Chapter 337: Reviving the Secret, Four Requirements for Ascension!

The world of soldiers, the place where gods reside.

The hurricane spread out from the wall of nothingness.

Shao Si Nong Wang Tianzhi and Ling Tianchen stood on the deck of the Shensu warship, with King Luohou and Shensu Guard Commander Dong Ze standing beside them.

"God knows what level the hurricane has reached." asked King Rahu.

"Reporting to the commander, about eleven levels." Wang Tianzhi looked out and said.

"What is the vitality index of Shang Hengyi?" King Luohou looked at Zhuang Daren who was operating the instrument next to him.

"The vitality index is 7.2." Zhuang Daren reported.

"Dong Ze, how do you feel?" King Luohou looked at Dong Ze again.

The latter shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. When I broke through, I didn't understand these data clearly. I only know that I gained some kind of enlightenment in the hurricane, and then my soul merged with my body, and my vitality changed qualitatively."

“When I came out again, I felt that the world was completely different.”

Looking at the looming hurricane ahead, Dong Ze thought: "Just from the scale of the hurricane, this hurricane is slightly smaller than the ones I saw before, and its power is also slightly less powerful."

"But it is gaining momentum now, and may become stronger."

King Rahu nodded.

Then he looked at Ji Yun, a fortune teller beside him: "What is the result of the 564th deduction?"

Ji Yun's eyes reflected a hurricane, and then he glanced at Ling Tianchen and Wang Tianzhi: "Replying to the commander, the result is the same as the previous 563 times, chaos is unpredictable."

A strange cloud of dark clouds appeared on the horizon, as if they had emerged from the boundary wall and were gathering at an extremely fast speed.

The color of the dark clouds was so dark that it was almost purple, with faint blue arcs flickering in them, like the eyes of a devil peering through the depths of the clouds.

As dark clouds gathered, the center of the hurricane gradually took shape. It was a huge black vortex, as deep and terrifying as a black hole in the universe.

Low roars came from the vortex, as if they were the roars of an ancient monster. The sound was deafening and made the earth tremble.

"Jerk—"

The edge of the vortex is like a sharp blade. Under the high-speed rotation, the space seems to be cut and distorted.

The surrounding air was madly sucked in, forming huge wind columns with lightning and flames entangled on them. The lightning shuttled through the wind like spirit snakes.

King Rahu looked ahead and fell into deep thought.

Shensu Cave Heaven was not like this a hundred years ago. It was stable and peaceful.

Shensu Cave Heaven was previously almost entirely fertile land. Top-notch military forces lived in Shensu Cave Heaven, and combined with dietary supplements, they created the Shensu Army, one of the ten imperial guards of the Great Zhou.

Even a novice warrior can quickly reach the fourth level of soul training within ten years.

However, in the past hundred years, hurricanes have often occurred there.

At first, the intensity and scope of the event were not strong and small, and it was considered a natural phenomenon.

But the hurricane grew stronger every year, and in the end, it became so terrible that even the high-ranking officials could not withstand it.

The agricultural officials were terrified and thought that the incident of Shiyang Cave would be repeated.

However, this strange hurricane only moved along the wall of the cave.

It cannot be driven away or calmed down, but after a while, it disappears on its own.

"Woohoo~"

"It has become a little bigger, reaching level eleven and a half." Wang Tianzhi said suddenly.

"The vitality index has risen to 7.7." Zhuang Daren also reported.

King Rahu looked ahead and saw that the huge rocks on the ground were easily pulled up and flew in the wind like fragile toys.

Huge trees were uprooted, their branches broken and crushed by the wind, and their leaves turned to dust in an instant.

The mountains were not spared either. The hurricane was like an invisible giant hand, ruthlessly tearing at the mountains. Large chunks of rock were peeled off and the peaks were shaking in the strong wind.

The nearby lakes and rivers also underwent drastic changes. The lakes were stirred up into huge waves, with the waves reaching dozens of feet high, rushing towards the shore like a wall made of water.

However, in the middle of this hurricane, there were flashes of colorful divine light, embellishing the dark and terrifying doomsday scene.

"Wang Tianzhi, Ling Tianchen, the two of you go into the center of the hurricane, but do it within your capabilities." King Luohou stretched out his hand and tapped the two men continuously, as if a silk thread was wrapped around them, and finally disappeared.

"You can stay in there for a maximum of one hour. When the hour is up, no matter what the result is, I will pull you back out."

"Yes." Ling Tianchen and Wang Tianzhi nodded, then flew towards the hurricane.

