"What? The Black Wolf King and Bi Shihua have defected to the Champion Marquis? Is this news true or just a rumor? "
Seeing Mu The Younger walk in with the Sword of Impermanence in his hand and speak of this earth-shattering news, Hong Yi waved his hand and received a stack of information from Mu The Younger.
The information was written on pure white sheepskin paper. The handwriting was clear, and the strength of the handwriting could be seen on the back of the paper. It showed that the person who wrote it had a profound cultivation, and was at least a martial arts grandmaster.
"Looks like it's true! This was a copy of the Ministry of War's Official Bulletin. Bi Shihua was a man of great ferocity and prestige. He was the leader of the Wolf King that dominated the grasslands. Even when Yang An was around, he would not submit to him. Who was this person now? After seizing the Champion Marquis's abode, Bi Shihua actually defected? Looking at the Ministry of War's official document, it seemed that he did not waste a single soldier. There was not even a confrontation, and he completely surrendered. Who is it? Is he more powerful than Yang An? "
Hong Yi read through the information in his hand, and the more he read, the more shocked he became.
"Brother Yi, below is a letter personally written by the Champion Marquis to the imperial court, expressing his determination to fight against Yun Meng and wipe out the barbarians. The writing is majestic, shocking, and hot-blooded. It's a change from his previous arrogance, domineering, and domineering attitude. His words are sincere, and I even suspect that the Champion Marquis has changed into a different person … "
Mu The Younger said again. His eyebrows shone with the light of wisdom, and his sparkling pupils gave people a feeling that he was constantly thinking with wisdom.
Ever since he took out Grand Tutor Yuwen's will, Mu The Younger's Taoist techniques and martial arts improved at a tremendous pace.
"'Master's Letter'? Let me take a look. "
Hong Yi took out a copy of the article at the bottom of the intelligence report. As expected, it was a request to go to war, a declaration of determination to the court, and a declaration of loyalty to the Emperor.
At the start of this article, the emperor expressed his loyalty. His words were earnest and his tone was sincere. After that, the tone changed, describing the harm the nomads had done to the Middle-Earth Heavenly Provinces over the past thousands of years, stating all sorts of abuses. This caused one to feel the heaviness of the historical songs and the suffering of the people.
Soon after, his tone changed again, and he wrote that he was willing to lead the army to exterminate the invaders. He was in high spirits, like a vast and mighty spring breeze. His words were impassioned, and everyone who read it felt their blood boiling. They wished they could draw their swords and go out together to kill the barbarians.
The last paragraph ended with a sincere plea of loyalty. At the same time, he expressed his determination to break off all means of retreat and not return until he broke through Yunmeng. It was written like a passionate and sad song. It was like an ancient thorn that made people feel the wind was bleak and the red water was cold when they read it. A sense of righteousness welled up in his heart.
"Good article … Just a copy of the article already gives me a feeling of fascination. If this is the original work, I wonder what level it would be at?" Hong Yi frowned as he looked at the 'Leaving Apprenticeship' article. At this moment, he could conclude that the Champion Marquis was definitely not an arrogant and despotic person, a demon among demons who took in all the beautiful women in the world as his harem. Instead, he was an unfathomable existence.
"Since ancient times, generals have to submit their reports to the imperial court when they leave their apprenticeship. However, this' Leaving Apprenticeship 'article is probably the first. I really want to see what kind of disposition the reborn Champion Marquis has. "
After Hong Yi put down the intelligence report, his eyes flickered as he spoke.
…
"Oh right, Mu The Younger, have you broken through to the ghost immortal realm?" After asking about the Champion Marquis, Hong Yi asked about Mu The Younger's cultivation.
"I've been close to the boundary of life and death many times, but I just can't open that door. I can't pierce through that thin layer of window paper." Mu The Younger shook his head. The Impermanence Sword in his hand vibrated vigorously, as if it had been truly refined.
"The door of the barrier of life and death …" Hong Yi nodded and said with a sigh, "It's not that easy to pierce through. Everything depends on your own comprehension. In fact, with your current Taoist power, even if you face a thunder tribulation master, you might be able to escape unscathed. However, the ghost immortal realm is the foundation of immortality. Recently, I've collected a magic treasure and comprehended some of the true essence of Taoist techniques. I'll take this opportunity to impart it to you. Let's see if you can break through to the ghost immortal realm. "
As he spoke, Hong Yi raised his hand. A dazzling five-colored brilliance flew out of his hand and turned into a divine banner.
