Chapter 101 The Eighth Shining Light
On the eve of the beginning of summer, green shade covers the fields, giving way to new light, and the fragrant breeze makes the days longer.
The students of Tianshu Academy set out from Shengjing, a group of twenty people, to Jingzhou Ferry, and boarded the fairy boat to the southwest.
At this time, the news of the invasion of the demon tribe had spread as strange beasts flew into the sky and landed on Changsheng Street.
Along with them came many spiritual herbs unique to the Snow Region, extremely high-quality spiritual stones, and even some rare metals for making weapons, which were gradually transported into Kyushu.
However, there was an endless debate about whether to allow the demon tribe to enter the country.
Because even though the two tribes had fought bloody battles together and joined forces to fight against the ancient descendants, the seven major immortal sects were still very vigilant against the demon tribe.
This seems to confirm the Demon Emperor's motto: Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.
However, what happened next made the scholar emperor, who had lived in the palace all year round, personally sign a document allowing the demon race to enter Kyushu, and the seven major immortal sects also acquiesced to this and did not stop it.
The reason was simple: the barbarians from the Ten Thousand Mountains rushed out and re-invaded Beiyuan, aiming their swords at Hantie Pass.
Since the founding of Daxia, the human race and the barbarians have been constantly fighting each other, and Hantie Pass is the dividing line.
In the thousands of years of human history, the barbarians have approached the Hantie Pass several times, but have never been able to break in.
But this time, it was obviously different.
As the temperature in the Northern Plains began to rise with the approach of summer, the barbarians put almost all their strength into their attack.
Even powerful barbarians joined in the campaign, causing the Zhenbei Army to face a tough battle.
"The demon tribe's territory is in the snowy area to the west of Beiyuan. They are actually neighbors with the barbarians. If it weren't for the Kunling Mountains, they would have already become friends."
"The human race cannot lose Jiuzhou, and the seven great immortal sects are unwilling to lose Beiyuan, the breeding ground for innate spiritual herbs. No matter what the purpose is, the human race cannot conflict with the demon race at this moment."
"Even though...these two tribes have the same wolfish ambitions."
"It was the first battle in summer and our army had a very difficult fight. If the demon tribe attacks us, Hantie Pass will surely fall."
"No more enemy forces will approach the Frost Iron Pass, but a sudden snowstorm will fall in the North Plains, burying the barbarian army, declaring that the human race is the master of the Nine Provinces."
"I don't know why the world has become like this..."
In the majestic palace, the emperor in royal robes stood with his hands behind his back in front of the imperial hall, gazing into the distant sky which was gradually getting darker.
He was only thirty years old, in the prime of his life, and had a handsome appearance.
The only unsightly thing was that even when he was not frowning, there was a deep wrinkle between his brows, as if it was engraved by a sharp blade.
The Supervisor of Immortals' real name was He Jingyuan. He was standing behind him at this time. He heard the emperor's sigh but did not say a word.
Because he knew that His Majesty was talking to him.
Then the emperor sighed softly and withdrew his gaze from the dim sky in the evening. He saw singing girls dancing and the sound of stringed instruments lingering in the air, which sounded joyful and festive.
The young nobleman from the demon clan was sitting in the banquet room. His demon blue eyes were so deep that no emotion could be seen.
"Why is my brother here?"
At this moment, a woman in gorgeous clothes came over and spoke in a sweet voice. Her face was somewhat similar to the emperor's, and she looked gentle and virtuous.
He Jingyuan bowed upon hearing the voice and said, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The princess nodded gently and turned to look at the emperor: "It's windy. My brother just drank a lot of wine. Let's go back."
The emperor shook his head and placed his hands on the stone pillar in front of the palace: "Let's wait and see. Maybe one day, I will become the king of a fallen country."
He Jingyuan frowned and said, "Your Majesty, you are joking. Our Great Xia Empire will surely last for thousands of years."
The emperor chuckled and turned to look at the two of them. "It's strange, I thought the demons would be arrogant when they returned to Jiuzhou, at least to me. After all, everyone knows that the Great Xia Dynasty is just a tool for the seven great immortal sects to rule the people. I didn't expect them to be so polite?"
"Before entering the palace, the demon tribe was hit by a sword on Changsheng Street. I'm afraid that their arrogance has been reduced, and they can't be so arrogant anymore."
The emperor was also a little surprised: "Who drew the sword?"
He Jingyuan looked towards Nishan not far away: "In the outer courtyard of Tianshu Academy, there is a student named Ji You."
The emperor was slightly startled when he heard this, then nodded: "The guy who entered the hospital and sensed the heavenly book..."
"Exactly."
"I heard that he and the number one scholar I selected were from the same hometown and friends, but I don't know why he had a conflict with the demon tribe?"
"It is said that a demon almost stepped on a child when the strange beast landed on the ground. Ji You was on the street at the time and tried to save the child, but he didn't have time to dodge, so he punched the strange beast."
After hearing this, the eldest princess' eyes trembled slightly and she opened her mouth slightly in surprise.
The emperor raised his eyes and said after a long silence: "Bring up my number one scholar and send him to the Ministry of Revenue to be in charge of the matter of the demon race entering the Nine Provinces, and concurrently serve as the director of the Immortal Reception Office."
He Jingyuan thought about it for a long time, and then said, "This is too fast. Besides, the Supervisory Office reported that he was very close to Wei Li's granddaughter."
"It doesn't matter. He is one of the few people I share the same path with..."
After this imperial night banquet, the demons began to appear in Kyushu one after another.