King Luohou was planning to keep an eye on it, but at this moment Dong Ze came out with a ground mirror and handed it to King Luohou: "Captain, there is a letter from Fengjing."

"What's the matter?" asked King Rahu.

"Ling Yuanzhou's Beichen King Qin Feng had his son put in a prisoner car and come to Fengjing to plead guilty."

"King Beichen? Are you asking for forgiveness?" King Luohou was a little surprised. "He has been in charge of Yuyangtian for decades and has rarely gone out. What has he done wrong?"

"The report mentioned that we should apologize to His Majesty and the Minister of Agriculture." Dong Ze was also a little puzzled when he read the news.

King Beichen is the king, so of course he should apologize to Ji Che. This is very normal.

But the involvement of Minister of Agriculture Zhao Xing here is very intriguing.

After a closer look, Dong Ze explained, "Beichen King Qin Feng and Grand Minister of Agriculture Zhao Xing had a conflict. The source of the conflict was that Beichen State had been applying for an extension of payment of the Golden Incense Medicine Tax."

"Zhao Xing happened to be passing by Beichen State, so he went to take a look. He found that Beichen State was being run in a mess by Prime Minister Shen Tuming and his queen Shen Tulan, and there was a lot of corruption."

"Zhao Xing wanted to capture the Shentu siblings and punish them, but was blocked by the power of the Beichen King's rules. So he used the "Yuanfeng" method to turn the Shentu siblings into chickens and dogs, and trapped them in the palace, unable to move."

"King Beichen also wrote to us during this period, but since we were in Shensu Cave Heaven, the news was delayed."

"And then?" King Luohou frowned and asked, "Who captured King Beichen?"

A military general was captured and made a king, but he, the Grand Marshal, didn’t even receive the notification?

"Instead of sending people to capture him," Dong Ze said, "King Beichen imprisoned himself in a carriage and went to the capital to plead guilty."

"It is said that King Beichen invited many experts to the palace, but they were unable to break the Yuanfeng method left by Zhao Xing and could not rescue his wife and brother-in-law safely, so he admitted his mistakes and imprisoned himself in the capital."

"Huh? Zhao Xing actually has such ability?" King Luohou couldn't help but be surprised: "He has made great progress, almost a change every year."

King Beichen is of super first rank, and there are many masters of the Fate Palace realm in the Northern Territory.

For more than half a month, they were unable to safely rescue the Shentu siblings who were suppressed by Zhao Xing. This was simply a fantasy!
"How shameful." King Rāhu snorted.

It's shameful to make a mistake, but it's even more shameful if you can't clean up after making a mistake!

"I had warned Qin Feng a long time ago not to overly indulge his relatives. Now, he has fallen flat on his face."

The strong have the power of amnesty. As King Beichen is a super first-class man, ordinary mistakes have little impact on him.

But in this kind of situation, either you don’t count, or if you do, the privilege is just a decoration.

A golden medal of immunity from death never guarantees immunity from death.

King Beichen was on the chopping block, and the ones doing the butchering were Emperor Wu and Zhao Xing. They had to cut off at least two taels of meat this time.

"General, he is almost in Fengjing. The Minister of Agriculture and His Majesty have sent letters asking for your advice." Dong Ze looked at King Luohou.

King Beichen is a military general, so this is under the jurisdiction of King Luohou, just like how Zhao Xing dealt with Lou Zhenyun, Dong Wenzhuo and Wu She also mainly followed his opinions.

King Luohou looked at the detailed information and then said, "Report to His Majesty and the Minister of Agriculture. Just say that King Beichen has been guarding Yuyangtian and has been fighting against the foreign monsters. Even if he has no merits, he has worked hard. My suggestion is that he was implicated by his wife's family this time, so focus on punishing his wife's family."

Dong Ze nodded: "I hope that King Beichen can recognize himself and the situation this time."

"I hope so." King Luohou looked at the hurricane ahead, "If he still dares to harbor resentment, even the gods cannot save him."

…………

"I, the guilty minister Qin Feng, pay my respects to Your Majesty!" At the court meeting in Fengjing, King Beichen knelt on the ground in shackles.

All the civil and military officials looked sideways and looked at King Beichen who was kneeling on the ground.

Halfway through the court meeting, King Beichen was suddenly brought in and asked to be punished, which shocked many people.

"King Beichen, has he actually come to the capital to apologize?"

"What on earth did the Minister of Agriculture do? Why is he so obedient?"

"It is said that he was subdued by the Minister of Agriculture and had no choice but to come and apologize."

