Chapter 222 Son of Heaven
As he gradually walked into Daxing Palace, Yun Shuai became more and more suspicious.
From Guangyang Gate, Zhaoyang Gate, Daxing Gate to Daxing Palace, many soldiers and warriors made way for a wide path so that the two could pass unhindered.
Yun Shuai secretly looked at these people and found that their expressions were indescribable.
The awe that everyone showed towards the Heavenly Master was naturally normal to Yun Shuai.
But, they seemed to have known that the Heavenly Master had arrived and made way in advance.
People who are concentrating on watching the excitement are often not paying attention to what is happening behind them, finding it difficult to react in time, and are unorganized. It is impossible for them to be so orderly in the chaos.
Even more strange is...
At this moment, these people's feet were motionless. If their heads had not moved with their sight, Yun Shuai would have suspected that they were wood carvings or clay sculptures.
The Heavenly Master possesses ultimate personal power, but never kills indiscriminately.
These people's behavior is really too much.
Tens of thousands of people from the martial arts world gathered together, and there was no noise at all. Yun Shuai felt something was wrong.
He couldn't find the answer until he passed through the Ganlu Palace.
The broken Yanjia Palace appeared before our eyes.
And the 'pilgrim'-like gazes of the top martial arts grandmasters.
Of course, these eyes were not directed at him.
Hiss, what on earth is going on? Yun Shuai became even more suspicious. He took a deep breath and couldn't help but look up to steal a glance at the figure in white beside him.
Soon, just one word from Ning Sanren made his body tremble violently!
"Tianshi, is that the Broken Diamond?"
Ning Daoqi came forward. Given his state of mind from practicing the Nanhua Sutra, he seemed a little unsmooth when he said this, which showed how uneasy he was inside.
The same is true for Fu Cailin, Zhou Laotan and others.
For those who aspire to reach the pinnacle of martial arts.
Witnessing such miracles as the breaking of diamond and the soul leaving the body with one's own eyes is even more shocking than controlling the power of nature to cause thunder.
Open the Qi orifices and cultivate the Qi spirit.
This is the first step for a warrior to reach the ultimate "innate spirit". Any warrior with some fame is very familiar with this.
But combining the primordial spirit with the primordial energy is already the limit for most people.
The substantial spirit and even the innate spirit are completely out of reach.
Not to mention the "Soul-Breaking Diamond"!
Ning Daoqi's words made the surroundings fall into silence, especially the old Buddhist monks, who all pricked up their drooping ears, not daring to miss Zhou Yi's words.
The precious raft that can save the world is right before your eyes.
"You could say that."
Zhou Yi nodded slightly. He was calm. Apart from feeling a little curious, he didn't think it was that great.
Chuan Ying was able to leave his body after visiting the Temple of War God, let alone him.
And he knows how to change the sky and strike the earth.
This method is different from the Eight Masters’ method of sensing across thousands of miles. Instead, after the soul reaches a very high level, it can guide it out and travel around the world.
It is indeed very similar to Guangcheng's Broken Vajra.
"So," Ning Sanren paused, "the Heavenly Master can already shatter the void?"
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Of course."
Just then
Suddenly, a strange sound came from under the ruins: "Broken Shattered Void?"
"The soul leaves the body, is this the power to shatter the void?"
The voice of the latter sentence is stronger and clearer than that of the former.
Following a loud "bang", a black-clothed figure covered in blood broke out of a huge deep pit.
Shi Zhixuan and others turned to look at Yang Xuyan.
Just now, after he was hit by the soul, he lost his breath instantly. Unexpectedly, he came back to life.
A strange spiritual wave swept through Yang Xuyan's body.
When Yun Shuai from Persia saw this spiritual secret technique, he immediately thought of a demon monk who had come out from India. It was a variant of the Sun-Changing Technique, a spiritual secret technique that hypnotized oneself and could continuously heal various injuries.
"You know quite a lot."
Zhou Yi's evaluation was quite fair, but Yang Xuyan felt it was a mockery of him: "Humph, although you are powerful, you still can't kill me."
