Chapter 497 Heavenly Stems Gathered, the Secret of Huangquan Revealed
Facing Tianzun's gaze, Zhang Jiuyang only felt his scalp numb and his whole body tense to the extreme. Fortunately, with the blessing of the Heavenly Escape Sword Intent, he was able to avoid any flaws.
At this moment, he could only pray silently that Tianzun didn't see the flaw.
Just now at the bottom of the underworld, taking advantage of the huge noise during the battle, he was about to take the risk and change his identity, but Taiyin's message stopped him and asked him to wait a little longer.
Sure enough, after a moment, the Lord of the Underworld actually took action. It was definitely a mysterious and powerful existence. Zhang Jiuyang had made a big fuss in the Underworld when he invited Wang Lingguan to come to his body, and he had communicated with him.
At that time, facing himself with the divine power of Wang Lingguan, although the Lord of the Underworld was very jealous, he was not too afraid and almost took action.
Moreover, senior brother Miao Shenke was hiding in the underworld to study Xuan Gong, and he was also relying on the protection of the Lord.
All in all, Fujun's action gave Zhang Jiuyang hope, and Fujun did not disappoint him. Tianzun and the other Huangquan Tianqian were attracted by it.
Tianzun, in particular, couldn't immediately break Fu Jun's magical power with the spells of turning the effect into the cause, and in the end it seemed that he had come up with a deeper hidden ability.
Just like the information Ao Li once tried with his life, Tianzun's left hand is Buddha and his right hand is Tao. At the same time, he also hides an even more amazing power.
It's a pity that it was just a flash of surprise, and Zhang Jiuyang wanted to seize the opportunity to change his position, so he didn't see anything.
At this moment, he held up the Huang Quan Ling in his hand, waiting for Tianzun to speak.
If he still didn't hide it from Tianzun, then today would be his death day. If he succeeded, then he would be able to survive the crisis and get out of this hellish banquet alive.
Life and death are just a matter of thought.
"The Underworld Order..."
Tianzun bowed his finger, and the Underworld Order automatically flew into his hand. After looking at it for a moment, it was returned to Yama.
"Since you killed the Painted Skin Master, then we will make an exception for the successor of this Underworld Order. It is up to you to decide."
Zhang Jiuyang's heart skipped a beat, his expression became surprisingly serious, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
But Zhuge Yu's eyes froze, and he looked at Huang Quan Ling with a particularly unwilling expression. He wanted to say something but was afraid of the power of the Heavenly Lord and did not dare to speak.
Lao Qi's eyes showed joy.
As the first person in the Yama camp to take refuge, he naturally hopes that his side will be as powerful as possible.
As Yama designates the successors of the Eighth Heavenly Stem, their camp will inevitably expand further, and their status will naturally increase.
But what he never expected was that the next moment, Yama's voice sounded.
"Tianzun, Zhuge Yu has done a great job in finding spies, and he almost became a god of heaven. Now that he has surrendered to you, then please Tianzun give him this Huangquan Order..."
The voice was loud and firm, without any hesitation.
Zhuge Yu was startled, looking at Yan Luo with a complicated expression, and a trace of gratitude inevitably arose deep in his heart.
He even sent a message to Yama for this purpose.
"Thank you very much."
"I misunderstood you as a traitor before, and I was also guided by the Painted Skin Master. Please don't blame me."
Yama didn't reply, just nodded slightly to him.
Tianzun looked at Yama with a deep and unpredictable gaze.
"Yam Luo, are you sure you want to give the Huangquan Order to Zhuge Yu?"
Zhang Jiuyang did not hesitate and said decisively: "Yes, I know that Tianzun must have a big plan. It has been a long time since the Ten Heavenly Stems gathered. If we miss this opportunity, I don't know what changes will happen in the future."
"In this case, it is better to choose the day than to hit it. Zhuge Yu has completed the test before, and this time he does not have to go through the assessment of Lao Qi. He can directly become Tianqian to realize Tianzun's plan faster!"
