Chapter 1: A Hundred Years Later

Time flies, years pass, in the blink of an eye, a hundred years pass in a flash. The Hualong Empire, once the overlord, has fallen in history. Nowadays, large areas of territory have been replaced by three small states, namely the Huaguang Empire, the Kaihong Empire, and the Chaoyuan Empire.

Among them, the Huaguang Empire is a royal descendant of the Hualong Empire, which has long since fallen, and has risen mythically again after its fall. However, the other two countries were so strong that they could not recover all the lands left by their ancestors.

On the other hand, the Kaihong Empire is powerful, has a large number of soldiers, and is full of talents, so it is not easy to defeat it.

It can be said that the achievements of the Kaihong Empire today have to be attributed to the general of the Zhenguo Dynasty - Xuan Innocent.

"Roar!"

This is a wilderness in the wild, a black-crowned eagle soars into the air, dozens of meters long and its figure covers the sky and the sun, and it can blow a gust of wind in the air, blowing leaves one after another.

Although it is a bird, it can let out a wild roar.

"Phew!"

However, at this moment, a sound of breaking the air sounded. It was a huge black arrow that shot into the air, shooting at this huge demonic bird.

As a result, the black-crowned eagle was hit by an arrow in the head, and the blood-soaked old man immediately fell, and with a "boom", a big hole was smashed in the ground.

"Third son, this beast has been defeated. Presumably, its blood is enough for you to use. "A burly man in armor in his thirties appeared. With a large bow in hand, he came to the corpse of the black-crowned eagle.

Behind him, followed by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, an extraordinary bearing, and a solemn color spread on his face. The skin is bronzed, the result of a long period of training in the wild.

At this moment, the young man came to the body of the black-crowned eagle, with a smile on his face, and said, "Enough, the blood of this black-crowned eagle is already satisfied with me, we can get up and go back to the general's mansion." ”

"Third Young Master, are you sure enough to enter the first realm of the monk? If you are not sure, just go back like this, and the Xuan Lord will punish you heavily. The big man in the armor laughed.

"With the blood of this fierce beast, I estimate that I can remove the obstacles in my body and enter the first realm. The boy stared at the corpse of the black-crowned eagle with fiery eyes.

"Since the third young master is so sure, then I am relieved. After a year of training outside, if there are no achievements, I'm afraid that even I won't have the face to see Master Xuan when I go back. The armored man spoke, looking relieved.

And the third young master in his mouth is the famous general of the Kaihong Empire today, the third son of Xuan Innocent, named Xuantian.

In order to be able to enter the first realm of the monk, Xuantian specially came to the wilderness of the empire to exercise himself, and he still has more than a year to do. And the armor man is the guard that Xuan innocent sent to his son, the wilderness is terrifying, there are many wild beasts and big insects, so he can't rest assured, so he sent this armor man.

In these years, Xuantian has been able to survive in the wild until now, all thanks to this armored man. Just now, the black-crowned eagle was also shot down by this armored man.

"Good fellow, this black-crowned eagle seems to be some years old, and the strength in the blood is even more amazing than I imagined. Xuantian showed joy, and at this time, he stepped forward and took out the jar, ready to collect the blood of the black-crowned eagle.

"Roar!"

However, at this moment, an amazing roar sounded not far away, and the sound waves were terrifying, shaking people's souls, and many leaves trembled because of it.

"It's not good, it's a mixed blood prison, the blood is very vigorous, and he is an adult. It is rare to encounter such a behemoth on the outskirts of such a wilderness. The armored man was shocked, and he found the comer.

Among the bushes, there stood a blood-red pugao, dozens of meters high, with horns on the head, red eyes, and a face covered with red scales, very burly, just standing, giving people a sense of majesty.

"No, let's go. Otherwise, it's dangerous. The armored man was shocked, and immediately released a ray of light and put away the body of the black-crowned eagle. Immediately after, he lifted Xuantian's body, and immediately turned into a black light and fled from here.

"Boom!"

Pu Lao was terrifying, chased after him, stomped down, and moved the hills along the way to the ground, such a power is amazing. As if nothing could stop it.

"Roar!"

After half a pillar of incense, another roar sounded, this is a green ox with dragon horns on its head, it is a relict of the wilderness.

This is the mount of the armored man, fortunately it appeared in time, carrying the two of them out of this wilderness, and the speed is extremely fast, and the mountains and rivers are like flat ground. Finally got rid of the pursuit of Pu Lao.

