Chapter 230 Senior Sister, I have something good worth playing with
After leaving the palace, Zhou Tieyi went straight home.

In the Shouyi Courtyard, Zhou's mother looked at her son who had returned home and said, "Come with me."

Yesterday, Zhou Tieyi had already informed his mother that he was going to take a powerful artifact from home, but he did not give a reason.

If it were in the past, Zhou's mother would definitely not agree to this matter, but Zhou Tieyi has done too many and too complicated things in the past two months, and many of them involve important figures of the first and second ranks and even the current emperor. Not to mention the reason for using the artifact, he must have his own considerations. He has already said that no matter what he does in the court, it is naturally inconvenient to ask more.

So after thinking for a while last night, Zhou's mother decided to take her son to the secret library to take a look.

Following his mother, Zhou Tieyi came to the Zhou family's warehouse. There were guards patrolling outside the warehouse all year round. Inside the warehouse, there were also three auras of practitioners hidden. And this was not the entire defense of the Zhou family's warehouse. It was only the defense of the mid-grade spiritual materials retained outside.

Going deeper, we came to a brass door with a Pixiu statue standing outside the door.

Even though he was the second young master of the Zhou family, he had never been there before.

Zhou's mother said to Zhou Tieyi, "Put your hand into the Pixiu's mouth."

Zhou Tieyi understood that this should be an advanced verification method, so he put his hand into the mouth of the Pixiu statue. He felt a tingling sensation and blood fell into the mouth of the Pixiu. The next moment, the entire mouth of the Pixiu opened infinitely, directly embracing Zhou's mother and Zhou Tieyi.

That brass door is just a deceptive 'gateway'; the real gate is the Pixiu statue itself.

After entering the Pixiu statue, Zhou Tieyi felt like he was entering a chessboard space. Especially the Pixiu statue he just saw, which gave him the same feeling as a divine artifact.

"Mother, is the Pixiu statue also a sacred artifact?"

Mother Zhou nodded, looked at Zhou Tieyi who seemed to be thinking about something, and replied, "Yes, but you can't choose this Pixiu statue."

I'm not that greedy.

Zhou Tieyi defended himself in his heart.

Just for a moment, he did think that choosing the Pi Xiu statue meant that he had complete control over the secret vault of the Zhou Mansion.

The light inside the Pixiu statue appeared out of nothing, and pillars of light that reached all the way from heaven to earth in this space enveloped each of the top three rare items.

Zhou Tieyi roughly counted them and found that there were more than twenty items, half of which were materials rather than specific secret treasures. The remaining Huwei Army should contain the other half of the Zhou family's foundation.

Mother Zhou took Zhou Tieyi deeper into the cave until they came to the five pillars of light. She said, "These four are third-grade artifacts that have not yet been used in our family. As for the artifact in the innermost black pillar of light, you cannot touch it."

Zhou Tieyi did not look at the four bright beams of light first, but looked at the black beam of light.

In the translucent black, his [True Vision] could specifically sense the existence of a snake-shaped wall carving. The first impression this snake-shaped wall carving gave him was that it was a treasure related to the authority of the underworld!

It’s not a waste of time to break through the iron shoes.

The magical artifact that connected the power of the mountain master and the underworld messenger that he had been looking for a few days ago was actually in Zhou's mansion.

"Why can't you move?"

Mother Zhou looked at the beam of light with an expression of annoyance instead of joy. "Because this is related to the Zhou family's ancestral temple. The day you have the ability to tear down the Zhou family's ancestral temple, that day you will be able to take this artifact away."

Zhou Tieyi looked at his mother, "Mother, don't you have the ability to demolish the Zhou family ancestral temple now?"

Mother Zhou sighed, "I've been looking for an opportunity."

Zhou Tieyi nodded and did not ask any more questions. Instead, he turned to look at the things in the other four beams of light.

A huge scale, a cracked jade disc, a murderous bone armor, and a blood-red amber that seals a villain.

"This scale comes from the reverse scale of a deified third-grade dragon. He forged his reverse scale into a divine weapon. Your great-grandfather left it behind after he killed it. The power contained in it is concentrated on controlling wind and rain."

Not all of the gods' powers are beneficial in combat, and many of them do not significantly increase combat power.

Zhou Tieyi thought about it seriously. As the master of the mountain, he had the power to call the wind and fog, which could temporarily change the environment in the mountains and forests. If he could absorb the power of the dragon clan to control wind and rain, it would indeed have a certain value, but not much.

