The 500th immortal Cao Cao
The 500th immortal Cao Cao
Compared with the increase of level 3, the increase of level 4 is also obvious, which is probably equivalent to the late stage of Linghu Chong, who has learned Dugu Nine Swords, Star Absorbing Dafa, Yijin Sutra and other peerless learnings. The supernatural power attached to a level 4 immortal has its own set of standards, it may not be strong enough to stab thirty or fifty swords in a second, and those intuitive strength increases and agility increases can undoubtedly further enhance the individual combat ability of top immortals.
The divide between the immortals and the non-immortals is becoming more and more distinct.
Of course, it's getting harder and harder to move up the ranks. After Wei Dongsheng is promoted to level 4, the experience gain follows the rule that a difference of 1 level is a five-fold decay, that is, killing a level 4 immortal gives 10% experience points, killing a level 3 immortal gives 2% experience points, killing a level 2 immortal gives 0.4% experience points, and killing a level 1 immortal gives 0.08% experience points. At a time when the total number of immortal seeds is less than forty, the upgrade efficiency can be imagined.
Back to the Three Kingdoms pattern.
With the steady improvement in the number and quality of the Immortal Immortals of the Absolute Holy Gate, the Night Owl Special Operations Force has become more and more confident in countering warlords such as Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Liu Bei.
All kinds of abnormalities in the Absolute Holy Gate, such as Lu Kang living to be more than ninety years old without the slightest fatigue, such as the disciples of the Absolute Holy Gate who are different from ordinary people's eaves and wall exercises, Cao Cao and other princes will naturally not turn a blind eye.
Perhaps because the total number of immortal seeds is increasing, everyone has to see it one after another. Lujiang County Zhong Lingyuxiu's statement gradually became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and more and more celebrities from other counties rushed to Lujiang County to find opportunities such as natural materials and treasures. It's a pity that if you are one step late, you are thousands of miles away. The more the number and quality of the immortals under the command of the Absolute Holy Gate, the more efficient they are at collecting non-human immortals, and the fewer lucky loopholes left for ordinary people to exploit loopholes. In terms of quantity, the number of immortal seeds is increasing year by year; But in terms of probability, they are only getting farther away from ordinary people, not closer.
Perhaps because the effective scope law restricts all immortals to Lujiang County, the impact of the Absolute Holy Gate on the historical process of the Three Kingdoms over the years has been minimal. Compared with real-world history, Cao Cao is still the same Cao Cao, Sun Quan is still that Sun Quan, Liu Bei is still that Liu Bei, and many historical events are happening as usual. For example, Guan Yu's death, Guan Yu defeated Yu Ban and captured Xiangfan, and was immediately attacked by Lu Meng, and finally defeated Maicheng in embarrassment, almost 90% of which reproduced real history.
The crisis in Xiangfan was resolved, and Cao Cao Cao also reached the twilight of his ambition.
In real-world history, Cao Cao died of illness in early 220. A few months later, the second son Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty as emperor, and the country name was Wei. In the thousand-year-old killing world, when Cao Cao passed away, the historical process suddenly underwent a turbulent change.
Cao Cao has heard of the saying of strange treasures and strange heroes.
However, similar to Sun Ce, who resolutely gave up the seed of immortality, Cao Cao was unwilling to be grounded in the small Lujiang County. It is as strong as Wei Dongsheng, a level 4 immortal, and can only be compared to Linghu Chong in the later stage. The supernatural power attached to the immortal seed was simply unattractive to Cao Cao and other heroes. Don't say that Cao Cao, who is in the north, is Sun Quan, Liu Bei and other well-known civil and military ministers, who is willing to hide in Lujiang County and live a life with nothing to do?
However, Cao Cao couldn't turn a blind eye to the passive nature of immortal seeds. If Lu Kang did not fuse the seeds of immortality, and the immortals were all young men or prime of life such as Wei Dongsheng, Lu Xun, Zhou Yu, and Lu Su, everyone might still waste time doubting whether the sense of internal strength could prolong life; And now with Lu Kang's living example, the 94-year-old man is permanently stagnant in his fifties, and he is shocked to be able to jump as agile as an ape, who wouldn't be tempted?
