Chapter 59: San Zi leaves the border and the border is in danger
The black-robed man in the painting rushed around looking for a way out, but ended up in a mess, consuming a huge amount of his true energy. He saw Guang Jing snorted in dissatisfaction and shouted, "Zhou An, I admit that you have some skills, but this is just a clone of mine. Even if you destroy it, it won't be a big loss."
"Is this what you came here to say?" Zhou An asked.
The black-robed man looked at Zhou An in silence, then smiled and said, "I underestimated you. You should know about the battle between good and evil. I can tell you something you don't know. This time, the evil and evil ways have joined forces, and a total of 13 innate eighth and ninth level cultivators have appeared, while only six people from the righteous way have appeared.
Everyone knows that to deal with a demon of this level, at least two people of the same level are needed, and without the restraint of a magic treasure, the demon cannot be killed.
Although these righteous monks are arrogant, we have to admit that they have made great contributions to preventing the common people from being slaughtered by the demons. As the emperor, if you do not help the righteous path, once the righteous path is destroyed, you will face the evil demons alone. You should decide for yourself."
After the black-robed man finished speaking, his body turned into smoke and dissipated, leaving behind a corpse. He came here with great enthusiasm, but ended up being trapped in the world of the painting and unable to get out. He felt too embarrassed and simply gave up this clone.
Shu Yao covered her mouth and smiled, saying, "This person is very proud. He just abandoned the clone that he had worked so hard to refine. This can be used to his advantage."
Qi Hui said: "I was not sure at first, but now this person has come to remind me, which undoubtedly means that this person is the one behind the battle between good and evil. Even if he is not the one behind the battle, he must be directly related.
He is eager to drag the master into the water, and he is likely to intend to capture all the cultivators in the Qianyuan Empire. I think there will definitely be accidents in this battle."
After thinking for a while, Zhou An calculated the time and realized that Lingsha, Ziyan and the others should be out of retreat soon. He said to the empty space in front of him, "As soon as Lingsha, Ziyan, Ziqiong and Zixuan come out of retreat, let them come to see me."
"Yes." A purple-robed guard jumped out from the corner and answered.
Two days later, Zhou An was practicing the Tiandao Sect's sword-wielding skills in the backyard of the Kongling Immortal Mansion. Zi Yan, Zi Qiong and Zi Xuan came in from the backyard gate, their faces full of joy that could not be concealed. You know, they are all well-trained killers, which shows how happy they are about this breakthrough.
Of course, they now have absolute trust in Zhou An, so they show their emotions in front of him.
"Your Majesty." The three of them saluted and called out.
Zhou An waved his hand, and the Emperor Sword turned into a stream of red-gold light and flew into his body and disappeared. He turned around and looked at the three people and smiled, "Well, you have all reached the first level of the innate realm. How do you feel?"
"Thanks to the emperor's grace, our realm has been stabilized." Zi Yan was the first to speak.
"Well, this is the Kongling Immortal Palace. From today on, all the Purple Guards will become disciples of the Kongling Immortal Palace. You three sisters will be in charge of this place." Zhou An said.
"Yes." The three women accepted without hesitation. Now they were absolutely obedient to Zhou An.
Zhou An took out the Sky-High Book and gave it to the three girls, saying, "This is the best technique in the Sky-High Immortal Mansion. Only girls can practice it. It will stay in the Immortal Mansion from now on. Except for the three of you, no one else can practice it without my permission.
You can ask Shuyao for the cultivation techniques of the disciples of Kongling Xianfu, and you can decide how to distribute them according to the disciples' merits, but you are not allowed to pass them on to others, otherwise you will be sentenced to death." Zhou An said.
After the three women responded that they understood, Zhou An waved his hand and three sets of treasures appeared in front of each of the three women.
In front of Zi Yan were twenty-four Xunfeng flying rings, a set of top-grade spiritual treasures. There was also a purple feather robe, a mid-grade spiritual treasure, which was used exclusively by disciples of the Kongling Immortal Mansion. There were many of them in the Immortal Mansion's treasury, and of course the three of them got the highest grade.
Ziqiong got the Ice Aurora Sword, which was also a top-grade spiritual treasure. It was a treasure refined by the fairy Kongling, imitating her own Kongling Xuanbing Sword. Its power was second only to the fairy treasure. There was also a set of the same purple feather robes.
Zi Xuan got the top-grade spiritual treasure, the Ice Spirit Divine Pearl, which was also a rare treasure in the Kongling Immortal Mansion. The same grade of purple feather robes were also indispensable.
The three of them were filled with joy when they received the treasures. For practitioners, the most favorite things are skills and magic weapons.
Thanking him with joy, Zhou An nodded and said, "Go and convey my will. All Purple Guards will join the Kongling Immortal Mansion and practice the Kongling Immortal Mansion's skills. Magical treasures can be distributed according to their previous merits. Magical treasures can only be awarded after great merits.
Now that everyone has just started practicing, you can act according to your own circumstances and speed up the improvement of your overall strength. In the future, you need to strictly enforce the rules. If you encounter something you don’t understand during your practice, you can come here to ask Shuyao for advice.”
"Yes." The three women responded and immediately turned and left.
Zhou Lingsha also came out of retreat the next day. Zhou An gave her the top-grade spiritual treasure, the Wan Yao Flying Blade. This flying knife can usually form a pair of blade wings, integrating offense and defense. It can also be separated into 365 flying knives for attack, with extraordinary power.
