Chapter 312 The Emperor Arrives at Qiugu Island
On the sixth day of the first lunar month in the first year of Chang'an, Lu Changjing changed the country's name to Dajing and ascended the throne to become the emperor of the Dajing Dynasty.
If it were not for the desire to be exposed too early, the Dajing Dynasty at this moment would be fully qualified to be called the Dajing Divine Dynasty, transcending the scope of dynasties and imperial dynasties.
Lu Changjing was the Emperor of Chang'an, and later generations called this year the beginning of Chang'an's heyday.
Although everything went smoothly, there was still one small regret that had not been realized, and that was that Ning Zhongyu's whereabouts had not been found yet.
This guy seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. No news about him could be found anymore and no trace of him has been found so far.
Could he be dead? Otherwise, why is there no news at all?
Lu Changjing was also quite puzzled by this, and sent a team of people to look for him, but to no avail.
What he didn't know was that Ning Zhongyu, who had become a eunuch, was afraid of being discovered, so he was hiding in a cave deep in the Fulong Mountains, training several demon donkeys.
Before he became a man, he was not prepared to meet people, and he had no idea what was happening outside.
Looking at the demon donkey that was growing bigger and stronger in the cave, Ning Zhongyu's face was filled with joy.
According to the current progress, it won't take a few years for him to replace the demon donkey's blood with his own. By then, he will have mastered the secret technique of replenishing the chicken, and should be able to transplant the demon donkey's treasure and turn him into a man again, and a stronger man than ever before.
When Ning Zhongyu thought of that scene, he was so excited that he was speechless. After so many years of hard training and efforts, he finally saw the dawn of victory.
He no longer had the mood to practice the art of hidden yang. After two failures and the experience of becoming a eunuch, Ning Zhongyu was scared.
Even without the help of the Cang Yang Technique, it is possible to practice to the ultimate level of a grandmaster, and then have the opportunity to break through the shackles of gods and demons. Why must one insist on practicing the Cang Yang Technique to perfection?
He was so stupid before. He ignored all the beautiful concubines in the harem and insisted on practicing some kind of Yang-hiding technique. He didn't even dare to touch them. Now thinking about it, it was really stupid.
After the experience of becoming a eunuch, Ning Zhongyu finally learned to cherish. He would not be a fool anymore. He wanted to be a real man, visit the harem, have children, and prepare for refining the soul fruit of his blood relatives.
What Ning Zhongyu didn't know was that even if he wanted to go back now, it was too late.
Baiyujing has become Lu Changjing's Baiyujing, and the Daning Palace has also become the Dajing Palace. It is undergoing transformation and expansion to erase all traces of Daning.
As for his concubines and concubines, they were naturally Lu Changjing's concubines and concubines. Many of them had been involved in verbal battles with him and had no attachment to him.
Even if we go back now, there is no other way except death.
Some things, once missed, will never come back, just like his throne.
While Ning Zhongyu was still staring at the demon donkey's treasure with excitement, Lu Changjing was already in high spirits and was preparing to marry his good disciple Shu Chang to consummate the marriage.
The wedding was held on Qiugu Island and not many people came. Shu Chang also didn't want her former relatives and friends to come because they were no longer her relatives and friends.
Lu Changjing originally wanted to invite concubines and concubines to come and have fun, but was rejected by Shu Chang, and felt a little embarrassed.
In the spring when flowers are blooming and the weather is fine, colorful lights and flower ribbons are spread all over Sakura-kyo on Akiko Island.
The red brocade carpet stretched as far as the eye could see, and flower petals were scattered everywhere where the wedding procession passed.
The Sakura Palace was where the great palace of the Sakura tribe’s natives used to be located. After being renovated, it became the Sakura Palace, which is also Shu Chang’s residence here.
The huge palace was decorated with red silk ribbons everywhere. Red silk flowers were hung high on the eaves, corners of corridors, and above the trees, creating a gorgeous scene of bright red.
The ten-mile-long red wedding dress and the orderly motorcade, with dragons and phoenixes flying around, scattering countless petals to the entire Sakura Capital. Everywhere you look, the huge Sakura Capital seems to be covered with flowers.
There was an endless stream of people surging around, and there wasn't a single native Sakura tribe member in sight. Instead, they were all people from the Dajing Dynasty, crowded together, all of them stretching their heads to watch this once-in-a-century event.
Shu Chang is dressed particularly attractively today.
As the saying goes, a smile can make one look charming, and a figure as delicate as a graceful swallow can make one look beautiful.
The breeze gently sways the jade sleeves, and the Xiang skirt drags diagonally to reveal the golden lotus. The autumn eyes are charming and the spring bamboo shoots are slender and charming.
