Volume V

Chapter 717

"Pestle Zun" did not speak, but the pair of dark green pupils quietly fell on Liu Yi's body.

The gaze that seemed to be like substance swept over Liu Yi's body, causing the latter's hairs to stand up instantly!

The gatekeeper of the ancestral land of the royal family, the tomb keeper of the tombs of the ancestors of the past dynasties, few people in the entire royal family know about his existence!

And whoever knows his identity is extremely respectful to him!

It is rumored that this pestle has existed as early as the beginning of the establishment of the Zhao State, and it is the "shadow" deliberately left by Liu Yin, the Taizu of the Zhao State, like a ghost imprinted under the Xuanwu Mountain.

"Pestle" has a long lifespan, from the death of Liu Yin, the ancestor of Zhao State, until Liu Yi ascended the throne and became emperor, the previous kings of Zhao State have met this person!

It is rumored that as long as the "Pestle Zun" does not leave the ancestral land of the royal family, he will have eternal life, but this is just a rumor.

And as long as it is within the scope of the ancestral land, the "Pestle Zun" has a terrifying cultivation that is so powerful!

Even if it is the king of the life wheel period, I am afraid that he must first weigh his own ability when he makes a move in front of him!

For the emperors of the Zhao Kingdom, the "Pestle Zun" is not only the tomb keeper of the kings' tombs, but also the spokesperson of the ancestors of the Zhao State who are sleeping in the ancestral land!

Even if Liu Yi's identity is the emperor of Zhao, he doesn't dare to make a mistake in front of the "Pestle Zun".

And if you want to see those "old monsters" in the depths of the ancestral land of the Zhao royal family, you must also pass through the approval of the "Pestle", otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation and trespassing, and will be killed on the spot by the "Pestle"!

Liu Yi, who is the ninety-five honor of Zhao Guo, can only hang his head in a proper manner when facing the "pestle honor", like an obedient lamb.

The pestle did not deliberately release any qi, but the black mist that lingered around him and the cold air that vaguely emanated from him echoed with the tomb of the former king, like a whole.

Don't look at this as a mausoleum, but in fact, it is like a huge fortress, with internal formations and prohibitions intertwined, and the slightest touch will lead to a certain death!

Don't look at Xuanjing City as the capital of the entire Zhao Dynasty, but in fact, Xuanwu Mountain is the core birthplace of the imperial power of the Zhao State!

Like a hand covering the sky and the sun, it lies in the sky above the Zhao Dynasty, controlling everything in the territory of the Zhao Kingdom!

At this time, the gaze of "Pestle Zun" still did not leave Liu Yi's body, and he did not slowly move away until a few breaths had passed.

However, even though he only had a few breaths, Liu Yi seemed to have spent a few years, his whole body was wet with sweat, and he quietly used his mana to evaporate it.

After a long time, the figure of "Pestle Zun" wrapped in black fog slowly turned around, turned his back to Liu Yi, and said in an indifferent tone:

"Let's go inside. ”

It was inaudible whether it was male or female, and there were countless overlapping sounds, as if thousands of ghosts were speaking at the same time, stating an insignificant matter at the same frequency and speed!

Hearing this, Liu Yi suddenly felt like he had been amnestied.

And the "Pestle Zun" slowly poked out a thin arm from the black fog and quietly pinched it towards the void in front of him!

Buzz –

As if a switch had been touched, on the straight cliffs on both sides, layers of brilliant and complex dense light patterns suddenly appeared, spreading towards the depths of the canyon like countless veins!

It can be seen that the endless light patterns are clearly constructed from a series of law runes!

Immediately after that, the scene in front of Liu Yi's eyes changed suddenly, and the cliffs on both sides were like a backward time scene, tearing towards Liu Yi's back!

In Liu Yi's trance, the rock walls on both sides had appeared behind him at some point, and Liu Yi's body appeared directly in an extremely empty and dark space!

Wow –

At this moment, a dark green candle flame was lit in the darkness, and the dim light instantly dispersed the entire space!

