Jiuzhou, the most fertile land in the Xuanhuang Realm, is also the most core territory occupied by the entire human race.
Strictly speaking, the Jiuzhou area is the real territory of the Dayin Dynasty. The thirty-six regions outside the Jiuzhou are mostly under remote control. The Dayin Dynasty and the major cave paradises and the masters of the divine system are governed separately.
But within Jiuzhou, the Dayin Dynasty has absolute control.
After experiencing the severance of connection between heaven and earth for thousands of years, the long period of spiritual energy depletion and broken rules caused the territory of Xuanhuang Realm to shrink greatly, and it was no longer as vast as the world at its peak.
Later, the successive dynasties and turmoil completely broke up the Nine Provinces and Thirty-Six Regions, which had shrunk dozens of times in territory, and divided the Humane Dynasty into eighteen provinces.
However, in the prosperous era of humanity tens of thousands of years ago, the territory of each major state within the Nine Provinces far exceeded the sum of the eighteen states in later generations.
Moreover, within Jiuzhou, the fortune of humanity is at an unprecedented high. The accumulation of tens of thousands of years of human beings in the Xuanhuang Realm and the recognition of human beings in various realms outside the Xuanhuang Realm, all the infinite fortune of humanity has gathered here.
The reason why the lord of the pantheon like Lord Donghuang dared not set foot in the land of Jiuzhou was not just because he was afraid of the majesty of the Dayin Dynasty.
More importantly, this majestic destiny of humanity will always suppress foreign gods that are not recognized by humanity.
The God who was comparable to Lianxu was demoted to a God in heaven here, and the Lord of the God system was forcibly suppressed from his status as a God.
Outside of Jiuzhou, Donghuang Divine Lord can rely on his powerful cultivation to run rampant, but within Jiuzhou, it only takes two Dao Lords holding the Human Emperor's edict to kill a Divine Lord.
It is precisely because the suppression of alien gods and evil demons by the land of Jiuzhou has reached an extremely terrifying level that all forces have huddled outside Jiuzhou and dare not invade the core area of the human race.
Most of Shen Yuan's knowledge about Jiuzhou comes from ancient books handed down to later generations, and he is unable to confirm the authenticity of the information.
But as Shen Yuan, who holds great humanity in his heart, personally steps into this vast world, he can be sure that what later generations say is not false.
Being in the land of Jiuzhou, Shen Yuan could clearly feel that the great trend of humanity in his body was reviving. The poor fortune of humanity in later generations was far from being comparable to the prosperous humanity ten thousand years ago.
Even though this world has long been controlled by Emperor Dayin, the human trend within his body is still echoing the destiny of humanity in the sky.
If one could use one percent of it, he could easily suppress the immortals in the world.
His mind was slightly agitated, but then Shen Yuan suppressed the crazy thoughts in his mind.
Tens of thousands of years of accumulation have already made the Dayin Dynasty's control over the Nine Provinces extremely powerful.
Even though Shen Yuan holds great power over humanity, any chance he takes to interfere with the fate of humanity will be noticed by the Emperor Dayin in the imperial capital.
What awaits Shen Yuan by then will no longer be just a mere god, but the foundation of the entire Dayin Dynasty for tens of thousands of years.
With the magical power of stars in his body running, Shen Yuan looked up at the sky. Even under the clear sky in broad daylight, Shen Yuan could still see the stars in the sky hanging high above the worlds.
Following the guidance of the stars, Shen Yuan determined that this place was Youzhou, one of the Nine Provinces.
With the help of Hu Tian's magical power, Shen Yuan's gaze crossed the distance of space and quickly locked onto the largest city within a radius of thousands of miles.
This city is surrounded by many towns, and practitioners flying in the sky travel back and forth above this big city. The incense and human fortune of the City God Temple cover the entire city.
Shen Yuan casually opened up a space channel, strode into it, and walked towards the city.
In Chuyang City, in a remote courtyard.
