Chapter 56:

"Xia Yi? It's still him." Shen Zhuimen snorted and couldn't help but sneer.

Prince Liang's Mansion is still so arrogant and arrogant. Even though he has killed an eighth-level venerable, the one he sent to negotiate with him is still a third-level venerable.

But the other party does have the ability to be arrogant.

Originally, the experts from Prince Liang's Mansion and Wu'an Army were all hiding so that the sect alliance could not figure it out. But in a great war, many things were exposed.

Although Shen Zhui didn't see guests or move around, it didn't mean that he didn't pay attention to the trends in the army.

Nowadays, the person in charge of the power in Prince Liang’s Mansion is undoubtedly Prince Liang’s eldest son, Xia Feihu!

Looking through the military merit list, people under the command of Prince Liang’s family, including heirs, retainers and secretly trained people, occupy one-third of the top 100 on the military merit list!

Xia Feihu is undoubtedly the strongest one, but Shen Zhui also has a piece of information in his hand, which shows that there is also a young master named Xia Ren who returned from an adventure in the outside world not long ago. Although he has not been on the battlefield, his cultivation is not to be underestimated.

"Did he have any clear intention of coming?" Shen Zhui asked.

"No, he just asked to see you, sir." Yu Ziqi said.

"Then blast him out." Shen Zhui said in a message.

There was no room for change between him and King Liang. Now that the battle to seal the king was successful, there was no need for him to be superficial with King Liang.

"Sir! He has left, but...he left a letter." Yu Ziqi said.

"Letter?" Shen Zhui raised his eyebrows.

As soon as he waved his hand, Yu Ziqi, who was far outside the door, felt the envelope in his hand fall out of his hand and turned into a stream of light, flying into the depths of General Shenwei's mansion.

"Whoosh~" This pale golden envelope appeared in front of him. Shen Zhui quietly stared at the six gilt characters on it: Personally signed by General Shenwei.

Just when Shen Zhui was curious and wanted to touch the letter, he stopped again.

"What a creation out of nothing!" Shen Zhui retracted his hand like lightning.

He suddenly woke up and looked at the letter in confusion.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Zhui immediately wrapped it up and quietly left the mansion and flew to the Heart Palace.

After landing in the Heart Palace, Shen Zhui immediately asked to see Marquis Wu'an.

However, Marquis Wu An did not see him, but his master Lu Yuanwei was waiting for him.

"The Marquis is in retreat." Lu Yuanwei looked at Shen Zhui who hurried over and said with some confusion. "Shen Zhui, why are you panicking?"

"Retreat?" Shen Zhui was stunned, becoming more and more sure of his guess.

"That's right, Lord Marquis has suppressed his realm for hundreds of years. Now that he has absorbed the great fortune of the King's Battle, it's time to break through the last barrier and become a true god." Lu Yuanwei said. "Until the court's decree comes, I won't be able to see guests... What's the matter with you?"

"Breakthrough? At this time..." Shen Zhui frowned.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Zhui said, "That's it. Just now, someone from Prince Liang's Mansion sent me a letter. It was from Xia Yi, the seventeenth son of Prince Liang."

Lu Yuanwei's expression also changed slightly: "How did you do it?"

"I ordered people to kick him out, but the other party left this secret letter."

"Have you ever opened it?!" Lu Yuanwei said seriously.

"Never."

"That's good." Lu Yuanwei seemed relieved. "You did the right thing."

"Master, can you give this letter to the Marquis?" Shen Zhui asked.

"The Marquis is in retreat now. Just give the letter to my master. When the Marquis comes out, I will tell him the whole story." Lu Yuanwei said.

"Then I'll trouble Master." Shen Zhui nodded.

Just as he was about to turn around, Lu Yuanwei suddenly stopped Shen Zhui and asked, "Aren't you curious about what is in this letter?"

Shen Zhui shook his head and said, "My disciple was indeed curious at first, but after thinking about it, I'm afraid there is nothing in this letter."