"This jade disc comes from Tianyi Taoism during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It is a magical instrument held by the twenty-eight masters of the sect. It combines the characteristics of Shintoism and Taoism, and can be considered an alternative divine instrument."

Zhou Tieyi took another look at the cracked jade disc. Clouds and mist continued to rise above the jade disc, evolving into cloud scrolls that were no longer allowed to be circulated outside.

"This bone armor was left by your great-grandfather after he killed a second-grade White Tiger God. The White Tiger God anticipated that your great-grandfather would use his artifacts, corpses, and kingdom of God, so at the last moment, he melted the three together with his gods and a large number of soldiers. Among these artifacts, the White Tiger Armor is the most powerful, but this artifact has been cursed in a special way by the other party. Even if it is used by a third-grade god, it will bring bad luck. If the Zhou family bloodline uses it, they will definitely die miserably. So if you want to take it away, you must explain to me the reason clearly and tell me who wants to use it. You are not allowed to use it yourself!"

Zhou Tieyi looked at the White Tiger Armor. The huge sternums formed a perfect piece of armor, which was half-open. The ferocious tiger head was full of majesty even after death. If someone used this artifact, they would be completely wrapped in it.

"So handsome."

Zhou Tieyi sighed in his heart.

His eyes fell on the last artifact.

Mother Zhou looked at the artifact and sighed, "This is what your grandfather used on the battlefield. He used the white tiger armor to forcibly upgrade himself to the second rank and severely injured a second rank divine general. He then used a secret method to gather all his blood and seal the second rank divine general. Once a divine general is killed, most of their own power will return to the hands of their gods. Only a seal can temporarily stop it. If you want to use this thing, you must explain the process and purpose to me."

Zhou Tieyi complained in his heart, as expected, all the good things that could be easily used had been transformed into combat power, and only those that were difficult to use were sealed in the secret library at home.

He thought for a moment and pointed to the jade disc, "I'll take this one."

Zhou's mother looked at her son and said, "You don't want to switch to the path of the ordained gods, do you? Although this is a path, you don't have to take it. There is no soil for the path of the ordained gods to survive in Daxia today."

Zhou Tieyi smiled and said, "Mother, I know the importance of this matter."

Mother Zhou sighed in her heart, wondering how could her son not know the importance of this matter? During this period of time, he used the power of the newspaper to split the three departments and gained further favor from the emperor. The importance of this matter was naturally more difficult to control than this jade disc.

She stretched out her hand, took out the jade disc, then took out the jade box and put it in it, then handed it to Zhou Tieyi.

After coming out of the secret library, Zhou Tieyi did not immediately return to his Qilin Pavilion to usurp the authority of the Jade Disc, but went to his senior sister's Wangyue Tower first.

Some time ago, senior sister said that she wanted to calm down and comprehend the [Five Emperors' Treasures]. Zhou Tieyi was very busy himself, so he did not disturb her. But now that senior sister has assisted in refining the Five Emperors' Divine Generals, she is believed to have gained a lot from [Five Emperors' Treasures]. Naturally, Zhou Tieyi wanted to ask senior sister for advice on Taoism.

Well, a serious academic discussion.

By the way, let senior sister see the new good things I got!

Downstairs in the Moon Viewing Building, Zhou Tieyi shouted, "Senior Sister, I have something good here that's worth playing with!"

In the Moon-Watching Tower, Miaoyu, who was meditating on Taoism, opened her eyes. Zhou Tieyi had not disturbed her for nearly a month, and her heart had become clear again.

This back and forth indeed helped him to advance his own cultivation, and by the way, with the help of offering sacrifices to the Five Emperors, he had gained a preliminary understanding of the [Five Emperors' Treasure Edicts], at least in terms of the Black Emperor statue.

After going downstairs, Miaoyu was still wearing the apricot-yellow Taoist robe. The only change was that she wore a peach blossom hairpin on her head. Although it was past spring, the peach blossom was still in full bloom thanks to the mysteries of the Green Emperor and the Black Emperor.

As soon as Miaoyu opened the door, Zhou Tieyi proudly raised two things in his hands, a tiger talisman and a jade disc.

Miaoyu's eyes narrowed. This was indeed a good thing worth playing with. Even for her, a direct descendant of Taiyi Temple, she might not be able to see a good thing of this level even once a year.

"come in."

Zhou Tieyi smiled and went upstairs with Miaoyu. The gray, brown and tender yellow beaked birds that had grown their feathers around him circled around him as if they recognized him, not at all shy.

