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

Not only that, Zhao Hongming also sensed some slight changes in his vision.

In the void behind him, a towering mountain silhouette slowly emerged, exuding a thick and majestic aura.

As his cultivation level improved, the phantom objects in the Mountains and Rivers Map became more solid and majestic.

The world of vision has also become broader.

boom!

A sound of Hongmeng bells exploded in his consciousness, shocking Zhao Hongming.

Zhao Hongming hurriedly held his breath and concentrated, immersing his consciousness in the world of visualization.

He saw a vast expanse of heaven and earth, where the white national destiny was floating in the sky like white silk, boundless.

Every strand of the national destiny here is as heavy as a thousand pieces, floating slowly.

Under the national destiny, a majestic and solemn Taoist palace stands in it.

This Taoist palace towers into the clouds and is majestic. Ancient runes are carved on the palace walls, shining with mysterious light and exuding an extraordinary aura.

If you look carefully, you can see a giant sitting cross-legged in this Taoist palace. He is as quiet and motionless as a sculpture, with a faint golden light emitting from his body.

Zhao Hongming recognized that this was the giant's true seal that he had condensed.

There is a majestic aura around the giant, which rolls out together with the sound of Hongmeng in the Tao Palace.

These sounds are distant and profound, and each sound contains some kind of meaning.

After Zhao Hongming heard it, he felt enlightened and enlightened, as if he felt that there were endless mysteries and mysteries that could be understood.

The true seal is the foundation of a cultivator, represents the cultivator's will in martial arts, and is the core of the true meaning.

If you can understand the profound meaning of the true seal, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to your martial arts advancement.

It's a pity that he can't understand the meaning now.

After the sound of Taoism subsided, Zhao Hongming withdrew his consciousness from the world of visualization.

He leisurely opened his eyes and silently circulated his true thoughts.

After breaking through the second level of creation, Zhao Hongming found that his perception of spiritual energy had become more acute.

He could clearly perceive every flow and change of spiritual energy in the void, as if the whole world had become transparent in his perception.

"What a thin spiritual energy."

Zhao Hongming frowned slightly.

He hadn't noticed it before, but now he felt that there was something abnormal about the aura in this world.

I feel disconnected from the world.

The two are clearly distinct, as if they are somehow incompatible.

Zhao Hongming had some difficulty understanding what he meant.

"Now that I have broken through to the second level of Creation, I don't know how much my combat power has improved."

Zhao Hongming's mind moved, and a green light suddenly appeared all over his body, and he suddenly disappeared into the practice room.

In the South Garden of the Imperial Palace, the sun shines through the sparse clouds on the green grass.

A herd of elk is grazing leisurely.

Suddenly, a ray of blue light cut through the sky like lightning and landed silently near the elk.

The elk were frightened by this sudden vision and fled in all directions.

The green light flickered and gradually dissipated, revealing Zhao Hongming's figure.

He did not chase the frightened elk, but slowly raised his head and looked not far away.

I saw the mountains in front of me rolling up and down, like a winding dragon lying between heaven and earth.

Zhao Hongming took a deep breath, and then activated his true intention.

"Let me see how strong I become after my breakthrough."

He waved his hands lightly, and a powerful aura suddenly burst out from his body.

This aura was like a strong wind and huge waves, sweeping across the entire Nanyuan in an instant.

Zhao Hongming moved and turned into a ray of blue light and rushed towards the nearest mountain peak.

He punched out with a loud bang, instantly shattering the entire mountain.

Then he kept flashing and taking action, and the mountain peaks collapsed and shattered under him.

After a while, Zhao Hongming withdrew his offensive and stood in the ruins.

The surrounding peaks have all been flattened, leaving only some fragments of rocks scattered everywhere.

Zhao Hongming stood there, feeling a little disappointed.

Having just broken through to the second level of Creation, he thought that his combat power would undergo an earth-shaking transformation. However, judging from the test results, this was not the case.

Zhao Hongming felt the changes in his body carefully. Indeed, some characteristics became completely different from before.

His body also became more powerful, as if there were dragons and snakes swimming under his skin, full of explosive power.

The vision of mountains and rivers has also changed.

However, other than that, his combat power was the same as before, and he did not feel a qualitative leap due to this.

In the past, when he was in the realms of Tongqiao and Xiantian, his changes would not be so small every time he made a breakthrough.

"Is this the strength of the second grade of creation? It seems that even the longevity has not increased much." Zhao Hongming couldn't help but doubt in his heart.

He knew that he was already standing at the pinnacle of martial arts in this world, so he could more clearly feel the invisible barrier blocking his path to a higher realm.

