"
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Human Emperor's contingency plan, designed to prevent future generations from having the opportunity to refine and monopolize the Human Dao Fortune."
"Moreover, this thing actually possesses the characteristic of neither increasing nor decreasing—a feature only possessed by beings above the Dao Lord level who have established their own fruition."
o
Only beings possessing characteristics that neither increase nor decrease can simultaneously exist in the past, present, and future, remaining untainted by cause and effect, and enduring countless eons without being worn away.
Huntian suddenly looked shocked, as if he had thought of something absurd. After a long while, he murmured, "The Human Emperor— "
"Would the Human Emperor leave his Great Dao Fruit behind?"
"But how can this be combined?!"
After gathering its thoughts, it spoke again, "From what I observe, this object doesn't seem to be something that can be refined; it's merely something that can be temporarily contained, which is what's called 'enhancing oneself.'"
"Give me some time, and I will study this Yuan artifact. Even the Great Yuan Emperor couldn't figure it out, and my vision is millions of years broader than his, so naturally I can do it too!"
Yu Tunzhou thought to himself, "How could something that none of the Dao Lord after the Human Emperor disappeared have been able to accomplish be so easy? Not to mention that Huntian is Great Sage of the Demon Race, and he can't even be considered a 'human'."
Thinking about it this way, Lü Bairen does indeed have some skill.
No wonder she's called "Hundred Tolerances"!
However, seeing Huntian's high spirits, Yu Tunzhou thought for a moment and decided not to discourage it, but simply reminded it, "Don't let it interfere with your important business."
Huntian's Primordial Spirit has recovered remarkably, reaching the level of Immortals and Gods, and he is ready to reshape his physical body at any time.
Yu Tunzhou had previously attempted to use the channels of the Northern Dark Sea and Northern Plains families to collect Huntian and heavenly materials and earthly treasures for reshaping the physical body.
They should help restore it to its peak level in the Late External Scenery filming.
However, this guy had extremely high standards and was very picky, looking down on those "ordinary things" at all.
"This matter is not urgent."
Huntian's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "A great upheaval in the Central Plains is probably not far off! I will become the first demon immortal in the Central Plains after this upheaval!"
"Fellow Daoist, you should hurry up too."
"After the change of heavens, the beings who are at the forefront will surely receive some kind of gift from the Great Dao, especially the Divine Capital who are at the top of the list."
Since the country's name was changed to the Great Yuan, the Divine Capital has been shrouded in an atmosphere of impending doom.
Led by Ji Yaoyang, the Great Yan faction, with the support of Daoist and Buddhist families, engaged in a fierce struggle with the Great Yuan royal family, which was supported by several major Lineage.
The tense standoff has eased today.
The reason, of course, was that various families in the Divine Capital had received news that Mo Shougui had been rescued.
The Xiao Household, the Tantai Household, and the Jiang Household, who suffered the greatest losses this time, were all shaken by this!
What shocked the Xiao Household the most was that the future of that Emperor, who had established the Dao Lord and determined the origins of the world, had been altered.
This was not only outside of the predictions made by the Jiyuan Academy, but also outside of the predictions made by the Xiao Household!
Upon hearing that the one who made the move was Yu Tunzhou, they immediately guessed that the Dao Lord behind the Grand Purity Lineage had intervened against the Tantai Household.
"Still haven't been able to contact Ancestor Ying Hu?"
The current clan leader Tantai Qingfeng, looked grim. "A lower-level Grandmaster, several Quasi-Grandmaster, and even a grand formation set up in advance—yet they still managed to rescue their people?"
"What exactly is the Jiqi Academy for?! Didn't they say that Yu Tunzhou defeated Xue Wuya entirely thanks to Jiang Wenxuan? Did Jiang Wenxuan also make a move this time?!"
At that moment, a voice transmission suddenly came from deep within the Lineage.
Tantai Qingfeng's expression relaxed slightly when he learned that while Ancestor Ying Hu had retreated, the one who was truly captured by Yu Tunzhou was Jiang Linfan, the newly appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Gold-Wielding Guard of the Jiang Household.
"Heh, the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Gold-Wielding Guard hasn't changed for decades, but it's time for a change again."
He glanced in the direction of the Jiang Household's residence, his eyes filled with mockery.
During this period, the Jiang Household was extremely accommodating to the Great Yuan, treating him as if he were part of the Great Yuan imperial family and his own family. The position of Commander-in-Chief of the Gold-Wielding Guard was also taken away by the Jiang Household.
Those who don't know might think that the emperor of yesteryear was surnamed Jiang, not Lü.
Now that Jiang Linfan has just taken office, has been captured, the Jiang Household has lost all face. He wants to see how the Jiang Household plans to end this!
At this point, he frowned and snorted coldly, "Whether it's the Jiyuan Academy or the Xiao Household, they're all good-for-nothings! Not a single one of them can be trusted!"
"Send someone to continue contacting Ancestor Ying Hu, and tell him not to take any more risks. He can just pretend to cooperate with the demands of those families; there's no need for him to take the fall for others."
The Xiao Household.
Xiao Pihe frowned, staring at the almost unchanging night sky above him, trying to find signs of a changing fate.
However, the stars are dim and the fate is shrouded in mist.
How exactly did Yu Tunzhou rescue Mo Shougui?
Could it really be the Dao Lord behind the Grand Purity Lineage who has made his move?
However, the Venerable God has already delivered a new divine decree, confirming that the Dao Lord of the Grand Purity Lineage who appeared in the Heavenly Court not long ago cannot reappear!
And the thought that their plan targeting the Three Rankings had been ruined by Yu Tunzhou—
Xiao Pihe simply couldn't vent his resentment towards his subject.
He has decided to use the name of the royal family to mobilize the Yellow Springs Daoist to intercept and kill this boy!
Just as Xiao Pihe was making plans, a deafening explosion of metal came from somewhere in the Divine Capital!
He suddenly turned around, heading towards the direction of the palace, his pupils shrinking sharply.
A few breaths after the roar, a gust of wind blew, whipping his robes and making them flutter.
A sword-like slash, resembling a slash through the sky, descended straight down, tearing through the endless Void and shattering the heavens. The sword-like slash had no distinction between left, right, front, or back; everything was shattered!
Someone came from the south on a sword, descending from the sky.
With a flash of the sword, the world is unrestrained.
"Kou Ziling, take this sword!"
