Two Realms: I use martial arts to ask for longevity

Chapter 512: Temptation + County City Weirdness
"understood."

Zhou Ping'an had always been a little curious.

Since the four great immortal sects, the three great Buddhist sects and the twelve aristocratic families all know that by taking advantage of the situation and gathering their luck, they can make the cultivation speed of their own sect's disciples extremely fast.

If they could unify the world, their sect or family would surely rise to prominence, and from then on, talented people and masters would emerge in large numbers.

But they were all honest and not a single one of them raised the banner of rebellion or openly opposed the court.

This is somewhat unreasonable.

Although it seems that the people in this world are in dire straits, the imperial court has serious problems in controlling the local areas.

However, the flames of war that were ignited in various places were all caused by some grassroots heroes such as kings, village chiefs, and gang leaders.

Of course, the most powerful army is still the Red Lotus Army.

The reason naturally lies in the inheritance of military strategists in the imperial court.

An ordinary general who has successfully cultivated evil spirit can be compared with an ordinary general who has cultivated the seventh level of true Qi.

And when one reaches the level of unity of Gang and Sha, one can fight against the Grandmaster level of Heaven and Man Induction...

When the evil spirit takes shape, the generals should be able to fight against the masters of the Zhenwu realm, just like the two Tiqi commanders Chu Changxing and Fu Dongliu whom he had met in Fenghuangtai.

If a real fight breaks out, even if Zhang Taiyan, who is in the middle stage of Zhenwu, faces them, he may not necessarily win.

Zhou Ping'an himself practiced the art of combining Gang and Sha, and now he has reached the level of transformation and shaking light. After silently estimating his power level, he realized that this way of cultivating Sha Qi is actually a quick technique.

The only disadvantage is that it does not maintain health.

The sectarians and family members who truly have the inheritance and opportunity simply disdain it.

There must be another reason here.

That is, even if the evil shadow transformed by the evil energy has been cultivated to the highest level, it may not be able to resist the powerful Dharma image.

For example, the Dharma images of Baihe and Yu Changsheng are of infinite uses and extremely powerful. Even when facing the Qinglong Sha in the demon-suppressing trial, they would have some advantages.

Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that General Wu Qi, who practiced the Qinglong Gangsha, did not cultivate the evil spirit to the extreme.

But in general, the Zhenwu path has become mainstream and is sought after by warriors all over the world, so it naturally has its advantages.

I heard it from Wu Changsong.

This military technique, after being cultivated to the level of evil spirits, will actually transform into supernatural powers and can even compete with warriors in the divine martial realm.

Things start to get complicated.

Even if each sect and school has powerful masters who can crush the whole world, they are still in the blessed land and cannot come out.

Even if there are some means to infiltrate this world and use the divine field, it cannot be used as a common means and can only be used as a trump card for a Jedi comeback.

If a master at the level of a divine general wants to cut down mountains and destroy temples, it is very likely that his life span will be exhausted before he can conquer the sect, unless the imperial court orders many divine generals to attack at the same time regardless of the cost.

But first of all, it depends on whether those high-ranking generals are willing to risk their lives to fight for the decline of one or several sects. If all the sects really feel the danger, if the Four Immortal Sects and the Three Buddhist Sects join forces, the imperial court will probably fall.

According to this analysis, the strength of the sect's Divine Martial Realm masters should be stronger.

The number of divine generals in the imperial court is larger.

After all, the imperial court occupies such a large territory and has a huge base, so it will naturally have an advantage in the number of talented people.

In this way, no matter which sect or faction raises the flag of rebellion first, they will undoubtedly bear the brunt and be besieged by a large number of masters of the imperial court, and thus die without a burial place.

"That's sloppy."

Zhou Ping'an thought about it this way and felt that the Yunshui Sect's cover-up, its efforts to help Yunzhou quell the rebellion, and its support for its disciples to act as agents and climb up within the system was actually a good move.

