Chapter 233: Solar Eclipse
In just a few hours after Xia Yunqiu and Yin Si finished negotiating, the news of the Fang Cun Secret Realm quickly spread throughout the entire imperial capital.
The reason for this situation may be that the ministers deliberately leaked secrets in order to take revenge on the ghosts and gods, or some people want to muddy the water and seek greater benefits from it.
But in either case, there is no way to stop the spread of the message.
Wealthy families, businessmen, and almost all well-informed cultivators knew in just a few hours that there was a secret realm that was about to be opened in the imperial capital.
Through the spread of the secret realm, the whole process of Xia Yunqiu's negotiation with Yin Si also spread throughout the imperial capital.
Many people recounted what happened in the Yin Si Mansion in vivid words, as if they had experienced the whole thing themselves.
For the vast majority of low-level cultivators and ordinary people, the existence of the Fang Cun Secret Realm had little to do with them, but it was Xia Yunqiu's negotiation with the Yin Si Ghosts and Gods that was even more eye-catching.
Xia Yunqiu's efforts to turn the tide and safeguard the interests of Great Xia have become the consensus of the vast majority of people, and more and more people are beginning to recognize this newly named princess of Tianxing.
On the other hand, Emperor Xia, who has not shown up in the whole negotiation, has a more complicated evaluation of him by many people who eat melons.
Some people think that Emperor Xia is enduring humiliation and playing a big game of chess with Yin.
But more people think that Emperor Xia's promise to Yin Si is completely a loss of power and humiliation of the country, if it weren't for Xia Yunqiu's efforts to turn the tide and sacrifice the secret realm to settle the Yin Division, otherwise one-third of the incense law domain will lay a hidden danger of collapse for the Great Xia Dynasty.
There are even more radicals who claim that Emperor Xia is not worthy of sitting in that position at all.
If it was in an ordinary period, such a large-scale discussion of Emperor Xia, the imperial court would have taken action a long time ago.
But at present, all the energy of the Great Xia Imperial Court is focused on the secret realm, and the two gods of the six heavens of Luo Yu took the initiative to break into the palace in order to leak secrets, wanting to find Emperor Xia for an explanation.
After learning of the existence of the Fangcun Secret Realm, many caves and blessed lands outside the imperial capital also showed an eager attitude, causing Emperor Xia to mobilize the powerhouses of Great Xia to monitor the sect stations outside the imperial capital at all times.
Compared to these troubles that were enough to shake Great Xia, the discussion of the lower class people about Emperor Xia was a trivial matter.
Even the imperial envoys and advisors who were in charge of supervising people's speech ignored these things, intentionally or unintentionally.
One of the three princes, the imperial envoy doctor was a participant in the meeting of the Yin Si Mansion, and after the meeting, the imperial envoy doctor took the initiative to enter the palace because of the promise made by Emperor Xia to Yin Si, and angrily reprimanded Emperor Xia, saying that it shook the country's foundation.
Emperor Xia was furious and forcibly dismissed from the post of imperial doctor, and all the imperial envoys and counselors were subordinates of the imperial envoy doctor, and they were dissatisfied with Emperor Xia's actions, so they were naturally unwilling to be involved at this time to help Emperor Xia suppress public opinion.
In this way, the words about Emperor Xia's loss of morality, loss of power and humiliation of the country gradually spread from the imperial capital to the entire Great Xia at an extraordinary speed.
However, compared to many ordinary people and low-level cultivators who eat melons, the focus of the high-level and Dongtian Blessed Land in Great Xia is obviously different.
Time has passed, and a full three days have passed since the Yin Si meeting.
Three days ago, the news of the Fangcun Secret Realm was leaked, and the various sects used communication methods to transmit the news back to the Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
In the next three days, there were constantly strong people from the heavens and blessed lands who began to converge towards the imperial capital.
Even on the Yin Division's side, another group of ghosts and gods stepped into the land of Jingzhou and came to the support of the Vermilion Bird and the White Tiger in the imperial capital.
