When the World Is Surprised

Chapter 413: The World is Shocked

Capital city, Imperial Master’s Mansion.

Mr. Fu hurried in to report: "Master, His Majesty is here to visit!"

State Master Yankang stood up to greet them. The two heroes of Yankang State gathered together, and Ling Yuxiu also followed beside them. Emperor Yanfeng looked at the state master deeply. State Master Yankang understood and waved his hand to let Fu Lao leave.

"Your Majesty has just arrived in the capital, and he came directly to me before entering the palace. Something big must have happened."

Imperial Preceptor Yankang showed a questioning look, his eyes fell on Ling Yuxiu, and said, "There are only three of us here, Your Majesty, you can speak now."

"Did the Imperial Master feel it?"

Emperor Yanfeng said: "Five days ago, there was a disturbance between heaven and earth."

Imperial Master Yankang nodded: "It's a very wonderful fluctuation. The law has changed, the way has changed, the great way of heaven and earth has changed. Someone is changing the law. It touched me deeply."

Emperor Yanfeng took out the chapter on men and women from the Yuanshen Yin and handed it to him: "Teacher, take a look."

Imperial Master Yankang read through it carefully, his expression becoming more and more solemn. After a long while, he closed the book and said, "The handwriting is from the princess and Patriarch Qin. The Liuhe Reform changed the Seven Stars, the Heaven and Man, Life and Death, and the Divine Bridge. No wonder there was such a big commotion. Princess Xiu is very good, and her future achievements will not be inferior to you and me."

He was extremely intelligent. He knew that it was Qin Mu and Ling Yuxiu's doing without Emperor Yanfeng pointing it out, and he guessed what consequences the emergence of this set of soul-inducing techniques would bring.

Emperor Yanfeng nodded and said, "The source of the reform is these two volumes. I came to see you without stopping because the situation is serious. The impact is still very slight at the moment, and it cannot be felt by a Grand Master who has not entered the law from the art. However, for a being who has entered the Tao from the law, the impact is even greater. You just said that you were deeply moved. It seems that you have entered the Tao before me."

National Master Yankang said: "I have only been in the Dao for a short time, so I am not clear about it yet, but the fluctuations are like waves coming from all directions, and I stand in the waves and feel the subtle changes in the Dao of heaven and earth."

Emperor Yanfeng savored the meaning of his words and praised: "The Dao Realm is truly amazing. It has had a great influence on you, so how about the influence on the gods?"

“It will only get bigger!”

Imperial Preceptor Yankang's eyes showed a gleam of unknown meaning, and he said, "Your Majesty has not been in the capital these few days, and memorials from all over the country have been flying in like snowflakes. Your Majesty, please take a look."

He took out dozens of memorials, which were from county magistrates and prefects from various places.

Emperor Yanfeng opened it and saw that the magistrate of Qining County had reported that an earthquake had occurred at the Qiyue Temple in Qining County. No other places felt the tremor, but the temple collapsed, killing more than a dozen believers.

When the Qining County Magistrate and a group of yamen runners were clearing the rubble, they saw that the mountain temple had cracked open, with a large fissure appearing. In the crack was a giant statue, with half of its body exposed, and flesh and blood could be vaguely seen, with runes all over its body.

Emperor Yanfeng frowned slightly, thought for a while, handed the memorial to Ling Yuxiu, and picked up another memorial himself.

This memorial was submitted by the prefect of Quzhou Prefecture, saying that something strange had happened in the Daqu Lake of Quzhou Prefecture. At midnight, a strange light rose from the lake and filled the lake. A huge creature with eyes like lanterns rose from the lake and claimed to be the Lord of Quhu Lake. He demanded that people on the shore pay tribute to him as boys and girls for food. The prefect ordered the yamen runners to investigate the lake, but found that several supernatural beings had died.

Emperor Yanfeng frowned and flipped through other memorials, which were all reports from officials of strange events in various prefectures, counties and districts. Some were about temples breaking apart, revealing extremely ancient statues of gods, which caused the original statues to collapse. Some were about rivers shaking, with statues of gods appearing at the bottom of the river. The statues either remained motionless or spoke, asking the local residents to pay tribute, which was very strange.

There were also some places where strange lights appeared and strange treasures appeared, but no one could take them away.

"We don't have these gods in Yankang."

Ling Yuxiu read the memorial, put it down, and thought: "Where did these stone statues of gods come from? There is no way they came out from underground. Some of the treasures in these memorials don't look like they were left over from ancient times. They look like treasures of gods."

“It’s not from underground.”

Emperor Yanfeng said: "If they had originally existed underground, they would have been discovered long ago. These stone statues and treasures must have come from another world."

“There should be more than one world.”

Yankang State Master said in a deep voice: "There are similar stone statues in Daxu. It is rumored that the stone statues are fossilized bodies of gods. These gods are sleeping and waiting for the right time to transform into their true bodies. If these stone statues of my Yankang State are from other worlds, then the timing of their arrival is very strange."

"The princess and Patriarch Qin created the Soul Guide, and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth changed. Then, many stone statues and rare treasures appeared all over the country. There must be a connection between them."

Emperor Yanfeng said: "Grandmaster, we must investigate the origin and purpose of these stone statues."

State Master Yankang said calmly, "I remembered the arrival of the Dutian Demon King two years ago. The arrival of the Dutian Demon King at that time relied on the sacrifice of Patriarch Qin, and an altar was needed to summon the Dutian Demon King from another world. Moreover, the Dutian Demon King who appeared in Yankang was only a consciousness and a part of his power. His real body needed to cause more deaths and more blood and flesh sacrifices before he could descend to Yankang."

