On the other side, the news of Hong Yu being conferred the title of Grand Duke had attracted the attention of many.
In a manor on the outskirts of the capital, there were pavilions, pavilions, mountains, rocks, and gardens as well as a classical garden. In the garden, above a huge artificial lake, stood a man of great stature.
Surprisingly, it was the old Eight Flood Dragon Elephant!
Waves surged up from the surface of the lake, and with a leap, it rose several zhang. However, it was as high as a mountain rock pavilion, and the momentum was extremely terrifying.
His eyes were slightly opened and his expression was calm. His sleeves drooped as he stepped lightly on the water, standing on the waves like a green leaf. Even though there was no end to the turbulent waves, it was difficult for his figure to sway even a little.
Suddenly, he raised both his hands, and countless streams of water flowed against the current beneath his feet, slowly congealing and condensing into an azure whale.
This enormous whale's body was extremely lifelike, as if it was a living being. It shook its head and swung its tail, carrying him as it galloped and galloped above the lake, creating huge waves.
Roar ~ ~
A whale-like roar resounded through the air, shaking the space. A carp of varying sizes suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake, rolling and passing through. It actually stopped under the whale's body, spitting out water from its mouth, forming a huge circular arch.
Under the illumination of the sunlight, the giant whale jumped up and flew through the arch, releasing waves of roars. Old Eighth firmly stood on the head with his arms folded, enjoying the worship of tens of thousands of fish like a sea god.
”Ten thousand fishes spit water as they paid their respects. A berserk whale leaping through the dragon gate. This grandpa's Mad Sea Whale Divine Art is truly a miracle. ” A servant knelt by the lake, exclaiming in praise.
”No, my Raging Whale Divine Art has not been fully mastered yet. If I could transform into an ancient whale, then I would have long since stepped into a higher realm and become like boss.” Second Brother. Ol 'Three's older dukes were all comparable! However, I heard that royal father came out of seclusion this time not only for the sake of the death of that piece of trash, 29 years old, but also to prepare for the Martial Arts Competition in advance. I heard that the most outstanding people in the ceremony can enter the imperial treasury to select a treasure.
Hong Lingtong shook his head. He was very clear about his own cultivation level.
The gathering of water into a whale was not a true divine whale after all. A true divine whale could beat waves of thirty thousand li and was comparable to a Great Sage of the martial way. It was the overlord of the sea whose lifespan was unfathomable and terrifying to the extreme.
However, he already had a direction for his breakthrough. He was only missing a treasure to break through immediately.
Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he asked, ”How is the situation in the palace? Just how is Old Thirty-Six? ”
”The twenty-eighth master was not able to kill him. It was His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor who had acted. That fool was flattering him and had even been conferred the title of 'Duke Yu' by the Heavenly Emperor. ”However, seeing his performance in playing the same tune as the Heavenly Emperor, his witty words came out frequently, revealing the great wisdom he possessed.”
The servant asked very clearly, and after a short while, the remains told the whole story.
”Humph!” Duke Yu is just a joke, this is my royal father's way of killing you. ”
”The eight great dukes, is there a simple one among them? Even I am considered the cream of the crop amongst the hundreds of brothers! The reason why royal father set him as a fool at the heart of the storm is to attract the attention of various forces. You can see that under the jealous machinations of all the brothers, a fool will probably not even know how he died! ”
Hong Long Xiang had a look of disdain on his face: ”But 28 years old is also a waste, he's the same as 29 years old. I helped him stall for time, fixed him up, and even restrained him, but he also missed the opportunity and allowed the fool to live. How is he now?”
”Master!” ”Although he did not kill Old Thirty-Six, he is a cruel man. He actually crippled his own martial arts and removed the True Martial Seal. He is preparing to wash away his shame at the Martial Competition Ceremony!” As the servant said this, the corner of his mouth twitched as if he was shocked by the ruthlessness of the 28th Brother.
”Hmm? ”He cultivates the Demon Mountain Scripture and has killed countless people. He already has a demonic heart and is already on the path to death. But he is actually willing to cripple his own martial arts and practice martial arts. He has great perseverance and courage.” ”Tell him that I will give him one more chance. He will kill Hong Yu during the Martial Arts Competition, and then win the crown from the Martial Competition, and take out a treasure for me from the treasury of the Imperial Palace to do all of this. I can let bygones be bygones, I even have all sorts of rewards to allow him to ascend to the heavens in one step.”
”Yes!” This servant will pass on the message right now! ” The servant was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something, ”Master, I heard that His Majesty, the Celestial Emperor, is preparing to step out of the Two Realms Mountain and lead the Hundred Sons in an army. I heard that in terms of merit and rewards, that prince has contributed the most, and the feudal fiefdom that he has! ”
”Divide the land into different areas, and it will be considered as a reward!” Royal Father is planning to give the Son of Hundred to another so that it won't affect the government and the government! ”
Hong Long Xiang's eyes were filled with shock, ”Legend has it that the Ancient Son of Heaven, Zen, sealed the dukedom of the Empire, was able to rule it for a long time. royal father wants to follow suit, no, royal father is even more ambitious than the other Ancient Son of Heaven. The Three Barbarians of the Eagle Wolf and the Fox were the three Royal Families among the Barbarian people, and they were known as the vicious birds of the wild. The barbarians drank blood, and loved to kill, and although they were human, they still believed in the evil gods of hell. It was common for humans to eat humans, their fathers ate humans, their sons killed their mothers, and so on. They worshipped the strongest power, but they had already left the human realm. ”If royal father can sweep it away one by one, the will of the people of the heavens will surely be one-sided. The art of martial arts can cover the entire world, all the sons of the emperors in all the dynasties!”
”Master, what should we do?” The servant also thought to himself that he could no longer pry into the pros and cons of this kind of state policy.
”How can such a grand matter lack the participation of my eighth brother?!” ”In the past, I was a noble duke, but I only ate food and had no feudal fiefdom. If I could shine during the Battle of Berserkers, I might be able to obtain a large piece of feudal territory and accumulate resources. This will help me to increase my foundation for the struggle for the direct line of descent!” After a long while, Hong Longxiong shook his head and said, ”You can go now. Give the twenty-eighth brother some words and then stare at Ninth and Thirty-six. I have a feeling that if they suddenly join forces, something big will definitely happen!”
”Yes!” This little one understands! ” The servant beat Qian'er to leave.
”...”
As if due to all kinds of undercurrents and schemes, even the weather in Hongjing started to plummet. The sky turned gray as snow began to fall from the sky. The world was covered in a silvery white color, and there was nothing else in the world.
Hong Yu sat cross-legged in the snow, slowly watching the snow covering up all the traces of the arrival of the Celestial Emperor Hongwu. His mind also slowly quieted down.
He was wearing a simple set of clothes, and on his legs was the Thunder Slaying Sword that he had learned since the age of 28. The golden spear particles in his body were like a furnace, radiating heat, and even before the snowflakes landed on him, they were already evaporated by the heat emitted from his body!
Billions of golden lances and godly skills. Within a short period of time, this peerless technique pushed him into the state of being a great master of the 4th level of the Mortal realm. His body had long reached the limit, but the superpowers were normal and couldn't attract any of his attention.
At this moment, his eyes were deep and serene as he looked at the sky. His mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts. No one outside could tell what he was thinking!