"The road to martial arts is over..." Zhao Hongming sighed softly: "I didn't expect to feel like this."

You must know that he has the [Tiandao Rewards Diligence] martial arts panel and this is still the case, let alone other martial artists in this world.

Every time they break through a realm, it is extremely difficult.

It’s hard to imagine what kind of efforts they would put in to break through to the realm of creation.

If they want to break through again, the price they will have to pay is unimaginable.

The final result was that neither combat power nor longevity had changed much.

The gap in this gap may directly break the warrior's Taoist heart.

I used to often hear Chen Xuerong mention martial arts breaking, but I still didn't understand what it meant.

Now he somewhat understands it.

Zhao Hongming murmured to himself: "The journey to martial arts seems to be more difficult than I imagined."

He glanced at the [Tiandao Rewards Qin] martial arts panel, which showed the progress of the next breakthrough. The time consumed became longer, and it took a full four years to achieve it.

"This doesn't seem unacceptable to me. My lifespan is more than four hundred years, so I can withstand it."

"If one fails, it will be two; if two fails, it will be a hundred. A gentleman who is strong in the sky will strive for self-improvement, and a gentleman who is weak in the terrain will carry things with kindness. This statement is the only truth."

"God rewards those who work hard, and those who defy heaven change destiny. The martial arts in this world will definitely begin with me."

Zhao Hongming stabilized the Taoist heart and made it firm again.

"In this case, now that the Zhao Kingdom has been destroyed, Qi and Chu cannot stay. I can unify the world as soon as possible and gather the world's resources to help me practice." Zhao Hongming couldn't help but think of the first kings of each country, He suddenly felt something strange, and his right eyelid suddenly started beating.

It seems that the matter of refining the jade seals of other countries can be put aside for a while, and the cultivation level can be improved first after the country is destroyed.

Zhao Hongming stepped forward, leaving behind a string of afterimages, and returned to Qianqing Palace.

There was a solemn atmosphere in the main hall of the Wei Palace.

The golden dragon chair is high up, and Zhao Hongming is sitting on it.

As soon as Zhao Hongming returned to the main hall, he said to Gao Yanshi beside him: "Gao Yanshi, convey my decree and summon the civil and military ministers. I have important matters to discuss with you."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Gao Yanshi bowed to accept the order and then retreated.

After a while, the civil and military ministers came to the main hall one after another, arranged neatly according to their rank, and Shan called out: "I will pay homage to your Majesty."

"I don't know, Your Majesty, is it important to summon the officials at this time?" Li Li stood in front of the officials and took the lead to take the first step and said.

Zhao Hongming glanced at the ministers and said in a deep voice: "I have gathered all my dear friends today to announce a major event. I have decided to send troops to attack Chu and Qi to destroy their countries. The time has come to unify the world! "

Zhao Hongming's words were like a drop of cold water falling into the already scalding hot oil, and the hall suddenly began to boil.

The civil and military ministers looked excited and talked a lot.

Zhao Hongming looked at the reactions of the ministers and was not in a hurry to express his position.

After a while, a military general stood up, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think this move is inappropriate. Chu and Qi are powerful, and sending troops hastily may cause unnecessary trouble."

Zhao Hongming knew that after he killed a batch of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, all those left behind were human spirits. They were always very cunning and would not let go of rabbits.

This person stepped forward to test out Baiguan's attitude and tone, and he was not really unwilling.

Zhao Hongming smiled slightly and said: "What Ai Qing said is not unreasonable, but I have made up my mind. The general trend of the world must be united if it is divided for a long time, and it must be divided if it is united for a long time. How can the Chu and Qi countries stop my millions of troops? What's more, With me here, you have the greatest protection, who among you is in favor and who is against?!"

Some civil servants saw that Zhao Hongming's tone was a bit unkind and hurriedly stood up. Yuanchang said: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and I admire him. But in military matters, you must not be hasty. You must make complete preparations before sending troops. That’s it.”

Zhao Hongming nodded in agreement: "What Aiqing said is true. Pass on my decree and ask all states and counties to step up preparations for war. At the same time, Zhao Guozhong will mobilize grain, grass and baggage to accompany the army. I am telling you, not asking you to give opinions. Retreat from the court! "

Zhao Hongming waved his sleeves fiercely, stepped down from the dragon chair, and left without looking back under the gaze of the civil and military officials in the court.

"I obey the decree!" All the ministers agreed in unison.

In the fifth year of Jianwu, after Wei destroyed Zhao, an army of 600,000 marched eastward and formally attacked Qi.

While Wei was attacking Qi, Chu also formed an alliance with Qi to fight Wei together.

