It is a hot July with a gentle autumn breeze. The daytime is still scorching hot but the nights are much cooler.

As the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, the most famous city in the world, Shendu is divided into five layers, inner and outer. The core is the palace city, followed by the imperial city, then the inner city, outer city, and the houses built along the banks of the canal outside the city. If you look down from a high place, they are lined up in rows, and the various cities and towns are intertwined according to some indescribable rules, circle after circle, and finally converge in the imperial city.

Such a magnificent city naturally has a flow of people to match it. Even if it is not a market day, the streets are crowded with people, and there are always people resting under the trees to escape the heat.

Although the clothing of the people in Shendu was not significantly better than those in other cities in Jiangdong, and some were still dressed in rags, their spirits were better than those in Jiangdong. They lacked some literary air, but had more pride of being the capital of the country under the feet of the emperor.

Of course, the first thing Shang Yi did after his breakthrough was not to come here, but to appear directly next to Ruan Yushu in the Langya Ruan family and gave her a surprise!
After the two of them had been together in the Ruan family of Langya for a while, the mission of the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation came along, so Shang Yi and Ruan Yushu came to the Divine Capital together.

As for the Ruan family of Langya, they naturally would not refuse, nor did they worry that Ruan Yushu would be in any danger.

After all, Shang Yi was able to intimidate the world before, not to mention that he has now attained enlightenment and become a human immortal on earth?
Moreover, Ruan Yushu's grandfather also learned that after Shang Yi attained enlightenment, his Dharma body possessed the legendary characteristic of "being omnipresent". With Shang Yi's protection, even if multiple Dharma bodies appeared in the gods' capital, they could not harm Ruan Yushu who was under Shang Yi's protection.

Therefore, only Shang Yi and Ruan Yushu appeared in the capital, and no one else from the Ruan family accompanied them for protection.

On the other side, Prince Wei's Palace is located in Duozi Lane, close to the imperial city. There are few cars and horses coming and going, and it is not as lively as other princes' residences. There are many sycamore trees planted in the lane, and the road is shaded by the trees, making it quite quiet.

"Your Highness, where are we going?" The eunuch Hu Dou, who had very light eyebrows, lowered his shrill voice and asked his master, Prince of Wei Zhao Heng, who was dressed in ordinary people's clothes.

Since receiving a strange note in the afternoon, my master seemed uneasy. He avoided everyone and sneaked out of the house with me.

Although Zhao Heng was wearing a green robe and a small hat, he was still very confident. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked directly at the bright sunshine: "You will know when you wait."

His tone was calm and full of authority. Hu Dou immediately fell silent and didn't ask any more questions.

Although our prince is approachable and unrestrained in his daily life, when he really frowns, people can still understand what it means to be a dragon and a phoenix, and what it means to be naturally majestic.

This is the cunning of an emperor... Hu Dou thought aimlessly.

After leaving Duozi Lane, the two walked forward in silence until they reached the edge of the inner city, where good and bad people mixed together, Doujiadian.

Hu Dou lowered his head and eyes, no longer in his usual high tone. He ordered the waiter to prepare a wine table and wait for the prince to take a seat.

"Your Highness, are we waiting for someone here?" He asked for a clean towel and wiped the table himself, looking disgusted with the greasiness.

Zhao Heng didn't say anything. He looked around and saw all kinds of people, and it was a mess everywhere.

"The latest list of people is here!" There was a sudden noise outside.

A scholar, like the moon surrounded by stars, walked to the corner of the stairs on the second floor under the gaze of everyone, then opened the white paper in his hand and prepared to post it there.

"This bunch of country bastards already knew everything they should know about the changes in the human rankings..." Hu Dou looked around with contempt.

People nearby had already started talking about it. One person holding a folding fan shook his head and asked his friend:

"Do you think that the first place on the Human Ranking is still Crazy Blade?"

It is a characteristic of Shendu to use the word "you" when addressing acquaintances or friends, which appears to be particularly polite and courteous.

"Just open the list and you'll know!"

The man with the long sword in front of him nodded reservedly and cast his gaze on the white paper. He saw that the number one on the human list was still Mad Blade Su Meng.

"Now Fan Changmiao must be so depressed that he can't sleep, haha."