"I am also a celestial being, I can seek outside help, and I am not afraid of your consumption."
He longed to see a little panic in Zhou Yi's eyes.
But the scary thing is.
Zhou Yi's eyes seemed to see through him, and his initial surprise turned into a hint of disappointment that drove him crazy.
"Unfortunately, you haven't yet achieved the unity of ultimate yin and yang, achieving the state of Primordial Chaos. You still have a long way to go before becoming a Demon Immortal. I'm afraid you're far from being able to compete with me."
"What?!"
Yang Xuyan was both nervous and unwilling to believe it.
At this moment, Zhou Yi raised his hand, and a seemingly insignificant wave formed in front of him. Suddenly, the space shook like a wave, and as soon as people's five senses came into contact with it, they felt the depth and vastness of this power.
The fluctuation seemed slow, but it reached Yang Xuyan in just a moment!
This time it was not a collision of souls, but of true essence.
“Ah~~!!”
Yang Xuyan roared and used the Black Hand Magic Skill to the extreme.
He absorbed the three treasures of the same origin from many masters, and his skills became extremely terrifying.
At this time, he wanted to use his extraordinary cultivation to dissipate Zhou Yi's power.
However, this power is completely different from the power of the previous grand masters. It is not only the combination of the ultimate yin and yang of Hunyuan Wuji, but also the great trinity of the three treasures of primordial spirit, primordial essence and primordial energy returning to one!
This completely surpasses the Black Hand's magic skill of "All things return to emptiness".
The Wisdom Sutra is known as the root of all things.
The root of the Wisdom Sutra itself must be found in this power.
Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.
Faced with the ultimate martial arts skill of "All Things Return to One", the black air and snow that formed a domain around Yang Xuyan melted away, and the black hand magic broke apart, bringing all his conspiracy and confidence to the bottom.
“Boom~!”
Like a thunderbolt, the ears of tens of thousands of spectators around were buzzing, and their eyes were reflected with pieces of shattered endless void!
Under Zhou Yi's power, Yang Xuyan was caught in the shattered void, blood burst out of his chest, and he lost his breath in an instant.
Just like before, he flew backwards and crashed into the ruins.
But I didn't expect
This strange guy recovered again despite such serious injuries.
Even his loss of breath just now seemed like a pretense.
Because he had been killed by Zhou Yi once before, it took him quite some time to recover.
This time the recovery was almost instantaneous.
Faced with a huge crisis where there was no chance of survival, Yang Xuyan finally remembered the professional qualities that an assassin should have.
After pretending to be dead, he immediately ran away.
He knew that he had no chance of escaping from the sight of his mortal enemy, and no matter how big the world was, there was no place for him to stay.
However.
It’s different outside the void!
“Hahaha~!!”
Yang Xuyan's crazy laughter made blood splatter in his chest. He looked at Zhou Yi fiercely:
"Master, thank you for breaking through the void and helping me! Yang will settle this great grudge with you outside the void!"
The expressions of the people around him all changed.
They looked at the void that was shattered by Zhou Yi, and then looked at Yang Xuyan who turned into a black light and rushed into the void.
Tianren Wuji cannot be broken by one person alone.
However, the threshold of breaking the void has been reached.
In other words, he will enter a completely new and vast world.
Shadow Assassin, about to shatter the void!!
In an instant, the world seemed to quiet down again. When most of Yang Xuyan's figure entered the dark void, people were not only shocked, but also felt lingering envy.
And at this moment, Zhou Yi felt something.
Marshal Yun finally discovered the reason for the abnormality in Daxing Palace.
The shadow assassin entered the broken void, and his laughter came from another world, extremely magical.
Suddenly, time and space stopped again!
A golden light chased the black demon shadow into the void. Everyone was horrified and many people screamed.
Heavenly Master, Heavenly Master broke through the void and left!
Oh no, isn't the world going to be in chaos again?!
“Boom~!”
