I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 311 The Eighth Realm Contractor! The Seventh Realm Doing Hard Labor! Zhonghang Gu Ascends to Immortality!
Without real evidence as a basis, all guesses are just guesses.

Now even Han Shao himself is only at the seventh level of True Immortal, and he has only just laid the foundation for the inner world.

Thinking about mass-producing the eighth-level celestial beings now is indeed a bit too far-fetched.

But what if you have to settle for the second best?
For example, the Seven Realms True Immortal?
He broke through the realm and became an immortal, leaving his name in the way of heaven, and from then on he was extraordinary and out of this world.

And since they all leave their names, can the Heavenly Book be used to replace the Way of Heaven?
Han Shao thought about it for a moment and then decided that it was worth a try.

After all, Han Shao had seen the pseudo-immortal before.

Although at present, Han Shao still doesn't know how the dragon clan did it, but this is enough to prove that if one wants to become an immortal, leaving a name in the way of heaven is not the only way.

Thinking of this, Han Shao let out a breath and suppressed the urge in his heart to verify it.

He then turned his gaze to the golden little man beside him, Yun Zhongzi.

Honestly speaking, he couldn't understand why this guy, who only had this little bit of his true nature left in the world, was still so obsessed with staying in this world.

"Is it so good to be alive?"

If he were in their shoes, and if he were reduced to a situation where he had no freedom and could only beg for his life, he would rather die.

Seeing Han Shao's expression suddenly relax, Yun Zhongzi's fear was instantly reduced.

After a brief silence, Yun Zhongzi replied.

"It's not that living is good, but dying is unbearable."

Reluctance is nothing but the result of obsession.

But as far as Han Shao knew, Yun Zhongzi's true spirit had been lingering in this human world for nearly a thousand years.

How strong must the obsession be that it would remain unsolved and last for a thousand years?
What's more, as this guy is the founder of the Beigu Sect, even if there are regrets that cannot be realized during his lifetime, his disciples and grandchildren will surely be happy to fulfill the founder's last wish.

Facing Han Shao's puzzled look, Yun Zhongzi sighed.

I want to sigh, 'You are still young, you don't understand,' but I am afraid of being beaten or even being crushed to death.

Finally, I had to change the way I said it.

"You are in the mortal world, seeking wealth and power. Although you practice cultivation, you are not like us who seek the Tao."

“So it’s normal not to know, not to understand, and not to comprehend.”

This "Tao" is not the "Tao" of Taoism.

But it is the great path that monks seek.

A higher realm, a wider world, a longer lifespan...

Compared with these things, the wealth, power and status of the human empire are not worth mentioning in their eyes.

What they admire and yearn for is the freedom and longevity of the immortals in ancient times.

Instead of being like it is now, although the Seventh Realm True Immortals are called immortals, their lifespan is only a ridiculous eight hundred years.

Even those as strong as the eighth-level celestial being and the ninth-level peak will eventually come to an end.

Han Shao looked strange as he listened to Yun Zhongzi describing the glorious days of the ancient cultivators with a look of longing on his face.

"Have you ever thought that... the so-called ancient times were not so beautiful?"

Yun Zhongzi couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this.

Obviously he did not agree with Han Shao's assumption.

Even if Han Shao didn't hold his life in his hands, he would probably have been furious and tried hard to argue with Han Shao.

But even so, he couldn't help but whispered.

"Could it be that... Daoist friend has seen it?"

Han Shao had indeed seen it.

If the scene of the Heavenly Palace that Han Shao saw when he met the god at Tianmen was real.

If nothing unexpected happens, the ancient times that Yun Zhongzi longed for were not only not beautiful, but extremely cruel.

There were always big demons causing chaos and alarming the heavenly court.

It even requires the Supreme Being of Heaven and Earth, who looks down upon the world, to personally issue an order to attack.

In addition, there are also many demons that eat people and strange beasts that wreak havoc.

As for the Dragon-Slaying Platform for slaying dragons and the Immortal-Slaying Platform for slaying immortals, Han Shao at the time may have thought them to be very domineering and awe-inspiring.