Cao Cao has his eye on the longevity properties of immortal seeds.
Cao Cao was born in 155 and was 54 years old when he first made his first expedition to Hefei in 209. Kong Qiu said, fifty knows the destiny of heaven, and sixty is obedient. After two unsuccessful sieges of Longshu County, Cao Cao immediately had a clear understanding of the Absolute Holy Gate, and vaguely believed in the longevity of the alien heroes. From 210 to 219, Cao Cao appointed his cronies to patrol the edge of Lujiang County, or coerce, or lure, or assassinate, or offer rewards, not only successfully recruited two lone immortals, but also successfully captured a strange treasure for Cao Cao.
At the beginning of 220, Cao Cao's illness worsened and he could die at any time. If there were no immortal seeds in the world, Cao Cao could only return to Luoyang in despair and urgently arrange everything behind him. And with the Immortal Seed Anomaly, he personally felt the great horror between life and death, even if the price was to be trapped in Lujiang County forever, Cao Cao was willing to accept the bondage.
Compared with the hope of longevity, what kind of punishment is it to be grounded in Lujiang County!
Therefore, after the Xiangfan crisis was resolved, Cao Cao did not return to Xu County, Luoyang, Yecheng and other places, but rushed straight to Tatexian County in the northwest corner of Lujiang County, refining foreign treasures on the spot, and advancing to a level 1 immortal.
Indirectly fused with the seeds of immortality, Cao Cao's cell aging and aging diseases instantly stopped deteriorating. On that day, Cao Cao sat up in shock from his dying illness, talked and laughed for another year, and laughed wildly: "Hahaha, it turns out that the world is so mysterious. ”
Cao Cao is immortal.
The physiological mechanism changes, and so does the mental state.
At least, when Cao Cao realized that he could live to be ninety and one hundred years old like Lu Kang, he would definitely no longer have to be pessimistic and arrange the future.
As long as he Cao Cao is alive, everything is under control.
The price of immortality is also quite heavy, and Cao Cao has not been able to take half a step out of Lujiang County since then. Cao Cao has secretly explored a lot of secrets in recent years, Lu Kang, Yu Ji, Cao Cao and other old immortals, once they get out of the effective atmosphere of the immortal seed, the internal strength will escape and the vitality will burn rapidly, and it will turn into a pile of dry bones in just ten days. In other words, it is also because the rule that the immortal is not allowed to leave Lujiang County for half a step is becoming more and more known, Cao Cao will tolerate and allow Lu Kang to continue to occupy Lujiang County in the north, and Sun Quan will tolerate and allow Lu Su to defend Lujiang County in the south forever. By now, Cao Cao and Sun Quan both understood the helplessness of the immortals, they did not deliberately ignore the fate of the place, but were afraid of the laws of heaven and earth, and did not dare to go out of Lujiang County.
Cao Cao fused the Immortal Seed, and he had to abide by this iron rule from now on.
Looking back on Cao Cao's life, whether it was the Southern Expedition and the Northern Expedition, or the Eastern Expedition and the Western Expedition, almost every time he went out on a large expedition, he would personally supervise the army. Now that Cao Cao is trapped in Lujiang County, the personal conquest has since become an illusion, and this power must be ceded to other credible people. Cao Cao has deceived me all his life, and clearly understands that the soldiers and horses are strong and confident, and whoever can command the armies in the future will be the supreme leader. If Cao Cao wants to retreat but is unwilling to retreat, there will definitely be careerists who take advantage of Cao Cao's weakness to get out of Lujiang County from now on to do things.
In that case, let's be the emperor.
Cao Cao thought.
The day after the advanced immortal, Cao Cao orderly transferred the military and civil power to the heir Cao Pi. Cao Cao traced back to the system of Emperor Hui of the Western Han Dynasty, and changed the mechanism of the prime minister's monopoly on government to the co-governance of the left and right prime ministers, Cao Cao appointed himself as the left prime minister, and recommended Cao Pi as the right prime minister; King of Wei also operated in a similar way, Cao Cao passed the name of King Wei to Cao Pi, and he was honored as King Taishang.
