Longevity starts with inheriting a friend's legacy

Chapter 168 Emperor Yu’s method of obtaining the Ascension Order!

Yanwu did not continue to ask.

The door of Chunhua Palace was pushed open, and three figures walked in from outside the palace. Leading the way was the contemporary Emperor Yu, Li Cangwu, followed by the butcher Zhao Wuji and the black-robed figure.

Seeing Li Cangwu, Yan Wu and Fang Xu slowly stood up and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

Li Cangwu smiled and pressed his hands: "Sorry for the long wait, please take a seat."

After the five people sat down in order of importance, Li Cangwu glanced at Fang Xu and said with a smile: "Young Master Fang is young and promising."

"I remember correctly. Young Master Fang has only been in the Ascension Society for three years, but now he has become the number one inner disciple of the Ascension Society. His future is limitless."

"Your Majesty, thank you for your compliment." Fang Xu bowed neither humbly nor arrogantly, but his eyes glanced at the black-robed figure opposite him.

The strength of his soul allowed him to vaguely sense that the aura of the man in black robe was obscure and seemed strange.

This person is most likely the disciple of Minghun Dao that Jiang Feng and his master Chu Rendi mentioned.

Yan Wu also noticed the man in black robes and said with a faint smile: "This gentleman looks unfamiliar. Your Majesty, please introduce him."

Li Cangwu glanced at Yanwu and smiled slightly: "Brother Ju Yuan is from overseas. He is a close friend I met in the past. Now he happens to pass by Yu State. I invited him to stay here for a few days."

Yan Wu pretended to be in a daze and bowed slightly to Ju Yuan: "Sir, you are from overseas. I am so sorry for the disrespect."

As she spoke, she picked up the fine wine that Fang Xu had brought out and said, "I heard that your majesty and the general had taken that step, so the commander specially ordered me and Fang Xu to come and congratulate your majesty."

"The ruler is currently in seclusion and cannot come in person, so I am writing this letter and giving you a bottle of fine wine. Please do not be offended, Your Majesty."

"Haha, Brother Jiang, you are too polite. Please thank Brother Jiang on my behalf when you return." Li Cangwu took the letter and the pot of wine and said with a smile.

Fang Xu and Yan Wu bowed and watched with their own eyes as Li Cangwu handed the wine in his hand to the maid behind him.

"Your Majesty, are you going to taste the fine wine sent by the Master?" Yan Wu asked.

Fang Xu asked her to find a way to persuade Li Cangwu to drink the wine. Although she didn't know what was special about the wine, Yan Wu still spoke.

Li Cangwu was stunned for a moment, took a look at the wine jug, then smiled and waved his hand to let the maid go back first.

"Wuji, open it and take a look."

Handing the wine jug to Zhao Wuji, Li Cangwu spoke.

Zhao Wuji took the wine jug, opened it and sniffed it, his expression suddenly changed!
This pot of wine was specially prepared by Fang Xu. The wine was not a very good vintage, but Fang Xu added a few drops of the Immortal Liquid of Creation into it.

This thing is a rare treasure in the world. Even if you drop a few drops of it into water, it is a rare treasure for ordinary warriors.

"Ok?"

Li Cangwu also smelled a strange fragrance, looked at Zhao Wuji with some curiosity and asked, "How do you like the wine that Brother Jiang sent?"

Zhao Wuji bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Elder Jiang's wine is a rare and exquisite wine, but I can't explain why."

"Haha... You may have always loved drinking, but you don't know how to taste wine."

"Brother Ju Yuan, come and take a look at this wine. How is it?"

Seeing Li Cangwu handing the wine jug back to Ju Yuan, Fang Xu sneered in his heart.

He knew that Li Cangwu was a cautious person. Although he also knew that they would not resort to such a cheap method as poisoning the wine, he still asked Zhao Wuji and Ju Yuan to check the wine under the pretext of wine tasting.

Ju Yuan took the wine jug, sniffed it gently, his face showed some confusion, and then some shock!
A pair of eyes looked at Fang Xu and Yan Wu in disbelief.

"Immortal Liquid of Creation!?"

"Elder Jiang of the Ascension Society is so extravagant that he actually uses the Creation Immortal Liquid to make wine..."

As a member of the Minghun Dao, he obviously knew about the Immortal Liquid of Creation. With just a light sniff, he could smell the flavor of the Immortal Liquid of Creation in the wine.

But Li Cangwu and Zhao Wuji obviously didn't know what the Immortal Liquid of Creation was.

They all looked at Ju Yuan with curiosity.

"The Immortal Liquid of Creation is a kind of energy created by heaven and earth. This thing is produced in the purification pool and has seven colors."

"This thing contains the most fundamental and primitive energy of heaven and earth, and has a fatal attraction to monsters."

"For warriors like us, taking the Immortal Liquid of Creation, one drop is equivalent to several months of hard training."

"More importantly, this energy also has the miraculous effect of nourishing the star platform and nurturing the soul."

After saying this, a hint of greed flashed across Ju Yuan's eyes, but it was quickly suppressed.

"I thought that the elder in charge of the Ascension Society came to congratulate Your Majesty, but he was so shabby as to send a bottle of ordinary fine wine."

"I never thought that this wine actually contained something like the Immortal Liquid of Creation. This wine is priceless."

Hearing his words, a smile appeared on Li Cangwu's face.

He was very clear about Ju Yuan's abilities. Since he spoke so highly of the wine, it seemed that his worries were unnecessary.

"Fortunately, Brother Ju Yuan is here, otherwise Wu Ji and I, who are ignorant, would have almost buried Brother Jiang's good intentions."

"Since Brother Jiang has sent such a precious wine, I will use this wine to entertain you two and Mr. Ju Yuan."

As he spoke, he took the wine jug and carefully filled the glasses of the people present.