However, when demons, especially those with obvious appearance features, appear on the streets, it is inevitable that some discussion and suspicion will arise.
However, there was no trouble here. Although there were always rumors that some monsters ate people, they turned a deaf ear to them.
The seven major immortal sects currently have no intention of caring about the affairs of the demon race because they also have many conflicts among themselves.
Shanhai Pavilion and the Tianjian Peak of Lingjian Mountain came to Huangyun Mountain at the same time and confronted each other outside the Chen family's protective formation. The three sects were on the verge of a war.
It is precisely because of this situation that people outside the sect often draw their swords against each other in Jiuzhou.
Thus, with Qingzhou as the boundary, undercurrents surged on the western plains.
In addition, the group from Tianshuyuan who sailed from Shengjing south along the Nujiang River also attracted attention.
"Look, of the only two disciples of the Hall Master of the Heavenly Academy, the latter one is Ji You who does not have a noble family background."
"Going to Lingjian Mountain?"
"Yes, Tianshuyuan asked Lingjian Mountain."
"If Ji You's sword is really as rumored, he would be more suitable to be a disciple of Lingjian Mountain. It's a pity that he was born in Fengzhou."
"I heard that a few days ago, the demon clan delegation was stabbed by him when they went to Shengjing?"
The fairy boat sped along the way, and three days later, they arrived at Xiyang County in Liangzhou.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The students of Tianshu Academy got off the ferry and stayed at the Chaoyang Inn. The reason they stayed here was because Danzong was just on the southwest side of Liangzhou.
You Buyu wanted to visit Danshan, and this was the place where he would reorganize before leaving.
However, because Xiyang County is the only way to Qingzhou, there are many immortal cultivators traveling here, and most of them are heading for Wenshan Chen Family.
Along the way, they encountered monsters and saw cultivators fighting each other, and the atmosphere of uneasiness began to grow stronger.
Ji You was in a room at Chaoyang Inn at this time. All the acupoints in his body were open, constantly introducing spiritual energy into his body and igniting spiritual fire.
The mysterious light blue flame spread throughout the body and finally burst out of the body surface, constantly exercising every inch of skin.
Beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
This is the basic method of purifying spiritual essence. Because Ji You's spiritual essence was shattered and spiritual energy was scattered throughout his limbs and bones, he used this method to purify his body.
After a long time, the whistling energy spread out, the light shone in all directions and then quickly converged, Ji You slowly opened his eyes on the bed.
The eighth flash of inspiration ended.
This time, he felt that his energy and blood were much more vigorous.
In addition, he discovered that there was an extra energy in his body, which would constantly collide during each cleansing, and then sink into his limbs and bones.
On that day on the White Jade Platform of Ascension, Sun Bin had taken a pill and condensed a milky protective aura to guard against his sword-wielding opponent.
And now his physical strength should be almost the same as the spiritual light condensed by Sun Bin.
It's so hard, I don't know whose girl is so lucky...
He swung his fist and the Mountain-Shaking Fist he had been practicing moved with his qi. The wind from his fist spread across the room and the sound of a tiger's roar filled the air.
After the body is strengthened, the strength is also greatly improved. These two things complement each other.
Ji You clenched his fists, recalling the battle with the demon guards on Changsheng Street. He savored the energy coming from the gun and thought that of all the races in the world, the human race was indeed the weakest.
If he had not taken micro-photographs three times before that day, he might have really broken his hand bones in that street fight.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Wen Zhengxin came in wearing a brocade skirt and called him down to eat.
"Sister, do you know why the demon race doesn't practice magic?"
"The demon race also practices magic, but it is said to be much more difficult than humans, and only those with outstanding talents can succeed. I heard from the inner courtyard teacher that this is because they themselves are not in harmony with the way of heaven."
Wen Zhengxin walked in front slowly and said, "However, the demon tribe also has its own secret cultivation techniques. Their combat power is not low, and they have some bloodline talents like the barbarians. Now that Daxia allows the demon tribe to enter, if you encounter them on the street, you must not take it lightly."
While they were talking, the two of them came to the first floor, where the disciples of Tianshu Academy had gathered in the front hall.
You Buyu, who had already taken his seat, glanced at Ji You with a gloomy expression.
The Tianshu Academy went to Lingjian Mountain. Although the scene was not as grand as the confrontation between Shanhai Pavilion and Tianjian Peak against the Chen Immortal Clan, it was still a big event and caused a lot of discussion along the way.
Especially since he, the hall master himself, has come out of seclusion, it is natural that he will attract everyone's attention.
But who knew that Ji You was also very popular. When many people saw him, their attention would be diverted to him.
In the final analysis, the incident in which Ji You stabbed the demon guard with three swords on Changsheng Street had already been of extraordinary significance, highlighted by the controversy caused by the entry of the demons into the country.
Before he came, he told He Lingxiu that he would go to Danshan as the palace master's direct disciple to let Yuan Caiwei know his value, but now the name that the outside world is shouting is Ji You's name.
He Lingxiu was also looking at Ji You coming down the stairs at this time, and thought for a moment: "This Ji You's spirit seems to change every day."
"Is there?"
"I didn't notice it when I was on the road the day before yesterday, but yesterday..."
He Lingxiu passed by Ji You yesterday. As a cultivator, she was able to keenly perceive that Ji You's blood was becoming more and more turbulent.
Especially his heartbeat, thump thump, like a heavy hammer falling to the ground, and it seemed like it was vibrating in his ears when he thought about it.
