“It’s finally here!”
Shen Yuan looked at the Tiangang magical power on the system interface in front of him, and couldn't help but smile.
After suppressing the unrest in the Xianghuo Fayu, he stayed in the imperial capital just to witness Xia Yunqiu's ascension to the throne.
Previously, Shen Yuan suppressed the rebellion in the Xianghuo Dharma Realm, and its influence spread to the entire Xuanhuang Realm. During that period, Gong Buyu, who was his personal disciple, even killed Emperor Xia.
But such a big thing, apart from successfully making a fortune from the incense and fire domain, did not trigger the hidden task of the artificial intelligence system, which made Shen Yuan quite confused.
It was not until he witnessed Xia Yunqiu's ascension to the throne that Shen Yuan finally received the prompt that the hidden task was completed.
With the help of this hidden mission, Shen Yuan had some vague guesses about the operating logic of the artificial intelligence system.
“It seems that the triggering of the hidden mission is not just about making a big fuss.
The giant hand that took away the incense domain was witnessed by the entire Xuanhuang Realm. If it was just to make a big noise and spread fame, that giant hand alone would be enough to trigger the hidden achievement, but this was not the case.
Becoming the leader of Luoyun Sect, defeating Zhulong Sword Master, suppressing Yunmeng Dragon Palace, and conferring the title of Jidu Dragon King. The time and space corresponding to these hidden achievements are all tens of thousands of years ago.
Although the passage of thousands of years has brought about differences in time, it cannot conceal the essence of things thousands of years ago that correspond to these hidden achievements. "
Shen Yuan tapped the stone table lightly with his index finger, with stars flickering in his eyes.
"Legend. Witness"
After thinking for a while, Shen Yuan temporarily gave up thinking about the triggering conditions of the hidden achievement.
“The source of information is too single, and they are all hidden achievements that will be triggered after ten thousand years.
If one could use the Tianyuan secret order to travel back through time to ten thousand years ago and trigger a hidden achievement in that space and time, one might have the opportunity to uncover its essence.
Retracting his chaotic thoughts, Shen Yuan focused his attention on the system interface in front of him.
Reaching out and touching it lightly, all the information about the Returning Wind and Returning Fire magical power appeared before Shen Yuan's eyes.
Returning Wind and Fire (the 30th position of Tiangang): Holding the Great Dao of Time and Yin, it can cause things to develop in reverse, with strong winds rolling back and flames shrinking. (Reversing time and reversing cause and effect, its power is infinite.)
The 30th among the Tiangang, it ranks last among all the Tiangang methods, only a few points higher than the Seven Arrows with Nailed Heads great magical power, and far inferior to the Rain-Calling and Nine Breaths to Subdue the Qi great magical powers mastered by Shen Yuan.
The great magical power of returning wind and returning fire is similar to the great magical power of nailing seven arrows. It does not retain the origin of the Great Dao. This means that even if one masters the great magical power of returning wind and returning fire, it is difficult to use it to reach the realm of Daluo.
Judging from the information in front of us, the great supernatural power of returning wind and fire is far inferior to the other great supernatural powers, and is even inferior to the two great earthly supernatural powers of communicating with the dead and driving away the gods.
It seems that such a magical power may not be of much value to Shen Yuan, who now has many cards up his sleeve.
However, the fact is just the opposite. Shen Yuan attaches much more importance to the great ability of returning wind and returning fire than one might imagine.
Because the great supernatural power of returning wind and fire is the great supernatural power of time, the supernatural power involving the great way of time is hard to find in all realms.
Except for a small number of natural gods with extraordinary talents, only those who have comprehended the origin of the Dao and reached the realm of Daluo are qualified to step into the long river of history and comprehend the Dao of Time.
Even if the Shinto Emperor or Daluo Tianzun is at the pinnacle, although he has the ability to interfere with time, he may not necessarily have the method of the great magical power of time.
What's more, Returning Wind and Returning Fire is one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Powers, and its status is also top-notch among the great magical powers of time. If one can comprehend it completely, one may even be able to get a glimpse of the origin of the Avenue of Time.
Among all the realms, the previous one who controlled the origin of the Avenue of Time was named Zhulong, and he was an innate god standing at the top of all the realms.
But in the end, because the lineage of innate gods gradually declined under the suppression of heaven, Zhulong relied on his innate magical powers to cross the long river of history and forcibly modify history and reverse cause and effect.
This action angered the original Great Celestial Lord, who was known as the cause of all results. The Great Celestial Lord traveled across the long river of history to kill the Zhulong of all time points. When he died, the gods of all realms cried, and their blood spilled in the heavens.
The Zhulong Immortal Sword in Shen Yuan's hand was made from a piece of ordinary iron stained with Zhulong's blood.
Although Zhulong has died, the Great Primordial Heavenly Venerable will let his name be passed down in Taoist sects in order to deter those who disrupt the cause and effect of time and space.
