Between the words, the space fluctuation in Xue Mingzhi's hand flashed away, and he slowly handed it to Shen Yuan with a red-gold invitation in both hands.

The whole body of the invitation is written by the fifth-order spiritual material Tai Xuanjin, on which there is a master of the talisman depicting the dragon flying and phoenix dance, the cloud pattern immortal talisman is extremely luxurious, and the rich dynastic luck lingers on it, and you can feel the extraordinary in it before you open it.

Ordinary people hold this invitation in their hands, and it is difficult for ordinary ghosts to get close to it.

Shen Yuan frowned lightly and looked at the invitation in front of him, with a bit of irrepressible surprise in his expression.

The so-called invitation of Emperor Xia, Shen Yuan didn't care.

It is not surprising that the re-establishment of the Chenghuang and the establishment of the Incense Domain was an inevitable consequence, and it is not surprising that successive humanist dynasties have supplemented their control over their territory through the Chenghuang system.

What really moved Shen Yuan was the sentence in Xue Mingzhi's words, "The Great Xia Imperial Court wants to regain control of the general trend of the world."

The weight of this sentence far exceeds the matter of re-establishing the city gods and establishing the incense law.

Since the advent of the aura tide, the major caves and blessed lands have begun to recover, and the Great Xia Imperial Court still maintains its influence at the state level, but it has gradually lost control of its lower counties and counties.

In the first half a year or so, it was difficult for the high-end combat power of the major sects to end up.

It is difficult to simply cultivate a new generation of sect disciples to shake the millions of modern troops of the Great Xia Imperial Court, and the Great Xia Imperial Court is generally able to control the situation, plundering the vast majority of the cultivation resources in the early stage, which can be said to have taken full advantage.

However, with the passage of time, the strong period of the Great Xia Imperial Court gradually began to decline, the new generation of disciples of the major sects gradually grew up, the combat power of the transcendent level occupied the mainstream, and the effect of modern thermal weapons in the struggle of cultivators gradually decreased.

When the outstanding disciples of the major sects reach the realm of refining qi and transforming gods, they will be able to ignore most of the modern weapons except for strategic weapons, and reduce the influence of modern weapons to the extreme.

Not only that, during this period, the major sects recruited disciples through various platforms to spread the Taoist system among the people, attracting countless people to rush to it.

In the past, the matter of cultivating immortals and immortality only existed in myths and legends, but now that they can be contacted in person, how many people can not be moved?

Although the Qin Tianjian of the Great Xia Imperial Court was already working hard to select the Tianjiao in various states and counties to cultivate, it still could not avoid the loss of talents.

After all, at the level of Dao inheritance and the strong, the Great Xia Imperial Court is still in an absolutely weak position compared to the major caves and blessed lands.

This weakness has even been expanding over time.

Especially when the rules of heaven and earth were further restored and could support the end of the powerhouse of the Transformation God Realm, the situation changed dramatically.

The longevity of the human race cultivator is far inferior to that of the demon race, and among the major caves and heavenly blessed lands, only the true person who refines the gods can have a longevity of three thousand years, and there is no god powerhouse who can survive from the last spiritual energy tide era to the present.

However, after experiencing several spiritual energy tides, the major caves and blessed lands have already taken countermeasures to this, and many long-lived spirit beasts have been raised three thousand years ago.

The strength of these longevity spirit beasts is not strong in the same rank, but they are also proper god-transforming combat power, and they can sweep away one side and suppress countless cultivators in today's heaven and earth.

In addition, the blessed land of the cave will inevitably give life-saving magical powers and cherish spiritual treasures, and the role of strategic weapons in this situation is also very limited.

The lack of high-end combat power has made the current situation of the Great Xia court extremely embarrassing, and its control over various counties has been constantly weakened.

Especially in some counties where the powerful Cave Heaven Blessed Land sits, as early as the early stage of the Spiritual Qi Tide, the local heroes and court officials were controlled by the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and they almost became the hall of the sect.

The Great Xia Imperial Court may not have no way to deal with these sects, but when it comes to the situation in Great Xia, it will affect the whole body, and the Great Xia Imperial Court can only sit back and watch the actions of the sect before it is completely sure.

When the rules of heaven and earth are further restored in the future, and the present world can support the current life of the true person refining gods, those strong people who have truly survived the three thousand years of spiritual energy depletion period will return to heaven and earth.

When the time comes, the Cave Heaven Blessed Land will be restored to its original state, and the Great Xia Imperial Court will completely lose control of these places.

For such a result, the Great Xia Imperial Court was naturally unwilling to see it, but they couldn't stop it, so they could only compete for a large number of cultivation resources through the orthodox status of the Great Xia Imperial Court, and secretly support the collapsed sect of the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land to compete with other sects.

These private battles have intensified the contradictions between the Great Xia court and the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land.

In the Yin Si Rebellion three months ago, Dongtian Blessed Land stood by and watched the disaster in Taizhou, which was the consensus reached by Dongtian Blessed Land in order to balance the Great Xia Imperial Court after the contradiction intensified.