The number of unfamiliar faces in the Imperial Capital City increased rapidly, and many sect powerhouses no longer cared about the Imperial Capital Great Array, and they left the sect stations outside the Imperial Capital and stepped into the Imperial Capital.
There were several times more Qi Realm cultivators in Fang City than before, and even the Great Cultivators of the Transformation Gods, who were rarely seen on weekdays, gradually revealed their deeds, and the entire imperial capital had almost undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the face of the rapid increase in the number of monks of various sects in the imperial capital, the powerful proposed to wait until the solar eclipse appeared, and when the secret realm began, they would activate the imperial capital array to wipe out all the sect monks.
This statement has been supported by many powerful ministers, but some people believe that this move will not hurt the foundation of the sect in the blessed world, but will completely anger the sect.
Once the rules of heaven and earth are gradually restored in the future, more sect powerhouses will retaliate against Great Xia without a bottom line, which will inevitably lead to both defeats.
It is precisely because of such scruples that the Great Xia Imperial Court can only turn a blind eye to the gathered sect monks.
Just when the outside world was turbulent, the Lang Huan Garden in Xue Mansion was unusually calm.
Shen Yuan was still sitting upright in front of the stone table, and the miniature black hole of Luozi Tianyuan quietly disturbed the space, constantly capturing the rhythm of this heaven and earth, as if he wanted to completely integrate into this piece of heaven and earth.
He had been sitting here for three days.
Since three days ago, after the news of the Fang Cun Secret Realm spread, Shen Yuan had accumulated his strength to prepare for three days after opening the Secret Realm.
With the help of Xia Yunqiu and the ghosts and gods of Yin Si, inviting all the forces of the entire Great Xia to enter the secret realm was a strategy that Shen Yuan had already set.
No one would have thought that the so-called incense belief and the position of the city god were just a pretense, and the real purpose of Yin Si and Xia Yunqiu was just to spread the secret realm.
Even shaking the foundation of Emperor Xia's reputation and helping Xia Yunqiu control more human luck is just some incidental small means.
With the help of this alliance between Yin Si and Great Xia, the reputation of the Fangcun Secret Realm has completely spread all over the world, and the Great Xia Imperial Court, the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and even the Demon Realm Demon Clan and the Four Desecrated Water Tribes have all moved.
In the last three days alone, Shen Yuan's Yang God had sensed that more than five True Cultivators who had suppressed their cultivation by unknown means had stepped into the Imperial Capital.
And this is only what Shen Yuan perceives, more God Refining True Persons from major sects have secret methods to protect their bodies, and pure Yang God perception cannot gain insight into their existence at all.
Even if it was just this part of the cultivators who appeared right now, it was enough for Shen Yuan to meet the most basic requirements of the secret realm trial.
It can be said that Shen Yuan has already completed most of this side quest.
"But I'm looking forward to more than just a minimum of tasks!"
Consciousness gradually returned to his body, and Shen Yuan, who had been sitting for three days, slowly raised his head and looked at the sky.
The morning sun that had shone on the Xuanhuang Realm for countless years was still hanging high above the sky, and the immeasurable light and heat were sprinkled across the endless starry sky and on the earth.
"It's time."
Shen Yuan slowly stood up from the stone table, his breath quietly changing with his movements.
The power of exorcism was operating, and the majesty of the Shinto edict enveloped the entire Langhuan Garden, and at the same time, the incomplete personality of the Emperor of Xudu was quietly induced.
The white robe on Shen Yuan's body was shrouded in the power of the Divine Dao, turning into a golden-red robe that was different from the Imperial Emperor's robe.
This robe is woven with the texture of the Great Sun Golden Crow, and the golden crow on it is about to break free from the shackles of the divine robe and come into the present world.
On the crown of pearls, the pearls are precipitated with the light of the stars of Zhou Tian, and the golden pearl on the top of the crown seems to be carved by the sun, and its majesty shines in all directions.
