Chapter 448 Preparations before entering the Black Abyss
The years passed slowly.
More than fifty years have passed since Shen Ping returned to Jizhou after consultations with Ji Taizu. During this period, except for the first ten years when the Jizhou army occupied six states, the remaining forty years have been spent keeping the troops in place, steadily developing the people's livelihood and economy within the jurisdiction, while rebuilding the Demon Suppression Bureau, suppressing demons and evil spirits, and governing the local area, making the state capital under its jurisdiction appear prosperous.
Although the remaining territory of the Great Xia Dynasty seemed much calmer, it was even more chaotic inside. The noble families in each state and prefecture could see that the Great Xia Dynasty had run out of luck, so they completely ignored the lives of the people in their jurisdiction and amassed huge wealth to cultivate the strength of their own lineage, resulting in an increasing number of monsters, with some prefectures and counties becoming barren land for thousands of miles.
Twenty years of Jing'an.
Imperial capital.
Inside the palace.
Emperor Jing'an said with a bitter face: "Aunt Ruyue, the Great Xia Dynasty is now facing internal and external troubles. If we don't activate the Demon Suppression Bureau to suppress local troubles, I'm afraid my nephew will become the king of a fallen country."
Ji Ruyue, who had reached the third floor of the Star Palace, snorted coldly: "I told you long ago not to covet the throne, but you just wouldn't listen. There is no such thing as a free lunch. Do you think the direct bloodline would be so kind as to pass the position to our side branch? Aren't you trying to use my husband's strength and the foundation of the Jizhou Army to suppress the various places and prolong the fate of the Great Xia Dynasty?"
"Don't beg me, beg Taizu instead."
Emperor Jing'an said helplessly: "I have been there dozens of times, but Taizu would not see me."
Ji Ruyue sneered, "If you abdicate directly, I believe Taizu will re-select a new successor. We, the side branch, do not have the strength to turn the tide and revive the Great Xia Dynasty."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
She had a very good relationship with her nephew, and he was very cute when he was a child. But since he ascended the throne, he has become a completely different person. Not only did he secretly target Jizhou, he also repeatedly stole Jizhou's information from her, especially the blood beads, which really disappointed her.
After a while.
Her fifth uncle came in person
Ji Ruyue didn't give him a good look.
Uncle Wu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not here to persuade you. Including your grandfather, they all know that the Great Xia Dynasty has reached its end and no one can save it. Moreover, our branch can regain its leadership because of your husband. So we all know who we can rely on and who is trustworthy."
Listen to this.
Ji Ruyue's expression finally calmed down. "So what is Fifth Uncle here for?"
His fifth uncle said, "I came here mainly to discuss the issue of heirs with you. You and your husband have been together for quite a while, and it's time to give birth to a bloodline for him. This will help you secure your position, especially after you establish a new dynasty in the future, when offspring will be the key."
Ji Ruyue was speechless.
It turns out that he is planning to have offspring.
"Fifth uncle, forget about the throne. Even if my husband establishes a dynasty, the successor will be chosen from the descendants of Nangong and Sister Nishang."
"Don't mention this matter again."
Uncle Wu sighed and could only shake his head and leave.
Ji Ruyue frowned. Speaking of offspring, she really wanted one, but her husband had been in seclusion for these years and they had very little sexual intercourse.
…
Deep in Bashan Mountain.
Inside the main hall’s quiet room.
The last thunder bloodline in Shen Ping's body finally reached the key to forging the second-level star platform.
Over the past fifty years, by occupying six states, they have successively acquired three blood pools. After absorbing and digesting two blood pools, the last two systems have also made breakthroughs one after another.
boom.
Accompanied by the gathering of a large amount of thunder blood.
The second level of the star platform was successfully built.
Tsk tsk.
And just at the moment when the thunder bloodline reached the second level of the Star Platform.
The rest of the Star Platform bloodlines seemed to be affected, and they all burst out with golden light, followed by a burst of lightning as well. In an instant, seven golden lights condensed and collided together.
boom!!
Extremely violent energy exploded in Shen Ping's body.
The next moment all the star platforms collapsed.
His consciousness and true spirit were both hit hard and became shaky, but Shen Ping's true spirit had undergone several transformations after all, and was comparable to the will of a peak Golden Immortal. When his consciousness was on the verge of collapse, he still maintained a trace of clarity in his mind.
As all the bloodline star energies continued to rotate in the body, the seven bloodline stars of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind and thunder gradually formed a strange pattern with each other, and a large amount of violent energy quickly condensed according to this pattern.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
All the blood energy disappeared, and only a drop of golden blood remained in Shen Ping's body. Inside this blood, there was faintly some symbolic pattern that seemed to be in line with the great Dao of heaven and earth. He even heard the sound of the great Dao in his ears.
