When people talk about gods, they see who ascends to heaven. It's not that the immortal family is all vain, it's never hard to have a strong Taoist heart.
It was the seventh year of the Great Era, and now it is the Mid-Autumn Festival again. It has been a year since Li Daoyi went into seclusion. During this year, many things happened in the Sui Dynasty. First, the imperial court issued national bonds, and the entire country was divided between the Song clan and the Yuwen clan. Under the leadership of the Dugu clan, there was a craze, and the first batch of 50 million bonds between the two countries was purchased in just half a month.
At this point, Yang Guang finally understood what it means to hide wealth among the people.
The second was to attack Goguryeo and Tuguhun. Due to the unexpected smoothness of the national debt issuance, Yang Guang was full of confidence and deployed troops in two places. The 180,000 troops were led by the patron king Yang Lin, Momen, Yu Wenhuaji, and Tang Guogong Li Yuan. Attack Goguryeo.
The 180,000-strong army led by Yang Guang, Song Que, and Dugu Feng attacked Tuyuhun in the Western Region. Although the battle in the two places was risky, it also proved the national strength of the Sui Dynasty at this time. It took three months, only three months, before the weather completely cooled down. The battle ended before that, not counting the fact that most of the time was spent on the march.
At the beginning of the seventh year of Daye, two armies returned to the court with countless supplies. On that day, the whole Sui Dynasty was in a state of excitement. The first thing Yang Guang did when he returned to Beijing was to enter the Ji Temple to complain to his ancestors to show his merits.
More than half a year has passed by now, and the Sui Dynasty has entered a period of strong development. The interest on the first batch of national debt has been paid, and people's trust in the court has doubled. Countless people have extended the promissory note of the Chinese debt, and even hope that the court will reissue national debt. , and those who did not buy while waiting and watching regretted it. Among them, Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Dynasty, was the most serious.
Daxing Palace, the royal back hill, is heavily guarded here. Without the emperor's warrant, anyone who comes close will be killed on the spot.
However, at this time, a child was riding a small black beast and was playing happily in the mountains behind. The soldiers guarding him turned a blind eye to him, because he was cute and the most noble child in the world.
And two figures, one red and one white, were also nearby, it was Dongfang and Xiao Longnu.
"Daoyi said that the longest time would be half a year, but I didn't expect that a year would have passed." Dongfang Bubai sighed lightly.
"Brother said that there is no time to cultivate immortality. It is common for some people to stay in seclusion for decades and hundreds of years." Xiao Longnu said softly.
"Oh, I know, I'm just afraid that he will be like this too." Dongfang Bubai said worriedly.
"Probably not."
"Eh?"
At this time, Mengmeng, who was playing in front, suddenly stopped and looked up into the air.
At this moment, the two women also noticed something strange, and saw a five-color glow suddenly appear in the sky.
"boom…"
Immediately afterwards, a beam of light soared into the sky from Li Daoyi's retreat, and the first part disappeared into the sky, instantly dispersing the white clouds in the sky.
"Daoyi." Dongfang Bubai said happily.
This scene naturally shocked the entire capital. People looked to the sky one after another. Some people were already kneeling on the ground and bowing to the sky.
The beam of light slowly disappeared, and a huge figure appeared in the sky, floating quietly in the sky like a god.
This person is none other than Li Daoyi, who has broken through the Nascent Soul, and the huge figure in the sky is his magical power to use the heaven and earth.
Li Daoyi floated quietly in the sky, his eyes looking up at the sky, as if looking through the endless void to a distant place.
Then he closed his eyes, and the baby-like soul in his body suddenly left his body.
At this moment, the soul seemed to be constantly rising upwards. He could feel that the scenery below was gradually getting smaller. Slowly, he seemed to touch some kind of power. The surrounding space became still. The stars, the sun, the moon, and the universe were all moving. Everything stopped functioning at this moment.
That inexplicable energy slowly merged into the soul. I don’t know how long it has passed, a year? ten years? a hundred years? Or ten thousand years!
Finally, the soul returned to the body again. Li Daoyi opened his eyes, and a trace of vicissitudes of life flashed through his eyes inadvertently. It seemed that a long time had passed, but in fact it was just the process of closing his eyes and opening them again.
"Time?" Li Daoyi murmured.
Just now, he actually understood one of the most difficult laws among the laws of the heavens, time. Although it is only superficial, it is already extremely terrifying.
Li Daoyi started to check the system information.
"Congratulations to the host for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage. Since the host's apprentice Yang Guo broke through the foundation building, the host automatically promoted a small realm, and the host's cultivation reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul."
"Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward and randomly comprehending a primary magical law."
"Congratulations to the host for understanding the primary magical power of time, the power of time."
"The power of time (supreme magical power) can deprive the other party of life span according to one's own cultivation level and give it to others. In the middle stage of Nascent Soul, the upper limit of deprivation is two hundred and fifty years."
"Hiss, so silly..." Li Daoyi took a breath.
Being deprived of two hundred and fifty years of life may not seem like much, but in the mortal world it is equivalent to pronouncing a person's death sentence for the first time. Even if he is a great master, unless he is like Xiang Yutian, he may still have a few years left.
