Chapter 162 Zhou Kingdom

After receiving the inheritance, Ye Buwen collected all the ashes of his ancestors.

Although Fengyue failed, as a pioneer who led the human race to seek development, he is a respectable ancestor.

After collecting, Ye Buwen did not leave in a hurry, but continued to explore the lair of corpse-eating beetles.

From Fengyue's description, it can be boldly guessed that this was once the detention center of the corpse-eating beasts.

There may be remains of the corpse-eating beasts in deeper places.

Passing through the winding and interconnected passages, Ye Buwen made some discoveries.

Some bones of corpse-eating beetles, some bones of unknown creatures, huge flat stones, and random paintings on the stone walls.

From these traces, it can be seen that in ancient times, the corpse-eating beasts, that is, the ancestors of the corpse-eating beetles, lived a simple life.

They are intelligent, but the civilization they gave birth to is not as splendid as that of the human race.

The unclear paintings on the wall may be proof that the corpse-eating beasts lack certain civilized characteristics.

Going deeper, Ye Buwen saw traces of mining.

There is an iron ore vein underground. In the ancient times, some shocking materials might have been produced here.

Ye Buwen searched for a long time, but found nothing good left.

He felt sorry. It would be great if there were some natural treasures.

After walking for a long time, he returned the same way.

At the entrance of the cave, Ye Buwen flew out on his sword. He squinted his eyes when he felt the sun for the first time in a long time.

Two women in the distance saw Ye Buwen coming out and greeted him.

"My master, it's been more than half a month, and you finally came out." Zhou Yi said with resentment.

"Has it been so long?" Ye Buwen was quite emotional.

There is no sunlight in the underground world, and he doesn't know the passage of time.

"After staying for so long, have you gained anything?" Lin Murong asked curiously.

"I got the inheritance of an ancient ancestor." Ye Buwen did not hide it, and there was nothing to hide.

"Hiss——" The two women took a breath of cold air.

The inheritance of the ancient ancestor, Ye Buwen is about to take off.

"Is it the Golden Core or the Nascent Soul? Or the legendary immortal?" Zhou Yi was full of curiosity.

Ye Buwen shook his head.

"Neither, it is the inheritance of the ancestors of the human race before the birth of immortal cultivation."

Ye Buwen told the two of them everything he had discovered underground.

The two of them could not stop being shocked.

It was such a great fortune to be able to obtain such an ancient inheritance.

The two women asked questions here and there, and were already discussing whether Ye Buwen would become the immortal god in the ancient legend, with the power to create the world.

Ye Buwen shook his head helplessly and said, "The ancient inheritance is not as powerful as you think."

"It is not even as good as the Golden Core inheritance."

"Why?" Lin Murong asked in surprise.

"The ancient human race had no way to cultivate immortality, so their cultivation relied entirely on body refining, awakening blood, and then awakening magical powers. They still followed the way of the demon race."

"If you replace magical powers with magic, wouldn't it be easy to understand?"

"This..." Lin Murong thought for a moment and answered, "That is to say, the inheritance you got contains several magic arts."

"You can understand it this way. Compared with the endless number of skills and thousands of magic secrets now, I got a few magic arts, which is not a big leap."

After answering the two people's questions, Ye Buwen took out the materials and refined a large coffin more than 20 meters long on the spot, and put the storage bag containing Fengyue's ashes into it.

Then he performed a folk method to bury the coffin and brought a huge stone.

He engraved words on the stone to commemorate everything that had happened here and let the world know the stories buried in this underground world.

Among the last monument erectors, Ye Buwen left his name.

After doing all this, Ye Buwen clapped his hands and said, "Let's go to Zhou State and see what my father-in-law has accomplished."

...

In Zhou State, the luxurious palace is still under construction.

But in this palace that is still under construction, there is one thing that has been completed first.

That is Ye Buwen's sculpture.

The sculpture is also more than 20 meters high, and also holds a book and a long sword, but it is carved more like the Wu State statue and is seven points similar to him.

Ye Buwen flew into the palace on a sword, causing many soldiers to shout in panic: "The immortal is coming, the immortal is coming."

...

In the bedroom, Li Minyun, wearing luxurious robes, reviewed memorials with several old men and discussed.

"Recently, there have been frequent wars. Although money has been pouring into the treasury, food is in short supply. In addition, this year's grain production has decreased, and there is no surplus food to supply the army. Regent Emperor, I suggest stopping foreign conquests and focusing on people's livelihood." The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue said.