But with the change in his current status and vision, what Han Shao can produce is different.

It was a turbulent and chaotic world!

Demons, dragons, and even immortals and gods are showing signs of instability.

That is why bloody and cruel means are needed to suppress and cleanse the people.

However, Han Shao was too lazy to tell Yun Zhongzi this.

People are like this. When they see a mountain, they always unconsciously imagine the beautiful scenery on the other side of the mountain.

You have to wait until you climb over the mountain and look back before you realize that the scenery on this side of the mountain is actually better.

This has nothing to do with cultivation, it only has to do with vision and knowledge.

There are some things that you can only understand if you see them with your own eyes.

Know how naive some of your past ideas were.

Okay, that’s enough chit-chat.

Now it's time to discuss the real issues.

Han Shao glanced at Yun Zhongzi calmly and asked.

"Give me a reason to let you live."

Sure enough, after these words were spoken, Yun Zhongzi no longer cared about anything else.

His expression, which had just relaxed a little, fell again and he sighed sadly.

"I have no grudge against you, so why do you want to take my life?"

How come there is no hatred?

"The Beigu Sect has committed a heinous crime. As the founder of the Beigu Sect, you are naturally implicated."

Faced with Han Shao's unreasonable arguments, Yun Zhongzi was furious, but he had no way to refute it.

He was the founder of the Beigu Sect. Although he had died long ago, this cause and effect could not be solved.

"That furnace and that secret realm weren't enough to offset the guilt of being implicated?"

Han Shao thought for a moment after hearing this, and actually nodded.

"That's enough."

Yun Zhongzi, who heard this, had no time to be happy before he heard Han Shao continue.

"But although your old sin has been forgiven, you have committed a new sin. What are you going to use to pay for it?"

New crime?

Yun Zhongzi carefully recalled the feud between him and that murderous Han Shao.

But after thinking about it, I am still confused.

"May I ask, fellow Taoist, what crime have I committed?"

Han Shao looked serious.

"you know too much."

This unprecedented crime seemed to have stunned Yun Zhongzi.

What does it mean when you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext?
What does it mean that if an official says you are guilty, then you are guilty?
Yun Zhongzi, who has been a free-spirited wanderer all his life, now finally has some experience.

But he finally understood it.

From the beginning to the end, Han Shao, the murderous embryo, never thought of letting him go.

The only thing he could do now was to prove the value of his existence to Han Shao.

Otherwise, my life will be over!

He doesn't want to die yet. Even if he can only use a little of his true spirit to endure, he will wait until the glorious era comparable to the ancient times comes again!
After thinking hard for a while, Yun Zhongzi's eyes finally lit up when he caught a glimpse of the four "gates" below that defined the boundaries of the inner world.

"I can help you practice!"

Han Shao was stunned when he heard this.

To be honest, he originally thought that Yun Zhongzi had lived long enough and must know a lot.

I want to scare him and squeeze some money out of him.

There is no point in waiting, it won’t be too late to feed the Golden Crow later.

But I didn't expect that Old Deng seemed to want to give me a surprise.

Glancing at him with interest, Han Shao said.

"Tell me."

Yun Zhongzi said hurriedly.

"I have observed your inner world. Do you think you want to replicate this heavenly palace?"

In fact, Yun Zhongzi did not think deeply about Han Shao's "identity", he just thought he was a lucky man who was fortunate enough to obtain the Heavenly Book.

This can be seen from the fact that he always calls Han Shao "fellow Taoist".

So when he saw the four heavenly gates in Han Shao's inner world that were exactly the same as those in the scroll, he only sighed in his heart at Han Shao's madness and audacity, and did not think too much about it.

But now it can be used to buy a chance to survive.

Han Shao nodded.

"So what?"

Yun Zhongzi said quickly.

"Then I can help you a little!"

He said this as if to prove himself.

Yun Zhongzi raised his middle finger and the swirling clouds that covered the void below suddenly surged.

Soon, behind one of the sky gates, a jade road extending inward appeared out of thin air.

What he didn't expect was that his performance made Han Shao's face gloomy.

"You used the law?"

Yun Zhongzi said hesitantly.