"Deacon Yanwu, Young Master Fang, I respect you."

Li Cangwu raised his glass and looked at Fang Xu and Yan Wudao.

Yan Wu was about to raise his glass when Fang Xu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Ju Yuan is a guest from afar, so let me offer you a glass of wine first."

There are still two spots left in the friend list, so he has to find a way to add Ju Yuan.

Li Cangwu smiled and nodded when he heard this: "I overlooked it, please forgive me, Mr. Ju Yuan."

Ju Yuan raised the wine glass in front of him and said with a faint smile: "It's our first meeting, young hero Fang, you are too polite."

Seeing Fang Xu raise his head and drink the wine in the glass, Ju Yuan couldn't wait to drink up the wine in his hand.

This wine contains the elixir of creation.

If there was no other way, he would even want to take this pot of wine for himself, then extract the elixir of creation inside and refine a furnace of good pills that would produce better effects.

It would be a bit of a waste to drink it directly as wine.

After drinking the wine in the glass, Fang Xu saw Ju Yuan's name slowly appearing in the friend list deep in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Friend Nine: Tianxuan Realm, Nanli Island, Juyuan (75%)

Not bad!

Fang Xu nodded with satisfaction.

However, Ju Yuan on the opposite side frowned slightly.

As a warrior in the Yuanwu realm and a cultivator of the Minghun Dao who specialized in the way of the spirit and soul, he could clearly feel that when he drank the glass of wine, his soul suddenly trembled slightly.

Somehow, there seems to be some strange feeling lingering in my heart.

Ju Yuan's heart tightened, thinking that there was something wrong with the wine. He quickly checked it carefully with the power of his soul, but found nothing abnormal.

After drinking the wine mixed with the Immortal Liquid of Creation, the Immortal Liquid of Creation inside immediately turned into the purest energy and flowed into his limbs and bones, nourishing his soul.

The comfortable and wonderful feeling made him forget the throbbing of his soul for a moment.

so comfy!

The Immortal Liquid of Creation is so magical!

Ju Yuan was immersed in it, with a look of enjoyment on his face, which made Zhao Wuji and Li Cangwu unable to contain themselves.

"Wuji, let's toast to Deacon Yanwu." Li Cangwu raised his glass impatiently and looked at Yanwu.

Yanwu hesitated for a moment, feeling that there might be something wrong with the wine.

But Zhao Wuji and Li Cangwu didn't care about that. They just tilted their heads back and drank the wine in the cup.

Fang Xu frowned when he saw this.

The two of them drank it almost at the same time. This last friend spot...

He quickly looked at his friend list.

Friend 81: Zhongzhou Li Cangwu (%)

When the last friend appeared, a smile appeared on Fang Xu's face.

Compared with Zhao Wuji, he obviously prefers that his tenth good friend is Li Cangwu.

Now that the goal has been achieved, you can wait patiently.

After Li Cangwu and Zhao Wuji drank the wine in the cup, they also felt the wonder of the Immortal Liquid of Creation and closed their eyes to feel it carefully.

Yan Wu looked at Fang Xu curiously, with questioning eyes, as if asking if she could drink this wine?
Fang Xu smiled and nodded, "This is a fine wine that is treasured by the owner. Deacon Yanwu, don't you want to try it?"

Feeling a little confused by his words, Yan Wu looked at the wine in his hand, and finally raised his head to drink it.

She also deeply realized the wonders of the Immortal Liquid of Creation.

During the following banquet, the five people had a very pleasant conversation.

After pouring two rounds of wine for several people, Li Cangwu suddenly found that there was not much wine left in the bottle, and immediately said: "This fine wine was given by Brother Jiang, I want to keep it and taste it slowly."

"Someone, change the wine!"

Ignoring the eager looks of Ju Yuan and Zhao Wuji, Li Cangwu handed the remaining wine to the maid behind him and said calmly, "Put it away for me. If anything goes wrong, I will kill all your clans."

The maid's body trembled slightly. She held the wine bottle tightly with both hands and moved it down little by little, fearing that she would accidentally spill the fine wine that was as valuable as her nine clans'.

The banquet lasted for more than an hour and ended with all the guests happy.

After Fang Xu and Yan Wu left, Li Cangwu lay comfortably on his dragon chair, closed his eyes and said calmly: "Jiang Feng sent me such a valuable gift, what should I do?"

In front of him, Zhao Wuji lowered his head and did not respond.

Li Cangwu raised his head and glanced at him: "Wuji, I have a question for you."

Zhao Wuji cupped his hands and said, "I support any decision your majesty makes!"

Seeing his serious look, Li Cangwu felt helpless: "Wuji, I regard you as a brother, can you not be so rigid?"

"Come."

As he spoke, he moved his body, made some space on the dragon throne, and called Zhao Wuji to go up.

Zhao Wuji's expression changed slightly when he saw this. He immediately knelt on one knee and clasped his hands, saying, "I am terrified. I dare not!"

"Come if I ask you to!"

Li Cangwu's face turned pale as he spoke again.

Zhao Wuji walked slowly up to it, looked at the dragon throne in front of him that symbolized the emperor's throne, and finally raised his foot.

Li Cangwu looked at him quietly, with an inexplicable smile in his eyes.

Pfft!
Zhao Wuji finally sat directly on the steps next to the dragon throne, turned his head to look at Li Cangwu and said: "I like this position."

Li Cangwu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

When it comes to breaking through the Yuanwu realm, Zhao Wuji had entered the Yuanwu realm one step ahead of him.

When the spy passed this news to Li Cangwu, he was terrified.

Although he trusts Zhao Wuji very much, Zhao Wuji holds a very high position in the army. Now that he has broken through to the Yuanwu realm, will the increase in strength make him more ambitious and make him think of replacing himself?
What I just did was just a simple test.

If Zhao Wuji really dares to sit on the dragon throne as he wishes, then he really needs to be careful.

