Chapter 576 The Power Left by Changsheng
Above the God-condemned wasteland, the emperor's palace slowly passed through the sky, the chaotic realm broke through the clouds, and three giant dragons patrolled the world.
Behind the dragon's back, the chaotic clouds condensed into a high platform, where the group took a rest.
Now that the emperor's palace has been summoned, Du Yanran can take a break and save ammunition for the armed chariots.
However, he still did not unsummon the chariot.
Because... in the Land of Descent, you are still affected by the effects of the Land of God's Punishment. Canceling the soul card here will directly disconnect you.
There is still a lot of soul energy ammunition in this tank. Once the connection is disconnected, a large part of the ammunition will definitely be lost, so Du Yanran is reluctant to do so.
Anyway, the mental pressure of the Mechanical Soul Card is not high, so it’s okay to maintain it until leaving the God’s Punishment Wasteland.
While everyone was resting, Fashi was sitting on a stone chair and telling Yu Cang about his information.
"Immortality... does exist. He attained the highest divine status four thousand years ago and is now immortal. This legend is true... I swear, there's absolutely no falsehood!"
After saying this, Fashi looked up at Yu Cang, as if he wanted to observe Yu Cang's expression.
Yu Cang's expression was calm and he did not comment.
It is undeniable that there have definitely been some extraordinary people in the history of Blue Planet.
If he had heard descriptions of immortality before, he would have thought it must be false.
But now, he feels that anything is possible.
After all, the miracles that Changsheng has displayed so far are nothing more than immortality and the creation of the Longevity Tent.
In Yu Cang's current view, these two points are not too incredible.
Taichu can already be calculated to have infinite lifespan, so it is reasonable that this original immortal myth can achieve immortality in the hunter tribe where banned cards are everywhere.
Maybe, Changsheng was once one of the candidates for the Emperor Star.
Judging from the description, Changsheng is probably the type that Dixing likes.
However, if Changsheng is really like the legend says, and he just can't wake up because of anger, and needs the spirit year to wake him up... then that should be unlikely.
There must be a deeper reason.
Seeing that Yu Cang was unmoved, Fa Shi couldn't help but say, "Why don't you express your opinion? Do you believe it or..."
"You speak, I listen." Yu Cang said calmly, "Whether you can survive depends on my judgment. You can say whatever you want."
“…”
Fa Shi took a deep breath.
"Okay...but Yu Cang, even if we put aside the factor of faith, I still believe that immortality exists...The reason why I dare to say this is naturally because I have my own basis."
Fashi paused for a moment, as if he was organizing his thoughts.
Then, he said, "In the scriptures, the Great King Court angered Changsheng, and Changsheng punished the Great King Court by making him manage the Changsheng Tent. He had to build the Changsheng Tent into a golden and jade paradise, and then Changsheng would wake up... This is ridiculous. How can being a king be punished?
"This story was most likely fabricated by the Great King's Court to consolidate its rule. However, the punishment was fabricated, but the power stolen from Changsheng was not."
Fashi raised his head and looked in the direction of the chariot.
Lou Yan was standing next to the chariot at this time, looking in the direction of Fa Shi with a complicated expression.
"Yu Cang, when you were fighting Salang, did you find out Salang's intentions?"
"No."
"I don't believe it." Fashi shook his head. "You're so smart, but with that idiot Salang...it's impossible to keep any secrets from you."
Yu Cang: "...I don't know the specific purpose, but he needs to ensure that Lou Yan and I are alive."
"That's right... Do you know why the Imperial Master needs Lou Yan?"
"Because he is the prince of the Hunter Clan?"
"The Imperial Master has completely stripped the power of the Longevity Account. The existence of this little prince is of little significance. If it's just an identity, then it wouldn't take much effort for the Imperial Master to fabricate one."
"That's why."
"Because... the Lou family has been stealing the power of immortality for generations, and royal blood is the key. Lou Yan is the Emperor Khan's most beloved youngest son, so this power falls on him."
Upon hearing this, Yu Cang frowned slightly.
He turned his head and looked at Lou Yan, only to see Lou Yan's eyes wide open, with a confused look on his face: "Ah? Me?"
"Of course," Fashi said, "Yu Cang, do you know? Changsheng fell into a deep sleep four thousand years ago, waking up once every thousand years, and then completely disappeared more than two thousand years ago. During this period, the Lou family gave birth to legends in every generation. This is not because the Lou family bloodline is so talented, but simply because they are stealing Changsheng's power."
