Chapter 260: 259. Houtu
Translator: 549690339
Chen Luoyang was rather interested in that piece of jade.
This was because he had felt the power concept that erupted from it earlier. It seemed to have a feeling that the earth was heavy and the road to the Yellow Springs was far away.
This made Chen Luoyang pay attention to it immediately.
There was a move in the Divine Martial Demon Fist that was very close to this power concept.
Houtu.
Among the ancient gods and demons, it was an existence that transformed the earth, controlled Yin and Yang, and controlled the Netherworld.
If he could cultivate this move, it would be of great benefit to the Nether Sword Technique and the Blood River Inheritance.
However, if one wanted to cultivate this move, the requirements were quite complicated.
It was not just one or two conditions that needed to be met, but many difficulties that needed to be overcome.
In terms of cultivation difficulty, it was much more difficult than Zhurong and
Xuanming.
However, Houtu’s power was also extraordinary.
In terms of direct combat power, it might not be better than moves like Chiyou and Zhurong, but other than direct combat power, it had many wonderful uses.
Unfortunately, a clever housewife could not cook without rice.
Although Chen Luoyang had the fist manual, he didn’t see any hope of mastering this move.
However, this piece of jade seemed to be able to help Chen Luoyang cultivate this fist technique with just this treasure.
However, it was not easy to extract what he wanted from it.
This piece of jade was very hostile towards him, or rather, towards the Black Pot. It had always been resisting.
Right now, he was barely suppressed.
The treasure had a spirit, and its resistance had never stopped, and it was very strong.
If it wasn’t for the black pot, Chen Luoyang really wouldn’t have been able to suppress it forever.
Now, he had to find a way to obtain help from it and cultivate his Divine Martial Demon Fist. He needed to plan carefully and study it patiently.
He sat cross-legged in his own quiet room and patiently communicated with the black pot, and then squeezed this piece of jade.
The two sides formed a tug-of-war like tug of war within the black pot.
This was a very risky move.
If he wasn’t careful and the black pot didn’t protect him properly, Chen Luoyang could be crushed by the vast and mighty power by relying on his own divine soul.
But fortunately, the black pot was able to firmly stabilize the contradiction and balance between Chen Luoyang and that piece of jade.
At the same time, Chen Luoyang silently focused and cultivated Houtu. He constantly tried to figure out and comprehend the power concept of Houtu.
The quiet room gradually turned dark.
There seemed to be a layer of darkness seeping out from Chen Luoyang’s body.
This darkness was extremely deep and heavy. It did not give people a sense of evil. Instead, it was as peaceful as the embrace of Mother Earth.
It could bear all things and nurture life.
The upper part is connected with the nine heavens, and the lower part is connected with the underworld.
In the dark underground, there was the reincarnation of all living beings, facing the human world under the light.
As Chen Luoyang’s cultivation deepened, the image of the Yellow Springs Reincarnation became more and more concrete.
It was as if all living beings were walking towards eternal peace here, or towards a new life.
During this process, Chen Luoyang gained a deeper understanding of the jade piece.
He felt something in his heart.
This jade ring, to be precise, was more like a talisman.
Moreover, there should be five of them.
Among them, it seemed to correspond to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The decree in his hand represented ‘earth’.
However, this wasn’t just a simple study of the mysteries of the earth. It also seemed to be infused with the power of reincarnation.
Chen Luoyang could sense a great ambition and boldness from this as if he was determined to rebuild the human world and reorganize the universe. He couldn’t help but wonder who the original owner of the decree was.
Where were the other four decrees?
Chen Luoyang was extremely curious.
For him, the most important thing now was naturally to cultivate Houtu first, then slowly study this ancient decree.
However, the more he understood the power of the decree, the more convenient it would be for him to cultivate Houtu. The two sides were not completely contradictory, but he needed to weigh them carefully.
While Chen Luoyang was cultivating, the Flame Dragon Imperial Carriage carried him back to the Central Plains.
To a certain extent, the battle at the Snow Plateau had a decisive effect on Chen Luoyang and the Ancient Gods Clan in the Divine Lands.
They had completely established their absolute dominance in the Divine Lands.
The voices of the opposition almost completely disappeared.
First, they would defeat the Southern Expedition Coalition Army, kill the Saber Emperor in the final battle, and then begin to sweep across the Divine Prefecture.
The newly emerged Black Lotus Buddha Realm in the Snow Plateau and the Western Regions became the last resistance.
But now, it was also pacified by the Demon Empress ‘battle.
Theoretically, the entire Divine Lands would be under the rule of the Ancient Gods Clan.
It seemed that no matter what kind of enemy they were, they would be swept away by the Demon Emperor and the Ancient Gods Clan.
There were some details that most people could not possibly know.
Chen Chuhua, Su Wei, Zhang Tianheng, Xiao Yuntian, and the others had completely activated the propaganda machine. Everyone could only know that the Demon Empress was now the supreme ruler of the Divine Prefecture.
As for the other things, it was difficult for everyone to know.
This was to ensure that everyone knew about it and that it was deeply rooted in their souls.
Even those who opposed the Ancient Gods Clan had to accept the fact that the Divine Lands only had one master.
The Hierarch of Ancient Gods Clan.
Demon Emperor Chen Luoyang!