"It's neither a split body that is trying to assassinate me nor a threat or solicitation, it's just a blank piece of paper."

"And as soon as you open it, I estimate that the envelope will burn automatically and be irreversible."

Lu Yuanwei glanced at Shen Zhui in surprise and nodded. He originally thought that Shen Zhui had an instinctive sense of crisis, but he didn't expect that he could see it so clearly.

"Go, don't make any noise, just stay in the house."

"yes."

…………

On the way back to Shenwei Mansion, inside the cave world.

Zen Xin was a little confused and said, "Shen Zhui, is that letter really empty? Why did King Liang do this?"

"It must be empty." Shen Zhui said calmly.

"As for the reason, it is to leave a gap between me and the Marquis!"

"Is there a gap?" Zen Xin didn't understand.

"Yes, just a letter is nothing. But there are many meanings behind it." Shen Zhui shook his head.

"I was single-handedly promoted by Marquis Wu An. It is absolutely impossible for me to have any unclear connection with Prince Liang."

"Huh, Prince Liang must know that he can't win me over, but this blank letter is enough to make it difficult for me to explain."

"As long as it is opened, no matter what the content is, the letter will burn on its own. Then, who knows what Prince Liang told me?"

"Even if I take the initiative to explain that there is nothing here and that it is a conspiracy, but there is no solid evidence, it is really hard for people to believe it."

"Moreover, after returning from the Jiuyou Realm, King Liang sent Na Xiayi to meet with me many times. Although it was just a face-to-face meeting and left after a few words... But it must not be hidden from the eyes of Youxinrao."

"Zen Xin, don't you think something is wrong? Prince Liang hasn't done anything to me since I came back from the Nine Nether Realm."

"Something's not right..." Zen Xin also reacted. "With Prince Liang's strength, he can definitely cause trouble for you during this period, or prevent you from performing meritorious services, or simply send someone to kill you."

"But he didn't do anything." Shen Zhui said. "Originally, I thought that Prince Liang was trying to avoid me, because he was afraid that I would defeat him and leak the Nine Nether Soul Sword. But I was wrong."

"The sect alliance's true god deduction shows that I, the Unbroken Master, cannot be killed. King Liang must also know this."

"So it would be difficult for him to succeed in whatever he does to me, let alone kill me under the care of Marquis Wu'an."

"But sometimes killing is not the best solution. He did this because he wanted to force me to surrender and give him the things."

"He sent people to have private conversations with you many times, with the intention of driving a wedge between you and Marquis Wu'an?" Zenxin took a breath of cold air.

What is Shen Zhui's biggest backer? It's Marquis Wu'an! If Marquis Wu An does not protect him, he may be like mud in the hands of King Liang, allowing others to rub him.

"It's not a estrangement, but at least it's destroying the relationship." Shen Zhui said. "Prince Liang's palace has always hated me. I even killed the crown prince Xia Jing. Even Xia Hong could die because of me."

"However, after returning to the Jiuyou Realm, Prince Liang's Mansion not only did not harm me, but also seemed to be peaceful. This is very suspicious."

"Even if the Marquis is wise enough to see through these tricks, there might be people who are jealous of me and turn a deaf ear to me."

"Once or twice is okay. If it happens too many times, it's not accurate." Shen Zhui's eyes were worried. "As long as Marquis Wu An is even a little shaken, doesn't try his best and is not so firm in the matter of Zixuan... Prince Liang's goal will be achieved."

"When the time comes, I want to marry Zixuan but I can't. King Liang recruits me again in the name of a prince and agrees to stand for me, but only asks for the key to the door. You...do I have any other choice?"

"This..." Zenxin's eyes widened.

Thinking about it carefully, if Shen Zhui didn't agree at that time and Prince Liang had revealed the matter, it would not only be a question of whether to marry Zixuan, but also his life would be at risk.

