"I remember that after the two Opium Wars, some of the knowledgeable people in the imperial court had already realized that the Qing Dynasty had fallen behind. The corrupt and muddle-headed officials only had peace and happiness in front of them. They only knew that they had finally gotten rid of the foreign devils, and they could still enjoy the benefits of being a ruler. And those knowledgeable people thought that if the foreign devils could fight once, twice, there would definitely be a third time. If they didn't think about becoming stronger, then the next time, the Qing Dynasty could only compensate and be bullied. "
"At that time, the imperial court was divided into two factions. The main idea of one faction was to learn from the foreigners to control the foreigners. They advocated learning from the foreigners' advanced technology and buying the foreigners' weapons to defend against the foreigners. The other faction was to find the Pantheon Palace and find the power to destroy the world from within. "
"Unfortunately, they didn't find the Pantheon Palace at that time, right?" Li Xianyu now understood that period of history very well, including the things about the Bloodline World that weren't recorded in the official history books.
"Yes, they didn't find the Pantheon Palace, so they came up with another method: to refine the Unparalleled Battle Soul." Great-grandmother said softly, "The concept of the Unparalleled Battle Soul was found in the imperial family's library by the first batch of researchers who flipped through the ancient books. Thus, they began the Unparalleled Battle Soul refining project that lasted for decades: the national treasure, the Unparalleled Battle Soul! "
"Wait!" Li Xianyu was shocked and felt that it was inconceivable, "The inspiration for the Unparalleled Battle Soul … was found in the Qing Dynasty's library?"
Great-grandmother nodded, "So the imperial family has always been a hardcore supporter of the Battle Soul project. Even though it was announced that the Li family had colluded with a group of people with evil intentions to steal the Dragon Ball and refine the Battle Soul. At that time, the stubborn faction led by King Duan first supported the search for the Pantheon Palace, then began to organize and prepare to refine the Unparalleled Battle Soul. If not, why would that old woman Cixi agree to give up the Dragon Ball. "
"Yes, otherwise why would she give up the Dragon Ball …" Li Xianyu muttered, "The inspiration for refining the Unparalleled Battle Soul came from the imperial family's library. The Dragon Ball was also provided by the imperial family. The Pantheon Palace, that's right, where is the Pantheon Palace?"
"You're speeding," Great-grandmother kindly reminded him.
While Li Xianyu was thinking, the car had accelerated to 140. The Audi A9 was like a silver-gray lightning bolt, speeding on the highway.
After he slowed down, Great-grandmother said, "You might not believe it, but before the Qing Dynasty, there was no legend of the Pantheon Palace."
Great-grandmother's words were like a bolt of lightning flashing across Li Xianyu's mind.
"Dragon Slaying in the Yangtze River!" He recited a story that happened in the World of Bloodline during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
"When the Manchurian Qing Dynasty was at its strongest, an evil dragon appeared in the Yangtze River. It stirred up trouble and swallowed the warships. The Prince Regent personally led an army into the river and slayed the evil dragon. This is the origin of the Dragon Pearl and Soul Extinguishing Spear. "
"Oh my god, just how powerful was the Manchurian bloodline organization back then?" Li Xianyu lamented. That dragon was most likely an Ancient Demon Slough that escaped from the Pantheon Palace. It was at least Extreme Grade, or even the peak of Extreme Grade.
"Don't underestimate the Manchurian Qing Dynasty back then. It was the most powerful human political organization in the Asian continent. It was full of talents and experts, and there was more than one Extreme Grade expert. That Prince Regent was also known as the number one warrior of Manchuria. He had never lost a battle in his life. With his divine bravery and countless experts forming a battle formation, even if an Ancient Demon was reincarnated, it would still be dead, let alone an Ancient Demon Slough. "Great-grandmother was at the peak of Extreme Grade. Her words were naturally trustworthy.
"The hyenas besieged and killed the lion." Li Xianyu nodded.
"But that Prince Regent died at the age of 39. He died young and retired from the stage of history. However, he left behind a notebook that recorded the secrets of the Pantheon Palace. According to his records, the Pantheon Palace was a place where the treasures of Ancient Demons were buried. It was originally the bedroom of the world's ruler. The World Lord put the treasures away to lure his enemies into a trap. "
Screech! The Audi A9 made an ear-piercing sound as it came to a sudden stop. The car slid several meters due to inertia, and the four tires emitted green smoke.
"F * ck, why didn't you tell me such important information?" Li Xianyu was stunned.
Now, it was not one bolt of lightning that struck his mind, but N bolts of lightning.
He thought about the Ancient Demons that entered the Pantheon Palace voluntarily and were eventually killed inside. He thought about the treasures that his biological father, Li Wuxiang, brought out.