"It wasn't possible before, but it is now possible after leaving your name in the Heavenly Book."

After the death of the upper three realms, they are removed from the Heavenly Dao, so naturally they can no longer use the authority of heaven and earth, nor can they display the great power of the past.

But just after Han Shao wrote his name in the Heavenly Book, Yun Zhongzi inexplicably regained some of his former methods.

At least that's the case in Han Shao's inner world.

As for why this happened, Yun Zhongzi couldn't figure out the internal logic for a moment, but for Han Shao, it undoubtedly confirmed some of his guesses.

Then his expression finally gradually eased.

Of course, the most crucial thing is that Yun Zhongzi's life is in his hands. Life or death depends on his decision. He is not afraid of Yun Zhongzi's mischief.

What really surprised him was the jade road that extended inward from one of the heavenly gates, which was not only a seamless whole.

It was even identical to the picture of the heavenly palace depicted in that book. Yun Zhongzi sneered.

"I was trapped in the Heavenly Book before, and had nothing to do all day long, so I could only wander around."

"So I know what this Heavenly Palace is like, even if I don't need to explain it clearly in my mind, I have some understanding of it."

In fact, he was being modest.

During the time he was imprisoned in the 'Heavenly Palace', he visited almost all the places he could visit, except for the most central Lingxiao Palace.

What majestic and sacred palaces.

What kind of blessed place is the residence of the heavenly officials and generals?

What is the layout of the offices of various departments and ministries?

He had even seen from afar the Immortal Execution Platform with its murderous aura rising to the sky.

Therefore, Yun Zhongzi is confident that no one in this world understands the Heavenly Palace better than him!
Even Han Shao was impressed by his confidence.

It would be a real pity if such excellent laborers, oxen and horses were not utilized.

So he decided to give Yun Zhongzi a chance.

Anyway, he had just tried it. He could restore the jade bricks "laid" by Yun Zhongzi to their original state with just a thought.

In this way, even if any problems are found later, we can start over.

But once it is really feasible, it can save a lot of time.

This is to avoid being stuck in the seventh realm for too long because the speed of the inner world's "construction" cannot keep up.

At this time, Yun Zhongzi patted his chest and made a promise.

"Fellow Taoist, don't worry!"

"When I was alive, I entered the Dao through Dharma-Appearance. After all, I have reached the eighth level of the Dao. I am familiar with this matter!"

indeed.

All the cultivators who can enter and achieve harmony with the Tao through the Dharmakāya and Dharmakāya are people with extraordinary talents.

Yun Zhongzi is the best among them.

If he had not been so unlucky back then, he might have already reached the peak of the ninth realm.

Seeing that Han Shao's expression relaxed, he agreed.

Yun Zhongzi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, if he really has to be sure, he has no confidence.

The reason why he made such a promise was that he just wanted to postpone it for as long as possible.

After all, the ancient heavenly palace described in that book was so glorious and magnificent, how could it be "built" in such a short period of time?

By then, this guy will die one day, or his life will end.

Maybe I can take this opportunity to escape from this predicament?

Yun Zhongzi had beautiful thoughts in his mind.

Then he pointed at the heavenly book and became more demanding.

"How about you... release those people for the time being and let me help you?"

Now that he was prepared to fight a protracted war with Han Shao, the killer, it would be too hard to be alone.

It would be great to have a few people around, even if it's just to talk.

Han Shao stared at Yun Zhongzi for a while.

This is a coolie, a beast of burden, and he wants to be promoted to a contractor and a labor scab?
"Are you sure they are up to the task?"

Yun Zhongzi patted his chest and made another assurance.

"With my guidance, I can do it!"

Han Shao, who vaguely guessed what the old man was thinking, sneered in his heart but didn't say much.

With a wave of his hand, he released all the true spirits imprisoned in the book.

Those real spirits who did not die at Han Shao's hands looked terrified and did not dare to say anything.

However, Gongsun Xian and Zheng Fan glared at Han Shao as soon as they came out.

They just thought that Han Shao had imprisoned their true spirits through some evil method.

