Zong Shouxin had a thought and the chaotic illusions in his mind became serious.
At this moment, the scenes in front of his eyes were the battle with Osamu Hara and Jueyu in the underground lake.
The scenes at that time were pretty much completely displayed but there were some slight changes. Zong Shou continued to try to optimize his fighting style in the illusionary realm. Either changing sword techniques or making his sword path more concise and efficient or grasping the timing and angle of the sword.
Naturally, the six of them weren't inflexible. Along with the deductions continuing, their attacks also started to change.
The martial arts specialties of the six of them were deduced by Zong Shou himself.
30 minutes later, the scenes in front of him changed once more. This time there was only Zong Shou's own image. However, the 9 chakra meridians in his body could be clearly seen.
Strands of Qi flowed within, constantly changing paths.
This was the world shocking spiritual art he deduced after the Spirit Realm, trying to make his Yin and Yang true qi more compatible with the black and white dharma in his soul ocean.
However, the amount of mental energy he consumed was also huge. In just 2 hours, Zong Shou had no choice but to stop.
This genuine 'Illusionary Heart Mirror' was indeed much, much more powerful than the imitation he had snatched from Xue Moyan!
The help it provided to him was immeasurable.
Unfortunately, to use this item, although he didn't need to consume much soul power, it would consume lifespan.
Especially the ability to draw out heart demons as well as the ability to suppress people of the same race, the consumption was huge.
It wasn't as exaggerated as the Book of Eon and the Stargazing Platform. However, it was something that he who didn't have much lifespan couldn't take.
… However, he could still use this normal illusionary technique. Like before, when he deduced martial arts, he didn't need to worry about anything. What he consumed was just his mental energy.
Sighing, Zong Shou casually tossed the illusionary heart mirror into his heaven and earth bag.
This item was not bad but temporarily, it was best if he sealed it. Usually, it could only be used to deduce martial arts. Together with the Book of Eon, it could complement each other.
It wasn't that he couldn't use it, but at least before he broke through to the Spirit Realm and didn't have to worry about his lifespan, it was better to use it sparingly.
He sat down cross-legged to recover his spirit. Four hours later, his divine Qi would be perfected. Zong Shou took out the Avici Throne.
He closed his eyes and used his Spiritual Sense to explore the restrictions within the Avici Throne bit by bit. He used his mind to communicate with the artifact's spirit.
It was a pity that although this item was close to the grade of a God Artifact, it was too weak. However, because he had stayed underground for too long, his consciousness was still in a muddled state.
The reason why it chose him to be its master was most likely because of the way he fought against six people without being defeated. It was just a little similar to the two previous masters of this item.
However, it was strange. Wasn't this item made from the essence blood and Yuan Souls of the six nations' royal families?
Staying in such a place filled with resentment, shouldn't this thing be even more resentful?
However, why was it that when he used his Spiritual Sense to investigate, he couldn't find any signs of resentment?
However, he already knew the use of this item.
… As expected, it was a country protecting treasure! Sorting out the energy veins was one of them. With this item, one could sort out the various spiritual veins within a hundred thousand miles. Where it suppressed, it could cause the nearby dragon veins to gather over.
It could prevent the ruler from being tainted by king energy. The so-called king energy was gathered from the hearts of the people of a country and contained many impurities. The reason why the rulers of the Cloud World couldn't have long lives was because of the impurities in the hearts of the people. Although some people were talented, they found it hard to improve in their cultivation.
This Avici Throne had the ability to suppress and block out these impurities.
However, Zong Shou didn't have much hope for this item. If the Avici Throne could really suppress it, then the first emperor wouldn't have died so early.
However, with this item, the Nine Layer Pagoda in his Soul Ocean could be released.
This item had been suppressing the king energy gathered within the One Origin Soul Sword. Although Zong Shou was curious, he didn't dare to touch it. At this moment, he could take a close look at what kind of treasure Wei Xu had given him.
The third function was to expand the 'territory' of the power of a nation.
Simply put, in the past, as the Gantian Mountain Ruler, he could only gather the strength of a country within his own territory and have the combat strength of a Spirit Realm expert.
However, with this item, even if he was ten thousand miles away from the country, he could still borrow the strength of the country.
… Naturally, the further he was, the weaker the effect would be. No matter where he was, he could use it 100% of the time. Then, this item wasn't a Peak Celestial Artifact but a God Treasure.
In the world, there were Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Yellow spiritual materials, which corresponded to the four grades of artifacts.
Actually, many of the materials used in this Avici Throne were Heaven Grade, which had disappeared after the Cloud Desolate Era. However, this country protecting treasure was a little different.
It often needed ten times the materials of a Celestial Artifact of the same grade to craft it.
The fourth use was to lock down yin soldiers. This item could lock down the souls of the people he killed, turning them into hidden yin soldiers to be used within a thousand miles. If his cultivation was high enough, gathering ten million yin soldiers wouldn't be a problem.
