Chapter 1026

Bad news—the Immortal Qin great Fangshi is about to enter Xianyang, step onto Mount Li, and enter the Imperial Mausoleum!

As everyone knows, Xianyang is Chang'an, and Chang'an is Xianyang; the distance between the two is truly limited. Now, the Cao clan's temporary palace—

Star Soup—this hot spring originating from the Heavenly Zhou Divine Dynasty, gathering the grace of the stars, known as one of the nine spirit springs in the world, is at the foot of Mount Li!

Good news—the remaining forces of the Immortal Qin have lent them an arsenal!

Who knows what kind of things are in the Immortal Qin arsenal?

Dutian Divine Thunder Tower?

Three Realms Hundong Life and Death Qi Cannon?

The military leaders of the Liuzhen looked at Qian Chen with eyes that previously held a bit of contempt, but now held only full reverence.

This monk's reach is heaven-piercing; he is truly a character!

Ordinary monks beg for alms to eat, kneeling to beg; wealthy monks beg for spirit lands and gold and silver, standing to beg; monks with great supernatural powers save all living beings, the monk stands, and the donor kneels to beg!

But these monks all beg from foolish men and women; whether standing or kneeling, in the eyes of this group of people who hold the handles of knives, it's just like that!

Usually, it is they who find monks to beg from.

But this monk is different; he stood and begged for alms, and whoever had money and knives, he begged from them; hard—too hard!

He Basheng was young after all and couldn't help but ask: "Then who else's debts are there behind? Master, please tell us all together, and we will all agree to them."

"Slow down!" Qian Chen raised his hand and smiled: "These all have to be repaid, some even with one's life. It is best for you all to listen clearly. Moreover, the six arsenals I have begged for, each one is very substantial and abundant, and it may not be necessary to use them all."

"This third storehouse is also not simple; it is what I begged from the Louguan Sect, one of the three sects of the Supreme Dao. This storehouse is the old collection of the Louguan..."

"Louguan Sect?" He Basheng had a straight gut and said quickly: "Is that the Louguan Sect that was exterminated by others?"

Dugu Xin was also a bit curious: "Is that the Louguan Sect inherited by Li Er, who defeated the dragon and elephant with his sword and shook Jiankang with his might?"

Cao Xuanwei was also thoughtful: "Is that the Louguan Sect whose guardian of the overseas Return to Ruins appeared, killed the true dragon, and suppressed the Nascent Soul?"

The expressions of the group of military leaders were slightly different; after all, a monk begging for alms at a Daoist's door, no matter how you look at it, is strange! How could they not have started fighting?

At this moment, Cao Xuanwei suddenly understood some things and said bluntly: "The Queen Mother of the West's kingdom, the Immortal Qin, and the Louguan Sect—these happen to be the three forces that had legends when the Return to Ruins appeared in the world some years ago. It is rumored that the Queen Mother of the West's Emperor's Lower Capital Kunlun Ruins appeared and clashed with the cosmic starships brought by the Immortal Qin great Fangshi Xu Fu, almost wiping out all the Nascent Souls present. And the only one who boarded the Western Kunlun Ruins and clashed with Xu Fu was the Louguan Sect's guardian, True Person Qian Chen!"

"Master, are you..."

"That's right!" Qian Chen admitted frankly: "I was also among those who went to the Return to Ruins in the past, and I had the opportunity to see those two great forces of the ancient past, so I used this promise to beg for two storehouses of military supplies! And this storehouse of the Louguan Sect was promised by True Person Qian Chen himself..."

"Not long from now, the Louguan of Mount Zhongnan will reopen, and the only successor, Li Er, will climb the mountain, build a hut at the holy site of the Supreme Dao Ancestor, climb the tower to observe the qi, and continue the lineage."

"At that time, the gates of the Supreme Louguan will be wide open, and those with affinity from the four directions and ten realms can all join the sect. At that time, the military cultivators who borrowed a storehouse of military supplies from the Louguan can also remotely pay respects to the True Person, kowtow to request the dharma decree, wear talismans to cultivate the Dao, and become his outer disciples of the Louguan Sect; no one shall obstruct them!"