"King Beichen is one of the eight super first-class masters of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he is unable to defeat the magic of the Grand Minister of Agriculture?"

"King Zhao is awesome!!"

The ministers were talking about it. Ji Che, who was sitting on the throne, glanced at Zhao Xing, who was standing second from the lower left, and couldn't help but give him an admiring look: Brother, you are really amazing!

Zhao Xing looked normal. Isn't it easy to control the King of Beichen?

Ji Che pretended to be surprised and asked, "King Beichen, what crime have you committed?"

King Beichen kowtowed with his son and said, "I neglected to discipline my children, which led to the rule of my maternal relatives. Fortunately, the Minister of Agriculture intervened and prevented a disaster. As a prince, I did not benefit the people of my fiefdom, but instead caused chaos in my fiefdom. Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to punish me."

Ji Che listened and then looked at Wu She: "Grand Sikou."

"I'm here." Wu She stepped out.

"What crime do you think King Beichen should be punished for?"

Wu She said expressionlessly, "I think that the King of Beichen has allowed his wife's family to mess up the government. The source of this is King Beichen. He should be expelled from the country and demoted to a commoner."

"His wife, Shen Tulan, is the queen, but she interferes in government affairs at will. His brother, Shen Tuming, is the prime minister, but he ignores the law. Both of them should be executed to serve as a warning to others."

Hearing this, the eldest son Qin Ling, who was kneeling next to King Beichen, suddenly felt his legs go weak and he panicked.

King Beichen, on the other hand, managed to keep a calm mind.

The hall suddenly became silent.

The country was stripped, the title was demoted, the queen and the prime minister were executed, every word hit the heart and shocked people speechless.

Ji Che looked at the performance of the ministers below and felt very satisfied.

He asked Wu She what to do, and Wu She of course told him to speak harshly so that Ji Che would show him mercy.

Although the result has been agreed upon long ago, this process cannot be omitted, as it is part of the process.

Of course, this cannot be done. It is not easy to produce a super-first-class person. Unless King Beichen is killed immediately, otherwise if he is treated too harshly and runs away, it will be a waste of a great help.

Ji Che said: "King Qin Feng of Beichen."

"The minister is here."

"You were crowned a king by the previous emperor. I appreciate your hard work and great contributions. You have guarded Yuyang for many years and rarely returned home. Since I discovered the chaos in Beichen in time and you took the blame, I will demote you to the rank of Duke of a County."

"Except for the four counties surrounding the royal city, the rest of Beichen is directly under the control of the imperial court. You only have a fiefdom, not a fiefdom. Do you accept the punishment?"

King Beichen kowtowed and said, "I accept the punishment."

"As for your brother-in-law." Ji Che looked at Zhao Xing again: "Grand Minister of Agriculture, you witnessed the chaos in the royal city with your own eyes. How do you think we should deal with him?"

Zhao Xing immediately glanced at King Beichen, who immediately bowed his head and said, "Please, Grand Minister of Agriculture, spare her life and remove the spell, considering that she is my first wife."

Zhao Xing also followed the principle of not forcing too much, and immediately said to Ji Che: "I can restore Shen Tulan's human form, but she should not be allowed to remain as a duchess after removing the queen's decree. From now on, she will be imprisoned in the deep palace and not allowed to leave the palace again."

"Shen Tu Ming dog relied on the power of others. I think it is better to let him remain as a yellow dog and wander in the countryside than to kill him. This can serve as a warning to the world."

It is quite reasonable to make such a decision. Since King Beichen is willing to come and confess his crime for his wife out of consideration for her, it would be inappropriate to chop off his wife.

Of course, his brother-in-law must be chopped off, but Zhao Xing thought it would be better to let Shentu Ming be a wild dog.

Now that he has become a stray dog, Shen Tu Ming won’t live long.

"Then let's do as the Minister of Agriculture said." Ji Che said. "Shen Tulan is imprisoned in the palace and is not allowed to leave the palace. Shen Tuming is turned into a yellow dog and wanders in the streets. No one is allowed to help him. He is left to fend for himself."

"I thank Your Majesty and the Minister of Agriculture." King Beichen and his son kowtowed again.

He came here just to save his first wife.

As for Shen Tuming? This damn bastard, he would have wanted to kill him even if others didn't.

"Retreat!"

…………

After the court meeting ended, the news of King Beichen's punishment was quickly spread through official documents.

When many generals heard this punishment, they couldn't help but shrink their necks and began to strictly discipline their wives, concubines and children at home.

