Chapter 328 The Ancient Emperor
"Fellow Daoist Lu, what kind of sword technique is this?"
"Fellow Daoist Lu, can you tell me what you think about the sword?"
"Friend Lu..."
Lu Qing was very annoyed.
In the past, it was not that he had never heard of Bai Nantian. After all, he was very famous in the whole country of Yan. He used to be a very famous peerless genius. Later, he also successfully fulfilled his potential and easily entered the Jindan stage, and then entered the Nascent Soul stage.
According to the rumors, this is a handsome, suave and suave guy who cuts down all the enemies in the world with one sword, the kind of person who is very sassy and cool.
But no matter what the rumors are, they have never said that this guy is so talkative!
After killing Zou Ziwu and seeing Lu Qing's 'Breaking Heaven' sword, Bai Nantian became this kind of virtue.
In fact, thinking about it carefully, Lu Qing can also imagine why Bai Nantian is like this.
In fact, Bai Nantian can be regarded as a bit simple. In his past career, his entire life experience may be the most important two - training and fighting.
Growing up in the Yunxiao Sect, the largest sect in the Yan Kingdom, he was the son of Tianjiao since he was a child, and was accepted as an apprentice by the high-level master of the sect, and then grew up all the way. He doesn't need to intrigue with others, he is naturally the chief of Yunxiaozong's generation; all the way is full of talent, with elders paving the way, plus his own fighting power is really fierce, he just needs to practice hard, and his strength will naturally increase, and occasionally take some time Traveling around, you will naturally have a strong strength and a high status.
Never needing to think about those messy things, Bai Nantian's own character has gradually developed the kind of attitude that he only cares about cultivation and doesn't care about anything else.
In the face of ordinary people, at most he can only express some basic sense of respect between people. If he wants to do more, it will definitely be impossible.
However, when he showed great strength, especially in the way of the sword, which far surpassed Bai Nantian's imagination, his strong enthusiasm for the Tao would naturally be aroused.
Of course, having said that, Lu Qing could feel that apart from the admiration in Bai Nantian's heart, his biggest thought should be to hope to learn this sword technique from Lu Qing.
For those who are dedicated to the sword, seeing Lu Qing's sky-shattering sword, it is quite normal to want to learn it.
It is impossible to teach,
Unless Bai Nantian is willing to join the Lu family, then...
That's not OK. The holy white sword manual is essentially a kind of exercise that can only be practiced by the golden sky spiritual root. In terms of spiritual root, Bai Nantian does not match this exercise.
Of course, no matter what, Bai Nantian is also the most talented person in Yunxiao Sect today, and it can also be said that he is the youngest Nascent Soul cultivator in the entire Yan Kingdom, and he has saved his life. It's a good relationship, and there is no problem at all.
Along the way, Lu Qing answered many of Bai Nantian's enthusiastic and curious inquiries patiently.
However, this kind of time is not long after all.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the final destination of the trip - Yan Kingdom Palace.
The palace was silent.
At the gate of the palace, several imperial guards tremblingly looked at the giant dragon coming from mid-air, and the two people standing on the dragon's head and floating beside the dragon.
Before, when the two of them and Zou Ziwu were at the entrance of the inner city of Yandu, even ordinary people, no matter how dull their perception, could clearly perceive the fierce battle fluctuations. Not to mention, these guards guarding the gate are all monks at the foundation level.
They clearly knew that if the two people in front of them joined forces, they would completely evaporate if they breathed out casually. What allowed them to continue to stand here, holding weapons and guarding the gate of the palace, was only a sense of loyalty and responsibility.
If you die, you will die, and you must not lose your tolerance.
After all, they represent the face of the royal family.
However, the two of them, Lu Qing, had no intention of dealing with these gate guard soldiers.
no need.
