Heaven rewards those who work hard: There is no bottleneck in my martial arts

The tadpole text on the Boundary-Breaking Boat flickers like living beings that are constantly beating.

Zhao Hongming was in the vision of mountains and rivers, with his bright eyes staring at every tadpole word engraved on it.

He stepped forward and gently rubbed the words with his fingers, frowning.

There are some words in it that he can understand, but some are still obscure and difficult to understand, and the meaning has become unclear. It feels like he was doing English reading comprehension in his previous life.

He could only half-guess, and roughly know that what was described here was about the gap in space and entering the Eternal Sky.

Time passed little by little, I don’t know how long it took.

Zhao Hongming sighed helplessly.

He knew that his current knowledge was not enough to decipher the contents.

"It seems that we can only ask Xuerong to help."

Chen Xuerong has profound skills in martial arts, especially in classical classics.

These words were inherited before the collapse of Heavenly Dao, and she had been studying them for a long time. It was not difficult to decipher them.

In addition, the two of them are very close, and Zhao Hongming also knows her depth, so it doesn't hurt to tell her such a thing.

After writing down all the words on the cracked boat, Zhao Hongming took a deep breath, waved his palm lightly, and hit the cracked boat with a series of true meaning spells.

The three-foot-long boundary-breaking boat slowly shrank under the control of his thoughts, and finally turned into a ray of light, quietly disappearing into his sleeve.

Zhao Hongming walked out of the vision of mountains and rivers, and the vision of mountains and rivers behind him turned into streams of blue light and dissipated invisible.

He pushed open the door of the practice room, and Gao Yanshi waited respectfully at the door.

Zhao Hongming ordered: "Go to Yaohua Palace."

"As ordered!"

After Gao Yanshi finished speaking, he called his men and quickly arranged the emperor's ceremony.

Surrounded by a crowd of servants, Zhao Hongming walked towards the Yaohua Palace in a swaggering manner.

In Yaohua Palace.

It was the afternoon, and Chen Xuerong was practicing in the small courtyard. She was sitting cross-legged on the futon like a static sculpture.

The aura around his body is restrained, without any leakage, and his cultivation has also improved.

Her eyes were closed tightly, her brows were slightly furrowed, and as she breathed, a faint amount of Qi flowed through her meridians, like a gurgling stream, long and distant.

Beside her, the young Zhao Yinche rarely became quiet.

He seemed to be standing next to Chen Xuerong, guarding his surroundings from time to time, as if he was protecting Chen Xuerong.

At this moment, the maid walked quietly into Chen Xuerong's training backyard.

When they saw Chen Xuerong practicing meditation, they bowed their heads respectfully and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is here."

When speaking, her voice was slightly nervous, and she tried hard to maintain proper etiquette, for fear of disturbing Chen Xuerong, who was practicing in seclusion.

After hearing the maid's warning, Chen Xuerong opened his eyes leisurely and exhaled a breath.

"I know."

Seeing that Chen Xuerong had no intention of blaming her, the maid was relieved, and after giving her a blessing, she silently withdrew.

"Che'er, you should go to the study to do your homework first. Your father came to me at this time, maybe there are other important things." Chen Xuerong stood up and turned to Zhao Yinche and said.

Zhao Yinche's face was a little unhappy, he pouted slightly, and said reluctantly: "I know."

Looking at the unhappy Zhao Yinche, Chen Xuerong shook his head helplessly and sighed.

After Zhao Yinche left, Chen Xuerong tidied up his appearance and walked out of the small courtyard.

Before she walked a few steps, she saw Zhao Hongming walking towards her.

Chen Xuerong was stunned for a moment, hurriedly took two steps back, and bowed respectfully: "I have met your Majesty."

"Get up." Zhao Hongming stepped forward, grabbed Chen Xuerong's catkins, and pulled her to the stone table: "Sit down, Concubine Rong."

Chen Xuerong straightened her clothes and sat on the stone bench, and asked curiously: "I don't know, is your Majesty looking for my concubine for something?"

Zhao Hongming looked up at Gao Yanshi and others.

Gao Yanshi reacted immediately like a roundworm in Zhao Hongming's stomach.

Without using Zhao Hongming's famous words, he retreated silently with his men.

Zhao Hongming waved his hand casually.

The air in front of him seemed to be faintly fluctuating, as if a layer of invisible power was slowly condensing and activating.

This was the isolation formation he had carefully laid out. A mysterious force quietly spread out and enveloped the entire courtyard.

After the formation was fully activated, Zhao Hongming nodded with satisfaction.