Instead, he just ignored the consequences and directly attacked the city and seized the land.

In the eyes of others, he is a "greenhorn" and a troublemaker who doesn't know the consequences of his own actions.

He is the "pioneer for the king" and the pathfinder.

"If I were one of the officials in the imperial court, I would also have to kill Jiangzhou's Zhou Ping'an as a sacrifice to serve as a warning to others."

It is easy to understand why it attracted the attention of the Zhenbei Army.

It wasn’t entirely because Monk Xuanming persuaded Fenghuangtai.

Maybe he had some credit for it.

However, it must be just a catalyst, an opportunity.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Zhenbei Army, which is such an important national weapon, to ignore the Red Lotus Bandits and attack their own Ping'an Army first.

"But wealth and honor come from risk. If we didn't take risks, how could we be in this situation now?
With my practice, let alone reaching the middle stage of Zhenwu Reality Realm, it is very likely that I cannot even reach the Perfect Qi Realm at this moment.

As for Lin Huaiyu, Uncle Yu, Master and Uncle Shi, all those who followed the Ping An Army to fight together, it was impossible for them to achieve such a breakthrough. "

As the leader who has enjoyed the greatest benefits of luck, Zhou Ping'an is of course well aware of the effects of the luck he has gathered.

To be honest, I am not actually a genius in spiritual practice.

Even though he had the broken mirror in his hand and practiced the Red Lotus Karma Fire Visualization Method, he was only an ordinary genius.

If you want to break through to Zhenwu, it would be difficult without twenty years of hard work.

But now, within more than half a year, more than ten bottlenecks have been overcome, and the improvement of cultivation is as fast as taking a plane.

It would be impossible to achieve this without the blessing of the luck of heaven and earth.

“When the time comes, heaven and earth will work together. This is a snowball game. The larger the territory, the stronger the luck, the faster the cultivation, and the more benefits.

As long as no one interrupts this upward momentum, it will become a giant sooner or later. In a sense, it is the destiny.

Therefore, the imperial court went to great lengths to deal with the Jiangzhou issue, and even sent out the border defense commander Yue Chengtian..."

As for the likes and dislikes of the founder of the Yunshui Sect.

Zhou Ping'an didn't actually take it too seriously.

There are so many enemies, not one more, not one less.

If I haven't passed this level, there is no need to bother the sect's founder to help me personally.

They were directly suppressed by the imperial troops.

Or he might be killed by the powerful warriors of Brahma Temple.

If he could pass this level, he would be able to "let fish leap as far as the sea allows and let birds fly as high as the sky allows". Even if all the reclusive ancestors of the Yunshui Sect appeared together, they would have to consider whether they dared to attack his disciple.

When you are away from home, your identity is always given by yourself.

If you become strong, all difficulties and hardships can be easily solved.

Thinking of the supernatural powers cultivated by the court generals and the upcoming war, Zhou Ping'an not only did not feel the slightest bit nervous, but his blood was boiling.

The supernatural powers cultivated by the divine generals can actually match the laws comprehended by the divine martial realm. Regardless of whether they can win or not, they are at least at the same level of power.

Yue Chengtian and the others can do it.

So, can I do it too?
The answer is yes.

Zhou Ping'an asked himself, now that he was in great luck, there was basically no reason for him to fail in practicing any technique he wanted to practice.

Moreover, he has a huge advantage.

Those military generals who cultivated evil spirits, achieved the state of spiritual connection with evil spirits, and developed supernatural powers, still had to worry about damaging their bodies and spirits, especially their physical bodies, which could not withstand the damage caused by the strong evil spirits, leading to the exhaustion of their lifespans and premature death.

But I am different.

I thought of General Wu Qi whom I met during the Demon-Slaying Trial.

Then I thought of the Zhenyu Demon Subduing Sect's Starlight Body Refining Technique and the method of opening the Nine Tianyuan Apertures.

Zhou Ping'an had a vague guess.

