Chapter 163: Territorial Expansion
Xiayang Palace is a group of imperial palaces built by Emperor Taizu when he was there, which is divided into the outer court and the inner palace.
In the outer court, there are the Qilin Hall where court meetings are held, the Zhangtai Hall where courtiers are summoned, and the Chang'an Hall where foreign ministers are met.
The inner palace is the main place where the royal family lives, including the Qianyuan Palace, the Shuning Palace, and the like.
Later, Qin Zhao transformed it on the basis of the original and added the pattern of the Tianque chess game to ensure the safety of Ouchi.
The scale of this palace complex is now unprecedented.
As the "card" building of the inner palace, the magnificence of the Shuning Hall can be imagined.
At this time, the weather has gradually warmed up, and there is a scene of purple and red in the courtyard, and it can be seen that Qin Xuan has arranged for someone to take care of it on weekdays.
But in such a scene, there was a chill sweeping through, and the maids and guards in the courtyard were silent at the moment, and they didn't dare to take a breath.
They had never seen Emperor Xia send out so much anger.
As a person in the inner palace, they couldn't be clearer about how favored the eldest princess Shuning is.
But because of this, the current state of Emperor Xia is even more scary.
Qin Xuan's head was bowed, she didn't say anything for a long time, her eyes were covered by falling green silk, making it difficult to see her expression at the moment.
Qin Zhao stared at her for a while, then looked at the people around him after a while, and said in a deep voice, "You go down first." β
These guards are all forbidden soldiers in the inner palace, and the maids are all old men who have been following Qin Xuan back to the palace, and they are all trustworthy.
But the current situation is obviously not suitable for these talents to sit on the sidelines.
When the subordinates heard this, they bowed down and retreated.
"Tell me, why are you hiding it from me, what do you think in your heart."
After everyone walked away, Qin Zhao's tone softened, and the cold and hard muscle lines on his face softened a little.
In fact, if he was angry at this time, it was not so much, it was more of a fear.
After coming into this world, there are some people who are different from him.
For example, the 300,000 Xuanjia army who accompanied him to resist natural disasters at the beginning, and Yan Qingjun who chose to stand by his side at a critical moment......
Of course, there is also his sister Qin Xuan, who never counts the return, from the beginning of forgetting life and death to follow, and later helping his sister Qin Xuan.
"Brother!" Qin Xuan finally spoke, but still lowered her head.
The emotions in the voice were a little complicated, aggrieved, relieved, worried...... It seems to be all in between.
"I just didn't think about it."
"Raise your head and speak." Qin Zhao frowned and looked at her.
Seeing that she didn't react, Qin Zhao stretched out his right hand and forcibly lifted her cheek.
As soon as I touched it, I realized that it was wrong.
His brows furrowed even tighter, but his voice softened a little softer, and he whispered: "I haven't said anything yet, cry what to cry." β
Qin Xuan, who was forcibly lifted up her cheeks, looked like she was about to cry, but her face was slightly red, and she was a little embarrassed.
Looked away in a panic and stammered, "Actually, there is nothing bad about fusing into a sword soul. I don't have any talent for cultivation, and I can always be by your side when I become a sword soul. I know you can all live a long time......"
"A sword soul is a sword soul! People are people! Can it be the same thing?! β
When Qin Zhao heard this, he was immediately angry and funny, and he didn't know if Qin Xuan was comforting him with this reason, or if he really thought so.
"If you don't want to practice, you can wait until I find a way later. Do you have an idea, but don't know how to consult with me? β
Speaking of this, his heart moved, and he squinted at the beautiful girl in red in front of him.
"You don't change the subject, why didn't you tell me all the details at that time? Think I'm trying to imply that you're going to sacrifice? I'm trying to use you to forge a sword? β
"Nope! No! Qin Xuan seemed to be taken aback by his words, and denied it repeatedly.
"Do you know it in your heart?" Qin Zhao looked at his sister with a complicated expression.
Whether Qin Xuan admits it or not, he should have had similar thoughts in his heart at that time.
For her, her place is undoubtedly extremely important.
Maybe at some point, a similar thought flashed through me.
She was afraid that her guess was true, so she didn't dare to verify it, didn't want to confirm it, and would rather bury everything in her heart.
"You don't have to forge the national sword first, don't think about it here, all the materials you were given to you before will be handed over to the Ministry of Industry."
Qin Zhao stared at her eyes and said word by word: "I won't let you die, you should reflect on it yourself!" Don't leave the palace during this time. β
With that, Qin Zhao stood up, turned around and walked out.