Yu Cang frowned: "...Stealing? Can you become a legend just by stealing?"
Fa Shi nodded. "Of course. Changsheng is the supreme deity. A portion of his power is enough for a mortal without any talent to become a myth... However, stealing is still stealing. Soul card masters who enter the myth realm using this method will have a much shorter lifespan than a normal myth, probably only seven or eight hundred years."
Yu Cang was silent for a moment, and then asked Qiu Jindong:
"Qiu Zhenguo, the legend of the Hunter Clan, has never been interrupted? Are they all surnamed Lou?"
"I don't know." Qiu Zhenguo shook his head, "I only know that the current Emperor Khan Lou Tianren is a powerful man from the same era as Emperor Chang'an."
"I can't possibly lie to you about something like this," Fashi said. "Once you enter the Great King's Court, you can look for the records in the Sutra Library. If they're lies, they'll be exposed with a single blow."
Yu Cang nodded, thoughtfully.
"So according to what you said... as long as Lou Yan obtains this power, he can directly become a legend?"
"That's not that simple." Fashi shook his head. "After all, it's stealing, so we can't do it openly. Lou Yan needs to fast and recite scriptures day and night in front of the Golden Throne in the Great King's Court. When he can resonate with Changsheng's will in the dark, he can gradually accept the power, and there will be no bottlenecks on the road of cultivation.
"Generally speaking, those who inherit this stealing authority are those with excellent understanding. Therefore, by the time they are in their thirties or forties, they can successfully become legends."
Yu Cang understood: "So, the Imperial Master wants Lou Yan to return alive because he now has the authority?"
"Yes." Fashi nodded. "Those who ascend to mythical status through this method will have a shorter lifespan, but the Changsheng Sect has secret methods that can extend lifespan to a certain extent. Therefore, every Imperial Preceptor is the exclusive medical officer of the Emperor Khan.
"With this status, it wouldn't be too difficult to do anything. Originally, Lou Tianren, as a mythical being, wouldn't be fooled by the Imperial Master. But Sa Jue, that fellow, is secretly aided by the Desolate Sect, so... judging by the time, Emperor Khan should be nearing the end of his life."
Fashi's expression grew slightly more serious. "By then... Lou Yan must sit on the Golden Throne. Otherwise, this authority will likely be in jeopardy."
"Something's wrong? The Imperial Master wouldn't want another Emperor Khan to emerge from the Grand Court, would he?"
"The Imperial Master must have a method of grafting flowers and trees—he himself possesses the divine artifact passed down by Changsheng. If he inherits the power, it will be tantamount to Changsheng being alive. By then, even if your Yan Nation's Di Changan and Ye Yan come together, they will not be their opponent!"
Yu Cang didn't react when he heard this. Wen Renge beside him suddenly snorted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense here. Are you allowed to talk about the myths of our Yan Nation?"
"...In short, you certainly wouldn't want the Imperial Master to do all this."
Yu Cang nodded, and then asked: "And then?"
"Then?"
"what are you up to."
"I……"
Fashi lowered his head and clasped his hands together.
After a long time, he said.
"I want to awaken Changsheng - I didn't lie to you about this, this is my ultimate goal - the Great King's Court has stolen Changsheng's power for thousands of years, which is enough to prove that Changsheng really exists, and there must be a way to awaken him.
"As long as Changsheng is awakened, all the demons and monsters in the Changsheng Tent will naturally have nowhere to escape. Then, the Changsheng Tent will once again turn into a golden and jade paradise!"
Fa Shi took a deep breath.
When he said this, his expression was serious and pious, without a trace of falsehood in his eyes.
Then, he looked at Yu Cang: "Yu Cang, I have secretly investigated for many years. The power stolen by the Great King's Court through the Golden Throne is sourced from the top of Lingguang Mountain! On the chanting day in a few days, I will carry the will of all living beings and ring the bell and chant the scriptures at the top of Lingguang Mountain! And-"
He pointed at Lou Yan.
"Return the power stolen by the Lou family to Changsheng. Then, He will surely wake up!"
Yu Cang nodded: "Good plan."
"Yu Cang, do you think I can succeed?"
"perhaps."
"You don't believe it, right?" Fashi's eyes flashed with a hint of madness. "I know none of you would believe that a legendary figure who has been dead for four thousand years could be resurrected! It doesn't matter, I believe it!