This magical skill of Gangsha should be the specialty of the Zhenyue Fumo Sect.

First lay the foundation, then strengthen the body... After the origin is strong and not afraid of damage, then condense the energy and refine the evil spirit to cultivate supernatural powers.

This is the complete practice.

The more he thought about it, the more this seemed to be the case.

“Two thousand years ago, no one knows what happened. After the Prison Subduing Demon Sect was destroyed, the sect’s skills were also divided into two. The secular court might have obtained a damaged version.

Of course, it is also possible that the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time deliberately passed down this incomplete evil-refining technique...

What is more likely is that the Immortal Sect at the time was keeping a strict watch and would not allow the Prison Suppression and Demon Subduing Sect to revive, so they would attack in groups if they encountered them.

As a result, the Starlight Body Refining Technique and the Body Aperture Opening Technique became extinct, and the world only regarded the Condensing Gang Refining Technique as a general's inheritance."

If the guess is true.

Zhou Ping'an can make this judgment.

Once he has cultivated the realm of spiritual power and mastered supernatural powers, with his unparalleled physique, he can control his supernatural powers without any worries, and will be much more powerful than the divine generals.

This is the real complete body refining technique that can fight against the Shenwu head-on, not lose, and even win.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ping'an even looked forward to the early arrival of the 100,000 Zhenbei Army.

However, the war in Jiangzhou cannot be delayed any longer.

The situation in Chitong County must also be pacified quickly, and troops must be withdrawn as soon as possible to return south.

Even if Qingnv, Lin Huaiyu and the others could delay the marching speed of the Zhenbei Army, it would not last long.

……

"Uncle Wu came all the way here to tell me the news, which really helped me a lot. This is just a small gift, not a token of respect, so please don't despise it, Uncle and Sister."

Many thoughts flashed through Zhou Ping'an's mind.

With an idea in mind, the look in his eyes when he looked at Wu Changsong became very gentle.

He took out two jade bottles from his arms, handed one to Wu Changsong, and the other to Gan Xiaolu, who was looking at him curiously with her eyes wide open.

This junior sister really needs to go out for a walk with her master.

Otherwise, once you get outside, you may be sold out.

Looking at the little girl's sheep-like wet eyes, Zhou Pingan shook his head secretly, smiled, and put the bottle in her hand.

"Master, it's Huangya Pills, top-grade Huangya Pills. There are actually ten of them... I used them all and was able to cultivate to the Gangqi realm. Senior Brother Zhou, you are so kind."

Wu Changsong's old face turned red.

Hearing his little apprentice speak so childishly, he almost dug out a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment by digging his toes into the ground.

It's so embarrassing.

Don’t you know how to give in?
If others see this, they will think that I, Die Cang Feng, am so poor that I can’t even afford elixirs, and therefore let my disciples suffer in poverty?

Well, I really can't afford it. After taking a look at the glittering yellow pill and smelling its refreshing fragrance, Wu Changsong felt that his Qi was slightly fluctuating.

He knew that these ten top-grade yellow bud pills were enough to allow a disciple of ordinary aptitude to directly cross the realm of true Qi, open up all the meridians, open up the Ren and Du meridians, and then condense the Qi into Gang Qi until the Gang Qi is perfect.

One top-grade pill has the same medicinal power as ten top-grade pills. This small bottle contains the equivalent of one hundred top-grade Huangya pills.

Even if one...

Well, this gift has been given, and anyone who refuses it is a fool.

Chapter 598: The County City is Weird

Wu Changsong hesitated, his hand sank slightly. He was about to push back the jade bottle Zhou Ping'an handed over to him, but his eyes glanced at the pill in the transparent jade bottle and his eyes became dull.

His hand trembled slightly as he uncorked the bottle. Three jade-colored pills, shining like swords, came into view.

After smelling it again, I felt my spirit working rapidly and my mind became extremely clear.

Between heaven and earth, the thin veil that blocked him from feeling the energy seemed to be blown away by the wind...