It was just a candle flame, but it covered every corner of the space in an extremely strange way!

And when Liu Yi saw the outline of this place clearly, his throat beads quietly rolled!

Because he suddenly realized that the place where he was actually in the middle of a huge valley!

At his feet, there was an altar with a radius of tens of zhang, and a pillar of fire lit out of thin air was erected in each of the eight directions around him, and an illusory figure was suspended in each firelight!

What suffocated Liu Yi was that behind each figure, there was a huge and boundless giant shadow, as if such a huge shadow was radiated because the light source of the pillar of fire was too close.

However, Liu Yi knew that the terrible shadow was not an illusion!

The light in this place seemed to be limited by some terrifying force, even if Liu Yi was a real King of the Wheel of Destiny, he could see clearly where ordinary monks couldn't see, but he could still barely see the scene in the shadows!

In each giant shadow, you can see an ancient sculpture nearly 100 feet tall, standing quietly there.

Each statue is presented with palms flush in front of the chest and palms up!

And the most critical point...... It's in their huge palms, and they're all completely ...... Holding a coffin!

Eight pillars of fire, eight coffins, all sunk into the shadows!

Each coffin exudes an ancient atmosphere, as if from a pre-eternity era.

Liu Yi could clearly feel that the aura of these eight coffins was like a black hole, and any divine consciousness or spiritual power that approached them would be swallowed up in an instant!

It's like eight terrifying beasts that devour the sky and the earth, quietly lurking there!

This is not the first time Liu Yi has entered the ancestral land, but it is the first time he has seen the eight coffins here!

In the depths of the ancestral land of the royal family of the Zhao Kingdom, there are many unfathomable powerhouses sleeping, which is something that most of the monks in the Zhao realm do not know, and only a few people at the top of the royal family know about it.

And the eight strong men sleeping in the eight coffins here are the real ...... behind the royal family of Zhao State Behind the scenes!

Don't look at the royal family of Zhao State who have gone through thousands of years of ups and downs, but in fact, if it weren't for these eight strong men deterring the powerful enemies around them, maybe the royal family of Zhao State would have been destroyed thousands of years ago!

Moreover, although the imperial family of Zhao has an undercurrent surging in private, many powerful contenders for the throne have been plotting for the throne of Emperor Zhao in a vain attempt to become the Ninth Five-Year Emperor.

But in fact, the ultimate attribution of the throne, its clapstick, is actually the eight "ancestor" level powerhouses here!

In other words, if it weren't for the fact that the eight powerhouses here recognized Liu Yi's inheritance of the throne, then no matter how iron-blooded Liu Yi's methods were, he wouldn't have been able to be this emperor!

These eight powerhouses control the true authority of the Zhao royal family.

It's just that Liu Yi is in charge of the affairs of the Zhao Dynasty, and they are in control of Liu Yi!

And this is also the reason why Liu Yi is extremely in awe and fear of them!

Even if Liu Yi is a king of the life wheel period, in front of the eight powerhouses here, he is still like an ant!

As long as Liu Yi has a little disobedience, it is easier for them to crush Liu Yi to death than to pinch an ant to death!

Because...... The eight powerhouses here, all of them are-

Sage!

Eight Sages!

If people who don't know the details of the Zhao royal family know about this matter, I'm afraid they will be directly scared, where can they dare to openly oppose the Zhao royal family?

But...... This is not the most terrifying thing about the royal family of Zhao State!

Liu Yi knew that there were eight sages behind the royal family of the Zhao State, and ordinary Xiuzhen sects or forces did not dare to compete with the Zhao State at all.

Behind these eight saints...... There are also three people who can be called the top figures in the history of the cultivation realm!

And these three Liu Yi don't dare to raise their eyes at all, the strongest person is the ultimate foundation of the Zhao royal family!

It is rumored that when the royal family of Zhao State had just been founded, the reason why Taizu Liu Yin was able to stabilize the country was because among the nine great generals under the command of the Holy King of Shenhan, there were three of the most powerful behind him!

