Chapter 303: The vast destiny of mountains and rivers, the great road of the emperor (asking for monthly tickets)

That breath was vast and majestic, carrying a sense of righteousness. When it fell on Li Guanyi, Li Guanyi, who was originally exhausted, suddenly recovered quickly and did not stop until he reached his peak.

He is still at the fifth level of cultivation and has not made any breakthrough.

This huge tripod roared nine times.

The fortune of the mountains, rivers and people, which had been upgraded step by step by the ancient red dragon and Li Guanyi through the pacification of the aristocratic families, military parades, the standardization of wheel gauges, writing systems, and weights and measures, now flowed into this huge bronze tripod like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea.

One of the Nine Cauldrons was shining brightly, and the map of mountains and rivers on the cauldron was glowing, and its power became more vast and majestic.

Suddenly there was a loud roar.

The majestic fortune of the mountains, rivers and people gathered together and transformed into a pillar of fortune light.

It gushed out from the cauldron and surged towards the sky. At this moment, all the sorcerers and alchemists who mastered the art of observing qi looked up in astonishment, looking at this magnificent scene. The many methods they had learned were completely unable to explain such a change.

Li Guanyi felt that this change was somewhat familiar. After just a little thought, he knew. Wasn't it just like the Jiuzhou Ding was in his body, absorbing the vital energy emitted by Brother Yue and the others, and when it was full, it would reverse and pour into his body?
"I see……"

Li Guanyi removed his hand from the bronze tripod, staggered two steps, sat on the ground, exhaled, and watched the Nine Provinces Tripod merge into the trajectory of the destiny of the mountains, rivers and people. He completely relaxed and said to himself:

"The way I used it before was totally wrong."

"Have I forgotten to use the Jiuzhou Ding to assist a person's cultivation?"

"What do these three words 'Jiuzhou Ding' mean?"

"This is not a legend that is associated with personal bravery."

"It's an exaggeration to use a butcher knife to kill a chicken. This is like my great-grandfather killing a mosquito..."

Li Guanyi felt both tired and satisfied.

The mind is clear and empty.

"What can truly satisfy the Nine Provinces Tripod is not a martial arts master, the power of a legendary person like the Ancient Red Dragon, and not the unrivaled sword will of my great grandfather, but the spirit of the people and the country."

"He shouldn't be reversing the gathered energy into my body to improve my cultivation."

"Instead, like now, we gather the vital energy that would have otherwise dissipated unconsciously and wasted between heaven and earth, and then purify and strengthen it with the power of divine weapons, and finally return it to the people."

“It’s like [gathering food] and [cooking].”

"It's a tripod after all."

Li Guanyi stretched out his hand, clenched his five fingers together, and laughed heartily:
"Establish a place to support the people!"

“That’s the way!”

"idiot."

Li Guanyi heard a curse, and then saw the silver-haired man over there with his arms crossed over his chest. The whale fisherman perfected the Murong family's Earth Core Furnace Formation, looked at Li Guanyi, raised his hand and pressed Li Guanyi's shoulder, and knew that this kid was still at the fifth level.

Hey, this kid is so stupid, he didn't get anything good.

The whale fishermen should have laughed at it.

The more unlucky this kid is, the happier he is.

But at this moment, he was extremely angry.

There was a feeling of disappointment, he gritted his teeth, sneered and mocked: "It's a pity that this matter has been done. You didn't follow the path of "Emperor's Divine Art" and you are still in the fifth heaven."

"If you were willing to practice the 'Son of Heaven's Divine Art', you would have reached the sixth level by now."

"Gathering the [Emperor Dragon Qi], it has strengths in both attack and defense."

"In the future, as your territory grows, your people will be larger and more numerous."

"Master, this barrier that stops 90% of the warriors is not a problem."

"Unlike you now, you've put in so much effort but got nothing. Is it worth it?"