Buzz.
Just regained consciousness.
A torrent of information swept over him. If it were any other powerful Star Platform master, this information alone would have directly stunned his consciousness, but he was able to receive it all.
"This, this information is actually the information of the avenue!"
He was extremely excited, and immediately began to digest and absorb the information eagerly.
Even the top secret method of analyzing the essence, such as "Daoyuan Zhence", is not as simple as the current information. It is almost the same as indoctrination. Even those with poor talent and comprehension can understand it.
Time passes slowly.
It took Shen Ping five or six years to break through the second level of the Thunder Star Platform and merge into the Source Blood, but it took him nearly thirty years to absorb and digest the huge amount of confidence brought by the Source Blood.
"Source blood is truly miraculous. Just one drop of source blood has increased my understanding of the great Dao of heaven and earth from 10% to 30%. Moreover, it is the seven elements of the great Dao of heaven and earth: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder... It is simply unimaginable!"
The improvement of the great Dao of Heaven and Earth is extremely difficult.
Even for the Immortal Kings and Immortal Venerables, it would take countless years. For example, among the Immortal Venerables of the human race, the most outstanding one, Immortal Venerable Yao, had only comprehended 60% of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, while it was considered excellent for the Immortal Kings to be able to comprehend 30% to 40%.
Now Shen Ping is fusing the source blood in the world of the giant blue palace, and it has increased to 30% at once, surpassing most immortal kings.
If this kind of progress were to be spread, it would definitely drive the Immortal Kings of all races crazy.
"Opportunity, this is a great opportunity!"
Shen Ping was very excited.
Now, even if he couldn't get the great opportunity of the Black Abyss, it was worth it with this kind of improvement. Before his reincarnation, he had the increased perception of "The True Book of Dao Source" and the Gate of Strange Beasts, plus the time acceleration of the World Pearl, so even the threshold of entry was difficult for him to cross. But now, he has made such progress in just nearly three hundred years.
"That Ji Taizu is only half a percentage point better than me in the three bloodlines of gold, water, and earth, so he is not at a disadvantage. All seven of my bloodlines have reached the level of 30% of the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, so I only need one bloodline to suppress him!"
The true emperor level of the third level of the Star Platform is only 20% of the power of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Only the legendary God Realm can reach more than 30%.
Therefore, after fusing the source blood, Shen Ping has already stepped into the realm of gods. However, although his strength has skyrocketed, he does not think that he is invincible. After all, through conversations with Ji Taizu, he knows that there are many ancient strong men alive in the Black Abyss, and some of these strong men can rival the realm of gods, or even become gods.
Step out of the quiet room.
He called Chen Bin and ordered: "Pass the order down. Starting tomorrow, the Jizhou army will be dispatched to completely overthrow the Great Xia Dynasty."
Chen Bin said happily: "Yes, Master!"
Now the entire Jizhou is waiting for this order, because if they can establish a country, then they will be founding a country and attacking a city, and will be able to follow the new dynasty for a thousand years.
And finished giving the order.
Shen Ping went directly to the Black Dragon Cult's headquarters in the sea area.
brush.
The Black Dragon Demon Emperor appeared, looked at Shen Ping, and said in a bad manner: "Master Shen, you really shouldn't have listened to that old ghost Ji and given him a hundred years of national destiny."
Shen Ping said calmly: "Since Senior Black Dragon knew Ji Taizu's purpose, why didn't you tell me?"
The Black Dragon Demon Emperor snorted, "I asked the Black Dragon Cult to assist Jizhou, which is already a great help. As for the rest, why should I tell you?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Boom! Shen Ping raised his hand and activated the power of heaven and earth.
"Mr. Shen, don't think that I am afraid of you. I am just too lazy to consume myself!"
The Black Dragon Demon Emperor roared angrily, and without thinking, he also urged the power of heaven and earth. However, just as he condensed the power of water, he felt a huge pressure from the power of heaven and earth, and the pressure alone defeated the power of water. His eyes widened, "This, this is impossible, you, you stepped into the realm of God??!"
Its words were full of disbelief and horror.
Except for the ancient times, other strong men, even the peerless strong man who once suppressed the world for tens of thousands of years, have not been able to break through the threshold of the emperor level. Only by entering the Black Abyss can there be such hope. Even now, it is difficult to step into the emperor level. For example, the ancestor of the Great Xia Dynasty relied on the gathering of luck in the world to reach the second level of the Star Platform.
Bang! Watching the monstrous thunder pressing down.
The Black Dragon Demon Emperor came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "Shen, Master Shen, this is a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I have the restrictions of the Black Abyss Oath, so it's hard to tell you."
After hearing this, Shen Ping put away the thunder domain pressure and continued: "So, you, Ji Taizu, and that sea monster strongman, in addition to winning over the new second level of the Star Platform, have other purposes."
