Chapter 491 The Son of Fortune (Part 1)

Tianwu District, Zhuanwu Pavilion.

Yang Zhiyuan only felt that his experience over the past six years was just like a dream, from hell to heaven.

His birth background is quite special, from the royal family of the Tianyuan Dynasty.

Although his father, "Yongwang" Yang Jixin, failed in the struggle for the throne,

he still held an important position in the imperial army and held real power because of his strong strength.

However, his status in the family is not noble, he is just an ordinary bastard.

His mother's status is even lower, and it seems that she is just a brothel actor in the capital.

Such an origin makes his status in the family very delicate and embarrassing.

Because his mother died early, he lacked the love and protection of his relatives since he was a child.

At first, Yongwang may have treated him well out of guilt, and even often took him with him and played with him in the palace.

This also led to Yang Zhiyuan's great respect and gratitude for his father all the time.

However, as time went on,

Yongwang's attitude towards him began to change, and he also began to gradually alienate him.

Yang Zhiyuan still remembers that the last time he saw his father was when he was five years old.

That day, his father just glanced at him from a distance and turned his head away coldly.

His mother's humble status made people in the palace look down on him.

Even though he had the title of "young master", he still suffered all kinds of bullying and cold treatment in front of the servants in the palace.

Such experiences undoubtedly made him understand the fickleness of the world since he was a child, and made him understand the value of power and the indifference of the family.

Withholding monthly salary and food are just minor.

Even the housekeeper in the palace was secretly ordered by the princess to cut off Yang Zhiyuan's path of cultivation.

He had no contact with any Taoism at all, and even no chance to test his roots.

Although he lost his mother in his childhood and his father's indifference made him have to endure the contemptuous eyes of everyone in the palace,

Yang Zhiyuan did not sink, but his character became more resolute and strong.

He was raised by an old man who chopped wood in the mansion.

This old man who chopped wood had an extraordinary past. He was once an important official in the enemy country of the Tianyuan Dynasty, but that small country had been destroyed by the Tianyuan Dynasty.

The old man's cultivation was taken away by Prince Yong, and he was left in the mansion as a lowly servant, allowing others to insult him.

In such an environment, the old man who chopped wood felt that he had some sympathy with Yang Zhiyuan, so he took the initiative to take care of him.

Because the old man who chopped wood knew clearly about the surveillance and restrictions on them in the mansion, he did not teach Yang Zhiyuan how to practice.

On the contrary, he simply taught Yang Zhiyuan to read and read many Taoist classics.

Although these Taoist classics have been circulated for countless years, although they do not contain direct methods of cultivation, no one in the mansion pays too much attention to these classics.

Yang Zhiyuan's goal gradually changed to aspire to get a name through studying and taking the imperial examinations,

to fight for the reputation of his deceased mother and to be included in the Yang family's ancestral tomb.

As for the Tianyuan Dynasty, Xie Que did not know much about it.

All we know is that it is a force with three venerables, attached to the Wheel of Revolving.

Although it is not the top, it is also a first-class force in the entire continent.

And Yang Zhiyuan's father, Yong Wang Yang Jixin, is a hegemonic venerable who has realized the subtleties.

In the third year of Zen Wu, he took the initiative to be assigned to the rule of the Buddhist Kingdom.

And now, the ruler of the Tianyuan Dynasty, Yang Tai, known as the "Kaiyuan Emperor", has also chosen to enter the Buddhist Kingdom for "further study".

He bought and opened up his own cave in the outer city area, and is striving for a deeper level of cultivation.

Yang Zhiyuan's father, Yong Wang Yang Jixin, also followed Yang Tai.

Almost all the powerful people in the Tianyuan Dynasty who have some financial resources have set their sights on the Buddhist Kingdom.

This phenomenon is not limited to the Tianyuan Dynasty.

In fact, countless forces have followed suit.

They have invested resources and forces in the Buddhist Kingdom because the spiritual energy there is so rich that it is irresistible.

Even a strong person at the level of a venerable can greatly improve his cultivation speed in the environment of the Buddha Kingdom.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.

Therefore, a certain degree of emptiness appeared in the Tianyuan Dynasty.

But this is not an isolated case. The trend of the entire cultivation world is the same. Everyone flocked to the Buddha Kingdom to seek faster cultivation progress.

The population growth in the Buddha Kingdom is undoubtedly good news for Xiushan Zhenjun.

He is happy to see it happen, because every head tax makes the treasury of the Buddha Kingdom more abundant.