"It's gone. Now you can rest assured. Xuantian turned around and forgot to glance at it, and saw that there was no trace of Pu Lao, and the big stone in his heart also fell.

"Third Young Master, that black-crowned eagle, after returning to the mansion, I will give it to you! The armored man spoke.

"Okay, then go back to the General's Mansion first. Xuantian nodded and agreed.

The scenery flew by, and the relics of the desolation where the armored man sat galloped, emitting a glowing green light, as if a meteor crossed the sky and disappeared in a flash.

Such a speed is terrifying. In just two days, the two of them had crossed tens of thousands of miles of land and arrived at the imperial capital of the Kaihong Empire from the wilderness.

Closer, the imperial city of the Kaihong Empire is huge, and from a distance, it looks like a giant, giving people a majestic and peaceful atmosphere. The ancient city wall, gray and black, has traces of history, and there are spots on it, all of which are sword wounds, which are left by the war of the past years.

This is the imperial capital of the empire, and the layout is naturally extraordinary, with a pair of soldiers guarding the city gate, and even a few desolate relics on the side, jointly guarding the city.

"Roar!"

At that moment, a roar rang out, and the sound wave shook the sky, shaking the small stones on the ground.

"What's that? It seems to be a green ox xenomorph. ”

"Such xenomorphs are rare, and those who come may not be simple. ”

The soldiers guarding the imperial city immediately defended it strictly, as if facing a great enemy. After all, this is the imperial capital of the empire, and there can be no mistakes.

Eventually, the youth finally arrived and stopped not far in front of the Imperial City. The armored man led Xuantian down the desolate beast, and then walked towards the imperial city.

"Who is coming? The emperor has ordered that no one should be allowed to enter this city without permission. "The leading soldier shouted, ready to intercept.

When the armored man heard this, he didn't get angry, but shouted, "Stupid, when you were in the General's Mansion, I trained you! ”

The soldier was dumbfounded, carefully identified, and found that this was indeed the case, so he immediately smiled and said, "Sure enough, it is the Dragon Protector, I said that the green cow is a little familiar." ”

With that, he made a gesture and motioned for the soldiers to let him go.

Entering the imperial capital, the armored man did not ride the green ox again, this is the imperial capital, with many big people, and various rules. Although he is a figure with a head and face in the general's mansion, he can't walk sideways unscrupulously.

The General's Mansion is located in the center of the imperial capital, this ancient city is huge, and the two of them walked for half an hour before they came to the front of the General's Mansion.

"It's the third prince, are you back?" The old man guarding the General's Mansion rubbed his eyes, and then his eyes lit up, and he recognized Xuantian.

"Yes, Cheng Lao, I have been training outside, and now I have returned. Xuantian nodded, and then smiled kindly.

"But, Third Young Master, why hasn't your realm entered the threshold of a monk yet? Just come back like this, I'm afraid it's not easy for the Xuan Lord to explain!" Cheng Lao hesitated, showing a worried look, he looked at Xuantian non-stop, and finally confirmed that he had not entered the threshold of a monk.

"It's okay, I'll explain it to him. It's just that I want to know, where is my father now?" Xuan Tian smiled, and then asked.

"Lord Xuan should be the same, in the courtyard of the backyard!" Cheng Lao said without thinking.

"Okay, Cheng Lao, I'll go in. Xuantian said hello, and then entered the general's mansion. As for the armored man, he placed his mount.

"This kid didn't reach the threshold of a monk, and he dared to come back, and he didn't know what tricks were sold in the gourd. Cheng Lao looked at Xuantian's back and shook his head.

In the General's Mansion, in a courtyard filled with the fragrance of flowers and floating pink petals, there stood a burly figure, looking in his thirties, with a solemn aura exuded as a whole, which seemed to be majestic and inviolable.

This is, he suddenly spoke, "You're back?"

"Yes, after a year and a half of training outside, it's time to come back. Around the corner, Xuantian's figure appeared, and he walked towards the courtyard.

"You didn't reach the threshold of a monk, and you still have the face to come back. You know, it's just a waste, and it takes more than half a year to enter this threshold. The middle-aged man turned around, and the anger on his face seemed to be a caterpillar crawling, terrifying.

This person is the master of the General's Mansion and the father of Xuantian, Xuan is innocent.

"Give me another half a month, and I can enter the threshold of the monk, you can watch!" Xuantian was not in a hurry, he had already thought of the language of the dialogue.

"Okay, I'll watch, you go down!" the middle-aged man waved his hand and motioned for it to stand back.