"Have the points exceeded 10 million?" Li Daoyi looked at the points again. After a year of seclusion, the points were rising every day. As long as his legend spreads in the world, the points will almost never stop, but the number will be very small. And the rate of increase will also slow down. Now he has eleven million points.
"Alas…"
The little guy Mengmeng suddenly cheered, jumped up from Xiao Hei's back, and flew towards the huge figure in the sky.
Sensing Mengmeng, Li Daoyi withdrew the magical power of Fa Tian Xiang Di, and his body slowly shrank, returning to its original size after a while.
At this time, Mengmeng also jumped towards Li Daoyi happily.
"Brother Taoist priest." The little guy hugged Li Daoyi's neck tightly and rubbed his little head against his chin. It was very cute.
"Good boy, when did you wake up?" Li Daoyi asked, stroking the cute little head lovingly.
"I woke up half a year ago!" Mengmeng replied.
Li Daoyi lifted Mengmeng up and observed it carefully.
"Still the same as before, not grown up at all." Li Daoyi frowned.
Mengmeng still looks like a three-year-old girl, unchanged at all. Of course, he can't tell what the other party's current strength is. The child is still mysterious.
"Giggle, giggle...it's still early for people to grow up, it's early." The little girl smiled.
"Well, if you don't grow up, you won't grow up. That's fine, as long as you are happy every day."
"By the way, after sleeping for half a year, have you seen any changes?" Li Daoyi asked.
"Well..." Mengmeng held her fingers in her mouth and started thinking.
"I seem to have remembered something, but I can't tell clearly. Hehe, I have one more thing!" Mengmeng said suddenly like a show off.
"Oh? What ability?" Li Daoyi was a little curious. Could it be that this child also realized some magical power like himself.
"Hehe...look."
"Pa bang..."
The little girl stretched out her chubby hand and patted it gently.
Li Daoyi felt that the surrounding scenery had changed, and he came to his senses. He had reached the ground, and in front of him were Dongfang Bubai and Xiao Longnu.
"Space teleportation." Li Daoyi said in surprise.
"Yes!" Mengmeng said, raising her head.
"This is a big surprise for you." Li Daoyi exclaimed. He has understood the law of time, and the little girl has the magical power of space. How can people not be shocked.
“Doichi.”
"elder brother."
The two women came over.
"Well, I made you worry. I didn't expect it to take a year." Li Daoyi said.
"You're not slow!" After speaking, Li Dao looked into the distance and saw a group of people rushing towards the back mountain. It was Yang Guang and the others.
"Hahaha, Immortal, you are finally out of trouble." Yang Guang's voice came from all the way, full of energy. It was obvious that he was much more confident at this time than before.
Soon, Yang Guang, Song Que, Shi Zhixuan, and surprisingly Zhu Yuyan and Hanhan were also there. The group came to Li Daoyi and bowed.
"Welcome the immortal to come out of seclusion."
"Yeah." Li Dao nodded.
"How are you doing recently? Tell me." Li Daoyi asked.
Yang Guang and others quickly told what happened this year.
"Well, it's not bad, but don't be proud."
"yes."
"Immortal, I have something to report." Zhu Yuyan said at this time.
"What's the matter?"
"Cihang Jingzhai."
Zhu Yuyan said.
Li Daoyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and Song Que's expression suddenly became unnatural.
"I almost forgot about them." Li Daoyi said.
"Immortal, Cihang Jingzhai has not done what you asked, and has even gotten very close to the Guanlong Li family recently." After Zhu Yuyan finished speaking, she glanced at Yang Guang.
You must know that on the day of the Battle of Luoyang, Fan Qinghui angered Li Daoyi, and he ordered him to disperse all his belongings within three months, devote himself to practicing Buddhism, and not enter the world.
"Immortal, calm down, I have already sent a letter to Tang Guogong, telling him to stay away from these nuns." Yang Guang said quickly.
"Li Clan went too far." Shi Zhixuan said coldly.
"Immortal, I am willing to go to Fan Qinghui personally and ask him to fulfill the Immortal's request." Song Que stood up and said with his hands raised, he still couldn't bear it.
"Song Que, you disappoint me very much. If this continues, you will never be able to understand the ninth sword." Li Daoyi shook his head and sighed.
Song Que was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, Mengmeng suddenly leaned into Li Daoyi's ear and whispered.
"Brother, let me tell you, someone is coming down from above."
"Above?" Li Daoyi looked at Mengmeng, a little confused.
"Oh, it's the place where the old man went that night. I saw someone coming down from that space." Mengmeng said.
"Xianmen." Li Daoyi reacted. Mengmeng is talking about the world after Xiang Yutian ascends.
"I understand." Li Dao figured it out in an instant.
"No wonder Fan Qinghui is so bold. It seems he has a backer."
"Backer? What does the Immortal mean by this? Isn't the Li clan nothing to worry about?" Yang Guang was a little confused.
"Li Clan? Huh, they are not worthy yet. What I mean is that in the upper world, which is the world after the Shattered Void as you know it, someone came from that world. If my prediction is correct, they came into contact with Cihang Jingzhai. "Yes." Li Daoyi said coldly.
"What?" Everyone present was shocked.
The three great masters present looked at each other in disbelief, and their hearts were filled with excitement. Someone actually came from the world after the Shattered Void.
