Chapter 281 All Nations Gather Together, a Peak Gathering, I Want to Be the Master of the World, Not Just the Middle-Earth World
Jiayuguan is located in the west of Dayan and is a majestic pass.
After hundreds of years of repairs, it is not just a simple city gate, but with supporting facilities, it has become a cluster of cities where people live, connected together.
To the north is a cliff thousands of feet high, called Wankong Cliff, which extends from the ground to the ground, and an extinct volcano can be vaguely seen.
At the bottom of the volcano is a set of crimson lava rivers, rolling and flowing. The firelight emitted from the river makes the black stone walls reflect a layer of red light patterns.
The location of Jinwu Kingdom is just east of the volcano.
The fire source for the forging tools used in Foundry Villa comes from this ten thousand year old volcano.
Use the volcanic fire source to temper the magic weapon.
To the west is the towering snow-covered mountains. Through the snow-capped mountains, one can see the border of the Silver Frost Empire.
Lu Mingyuan was condescending, looking at the lava below, and moved his eyes to the entire Jiayuguan Pass behind him. As far as he could see, there were black eaves and black tiles, as well as some shops built in stone caves, selling magic weapons, elixirs, or wild beasts.
Monks from all over the Middle-earth world came and went on the streets.
Jiayuguan can connect various countries and is also a trade center. It is not just a simple pass, but also a hub for connecting various countries in Dayan.
When Lu Mingyuan arrived here.
I noticed tremors coming from my sleeves.
When I took it out, I saw that it was a black tortoise shell emitting rays of brilliance.
New reminders formed before my eyes.
[The Golden Crow Kingdom and the Silver Frost Empire have withdrawn their troops from the Cashmere Trail in Hexi Town. 】
"Ran?"
Lu Mingyuan narrowed his eyes.
"How can I let you get what you want?"
The champion Hou Huoqing on the side stood with his sword in hand and asked: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Lu Mingyuan asked calmly: "Have you found any trace of the Golden Crow Kingdom?"
Huo Qing said solemnly: "No, it seems that the wind direction of Jiayuguan has been understood, and the enemy has withdrawn in advance."
"Can we send troops to pursue him?"
Champion Hou Si thought: "The official road has been blocked by the defenders of Jiayuguan in advance. The enemy army should be taking a small road. If we can know the general direction, maybe we can use the official road to block it. The small road is steep, and the main road is much more convenient."
"Bring me the map."
Lu Mingyuan greeted and pointed at the thick parchment.
"I think the enemy army is likely to pass by here. What do you think, Lord Champion?"
Huo Qing stared at where Lu Mingyuan was.
Puzzled.
Why is it here.
Even though he was well-informed, he was stunned by Lu Mingyuan's move.
"I don't know what will happen next."
Huo Qing could only tell the truth.
Lu Mingyuan smiled faintly: "If you go here, you may find something else."
The champion did not ask why, but chose to do as he was told.
Instruct his soldiers to go to the destination and send troops to search.
Less than half an hour.
Then came the good news.
"Your Majesty, it's true! Traces of the Jinwu Kingdom's withdrawal were found near Hexi Town!"
"Okay." Lu Mingyuan waved his hand and made the decision to send troops.
"In this case, take this opportunity to destroy the main forces of the Golden Crow and Silver Frost Empire first."
"yes!"
At this time, Cashmere said.
Both the Golden Crow Kingdom and the Silver Frost Empire have stationed troops here.
"Da Yan's pursuers probably won't catch up." Wu Xun, the emperor of the Silver Frost Empire, frowned as he looked at the vast oasis in Mobei that finally appeared.
Luo Lingxiao said confidently: "Absolutely not."
"As long as the reinforcements arrive, Dayan will never be so arrogant."
Wu Xun muttered: "Not all the six countries are sending troops here. Only Nanli and Sui, with the combined strength of the four countries, should be able to withstand the front of the Great Yan army."
"I'm wondering who leaked the information about us. This matter has always been a mystery. If we can't find an undercover infiltrator, I'm afraid there will be a risk of defeat in the subsequent war."
Luo Lingxiao was puzzled as to who had leaked the traces of the Jinwu Kingdom's troops.
He even suspected that there was an undercover agent in the country.
But most of the people involved in military operations were his own confidants, so how could an undercover agent infiltrate it?
Wu Xun said with great interest: "I heard that this time Emperor Dayan personally led the expedition, and there was quite a commotion."
"How confident are you if you face him?"
Luo Lingxiao, the new king of the Golden Crow, thought: "From a personal strength perspective, since Lu Mingyuan can fight against the Great Ming Empress, he should have the strength to fight against the Twelve Realms."
