The 20th year of Taiping, Kunlun Cave Heaven. read

The cave heaven has not yet appeared in the human world and has become a secret place of the Taoist sect. Many secret research is carried out here, such as higher yielding grain seeds, combining spells and firearms into one, etc.

On an unknown open land, two figures are intersecting back and forth.

When Zaoge Sect was in its prime, it swept across the world invincible, so it turned its attention to a higher level, that is, the gods above the legend. At that time, Zaoge Sect set three goals, all of which were taken from Buddhist legends. It is: the god "Asura", the guardian god "Yasha", and the evil ghost "Raksha", among which "Raksha" corresponds to the innate realm, "Yasha" corresponds to the return realm, "Asura" corresponds to the free realm of heaven and man, and the corresponding heaven The "Great Asura" in the infinite realm of humans and the "Asura King" in the realm of heaven and man. The Zaoge Sect even wanted to create the "Indra" who directly pointed to the realm of immortality. Unfortunately, the Zaoge Sect only completed the evil ghosts. "Rakshasa" was defeated by the joint efforts of both good and evil, and the remaining two were far away.

However, just the "Rakshasa" thing is already a terrifying thing. The "Rakshasa" refined by Zaoge Sect has both the strengths of evil ghosts and living zombies. It has both certain intelligence and tenacity. The body can be said to be a matter of seizing the creation of heaven and earth with human power. In the words of Zaoge Sect, it is an act of stealing the sky and stealing the sky. The nine heavenly gods are just like this. Therefore, the last formation of Zaoge Sect was named "Refining the God".

Later, Xu Wugui and the Shaman Sect inherited the mantle of the Guzaoge Sect. The Shaman Sect refined the "Great Asura", and Xu Wugui even refined the "Indra" using the method of divine Tao.

Now that the Taoist sect is unified, the people in the Taoist sect have begun to continue to improve this system. Li Xuandu is surrendered to Shangguan Guanquan's full responsibility, codenamed "Eight Tribes".

The first is the material problem. Zaoge Sect uses a large number of corpses as materials. It is fine in troubled times, but it doesn’t work in a peaceful world, let alone the suspicion of blaspheming corpses, so people in the Taoist sect thought of a compromise. , simply abandon the more fragile human body and directly refine the body.

The materials for refining the body are mainly powerful beasts, whether it is the remains of ancient wild beasts, monsters or divine beasts, they are all fine. Take the dragon as an example. A dragon corpse is worth thousands of people, and its quality is The top is even more powerful than it is. So, under Shangguan Wan's secret order, the Taoist sect began to search for various powerful remains. Then, based on these remains, the body is refined.

At the same time, Yao Xianglian also participated in the research of the "Eight Tribes" and made remarkable progress in experimenting with his immortal stones on these bodies.

At this time, among the two sides fighting, there was a "Asura".

Its opponent is a Taoist real person who personally tested the power of this "Asura".

There are also many Taoist disciples standing around, recording the process of the fight between the two sides from various angles.

Suddenly, the body size of "Asura" suddenly increased, as if a human immortal showed his true body, and turned into a height of six feet. He swung his huge palm and slapped it hard at a speed that was completely inconsistent with the huge body!

The power of a palm stirred up a strong wind like a continuous explosion, and the sound of qi burst was endless.

The Taoist real person who was hostile to it was Lan Xuanshuang. She just waved her sleeves lightly, without any external momentum, but made the palm of "Asura" seem to hit the cotton, and the air waves were at the point of confrontation between the two sides. It swayed and instantly turned into huge ripples that covered more than a hundred feet of radius. Lan Xuanshuang stood still, but the figure of "Asura" appeared for a moment as if she was struck by thunder.

Stiff.

Lan Xuanshuang stood with her hands behind her back and did not take advantage of the victory.

Her purpose is not to defeat this "Asura", but to test the potential of "Asura" to the greatest extent, otherwise she, the great master of the heavenly realm of creation, would not have to take action personally.

After a slight adjustment, "Asura" took action again, as fast as lightning and as fast as thunder. The size of the body cannot hinder its actions at all.

But Lan Xuanshuang waved her sleeves again, and it couldn't help but rotate rapidly in place like a gyro. However, a layer of radiant armor appeared on its body, opening and closing, constantly swallowing the energy of heaven and earth, and then spinning with its rapid speed. , a huge land tornado formed around his body, with extremely terrifying power.

At this moment, Chen Mian, who had been beside him, had emptied his palms and laid four solid air walls of more than meter thick with a vast aura, so that this tornado would not endanger the surrounding Taoist disciples.

In a hall in the distance, a water curtain reflected the scene of Lan Xuanshuang fighting with "Asura", and it was revealed in detail. Shangguan Wan and a group of Taoist disciples responsible for refining "Asura" sat in front of the water curtain and watched the fight together.

A disciple of Yin and Yang Sect said softly: "This 'Asura' uses part of the body of the descendant of the ancient wild beast 'Xiangliu', so he has gained some magical features. If it is not located on land, but in water, then it can The power he exerted should increase by 30%. However, after all, Zhenren Lan is the cultivation level of the heavenly realm of creation, and a mere 30% of the power is not enough to compete with Zhenren Lan."

Shangguan Wan, who was sitting in the main seat, just nodded slightly, and there was no joy or anger on her face.