At this moment, throughout the thousands of years of history of the Divine Lands, his prestige gradually reached a peak.
This was the most complete unification in the history of the Divine Lands.
Even Emperor Xia, the founder of the Xia Dynasty, and other people who had stabilized the Divine Prefecture had never been like the Ancient Gods Clan today, where the entire world was ruled over.
If one had to find someone who could be compared to Chen Luoyang in terms of prestige, perhaps one could barely find one.
It was the one and only 15th level cultivator in the history of the Divine Lands.
Kill the dragon guest, Yun Daofei.
Although he wasn’t like Chen Luoyang today, whose forces had unified the Divine Lands, he was undoubtedly invincible in the Divine Lands back then. Just like Chen Luoyang today, this invincibility wasn’t an invincibility in a one-on-one battle. It was a one-on-one battle that would allow him to dominate the world and suppress the entire era.
However, this Dragon Slayer mysteriously disappeared from the world back then and never appeared again.
The sect that it belonged to gradually declined until it disappeared. Now, it had long lost its legacy in the Divine Lands.
The whereabouts of Dragon Slayer had been a mystery for hundreds of years.
Now, it seemed that he might have taken the initiative to go to the Mortal World.
Or perhaps because his strength had increased further, he had touched the barrier that the Demon Lord had set up for the mortal world in the past. Then, he was passively sent to the mortal world by some force and could no longer stay in the Divine Lands.
However, it seemed like the people of the mortal world did not know much about the Divine Lands. When Dragon Slayer Yun Daofei went to the mortal world, he either never mentioned his origins or left quietly without causing any trouble.
However, Chen Luoyang felt that his cultivation realm was slowly approaching the legendary 15th realm in the Divine Lands.
The fourteenth realm of the Martial Path, Spirit Realm.
Martial Path Level 15, Ruhua.
The former was the true form of the intent realm, and the essence was cultivated.
The latter was the Martial Artist Concept, reaching the Perfection Realm.
The so-called Transcendent Realm was ever-changing, free and exquisite, and not limited to form.
When martial artists condensed their own martial arts concepts, they often had a fixed appearance.
For example, Chen Luoyang’s Zhurong Form, Chiyou Form, and Xuanming
Form, or the nine devil god forms formed by the former Cult Master’s Nine Forms of the Great Heavenly Devil Hand, or the ten true dragon forms manifested by the Xia Emperor Li Yuanlong’s Ten Dragon Emperor Fist, etc.
Reaching the 15th realm, after reaching the Ruhua realm, the martial arts images would no longer be limited to the original image.
Not only did the power concept not decrease, but it also became more refined and powerful.
Chen Luoyang, Demon Monk Yuan Chen, Grandmaster Yan Hui, Cheng Huyuan, and even Saber Emperor Yu Wenfeng, who had brandished his most powerful saber at Chen Luoyang during the decisive battle at the East Sea, were more or less close to this level.
Therefore, when they unleashed their full power, their peak attacks were comparable to a powerhouse at the fifteenth level to a certain extent.
However, compared to a true expert at the fifteenth level, such a burst of power between two or three moves at the peak was not stable enough.
In a life-and-death battle, victory would be decided by a sliver of difference.
When a 15th realm expert faced existences like Chen Luoyang, there was no doubt that they had the possibility of capsizing.
But overall, the difference between the 15th and 14th level was still obvious.
Moreover, there were also differences in strength between people who were at the fifteenth realm. There were also top-notch figures in this realm.
However, due to the restrictions of the mortal world, it was difficult for them to come to the Divine Lands.
However, even if the Blood River Swordsman didn’t warn him, Chen Luoyang would still be careful.
There were no absolutes in the world. There would always be unexpected situations in this world.
In order to avoid this accident, he had to work hard to increase his strength.
Of course, he had to be careful of another thing.
If he jumped too high in one go, he might hit the ceiling of the Divine Lands first. He would not be able to stay in this world and would be automatically driven to the Mortal World.
To Chen Luoyang, he wasn’t sufficiently prepared.
It was not impossible to go now, but when the time came, it was inevitable that he would have to make concessions on many things.
If he was forced to, then there was nothing he could do.
However, if it could be avoided, it was naturally better to make preparations before leaving.
The good news was that after the battle at the Snow Plateau, the Red Dust World had also quieted down for a while. There was no situation where a large group of experts immediately went to the Divine Land to counterattack. Presumably, it was because of the problem of the candidate that made everyone feel a little awkward.
He couldn’t beat her down.
Those who could come down weren’t enough for Chen Luoyang.
The upper and lower boundaries were stuck together. It could be said that there were absolutely no suitable candidates in the middle, but the number was extremely limited.
Among these people who met the standard, there were those who had to consider entering seclusion, those who were wandering outside, and those who had other things to do…
With the resources of the western paradise, Misery, Southern Chu and the other powers, it would probably take some time to coordinate.
In comparison, the Blood River Swordsman had mentioned that Xian Tian Palace had a secret technique that allowed a peak level 15 cultivator to descend upon the Divine Lands. This threat might be more pressing.
Days passed.
Chen Luoyang sat alone in the quiet room. He stretched out a hand and clenched his fingers into a fist.
In the heavy darkness, a brand new god gradually emerged..