"Yu Cang, there's no turning back on this plan... Keep me here, and we'll go to Lingshan. If I fail, the power that Changsheng has stored atop Lingguang Mountain for thousands of years will dissipate like a broken dam. The Imperial Master has been operating in the Changsheng Tent for many years with the help of the Desolate Sect, aiming for this power. If that power dissipates...
"Not to mention the Imperial Master, even the Desolate Sect behind them will be left empty-handed. This will definitely benefit you!"
Yu Cang: "What if you succeed?"
"Success? Eternal resurrection, another legend in the world—what does one more legend mean in this world? Didn't you say you have to deal with far more than just the Desolate Sect? With one more legend, you can do more, right?"
After Fa Shi said this, he looked at Yu Cang with anticipation.
Yu Cang did not speak, but remained silent.
The chariot passed silently through the place where it landed. Yu Cang looked up at the sky, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Longevity.
This myth is shrouded in mystery.
Fashi was still gambling, gambling that he didn't believe he could succeed, and then supporting his actions to use them to fight against the imperial teacher.
However, Yu Cang had to consider the situation where the interpretation was successful.
A myth awakened from ancient times... At that time, banning cards, living sacrifices, etc. could still be considered righteous means. Could the immortality that they were accustomed to really help them fight against Huang?
Maybe, he will turn around and fall into Huang's arms and become his enemy.
"The risk of allowing you to resurrect and live forever..." Yu Cang said slowly, "is a bit too high."
Fa Shi: “…”
"It sounds like my best option right now is to kill Lou Yan."
Lou Yan: “?”
No, wait!
He gasped.
What's going on? Why do you suddenly want to kill him?
Fashi was also a little panicked and said quickly: "No... We can't do this! Lou Yan is just a carrier of power. Killing him will not erase the power itself... The Imperial Master definitely has the means to restore power. It is better to keep the power in his hands as it is now..."
"I know." Yu Cang smiled, "It was just a joke."
“…This isn’t funny.”
"I promise you, but there is a condition."
Upon hearing this, Fashi breathed a sigh of relief.
"You tell me, I will definitely cooperate!"
"Before the sutra chanting day, you must take me with you." Yu Cang pointed at Fashi, "Let's go together and meet Changsheng first."
"Ah?" Fashi was stunned. "Changsheng hasn't woken up yet, how can we see this..."
"Whether it's meeting the carriers of that power or a certain residual soul, I want to meet Changsheng—you can do it, right?"
"…What are you going to do?"
"Get insurance."
Fa Shi lowered his head and bit his lips lightly.
After a long pause, he nodded very seriously: "Okay... I agree."
In fact, he had already relaxed in his heart.
From what he said, Yu Cang wanted to judge Changsheng's position first, and then decide whether to let Fashi wake him up.
But when they arrived at Lingguang Mountain, Yu Cang could no longer stop him.
"Don't be so hasty to relax." Yu Cang suddenly said, "This information is not enough for me to let you go."
Fa Shi: “…”
"Go on, about the Imperial Master."
"……good."
aside
Qiu Jindong put Salan's head in a small box.
Then, sit cross-legged in the corner.
He took off the card box from his waist and took out a soul card.
The Sword of the King of Heaven's Tomb.
This soul card is now dim and dull.
Just now… the moment the evil god descended, the three Shenshan Dragon Elephants joined forces to attack him and directly shattered his Tianmu King Sword.
There is no doubt that after leaving the God-condemned Wasteland, this super-level legendary soul card has been disconnected.
Soul cards of this level are still in a fully connected state. Once disconnected... it will take at least a week to reconnect, unless it is a soul card with special abilities. If it is longer, it may take a month.
However, he was about to enter the Longevity Tent, so he couldn't be in poor condition.
Taking a deep breath, Qiu Jindong seemed to have made a decision.
He slowly released his fingers, but the Soul Card, which had lost its support, did not fall down. Instead, it slowly floated up, and in a burst of golden light, it gradually turned translucent.
What he was going to perform was a technique that only high-level soul card masters would use.
Force connection!
It takes a long time to insert high-level soul cards into soul cards and establish connections... In some critical moments, you won't have so much time.
This technique allows the Soul Card Master to establish a connection with the Soul Card in a short period of time!
However, the price is that once the soul card connected in this way is disconnected again, then no matter whether it is deep or shallow... this soul card will be directly shattered.
Qiu Jindong has been using this soul card for a long time, so long that it has left an indelible mark in the soul energy well. If he loses it, he may become a disabled person.
Logically speaking, this soul card has only disconnected the shallow connection now, so there is no need to use this technique.
But... when the time comes, this is all we can do.