"Why is Fan Changmiao depressed?" The scholar holding a folding fan asked puzzledly, "Does he have an old grudge against Kuang Dao? That's not right. He was born and raised in the Divine Capital and has never traveled outside of Zhongzhou. It's impossible for him to have an old grudge against Kuang Dao..."

The man with the long sword in front of him kept it a secret and asked, "Can you think of his identity?"

"Today's top scorer in martial arts exam, and captain of the Six Gates with a silver badge, what's the problem with that?" The scholar became more and more confused.

"Haha, you don't know, Fan Changmiao is a very cunning man. He has been enduring for many years and suddenly exploded. Last year, he became the number one martial arts champion. He was the only young master who got the title of number one without being on the list. Now he is in high spirits and wants to enter the top ten." The man stroked the hilt of the sword and talked freely.

"This is something to be proud of and show off. Besides, Fan Changmiao has now risen to 15th on the human list." The scholar frowned.

What does this have to do with Crazy Blade?

"Originally, it was something to be proud of and show off. Even if some people questioned that the standard of the martial arts exam was too low and Fan Changmiao was unworthy of the title, with his current ranking on the human list, Fan Changmiao doesn't have to take it to heart." The man who stroked the hilt of the sword chuckled, "But Kuang Dao was also a martial arts student in the same department, but he ended up taking the title of number one and didn't even come. Everyone said that it was only because of his withdrawal that Fan Changmiao won the final victory, otherwise he would have been vulnerable..."

The scholar clapped his fan in his hands and said, "So that's it!"

"So the more successful Crazy Blade is, the more miserable and depressed Fan Changmiao becomes. Who can stand being the 'number one scholar who got a bargain'?"

"That's true. But even a master as arrogant as the Wolf King was killed by Crazy Blade. I'm afraid he doesn't even have the courage to face it!" The man put down the sword in his hand, took a big gulp of a glass, and looked very comfortable.

Hu Dou listened with great interest. It was the first time he heard of this kind of "grudge".

Just then, a servant came in and handed Zhao Heng a note.

Zhao Heng took a look, clenched his hand, and the note turned into ashes. Then he stood up and walked towards the store door.

"Hey, Wang, wait for me." Zhao Heng took a few steps, and Hu Dou came back to his senses and followed hurriedly.

After arriving outside the store, Zhao Heng turned several turns and finally arrived at a secluded alley.

"You wait here." Zhao Heng ordered in a deep voice.

Hu Dou whispered, "Your Majesty, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."

"You know my current strength, are you afraid that we won't be rescued?" Zhao Heng said seriously.

Hu Dou knew that the prince had made a secret breakthrough some time ago, so he took a deep breath and said, "Prince, be careful."

At the end of the alley, there is an abandoned house. A man in a green shirt is leaning lazily against a broken wall, holding a piece of grass in his mouth. The yard is overgrown with weeds, and the sunlight shines through the trees, casting golden spots.

"All major forces in the world are shocked by your ranking first on the human list. Countless people are discussing you, praising you, and targeting you. Including the Six Gates, there are countless forces looking for you. And you, on the other hand, are just sitting here basking in the sun and being lazy." Zhao Heng felt a little envious for no reason.

The man in green was Meng Qi. He traveled day and night and arrived at the Divine Capital in just one month and ten days.

He said leisurely: "What does this have to do with me? Even if the Six Gates have rewards, we need to know the specific content of the mission before deciding whether to reveal our identities. Hmm, they haven't come yet?"

"I guess it will take some time, especially since Sister Yushu is not alone like you." Zhao Heng replied.

In other words, you still need to wait for the task to start.

Meng Qi squinted at the sky and suddenly asked, "You made a breakthrough?"

Zhao Heng sighed: "I am not as ambitious as you and Miss Jiang. I don't want to reach the top overnight. I'd better take it step by step."

"Everyone has his own path, why do this? I may not be able to beat you now..." Meng Qi chuckled.

"My own path..." Zhao Heng was suddenly touched and said with emotion, "Xiao Meng, I really want to be like you, free and easy. The position of crown prince, the struggle of the royal family, and the situation of the world are too tiring and too heavy."

