Chapter 61: The most important affairs of the country are sacrifice and war

Refining the void and merging with the Tao is a key step in transforming from a mortal to an immortal. It requires realizing the void, breaking the void, and imprinting the laws of the void on the yang spirit, thereby learning from the heaven and earth, borrowing the power of the heaven and earth to continuously transform one's body, soul, and magic power, so that one can reach the point of being extraordinary and in harmony with the Tao.

"For nine years, I have been facing the wall to nourish my spirit and body, silently and in a trance, as if I were refining myself. I am free without any restraints, and I know when to stop when I am free. My heart is as bright as the sun and the moon, and I am the inside and outside of heaven and earth. It is not easy to break the void, and I have to collect a grain of rice from the six directions."

After several years of practice, Han Yi's soul has changed from yin to yang. Coupled with his understanding of the void of heaven and earth, he is only one step away from entering the realm of refining the void and merging with the Tao!

Now, with the Hedao flower given by Luo Xuan, it is enough for his soul to complete the most critical transformation when it imprints the void and comprehends the heart of heaven.

This Hedao flower was transformed from the Dao essence of the saint when he preached. It contains the mysteries of the Dao and has an unimaginable effect on the cultivators' realization of the Dao.

If the method you practice is the same as that of a saint, perhaps, with the help of the Hedao Flower, when you step into the state of Lianxu Hedao, you may be able to comprehend supernatural powers.

This is because every move of a saint contains the mysteries of the great way; every gesture contains supreme supernatural powers, and contains the power to change the world.

Even if it is just a trace of Tao, it is the embodiment of the great way of the saint.

"Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing!"

At this moment, Han Yi found a secluded place, practiced his skills, and absorbed the Taoist essence from the Hedao Flower, intending to comprehend something from it.

boom!
In a trance, he seemed to see a blue lotus in full bloom. Every petal was composed of the pure immortal energy, sometimes turning into a protective divine light, and sometimes turning into an offensive immortal technique!

The divine light of Shangqing!

This is a method of self-defense recorded in the "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing". It can evolve into fairy light to protect oneself, and can also turn into a thread to defend against the enemy. It is one of the rare methods of both offense and defense among the many mysterious techniques.

Even in the Jiejiao sect, which is known for having thousands of immortals come to pay homage, not every immortal has mastered this magical power.

Because the threshold for the method created by the saint is relatively high.

"It's done!"

Han Yi chuckled, and auspicious clouds appeared above his head, enveloping his soul. He continuously absorbed the power of the void and forged a mysterious Taoist body.

This process cannot be accomplished overnight, but since he has taken the first step, it means that he has broken through to the realm of refining the void and integrating the Dao.

The rest is basically just a matter of hard work!

The primordial spirit roams in the void, absorbing the essence of the heaven and earth, constantly nourishing its own primordial spirit, feeding back to the physical body and magic power, and washing away the dirty air on the practitioner, so that he can transform from mortal to immortal, from acquired to innate, and transform into a pure immortal body, becoming one with the Tao. This is the practice of the realm of refining the void and merging with the Tao.

If one has an innate magical object and comprehends it day and night, or has the opportunity to swallow some innate elixirs, the transformation process can be accelerated a lot.

Han Yi naturally did not have any innate elixir on him, but in the ancestral orifice between his eyebrows, there was an extremely high-quality innate spiritual treasure that exuded the aura of Taoism all the time.

"Kunlun Mirror!"

This time, in the process of communicating with heaven and earth, Han Yi did not comprehend any new magical powers from this innate spiritual treasure with the attributes of time and space.

However, with the cultivation of Lianxu Hedao, he can mobilize the power of heaven and earth to try to refine this spiritual treasure and put his own mark on it.

As long as he can refine an innate restriction, he can activate some of the power of this spiritual treasure, instead of guarding it in vain and being unable to use it!
An extremely high-grade innate spiritual treasure. Even if it cannot unleash its full power, it can make him invincible among the practitioners below the fairyland!

Haven’t you seen that in later generations, Jiang Ziya held the Wu Ji Xing Huang Flag, all evils retreated, and he was immune to all kinds of attacks, and even some Daluo Jinxians were unable to kill him?
Of course, it was Yuanshi Tianzun who, for the sake of Jiang Ziya's safety, took the initiative to remove the restrictions on the spiritual treasure and bless him with the saint's magic power.

otherwise……

With Jiang Ziya's cultivation level, he would not be able to completely refine the Wu Ji Xing Huang Flag even if he refined it for his entire life.

You should know that the essence of the innate spiritual treasure is equivalent to that of a Daluo Jinxian. If you want to completely refine it, the difficulty is no less than killing a Daluo Jinxian!
"Refining!"

Although Han Yi successfully entered the realm of Lianxu Hedao, he did not come out. Instead, he mobilized his magic power and prepared to try to refine a restriction of the Kunlun Mirror.

Of course, with his strength, let alone now, even at the peak of his previous life, it would be impossible for him to completely refine a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Can……

The Kunlun Mirror is now severely damaged, but he believes that refining one or two restrictions should not be a problem!

boom!
Han Yi's magic power was completely devoured as soon as it came into contact with the Kunlun Mirror, but with the continuous infusion of magic power, this magical treasure also began to vibrate slightly.

Obviously, it was resisting Han Yi's refining!

