Taoist Master wants to live forever

Chapter 550 Extracting the Essence
He then announced to the world that he had established a dynasty and a country, named it Great Xia, and offered sacrifices to the nine heavens above and the thick earth below. When he sat on the throne, he was greeted with "Long Live the Emperor!"

Wen Lianggong's body shook slightly, and the next second, an indescribable aura, unknown how high and deep it was, suddenly came over his body, making his whole body relaxed and filled with infinite comfort.

This is the favor of heaven in this world!
Wen Lianggong's eyes flickered slightly, and he felt delighted.

It turned out that this was the right path to take, but it was not enough. Although these favors from Heaven were enough to activate his true body to extract the essence of Heaven, it was still lacking something and he could go one step further.

Wen Lianggong pondered in his heart whether he should continue to expand the territory and become the common ruler of the world, or whether he should regulate the people's livelihood and make the people admire and love him, so that everyone can be united, worship him, and have more pious hearts, bless himself with pure spiritual power, and receive more favors from heaven.

You need to prepare for both situations.

Today, the entire Daxia is in a state of disrepair. If one wants to expand the territory, it needs to recuperate for several years before it can have the strength to fight.

The surrounding Wei and Chu countries had put a lot of obstacles in the way when Song Dynasty was attacking Song Dynasty. If Song Dynasty had not deployed its border troops to keep Wei and Chu at bay, the two countries would not have dared to act rashly.

I'm afraid it will take another one or two years to recover.

While thinking, Wen Lianggong lowered his gaze and looked at the two border army marshals, Chen Chang and Li Duzhi, who had bowed to him.

During the campaigns, he had fought with border troops. He wore armor and carried a spear, which frightened the enemy. He was also afraid that Wei and Chu would suddenly send troops to attack, so he remained neutral and became a vassal of whoever became king.

"Generals, drink these two glasses of wine, give up your military power, and I will keep you safe."

When Chen Chang and Li Duzhi heard Wen Lianggong's calm words, their faces changed slightly. They never thought that Wen Lianggong would not hide anything at all and told them so bluntly to give up their military power.

But then he thought of Wen Lianggong's superb martial arts, how he led three hundred elite armored soldiers in a spearhead formation on the battlefield and almost broke the army into pieces.

When Chen Chang was about to open his mouth to try again, Wen Lianggong spoke first with a calm expression.

"You two, I don't have time to beat around the bush. If you don't want to, I will immediately raise an army and personally lead the expedition. By then, there won't be such good conditions."

Chen Chang opened his mouth silently, and finally sighed secretly. He didn't know where this strong man came from. His strength was so abnormal that it was beyond description.

However, at the age of twenty, his kung fu skills have reached perfection.

During these few years, Wen Lianggong swept through the territory of the Song Dynasty, cut down aristocratic families, cut down mountains and destroyed temples, which attracted many masters to assassinate or rob him.

But no one returned.

At this point, the entire Song...the aristocratic families in Daxia were completely killed by Wen Lianggong, leaving only a few distantly related side branches left.

This was because these side branches had fallen into the status of civilians and had never committed any crime in their lives, so they were let go.

Chen Chang cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I was planning to retire and return home, and was worried about how to hand over the army. Now that Your Majesty has mentioned it, it will fulfill my wish."

Old fox!
Li Duzhi, who was standing by, cursed inwardly, but did not dare to be negligent and also announced that he would retire and return home.

It's fine to be gentle, kind and respectful. When the border troops change their defenses and disrupt their organization, it will only take two or three months to consume them.

After Li Duzhi said this, he felt inexplicably relieved. In recent years, the Song Dynasty's national strength has been declining, and the central government has been corrupt and controlled by aristocratic families. The treasury is empty, and it is a complete pipe dream to provide food and wages to the border troops. Most of the time, the border troops have to find ways to raise food and wages themselves, which can be said to have exhausted the brains of these two people.

The man before us has kept all his promises since he started the rebellion, and has never been short of food and wages. He has money and food, three meals a day, and training every day. This is how he has built an invincible and unstoppable army.

Three years later, Li Duzhi, wearing armor, looked at the border of Da Chu in front of him and couldn't help patting his breastplate.

"Damn, I don't know how this armor was made. It's half as light as the previous one, but the texture is much tougher. It's really rare."

He looked up at the Chu Dynasty border in front of him, suddenly drew out his sword, and raised his arm high.

"My men, expand our territory, build our careers, and now is the time to kill!"

Two years later, the Chu State was destroyed during the period of alliances and coalitions. Xia and Wei each occupied a similar territory to the Chu State, and decided to divide the country by a large river running east-west through the Chu State.

In the winter of the same year, Wen Lianggong unilaterally tore up the agreement and led the army in person. In just one year, he reached the capital of the Wei Dynasty, Datong.

When the Wei Dynasty emperor was beheaded, Wen Lianggong, who was wearing golden armor, had a slightly changed expression and looked up at the sky.

After conquering the Wei Dynasty and beheading the Wei Emperor, the favor of heaven reached an unprecedented level.

This is the moment!
Wen Lianggong's eyes were sparkling, and he immediately formed a secret spell with his hands, attracting his true body from an infinitely far place.

As his mind was distracted, Wen Lianggong, who was pressing his hand on the stone wall of the Shinra Pillar, had his heart moved slightly. Then he used his great magic power to tear open the crack in the void and open a passage. Based on his own mind that had sneaked in, he used the ticket given by the favor of heaven to forcibly knock open a gap.

Wen Lianggong's mind was calm, without the slightest fluctuation. Right now, this world was just a small one, and if a Golden Immortal took action, he would be able to control it.

For a moment, magic power surged and intertwined in this magic-free world, almost changing the rules of this magic-free world with an extremely brutal force.

While thinking, Wen Lianggong moved his hand slightly, took out a piece of top-grade fairy crystal, passed through the channel, and turned into a stream of light and flew away. In just a moment, this top-grade fairy crystal fell into this magic-free world, and as Wen Lianggong's mind moved, it suddenly exploded.

Then this fairy crystal turned into billions of light spots, fell into countless mountains and rivers, and turned into the origin of spiritual inspiration. Under the enlightenment of great magic power, the world actually showed a painting of Taoist patterns.

It contains a mixture of legal principles and profound Taoist rhyme. It is extremely complex and fully describes the ultimate truth of the world.

The next second, it took shape. The painting with mountains and rivers as its embellishment turned into a dragnet in Wen Lianggong's hands. Following the aura of heaven's favor, he easily found the origin of heaven's way in this small world.

Then, extract the essence and intercept the spiritual inspiration.

Wen Lianggong stopped only after Shenluo Hai's true body gathered a true essence bead as big as a pearl in his hand.

When Wen Lianggong disappeared silently from this world, no one noticed. At this moment, most people in the world were staring blankly at the countless magma-like streams of light falling from the sky and hitting the mountains, rivers and seas one after another.