After all, the power of the Zuo Xiang Fan family was at its peak. It was entirely possible that Shen Zhui, who was only a fourth-level Venerable, could be accidentally killed.

"I hope that Marquis Wu An will not fall into Prince Liang's scheme." Zen Xin also said with some fear.

"That's why I handed this letter directly to the Marquis without reading it," Shen Zhui said.

He felt that Marquis Wu An would definitely understand his act of showing loyalty.

But it would be bad if there was no such letter.

Marquis Wu'an may be wise and mighty, but King Zhao may not be so!

After the Battle of the King, the effectiveness of Shen Zhui was greatly reduced. Secondly, the State of Zhao has been adjacent to the State of Liang since then. Zhao Xing and Xia Wudao now have equal status, but there will be no tense conflicts like before. Because they all understand that the situation has been established, and King Liang has nothing to do with King Zhao.

There are a lot of resources in the Jiuyou Mountains. As the situation stabilizes, a large amount of resources will flow into Da Zhou from the western border via caravans. This is a huge benefit! This will slowly turn into a trend of cooperation!

Therefore, Shen Zhui cannot make any mistakes. Otherwise, the up-and-down friendship that was finally established will be consumed.

"I hope Lord Marquis can continue as before." Shen Zhui thought silently in his heart, and then returned to the mansion.

…………

He has done everything he can, and now Shen Zhui just hopes that Marquis Wu An can keep his promise and help him to the end.

It would take some time for the decree to come down, so Shen Zhui stayed at Shenwei Mansion with peace of mind.

Opening the storage ring, Shen Zhui took out a "Martial Arts Scripture" from inside.

"Martial Arts" was compiled by Wenzong Liu Ruqin. It is not a secret to cultivation, but it describes each realm and cultivation direction in detail. But it also has an advantage, that is, it simplifies the complex methods of ancient sects and secret scriptures into easy-to-understand methods, so that all low-level practitioners can benefit from it.

Some people have said that as long as they thoroughly understand this "Martial Arts", even those who make breakthroughs can hope to find a path to the true god.

Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is enough to prove the charm of this book.

"When you reach the level of cultivation, you can unlock the mysteries of the human brain. The three souls and seven souls are nurtured and grown by the cave world, and your understanding is greatly improved. Any skill or secret skill can be easily mastered. You are no longer restricted by the previous restrictions."

“In addition to expanding one’s cave world, the Venerable level also needs to practice specific techniques.

Different exercises have different effects. It's bad, it just adds some understanding.

In addition to speeding up understanding of the rules, those who are strong can even draw inferences from one instance to make up for their shortcomings, turning their weaknesses into strengths. For example, he was originally only good at the way of gold, but he became a venerable person with the heart of the world of gold. The other five elements are extremely weak.

But we can also slowly make up for it, allowing the other paths to reach the same status as the Golden Way.

Even, condense the heart of the new world! The powerful technique can even allow a Venerable with a single world heart to condense the hearts of nine worlds when he reaches the peak of the Venerable. Of course, the heart of the world condensed at this time will no longer receive gifts from the world.

Therefore, when choosing a venerable-level technique, you must be extremely cautious, and it is better to have less than too much! "

Seeing the description in the martial arts scripture, Shen Zhui's eyes suddenly lit up, as if the door to a new world had opened.

"I heard that the Marquis has stayed at the Venerable level for more than two hundred years. It's not that he can't break through, but that he stayed there deliberately."

"And the Buried Sword Venerable is also an extremely talented person. He was a Venerable ninety years ago, but he still hasn't broken the True God."

"It turns out that at the Venerable level, they are all making up for their weaknesses in qualifications and pursuing the ultimate way. Therefore, although they are only at the Venerable level, they can kill the true gods. Once they break through, they will definitely be able to aspire to be the top true god in the future. Among them!"

After writing down these words, Shen Zhui continued to read back.

"Understand the rules and master an advanced rule at the venerable level, and you will have the opportunity to attack the true god."