"King Qin Feng of Beichen is a super-first-class strongman, but he was stripped of his country and demoted to a county duke. It can be seen that if a king wants to exercise his privileges, he must pay a huge price."

"I am only a marquis. I have worked hard to gain this piece of land. You guys can't just bully me!"

"Don't offend anyone but the tax collector, the Minister of Agriculture. Do you want to become a chicken or a dog and be infamous forever?"

"The historian will definitely record this incident. I'm afraid the Shentu family will be listed in the history of treacherous officials."

"Quick, bring me this year's tax accounts, no, the past fifty years' tax accounts, and check if there are any mistakes or omissions. If there are any mistakes or omissions, fill them in immediately!"

"Your Highness, our No. 5 Farm seems to have missed paying 30,000 yuan last year..."

"Fuck! You bastard, you want to kill me. Do you want to turn into a dog? Go and pay the money quickly, quickly!"

"I'll go!"

……

After King Beichen had dealt with the matter, the heads of the tax bureaus of the Sinong Bureau and other departments reported the good news one after another.

Meng Kun excitedly reported to Zhao Xing: "Hahaha, Grand Minister of Agriculture, look, all the states, prefectures, and counties have begun to voluntarily pay the back taxes."

"The local officials sent good news, saying that their work was starting to go smoothly, and many people began to cooperate in the clearance without them having to urge them."

Zhao Xing couldn't help but smile when he heard this. This was also expected.

With Beichen Country as an example, they will definitely be more restrained.

"This matter will have far-reaching consequences. I wonder who will dare to disobey you in the future?" Meng Kun said happily.

As time went by, the story of Beichen Kingdom spread and was constantly talked about, especially in the Sinong Academies in various places.

It also brought about a trend of learning the law of reform!

"In the past, when Grand Minister of Agriculture Wu Cheng went to subdue the rebellious King of Han, he also used the Houbian method and turned the entire Han palace into pigs."

"Today, the Minister of Agriculture Zhao Xing went to Beichen State alone and transformed the Demon Queen and Demon Prime Minister into chickens and dogs, forcing the King of Beichen to tie himself up and come to the capital to apologize. How satisfying!"

"I say that the transformation method is the most powerful spell. Who would disagree?"

"Be careful, don't get too obsessed with your training and turn yourself into a pig."

"Ha ha ha ha."

…………

The underworld, inside the temple.

When the news of Beichen Kingdom reached the underworld, Li Boqian couldn't help but take a deep puff of incense: "Good, good, my Yuanfeng method was not passed down in vain, hahahaha!"

"Brother Xuanyuan, do you now believe that I beat Xu Xing in the past?"

"Who can be my opponent if I use the Yuanfeng method?"

Xuanyuan Qingtian said with a smile: "Brother Li is so talented that he can actually create a magical art like Yuanfeng."

"How shameless." Tian Yang Zhen Jun suddenly interrupted, "When you practiced this method, I was watching you."

"Your Yuanfeng and Zhao Xing's Yuanfeng are already two different spells."

"You are at most at the second level of the Ultimate Technique, but he has already reached the fifth level of the Ultimate Technique."

"Besides, how can your Yuan Feng have so many variations?"

Li Boqian blushed immediately: "I was the one who taught Yuan Feng, why doesn't it count?"

"hehe."

…………

The matter of King Beichen was just a small matter and things soon returned to normal.

Super-first-class people like King Beichen will continue to emerge in the future as the tide of vital energy advances.

What Zhao Xing is paying attention to right now are the major events related to it.

In the eighty-third year of Yuanshou, Wang Tianzhi and Ling Tianchen came out of Shensu Cave Heaven and returned to Fengjing Sinongjian, where they made a detailed report to Zhao Xing.

"Grand Minister, we have been in and out of hurricanes nine times in total, and this has lasted for half a year."

"Including the two of us, 753 people have been tested, and we didn't find the good fortune you mentioned that caused the physical body to transform, but the magic skills have improved."

Zhao Xing looked at the report and said, "It seems that there are really not many opportunities for breakthroughs in the Great Zhou." There are two common ways to reach the true realm of rules.

One is to rely on the fortune of the country.

However, at this level of the Fate Palace, the number of Super-First-Rank that can be supported by the baptism of the country's luck cannot be too many.

Among the eight super first-class people in the Great Zhou Dynasty, only King Rāhu has received such treatment.

Why? Because King Luohou cultivated himself to the first level and mastered the top field. He was extremely powerful. If he was given the luck to break through, he would completely attribute the luck to himself.