The red silk of jade flutters in the wind, and the high hairpin with pearls and jade shines brightly. Her eyebrows are like green feathers, and her skin is like sheep fat. Her face is set against peach petals, and her temples are piled with golden phoenix silk.
Looking at the magnificent scene outside through the curtain, Shu Chang was so distracted that she almost didn't know where she was. Her love for Lu Changjing reached its peak.
She just wanted a simple wedding, but she didn't expect Lu Changjing to give her a hundred miles of red makeup. Not to mention having seen it, she had never even heard of such a grand wedding before.
For a moment, tears streamed down my face.
The peach blossoms are beautiful, the red face is exquisite, the phoenix robe, the bridal veil and the mandarin duck jacket.
Spring is in full swing, willow branches are new, the sun shines brightly outside the city, and birds fly overhead. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. The east wind blows, and fragrant clouds welcome the silver hairpins, gold ornaments, and pearl screens.
Pour clear wine, add red candles, the beauty of the moon and the romance, gorgeous makeup, pretty, pretty, pretty.
Lu Changjing took Shu Chang's hand and walked into the Sakura Palace. After the wedding, they came to the bedroom.
Looking at the poetic and picturesque disciple in front of him, Lu Changjing could no longer hold back and pounced on Shu Chang...
Soon the dragon and the phoenix sang in harmony and began to attack the shackles of gods and demons. At the same time, Lu Changjing also took this opportunity to help Shu Chang further cleanse her marrow, consolidate her foundation, and increase her talents.
Lu Changjing also gained considerable benefits from this. With the help of pure Yin energy, he improved his Nine Yang Profound Art system. One night of practice was equivalent to more than a month of practice, and it also improved his foundation and talent.
Both of them gained huge benefits from it, especially Shu Chang, who soon began to break through the shackles of gods and demons with unstoppable force.
Ignite the fire of the true spirit... ignite the divine fire... condense the divine soul!
Shu Chang, who already had a strong foundation, passed the three levels of gods and demons with ease. With the help of Lu Changjing, she encountered almost no difficulties and rushed straight into the realm of gods and demons.
In just a few hours, Shu Chang broke through the shackles of gods and demons and ascended to the level of gods and demons.
Taking this opportunity, Lu Changjing also helped her improve her foundation and talent. His own foundation and talent also improved, not to mention his cultivation level.
Even Shu Chang herself did not expect that this time the challenge would be so smooth. It was as if with divine help that she broke through to the realm she had only dreamed of.
She couldn't help but cry for joy, and tried her best to make Lu Changjing happy. This lasted for several days and nights, and the practice slowly came to an end.
Although he was killed many times by the rider, Lu Changjing was still full of energy with the help of his magical powers, but Shu Chang was a little bit weaker. After feeding some imported delicacies, Shu Chang recovered a little, snuggled in Lu Changjing's arms and said sweet words, unaware of the passage of time.
After resting for a while, when the two were preparing to continue practicing the dragon and phoenix harmony and improve their practice, they heard a deafening roar coming from afar, and then the entire Sakura Palace began to shake.
Lu Changjing's face changed, and he quickly asked Shu Chang to stay in the safe Sakura Palace, while he rushed to the place where the sound came from.
If my guess is correct, there must have been an earthquake nearby. Earthquakes often occur in the territory of the Sakura clan, but earthquakes as big as the one at this moment are still relatively rare.
This reminded Lu Changjing of the earthquake in the west. Could it be that some monsters had appeared in the world again, causing this situation?
The fluctuations of his soul easily detected the movements within a radius of dozens of miles, which was dozens of times more than that of gods and demons of the same level. He quickly found the location of the earthquake source.
It is only about a hundred miles away from Sakurajing, deep under the sea. It seems that some treasure has come into the world, which caused such a big commotion.
Raising his eyebrows, without thinking too much, Lu Changjing immediately activated his Vajra Indestructibility and headed straight for the depths of the seabed despite the strong earthquake.
The surrounding sea water, soil and rocks were nothing but chickens and dogs to him and could not harm him at all.
After going deep into the ground for hundreds of miles, they came to an ancient stone chamber. Inside this stone chamber, there was a stone pillar several meters square. It was carved from unknown material, and a sea chart was engraved on it.
However, there were no place names marked on this nautical chart, so Lu Changjing didn't know where this nautical chart was from.
Looking closely, this sea chart makes people feel immersed in it, as if they are in a boundless sea and have no idea where they are.
Faintly, Lu Changjing felt that this stone pillar seemed to be connected to this sea area. No, to be precise, it should be connected to a fist-sized bead on top of the stone pillar.
