The First Marquis of Daxuan

Daxuan is an important border town and a strategically located pass.

Everything seemed to have returned to the way it was before the war.

The whole city is full of life.

If there is any difference, it is that Huju Pass now seems to have become an independent little kingdom.

The decrees from the Daxuan court could not even enter Huju Pass.

Everything in Hujuguan revolves around the Hujuguan Taiping Division.

The one in charge of the Taiping Division in Hujuguan is the commander of the Daxuan Taiping Division, Su Mu.

Su Mu sat in the room with his eyes half open and half closed. He quietly called out the system panel.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Position: Weaponsmith (concurrently), Silver-faced Assassin (concurrently), Lord Zhenxi (Lord), Commander (third rank)]

[Points: 9000000 points]

[Realm: Danjie Realm]

[Magic Powers: Immortal Golden Body, Bloody Body, Giant Body]

[Kung Fu: Nine-turn Golden Body Art (Seven-turn Golden Body), Imperial Heaven and Earth Art (Three-foot Golden Body/+), Dragon-Tiger Pill Formation Method (Great Accomplishment/+)...]

[Martial Arts: Duize artistic conception (perfect), Kundi artistic conception (perfect), Zhenlei artistic conception (perfect), Genshan artistic conception (perfect), Kanshui artistic conception (perfect), Qiantian artistic conception (perfect), Xunfeng artistic conception (perfect), Lihuo artistic conception (perfect), Archery (perfect)]

[Special Skill: Source of Qi (Perfect)]

[Vision: Fire Wind Cauldron, Wind and Fire Family, Fire Thunder Shi Ke, Mountain Thunder Yi, Deduction +]

[Skill: Heavenly Artifact Refining Method (Great Mastery)]

Holding on to the Tiger Pass and frantically casting mysterious weapons, during this period of time, the points on the system panel have accumulated to a staggering 9 million points.

Three plus signs appear on the system panel.

One is the Dragon-Tiger Dan Formation Method.

It takes eight million points to advance the Dragon-Tiger Dan Formation Method to the perfect state.

The other one is the Secret of Emperor Heaven and Empress Earth.

After mastering the Art of Emperor Heaven and Empress Earth, for every ten feet increase in the golden body, three hundred thousand points are required, which is equivalent to ten thousand wisps of incense and vows.

Defending Huju Pass brought Su Mu not only points, but also the power of incense and vows.

Now that he is supported by the people of the whole city, Su Mu has accumulated 20,000 incense sticks and wishes, and this number is increasing day by day.

The three-meter golden body can now be upgraded to a five-meter golden body.

If the strength of the Ten-foot Golden Body is increased by one level, the Five-foot Golden Body’s strength is roughly equivalent to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

The last plus sign is on the deduction of the vision.

Vision deduction requires 100,000 points at a time, and there is no guarantee of success. It can be said to be the least cost-effective.

Su Mu’s current strength is very interesting.

His true essence cultivation has reached the great success of the Jindan realm.

However, he has outstanding martial arts skills, has mastered all eight original realms, and has also comprehended four kinds of visions.

If a fight really breaks out, he can completely sweep through the Jindan realm and be invincible.

This only refers to the cultivation of true essence.

But the true essence cultivation is now the weakest part of Su Mu's strength.

In the way of incense and fire, Su Mu's Huangtian Houtu Jue has condensed into a three-meter golden body, and his strength is equivalent to the perfection of the Jindan realm, and the next step is the Yingying realm.

As for the path of physical sanctification, it is temporarily at the forefront.

The seventh level of golden body, the strength is equivalent to the initial stage of Nascent Soul.

Therefore, Su Mu's cultivation level seems to be only at the great success of the Jindan realm, but his overall strength is such that an ordinary person at the initial stage of Huaying would definitely not be his opponent.

It is almost impossible for ordinary martial artists to practice three martial arts at the same time.

Even for Su Mu, it was not an easy task.

Every time he has to face difficult choices.

After all, it was because he didn't have enough points.

If he had unlimited points, he wouldn't have to worry about it and could just take them all.

But earning points is not that easy.

Especially as his strength increases, more and more points are required.

During this period of time, he worked day and night to forge mysterious weapons, but only managed to accumulate nine million points.

This can be considered as making money from the war.

Under normal circumstances, even if he wanted to do this, he would not have so many materials for making weapons.

In fact, the points gained by identity are relatively stable.

Although the points brought by the status of earl and the position of commander are not many every day, they are good in the long run.

As long as you have the identity, the benefits will be there.

Unlike the identity of a weaponsmith, there will be no gain if you don’t forge weapons. If you want to gain something, you have to work like a slave.

Therefore, Su Mu would never give up his official status unless it was absolutely necessary.

If anyone wants to deprive him of these identities, don't blame him for getting angry.

Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents!
"My relationship with Emperor Xuan is definitely not harmonious at all. I'm afraid he wants to kill me right now."