"The existence of the Pantheon Palace has always been a mystery. The Qing court searched for many years but couldn't find it. So, they treated the things that the Prince Regent recorded in the notebook as exaggerated nonsense." Great-grandmother felt wronged. "I've never entered the Pantheon Palace before. I heard it from my father when I was young. I just treated it as a story. If I hadn't experienced so many things and entered the Pantheon Palace once, I wouldn't have remembered it. "
As she spoke, she punched Li Xianyu's arm a few times to vent her anger. "I didn't have the chance after that. Not long after I entered the Pantheon Palace, you were separated from me. When we met, you died in three seconds. What could I say? I only have the chance to say it to you now that we've reunited. "
The car started again. Li Xianyu lit a cigarette and turned the car into the right lane with the lowest speed limit. "Don't talk first. Let me calm down. Let me calm down."
After experiencing so many things, there were probably two things that could be confirmed. There was something in the Pantheon Palace that tempted the Ancient Demons. They entered it one after another and died inside.
At first, he suspected that the Pantheon Palace was a cage. Later, after analyzing the murals, he realized that it wasn't because the Ancient Demons entered willingly.
When these clues and messy clues came together, in addition to what Great-grandmother had said, the truth was on the verge of being revealed.
There was an existence behind the Pantheon Palace. The title of the Lord of the World was too childish. It could be understood as a very powerful individual or force at that time. They had some kind of treasure in their hands, and the Ancient Demons desired it.
If that was the case, the background was clear … But …
"But how did your Prince Regent know these secrets?" Li Xianyu asked.
Great-grandmother rolled her eyes. "Do you think I would know?"
Li Xianyu nodded. He felt that Great-grandmother's answer was in line with her intelligence. "What did he say about that treasure?"
"That's true." Great-grandmother thought for a while. "Overturning the universe, invincible in the universe."
She sighed. "Just because of these four words, the Qing court spent a lot of manpower and material resources."
"It's eight words."
"Pa!" A small fist came, and Li Xianyu's bones were fractured. The Audi A9 slithered on the road like a snake.
"The original inspiration for the Unparalleled War Soul was also left behind by the Prince Regent. After killing the evil dragon, he found that although the evil dragon was dead, its body contained unimaginable power. It was not something that a human body could possess. Even the body of a Supreme Grade expert did not have the power of the evil dragon. The dragon ball was the essence. From it, he saw the opportunity to reach the peak of the Supreme Grade, so he thought about how to turn the power of the dragon ball into his own. He gathered many famous figures of the Taoism and Buddhism, as well as the refiners of the Bloodline World, and painstakingly studied it. Unfortunately, until his accidental death, he did not find a feasible method. However, he left behind many attempts. He recorded his gains and the reasons for his failures in his notes. More than two hundred years ago, his Unparalleled War Soul was reactivated by his descendants. "
"Now you know why I want to find the Manchurian elders." Great-grandmother gritted her teeth and said, "If the Unparalleled War Soul project was orchestrated by someone behind the scenes and had been planned for a long time, then looking for their descendants is the right choice."
"But aren't you looking for a needle in a haystack?" The small group of people who participated and knew about the War Soul project had long been buried in the dust of history. They had hidden their identities for so many years, so it was impossible to find them.
"What else can I do?" Great-grandmother pouted and said angrily, "It's been a hundred and twenty years. Just look for it. Bosch is a useless organization."
"You can't blame Bosch. If you want to blame someone, blame Wang Chen," Li Xianyu said.
Hearing this, a few blood vessels on his left arm flashed with a dim light under his pitch-black skin.
"Didn't you say it's asleep?"
"You can't wake it up easily. But as long as you say 'it's all Wang Chen's fault', it will instinctively respond."
Great-grandmother heard this and suddenly became interested. She said like a repeater, "It's all Wang Chen's fault, it's all Wang Chen's fault …"
The dim red light swelled and fell, giving a response. It was like a voice-activated switch.
Great-grandmother smiled, her eyes curved into a beautiful crescent. "Ah, this is fun."
Slime, this idiot … Li Xianyu sighed. To be able to make an ancient demon's shell develop such a deep obsession, Taoist Wang Chen, you really deserve this blame.
Mao Mountain was more than two hundred kilometers from Shanghai. They set off at 9: 30 in the morning. When they arrived at Shanghai and drove off the highway, it was already 12: 30 in the afternoon. Li Xianyu calculated in his heart. On the way, he kept speeding and made two emergency stops. Because he was not familiar with the road, he even made a U-turn at the wrong intersection. He had lost 12 points on his driver's license. No, his driver's license would be revoked.
Therefore, returning to Bosch was the right choice. These small matters were not easy for a normal person like him to solve, but for Bosch, it was just a phone call.
The Audi A9 parked in the underground parking lot. Li Xianyu took the elevator with Great-grandmother to the front desk on the first floor. He patted the table and said to the girl at the front desk, "Tell Dharmaraja that I'm back. Wait for him at the revolving restaurant on the top floor. "
He drove overnight to Mao Mountain last night and didn't eat breakfast. He had a fight in the middle of the night and consumed a lot of energy. At this moment, he was so hungry that he ate three pounds.
The girl at the front desk was dumbfounded. She stared at the back of the grandfather and granddaughter for a long time. She swallowed and dialed the number with trembling hands. "Fa-Fawang … the heir of the Li family … is back …"
