Chapter 15: Using the Sky as a Chess Game



The smell of gunpowder mixed with the smell of damp earth reminded Chen Kuang of his childhood New Year's celebrations in the countryside. The smell of cheap firecrackers seeped out from the half-melted snow piles and mixed into the early morning air.

He looked serious and wiped the oil off his hands.

The oil mixed in the water must have been man-made. It's conceivable that someone poured oil all over the wall, and then due to moisture, it seeped out through the large cracks in the wall.

Add gunpowder...

It's not hard to imagine what arrangements Li Hongling had made.

There might be secret passages under the ground and inside the walls of this prison, and she planned to raze the place to the ground with a large amount of gunpowder.

I just don't know how wide the range of the gunpowder deployment is.

Chen Kuang had no expression on his face.

No wonder…

Even though Li Hongling knew that he was a cultivator, she did not restrict his cultivation, but only broke his legs, and the supervision of the Heavenly Prison was not strict.

It wasn't that she hadn't anticipated that there might be other means, nor was it that she disdained his level of cultivation, but that she was more ruthless than she had imagined.

It turned out that the news he heard from the jailer was false from the very beginning.

Li Hongling had no intention of letting the remaining ordinary palace servants go, never!

On the contrary, she wanted to leave no one behind.

And it seems that she is going to do more than just kill people, she is going to destroy the palace as well.

However, did this secret passage exist originally, or was it dug out specifically for this matter in the past few days?

This question is very critical.

Chen Kuang asked without hesitation, looked at Huo Hengxuan who was pretending to sleep, and lowered his voice.

"General Huo, is there a secret passage in this prison?"

Even he could discover this secret passage, so it must be easy for Huo Hengxuan.

Huo Hengxuan opened his eyes, and his expression was as calm as expected.

"Daliang was founded 1,600 years ago, and the layout of the imperial city has remained unchanged."

Oh, that's what it was.

But why was a secret passage built in the prison?

After thinking about it...it seems that it can only be related to the Demon-Suppressing Prison.

"General, do you know what this secret passage is used for? Where is the entrance and exit?"

"It's useless. The secret passage isn't deep enough, almost touching the wall. The entrance is right at the entrance of the prison, so it's not difficult to find."

"This secret passage is located here, which poses many hidden dangers. Some officials from the Ministry of Justice have even petitioned to have it repaired."

"Then?"

“And then it was dismissed.”

Huo Hengxuan shook his head: "It is said that the Su family has an ancestral precept that no inch of the imperial city can be changed."

The Su family is naturally the royal family.

This is quite interesting...

Chen Kuang dug deep into the matter:

"Why?"

Huo Hengxuan glanced at him and became impatient again.

"Why so many questions?"

Chen Kuang's expression was serious: "This is a matter of life and death."

Huo Hengxuan was silent for a moment, then said, "There was once an emperor who was about to make changes, but suddenly a Taoist descended from the sky and told him that the structure of the imperial city suppressed the fate of the country. If it were changed, it would undermine the foundation of the country."

He sneered: "What a demon."

Kunimoto...

Chen Kuang chewed on the word.

If you haven't heard the story told by Lady Liang, then these two words are meaningless.

But now, he already knows that the foundation of Daliang is none other than the two great powers who suppress the great monsters and benefit all things!

This secret passage is indeed related to the Demon-Suppressing Prison!

So, could this strange, seemingly useless secret passage be the key to suppressing the monster?

We must find a way to get more clues.

If his plan doesn't work, this might be the key.

If one continues to practice diligently in "Tushita Descent", one can develop spiritual consciousness. Although it is not as good as the ability of the spirit to leave the body, it can ignore all obstacles.

Chen Kuang made up his mind and prepared to enter into meditation again.

"Boom..."

The ground began to shake again, the starlight outside the window seemed to go out for a moment, and the world fell into darkness.

Chen Kuang steadied himself, looked out the window, and squinted his eyes.

Is this... the end of the Saints' War?

Will the ancestor of Liang State win or lose against the "Eastern Emperor" of Great Zhou?

"We lost."

Huo Hengxuan sighed.

Chen Kuang was puzzled: "How did General Huo know that?"

Huo Hengxuan's hesitation from the beginning seemed to indicate that he knew from the beginning that the Liang State Patriarch was bound to lose, but with his realm, it seemed that he could not reach the so-called saint realm.

The experience Huo Hengxuan gave him also included the realm of today's practitioners.

The ninth level is the awakening state, the eighth level is the innate state, and the seventh level is the ascending state. These are the lower three levels.

It is also the limit that mortal warriors can reach. The best masters in the world are only at the peak of the Denglou Realm.

Climbing up the stairs means reaching the twelfth floor of heaven, the threshold between immortals and mortals.

The sixth level is the Sea-Opening Realm, the fifth level is the Moon-Baothing Realm, and the fourth level is the Grandmaster Realm. These are the middle three levels, with various magical powers and immortal methods.

The third grade Xuanxuan realm, the second grade Daoan realm, and the first grade Canliao realm. These are the top three grades, which cannot be understood by common sense. They are omnipotent, immortal, and not among the five elements.

Only by entering the second level of Dao'an realm, crossing the sea of ​​suffering and reaching the other shore can one be called a "saint".

Huo Hengxuan was already at the Grandmaster level before he was deposed.

He is so powerful that he can protect the beams for decades, but with this strength, he is like an ant to the upper third rank.

Logically, it should be impossible to reach this level.

Just like Chen Kuang at this moment, he couldn't even imagine how the two saints fought to such an earth-shaking battle.

But Huo Hengxuan is, after all, a master who is half a step above the third rank.