Cao Xuanwei didn't even think about it this time and said: "The Louguan Sect is the true transmission of the Supreme, helping our Great Wei countless times. In the past, during the Murong demon calamity, it was their Sect Master True Person who fought to the death to strike down the Longcheng!"

"In the past, when the Louguan suffered a calamity, the Great Wei was powerless to stop it, which was already improper. Now that we have a little spare strength, we will definitely help the Louguan shine again!"

These words sounded good.

And most of it was what Cao Xuanwei said sincerely. In the past, the Louguan Sect truly had nothing to say to his Cao family and the Northern Wei. Many people from the aristocratic families in the court also joined the sect, and the incense relationship was not broken. Moreover, the current Great Wei imperial clan and empress clan are separated, and the Fomen is gradually becoming too powerful to control. It is precisely the time to balance Daoism and Buddhism and stabilize the situation.

Relying only on True Person Kou alone to resist the three inheritances of Chang'an, Luoyang, and the Great Snow Mountain Fomen, and countless great powers, is truly having more heart than strength.

Now that the Louguan is shining again, although there is only one successor, Li Er, even if he once defeated Wang Longxiang, who was as famous as himself, it has only been a mere hundred years; how high can his cultivation be?

The Louguan is reopening, with only two or three kittens, and it is likely that they are also in urgent need of his Great Wei's support.

And that Louguan guardian, Qian Chen, was seen by his grand-uncle with his own eyes. It is said that he is terrifyingly strong and may be the reincarnation of an ancient Louguan Sect Nascent Soul True Immortal, having personally killed more than one Nascent Soul!

Under these circumstances, his Cao clan is naturally happy to see the Louguan reopen and owe such a favor.

He agreed immediately!

With Cao Xuanwei's agreement, Qian Chen's calculations were eighty percent complete.

After all, the Liuzhen gather seven or eight percent of the world's military seeds and hidden dragons. Now, as long as they kowtow to request the talisman decree, they can wear talismans to cultivate the Dao. With this hand, no matter how this military force develops, Qian Chen can wash it clean and swallow it, turning it into the power of the Louguan's outer sect!

Mainly, Qian Chen has no confidence in leading them onto the righteous path; after all, his military lineage also comes from the Great Heavenly Demon Stele.

It is the authentic demonic path!

Therefore, this promise is just an excuse to wash them clean and turn from demon to Dao in the future.

Li Zhong looked at Qian Chen, his expression complex.

How much suffering had his eldest brother endured outside, risking how many life-and-death calamities, to make so many friends, form good affinities, and earn such a large family business.

Thinking of all this, it was all to pave the way for himself.

The six storehouses of military supplies prepared by Qian Chen were likely all prepared for his own start-up. If it weren't for his own incompetence and lack of courage, letting his brother down... thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel his eyes redden.

He lowered his head to wipe away this strange color.

Looking up, he saw Qian Chen smiling at him, with no blame in his eyes, only expectation.

Qian Chen scanned the crowd. Sure enough, after the Queen Mother of the West's kingdom and the Immortal Qin, this storehouse of the Louguan Sect did not cause any waves.

Those military leaders and warlords mostly turned it over in their stomachs and secretly said: "The Louguan Sect is the true transmission of the Supreme, the orthodox Daoist sect; it is indeed profound, and accumulating a storehouse of military supplies is also natural."

"But it was exterminated, relying only on the old immortals left over from the previous generation to come forward, and the little dolls newly admitted to the sect to support the scene; it is also embarrassing!"

Qian Chen sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, one cannot gain respect just by relying on wealth!"

This gave a sweet date, so he had to add a slap!

But this time the Louguan is shining again, it is not the true transmission of the Supreme Three Sects, the orthodox Daoist sect appearing in the world, but his Qian Chen Daoist Lord suppressing the world, letting everyone know what is called—Supreme Orthodoxy.