There is also the top-grade spiritual treasure Tianfeng Seal, which can transform into a mountain and smash the opponent after being released.
Zhou Lingsha was asked to join the Tiandao Sect and practice the Tiandao Jue, the highest martial art of the Tiandao Sect, and all the Jinyiwei were asked to join the Tiandao Sect. However, he only got the martial arts from the Tiandao Sect and was unable to distribute magic weapons.
They could only give them the magic weapons that they had confiscated from the monks before. Unfortunately, most of these were mid-grade or high-grade magic weapons, and there were not many spiritual treasures. They were all given to several commanders to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Jinyiwei.
Afterwards, Zhou Lingsha was asked to arrange for all the Jinyiwei to join the Tiandao Sect, and she was also asked to refine the magic weapon given to her as soon as possible.
The elixir of emptiness was not given to them for fear that they would bring about a heavenly calamity if they took it.
Now Zhou An has learned the sword escape of the Tiandao Sect. The Emperor Sword has been retracted into his body. He can control the sword light to fly, which can be regarded as the real sword flying.
This kind of flying speed that turns into a stream of light is extremely fast. He has envied it for a long time. Finally, he can fly freely in the sky and can basically cross the entire Qianyuan Empire within an hour.
After that, he practiced at night, and signed in at various places during the day to light up the map of mountains, rivers, and the country.
If you sign in at an ordinary place, you will get ordinary items. For example, if you sign in at a mountain, you will get precious natural treasures. If you sign in at a martial arts sect, you will get the sect's most famous martial arts.
Immortal cultivation sects usually have mountain protection formations. Even if he is the emperor, he cannot force his way in. Doing so will offend too many people and eventually cause big problems. So for the time being, he should not touch the immortal cultivation sects.
Fortunately, there are not many sects of immortal cultivation within the Qianyuan Empire.
Signing in to a village means you get the best local specialties. Signing in to other cities is naturally more troublesome. Houses are signed in by area, and famous restaurants or scenic spots are signed in separately.
Most of what you get are paintings and calligraphy, antiques, and delicacies when you sign in at restaurants. When you sign in at banks, silver vaults, jewelry stores, etc., you will naturally get gold, silver, and gems.
All the places checked in are closely related to this place and are definitely the best things.
Ever since the last time the man in black robe came, no one dared to break into the palace. It was so quiet for two months, and it was the end of the year. Qianjing also began to decorate its buildings in preparation for the New Year.
His small treasury was filled again, and even reached the point where he was rich enough to rival a country.
The Qianyuan Empire was a superpower, and Shangguan Rong was very capable and good at governing the country, so the treasury was becoming increasingly full. The amount of gold and silver in the treasury was already far more than when the previous emperor was in power, which showed how much money Zhou An had now.
This does not include all kinds of rare treasures, medicinal materials, precious gems, etc.
That day he got up from bed as usual, and Zi Yan, Zi Qiong and Zi Xuan also got up to help him dress and prepare breakfast before going out to sign in.
Suddenly, a maid's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the Queen wants to see you."
Zhou An was surprised. He thought that the queen should be ready to go to court at this time. He quickly put on his clothes and went to the hall first.
When the queen saw him, she didn't bother to greet him and said directly: "Your Majesty, the left prime minister has sent an urgent military message. The border of the Western Regions has been attacked by evil forces, and they are trying to force the pass and let people infected with voodoo rush in.
The left prime minister has ordered the army to shoot the infected people who rushed in, but there were evil people at the acquired level who relied on magic weapons to cause trouble, and many soldiers were killed and injured. "
Zhou An frowned, and when he saw Zi Yan and the other two girls coming out, he immediately said, "Zi Yan, Zi Qiong, Zi Xuan, listen to my orders."
The three women immediately stepped forward to salute. Zhou An said, "You all take ten purple-robed guards each and quickly meet up with the left prime minister Zhou Di to help him guard the border. If you are defeated, send a letter to me via flying sword."
"Yes." The three women left immediately and flew directly to the border on their swords.
The Queen said worriedly, "Your Majesty, it is obvious that someone wants to use witchcraft to harm our Daqian. From what the Left Prime Minister reported, I am afraid that most of the countries in the Western Regions are victims."
"Now that the evil demons are gathering in Qianjing, Wu Yue and I must stay in the palace." Zhou An frowned. Although he is now as powerful as those powerful men, the enemy will come secretly, so he can only find the hidden enemy first before fighting back.
Opponents who come forward directly are basically novices. Anyone with some strength and ability will not do anything like coming forward to seek a fight.
Shangguan Rong showed a guilty look and said, "You blame me for being incompetent and unable to share the emperor's worries. If I had the same power as Lady Baihua, I could go to the Western Border to replace the emperor."
"You all have your own strengths. If you hadn't governed the country on my behalf, I wouldn't have had time to practice." Zhou An patted her hand to comfort her. What he said was indeed the truth. If Shangguan Rong hadn't done it for him, he wouldn't even have the time to go out and sign in, let alone go out to brush the map as freely as he does now.
After the queen left, he immediately went to Kongling Fairy Palace. He had already sensed that a force was invading the palace. Qihui was good at strategy and would be a good military advisor, so he went there to ask for her opinion.
After all, Zhou An has only traveled here for about half a year. The system can help him improve his strength, but it cannot help him grow from an ordinary person into a true emperor. Zhou An has to grow on his own.
