Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

In the main hall, soldiers wearing golden armor stood on both sides of the long steps, and ministers in various costumes prostrated themselves in worship.

Outside the main hall, thousands of people watched from a distance and sang praises for this peaceful and prosperous era.

As Xiao Zeyao raised his hand and pressed down, the phantom of this magnificent and glorious palace pressed directly towards Gu Xu's head, like a five-fingered mountain, vowing to suppress Gu Xu.

A heavy pressure immediately swept through Gu Xu's body.

I want to bend his spine, bend his knees, crush his bones, and force him to bow his head and surrender under this powerful imperial power.

The figure of the weapon spirit and the Dharma form faded a lot at this moment.

Gu Xu was no stranger to this feeling.

While he was in the "Realm of Taoism" in Shenji Camp, he experienced similar pressure in the "Tianlong Domain" of Xiao Shangzhen, the fourth prince of Da Qi, codenamed "Qilin".

The ancestral spells of the Da Qi royal family have always been in this style.

Gu Xu frowned slightly, feeling a little troubled.

However, he was not in a hurry to use "Firefly Flame" to break the situation.

The "Seven Styles of Burning Heaven" indeed have a strong restraining effect on the royal family's spells.

But the green and immature "Celestial Dragon Realm" of the fourth prince can never be compared with the towering palace hall today.

The reason why strong men above saints pursue the secret of the great way of heaven and earth is to use the power of heaven and earth to break through their own limits.

What Xiao Zeyao borrowed was the power of Sheji.

The rise of the state and the nation dates back to ancient times, when people lived in an unorganized environment, animals and livestock were unruly, and vegetation was luxuriant but without owners. Therefore, those with far-sighted ideas, aware of the danger of chaos, conspired to legislate and establish order. The principles of ruler and ministers include establishing the righteousness of father and son, offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple, establishing the system of rituals and music, so as to maintain security within; establish defenses for the city, and build communication roads to secure the outside. Therefore, the country was formed from the beginning of chaos, and order was established from the state of disorder.

Gu Xu could clearly see countless dense and orderly lines of cause and effect——

One end is connected to Xiao Zeyao, and the other end points to the county offices, city walls, earth temples, laws, soldiers wearing helmets, and ministers wearing black gauze hats in Daqi...

From near to far, from top to bottom, the terrifying power of a state machine truly appeared in front of Gu Xu.

Whether he is punished or not, it all comes from his hands; everything he sees is subject to his jurisdiction.

All people in the world are in awe of his power.

Even if Gu Xu temporarily borrowed the power of a saint from Luo Chuan, he still felt a little uncomfortable in front of this majestic palace that embodied the power and power of the entire Da Qi court.

He took a few steps back.

But his eyes remained calm. Because he had long expected that Xiao Zeyao would use such a trick and was already prepared for it.

"The people are the most noble, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important," Gu Xu looked at Xiao Zeyao in front of him and said softly, "The people of Qiu are the emperor, the emperor is the princes, and the princes are the officials.

"You used the power of this country to deal with me, but you forgot that the root of this country is the people you wantonly slaughtered.

"In my opinion, your beautiful palace is just rootless duckweed, full of flaws."

"So what if there is no rootless duckweed? So what if it is full of flaws?" Xiao Zeyao chuckled, not paying attention to Gu Xu's words, "It's enough to deal with you.

"As for what you call 'fundamentals', they are essentially a group of livestock in a pen. As long as you feed them, they will be grateful to you; if you threaten them, they will be obedient; and you can pick out a few disobedient ones. If you kill it, the rest will not dare to cause trouble, and will even applaud you.

“Strength is the real foundation.

"With enough power, you can do whatever you want."

The moment he finished speaking, the guards and ministers in the hall surged towards Gu Xu like a tide and launched a fearless attack.

Gu Xu raised his hand, and hundreds of talismans flew out from "Xianyunju", forming shields one after another, blocking the front of these phantoms.

These shields bought him time to recite the incantation silently.

Behind him, wisps of green smoke gradually appeared.

Not the distant clouds, not the light mist in the mountains, but the smoke from the kitchens in the towns and villages, mixed with the temperature of the firewood, the fragrance of the food and grains, the sound of the clinking cooking utensils, and the joys, sorrows, and joys of ordinary residents.

The smoke was very light, almost invisible, and was covered by the dazzling light of the main hall.

But every shadow that was close to the smoke was melted silently.

at the same time. The three statues of Emperor Ziwei carried by Shangguan Jin and Zhao Yan have appeared in three directions on the outskirts of Yishui County, forming an invisible array.

These statues have been worshiped for a long time and have gathered a large amount of incense power.

Now, the worries and fears of Yishui residents about today's incident and their desire to restore peace have also converged on several statues.

Then they rushed to where Gu Xu was.

Incense is never a one-way awe.

It’s a two-way giving.

All living beings dedicate their pious hearts to gods.

Gods should also shoulder their expectations and protect them safe and sound.

Incense is power, but also responsibility.

Gu Xu is still far away from the ninth realm.

However, recently, he has gained a deeper understanding of the power of incense by looking at the world through the astrolabe.

Xiao Zeyao believes that with power, one can despise everything.

But Gu Xu wanted to tell him that even the earthworm has the power to shake the tree.

The spell he was using at this moment was the fifth form of the "Seven Forms of Burning Heaven" - "Fireworks in the World".

As Gu Xu stretched out his hand and pointed forward, the smoke spread forward.

It seemed like decades or hundreds of years passed in an instant.

The smoke seemed to turn into flames of war.

The golden glazed tiles and carved beams and painted pillars of the main hall gradually lost their golden light and faded under the erosion of smoke. The solid pillars were eaten away bit by bit, and the gorgeous decoration gradually became mottled, losing its previous splendor.

Spring grass grows when a country is destroyed, and there are no ancient hills in the royal palace.

The grass and millet are separated from the wild wormwood.

In an instant, the splendid hall disappeared, as if it was a short-lived dream in the long river of time.

But the smoke did not dissipate.

It quickly wrapped Xiao Zeyao like a gray robe.

Xiao Zeyao's body was not harmed in any way.

But his true power was like a flood that burst a dam, completely out of control and rapidly draining from his body.

He couldn't resist, couldn't stop, couldn't even move.

I can only watch helplessly as I turn from a sword to a fish.

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it." Gu Xu took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand, and calmly took off his mask, exposing his face exactly like that of Emperor Tianxing to the sight of the people around him, "Contempt The people will eventually be counterattacked by their power."

"You obviously -" Xiao Zeyao's cold face showed panic for the first time. As soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Xu.

"——You want to say, my level is obviously so low, I am not even a saint, why can I control you so easily?" Gu Xu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled softly. In Xiao Zeyao's eyes, he looked like a demon playing with people's hearts.

"Do you want to know the secret to advancing to the ninth realm?" Gu Xu paused and continued.

"Ninth realm?"

Xiao Zeyao has been living with the projection of Taishang Haotian for many years. He has long known that the so-called "ascension" is a scam, but he has never known what the real ninth realm is, and he has never found a way to advance.

When he heard the word "Ninth Realm", his words could not help but reveal the emotion of longing. Even if the Gu Xu in front of him was the enemy who had just fought a life-and-death battle with him, he was extremely eager to hear the answer to this question from this young man who was the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei.

"Those who have attained the Dao will receive many help, while those who have lost the Dao will receive little help." Gu Xu replied.

Then, faint smoke poured into Xiao Zeyao's body from his seven orifices, completely erasing the remnants of his soul that had been lingering for many years.

Only an empty body remains.
