Chapter 361 The Secret of the Desolate Ancient Domain! The Mysterious Eyeball!
Once an empire rises, the key issues that need to be considered are nothing more than two points.
Firstly, expanding territory.
Secondly, to consolidate the country's power.
But none of these points are difficult for the Great Xia Dynasty.
Don't forget, even the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty has to address the Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect as "Master Sister".
With this relationship in place, the two forces are essentially in cahoots.
Furthermore, Burning Flame Valley is an affiliated force of Cloud Mist Sect, and Tang Huo'er is the biological daughter of Valley Master Tang Zhen.
With the Burning Flame Valley serving as a link between the two major forces, their relationship has become even closer.
Everyone knows that if they want to deal with the Great Xia Dynasty, they must be prepared to face the Yunlan Sect.
In this way, even if Tang Huo'er doesn't deliberately eliminate dissidents and remove potential threats, no one will be able to shake the throne of the Great Xia Dynasty.
As for expanding territory?
In just six months, the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty expanded from the original part of the Central Plains to most of the Central Plains, as well as the eastern and southern parts of the continent!
In other words, apart from Zhongzhou, the entire continent is now under the control of the Great Xia Dynasty and the Yunlan Sect.
But behind closed doors, with Chu Yang around, these two forces are always one family.
Even in Zhongzhou, less than a quarter of the area was not included in the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty.
This area is divided into two parts: half is the territory of the Tianfu Alliance and the other half is the territory of the seven ancient clans.
There is also a small area belonging to the Sound Valley. This was specifically instructed by Chu Yang that as long as the Sound Valley does not interfere in outside affairs, they should be allowed to continue to live in seclusion.
The Great Xia Dynasty gave the seven ancient tribes ample face and did not invade their vassal territories.
They also did not make things difficult for Xiao Yan, allowing the newly established Tianfu Alliance to develop freely.
However, compared to the original storyline, the Tianfu Alliance no longer has the three major allies: Burning Flame Valley, Pill Tower, and Flower Sect.
However, under pressure from the Great Xia Dynasty, both the Wind and Thunder Pavilion and the Heavenly Nether Sect had no choice but to put aside their past grievances and make great concessions to Xiao Yan before joining the Heavenly Mansion Alliance.
Both Wanjian Pavilion and Huangquan Pavilion joined the Tianfu Alliance.
It is worth mentioning that Ice River Valley was completely destroyed by Xiao Yan, and Burning Flame Valley also provided considerable assistance in this matter, after all, Burning Flame Valley and Ice River Valley were sworn enemies.
With their generation's nemesis suddenly rising to prominence and having offended a rapidly emerging new talent, Glacier Valley could only accept its bad luck.
At this point, the landscape of mainland China was completely rewritten.
The Yunlan Sect occupies the Northwest Continent, while the Great Xia Dynasty controls most of the Central Plains and the Southeast Continent.
Besides these, there are only the Tianfu Alliance, the Seven Ancient Clans, and the reclusive Yin Valley.
It is worth mentioning that after the rise of the Great Xia Dynasty, there were no more empires on the continent.
All the empires in the southeastern continent either chose to submit or were wiped out in one fell swoop.
Although the Yunlan Sect did not exert pressure, all the empires in the Northwest Continent spontaneously disintegrated.
After all, even if the Great Xia Dynasty still existed, no emperor would dare to call himself a monarch in the face of it.
In the Dou Qi Continent, there will only be one ruler, and that is the Empress of Great Xia!
Although people had long anticipated that the Chu Emperor would inevitably bring about a change in the continent, and even unleash a bloody storm,
But no one expected that Chu Yang would not personally get involved in any of these events, and would remain completely oblivious to what was happening outside, staying in seclusion deep within the desolate ancient domain.
This brings us to two women who strike fear into the hearts of all the powerful figures on the continent…
Nalan Yanran! Tang Huo'er!
Even setting aside strength, without the two women's methods, the Yunlan Sect and the Great Xia Dynasty could not have ruled the continent so quickly.
However, after the Yunlan Sect took control of the Northwest Continent, Nalan Yanran stepped down as sect leader and handed over the reins to Xiao Xiao. No one knows where she went.
The reason why a large number of powerful individuals still gathered in the Desolate Ancient Domain after Chu Yang appeared was because Chu Yang announced that he would provide ten spots each month for powerful individuals at the Dou Zun realm to compete for.
The ultimate winner can meditate under the Bodhi tree.
Although the Bodhi mind and Bodhi seeds are gone, the opportunity to meditate under the Bodhi tree is still enough to drive countless powerful individuals crazy.
Ten more figures flew out from the direction of the Bodhi tree.
