Chapter 218 Heaven-Shattering Earth-Striking Technique
Li Shu's Face was full of fury as he looked at the middle-aged scholar and said, "Mr. Lü, you have the most ideas. Think of a way! I must vent this frustration for this Prince!"
Lü Si frowned slightly.
Actually, he did not advise provoking such a formidable enemy as Yan Chu at this time. In the midst of the struggle for the throne, it was not appropriate to create extra complications.
After all, Yan Chu was different now.
The other party was now ranked second on the Earth Ranking; an ordinary Supreme Grandmaster going over would just be delivering his head.
Two of his subordinates, Eunuch Qiu and Liu Sheng, were both at the Peak of the Ninth Realm, yet they both died at the other party's hands, which was a huge loss for the Prince's Mansion.
However, looking at the First Prince's expression, he would not stop until he acted.
After pondering for a moment, Lü Si suddenly remembered something and suggested, "I heard that Yan Chu had been getting cozy with Zhao Jiyao, the legitimate daughter of the Zhao Family from Six Doors. When they were in Cangzhou Prefecture, they were seen together more than once. It seems Yan Chu boarded the Zhao Family Miss's carriage without buying a ticket."
"That Zhao Jiyao is engaged to Han Yue, the legitimate son of the Han Family. Han Yue has long admired Zhao Jiyao; if he finds out about this news, won't he be so angry that his lungs explode?"
Li Shu's eyes lit up immediately.
"Mr. Lü means to borrow a knife to kill?"
"Exactly!" Lü Si nodded and chuckled.
"I know Han Yue. This person is extremely petty. If he learns of this matter, he will absolutely not let it rest!"
"He is merely a Grandmaster, so he naturally cannot go to find Yan Chu for revenge himself. He will inevitably go to beg the Old Ancestor, Han Tianzong."
"Han Tianzong dotes on this great-grandson extremely much. He might even make an exception and take action for him. In this way, you can vent your frustration, Prince, and weaken the Empress Dowager's faction. Why not do it?"
A smile gradually deepened on Li Shu's Face as he clapped his hands and laughed.
"Good! Then I will trouble Mr. Lü to go and explain this to Han Yue. I believe that with your methods, the other party will definitely be unable to restrain himself!"
"If you can really get rid of the Blade Demon, this Prince will reward you heavily!"
...
Yan Chu had stayed in Tongzhou Prefecture for five days.
Currently, the Prefectural Governor's Mansion was being rebuilt, and he had been staying in the She Family's guest courtyard.
After staying for five full days, he left Tongzhou Prefecture.
On a tall building in the She Family's guest courtyard, She Zhijiu stood with his hands behind his back, his Face turning livid with anger as he watched Yan Chu's departing figure.
Thinking of the cries from his daughter and Zheng Wan that hadn't stopped for the past few days, his heart was dripping with blood...
After leaving Tongzhou Prefecture, Yan Chu unfolded his Unrestrained Ascension Step, shrinking the ground into inches as he headed towards Cangzhou Prefecture. In the blink of an eye, he crossed over a thousand miles and arrived at the banks of the Panshan River.
He summoned the panel.
【 host: Yan Chu 】
【 Cultivation: Peak of the Ninth Realm, Mountain Shaking 】
【 Cultivation Technique: Indestructible Vajra Divine Art (Ninth Layer 526385 / 900000) Heaven-Changing Earth-Striking Great Art (Mental Energy in the subtle realm 776521 / 1200000) 】
【 Martial Skill: Immortal Flying from Beyond the Heavens (Minor Achievement 2239 / 7000) 】
【 Experience Points: 200000 】
Looking at the concise panel, Yan Chu breathed a sigh of relief.
He focused his attention on the Heaven-Changing Earth-Striking Great Art.
After this Cultivation Technique was revealed, it merged with the mental method from the original Three Points Returning to Origin Qi, reaching the level of the subtle realm.
According to the System's explanation of this mental Cultivation Technique, it is divided into four levels (the original work did not have this division, the author made it up).
The first level is the subtle realm.
The so-called subtle realm is the Realm where Yan Chu currently resides. With the power of his Primordial Spirit, he can control the celestial phenomena within a radius of over ten miles, instantly causing those with a lower Realm than him to fall into mental illusions.