After that, you can’t take it back just because you want to!

Ji Che was still very cautious about adopting this method to cultivate a super-first-class person.

Although the Great Zhou is now stronger than during the reign of Emperor Jing, it is not something that can be created casually, and this method cannot be popularized on a large scale.

The second way is to absorb the creation of heaven and earth from the tides.

Zhao Xing called it "the spiritual beauty of nature", which appeared along with a powerful tide of vital energy.

The most common one is the hurricane that blows out from the wall of the cave.

There is a hurricane in the cave, which is one of the signs of the tide of vital energy.

The two most critical points are the level of the hurricane and the concentration of surrounding vital energy.

The other seven super-first-grade masters of the Great Zhou all gained opportunities and achieved breakthroughs from the hurricane in the cave heaven.

Therefore, the natural disasters caused by the tide of vital energy are also accompanied by opportunities.

After Zhao Xing succeeded the position of Minister of Agriculture, he immediately began to arrange people to conduct tests in an effort to obtain stable data.

However, two years later, the test results were not ideal.

The main reason is that the vitality tidal phenomenon produced in the caves where the Great Zhou exists is too rare and its intensity is too weak.

Those seven people were purely a matter of luck, we met them.

"If I want to seize the opportunity in the vitality tide, I have to go to the outside world." Zhao Xing thought. "I will go to see His Majesty."

"Dean Meng, go supervise Junior Engineer Chen Ju and see how he's progressing."

"Okay, I'll send someone to supervise right away." Meng Kun nodded.

Chen Ju was a Taoist soldier who knew how to make precision detection instruments. Zhao Xing approved a project, which was to create a business instrument that could detect spiritual energy.

This instrument is very important. With it, it will be much easier for the strong men of the Great Zhou to find opportunities for breakthroughs.

After giving the order, Zhao Xing went straight to the palace.

At this time, Ji Che was reading the Book of Destiny in the Imperial Garden again.

"Your Majesty, King Zhao is here." A guard reported.

"Didn't I say that there was no need to inform the King of Zhao when he came? Who told you to stop him?" Ji Che glanced at the guards.

The guard was startled: "Your Majesty, it was the King of Zhao who asked me to report this."

"Okay, go down and invite King Zhao in."

"Yes."

Zhao Xing entered the imperial garden and sat opposite Ji Che in a pavilion.

"Fifth brother, the tide of vitality in various places in Xuanhuang Realm has now created an opportunity for the strong men in the Fate Palace Realm to make further breakthroughs."

"But the vitality tide is shrinking from the outer edge of Xuanhuang Realm to the inside, so we must develop while deploying troops to the outer lands."

"Whether it's coercion or negotiation, in short, we must strive to allow the strong men of the Great Zhou to go to the outside world and look for opportunities for breakthroughs."

“We can’t leave these opportunities to others.”

Ji Che nodded: "I think so too. If we do nothing, then even if the opportunity of the vitality tide falls on the Great Zhou in the future, we will still have to face the threats of natural disasters and man-made disasters."

"However, there is one thing I don't understand. Please help me solve it."

Zhao Xing said, "You say."

"Brother, I often read the Book of Destiny and feel that the conditions for ascending are ripe. All we need to do is conquer the Southern Barbarians."

"The legendary spiritual energy era is about to arrive in less than a hundred years. Why do you think this is not the real spiritual energy era, but just a vital energy tide?"

"If this is the tide of vital energy, then my understanding is wrong. Then what is the real condition for ascension?"

Zhao Xing looked at Ji Che's puzzled eyes and fell into deep thought.

According to the trajectory of the previous life, in the 83rd year of Yuanshou, the Great Zhou had already begun to attack the Southern Barbarians.

But in this life, because of my existence, during the Yuanshou period, the only battle in the Great Zhou that could be considered a major war was the one in Xijizhou. Relatively speaking, the intensity was not great and the duration was not long.

To be honest, the fact that Emperor Wu could endure for so long shows that he trusts me a lot.

Because the guidance that the Book of Destiny gave him was very different from what Zhao Xing said.

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the real spiritual energy era has begun. The entire Xuanhuang Realm will be hit by a spiritual energy rain that will last for decades and cover a huge area!"

Zhao Xing stretched out his hand and pointed, and the vital energy condensed in the air, constantly changing its shape.

Finally, an umbrella-shaped cover appeared in the air, and an irregular and twisted piece of land appeared inside it.

Zhao Xing pointed with his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look. You can roughly regard it as the appearance of the Xuanhuang Realm. The Four Pillar Mountains are holding up a piece of land floating in the endless universe."