Li Guanyi was trying to figure out the operation of the Jiuzhou Ding and the reason for his previous rapid improvement in cultivation. He tilted his head and said, "Senior, are you concerned about me?"

Veins bulged on the whale fisherman's forehead.

"fart!"

Li Guanyi laughed out loud. He leaned against the furnace, which had calmed down again. He was exhausted but satisfied. "I didn't ask for this in the first place. The current situation means that the people's luck has not been taken away by me. This is very good."

The silver-haired whale fisherman looked at him. "Is it worth it?"

Qin Wuhou stretched out his hand and said softly:

"I also want to ask 'them' this question."

"But I will answer you this way."

"Why should I care whether what I do is worth it or not in the eyes of the world?"

"The spirit of our generation is not understood by the common people. If they say it's not worth it, is it really not worth it? Who says it's not worth it? The world keeps moving forward, just because of people like us, doing things that are not worth it in the eyes of the common people."

"not worth it?"

"Ha, bullshit!"

The whale fisherman sneered and mocked: "What's the point of wasting all this effort?"

Li Guanyi replied: "It is because there will be no beggars in the future."

The whale fisherman's expression froze.

Despite this atmosphere, Old Man Siming couldn't help laughing out loud. Even Black Turtle couldn't help laughing. This kid's looks and mouth are really suitable for my Yin-Yang family.

Looks innocent and harmless, but one sentence can pierce through his heart.

No wonder he was raised by Murong Qiu Shui.

It’s no wonder that I, an old man, climbed over the wall to find him.

The whale fisherman sneered. Li Guanyi stretched out his hand, opened his five fingers slightly, and looked at the tripod. He felt his palm sink and a wine gourd was placed in his hand. The silver-haired man was silent and said lightly: "... Although I don't know if you can do it."

"But this character is good."

The atmosphere between the two sides seemed to have eased a lot.

It's not like before, where they were competing against each other.

Li Guan laughed, drank the wine, staggered, looked at the tripod, curious about its use. It took a lot of effort to cast the tripod. He turned around and walked out, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

hum! ! !
The bronze tripod in his body and the nine tripods over there all roared together. The whale fisherman and Sima Ming all heard a low dragon roar. Layers of red scales appeared on the young man's body, and the dragon scales gradually became solid and transformed into the image of a red dragon.

The red dragon image circled around Li Guanyi, raising layers of aura and swimming slowly, with a graceful aura. Then it roared continuously, and suddenly stood up, bypassed Li Guanyi, and rushed straight towards the pillar of luck and light that was one of the Nine Cauldrons.

The red dragon image flew into it.

He did not try to absorb and control the luck, but danced in the light column to guide the flow of luck. There was another sound of sword, and the divine weapon Chixiao Sword appeared in front of Li Guanyi. The Chixiao Sword also fell into the light column, just like the internal space of the bronze tripod before.

Divine weapons, Dharma images, and luck.

The three fit in.

Siming almost pulled his beard off, his expression solemn: "What is this?"

"The Divine Art of the Son of Heaven?"

"No, it's not. Not that overbearing."

He could feel the change in his luck. It did not decrease, but became purer instead.

It is not the way of an emperor who plunders the people to support himself.

But it is the path of being with these mountains, rivers and all the people.

They seem similar, but they are completely different in essence. One is to seize the luck of all living beings and gather it in one person to achieve supreme hegemony; the other is to walk on the road with all living beings and be with all living beings.

Among the infinite fortune, there is brilliant brilliance, gathering the fortune of the people. The people enjoy peace, but they also think of the name of that young man, so there is this change. It is not a one-sided plunder, but a two-way achievement.

The red dragon swam in the pillar of luck and light to guide the luck to rise. It stretched its body, and the dragon's roar became louder and louder, merging with the roar of the giant cauldron, as if heaven and earth were in harmony.

At the same time, it resonated and changed with the Scarlet Sky Sword.

Eight hundred years ago, the first Red Emperor was extremely heroic.

However, after eight hundred years of existence, the Chidi lineage finally began to undergo some changes.

