Chapter 306: Secret Realm Battle Royale

In this sky full of flowing light, there are almost every corner of the imperial capital. Among them are hidden soul-refining masters of various sects, newly promoted geniuses of transformation, and Qi-refining cultivators who are trying to compete for opportunities.

Rays of light cut through the sky and rushed towards the dark and empty sun, like moths flying towards the sun.

Seeing this scene, General Yinjia's eyes were bloodshot. Thirty thousand elite soldiers and the imperial capital's formation could not suppress the soul-refining masters in the cave heaven and blessed land, let alone the cultivators scattered throughout the imperial capital.

Unless Emperor Xia is willing to use the human destiny to suppress them regardless of the consequences, there is absolutely no way to stop these cultivators from going to the Fangcun Secret Realm.

Thinking of this, General Yinjia looked deeply in the direction of the imperial city, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

As many cultivators broke into the Fangcun Secret Realm, the Yinsi Mansion, which had been silent for several days, finally responded.

I saw a ghost king with sharp horns on his head and a huge body appear in the imperial capital.

The ghost king carried a huge and quiet temple on his back, on which hundreds of ghosts and gods in the transformation stage could be vaguely seen. The ghost den had been temporarily isolated from the backlash of heaven and earth since the ancient temple.

The air of the underworld rose to the sky, and the ghost king stepped into the dark sun step by step.

With the departure of the ghost king, the ghost den aura that had been lingering in the underworld mansion had disappeared at this moment, and only two ghosts and gods in the transformation stage stationed around the mansion were left.

Such a scene was enough to prove that the ghosts and gods of the underworld had come out in full force.

The blessed land of the cave, the underworld underworld, and the hermits and scattered cultivators were all seeking to enter the Fangcun Secret Realm to compete for opportunities, but the Great Xia court, as the host, was indifferent to this.

It was not that the Great Xia court was unwilling to compete for the Fangcun Secret Realm, but that the Great Xia court did not have the heritage of the blessed land of the cave since the last spiritual tide era.

The strength of Daxia lies in its status as an orthodox human dynasty, its control over the secular world, and its influence on the entire territory of Daxia.

In the present Jingzhou, relying on the human luck, Daxia can still suppress powerful enemies.

But in the secret realm, Daxia cannot mobilize the human luck, and it has lost its greatest support.

Daxia may have secretly cultivated several gods, but when facing this secret realm where the real people of the spirit refining have set foot, the mere god realm is not enough.

Even because of its identity as the court of Daxia, it may bring some unnecessary crises.

The court of Daxia is aware of this, and apart from reaching an agreement with the underworld to prevent other practitioners from setting foot in the secret realm as much as possible, there is no plan to enter the secret realm.

Having said that, when seeing many cultivators enter the Fangcun secret realm to compete for opportunities, many officials still feel a pity.

Being in the imperial capital but not being controlled by Daxia is a shame for Daxia.

In the palace hall, many officials were discussing the changes in the outside world, but Emperor Xia, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had a calm and composed look.

"Get ready!"

Emperor Xia's indifferent voice sounded.

All the officials were startled, and their eyes revealed deep doubts that were difficult to conceal.

"What start?"

"What does your majesty mean?"

Before everyone understood, Xu Yankuan, the head of the Nine Ministers, stepped forward, holding the imperial edict and reading aloud:

"Since the spiritual tide, disasters have continued in Daxia, and the people are living in misery.

Today's solar eclipse is all caused by the disaster in Daxia. Only by stabilizing the situation in Daxia can the disaster be quelled and the world be clear."

"The underworld has formed an alliance with Daxia. We should re-establish the City God and build a incense and fire domain to rectify the majesty of Daxia.

From now on, Daxia will establish the City God Division and spread the law to the world with the decree of the emperor.

All states and counties will burn incense in the City God Temple and rebuild the incense and fire domain!"

When Xu Yankuan said this, all the civil and military officials in the court were stunned.

The underworld and Daxia had reached an agreement three days ago, and all the ministers in the court naturally knew this.

In their eyes, re-establishing the city gods is an extremely long process, not something that can be done overnight, and Emperor Xia should be cautious and careful not to make any mistakes.

From the alliance with the underworld to the establishment of the city gods, there should be at least several grand court meetings for the emperor and his ministers to discuss.

But who would have thought that Emperor Xia did not discuss it with the emperor and his ministers, and directly threw out the matter of re-establishing the city gods. Judging from Xu Yankuan's attitude, it seems that he has been planning for a long time.

Xu Yankuan vaguely sensed the unfriendly gazes of the ministers, and gritted his teeth and forced himself to speak:

"Since the underworld has agreed to establish the city god, there is no need to discuss this matter again.

The biggest obstacle to re-establishing the city god is the many caves and blessed places outside the imperial capital. Now that the secret realm of Fangcun has been opened, the eyes of the strong from all sides are gathered in the secret realm. It is the perfect time to re-establish the city god."

