Chapter 8 A life on thin ice

Han Jia fell silent.

As for Xuanbo Hou Han Wu, he casually raised the wine glass in his hand, drank the wine in the glass, looked at his many descendants, and said with a smile: "Forget it, let's not talk about this! Today, my father has returned, and we are reunited as father and son. Why should we talk about these things that spoil the fun?"

"Yes!"

Han Bing, who was standing by, immediately echoed, "Don't worry about it, big brother. Father has returned from paying homage to the Human King today, so don't think about these things that have nothing to do with us!"

Han Geng also raised his glass and said, "Let's toast to our father and welcome him back!"

Han Yi also followed everyone and raised the wine glass in his hand.

However, in his heart, he was carefully thinking about what Han Wu had just said, and began to recall his memories of this history from his previous life.

Cheng Tang attacked Xia, gathered troops from various princes, defeated the main force of the Xia Dynasty at Mingtiao, replaced the Xia Dynasty, and established a new dynasty - the Shang Dynasty!
He did not participate in this war in his previous life, but he had heard about it from the Flame Immortal Luo Xuan.

The present Human King Lugui, who will be known as Xia Jie in the future, wants to live forever like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and possess the boundless power to move mountains and fill the sea, and to become the Human Emperor from a Human King. He then takes the blood of the Great Witch and the Golden Crow, and integrates them into himself, helping himself to break free of the shackles that prevented the Human King from practicing, and with the help of the human race's luck, he steps into the peak realm of Daluo in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, he was deposed from his position as the King of Men by Taiqing Laozi, who held the Kongtong Seal, so that he could no longer receive the blessing of humanity.

Afterwards, five powerful masters including Duobao Taoist from the Jiejiao, Nanji Taoist from the Chenjiao, Xuandu Great Master from the Humanjiao, Xuanniao from the Phoenix Clan, and Luya Taoist, a wandering cultivator, joined forces and killed him outside the Xia Dynasty's capital, Zhen'e.

The story of a generation of heroes comes to an end!

The ones who assisted Cheng Tang in ascending the throne of the human king and replaced the Xia Dynasty with the Shang Dynasty were the Xuanniao of the Phoenix clan and the disciples of the Jiejiao with Zhao Gongming as the core.

The reason why Luo Xuan knew this matter so well was because he got the opportunity to enter the realm of Daluo Jinxian during this campaign of helping Shang to destroy Xia.

That's right!

The process of supporting Shang and destroying Xia involved both mundane struggles and the planning of the sages. Except for the fact that there was no great battle at the sage level, in terms of excitement, it was actually not much inferior to the Battle of the Gods.

In the past, when the witches and demons were at great risk, ten suns appeared in the sky. The ten sons of the demon emperor Dijun used the Golden Crow Burning Sky Formation to burn the witch clan's great wizard Kuafu to death.

Kuafu's friend Houyi was furious, so he shot the sun with his magic bow and killed nine of the golden crows, but this also made the conflict between the wizard and the lich imminent.

The Lich Catastrophe broke out!

However, the bodies of the nine fallen little golden crows were scattered all over the prehistoric world and have never disappeared.

After becoming the Human King, Lugui comprehended a method from the "Records of Sages" that could seize the blood of others and turn it into nourishment for his own practice, so he set his sights on the nine corpses of the Golden Crows.

If Han Yi remembered correctly, there was a golden crow's corpse preserved in the You Min tribe, which was still emitting blazing flames even after tens of thousands of years.

The treasure that Lugui demanded from Youmin was actually... the corpse of the Golden Crow in their tribe!
Before this, Lugui had secretly planned and had actually collected the corpses of the other eight Golden Crows, and obtained the bloodline of the witch clan through the corpse of the great witch Chongli.

Now, the biggest obstacle before him is Youmin clan, who cannot see the situation clearly. As a hero, Lugui will naturally not be merciful to them.