"Brother!"
With a shout, the girl's delicate body hugged him tightly from behind.
Feeling the temperature behind him, Qin Zhao's face with his back to Qin Xuan also softened.
His tone did not change, and he said coldly: "What else is the matter?" Don't think I'm going to let you out again. β
"No, I just want to hug you."
......
Qin Zhao, who had left the Shuning Palace, returned to the Qianyuan Hall alone, and he wanted to use this time to carefully review the situation on the other side of the East China Sea in the Illusion Realm.
Of course, he remembered what Candle Dragon said, "The variables of the human race are extremely high, and even the slightest difference will inevitably lead to a difference in results."
Reality is not a game, you can't skip cutscenes you don't want to watch, you can't speed up the passage of time.
In the illusion, he could forget about those tragedies and concentrate on experimenting with the Terran path, but now he has to face these dilemmas.
Since there is no weapon of the National Fortune Sword this time, it is necessary to list all the means that can be used.
His own cultivation is a trump card, and he should focus on using it.
In the illusion, he did not reach his current state when he fought against the messenger of the upper realm.
The third "Treasure Palace Realm" of the Human Emperor Heavenly Palace is very mysterious.
When the spiritual soul has been cultivated to this point, there is no essential difference between it and the physical body.
Therefore, its real combat power can also be perfectly used.
Even Yan Qingjun, before he had practiced refining qi and transforming gods, he would not be his opponent in terms of strength alone.
If you add all kinds of supernatural means, it will be even worse.
At this time, the divine soul has been able to completely turn the virtual into reality and interfere with reality.
If he used his divine soul to travel to the territory before, and he was just a "yin god out of his body", now his divine soul can already be called a "yang god".
Once you go out of your body with all your strength, it will be like the scorching sun in the sky, and it is not an exaggeration to become a "true immortal".
Moreover, perhaps because of the Candle Dragon's boost, he felt that the current cultivation of the Third Realm was much stronger than that of the same realm in the Illusion Realm.
Especially in the degree of condensation of the soul, it is very obvious.
With such a strength of divine soul to operate and control the battle array, there is the possibility of truly revealing a trace of the power of those divine beast phantoms.
Qin Zhao believed that the essence of these battle formations was to imitate ancient divine beasts or gods with military spirit.
These divine beasts should have existed in real life, and his previous use did not bring out the strongest power of the battle array.
Second, if you want to go overseas, you have to build ships that are large enough to transport troops.
This requires these ships to be able to withstand the wind and waves at sea, as well as the attacks of various sea beasts.
Ordinary wooden boats are definitely not good, and related supporting facilities need to spend a lot of effort to develop.
The construction of a ship is also not simple, and there are many factors to consider. Including power, bearing capacity, materials, etc., it is not so easy to get it.
Purple is a person who has cultivation and is extremely strong to go to sea alone, and he doesn't need much preparation, just an ordinary boat.
Under the infusion of true qi, the hull is as strong as steel, and the running speed is also extremely fast.
But this is not the case for ordinary people.
No matter how elite the Xuanjia Army is, in the end it is just a mortal pawn, and the strong among them are only in the innate realm.
If you haven't arrived at the place yet, you will be killed or injured due to unexpected factors, which is ridiculous.
In addition to this, Qin Zhao is also ready to exchange for another thing - the [Shura Battle Intent] on the Luck Gold List!
[Shura's fighting spirit - although Shura is dead, the fighting spirit is not extinguished.] Condense a drop of Shura's true blood with supreme luck to build a blood pool, and the top army has the opportunity to comprehend the "Shura Immortal Body". Luck required for exchange: 100000]
Because this thing had already appeared in the Qi Luck Collection, Qin Zhao had also used it in the Illusion Realm.
In fact, he had already redeemed all those high-priced materials and tried to use them.
If it is said that the greatest improvement in combat power at this stage is this "Shura Battle Spirit".
In fact, in addition to the fact that this thing is expensive to exchange, I really can't find fault with other aspects.
The process of building a blood pool is quite simple, and it can be completed by finding someone from the engineering department.
The key core of this thing lies in that drop of "Shura True Blood", it can be said that nine out of 100,000 luck are consumed to condense this thing.
After the blood pool is built, put in this drop of true blood, and then as long as there is enough heaven and earth aura, it can run freely and be used repeatedly.
"Yufeng Secret Realm" can meet this condition.
It's not that in the process, the blood pool is not consumed, but the loss is very low.
