Chapter 308 Qilin Mingtang
At night, inside Qilin Pavilion.
In the quiet room, Zhou Tieyi sat upright, with the five elements of ancestral qi lingering around his body, forming luxurious auspicious clouds of five colors: blue, red, white, black and yellow. Above the auspicious clouds, the blood of the Qilin transformed into a number of majestic five-colored Qilins. The Qilin looked up at the sky, inhaling and exhaling the blue-purple luck that kept falling from the sky.
Zhou Tieyi suddenly opened his eyes, reached into the void, and used his divine power to grab out historical pictures belonging to the five-colored Qilin, and then threw them at the five-colored Qilin.
With the dual help of Haoran Qingzi's fortune and the magical power of usurping God, the eyes of this five-colored Qilin moved slightly, and then quickly disappeared. If you don't pay attention for a moment, you would think it is an illusion.
Zhou Tieyi looked at the five-colored Qilin above his head and said with a smile, "Are you interested in chatting?"
The five-colored Qilin seemed to be unconscious, still absorbing and exhaling purple energy.
Zhou Tieyi sneered, "If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you!"
When he was using the Qilin's blood essence to nourish his spirit, he knew that this drop of blood essence was different from most ordinary blood essences.
This is the essence and blood of a god, and a god of the top three. As long as the essence and blood still contains the will, and as long as the other party's divine name has not been completely destroyed, then this god will have a chance to return through this drop of essence and blood.
At that time, Zhou Tieyi did not immediately erase the Qilin will in the essence and blood.
On the one hand, he wanted to try to subdue a third-grade Qilin god as his subordinate, and on the other hand, he wanted to use this Qilin to understand the situation on the other side of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
The Hundred Thousand Mountains are so huge that even Daxia cannot completely conquer them. The secrets hidden in them must be huge.
For Zhou Tieyi, having an extra way out is always a good thing. Who knows how the situation in the world will change.
Just like what the Queen said, these people are not able to predict the future.
It’s just that the resources and information they have in their hands are thousands or even tens of thousands times more than that of ordinary people, so they have left corresponding backup plans for different futures.
Once the future trend becomes apparent, you can activate your backup plan to avoid losing everything due to a single mistake.
This is actually the case when most aristocratic families in troubled times try hard to have children and then send these offspring to different camps.
With the help of tremendous luck today, the will within the Qilin's blood and essence naturally revived.
But compared with the current Zhou Tieyi, there is still a world of difference.
Hatred, disaster, and bloodthirstiness were gathered in the eyes of the five-colored Qilin. The auspicious clouds around him also turned into weapons, killing, and curses. In the clouds, wisps of wronged souls of mountain people emerged and lingered, giving the Qilin strength to help him stabilize himself, but also restraining him, turning this originally auspicious Qilin into disaster and leaving him unable to escape.
"Humph!"
Zhou Tieyi snorted coldly, and the five qi around him gathered together and transformed into five emperors. The five-colored light was bright and clear. Under the suppression of the light, the curses of the wronged souls, although as difficult to deal with as shadows, were temporarily isolated from the Qilin's blood essence, causing the hatred, disaster, and bloodthirstiness in the Qilin's eyes to subside, revealing a bit of clarity.
"Can we communicate now?"
Zhou Tieyi asked again.
After Qilin regained his consciousness, he quickly assessed the situation. Although the young man in front of him was still very weak, he was able to control the true intentions of the Five Emperors and gather the tremendous national destiny. This was something that his current remnant soul could not resist.
However, as a lucky animal, he still had some pride, so he used a grand, sacred voice to reach Zhou Tieyi's ears, "Are you the prince of Xia Kingdom?"
Zhou Tieyi smiled slightly, "You don't seem to be clear about your identity."
After saying that, he stretched out his palm. The Five Finger Mountain covered with a layer of emptiness not only gave this palm the defensive power of the second level, but also allowed the palm to grasp many invisible things, such as the kingdom of God and the spirit.
In Qilin’s eyes, a terrifying giant palm fell from the sky. The next moment, the Qilin’s image instantly shrank ten times and turned into a cute little Qilin. It fell into Zhou Tieyi’s hands and could only look up at Zhou Tieyi’s face looking down at it.
"Have you figured out the situation now? I ask, you answer."
A complicated look appeared in Qilin's eyes. The Five Emperors of Taoism plus the Emptiness of Buddhism, no matter which of these two powers was used, it was enough to cultivate to the first level, and now they all appeared in one person.
"What's your name?"
"Mingtang."
Zhou Tieyi compared the images he got from Qilin’s memory and nodded slightly.
Zhou Tieyi thought for a moment and said, "You continue to absorb the blue-purple luck that falls from Daxia."