The second level is the Sea of Consciousness Domain.
After reaching this level, one can open the Mental Divine Treasury and become a Celestial Being Expert with a Primordial Spirit Domain.
The third level is the Master of Reincarnation.
Of course, this is not truly mastering Reincarnation, but being able to use mental power to pull opponents of the same Realm into the Reincarnation of thousands of lives, crossing time and space to conduct a Primordial Spirit duel with the opponent, thereby defeating them.
The fourth level is the Shattering Vajra.
After the great battle between Basiba and Chuan Ying, he returned to the Potala Palace, touched the ground with one finger, and smiled as he ascended, completing the mental transcendence. This is that Realm.
As a Cultivation Technique deeply rooted in the mental level, the Heaven-Changing Earth-Striking Great Art is likely at the top level in this world regarding the use of mental power.
However, it can only be used to Cultivate Mental Energy and achieve mental Ascension; Yan Chu would definitely not take it as his main Cultivation Technique.
But he could use it to open the Mental Divine Treasury and enter the Heavenly Human Realm a day earlier.
Martial Dao cultivation is a process of constantly excavating the potential of the human body.
According to the division of Martial Dao levels, the name of the Heavenly Human Realm is actually called the Divine Treasury Realm.
In this Realm, one needs to open the Physical Body Divine Treasury, the Qi Sea Divine Treasury, and the Mental Divine Treasury. After reaching Great Perfection, one can condense the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown.
Therefore, experts with a complete Divine Treasury are also known as Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown.
From the information obtained from the Wind Listening Pavilion, there are no more than five experts in the entire world who have reached the level of Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown. They spend their days in deep seclusion, bitterly pondering the method of shattering, and do not walk in the mortal world at all.
Most Celestial Being Experts have only opened a single Divine Treasury; those who can open two Divine Treasuries at the same time are extremely rare.
This is because, in the world today, the resources available for Celestial Being Experts to Cultivate have become very scarce. Even if they appear, most are located in blessed lands and are held by the top forces in the world.
If Yan Chu opens the Mental Divine Treasury, he would be considered a notable expert in the entire world.
Even if he goes deep into Southern Wei, crosses Northern Mang, or sets foot in the Western Regions, he can roam freely without worry.
"Add all experience points to the Heaven-Changing Earth-Striking Great Art!"
Boom!
As the experience points were cleared, Yan Chu felt a sharp pain in the center of his eyebrows. His Primordial Spirit shone brilliantly, and endless power of Divine Sense transformed into tiny particles that surged out of his Niwan Palace, radiating over a radius of more than ten miles.
Under the ice of the Panshan River, several large fish were swimming downstream.
Yan Chu targeted one of the fish, moved his Divine Sense, and attached it to the fish, following it into the deep riverbed.
The riverbed was lush with water plants, and fish and shrimp were swimming happily, unhindered by the severe cold of winter.
He withdrew his attention and looked again at a mountain more than ten miles away, where a brown bear was hibernating.
Yan Chu moved his Divine Sense, controlled the brown bear to get up, come out of the cave, roll a few times in the snow, and then withdrew his Divine Sense again...
【 Cultivation Technique: Heaven-Changing Earth-Striking Great Art (Mental Energy in the subtle realm 976521 / 1200000) 】
Opening his eyes again, Yan Chu felt that his spirit had never been so vigorous and clear, and the whole world had become much clearer before his eyes.
The growth of Mental Energy brought about more Martial Dao insights.
The proficiency of the sword technique Immortal Flying from Beyond the Heavens and the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art began to rise continuously.
"Good!"
Now that the Heaven-Changing Earth-Striking Great Art is at the subtle realm level, when he breaks through to the next level, the Sea of Consciousness Domain, that will be the time he opens the Mental Divine Treasury and achieves the Heavenly Human Realm.
Yan Chu looked towards the west, as if piercing through vast mountains and rivers, seeing countless deserts and the prosperity of the world.
There are dozens of countries of various sizes in the Western Regions, all of which revere Buddhism; it can be called a Buddhist land everywhere.
The lair of the Huanxi Sect is there.
He has been keeping this debt in mind!
...
...
Central Prefecture, Han Family.