Such changes will also affect the Chixiao Sword.

On the Scarlet Sky Sword, light flowed, washing away bit by bit the negativity accumulated over eight hundred years, while the red dragon's long roar continued. Li Guanyi noticed and expected a golden-red energy to surge out from within the Nine Cauldrons.

That was the vast vital energy originally absorbed from the ancient red dragon.

And the 800-year lifespan of the ancient red dragon.

This force directly poured into the red dragon's Dharma image.

With this power, the Red Dragon Dharmakaya roared, its scales layered up, glowing with light and blazing with fire. Finally, the flames gradually subsided, and the Dharmakaya's scales actually took on a hint of gold, rising in this aura, which was invaluable.

There seems to be an imperial bearing.

Then, together with the magic weapon, it flew towards Li Guanyi and poured into Li Guanyi's body.

Li Guanyi's fifth-level peak internal energy surged instantly.

The roar of dragons never stops, the sound of swords rings loudly, this is the so-called pass.

Break it in one step!
The initial stage of the sixth heaven and the middle stage of the sixth heaven passed in just a moment.

After Old Siming and the whale fisherman blocked the escape of the surrounding aura, they all looked over, and were slightly startled to see Li Guanyi standing there, with his black hair slightly fluttering, and his original red dragon form transformed.

The red dragon's horn extended and became extremely large.

The scales glowed with golden red fire, and a pair of golden vertical pupils calmly looked down at the front.

Old Sima Ming looked at the red dragon's claws.

“Five claws…”

"The scales are golden."

This was the red dragon form of the Red Emperor back then.

The whale fisherman noticed that Li Guanyi's internal energy accumulation had reached the limit of the sixth heaven. It was extremely powerful and domineering, with the red dragon image surrounding him. It was infinitely close to reality and the effect that could be exerted by the seventh heaven master realm.

Above the seventh heaven is the Grandmaster realm, which is a watershed.

He stopped countless warriors from the sixth level.

For example, in the list of divine generals.

Except for a few people like Ling Pingyang, the generals in the top 100 of the Divine Generals List all have internal energy level of the sixth level of the sky. Even among the generals and commanders who are not qualified to be among the top 100 famous generals in this chaotic world, some have honed their sixth level of energy for decades.

However, the generals at the Grandmaster level are already in the top 30 on the Divine Generals List.

During the three hundred years of turmoil, only this number of people were killed in the fighting.

You can see how difficult it is.

To reach this step, one can no longer rely on a pure foundation and strong internal energy. It requires a pure state of mind and various opportunities, which is extremely difficult.

But despite this, the Whale Fisherman and Sima Ming could feel that although Li Guanyi's foundation was at the sixth level, it was in an extremely heavy state. After a long time, the sound of the cauldron gradually subsided.

The golden-eyed, five-clawed red dragon slowly circled, staring at the whale fisherman, Sima Ming, and then turned from real to virtual, slowly dissipating and hiding into Li Guanyi's body.

Li Guanyi restrained his Dharma appearance, clenched his fists, and hesitated.

He looked at the whale fisherman and said, "I have made a breakthrough, Senior."

The silver-haired man was silent.

Speechless.

..............................

The whale fisherman, Murong Longtu, and Old Sima Ming explored Li Guanyi's condition and confirmed that he had no problems. With the help of the three and the confirmation of the charm of the Jiuzhou Ding, Li Guanyi basically understood his current condition.

He broke through by following the reason of casting the cauldron and gathering the vital energy.

It's not the "Emperor's Divine Art".

However, due to various reasons, he possessed the Red Dragon Dharmakāya, the Red Sky Sword, and the power of the mountains, rivers, and people, and instead formed a form of expression similar to that of "The Divine Art of the Son of Heaven".

