Chapter 3 Han Dulong

Xuan country.

As one of the vassal states granted when Emperor Yu of Xia divided the country into nine states, although it was not strong, due to its long-standing marriage strategy, it got along very well with several surrounding vassal states.

The contemporary Marquis Xuanbo is named Han Wu. Because he married the sister of the previous King of Xia, he is highly valued by the contemporary King of Xia, Lugui, and is one of the King of Xia's confidants.

The surname Han originated from the surname Ji, and its source is Zique, the 29th generation grandson of Emperor Huangdi.

He and the current King of Xia, Lugui, are of the same origin.

The Xia Dynasty was founded by Yu the Great, one of the Five Emperors. After he successfully controlled floods and established his rule over the Nine Provinces, Yu the Great wanted to abdicate the throne to Boyi. However, more people supported Dayu's son Qi. Therefore, Qi inherited the throne from Boyi and became the second monarch of the Xia Dynasty. From then on, the hereditary monarchy was implemented.

Xia Yu's real name was Si Wenming.

The origin of the surname Si is actually the surname Ji. Xia Yu was the great-grandson of Zhuanxu and the sixth-generation great-grandson of Huangdi Xuanyuan.

His father's name was Gun and his mother was Xiu Ji, a woman from the Youshen clan. After Yu made great contributions in controlling the floods of the Yellow River, he succeeded the throne to the throne after Shun abdicated. He then established his rule over the nine provinces and retired after his success.

Therefore, the current Marquis Xuanbo Han Wu and the current Wang Lugui are both descendants of Emperor Huangdi.

"Second brother, what's wrong with you?"

In the courtyard of Marquis Xuanbo's mansion, a young man in luxurious clothes cautiously pushed Han Yi, who was also Marquis Xuanbo's illegitimate son.

"Nothing!" Han Yi came back to his senses, forced a smile on his face, looked at the young man in front of him and said, "I'm thinking about something!"

After saying that, he ignored the young man and walked straight towards his current residence.

The six hundred years seemed like a fleeting dream, lingering in Han Yi's mind. However, Han Yi was very sure that it was not a dream!
I really went back to six hundred years ago, to the period when the last king of the Xia Dynasty, Si Lugui, who was later known as the tyrant Jie of Xia, ruled.

"But why this time?"

Han Yi was puzzled.

The first time he traveled from the future was at this point in time.

Now, with the help of the mysterious ancient mirror, we have returned to this time point again.

His current identity is the second son of the contemporary Marquis Xuanbo.

As for the young man who greeted him before, he was his half-brother Han Xin.

His adoptive father, as the contemporary Marquis Xuanbo, naturally had no shortage of wives, concubines and children. He had a total of ten sons and six daughters, which could be considered a large family.

In this era, daughters were often the objects of arranged marriages, and arranged marriages would begin when they were fifteen or sixteen years old at the latest.

Therefore, there are only ten sons serving Han Wu now.

What’s the name?
It is more casual and is arranged according to the order of the heavenly stems Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren and Gui.

It is not that Han Yi's current identity is completely useless. After all, he is a descendant of Emperor Huangdi and the son of Marquis Xuanbo. He still has quite a status among the human race.

But that’s all!
As a bastard, under normal circumstances, he would not be able to inherit the throne of his adoptive father.

What's more, the Xia Dynasty was about to collapse. In about twenty years, it would be replaced by the Shang Dynasty established by Cheng Tang. The current king of the Xia Dynasty, Si Lugui, would become the king of a fallen country and the tyrant Jie of Xia who would be criticized by future generations. The power of the many princes under the Xia Dynasty would also be reshuffled.

According to the original trajectory, Xuan State was ignorant of the destiny and colluded with King Jie of Xia. Eventually, it would be jointly wiped out by King Tang and his various princes.

Moreover, if it were in other worlds, Han Yi might have coveted the position of Marquis, but in this primitive world with countless powerful beings and immortals and gods living high in the sky, the secular throne no longer has the slightest appeal to him, even the throne of the Human King.

After all, since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, human kings have not been allowed to practice cultivation. Although they are blessed by the destiny of the human race and the dynasty, and are immune to all evil and hard to be harmed by all laws, they still cannot escape the fate of turning into a handful of yellow earth after a hundred years.

"All I want in this life is immortality!"

After witnessing the magnificence of the immortal way and mastering the powerful ability to call the wind and rain, Han Yi would never be willing to be a mediocre mortal.

Although Han Yi today has no cultivation at all, he has all kinds of experiences from his previous life. In addition, he knows all the major events that will happen in the next 600 years, as well as all kinds of skills and magical powers learned from Jin'ao Island. He is confident that he can return to the realm of true immortals within a few decades.

even……

It is not impossible to hope to achieve one or two Golden Immortals, Taiyi Golden Immortals, and Daluo Golden Immortals.

In his previous life, in the late period of the Conferred God Tribulation, he had already touched the threshold of the Golden Immortal Realm. If Taiyi Zhenren of the Orthodox Sect had not discovered his whereabouts and came to him, he might have already achieved the Golden Immortal!

Having had this experience, it can be said that he will not encounter any bottlenecks before he cultivates to the Golden Immortal realm.

The only thing that troubles him is his qualifications!

But even if one's aptitude is insufficient, one will just be a little slower on the path of cultivation.

Six hundred years of experience, six hundred years of hardships, have already made his heart of Taoism as solid as a rock, and will not be disturbed by the seven emotions and six desires of the world.

Power, wealth, family affection, love...