Wu Xun smiled and said: "It is said that he defeated the Great Underworld Empress."
Luo Lingxiao shook his head; "It should be a rumor. At that time, there were not only a few experts from the three religions who arrived, but even the old Tianshi from the Tianshi Mansion arrived in person. I think it should be the general trend, and let Empress Da Ming retreat on her own initiative instead of being defeated by Lu Mingyuan. Empress of the Underworld."
He trusts his own judgment more.
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.
He did a lot of research on Lu Mingyuan.
He has thoroughly studied the other party's deeds in the Cold Palace, what he did in the Wilderness Cave, and many things he did after taking over the East Palace.
His assessment was that this was a worthy opponent.
It must not be underestimated. It was precisely because the other princes underestimated Lu Mingyuan's existence that they were defeated one by one by him.
Luo Lingxiao said: "With my current strength, even those in the Twelve Realms cannot be my opponent."
"Unless Lu Mingyuan reaches the upper third level, I will definitely not give him a chance to take action if we face him."
"If this person had reached the upper third rank, how could he have given the six nations a chance to breathe? Judging from his current state of cultivation for several months, he should be recuperating and definitely has not broken through to the thirteenth realm."
For the analysis of the new king of Jinwu, Wu Xun nodded slightly, approving it.
"Let's go and meet up with Li Muwan and Cao Zongxi."
Wuxun rested for a while and continued to march.
Passing through the dense oasis, facing the Xisha wind of the Gobi Desert, it took several hours to leave the trail.
Passing through the valley in front, you can see the endless plain.
However, just as they passed through the valley.
A dark crowd emerged from both sides of the valley, and the whole four directions were all flying flags, and the sharp soldiers were full of blood, and everyone was ready to fight.
"You are finally here."
A voice with a smile and a slightly playful tone echoed in the valley.
Luo Lingxiao and Wu Xun looked around, but couldn't find where the person who spoke was.
I can't see the person, but I can hear his voice.
Luo Lingxiao snorted coldly: "Your Excellency has only this little ability. You only dare to plan strategies in the canyon, and you dare not even show your face when you speak?"
At this moment, in the distance where the soldiers were gathered, there was a nine-dragon chariot with a golden umbrella, which was revealed to everyone.
Luo Lingxiao and Wu Xun looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.
The two of them almost attacked at the same time, bursting out with great power, and smashed the nine-dragon chariot.
The soldiers of the Great Yan who were blocking them were directly blown away.
With a thought, they came to the nine-dragon chariot at a lightning speed.
They obviously thought of the same thing.
Want to capture the Great Yan emperor alive.
But.
It's different from what I imagined.
There was no dragon robe man in the nine-dragon chariot, but two strong men rushed out, a Taoist woman with cinnabar on her forehead, holding a whisk, and on the right was a middle-aged man in a black long gown, who looked handsome, and a huge Yin-Yang Tai Chi shadow appeared under his feet.
It was Fairy Cihang and Taoist Taiwei.
In an instant.
Taoist Taiwei directly took out the immortal weapon of the sect, the Yin-Yang Mysterious Mirror, from his sleeve.
The two of them fought back directly, and the light emitted by the Yin-Yang Mysterious Mirror turned into a slender rope, tying up Luo Lingxiao and Wu Xun.
They were captured alive.
Lu Mingyuan was in the army, and saw this scene from a distance, and smiled slightly:
"Show your face? Why do you want to show your face?"
"I know it."
Lu Mingyuan smiled faintly and guessed what the two were planning.
Being ambushed and trapped, they were already the weaker party. The first reaction was naturally to capture the enemy's commander alive and fight for a glimmer of life.
The reaction of these two was already very fast. If they were monarchs of other countries, their defense line might have been broken.
Unfortunately, Lu Mingyuan would not give them such an opportunity.
What's more, his own cultivation was higher than these two guys.
Not knowing the true strength of the other party, Lu Mingyuan could only observe silently in the dark and use the Great Flame Offering to test.
Just now.
Lu Mingyuan roughly estimated that the two men's strength should not be high, and they were not the kind of people who hid their cultivation.
Now it can be temporarily determined that these two guys cannot beat him.
They can be labeled as weaklings.
After being captured alive, the Qi Hai Dantian was blocked, but there were all kinds of tricks that could not be used. Luo Lingxiao shouted very unwillingly:
"The great Great Yan, claiming to be the Destiny Dynasty, used such a despicable trick and dared not fight head-on?"
This provocation did not move Lu Mingyuan.
