329 The ancient Emperor

“Fellow Daoist Lu, what kind of sword technique is this?”

“Fellow Daoist Lu, can you tell me what you think about the Dao of the sword?”

“Fellow Daoist Lu, Qianqian.”

Lu Qing was extremely annoyed.

In the past, it was not that he had not heard of Bai Nantian. After all, he was very famous in the entire Yan country and was a very famous peerless genius. Later on, he had successfully fulfilled his potential and entered the Golden core stage before stepping into the nascent Soul Stage.

According to the rumors, he was a handsome, suave, and suave man who could kill all his enemies with a single sword strike. He was a very cool and flirtatious person.

But no matter what the rumors were, they had never said that this guy was such a Chatterbox!

After he killed zou ziwu and Bai Nantian and witnessed Lu Qing’s heaven splitter, he had become like this.

Actually, after thinking about it carefully, Lu Qing could also imagine why Bai Nantian was acting this way.

Bai Nantian could be considered as a simple-minded person. In his past life, his entire life experience was probably mainly focused on two things-cultivation and fighting.

Growing up in Yunxiao sect, the number one sect in the country of Yan, he was a proud Son of Heaven from a young age. He was taken in as a disciple by a master in the sect’s upper echelons, and then he grew up. He did not need to scheme against others and was naturally the Yunxiao sect’s first seat of that generation. He had been talented all along, and with the guidance of his elders, coupled with his own combat strength, he only needed to cultivate properly, and his strength would naturally increase. Occasionally, he would take some time to travel around, and naturally, he would have a very strong strength and a very high status.

Bai Nantian never needed to think about all those messy things and his character had gradually developed to the point where he only cared about his cultivation and did not care about anything else.

When facing an ordinary person, he would at most show some basic respect between people. It was definitely impossible to do anything more.

However, when he had displayed his powerful abilities, especially in the path of the sword, which had far exceeded Bai Nantian’s imagination, his intense passion for Dao was naturally triggered.

Of course, Lu Qing could sense that other than the admiration in Bai Nantian’s heart, his greatest wish was to learn this sword technique from Lu Qing.

It was very normal for people who were devoted to the sword to want to learn the heaven splitting sword technique that Lu Qing had displayed.

It was impossible for him to teach her unless Bai Nantian was willing to join the Lu family.

That wouldn’t work either. The [ sacred white sword manual ] was a cultivation technique that could only be cultivated by those with golden heaven spiritual roots. In terms of spiritual roots, Bai Nantian was not compatible with this cultivation technique.

Of course, no matter what, Bai Nantian was still the most talented person in Yunxiao sect. He could also be said to be the youngest nascent soul cultivator in the entire Yan country. Furthermore, he had saved Bai Nantian’s life. It would not be a problem for him to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with Bai Nantian.

Along the way, Lu Qing patiently answered Bai Nantian’s passionate and curious questions.

However, this was not a long time.

Soon, the two of them arrived at their final destination-the Imperial Palace of the Yan Kingdom.

The Imperial Palace was silent.

At the entrance of the palace, a few Imperial Army guards trembled as they looked at the huge Dragon in the air, as well as the two people standing on the head and floating beside it.

Previously, the two of them and zou Zi Wu were at the entrance of the inner city of Yan city. Even the dullest mortals could clearly sense the fluctuations of the intense battle. Not to mention, the Imperial Army guards guarding the gate were all Foundation establishment cultivators.

They clearly knew that the two people and the Dragon in front of them could evaporate them with a casual breath. The only thing that allowed them to stand here with weapons in their hands and guard the palace gate was their loyalty and duty.

Even if he was dead, he could not lose his bearing.

After all, they represented the face of the royal family.

However, Lu Qing and Zhou donghuang did not have any intention of dealing with the Imperial Guards.

There was no need for that.

The current Yan city, in terms of defense, was almost empty. The main force of the Imperial Guards had been deployed to the front line of Pingzhou. Zou ziwu, who was leading the troops, could be a fake, but were the 30000 Imperial Guards all fake? That was not realistic, and Yunxiao sect was not really a fool.

After zou ziwu was killed by Lu Qing, there should be no one else in Yan city who could stop the two of them.

There was no need to barge into the palace.

After all, the Yan Emperor’s breakthrough was in the sky above Yan city, on the man-made cloud platform.

Of course, Lu Qing still remembered the exact location of the platform.

let’s go! he called out and flew up with Bai Nantian.

After passing through a layer of clouds, Bai Nantian asked in confusion, ” “The Yan Emperor’s breakthrough is here? But I didn’t see anything.”

“There’s an illusion barrier.” Lu Qing stomped his feet as he spoke.

After the Dragon Soul under his feet received the instructions, it followed the direction Lu Qing pointed and spat out a violent ray of starry wood sword fire.

The area covered by the Dragon Fire was originally empty. Bai Nantian felt that something was amiss.’Why did they set the fire blindly?’

However, when the flames shot into the clouds, Bai Nantian noticed something. After the thick clouds were blown away, a huge square hole was revealed.