Shen Yuan, holding the Zhulong Sword, had also looked up relevant information and was naturally familiar with this legend.
Although Zhulong, who controlled the origin of the Avenue of Time, eventually fell, the fact that the Great Venerable could personally take action was enough to show his extraordinaryness and the power of the Avenue of Time.
With a slight sigh in his heart, Shen Yuan chose to accept the great magical power of returning wind and fire.
In an instant, Shen Yuan felt that the scene in front of him changed. When his vision stabilized again, the scene in front of him turned into a wilderness.
Shen Yuan's heart was shocked, and he activated his star-number ability to investigate the scene before him, only to find that everything in his sight was not a false illusion.
Shen Yuan seemed to have thought of something, his expression changed slightly and then returned to his original calmness, quietly staring at the scene in front of him.
The scenery seemed to be accelerated countless times, and everything in sight began to change rapidly. The ancient city built in the distance expanded and gradually incorporated this place into the scope of the city.
Simple wooden houses were built in this area, and then people replaced them, and they experienced the cycle of birth, aging, sickness and death.
Then a war struck this place, turning everything into ruins. After that, dynasties changed and the simple wooden houses turned into stone buildings and then into luxurious mansions.
Here, there were loving couples who grew old together, generals who hosted soldiers from all over the country to sing and drink, scholars who studied late into the night for ten years, and monks who studied the Daoist scriptures and practiced hard for a hundred years.
The images are moving faster and faster, and as time goes by, everything seems to have lost its meaning.
Finally, the scene freezes back to the luxurious Langhuan Garden in front of us.
The history of countless years passing by in the courtyard turned into drops of water in the long river of history and appeared in front of Shen Yuan. This was the seed of the great magical power of returning the wind and returning the fire.
Water drops fell into Shen Yuan's eyes, and his magical power of returning wind and fire returned to its original state.
Feeling the changes in his body, Shen Yuan looked at the surrounding environment again. With the blessing of the great magical power of returning wind and fire, everything began to change.
He could clearly see the traces of time as the trees in the courtyard grew, and things changed and extended into the future.
Because the Huiming Sword originally had the Avenue of Time left over, and because it had once traveled thousands of years back to the past, Shen Yuan had an excellent affinity with the great power of Returning the Wind and Returning the Fire.
Even though he had just refined the seed of supernatural power, Shen Yuan had already vaguely gained some insights.
In the courtyard, a breeze blew, and a green leaf from the jujube tree slowly fell in the wind.
Shen Yuan focused his eyes and used the power of the Avenue of Time that he had just realized.
The next moment, time reversed, the leaves that fell to the ground flew back to the original date tree, the broken cracks healed again, and even the breeze that blew past returned to the starting point.
The time reversal stopped, and then the breeze that returned to the starting point blew by, and the leaves swayed as if they were about to fall back to the ground.
Shen Yuan raised his right hand, and a magical power protected the leaves to prevent them from being blown off.
But at this moment, the branches swayed gently in the breeze, causing the shaky leaves to fall to the ground again.
Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, staring at the traces of the passing time, and said in surprise:
"Is this the inertia brought about by time and cause and effect?"
Shen Yuan used his magic power to prevent the leaves from being blown away by the breeze, but the inertia of reversing time still caused the leaves to fall in another way.
During this process, Shen Yuan noticed some signs of causal interference.
If Shen Yuan put in some effort, he could definitely stop such a weak causal interference. After all, the falling leaves were just a small matter to Shen Yuan and the whole world. But seeing the big picture from the small, Shen Yuan could imagine how terrifying the power of causal interference would be if time was reversed to modify the key nodes of history.
“I’m afraid that only by becoming the master of the great divine power of Tiangang, and anchoring this body with the only power in all the worlds, can one ignore the power of cause and effect interference.
Otherwise, even if you have extraordinary magical powers, you still cannot resist the terrifying inertia brought about by cause and effect."
With this thought in mind, Shen Yuan no longer used the Avenue of Time that he had comprehended, but directly displayed the great magical power of returning the wind and fire that he had just mastered.
Time goes back and the leaves return to the date tree again.
The breeze still blew, but this time it did not blow down the leaves. Shen Yuan could feel that the cause and effect of time inertia was offset by the unique characteristic of the Tiangang Great Divine Ability in the world.
No matter what has happened in the past, with the One and Only in All Worlds as an anchor, everything you are experiencing now is real.
If there is no unique characteristic among all the worlds, even if you have the great magical power of time, you still need to bear the causal backlash of time inertia.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Yuan sighed in a low voice with a look of shock in his eyes:
"This is the power of Tiangang Law!"
After only the first contact, Shen Yuan had already felt the power of the Return Wind and Return Fire magical power.
However, Shen Yuan is still far from mastering this great magical power, and entering a realm is even more out of reach.