Facts have proved that Zhao Wuji did not ignore the difference between the monarch and his subjects because of his breakthrough into the Yuanwu realm, which made Li Cangwu very pleased.

"You have been so rigid all your life." Li Cangwu said with a melancholy look as he patted Zhao Wuji's shoulder gently.

Zao Wou-Ki did not answer.

"Wuji, Dayu has been passed down for more than seventy generations. Now it is in my hands. I am always thinking about making Dayu go further."

"What lies before me now is an opportunity."

"An opportunity for Dayu to set foot in the Tianxuan Realm."

Ever since he learned about the vastness of the world from Ju Yuan, Li Cangwu's ambition has been ignited again.

His appetite is no longer satisfied with the barren land surrounding the State of Yu. He wants to lead the State of Yu into the Tianxuan Realm, make a big splash in that vast main continent, and let the name of the State of Yu spread throughout the Tianxuan Realm.

But in order to take this step, he must first break free from the control of the Ascension Society.

According to Ju Yuan, Minghun Dao had already used some means to make the Immortal Island, the headquarters of the Shengxian Society, unable to take care of itself, and now he and Zhao Wuji had broken through to the Yuanwu realm.

This seems to be a perfect opportunity for the State of Yu to break away from the Ascension Society.

However, there was always a trace of worry in Li Cangwu's heart.

This trace of worry came from Jiang Feng, the head of the Yu Kingdom's Ascension Society.

After Jiang Feng took office as the head of the Yu State branch, he has not shown much of his strength.

In the entire Dayu, the only person who has witnessed his methods is probably Ku Lun.

For this reason, Li Cangwu secretly sent people to ask Ku Lun about Jiang Feng's actual strength.

Ku Lun always said in a mysterious way that Jiang Feng was very strong and he was no match for him.

Over the years, Li Cangwu still had no idea what realm Jiang Feng was in now, or whether he had broken through to Yuanwu.

During his many visits, he also carefully observed Jiang Feng's aura and found that his cultivation was as deep as the sea and very obscure.

"minister……"

"Don't give me those high-sounding words this time. I want to hear your true thoughts!"

Just as Zhao Wuji was about to speak, Li Cangwu interrupted him.

Zao Wou-Ki is a rigidly loyal person, and Li Cangwu likes this character very much.

But in the current Dayu Dynasty, only Zhao Wuji can make him feel at ease. He wants to hear different opinions and does not want to listen to Zhao Wuji's words of loyalty.

"Yes!"

Zhao Wuji cupped his hands, then frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "I think we should wait."

Li Cangwu was curious: "How long do you have to wait?"

Zhao Wuji thought for a moment and said, "Wait until there is concrete news from the Fairy Island, and wait until there are concrete signs on Huayang Mountain."

"With the current strength of our Yu Kingdom, it is difficult to deal with the branch of the Yu Kingdom Ascension Association. If the Immortal Island can spare some time to support Huayang Mountain, the thousand-year foundation of the Yu Kingdom will be destroyed in an instant."

"I think that the most urgent task right now is to resolve the rebellion in Qingzhou and Muyun Grassland first."

"Also, there is Yuzhou. It is time for His Majesty to show up."

Li Cangwu nodded in agreement when he heard this.

After he broke through the Yuanwu realm, he no longer cared about the Qingzhou rebellion.

Although the top martial arts master of Yanshen Sect had once injured Zhao Wuji, Zhao Wuji had already broken through Yuanwu at this time. As long as he took action, the top martial arts master of Yanshen Sect would not be a threat.

As for Yuzhou...

"That old man Ren Tuo wants to be a fence-sitter. I was thinking of us as in-laws, but now that Li Xun has disappeared, I don't need to consider the feelings of the seventh son's wife."

"Let Xue Fu Tu go to Yuzhou and kill all the family members of that old man Ren Tuo."

"You go and deal with the issues in Qingzhou and Muyun Grassland. I want to eliminate the internal troubles as quickly as possible."

"When the time comes, don't let them hold me back."

Zhao Wuji quickly stood up and bowed: "Yes!"

Li Cangwu waved his hand: "Go and get busy. I'll wait for your good news."

……

Huayang Mountain Ascension Meeting.

As the sun rose, Fang Xu came to the Law Enforcement Hall with a serious expression.

"Disciple pays homage to master."

Chu Rendi slowly opened his eyes, and seeing Fang Xu's unhappy expression, he said calmly, "Are you in trouble?"

Fang Xu cupped his hands and said, "Master, I have discovered that I am unable to absorb the energy between heaven and earth."

After returning from the palace last night, Fang Xu had planned to practice here as usual.

But after sitting cross-legged, he suddenly found that he was unable to absorb any energy from this world!

It seems...it seems as if I have become out of tune with this world.

"Can't absorb the energy of heaven and earth!?" Chu Rendi looked at him in surprise and said, "Tell me in detail what happened."

Fang Xu shook his head: "I don't know the specific situation, but I just came back from Tilan Mountain. When I was preparing to practice last night, I suddenly found that the energy of this world was faintly rejecting me."

Chu Rendi's face became solemn when he heard this.

In the early stages of martial arts training, a warrior can use Qi and Blood Pills and some other elixirs to assist.

But in most cases in the later stage, one still has to rely on absorbing the energy of heaven and earth to improve.

After all, as their cultivation level improves, elixirs that can work on high-level warriors become increasingly scarce.

Especially for warriors above the level of Martial Honor, the Qi and Blood Pill they take must be of at least the sixth grade.

Currently there is only one sixth-grade alchemist, Xu Changqing, in the entire Shengxian Association, and the raw materials for refining sixth-grade Qi and Blood Pills are also very scarce, so these martial masters of the Shengxian Association rarely choose to use pills to practice on a daily basis.