The Han Family is slightly inferior to those top-tier clans that have been passed down for thousands of years, but it can definitely be considered a top-tier aristocratic Family in Central Prefecture.
Ever since the Family's Old Ancestor, Han Tianzong, advanced to a Celestial Being Expert and became a Purple Robe Divine Constable of the Six Doors, the Han Family has become increasingly prosperous.
As the legitimate son of the Han Family and the future head of the Family, Han Yue also possesses considerable prestige among the younger generation in Central Prefecture.
Today, Dingxiang Tower is bustling with noise and excitement.
In the most luxurious private room of Dingxiang Tower, Han Yue sits in the main seat, and the dozen or so people sitting around the round table are all children of various aristocratic families in the capital.
Today is Han Yue's thirty-fifth birthday.
A group of friends he gets along with on weekdays gathered here specifically to celebrate his birthday.
"Brother Han, this is a golden Buddha I specifically requested from Fahua Temple. I wish you many more years to come!"
A servant respectfully placed a golden Buddha over a foot tall in front of Han Yue, and a young aristocratic youth beside him congratulated him with a smile.
Aristocratic youths in the capital are also divided into circles.
The first circle consists of ancient millennial clans and royal Family members; they belong to one circle. After all, the royal Li Family is a clan that has been passed down for thousands of years.
When the Great Jin Dynasty's founding ancestor was able to sweep across the world, it was inseparable from the all-out support of several top clans.
Interactions in this circle are closed.
Even though the Han Family's Old Ancestor is already a Celestial Being Expert, Han Yue cannot squeeze into this circle. No other reason, the foundation is not enough!
The second circle is the circle where Han Yue belongs.
People in this circle are the descendants of the Three Ducal Ministers and Nine Ministers of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the core figures of major Sects in Central Prefecture.
This circle is definitely top-tier if placed outside of Central Prefecture, but in Central Prefecture, it can only rank below the first circle.
And the Han Family belongs to the head of this circle. After all, there is a Celestial Being Expert sitting in the Family, which is much better than other forces and families in the circle, but it cannot squeeze into the first circle for the time being.
So naturally, Han Yue has become the undisputed big brother among this group of youths.
Han Yue rested his chin on his hand, watching the maid lift the red embroidered cloth from the golden Buddha, revealing a cute, big-bellied Maitreya Buddha underneath.
He looked around at the few people present.
There were the legitimate sons of the Zhao Family, Fang Family, and Lin Family, as well as the eldest Disciple of the Heavenly Saber Sect, the young leader of the Beggars Gang, and the Senior Brother of the Jinglei Sect.
The legitimate son of the Zhao Family, Zhao Mufeng, is Zhao Jiyao's own elder brother.
The Zhao Family can only be considered middle-to-lower in this circle, but because of the relationship between Zhao Jiyao and Han Yue, he was able to sit on Han Yue's right hand, and his status was relatively high.
After all, everyone knows that Young Master Han loves the Fourth Miss of the Zhao Family deeply.
When Zhao Jiyao was still in the capital, Han Yue was almost her follower; as long as she wanted, picking the stars and the moon was not a problem.
Later, when Zhao Jiyao left the capital, Han Yue even wanted to go with her. If it weren't for the Fourth Miss Zhao's stern refusal, that incident wouldn't have happened.
Thinking of this, the others present looked at each other, knowing it without speaking.
Looking at Han Yue's calm expression, he still had the demeanor of a big brother.
Looking at Zhao Mufeng's serious Face, sitting uneasily, the others couldn't help but raise the corners of their mouths, revealing teasing smiles.
That incident has now spread throughout the capital. Only Young Master Han doesn't know; everyone is tacitly hiding it from him.
"In the years in the capital, the happiest thing is having you sworn brothers. I, Young Master Han, really have Face."
Han Yue looked at everyone with a smile and said, "The Northern Mang envoy delegation is now challenging various aristocratic youths everywhere in the capital. What do you all think?"
Everyone was silent.
What Han Yue said was about the Northern Mang envoy delegation coming to welcome the bride. Princess Yunshu is about to marry far away to Northern Mang, and this is a major event between the two countries.