Looking at these people, the countless powerful figures gathered here were filled with envy.
However, due to insufficient strength, they can only wait for the next opportunity.
The Chu Emperor said that everyone only has one chance; once they have grasped the essence, they can no longer participate in the competition.
That's why everyone is fighting so hard for those ten spots; otherwise, they would probably always have been controlled by a small group of people.
However, this time, the ten people did not take advantage of the time while their insights were still fresh to leave, go back to digest them, and try to break through. Instead, they all stopped in mid-air.
After exchanging glances, one of the oldest men stepped forward, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the surrounding crowd, and said:
"Gentlemen, by order of the Chu Emperor, the comprehension of the Bodhi Tree ends here. Everyone must leave the Desolate Ancient Domain within three days!"
"Bodhi Tree and Emperor Chu have both left, and this desolate ancient domain is no longer special."
"Let's hurry up and leave, lest we displease the Chu Emperor!"
After saying that, the old man turned and flew away, and the other nine people also left, leaving countless powerful figures looking at each other in bewilderment.
Some people beat their chests in frustration, angry that they hadn't gone all out in the last competition in order to hide their shortcomings.
Some people shook their heads and sighed, regretting that they were not strong enough to get a share of this opportunity.
But no matter what their feelings were, none of them lingered any longer. In less than half an hour, the once bustling depths of the desolate ancient domain were completely deserted.
No one doubted the old man's words, because they knew that in the present day, no one would dare to use the name of the Chu Emperor to swindle and deceive.
Although everyone was curious as to why the Chu Emperor wanted to expel everyone, could it be that there was some secret hidden in this desolate ancient domain?
But everyone suppressed their curiosity, and no one dared to investigate.
One man's power can dominate the entire continent; this is the essence of it all!
…………
"Eight-Star Dou Sheng..."
Chu Yang felt the power within his body, smiled, and murmured, "Still not enough!"
The voice of the Bodhi Tree Spirit echoed in his mind, "Master, your strength is now unmatched on the continent."
Chu Yang shook his head and said, "There is naturally no threat on this Dou Qi Continent."
"But in other places, my strength is not enough to run rampant."
He was referring, of course, to the void of the world of the gods.
Although Chu Yang, now a god, is not afraid of king-level void creatures, it is still unknown who will win if he faces an emperor-level creature.
However, the tree spirit thought Chu Yang was referring to the Great Thousand World, and couldn't help but feel a longing for it.
Although his intelligence is just beginning to awaken, his past memories are not diminished in the slightest.
Having witnessed the changing times of the Dou Qi Continent and traversed countless years, this continent holds almost no secrets for the Tree Spirit.
In the past six months, the research team in the Soul Palace has overcome all the difficulties in developing the universe and computers.
Before leaving the pass, Chu Yang took the Program Pill, making the Tree Spirit the vessel for Pangu.
However, the tree spirit and Pangu still need a fusion process, but it won't take too long, just a few days will be enough.
Once the Tree Spirit has merged with Pangu and learned of the existence of the Soul Palace and the myriad worlds, its mindset will likely undergo a significant change.
Chu Yang gently raised his hand, and an ancient book appeared, his soul flowing into it.
Then, a vast amount of soul power emanated from him and instantly enveloped the entire Desolate Ancient Domain!
Some powerful humans who were on the edge of the ancient domain and had not had time to leave fled at top speed, their hearts pounding with fear and their faces pale.
The feeling that made their very souls tremble, as if they were being suppressed by a great mountain, made them dare not linger for even a moment longer.
They finally understood why Chu Yang had expelled everyone.
This power is too strong. Not to mention them, even if a Dou Zun expert came, he would probably not be able to handle it.
Most importantly, the soul pressure they just experienced was clearly not directed at them; it was merely the residual force that nearly caused them serious injury.
Chu Yang closed his eyes and used his soul power to search every inch of the Desolate Ancient Domain, not even missing the underground.
After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes and withdrew the soul power that had permeated the entire desolate ancient domain.
As Chu Yang put away the ancient book, his figure slowly faded away.
This is not just a simple afterimage, but an image captured by time and space at extreme speed!
Or rather...
This is Chu Yang from a few seconds ago. If he wanted, he could imbue this image with a wisp of his soul power, making it last forever.
In a corner of the desolate ancient domain, Chu Yang's figure slowly emerged.
There seemed to be nothing unusual here, but as Chu Yang gently brushed his hand across the ground, a layer of sand was shaved away, and the dust dispersed, revealing a deep pit.
A bead lay conspicuously in the pit, or more accurately...
That looks like an eyeball!
His eyes were crystal clear, as if starlight flowed within them, and they were filled with the aura of the Holy Spirit.