Fang Xu had already followed the path of ancient martial arts. If he was unable to absorb the energy of heaven and earth now, he would be doomed to not be able to make any further progress in his life.

"Come here, let me give it a try."

Chu Rendi thought for a moment, called Fang Xu to his side, and personally guided the surrounding energy of heaven and earth to try to inject it into Fang Xu's body.

However, when these energies of heaven and earth approached Fang Xu's body, Chu Rendi suddenly felt a heart-pounding feeling in the dark.

It seemed that if he took one more step, he would suffer terrible punishment.

Chu Rendi frowned slightly, ignoring this warning from the unknown, and directly poured that trace of energy from heaven and earth into Fang Xu's body.

puff!
As soon as this trace of energy was poured into Fang Xu's body, a terrifying power of heaven and earth descended upon Chu Rendi!

He was at the peak of Martial Arts, having reached the Half-Step Yuanwu Realm. Facing this might of heaven and earth, he had no chance to resist and was directly shocked and seriously injured!
"Master!"

Fang Xu was shocked and quickly supported Chu Rendi.

"Cough cough..."

Chu Rendi coughed violently a few times, waved his hand with a pale face and said, "Master, I'm fine."

He looked at Fang Xu with a serious expression and asked, "Fang Xu, have you violated any taboo?"

"Master just felt the warning from the will of this world. It seems that you are not allowed to absorb even a trace of the energy of the world."

"This is a punishment..."

Taboo?

Fang Xu frowned slightly, and recalled the horrific scene he encountered in Tilan Mountain that night.

The figure that emerged from the crack in the void and the figure that flew out from the depths of Tilan Mountain confronted the will of this world.

The three parties finally seemed to have reached some kind of agreement.

Combining his last two star maps that were almost sealed, Fang Xu vaguely guessed some clues.

His action of constructing twelve star maps must have violated the taboo of this world. As a punishment, the will of heaven and earth intended to wipe him out.

But it should be the figure in the void crack and the figure flying out of the Tilanshan ruins who helped him and reached some kind of agreement with the will of heaven and earth.

He could continue to live, but as a price, his last two star maps were almost sealed, and he would no longer be able to absorb any energy from this world.

Thinking in this way, everything seems to be explained.

After understanding this, he no longer worried about whether he could absorb the energy of this world. With a flash of light in his hand, he took out a jar of Creation Liquid from his Qiankun bag and handed it to Chu Rendi.

"Master, please drink this."

Chu Rendi was about to wave his hand to refuse, but he vaguely smelled the scent of the Immortal Liquid of Creation. He took the jar of wine, opened it and took a look, and was completely stunned.

"This is the Creation Elixir. Why did you bring so much?"

Fang Xu did not answer, but urged: "Master, drink something first."

Chu Rendi looked at him and shook his head, saying: "You have suffered heaven's punishment. I'm afraid you won't be able to practice normally in the future."

"The Creation Immortal Liquid contains the purest energy of heaven and earth, which can support your cultivation for a period of time."

"Master, your injury will heal after a period of rest. You should keep this immortal liquid for yourself."

He had no way to help Fang Xu solve the problem of heaven's punishment. The Immortal Liquid of Creation became Fang Xu's most precious thing, and he didn't want to waste it.

"Master, don't worry. I still have you."

Fang Xu said, ignoring Chu Rendi's objection, he directly picked up the teacup beside him and handed a bowl of yellow-orange Creation Immortal Liquid to him: "Master, drink it quickly."

Chu Rendi hesitated for a moment, but finally took the teacup and drank the immortal liquid of creation inside.

The energy of the Immortal Liquid of Creation dissolved from his body and quickly repaired the damage to his body and soul.

After his injury improved, Chu Rendi said angrily, "Damn God, why is he targeting you like this?"

Fang Xu smiled faintly, turned his head and looked at the sky outside: "It doesn't matter, sooner or later, my disciple will come to settle accounts with him."

The scene that emerged in his mind was when he was constructing the tenth star map and the will of heaven and earth appeared to stop him, but he was beaten up by the figure in the void crack.

Then on the night of Tilan Mountain, a domineering and powerful man in the void rift pierced through the dark clouds with a spear, hurting the will of heaven and earth.

Since the void figure and that domineering strong man can hurt the will of heaven and earth, then I should be able to do it as well.

He believed that as long as the will of this world had blood, it could be killed!
"What are you going to do next?" Chu Rendi asked with a serious expression.

Without absorbing the energy of heaven and earth, there is no way to practice normally. Even if there is the Immortal Liquid of Creation, this thing will eventually run out, and it is impossible to use it to maintain daily practice.

"Master, don't worry. I have a solution."

Seven stone gates were opened up in the acupoint space in his body. The world behind the stone gates had a constant supply of primitive energy. He practiced involuntarily when he had nothing to do in his daily life while absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.

My strength has greatly increased now. I will go back and try to open a few more stone doors. This so-called heavenly punishment should not affect my practice.

Chu Rendi nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

After coming out of the Law Enforcement Hall, Fang Xu thought about it and decided to go to Dengxiantai to take a look.

The punishment from heaven has prevented me from practicing my physical body, so I will practice my soul. Does the will of this world want to completely ruin my path of martial arts?
no way!

Dengxiantai, when Fang Xu arrived, many inner disciples were concentrating on polishing their souls.

During their last trip to the Tilanshan ruins, they all witnessed the consequences of insufficient spirit and soul. After this incident spread, some far-sighted inner disciples gradually realized the importance of spirit and soul.

Without disturbing them, Fang Xu walked quietly towards the top of the Ascension Platform.

Soon, he arrived at the sixth floor of the Ascension Platform, where Fang Xu saw a familiar figure.

Lu Qingluo.

Lu Qingluo, who had not been seen for a long time, had now reached the seventh level of martial artist, and his soul was so strong that he was able to practice at the sixth level.