"But this is only a small chance."

"At the true god level, you can condense your divine body and master the laws. Understanding the rules and transforming the advanced rules into laws is just one of them."

"Strengthen the three souls and seven souls, constantly excavate the treasures of the divine body, and let the body undergo transformation. Eventually, the three souls and seven souls will be completely integrated with every flesh and blood of the body. Only then will the divine body be able to withstand the unpredictable power of the law! "

"Only when you break through can you be able to withstand the power released by the Heart of the World."

Wow~ The pages of the book turned, and Shen Zhui continued reading.

"Of course, the Fangwai sect has some extremely unique methods and directly skips the step of condensing the divine body."

"For example, the Corpse Puppet Sect of Fangwai Sect has a secret method that can separate the divine body from the original body that controls the laws, and use the second corpse god to bear the impact of the laws."

"But it is equivalent to the separation of law and divine body. Although the sect world claims to have a method that makes it easier to become a true god, stupidity is not an option and cannot be called a true god."

Seeing the familiar three words Corpse Puppet Sect, Shen Zhui couldn't help but mutter: "Controlled by laws, separated from the divine body? It can still be like this, but the true gods cultivated by the Corpse Puppet Sect's method are not as powerful as those combined with the laws of the divine body. the way."

"The most dangerous step to attack the true god is not the understanding of the rules, but the fusion of the three souls and seven souls with flesh and blood.

Three souls and seven souls are extremely mysterious and extremely fragile. If you don't reach the realm, you can't understand it. When the Venerable Level attacks the True God Level, one careless move can easily injure three souls and seven souls without even realizing it.

Fusion of flesh and blood makes the soul and body into one, which is equivalent to breaking up the soul and spirit. If it fails, the three souls and seven souls will be destroyed, and the path of cultivation will come to an end. It is absolutely impossible to advance! Therefore, if you are not completely sure, remember not to scatter your soul, and try your best to make your soul reach its peak state when it hits the realm! "

"Remember!"

…

The word "remember" shocked Shen Zhui. With his current state, he has mastered the advanced rules, and according to theory, he is actually qualified to attack the true god.

However, that is also theoretical. Now that he has seen the admonition in "Martial Arts", Shen Zhui will certainly not seek death to scatter his soul. If he really does this, he will probably lose his soul immediately.

No wonder Marquis Wu An is in seclusion now. It is the most critical moment to disperse the soul and spirit. It is impossible to come out to see him again.

"According to what the martial arts scripture says, I need a skill now." Shen Zhui thought to himself. "And we must find a method that enhances the rules of transformation and cultivates the divine body. We cannot find a method that is incomplete like the Corpse Puppet Sect."

To break through the true god, one can understand the rules and cultivate the heart of the world, so that the power of rules can transform into the power of laws.

The second is to cultivate the three souls and seven souls and tap the potential of the body, which involves the cultivation of the soul and the physical body.

If you miss any one path, it will be difficult to break through to the True God.

Some venerables, although physically strong and powerful, have extremely strong fighting prowess. However, the power of rules cannot be transformed into the power of law, so it will always be stuck at the Venerable level, and eventually its lifespan will be exhausted.

In addition, although the understanding of the rules is very deep, even comparable to the understanding of the true god realm, but without a body that carries the rules, it is still impossible to break through, or you can only choose to break through in a very unique way.

"There is no such concurrent practice in the military." Shen Zhui checked the Chuanwu Hall and found that there were no techniques for cultivating to the true god. Most of them were attack secrets, sword techniques, Taoist techniques, etc.

"It seems that the secret of the True God's breakthrough is a secret of the imperial court. Just like "Liuhe Daozang", it will not be spread at all."

"Perhaps the three Wu Hous have it, but now we can only wait for the Hou Lords to come out of seclusion." Shen Zhui thought in his mind.

Since even Chuanwu Palace does not have this technique, it proves that this technique is a secret that even he cannot check.