In addition to MG, Cao Cao also paid attention to actual power. After recommending Cao Pi as the right prime minister, Cao Cao announced that he would directly govern Runan County, euphemistically reminding Cao Pi and the Han court that they had no right to interfere in the military and political affairs of Runan County. Not long after, Cao Cao abolished Yangquan County and merged it into the neighboring county Tatean County, renamed Tatean County as Tatean County, and finally cut Tatean County from Lujiang County and merged it into Runan County.
Wait a minute.
After a series of operations, Cao Cao garrisoned Tate'an County in the name of Prime Minister Zuo and King Taishang Wei.
Perhaps afraid of the night attack and assassination of the Absolute Holy Gate, Cao Cao did not use his power to force Wei Dongsheng, Lu Kang and other immortals to give up Lujiang County in the north, but reasoned and stopped in Tate'an County in the northwest corner of Lujiang County. In order to prevent Wei Dongsheng from making tricks such as Fan Jiao's thief assault, Cao Cao stationed elite troops in Yiyang County, Qisi County, Fubo County and other places outside the effective range of the immortal seed.
The night owl special operations force relied on the super individual quality of the immortals to fight at night, and when they left Lujiang County, their combat effectiveness was immediately reduced by nine-tenths. If Wei Dongsheng insisted on refusing Cao Cao to step into Lujiang County, in addition to Cao Cao's direct elite using the effective range of the immortal seed to lead the crowd to repeatedly attack the border of Lujiang County, Cao Pi and other Cao Cao Cao's heirs may also hold high the banner of revenge for their father and fight with Wei Dongsheng endlessly.
After considering it for a few days, Wei Dongsheng acquiesced to Cao Cao's permanent residence in Tate'an County.
Outside Lujiang County, Cao Cao Feilong is in the sky, and Wei Dongsheng can't afford to provoke him; When he arrived in Lujiang County, Cao Cao didn't want to rely on his former prestige anymore. In this small Lujiang County, the Absolute Holy Gate can completely lay a net of heaven and earth, saying that if Cao Cao is assassinated today, Cao Cao will not be able to live until tomorrow. For the sake of the long-term peace and stability of Lujiang County, Wei Dongsheng sent Lu Xun to attack Cao Cao's bedroom at night that night, leaving a note to warn him: "Tateshi County and Yangquan County can give it to you, but they can't give it to you in vain." ”
Lu Xun can leave a note in Cao Cao's bedroom, and naturally he can also cut off Cao Cao's head with a sharp blade.
Seeing the note left by Lu Xun the next morning, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a chill in his back. Cao Cao angrily tried to destroy the Holy Gate regardless of his casualties, but reason told him that his madness would only hasten his death. The two immortals recruited by Cao Cao Cao are both lowest-level level 1 immortals. On the other hand, the Absolute Holy Gate, which is getting stronger and stronger, has more than ten second-level immortals, and Lu Xun, Wei Dongsheng's personal disciple, has advanced to a third-level immortal. The difficulty of Lu Xun's assassination of Cao Cao Cao is similar to Yue Buqun's assassination of Qingcheng Sixiu of the Qingcheng faction in the early days of the head of the Huashan faction, which is as easy as a finger. If Cao Cao insisted on refusing to bow his head, perhaps tonight, the Assassins of the Absolute Holy Gate would cut off his head.
The situation is stronger than the man.
When I arrived in Lujiang County, it was the dragon you coiled for me, and the tiger you lay down for me.
The sky and the earth are big, and the Absolute Holy Gate of Lujiang County is the largest.
If you want to live in peace, you must bow down to my Holy Gate.
Cao Cao was slow to recall the fear of being dominated by royal power.
When He Jin was not dead, Cao Cao was only one of the eight captains of the West Garden; Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court said that he would be dismissed, and Cao Cao would have to go back to Qian County to live idlely. Cao Cao was not born to be a very human minister, it can be said that before he drove the Han Emperor Liu Xie, and even before the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao Cao had been holding his tail and behaving very well, and he understood the difference between the lord and the concubine. Now in order to prolong his life, Cao Cao has to pick up the concubine mentality that has been sealed by him.
