Chapter 42 The Temple Warehouse
Chapter 42 The Temple Warehouse
In the governor’s deep mansion, five youths finished practicing a set of swordsmanship, and the roads and ravines inside the courtyard were covered with sword marks, showing extreme lethality.
“This sword technique is called Five Seasons Sword, and there were exactly five of us, so each of us practiced one season, but it was just right.” That town governor’s son’s name was Liu Yu, and he practiced the sword technique blazing with heat and sun, pushing it open and smelling like the earth was dry.
“Five Seasons of Sword Technique! This is a truly ancient sword!” Gu-Chensha was slightly stunned.
Originally, there were only four seasons between heaven and earth, spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
But in the ancient times, there were five seasons, because during the fifth season, ten days would appear in the sky, scorching the earth and mountains and rivers to death, and the living beings were in an oven of torment, and then the lightning appeared and shot down nine days, so there were only four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
“Your cultivation of the sword is also an oddity; this is a strange encounter, and will be useful in the future.” Gu-Chensha also tutted at the subtleties of the Five Seasons Sword technique, he took out the gourd and poured five drops of the Heavenly Dew into the bowl and said: “This is an elixir, each of you take one drop, it will cut down the hair and cleanse the marrow, force out the impurities in your body, and you may have a chance to be promoted to Grandmaster soon.”
“This is....” The five youths smelled the fragrance and were all relaxed, that Liu Yu’s eyes were peculiar and fierce and said: “Is this the legendary Heavenly Dew?”
“Oh? You actually know the Heavenly Dew.” Gu-Chensha didn’t expect the youth of a small town in a remote land to know such a thing.
“We read in the book we hid in that cave that if we could take the Heavenly Dew, several key acupuncture points of our swordsmanship could be opened and taken to the next level, and now that I smell the fragrance and several of my key acupuncture points are stirring, I’m guessing if it’s something rare in this ancient capital.” Liu Yu poofed down and said: “Your Highness Nineteenth actually bestowed such a precious item on me, we vow to saddle up and serve.”
“No, I’m not giving it to you, I’m giving it to the whole town’s people.” Gu-Chensha looked pale and said: “The cult will make a comeback at any time, the five of you are the strongest in martial arts, and you must protect the town. Promise me that you will protect them even if you have to die.”
“Yes!” Hearing Gu-Chensha’s words, the sacred taste of vying for power rose in the hearts of the five.
“Take up your swords and guard those who are to be guarded, the swords are still there, the hope is there.” Gu-Chensha patted each of them on the shoulder and said: “Get up, I hope that in the coming day, we will meet in the capital and drink wine.”
Saying this, he leapt up steeply and ran fast, leaving the town for the cult’s true lair, Taoxian County.
“The sword is still there, hope is still......” Liu Yu mumbled the words, his blood boiling all over and said: “Your Highness is truly a dragon among men, worthy of our oath to follow him to the death, he went into the cult’s lair alone, this is great courage, for the sake of the people of our town, granting us the Heavenly Dew, this is great righteousness, what regret do we have to follow this man? Come, drink this the Heavenly Dew together, practice your sword with gusto, and slay your enemies with a bang!”
The morning fog had dispersed, the sun was shining, the weather was still clear and cold, and spring was still to come, Gu-Chensha was taking mountain paths, and there were few people, so he hadn’t encountered any evil high handedness.
Gradually, he traveled a few hundred miles forward again, and he approached the county seat of Taoxian County.
He found a vantage point on a hill outside the county seat, and raised his eyes to gaze at the county seat as far as the eye could see.
The county had completely fallen, and many cultists were hauling wood, stone, and seemingly building temples and altars in the middle of the county. On the roads leading in all directions, many cultists came from all directions, driving and escorting the people.
The cultists took this as their foundation and sent out teams everywhere to plunder the various villages and towns, robbing the people for sacrifices.
As it turned out, many of the people were overseen by the cultists, and groups of barbarian soldiers, and any of the people who struggled and resisted badly would be dragged right up to the huge altar, violently chopped off their heads, and sacrificed to the evil gods.
The altar in the center of the county was at least several thousand acres in size, with bloodstains and bones on it, and it was unknown how many people had been killed these days.
In the center of the altar, because of too many killings, hidden blackness like a pillar, seems to have opened some kind of portal, inside the gale, ghosts and howls, there are demonic shadows shaking, to squeeze into breaking heavens inbetween, descend into this real world.
Many barbarian generals kneeled under the altar to pray, and from time to time they caught a few of their people and beheaded them, and all of a sudden black smoke rushed into them, making them raise their power a bit.
This kind of cultivation and killing made them cultivate extremely fast.
“What a damned thing, beasts and such.” Gu-Chensha hated it in his heart, but he did not make any move, he knew that there were bound to be experts in this Taoxian County, barbarians and evil demons were not a few, so he could not act rashly.
“Sacrifice the other mouth the Blood Melting Blade first.”
His body disappeared and he sacrificed another Blood Melting Blade in the Sacrifice to the Heavens space.
The Blood Melting Blade instantly collapsed, and transformed into “the Demon Conquering Blade”. The Blood Melting Blade collapsed instantly, turning into “the Demon Conquering Blade”. Then the two Synthesized Demon Conquering Blades were attracted to each other, merged with each other, and turned into one blade again.
Gu-Chensha took the newly synthesized Demon Conquering Blade and noticed that the sword was a bit heavier again, but with more perfect lines and a sharper edge. At the same time, the two cult leaders Martial Dao Grandmaster killed were also sacrificed, getting five drops of the Heavenly Dew, exactly the same number as the five drops sent out, and he had to marvel at the Heavenly Dao cycle.