Naturally, if it was elite soldiers with high combat strength, the number would decrease.
Zong Shou's eyes instantly squinted. As expected from a blood sacrifice, it was really evil.
… If this item was used to suppress Gantian Mountain, as long as there were a hundred thousand Grade Four yin soldiers, the city would be as safe as Mount Tai. Its defenses would be even stronger than the main mountains of some shrines and sects.
However, to lock down the souls of people who died in battle was against the laws of heaven and earth, so he wouldn't do it.
Instinctively, Zong Shou thought back to those yin flood dragons in the Evil Spirit Moat.
In the past, when he commanded the Blood Cloud Cavalry, he had killed many of them. At this moment, he started to regret it.
When he was free, it would be best if he went over to capture a few. If the number was too small, he might have to head to the Yin Dragon Canyon to see if he could gain anything.
He thought back to that Xiangchu overlord who killed close to a million Qin soldiers. Was it because of this Avici Throne?
Then, he shook his head. That was because Xiangchu overlord wiped out the Qin Country. That was before the Avici Throne.
If that was the case, there wouldn't be this Evil Spirit Moat near Gantian Mountain City.
Keeping away these random thoughts, Zong Shou thought about it. His body flashed as he entered the Chongzheng Hall.
He casually took down the Dragon Carved Red Chair and placed the Avici Throne on it.
This treasure wasn't suitable to be brought around. It was best if he left it in Gantian Mountain to suppress the country.
The Chongzheng Hall was where Gantian Mountain discussed matters and where the king energy of a country was the thickest.
Zong Shou's throne was even more so.
The moment the Avici Throne was placed properly, he felt the ground shake slightly. The spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth in the surroundings suddenly expanded and contracted, making them restless.
A full ten minutes later, it calmed down. Looking around carefully, he didn't feel any changes.
He could only roughly sense that the dragon veins that Mingdu, Zong Han, and the others gathered under Gantian Mountain had some weird changes.
The dragon head raised slightly, like it was getting closer to the Chongzheng Hall.
Zong Shoxin was delighted. With this thing here, he only needed to get a hundred yin flood dragons to suppress here. When he went out in the future, he didn't need to worry that something would happen to Gantian Mountain City.
An Avici Throne along with the Blood Cloud Cavalry. Even if the Taishang attacked the country, they would be able to hold on. He also didn't need to worry about those shrines and sects.
Laughing, Zong Shou was about to leave. However, in the next instance, he was distracted.
He thought to himself that this Avici Throne looked really comfortable and majestic. Why didn't he try to sit on it?
He didn't think much as Zong Shou had already sat down on the throne.
Then, he came to his senses, a bright glow exploding in his eyes.
What an evil thing, it actually dared to confuse his mind?
He instinctively wanted to make things difficult for the artifact spirit. However, he instantly felt that it wasn't right. What affected his thoughts wasn't the artifact spirit but the deeper parts of this top celestial artifact!
With his current cultivation, he couldn't reach the deeper parts of the spiritual restrictions!
With a thought, the illusionary heart mirror flew out from his heaven and earth bag, fixing behind his head and giving out waves of light.
This mirror not only could illusionary one's mind, but it could also defend against illusionary techniques. He wanted to take a look. What kind of mysteries were there within this Avici Throne?
But in the next moment, an incomparably strong resentment soul thought rushed into his mind!
Then, the scenes in front of him changed!
It was still an illusionary realm. Zong Shou could have used the power of the illusionary heart mirror to shatter it! However, he didn't stop it, allowing his thoughts to be brought in by the vengeful energy.
This was a world filled with blood light! Heaven and Earth were all dark red. The beam of light from the sun above also carried a hint of blood.
Zong Shou stood within and looked around. Then, his eyes squinted. Opposite them, there was a huge cavalry that was quietly standing there.
Its aura was really calm, but it had a strong aura that made one's heart stop.
At the very front stood a person. He rode a close to 20 feet tall fire stepping dragon beast, his body was covered in a layer of blood-colored armor that was filled with iron spikes. In his hand, he held a 3 feet long hammer. His entire body was burning with dark blue flames.
A pair of eyes, hidden behind the helmet, were staring coldly at him like a wolf!
Xiang King?
This was the name that flashed across Zong Shou's mind right away. If it wasn't for this person, he definitely wouldn't have such a domineering aura.
Was it the vengeful spirit that was locked up in the Avici Throne after the Xiang King died?
He looked around, only to see that he was standing on a broken city wall.
As it turned out, he did have a few soldiers under his command. Their numbers far exceeded that of the hundreds of thousands of elite troops under the Xiang King.
A portion of them defended the city while a portion was spread out on both sides of the city wall to protect the wings.
At first, Zong Shou was slightly confused. However, after a few breaths, when he looked into the distance at the flowing river, he had an idea.
… This was the Battle of Peng City? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