He said expressionlessly: "Do you think I'm a fool? I can take you down without a single soldier, so why not? The best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting, don't you understand?"
Then Lu Mingyuan thought: "Forget it, don't waste time talking to them. If we take them down, we should be able to lure the reinforcements from Nanli and the Great Sui Dynasty to attack them. No matter how many coalition forces come, I will eat them."
Just as he was thinking, a Buddha's Dharma body descended from the sky and emerged between heaven and earth.
The sky was full of golden lotuses, accompanied by dazzling golden light, illuminating the entire valley, like a big sun.
The Buddha's Dharma body is extremely sacred, with spiral hair on his head, flame pattern back and head halo, right hand touching the ground seal, left hand performing meditation seal, and at the center of the Dharma body's eyebrows, there is a handsome monk in white.
The monk in white pressed down lightly.
The Dharma body followed with a palm press down.
Directly smashed the barrier condensed by Taiwei Daojun.
Rescued Luo Lingxiao and Wuxun.
Seeing this scene, Lu Mingyuan chuckled: "Jiang Shan, it seems that you are determined to be my enemy."
In the void, Jiang Shan made a seal with one hand at this moment. His side face was as sharp as a knife, and he was extraordinary handsome. There was golden light on both sides of his eyes, like a furious Vajra.
He glanced at Luo Lingxiao in his palm and smiled faintly: "But each serves his master, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
In this era, there are indeed many talented people, and everyone is like a dragon. If Luo Lingxiao was born a hundred years earlier, or a thousand years later, he might have been the most outstanding person of the contemporary era.
But with Lu Mingyuan, other talented people are destined to be dull and can only be a foil.
Facing Jiang Shan, Lu Mingyuan was neither arrogant nor impatient, and asked with a smile:
"Then I dare to ask Master, do you think the six countries will win this time when they march eastward, or will Great Yan win?"
Jiang Shan chanted a Buddhist name: "Amitabha, the world is impermanent, cause and effect are inevitable, everything has a destiny, and naturally the capable will take over."
Lu Mingyuan's expression became serious, his voice was raised several degrees, his dantian exerted force, his vitality surged, and he said with full vigor:
"Then let me ask you again, if I want to be the master of the world, it is not just the Middle Earth, but the whole world."
"Can it be or not?!"
Even Jiang Shan was shocked by Lu Mingyuan's question.
"This."
He had never thought that Lu Mingyuan would have such a big ambition.
For a moment, the atmosphere also became quiet.
"What a big tone!"
Outside the valley, a group of monks with strong breath and swords riding on the wind rushed over.
The leader was a tall and handsome young man with a dragon pattern carved on his hair crown. He was wearing a black robe and was very conspicuous.
There was a tall old eunuch following him.
"The Crown Prince of the Great Sui Dynasty, Cao Zongxi."
Lu Mingyuan recognized the person almost at a glance.
"I didn't expect that the Sixth Prince could say such a cruel thing. It seems that you have changed a lot in the past three years."
A petite girl in flame-patterned armor appeared from the east, carrying a big sword on her back. There was an old man with white hair and cloudy eyes beside him, carrying a stick-like object wrapped in old cloth strips behind him, which looked unfathomable.
The person who just spoke was this girl.
Wuxun chuckled: "Li Muwan, you are a little late."
Li Muwan said indifferently: "Humph, if it weren't for my father's order, I wouldn't come."
The current Nanli Dynasty and the Silver Frost Empire have a very good relationship, and there is a faint trend of marriage, but Li Muwan is determined to stick to it.
Otherwise, the two countries have already become relatives.
There are also many cultivators from the immortal forces who have arrived one after another, and they are not ordinary people.
Either the top forces of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, or the mainstream inheritance of the seven major Buddhist sects.
"You are the new generation king of Da Yan, Lu Mingyuan?"
"You are a little younger than expected."
Not far away, the eldest prince of Da Wu, Chu Longxiang, also arrived. He had a calm face, was wearing a black tortoise armor, and had a strong blood. It was obvious that he had made great progress in martial arts after being blessed by destiny.
The descendants of the immortal forces in different states and counties, and the proud sons and daughters of the major sects, all gathered here.
Lu Mingyuan saw many familiar figures, including Taoist Qigong practitioners who defected to the Great Sui Dynasty, such as: Ziyang Zhenren of Ziyang Palace, Bodhi Master of Bodhi Temple, and Wangqing Zhenren of Wangqing Sect. There were also young sword cultivators from Tongtian Sword Sect, and Taoists from Maoshan Fudi and Qingyun Fudi.