As soon as these words came out, even Xuan Su, who had been hostile before, looked at Yama Luo much softer.
Moon God nodded repeatedly and looked at Yama quietly, with a brilliant flash of light in his beautiful eyes.
Today, she not only saw Yama's dominance and power, but also his ability to 'retreat'. In her opinion, Yama's skills were really brilliant.
Not only did he personally kill the Painted Skin Master, his prestige in the underworld became even greater, but he also won over the neutral faction in the Ten Heavenly Stems who obeyed Tianzun's orders. More importantly, after today, Yama is afraid that he will be even more trusted by Tianzun.
"In that case..."
Tianzun said calmly: "Zhuge Yu, let you be the one with the word 'Xin'."
Zhang Jiuyang handed the Huang Quan Ling to Zhuge Yu, and when he saw the other person's ecstatic expression, he secretly felt a murderous intention in his heart.
This Huangquan Order belongs to him. If he eats his own food, he must make up for it with something.
Just trade it with your life.
Zhang Jiuyang has made up his mind to prevent Zhuge Yu from participating in the next underworld banquet and regain his own underworld order.
Zhuge Yu was truly a genius, and he was quickly recognized by Huangquan Ling, with wisps of clouds and smoke appearing around him.
He was extremely excited that he finally became a member of the Ten Heavenly Stewards!
No one knows better than him how precious the identity of Shi Tianqian is. Once Tianzun completes his work, Shi Tianqian will be the greatest opportunity and good fortune in the world!
More importantly, the gathering of the Ten Heavenly Stems means that Tianzun's plan is finally reaching that stage.
On the top of the mountain of Jamfu, all ten thrones were filled.
But the strange thing is that the person who was on the eighth throne just now has half of his head rolling on the ground, and his death is extremely miserable and terrifying.
"Today the Ten Heavenly Stems gather together, I will tell you... the real secret of Huangquan."
Tianzun spoke again, and the words he spoke made everyone hold their breath, for fear of missing any word.
They have always been very curious about Tianzun. What is the purpose of such a powerful person who is almost invincible in the world? He spent hundreds of years to form Huangquan and waited for ten days to complete it.
Zhang Jiuyang was also very curious.
He actually struggled with whether to give the Underworld Order to Zhuge Yu. After all, doing so would be equivalent to helping Tianzun and advancing his plan.
But if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs.
Zhang Jiuyang realized that the main reason why he was repeatedly frustrated at the hands of Tianzun, apart from the huge gap in strength, was that he had too little information.
He didn't know what Tianzun wanted to do or what the specific arrangements were.
Therefore, he needs to figure out what Tianzun's purpose is for establishing Huangquan, so that he can be targeted in the future.
Tianzun looked at everyone.
"Everyone, you are all rare and talented people in the world. Each one of you is one of the most talented people in the world. But have you ever thought about a question..."
After a pause, he said word by word: "Why do you practice slower and slower after the Sixth Realm?"
Everyone couldn't help but be startled.
"In ancient times, the Sixth Realm could only be regarded as good. There were countless Seventh Realm and Eighth Realm. Legends of ascending to immortality in the Nineth Realm were also common. Could it be that the qualifications of the ancients were really so much better than yours?"
Lao Qi snorted and said, "It's not because we are conceited. Although I am a demon, demons also have genealogies. According to my family's records, my basic qualifications can be ranked among the top five!"
Tiger sneered and said, "Then why are you still in the sixth realm now?"
"Ahem, well...it's just bad luck."
Moon God smiled sweetly and said: "I'm afraid it's not luck, but the world today has long lost its glory as in ancient times."
She was deeply touched by this. People in her clan always said that she was a genius that was not seen for thousands of years, but in fact, in ancient times, even some clan members with moderate qualifications had higher achievements than her.
Tianzun nodded and said: "The Moon God is right. It's not that you have poor qualifications, but that the world has changed."