"The largest and tallest mountain among them is the sacred mountain of the Nanman."

"The outer layer of empty mist symbolizes the boundary wall of the Xuanhuang Realm."

"The end of the land is the ocean, and the ocean also has an end. The four ends can be called the end of the world. The water in the ocean will flow into a place called Guixu Land."

"The land of Guixu is the handle of the umbrella. It is also at the bottom of the boundary wall of Xuanhuang Realm. It is a very small piece of land."

"Many nodes on the umbrella cover are small worlds in the cave."

Ji Che had never seen anyone describe the Xuanhuang Realm in this way, so he listened attentively.

"Your Majesty, let's assume this is a leaky umbrella."

"The stars in the universe can leak in through the countless small holes in the umbrella."

"The larger holes become the sun and moon we see, and the smaller holes become the light of the stars."

"Your Majesty should know that when Qing Yuzi was crossing the level, a mural appeared, called "The Wind of the Void."

At this point, Zhao Xing pointed again, and a dark cloud floated from the sky and appeared above the umbrella: "Since there is wind, there can be clouds."

"When the clouds covered the Xuanhuang Realm and it began to rain, the rain flowed in through the cave."

"This rain is a huge spiritual energy, enveloping the origin of the universe's void."

"When it is poured down, the Xuanhuang Realm will enter the era of spiritual energy."

"And now, all the major caves are only experiencing hurricanes and thunder. The thunder is loud, but the raindrops are small, which proves that this is just a vital energy tide."

"It's a sign that the spiritual energy rain is about to fall."

Ji Che fell into deep thought after hearing this. He asked, "Since you said it was a sign, then the Spiritual Energy Era will soon arrive."

Zhao Xing shook his head: "It's different. The clouds in the universe are not easy to condense. From the perspective of the universe, it will indeed arrive soon. But for us in the Xuanhuang Realm, we may need to wait another two thousand years for it to arrive."

"A complete cycle can easily take millions of years, which is why it takes so long for spiritual energy to revive."

"There will be two different periods in the Xuanhuang Realm: the Yuanqi Era and the Lingqi Era."

Emperor Wu felt shocked. He asked with some reluctance in his eyes, "According to what you said, doesn't it mean that my Great Zhou was born at the wrong time, just before the arrival of the Spiritual Energy Era? Is the Ascension just a false alarm?"

The emperor only lives for a thousand years!
If there are still one or two thousand years after the vitality tide, wouldn't Ji Che fall before dawn?
Looking at the unwilling light in Emperor Wu's eyes, Zhao Xing felt emotional. This was exactly the reason why he was reluctant to explain it to Ji Che in detail.

Which emperor could bear to know such a truth?
God knows whether he will never recover or fall into madness.

But this time it was different. Zhao Xing quickly said, "We don't have to wait that long."

"Oh?" Ji Che asked, "I'd like to hear more details."

Zhao Xing said: "To answer your majesty's second question, which is the requirements for ascension."

"First, the spiritual energy index of the Xuanhuang Realm must reach five or above."

"I am now looking for someone to try to make a spiritual version of the business balance instrument. I believe the finished product will be available soon."

"Second, at least twenty people in the Li Dao realm will bear the Xuanhuang four-way calamity. The location is Sizhu Mountain. In each place, at least five people will fight the calamity together at the same time."

"The third of the Four Pillars Mountains is no longer guarded. It is a forbidden area. Only the Southern Barbarian Holy Mountain will be obstructed by the Wu Yue God."

"So the third requirement is to conquer the southern barbarians."

"We have to undergo the test of the calamity of ascension here, and we also have to open the passage of ascension here, because this is the largest hole in the umbrella cover."

"Your Majesty wants to carry out the plan of ascending to heaven and lead all his subjects to ascend to heaven. The southern barbarians must be conquered."

"Otherwise there wouldn't be a place big enough to accommodate the [Boundary Boat]."

Ji Che was stunned: "What is a boundary boat?"

Zhao Xing said: "This involves the fourth condition: taking the origin of the world as the core to build a boundary boat, condensing spiritual energy into crystals, and using them as the energy source of the core magic array, we can leave the Xuanhuang Realm and cross the universe."

Ji Che suddenly realized: "No wonder I always see patterns of flying boats when I look at the historical documents and murals of the ancient divine dynasties."

Zhao Xing said: "In fact, the patterns left by the ancient divine dynasty did not do what Your Majesty did. The small boundary boats they built only carried the basic living facilities and population of a prefecture at most."