When Xuantian left, Xuan innocent showed a wry smile, and the disappointment on his face was also easy to see.

"Squeak!"

At this time, the door of the north wing in the courtyard suddenly opened. Out of it came a middle-aged young woman, about thirty years old, very beautiful, with a hint of blush on her cheeks, giving people a beautiful and gentle feeling. It is the wife of the General's Mansion, whose name is Ge Ting.

"Innocent, don't be angry with Tian'er anymore. You just let him go! But you, the DPRK and China have been busy lately, so you should pay more attention to your body. She came to the middle-aged man and said softly.

"If the Son does not teach, the Father is guilty. I think its qualifications are obviously very good, surpassing ordinary people. But nowadays, it's not even a piece of waste. Xuan innocently sighed, the look of pain on his face was obvious.

As a father, his son has no achievements, and it is naturally very sad to be a father.

"Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault. One qiē is the result of Tian'er's lack of effort. Ge Ting sighed, and at this time helped her husband back to the west wing.

It can be said that on this day, even the general of Zhenguo, Xuan Innocent, was very tired, and this qiē was all because of his third son, who was not successful. In his opinion, no matter how hard Xuantian tried, he would definitely not enter the realm of the first layer of 'body refining'.

On the other side, Xuantian had already returned to his room, which contained the black-crowned eagle that the armor man had already sent, and even the blood armor man had already helped him extract it.

"This guy is delicate. Xuantian shook his head and smiled, then picked up the jar and drank the blood inside.

After half a pillar of incense, Xuantian settled on the edge of the bed, and then his face showed a look of struggle. He was removing impurities from his body, and with the help of the overbearing blood of the desolate beast, he could speed up the process.

Only by laying a good foundation and driving out the impurities in the body can we grow stronger in the future.

The human body, the most mysterious thing in heaven and earth. Its interior is filled with strangely shaped veins and acupuncture points. It is a treasure trove of deserved.

Human beings believe that only by developing their own body's abilities can they achieve a never-ending path of cultivation. After all, many people believe that the human body has unlimited potential.

And this realm, the realm of refining the body, is even more valued by human cultivators and considered to be the most important thing. There are some elderly people who believe that this is related to the future in the future.

The purpose of human body refining is to strengthen the body, so that the body can better absorb the essence of the heaven and earth, so as to strengthen one's own body.

This step is very complicated, requiring the monk to rely on his own potential to slowly exhaust the impurities in the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and then he can rely on the power of the tendons and veins to absorb the essence of heaven and earth for the use of the body.

It is worth mentioning that the essence of heaven and earth is incomparably strong, and some people have forcibly absorbed it, but the body is as if it has been cut by a knife, life is worse than death, and finally the essence of the qi exploded and died.

If you want to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, you can only use the eight veins of the Qi Jing to condense the essence of heaven and earth first, and then devour it to the body after it is docile, so that you can be foolproof.

This is the method of refining the body used by all human monks nowadays, and it is widely respected.

A day later, Xuantian opened his eyes, looked down, and found that his body was already dark, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

He said to himself, "Very good, there is still half a month to go, and I will definitely be able to reach the threshold of a monk." ”

Half a month later.

"Buzz!"

In the early morning of this day, the sun is rising. A slight concussion sounded from an elegant room.

"I have finally entered the realm of body refining, and I can happily absorb the essence of heaven and earth in the future. Xuantian was excited, looking at his body excitedly.

There was nothing on the surface of his flesh, but when he looked closely, he saw that it was reddening, like a ripe crab.

And Xuantian himself can feel the current situation, he feels that his whole body is full of vitality, his qi and blood are very vigorous, and he seems to have endless strength to volatilize.

"Great. Nowadays, I force all the impurities in my body out of my body, and some of them are integrated into my veins. Others need to use their muscles and veins to absorb the essence qi, and they should weaken it first. I, on the other hand, can be directly absorbed by my body and can be unimpeded. Xuantian muttered to himself, and the pride on his face was obvious.

This is the reason why his cultivation has been slow for more than a year. He wants to become stronger and take a different route from ordinary people.

On the other side, inside the courtyard. Xuan Innocent was sitting cross-legged on the boulder, swallowing the essence of heaven and earth. Suddenly, he seemed to feel something, and his eyes shot out two rays of light at once, looking towards the room where Xuantian was.

"Is it ......?"

Xuan was innocent and sluggish, a little incredulous, but his face showed a bright smile. He immediately got up and walked towards the room where Xuantian was.

A minute later, Xuantian's door creaked!", and it was pushed open.