After the Northern Mang envoy delegation arrived in the capital, they sent a young expert to challenge the descendants of various aristocratic families, wanting to suppress Great Jin in terms of Aura.
Seeing that no one was speaking, Han Yue looked at Zhao Mufeng beside him and said, "Brother Zhao, how about it? Do you have any thoughts about accepting the challenge of the Northern Mang envoy delegation?"
Zhao Mufeng was wandering outside, and suddenly seeing Han Yue turn his gaze to him, his mouth moved for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
"Haha, Brother Han, don't make it difficult for Brother Zhao. He is currently worrying about how to explain the matter of the Fourth Miss of the Zhao Family to you! I guess he can't spare the time to think about the Northern Mang envoy delegation."
Pfft!
Hearing the words of Fang Hao, the legitimate son of the Fang Family, everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This laugh made Zhao Mufeng's Face change drastically, and it made Han Yue confused.
"What does Brother Fang mean?"
"What is Brother Zhao explaining to me?"
"What happened to Jiyao?"
These Soul-searching questions made Zhao Mufeng's Face turn pale with each question.
Fang Hao held back his laughter and said, "It's better to let Brother Mufeng tell you himself!"
Seeing the teasing expressions of everyone, Han Yue finally realized that something was wrong; this was likely targeted at Zhao Jiyao.
No wonder he had heard that Zhao Jiyao had been grounded by the Zhao Family not long ago.
Han Yue looked at Zhao Mufeng, his expression extremely serious, and said, "Brother Zhao, what exactly happened?"
Zhao Mufeng looks 30% similar to Zhao Jiyao, but his features are softer, which is somewhat the opposite of Zhao Jiyao's heroic appearance.
Zhao Mufeng naturally didn't dare to speak.
If Han Yue knew about this, wouldn't he go crazy?
But since Zhao Mufeng wouldn't say it, someone present would. It was still Fang Hao; he smiled, seemingly considering for Han Yue, and said, "Brother Han, there are rumors outside now that when the Fourth Miss of the Zhao Family was in Cangzhou Prefecture, she was inseparable from the Blade Demon Yan Chu, and it seems she has already given herself to the Blade Demon Yan Chu, becoming one of his women."
Silence!
After Fang Hao finished this sentence, everyone present bowed their heads silently, not daring to make a sound. The room was so quiet that a needle could be heard dropping.
The Old Ancestor of the Fang Family is another Purple Robe Divine Constable of the Six Doors. So Fang Hao dared to say this in front of Han Yue, but they didn't dare.
Han Yue's expression was stunned at first, then turned as red as a pig's liver, and then became extremely cold. He said coldly, word by word, "Brother Fang, you can eat food indiscriminately, but you can't speak indiscriminately!"
"Who doesn't know that Jiyao is the most self-respecting? If you slander her like this, don't blame me for being impolite to you!"
The people present lowered their heads and held back their laughter.
She is probably only self-respecting in front of you, right? In front of the Blade Demon, she might be a different person. After all, you, Young Master Han, have so many women, all of whom threw themselves at you. Fourth Miss Zhao rejected you, so you treated her as someone not interested in ordinary men. But the Blade Demon Yan Chu is not an ordinary man!
Fang Hao spread his hands, his expression innocent, and said, "It's not that I'm talking nonsense; it's spread everywhere outside now. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Zhao!"
Whoosh!
Han Yue turned his head sharply to look at Zhao Mufeng, his eyes terrifyingly cold, and said coldly, "Tell me! Is what he said true!"
Zhao Mufeng's expression was smiling like crying, "Brother Han, I..."
"Ah!!!!"
Seeing his expression, Han Yue understood everything. A burst of anger rushed straight from his chest to his forehead, and he slapped his Tianling point with hatred.
"Brother Han—"
Zhao Mufeng was shocked and hurriedly dodged. One palm rumblingly smashed the entire third floor of Dingxiang Tower into ruins. Many diners below suffered an undeserved disaster, and many died under this palm. Dust and blood mist rose.
"Dog thief, don't run!"
Han Yue didn't even look at the people below. Seeing Zhao Mufeng rush out of Dingxiang Tower and flee into the distance, he immediately leaped up and chased after him relentlessly.
The remaining aristocratic youths looked at each other in dismay.