Pseudo-Emperor's Divine Power!
The Scarlet Sky Sword now revealed its true form, and it became more and more manipulable; and the Scarlet Dragon Dharmakaya also transformed, with each punch and kick being much more powerful than before, and even the temperature of the flames sprayed by the Dharmakaya increased significantly. And because of the Nine Cauldrons.

Li Guanyi can also get the blessing of the mountains, rivers and people.

In other words, within the territory under one's command and elsewhere.

Li Guanyi can display strength at two levels.

In today's Jiangnan, with peace all around, the noble families all fear and obey, and the people loving him, Li Guan's reputation is extremely high, and the young man feels that he is now terribly powerful.

Li Guanyi estimated that even if the older brother came, he would be pressed into the ground by Li Guanyi.

However, if Li Guanyi leaves the Nine Dings area of ​​Jiangnan, the territory of Jiangnan and the people who support him, his strength will decline rapidly and he will become a sixth-level warrior with a slightly solid foundation.

That's how big the impact of the gap is.

According to the discussion with Yan Daiqing, the head of the farming family, after the casting of [One of the Nine Cauldrons], it was indeed possible to feel the improvement in the growth rate of crops, but it did not reach 10%.

But compared with the entire Jiangnan area of ​​more than 2,000 miles, it is already a huge improvement.

The farmers were almost ecstatic.

He then asked the leader of the Motian Sect, Ximen Hengrong. Ximen Hengrong was surprised and went to confirm. He found that the child's progress in martial arts seemed to have accelerated a little.

Even Lei Laomeng said that it was no wonder that pigs were growing so fast recently.

Old cows produce more milk.

I can eat more meat during the Chinese New Year!

Li Guanyi seemed to be thinking about something, and wrote a letter to the leader of the Mohist school who was still in the academy, saying that casting a giant magic weapon might make people's lives richer, but he was uncertain about many impacts, and hoped that the leader of the Mohist school could come and take a look.

His words were sincere and he was humble like a junior asking for advice from his elders.

The leader of the Mohist school came with joy.

Originally he thought it was just a simple instruction, but when he was sure that this giant tripod would absorb and exhale vital energy and give it to the people, which would bring various benefits to the whole Jiangnan state, the leader of the Mohist school fell into a daze, as if his brain had been baptized by some kind of storm.

Dull, thoughtful, doubtful.

In the end, I just sat down here and refused to move.

go back?

What are you going back for?
This is my home!

In just a moment of understanding the power of this magic weapon, the Mohist leader, who had previously been calm and composed with the demeanor of a master, suddenly had red eyes and stared at the giant cauldron that was absorbing and exhaling vital energy to confirm the ability of the magic weapon.

"Is the Su Wang urging you? What are you urging me for, you old bastard!"

"Just say I'm not here!"

"I need to think about it."

Finally, one of the six palace masters of the academy stroked the Nine Cauldrons with his hand, his expression moved:
"Nine Cauldrons... is that so? I want to find out what can be added to the Nine Cauldrons to make them more effective. There must be a way to determine it, and then I can specifically enhance the power of the Nine Cauldrons."

"It's just that this kind of artifact is a national artifact."

"Such a valuable weapon cannot be given to others."

"You shouldn't leave it to me..."

Li Guanyi said: "I am just in need of your help, sir."

The Mohist leader was slightly stunned.

Seeing Li Guanyi reaching out his hand to press the giant tripod, he said, "This thing was cast for the benefit of the people. If I keep it to myself, wouldn't it be a waste?"

He bowed to the Mohist master and said slowly:

"The great scholar studied the nature of man and nature, while the Mohist school loved all and did not attack others."

"Thank you, sir."

"Let the Nine Cauldrons be used to the greatest extent possible for the benefit of the people."

The Mohist leader looked at him for a long time, then stood up and straightened his clothes.

He replied, "I dare not disobey your command."

Li Guanyi and the leader of the Mohist school hit it off immediately.

Although he forged the Nine Cauldrons himself, he could also make the Nine Cauldrons absorb and exhale luck.