Without stopping, Fang Xu continued to go up and met Yun Wan again on the eighth floor.

At this moment, she was sitting quietly in the corner of the eighth floor.

Fang Xu also did not disturb him and went straight to the ninth floor.

His best result before was the eighth level, but at that time he was only at the second level of martial artist. Now that he has reached the level of martial master and possesses the soul of Xuanshui, the eighth level is nothing to him. Fang Xu did not stop after stepping onto the ninth level platform and continued to move forward.

Tenth floor, eleventh floor.

When he came here, he met two familiar figures again.

Tieshan, the deacon of the Divine Weapon Hall, and Wuling, the elder of the Cliff Underground Palace.

These two people actually came to Dengxiantai to practice today.

After looking at the two people, Fang Xu looked at the stairs in front of him and resolutely decided to move forward.

"Elder Wu, did anyone just pass by?"

On the eleventh floor of the Immortal Terrace, Tieshan slowly opened his eyes, looked at Wuling and asked.

Wuling stood up in confusion and looked up at the stone steps in front of him. Through the faint mist, he found Fang Xu in the world.

"It's that kid!" Wu Ling's face changed and he murmured.

Tieshan came up to him, looked at Fang Xu's back and asked in confusion: "Is it Fang Xu?"

"How can his spirit be so strong?"

Wu Ling shook his head in shock. "The eleventh level is the limit that a Martial Honor Nine level can reach. If I remember correctly, this kid is now at the Martial Honor First level, right?"

"Hurry up and inform Old Chu!" Tieshan hesitated for a moment, thinking of the time when Fang Xu reached the eighth level with the cultivation level of a second-level martial artist, and almost had a fight with Chu Rendi and Xu Changqing in front of all the disciples.

"No need, that kid went up."

Under Wu Ling's gaze, Fang Xu quickly reached the twelfth floor.

The two were stunned by this scene.

Just as the two were lamenting Fang Xu's abnormality, Fang Xu on the twelfth floor just paused for a moment and continued to move forward.

On the platform of the twelfth floor, Fang Xu adjusted to the pressure of this floor, but still felt that it was a little lacking, so he immediately walked towards the thirteenth floor.

The twelfth floor of the Dengxiantai is a place that many martial masters at the peak of their powers, or even martial artists at the half-step Yuanwu realm, can step into.

But now Fang Xu is not satisfied with this, and walks towards the thirteenth floor step by step.

The first stone step, the second stone step, the third stone step...

Gradually, he came to the thirteenth floor!

When the terrifying pressure was removed, a smile appeared on Fang Xu's face.

This level of pressure finally satisfied him.

Sitting cross-legged on the platform on the thirteenth floor, Fang Xu began to hone his Mysterious Water Soul.

……

Qingzhou, Lu family.

The news of Li Cangwu and Zhao Wuji's breakthrough has spread, and Saint Lu naturally also knew the news. At this time, his face was full of worry.

Previously, the people from Yanshen Sect injured Zhao Wuji, which gave Saint Lu hope of settling in Zhongzhou, but the people from Yanshen Sect advised him not to rush into launching an offensive, saying that he should conserve his strength.

Saint Lu followed their plan, and from the uprising until now, the Qingzhou troops have never left Qingzhou.

I never thought that it would drag on until Li Cangwu and Zhao Wuji made a breakthrough!
That’s above Martial Lord!
A realm that only exists in legends!
When Saint Lu thought about the fact that the State of Yu had inexplicably gained two people who were above the Martial Lord, he even wanted to surrender.

But he also knew Li Cangwu's character. Even if he surrendered with all the direct descendants of the Lu family, he would still not be able to escape death in the end.

Having reached this point, surrender means death, and resistance also means death. Saint Lu suddenly felt a little regretful, regretting that he had chosen to rebel out of his evil mind.

Now according to the news, Zhao Wuji has once again led his troops towards Qingzhou, and Saint Lu is as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Report!"

"Master, the master of Yanshen Sect is still in seclusion!"

At this time, a family warrior hurried over to report.

"He is still in seclusion!?" Saint Lu said anxiously, "Zhao Wuji is about to kill him at the doorstep, and he is still in seclusion!?"

"Is he going to wait until everyone in my Lu family is killed?!"

"Brother, what should we do now?" Inside the hall, Lu Jingren asked with a serious expression.

As people of the same generation, they all knew very well how strong Zhao Wudi was.

Before his breakthrough, Zhao Wuji had already established a great reputation and was known as the Butcher in the world.

Now that they have taken that step, the limited power of their Lu family is no match for Zhao Wuji!
"Wait!"

"Continue to send people to find out the movements of Zhao Wuji's army!"

"Also, capture some more Li Shu and send them to Meixiang Garden!"

Saint Lu hesitated for a moment, then spoke with a gleam of determination in his eyes.

Meixiang Garden is the place where a group of martial masters of Yanshen Sect go into seclusion. After the cooperation between the two parties, Yanshen Sect expressed that it would help the Lu family deal with Zhao Wuji and the royal army. In return, they asked Saint Lu to help them capture some young common people to help them practice.

This is nothing to Saint Lu.

The direct descendants of the Lu family practiced the Yin-Yang Xuanca Sutra on a daily basis and did a lot of harm to the common people, so they naturally did not take the demands of the Yanshen Sect seriously.

But ever since the Yanshen Sect arrived in Qingzhou, they have demanded hundreds of thousands of common people from the Lu family.

In this regard, Saint Lu once went to find the mysterious leader of Yanshen Sect.

His goal is the throne of Dayu. If cooperation with Yanshen Sect requires the cost of so many lives of the people, by the time he sits on the throne, all the people will be dead. What is the point of him being the emperor?
But the head of Yanshen Sect said that this is the way of practice of Yanshen Sect.