It was the 'Grand Society's Five-colored Divine Banner' that Hong Yi had collected from Li Feiyu.
As soon as the divine banner was taken out, the altar made of five-colored soil emitted a heavy and solid artistic conception that filled the entire bastion hall.
"Sheji, sheji … The land is the society, and the grain is the sheji. The core of the Grand Society's Five-colored Divine Banner is the altar made of five-colored soil. This altar is called the Ancestral Farmer Altar. In ancient times, even the Sage Emperor had to offer sacrifices to the Ancestral Farmer Altar in order to nurture all living beings. This is the dao of the divine banner. "
After Hong Yi took out the 'Grand Society's Five-colored Divine Banner', he didn't immediately give it to Mu The Younger for sacrificial refining. Instead, he narrated the principles, origin, and profound meaning of this ancient immortal artifact, as well as the sentiment of the Ancestral Farmer Altar.
As he spoke slowly, a sense of vicissitudes that transcended the long river of history emerged from his words.
Behind Hong Yi, a Great Millet Divine Saber formed by Taoist techniques appeared. It was covered with five grains that resonated with the divine banner.
The heaviness of the country and the heavy atmosphere filled time and space.
Waves of profound truth washed over Mu The Younger's mind.
Mu The Younger also carefully comprehended this profound truth. All of his thoughts flew out, baptizing, circulating, refining, and cultivating.
Boom!
There were more than 900 thoughts in Mu The Younger's mind! There were many more than ordinary ghostly immortals, especially the 36 thoughts in the center. Each one was the size of a human head, sparkling and translucent. They were Grand Tutor Yuwen's pinnacle five-tribulation Divine Will.
In this fierce operation, there was a slight sound. Young Mu's more than 900 thoughts all made a trembling sound. Then, they shook violently, and circles of faint brilliance flowed out from them.
"The door to life and death is finally open to me." Mu The Younger's thoughts let out a deep breath. Then, like a rainbow piercing through the sun, they entered the Pioneer Farmers Altar on top of the Grand Society's Five Colored God Banner.
The banner immediately turned into a five-colored cloud and fused with Mu The Younger's thoughts, wrapping around Mu The Younger's soul completely. It was as if he had put on the Divine Armor of Skylight Horn. From now on, his soul would no longer have to fear any dangerous Demonic Tribulations.
"Congratulations, Mu The Younger. You have become a ghostly immortal and broken through the barrier between life and death. You have stepped onto the path of cultivation and entered the next level! You have become a Perfected Being! "Hong Yi said happily.
Mu The Younger's appearance was very similar to when he was on the ship. He had clearly become a ghostly immortal. After breaking through the barrier between life and death, his thoughts could disintegrate at any time, reincarnate, and possess another body. His lifespan would be greatly increased.
This was a new breakthrough.
"Jin Xun 'er, Xiao Shu, Xiao Fei, and Xiao Sang are still stuck at this critical juncture. They can't break through," Mu The Younger said.
"They will slowly comprehend it. There's still a long way to go. When I gather the Sages and write the Book of Changes, all of you can study and cultivate together. Once you have accumulated a huge amount of knowledge, breaking through to the ghostly immortal realm won't be difficult. In ancient times, becoming a ghostly immortal was considered to have entered the next level. "
Hong Yi said with a smile.
"What a great banner … You have broken through to the ghostly immortal realm. This is truly something worth celebrating. Even if you are a disciple of Xuantian Hall, once you break through to the ghostly immortal realm, your status will rise dramatically and you can become an elder! Even Yun Meng, the Great Emperor Nalan, can bestow a noble title to Marquis. "
A voice sounded from outside. Following that, Jitian flapped his wings and flew in.
"Hong Yi, I'm ready. I want to see what the Primordial Dragon Graveyard looks like. I heard that it's extremely dangerous. There are ancient mutated beasts and many arrays. They were set up by the divine beasts of the Primordial Celestial Dragon race to prevent powerful beings from invading their corpses. Hong Yi, when do you want to go? "
So Jitian couldn't wait any longer and wanted to go to the Primordial Dragon Graveyard.
"Although the two armies are facing off at the Sand Continent's border, it's still brewing. We have to get to the Primordial Dragon Graveyard as soon as possible and forge the godly armor." Mu The Younger said.