The ministers immediately raised objections:

"But establishing the city god is not something that can be accomplished by the imperial decree. Once the major caves and blessed places have completed their trip to the secret realm, they will inevitably face a more intense counterattack when they learn of Daxia's actions.

Even entering the secret realm The underworld in the territory may also have opinions about Daxia. "

"Please rest assured, more than a month ago, His Majesty ordered the counties and cities of various states to secretly repair the city god temples.

Most areas in Daxia still retain the belief in the city god, and at that time, it only needs to rekindle the incense and belief through the decree of the Emperor.

This matter has been handed over to the City God Department to monitor various places in Daxia, and strive to implement the re-establishment of the city god as soon as possible.

As long as the city god incense is lit, there will only be the capital city god festival, and then the incense law domain can cover Daxia. "

The officials in the court were stunned at first, and then shocked when they heard this.

Xu Yankuan's words sounded nice, but it was only after careful consideration that we could see how big the loopholes were.

Although the Fangcun Secret Realm was magical, it was only a secret realm after all. Normally, the trials in the secret realm lasted from one month to ten days.

In the shortest time of ten days, it was almost impossible to light up thousands of city god temples in Daxia.

Because the prerequisite for lighting the incense in the city god temples was to select the city god.

The city god often went through multiple inspections, and the position of the city god could only be established after verifying the character of the city god. It was definitely not something that could be accomplished by just worshipping a random person.

When selecting the position of the city god, the interests of the local nobles and the Daxia court were often involved. Even with pressure from the city god department, it was impossible to make a decision in one word, so it must be a long process.

Xu Yankuan was confident that he could light up all the city god temples within ten days. There was only one possibility, that is, the Great Xia court gave up the right to decide on the selection of the city god and handed over the position of the city god to the local noble families in exchange for support.

With the support of the local noble families, the work of lighting up the city god temples can be completed in the shortest time.

Although the city gods cannot disobey the orders of the City God Department and Emperor Xia, and there is no risk of betrayal, the city gods are incense ghosts after all. If their nature cannot be confirmed, they are easily corrupted by the incense faith and cause chaos among ghosts and gods.

This method is to exchange the future safety of Great Xia for the opportunity to quickly establish the incense law domain in a short period of time.

"Your Majesty, this move is sowing disaster for Daxia!"

"Xu Yankuan's lies are misleading the people. Please kill Xu Yankuan to rectify the government!"

"Once the disaster of ghosts and gods arises, Xu Yankuan will become the sinner of Daxia!"

Emperor Xia on the dragon throne watched all this with cold eyes and said indifferently:

"How dare you!"

"This matter has been approved by me, not the responsibility of Xu Taichang alone."

"The spiritual tide is a world of great contention. What Daxia is fighting for now is the opportunity to regain control of the situation. , there can be no delay.

All the positions of the city gods are controlled by me alone. Even if there are demons and gods causing trouble, I will suppress them. You don't have to worry. "

"This matter has been decided. The monks of the City God Department have already gone to various places in Daxia to prepare to light the city god temples.

From now on, the imperial capital will start to suppress all disturbances. Seven days later is a good day. We should offer sacrifices to the capital city god to control the incense and law domain of Daxia!"

Emperor Xia got up and left, leaving only the ministers in the hall looking at each other in bewilderment.

In the Yangxin Palace, Xu Yankuan stood in the empty hall, looking at the emperor hidden in the shadows on the dragon throne.

I don't know when it started, the Imperial Observatory no longer went to court or entered the palace, and even the person who entered the Yangxin Palace to discuss important matters was replaced by Xu Yankuan, the newly promoted Taichang.

This should be a supreme honor in the eyes of others, but Xu Yankuan was inexplicably frightened in the Yangxin Palace.

"What has my Princess Tianxing been doing these days?"

Emperor Xia's voice sounded slowly, with a bit of indescribable hoarseness in his majesty, as if the sound was not made by his throat.

Xu Yankuan was startled and lowered his head to respond:

"Since the meeting at the Yinsi Mansion, Princess Tianxing has been reading books about the great ceremony of humanity, seemingly preparing for the great ceremony of the alliance between the court and the Yinsi later."

"The great ceremony of humanity?"

Emperor Xia's voice was a bit sarcastic, but when his eyes hidden in the shadows saw the fire of humanity rising from the Wuxuan Pavilion, the anger in his eyes became more intense.

"What do you think would happen if Princess Tianxing was deposed and thrown into the Heavenly Prison on the grounds of Xia Yunqiu's impoliteness at this time?"

Xu Yankuan was startled and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty! Although the date of the grand ceremony to worship the City God has been set, the matter still needs the assistance of the underworld.

