Chapter 282: Secrets

In the twelfth year of Chuping, General Pacifying the East Gao Ding led a million-strong army to the gates of Luoyang City. After besieging the city for three months, the army inside Luoyang City finally could not hold on and surrendered.

Thus, the world was unified.

In December of the same year, the Young Emperor of Han, Liu Bian, called upon the world and abdicated to Gao Ding.

The Divine Han perished, and the Zhonghua was established.

In June of the first year of Zhonghua, the Grand Ancestor Gao Ding performed the Fengshan sacrifice at Taishan.

In an instant, the Azure Dragon wept blood, and the heavens and earth wailed.

"Hahaha!"

At the peak of Taishan, the moment Su Fan completed the Fengshan sacrifice, the heavens and earth changed color, and the wind and clouds shifted.

"Protect His Majesty!"

This sudden change caused the expressions of the generals guarding the surroundings to change.

"No need."

Su Fan looked at the sky, his eyes as if piercing through time and space. When he became the master of this world and performed the Fengshan sacrifice at Taishan, several messages appeared in his mind.

"So that's how it is!"

"This Liu clan's Azure Dragon of Luck actually came about this way. By converting the Dragon of Human Luck into their Liu clan's Azure Dragon of Luck, they could preserve the Liu clan's luck for generations."

"Liu Bang and Liu Che had good mentalities."

"It's a pity, though—the human heart is hard to fathom, and furthermore, you let the heavens and earth nourish your Liu clan."

"Mo Lao, should I call you Mo Lao, or should I address you as the Nanhua Laoxian?"

After a long time, Su Fan suddenly looked at an old man among the ministers accompanying him to the Fengshan sacrifice at Taishan.

"Haha! As expected, this old man could not hide it from His Majesty."

Mo Lao—no, it should be the Nanhua Laoxian—did not hide it at this moment. As his words fell, his originally somewhat hunched posture suddenly straightened, and his whole body exuded an aura of an immortal.

This sudden change also caused Xu Chu's expression to change. He hurriedly came to Su Fan's side, fully alert, looking at the Nanhua Laoxian.

From this person, he sensed a threat of death.

"Zhongkang, don't worry. I believe the Old Immortal will not harm me."

"Haha! General Xu, don't worry. Now that Zhonghua has been established, His Majesty bears the luck of Zhonghua, and there is no one in the world who can be his enemy."

The Nanhua Laoxian stroked his beard and laughed.

But Xu Chu did not change, still staring fixedly at the Nanhua Laoxian.

"Your Majesty, now that you also understand the secret of this heaven and earth, I wonder what you will do next?"

The Nanhua Laoxian looked at Su Fan, his eyes carrying a bit of anticipation.

"Haha! What does the Old Immortal think I will do?"

Su Fan, hearing this, laughed lightly. At this moment, he finally understood the significance of this Fengshan sacrifice at Taishan.

It was not just for the sake of the world's righteousness.

At the same time, it was also for the sake of this dynasty's luck and human luck.

The Fengshan sacrifice at Taishan, the establishment of the dynasty, obtained the recognition of the heavens and earth and the recognition of humanity, and the dynasty's Golden Dragon of Luck appeared.

At this moment, on Taishan, the original Liu clan's Azure Dragon had perished, and his Zhonghua Empire's Golden Dragon of Luck was slowly emerging.

This was the secret of the Fengshan sacrifice at Taishan.

Of course, at this moment, he also understood why the Nanhua Laoxian would cultivate Zhang Jiao, or rather, it was not just the Nanhua Laoxian, but the choice of the Daoist sect—Zhang Jiao.

It was to destroy the luck of the Liu clan's Divine Han.

Not just Zhang Jiao; in the four thousand years of the Divine Han, countless rebellions had been fueled by the Daoist sect or the Hundred Schools of Thought behind the scenes.

It was just that Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Rebellion and Wang Mang's rebellion were the two largest to date.

The damage caused to the Divine Han was also the greatest.

The Fengshan sacrifice at Taishan, establishing the dynasty's luck.

But in order to make the Divine Han immortal, the Liu clan killed a flood dragon, then used a secret technique to refine its dragon soul, merging it with the Divine Han's Golden Dragon of Luck, turning it into an Azure Dragon to suppress the world and seal the heavens and earth.