In his eyes, these things that people in the world are desperately pursuing are no different from dirt!
"but……"

Thinking back on the experiences of the past six hundred years and Taiyi Zhenren's indifferent eyes, he couldn't help but think of his cheap elder brother - Han Jia!
Or, you can also call him Han Dulong!

If his memory is correct, in a few years, his cheap elder brother will be accepted as a disciple by Daoxing Tianzun, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, and become the third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, and be given the Taoist name - Poison Dragon!
The two men have the same father, but their fates are completely different. Han Dulong was born the eldest son and is qualified to inherit the title of Marquis Xuanbo.

However, Han Yi, as a bastard's son, did not have this opportunity.

However, it cannot be said that there is no chance at all. After Han Dulong, the eldest son, was taken away by Daoxing Tianzun, his father had to choose an heir from among his illegitimate sons.

Patricide and parent-killing!
For the sake of his own life, Han Yi would not hesitate even if he had to do it again.

"The human heart!"

It seemed as if the past events came to his mind, causing Han Yi to couldn't help but sigh.

He remembered that before Han Dulong was taken away by Daoxing Tianzun, his father was quite good to him, and his eight younger brothers were also very respectful to him.

Because they all knew that until the law that the eldest son inherited the title was changed, it would be impossible for them to have any chance of inheriting the title of Marquis Xuanbo.

They also did not dare to plot against Han Jia, the eldest son, and risk angering Marquis Xuanbo.

If the truth comes out, they will only face death.

Therefore, the ten brothers are usually quite friendly and respectful to each other.

However, without Han Jia, the eldest son, to pressure them, the ambitions of his eight younger brothers suddenly grew wildly. The originally harmonious scene of brothers being friendly and respectful to each other suddenly turned into a life-and-death struggle for the throne and brothers fighting against each other.

And the source of all this is just the title of Earl!

"Ah!"

Han Yi shook his head, sneered, and began to try to practice the "Shangqing Dadong Sutra", trying to refine his essence into energy and embark on the path of cultivation again.

This technique was created by Master Tongtian and is also the fundamental technique of the Jiejiao sect, pointing directly to the great way to immortality. In addition, with hundreds of years of practice experience, Han Yi quickly completed a cycle.

This technique may not be the strongest, but among the many techniques Han Yi has practiced, it is the most suitable for him as a mortal now.

If you want to practice from a mortal to a true immortal, you need to go through the four stages of refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into harmony with the Tao.

The realm of true immortality is the first big step on the path to immortality.

There are five immortals within the Zhoutian, namely, the celestial immortal, the earthly immortal, the human immortal, the divine immortal and the ghost immortal. These five immortals can be called true immortals, representing five different paths of cultivation.

There are countless powerful beings in the ancient times, so it is naturally impossible for their methods of cultivation to be limited to these five. However, these five are the only great ways recognized by the Xuanmen monks.

Other methods of cultivation are considered unorthodox and are not recognized by the world.

The representatives of the way of celestial immortals are naturally the three saints of the three religions of Human, Chan, and Jie, as well as their many disciples. It is also the method with the largest number of practitioners.

As for the way of earthly immortals, one needs to first open up or refine a blessed land, and one needs to continuously invest resources to improve one's blessed land. The number of creatures practicing the way of earthly immortals is naturally not as large as that of creatures practicing the way of celestial immortals. The representative figure is... Zhen Yuanzi, who is known as the ancestor of earthly immortals.

There are two ways to become immortal.

One is the golden elixir path passed down by Taiqing Laozi when he founded the human religion in his early years.

The other is the martial arts that Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi deduced together with several human sages after he defeated Chiyou in the battle for hegemony by referring to the body-building methods of the Wu clan.

This method can be cultivated into a human immortal, also known as a martial immortal. Many humans practice it, but only a few can achieve success in this area.

It’s not that the Golden Elixir Way and the Martial Arts Way are not good, but both of them test one’s aptitude extremely. It’s easy to get started, but it’s as difficult as ascending to heaven to practice to a high level.

The Great Way of Golden Elixir was created by a saint and is specifically aimed at the innate human race. It is said that the great master Xuandu of the human religion achieved the realm of Golden Immortal after three days of practice.

However, as the human race continued to multiply, the qualifications of the acquired human race became worse and worse, and few creatures could cultivate into the realm of true immortals through the Golden Elixir.

As for the martial arts pioneered by Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi, it has extremely high requirements for the physical body. Without special opportunities and sufficient resources, it is difficult to achieve anything.

This is also the reason why the number of human practitioners is declining nowadays!

Needless to say, the method of immortals is to practice with the help of incense and offerings from the human world. It has great limitations. Without sufficient incense and luck, one can't go far.

As for the representative of ghost immortals, it is the Great Emperor of Fengdu. Except for the ghosts in the underworld, ordinary people are really unwilling to practice this method.

In the eyes of many practitioners, celestial immortals are the strongest, followed by earthly immortals, and then human immortals. As for gods and ghosts, any cultivator with a bit of ambition will not touch them.

Unless those great masters who cannot see the way forward want to break through to a higher level and draw inferences from one instance to another, they will study it a little.

However, there are no absolutes.

There is no strong or weak in the Tao!

More...it depends on the people who practice, and the supernatural powers and magic weapons they possess.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Just as Han Yi was immersed in his practice, intending to complete the process of refining essence into qi first, someone knocked on his door.

"Second brother, are you there?"

The visitor was none other than Han Dulong, who would later be accepted as a direct disciple by Daoxing Tianzun, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox School, and who would eventually die in the Dilie Array and be named the "God of Increasing Blessings". He was also Han Yi's cheaper elder brother - Han Jia!
