Chapter 305 Solar Eclipse

Just a few hours after Xia Yunqiu's negotiation with the underworld ended, the news of the Fangcun Secret Realm spread quickly throughout the imperial capital.

The reason for this situation may be that the ministers deliberately leaked the secret in order to retaliate against the underworld ghosts and gods, or someone wanted to muddy the waters to gain greater benefits.

But no matter which case, it was impossible to stop the spread of the news.

The noble families, merchants, and casual cultivators, almost all well-informed practitioners knew in just a few hours that there was a Fangcun Secret Realm that was about to be opened in the imperial capital.

With the spread of the Fangcun Secret Realm, the whole process of Xia Yunqiu's negotiation with the underworld also spread throughout the imperial capital.

Many people vividly described what happened in the underworld mansion, and their words were so sincere that they seemed to have experienced the whole thing personally.

For the vast majority of low-level practitioners and ordinary people, the existence of the Fangcun Secret Realm has little to do with them. Instead, Xia Yunqiu's negotiation with the underworld ghosts and gods is more eye-catching.

Xia Yunqiu saved the day and safeguarded the interests of Daxia, which has become the consensus of most people. More and more people are beginning to recognize the newly conferred Princess Tianxing.

On the other hand, Emperor Xia, who has not shown up during the entire negotiation, has a more complicated evaluation of him by many spectators.

Some people think that Emperor Xia is bearing humiliation and playing a big game with the underworld.

But more people think that Emperor Xia's promise to the underworld is completely a loss of power and humiliation of the country. If Xia Yunqiu had not saved the day and offered the Fangcun Secret Realm to settle the underworld, one-third of the incense domain would have buried the hidden danger of collapse for the Daxia Dynasty.

Some radicals even claimed that Emperor Xia was not worthy of sitting in that position.

If it were in normal times, the court would have taken action long ago if Emperor Xia was discussed on such a large scale.

But now all the energy of the Daxia court is focused on the Fangcun Secret Realm. The two Luofeng Six Heavenly Gods took the initiative to break into the palace to find Emperor Xia for an explanation for the leak.

After learning about the existence of the Fangcun Secret Realm, many cave paradises outside the imperial capital also showed an eager attitude, which led Emperor Xia to mobilize the strong men of Daxia to monitor the sects outside the imperial capital at all times.

Compared with these troubles that were enough to shake Daxia, the discussion of Emperor Xia by the lower classes was simply a trivial matter.

Even the imperial envoys and censors who were responsible for supervising public opinion ignored these things intentionally or unintentionally.

The Imperial Envoy Doctor, one of the three officials, was a participant in the meeting of the Yinsi Mansion. After the meeting, the Imperial Envoy Doctor took the initiative to enter the palace and scolded Emperor Xia for his promise to the Yinsi, saying that he shook the foundation of the country.

Emperor Xia was furious and forcibly dismissed the Imperial Envoy Doctor. The Imperial Envoys and censors were all subordinates of the Imperial Envoy Doctor. They were dissatisfied with Emperor Xia's actions and naturally did not want to be involved at this time to help Emperor Xia suppress public opinion.

In this way, the words about Emperor Xia's immorality, loss of power and humiliation of the country gradually spread from the imperial capital to the whole of Daxia at an extraordinary speed.

However, compared to the ordinary people and low-level cultivators who were just watching the show, the focus of the Daxia high-level officials and the cave paradise was obviously different.

Time passed, and three days had passed since the Yinsi meeting.

Three days ago, the news of the Fangcun Secret Realm was leaked, and the various sects used communication methods to send the news back to the cave paradise.

In the following three days, strong people from the cave paradise began to gather towards the imperial capital.

Even on the Yinsi side, another team of ghosts and gods stepped into the land of Jingzhou to support the Suzaku and White Tiger in the imperial capital.

The number of unfamiliar faces in the imperial capital market increased rapidly, and many sect masters no longer cared about the imperial capital formation, and left the sect residence outside the imperial capital and stepped into the imperial capital.

The number of Qi training practitioners in the market was several times more than before, and even the rarely seen great cultivators of the transformation of the spirit gradually showed their whereabouts, and the entire imperial capital had almost undergone earth-shaking changes.

Faced with the rapidly increasing number of cultivators from various sects in the imperial capital, some dignitaries proposed to wait until the solar eclipse appeared in the Fangcun Secret Realm, and then activate the imperial capital formation to catch all the cultivators from the sects in one fell swoop.

This statement was supported by many dignitaries, but some people believed that this move would not harm the foundation of the sect in the cave paradise, but would completely anger the sect.

Once the rules of the world are gradually restored, more powerful people from the sect will retaliate against Daxia without any bottom line, which will inevitably lead to a lose-lose situation.

It is precisely because of such concerns that the Daxia court can only turn a blind eye to the gathering of cultivators from the sects.

Just as the outside world was turbulent, the Langhuan Garden in the Xue Mansion was unusually calm.

Shen Yuan was still sitting in front of the stone table, and the micro black hole of Luozi Tianyuan quietly disturbed the space, constantly capturing the rhythm of this world, as if to completely integrate into this world.