The empty space was the same as the surrounding environment. One could imagine that if it wasn’t for the large-scale attack, even if one were to crash into it, one wouldn’t be able to see the difference between this place and the surrounding areas.

Even though they were not too far away from the platform, Bai Nantian could not see anything before Lu Qing attacked.

This was not because Bai Nantian’s perception was too weak. On the contrary, he was considered outstanding among nascent soul realm cultivators in this aspect. This could only be said to be the illusion barrier that li Shiwen had set up outside his breakthrough platform. The level was too high.

At that time, Lu Qing was able to discover the platform hidden by the illusionary barrier purely because he could ignore the terrain, the restrictive spells, and the characteristics of being able to move freely. Then, he flew over the sky of the Imperial Palace inch by inch. He spent a lot of time before he crashed into it.

However, the flames that the Dragon Soul spurted out with all its might made the illusion barrier unable to continue concealing itself.

The illusionary barrier was still working hard, but under the powerful impact, it could not hide the situation inside without any flaws. historical

Even with the naked eye, one could see what was hidden in the huge Square area.

“It seems like li Shiwen is hiding inside.” Bai Nantian summoned his magic sword excitedly and said, ” hurry up and break this formation. Go in and stop li Shiwen from breaking through. If he was forcefully interrupted during his breakthrough, even if li Shiwen doesn’t die, he’ll be half dead. He definitely won’t be able to do anything to us, and our mission is considered complete.”

All he wanted to do now was to quickly settle the matter at Yan city. Then, he would be able to ask Lu Qing for advice on sword techniques ... Even though he did not know if Lu Qing was willing to teach him.

However, Lu Qing knew that the matter was not that simple. It was not time to say that it could be resolved.

Li Shiwen wouldn’t place all his hopes on zou ziwu’s success.

The Prime Minister of Great Yan was indeed loyal to li Shiwen, and he was very talented. Although the spiritual roots were relatively ordinary, in terms of cultivation, talent was important. Individual opportunities, hard work, and perception were also very important. Zou ziwu was the one who was more outstanding in the latter.

...

But no matter what, he was only nascent soul state level three.

Li Shiwen’s biggest goal was to hold back Yunxiao sect’s Weiyun. It was already fortunate that this Dharma stage expert was being held at the front line by the Wei state’s great general Xia Cang and could not move.

In fact, the Wei Kingdom’s Northern Expedition was even more intense than what li Shiwen had planned in the past. This proved that the Wei State also had its own ambitions in this matter, and it was hard not to worry.

But then again, objectively speaking, this was a great help to li Shiwen. The Northern Expedition of the Wei Kingdom not only held back the Dharma stage expert, Wei Yun, but also allowed him to perform beyond his usual standards. Most of the nascent Soul Stage experts of the Yunxiao sect had to stay at the front line obediently. The only person who could be dispatched was Bai Nantian.

Li Shiwen, who was in the middle of a breakthrough, was completely unaware of the situation outside. In fact, after li Shiwen started his breakthrough, zou ziwu was the one who was in charge of the progress of various matters in the outside world.

When he realized that Bai Nantian was the only one who entered Yan city, zou Zi Wu felt that His Majesty’s breakthrough was a foregone conclusion. The last tricks His Majesty had left behind could not be used.

However, Lu Qing’s interference made it so that there was nothing else to say.

In reality, when Lu Qing appeared and used the rain of purification to nullify his greatest technique, he had already felt that he might die.

Although it was a pity that he was going to die, he did not feel panicked at all.

Even though he had died, the emperor’s breakthrough could not be interrupted.

He also believed that the trump card left behind by His Majesty would be able to stop Lu Qing and Bai Nantian.

...

......

Lu Qing was also aware of li Shiwen’s final move.

After all, before this, he had been monitoring the Emperor of Great Yan every day in his consciousness form, so he knew everything about his arrangements.

When Lu Qing was dealing with zou ziwu, it could only be considered a warm-up for him.

Right now, this was li Shiwen’s last guarantee and also his biggest challenge.

The Dragon Fire continued to spray at the platform until the illusionary barrier that surrounded the entire platform completely lost its effect under the turbulent spiritual energy, revealing the lineup inside.

A huge metal platform was floating in the clouds under the protection of a square light film.

This square-shaped light membrane was clearly a very powerful defensive formation.

However, this defensive array alone could not hold the two nascent soul cultivators for too long, no matter how powerful this array was.

Even if the formation was powerful, it would only be temporary if no one was controlling it. Unless the difference in their levels was too great, how could they stop two nascent soul cultivators for a few days, a month or two, or even a year? In a year’s time, the array would be destroyed sooner or later, even if there was a spirit vein behind it.

Now, there was indeed someone behind the array, but it was only li Shiwen who staggered.

No, why was there another one?

After the illusion barrier disappeared, Lu Qing and Bai Nantian were shocked to see that other than the Emperor, who was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the platform with his eyes closed as he attempted to break through the barrier, there was another person at the edge of the platform!

He was wearing a solemn long robe, which was black with Golden Dragon patterns embroidered on it, exactly the same as the clothes of the Emperor of Yan Dynasty. The crown was worn on his head, and the tassel made of jade beads did not move at all.