He felt that this mission in the capital might involve this, so he had been feeling quite stressed and unhappy for a while. Meng Qi glanced at him and said, "Are you really willing to give up the wealth and glory, the position of a prince surrounded by beautiful women? You may even become the crown prince in the future and ascend to the throne..."

Zhao Heng shook his head, lifted his coat, and sat down next to Meng Qi in such an ungraceful manner: "Only people outside would envy me. If there is a chance, I would rather switch places with you. You become the prince, and I become an idler in the mountains and a hero in the rivers and lakes."

Meng Qi turned around and looked at Zhao Heng with his eyes wide open, his gaze piercing: "Really?"

"What?" Zhao Heng was stunned.

"Really? Hahahaha, I've always wanted to be a prince, to enjoy the life of power, fine clothes, delicious food, and beauties all around me!" Meng Qi laughed loudly, looking very serious. "I will do it 80% of the time. I promise to become exactly like you. No one will be able to tell the difference!"

Zhao Heng didn't expect Meng Qi to take advantage of the situation. He was confused and at a loss, and subconsciously said, "I was joking."

"I knew you wouldn't be willing to give up these things." Meng Qi lay down again, leaning against the broken wall, feeling bored.

Zhao Heng was slightly dazed, thinking to himself, Xiao Meng was just like what they said, some intermittent brain seizure...

However, after being interrupted by Meng Qi, his previous depressed and repressed mood was relieved a lot. He smiled and shook his head, stood up, flicked his collar, and prepared to leave.

"How are you? Are you feeling better?" At this moment, Meng Qi, who seemed to be asleep, suddenly spoke.

Zhao Heng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Meng Qi, only to see his head dimly visible in the shadow of the broken wall, with only his mouth biting the grass stem and his lower jaw clearly visible, with a layer of light green stubble on them.

"You..." Zhao Heng was suddenly moved.

Meng Qi still looked up at the green tree: "When you feel better, help me check on these two people."

"One is called Yang Wuliang, half a step outside the realm, he should have joined the service of King Jin."

This is Xianji's mission in the capital of gods, to avenge a reserve member who killed his father, Yang Wuliang.

Zhao Heng nodded gently: "What else?"

"Gu Changqing..." Meng Qi sighed slightly.

In just over three years, this name has become so unfamiliar. How many people and things have changed over the years...

In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the forbidden area of ​​Cao family in Peijing, Dixian Lake.

A figure gradually emerged in the void, wearing a wide robe with large sleeves and a deep aura. The most eye-catching thing was the mask on his face.

That is a mask that often appears in mythological dramas...the mask of the Emperor of Heaven!
"'The Dao spreads across the universe'..."

Shang Yi looked into the depths of the Dixian Lake, looking for the location of the secret residence of the Black Emperor Zhenwu. He wanted to take away the treasures inside!
After bringing Ruan Yushu to the Divine Capital and giving her his Dharmakaya token, Shang Yi left an identity in the Divine Capital to accompany Ruan Yushu, and his real body descended directly here.

With the legendary feature of "omnipresent", Shang Yi's divine feet ability became even more mysterious, and no one could notice that Shang Yi appeared here quietly.

Of course, to do such a thing of robbery, he could not use his true self, so he activated the ability of the 'Pure and Free Dharmakaya' to change his own Qi and frame Han Guang.

"'Myth' Emperor of Heaven!"

When the guards of the forbidden area saw him, they immediately became alert and used their means to secretly summon help.

Myths and fairy tales.

They are two extremely mysterious organizations in the world. The former wears masks of various gods in heaven when acting. The members are powerful and all have the level of field scenes.

The same is true for the latter, but the masks they wear are derived from the many immortals in Taoist legends.

Peijing Cao's family is one of the fourteen aristocratic families in the world. There are many masters of field scenes and top experts in the family. Of course, they have a deep understanding of the two mysterious organizations.

Although the guard of the Cao family is a famous master of outdoor scenes on the Earth List, he did not dare to be careless when facing the Lord of Mythology, the legendary Emperor of Heaven. He activated the secret method at the first moment and asked the Cao family members who were accompanying him in the capital to send help.