Shen Yuan in the training room stopped breathing in and out and slowly opened his eyes.
It has been half a month since Shen Yuan entered Chuyang City. During this period of time, he has been consolidating his cultivation realm while observing whether Lord Donghuang is following him.
After confirming that Lord Donghuang had not set foot in Jiuzhou, Shen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and began to concentrate on comprehending the Dharma of the Great Dao.
This method of Dharma created by Shen Yuan based on his own foundation is no longer simply limited to magical powers, but is closer to the manifestation of the Great Dao. Its foundation is unfathomable.
Even when facing the Giant Mountain God whose realm was far beyond his own, Shen Yuan still failed to mobilize the full power of the Great Dao Dharma. He was able to kill him with only the Dharma derived from the Dharmas of Exorcising Spirits, Passing Through the Netherworld, and Subduing the Nine Breaths.
Although the Giant Mountain God was far away from the Incense Realm and cut off the replenishment of the power of the Incense God, and all his magical powers were restrained by Shen Yuan, he was able to be killed so easily, but this still did not affect the power of the Great Dao Dharma.
You should know that the major Dharma forms such as Calling Rain, Returning Wind and Fire, and Seven Arrows have never even appeared in the world, and many of the magical powers of the Earthly Evils have never been used from beginning to end.
Once the Dharma of the Great Dao is combined with supernatural powers, the power that is unleashed will be increased to several levels.
The more Shen Yuan comprehended the Dao's Dharma, the more he could feel that the power of the Dao's Dharma did not only lie in the foundation of the Heavenly Gangs and Earthly Evils, but more importantly, it was the God of Dharma who controlled all paths and evolved into countless things.
With just a wave of your hand you can trigger the power of the heavenly and earthly demons. No matter how many magical powers you have, I have all the methods to restrain them.
Of course, although the Dao Dharma is powerful, it is not without weaknesses.
During this period of contemplation, Shen Yuan gradually realized the shortcomings of the Dao Dharma itself.
The magical powers of Tiangang and Disha are too powerful, symbolizing the origin of all paths, even if the Dharma image of the Great Dao only incorporates a part of the power of Tiangang and Disha.
Such powerful divine powers as the Heavenly Gang and the Earthly Demons can derive all laws from the laws of the universe, but they are unable to integrate the power of all divine powers as Shen Yuan had imagined before.
At this stage, Shen Yuan is using the Dharma Image of the Great Dao. If he wants to use other magical powers, he can only switch between different Dharma Images, but cannot do it effortlessly and seamlessly.
Although it is powerful enough, it can hardly be called Tao.
This made Shen Yuan realize that if he wanted to integrate the power of the Tiangang and Disha magical powers, he had to take the Dao Dharma to a higher level.
In the training room, stars were moving in front of Shen Yuan's eyes. The shadow of the Dao behind him changed, revealing a Taoist who seemed to be made up of starlight. In front of him was a huge chessboard.
The chessboard is dotted with stars, and the trails of stars are intertwined between the chess pieces.
Shen Yuan's thoughts flowed, and his great supernatural power of returning wind and fire was activated, and the method of astrological deduction was combined with the Avenue of Time.
The world line seemed to split at this moment. On that chessboard of stars, every deduction was interpreting countless possibilities for the future for Shen Yuan.
After three full days, the deduction of the stars finally stopped, and the Dharma image of the Great Dao turned into a dim light and dissipated behind Shen Yuan.
But there was no sign of fatigue in Shen Yuan's eyes; instead, they were filled with joy.
With the help of the supernatural power of star numbers and the great supernatural power of returning wind and fire, Shen Yuan vaguely had the answer in his heart as to how to take the Dharma of the Great Dao to a further step.
"Dear guest, the method of practicing the Disha Magical Power that you require is too rare and our Chamber of Commerce does not have any of it included.
However, there are still three incomplete volumes of mysterious magical powers in the Chamber of Commerce. I wonder if you are interested?"