No one thought that behind that Yin Si turmoil there was the handiwork of the Ten Palaces Yama, if it wasn't for Shen Yuan's action to suppress everything with his own strength, otherwise it would inevitably lead to disaster.

After the turmoil in the Yin Division, the major caves began to realize that the current Xuanhuang Realm was not as simple as imagined, but it had disappeared a lot.

But he never thought that the Great Xia Imperial Court would suddenly stand up during this time period, and he would openly say these words.

Faint thoughts flowed, and Shen Yuan asked with a little curiosity in his eyes:

"The Great Xia Imperial Court has openly made such a move, is there something to rely on?"

When Xue Mingzhi heard this, he explained in a low voice:

"This decision was jointly discussed by Emperor Xia and Qin Tianjian Zheng and the Three Princes and Nine Qings, and the level involved is too high, and I am not very clear."

The words paused slightly, Xue Mingzhi frowned slightly, and said with a bit of speculation in his expression:

"However, a few days ago, at a Tianjiao banquet in the imperial capital, the prince personally came to mention the matter of Yin Si, revealing that the current Yin Si is no longer what it used to be.

The two seats of the White Tiger and the Vermilion Bird made the Emperor Xudu appreciate the achievement of the six heavens of Luo Xu, and his future can ascend to the fairyland to prove immortality.

The alliance between the Great Xia court and the Yin Division will inevitably have infinite benefits. ”

Shen Yuan was stunned for a while, he never thought that this matter of the Great Xia Imperial Court could be related to him.

Without waiting for Shen Yuan to speak, he saw Xue Mingzhi and said with a cautious face:

"Three months ago, the lord of the Yin Division, Emperor Xudu, suddenly appeared in Taizhou, expelled the ghosts of several states to pacify the Yin Division, and attracted hundreds of millions of people to worship him with incense.

At that time, the phantom of the Emperor Xudu appeared, and his divine power shrouded the land of a state, which was by no means comparable to the powerhouses of ordinary fairyland land.

With such a strong person in the Yin Division, coupled with the rumored Luo Xuan Six Heavens God, the Yin Si Ghost God, and the Zhucheng God that will be established in the future, its strength is not inferior to the major caves and blessed lands.

If the Great Xia Imperial Court really reached a consensus with the Yin Division, with the help of the Yin Division's ability to connect the incense laws of the various states, it might not be able to suppress the major caves and blessed lands. ”

Speaking of this, Xue Mingzhi looked emotional.

No one would have thought that the Great Xia Imperial Court, which had hoped that the major Cave Heaven Blessed Lands would help suppress the Yin Division three months ago, would be able to unite with the Yin Division to fight against the Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

The change in the situation is strange enough to make people who don't know the inside story jaw-dropping.

Just when Xue Mingzhi sighed, he didn't notice that Shen Yuan in front of the stone table had a stiff expression, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly.

"I still wonder where Daxia got the confidence that I brought them after a long time.

But I, the master of the Yin Division, the Emperor of the Righteous Emperor Xudu didn't know about it at all. ”

After complaining to himself in his heart, Shen Yuan was also a little curious about the details behind this matter.

Although he gave the White Tiger and Suzaku the order to establish contact with the Great Xia Imperial Court, when it came to the alliance with the Great Xia Imperial Court, it was definitely not something that the two of them could call the shots, and it was inevitable that Niu Tou, the head of the Six Heavenly Ghosts and Gods, would personally nod and agree.

"What price did Da Xia give to the bull head, so that the bull head agreed to drag the entire Yin Si into the water?"

Vaguely, Shen Yuan smelled something unusual.

Shen Yuan looked at Xue Mingzhi, who looked respectful in front of him, and played with the taste in his tone:

"Emperor Xia formed an alliance with Yin Si to regain control of the general situation, and although it was said that inviting Dongtian Blessed Land was to discuss, it was essentially to use the power of Yin Si to establish power.

It's just a blessed land, Emperor Xia still wants to invite me, could it be that I am also among the objects of his prestige? ”

Xue Mingzhi's expression froze, cold sweat continued to ooze from his forehead, and he hurriedly spoke:

"Sir, please rest assured, Emperor Xia has no such intentions.

Prior to this, Emperor Xia and Qin Tianjian had long known about the existence of Mr., but they had been afraid of disturbing Mr., so they did not take the initiative to show up to explain.

In the matter of the Dao Conference and the Beibi Mountain, the Great Xia Imperial Court had a lot of help. ”

Shen Yuan smiled indifferently, noncommittal to Xue Mingzhi's words.

On the Dao Conference and the Beibi Mountain matter, he made his own efforts to suppress the Shui Tribes and the Ancient Forbidden Land, and the Great Xia Imperial Court got a lot of benefits from this.

Compared to the harvest of the Great Xia court, that little help was completely deserved.

As for the fact that the Great Xia Imperial Court had long been eyeing him, Shen Yuan was also very clear.