If they want to have the power to defeat Zhao Wuji and the royal army, they must sacrifice the lives of ordinary people.

The more people who sacrificed, the stronger their power became.

They also said that if Saint Lu was willing to sacrifice the people of Qingzhou, they could even directly help Saint Lu to raze the Zhongzhou Imperial City to the ground.

Saint Lu refused without even a second thought.

What he wanted to be was an emperor, not a puppet.

If the strength of Yanshen Sect increases greatly, even if he defeats the royal family, he will have no chance of turning things around.

But now he doesn't think so.

Zhao Wuji, who took that step, personally led a large army to attack, and Qingzhou and the Lu family were in imminent danger.

The only one we can count on at this time is Yanshen Sect.

As long as they can kill Li Cangwu and Zhao Wuji, even if he sinks to the bottom and becomes a puppet, at least his life can be saved and he will have a chance to turn things around in the future.

"Big brother!"

Lu Jingren wanted to stop it, but when he thought that this seemed to be the only way to save the Lu family, he could only grit his teeth and said, "I will go there myself!"

Leaving the hall with some resentment, Lu Jingren went directly to the military camp.

"Come here, select 30,000 elite soldiers and follow me to Huangzhou!"

Hundreds of thousands of people in Qingzhou have been killed by the Yanshen Sect, and Lu Jingren does not want to capture anyone from Qingzhou anymore.

Since we are going to offer sacrifices to the Yanshen Sect, we might as well steal them from Huangzhou next door!

Anyway, the current lord of Huangzhou is the Xing family, a former third-rate family that relied on flattery to sit on the position of lord of Huangzhou. If it weren't for the Yanshen Sect's obstruction, they would have taken over the entire Huangzhou long ago.

……

Ascension meeting, on the Ascension Platform.

Fang Xu has been practicing in seclusion here for more than ten days.

During this period, he strengthened his Xuanshui Soul a lot again, and the strength of his soul has even reached an astonishing level.

Reaching the thirteenth floor of the Immortal Terrace, Fang Xu slowly stood up, feeling the pressure around him, and slowly looked towards the stone steps leading to the fourteenth floor.

The fourteenth level of the Immortal Terrace is accessible only to those who are at the Yuanwu realm.

This is what Chu Rendi once told him, but Fang Xu now feels that the pressure of the thirteenth floor is no longer of much use to him, and he really wants to go to the fourteenth floor to take a look.

His feet walked step by step to the stone steps leading to the tenth floor. Fang Xu hesitated for a moment, and finally took a step forward.

The first stone step, the second stone step...

As he climbed step by step, the pressure of the restrictions on the Immortal Platform weighed heavily on his soul.

The terrifying pressure made Fang Xu feel that with every step he took, a terrifying mountain appeared above his soul!

Double your step!
There are seven stone steps leading to the fourteenth floor. If you reach the top, the pressure will be seven times that of the thirteenth floor!

Fang Xu's feet trembled slightly as he slowly reached the third stone step.

After adjusting for a moment, he raised his foot again.

The fourth stone step!
When he got here, he could already see the platform on the fourteenth floor.

Under the horrible pressure, he slowly raised his head.

The moment his eyes looked towards the platform on the fourteenth floor, Fang Xu was stunned!
people!
There is actually someone on the fourteenth floor of Dengxiantai!

It’s Jiang Feng!
When he saw the figure on the fourteenth floor clearly, Fang Xu was shocked to find that the person sitting cross-legged on the fourteenth floor was actually Jiang Feng, the elder in charge of the Yu Kingdom's Ascension Society!
wrong!

There is another person next to Jiang Feng!

Through the thin mist, Fang Xu suddenly discovered that there was a figure wearing a white shirt standing next to Jiang Feng!

The figure waved the sword around Jiang Feng, and the terrifying pressure of the Immortal Platform seemed to have no effect on him at all.

Fang Xu looked quietly, trying to see the face of the figure in white clearly.

But the height of the Immortal Platform was so high and filled with smoke, and because of the restrictions, he could not use his spiritual power. He could only vaguely see a figure that looked very similar to Jiang Feng!
Fang Xu gritted his teeth and wanted to take another step forward.

But the fourth stone step of the thirteenth floor seemed to be his limit.

Standing here, Fang Xu found it difficult even to lift his feet.

After trying several times, he finally gave up.

He slowly retreated along the stone steps under his feet to the thirteenth floor, and finally walked directly to the bottom of the Ascension Platform.

The moment his body stepped out of the immortal platform, a virtual panel suddenly popped up in front of his eyes.

[Your friend Ren Tuo has died. As a friend, you can inherit any of Ren Tuo's four estates. ]

Heritage 1: [Purple Heritage·Yuzhou Ghost Face Army (3,000 people)] The risk of inheritance is unknown. The Ghost Face Army is the elite among the Yuzhou soldiers. The strength of all members of the Ghost Face Army is above the fifth level of martial arts. They usually hide among the thousands of people in Yuzhou. The Ghost Face Army obeys the orders of those who hold the Yuzhou Order.

Legacy 1: [Mysterious incomplete map of unknown quality (4/)] The risk of inheritance is unknown. The incomplete map was obtained by Ren Tuo in his early years, and the specific recorded information is unknown.

Legacy 80: [White Legacy·Agility Attribute points.] Inheritance is risk-free, but you need to touch Ren Tuo's corpse to obtain it.

Legacy 75: [White Legacy·Life Attribute points.] Inheritance is risk-free, but you need to touch Ren Tuo's corpse to obtain it.

Ren Tuo is dead! ?
Looking at the information on the virtual panel, Fang Xu frowned slightly.

Ren Tuo is the head of the Ren family in Yuzhou and also the lord of Yuzhou.

After Qingzhou launched a rebellion, the forces of other prefectures of Yu State either chose to join the royal family or the Lu family. Only Yuzhou remained on the sidelines.