I want the world to know who is in charge of this Earth Immortal Realm!

"The next storehouse of military supplies comes from outside the sky!"

"You must know that there are immeasurable sands of worlds in this boundary sea, but there are only a few great realms, known as the 'Cosmos'! The Heavenly Realm we know is one of the Cosmos. In the past, this Earth Immortal Realm could also be called the 'Cosmos', but it is a pity that the lineage has withered and the prosperity is no more. And this fourth storehouse of military supplies is what I borrowed from the Lord of Reincarnation, the great power who dominates everything in the Reincarnation Heaven, one of the Cosmos!"

When Qian Chen said this, most people were confused, only feeling that his tone was very large, but everyone in the Heavenly Realm knows that there are a few Cosmos, but it is an extremely secret legend.

And the name of Reincarnation Heaven is also considered remote among the Cosmos.

Who is the Lord of Reincarnation?

It is even more unknown.

But only a few people felt a monstrous giant wave in their hearts. Not to mention how shocked Yuwen Tai and Pu Liu Ru were, even Cao Xuanwei was suddenly startled, staring at Qian Chen solemnly: "You actually borrowed a storehouse from the Lord of Reincarnation?"

Yuwen Tai secretly thought: "That's right, the Master pushed us into the Reincarnation Realm and granted us the Reincarnation True Talisman; he must also be one of the great powers! Being able to beg for alms from the Lord of Reincarnation, although it is still hard to imagine, is also within reason."

And Cao Xuanwei was a bit dumbfounded!

"Master can actually borrow a storehouse from the Lord of Reincarnation, this... how much morality did this cost..." He said half of it, not daring to open his mouth again.

Qian Chen looked at him in surprise: "I didn't expect this Crown Prince Xuanwei to also know some things about the Reincarnation Land. That's right! True Person Kou is a Reincarnation Walker, and the gods of the Heavenly Court do things after receiving merit. When they reach a certain level, the Reincarnation Land is really no secret!"

He glanced and found that the Liuzhen were indeed mostly bumpkins, their eyes blurred, mostly not knowing what the Lord of Reincarnation represented.

On the contrary, the personal guards brought by Cao Xuanwei were not lacking in those from the Chang'an aristocratic families, who had some reaction to the Lord of Reincarnation.

He said lightly: "The Lord of Reincarnation acts most fairly. If you borrow her loan, you must repay it in the future. This storehouse of military supplies is not like the others; once you wear it and use it, you may be sent into the Reincarnation Heaven by the Lord of Reincarnation to repay the debt for us!"

Cao Xuanwei nodded and sighed: "I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse, but it is an opportunity after all, so tell them to take it as they please."

Qian Chen didn't lie either; the condition he negotiated with the Creation Cauldron was exactly this.

The Lord of Reincarnation fishes for people to go to her Reincarnation Land, but she doesn't just plunder people casually; at least it is in a death calamity, and she asks for that person's permission before she will take them into the Reincarnation Heaven to rotate through the ten thousand worlds.

And taking this storehouse of military supplies means letting the Lord of Reincarnation choose people to enter reincarnation!

This is also Qian Chen's means of influencing the Liuzhen' military.

At the same time, it also adds people to his Central Team!

Seeing Cao Xuanwei nod in approval, the military leaders of the Liuzhen looked at each other, not knowing what kind of path this "repaying debt" was, how it looked like an opportunity, and also a bit dangerous.

Seeing their confusion, Cao Xuanwei also sighed and said: "The matter of the Reincarnation Heaven has been circulated in the Earth Immortal Realm since ancient times. This realm is an 'Upper Realm' like the Heavenly Realm, with countless Nascent Soul True Immortals, and not lacking in Daoist Lords. In the past, the Immortal Qin also sent a large army to conquer the Reincarnation Heaven, and half of the later Boundary Sea Great Wall was also to guard against this realm!"

"The Immortal Qin conquered it!"

"And returned without success!"

The military leaders of the Liuzhen looked at each other; just these few words told them the gold content of the Reincarnation Heaven.