"The cultivation methods of the Earthly Demon Divine Power? Although some of the cultivation methods of the Earthly Demon Divine Power that have been passed down in an orderly manner are indeed circulated in the outside world, those things are not only expensive, but no one can imitate the Dao rhyme in them. This has led to the scarcity of these Earthly Demon Divine Power cultivation methods. The actual value is not high, but the selling price is extremely high. It may even be hated by those blessed places with inheritance, and few chambers of commerce dare to sell them."
"Only those old-fashioned chambers of commerce with a blessed land behind them have the ability to sell this kind of items."
“Chuyang City is just a medium-sized fairy city, I’m afraid we can’t find what you are looking for.
You may consider going to the main city of Youzhou, maybe you can gain something."
Since that day when he completed the subsequent deduction of the Dao's Dharma, Shen Yuan temporarily put aside his cultivation and began to wander around the major chambers of commerce in Chuyang City.
As one of the big cities in Youzhou, Chuyang City even has the True Lord Lianxu in charge. There are many chambers of commerce and treasure pavilions in the city, and rare treasures are endless.
However, Shen Yuan’s goal was not the treasures in the Chamber of Commerce that were hard to find after ten thousand years, but the method of practicing the Earthly Demonic Powers that Shen Yuan had obtained ten thousand years ago.
Shen Yuan did not forget that the biggest gain from his last time traveling through time was two earthly magical powers that he could practice.
Shen Yuan has entered the third level of the star-numbering magic power. This method of deducing the stars and spying on the secrets of heaven has been of great help to Shen Yuan and has helped him get out of trouble many times.
As for the other magical power to take the moon, Shen Yuan was worried that he would bite off more than he could chew, so he passed it on to his direct disciple Gong Buyu.
Gong Buyu did not disappoint Shen Yuan's expectations and stepped onto Taiyin Avenue by relying on his moon-taking magical power.
However, this time, the attempt to replicate the previous gains was repeatedly met with setbacks in Chuyang City.
In the huge Chuyang City, there was no chamber of commerce or treasure pavilion that had the method of practicing the Earthly Demonic Power, which made Shen Yuan very disappointed.
When he wanted to find the Wanwu Chamber of Commerce, he was told that it was not in Youzhou.
At this stage, Shen Yuan possesses the first and second Disha magical powers, as well as several Tiangang magical powers. His own foundation has surpassed the vast majority of the powerful people in the fairyland.
Even if he had a few more Earthly Demonic Powers, it might not be of any help to Shen Yuan, but the actual situation was not so.
Because Shen Yuan deduced the Dharma of the Great Dao, he obtained a method to take the Dharma of the Great Dao a step further, which is to incorporate more Earthly Evil magical powers into the Dharma of the Great Dao.
Shen Yuan's Dao Dharma is composed of two parts, one of which is the three and a half great divine powers of Tiangang, the only characteristic in the world that occupies an absolute dominant position.
The other part includes the five earthly magical powers including Tongyou, Qushen, Hutian, swordsmanship and star numbers.
Although the five Earthly Demonic Powers seem rare, they are full of the first and second Earthly Demonic Powers which possess the two great origins.
The first two magical powers of the Earthly Demons melted into the Dharma image of the Great Dao, and combined with the three magical powers of Hu Tian, swordsmanship, and star numbers, Shen Yuan vaguely sensed that the many magical powers of the Earthly Demons formed some kind of wonderful connection within the Dharma image of the Great Dao.
This situation has never been recorded in any ancient book. Throughout the ages, there has never been a person who possessed the two great earthly powers of communicating with the spirit world and driving away gods at the same time.
After Shen Yuan used the Star Number Magical Power and Returning Wind and Returning Fire to deduce, he finally realized the connection between these several Earthly Demon Magical Powers, which vaguely pointed to the essence of the Seventy-two Earthly Demon Magical Powers in the heavens.
If one could gather a certain level of Earthly Demonic Powers, it would bring about an unprecedented transformation to the Dao.