"This is the Tongtian Jiyi Pill."

Wu Changsong's eyes were bloodshot and his throat had become slightly hoarse without him noticing. It was a rare chance that he would not lose his composure.

Once he had these three top-grade ultimate pills, relying on his own martial arts foundation, he would be able to cross the threshold of heaven and man's connection in one step, cultivate divine martial arts, and become a master.

As long as you are lucky enough and get a pill to awaken your mind, you can enter the Zhenwu realm and enjoy it for five hundred years.

And under the circumstances where the spiritual tide has revived, it is not too difficult to obtain the enlightenment pill.

With the martial arts power of a grandmaster, there are plenty of opportunities.

What he had in his hand were not just three pills, but lifespan of at least 350 years and overwhelming strength.

"That's right, it's the Tongtian Jiyi Pill. I, nephew, have been very lucky recently. By chance, I was able to collect some precious medicines and refine some pills.

It's not too precious, it's good enough to help my uncle and sister."

Zhou Ping'an smiled nonchalantly, as if what he was sending was not some rare and precious elixir, but a common Qi and Blood Pill on the market.

Su Lianxue looked at the wonderful expressions on the faces of Wu Changsong and his apprentice, and tried hard to suppress her smile. She said softly, "Brother, why are you being so polite? We are all family. We are so full of these pills that we want to vomit, and we don't need them much. Just accept them. Look how anxious the child is."

Gan Xiaolu was standing aside, tightly holding the translucent jade bottle, as if she was afraid that someone would snatch it from her. Her big wet eyes looked towards her master with a hint of pleading.

I was afraid that my master would be pretending to be polite and ask me to return the pill.

Where can I find the elixir that can save me twenty years of hard work?
"In this case, I will accept it with audacity."

Wu Changsong's face turned red and white, and the words of refusal rolled around in his throat and he couldn't utter a word.

Not thick-skinned.

The truth is, this nephew has given so much.

“Don’t be afraid of being laughed at by my junior apprentice brother. I have been stuck in the late stage of martial arts for more than ten years and have not made any progress.

With this elixir, I can take a step further.

If the brothers and sisters in the sect heard about my opportunity, they would probably be so envious that their eyes would turn red. "

He thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, although we dare not disobey the will of the sect master, this sect is so vast that everyone may have different aspirations.

Since the ancestors didn't care about us, it's no wonder that we have to make a living on our own...

When the catastrophe comes, if you don’t move forward, you will retreat! I believe that those brothers will turn around and think about whether it is worth it. "

When Zhou Ping'an heard this, he smiled even more gently.

After all, Wu Changsong is the elder of the sect and an uncle of the same generation. Even if he wants to surrender and kowtow, he still has to consider some face.

In fact, he was very willing in his heart and wanted to come over.

However, thinking that he had not accomplished anything and that there were some gaps in the past, he thought about helping the Ping An Army to recruit people.

The meaning of his words was very clear.

When I get back, I will talk about how several people here achieved the Zhenwu realm, and show off the benefits I got and the realm I improved.

It can basically be confirmed.

The people from other peaks of the Yunshui Sect all became tempted by the new situation.

You treat me as a national hero, and I should repay you as a national hero.

Since the sect's founder doesn't care about the lives of the outer peak disciples, then he shouldn't care about these people and just leave and pursue his own future.

……

The dinner to celebrate the promotion was a complete success and both the guests and the hosts had a great time.

The next day, after seeing off Master Wu Changsong, who looked energetic and in a very different mental state, Zhou Ping'an called Qin Hao over.

"Tell me, what exactly happened in Chitong County? They entered the city easily, so why did they retreat again?"

Qin Hao led his troops to attack Chitong and as expected, he did not encounter much resistance.

The city was indeed "captured".

But, according to him, it would have been better if they hadn't attacked at all.

When Zhou Ping'an heard the news at the dinner, he had some guesses in his mind. He estimated that this should be the backup plan that Monk Xuanming had laid out that day.