Xiushan Zhenjun's way of collecting head taxes is also quite skillful.

That is, the poor are fixed amount, and the strong are percentage real damage.

Although the masters of the Tianyuan Dynasty felt distressed, all the treasures accumulated by the dynasty for tens of thousands of years were lost.

But when they thought of the cultivation environment in the Buddha Kingdom, they chose to enter the Buddha Kingdom even if they gritted their teeth, and then opened a cave in the outer city of the imperial city at a large price.

Yang Zhiyuan also heard about the Buddha Kingdom and deeply agreed with its concept.

That was his ideal heaven on earth!

Everyone is equal, regardless of their social status, and everyone has the opportunity to practice and improve themselves.

The classics he had read since childhood and everything he had experienced had formed this concept for him.

He believed that there should be no hierarchy in this world.

Opportunities should be equal!

In his heart, cultivation was not a privilege of the nobility, nor a tool to ensure his rule, but a right that everyone should have.

This belief made Yang Zhiyuan yearn for the Buddha Kingdom even more strongly. He longed to experience all the beauty of the Buddha Kingdom in person one day.

However, reality is always cruel.

Yang Zhiyuan knew clearly that with his current situation, going to the Buddha Kingdom was just an unattainable dream.

Not to mention that he was just a weak young man,

the travel expenses, head fees, and journey were all problems that he had not solved.

But Yang Zhiyuan was not discouraged by this, he chose another way.

He could only choose to continue studying, Buddhist scriptures, Confucianism, Taoist scriptures, laws...

He was extremely hungry to fill his mind with all the knowledge that could be involved.

In the winter of the third year of Chanwu, Yang Zhiyuan was still immature, only thirteen years old.

In this cold winter, the old man who chopped wood suddenly broke out because of the long-hidden injury in his body, making him unable to continue to persevere, and finally passed away quietly in this winter.

This old man was once the True Lord of Yangshen, and he was a highly respected existence no matter where he was, but his departure was so silent.

Before the old man passed away, he left a small book to Yang Zhiyuan. This booklet did not involve any Taoism, but it was related to martial arts.

According to the old man's last words, he had mistakenly entered a place called "Ruguo" hundreds of years ago.

Among them, the "Emperor Confucian" is the second person in the name of the current Buddhist country, that is, Tianfo Zhao Yuan.

Martial arts are prosperous in Ruguo. Although there is not much development, it is also good.

And this "White Whale Body Refining Fist" came from Ruguo.

According to the content of the booklet, Yang Zhiyuan began to practice martial arts secretly and carefully.

He often ran to the mountains, under the pretext of chopping wood, to kill some simple blood food such as rabbits for himself to nourish his body.

Everyone in the mansion thought that Yang Zhiyuan just couldn't stand the cold and went to chop wood, so they didn't think too much about it.

But what they didn't expect was that Yang Zhiyuan had an extraordinary talent for martial arts and had entered the realm in just three days.

And this was because Yang Zhiyuan was born with a weak foundation and a weak body.

At that time, the one in charge of Yongwang Mansion was Yongwang's wife, Princess Qing.

Princess Qing knew that her talent for cultivation was not good, and she exhausted countless precious materials to barely reach the realm of Jiujie Zhenren.

Fortunately, Princess Qing had a good family, so she was able to ascend to her current position.

Due to the high head tax, Princess Qing did not follow Yongwang to the Buddhist country.

Instead, she stayed in the palace and held power alone.

Princess Qing's hatred for Yang Zhiyuan was not a day's cold.

The "Daluo Jixin Dao" practiced by Yongwang Yang Jixin is an extremely cruel and rare secret method in Buddhism.

It requires practitioners to eliminate desires and emotions, and turn all seven emotions and six desires into a sense of emptiness, so as to achieve absolute extinction of the mind.

Once a practitioner can completely cut off thousands of emotional threads, he can directly reach a broad road that points to the subtle, and reach the state of unity between the mind and all things.

Although Yang Zhiyuan's mother "Qingyi" is nominally just an actress in a brothel, her true identity is also extraordinary.

She is a Buddhist walker in "Taiye Temple", a subsidiary force of the Wheel of Revolving Dao.

Even Qingyi is just a pseudonym.

The "Guhuan Tianmo Dance" she practices is specifically designed to collect men's emotions.

It is for this reason that Qingyi chose such a place of debauchery as her place of practice.

And Yang Jixin's last emotional thread was accidentally linked to Qingyi.