This isolation formation was made by his own hands. Unless someone with a cultivation level much higher than him, they would never be able to spy on the slightest movement within the formation.

Chen Xuerong couldn't help but feel curious when she saw Zhao Hongming setting up the formation so solemnly.

She knew that Zhao Hongming was a cautious person, but there was obviously an unusual reason for his behavior tonight.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing?" Chen Xuerong couldn't help but ask.

Her voice is clear and sweet, like pearls falling from a jade plate.

Zhao Hongming turned around, with a solemn look on his face: "What I want to tell you is quite important. In order to ensure that its content is not leaked, I have laid out a pattern formation to prevent the walls from having ears."

Chen Xuerong raised her eyebrows lightly when she heard this.

She has known Zhao Hongming for a long time and knows that he is not a person who likes to be mysterious.

Chen Xuerong looked around, but did not find anything unusual. He was even more curious about what Zhao Hongming said was "no small matter."

She suppressed the curiosity in her heart, nodded and said: "Since His Majesty is so cautious, why not go to the house to discuss it in detail?"

"No need." Zhao Hongming said slowly: "The formation I have set is enough."

He waved his hand gently, and the air in the secret room suddenly rippled. To outsiders, the two of them completely disappeared in the courtyard.

Chen Xuerong had already made arrangements and asked, "I wonder what your majesty wants to say to my concubine?"

"What I want to say is related to eternal life!" Zhao Hongming said seriously.

As soon as these words came out, Chen Xuerong's eyes subconsciously moved slightly, and a strange look appeared.

In front of her, Zhao Hongming slowly raised his hands, as if he was guiding some invisible force, and the surrounding air trembled slightly.

Suddenly, Zhao Hongming suddenly clasped his hands together, and then quickly separated them, with his palms facing upward, as if he was holding up an invisible object.

Immediately afterwards, he shouted in his mouth, and saw a dazzling light spurting out from his palm, gradually condensing into a three-foot-long bronze boat.

A faint light flows throughout the body of the Boundary-Breaking Boat, and complex and ancient runes are carved on the boat. These runes are constantly beating under the light, releasing waves of fluctuations.

With Zhao Hongming's control, the boundary-breaking boat floated quietly in front of the two people.

Chen Xuerong witnessed all this, her beautiful eyes were as wide as bells, and her heart was filled with shock.

She could feel the powerful aura emanating from the bronze boat. The process shown by Zhao Hongming was the same as the rumored method of refining magic weapons.

"Your Majesty, what is this?"

"The thing I seized from the Sword-casting Villa is called the Boundary-Breaking Boat." Zhao Hongming did not hide anything and told Chen Xuerong about the Sword-casting Villa and Zuo Jian's way of worshiping gods.

Seeing Zhao Hongming "telling the truth" like this, Chen Xuerong suddenly felt a little moved in his heart.

She put away her thoughts and focused on the boundary-breaking boat.

The Boundary-Breaking Boat, as the name suggests, is a space magic weapon that separates this place from the Eternal Sky.

No wonder Zhao Hongming takes things so seriously.

Zhao Hongming said: "I know that Concubine Rong, you have always been knowledgeable and knowledgeable about ancient characters, so I came to ask you for help to decipher the tadpole inscriptions engraved on it for me."

Chen Xuerong's face became solemn: "Your Majesty, give me some time, I will study hard."

"it is good."

Chen Xuerong approached the Boundary-Breaking Boat and stared at the tadpole text on it, interpreting it bit by bit.

After a while, she read all the words engraved on it.

"Your Majesty, these words... seem to be an ancient sacrificial method." Chen Xuerong's voice was trembling, and she seemed to be shocked by the information contained in these words.

Zhao Hongming nodded: "I have also noticed it, but some of the details are elusive."

"Your Majesty, please take a look here."

Chen Xuerong pointed to a text on the boat and said: "Here is recorded an ancient ritual called "Blood Sacrifice to Worship Gods." It is a method of worshiping gods through blood sacrifices. It is a secret method in ancient times. It is said that it can Communicate with the gods and gain supreme power.”

After hearing this, Zhao Hongming didn't have much surprise on his face.

The fear Chen Xuerong mentioned is the method of worshiping gods.

The so-called method of worshiping gods in Zhujian Villa is probably derived from this.

"In addition, this ritual also mentions a method of refining blood pills."

Zhao Hongming said doubtfully: "So, this world-breaking boat is not only a treasure that can travel through the void, but also a treasure book containing ancient secrets."

Chen Xuerong nodded in agreement: "That's right, Your Majesty. It's just that this method of worshiping gods through blood sacrifice seems to be quite dangerous and somewhat contrary to human nature."