Looking at the content on the system panel, Su Mu said to himself, "If Emperor Xuan only had three points of murderous intent towards me in the previous incident with Gao Ming, then once the map of the Seventy-two Blessed Lands is released, his murderous intent towards me will at least increase to seven points.

What is preventing him from attacking me directly now is my identity."

"I am the commander of the Taiping Division. Although the Taiping Division is under the jurisdiction of Daxuan, it is not so easy for him to get his hands in. Without any evidence, even if he is the emperor, he cannot do anything to me on false charges."

Su Mu is not Yue Fei, nor is he a weak civil servant.

If Emperor Xuan wanted to deal with him, he would either have to send a strong man in the fusion realm to kill him directly, or send a large army to encircle and suppress him.

Mobilizing a large army is not an easy task.

To ensure the killing of a master of Su Mu's level, hundreds of people simply cannot do it.

Unless Su Mu is alone, even the three thousand Shenwu Army cannot do it.

Mobilize 10,000 troops to encircle and suppress Su Mu?

Emperor Xuan is crazy, but the officials in the court are not crazy.

As for sending out a fusion realm to assassinate Su Mu, this is the most likely thing.

There are not many powerful people in the fusion realm in Daxuan, and most of them are impossible to kill Su Mu.

However, there is no guarantee that Emperor Xuan may have some powerful masters in the fusion realm who are unknown to the world.

For example--

Mrs. Yuan!
When he learned that the weapon used by the strong man who killed Liu Feibai might have been made by Madam Yuan, and combined with a series of events that followed, Su Mu suspected that Madam Yuan was related to Emperor Xuan.

The disappearance of Prince Gong Li Chuan made Su Mu's suspicion even more certain.

Mrs. Yuan had a map of the Seventy-two Blessed Lands. After Li Chuan got the map, it was very likely that he had been silenced.

In the Great Xuan Capital City, the only person who can do this is Emperor Xuan.

This can't be a coincidence.

It is very likely that the map of the seventy-two blessed places in Mrs. Yuan’s hand originally came from Emperor Xuan!

Su Mu's speculation is not without reason.

As everyone knows, Daxuan Taizu once entered Taixu. It was because he brought out thirteen treasures from Taixu that he established Daxuan.

The 72 blessed places are closely related to Taixu. Perhaps, the map of the 72 blessed places was left by the Great Xuan Ancestor.

“If Madam Yuan is really related to Emperor Xuan, then I will make the map of the 72 blessed places public this time, and Emperor Xuan will most likely ask Madam Yuan to kill me.

It just so happens that Madam Yuan and I have an old grudge."

Su Mu said in his heart.

Su Mu had already thought of this when he sent Dongfang Liuyun to Hulao Pass to meet Emperor Xuan.

During this period of time, he has been making arrangements in secret.

Madam Yuan is a powerful person in the fusion realm. If she fights alone, no one in Huju Pass can be her match.

Moreover, Madam Yuan is one of the best weaponsmiths in the world. She has countless mysterious weapons and a city of magical weapons that is infinitely close to divine weapons.

This is a strong man who is difficult to deal with.

"Fortunately, Huju Pass is my territory now, and we are all united."

Su Mu pondered in his heart, "The Shenwu Army used the Liuhe Army Formation to counter the Black Scholar. Now I am at Huju Pass and have also deployed an army formation. It won't be a problem to resist Madam Yuan."

Luo An Ning read many books in the Taiping Division's headquarters, many of which included books on military formations.

It was she who came up with the method to break the formation in the first place. Now, she was leading the powerful men entrenched in the pass and had been practicing the military formation for many days.

It would be fine if Madam Yuan didn't come, but as long as he dared to step into Huju Pass, he would fall into the army's formation.

Huju Pass is different from Wuling City. It is a real important border town. The whole city was built for war. Everyone in the city can become a soldier when necessary.

"Although the military formation has been deployed, the stronger I am, the greater the possibility of keeping Madam Yuan."

After thinking for a while, Su Mu returned his attention to the system panel.

“The road gets narrower and narrower.”

Su Mu couldn't help but sigh, "With nine million points, the Dragon and Tiger Dan Formation Method can be upgraded to the state of perfection. In addition, the Emperor Heaven and Earth Technique can be upgraded to the Five-foot Golden Body. The remaining hundreds of thousands of points can be used to deduce several anomalies."

"The Jindan realm is complete, the golden body of the Emperor Heaven and the Empress Earth is comparable to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and the physical body is comparable to the initial stage of the Nascent Soul."

With limited choices, this is already the upper limit of Su Mu's strength.

Without any hesitation, he thought about it and silently clicked on the system panel.

hum!
Su Mu's body shook slightly, and endless information suddenly emerged in his mind.

At the same time, waves of power surged into his body.

The cultivation of true essence began to improve at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After a moment, the Dragon-Tiger Pill Formation Method had been elevated to the perfect level.