Half a month passed in a flash, and the Kunlun Mirror was still unwilling to be refined by him, but he could clearly feel that with the continuous injection of his magic power, this rejection was constantly decreasing.

If he spends another three or four months, he might be able to refine the first innate restriction.

……

At the same time, the 200,000 troops led by Huang Jian also rushed to the territory of Qian State and joined forces with other princes, intending to fight against the army of the Xia Dynasty there.

The army of Shang and the armies of the princes together number as many as 700,000. In addition, they are defending the city, so their advantage is far greater than that of Lugui's army.

but……

Zhao Gongming, who was following secretly, found something unusual. After several battles, tens of thousands of people had died in the allied forces of the princes, but the army of the Xia Dynasty did not seem to have suffered any casualties.

The most important thing is that he also saw Huo Zheng, who was previously killed by Lu Ya, and Shui Zheng and others who were killed by him personally in the camp of the Xia Dynasty army.

"how come?"

Zhao Gongming was puzzled.

So, he hid in the void and observed carefully, and suddenly discovered that the soldiers of the Xia Dynasty would be resurrected at night after death.

He is the eldest senior brother of Jiejiao's outer sect and is well versed in the methods of refining many kinds of Taoist weapons.

But although those Taoist soldiers have all kinds of incredible abilities, once they are destroyed, they can only be refined again and cannot be resurrected directly.

Therefore, he was very shocked!

Afterwards, he quickly told Huang Jian, who was commanding the army, the news.

Although Huang Jian had the ability to command troops, he was only a mortal after all. He had never seen such a thing before, so he quickly asked, "Master, do you have any way to break this strange magic?"

Zhao Gongming heard this and shook his head, saying, "In the vast wilderness, there are all kinds of strange things. Although I am not well-informed, I have never seen such a strange method before!"

"What should I do then?"

Huang Jian knew very well that if they could not break the opponent's immortal body, no matter how many times they killed him, it would be in vain.

Zhao Gongming said hurriedly: "General Huang, don't worry. You should defend the city first and try not to engage in direct battle. I will go back to Shang State and ask my fellow disciples for advice. Some of them may have seen this method before!"

"Then I'll trouble you, Immortal Master!" Upon hearing this, Huang Jian immediately bowed to Zhao Gongming and said, "Please go quickly and come back soon, otherwise I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for long!"

"Do not worry!"

After Zhao Gongming finished speaking, he immediately rode on the black tiger and disappeared into the sky.

……

On the other hand, since the Marquis of Jizhou and the Marquis of Yongzhou were beheaded, the Xia Dynasty army that had originally gone to Jizhou and Yongzhou to quell the rebellion was finally able to free up time to quell the rebellions of other princes.

Among the Nine Provinces, there were only a handful of princes who were strong enough to compete with the Marquis of Jizhou and the Marquis of Yongzhou. After the ambitions of the two great princes were crushed by Lu Gui, the other princes who followed them in the uprising either surrendered or died. With their strength, they were simply not enough to resist the army sent by Lu Gui.

While pacifying these princes, Lugui also gained a huge amount of wealth, greatly enriched the treasury of the Xia Dynasty, and prepared to start another war.

"When these princes paid tribute in the past, they all said how difficult it was for them and what natural disasters had befallen their territories!" Lugui looked at these treasures and couldn't help but sneered, "Now it seems that those natural disasters were just excuses for them to fool me!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Zhao Liang stood aside, looking at the mountains of treasure, and couldn't help swallowing.

However, looking at Lugui who was in a rage, he could only choose to turn a blind eye and said slowly: "These princes, I'm afraid they have long had the intention of rebellion! That's why they secretly hoarded money and food! Now, the king is so powerful that he will surely put down the rebellion in one fell swoop and let these traitors know... what is the power of a king!"

"Not bad!"

Upon hearing this, Lugui nodded in satisfaction and said, "I plan to use these treasures to hold another grand sacrifice. On the one hand, I will take my strength to a higher level, and on the other hand, I will refine more Shinto heavenly soldiers to completely wipe out the princes! The preparations for the sacrifice will be left to Zhao Qingni!"

The sacrificial ceremony was originally assigned to Xia Geng, but Xia Geng was dead and his soul was destroyed, his body turned to ashes, so even if Lu Gui wanted to turn him into a ghost general, he couldn't do it.

Therefore, he could only choose Zhao Liang, who he liked more among the many court officials!

"My minister, I will live up to the king's trust!"

Zhao Liang was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly bowed to Lugui with a very respectful attitude.

He knew that his abilities were far inferior to Guan Longpan's, and that he could reach his current position only because of his ability to read people's expressions and assess the situation.

He discovered that since Lugui had cultivated himself, his character had become more arrogant, and he also clearly understood that his life depended on the other party's thoughts.

Therefore, he has always been cautious and dared not say a word that would disobey Lugui.

When did sacrifice originate?

Zhao Liang didn't know.

But he knew that since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, successive monarchs of the Xia Dynasty had attached great importance to sacrifices, and those who were in charge of sacrifices were all confidants of the King of Man.

That immortal army was not created by Lugui, but was the foundation and means left for the Xia Dynasty by the previous human kings.

Lugui handed the power of sacrifice to him, which was obviously a sign of his trust in him.

While he was excited, he couldn't help but feel ambitious.

Since Lugui can become a Golden Immortal who is beyond the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements through sacrifice, then do I also have a chance to realize my wish of immortality?
This is what a man should do!
