Chapter 2541 Why did Your Majesty rebel?
On the day of Geng Chu's governance of the altar, Qin Sang arrived as scheduled.
Senior Zhou inquired about the progress of the Spirit Network.
Qin Sang replied, "I wonder if Senior can sense the fluctuations of the Heavenly Tribulation on my body? Although the Taiyi Ling Shu Scripture is far superior to the cultivation method I practiced before, changing the method has caused my Dao foundation to shake and I have not made any progress. I am not entirely confident in passing this tribulation and have no time to worry about anything else."
“If you act quickly, the spiritual networks of the two places can be connected, and I might be able to lend a hand. But now you can only rely on yourself,” Senior Zhou sighed.
"Senior, rest assured, I have already chosen a reliable person. Even if I die under the heavenly tribulation, someone will take over the spirit network and continue to contact you," Qin Sang said in a deep voice, his tone somewhat tragic.
He had been keeping the growth of the Spirit Network under control, and he would not contact the Qianzhou Spirit Network before the great war.
The necessary explanations had already been given. Senior Zhou was only asking about Qin Sang's current situation to confirm that nothing serious had happened. He then gave Qin Sang some pointers before disconnecting.
Qin Sang regained her composure and stepped down from the altar.
The area outside the altar remained unchanged. It seemed that the original owner had abandoned the temple, probably because of the frequent chaos in the Cangwu Kingdom. That person could not cultivate in peace in the cave, which saved Qin Sang a lot of trouble.
After sealing off the altar, Qin Sang flew towards the Kingdom of Horned Life. With the Heavenly Tribulation approaching, the fluctuations on his body became increasingly conspicuous and difficult to conceal.
After a brief stop at the Five Thunder Sect's headquarters, Qin Sang continued westward, arriving at the far west of the Horned Beast Kingdom.
This place is deserted and desolate.
Qin Sang searched everywhere and finally chose a place to undergo tribulation, where he began to set up a tribulation-crossing formation.
In fact, given his cultivation level, he didn't need to be so cautious when facing his first Heavenly Tribulation.
Before long, the sky changed, and the ground began to tremble.
Qin Sang hovered in mid-air, his true essence sweeping across the world like a raging tide.
Below, the soil surged and churned like waves, old mountains sank into the ground, and new mountains rose up. Rivers changed course and mountains shifted, turning clouds and rain with a flick of the wrist!
After Qin Sang withdrew his true essence, the landscape and earth veins below underwent tremendous changes. Then, with a wave of his sleeve, streaks of light flew out, each streak of light enveloping a banner.
There were tens of thousands of banners, each with a different shape, but they were connected by a common energy, and were the array flags of the same great formation. He had specially crafted them for this tribulation.
The array flags hung in the air, row upon row, column upon column, their radiant light obscuring the sky, a truly magnificent sight, demonstrating the immense scale of this array.
'Whoosh whoosh whoosh...'
The battle flags fell to the ground in unison, disappearing into the earth and hiding among the veins of the earth.
In an instant, sandstorms arose, and the yellow sand filled the sky, isolating the inside from the outside. Qin Sang pointed his finger downwards, and a high platform rose from the ground. He landed gracefully, and the surroundings were clear and untouched by the sandstorms.
Not long after, Bai Ying'er secretly left the Five Thunder Sect headquarters and arrived at the place where Qin Sang was undergoing tribulation, disappearing into the yellow sand.
Several months later, thunder suddenly rumbled over the yellow sand, and dark clouds gathered from all directions. Even during the windstorm season, these dark clouds could not be dispersed.
More and more dark clouds gathered, forming a thick layer in the sky. Lightning flashed and thunder roared deep within the clouds, completely obscuring the wind disaster. The clouds exuded a heavenly might that terrified cultivators!
'Rumble...'
The earth shook and the sky trembled.
Fortunately, this place is deserted and there are no other living beings around, otherwise, hearing the thunder would probably have terrified me!
In the midst of the formation, Qin Sang slowly awoke, calmly raising her head to gaze at the tribulation clouds in the sky. The power of the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation was indeed formidable.
Turning my gaze to the edge of the great formation, I saw Bai Ying'er sitting there, also looking at the tribulation clouds with a solemn expression.