Qilin Mingtang subconsciously raised his head and said, "If you want my help..."
"I will grant you the Shinto talisman."
Qilin Mingtang's expression suddenly became wonderful. He looked up at the purple-blue luck of Great Xia that was continuously falling from the sky, and Zhou Tieyi's words echoed in his ears.
For a moment he didn't know whether there was something wrong with his ears or his eyes.
How could someone who could obtain such a national fortune as Da Xia have something like a Shinto talisman?
You have to know that he had previously speculated that Zhou Tieyi was a prince of Da Xia's generation. After all, he had died for more than 20 years and did not know the current situation of Da Xia.
"How come you have a Shinto talisman?"
Zhou Tieyi did not continue to explain. A full moon appeared and rose in the sea of luck. The cloud talisman constructed a virtual godhead and landed in front of Mingtang.
Mingtang had a complicated expression on his face. He looked up from the Five Finger Mountain and looked at Zhou Tieyi again and again.
The true meaning of the Five Emperors of Taoism, the emptiness of Buddhism, and now there are the Shinto talismans.
Just the huge information revealed by these three people in one person made Mingtang realize that he would never be able to make any waves in front of the young man in front of him.
After figuring this out, he accepted the talisman in front of him that was like rising clouds.
After accepting the edict, Mingtang could feel his strength beginning to revive little by little.
However, the sacred artifact containing his divine power was in the hands of that enemy, so Mingtang could not directly take back the divine power for the time being.
He looked at Zhou Tieyi, "Why are you helping me so much?"
If Zhou Tieyi just wanted to use his blood essence to practice martial arts, he should be as tolerant as possible and digest the will in his blood essence. Strengthening his will would not be beneficial to martial arts practice at all, but would leave hidden dangers...
Zhou Tieyi sneered, "This blue-purple great fortune tastes good, right?" Mingtang was suddenly stunned and looked at the blue-purple great fortune that was constantly falling from the sky.
This afternoon, as Da Xia conferred the title upon Zhou Tieyi, Zhou Tieyi, in front of the Emperor of Da Xia, used his own martial arts foundation and Qilin's blood essence to absorb this great purple fortune.
For ordinary people, this is naturally a blessing from heaven and a huge benefit.
But Zhou Tieyi was suspicious by nature, and now that he had mastered a lot of secrets of this world, he naturally couldn't help but think more.
For example, the historian's amazing method [Final Conclusion] that can surpass the first-class method.
The Shi family has never produced a first-grade method, but this method can surpass the first-grade one, and can even hold down the coffin lid of the butcher Jiang Taiyi, making it impossible for him to launch a backup plan even if he has one.
This can only mean one thing, that is, the "final judgment" will cover a person's entire life. No matter how many backup plans you have left, as long as they are covered by the "final judgment", they will be obscured in the so-called long river of history.
So in order to activate such a powerful method, there must be many conditions.
The so-called national destiny and public opinion should only be one of the conditions.
Another condition is probably to allow the practitioner to absorb the country's fortune and the people's support.
Only when you are weak, you are already entangled with the destiny of the country and the people's hearts. Even if you become stronger later, you cannot deny your own foundation. Even if you discover this method, it will be too late and there is no way to turn the situation around. This is called the final conclusion!
The second reason why Zhou Tieyi made this inference is that he also holds a part of the power of the [State], and he can also condense his own national destiny.
Although the national destiny that Zhou Tieyi gathered through the Yanhuang tribe was less than one ten-thousandth of the national destiny of Daxia, its characteristics also made him understand one thing, that is, the power of national destiny also has an owner!
This is the power lent to you by others!
Why is His Majesty the Great Xia so sure that the Queen Mother will not betray him?
Why did the Queen Mother tell me that as long as the Emperor of Great Xia had not failed, the two of them could only assist him?
As the son of the Taoist fish and dragon, no matter how loyal I am, wouldn't the Emperor of Daxia be on guard against me?
Zhou Tieyi even suspected that, in the matter of his being conferred a title of nobility, although it seemed that he had suppressed Confucianism, in fact, Confucianism and the Emperor of Great Xia were playing the good cop and the bad cop respectively.
The purpose is to trap the victorious 'general' himself.
This is normal.
Moreover, this was an open conspiracy. Today in the Golden Palace, the overwhelming blue-purple luck was falling down. If Zhou Tieyi did not take it, then it might have been a different story.
So he had to accept this Qing Zi luck, but he also needed to find a way to weaken the influence of this Qing Zi luck on himself.
The simplest way to weaken it is to make the object of support independent, so that one's own spirit essence and blood can form an independent individual, which is completely under one's control.