Chu Yang was stunned for a moment, then took the eyeball into his hand. It felt similar to glass, but he could feel the surging power within it.
"This thing...could it be the eye of the Heavenly Evil God?"
Chu Yang guessed one possibility, but felt it was somewhat unreasonable.
The name "Heavenly Evil God" is not given lightly. He possesses evil power, and his eyes are the source of his power. How could they possibly be filled with holy energy?
and many more!
Chu Yang's pupils suddenly contracted.
Amajigami's power is evil, but not all of his predecessors were like that!
The term "extraterrestrial evil race" is merely a general term used in the Great Thousand Worlds, but these extraterrestrial demons refer to themselves as the Holy Race.
Compared to the people of the Great Thousand World, Chu Yang knew more.
The extraterrestrial evil race is indeed as its name suggests, originating from beyond the realm, not born in the Great Thousand Worlds, and having no relation to the Three Thousand Worlds beneath the Great Thousand Worlds.
They come from another world, or rather...
The Heavenly Evil God led the remnants of his clan to this place!
However, what Chu Yang knew was that the ancestors of the extraterrestrial evil race actually bore the name of the holy race, but their methods and powers leaned towards evil.
Eyes filled with the aura of the Holy Spirit, though there are some issues.
Moreover, since its eyes are filled with holy energy, why would they cause the magical beasts of the entire Desolate Ancient Domain to turn into ferocious beasts generation after generation?
This thing is a bit strange. Chu Yang pondered it for a long time but couldn't figure out its secret. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he took out the Klein bottle.
After glancing at the Klein bottle and then at the mysterious eyeball, Chu Yang narrowed his eyes and then threw the eyeball directly into the bottle opening.
The Klein bottle suddenly shone brightly, and a final energy storm swept out, enveloping the entire desolate ancient domain in the blink of an eye.
All the ferocious beasts were affected by the energy storm at this moment; the weak died on the spot, and the strong could only struggle to resist.
Fortunately, the storm only lasted for a short while. After the energy storm dissipated, all the ferocious beasts looked up blankly, and their eyes became more lively.
Despite being at the eye of the storm, Chu Yang was not greatly affected, as his Origin Martial True Body easily blocked it.
Chu Yang's eyes lit up as he watched the eyeballs floating out of the Klein bottle.
The aura of the Holy Spirit in those eyes vanished, and the eerie fluctuations that had influenced the ferocious beasts throughout the entire Desolate Ancient Domain also disappeared without a trace.
Instead, a pure and special energy has taken its place.
It is called special because Chu Yang could sense that this energy contained a certain characteristic, yet it was somewhat indescribable.
But he had a familiar feeling, as if...
Chu Yang frowned and pondered for a long time, then his eyes suddenly lit up.
Spirit of the Dimension!
That familiar feeling—wasn't it the same as the image the tree spirit showed him, where the Sound Emperor held the spirit of the plane in his hands?
Supreme Sea!
Chu Yang smiled. He wasn't confident he could condense a Supreme Sea with just the black crystal; he could only make a brief attempt.
But now that we have this eyeball, along with the black crystal, the matter of condensing the source energy into a supreme sea is almost certain.
This eyeball is most likely a remnant of an ancient powerhouse of the Holy Clan, which was then refined into a special treasure by the clan's descendants, enabling it to influence the entire Desolate Ancient Domain.
Chu Yang's attempt was simply because he remembered a characteristic of the Klein bottle...
That is, the Klein bottle has no inside or outside; whatever enters from anywhere will eventually reappear on the outside.
The eyeball was far too sinister, and he dared not absorb the power it contained rashly. So he simply threw it into the Klein bottle to see if he could destroy it through this product of a higher-dimensional world.
Once the eyeball is destroyed, the concentrated power will become pure, which will be more than enough to support him in breaking through to a higher realm.
But unexpectedly, the Klein bottle did not destroy the eyeball; instead, in a sense, it evolved it!
This is truly a delightful surprise!
After putting his eyes away, Chu Yang pondered for a moment, but ultimately decided not to rush to the Northern Desert.
That is the end of the Sound Emperor's footprints, a spatial rift in the desert that may very well connect to the Great Thousand Worlds.
Chu Yang intended to connect the Great Thousand World and the Dou Qi Continent ahead of schedule. After all, it would be a long time before Xiao Yan broke through to the Dou Di realm and found the spatial node connecting the Great Thousand World.
However, the area behind that spatial rift is likely occupied by extraterrestrial evil races, so he does not intend to go there rashly.
Although with his current strength he can contend with a powerhouse at the Great Perfection of the Earthly Sovereign realm, if he were to face a Heavenly Sovereign, he would only have the option of fleeing for his life. (End of Chapter)