This grand formation covers an extremely wide area, encompassing the entire tribulation cloud, to prevent the Heavenly Dao from mistaking Bai Ying'er for his helper in overcoming the tribulation and causing unforeseen events.
"Get into formation!"
Qin Sang silently recited in her heart.
The array flags hidden underground shot out one after another, forming a magnificent flag array on the ground. The flags fluttered, and then visible streams of energy swirled and flowed around them. The color of the energy was dark yellow, similar to that of the wind and sand. As these streams of energy appeared, the flags themselves disappeared, and the power of the great array gradually became apparent.
'call! '
Suddenly, a sandstorm raged, its force becoming even more ferocious.
The yellow sand and the energy of the great formation merged into one. Faced with the terrifying power of heaven, it surged upward against the tide, and the sandstorm rose into the sky, covering the nine heavens and actually surrounding the tribulation clouds.
The boundless yellow sand, like a sea of yellow sand, a wall of yellow sand, covers the sky and connects heaven and earth, completely sealing off this area. From the outside, one can only see the vast yellow sky and hear the rumble of thunder, but cannot see the calamity clouds.
However, the divine might brought by the tribulation lightning could not be concealed and spread in all directions.
……
It's not far from the place where the tribulation is being conducted.
Inside a certain underground cave.
Some people are sitting quietly here, waiting for something.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared, illuminating their faces; it turned out to be Xuan Ying and a group of demon cultivators.
The demons awoke almost simultaneously and all looked in the same direction.
"It's finally starting!" Brother Zong's voice echoed like a roar in the small cave.
"Then I'll have to trouble you all!"
Xianying suppressed the excitement in his eyes and bowed respectfully.
"Easy to say! Easy to say!"
"Fellow Taoist, you're welcome!"
"I have a long-standing feud with the Suanni tribe..."
……
A chorus of agreement arose from all around.
This time, they will take advantage of Qin Sang's tribulation to lure Long You and other demons here and ambush them.
This was a trap set by Qin Sang and Xuan Ying, who had been planning for hundreds of years since the Battle of the Forbidden Land, for Long You and other demons.
The demon race hunts, and they will not stop until they have plunged the world into chaos.
After becoming the overlord, the Jiaosheng Kingdom began to bide its time, which was not something the demon race wanted to see. Moreover, the Jiaosheng Kingdom also controlled a part of the dragon vein of the Zhuqian Dynasty.
Using the forbidden area, Xuan Ying instigated a war between the five great nations and made a great contribution. Long You, eager to make a contribution, would not let this opportunity pass.
A wave of heavenly might emanated from afar, and Xuan Ying's expression was somewhat complicated. He hadn't expected that Fellow Daoist Mingyue would actually dare to use herself as bait during her tribulation.
Aren't you afraid that you might have evil intentions and take advantage of his weakness after the ordeal to attack him?
Fellow Daoist Mingyue was willing to use himself as bait, which shows that his ambitions are great and that we need to be more vigilant. However, deep down, it's hard for Xuan Ying to feel any ill will towards him. After all, he had been saved once before, and now the other party is risking his life to help him ambush his enemy. He has received too many favors. Unless he is heartless, it would be too unreasonable for him to deliberately distance himself from him as before.
Even I find it hard to feel at ease.
If the Azure Phoenix Clan harbors ill intentions towards the Wind-Catching Clan, then when faced with matters of principle, one should not let personal feelings override public duty. What if we, Feng Jiuyuan, are overthinking things?
……
The western part of Kakusei Country.
A female cultivator flew at a leisurely pace, seemingly wandering aimlessly.
Suddenly, the jade bracelet on her right wrist lit up. The female cultivator's expression shifted slightly, and she murmured, "Finally found it!"
She immediately turned around and returned to the eye of the storm. When she came out of the eye of the storm again, she found that two companions were already waiting for her.
"Fellow Daoist Yinlin has arrived as well," an old man said with a smile, pointing to the horizon with his cane. "Fellow Daoist Long guessed correctly. The leader of the Five Thunder Sect did not choose to undergo his tribulation at the Five Thunder Sect headquarters, but instead chose this place."
"He dares not undergo tribulation at the Five Thunder Sect's headquarters, probably fearing that the heavenly tribulation will destroy all the hard work he has accumulated over the years! This also proves that this person lacks confidence!"
