Lord of the Earth

"What does this hexagram mean?"

Xia Tian looked at Lai Buyi at that time, asking with some curiosity on his face.

"Your Majesty, these are some of the hexagrams from the Book of Changes... Tiger-eyed, it means the beast is ferocious and greedy. It is also the look of greed and haste for gain!"

"The fox is a prey creature that keeps looking back while escaping; the hawk is a falcon that has spotted its prey and is about to fly and catch it!"

Lai Buyi, who was dressed in simple blue cloth and was the chief official of the second-rank "Feng Shui Pavilion", said with a respectful expression on his face.

"From the hexagram, it should mean that there is an alien race that has been watching us and has become greedy for the treasures and resources we currently have. In addition, it implies that a powerful alien race has set its sights on someone in our Qianxia Dynasty and has made a gesture of wanting to 'hunt' him!"

"Hunting? Are there any alien races that regard the people of our Qianxia Dynasty as prey?!"

Xia Tian's heart moved.

It is not surprising that foreign races are eyeing the Qianxia Dynasty covetously.

After all, humans have “put themselves in the game.”

By deploying a large number of territories, we have occupied a large amount of resources and treasures!

However, Xia Tian was somewhat surprised that some alien races regarded people from the Qianxia Dynasty as "prey".

After all, given the current situation in the Qianxia Dynasty, most alien creatures would try to avoid it as much as possible. It is rare to see any creature that dares to treat the people of the Qianxia Dynasty as prey.
Who could this "prey" be? Could it be me?
"Mountain, medicine, fate, physiognomy, divination... There is some truth in the fact that this art of divination can be included in the 'Five Arts of Metaphysics'. Unfortunately, it is too obscure for ordinary people to master, and its direction is not clear enough... Otherwise, it might be able to be used in war to play a greater role!"

That's why Xia Tian doesn't take this "divination technique" too seriously.

The reason for this is not only the many limitations of divination itself.

It is also because of a story in Chinese history.

When King Wu was going to attack King Zhou, before the decisive battle, it rained heavily for three days in a row.

The sorcerer performed divination three times, and the results he got were all "very bad"!
When King Wu and everyone else were shaken.

Jiang Ziya simply crushed and broke the tortoise shell used for divination with grass, and said bluntly, "How can dry grass and rotten bones tell good and bad fortune?"
Immediately, the army set out and won a great victory in the Battle of Muye, successfully destroying Shang and establishing the 800-year foundation of the Zhou Dynasty!
Therefore, the Chinese people have always believed that "man can conquer nature"!
Moreover, putting aside other things, if the goddess of fate could peek into fate and predict good and bad luck, how could she be caught by the spider queen and even have her eyes gouged out?
As the saying goes, fortune tellers cannot tell fortunes for themselves, and doctors cannot treat themselves?
"This... I don't know. Maybe it's because the Spider Queen is too powerful, even gods can't match her. Or maybe it's the God of Fate who did it on purpose? I am still not very knowledgeable about divination, so I can't understand it!"

Lai Buyi shook his head.

Although, now everyone knows that the enemy is the so-called "Gods".

However, due to the limitations of the current world, people do not know how powerful the gods really are?
Naturally, I don’t know about the entanglement between the so-called "Spider Queen" and the "Goddess of Fate".

In fact, this kind of problem is something that no one other than the person involved has any way of knowing, and there is not much point in figuring it out!

"Oh, by the way. Has the new Feng Shui formation been designed?"

So, Xia Tian didn't continue asking, but asked another question.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the original "Nine Dragons Gathering Spirits Feng Shui Array" around Baiyujing could no longer meet the needs.

Xia Tian asked the people in the "Feng Shui Pavilion" where Lai Buyi was located to modify the Feng Shui formation, so as to make the dynasty's current "Hundred Spiritual Veins" more valuable!

"It has been designed. However, my attainments in Feng Shui are far inferior to Lord Yang. This time I have to rely more on Lord Yang. Your Majesty, Lord Yang's attainments in Feng Shui are truly the best in ancient and modern times, and I'm afraid they are not inferior to those of the saints..."

Lai Buyi stroked his beard and said with admiration.

Yang Gong, also known as Yang Yunsong.

He is a Feng Shui master who was rescued from the catastrophe together with Xu Shu and Gan Ning. He is the best in ancient Chinese Feng Shui and is good at "finding dragons and locating acupoints"!
His current position is "Deputy Master of Feng Shui Pavilion", which is below the second rank.