However, when it comes to more detailed adjustments and improvements, he is certainly not as good as these Mohist students. On that day, a Mohist master, one of the six palace masters of the academy, stayed next to one of the Nine Cauldrons. The old master almost saw the possibility of the ultimate ideal of the Mohist school.

The giant sword of the Mohist school was placed directly at the door.

Who dares to take these Nine Cauldrons?

You will have to face the wrath of the first leader of the Mohist school.

Li Guanyi was relieved and could prepare to go to the Western Regions. One of the Nine Cauldrons absorbed and exhaled vital energy. After the ancient red dragon helped that day, it left for some reason, but Li Guanyi could vaguely feel that there was a subtle connection between this Nine Cauldron and the ancient red dragon.

The Qilin Army and Tiance Mansion have already decided on the people they will select to accompany Li Guanyi to the Western Regions.

We are all preparing at this moment.

Li Guanyi himself was flipping through his great-grandfather's sword manual, learning a few more sword techniques so that he wouldn't be short of resources when he went to the Western Regions. He was blessed by the Nine Cauldrons in the south of the Yangtze River, so even ordinary sword techniques had incredible effects.

The situation is different if you leave the range of Jiuding.

"Unless, a tripod is also cast in the Western Region."

Li Guanyi flipped through the sword manual, thinking aimlessly in his mind. He could feel that although Jiangnan Ding was powerful at the moment, there was a feeling that it was not enough, a feeling of incompleteness and imperfection.

This is also normal.

The Nine Cauldrons of Jiangnan are only one-ninth of the spiritual imprint of the Nine Provinces Cauldron in Li Guanyi's body, mixed with the luck of the mountains, rivers and people, and are definitely not perfect and real enough.

"What if we could also forge the Jiuzhou Ding in other places?"

"If the Jiuzhou Dings in different places are connected to each other, will something special happen?"

"resonance?"

"If the whole world is divided into nine parts, they would all be named Kyushu."

"If we can get the support of the people from all over the country, mix the gold and iron from the Nine Provinces, and cast nine large tripods, each carrying one-ninth of the charm of the Nine Provinces Tripod, and then place them in various places in the world, this formation of luck that covers Jiangnan can also cover the entire world, right?"

"The world will be unified, the four seas will be united..."

Li Guanyi supported his chin and thought aimlessly.

stamp!
A finger poked Li Guanyi's forehead.

Cool.

Li Guanyi was awakened from his thoughts. He raised his head and saw a girl in an astrologer's robe squatting in front of him. She dipped her fingers in water and tapped his forehead gently. The silver-haired girl said in a quiet voice:
"Aunt wants you to go."

"She cooked for me today."

"Okay."

Li Guanyi smiled and nodded.

After casting the Nine Cauldrons, Li Guanyi became very busy. He was either in the Tiance Mansion or next to the Nine Cauldrons. Now that the Nine Cauldrons had completely settled, it was time for him to go and meet his aunt and the others. However, when he stood up with a smile, Li Guanyi's eyes froze slightly.

He looked over there at the silver-haired girl.

It seemed that it was because of the casting of the Nine Cauldrons, or because he was in Jiangnan, or because he was now equipped with the [Pseudo-Emperor's Divine Power], Li Guanyi's pupils naturally had a warm charm, and he saw things that he could not see before.

Yaoguang had a layer of soft starlight on her body.

Bright and clear.

Just like how she felt.

But in the midst of the starlight, there was another ray of inky light. This light was hidden in it, and it gave a faint feeling similar to [Qiyun] and [Ten Thousand People]. Only after Li Guanyi had the Qi of Ten Thousand People and the power of the Nine Cauldrons could he sense it.

Even Sima Ming, the martial arts legend Murong Longtu, and the Whale Fisherman seemed unable to detect this thing.

How did Yaoguang get this?
Li Guanyi lowered his eyes slightly, then he reached out and grabbed the girl's hand that was poking his forehead.

Then stand up.

When they first met, Li Guanyi was not much taller than Yaoguang.