Now that Ren Tuo died suddenly, it seemed that someone had taken action against Yuzhou.

I just don't know if it was the royal family or the Lu family who took action.

After some thought, Fang Xu suddenly felt that it should be the royal family who took action against Yuzhou.

There is Huangzhou between Qingzhou and Yuzhou. It is unreasonable for the Lu family to cross Huangzhou and attack Yuzhou directly.

It seems that Li Cangwu is dissatisfied with the fence-sitter behavior of the Yuzhou Ren family.

If you die, just die.

He directly clicked the inheritance button, and Fang Xu's eyes were fixed on inheritance number two in the inheritance list.

The mysterious fragment of the map of unknown quality reminded him of the three fragments of the map related to the Death Sand Sea in his Qiankun bag.

One of them was obtained from his grandfather's belongings. If the incomplete map on Ren Tuo and the three copies in his hands are really a set, then he will be able to put together a complete map, and at that time he will also know what his grandfather had been searching for for nearly twenty years.

The legacy rolling before me gradually froze.

【Congratulations on receiving the inheritance】

[The location of Yuzhou Order has been discovered. Please follow the instructions to retrieve Yuzhou Order, and then use it to summon the Ghost Face Army.]

Seeing the information displayed on the virtual panel, Fang Xu shook his head in disappointment.

Three thousand soldiers whose strength has reached the fifth level of martial arts.

If you don't rebel or seize territory, what's the use of having these people?

This legacy is not as useful as legacy three and legacy four.

After taking a look at the indicator arrow next to the virtual panel, Fang Xu decided not to go to Yuzhou right away, so he went straight to the villa at the foot of the mountain.

In the villa, Lu Zhiyuan was discussing something with Lu Qingluo.

From the solemn expressions of the two people, it can be seen that something must have happened.

"Master, Senior Sister." Fang Xu came up and greeted them.

Lu Zhiyuan said: "Fang Xu, you came at the right time."

"sit down."

Fang Xu sat in front of Lu Zhiyuan, looked at his serious face and asked, "What happened?"

Lu Zhiyuan slowly said: "The royal family has taken action."

"According to reliable information, General Xue, a subordinate of Zhao Wuji, led his men to Yuzhou and killed all the direct descendants of the Ren family in Yuzhou."

"Zhao Wuji personally led the remaining three people and 600,000 troops to Qingzhou, preparing to defeat the rebels in Qingzhou in one fell swoop."

"Master is worried that after Zhao Wuji has dealt with the Lu family in Qingzhou, the next step will be to clean up the Muyun Grassland."

"After Li Cangwu's breakthrough, he will no longer allow the existence of my Muyun clan."

Fang Xu nodded after hearing this.

It is inevitable to clean up the Muyun Grassland.

Although Li Cangwu destroyed the Muyun Kingdom mainly for the method of breaking through to the Yuanwu Realm inherited from the Muyun Kingdom, as the emperor of the Yu Kingdom, expanding territory was naturally part of his plan.

The Muyun Kingdom had been destroyed for so long, and the Muyun descendants on the grassland had been rampant despite repeated bans. It was beyond Fang Xu's expectations that Li Cangwu waited until now to take action.

"Master, please forgive me for speaking frankly. With the current strength of the Muyun clan, facing Zhao Wuji's army is like an egg hitting a rock."

Fang Xu thought for a moment and then spoke.

Lu Zhiyuan smiled bitterly.

He knew that although what Fang Xu said was a bit discouraging, it was the truth.

In fact, from the very beginning, he was trying to prevent Nanwu from restoring his country, but Nanwu and the remnants of the Muyun Kingdom living on the grassland simply didn't listen and insisted on doing so.

"Fang Xu, now is not the time to talk about this. We need to find a way to help Nan Wu and the others overcome the current crisis." Lu Qingluo said.

Fang Xu nodded and looked at Lu Zhiyuan and Lu Qingluo and said, "The way to get through the crisis is very simple."

Lu Zhiyuan asked curiously: "What is the method?"

Fang Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Migrate."

The remnants of Muyun are actually all from grassland tribes. As a grassland tribe, they should get used to the migrating way of life.

Living near water and grass is the lifestyle that grassland tribes should have.

It was precisely because of the loss of this life philosophy that the royal family and millions of common people of Muyun Kingdom were slaughtered by Zhao Wuji in the war of annihilation many years ago.

"Migration..."

Lu Zhiyuan muttered these two words silently, stood up helplessly and said: "Master has also thought of this."

"However, around the Muyun Grassland, where is there any place for our tribe to stand?"

Fang Xu shook his head when he heard this and said, "Master, I want to know how many survivors of Muyun are there now?"

Lu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment and then said, "Less than 100,000 people."

Fang Xu smiled: "One hundred thousand people. There is a slightly desolate piece of land to the west of Muyun Grassland, which is large enough to accommodate one hundred thousand people."

"Of course, if the remnants of Muyun Nation have some ambitions other than survival, it would be difficult to find a suitable place to accommodate the ambitions of 100,000 people."

"Fang Xu you!" Lu Qingluo got a little angry when he heard this.

She felt that Fang Xu's words were a bit too much.

The remnants of the Muyun Kingdom have lived in the lush Muyun grassland for generations. Now it is the Yu Kingdom that wants to take away the Muyun grassland. How can it be said that the Muyun people are ambitious?
Lu Zhiyuan didn't seem to understand what Fang Xu meant.

In terms of heritage, the heritage of the Muyun Kingdom is even older than that of the Yu Kingdom. The people of the Muyun Kingdom have always considered themselves to be a noble race. They guard the Muyun grassland and are unwilling or even disdainful of disputes with the surrounding countries and tribes.

"Master..."

Looking at the ugly faces of the father and daughter, Fang Xu spoke again: "I mean, I hope that the Muyun people will recognize their own situation now."

