Starting from the Valkyrie, pushing across the ages

Chapter 52 Lingzhou
After entering the Appearance Realm, Shen Qing finally realized the difficulty of cultivation that Sikong Yuan said before.

After descending the Jiutian Mountain, the aura of heaven and earth became thinner and thinner, and the essence of the sun, moon and stars was far from the top of Tianshan Mountain.

The Dao seeds cultivated in the dantian have been running extremely slowly, and the illusory stars only turn once every few hours, appearing lazily.

Insufficient aura of heaven and earth has caused Dao species to be in a state of silence in order to reduce their own consumption.

Under the erosion of all kinds of turbidity, Shen Qing even vaguely felt that her abundant vitality was dimly diminishing, and she was shortening her lifespan.

Under such circumstances, it would be unrealistic for Shen Qing's cultivation to go further, even stepping into Condensation Yuan, in less than two or three hundred years.

On the Nine Heavens Mountain, this time may be compressed to a hundred years, but during these hundred years, she must not have any distracting thoughts, and she must concentrate on practicing hard all the time, which is almost impossible for ordinary people.

Practicing the ancient method in this life, the biggest shackle is the environment of the heaven and earth. Shallow water cannot support big fish, and thin aura cannot support overly powerful creatures to move about in the world. The power of blood has almost become the only reliance to improve one's cultivation.

Yang Zongxian's practice also relies on devouring the origin of the blood of the gods. Without enough blood to supplement him, he is still stuck at the peak of the condensed essence and cannot make any progress.

If there is no sundial, it is impossible for Shen Qing to choose to practice the secret code of Xingyuan, this path is too time-consuming.

When she enters the condensed essence, it may take ten days and a half months or even longer to make up for the lost true essence after a battle. Ordinary people cannot afford to waste such energy.

"I'm going to Lingzhou."

After descending the Tianshan Mountains, Shen Qing went all the way back to the Moro Kingdom's palace, found Zhao Yu, and told her about her future plans.

"Can I go together?" Zhao Yu asked without hope.

"I'm going to Lingzhou. I haven't figured out the specific situation yet. I can't take you there. It will be dangerous." Shen Qing shook her head naturally.

Originally, she didn't plan to go to Lingzhou so soon, but now Yang Zongxi and the court suddenly started a war, and the territory of Daxia was already in flames of war.

The battle has already begun, so Lingzhou can't stay out of it, and it will be affected sooner or later. We must go to find Fu Chan as soon as possible, confirm her safety, and take her away from disaster.

"Come back earlier." Zhao Yu didn't say any more, she had gradually adapted to this feeling of powerlessness.

All she can do now is to try her best to do well what Shen Qing has arranged for her, and practice hard.

Shen Qing stayed in the palace for one night, selected dozens of martial arts secret books from the current world in his memory, copied them all, and handed them to Zhao Yu.

I don't know how long it will take for her to come back and introduce these martial arts secrets into the army, which can be regarded as accumulating some foundation first. With two or three big cats and kittens now, she is still far away from wrestling with Da Xia's wrist.

In addition to these martial arts methods, Shen Qing also wrote a history book for Zhao Yu that spanned more than two thousand years.

The annals of history are incomplete, and Shen Qing can remember only a small part. Based on the most basic rise and fall of the dynasty, she added some ancient ways of being a king to Zhao Yu, which are nothing more than rewards and punishments, accepting advice and seeking talents.

Apart from these, the most important point is practice.

It is too difficult to cultivate a qualified emperor. As far as Shen Qing knows in history, no matter which dynasty or generation of emperors, they have been taught by more than ten top teachers before they cultivated a bit of an emperor. Her level is far from being comparable to those great Confucian sages who study heaven and man.

But fortunately, in today's world, great power belongs to oneself, and the requirements of being an emperor are far from that complicated. Enough strength is enough to suppress all turmoil, just like Yang Zongxian.

As long as she has enough power, Zhao Yu will be able to suppress those who can help her govern the world and complete her own transition as the lord of the world.

After arranging everything, Shen Qing set foot on the Daxia territory alone, turned from Qianzhou, and headed for Lingzhou.

Her cultivation has reached the state of appearance, and in today's martial arts world, she has entered the ranks of masters on the earth list. Although there are ups and downs along the way, she has not encountered any troubles that could threaten her.

After less than half a month, she traveled more than [-] li, across Qianzhou and Yuanzhou, and stepped into Lingzhou smoothly.

The Imperial Capital of Great Xia, Shengyang City.

Inside the red-walled imperial palace of the Zhumen, on the Golden Luan Hall.

Yang Zongxian sat high on the dragon chair, his face slightly pale, listening to the successive reports of defeat coming from below, he remained silent.

In just half a month, Yang Zongxi had completely annexed Xuanzhou, and Chen Bing was on the border of Yuanzhou, pointing directly at the imperial capital.

After all the ministries reported the report, Yang Zongxian said, "What happened in the southern border? Has the fleet from Longquan come back?"

"There have been Gu masters who have appeared in Mingzhou one after another, in broad daylight, using Gu to injure people and kill them, what's more, they use witchcraft to confuse people's hearts, and the heart of disobedience is clearly revealed." A minister came out and responded.

"The envoys to Longquan have already returned. The case of the Lingzhou port was indeed the first action of the people in Longquan Xiandao. This led to a drastic change in the situation and thousands of deaths."

Another minister stepped forward, bowed slightly, and said hesitantly, "The people in Longquan Xiandao didn't give any explanation for this, and they didn't even allow my Daxia ship to dock..."

Yang Zongxian rubbed the center of his brows, closed his eyes and concentrated, and only after a while did he speak:
"Designed to catch the gods, three days later, before noon, I want to see the head of the Gu king in the southern border."

"As for the matter of Longquan Xiandao, let's put it down for now and discuss it later."

After saying that, Yang Zongxian waved his hand: "Retire."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

The courtiers gradually dispersed, and silence returned to the Golden Luan Hall.

Yang Zongxian straightened up, covered his mouth and coughed lightly, and it took a while to subside. The palm covering his mouth was pitch black, as if thunder was burning.

Taoist in Tsing Yi came out from behind the dragon chair, holding a bowl of talisman water in his hand, and served Yang Zongxian to drink it.

When the talisman water entered his throat, Yang Zongxian's expression immediately eased a lot: "There is Lao Guoshi."

"That talisman, placed in ancient times, can trigger the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, at least able to kill the great masters in the Divine Hidden Realm. Fortunately, today's spiritual energy is exhausted, and His Majesty is lucky to survive."

The Taoist in Tsing Yi sighed softly, and shook his head slightly: "King Zunqing must have discovered the caves left by the ancient Qi refiners, and only then did he have those spiritual treasure talismans. Your Majesty may be in serious trouble."

Thousands of years have passed, and the aura of heaven and earth has become thinner and thinner. In a certain corner of the world, there may still be old monsters from hundreds of years ago lurking, who can have the cultivation level of the Gangsha Realm, but the Divine Hidden Realm has long been extinct.

In addition to the fact that the founding emperor of the Great Xia had this kind of strength, even in the history of the former dynasty, there are records of the presence of masters in the Shenzang Realm, and it was nearly ten thousand years ago.

"What's the best strategy for the national teacher?" Yang Zongxian calmed down and said in a deep voice.

"Brothers of flesh and blood are connected by blood. This minister uses His Majesty's essence and blood as a guide to set up the altar, which can cut both of your lifespans by [-] years at the same time. In this way, Your Majesty may be able to delay the death of Your Majesty the King."