As early as a few months ago, Shen Yuan could use his divine power to attract the power of the Sun Star, and with the origin of the Divine Dao, he could disguise himself as the Emperor of Donghua.
And with Shen Yuan controlling the incomplete personality of the Emperor of Xudu, with the blessing of the personality of the Divine Emperor, Shen Yuan even evolved the divine power of the Emperor of Donghua to the extreme.
Emperor Shaoyang of Donghua has fallen for thousands of years, and there is no Emperor of Donghua in this life, only Shen Yuan carries the power of exorcism and the personality of Emperor Shendao, and is the person closest to Emperor Donghua in this life.
Even if it was the Heavenly Court Righteous God Nether, when he saw Shen Yuan at this moment, he would only think that Emperor Donghua was alive.
The origin of the Divine Dao of incense circulated around Shen Yuan, and all the Divine Dao brilliance and visions were contained in the Lang Huan Garden.
With his left hand behind him, Shen Yuan looked directly at the scorching sun above the heavenly dome, and slowly raised his right hand.
The five fingers were opened, and Shen Yuan's palm was held forward, as if he wanted to grasp the great sun that was far above the heavenly dome.
"Sunstar, hidden!"
As the glorious edict that carried the majesty of the Shinto Emperor fell, in the infinite starry sky above the heavens, the sun star that was almost shattered trembled slightly.
The brilliance that had shone on the worlds for countless years was faintly noticeable, and the round of sun star phantoms projected to the Xuanhuang realm was briefly suppressed by an invisible hand.
If you use cultivation as a divine power to forcibly suppress the projection of the sun star descending to the realms, it involves the heavens and the sun avenue, even if it is an immortal golden immortal, it is difficult to do it.
But in this world, the Donghua Shaoyang Emperor fell, the Sun Star had no owner, and Shen Yuan used the authority of the Exorcism to edict the Sun Star, and achieved his goal in a clever way.
As the light of the sun and star froze in an instant, everyone in the Xuanhuang Realm could see an incomparably terrifying scene.
The great sun that had hung high in the Xuanhuang Realm for countless years gradually dimmed, as if it was covered by a large hand, and after only a few breaths, only a golden ring remained.
The whole world suddenly fell into darkness, the true fire of the great sun was hidden, and the cold air on the earth rose up, as if the whole world had fallen into a deathly silence.
In the imperial capital, the arrival of a solar eclipse plunged everyone into a brief silence.
And a moment later, the sound of disbelief resounded almost throughout the imperial capital.
"The rumors are true, there is a solar eclipse!"
"Princess Skywalker didn't lie!"
"The observatory monitors the sky at all times, and it has long been determined that there will be no solar eclipse for ten years, and today's solar eclipse is unusual."
"Since the solar eclipse is true, the matter involving the Emperor of Donghua, the Emperor of Xudu, and a certain Daomen Heavenly Venerable in the secret realm must also be true!"
As one after another imperial decrees came out of the palace, the beacon towers were ignited, and the imperial capital array left over from generations of human dynasties slowly opened.
The Imperial Capital Great Array is not an ordinary formation, but is based on dynastic luck and humane luck, and is not affected by the incomplete rules of heaven and earth.
With the opening of the large array, groups of soldiers wearing rune armor walked through the streets, and the entire imperial capital fell into a state of martial law.
In addition to the forbidden army guarding the imperial city, the most heavily guarded place is the imperial capital city.
An army of 30,000 people dressed in rune armor guarded outside the Imperial Capital City, and nearly half of them were elite soldiers who had stepped into the realm of refining refinement.
So many soldiers used the battle array to lead the great power array of the imperial capital, which was enough to suppress all the powerhouses in the imperial capital square city.
The dim Imperial Capital City is still brightly lit, and many cultivators gather here in the attics that symbolize the blessed land of the major caves.