"Is it survival or dignity?"

"If you want to survive, there is no need to care about temporary humiliation and temporarily retreat to that desolate place."

"If you want dignity, then don't think about these things. Gather all the survivors of Muyun Country and fight Zhao Wuji's army openly on the grassland."

Dignity only lies on the edge of the sword!

If the Muyun Kingdom still wants dignity as it has no sword in its hands now, it can only exchange it with the lives of its people!
This is the bloody reality.

Lu Zhiyuan was silent.

Lu Qingluo wanted to say something, but after opening and closing his mouth a few times, he didn't know what to say.

Fang Xu looked at the two of them, bowed slightly to Lu Zhiyuan, and then went to find the old ape.

Although both of them bear a deep blood feud, the people of Muyun Kingdom and Yun Wan are completely different.

The deep hatred that Yun Wan carries is her silent motivation to become stronger. She knows very clearly that she must not act rashly before she has the strength.

On the other hand, these people from the Muyun Kingdom, especially the radicals of Nanwu, do not have sufficient strength and act rashly without considering the consequences.

Putting aside the question of dignity or not, at least this idea is inconsistent with his way of dealing with the world.

Inside the room, the old ape saw Fang Xu coming and stared at him with a half-smile on his face.

"Uncle Yuan." Fang Xu cupped his hands.

The old ape didn't say anything, but just pointed at the stool next to him and motioned Fang Xu to sit down first.

After Fang Xu sat down, he spoke: "Humans are like this sometimes. They carry too many things on their shoulders and can't tell which ones are necessary and which ones are unimportant."

"Ugh!"

"Human energy is limited, just like a bowl. If you want to drink water, you have to pour out the wine in the bowl."

Fang Xu nodded: "I understand all these principles, but Master and Senior Sister..."

"It's okay, they will understand." The old ape comforted.

The two were silent for a while and neither of them discussed the matter anymore.

"Uncle Yuan, what do you think is Elder Jiang Feng's cultivation level?" On the Immortal Stage, Fang Xu saw with his own eyes that Jiang Feng was practicing on the tenth level of the Earth. There was also a person who looked very similar to him dancing with a sword beside him. Fang Xu found it very strange.

"he?"

The old ape pondered for a moment and said, "When I saw him before, I thought he was at the half-step Yuanwu realm."

"But then I thought about it and felt that it might not be the case..."

"In short, the aura on him is very strange, but his strength should be no weaker than that of Yuanwu realm."

Fang Xu nodded after hearing this, and then briefly told the old ape what he had seen on the Ascension Platform.

After hearing this, the old ape said with a serious expression: "It seems that I have overlooked one thing."

Fang Xu asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

The old ape slowly stood up and said thoughtfully, "I once saw the concept of out-of-body experience in an ancient book."

"Based on what you just said, I suspect that the figure who looks very similar to Jiang Feng is most likely his Yang Shen."

Fang Xu was completely confused.

He didn't quite understand what Yang Shen was.

The old ape did not explain much, and a mini version of the Earth Demon Ape slowly appeared above his head.

The body of the little Earth Demon Ape was a little illusory. After appearing above the old ape's head, his body became like a corpse, motionless and without any breath.

As the shadow of the little Earth Demon Ape returned to his body, the old ape opened his eyes and said, "See? I just came out of the Yang God state."

"After breaking through to the Yuanwu realm, the soul is completely condensed and can leave the body for a short period of time. This state was called out-of-body experience or out-of-yang spirit in ancient times."

"According to ancient records, some powerful Yuanwu realm cultivators, when their bodies are severely injured, can use their Yang Shen to forcibly take over the bodies of others and live a new life."

Seize the house! ?
Fang Xu was a little shocked!

"According to your description, Jiang Feng's Yang Spirit was able to completely leave his body and practice martial arts on his own. This is enough to prove that his spirit is far more powerful than mine."

"It seems that I was wrong before."

"Fang boy, your master is hiding very deeply."

Fang Xu nodded.

He had always thought that Jiang Feng was very mysterious, but now it seemed that his cultivation was definitely not as simple as the rumors outside.

As for the previous rumor that he liked to seek out Master Ku Lun for sparring, Fang Xu now suddenly felt that that might be Jiang Feng's way of confusing his opponent.

The two chatted for a while before Fang Xu returned to the Ascension Meeting alone.

As soon as he returned to his residence, a disciple from the Law Enforcement Hall found him and said that Chu Rendi wanted him to come over.

When Fang Xu arrived at the Law Enforcement Hall, Chu Rendi didn't wait for him to salute and said directly: "Senior Brother Jiang is looking for you, please follow me."

Following Chu Rendi, the two came to the bamboo forest where Jiang Feng lived in seclusion.

When he saw Jiang Feng again, Fang Xu still couldn't sense his aura.

"Greetings, Master."

Fang Xu bowed, Jiang Feng nodded slightly, and with a flash of light in his hand, he took out a jade token that was glowing with a faint fluorescence and handed it over.

"This is the Immortal Ascension Order. After the eighteenth day of the winter month, you can set off to the Immortal Island to participate in the assessment of core disciples."

"But the Fairy Island is in crisis now, and I will go with you."

"You'd better take the old ape with you. If he is willing, I can help him apply for the status of a mountain king."

Tiger?

Fang Xu asked curiously, "Is it the same as the mountain king guarding the Star Palace?"

Jiang Feng nodded: "The Mountain Lord is equivalent to the worshiper of the Ascension Society. He can stay on the Fairy Island to practice on weekdays, or he can go to a branch in the town to enjoy the resources of the Ascension Society. He only needs to take action when the Ascension Society is in danger."

"Go back and ask for his opinion."

After saying this, Jiang Feng returned to the bamboo house, leaving Fang Xu and Chu Rendi alone.