Qin Zhao suspected that this so-called extinct "Shura Clan" was similar to a group of gods or divine beasts, and was inherently extremely powerful.
At present, the physique of the human race is not as good as what if, and there will not be much consumption in the natural absorption process.
And that blood pool also exists to dilute the essence of blood. Otherwise, with the strength of the human race at this time, it is estimated that whoever touches and who dies will be killed.
After being baptized in the blood pool and strengthening your physique, you can start to condense your battle spirit.
With enough training, anyone can succeed.
This result has nothing to do with aptitude and talent, but only on the mind and the amount of training.
With the quality of the Xuanjia Army, ninety percent of them can comprehend the "Shura Battle Spirit", and as for the upgraded version of the "Shura Immortal Body", it is also possible to achieve it.
Thinking of this, he didn't continue to delay, and drove out of the palace directly to the Yufeng Secret Realm.
At the same time, he arranged for someone to send an order to Ge Shangcheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and asked him to go and stand by.
......
Today's Yufeng Secret Realm has not changed much from when it was first built.
It is still a scene of green mountains and green waters.
In fact, I haven't used it much since this time.
Except for the Yulin Army, which has practiced and used it once, Yan Qingming's military exploits have not been exchanged for rewards.
In order to protect the consumption of dragon veins, the limit on the number of uses here is also relatively strict, and there is no process for the time being.
Only when the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry make detailed arrangements in the future can they truly open up.
Qin Zhao didn't come here today to inspect, so he didn't think about it after a brief look.
Summoned out the gold list of qi luck, and consumed 100,000 qi luck to exchange for the [Shura Battle Intent] in it.
As his movements were completed, the extremely rich qi luck began to emerge from Qin Zhao's body.
This power is formless and intangible, and it is reasonable to say that it cannot be felt.
But at this moment, let alone Qin Zhao, even a mortal who had never been exposed to this kind of power in the slightest could feel that this piece of heaven and earth had become different in an instant.
The luck is so strong that it can almost resonate with heaven and earth.
However, it existed in Qin Zhao in the past, and he was originally the emperor of Great Xia, with a heavenly constitution in his mouth in the territory, and his divine power was like a prison, and he couldn't see the magic in it.
When this part of the luck was released, even he himself was a little shocked for a while.
In the illusion, the candle dragon only simulated this power after all, as a kind of exchange bargaining chip, and he did not have a deep understanding of this power.
With this part of the qi luck leaving his body, Qin Zhao felt that he was instantly "weaker" a lot.
After all, the value of one-time loss of qi luck is too large, and these qi luck is rooted in his body, so it is inevitable that there will be some strange feelings.
Of course, this is just a delusion.
But he still has a lot of luck leftβ
[Current Luck: 50035]
"Hoo ......"
Sighing deeply, Qin Zhao didn't continue to dwell on the cost of this time, staring at the blood-colored cyclone that was constantly being generated in front of him.
The area of this cyclone is huge, and the radius is several miles, like stratus clouds hanging low in the sky.
But the cloud was not white, but blood-colored, with an ominous glow.
As the blood-colored cyclone gradually generated, the anomalous power that permeated the air slowly faded.
At the same time, the method of constructing the blood pool also came into Qin Zhao's mind.
Without hesitation, he immediately displayed the generated text on the brocade silk, and waited for it to be handed over to the people of the Ministry of Industry to create.
Soon, the blood-colored cyclone changed from its original thinness to thicker and thicker.
From the outside, it looks different from the light, as if the Tao veins appear on it, like a living creature.
Qin Zhao's face was as usual, watching this change with his hands behind his back.
He knew that he was still far from the condensation of true blood.
Even so, this blood-colored cyclone has already appeared somewhat abnormally.
A faint coercion and killing intent began to permeate the heavens and the earth.
This kind of coercion is not a god who dwells high in the clouds, overlooking the high of all things; It's the strong clan fighting in all directions, and the will to fight endlessly!
Subsequently, a peculiar smell began to emanate from the cyclone, which was gradually liquefiing.
It wasn't blood or a strange scent, but a rusty smell of gold and iron.
The sky suddenly darkened, and a dark red blood-colored halo suddenly enveloped this secret realm.
Like the battlefield thousands of years ago, it came to this world silently.
The image flashed and vanished.
Qin Zhao saw that there seemed to be a giant throwing out a spear and slashing through the air; And the giants with three arms bent their bows and arrows shot down the dragons; There are also two-headed giants holding big guns horizontally, looking up to the sky and roaring......
"Although Shura is dead, the fighting spirit will not be extinguished!"
