Chapter 823

Tuoba Tao hurriedly took Qian Chen away, but he didn't explain what the 'urgent matter' was, and he probably hadn't thought of it yet!

Old Lady Tuoba just shook her head and sighed slightly in the Buddha hall.

The maid beside her asked: "Old Matriarch, do you want to remind the young master?"

The old lady just sighed: "If you don't recognize the true Buddha, what's the use of reminding him? He won't do it right either..."

"Where did Heita go?"

Tuoba Tao found his few companions and asked the family members beside him.

The family member respectfully stood with his hands tied: "Reporting to the young master, the old lady promised to let them choose a horse, so the two boys went to the horse farm in the back!"

"Oh?"

Tuoba Tao was interested: "Grandmother said these two little things are not bad; I have to go and see, don't let him lead my Li Dragon away..."

"Then the young master should go quickly." The family member said: "I heard Heita arguing all the way that he wanted to ride that Dragon Horse you caught back from the grassland."

"Possessing the 'Soldier' seal, if he lets go of that Dragon Horse, he wouldn't be worthy of being taken a fancy to by me!"

Qian Chen thought silently: "The 'Soldier' seal can evolve all laws into divine weapons, and it can also be planted in the bodies of other living beings to become one's own Dao soldiers. But this is just the most superficial application of this seal... This method is a glimpse I got when I saw the 'Soldier' stele of the Nine Nether Great Supreme Supreme Tian Mo, formed from the heart."

"It symbolizes severance, like a divine weapon severing all troubles, karma, karmic debt, and entanglement, like a achievement of Vajra!"

"It's a pity that although I obtained a part of the Nine-Character True Words from Ge Hong and completed a part of the Tantric sect, I only evolved the 'Soldier' character relatively completely."

"The 'Travel' seal probably needs the Kunlun Mirror to help me deduce it together... But my idea of wanting to get them for free has already been seen through by that group of spiritual treasures. Not only do they want to get me for free, but they also want me to pay one hundred thousand morality points... How is this possible!"

"Am I, Qian Chen, the kind of person who suffers this kind of loss?"

Qian Chen was also helpless in his heart; in the end, he had ruined his relationship with his spiritual treasure friends.

But Qian Chen believed that this absolutely had nothing to do with the fact that he had gotten them for free several times before...

It was near early autumn, and the north was gradually getting cold. Walking in Huairen Town, he could feel the chill that was gradually starting to sting his skin. Qian Chen followed Tuoba Tao to the horse farm in the city, looking down and seeing a crescent moon reflected in the wooden alms bowl in his hand.

"It's near the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

"Although they are not my true relatives, they are a piece of karma for my physical body and even my self-existence; I should let Li Er reunite with his family before the Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Qian Chen stared at the moon and decided to arrive in Chang'an before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

So let's solve everything early!

Huairen Market is a military city cast with Buddhist methods and cultivation power, so it covers a huge area and is equipped with various seals and the method of Mustard Seed Sumeru.

There are also three horse farms in the city.

The one in the northwest corner is almost for the private use of the Tuoba family...

Qian Chen went all the way and saw the surging military malevolent qi rising into the sky not far ahead, colored like iron and blood, carrying a power that destroyed all laws.

On the martial arts field beside it, the Huairen border army was performing martial arts, the sound of shouting carrying a rolling masculine malevolent qi.

Ordinary evil spirits that came slightly close, if they weren't broken by the malevolent qi rushing into the sky, would also have their souls scattered by these shouts!

"The four paths of the military family: Body, Weapon, Killing, and Formation..."

"The most basic is to temper the body. The bodies of the great mighty beings of the ancient military family are almost indestructible; even if their heads are cut off by others, they can continue to fight, and their divine souls are hidden deep inside, as if protected by precious armor. This is the body-refining achievement of the military path inheriting the ancient Witch path!"

"Witch is Martial! So military cultivators usually enter through martial arts..."

"It's just that a martial body is not enough; one must also forge weapons and armor. Weapons are divine weapons, different from magic treasures with diverse seals and fancy appearances. Divine weapons have always had only one purpose, and that is—killing! This also inherits the military path of the ancient gods and demons. Immortal Qin even incorporated the Dao of creation of the Profound Sect, developing them into terrifying things like war magic treasures and Luo Heaven Immortal tools!"

"Then there is the killing method! Martial arts!"