"This new formation is called 'Hundred Dragons Facing the Sky'. Once it is fully formed, it will not only allow these dragon veins to gain 'vitality' and have growth potential, but it can also control these 'dragon veins' and make them gather in different cities, so that my Qianxia Dynasty can expand towards the periphery..."

"And with the help of the power of this Feng Shui formation, Your Majesty will be able to mobilize the power of the entire earth and even change the mountains and rivers... However, the power of the dragon vein is related to the fate of the country. Once used, it may shake the foundation of the country."

“Therefore, caution is required…”

Lai Buyi said.

"So good!"

Harnessing the "Dragon Vein" and making it move is definitely very useful!

This is because, in the Eternal Land, "Spiritual Veins" are indispensable if one wants to cultivate to a high level, especially to maintain the operation of a city of one million people.

The quality of the spiritual vein is of paramount importance. If the "Feng Shui Pavilion" can really complete the arrangement of this "Hundred Dragons Facing the Sky Formation", it will be enough to add a lot of foundation to the Qianxia Dynasty!
As for changing the mountain and river environment, this is even more useful.

After all, according to the information we learned before.

After the next round of fusion of heaven and earth, the lord's talents will become invalid, which also means that the previously inherited "mountains and rivers inside and outside" talents need some methods to replace them. This Feng Shui formation is undoubtedly a good substitute!
"Sir, several people have come to offer their treasures!"

While summer was reminiscing in my mind.

Suddenly, Tie Shou walked into Chaotian Hall from outside and said.

"Offer a treasure, what treasure?"

"According to what those people said, it was a bronze artifact with fairy patterns... Because the Lord had ordered us and the people around us to find special bronze artifacts... So, after he found it, he brought it here to offer as a treasure!"

"The bronze thing?"

Summer is remembered.

There is a secret room called the "Emperor's Palace" above the "Mirage". Inside, there is a bronze Jianmu tree with seven empty branches. A total of seven "bronze treasures" are needed to restore it.

Only then can a special secret passage be opened!

In order to collect them as soon as possible, Xia Tian issued an order that anyone who found similar bronze treasures could "present" them.

The Qianxia Dynasty will purchase it at a high price and provide corresponding rewards!
However, each of these bronze treasures is at least rated “gold”, which is equivalent to the “holy object” level, and so far no other forces have taken them out for trade.

Now someone has obtained it and even offers it as a treasure?

"How are these people's cultivation?"

"They are just ordinary people. The strongest ones can only transform five times!"

"How can such a treasure be obtained by ordinary people? Have you investigated his identity?"

Jia Xu stroked the bamboo slips in his hand, but his expression was serious.

"Reporting to Master Jia, I have already used the Star Palace to check the origins of these people. There is no big problem! However, this treasure is of a higher grade. Several detection methods cannot reveal its origin. According to them, they picked it up by accident..."

"In addition, they also said that they are willing to hand over the treasure directly, and do not ask for anything in return. They just want to meet Your Majesty and present it in person!"

Said Iron Hand.

This doesn't seem to be a big problem.

Because, the story of Hao Daniu who picked up the "Sun Gold Bottle" and gave it to Xia Tian, ​​and later became the camp leader of the Qianxia Dynasty and held the second-rank camp leader official position, has now become a well-known story to most people in the Qianxia Dynasty.

Being personally received by the emperor left a certain impression in the emperor's mind.

And a favor may have a value that goes beyond direct material rewards.

"Will you meet him in person?" "Iron Hand, go inform the Demon Suppression General and ask him to go to Qiankun Square!"

Xia Tian’s eyes narrowed.

The next moment, he took a step forward and appeared outside Chaotian Palace.

Then, the ground opened automatically, revealing a passage that brought him to a square outside.

"His Majesty……"

"It's really your majesty!"

"I have met His Majesty."

There were a few people waiting in the square. Their clothes and appearance looked somewhat different from those of the Chinese!
"You are not Chinese?"

Xia Tian looked at them.

"Yes! Sir, we are from the world of the heavens... Although we are not from China, we are also from the Qianxia Dynasty... This treasure was actually obtained by us by accident and hidden away..."

"Now, knowing that Your Majesty is looking for this item, I specially brought it to you to thank Your Majesty for saving my life."

An old man who was in the lead said this while holding a box in his hand. After opening it, a bronze key with mysterious runes on it was revealed!
【Bronze Key (Jade White)】

[Type] Strange object

[Features] Unlock (can open a channel anywhere), Blue Dragon Seven Stars (contains the power of Blue Dragon Seven Stars)

[Description] A special and strange object. Legend has it that it contains the secret that leads to a "holy land" for the human race!