Others may not be able to do it, but Zhou Tieyi can do it!
Of course, it is still uncertain how useful this method is, and it requires further verification and more information.
Moreover, making the Qilin's blood essence independent was only the first thing Zhou Tieyi did. He also had other preparations for this.
After listening to Zhou Tieyi's words, Qilin Mingtang saw Zhou Tieyi's expression which was a bit sad and a bit sarcastic, and instantly realized that there was a big trap here. The expressions on his face were rich and colorful, similar to those of humans.
I feel like all the third-level cultivation I've been doing over the years has been wasted on a dog.
Zhou Tieyi continued, "It's enough for you to understand the situation. We are both on the same boat. Although I have given you an independent will, I don't want you to think too much and make me spend time dealing with you. Even if you want to escape my control, you must at least wait until I am done with it. Otherwise, if you make me fail, you will definitely not have a chance to escape. On the contrary, if I succeed, you will have a chance to truly be resurrected."
Qilin Mingtang is different from the other gods he has gathered.
Tao Du Weng and Xu Yu were not very intelligent at first. It could be said that I was the one who endowed them with wisdom, so they regarded me as their father god and were almost completely loyal to me.
Although Cao Shan is a fifth-rank deity, he was just a cook before and has an easy-going and relaxed personality.
However, the Qilin in front of him was a genuine top-level third-grade deity. The Tianyi Jade Disc that he had obtained was only of the third grade and was still in a broken state. If the Qilin could recover to a certain level of strength, it would have a chance to break free from the shackles of the Tianyi Jade Disc.
Moreover, Qilin was arrogant by nature, and he was working for Daxia. If he was not allowed to understand some of the deeper causes and consequences, it would always be troublesome for him to have random thoughts.
Qilin Mingtang carefully sorted out the information Zhou Tieyi had given him, revealing a smile that was uglier than bitterness, "I don't think I have any other choice."
Whether it is to avenge his own murder or to fully revive, helping Zhou Tieyi is the only and best choice.
And just like Zhou Tieyi said, if I had any tricks to make him fail, given the level of Zhou Tieyi's 'enemy', it would be even more impossible for me to turn the tables.
You can even borrow the power of your enemies.
Qilin Mingtang instantly realized that in addition to his cultivation, Zhou Tieyi's terrifying mind was also beyond the reach of a Qilin like himself who was used to a leisurely life.
Mingtang looked at the curses of the wronged souls of the mountain people that were temporarily separated by the true intentions of the Five Emperors, and said his only request, "If possible, I hope you can help me calm the wronged souls of the tribe and let their souls return to the underworld."
Zhou Tieyi thought about it for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
After the two reached a consensus, Zhou Tieyi released his restraints on Mingtang's spirit, allowing him to return to his own sea of destiny, and released the suppression of the Five Emperors' true intentions on the mountain man's soul curse, allowing these emotions of hatred and pain to cover Mingtang's mind again.
The deaths of these mountain people were caused by the encirclement and suppression by the Daxia army. Their hatred and pain were naturally directed towards the fate of the Daxia nation. Although I don't know how much use it will be, even if it plays one thousandth of the role, it will be good news for me.
With Mingtang as a substitute to carry the country's destiny on his behalf, Zhou Tieyi's gaze fell on Dantian again.
The Qilin Mingtang is just a superficial representation. He will bear the fate of the Great Xia nation on his behalf and condense the five elements' ancestral qi into a Gang.
Then one's core must be able to fight against the destiny of Daxia.
When he was at the eighth level of martial arts, Zhou Tieyi realized that he was very different from ordinary warriors because of the [Blood God Son]. Because of his authority, his own blood and qi inherently carried the nature of the ancestral qi of heaven and earth, so he could condense the qi twice when he was at the sixth level!
And now he was even more certain of this. He first looked at the pure black tiger talisman in his dantian. Although the tiger talisman existed in his dantian, he felt like looking up at the sun and the moon, which was out of reach and even farther away than the emptiness of Buddhism.
This is the tiger talisman that Baidi sealed in his body, which also contains the authority of the Blood Sea Lord that he usurped.
This is not only to protect himself, but also to prevent the inspection of the Emperor of Daxia.
Of course Zhou Tieyi had no way of returning the tiger talisman to the Emperor of Great Xia, so he asked the White Emperor if everything could be blamed on him.
After seeing the complete tiger talisman, Zhou Tieyi understood that this tiger talisman should belong to the White Emperor, not the Emperor of Great Xia.
As Baidi's corpse left the military tomb, it was natural for the tiger talisman to be taken away by Baidi. At least on the surface, the Emperor of Great Xia was not surprised at the result reported by Zhou Tieyi, nor did he ask too many questions.