"From the martial arts passed down from the ancient gods and demons, inherited from the Witch path, to the military victory methods opened up by the Profound Sect after the New Heaven, and even the various killing methods and military strategies that the Demon Sect fused the two together, specifically for killing and the military family!"

"Finally, there is the formation. The way of military strategy is to gather and fight! Since the 'Wind Empress Grasping Machine Sutra', military formations that gather the strength of the crowd have begun to flourish!"

"Formations obtain the power of heaven and earth, while weapons combine with people. A truly united military formation is incredibly terrifying. If a hundred Primordial Spirits form a military formation, I have to avoid its edge!"

Qian Chen watched the rough yet precise military inheritance. It is rough in that every soldier does not seek life or longevity, only tempering their bodies and accumulating malevolent qi, relying on a breath of killing intent when going into battle, which makes them qualified disciples of the military family.

It is precise in terms of food, weapons, logistics, formations, and morale.

There are also cavalry, chariots, infantry, and archery...

The entire system is complex and vast, and the various principles contained in any one of them would be enough for a Core Formation True Person to immerse themselves in for a lifetime.

"The 'Soldier' seal is what I fused from the shape, qi, intent, and soul of the Great Supreme Supreme Tian Mo stele. Its charm has already obtained the supreme inheritance of the military family; it's just that it's still lacking in details. I hope Heita can give me a surprise and evolve the military inheritance contained within it!"

They walked to the horse farm and saw more than a dozen older children shouting endlessly.

"Heita! You cheated, don't even think about taking away the Li Dragon!" a dark-skinned Han boy riding a piebald horse scolded Yuwen Heita.

The Han, Xianbei, and Hu boys beside him clamored together: "That's right, let go of the Li Dragon!"

Yuwen Heita was riding a divine and handsome Dragon Horse. Qian Chen only needed one look to know that this horse possessed the bloodlines of a Heavenly Horse and a True Dragon, and its aptitude was no less than the White Deer he rode to Jiankang in the past.

Moreover, Heavenly Horses and True Dragons are both existences with strong bloodlines and amazing physiques, and their descendants are the most suitable for military cultivators to ride in battle.

No wonder Tuoba Tao was a bit reluctant to give this horse away!

Yuwen Heita grabbed the mane of the black horse with one hand and held a spiritual pearl under the jaw of the Li Dragon with the other. He seemed to have used all his strength to suppress the fierce horse under his crotch, gasping for breath as he looked at those Xianbei and Han boys who were besieging him...

Qian Chen saw clearly that Heita had already planted the 'Soldier' seal in the spiritual pearl under the jaw of the Li Dragon. At this time, it was like supreme pressure, suppressing this horse, but the Heavenly Horse was ultimately arrogant, and a bit of its spirit had not yet been suppressed.

And Yuwen Heita didn't seem to intend to purely subdue this fierce horse with divine abilities, but rather to fight and consume it by forcibly wrestling with the Li Dragon black horse with his own strength.

On the other hand, he gripped the mane tightly, using his forehead to press against the bone protruding like a dragon horn on the Li Dragon, passing his spirit and will to it.

At this time, it was already the late stage of the contest of wills between the two sides, and the horse had already begun to submit!

As long as its arrogance was worn down a bit more, it could be successfully subdued.

Tuoba Tao obviously saw this too, and went up with a dark face, scolding: "What are you doing? Being so lazy and slack, do you know that there is still military law in the army!"

"Military Lord! Heita learned some evil divine ability from somewhere and wants to subdue the Li Dragon!"

Po Po Liu Han, who was older than everyone else, complained first.

This black horse was something that countless soldiers in the army dreamed of; how could it be let to be ridden away by a hairy boy?

Yuwen Heita's hair was soaked with sweat, sticking tightly to his forehead. He gasped and said: "I... I subdued it with my own ability. The old lady promised me that as long as I can suppress it, I can take away any horse here!"

"Oh?" Tuoba Tao held his horse whip and said: "What about them saying you used divine abilities to cheat? You are just a child; can you really suppress a Heavenly Horse with physical strength?"

"Yes!"

The Han boy Zhao Gui accused: "Everyone saw you go to steal the dragon pearl of the Li Dragon, and then there was a golden light in your hand, which barely suppressed the Li Dragon. Who knows if you secretly used some vicious magic to make the Li Dragon's legs soft and weak, unable to struggle!"

Heita was angry, standing up from the Black Dragon Heavenly Horse, letting this fierce horse raise its front hooves.