This person looked like a middle-aged man. His facial features were slightly similar to li Shiwen, who had his eyes closed. However, there was no light in his eyes, and he did not look like a living person.

“Who is this? Why is there another person?” Bai Nantian’s voice was filled with doubt.

this is the third emperor of Great Yan Dynasty, ” Lu Qing’s voice faintly rang out.

“He’s still alive?” Bai Nantian’s eyes narrowed immediately.

He tried his best to look through his memories. He vaguely remembered that he had read about the third emperor of Great Yan in a record somewhere. His name was li yunzhe, and he was a top-tier expert in the Dharma stage!

In that distant era, the situation in the Yan Kingdom was not like what it was now. At that time, although Yunxiao sect had already been established, it was only a local sect in the Wu State. It was not even considered an Overlord in the Wu State and was far from its current status and level.

At that time, the Imperial court of Yan country was the most powerful and ruled the seven states of Yan country. The power of the Emperor could really be carried out to every inch of the country.

Of course, as the power of the sects grew, and the later generations of the royal family no longer had any Masters in the Dharma stage, the Yan Kingdom became the current situation where the sects dominated, and the authority of the Emperor was suppressed.

But Xuan Ji and Li Yunxian were people from thousands of years ago. Even a Dharma stage cultivator couldn’t have lived for so long.

Then, what was the Li yunzhe he was looking at now?

Bai Nantian could not help but look at Lu Qing, who was beside him, with a probing gaze.

“He died a long time ago. This is his shed skin.” Lu Qing explained to Bai Nantian, who was his temporary teammate, ” however, li yunzhe died in battle. He did not die from the end of his life. At the time of his death, his dharma body still retained a lot of power. After being repaired by the Li royal family, he was turned into a living corpse.”

Seeing that Bai Nantian’s expression was a little strange, Lu Qing added, ” however, this living corpse only has a very subtle soul left. It has no ability to think and only has basic combat instincts. Moreover, since he doesn’t have a complete soul and has been dead for so many years, his body’s activity has greatly decreased. It’s impossible for him to have the strength of a true materialization realm expert. Don’t worry about that.”

Bai Nantian heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, ” “If that’s the case, then it’s fine, Yingluo.”

“But don’t be too careless. After all, he was only a materialization when he was alive, and I don’t know what will happen if we fight. If the pressure is too great, I won’t have the time to protect you. Be careful and don’t die.”

Nascent Soul Stage Level 1 and Level 2 said,’I don’t have time to protect you’

Bai Nantian’s expression was a little odd. He was feeling somewhat uncomfortable and unconvinced. However, he immediately recalled the battle with zou ziwu, especially that heaven-shattering sword. Hence, he could only suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart.

The Dragon Soul that Lu Qing was riding on stopped spewing Dragon Fire. Within the formation, the ancient Emperor was only looking at the two people outside with a pair of listless eyes. There was no movement for the time being.

This stalemate continued for a while, and the atmosphere was a little tense.

“Why didn’t he do it?” Bai Nantian asked.

The Living Corpse will only start when the strength of the array is reduced to less than half.

“Then what are we waiting for?”

“Wait for my sword.”

“Your sword?” Bai Nantian was puzzled for a moment before he became excited.

Indeed, he had never seen Lu Qing’s weapon. Earlier, when Lu Qing had displayed the sky-splitting sword move, he had also done so empty-handed.

In his mind, all the top sword cultivators had a beloved sword. Only with a sword in hand could he display his full strength.

He could not wait to see how Lu Qing’s sword would look like.

And this wait, took almost a day.

A day later, Bai Nantian sensed two streams of light flying over from a distance. Then, they landed in Lu Qing’s hands.

It was a pure white sword with an ancient design. The other item was a scepter with a Dark Blue Pearl fixed on the top.

“Aren’t you a sword Xiu?”

“Who told you I’m a sword Xiu?” Lu Qing held a sword in his right hand and a staff in his left. He did not waste any more time talking to Bai Nantian. let’s do it. No one is maintaining the formation. It won’t take long before we can reduce the defensive strength of the formation to less than half. However, don’t use too much strength when you fight. Don’t tire yourself out, you still have to deal with the living corpses.”

“I understand.”

The two of them began to fight.

The formation that no one was maintaining was still quite strong under their hands. After all, it was something that li Shiwen used to protect himself from breaking through. It was normal for it to be strong. If there was a real nascent soul cultivator inside who could connect to the level six spirit vein formation, it would take more than a few days or two months to break it by force.

But unfortunately, he didn’t.

Even though Lu and Bai were holding back, using a more healthy method to wear down the strength of the formation, after about a day, the strength of the formation continued to drop, finally falling to the critical point of less than half.

Sensing this, the two of them maintained their output while closely watching li yunzhe, the ancient Emperor.

There was no change in the zombie li yunzhe’s gaze, but his body suddenly moved.

He stood up at the edge of the platform, then, without a word, he floated up expressionlessly.

Lu and Bai stopped at the same time. They watched the Emperor of Great Yan, a Dharma master from thousands of years ago, pass through the light film of the defensive formation and float in front of them.