Zhou Tieyi put down the two things, took out some grains from the chessboard, and teased the birds around him.

Miaoyu looked at the two objects, hesitated for a moment, and carefully picked up the cracked jade disc. As soon as her hand touched the jade disc, this magical object seemed to sense the breath of the Taoist descendant and the inheritor of the talisman, and no longer concealed its own power. It emitted a bright moonlight, which directly divided the inside and the outside, dividing the scorching sun inside and outside the small building into two places.

Floating clouds flowed between the two people, changing into words, explaining the principles of heaven and earth.

Nearly an hour passed before Zhou Tieyi and Miaoyu came back to their senses, and they already had a complete Taoist secret method in their minds.

[Tianyi Daode Dengzhenyunlu].

Miaoyu collected her thoughts and spoke first, "This method can only be observed, not practiced."

Zhou Tieyi said, "Senior Sister, I know."

Miaoyu looked into Zhou Tieyi's eyes seriously, "It is because you know this that I have to remind you. Others do not know the seriousness of the situation, but you are just too bold."

Zhou Tieyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "The one who knows me best is my senior sister."

Miaoyu thought for a moment and continued to persuade, "Besides, this method is not complete. Even if you want to practice it, you have to consider the consequences."

"What kind of incomplete method is this?"

Zhou Tieyi asked curiously.

Miaoyu said, "At the beginning, the founder of the Tianyi Taoist lineage, Tianyi Zhenjun, pretended that he had received the teachings of the Taoist Master, so he changed the evil of the gods and transformed them into Taoism. He created this method of passing on the ordination and granting the ordination, and controlled the way of the gods to pacify the chaos of the Five Kingdoms and establish the Tao Kingdom on earth."

Zhou Tieyi commented, "As expected of the lawmaker of the Dao, he has his own bearing."

At the same time, he commented in his heart that it was a pity that his means were not enough and he lost in the end.

Miaoyu spoke out Zhou Tieyi's inner thoughts, "It's a pity that he lost. Since ancient times, victors have been kings and losers have been bandits. His Taoism is naturally a crooked and evil one."

"In the beginning, this method was divided into two parts. One part was the 'Deng Zhenyun Lu' from the twenty-eight Grand Masters, and the other part was the 'Tianyi Hundong Rusheng Yun Lu' held by Tianyi Zhenjun. The two volumes were combined into one to form the complete Tianyi Treasure Lu."

"If it's incomplete, it means the Taoism is incomplete. If you practice it, you will definitely be restrained by the holder of the 'Entering the Holy Cloud Talisman' in the future."

"Uh-huh."

Zhou Tieyi nodded repeatedly like a good boy.

After reminding Zhou Tieyi again, Miaoyu knew that she could only say so much, so she began to seriously discuss the power of this method.

"Although we cannot practice it, the 'method of borrowing the empty space' of this method is indeed powerful. In a sense, it is a new approach."

Zhou Tieyi has already inherited the [Tianyi Daode Dengzhen Yunlu], so he naturally understands what his senior sister said about the "method of borrowing a virtual position".

Generally speaking, the status and authority of gods belong to themselves. Even if they want to raise divine generals, they will divide their own power for the divine generals to use.

Or he could use his own divine descent method and descend directly through the body of another person.

The Tianyi Dao lineage's 'method of borrowing a virtual position' is to obtain a virtual position of divinity through the Cloud Talisman, that is, the corresponding position of a deity. For example, the ninth rank is first granted the Cloud Talisman, which corresponds to a ninth rank deity.

At this time, the practitioners of the Yunlu lineage only had the status but no authority.

When they want to use their authority, they will use their own status to summon the corresponding nine-grade gods, temporarily borrowing the other party's divine power, and thus obtain all kinds of incredible magical powers.

This has two main advantages. First, the ascetics are only borrowing authority temporarily and are not restricted by their own authority like the gods.

Secondly, because it is borrowed, even if it is of the ninth rank, as long as one can get help from many gods, the means available to him are limitless.

But this also has two obvious disadvantages. The first is that low-level Cloud Talisman holders are limited by their own rank and can only borrow the power of lower-grade gods who are bound by the Cloud Talisman covenant. Most of the lower-grade gods have their own sphere of influence. Once you leave the sphere of influence of a god, it will be difficult for you to borrow the corresponding divine power.

Therefore, this requires the Yunlu Taoist lineage to continuously spread and expand its own Taoist tradition, promote the Taoist kingdom on earth to the entire world, and let all gods in the world be restricted by the Yunlu Taoist tradition.