The alliance between Daxia and the underworld has not yet been completed. If we take action against Xia Yunqiu at this moment, the underworld may be dissatisfied, and it may ruin your majesty's great cause."

The anger in Emperor Xia's eyes gradually dissipated after hearing this.

"Then, wait for some time."

Then, Emperor Xia's eyes turned to another direction.

"Among those who went to the Fangcun Secret Realm, have you seen the figure of the Supreme Taoist?"

"In addition to the Supreme Taoist, only Xue Mingzhi is qualified to go to the Fangcun Secret Realm in the Xue Mansion, but there is no movement in the Xue Mansion at the moment."

Emperor Xia's eyes became deeper and deeper.

"Supreme Taoist, what is he doing?"

In the entire imperial capital, only the unfathomable Supreme Taoist could make him so cautious.

The next moment, Emperor Xia's eyes suddenly paused, and saw two escape lights in the Xue Mansion suddenly rise into the sky and fly towards the dark sun.

The uneasiness that had been lingering in Emperor Xia's heart was completely dissipated. The Supreme Daoist's entry into the Fangcun Secret Realm meant that the other party would not be able to intervene in the affairs of the imperial capital in a short period of time, which made Emperor Xia look happy.

"Good!"

Accompanied by a space distortion, the dark scene in front of him was replaced by an unfamiliar desert.

Xue Mingzhi looked around, but found that in this secret space, both the divine consciousness and other secret methods of spying were suppressed, and even the sight was limited by space.

All he could see was a golden desert around him, and a few rays of light falling in the distance.

Looking up at the sky, he saw a big sun occupying half of the sky. The golden sunlight had never been so dazzling, and the scorching heat seemed to burn people to death.

"Is this the Fangcun Secret Realm?"

"Isn't it said that secret realms are usually small, and the rules are incomplete and can only operate according to specific logic?

Why is the Fangcun Secret Realm in front of me almost the same as the outside world?"

Xue Mingzhi wiped the sweat that began to gather on his forehead, stared at the sun and said:

"Even this round of sun is no different from the outside world. Even because it is confined to the secret realm, the sun's true meaning it carries is far more blazing than the sun in the Xuanhuang Realm.

Could this be the trace left by the legendary Donghua Shaoyang Emperor?"

While speaking, Xue Mingzhi subconsciously looked at Shen Yuan beside him.

Facing the sun's true sun so close, Shen Yuan, dressed in white, was still calm and indifferent, completely ignoring this round of sun.

Before this, Shen Yuan had been staying in Langhuan Garden, and seemed to have no intention of exploring the secrets of Fangcun Secret Realm.

It was not until he took the initiative to invite Langhuan Garden that Shen Yuan accepted his invitation and stepped into the secret realm.

Remembering that Shen Yuan came to explore the secrets of Fangcun Secret Realm because of his invitation, Xue Mingzhi bowed slightly and asked Shen Yuan curiously:

"Have you ever heard of the name of Fangcun Secret Realm?"

Shen Yuan showed a bit of strangeness on his face.

"I have heard a little bit."

Xue Mingzhi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and asked curiously:

"Then do you know what is so magical about Fangcun Secret Realm that caused the underworld to give up the incense and faith of several states and the position of the city god?"

"Emperor Shaoyang of Donghua, Emperor Fengdu, Tianzun of Daomen, and the strongest who created Fangcun Secret Realm against time and space, are these true?"

Listening to Xue Mingzhi's words, Shen Yuan couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly.

In order to better promote Fangcun Secret Realm, Shen Yuan was determined to blow it to death, and stuffed all the Daluo titles he could involve into it, which really fooled many people.

But he couldn't tell Xue Mingzhi that Donghua Shaoyang Emperor, Fengdu Emperor, Daomen Tianzun, and the creator of the secret realm were all the same person, right?

His eyelids twitched slightly, Shen Yuan coughed and said casually:

"You will know after the trial begins."

"Trial?"

Xue Mingzhi didn't understand.

At this moment, the stars in the sky of Fangcun Secret Realm gathered together and turned into a series of Taoist texts imprinted on the sky.

"It is detected that the number of practitioners in the secret realm exceeds a thousand, and the secret realm trial is started."

"After the secret realm trial is started, the square inch secret realm will gradually be swallowed by the endless void, and practitioners must escape to a safe area within a limited time.

Practitioners who fall into the endless void or are seriously injured during this process can choose to withdraw voluntarily. After losing the qualification for the trial, the secret realm will teleport them to the outside world.

The Dao Mark disaster left by the Emperor and the Dao Master will erupt in random areas within the secret realm. After the disaster, the true meaning of the Great Dao can also be nurtured. Risks and benefits coexist. If you accidentally enter the Dao Mark disaster, you cannot withdraw voluntarily. Please do what you can.

The square inch secret realm will gradually shrink, and only one person will be left as the winner in the end."