Almost at the moment their thoughts arose, a loud explosion sounded in the void.
With a click.
Another side of the void is shattered!
Like a visitor from outer space, a brilliant golden swan flew out from another world.
“Bang~!”
There was also a black figure that fell heavily from the sky.
When they saw the figure clearly, including many martial arts masters, everyone was stunned, regardless of their state of mind.
The Heavenly Master's soul left his body, shattered the void, killed the shadow assassin, and then shattered the void in reverse, traveling through the world, and his soul captured people and returned!
Beside the Yanjia Palace, in the dead silence, the sound of light footsteps was heard.
The closer the footsteps got, the dimmer the light in Yang Xuyan's eyes became.
He struggled to practice his skills to repair himself.
However, all the power in his body was blocked and he couldn't emit any true energy.
The broken void is gradually closing.
The door to a whole new world is closed.
And Zhou Yi also walked to his side.
Yang Xuyan felt a surge of resentment: "You!"
He had already used up all his strength when he uttered this word in a harsh voice.
"Aren't you going to settle accounts with me? If you haven't settled them yet, why are you leaving? Or do you think you can escape your debts by escaping into the void?"
Yang Xuyan could no longer make a sound.
Hearing these cold words, he turned and looked at Zhou Yi.
Under Zhou Yi's deep gaze, the shadow assassin finally sighed and closed his eyes like the closed void.
It was still quiet all around.
The shadow assassin who was once famous throughout the world ultimately failed.
His methods and talents made him a genius of his generation, but unfortunately he was born in the wrong era and met an opponent he could not contend with.
The shadow assassin lives in the shadow of the Heavenly Master.
However, after this incident, there will definitely be legends about him in the world.
First, the void was broken, then he was killed by the Heavenly Master outside the void, and then brought back to this world.
The Shadow Assassin has experienced everything that martial artists can imagine, and he has also experienced things that are unimaginable.
It is no exaggeration to call it a 'legend'.
When everyone's heart was shaken, they suddenly realized: the Heavenly Master can return from outside the void!
This is of great significance and will lead the Tang Dynasty in a completely different direction.
Even the laws of history may change.
The general trend of the world is that after a long period of division, there will be unification, and after a long period of unification, there will be division.
If the Heavenly Master's light continues to cover Zhou and Tang, no one will dare to cause chaos.
A few people see things clearly, like a mirror. This signifies stability. However, whether this is good or bad depends entirely on the Heavenly Master's thoughts and whether he can remember his original intention and maintain his true heart.
It’s easy for people to forget their roots, so you can imagine how huge the test is.
In Daxing Palace, most people's minds were blank at this moment and they couldn't think too much.
"Master, what is that world like?"
The Queen is full of curiosity.
Zhou Yi said frankly: "I didn't observe it closely, but I felt it was full of vitality and infinitely vast."
After hearing this, Zhou Laotan and others all showed longing expressions.
They stared at the closed void for a long time without saying a word.
The chaos in Daxing Palace has settled, and people are constantly retreating.
Shan Xiongxin led people to clean up the aftermath, and under Zhou Yi's arrangement, buried Yang Xuyan's body together with Dong Shuni.
After chatting briefly with Zhou Yi, Li Shimin took away the bodies of Li Yuan and others.
Soon, as the news of the Battle of Weishui and the Daxing Palace spread, people's mood quietly changed.
The next day.
Two things happened in Chang'an City.
The first was that King Dou Jiande of Xia and Zhai Rang of Hebei took off their armor and came to Chang'an together to pay homage to the new emperor.
The second is that all the core members of the Xiang family who were hiding were arrested.
Including Xiang Yushan's father Xiang Gui, his uncle, cousins and others, along with Xiang Wengan, who used the alias Yang Wengan, were taken to the city gate and beheaded.
This capture also saved dozens of poor women who had been abducted from all over the place.
The crimes of the Baling Gang have only been eradicated at this moment.
Zhou Yi stayed in Chang'an for more than twenty days.