Everyone looked at the great sun above the sky with only one halo left, and their eyes showed unprecedented caution.
In the treasure pavilion of Danshan Chishui Heaven, an old man who did not have any breath floating around his body, like a dead tree, turned his cloudy eyes, and slowly spoke:
"This solar eclipse did not affect the surrounding areas of the imperial capital, but the entire Xuanhuang Realm was shrouded in a solar eclipse.
This is enough to prove that the power behind the secret realm is far beyond all of us realize, and what that Tianxing Princess said is not false. ”
"The Divine Dao Emperor, the Dao Gate Heavenly Venerable, there are so many high-ranking existences involved, what is the sacredness behind this secret realm?"
Between the words, a trace of awe finally rose in the old man's cloudy eyes.
At the old man's hand, a young man in the early stage of the transformation of the gods bowed and said:
"Emperor Naxia is obviously also aware of this, and the high-level officials of Great Xia have already reached a consensus with Yin Si to blockade Imperial Capital Fang City with the Imperial Capital Great Array and elite troops, and only allow the people of Great Xia and the ghosts and gods of Yin Si to enter the secret realm.
The Imperial Capital Great Array combined with 30,000 rune armor soldiers, even if it was an ancient elder, there was a great risk. ”
Elder Gu smiled coldly, and looked at the other sect treasure pavilions in Fang City with a faint gaze.
"The secret realm of Fang Cun is very involved, Danshan Chishui Tian has me personally descended, how can other cave heaven blessed lands not be prepared?
If it weren't for the fact that the Great True Man would not have survived the 3,000-year dry period, otherwise I have no doubt that a Great True Man would have descended here. ”
As soon as these words came out, the young man in the early stage of the transformation of the gods turned happy.
And at this moment, all the cultivators above the Transformation God suddenly looked up at the solar eclipse above the heavenly dome.
As powerhouses approaching the upper limit of this heaven and earth, they could all feel that after the great sun was engulfed by the solar eclipse, it was as if something had replaced the sun that once hung high above the sky.
In the darkness that devoured the light, there seemed to be a black sun slowly growing, like the beginning of the realm of the infinite mystical Dao treasure.
"The secret realm of every square inch is opened!"
With an exclamation, a faint light in the Imperial Capital City suddenly flew into the sky.
Outside the Imperial Capital City, the Silver Armor General saw this and held the big seal and said vigorously:
"Forbidden Sky!"
The invisible formation combined with the humane qi luck suppressed towards that rays of light, and the 30,000 rune armor soldiers held the soldiers, and the killing aura of the soldiers rose to the sky.
"Get out of here!"
As if rolling thunder resounded across the earth, I saw a round of golden body like a blazing sun appear between heaven and earth, and the crimson golden giant hand clenched his fist and smashed into the converging formation.
As if the power of the sky collapsed, the large array formed by 30,000 soldiers suddenly trembled, and the entire imperial capital city was like an earth dragon turning over, and the power of the colliding yang god tore the earth apart in an instant.
Clouds began to gather in the sky of the imperial capital, and the Yang God manifested his full force beyond the boundaries of heaven and earth, and once he appeared, he would be punished by heaven.
His own strength had never shaken the imperial capital array, and the real person who made the attack was not afraid, and said loudly:
"Do you want to sit back and watch Daxia and Yin Si monopolize the secret realm?"
As the words fell, a ray of light rose into the sky to manifest the Yang God Dharma, and several True Cultivators shot with all their might at this moment, as if the Nine Days Volley forcibly tore apart the Imperial Capital Great Array shrouded above the Imperial Capital City.
"Cave Heaven Blessed Land Monk, how dare you?"
The Silver Armor General was furious, but the real person who made the attack ignored it, and then turned into a streamer and ascended into the sky.
As the light of retreat coincided with the black sun, all the light seemed to be swallowed by the great sun that was like a black hole.
Square inch secret realm, open!
A moment later, the sky above the imperial capital was full of streamers!