"Let's talk outside." Hong Yi nodded and walked out.
…
On the walls of the Sand Continent's impregnable border, Hong Yi, Chan Yinsha, Qilin, Dragon Lady, Yun Xiangxiang, Xie Wenyuan, Jitian and the rest stood together, releasing their auras without concealment.
These people were all peerless experts, the best of the best in the world.
As soon as the aura was released, the sky and the earth changed color and the wind and clouds shook. The army of the Western Region of the Gobi Desert of Immensity Sea, which had millions of soldiers, slaves, and experts stationed within a radius of hundreds of miles, immediately showed a nervous expression. Countless bugles were blown, and teams of soldiers nervously walked out of tents, city walls, and houses.
At the same time, the auras of countless experts were also released. Grandmaster, Wu Sheng, ghost immortals, and even the Lightning Tribulation Ghost Immortal's Gentle Yang Wind, and the power of gods!
Hong Yi and the rest looked at each other, then retracted their auras and calmed down. Immediately, the wind and waves calmed down.
Over time, many experts and deities of the Western Region stationed in the Gobi Desert of Immensity Sea sensed that the mountain-like and hellish auras had subsided. They all heaved a sigh of relief and gradually calmed down. However, the air was filled with an extremely tense atmosphere.
"There are indeed more and more experts in the Great Camp of the Vast Sea Gobi Desert. From the auras I sensed earlier, there are at least thirty to forty experts of Wu Sheng's level. In addition, there are even more ghost immortals, and five to six Lightning Tribulation experts. I also sensed the auras of Vigor, Sanguine Divinity, and Dharma Divinity. There is also the unfathomable divine power of the Ancient Rashomon's Gate of Illusion … "Xie Wenyuan said.
"Our auras have also intimidated them!" Hong Yi nodded. "They don't dare to act rashly. Now we can take some time to go to the Ancient Dragon's Graveyard."
"How long will it take?" Yun Xiangxiang asked, looking at Dragoness.
"With our combined daoist techniques, it won't take long to enter the void turbulence and approach the Ancient Dragon's Graveyard. One day should be enough. However, to break the barrier of the Dragon's Graveyard requires a great deal of power. But with Hong Yi's Rulai Dharmakaya, wielding the Pan Huang Sword is enough. As for what's going on inside, I have no idea. "
Dragoness pondered for a moment.
"In that case, let's not waste time. Let's go and return quickly."
Hong Yi said no more. He waved his hand, and the experts worked together to use daoist techniques to hide their traces. They split open space and disappeared.
In the next moment, they appeared in the void turbulence three hundred thousand zhang away.
"The void turbulence is boundless, and there are countless worlds hidden within. It is said that the end of the void turbulence is the mysterious Sky Beyond Heaven. But no one knows where it is, "Dragoness said." As for the Ancient Dragon's Graveyard, I know where it is. "
As she spoke, Dragon Lady took out an extremely long magnetic needle that flickered with light. On top of the magnetic needle was a disk with many positions on it.
After taking out the disk and the needle, Dragoness dripped a drop of her blood onto the needle. Immediately, the needle vibrated violently and began to spin on the disk.
Weng, weng, weng. After spinning for a while, the needle finally pointed in a direction.
"Go! That's the direction! "
Hong Yi and the others looked at each other, then used their spiritual power to fly into the void turbulence.
This void turbulence was much larger than the Desolate Wasteland, and there was no end to it. In one moment, there were meteorites, and in the next, there was a sea of light formed from the power of starlight. In the next, there was a huge black hole tunnel that emitted a powerful suction force. In the next, there was a huge ocean floating in space, and a land that was dozens or even hundreds of kilometers wide. But it was completely barren, with no plants or animals.
Hong Yi and the others were all great mystiques. They furiously flew in the direction of the magnetic needle, flying for hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
After a full day, the needle in Dragoness Ao Luan's hand suddenly stopped moving. At the same time, the needle glowed with a faint light.
Everyone stopped in their tracks and raised their heads to look ahead.
Immediately, in the chaotic sea of stars in the distance, extremely thick, scale-like clouds appeared hundreds of kilometers away. At the center of the clouds was a pitch-black tunnel with a circumference of a hundred kilometers. It was like a whirlpool in the sea, and it kept spinning.
"This is the Ancient Dragon's Graveyard!"
Dragoness said.