There is no rush.

While he sent out some Qinglin Cavalry to investigate carefully, he once again asked Qin Hao about the details of his leadership to see if he could find the specific reason.

"It is like this. At this time, Chitong County City has gathered a full 500,000 civilians and soldiers, and a small half of them are from the countryside of various counties and towns who have fled into the county city.

These people are not threatening at all, but there are inevitably many cultivators among them.”

The martial arts spirit is very strong in this world. Once the population increases, there will definitely be more and more people who have practiced martial arts, not to mention the masters.

At that time, before the refugees were relocated to Qingyang City, there were only 200,000 people. There were many martial arts schools, various wealthy families, and several gangs in the city...

This is not to mention the official power of Qingyang City.

There are countless people who practice martial arts.

This is the case in a remote county town like Qingyang City, so one can imagine how many people practicing martial arts there are in a prosperous city like Chitong County.

Even if it is not 100,000, it is at least 70,000 or 80,000.

"But these cultivators are causing chaos, and the troops entering the city are not enough to suppress them?"

“Not really, those people were very strange, they didn’t resist, it’s just that their eyes were very strange.

Even the beggars on the street looked at us, the peace army, entering the city as if we were enemies...

The people in the entire city seemed to be crazy and could not see the situation clearly.

If you tell them to do something in person, they will obey your orders... When it is night and no one is paying attention, the soldiers entering the city will be attacked frantically."

Qin Hao frowned.

"They don't seem to be afraid of death. After being caught and beheaded, they are still smiling and saying things like 'I got into Lingshan earlier, I'm lucky this time, I can be reborn into a rich family'. It's hard to understand."

"How many people were lost?" Zhou Ping'an looked a little stern.

"Not many. Seventy-three people died and more than a hundred were injured." Qin Hao said ashamedly.

He never suffered so many casualties when he led troops in battle.

They just entered the city, but due to carelessness, they suffered so much loss that they dared not stay in the county town and retreated in disgrace.

"Originally, I wanted to clean up some people and tie up all the warriors, but those people were not afraid at all. After hundreds of people died, they still had hatred in their eyes..."

"So, you left the city?" Zhou Ping'an understood a little bit what was going on in the county city.

He had long heard that the Brahma Temple had various unique methods that were spread throughout the world.

It is said to save all living beings.

It can confuse people's minds.

However, I have never heard of such an exaggerated situation.

"Besides this, have there been any other strange incidents in Chitong County? Anything incredible?"

When Zhou Ping'an thought of this, he felt a slight warning in the depths of his heart, and suddenly he had a sense of danger, knowing that this matter must be unusual.

"Yes, indeed. In addition to the abnormal expressions of the people, the spy who sneaked into Chitong said that the golden Buddha statue more than 30 feet tall in the Puji Temple in the city has disappeared. This should not have much to do with the people in the city, right?"

"How come it doesn't matter?"

Zhou Pingan shook his head.

Order immediately.

"Gather the troops and head to Chitong. I want to see what tricks Monk Xuanming can come up with now that he only has the relic left."

This method is sinister and treacherous, and it attacks the enemy where they must be rescued.

Zhou Ping'an didn't believe that it wasn't done by Xuanming.

The other party's purpose is actually obvious.

Aren’t you known for loving your people like your own children?

If you have the ability, kill all these 500,000 Chitong people.

If they didn't kill them, they would be entangled with 500,000 people and would be stuck in a quagmire, unable to get out and move south.

Of course, you can also just ignore it...

But the general trend of the world is that if you fail, you will fail.

Once they were blocked at Chitong and had no choice but to retreat, their ambition to capture cities and territories and win every battle would be immediately crushed.

The rise and fall of luck will give rise to variables.

Who knows, we might suffer a miserable defeat next.

Therefore, no matter how you look at it, the fat piece of meat in Chitong County has to be swallowed.

Even if it gets stuck in your throat, you can't let it go.