Therefore, in the later period, the Tianyi Taoist lineage offended both the hundreds of Taoist schools and the gods. It would be strange if it was not destroyed.

The second is that by borrowing the power of gods, one will naturally be corrupted by the gods. At the beginning, Tianyi Zhenjun had a good idea, but as more and more people inherited the tradition, many Taoists changed from being the gods' messengers to being the gods' followers, which led to internal chaos and failure.

Zhou Tieyi was thinking that after he obtained this part of the divine power, he would combine it with his own [Totem Method], and wondered if any additional changes would occur. However, he would need to go back and test it slowly.

So he pointed at the tiger talisman and said, "Senior Sister, how about this tiger talisman?"

Miaoyu took the jade disc off and carefully placed it in the jade box and sealed it. The hot summer sun shone in again from the window. She picked up the tiger talisman and carefully observed and comprehended it. After a moment, she sighed, "It's a pity that it's only half, and there are very few things that can be comprehended. Only by wearing it day and night can I accelerate the comprehension of the White Emperor statue."

Naturally, Zhou Tieyi only had half of the tiger talisman in his hand, and the other half was in the soldiers' tomb.

Zhou Tieyi said, "Senior sister, the emperor promised to open the military tomb in two and a half months. I thought you should first take up a position in the God-Slaying Department, and then go in with me to look for opportunities when the military tomb is opened."

Miaoyu was a little shy, and Zhou Tieyi was so bold as to use his power for personal gain that she felt a little embarrassed. "Will others criticize me for this?"

Zhou Tieyi smiled and said, "As long as the procedure is legal, I will cause trouble to anyone who jumps out."

He doesn't just want Miaoyu to go in. All his own personal guards must go in to get the benefits. Didn't the emperor say that this was a reward for him alone? It's just a few more people, and it won't consume much of Da Xia's resources.

If you are not a little greedy and leave more evidence, it will make His Majesty worry.

Miaoyu thought about it, nodded and said, "I will report to the God Execution Department on time tomorrow."

Compared to the opportunity to enter the Soldiers' Tomb once, it is not too easy to check in at the God-Slaying Division for two and a half months in a row.

Zhou Tieyi took the tiger talisman from Miaoyu's hand. Naturally, the tiger talisman contained powerful authority. It was a pity that he could not usurp it, otherwise where would he find a tiger talisman to return to the Emperor of Daxia?

However, if you cannot usurp it, there is another simple way to use it, that is, as Senior Sister said, you should carry it with you for these two months, and with the help of the training of the personal guards, even if you do not command a real army, you can generally comprehend the prototype of the White Emperor statue.

Of course, during these two months, I not only have to comprehend the prototype of the White Emperor statue, but also complete the Yellow Emperor statue.

With the help of the tribe to nurture new life, he condensed the prototype of the statue of Yellow Emperor. However, in order to condense the twelve dragon seals and make the statue of Yellow Emperor as perfect as the Blue Emperor and the Red Emperor, he needed more luck. This luck could not be provided by a tribe of more than 400 people. Fortunately, he also had a corresponding plan.

Four of the Five Emperors have already been found, now the only missing one is the statue of the Black Emperor.

Zhou Tieyi looked at Miaoyu and said, "Sister, I want to tell you something serious."

Miaoyu's expression became serious. The last time Zhou Tieyi spoke to her seriously was when he was preparing to meet Mei Qingchen for the second time. And after that, the consequences had already spread across the world.

"what's up?"

"Sister, do you know the Yin-Yang cultivation method of our sect? Can you teach it to me?"

Miaoyu: ...

Seeing that Senior Sister was about to chase him away, Zhou Tieyi hurriedly said, "Senior Sister, of course I am not greedy for your body, I just want to make progress with you. I am almost comprehending the Four Emperors' Images, and I am just short of the Black Emperor's Image. And you have comprehended the Black Emperor's Image, and you are short of the Four Emperors' Images. If the two of us practice Yin and Yang together, we will surely be able to quickly complete the Five Emperors' Images. This is the proper way of cultivation. Maybe we can use the Five Emperors to comprehend the Yin and Yang, and break free from the cage of the original [Five Emperors' Precious Edicts]. Isn't that wonderful?"

After a while, the eloquent Zhou Tieyi was still driven out of Wangyue Tower, but Miaoyu sighed through the door in the building, "Give me two months to think about it."

Hearing this, Zhou Tieyi immediately became as happy as a naughty puppy, shaking his head and going back to Qilin Pavilion.