"Building the world ship is for survival?" Ji Che keenly grasped the key.

“Yes.” Zhao Xing nodded. “The Li Dao Realm is called the Ascension Realm in the universe. Now that we have survived the Four-Direction Calamity, we can get rid of the restrictions of the Xuan Huang Realm by reaching the Ascension Realm.”

"In theory, we can leave through those tiny holes without bringing so many people."

"What's the actual situation?" Ji Che asked.

"It won't work in reality." Zhao Xing shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, you should know that the more skilled you are, the more your energy will be consumed. It is impossible for us to absorb energy and spiritual energy from the universe."

"It's like we're going to a place to fight a war and need to carry military supplies and food."

"The universe is vast and desolate. Before we reach a territory with stable and abundant spiritual energy, we need to prepare enough dry food supplies from the Xuanhuang Realm. Only then can we hope to reach a new world."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but recall the scene of ascension in his previous life. Warriors, mechanical engineers, and agricultural officials are all indispensable, and no one can ascend to the next map alone.

The smaller the group size, the harder it is to enter the next dungeon, because there is no ecosystem that can be maintained for a long time, and there is even the possibility of death and demotion.

That is to choose to sleep (go offline) to reduce consumption, but that will also waste some of the cultivation progress after ascension.

After leaving the Xuanhuang Realm, there is no more bottleneck. That is the time to practice and accumulate experience. If you are slower, you will fall behind.

Ji Che murmured to himself: "So the universe is like this."

"I thought the sky was filled with stars and there were fairylands everywhere."

Zhao Xing also raised his head and said leisurely: "Maybe it was true in the past, but now the Xuanhuang Realm is just a fish pond that is about to dry up."

"We fish need to leap out of our water level and onto the 'land' without water, jumping and jumping, trying to reach another ocean in the universe before we die."

Ji Che seemed to be thinking: "Qing Yuzi said that he came from the Yuanhai Ancient Country of the Wilderness Ancient Country Alliance. Does the Wilderness...refer to the desolate territory of the universe where the Xuanhuang Realm is located?"

"Your Majesty is very smart." Zhao Xing smiled and said, "Yes, the universe where Xuanhuang Realm is located may have once been an area with abundant spiritual energy, but with the vicissitudes of the universe, it is now about to become a barren land."

“Perhaps in the past, those who have reached the Ascension Realm could have ridden a small boat and left after enduring the test of disasters, but this is definitely not possible now.”

"According to what you said, after the Ancient Divine Court ascended, not everyone may have reached the immortal realm and become more powerful. It is also possible..."

"Yes, it is also possible that they have turned into dry bones and become a pile of empty tombs." Zhao Xing said, "And the more selfish a dynasty is, the fewer people and materials it carries, the smaller the world ship it builds, and the smaller the chance of survival in the end."

"So I said, Your Majesty wants to lead the entire nation to ascend, which means that he has realized the true meaning of ascension."

It was comfortable to chat with Emperor Wu. Zhao Xing decided to learn from the players in his previous life and come up with a "save the world" plan, mainly because of Emperor Wu.

Even if I delay it to the future, I will not be more comfortable than I am now.

It is too risky to be the emperor yourself, and Puta is a lesson for us.

If I have a puppet emperor, I will have to worry about everything myself. Where would I get so much energy?

Ji Che fell into silence. What Zhao Xing said had given him such a huge shock that he seemed to be in the process of digesting it.

This is only Ji Che and Zhao Xing. If it were any other combination, they would probably be regarded as spreading rumors to mislead the public and would be executed.

For the emperor who dreamed of ascending to heaven, the facts stated by Zhao Xing were extremely cruel, and the conditions for ascension listed could almost shatter an emperor's dream of ascending to heaven.

However, Ji Che was not an ordinary emperor, and he recovered quickly. He licked his lips, with a gleam in his eyes: "Now that you say that, I am even more excited."

“If you want to do it, do it in a way that has never been done before or since!”

"Brother, now that it is a spiritual energy tide, it will be difficult to get the spiritual energy index above five. However, you should have a plan, right?"

"It is difficult. This involves three places: Guixu, Nanman, and Longting Ancient Land."

"If you want to collect spiritual energy, you can't avoid these three places."

"Even if we can overcome all difficulties and collect enough spiritual energy, what should we do?" Ji Che asked.

Zhao Xing smiled and pointed to the cloud on the umbrella handle: "Fifth brother, see if it can think of anything."