It's just that because of the lack of information, the Great Xia Imperial Court mistakenly thought that he was an earth immortal walking in the world and had the ability to subvert the overall situation, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Now that the Great Xia Imperial Court has formed an alliance with privacy, it has made up for the lack of high-end combat power, and can even further establish the Incense Domain.

In this invitation, Emperor Xia really didn't have much hostility, and it was impossible for this Great Xia Emperor to take the initiative to push Shen Yuan to the opposite side.

But the practice of letting Xue Mingzhi pass on the invitation may not be without a little temptation of Shen Yuan's virtual thoughts.

At least in the eyes of the Great Xia Imperial Court, with the Emperor Xudu as the backing, there really is no need to be too afraid of a mere earth immortal.

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan couldn't help but show a somewhat strange smile.

"Emperor Xia's self-confidence was brought to him by Emperor Xudu and Yin Si.

But if he knew that I was the Emperor of Xudu, I don't know how he would feel? ”

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan suddenly became a little interested in Emperor Xia's invitation.

His gaze fell on Xue Mingzhi, and the subtle influence of the will of heaven and earth remaining in his body had not dissipated so far.

According to Shen Yuan's understanding of the will of heaven and earth, it was just that the ordinary change of general trend was the internal circulation of the Xuanhuang Realm, and it would not be watched by the will of heaven and earth at all, let alone guide Shen Yuan to intervene in it.

There is such a change in the will of heaven and earth, which proves that there must be other abnormalities behind the re-establishment of the city gods in Great Xia this time.

"Invasion by a strong outsider? Or is it the source of the strange aura? ”

Just before, Shen Yuan had already made up his mind to establish a connection with the will of Heaven and Earth in the Xuanhuang Realm, in order to avoid the crisis that he might encounter before returning to the Ten Thousand Years.

Since we have this kind of thought, we must intervene in the things guided by the will of heaven and earth, so that it is convenient to bargain with the will of heaven and earth.

It's impossible to work day jobs, not in this life.

Thinking about how to knock on the bamboo pole in his heart, Shen Yuan reached out and took the invitation handed over by Xue Mingzhi.

"The first grand event since the revival of the aura tide, but you can go and see it."

Shen Yuan accepted the invitation, which made Xue Mingzhi completely relieved.

Xue Mingzhi got a lot of benefits from Shen Yuan, and his reputation as a genius in the imperial capital was completely stained with Shen Yuan's light, which could be said to be a reinvention of Entong.

This time, Emperor Xia suddenly passed down an edict about Shen Yuan, and it was directly issued to the entire Xue family in the name of the emperor, which made Xue Mingzhi completely unexpected.

Prior to this, Great Xia had never had any contact with Shen Yuan at all, and it was difficult for Xue Mingzhi to find out the specific situation.

If it was just an order for an individual, Xue Mingzhi could have refused without knowing Shen Yuan's specific attitude, and it was a big deal that he would suffer himself.

But when it comes to the family, once Xue Mingzhi refuses, it is very likely to have a bad impact on the Xue family, which makes him have no choice but to take this edict head-on.

But fortunately, Shen Yuan didn't seem to be dissatisfied because of this, which made Xue Mingzhi feel a lot more relieved.

"When will you go?" Shen Yuan asked casually.

"After receiving the invitation of the Great Xia Imperial Court, the major caves and blessed lands set off for the imperial capital as soon as possible, and the spirit beasts of the various sects also opened the imperial capital one after another.

Nowadays, there are many sects in the imperial capital, and even in the Dongtian Holy Land, which has been closed for a long time, there are three holy places that have descended to the imperial capital.

If Mr. has a relationship with the major sects, it may be a good choice to go to the imperial capital now.

But if Mr. doesn't want to get involved in these mundane things, he can rush to the imperial capital before the City God Ceremony begins. ”

Xue Mingzhi's words made Shen Yuan's eyes light up, and the secret realm in his sleeve trembled slightly.

Before, he was still worried about how to lead the major caves and blessed lands into the secret realm, but now that the imperial capital is full of caves and blessed lands, it is an excellent opportunity that should not be missed.

"Among the teams of the major caves and blessed lands to go to the imperial capital, can there be real people refining gods?"

Xue Mingzhi was slightly stunned, shook his head lightly and said:

"At present, the rules of heaven and earth can only support the advent of the strong gods, if you use the secret method to refine the gods, the real people can also walk in the world, and they can exert their strength at most at the peak of the gods.

Under the premise of the intervention of the Yin Division and the spirit beasts of the various sects, the true god refining gods of the major caves and blessed lands may not choose to risk their lives. ”

Xue Mingzhi's words did not disappoint Shen Yuan.

He just smiled at the corners of his mouth and stood up lightly from the stone table.

"The so-called reluctance to risk one's life is just that the benefits are not enough."

With his footsteps, Shen Yuan slowly walked towards the gate of the secret realm of the courtyard.

"Then muddy the water in this imperial capital a little more."