He wanted to rest, but he noticed the anxious thoughts of his men.
Chen Laomou and Xu Xingzhi have hinted at this many times.
On the 26th day, Yang Xuyan died in Daxing Palace.
South of Chang'an, on a road back to Qinling Mountains, Shi Feixuan said goodbye to her master and then boarded a large ship with a dragon flag.
Fan Qinghui saw from afar that Shi Feixuan quickly reunited with the man after getting on the boat.
As they spoke, the saint showed a smile that Fan Qinghui had never seen before.
Soon, the big ship went down the river and got farther and farther away.
Until the tall Tang Dynasty Zhou flag disappeared from sight.
She sighed softly.
At this moment, footsteps approached from behind.
Even with Fan Qinghui's skill, he was unable to detect the man approaching. If he had not deliberately revealed the sound of his footsteps, he would have had to be about ten feet closer to hear the unusual noise.
Looking back, I saw a handsome middle-aged man in a green robe.
This was the first time she had seen Song Que since the Temple of War God appeared.
Tian Dao was absent from the Battle of Weishui and the Battle of Daxing Palace as he had been in seclusion.
After looking him up and down, Fan Qinghui smiled sincerely and said, "Congratulations, Brother Song. You have made another step forward this time and are expected to reach the pinnacle of martial arts."
Song Que laughed and said, "It's still quite a distance away. Even though the chance is slim, I can give it a try."
In today's world, among all the great masters of martial arts.
Tian Dao is not only the strongest in attack, but also the youngest.
The trip to Chang'an had practically changed the trajectory of his life. Now he had a clear view of the road ahead and plenty of time. This was a truly enviable opportunity.
For example, people like Ning Daoqi cannot compare to Song Que in terms of current conditions.
"Having the opportunity to try puts me ahead of countless others."
Song Que looked towards the direction where the ship was sailing away. "I just happened to be in a good year with someone leading the way."
He didn't say anything more, and suddenly asked with a smile:
"Did Qing Hui let the Saint Master go from the bottom of her heart?"
Fan Qinghui didn't discuss the stance of the Wulin Holy Land, nor did he discuss his own thoughts. He simply said, "I've asked Feixuan about this. She has someone in her heart that she can't let go of, and she's willing to pursue her true heart. As her master, there's nothing I can do except wish her the best."
"That's right," Song Que nodded repeatedly, "Qinghui is already better than the previous generation of Cihang Zhai Master."
Fan Qinghui groaned, looked at Song Que and said:
"Perhaps all my years of studying the Sword Manual have been wrong."
Song Que understood what the sword canon was about.
He looked a little strange, but after looking at Fan Qinghui's face, he quickly calmed down. "If you're wrong, correct it. To be honest, I made some pretty outrageous mistakes when I was a frog in a well in Shancheng."
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Fan Qinghui to respond.
Song Que bowed slightly and said, "I am going to travel south now. See you someday."
"Take care."
After Fan Qinghui finished speaking, Tiandao turned around without hesitation.
At this moment, the cold and ruthless Heavenly Sword and its tall and straight figure reminded Fan Qinghui of the days in the sunset.
Recalling the past is like trying to salvage the destined shattered reflection of the moon in the deep pool.
In Fan Qinghui's eyes, Song Que seemed truly flawless.
…
…
In midsummer in Luoyang, the sky is blue and the sun is scorching.
Heat waves rolled in the air, and the cicadas chirped hoarsely and densely, as if singing for the changes in the world situation.
On this day, Dongdu was very different from usual.
The Tianjie Street leading to the imperial city has been splashed with clean water.
The newly hung "Great Tang" plaque on the Zetian Gate sparkled in the sunlight. On both sides of the gate stood newly decorated que towers, with soldiers like forests and flags like clouds.
On both sides of the imperial road, every five steps there was a guard holding a spear.
They were dressed in Ming Guang armor, each of them had a pine-like posture and sharp eyes.
The solemnity of the imperial city contrasts sharply with the bustle inside the city.