He has been sitting here for three days.

Since the news of Fangcun Secret Realm spread three days ago, Shen Yuan has been accumulating strength to prepare to open the secret realm three days later.

Shen Yuan had already planned to invite all forces in Daxia to join the Fangcun Secret Realm with the help of Xia Yunqiu and the ghosts and gods of the underworld.

No one would have thought that the so-called incense belief and the position of the city god were just a cover, and the real purpose of the underworld and Xia Yunqiu was just to spread the secret realm of Fangcun.

Even shaking the foundation of Emperor Xia's reputation and helping Xia Yunqiu control more human destiny were just some incidental small means.

With the help of this alliance between the underworld and Daxia, the reputation of Fangcun Secret Realm has spread throughout the world, and the Daxia court, the blessed land of the cave, and even the demon clan in the demon realm and the four rivers of water have all made changes.

In the past three days alone, Shen Yuan's Yang Shen sensed that more than five refining gods who used unknown means to suppress their cultivation had entered the imperial capital.

And this was only what Shen Yuan sensed. More refining gods from large sects had secret methods to protect themselves, and the simple Yang Shen perception could not detect their existence at all.

Even if it was just this part of the cultivators who appeared at the moment, it was enough for Shen Yuan to meet the most basic requirements of the secret realm trial.

It can be said that Shen Yuan has completed most of this side quest.

"However, what I expect is not just to complete the task to the minimum!"

Consciousness gradually returned to the body, and Shen Yuan, who had been sitting for three days, slowly raised his head and looked up at the sky.

The morning sun that shone on the Xuanhuang Realm for countless years was still hanging high in the sky, and infinite light and heat crossed the boundless starry sky and sprinkled on the earth.

"It's time."

Shen Yuan slowly stood up from the stone table, and his breath quietly changed with his movements.

The divine power of driving away gods was in operation, and the majesty of the divine decree enveloped the entire Langhuan Garden. At the same time, the incomplete status of the Emperor of Fengdu was quietly activated.

The white robe on Shen Yuan was shrouded by the rich power of the divine way, turning into a golden red robe different from the Fengdu Emperor's robe.

The pattern of the Great Sun Golden Crow was woven on this robe, and the Golden Crow with spiritual essence flowing on it wanted to break free from the shackles of the divine robe and descend into the world.

On the head was a glazed crown, and the light of the stars in the sky was precipitated on each glazed bead, and the golden gem at the top of the crown seemed to be carved by the sun, and its mighty power illuminated all realms.

As early as several months ago, Shen Yuan could use the divine power of driving away gods to activate the power of the sun star, and with the origin of the divine way, he could disguise himself as the Emperor of Donghua.

After Shen Yuan controlled the incomplete status of the Emperor of Fengdu, with the blessing of the status of the Emperor of the divine way, Shen Yuan further evolved the divine power of the Emperor of Donghua to the extreme.

Emperor Donghua Shaoyang has fallen thousands of years ago. There is no Emperor Donghua in this world. Only Shen Yuan carries the divine power of driving gods and the status of Emperor of Shinto. He is the person closest to Emperor Donghua in this world.

Even if the gods of heaven descend to the world, they will only think that Emperor Donghua is alive when they see Shen Yuan at this moment.

The source of incense and Shinto flows around Shen Yuan, and all the glory and visions of Shinto are gathered in Langhuan Garden.

With his left hand behind his back, Shen Yuan looked directly at the blazing sun above the sky and slowly raised his right hand.

With his five fingers open, Shen Yuan's palm clenched forward, as if he wanted to catch the sun far above the sky.

"Sun Star, hide!"

As the magnificent decree carrying the majesty of the Emperor of Shinto fell, the almost broken Sun Star trembled slightly in the boundless starry sky far above the heavens.

The brilliance that had illuminated the worlds for countless years stagnated slightly, and the shadow of the sun star projected towards the Xuanhuang world was briefly suppressed by an invisible big hand.

If the projection of the sun star descending on the worlds was forcibly suppressed by the cultivation of magical powers, it would involve the Sun Avenue of the Heavens, and even the immortal golden immortal would find it difficult to do it.

But in this world, Emperor Donghua Shaoyang fell and the sun star was ownerless. In addition, Shen Yuan used the authority of the divine power of driving gods to command the sun star, and achieved his goal in a tricky way.

As the light of the sun star stagnated for a moment, everyone in the Xuanhuang world could see an extremely terrifying scene.

The sun that had hung high in the Xuanhuang world for countless years gradually dimmed, as if it was covered by a big hand. After just a few breaths, only a golden ring remained.

The whole world suddenly fell into darkness, the sun's true fire disappeared, and the cold air of the Taiyin rose above the earth, as if the whole world had fallen into a deathly silence.

In the imperial capital, the arrival of the solar eclipse made everyone fall into a brief silence.

A moment later, the sound of unbelievable exclamation almost resounded throughout the imperial capital.

"The rumor is true, there is really a solar eclipse!"