For Su Mu, whose physical body had reached the seventh level of golden body, he did not feel much about this improvement.

I just feel that the inner elixir in my body is more complete, and the mobilization of true energy is easier.

The biggest benefit of completing the Dragon-Tiger Dan Formation Method is that he can perform the miraculous effects for a longer period of time.

After completing the upgrade of the Dragon and Tiger Dan Formation Method, Su Mu did not hesitate and began to upgrade the Emperor Heaven and Empress Earth Technique.

The improvement of Huang Tian Hou Tu Jue is simpler than the Dragon and Tiger Dan Formation Method.

As a large amount of information emerged in his mind, the golden body of Heaven and Earth suspended in Su Mu's sea of ​​consciousness began to absorb the power of incense and vows.

The incense and vows flow into the golden body of Heaven and Earth, weaving into the golden body's bones, flesh, and skin.

As the Golden Body of Emperor Heaven and Empress Earth changed, Su Mu vaguely felt that the Golden Body of Emperor Heaven and Empress Earth became more agile.

The golden body of Emperor of Heaven and Empress of Earth is five meters tall, and its strength is equivalent to that of a mid-stage Nascent Soul!

For a moment, among the three roads, Xianghuo Chengshen was walking in the front.

After the upgrade was completed, Su Mu frowned slightly after feeling the power in his body.

Improving strength is a good thing, but the three paths are now somewhat unbalanced.

The improvement of his true essence cultivation was too slow, which made him feel uneasy.

Logically speaking, true essence cultivation is Su Mu's main path, and the other two paths are just auxiliary paths.

Now the two secondary roads are wider than the main road.

This is not a good thing.

"After this crisis, we have to focus more on cultivating our true essence. If our true essence is not cultivated enough, even performing visions will become very difficult."

Su Mu was secretly awakened.

Just after improving his strength, Su Mu heard a knock on the door.

Luo Anning pushed the door and walked in.

"Brother, Dongfang Liuyun just sent a message. As you expected, Madam Yuan is really in Hulao Pass, and she has already left Hulao Pass."

Luo An Ning said with a serious expression, "Mrs. Yuan is too strong, Dongfang Liuyun can't keep up with her, and now Mrs. Yuan has disappeared.

In all likelihood, he has come over to our side."

"How is the city preparing?"

Su Mu nodded and asked calmly.

"There are now 200,000 people in Hujuguan City."

Luo Anning said seriously, "When necessary, everyone can go into battle.

However, most of them are not strong enough to deal with Madam Yuan who is in the fusion realm.

We have counted that among these 200,000 people, 80,000 are ordinary people, and the remaining 120,000 have all practiced martial arts."

This ratio would be almost unbelievable if it were applied to inland cities.

But as I said before, Huju Pass is an important border town, and it can even be said to be a military town.

The people here are either soldiers or their families.

Even if they are here to do business, they all have martial arts skills.

“Among the 120,000 warriors, there are about 100,000 in the Body Tempering Stage. Their strengths range from the first to the fourth Body Tempering Stage.

There are more than 8,000 people in the Rebirth Realm."

Luo An Ning continued, "There are more than a thousand people in the Zhen Yuan Realm."

Hearing Luo An Ning's words, Su Mu couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.

He knew that there were a large number of warriors in Huju Pass, but the fact that there were more than a thousand in the Zhenyuan realm was somewhat beyond his expectations.

A warrior at the True Yuan Realm is as strong as the Pacification Division's Pacifier. If he were to be placed in a local area, he could become a powerful local tyrant.

Back then in Wuling City, there wasn't even a single warrior at the True Yuan Realm.

There are actually more than a thousand Huju Passes.

But think about it, when the Demon Court’s army invaded before, strong men from all over Daxuan came to help.

After the battle, because of Su Mu's large-scale distribution of Xuanbing, many Zhenyuan realm warriors did not return to their hometowns, but stayed in Huju Pass to serve Su Mu.

This is why there are so many Zhenyuan realm warriors in Huju Pass.

"There are too few Jindan realm masters."

Luo An Ning narrated, "So I used the True Essence Realm warriors as the center of the formation, and the Transformation Realm warriors as the main force, and set up the Eight-Gate Golden Lock Formation in the Tiger Pass.

As long as Madam Yuan enters the city, the formation will be triggered immediately.

Even though we won’t be able to kill him by then, it shouldn’t be a problem to force him out of Tiger Pass.”

Luo Anning's face was filled with confidence; she had found her area of ​​expertise.

"The reason why we can do this is because you, Senior Brother, gave them Xuanbing before."

Luo An Ning showed a bright smile on his face, "This is also an unexpected success. If it weren't for you, brother, sending out so many Xuanbing, we wouldn't be able to keep so many strong men. Even if there were so many strong men, without Xuanbing in their hands, they wouldn't be able to exert the power of the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation.

Every sip and every bite is truly mysterious." (End of this chapter)