The imperial court has already issued an edict, and today we celebrate with the people.
The neighborhood chief organized the setting up of drinks and food at the entrance of each neighborhood.
Many people changed into their best clothes, their faces filled with joy, and children were running and playing in the streets.
Business in taverns and teahouses was particularly good. People gathered together, whispering to each other, talking about the new emperor, discussing "opening up sources of income", and their hope for a peaceful world in the future.
There are also silent people among the lively crowd.
Perhaps they are family members who lost loved ones in the chaos, or perhaps they are old people who still have a fondness for the previous dynasty.
They looked far away in the direction of the imperial city, their eyes filled with hope, confusion and a hint of barely perceptible sadness.
The sun of the new dynasty has risen, but it will still take time to heal the pain of the past.
Ziwei Palace stands under the scorching sunlight, and the glazed tiles reflect the dazzling white light, like a burning golden ocean.
The palace is majestic, and the carved beams and painted buildings have been renovated and look brand new.
Armored soldiers holding spears stood solemnly on both sides of the imperial city, and a large number of court officials were waiting outside, looking at the towering Ganyang Palace not far away.
finally
The auspicious time has arrived.
The sound of bells and chimes broke through the layers of heat waves and came out from the Ganyang Palace solemnly and slowly.
All officials followed the new order, walked along the imperial road, and entered with their heads bowed.
It was hot outside, but once you entered the hall, you could feel a cool breeze instead of the ice mirrors in the four corners.
All the civil and military officials knew that the new emperor was different, so they did not find it strange.
There was silence all around. Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, Xu Xingzhi, Chen Lamou, Li Jing, You Hongda and others became excited.
At a certain moment, the chirping of cicadas outside suddenly stopped.
Everyone's eyes were cast on the supreme throne.
There was also a figure who slowly walked to the front of the throne.
Zhou Yi glanced sideways at the court officials who were lined up outside the Ganyang Palace. It was his first time being an emperor, so he inevitably felt a little strange. He did not immediately sit on the throne that symbolized the supremacy of the world, but just stood in front of it.
At this moment, his familiar white clothes were replaced by a dark black robe, embroidered with the sun, moon, stars, mountains and dragons, and the twelve patterns were complicated and heavy.
The tassels of the crown hung down, covering part of her face, leaving only her jaw and a pair of bottomless eyes exposed.
His eyes swept calmly over the civil and military officials sitting under the throne.
In such a solemn atmosphere, no one, whether former friends or familiar subordinates, dared to look up and look at him.
Then, the ceremonial officer's high-pitched and long voice echoed in the hall, and every word seemed to hit people's hearts.
The eulogy was compiled by Xu Xing and is extremely gorgeous. It not only traces the destiny of heaven, but also praises the achievements of unifying the nine provinces and prays for peace.
Then, there was a thunderous roar of worship.
"Long live!"
The sound waves shook Ziwei Palace and almost blew off the dome of the hall.
Amidst the fanatical slogans, Zhou Yi slowly turned around according to etiquette and finally sat down.
His figure blended into the huge throne carved with dragon patterns, and the black of his robes blended into the dark color of the throne.
Just as he sat down, a strong ray of sunlight passed through the gap in the palace door and shone directly in front of the throne. The light was dazzling, like a golden road that reached his feet.
Sitting on the throne, Zhou Yi felt a little uncomfortable, but he remained polite. Recalling Xiao Feng's instructions, he raised his hand slightly.
In an instant, everything was silent.
His voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears with unparalleled clarity: "I, following the will of Heaven and the wishes of the people, establish the foundation of the Tang Dynasty and open up the new era."
He added:
"The former Sui Dynasty was immoral, causing unrest throughout the land and the people's suffering. From this day forward, I and the other ministers shall work diligently to bring peace and prosperity to the land."
After the words were spoken, there was a brief silence, followed by even more overwhelming cheers of "Long live the Buddha!"
The new king ascended the throne, the ceremony was completed, and Zhou and Tang were established.