Since then, this heaven and earth were suppressed by the Liu clan's Azure Dragon, and no one could transcend it, using the ten thousand paths of humanity to nourish the Liu clan's Azure Dragon.

Truly a good method. No wonder that since the establishment of the Divine Han, the peak of the Dharma Image stage and the peak of the Yin Spirit stage had been the most powerful.

There were no more cultivators at the Yang Spirit and Dharma Body realms.

It was completely because of the suppression and sealing of the heavens and earth by that Liu clan's Azure Dragon.

At this moment, the Nanhua Laoxian asked him how he would choose, nothing more than worrying that he would choose this path like the Liu clan. That Liu clan's Azure Dragon had already perished, but the dragon soul was still there. If he wanted to, he could still merge the dragon soul into the Zhonghua Empire's Golden Dragon of Luck, suppress the world again, seal the heavens and earth, and thereby delay the luck of their Gao clan and delay the luck of the Zhonghua Empire.

"His Majesty is magnificent and talented, and his mind is even like the First Emperor's. I believe His Majesty should be able to see the destruction of humanity caused by the Liu clan using this secret method."

The Nanhua Laoxian said earnestly.

"This method of the Liu clan imprisons the world. If all dynasties in the future learn from him, then this world will only become weaker and weaker. The rise and fall of dynasties, the impermanence of worldly affairs—no one can avoid it."

"The Liu clan's attempt to defy the heavens and change things will definitely have a bad outcome."

"Haha! The Old Immortal is right."

Su Fan laughed loudly upon hearing this.

This world was truly as the Nanhua Laoxian said; in later generations, I fear that for the Fengshan sacrifice at Taishan, they would always choose this path of the Liu clan.

However, this path, although it could delay the lifespan of the dynasty, also caused the loss of all things in the heavens and earth, eventually forming the Age of Dharma Decline.

Nourishing one generation with all things—I don't know where the Liu clan got this secret technique.

But Su Fan disdained it. From this, one could see the patterns of Liu Bang and the First Emperor.

The First Emperor performed the Fengshan sacrifice at Taishan, but it was always just to sacrifice to the heavens and earth. Human luck condensed the dynasty's Golden Dragon of Luck, suppressing luck with himself.

The Ancestral Dragon returned to the heavens, still nourishing the heavens and earth with his soul, guarding the Zhonghua Divine Dynasty. After the Fengshan sacrifice, Su Fan could still sense that trace of the Ancestral Dragon's aura.

It had always guarded this piece of heaven and earth, but this world, because of the Heavenly Dao transformed by the Liu clan's Azure Dragon, ultimately caused all things to degenerate.

One must know that before this, humanity was the master.

After the First Emperor conquered the heavens, the Heavenly Dao of this world became obscured while the Human Dao flourished; otherwise, how could the Hundred Schools of Thought have thrived?

The Ancestral Dragon reigned for four hundred years, and the number of cultivators who transcended the world was unknown.

Humanity was prosperous, so naturally, all things were prosperous, the heavens and earth had no seals, and cultivators could also cultivate.

But the Liu clan used the Azure Dragon to change the Azure Heaven, the Heavenly Dao slowly revived, suppressing all things, in exchange for the longevity of the Divine Han.

No wonder Zhang Jiao had to shout the slogan "The Azure Heaven is dead, the Yellow Heaven shall stand." It turned out this was truly a crusade against the heavens.

Unfortunately, he failed.

But fortunately, the Azure Dragon was severely wounded by the Daoist sect with the help of Zhang Jiao's hand, and now he had obtained the world.

Now it was his turn to choose. Like the Liu clan, perhaps his Zhonghua Empire could exist for a longer time—five thousand years, or even ten thousand years.

But humanity would be continuously suppressed, and the heavens and earth would slowly degenerate.

"Since I have come, then I will make a tiny, insignificant change for humanity in this world."

In the end, Su Fan's choice was to place the Imperial Jade Seal on the Fengshan site at the peak of Taishan, operating human luck to bless the Golden Dragon of Luck.

Ang!

The Golden Dragon roared, instantly enveloping the entire Zhonghua land.

"Perish for me."

Immediately, Su Fan pointed into the void, and instantly that broken dragon soul was shattered by the Golden Dragon's claw.

"Hahaha..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Nanhua Laoxian shed tears and bowed in submission. ===== CHAPTER 283 =====