Everyone had different expressions after hearing this, some were surprised, some were calm, and some were deep in thought.
"In ancient times, there was an earth-shattering war."
Just as Tianzun spoke, Lao Qi couldn't help but interject: "How big can it be?"
He really couldn't imagine what it would be like in a battle where even Tianzun could use the words "earth-shattering".
Tianzun looked at him quietly, and immediately made Lao Qi cough and shut his mouth obediently.
"The human continent was originally a whole. It was precisely because of that battle that it was split into Kyushu and the rest of the land."
"In that war, all the gods fell one after another, even the Golden Crow God was shot down, so that the sun disappeared and the world fell into eternal night. It was the human emperor at that time who burned himself to the sky and turned into the rising sun, which gave us today's light. "
Zhang Jiuyang nodded secretly. This was exactly what Patriarch Baiyun said. It seemed that Tianzun also knew a lot about the secrets of ancient times.
"Although the human world survived in the end, because of that war, the spiritual veins of the three realms were destroyed, and the spiritual energy became increasingly weak. To this day, even those who can break through the six realms are rare."
Zhang Jiuyang was shocked. He didn't know this, but it wasn't particularly surprising because he had already guessed it.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They all have this experience. After entering the Sixth Realm, the speed of practice seems to have slowed down. They are all diligent and hardworking people, but they always feel that they are not up to their abilities.
The further you go, the harder it becomes. No matter how talented you are, you won't be able to get up soon.
"This is because the current spiritual energy is no longer enough to support us in cultivating immortals. The seventh realm is the limit. If we want to break through to the eighth realm, we must go to some special places, such as the Netherworld, or the Buddhist Dharma Realm, "The Fairyland Beyond Heaven."
These special places were once glorious and were the spiritual centers of heaven and earth. As time went by, even though they had weakened a lot, they were still far better than the human world.
"But even these places cannot provide a place for practice for too many people, because every monk in the seventh or eighth realm needs a huge amount of spiritual energy to break through, and it is easy to dry up the lake."
"That's not right."
The tiger asked doubtfully: "Tianzun, isn't this the Netherworld? But I feel that the spiritual energy is not particularly abundant, it is not as good as my Tongtian Mountains."
Tianzun said calmly: "The spiritual energy in the underworld has made Fujun, me, and one of the eight realms of Taoism possible. Now there is not much left."
Zhang Jiuyang's pupils condensed and he took a deep look at Tianzun.
Tianzun is Zhuge Qixing. Back then, Zhuge Qixing had reached the peak of the Seventh Realm and had no way to advance in the human world, so he was so angry that he made a fuss in the underworld?
As Mr. Meng said, Zhuge was always cautious in his life, and what he did that time was really not like him.
Now Zhang Jiuyang has a guess in his mind. It is a lie that Zhuge Qixing is causing trouble in the underworld. It is true that he can break through to the eighth realm with the help of the aura of the underworld!
Maybe he reached some kind of agreement with Fu Jun at that time.
Later, Senior Brother Miao Shenke also became the Eighth Realm in the underworld. He should be the Eighth Realm of Taoism mentioned by Tianzun.
When everyone heard this, the little thoughts they had just had dissipated again.
Originally, they heard this secret and were planning to go to the depths of the underworld, but now the spiritual energy in the underworld has been exhausted, and it is not much better than the human world.
The three eight realms have exhausted the foundation of the underworld.
So if you want to break through faster, should you go looking for the legendary Buddhist Dharma Realm or the Immortal Court of Heaven?
"Tianzun, you haven't told me yet, what is the use of our Huangquan Order? Can it open the legendary Buddhist Dharma Realm or the Heavenly Palace?"
Tianzun looked at them and smiled faintly, his voice was calm but with an indescribable domineering.
"You might as well think bigger."
Zhang Jiuyang looked at him, his eyes flashed, and he slowly uttered a sentence.
"I guess, Tianzun wants to... repair the sky?"
...