The Golden Crow is the essence of the Fire of Li, the spirit of the Sun. Even the corpse of the second-generation Golden Crow possesses the mysterious power to help people change their destiny.

The great wizard Chongli inherited the powerful bloodline of Zhurong, the ancestor of fire wizards, and was able to control all fires. Although he unfortunately died in the wizard-lich catastrophe, he left behind an intact body by chance.

Lugui's idea was very simple. He would first use witchcraft to change his blood so that he could have the blood of Zhurong. Then he would use the blood of Zhurong to devour the original power contained in the corpses of the nine golden crows, so that he could ascend to the sky in one step and join the ranks of great supernatural powers and become a peerless human emperor like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Unfortunately, he forgot that in order to become the Human Emperor, one needs not only powerful strength, but also indelible contributions to the human race.

of course!

Perhaps, he may not have forgotten...

Perhaps he was thinking that after he had powerful strength, he would lead the human race to a new level.

Han Yi didn't know what Lugui was thinking, he only knew that he almost succeeded!

But, one step difference leads to a different outcome!

He was labeled a tyrant by later generations and given the posthumous title "Jie". He was nailed to the pillar of shame in history and used as a negative example to warn future generations.

The winner is the king and the loser is nothing more than this!
And Luo Xuan's opportunity to achieve the Golden Immortal was also related to Lugui, which was the Golden Crow's origin that scattered after he was killed.

Luo Xuan was known as the Immortal of Flames. He was naturally good at fire-related magical powers and practiced the laws of fire. When he obtained the origin of the Golden Crow, it was like a fish in water. It was natural for him to step into the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal.

In addition, Zhao Gongming from the outer sect of Jiejiao also gained some benefits, and took this opportunity to kill a corpse, taking a further step on the basis of the Daluo Jinxian.

In addition, the Fire Spirit Mother, who was the first disciple of the third generation of Jiejiao, also gained many benefits and made great progress in her cultivation because of her practice of the way of fire.

When a whale falls, everything comes alive!

Although Lugui failed at the critical juncture and died miserably, he left behind a great opportunity after his death, which helped the three practitioners of Jiejiao.

Finally, he only left behind a curse: "When the time comes, you and I will both die", cursing Cheng Tang who rebelled against him, saying that he would follow in his footsteps in the future!
Thinking of the final outcome of the Conferred Gods War, where the Shang Dynasty destroyed the Zhou Dynasty, Han Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Xia Jie's curse finally came true!"

Cheng Tang replaced Xia!

King Wu attacked Shang!

History is always surprisingly similar, with similar processes and the same endings, as if there is an invisible big hand manipulating everything behind the scenes.

"Maybe this is God's will!" Thinking of this, Han Yi became a little bored and couldn't help but drink a few more glasses of wine.

He remembered that before Lu Gui imprisoned Cheng Tang, he also destroyed You Shi clan, and his purpose seemed to be for the remains of Golden Crow. The remnants of You Shi clan had some relationship with the fox clan, so they found the nine-tailed fox Mei Xi from the Tushan lineage and asked her to enter the palace as a concubine, looking for an opportunity to overthrow Lu Gui's rule.

And Mo Xi lived up to everyone's expectations. She conspired with Shang's Prime Minister Yi Yin to help Cheng Tang escape from trouble, giving Cheng Tang the opportunity to launch an attack on Xia and eventually destroy the Xia Dynasty.

"There was Mei Xi in front and Daji in the back. It is true that when a country is about to fall, there will be evildoers!"

"Cheng Tang was trapped in Zhen'e, and Ji Chang was imprisoned in Youli, but when they escaped, they were like dragons entering the sea, and they were out of control!"

"When Cheng Tang started his army, two suns appeared in the sky and the black bird appeared. When Ji Chang became king, there was also a phoenix singing on Mount Qishan. History always repeats itself in a surprising way!"

"However, these have nothing to do with me for now. I should think of a way to improve my strength as soon as possible!"