He could feel that his heart, which had not been moved for thousands of years because of practicing the Daluo Jixin Dao, was actually shaken by this humble brothel girl.

Afterwards, Yang Jixin welcomed Qingyi into the palace in a grand manner.

After Qingyi gave birth to a son for him, Yang Jixin finally saw the existence of the last emotional thread.

He was a ruthless and indifferent seeker of the truth, and he also chose to kill his wife to prove the truth and cut off the emotional ties!

Yang Jixin achieved the truth,

but Qingyi's posthumous son survived, that is, Yang Zhiyuan.

At first, Yang Zhiyuan didn't know such a story.

He just thought that his mother died of normal illness.

But he didn't expect that Princess Qing was extremely cruel.

Seeing that the old man who chopped wood was dead, she planned to take Yang Zhiyuan's life directly.

As winter passed, Yang Zhiyuan's martial arts practice had already reached the pinnacle of martial arts master.

He was a little confused, and even he didn't know how he practiced.

This seemed a little too fast than what he knew.

He had never seen anyone practicing martial arts so fast.

And the content of the White Whale Body Refining Fist in this book ended here.

He could feel that this was just the end of the book, not himself.

As for the content behind, it was how to break the Dantian and condense the acupoints, but there was nothing in this book.

However, Yang Zhiyuan was gifted, and he felt that he could continue to accumulate blood and strengthen his body.

So he continued to practice.

In March of the fourth year of Chanwu, Princess Qing felt the changes in Yang Zhiyuan's body shape and his aura.

But he didn't take it seriously. Even if he practiced some simple martial arts, what achievements could he make in a few months?

However, Princess Qing didn't want to drag it on any longer. She decided to take action when Yang Zhiyuan went up the mountain to chop wood.

She randomly assigned a servant in the mansion who was already a three-tribulation real person, and thought it was a must-kill situation!

What Princess Qing didn't expect was that Yang Zhiyuan was no longer the same as before.

With a terrifying blood and energy comparable to that of a martial saint, Yang Zhiyuan had a crushing advantage over the three-tribulation real person.

But his compassion did not let Yang Zhiyuan choose to kill the three-tribulation servant. He just asked about the fact that the person who wanted to kill him was Princess Qing.

Yang Zhiyuan was very confused about this. He always respected this lady.

Although she was sarcastic to herself, she had never lacked etiquette.

Yang Zhiyuan adhered to his own ideas and went to the palace to ask clearly.

Princess Qing thought that the servant's mission had failed, but she didn't expect Yang Zhiyuan to choose to fall into the trap.

Princess Qing was overjoyed, and she directly asked a guard at the level of Yangshen Zhenjun to break Yang Zhiyuan's limbs, pick his meridians, and destroy his Dantian.

However, Yang Zhiyuan was determined, and even in such a desperate situation, he still chose to know everything.

Princess Qing was in a good mood, so she told him everything about his parents.

After hearing this, Yang Zhiyuan couldn't let it go.

He didn't understand why his father could kill someone he loved so decisively?

Princess Qing told Yang Zhiyuan that Prince Yong was heartless and had only herself and the dynasty in his heart. Even if it was his son, Prince Yong could kill him without hesitation.

Yang Zhiyuan found it hard to imagine that although he had a bad life in these years,

he had always framed the beautiful image of his father in his childhood memories.

But he didn't expect that everything was just an illusion.

Princess Qing felt very happy watching Yang Zhiyuan gradually despair.

In the past, she and Qingyi didn't get along.

In addition, Qingyi's cultivation level was more than one head higher than hers, which led to Princess Qing always holding a grudge against Yiran.

After Qingyi's death, this resentment did not subside, but was transferred to Yang Zhiyuan.

But at this moment, she looked at Yang Zhiyuan's somewhat calm eyes, and Princess Qing was a little horrified.

She immediately ordered her men to kill Yang Zhiyuan.

But unexpectedly, a curse seal sealed in Yang Zhiyuan's body before Qingyi's death broke out.

A top Zhenjun's life-threatening attack instantly destroyed most of the palace.

Princess Qing didn't have a big deal because she carried a magic weapon, but she was also in disgrace.

She was extremely angry, but she didn't find Yang Zhiyuan.

So, she decisively issued a hunting order.

At this moment, Yang Zhiyuan was also teleported to the deep forest behind the palace by the teleportation technique hidden in his mother's curse seal. (End of this chapter)