The current Yandu, in terms of defensive strength, is almost an empty city. The large force of the Habayashi Imperial Army was mobilized to the front line of Pingzhou. Zou Ziwu, who led the team, could be fake, but the 30,000 Habayashi Forbidden Army were all fake too? That's unrealistic, and Yun Xiaozong is not really a fool.
After Zou Ziwu was dealt with by Lu Qing, there should be no living person in Yandu who could stop them.
There is no need to break into the current imperial palace.
After all, Yanhuang's breakthrough is in the sky above Yandu, on the artificially built cloud platform.
Of course Lu Qing still remembered the specific location of that platform.
He greeted and flew up with Bai Nantian.
After passing through a layer of clouds, Bai Nantian asked with some doubts: "Here is the breakthrough site of Emperor Yan? But I didn't see anything."
"Those with illusion barriers." Lu Qing stomped his feet while talking.
The dragon soul under his feet, after receiving the instruction, followed the direction of Lu Qing's finger, and spewed out a violent Xingmu sword fire.
The place covered by the dragon fire was originally empty. Bai Nantian still felt a little strange, how could he set fire to it?
But when the flames rushed into the clouds, Bai Nantian saw some clues: after the thick clouds were blown away, a huge square hole was revealed.
The hollowness is consistent with the surrounding environment. It is conceivable that if it hadn't been subjected to a large-scale coverage attack, even if it hit it head-on, I'm afraid it would not be able to tell the difference between this place and the surrounding ones.
Obviously they were not far away from the breakthrough platform, but before Lu Qing launched his attack, Bai Nantian still couldn't see anything.
It's not that Bai Nantian's perception ability is too bad, on the contrary, he is even considered excellent in this aspect among Nascent Soul cultivators. This can only be said to be the illusion barrier that Li Shiwen arranged outside his breakthrough platform, and the level is too high.
At that time, Lu Qing was able to discover the platform hidden by the illusion barrier, purely relying on his own consciousness, he could ignore the terrain, disregard the forbidden law, and move freely, and then flew over the Dayan Palace inch by inch. It took a lot of time to bump in.
However, the flames that Dragon Soul spewed out with all its strength made it impossible for the illusion barrier to continue to deceive people.
The illusion barrier was still exerting its effect with due diligence, but under the impact of powerful force, there was no way to hide the scene inside without any flaws.
Even with the naked eye, one can see what is hidden in that huge square area.
"It seems that Li Shiwen is hiding inside." Bai Nantian excitedly called out the magic sword, and said, "Hurry up and break this formation, and go in to prevent Li Shiwen from breaking through. If he is forcibly interrupted during the breakthrough, Li Shiwen will go halfway if he is not dead." Fate is over, there is definitely no way to do anything to the two of us, our mission is considered complete."
All he was thinking about now was to quickly settle the matter of Yandu, and then he could properly ask Lu Qing for advice on swordsmanship—although he didn't know whether Lu Qing was willing to teach him or not.
But Lu Qing knew that the matter was not that simple, and it was not yet time to say that it could be resolved.
Li Shiwen would not bet on Zou Ziwu whether his breakthrough was successful or not.
That Prime Minister of Great Yan was indeed loyal to Li Shiwen and very talented. Although spiritual roots are relatively common, in terms of practice, talent is important, personal opportunity, hard work, and understanding are also very important. Zou Ziwu is the one who has done a relatively good job in the latter.
But in any case, he is only a monk at the third level of Nascent Soul.
Li Shiwen had done so many coquettish operations before, and the biggest goal was to drag Wei Yun of Yunxiao Sect. It was lucky that this master of Fa Xiangqi was dragged to the front line by General Xia Cang of Wei State, unable to move.
In fact, Wei's Northern Expedition was even more violent than what Li Shiwen had planned when he started planning. This proves that Wei Guo also has his own ambitions in this matter, and it is hard not to worry people.