Silver Scale glanced around. "Fellow Daoist Long hasn't arrived yet?"
"It should be soon..."
Before he finished speaking, a figure flew out from the eye of the storm; it was none other than Long You, a powerful member of the Suanni clan.
Once their companions had all arrived, the demons, led by Longyou, quietly approached the place of tribulation, not revealing themselves immediately but observing from a distance.
Just then, a deafening thunderclap resounded from the yellow sand, signaling the start of the heavenly tribulation!
All they could see from here was a hazy yellow sky; they couldn't even see the tribulation clouds or the tribulation lightning, let alone the people undergoing tribulation. Even the aura of the tribulation lightning was obscured by the great formation, making it somewhat blurry and indistinct.
However, the aura of a cultivator cannot be faked before the tribulation. According to reliable intelligence, the Five Thunder Sect Leader's Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is indeed about to descend.
"This person is indeed afraid of death. To refine such a grand formation, the entire Horned Life Kingdom must be hollowed out!" exclaimed the female cultivator Yin Lin.
The demon cultivator beside him did not respond.
Which cultivator is not afraid of death?
When facing a heavenly tribulation, one must do everything in one's power; otherwise, what use are those external things if one dies and one's cultivation dissipates?
However, the scale of this formation is indeed beyond imagination. Among the demon cultivators present, only Long You is likely capable of refining it, and he will need to obtain assistance from his clan.
“It seems this person has spared no effort to overcome this tribulation. He probably created the Horned Kingdom to borrow the power of the dragon vein to overcome the tribulation, and he actually succeeded,” the old man with the cane said. “If there are no powerful enemies blocking his way, this person should be able to survive this tribulation.”
The ferocious tiger beside them cackled maliciously; they were the formidable foe of the other side!
“Tell the other side that it’s time to act,” Longyou crushed the jade talisman in his hand.
……
Qin Sang felt no remorse, because the spiritual materials used to refine the banners were all provided by Xian Ying. This Myriad Banners Void Array was not intended to help with tribulation, but only to deceive and mislead the other party.
The tribulation clouds finally brewed the first bolt of tribulation lightning.
Only then did Qin Sang stand up, and the Azure Phoenix Dharma Image appeared behind her, merging into her true form.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Sang activated the Great Vajra Wheel Seal, his body radiating a crystal-clear light, and raised his right hand, his palm supporting a small mountain.
These alone are enough to shatter the tribulation lightning.
It's a pity that the Heavenly Eye Butterfly is still asleep, otherwise he could be more relaxed and watch the Heavenly Eye Butterfly swallow these tribulation lightning bolts.
'boom! ’
The lightning pierced through the yellow sand and fell from the sky.
Qin Sang's gaze narrowed slightly as he raised Mount Daiyu. The mountain swelled in the wind, and with a loud boom, tribulation lightning struck it heavily.
Both the immortal mountain and Qin Sang trembled, but the tribulation lightning shattered in response, and the fragmented lightning exploded like fireworks, which was quite a sight.
'boom! ’
'boom! ’
'boom! ’
……
One after another, bolts of tribulation lightning struck, causing all the banners to tremble and the yellow sand at the center of the great formation to shatter. Yet Qin Sang remained steadfast, holding up the immortal mountain, standing unmoved beneath the tribulation clouds.
Having withstood three waves of tribulation lightning, Qin Sang still had energy left. He transmitted his voice to Bai Ying'er, "Draw the dragon vein!"
Bai Ying'er had been on high alert, and upon hearing this, she immediately activated her supernatural powers, channeling the power of the dragon vein.
In an instant, strange phenomena appeared everywhere in the territory of the Horned Kingdom.
These strange phenomena often appeared near the Thunder Tower of the Five Thunder Sect, with winds and clouds changing and thunder shaking the surrounding areas.
Endless bolts of lightning converged in the sky above the Kingdom of Jiaosheng, forming a mighty torrent of thunder that surged across the territory of Jiaosheng and headed towards the western part of the kingdom.
At this moment, the demons, including Longyou, who were guarding outside the place of tribulation, couldn't help but look up at the sky. They saw countless lightning bolts dancing in the upper part of the Xun wind, their dazzling light illuminating the heavens and the earth.
Finally, a thunder dragon was born from the lightning, circling around the yellow sand. With its head and horns prominent and majestic, it devoured enough lightning before plunging into the yellow sand.