It is conceivable what kind of changes will be brought about if the great magical power of returning wind and fire is achieved.
With this thought in mind, Shen Yuan slowly stood up from the stone table.
He extended his right index finger, and the Hu Tian magical power slowly cut through the space, and a space channel gradually took shape before his eyes.
When Shen Yuan was using the Hutian magical power, his expression suddenly changed, and it seemed that the Huifengfanhuo great magical power was in tune with the Hutian magical power.
It seems that as long as Shen Yuan is willing, he can add the power of time to the space channel in front of him and turn it into a space-time channel.
However, even Shen Yuan himself did not know where the created space-time channel would lead to.
"The Avenue of Space and Time?"
A hint of curiosity arose in Shen Yuan's eyes, but he did not try it casually. Instead, he slowly stepped into the opened space channel.
Shortly after Shen Yuan left, a crisp sound of footsteps was heard outside Langhuan Garden.
Xue Mingzhi walked in front, respectfully leading the way for those following behind him.
At this moment, Xue Mingzhi was also full of doubts. This man who had just succeeded to the throne did not entertain court ministers in the imperial city, but came to Xue's house secretly.
The person Xue Mingzhi was suspicious of was Xia Yunqiu, who had recently succeeded to the throne as the Human Emperor and became the Empress of Great Xia.
At this moment, Xia Yunqiu had already changed out of the imperial robes and put on simple casual clothes to conceal her aura.
But even so, the power of humanity still emanates from her from time to time, making people feel awe.
When they reached the gate of Langhuan Garden, Xue Mingzhi spoke softly:
"Sir, you will rest in Langhuan Garden these days. Your Majesty, please do as you please."
Xia Yunqiu nodded, took a deep breath, and stepped into Langhuan Garden.
In this exquisite courtyard, Xia Yunqiu did not see the familiar figure. Only the remaining breath proved that the other person had just left.
"Master, you still don't want to see me?"
A trace of loneliness flashed across Xia Yunqiu's face.
The powerful Empress of Great Xia had a look of confusion on her face.
When she was in the most danger, Shen Yuan rescued her from Shen Yuan and even gave her a plan to subvert the original order of Da Xia.
When she successfully succeeded to the throne of the Human Emperor and possessed almost everything, Shen Yuan chose to leave without any nostalgia.
Shen Yuan gave her everything and made her the Queen of Great Xia, but he did not give her a chance to give back, which made Xia Yunqiu a little overwhelmed.
"What do I mean to him?"
Xia Yunqiu walked slowly to the stone table and reached out to touch the still warm teacup on the table.
At this moment, Xia Yunqiu's expression changed slightly.
She sat down where Shen Yuan had sat before and looked forward. The direction she was facing was the imperial city.
Looking across layers of space, Xia Yunqiu seemed to have overlapped with the figure who had been sitting here not long ago, and could even clearly see the scene above the altar.
"The Taoist priest has stayed in the imperial capital for such a long time just to witness my ascension to the throne!"
Xia Yunqiu's original loneliness was instantly replaced by surprise. She stood up from the stone bench, and there was no longer the previous dejection in her eyes.
Walking out of the courtyard with her long legs, Xia Yunqiu suddenly stopped. Her right hand brushed over the still warm teacup inconspicuously. The storage ring glowed faintly and the teacup disappeared quietly.
Then Xia Yunqiu walked out of Langhuan Garden as if nothing had happened.
Glancing at Xue Mingzhi who was standing outside, Xia Yunqiu, still with a hint of joy on her face, spoke:
"The Taoist priest has left."
"From now on, you will be appointed as the Junior Supervisor of the Imperial Observatory and will be stationed in the three states of the Southern Region to manage the affairs of the Imperial Observatory."
Two months passed quickly, and the entire Daxia seemed to have returned to the state before the change of imperial power.
In Wencheng, in the training room of the secret courtyard, Shen Yuan slowly woke up from his contemplation.
In two months, Shen Yuan had already gained a preliminary grasp of the great magical power of returning the wind and returning the fire.
As a great divine power of the Heavenly Gang, if one wants to sit in meditation and comprehend it to take it to a higher level, it will take at least years. Shen Yuan obviously does not have so much time to spend on this.
In less than ten years, the fake Qingxu Tianzun will descend to the sky and incarnate, so Shen Yuan does not have much time to waste.
“My Yang God is complete, I could have broken through to the realm of refining the spirit and returning to the void long ago.
But it will take at least a year for the Xuanhuang Realm's heaven and earth rules to recover to the point where I can break through the realm of spirit refining, and during this period my cultivation will not make any progress at all."
"Compared to sitting still and contemplating magical powers, there is a better choice."
As soon as he thought of this, Shen Yuan stretched out his right hand into the void, and the Tianyuan Secret Order appeared in his hand.