"Without sufficient strength, there is no room for resistance in the face of fate!"

Han Yi shook his head and pushed out all the messy thoughts from his mind. Now his strength was not enough and he was not qualified to get involved in such a big scene.

If he has reached the realm of perfection in refining the void and merging with the Dao, and is only one step away from the fairyland, he would not mind getting involved... in this battle for the change of dynasty!

He was not qualified to participate in the battlefield of the powerful masters, but he could still follow Cheng Tang, follow the trend of heaven, and gain some merit and fortune.

But unfortunately, he has not yet perfected the refining of essence into qi, let alone refining the void and merging with the Tao?
If he remembered correctly, there were still eleven years before Cheng Tang started his rebellion, plus the ten years of fighting with Lugui's troops, there were still twenty-one years before the Battle of Mingtiao.

If he could enter the realm of refining the void and merging with the Dao during this period, it seems that he might be able to seize an opportunity.

Anyway, the conquest of Xia and the rise of Shang was the trend of Heaven and humanity, and the rules set by both Heaven and man. He could completely follow the will of Heaven.

Unlike in later times when the Shang Dynasty was destroyed and the Zhou Dynasty rose, because the relationship between Jiejiao and the Shang Dynasty was too close and because of the great calamity of the Conferred Gods, it had no choice but to choose the dark path.

It’s a tailwind!
It’s always better than going against the wind!

"It's difficult!"

The higher one goes in cultivation, the more difficult it becomes. Even with the experience from his previous life, he does not have the ability to skip the process of cultivation and polishing and become an immortal directly.

unless……

Obtain a golden elixir refined by the Taiqing Saint, or obtain a fruit of an innate spiritual root, so as to quickly accumulate magic power.

However, even in his previous life, when he was only one step away from the Golden Immortal realm, he had never had such an opportunity before he was killed by Taiyi Zhenren.

This is how the ancient world is. The earlier you are born, the greater the advantages and the more opportunities you will have.

However, those precious innate spiritual roots and innate spiritual treasures had already been completely divided up by those creatures who were first born!
The remaining opportunities that are ownerless are very few.

Although, because of his rebirth, he knew of several good opportunities.

However, with his current strength, he is not qualified to take it.

So, let’s take care of the present first!

By the time the banquet was over, it was already late at night. After everyone left, Han Yi slowly walked back to the courtyard where he lived.

It was midsummer, the moon was high in the sky, and a thin mist was rising over the pond in the courtyard, bringing a cool breeze. Even the flowers and trees in the courtyard were covered with white frost.

The mountain fish that Han Yi raised was lying quietly beside the pond, absorbing the moonlight.

There are many monks who have achieved enlightenment from different species in Jiejiao. Han Yi also mastered several breathing exercises of the demon race. After taming this mountain monster, he taught it a portion of them.

This foothill is extremely spiritual. In just a few days, it has learned to inhale and exhale the moonlight. In the future, there may be a chance to refine the horizontal bone and transform into a demon.

Han Yi's eyes were like a bottomless cold pond. He carefully stroked the head of the mountain foot, his eyes looking across the pond, and asked softly: "Zhi Yi! My life can be said to be walking on thin ice! Do you think I can reach the other side?"

Hold the barbarians!

It was this name he gave to this mountain beast after much consideration. It is also another name for the iron-eating beast.

Zhiyi seemed not to understand what he said. He just looked at Han Yi with his big silly eyes and made a puzzled gesture.

"That's right!" Han Yi shook his head and said, "You haven't opened your spiritual wisdom yet, so how can you understand what I mean?"

"However, since it is a road, whether it collapses halfway, fails, or successfully reaches the other side of the road, you have to walk it to know!"

"Am I right?"

Han Yi knew that he couldn't wait for an answer, so he didn't stop and went straight to his room.

However, when he was about to close the door, he saw Zhiyi nodding with its big black and white head, as if it understood something.

like……

It seemed like he was answering the question he just asked!