But then again, objectively speaking, this helped Li Shiwen a lot. The Northern Expedition of Wei State not only captured Weiyun, a master of the Faxiang period, but also performed super-level, allowing Yuan Xiaozong of Yunxiaozong Most of the baby masters also had to stay on the frontline battlefield honestly, and the only one who could be dispatched was Bai Nantian.
Li Shiwen, who was making a breakthrough, was completely ignorant of the external situation. In fact, after Li Shiwen officially made a breakthrough, Zou Ziwu was the person who presided over the promotion of various matters outside.
After realizing that Bai Nantian had entered Yandu alone, Zou Ziwu even felt that His Majesty's breakthrough was a foregone conclusion. The last means left by His Majesty are useless.
But Lu Qing's intervention made everything impossible to talk about.
In fact, after Lu Qing appeared and used the rain of purification to dissolve his greatest means, he felt that he might die.
Although it was a pity to die, he didn't feel panicked when he was dying.
Although he died, His Majesty's breakthrough cannot be interrupted.
He also believed that His Majesty's last resort could stop Lu Qing and Bai Nantian.
...
Lu Qing also knew about Li Shiwen's final method.
After all, before that, in the state of his conscious body, he monitored the Emperor Dayan every day, and his arrangements for him were simply perfect.
When dealing with Zou Ziwu before, for Yu Lu Qing, it could only be regarded as a warm-up activity at best.
Right now, this is Li Shiwen's last guarantee and also his biggest challenge.
The dragon fire continued to spray towards that platform, until the illusion barrier surrounding the entire platform completely failed under the turbulent aura, revealing the lineup inside.
A whole huge metal platform, under the protection of a square light film, floats in the clouds.
This square light film is obviously a very powerful defensive formation.
However, relying on this defensive formation alone, it is impossible to block the two Nascent Soul cultivators for too long, no matter how awesome this formation is.
The formation is powerful, and there is no one to preside over it, and that is also temporary. Unless the levels are too far apart, can two Nascent Soul cultivators be stopped for a few days, a month or two, or a year? For a year, the bombardment was indiscriminate, and the unmanaged formation would have to be broken sooner or later, even if there was a spiritual vein behind it.
Now, there are indeed people behind this formation, but Li Shiwen is the only one...
No, why is there another one?
After the illusion barrier disappeared, behind the translucent defensive mask, Lu Qing and Bai Nantian saw, apart from His Majesty sitting cross-legged in the middle of the platform with his eyes closed and breaking through, on the edge of the platform, Surprisingly, there is another person!
He was wearing a solemn and solemn robe, which was black in color and embroidered with golden dragon patterns, which was exactly the same as the clothes of the emperor of the Yan Dynasty. The crown is worn on the head, and the crown made of jade beads does not move at all.
On the face of this person, he looked like a middle-aged man, and his facial features were slightly similar to Li Shiwen who had his eyes closed. It's just that there is no brilliance in his eyes, and he doesn't look like a living person.
"Who is this? Why is there another person?" Bai Nantian's voice was full of doubts.
Lu Qing's voice sounded faintly: "This is the third emperor of our Great Yan Dynasty."
"Alive?" Bai Nantian's pupils suddenly shrank.
He tried his best to look through his memory, and vaguely remembered that in the records he had read from somewhere, it was mentioned that the third emperor of Dayan, named Li Yunyu, was an out-and-out The top master of the Fa phase period!
In that distant era, the domestic situation of Yan Kingdom was not what it is now. At that time, although Yunxiao Sect had already been established, it was only a local sect in Wuzhou, and even within Wuzhou, it was not regarded as the overlord, far from reaching its current status and level.
At that time in the Yan Kingdom, the imperial court was the most powerful, commanding the seven states of the Yan Kingdom, and the emperor's power could truly be implemented in every inch of the country's land.
Of course, later, with the growing power of the sect and the fact that there were no more masters of the Dharma phase in the royal family of the descendants, the situation of Yan Kingdom became the current situation where the sect dominated , the emperor's authority was compressed.