"Princess Tianxing is not lying!"

"The observatory monitors the celestial phenomena all the time, and it has long been confirmed that there will be no solar eclipses within ten years. Today's solar eclipse reveals something unusual."

"Since the solar eclipse is true, then the matter involving Emperor Donghua, Emperor Fengdu, and a Taoist Tianzun in the Fangcun Secret Realm must also be true!"

As the imperial orders came out from the palace, the beacon towers were lit, and the imperial capital formation left over from generations of human dynasties slowly opened.

The imperial capital formation is not an ordinary formation. It is based on the dynasty's luck and the human luck, and is not affected by the incomplete rules of heaven and earth.

As the formation opened, teams of soldiers wearing rune armor walked through the streets, and the entire imperial capital fell into a state of martial law.

In addition to the imperial city guarded by the imperial guards, the most heavily guarded place was the imperial capital market.

A full 30,000 troops wearing rune armor were guarding outside the imperial capital market, and nearly half of them were elite soldiers who had entered the realm of refining essence.

So many soldiers used battle formations to guide the imperial capital's great power formation, which was enough to suppress all the strong men in the imperial capital market.

The dim imperial capital market was still brightly lit, and many practitioners gathered in the attics that symbolized the major cave heavens and blessed places.

Everyone looked at the sun with only a halo left in the sky, and their eyes showed unprecedented caution.

In the treasure pavilion of Danshan Chishuitian, an old man with no aura floating around him, like a dead tree, turned his turbid eyes and slowly said:

"This solar eclipse phenomenon does not affect the surrounding areas of the imperial capital, but the entire Xuanhuang Realm is shrouded in the solar eclipse.

This is enough to prove that the power behind the Fangcun Secret Realm is far beyond our cognition, and what Princess Tianxing said is not false."

"The Emperor of Shinto and the Heavenly Venerable of Dao, so many high-ranking beings are involved. Who is the one behind this Fangcun Secret Realm?"

As he spoke, a trace of awe finally rose in the old man's turbid eyes.

At the place where the old man made his move, a young man in the early stage of transformation bowed and saluted:

"The Xia Emperor obviously realized this. The top leaders of Daxia had already reached a consensus with the underworld, using the imperial capital formation and elite troops to block the imperial capital market, allowing only people from Daxia and ghosts from the underworld to enter the Fangcun Secret Realm.

The imperial capital formation combined with 30,000 rune armored soldiers, even if Elder Gu took action, there would be great risks."

Elder Gu smiled coldly, and looked at the other sect treasure pavilions in the market.

"The Secret Realm of Fangcun is very involved. I have come to Danshan Chishuitian in person, so how can other blessed places of caves and heavens not be prepared?

If it weren't for the fact that the Great Immortal could not survive the three thousand years of dryness, I would have no doubt that a Great Immortal has come here."

As soon as these words came out, the young man in the early stage of the Spiritualization looked happy.

At this moment, all the practitioners above the Spiritualization suddenly looked up at the solar eclipse above the sky.

As strong men close to the upper limit of this world, they all felt that after the sun's brilliance was swallowed by the solar eclipse, it seemed that something replaced the sun that once hung high above the sky.

In the darkness that swallowed the light, it seemed that a black sun was slowly gestating, like the first world interpreting the infinite mysterious Taoist treasures.

"The Secret Realm of Fangcun is open!"

Accompanied by a cry of surprise, a beam of light suddenly flew into the sky from the imperial capital market.

Outside the imperial city market, the silver-armored general saw this and shouted with a seal in his hand:

"No flying!"

The invisible array pattern combined with the human destiny suppressed the escaping light, and 30,000 soldiers in rune armor held weapons, and the killing spirit of the military rose to the sky.

"Get out of here!"

It was as if thunder roared through the earth, and a golden body like the scorching sun appeared between the sky and the earth, and a giant red-gold hand clenched its fist and smashed the gathering array pattern.

It was as if the power of the sky collapsed, and the large array formed by 30,000 soldiers suddenly trembled, and the entire imperial city market was like a dragon turning over, and the colliding Yang Shen power tore the earth apart in an instant.

The sky above the imperial city began to gather with disaster clouds, and the Yang Shen showed that his full strength had exceeded the boundaries of this world, and once he appeared, he would be punished by heaven.

His own strength had not shaken the imperial capital formation. The refining spirit master who made the move was not afraid and said loudly:

"Are you going to sit back and watch Daxia and the underworld monopolize the secret realm?"

As soon as the voice fell, a series of escaping lights rose into the sky and manifested the Yangshen Dharma. Several refining spirit masters made full efforts at this moment, as if the nine suns forcibly tore the imperial capital formation covering the imperial capital market.

"How dare you, cultivators from the blessed land?"

The silver-armored general was furious, but the refining spirit master who made the move ignored him and then turned into a stream of light and rose into the sky.

As the escaping lights overlapped with the black sun, all the escaping lights seemed to be swallowed by the sun that looked like a black hole.

The square inch secret realm, open!

A moment later, the sky above the imperial capital was full of streams of light!