Little did anyone know, the thunder dragon did not fly towards Qin Sang, but instead landed beside Bai Ying'er.
This move was intended to mislead Longyou and the others into believing that Qin Sang was using the dragon vein to overcome her tribulation!
……
at the same time.
Near the new capital of Jiaosheng Kingdom, the Northern Lu Royal Palace, and the Shechi Royal Palace, people of unknown origin have quietly appeared. They have been lurking here for some unknown time, watching with predatory eyes.
New Capital, Imperial Palace.
Ning Ye was summoned and invited to the inner palace by the eunuchs.
"Your Majesty has summoned me to the palace in such a hurry. What urgent matter is it?" Ning Ye bowed slightly and then looked directly at the throne.
This gesture was offered to the imperial throne, not to the person seated upon it.
This person is the current ruler of the Kingdom of Jiaosheng, and also the ruler before the rise of the Kingdom of Jiaosheng.
If it weren't for the other person's status, he wouldn't have given them a second glance elsewhere. This world could be said to have been conquered by the Five Thunder Sect, and this person was merely reaping the benefits. However, since the other party held a righteous claim, he couldn't completely ignore them.
On the imperial throne, a young man sat upright, dressed in a golden robe with dragons and wearing an imperial crown. He exuded a certain aura, but his face was slightly pale.
Seeing Ning Ye's behavior, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
Ning Ye keenly noticed this and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
It is said that before the rise of the Kingdom of Jiaosheng, this person was gentle and humble, a wise ruler, and a close friend of Bai Ying'er and her husband.
As the Kingdom of Jiaosheng grew stronger, this person's mentality also changed. Perhaps at first he was grateful to the Five Thunder Sect for saving the Kingdom of Jiaosheng from its predicament, but later he was unwilling to let the Five Thunder Sect control the Kingdom of Jiaosheng and become a puppet emperor. In the end, he even began to harbor resentment.
Over the years, this person has often made some small moves, but he hasn't caused any real trouble. In addition, he and Bai Ying'er are old friends, so the Five Thunder Sect doesn't pay attention to him, and Ning Ye and Yuan Zuo also turn a blind eye.
However, recently, this person seems to have become increasingly unrestrained.
"Does the Emperor have to encounter trouble before he can meet with the Imperial Preceptor Ning?" The Emperor bowed slightly, his eyes showing a sharpness he had never displayed before.
Ning Ye said he dared not, and frowned slightly.
"The empire built by generations of hard work has been taken away by outsiders. Has the Grand Preceptor Ning ever felt resentment?" The king's tone was somewhat strange.
"Those are all things of the past! As the Grand Preceptor, I, Ning, have worked tirelessly day and night for the sake of the Kingdom of Jiaosheng, fulfilling my duties to the utmost..."
Ning Ye was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
The king sighed, "I know that the Imperial Preceptor Ning is loyal, but unfortunately his loyalty is not to me!"
"Your Majesty desires my loyalty?" Ning Ye's lips curled into a mocking smile.
This person is merely a Nascent Soul cultivator who was fortunate enough to receive a Mountain and River Thunder Suppression Pagoda from the Five Thunder Sect, which enabled him to break through to the Void Refinement stage. Yet he dares to demand his loyalty.
Suddenly, Ning Ye's expression froze. He saw a person walk out from behind the throne—it was Yuan Zuo!
I recommend a book: *My Literary Experience in Russia*.
Many years later, when Nabokov lectured on Russian literature in the United States, he did just that.
He first turned on a lamp in the corner of the dark room and said, "Pushkin is the first bright light of Russian literature."
Then he opened the middle lamp and said, "This is Gogol."
Then he turned on another light and said, "This is Chekhov."
Then he strode to the window, ripped open the curtains, letting the bright sunlight into the room, and shouted: "This is Tolstoy!"
After calming down, a student raised his hand and asked, "Professor, what about the sky outside?"
"You all know it without me telling you." Nabokov opened the window and looked at the boundless sky:
"The source of the modern world! Both spiritually and practically!"
Immortal Mikhail Romanovich Raskolnikov!"
Concise version: Back in the winter of 1844 in Russia, this is the story of how Mikhail gradually became a Russian literary giant and even a spiritual leader of the entire European continent.