"This realm..." Cao Xuanwei opened his mouth, just wanting to say that this realm might not be inferior to the Heavenly Realm, but finally swallowed it back.

Once you enter reincarnation, it is a variable.

For the current Great Wei, variables are not necessarily a good thing.

"This fourth storehouse is also a great force..."

Everyone looked at Qian Chen again, wanting to see who else he dared not beg for alms from.

Qian Chen coughed twice: "This... this fifth storehouse is indeed a bit difficult, it is a Daoist Lord who has just proven the Dao, called..."

"Cough cough!"

Qian Chen cleared his throat. Li Zhong had a strange look; it was the first time he had seen his eldest brother find it difficult to speak!

Cao Xuanwei was also secretly complaining, wondering what kind of force it was that made the senior find it difficult to speak.

"Called the Fallen Demon Lord!"

"This Lord has just opened the Dao fruit and is about to show her skills, especially enjoying helping others! Hearing that I was in trouble, she took the initiative to come to the door and lend me a storehouse of secret treasures. You must know that this Fallen Demon Lord is especially good at leading people into the demon path, has a deep foundation in the Nine Heavens, and is on good terms with both the Blood Sea and the Nine Heavens paths. It's just that she has some small misunderstandings with the Daoist and Buddhist sects. She hates evil as much as an enemy, and hearing that the Great Heavenly Demon Murong Chui is again leading the demon army to invade, she is especially indignant and willing to sponsor you unconditionally to resist the incoming enemy."

"And she wants to join hands with everyone to take down the Longcheng..."

Tan Wuchen was frozen; he pulled Qian Chen's sleeve, wanting to ask: "Brother, this is a demon, right! Brother?"

Cao Xuanwei was also dumbfounded, looking at Qian Chen foolishly, and only after a long time said: "Fallen... Demon Lord... Yan Shixiong, is the title of this Daoist Lord a bit?"

The military leaders of the Liuzhen looked at each other and whispered: "It's a Demon Lord, right? He said it's a Demon Lord, right?"

"This Buddhist great virtue, how is his path wilder than ours?"

"Begging for alms from a Demon Lord, this high monk is indeed a leader of the Fomen..."

"Didn't you hear that she took the initiative to come to the door? It seems the Fallen Demon Lord enjoys helping others!"

Cao Xuanwei's mouth twitched slightly, looking at Qian Chen hesitantly, his eyes seemingly asking: "Master, do you have any unspeakable difficulties? If so, I will refuse it."

Qian Chen was calm at this time!

He sat cross-legged and smiled: "This storehouse of military supplies is a forced buy and sell, take it! It is a good affinity, not taking it is an evil affinity, it all depends on whether you all give this face."

Everyone present was speechless.

Who could have imagined that this Master's path was so wild, begging for alms all the way to a Demon Lord!

"The last storehouse is a good affinity begged from one of you donors."

Qian Chen smiled slightly, and Li Zhong knew—it was his turn!

So he held up the bronze tiger-mask tablet and knelt on one knee: "The ancestors of the Li family once founded the Western Liang! Although it was destroyed by the demon calamity later, it left behind a secret treasure key."

"My Li family has pondered for a thousand years, but it is still difficult to enter. I was unfortunately framed by a villain, brought the treasure here, and have gained nothing for forty years. Now, thanks to the Master's guidance, I am suddenly enlightened!"

"I am willing to offer the secret key and send all the treasures hidden within to my own brothers, to resist the strong enemy together!"

He had a good relationship with others, and seeing him offer the treasure, everyone exclaimed: "Brother Li Zhong!"

"We heard about Brother Li Zhong's background and knew there must be a reason, but this is the treasure left by your ancestors, and it is also the opportunity you have guarded for forty years. How can you use your family wealth to fulfill public affairs?"

He Basheng drew his sword and looked left and right, saying: "Brother Li Zhong, is there someone secretly coveting the treasure key on you?"

"Speak up, and I, He Basheng, will be the first to disagree!"

