"Master, there are only five days left before the Emperor's coronation ceremony. Prince Yu asked me to come and ask if the Imperial Seal that you've made is ready?"
In the Book of Changes Pavilion, Hong Yi was meditating on the mysteries of heaven. His Essence, Qi, and Divine Thoughts were combined with the entire 99 states and the Boundless Universe. He was trying to find the space point of his last 99 acupoints, so that he could shatter the vacuum and break through to the Yang Spirit State.
"The Yang Spirit, the Yang Spirit is like the sun, worshiped by all things. Once it's mastered, an unparalleled power will be formed in this world. The breathing of the body will be in sync with the breathing of the universe. The circulation of the body and the Way of First Element will be in perfect harmony, and the power will be unimaginably strong."
Hong Yi opened his eyes and looked at Yao Yueru, who had appeared at the staircase. He shook his head, still thinking about the calculation of the Way of the Yang Spirit that the future Lord Xi had just made.
For the current Hong Yi, the Way of the Yang Spirit was not an unreachable distance. It was within his reach, only one step away. Just one more step and he would be able to step into it.
However, this step was not an easy thing to accomplish.
From the Primordial Age to the Middle Age, there were countless experts who were stuck at this step but could not find the right path. Even the Philosophers of the Middle Age were no exception.
Some of the Hundred Sages in the Middle Age were powerful, such as the Sons of Brahma, whose cultivation was similar to Hong Yi's, but they also had no chance of reaching the Yang Spirit State.
From the Body Possession Realm to the Ghost Immortal Realm was a hurdle, from the Ghost Immortal Realm to the Thunder Tribulation was another hurdle, and from the Thunder Tribulation to the Creator Realm was a big hurdle. However, from the Thunder Tribulation to the Yang Spirit Realm after the Thunder Tribulation, it was ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times more difficult than becoming a Creator.
Now, the last step for Hong Yi was to use the powerful calculation power of the future Lord Xi to calculate everything and deduce the various mysteries of the Way of the Yang Spirit.
It was not that he did not have a blueprint. He had fought with Xu Yi once. Facing all kinds of information of his Yang Spirit thoughts, he handed it over to "Xi" to calculate. He could also get some clues, which was greatly beneficial to his cultivation.
"It's a pity that I can't obtain Xu Yi's Pan Huang Divine Sense. If I could obtain it and let the Future Lord comprehend it and calculate it, I can conclude that in less than three years, I would definitely be able to become a Yang Spirit and ascend to the highest realm of cultivation!"
With a sigh, Hong Yi knew that without any real items or thoughts of the Yang Spirit, it was impossible to calculate all the mysteries of the Way of the Yang Spirit just by guessing.
"Yue Ru, go and tell Prince Yu that during the coronation ceremony that will take place in five days, the royal seal that represents the Supremacy of Heaven and Earth will definitely be successfully refined. I guarantee that his coronation ceremony will be legitimate."
Hong Yi looked at Yao Yueru. Right now, Yao Yueru was in control of the Royal Army and a portion of the army's authority. She was helping Prince Yu take charge of the world's armies and suppress the civil strife. She had also been conferred the title of Marquis. Women were conferred marquises only in rare dynasties and under special circumstances.
"Alright." Just as Yao Yueru was about to leave, she suddenly stopped. "Prince Yu said that he wants to punish the Zhao Clan. There are a total of 276,451 people in the Hong Clan. When a new emperor ascends the throne, he needs to use thunderous methods to intimidate everyone. He needs fresh blood to consolidate the dynasty. Therefore, Prince Yu wants to behead ten thousand people. Madam Zhao, Madam Rong, Hong Zhen, Hong Gui, Hong Xi … and those sons of Hong Xuanji will all be beheaded at the entrance of the market. Because of this matter, he wants me to ask you about it and ask for your opinion."
"This is also part of the matter."
Hong Yi nodded.
Now, the Hong Family and the Zhao Family were completely finished. Every day, Prince Yu issued orders to capture the Zhao Family. The Hong Family's henchmen scattered across the Great Qian Dynasty, overseas, and even the grasslands beyond the Great Wall, the Western Region, and the bitter cold lands in the north had all been captured.
The Zhao Clan and the Hong Clan were originally prominent clans that had existed for hundreds of years. Their nine clans were simply uncountable. Now, Hong Xuanji had committed a great crime of having his nine clans executed. All nine clans were captured. Even the Hong Clan's ancestral hall, the Hong Clan's ancestral tombs, and the ancestors' corpses were dug out. Their corpses were whipped, chopped, and then burned.