And he stood up, sticking to the back of the black horse, waving his forearms and saying: "You all see... the Li Dragon is such a proud horse? If I used small tricks to harm it, why would it submit to me?"

"I just communicated with it through Buddhist law, adding my will to it. Could it be that you didn't have the soul that wanted to ride it! And thus suppressed it?"

"I cultivated Buddhist law myself, which is my ability. If you have the ability, don't use malevolent qi either!"

"Drink..."

The soldiers who were gradually surrounding and watching cheered.

Only then did everyone see that the black horse had been worn down of much of its restlessness and no longer resisted Heita riding on it.

According to the rules of the grassland, this was already the initial taming of this fierce horse!

And everyone was familiar with the nature of horses, knowing that this horse had Heavenly Horse and dragon bones and would never easily submit to other means, so some Xianbei boys whispered to each other: "According to the rules, Heita has indeed subdued this horse; he is a good man!"

Zhao Gui didn't buy this, waving his horse whip and saying: "I want to challenge you! Yuwen Heita..."

"Do you dare to have a cavalry battle with me!"

"Alright!"

Yuwen Heita did not avoid the battle at all.

Tuoba Tao frowned slightly and scolded: "Zhao Gui! Heita is much younger than you, and his body hasn't developed yet. Isn't it bullying to compare cavalry battles?"

"He cheated with divine abilities; isn't that bullying us?" Zhao Gui was unconvinced.

Heita, riding on the already tamed Li Dragon, pointed at those bad boys and cavalry, saying: "Besides Zhao Gui, who else? If you want to challenge, come together. Heita the Great will take you all on! If I frown, or am beaten by you, I will never have the face to ride the Li Dragon again!"

"Alright!"

The border soldiers who came down from the martial arts field all roared, excited and happy.

What the army admires most is ability; if your ability is not enough, you deserve to be bullied.

But as long as you show your spirit, even if you are defeated, you will be admired by everyone...

Looking into the depths of the desolate market, Tuoba Tao snorted: "You arranged for this monk, perhaps it was seen by the three religions and nine streams in the city. But the matter of us obtaining the golden cup, only the brothers themselves know."

"The team leader means, someone leaked the news to him?"

"Mostly the brothers themselves let it slip, hum! Go back and investigate, see whose mouth is not tight!"

Qian Chen sat in the shack, looking at that bowl of bitter water, where the golden lotus seed sprouted slightly at some point.

It seemed that when Qian Chen attained enlightenment on the Eight Sufferings and the demonic nature in his heart pulled out the Demonic Blade—Demand, the lotus seed quietly cracked a seam, and a pale yellow sprout poked out.

I don't know if it's a root or a sprout.

Everything that happened in Huaihuang Town naturally couldn't escape Qian Chen's Heavenly Eye Ability, Heart-to-Heart Connection, and other Six Divine Abilities.

The fact that Tuoba Tao could arrive in time just now was also because Qian Chen slightly involved karma, changing the direction of things.

But the blue stone statue encountered the evil monk.

Attracting the attention of the Mituo Temple for Tuoba Tao...

Qian Chen himself didn't know if he did it. If it wasn't him, the direction of all things, the flow of all karma would be pushed toward a great calamity.

If it was him, it was the moment the Demonic Blade of Demand unsheathed, gathering all karma toward that slash.

"So, what exactly am I demanding?"

"The Demonic Blade gathers karma because the Five Precepts suppressed the demonic nature, making the demonic nature instinctively resist, evolving this blade, in order to wield the blade to break the killing precept!"

"So it pushes the direction of all things toward that slash that I slash by heart."

"But the Demonic Blade points directly to my original heart, and one of the demands is what I instinctively demand in my heart. If I demand human nature, the story just now should have had many obstacles, letting human nature burst into brilliance."

"But I pushed it lightly, and things changed!"

"Could it be that what I demand is not human nature?"

The Demonic Blade of Demand is weird and incomparable. It is a slash that does not violate the original heart and can kill anyone.

Once this blade is slashed, no matter who it is, they will reveal the way to take their own death.

Letting Qian Chen kill them without violating his heart.

It is weird from the root, not only manipulating others' human nature, revealing the parts that contradict oneself, but even Qian Chen's own human nature seems to be secretly counter-controlled by the Demonic Blade.

Holding this blade, killing anyone is incomparably satisfying.