"Cloud? Sinong?" Ji Che's eyes suddenly lit up, "Brother, do you mean that Sinong can summon the cloud that caused the spiritual rain in advance?"

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, do you know what the most important equipment of the Minister of Agriculture is?"

"It's the Cloud and Rain Beads!" Ji Che blurted out. "The Cloud and Rain Beads that collect the energy of clouds and rain!"

"Yes!" Zhao Xing stood up and lit up many places on the umbrella with high spirits: "Gathering the spiritual energy of the world and gathering it in my hands, based on the twenty-four solar terms, I will have a great chance of making the rain of spiritual energy revival come ahead of time!"

Team ascension was a feature of the mysterious game in the previous life. And Sinong played such a role in the ascension.

The rest of the professions help in tasks such as collecting spiritual energy, building world ships, and fighting wars.

Ji Che was obviously not someone who would listen to empty promises. He immediately asked for details: "How do we do it?"

Zhao Xing said: "Just now I said that once you reach the Dao Li realm and survive the heavenly tribulation, you will have the conditions to leave the Xuanhuang Realm."

"At that time, I will choose a channel, use the collected spiritual energy to make clouds above the Xuanhuang Realm, and then I will be able to gather the spiritual energy clouds that are condensing around the Xuanhuang Realm."

"After the clouds move, it will rain."

"A rain that revives spiritual energy!"

Ji Che looked at Zhao Xing, who was full of vigor and ambition, and couldn't help but stand up excitedly: "Brother, if you can succeed, you will be the state teacher of the Great Zhou!"

"Hahahaha, forget about the National Master." Zhao Xing laughed, removed all these strange phenomena, and sat down again with Ji Che.

"Che, there are still many difficulties to complete the great cause of ascension. I need you to have firm confidence, the confidence to break through all obstacles, and absolute trust in me."

"Don't worry, big brother." Ji Che said seriously, "Life is only a thousand years, like a fleeting moment. For such a great cause, I will definitely stand by your side unconditionally!"

Zhao Xing smiled, Ji Che also smiled, and the two clasped hands tightly together.

After a moment, the two calmed down and began to discuss the specific implementation plan.

"The most critical thing now is manpower, that is, the number of strong people." Zhao Xing said: "If we don't have the power to sweep across the Xuanhuang Realm, then it will be difficult to revive the spiritual energy."

Ji Che nodded, "According to what my eldest brother said, during the vitality tide, a powerful force will seize the opportunity and intercept a large amount of spiritual energy. If we want them to hand it over, we cannot do that without sufficient military force."

"Yes." Zhao Xing smiled, "Not to mention the distant ones, the stubborn Wu Yueshen will definitely not ascend with us, and will do everything he can to stop us."

"We can unite some people, but the number is bound to be limited. It is impossible to take everyone away in one ascension of the Xuanhuang Realm."

"What is worrying is the lack of people and the inequality of the people. As long as such a situation occurs, there will definitely be people who will do everything they can to obstruct it."

"But it's too early to talk about unity now. We need absolute force to say that."

Zhao Xing and Ji Che returned to the original question, which was the specific implementation plan.

“Although the vitality tide this time is from the outside to the inside, and the Great Zhou is in an unfavorable geographical location, we can use war, negotiation, coercion and inducement to send some strong people to the key locations in the outside world to compete for the opportunity to break through the rule realm.”

Ji Che said with emotion: "It's a good thing that my elder brother is the Minister of Agriculture."

Originally, after the Great War in Xijizhou, the foreign policy of the Great Zhou was to develop peacefully, digest the benefits gained from the ruins of Xijizhou, and resist the natural disasters brought by the tides with all their strength.

Since the vitality tides summarized by Liu Tianning and his team were not perfect, at least he did not figure out the rule that could allow one to break through a hurricane.

Therefore, Ji Che and others believed at that time that it was best for Da Zhou to take advantage of the opportunity to develop and should not continue the war in the short term.

But if this is really the case, then in the next period of time, the number of powerful people born in the countries and sects outside the world will definitely experience an explosion at some point, and may even exceed that of the Great Zhou. In this case, the Great Zhou will be in great trouble.

Zhao Xing did not follow Ji Che's words and whip Liu Tianning's corpse. In fact, Old Liu did a good job, just not as good as himself.

Zhao Xing skipped this topic and continued to talk about the specific plan of the recovery plan. "I also need to borrow two artifacts from the imperial palace treasury. With these two artifacts, it will be much easier to take people abroad to seize opportunities."

"What artifact?" Ji Che asked.