Zhao Hongming then asked: "Then the tadpole text engraved on it contains some content about traveling between the two worlds?"

"Yes!" Chen Xuerong said with certainty: "If you want to enter the Immortal Heaven, it has to do with this special ceremony."

"Huh? What does it matter?"

"This ancient secret method not only details how to use blood as a medium to condense the blood elixir, but also reveals an important message. The power of the will of all living beings contained in the blood elixir can resist the dangers in the gaps in space."

Chen Xuerong continued: "The tadpole text engraved on it mentioned that the seam of space is a mysterious passage connecting different interfaces, and it is also a shortcut to the Changsheng Heaven. However, it is vast and boundless, and the space passage is extremely unstable. If you are not careful, you will get lost in it. In the boundless void.”

"We must use the will of all living beings to anchor the position and strengthen the channel. Otherwise, it is wishful thinking to reach the Immortal Heaven through this world-breaking boat."

Zhao Hongming was in a trance when he heard this.

It turns out that sacrificing blood pills and gathering the will power of all living beings is actually an effective way to enter the Immortal Heaven through the gap in space.

No wonder Zuo Jian of Zhujian Villa is willing to spend such a huge price to condense the blood elixir.

This made him feel an indescribable excitement, but what followed was deep suspicion.

"As long as there is a blood elixir to condense the will power of all living beings, is it enough?"

"According to the above description, using this method, there is almost a 70% success rate. In addition, the content of the record also mentioned that if this method is used, the will power will not be consumed after breaking the boundary. If it is exhausted, the user will be polluted by the power of the wish, and become inhuman, ghost, and ghost, and the hidden dangers are also great."

Blood sacrifice means that the blood of countless creatures must be condensed into blood pills at the cost.

Such a method is too terrible and cruel.

If that's the case, forget it. The key is to use the power of will to have such big sequelae.

"Do you really have to pay such a price in order to reach the Heaven of Immortality?" Zhao Hongming murmured to himself, his heart filled with emotion: "Sure enough, the world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs."

Chen Xuerong stood quietly behind him. She did not disturb Zhao Hongming's contemplation, but just accompanied him silently.

Time seemed to have frozen at this moment, and the only sound left in the small courtyard was Zhao Hongming's even breathing.

"Concubine Rong, I already know about this." Zhao Hongming sighed and said: "Since we have to use such a terrible method as blood sacrifice, I'm afraid it will only make up for the loss. I didn't expect that the longevity I wanted in the end would be like this. .”

"Then Your Majesty..."

"This matter involves a lot. It has advantages, but there are also many disadvantages. I have to think about it carefully."

"I understand."

"Ah."

Zhao Hongming raised his hand and was about to untie the isolation formation.

"Your Majesty." Chen Xuerong suddenly grabbed his arm.

"what happened?"

Chen Xuerong suddenly bit her lip and said with piercing eyes: "Your Majesty, is it true that you can't see or hear anything here outside?"

"It's natural."

Chen Xuerong didn't say anything after hearing this, but looked at Zhao Hongming affectionately.

Zhao Hongming is not a piece of wood, so he naturally understands.

He stepped forward, picked up Chen Xuerong, placed him on the stone table, and started acting recklessly.

After a while, the stone table began to move in one direction inch by inch.

Two years later.

The night is dark, and the lights of Daliang City are swaying in the cold wind.

In the Wei Palace, Zhao Hongming sat on the dragon chair, his eyes deep and cold.

After capturing the secrets of Qi's Xuantian Mansion, Wei's treasury was unusually full.

Therefore, Zhao Hongming launched an army of 500,000 troops to attack Zhao State.

After two years of continuous fighting, Wei's 500,000-strong army poured into Zhao like a torrent.

The Zhao State, which had lost its powerful combat forces such as Pang She, Li Mu, and Haoran Sect Master, was simply unable to resist the Wei State in this war.

Zhao's cities fell one after another.

The whole Zhao State and martial arts forces all participated, but they still could not reverse the situation of the war.

A month ago, the capital of Zhao State finally fell under the fierce attack of Wei State. Emperor Chengxiang, King of Zhao, led his people to surrender to Wei.

At this moment, King Zhao was imprisoned in a remote palace outside the palace, facing King Han from a distance.

Around the palace, Wei soldiers were closely guarding to ensure that they could not escape.

Their former majesty is gone.

"Your Majesty, King Zhao and King Han are already waiting outside the palace." A guard bowed and reported to Zhao Hongming.

Zhao Hongming nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Let King Zhao come in first."

After a while, King Zhao walked into the hall under the watchful eyes of the guards. (End of chapter)