As expected, Yun Zhongzi, who had always been servile in front of Han Shao, soon made them both feel the pain that penetrated deep into their souls.

In response to this, Han Shao looked at Yun Zhongzi with great satisfaction.

"Then they'll be in your hands."

Yun Zhongzi was servile and submissive.

"Don't worry, I'm here!"

Han Shao smiled faintly.

"Relax? I hope so."

After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at the only woman among these true spirits.

After being released from her restraints, the woman returned to her normal appearance and was indeed quite pretty.

Han Shao stretched out his finger and gently lifted her chin, looked at her carefully for a while, and then put it down.

Then he said to Yun Zhongzi.

"Go ask her about the situation of the mermaids in the South China Sea."

Some things are better to be prepared for.

It's always good to know in advance.

……

Return from the inner world in a moment.

The void in the study room imprisoned by the power of Han Shaozhenxian did not change at all.

With a wave of his hand, a [Blood Recovery Pill] that had not been used for a long time flew into Zhong Xinggu's mouth.

Looking at Zhong Xinggu's soul, which was almost broken, it healed and became whole at a speed visible to the naked eye.

'This is a really unreasonable god!'

Even now, Han Shao, who has already reached the seventh level of True Immortal, is still unable to understand and analyze the principles of the red and blue pills.

It’s a pity that the more it is used, the less it is, and there is almost nothing left.

Originally, because the system already had a built-in recipe for the pill, Han Shao thought that every soldier could at least have one.

But in the end he found that he was overthinking.

Not only are the several medicinal ingredients in the pill recipe extremely precious, but the refining time is also extremely long.

We definitely can't count on it in the short term.

Han Shao sighed with regret in his heart.

After all, for a player who is used to using cheats, once the cheats are gone, the game will inevitably become boring.

He spread out his sleeves, releasing the restraints.

Han Shao looked down at Zhong Xinggu, who looked stunned, and said in a cold voice.

"You owe me another life."

Zhong Xinggu, who finally realized what had happened, looked ashamed.

Originally, he just wanted to die to prove his loyalty to the Marquis, but he didn't expect that the Marquis would lose another magical medicine because of it.

"My Lord, my life is worthless..."

Han Shao snorted coldly and waved his sleeves to interrupt the guy.

"Whether it's worth it or not is up to you to decide."

"Only what I say counts."

As he spoke, Han Shao sneered.

"But you have become more courageous."

"I didn't explicitly ask you to die, yet you dared to do it anyway."

Zhonghang Gu knelt on the ground and cried.

"The old slave is terrified."

Afraid?

How can a person who is not afraid of death talk about being afraid?

Han Shao tapped the table lightly, then paused.

The decision, which had not yet been finalized, has now been made.

"Zhou Xuan, go down first."

Perhaps because he was frightened by Han Shao's anger just now, Zhou Xuan's voice was a little dry.

"Here."

After Zhou Xuan's figure disappeared in the study, Han Shao stared at Zhong Xinggu who was kneeling on the ground, and said quietly after a moment.

"You have now achieved the perfection of the Dharma, right?"

It was the Chen family of Zhuo County who destroyed the Yuyang Zheng family, a noble family.

But the benefits went to the Six Gates who were responsible for supervising the battle.

The Six Gates today are no longer what they used to be in terms of the number of powerful people.

Even compared with Li Wenjing's Xiezhi Guard, it is not inferior.

As the admiral of the Six Gates, Zhong Xinggu was naturally the biggest beneficiary.

Hearing Han Shao's question, Zhonghang Gu kowtowed quickly.

"Yes, sir."

Exactly?

Do you know how much loss I would suffer if you died?
Han Shao was furious when he thought that this guy was willing to commit suicide just because of a few words he said.

The voice also gradually became colder.

"Come with me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Shao moved, and with his vast and boundless immortal power, he brought Zhong Xinggu to a remote place.

After being sealed for four weeks with the power of a true immortal, the heavenly book scroll appeared out of thin air.

Han Shao picked up the pen and wrote the three words "Zhonghang Gu" directly on it.

Then he looked at Zhong Xinggu with indifference.

"Since the practice has been completed, let's break through."