Prince Yu was doing this on the day of the coronation ceremony. He was doing this to protect his own authority. Protecting authority was the way of an emperor. The first thing to do was to be benevolent and dignified. However, killing was also an indispensable method. An emperor who didn't kill would not be dignified. Even the ancient Saint Emperors were decisive in killing, they were like thunder and wind.
"Execute the culprit!"
Hong Yi thought about it and said these four words. Prince Yu was an extremely intelligent person. Naturally, he could understand what he meant.
"I understand." Yao Yueru nodded. Her eyes flickered. "Hong Yi, now that your corpse has been dismembered, you no longer have any blood relations with us …"
After saying this, her body moved, and she immediately went downstairs. She walked very fast, as if to express what she meant.
…
Hong Yi shook his head and walked into the great formation of the Hall of Saints.
The great formation above the Taiji Lightning Pool was still operating at full power. Hong Xuanji sat cross-legged in it. Chaotic Qi emanated from his body, repelling the aura of the 1197 chains. This prevented the chains from piercing into his acupoints and absorbing his energy.
After these few days of operation, Hong Yi also sensed that Hong Xuanji's strength was beginning to weaken. He was like a person who had gone through intense exercise and was showing signs of fatigue.
Hong Yi knew that Hong Xuanji's recovery ability was extremely powerful. As long as the great formation stopped operating for a few breaths' time, he would immediately be able to absorb the energy in the boundless space and recover to his peak strength. As a result, the great formation showed no signs of stopping at all.
"Hong Xuanji, you must have heard what Yao Yueru and I said. In five days, the new emperor will ascend to the throne. In order to protect the authority of the empire, the Hong and Zhao families must be executed. At that time, many people will be executed at the entrance of the market … "
Hong Yi's voice was transmitted into the great formation.
"Hmph! Unfilial son, I've already cultivated to such a level. Can these things still sway my heart? "Hong Xuanji seemed to have calmed down a lot. He did not move at all.
"I've long known that you are a cold-hearted person. Yet, you pretend to care about your family to protect your morals." Hong Yi shook his head and said, "Gou Li, you and I will work together to extract his divine arts and forge a royal seal.
Gou Li's body appeared at the edge of the Taiji Lightning Pool. He shook his head slightly and said, "The Imperial Heavenly Jade Seal was meticulously forged by Pan Huang. He used the bodies of many demon kings and primordial treasures to forge it. I'm afraid it's not very possible for you to forge an existence that surpasses the Imperial Heavenly Jade Seal. Although it's possible to extract all of Hong Xuanji's divine arts, it's too much of a pity. You must know that Hong Xuanji's energy, if used well, can probably create a few masters of creation and peak human immortals. "
"Where's your Mountain and Sea Pearl?" Hong Yi smiled. "With your Mountain and Sea Pearl as the foundation, together with some of Hong Xuanji's divine arts and energy, it's enough to forge an existence that can match the Imperial Heavenly Royal Seal. After all, the Imperial Heavenly Jade Seal is only a symbolic item. In terms of strength, it's inferior to a King of Divine Artifacts. It's only equivalent to the Life, Void, and Time swords."
"That's true!" Gou Li flipped his hand and a Mountain and Sea Pearl the size of a fist appeared in his hand.
"Your calculations sure are exquisite and deep. In fact, Pan Huang wanted to forcefully take away my Mountain and Sea Pearl to forge the Imperial Heavenly Royal Seal back then. However, due to various reasons, he didn't do so, "said Gou Li. "This Mountain and Sea Pearl of mine contains all sorts of primordial and desolate auras. It can control all living things and suppress fiendcelestials. It's the best choice to use it as a seal. It's rare that you share the same thoughts as Pan Huang. I've really lucked out this time."
It turned out that the reason why Hong Yi refined the Mountain and Sea Pearl into a seal was not to erase the imprint within. Instead, he infused Hong Xuanji's blood essence and divine arts to refine it anew and lend it to Prince Yu. Its original owner was still Gou Li.
As long as Gou Li faced an enemy, he could still use the jade seal that was about to be refined to fight them.
"The Imperial Heavenly Jade Seal isn't that easy to replace. You should just forget about it." Hong Xuanji's voice sounded faintly.
"Is that so?" Hong Yi sighed but did not say a word. Instead, he pondered for a moment, as though he was thinking of something important or listening to the commotion. Suddenly, he waved his hand. "Since the Grand Supreme Path's Saintess, Miss Su Mu, is here, come in and take a look."
A space-time tunnel led to an unknown place. At the end of it was the figure of a woman. It was none other than Su Mu.