"It's time to focus on people's livelihood. Many places in the land we conquered are abandoned for farming. Do you have any way to benefit farmers?" Li Minyun asked.

"First determine the ownership of the farmland. Once they have their own ownership, farmers will naturally farm for survival. Then we will provide seeds for free."

"No, it can't be free, some people will be greedy. I think everyone should take a portion and return it when they farm. This way, no one will take extra seeds to sell or eat them."

"That's also fine. When the time comes, we can use this as an excuse to tell the people that they don't need to return the seeds, and maybe we can win the hearts of the people."

...

Just as a group of people were discussing in full swing, a soldier entered the hall and shouted: "Report to the ruling emperor, an immortal who calls himself Ye Buwen is visiting."

The expressions of several old men were instantly sluggish.

"Really, fake, he is back to pursue immortality." The Minister of Works said in surprise.

Li Minyun had a complex expression on his face, either happy or worried, making it hard to tell what he was thinking.

"Let's go and see him."

Li Minyun left the palace and saw Ye Buwen standing at the door with two people waiting.

"Greetings to Emperor Tianwu, welcome Emperor Tianwu to come to the world and lead the people to prosperity again." Li Minyun knelt down and said respectfully.

"Father-in-law, I am no longer Emperor Tianwu. Don't do this, it's embarrassing."

Ye Buwen helped Li Minyun up.

Li Minyun breathed a sigh of relief.

This son-in-law is still as indifferent to power as before.

This way he can continue to be his ruling emperor to lead the people and the foundation he has laid.

To be honest, he was very scared, afraid that his son-in-law would fail in cultivating immortals and come back to seize his power and take the fruits of his success.

Li Minyun was helped up and asked carefully: "Son-in-law, did you succeed in cultivating immortals?"

Ye Buwen nodded.

"It's a small achievement. I've already caught up with the Wu family's ancestor."

Li Minyun and several ministers stumbled, their faces horrified.

They knew more or less about cultivating immortals. They didn't understand the specific realm, but they knew that the higher the cultivation, the more powerful it was.

The Wu family's ancestor was a golden elixir, a great immortal cultivator.

And Ye Buwen actually caught up with the Wu family's ancestor, doesn't that mean he is also a golden elixir.

How many years has it been?

The few people looked at each other and were all shocked.

Is cultivating immortals so simple?

Li Minyun was overjoyed and patted Ye Buwen on the shoulder.

"My dear son-in-law, please come to the palace. I'll order someone to put on the imperial robe for you, so that all officials can see your heroic appearance as an immortal."

Ye Buwen smiled bitterly.

"No need. After I see you, I'll continue to explore the world of immortal cultivation. I don't want to stay here."

Li Minyun already had the answer in his heart.

Now that he heard it, he felt more at ease.

"But it's you, father-in-law, who made such a big noise without making any noise. I'm surprised."

"No, no, it's all thanks to the blessing of the immortal son-in-law." Li Minyun complimented.

Ye Buwen looked at the statue in the distance and smiled.

"Father-in-law, you can use my name to do things, but don't smear me."

"I came from down there and heard a lot of miracles and divine words."

"And the "Emperor Tianwu Sutra", what is written in it, I don't remember saying these words or doing these things."

Ye Buwen meant something, and Li Minyun's heart tightened.

Compared with the Wu Kingdom, the Zhou Kingdom's belief in Emperor Tianwu was more fanatical and bloody.

One of Li Minyun's most common excuses for launching a war was: blasphemy against Emperor Tianwu and disrespect for the gods.

The means used by believers against non-believers were also quite bloody, and they looked like paranoid believers.

The "Emperor Tianwu Sutra" written by Li Minyun and others is completely fabricated, full of ignorance and fanaticism in Ye Buwen's view.

It portrays him as an omnipotent immortal, and as long as you pray to him, you can get what you want.

The ultimate goal of everything Li Minyun does is to consolidate his rule through faith.

"My dear son-in-law, that thing was written by the people, and it has nothing to do with us." Li Minyun's forehead was sweating.

"Oh." Ye Buwen just answered simply, but the eyes that saw through everything made Li Mingyun feel great pressure.

"My dear son-in-law, I will ask someone to revise it immediately, and I will not tarnish your reputation." Li Minyun's voice was a little trembling.

Ye Buwen laughed.

"Father-in-law, don't be so nervous, let's find a place to have a meal together."