“It really is… a lot of effort!”

Xia Tian's eyes fell on the bronze key.

This thing is indeed a treasure.

However, judging from its properties, there are probably more problems.

And in fact, this was the case the moment the box was opened.

The key suddenly glowed.

Then, a huge door suddenly appeared on the square and opened to both sides.

Behind it, there was a huge, vast, and overwhelming aura. The power that came out from the door alone made the entire Baiyu Kyoto tremble slightly!

"ban!"

However, the next moment.

A few words came from Xia Tian's mouth.

An invisible force emerged throughout the Forbidden City, and the power of the stars in the sky washed down, breaking the phantom of the "Gate of the Void" that was opened by the key that was emitting light, and it closed again in an instant!
However, this door is about to close.

Everyone, let go.

Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the portal and rushed towards Xia Tian.

A faint holy aura emanated from his body, and in his hands he held two daggers, one black and one white. The moment the swords were revealed, it felt like a wolf howling in a haunted house.

Under the reflection of the sword light, the entire Forbidden City was divided into black and white, as if this sword was about to cut the entire "Forbidden City" in half!
"who!"

"Oh no, there's an assassin."

The guards around them all looked unhappy and rushed forward with their weapons drawn.

"No need to panic!"

The next moment, Xia Tian's voice was heard.

I have to say, this attack was extremely powerful.

Its power is enough to kill even saints.

It can be said that no matter who is in his place, even Zhao Yun who possesses the "Power of Dragon Gallbladder", it would be difficult to bear it!
This is because, for a saint, just raising his hands and moving his feet can release "supernatural powers", and the power is enough to break the "supernatural powers" of creatures that have not advanced to the saint realm.

Even if one possesses a divine weapon, one cannot completely isolate oneself!
Just like the Great Wall of the human race before, it was unable to completely block the power of the powerful saints.

However, Xia Tian's voice was very calm.

hum!
It was only because the "Imperial Crown" on his body emitted a magnificent light at this moment, and the "emblems" on his body all glowed at this moment, and actually transformed from a flat surface into a solid form!
The emperor's crown and robes are black and yellow, with twelve emblems on them.

Among them, six chapters of sun, moon, stars, mountain, dragon and Hua insect are woven into clothes, and six chapters of Zong Yi, algae, fire, powdered rice, Fu and Fu are embroidered on skirts!
Now, facing "assassination".

These were originally just patterns for "articles".

Surprisingly, one by one, they turned from virtual to real and appeared around Xia Tian.

It wraps up the entire summer, as if forming a special "barrier" around it.

One flower one world, one leaf one bodhi.

Indulge in the attack of a dagger, they were shattered one after another, but they were constantly generated, making this the "sword edge" of this shocking blow.

In the end, it stopped an inch away from him and could no longer move forward even a bit!
"how is this possible?"

A sound of shock and anger came from the assassin's mouth.

The imperial robe worn by this human emperor looked nothing special except for its exquisite shape.

However, the attack that he was proud of and had prepared for a long time was completely blocked by this imperial robe, and the clothes were not even cut!
"I see. Is this the meaning of the so-called 'hexagram'? It really is coming for me!"

There was a thoughtful look on Xia Tian's face.

Faced with this figure who suddenly appeared in his palace and exuded the aura of a "saint", there was not much surprise on his face, nor any fear!
"The alien race still likes to 'assassinate the king' so much! But, I'm afraid this calculation is wrong."

next moment.

In the Chaotian Palace, there was a sudden clanging sound of swords.

On the nine-level steps shrouded in clouds and mist, the Sword Throne collapsed in an instant, scattering into thousands of spiritual-level swords, emitting tremendous spiritual power.

It was like a black cloud rising from the top of the hall and sweeping over!

Clang, Clang, Clang...

In the air, it suddenly transformed into a "black dragon" emitting the aura of saintliness, giving off a panic-stricken pressure, and rushed straight towards the assassin. The latter's aura suddenly changed and he tried to dodge.

But he suddenly felt that in the entire "Forbidden City", the sky and the earth seemed to become extremely sticky under the starlight, and his body was imprisoned by an invisible force!
"Draw the ground as a prison!"

A tall human figure wearing a Qilin costume appeared, and chains with a breath of fire emerged in the surrounding void, blocking all his retreat routes!

Then, I watched helplessly as a "black dragon" made up of countless swords and knives descended from the sky and swallowed up the body of the creature that exuded the aura of a saint! (End of this chapter)