Shang Yi wore a wide robe with big sleeves, and his eyes were dark under the mask of the Emperor of Heaven. He ignored the Grand Master of Cao family and looked towards the forbidden area of ​​Cao family.

In the center of the Dixian Lake is an island of floating ice with icy flames rising from it. It has always been the place where Cao's disciples refine weapons. Even most of Cao's precious weapons were refined here. Not to mention other magical features, this point alone is extremely important.

Seeing that the 'Mythical Emperor' remained silent, Grandmaster Cao felt relieved. He also did not want to intensify the conflict and provoke the other party to take action.

When the clan receives the message, a master will definitely come with the clan's magical weapon. In addition, the other guardian in the forbidden area has already communicated with the remains of the earthly immortal. By then, the magical weapon and the remains of the earthly immortal will work together, and no matter which Dharma body in the world comes here, it will be in trouble.

“The Deepest Point in Iceland…”

Shang Yi saw through the protective formation. Everything between heaven and earth seemed illusory and transparent, and matter could no longer block his sight.

He saw a mature and beautiful female master communicating with a terrestrial immortal's remains in the core of Iceland, intending to use this terrestrial immortal's remains surrounded by ice crystals to stop him.

Not far away, there is the remains of another earthly immortal, filled with purple lightning. Even though it has fallen for eternity, it still has a kind of majesty.

Following the winding ice layer downwards, Shang Yi saw the bottom layer of Iceland, where there was a magic array that had been eroded by time and was unrecognizable, but it still had the ability to form its own world.

The Zhenwu Mansion is located in that piece of heaven and earth, and inside it is the tree of the Great Dao that carries the Tao throughout the universe.

"Myth, how dare you trespass into my Cao family's forbidden area!"

An angry roar was heard from afar, and purple thunder formed a sea, covering the sky above the Earth Immortal Lake.

The current head of the Cao family has arrived with the clan's magic weapon, the 'Purple Lightning Jade Ruler'!

boom!
A mighty aura suddenly erupted in Iceland. The laws between heaven and earth changed. Crystal snowflakes fell from the sky covered by the sea of ​​thunder. The temperature dropped dramatically in an instant. Cold winds blew across the Dixian Lake, freezing the lake surface inch by inch!

The light between heaven and earth was bright, and a deep purple and a faint blue stream of light combined together, eventually revealing a Taoist dressed in medieval clothes, surrounded by icy light, holding a crackling purple jade ruler, and looking at Shang Yi in the air from a distance.

The eyes of the earthly immortal's remains were empty, but deep inside them was a gleam of light, which was the thought of that mature beauty.

"The remains of the Dharmakaya that is connected to the Way of Ice Crystal, even though it is the body of an Earthly Immortal, cannot contend with any Human Immortal. Even though it has a divine weapon in hand, how can it exert its maximum power if its attributes are incompatible?"

The eyes beneath the Emperor's mask deliberately revealed a hint of sarcasm, and his arrogance was hidden deep inside.

Several powerful men of the Cao family saw it clearly, and they were all filled with nameless anger. The Cao family has a deep foundation. Although no Dharma body has been born in the contemporary world, they have divine weapons to suppress it and the remains of earthly immortals. They are still one of the most powerful forces in the world. How can they allow outsiders to treat them with such disrespect?
The purple lightning jade ruler points to the sky, and the remains of the earthly immortal stimulate the power of this magical weapon.

Boom!

The sea of ​​thunder rolled and the thunder roared. At this moment, it was as if God was angry. Thunders crossed the sky and illuminated the dark sky. The common people in the capital, who were far away, trembled at this moment, shocked by the power of the Dharma body that could easily affect an area of ​​thousands of miles.

Click!

Purple lightning struck, the sky was struck by lightning, and the thunder that should have been extremely hot was now filled with chilly coldness, even the void was vaguely frozen, as if it was not thunder that was striking, but the mysterious light of ice soul manifested in the form of thunder.

Shang Yi was neither happy nor sad. He stretched out a gloved hand from his sleeves and gently clenched it with one hand, as if he was grasping something in the air.

The brilliant purple and blue colors of the world gradually faded away, time became abnormal, the moment when the purple lightning struck was stretched out, and the thinking of several powerful men became dull. (End of this chapter)