"good."
The Black Dragon Demon Emperor Lian said: "It is specifically related to the Black Abyss. Every ten thousand years, not only will there be rare resources like the Heavenly Heart Stone and the Blood Pool, but there may also be an opportunity related to the source of the bloodline that we practice. As for what opportunity it is, I really can't say."
Shen Ping suddenly realized that if they were talking correctly, what they were looking for should be the source blood, or the person with the seven bloodlines.
Fortunately, he did not expose the Seven System, but the Black Dragon Demon Emperor and Ji Taizu might have guessed some of it. But it doesn’t matter now.
After entering the divine realm, the only things he feared were the ancient powerful ones in the Black Abyss. The rest were really nothing he could care about.
"Black Dragon, is this opportunity related to the fate of the Great Xia Dynasty?"
See Shen Ping guessed something.
The Black Dragon Demon Emperor nodded repeatedly.
Next, Shen Ping asked for some information inside the Black Abyss, including the strength of those ancient powerful men, and then returned to Jizhou. As for the Black Dragon Demon Emperor, he did not kill him, as he still had some use for him.
…
After nearly a hundred years of training and improvement, the Jizhou Army has become incredibly powerful. After Chen Bin led the army to the front, it swept across four states in less than two months. The remaining provincial families surrendered one after another, but these families exploited the local people too much, so Nangong Yao did not accept it. Instead, he directly uprooted them and solved the local problem once and for all.
After discovering the blood pool again.
After Shen Ping refined and absorbed it for a while, he immediately realized that the blood pool had little effect on his amplification. It seemed that after gathering the source blood, he had developed a certain resistance to the blood pool's energy.
"Nichang, Yao'er... don't deal with the affairs of the states for now. Put down the things in your hands and let others do it. Concentrate on practicing, absorb the energy of the blood pool, and break through to the Xingtai realm as soon as possible!"
Since the blood pool had no effect, he had already prepared himself to go to the Black Abyss. However, before that, he had to train Lian Nishang, Ji Ruyue and the others to the Star Platform Realm, and their strength must not be too low, so as to ensure their safety.
"Yes, husband."
Although they were both his women, emotionally, Shen Ping still favored Lian Nishang. He gave Lian Nishang extra energy from the refined blood pool, and also prepared three blood beads condensed from killing the water star platform for her.
"Nichang, the blood pool is very important to you. You must do your best to refine it and comprehend the power of heaven and earth!"
The reincarnations of the Immortal King, the Immortal Lord, and the Emperor could step onto the Star Platform as long as they were given enough time, but Lian Nishang was different, she was only at the True Immortal level, and her potential was at the limit of the Star Palace. Even with the Heavenly Heart Stone, she might not be able to break through to the Star Platform.
Can only rely on the blood pool.
Shen Ping was not very confident in his heart, but if he missed this opportunity, it would be difficult for Lian Nishang to comprehend the power of heaven and earth before the Immortal King.
"Brother Shen."
"Nichang will not let you down."
Lian Nishang still likes to call Shen Brother. She can clearly feel the importance in Shen Ping's words, which makes her very happy.
Imperial capital.
Deep in the palace.
The three Xingtai clan masters had gloomy faces, and one of them angrily scolded Emperor Jing'an: "What a waste! Why didn't you receive the news in advance when the Jizhou army was dispatched? You are the nephew of that person."
Emperor Jing'an didn't dare to breathe a single breath.
Even though he is the supreme ruler, not even the direct descendants dare to refute the clan's Xingtai ancestor.
Ji Taizu, who was sitting at the top, glanced at Emperor Jing'an and waved his hand, saying, "Go down!"
Jing Andi had no choice but to leave.
"Grandmaster, you agreed with Shen Ping for a hundred years, but before the time came, he sent out the army. It's obvious that he doesn't want to wait any longer."
Ji Taizu knew this very well, but he had no way to take the initiative to find Shen Ping. The agreement at that time was only a verbal agreement. After so much time, the other party's strength must have improved, otherwise he would not have acted so urgently.
Fortunately, the imperial capital has been prepared over the years.
"Immediately order all the demon-suppressing divisions and local troops stationed there to retreat to the imperial capital and prepare to defend it to the death. With the background of our royal family and the careful training we have cultivated over the years, I believe we will be able to defend the imperial capital. As long as we can hold on to it safely for ten years, it will be considered a success."
When the three Xingtai clan strongmen heard the number of ten years, they couldn't help but feel relieved. Ten years is still a very easy time.
Half a year later.
The Jizhou army completely occupied all the prefectures except the imperial capital, and the only step left to unify the world was to capture the imperial capital.
The subordinates, including Chen Bin, were extremely excited.
Some even requested the country's name in advance.