Now he stood up, and the girl could only reach the height of his chest. Li Guanyi held Yaoguang's palm with his left hand, his eyes just staring at the turbid luck of the people on Yaoguang's body, and stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the girl's head.

The silver-haired girl froze.

Li Guanyi's fingers grasped the inky light. In an instant, the Nine Cauldrons roared. Li Guanyi seemed to hear the voices of countless people chanting in different languages. The voices seemed to come from a faraway place.

There is a desert and raging sand there.

There are scattered sects hiding in different places.

Li Guan knew the origin of this thing in an instant——

【Demon Sect】

Combining what the whale fisherman said, Li Guanyi immediately knew the origin of the thing on Yaoguang. Within the range of the Nine Cauldrons Divine Weapons' luck formation, Li Guanyi's perception was greatly enhanced, and he concentrated his mind and heard a series of subtle sounds.

Two people, a man and a woman, were talking.

The man asked, "Have you got your weapons?"

The woman said calmly, "He will come, don't worry. According to our information, that [weapon] is with the popular Qin Wuhou for some reason. And judging from the current situation, there is an 80% chance that Qin Wuhou will come to the Western Regions."

'You know it well'

The woman sighed, "It's not that I can see clearly. Before it happened, I couldn't come up with a strategy. But now the world situation has changed to this level, it's not difficult to come up with an afterthought."

"It's just that the strategy was proposed before the incident happened, and the hindsight after the incident has already made the difference between a genius and a mediocrity."

The old man said: "Hey, no matter what you say about mediocrity or genius."

"We imitated the method of [Son of Heaven's Divine Art] and used that [material] as a carrier of a divine weapon. We transformed the people's support that my Holy Church had accumulated over hundreds of years into luck and poured it into her body. That girl will become a master of the world."

"Become a tool of my Holy Church who has no feelings and only knows how to obey orders."

"It's a pity that her emotional fluctuations were just wiped out when it was broken. Even if the whale fisherman was more thorough, he couldn't kill us all. I don't know how many disciples of the Holy Church there are, and he can't kill them all."

"He hid the [weapon] in the three secluded sects and killed people everywhere. But so what? If the [weapon] came to the Western Regions with Qin Wuhou, as long as we step into this place, we will be able to find the traces left by the previous grand ceremony and control it."

The woman asked, "What about the whale fishermen?"

The old man sneered: "There is a saying from the great fortune-telling family that the whale fisherman can die at the hands of his daughter. If that [weapon] attacks the whale fisherman, the whale fisherman will not fight back immediately."

'The beggar who had been displaced all his life finally died in the hands of his daughter'

'I have no regrets'

They talked about weapons.

But he didn't know that this connection was known by Li Guanyi, who was entrusted with the spirit of the mountains, rivers and people. Li Guanyi lowered his eyes slightly.

The silver-haired girl raised her head and looked at him quietly, her eyes clear.

"When do you want to touch it?"

Li Guanyi was slightly startled, then smiled slightly: "There is a bug on your head."

He raised his hand and linked his fingers.

The majestic sword power of the Scarlet Sky Sword transformed into a golden-red glow.

Cut lightly.

At the same time, the luck of more than 2,000 territories in the south of the Yangtze River rose from the Nine Cauldrons and gathered on this body in an instant. With just one sword, he cut off the flowing light. The magnificent aura of the Scarlet Sky Sword reversed and rose, and it did not stop, following the flowing light.

At the same time, in the secret realm of the Western Region Demon Sect, an old man and a woman were discussing the past. They just wanted to control the [weapons] to complete the plan accumulated over hundreds of years, but at this moment, they suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The control over the weapons maintained within the formation was suddenly broken.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and suddenly saw the inky stream of light representing the wishes of all the people of the Demon Sect's followers suddenly burn up. At the same time, there seemed to be a sound, indifferent, plain, vast and boundless, falling from the wishes of all the people -

"cut!"