"Dad, you're here......" Xuantian exclaimed happily.

"It was just ...... You have indeed stepped into the realm of body refining. "Xuan was innocently surprised, his realm was far higher than the realm of body refining, so he only needed to feel the breath to know the result.

"Yes. I've stepped into this realm. Xuantian said proudly.

"Good, good. Now, you've finally added some face to my face. Xuan innocently smiled, it was joy from the heart.

Xuantian is proud, as a son, being able to hear the praise of his elders, his heart is naturally extremely happy.

However, at this time, his smile suddenly froze, and then his face distorted.

"Painful ......" Xuantian shouted, then hugged his head with both hands, and only struggled a few times before falling to the head of the bed.

"Oh my God...... Tian'er ......" Xuan innocently shouted, his face full of worry. He hurriedly stepped forward to help.

At this moment, the door of the room squeaked again. It was Xuantian's mother, Ge Ting, who heard some noises not far away, so she immediately rushed over.

"How's it going?" she was anxious, and there was still a cry on her face. This is the youngest son, and she is the most distressed.

"Tian'er's headache has flared up again. This is the second time this year. Xuantian Wu spoke, and his tone was very solemn.

He had three sons in his lifetime.

The eldest son's name is Xuan Wuxian, the second son is extraordinary, his body exudes a faint light when he is born, and his physique is very special, and no one can recognize what physique it is. But the results of cultivation are very amazing, and all along, the realm is far beyond that of people of the same age, and he is known as a genius on the way to cultivation. There was an old immortal in the palace who wanted to accept him as a disciple, but he refused, and at that time, the news was shocking.

His second son, whose name is Xuan Ming, is not trivial, very good. When he was just born, his body actually carried a burst of fragrance, and it was said that it was also a rare physique in 10,000 years, and he was not weaker than his elder brother in cultivating this talent.

As for the third son, Xuantian. Speaking of this little son, Xuan's innocent face was full of weird colors. Speaking carefully, this third son is also extraordinary, when he was born, he actually carried a piece of black iron as big as a fingernail in his palm, which was deeply embedded in the flesh.

In order not to hurt this little son, he carefully took out this black iron piece from the flesh and blood, but no matter how he studied, he couldn't study the slightest thing, only knew that this black iron piece was very hard, and ordinary soldiers could not leave any traces on it.

In desperation, Xuan innocent had no choice but to find a red rope, tie it up, and hang it around his youngest son's neck. After all, this is something he was born with, and what he says is also a godsend, if you can't get it right, there will be auspiciousness in it!

Of course, it is not just the black iron piece that is born with this natural entrainment that makes Xuan innocent feel dignified. It's something else, and that's the peculiar problem that the third son was born with.

Speaking of which, their family is really weird. The birth of the first two sons was extremely extraordinary, and there were auspicious signs. His youngest son, however, was born with a strange illness - headache.

Every year, Xuantian would have one seizure, or even two or three seizures, and each seizure would be painful until he finally fell into a coma.

For this reason, Xuan innocent has probed his youngest son's body many times after he was asleep, but found nothing.

Even the top-grade imperial doctor in the palace, he has looked for it several times, but it is still fruitless.

"Hmm!"

When Xuantian woke up again and opened his heavy eyelids, he saw a simple and gorgeous room. He was stunned, this is too familiar, isn't it his parents' room?

He turned his head, and sure enough, his father's burly body was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"You're awake. Xuan innocent said lightly.

"Hmm......" Xuantian nodded weakly.

"It's good to wake up. But I have one thing to tell you. Don't participate in the quadrennial road competition. Xuan innocent said flatly.

"Why? Xuantian was puzzled, although his body was weak at this time, he still tried to get up, wanting to ask for an understanding.

Xuan innocent hesitated for a moment, but still felt that he was telling the truth, and said, "Because, you are not in good health." If, on the way to trial, you have a headache, there will be some danger? ”

In fact, he really couldn't rest assured that this little son was originally trying to deceive and make this little son give up the competition. But after thinking about it, he gave up again, afraid that his youngest son would resent him in the future, so he told the truth.

"I can, father. Illness is not a thing at all for monks. Only when I am strong in the future can I overcome the disease, otherwise I may be tormented by the disease for the rest of my life. Xuantian said anxiously. He is very eager to step on the road to the sky, which is the dream of the younger generation and the pride of every young person. Everyone wanted to take this opportunity to have a good time.

Moreover, he believes that as long as he is strong enough, the headache can be restrained after all.