The Mohist Confucian scholars of the Song Dynasty manipulated the puppet soldiers, who were from the famous families of the 36 academies in the world, including Luochuan Academy, Bihu Academy, and Bailu Academy.
Many Buddhist sects: Leiyin Temple, Xiaolingyin Temple, Jinshan Temple, Wenshu Temple, Putuo Temple, Datianlong Temple, and Dajinchan Temple.
It can be seen that since the fate of the heaven fell.
The support rate of the major dynasties has risen a lot.
In the crowd, Lu Mingyuan released the spiritual power formed by the vitality and carefully observed the young cultivators present.
After retracting the spiritual power, Lu Mingyuan was secretly surprised. He found more than ten strong men in the twelfth realm, and each of them exuded a very strong aura.
Lu Mingyuan seemed very calm and smiled: "I didn't expect that today's stormy meeting, all the countries gathered together, which is rare."
Hearing this, the masters of various countries who had reached the twelfth realm showed elite light in their eyes and looked at Lu Mingyuan.
Seeing the strong men from the six countries, he could still smile.
"Do you think you can still win today?" asked one of the worshippers of the Dawu Dynasty.
This man was called Yao Longchuan, a top master in the Dawu Dynasty. He wore a luxurious purple martial arts robe and looked about thirty years old. He had sword-like eyebrows and eagle eyes, and his demeanor was quite extraordinary.
He knew that this time there were not only the twelfth realm, but also the top three masters.
At this time, they were probably watching the battle in Tianwaitian.
In this way, it depends on whether there are more top three masters in Da Yan or in the six countries.
Yao Longchuan remained optimistic about this.
Since the fate of heaven fell, several dynasty ancestors of the Dawu Dynasty broke through to the top three.
It was not surprising for Lu Mingyuan to see familiar people.
But he felt a little strange.
Why did the six countries arrive so quickly.
And they happened to appear at such a suitable time.
His suspicious eyes could not help but fall on the black tortoise shell.
At this moment, the Golden Crow King Luo Lingxiao has already touched the limit of Dantian, and looked at Lu Mingyuan with cold eyes: "Lu Mingyuan, although I don't know how you know our marching route, I can only say that you are one step behind. This is the place where we gather our troops, and you just happened to appear here. If you had been half an hour earlier and intercepted our route, you might have really captured us."
Even if they were ambushed, so what.
This is the place where he discussed the reunion of the armies of the six countries. Rather than saying that Lu Mingyuan caught a turtle in a jar, it is better to say that the six countries arrived here just before the Great Flame siege.
If it had been a little earlier, he might have been captured alive by Lu Mingyuan, making a big joke.
The War of the Seven Kingdoms is the biggest event in the Middle-earth Dynasty in the past five hundred years of reincarnation. Many forces have gathered, and they are all the top strong men in the world. It can be said that a group of dragons will meet.
Today's battle is even more eye-catching.
The six kingdoms, symbolizing the next heirs to the Mandate of Heaven, officially began to compete with the previous Mandate of Heaven, Great Yan.
What is the Mandate of Heaven Dynasty?
When the five hundred years of reincarnation arrive at the last hundred years, the competition of destiny begins. As long as you can become the winner, you can enter the next five hundred years and become the successor of destiny.
However, this era is full of wind and clouds, and the sons of destiny appear frequently.
With the birth of many Tianjiao and sons of destiny, six heroes have emerged in the world, competing for the world, shining like a sky full of stars, with picturesque mountains and rivers, beautiful women, and a cruel and chaotic era.
In such an era, the people who can turn the tide and compete for the king step on the tombs of heroes and become myths discussed and admired by later monks.
In response, Lu Mingyuan smiled indifferently.
From the beginning of Wei Laojiu's feat of guarding the Tianmen, a blazing fire has been burning in Lu Mingyuan's heart.
No matter how the wind and clouds change outside the Tianmen and the world of the Middle Earth.
But as long as the gods and Buddhas intervene in the world, the first to be impacted must be the emperor of the world who is the master of the Tianming Dynasty.
If you want to break the current situation of the human race being surrounded by the Demon Kingdom and the Wilderness, you have to establish the Supreme Immortal Dynasty.
Before that, you must defeat the six kingdoms.
The words he said when he just became the master of the world were not arrogant, but a necessary measure.
He must seize the luck of the six kingdoms and unify the power of the human race, so as to continuously accumulate strength and compete with the Wilderness and the Holy Darkness.
Facing the gods and Buddhas whose future situation is still uncertain, you need to accumulate enough strength.
In the eyes of these geniuses, he may be talking nonsense.
But defeating the six kingdoms is just the first step he has to take now.