It is precisely because of the existence of these three great gods that the surrounding cultivation forces, sects, and the other two dynasties dare not attack!

Strictly speaking, this rumor is actually true, and Liu Yi also knows it.

Because the three super powerhouses sleeping in the deepest part of the royal ancestral land are the legendary three god generals!

How strong these three god generals are, Liu Yi doesn't know.

But he knew that if it weren't for these three god generals, I am afraid that the territory of Zhao State would have been divided and broken by other forces long ago!

The three major dynasties sat on nearly half of the territory of Kyushu, and how many of them were spiritual veins and feng shui treasures monopolized by the Zhao State?

Such a fruitful fat sheep that no one covets? Is this possible?

It is only with the support of the three gods and generals under the throne of the gods and the eight saints behind the royal family that we can have today.

Liu Yi had heard a certain ancestor in the ancestral land say that behind the Spirit Beast Sect there was also a powerful master dormant that the Zhao royal family could not underestimate, and it was very likely that he was also a sage-level existence.

Therefore, in the past thousands of years, although the royal family of Zhao State has repeatedly clashed with the Spirit Beast Sect, they do not dare to make a big deal about it.

Because he understands that once the friction between the royal family and the Spirit Beast Sect escalates to a confrontation between the Sages, then I am afraid that it will not only affect the Spirit Beast Sect and the Royal Family, but most of Kyushu will be alarmed!

At that time, if the wolves escalate into a fierce eye, then the royal family is likely to be broken!

You must know that a dynasty as powerful as Shenhan could not escape the fate of falling apart, let alone the Zhao State!

Although there is no trace of the intervention of other sects or forces in the collapse of the Shenhan, it must not be one-sidedly believed that there is no Xiuzhen force behind the split of the Shenhan!

After all, there are many heritage left over from the Xianqin Dynasty, and the Shenhan can be called a thin camel bigger than a horse, and the background is both terrifying and easy for people to covet.

Moreover, the cultivation realm has the existence of "extreme path" forces, they are the ceiling of the cultivation realm's power level, and no one can surpass it!

The royal family of the Zhao State has more than a dozen sages and even great sages in charge, but in the final analysis, the Zhao Kingdom is just a cultivation country, not an extreme power!

If one day an Extreme Dao force suddenly intervenes here and sacrifices the Extreme Dao Emperor Soldiers......

Then even if there were a hundred saints, under the bombardment of the imperial soldiers, it would be absolutely impossible for the royal family of the Zhao State to survive!

With a single blow from the emperor's soldiers, even the galaxy can be cut off, and even the Great Dao of the Heavens can be sunk, let alone a mere Xiuzhen country!

And this time, the Spirit Beast Sect took the initiative to declare war on the royal family, which in Liu Yi's opinion...... I'm afraid it's not a good thing!

For a long time, the Spirit Beast Sect has maintained a tolerant attitude in the face of the oppression of the royal family, as long as the royal family does not do too much, the Spirit Beast Sect will not have too extreme counterattacks.

But at this time, with Luo Lianfeng's "declaration of war order" issued, the situation in the entire Zhao State is probably going to turn upside down!

He took a deep breath, his gaze swept over the phantoms in the eight pillars of fire around him, and then said respectfully:

Liu Yi, a descendant of the younger generations...... Alarm your ancestors...... I hope that the ancestors will forgive their sins!"

"Today...... Liu Yi is here to report an important matter to your ancestors!"

The Eight Phantoms did not react in any way, as if they remained in eternal sleep.

Liu Yi paused, adjusted his mood slightly, and then said in a deep voice:

"Spirit Beast Sect...... War declared!"

Wow –

As soon as the words fell, the eight phantoms in the pillar of fire around the altar shook at the same time, and then their tightly closed eyes opened in an instant!

The cold gaze projected towards Liu Yi, and at the same time, a suffocating coercion permeated with it!

Then, an old and cold voice slowly swayed!

"You say...... What?"