"Hong Yi, your divine arts are getting stronger and stronger. You actually knew that I wanted to come to the Repository of Sutra Changes." Su Mu was first alarmed before she walked through the tunnel step by step. Finally, she came to the depths of the Myriad Sacred Hall. At the edge of the Taiji Lightning Pool, she stood face to face with Hong Yi and Gou Li.
"Miss Su Mu, what are you here for?" Hong Yi asked casually.
Su Mu did not say a word. Instead, she stared straight at Hong Xuanji who was in the array. After a long time, she suddenly let out a chuckle. A comfortable state rippled in her mind.
Hong Yi could clearly feel that at this moment, Su Mu's thoughts were much clearer. Her cultivation seemed to have improved by another level.
"Hong Xuanji, I bet you didn't expect this day to come. I still remember how arrogant and domineering you were five years ago. You treated me, the Saintess of the Grand Supreme Path, like nothing. Actually, when you first saw me in the Flower Scattering Brothel that day, I could sense a trace of evil in the depths of your heart. You wanted to toy with me too, didn't you? "
Su Mu suddenly spoke to Hong Xuanji.
"Hmph!" Hong Xuanji snorted coldly and did not say a word.
"So Lord Father still wanted to toy with the Saintess?" Hong Yi said slowly. "Lord Father has had many women in this lifetime. Zhao Feier, Yao Qinghui … It seems like Lord Father also had feelings for Miss Consort Yuan. Needless to say, it goes without saying for Su Mu. Scholars of Confucianism are all about upholding justice and extinguishing human desires. I didn't expect Lord Father to have such strong desires. "
"What dao techniques do you guys have? Show them all!" Hong Xuanji's tone became indifferent. "The stronger your techniques, the greater the hope of me shattering the vacuum."
"Stubborn fool!" Su Mu scolded and took a deep breath. He looked at Hong Yi and took out the Two Scriptures of the Universe. He shook it and handed it to Hong Yi. "This is the Two Scriptures of the Grand Supreme Path. It was also left for you by Meng Bingyun. Master instructed me to return it to you. This is yours. Back then, Master had an agreement with Meng Bingyun. She indeed left this Two Scriptures of the Universe for you. You don't have to return it to the Grand Supreme Path."
"Oh?" Hong Yi looked at the Two Scriptures of the Universe in his hand and saw that the two books were made from a type of sky-blue material. Vortexes could be seen on each page, as well as the endless secrets of space and time. It was actually a wondrous magic treasure.
"Meng Bingyun originally left it for you secretly. However, it was taken away by Hong Xuanji. Hong Xuanji's original intention was to not let you learn any dao techniques. He wanted you to die of old age in the Marquis's Residence. It was equivalent to imprisoning you. I didn't expect you to have such a fortuitous encounter. Actually, I had the intention to secretly impart techniques to you." Su Mu said.
"Oh? I appreciate Miss Su Mu's kind intentions. Why did you give me the Two Scriptures of the Universe this time? The Monogatari has a message for me. "Hong Yi smiled." I think it has something to do with Yang Pan and the leader of the Sky Beyond Heaven, Xu Yi. "
"It is indeed as Sect Head said. You have planned everything." Su Mu smiled. "Sect Head wants to work with you to kill Xu Yi! This time, Xu Yi and Yang Pan want to work together to transfer everyone from the Xu Clan to the Great Thousand World through the Boat of Fortune. Yang Pan and Sect Head want to use this opportunity to kill Xu Yi and sacrifice the 300 million disciples of the Xu Clan to cultivate supreme mystic arts. Sect Head wants to ask if you want a share of the profits! "
"It is really you plot against me and I plot against you. Yang Pan and Xu Yi are working together but secretly plotting against me with the Monogatari. And the Monogatari and Yang Pan are working together but colluding with me to plot against Yang Pan. Maybe Xu Yi is working together with others to plot against me. In this scheme, everyone is an enemy. Should I agree or not? "Hong Yi said with a smile that was not a smile.
"You will agree. This is a chance. You can't not agree." Su Mu also smiled.
"I can't be wrong. I will definitely agree." Hong Yi looked at Su Mu for a while. "Since you gave me the Two Scriptures of the Universe, then watch me forge the jade seal. Gou Li, let's do it! "
As he spoke, Hong Yi and Gou Li activated the array fiercely. The 1197 chains stabbed into Hong Xuanji's major acupoints.
Hong Xuanji was caught off guard. His acupoints were broken by Hong Yi, Gou Li and Gou Li's attacks!
Instantly, essence energy was sucked out.
Ah! Ah! Ah! Hong Xuanji let out an earth-shattering roar.