Li Zhong pretended to be moved: "Brothers, you don't know. My brothers and I are the direct descendants of the Western Liang Kingdom Lord of the Li family! The secret key to the Western Liang treasure was originally two pieces, held by my two brothers. After my brother Li Er went missing, I mistakenly thought that someone in the clan was plotting to seize this treasure, so I hid and left."

"It wasn't until these days that I finally got news of my brother, knowing that he had joined the Louguan Sect!"

"Now that my brother is here, my family has hope of revival. This so-called Western Liang treasure is just an external object; how can it still implicate my brother and me in not being able to reunite?"

"So my brother also entrusted this high monk of great virtue to send the other half of the key! He originally intended for me to find an opportunity to abandon this evil affinity. Now that the Northern Frontier is in trouble, my Li family has received the grace of the country for generations, and I also have the friendship of comrades with you brothers. The demon army is surging, and a great disaster is coming; how could I forget the grace of the country and the friendship of comrades for a useless object?"

Li Zhong stood up and cupped his hands: "Brothers, don't say anything else; if this object can be used in a practical place, it is my younger brother's luck!"

Cao Xuanwei was also moved: "But Chang'an..."

Li Zhong dismissed it: "They are just old and useless people; how can they compare to the friendship between me and you brothers, how can they compare to the grace of His Highness's appreciation!"

"Good!"

Seeing Li Zhong's determination, Cao Xuanwei was even willing to break with the Longxi Li family, but he stood on his side, stood on the side of the Liuzhen.

After today, he could truly be considered one of their own in the Liuzhen; the originally vague stance was instantly clear.

Even the family treasure, the Western Liang secret treasure, was offered.

Who would dare to say that Li Zhong is not one of their own?

Qian Chen nodded: "Since you have all agreed to these six storehouses of military supplies and six promises, I will open the treasure house and let you choose..."

Dugu Xin interrupted: "Wait, Brother Li Zhong's promise hasn't been said yet?"

"This loyalty is a promise!"

Qian Chen said no more, and the wooden alms bowl in his hand flipped.

The bowl flew high, covering the entire Buddhist tower, and no one knew if they had fallen into the bowl, or if the bowl had encompassed the world.

In a dirty monk's robe, Qian Chen stepped upward, toward the first floor of the Buddhist tower...

Arriving at the first floor, sure enough, a bronze tiger-mask door appeared in the tower.

In the center of the door, a pair of huge bronze beast heads held rings, the beast eyes were bright and piercing, the red rust in the pupils seemed to drip, as if they were about to choose someone to devour.

The copper ring was a pair of human sacrifices surrounding it, the tiger holding a human corpse, extremely fierce.

Qian Chen pressed his hands on the bronze door, and the ferocious beast heads holding the copper rings suddenly bit down, and gurgling blood flowed from Qian Chen's hands.

His palms were pierced by the beast teeth, but he still pushed open the door with slow force.

Finally, a towering bronze tree appeared before everyone.

About nine layers, the heavy canopy was like a tower, all cast in bronze, with lush branches and leaves, but not a trace of vitality. The trunk was thick like a pillar, and the surface was covered with mottled copper green, as if it had experienced the baptism of countless years.

"Undying Tree!"

Looking up at the bronze tree, Cao Xuanwei muttered in a low voice.

Tan Wuchen was also shocked in his heart.

This ancient bronze tree seemed to have walked out of ancient mythology, carrying a very strange mystery. This treasure house was empty, where were there any traces of treasure, only this bronze tree.

Ancient and mysterious patterns were carved on it, and the overall layout was like a kind of sacrifice!

The children of the Liuzhen' military had no scruples, no fear, looked at the bronze divine tree, looked left and right, and asked: "Since it is a military secret treasure, why is there nothing?"

Qian Chen said: "Although the Queen Mother of the West's kingdom is close to 'Immortal', the country is still dominated by the Witch Dao. To open the weapons and witch medicines hidden within, it still requires a kind of ritual..."