This bead is azure blue all over, just like sea water, but it emits a faint five-colored glow. If you sense it carefully, you can't sense its level.
But Lu Changjing had a feeling that the level of this bead should be far beyond the scope of divine weapons. No, it might even exceed the level of mysterious weapons.
Because Lu Changjing felt that even his mysterious weapons, the Nine Dragon Boxing Gloves and the Nine Dragon Ring, could not be compared with it, and the gap was far apart.
Could it be a treasure that transcends the mysterious weapons?
Lu Changjing looked at the bead in front of him in astonishment, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to grab it.
"Om..."
What Lu Changjing didn't expect was that even with his defense that far exceeded that of an ordinary Xuan Zun and his amazing strength, he was unable to get close to the bead. He was even shocked by the power it emitted, and his fingers were cracked.
"This……"
Lu Changjing was speechless for a long time. You know, his defense was so strong that even he couldn't break it. He didn't expect that it would be broken by this strange bead.
No, to be precise, it was broken by the recoil of the force surrounding it, and it was not aimed at him.
If they targeted him, even Lu Changjing didn't know whether he would be crushed into powder.
Lu Changjing hurriedly retreated, not daring to get close to the bead. Looking at the bead that was as stable as a rock during the earthquake, with even the stone pillars and stone chambers around it not shaking at all, he could not help but show a look of horror.
What kind of treasure is this and why is it so powerful? The stone pillar and stone chamber that carry this treasure do not look like ordinary things. Even the divine stone cannot be so powerful.
Could it be that it was built with black stone or some higher-level treasure? It's too extravagant.
Just as I thought of this, I saw cracks suddenly appearing on the stone pillar in front of me. I didn't know what had caused it.
I didn't think it was because of the earthquake here, because this earthquake was not strong enough and could not break this stone pillar.
However, Lu Changjing did not dare to use his soul to investigate, because he was afraid that the recoil force would cause his soul to collapse, so he just watched from a distance.
Then it was discovered that as the stone pillar shattered, the sea chart on it actually emerged and the scenery in the chart was also changing.
In a trance, Lu Changjing seemed to see countless blood beasts rushing into the sky, wreaking havoc on the scenery on the sea chart, and then destroying many of the scenes on the sea chart, including spiritual veins, earth veins, water veins... It seemed that it was because these things were destroyed that the stone pillars and stone chambers here were affected, and the beads on them were also affected.
At the same time, the surrounding earthquakes were also intensifying, and it was not known whether they were affected by the aftermath of the cracks in the stone chamber and stone pillars.
Lu Changjing stepped back again in fear, staring at what was happening in front of him from afar. He didn't know how much time had passed. Before his astonished eyes, the stone pillars and the stone chamber finally stopped crumbling, but they looked already scarred and not far from destruction.
"Whoosh..."
Lu Changjing couldn't help but pick up a stone and threw it from a distance. To his surprise, there was no blockage this time and it fell on the scarred stone pillar.
"Kacha kacha kacha..."
As he looked on in astonishment, the stone pillars collapsed with a loud bang, and then the stone chamber shattered into pieces. The blue beads on top fell down and churned into the rubble.
From above, Lu Changjing no longer felt the strong threat he had felt before, as if he had lost his support.
However, Lu Changjing still did not dare to get close. Instead, he used soul-stealing magic to capture a sea monster of level 10 and let it go over to take the blue bead.
The siren, who was about level ten, came over with a "clatter" and directly picked up the blue bead. It did not encounter any danger and was not hurt at all.
What is going on? Could it be that the stone pillars and the stone chamber are where the blue beads are powered? As they collapse and lose their energy supply, the blue beads can no longer produce any effect?
Lu Changjing guessed, then he grabbed the blue bead, and carefully sensed the fluctuations of his soul, but it could not penetrate at all, and he could not refine it at all.
Lu Changjing tried to inject his divine energy into it, but the blue bead was like a bottomless pit. It easily absorbed all the divine energy that Lu Changjing injected, but there was no movement at all.
Could it be that the divine energy was unable to activate this blue bead? Lu Changjing then injected divine blood, and then divine soul, but it was still like a drop in the ocean, not even a ripple appeared.
Was it because his energy was not strong enough, or was it because he had not yet refined it, so he could not activate it?
Lu Changjing held the blue bead tightly in doubt. He always felt that this bead was not an ordinary object. It should be a treasure far superior to the Nine Dragon Boxing Gloves. He just couldn't use it yet.
After trying again and finding it impossible to use it, Lu Changjing finally gave up and put the blue bead into the Nine Dragon Ring and kept it well.
I will try again after my cultivation level is further improved, or I can search for information about the blue bead to see if I can find a way to refine it.