This is true for the Disha magical powers and the Tiangang magical powers.
However, the Tiangang supernatural power is unique in the world. It is difficult to obtain even through hidden achievements, and there is no trace of it at all.
On the contrary, for the Earthly Demonic Power, Shen Yuan has another way to obtain it besides the hidden achievement, which is to bring the method of practicing the Earthly Demonic Power to future generations.
The connection between heaven and earth was cut off for ten thousand years, and the long period of time caused many Taoist traditions to be cut off, and many earthly magical powers also went from having owners to being ownerless.
The changes brought about by the time difference allowed Shen Yuan to learn the lost Earthly Demon Magical Power from the ownerless Earthly Demon Magical Power cultivation method.
Therefore, searching for the method of practicing the Earthly Demon Magical Powers from tens of thousands of years ago is the easiest way to obtain the Earthly Demon Magical Powers.
Walking on the wide streets of Chuyang City, Shen Yuan frowned slightly and thought intently.
"Right now, I possess five types of Earthly Demonic Powers. At this level, I can only vaguely sense the connection between the Great Dao Dharma and the Earthly Demonic Powers.
According to this progress, in order to truly allow the Dao Dharmakā to complete the transformation into the Earthly Demon, at least twelve or more Earthly Demon magical powers are needed, and the first and second Earthly Demon magical powers must be included.
The moon-taking ability that was taught to Gong Buyu is not considered for the time being. If you include the rain-praying ability of the eldest prince Ji Du and the corpse-transmutation ability that can be practiced after the death of the Lord of Beimang Mountain, there are only seven abilities left."
“There are still five gaps in the Divine Fiendish Powers. It is extremely difficult to complete this number of Divine Fiendish Powers by triggering hidden achievements.
Only by taking advantage of the interruption of inheritance brought about by the changes in time over ten thousand years, can we hope to gather the remaining five earthly evil powers."
Shen Yuan looked a little solemn. This was not a small number. You have to know that last time he brought back five volumes of methods for practicing the Earthly Demonic Power, but only two of them could be used for practice.
If this ratio is followed, at least ten volumes of methods for practicing the Earthly Demonic Powers must be collected.
You should know that the Earthly Evil Magical Power is not unique to the Xuanhuang Realm, but is also circulated in other realms. More than ten volumes of the Earthly Evil Magical Power are enough to occupy nearly half of the Earthly Evil Magical Power inheritance in the Xuanhuang Realm.
"It seems that we really need to search the main cities of each state."
As he spoke, Shen Yuan suddenly paused and turned to look at an alley behind him.
The expression on his face returned to indifference, and he slowly spoke:
"I've been following you for so long, it's time to come out."
As he spoke, the space behind Shen Yuan twisted slightly, and then a middle-aged man in brocade clothes appeared.
The man turned out to be a spiritual master with extraordinary cultivation. At this moment, he made a Taoist seal with his hands and bowed to Shen Yuan solemnly.
"My name is Xu Guan, and I'm here to meet Taoist Luo Yun!"
Shen Yuan glanced at Xu Guan's brocade clothes, which were embroidered with exquisite nine-headed bird patterns, and said with some surprise:
"Why are the Dayin Nine Phoenix Guards not staying in the Imperial City to protect the royal family, but coming to look for me?
Or does the Dayin royal family also want to make a deal with Donghuang Divine Monarch?"
Shen Yuan was not surprised that the Nine Phoenix Guards, who were protecting the Dayin royal family, found him.
For the Daxia royal family, there are no secrets in Jiuzhou, not to mention that Shen Yuan did not deliberately hide his tracks.
"Master Luoyun is joking." Xu Guan looked at the young man in front of him with extraordinary immortal appearance in awe.
He naturally did not dare to neglect the man in front of him who had killed a powerful Void Refining Master twice, and quickly explained:
"I am here on the orders of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, to invite you to the Imperial Capital for a chat."