Emperor Yanfeng and Ling Yuxiu listened quietly without interrupting. What Imperial Master Yankang wanted to say was extremely important and they could not afford to be careless.

"This shows that traveling through different worlds requires enormous amounts of energy. The stronger the being, the more energy it needs to travel through another world."

Imperial Master Yankang continued, "And this time the great way of heaven and earth has changed again. The stone statues of these gods are coming. They should just send their own stone statues over, but their power is not yet able to come. They still need countless blood and flesh sacrifices before they can come in person."

Emperor Yanfeng and Ling Yuxiu's hearts moved slightly, and suddenly a terrible idea came to their mind. Yankang State Master had already expressed their idea for them: "They need a natural disaster that causes large-scale deaths of the common people before they can really descend to Yankang!"

Emperor Yanfeng and Ling Yuxiu were horrified.

The last natural disaster caused the deaths of countless civilians, and the vitality of Yankang State has not yet recovered. If another natural disaster occurs, the country will surely be destroyed, and countless lives will be lost!

"According to my guess, it won't be long before the gods in heaven get the news and come to me to bring disaster."

Imperial Master Yankang said in a deep voice: "This natural disaster will certainly be no less severe than the last snowstorm. It could be an earthquake, a volcano, a tornado, a flood, a snowstorm, or a drought. As long as it can kill tens of millions of ordinary people, it's possible!"

Emperor Yanfeng said in a hoarse voice: "You mean..."

"Destroy God."

State Master Yankang said calmly: "We need to destroy the gods of heaven and prevent them from bringing disasters. If my guess is correct, the gods and demons responsible for bringing disasters in this world are heaven. If heaven is eliminated, the stone statues across the country will not be able to become gods and demons, and the common people will be spared from death. We need to take the initiative and eradicate all the gods in heaven!"

Emperor Yanfeng felt a splitting headache. He held his forehead and gritted his teeth and said, "God is in the West. There are countless gods and demons in it. How can we have the strength to destroy God? If we can wait a few more years, many masters will fill the divine bridge and cultivate to the divine realm..."

Imperial Preceptor Yankang looked calm and said, "Your Majesty, they won't give you that much time. If I'm not mistaken, the treasures mentioned in these memorials should be celestial weapons!"

Emperor Yanfeng and Ling Yuxiu were horrified.

Celestial weapons are a concept proposed by Qin Mu. He uses celestial phenomena as weapons, such as rain, snow, wind, hail, tornadoes, floods, volcanoes and earthquakes. He collects these celestial phenomena in a gourd and uses them to make the weather favorable in normal times.

If you attack an enemy country, you can even use celestial weapons to kill the enemy.

The last time Yankang Imperial Master attacked the grassland, Bangongcuo ordered the witch to spread poison everywhere, so that the voodoo would spread all over the grassland. Yankang Imperial Master wanted to get rid of the voodoo and save the herders on the grassland, so he used celestial weapons to make it rain for ten days to dilute, wash away, and flush away the voodoo.

However, many grassland herdsmen were drowned in the rain and mountain torrents at that time, and many people died. Yankang Guoshi was impeached and attacked by the Qingliu, causing trouble.

If Master Yankang guessed correctly, and those gods and demons' treasures unearthed this time are all celestial weapons, we only need to wait for the gods in heaven to arrive, and then we can unleash the power of these treasures, releasing all kinds of celestial phenomena, causing countless casualties among the people of Yankang!

With so many people dead, those stone statues will get enough flesh and blood for sacrifice, allowing the power of gods and demons to rush in like a long river. The stone statues will turn into gods and demons, start a killing spree, and destroy the world!

"I will immediately issue an order to have these statues and treasures strictly guarded. We cannot let these things fall into the hands of God!"

Emperor Yanfeng's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He paced back and forth, and said in a hoarse voice: "We must not be found by them... Why do we have to do this? Can't we allow the people of the world to live a better life? I don't understand!"

"Reform affects the interests of gods and demons. Reform is changing the way. If the way changes, gods and demons will not be tolerated by the way if they cannot follow it."

Imperial Preceptor Yankang said, "There must be a deeper reason behind this, but we have too little information to analyze the truth. Your Majesty, I need the Emperor to come forward in person."

Emperor Yanfeng looked at him.

Imperial Master Yankang looked into the distance and murmured, "Only if the Human Emperor comes forward in person can all the holy places and all the powerful people obey his orders and destroy Heaven! Only the Human Emperor respected by all sects and schools can make them follow him wholeheartedly!"

Ling Yuxiu was confused. Isn’t the contemporary Human Emperor Qin Mu?

The Human Emperor Seal is not in Qin Mu’s hands!

In this case, doesn’t it mean that Qin Mu must also attack Shangcang?

"I'm going to see the Human Emperor!" National Master Yankang stood up and left.

At this time, Qin Mu accompanied Si Yunxiang in the villa to cultivate their souls. The two of them traveled around the world with their souls. When they came to a place, they suddenly saw mountains collapse and the ground crack. A beautiful mountain in an unknown place was suddenly stretched and cracked, and a huge stone statue rose slowly from the mountain.

"What's going on? Is this Daxu?"

The two were surprised, and suddenly they smelled a fragrance, and they were shocked: "We just lit the soul-guiding incense to play, it is impossible for it to burn out so quickly, someone must have blown the soul-guiding incense to the bottom in one breath!"

The souls of the two were quickly called back by the soul-guiding incense and returned to their bodies. Qin Mu opened his eyes and saw that the village chief, the butcher, the mute and others were all there, even Master Ma was there!