“The power of this blade has increased again, and it is even handier to use, I wonder if I can break the Dao Realm Third Transformation Bronze Skin and Iron Bones stronger protection?” Gu-Chensha took out a set of cultist clothes to change into.
He had been prepared for this, these cultists were all covered in black robes, even their faces were wrapped in them, it was impossible to see their true faces, yet it was not difficult for him to blend in.
Plus, the three counties’ cults have not been established for a long time, the various systems are not perfect, and the fish and dragons are so mixed up that they don’t even know their own people, which is greatly advantageous for Gu-Chensha to blend in.
After he changed his clothes, he jumped quickly and followed behind the team of cultists returning to the city, surprisingly no one noticed.
These cultists all walk in silence, each regardless, their spirituality seemingly eroded by evil spirits, their force certainly increasing, but losing their intelligence and some of their humanity.
Such people are easy to control and fight bravely, but they have lost their creativity and will not last long.
“You will go to rest, eat something, and wait for orders at any time!” Walk into the county seat, the cult leader in front of you commands.
These cultists also walked forward in silence, arrived at the newly built temple, and each sat down. At this time another cultist brings water and food, and after the cultists have eaten, they lie down to rest, and do not talk to each other, as if they were walking corpses.
They had no house of their own, and their rest was in the temple, and each of them had his own bunk.
Gu-Chensha pretends to urinate and defecate, and walks about at will, but no one cares for him either.
Presently, his body flashed fiercely and with great speed, avoiding the ears of the crowd and lurking deep into this temple.
The entire Taoxian County was constantly being transformed by the cultists, and pieces of temples wrapped around the central altar.
The outermost temples are inhabited by ordinary believers, all of whom sleep on the floor in large halls, and a large hall often sleeps hundreds of people, while going inside is a separate small room, indeed inhabited by the leader of the higher cult.
When Gu-Chensha went deeper towards the inside, it was found that the ones with separate small rooms were warrior level cult leaders, and in deeper, separate large rooms, and even those with servants were martial artists.
But none of this has assassination value.
Gu-Chensha and even now Martial Dao Grandmaster don’t want to assassinate, he wants to assassinate the Dao Realm cult or the Barbarian tribe Marshal level.
The Dao Realm even if the First Transformation, the status among the Barbarians must be that of a marshal commanding a great army, or an extremely noble temple messenger.
If we can assassinate a few of these key Marshals, it will surely ease the crisis.
“Deepen again!”
His body flickers like a gecko swimming on a wall, like a civet cat retreating, or like a snake in a den. The Sun Moon Transformation’s body techniques are so extreme that even a master would find it difficult to detect his presence.
The Sun Moon Transformation is adept at change, and his breath may be majestic or obscure.
He stands behind a pillar, completely integrated with his surroundings, his heartbeat and breathing are all in line with the frequency of this temple, and even those who have cultivated their minds to the most mysterious level will not be able to sense his presence.
The deeper the temple, the more magnificent the decoration, there are actually gold foil jade pearls on the walls, the cultists walking here are also energetic enough, not that kind of walking corpse state.
“The defenses aren’t very tight.” Gu-Chensha hid in a corner, whenever someone passed by, others entered the altar space, and when they left, he appeared again, so he hid and hid, and quickly approached the location of the temple’s core location and said: The Sacrificial is a place where you can find the best of the best, and where you can find the best of the best,” he said. It’s not a weakness of the Sacrificial Skyseal Edict, it’s that I haven’t triggered my true ability yet.”
Ancient history books recorded that the Sacrificial Skyseal Edict is almost omnipotent, in addition to communicating with the heavens, itself is also a supreme treasure to suppress many worlds, birth and death of all things, it can be said that it is the only key to open the Heavenly Dao treasury, or the Heavenly Dao core fragment.
However, this treasure’s abilities are only the tip of the iceberg, requiring more of the Son of Heaven’s qi to activate, and many of the Ancient Sons of Heaven have not been able to accumulate enough of the Son of Heaven’s qi to fully utilize this treasure.
The real usage of the Sacrificial Skyseal Edict in ancient times was actually the emperor building a huge altar, placing edicts on it, and then sacrificing it at a time chosen by the emperor, in order to channel the Son of Heaven Qi of the nation into it and abolish the gods.
Hiya! Hiya!
Just then, voices were heard on the main road to the temple, and a group of congregants were carrying boxes to be placed in storage.
“Be careful, these can be treasures, carry them gently and do not jolt them.” The leader of the cult called out loudly, the ones carrying the boxes were all Warrior, there were more than ten of them, and lifting a mouthful of boxes seemed strenuous, it was evident that the boxes contained at least thousands of pounds of stuff.
Gu-Chensha tails behind, and sees the group spare the main hall, enter the side hall, and use the key to open the heavy door.
Whoosh!
Gu-Chensha dug in as fast as he could.
“Huh? Why do I feel like a shadow just flashed by?” A few cult leaders looked at each other for a few moments, busy entering this treasury to scrutinize every corner, but they didn’t find anyone and said: “Could it be that our eyes are blurry?”
After making sure there was no one here, they closed the door and left.
After a long time, a person suddenly appeared inside this treasury, really Gu-Chensha, who had just ventured into this treasury and then into the altar space, waiting for a long time, feeling that the person viewing it had left, before coming out.
“I can’t see the outside situation inside the altar space, yet it’s troublesome, if I can find more of the Great Wei Dynasty’s decree and absorb the Son of Heaven’s Qi in it, I’m sure I can make the altar space change in a new way.” Gu-Chensha begins to view this treasury.