Just when Wei sent an army of 600,000, Chu and Qi also sent an army of 700,000 to fight the Wei army in the wild.

In this battle, Chu and Qi had almost all their elite troops.

All the aristocratic families and martial arts forces in various countries gave their full support.

Even many martial arts forces who were influenced by the Wei State were dissatisfied with Wei's "recruitment" and did not want to succumb to the Wei royal family. Under the banner of anti-Wei, they also joined the Chu and Qi coalition forces, making the Chu-Qi coalition forces unprecedentedly powerful. huge.

On the border between Wei, Chu and Qi, the wilderness was vast, and strong winds rolled up smoke and dust.

On the skyline, black troops surged like a tide.

The 600,000-strong army of Wei State and the 700,000-strong army of the Chu-Qi Alliance faced off on this vast land.

The war drums beat and the sound shook the world. The officers and soldiers of the Wei army were in bright armor, with swords and guns like a forest. Their eyes were firm and their momentum was like a rainbow.

Of the 600,000 Wei troops on this battlefield, more than half were warriors who had gone through the annihilation of Zhao and Han. They were iron-blooded warriors who had been tempered on the battlefield and were bathed in blood.

Not to mention, these armies are all elite soldiers of Wei State who have been systematically trained by Wu Qi.

Their formation was like a mountain, their steps were sonorous, and every step they took was like thunder.

Although the Chu-Qi alliance army was large in number, it seemed a little panicked under the fierce momentum of the Wei army.

"All soldiers!" Wu Qi, the leader of the Wei army, raised his sword high and said with a loud voice like a bell: "Today's battle is related to the future of Wei and the unification of the world! We must use the blood of the enemy to commemorate our glory!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" The officers and soldiers of the Wei army shouted in unison, the sound shook the surrounding areas, and their morale was like a rainbow.

On the battlefield, the Chu army's array seemed a little shaken by the Wei army's thunderous offensive.

The battle has not yet begun, and every time the Wei army advances, it seems that their line will be torn apart.

Although the soldiers of the Chu army were elite men who had experienced hundreds of battles, at this moment, their eyes could not help but reveal panic and fear.

"Steady! Steady!" The general of Chu shouted loudly, trying to stabilize the morale of the army, but his voice seemed so weak among the war drums and shouts of the Wei army.

Upon seeing this, the generals of Qi State were fully aware of the crisis at this moment.

He rode his horse and came to General Chu's side. Their eyes met and they understood each other's intentions instantly.

In order to stabilize the morale of these 700,000 Allied troops, they had to promise heavy profits.

"Listen up!" Qi General Yun was so confident that his voice exploded on the battlefield like thunder: "Everyone, this battle is related to the future destiny of Qi and Chu, and it requires everyone to work together. After the war, I will wait for you. Every meritorious person will be provided with a copy of Immortal Martial Arts, a thousand wish stones and fiefdoms in the two countries!"

These words seemed to have great temptation and spread quickly on the battlefield.

"Hoohoho!"

The Chu soldiers, who were originally a little panicked, had their fighting spirit rekindled in their eyes.

They know that as long as they survive this hurdle, they will have endless glory and wealth in the future, and they can change their own destiny if they give it a try.

Encouraged by the generals of Qi and Chu, the Chu army regained its position.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Amidst the beating of drums, the battle between the two armies officially started and they fought together.

The army of Wei and the allies of Chu and Qi rushed towards each other like a tide.

There are no fancy tricks or tactics, just pure fighting.

The soldiers of the Wei army were brave, fearless and well-trained.

After entering the battlefield, they quickly found their own rhythm, charged into battle, and were invincible.

Although the Chu-Qi alliance army was large in number, they were retreating steadily under the fierce offensive of the Wei army and were no match at all.

On the battlefield, corpses lay everywhere and blood flowed like rivers.

After ten days and ten nights of fighting, the Wei army finally defeated 700,000 Allied troops and captured nearly 400,000 Allied troops.

Seeing that the situation was over, both Chu and Qi committed suicide on the battlefield.

"How to deal with these prisoners?" The deputy general asked Wu Qi for instructions.

Wu Qi's eyes were cold and he said in a deep voice without any hesitation: "Train and kill!"

His words were concise and decisive, revealing a chilling air.

Wu Qi knew that he could not keep these 400,000 prisoners.

They could not be released back, and Wei's successive conquests could not afford such a large number of people.

So there is only one way to kill.

After getting rid of these 400,000 troops, Chu and Qi no longer had any power to fight back, and the unification of Wei was a foregone conclusion. (End of chapter)
