Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

Zhao Xu smiled.

Grab the edge of the table with one hand and pull it upwards.

"Click."

With a slight sound, the stone table moved up a few inches, and the sound of friction from a mechanism could be heard from under the table.

When the art of government reaches a certain level, the focus shifts to controlling people's hearts.

Zhao Xu turned the round table. After a series of mechanical sounds, a concave space appeared on the floor not far from the stone table, with a small copper jar inside.

He was somewhat excited because the evil emperor's relics were hidden inside.

The round relic is sealed in a copper jar filled with mercury. The density is so high that the small jar weighs more than 100 kilograms.

Zhao Xu sensed the contact and immediately felt an evil spiritual power emanate from it, and countless bloody and horrific scenes emerged in his mind.

"Humph!"

He snorted softly, and a surging sword intent flashed through his mind, washing away the strange vision.

The evil emperor's relics have the ability to store human essence and vitality.

Therefore, when the time comes for the evil emperors of every generation to die, they will inject their own vitality and essence into it, and the young evil emperors will specialize in studying methods to extract it, and this continues generation after generation.

This process will naturally cause the residual thoughts, evil spirits, and deathly energy that contain their will to enter the relics.

Moreover, these people are all masters of their generation, and their residual thoughts, evil thoughts and other special powers are very powerful.

The combination of these strange forces has created the danger of the Evil Emperor's relics today.

Now that it is blocked by mercury and the copper jar, it can still affect Zhao Xu, which shows its power.

Some people who have insufficient cultivation and weak mental will may have suffered mental collapse and turned into lunatics after experiencing what just happened.

Although the evil emperor's relics are extremely strange and mysterious, there are still countless practitioners who flock to them because of the huge vital energy and essence contained in them.

There are countless extraordinary skills and techniques in this world, and there are also many methods that absorb the skills of others.

No matter how powerful the skills are, the true Qi of others will always be incompatible with your own. If you absorb them indiscriminately, the hidden dangers will be alarming.

Zhu Wusi, the Iron-Hearted Godly Marquis, is a typical example.

Taoism has three origins, which, for humans, are essence, energy and spirit, as well as primordial essence, primordial energy and primordial spirit.

Among them, Yuan Jing is the foundation, and Yuan Qi and Yuan Shen can be improved through Yuan Jing cultivation.

Yuan Qi and Yuan Shen are influenced by personal spiritual will during the cultivation process, and they vary greatly from person to person, but Yuan Jing is the foundation of life and there is no disagreement.

The evil emperors of all generations were at least supreme grandmasters. Their vital energy and essence were not only huge but also of extremely high quality.

The huge amount of vital energy can greatly increase one's skills, but Zhao Xu is not interested in it.

What he was jealous of was the essence hidden in it, something that could enhance the essence of life.

Zhao Xu now has many magical skills and unique knowledge in his hands. If he adds this huge amount of Yuan Jing to help him, he will definitely be reborn and his strength will increase greatly after practicing for a period of time.

His throat couldn't help but move due to such stimulation.

It took him a long time to suppress the boiling in his heart and calm down.

Now, the time to take out the evil emperor's relics for cultivation is not yet ripe.

The spiritual power contained in the evil emperor's relics has a wide range of influence. Once it leaves the mercury and copper jar, the masters hidden in Daxing City will definitely sense it.

The Evil King, the Queen of Yin and others were all here, and Zhao Xu didn't want to get himself into trouble at this critical moment.

A smooth transition period is needed.

Zhao Xu lifted the copper jar, and as soon as it touched, a chilling aura of death, evil, and spiritual power rushed towards him.

He activated his skills, his sword intent rose, and added a layer of sword energy to the surface of the copper jar, completely blocking these strange forces.

Everything was stable. Zhao Xu followed the secret passage to the outside of Daxing City and hid the evil emperor's relics in a secluded place.

For the next month, he lived a secluded life.

In addition to treating You Chuhong, Zhao Xu spent most of his time comprehending the martial arts.

The techniques such as the Dao Heart Planting Demon Method, the Extraction of Essence Method, the Sun-Changing Method, etc., all required him to polish them in detail.

Of course, he also met with Shan Meixian from time to time to discuss the transfer of the treasure house.

With the current manpower and speed, it will take more than a month to completely remove it from Daxing City.

After that, it would be necessary to use the channels of the Dongming Sect and the Haisha Gang to move these things to Ryukyu in batches and then transport them to the East Continent by sea.

The time came to July.

The sun shines brightly every day, and the hot summer unleashes its full power.

After a month, Zhao Xu finished his treatment at Dugu Clan, and You Chuhong's illness had been cured.

All that's left is to follow the prescription Zhao Xu gave you.

Zhao Xu politely declined the Dugu family's invitation to stay, returned to the inn, and said frankly that he would leave Daxing soon.

Dugu Feng was the most reluctant to leave. In just over a month, the two of them got along very well, and she gained a lot from Zhao Xu's swordsmanship instruction.

At this time, Zhao Xu had done a favor for the Dugu family, so naturally he had to give him a lot of gifts to repay his kindness.

The Dugu family was never stingy when it came to houses and money.

In this way, Zhao Xu had an extra house in Daxing City and Luoyang City, and a stack of silver notes commonly used in the East Continent in his hand.

Zhao Xu's original plan was to live in Xiji Garden until the treasure house was moved.

But the emergence of a new situation forced him to change his original plan.

This matter has to start with Shan Meixian.

As her mother, Zhu Yuyan would still pay attention to her daughter from time to time.

After arriving in Daxing City, Zhu Yuyan focused her attention on Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu hadn't made any special moves, but she unexpectedly met Shan Meixian.

The relationship between Zhao Xu and the Dongming Sect is well known.

Shan Meixian's appearance in Daxing City made Zhu Yuyan alert and thought that things were not simple.

late at night.

Shan Meixian's place.

Zhao Xu and Shan Meixian sat together.

At this moment, Shan Meixian looked a little anxious. She fixed her eyes on Zhao Xu and said:

"It will take about ten days to complete it completely, but now the Yinkui Sect has set its sights on me, and they will soon discover the secret!"

Although Zhao Xu's expression was serious, he was not panicked. As soon as he received the news, he drew up a plan.

He patted Shan Meixian's jade hand and asked:

"Have you confirmed Bian Bufu's whereabouts in recent days?"

Hearing Zhao Xu's question, Shan Meixian was surprised at first, then came to her senses and asked softly:

"what do you mean?"

Zhao Xu nodded and said:

"I decided to take action against him in the coming days, openly and with great fanfare, to attract all attention."

Shan Meixian was surprised at first, then thought about it and said:

"If only one side doesn't lose, it won't last too long!"

Zhao Xu looked calm and continued:

"This is just the first step. The real trump card is the Demon Sect's greatest treasure, the Evil Emperor's Relic."

"what!"

As soon as the news came out, Shan Meixian stood up and asked quickly:

"The holy relic is in your hands now?"

After a brief surprise, she quickly regained her composure.

Shan Meixian has witnessed many miracles from Zhao Xu, and her heart has also "grown a lot bigger."

Seeing her recover, Zhao Xu continued:

"Getting rid of Bian Bufu can temporarily disrupt Yin Kui for a few days."

"After that, I will expose the aura of the evil emperor's relic at the appropriate time. This will take two times. That's enough time!"

Shan Meixian looked worried.

"There are many masters in Daxing City now. It will be difficult for you to escape!"