It is impossible for Dingwuhou and Shenjianhou to pass it on to him. It might be possible for Marquis Wu An, but he is in retreat.

"But there is no rush. After entering Beijing, sooner or later we will be able to see this kind of technique."

According to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, at the level of marquis, when a person is ennobled, he must return to Beijing to report his duties to the Ministry of War. A painter is also asked to make a portrait for the Ministry of War's records. This time, it was inevitable that Shen Zhui would be granted the title of marquis and enter the capital.

"According to the agreement, Zixuan should be at Xuanyue Fairy Island now. I wonder how she is doing!"

Shen Zhui returned to the direction of Wangjing City and thought.

…………

After calming down, Shen Zhui continued to read.

In the martial arts scriptures, several techniques are introduced to reach the true god level. Even the secret methods of various major sects were brought out to compare their advantages and disadvantages.

Ranking number one is the Royal Family's "The Promise of the Emperor". It was created by the Emperor Ming of the current dynasty. It was generally not spread among the outside world and only the children of the royal family could learn it.

Ranked second is Jiuyou Sect's "Nine Nether Divine Body", which is rumored to be a part separated from the Supreme Secret Technique of Jiuyou Divine Sect. Among them, the Liuhe Sect inherited the "Liuhe Daozang" which integrated the rules.

The Nine Nether Sect, on the other hand, has inherited the secret method of cultivating the divine body, the "Nine Nether Divine Body". As for Taishangjiao, it is the "Taishang Lian Shen" that inherits alchemy and weapon refining.

Ranked third is the secret book "Xuan Yue Celestial Body" from Xuan Yue Immortal Island in the South China Sea. It uses the power of external stars to temper the body. It is said that Xuan Yue Celestial Body has the effect of strengthening the soul and is the most balanced method.

In addition, there are some techniques whose sources cannot be verified, and only a few techniques are included in the "Martial Arts". For example, "Sword Code", such as the partial "Dharma Body".

The former is to practice various weapons and exist completely as one's own destiny. Swordsmanship absorbs all rules. It was so powerful that even the heart of the world turned into a sword of the heart, completely separated from the body and attacking.

The latter is even more outrageous. It uses Taoism to condense a huge external meridians, trying to form a Dharma body that can be driven by the earth. There is no need to bear the risk at all.

However, very few have mastered these secret codes. It is very difficult. From generation to generation, only one person out of tens of thousands of people can master it. As time goes by, few people have seen it.

However, because of its great power, Liu Ruqin still included it in the "Wu Jing" as Zheng

As for the civil service path? There is absolutely no such method. Find Shuyuan www.ｽhaoｓhuyuan.comｍ There is no bottleneck at all. But no one knows what it would be like for a civil servant to become a true god. It seems that this does not depend on cultivation at all, so it is not included at all.

"call!"

After turning to the end, Shen Zhui let out a sigh of relief. , the martial arts scriptures in the army are not complete, they only provide the way of the true god.

And it is not that difficult to obtain these powerful skills, at least the possibility in the military is very low.

"I am now at the fourth level of the Venerable. I am not in a hurry to practice the skills. I can completely improve my understanding of the rules first. There are systematic good skills, and the speed is much faster than those methods!"

"The Divine Body Condensation Technique. When the Marquis comes out of seclusion, ask him first. If it doesn't work, go to the capital to look for it. He is only ranked as the Marquis of Wu, so it shouldn't be difficult to find a good technique." Shen Zhui thought to himself.

…………

Time one passed, and in the blink of an eye, another seven passed. During these seven days, Shen Zhui had been cultivating behind closed doors, not caring about worldly affairs, and devoted himself to cultivating quietly to consolidate his realm. Stay until the seventh morning. "Dong dong~" A rapid knock on the door sounded, and Yu Ziqi's voice came in again. "My lord, come out quickly!" "The imperial court's reward decree has arrived! The chief inspector is waiting in the heart hall!"