But... Li Yunyu was at least thousands of years ago, and even a monk at the Dharma Stage could not have lived for such a long time.
Now, what is Li Yunyu he sees?
Bai Nantian couldn't help turning his probing gaze to Lu Qing who was beside him.
"He died a long time ago. This is his legacy." Lu Qing explained to Bai Nantian, a temporary teammate, "It's just that Li Yunyu died in battle, not because his life energy was exhausted. When he died, his dharma The body still maintains a strong strength, and after being repaired by the Li family, it was made into a living corpse."
Seeing that Bai Nantian's expression was a bit strange, Lu Qing added: "However, this living corpse only has a very small spirit left, no ability to think, only basic fighting instinct. Moreover, because there is no complete spirit, it is still so dead. Over the years, the physical activity has declined greatly, and it is impossible to have the strength of the real Dharma phase, so don't worry about it."
After hearing this, Bai Nantian finally breathed a sigh of relief: "If that's the case, then it's okay..."
"But don't be too careless. After all, you were a Dharma figure before you were alive, so you don't know what will happen when you fight. If the pressure is too great, I don't have time to protect you. Be careful yourself, don't die."
The first floor of Yuanying said to the second floor, 'I have no time to protect you'...
Bai Nantian's expression was a little strange, he felt somewhat uncomfortable and unconvinced. But immediately, he remembered the previous battle with Zou Ziwu, especially the sky-shattering sword, so he could only suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart.
The dragon soul under Lu Qing stopped breathing dragon fire. Inside the formation, the ancient emperor just looked at the two people outside with a pair of dull eyes, and there was no movement for the time being.
This stalemate lasted for a while, and the atmosphere froze a bit.
"Why didn't he type it out?" Bai Nantian asked.
"The strength of the magic circle drops below half, and the living corpse will not activate."
"Then what are we waiting for?"
"Wait for my sword."
"Your sword?" Bai Nantian was puzzled for a moment, but then became excited again.
Indeed, he had never seen Lu Qing's weapon. Earlier, when Lu Qing unleashed that sky-shattering sword, he did it empty-handed.
In his mind, top sword repairers will have a beloved sword. Only when the sword is in hand can the strongest strength be exerted.
He couldn't wait to see what Lu Qing's sword would look like.
And this waited for almost a day.
A day later, in Bai Nantian's perception of the two objects, there were two streamers of light flying over from a long distance, and landed in Lu Qing's hands.
It was a pure white sword with a simple shape; the other was a scepter with a dark blue orb fixed on the top of the handle.
"Aren't you a sword cultivator?"
"Who told you that I'm a sword cultivator?" Lu Qing held the sword in his right hand and the stick in his left, and stopped talking nonsense to Bai Nantian, "Let's do it. The defense strength has been reduced to less than half. However, save some strength when fighting, don't be too tired, and you have to deal with living corpses."
"I see."
The two started to fight.
The unmaintained formation is quite strong under the hands of the two of them. After all, it was something Li Shiwen used to protect his breakthrough, and it is normal for the intensity to be high. If there is a serious Nascent Soul cultivator sitting in the town, who can connect to the sixth-order spiritual vein array, if he wants to forcefully break it, it may not be something that can be completed in a few days or a month or two.
But alas, no.
Even if Lu and Bai kept their hands, and used a more healthy way to wear down the strength of the formation, after about three days, the strength of the formation continued to decline, and finally fell to less than half of the critical point.
The two who sensed this, maintained their output while keeping a close eye on Li Yunyu, the ancient emperor.
The eyes of Li Yunyu, the living corpse, did not change, but his body suddenly moved.
He stood up on the edge of the platform, and then, without saying a word, floated up with an expressionless face.
Lu Bai and the two stopped their hands at the same time, watching the Emperor Dayan thousands of years ago, a master of magic, pass through the light film of the defensive formation, and float in front of them out of thin air.