After getting married, Shangguan Guan didn't change much, but she just changed to a woman's bun. However, she didn't like the title "Madam Shangguan", so the Taoist sect still called her Dazhenren.

After a while, Shangguan Wan said: "The key is to solve the problem of 'firewood'. You have seen 'Emperor Shitian', whose power is comparable to that of immortals, but because it feeds on incense and vows, it cannot move easily. If this problem cannot be solved, no matter how powerful it is, it is just a puppet."

Another disciple of Zaoge Sect whispered: "Under the current conditions, we can only minimize the use of incense and vows, and we cannot completely abandon incense and vows. After all, fundamentally speaking, they cannot practice on their own, just like a tree without roots..."

Wang Zhongfu suddenly said: "Maybe there will be some progress on the side of Master Yao."

Shangguan Wan fell into deep thought.

Now the "Eight Divisions" project is divided into two factions. One faction continues the thinking of the ancient Zaoge Sect, and the other faction, headed by Yao Xianglian, continues the thinking of the ancient witch religion. The two factions have their own advantages and disadvantages, sometimes arguing and hostile, and sometimes cooperating with each other. Shangguan Wan, as the host of the "Eight Divisions" project, is generally impartial.

After a long time, Shangguan Wan slowly said: "Master Yao can indeed solve the problem of 'firewood', but the key is that Master Yao's method has another drawback, that is, 'out of control'. From a certain perspective, the problem of 'firewood' is precisely the key to our mastery of these creations. If one day, these creations lose control for some reason and begin to bite back at us, we can certainly suppress them, but it is inevitable that our vitality will be greatly damaged, and it will go against the original intention of the Grand Master. This is a responsibility that none of us can afford."

Wang Zhongfu was silent.

Wei Zhen, who had not spoken, said softly: "So the key is still people.

What if someone voluntarily accepts this change and becomes an 'Asura'?"

"Your idea is too dangerous!" Shangguan Wan said in a deep voice.

Wei Zhen bowed slightly and did not defend himself.

Shangguan Wan was not really angry, and changed the subject: "But this is indeed a possible direction."

At this time, Lan Xuanshuang appeared in this hall. The test had been completed, and Chen Mian was responsible for the follow-up.

In the "Eight Divisions" project, Shangguan Wan is the undisputed number one figure, and Lan Xuanshuang and Yao Xianglian are the number two and three figures, each leading a large faction.

Shangguan Wan looked at Lan Xuanshuang and asked, "Sister Lan, where do you think the problem lies?"

Lan Xuanshuang pondered and said, "The essence of the earthly immortal lineage lies in the unity of heaven and man, that is, harmony. The essence of Emperor Shitian is still a zombie, which is not tolerated by heaven and earth. We, the so-called creations, are things that do not exist in heaven and earth. We were forcibly created, so we naturally lost harmony, or directly became "discordant". Without the essence of the unity of heaven and man, we cannot actively draw the vitality of heaven and earth from the outside world for our own use. At most, we can turn the vitality of heaven and earth into our own weapons like we did just now."

Wang Zhongfu shook his head and said, "It is beyond our reach to achieve the so-called "harmony". Invading the creation of heaven and earth is a field that only immortals can touch."

Wei Zhen spoke again, "Do you want to restart the "Kinnara" plan?"

Shangguan Wan flatly rejected it and said, "This is something that the Grand Master has expressly prohibited. Don't mention it again."

Wei Zhen fell silent.

...

In the 41st year of Taiping, Bohai Prefecture, the East China Sea Navy Station.

When Qin Kezhen got off the carriage, she was shocked by the huge thing in front of her.

In the distant harbor, there was a huge ship, which was much larger than ordinary warships, and even the famous Qinglong ship could not compare with it.

That would be fine, the key is that this ship abandoned the traditional wooden structure and replaced it with steel.

This is an ironclad ship.

It is the legendary Yinglong-class warship.

The Qin family's generation is "Only those who are upright and keep the Tao can be relied on." Qin Kezhen is the granddaughter of His Majesty the Emperor and the daughter of the Crown Prince. She was named Princess Nanping.

The Crown Prince is no longer Qin Su, but Qin Su's half-brother Qin Weishi.

Li Xuandu really said that Qin Qing was blessed by God. In the fifth year of Taiping, he had a son with Bai Xiushang and was officially appointed as the Crown Prince. Qin Su finally got rid of the identity of the Crown Princess and was at ease to be her own Taiping Dao Great Immortal and Grand Master's wife.

Today, the prince is thirty-six years old, married, and has a son and a daughter. Qin Qing has little time left in the world, so he has asked the prince to supervise the country and handle all government affairs.

Qin Kezhen came here with his father this time to inspect the navy's latest warship.

Li Fachen, the admiral of the East China Sea Navy, came to greet him. He is a disciple of Li Taiyi, and Li Taiyi has gone to Kunlun and returned to Taoism. He is expected to succeed his fourth sister-in-law who intends to retire and serve as the Great Immortal of Taiping Dao.

Li Fachen led His Royal Highness the Prince to board the ironclad ship, inspected it for a week, and then ordered the gunners to fire and sink the target ship. Finally, he asked His Royal Highness the Prince to name the ironclad ship himself.

His Royal Highness the Prince was quite satisfied and said, "This ship is used to conquer pirates at sea, so it is named General Pingkou."
