Chapter 113: Encountering the hexagram again, a third-grade opportunity

The next day.

Outside Yaoguang Tower.

The Crown Prince, the Second Prince, the Sixth Prince and their entourage welcomed Zhou Haochen.

"Thirteenth brother, this trip depends entirely on you!"

"Don't worry, my three royal brothers."

Zhou Haochen spoke calmly, with a hint of confidence in his tone.

After developing the Thunder Eyes, he no longer felt that the Endless Dark World could cause him any trouble.

Everyone filed in. As soon as Zhou Haochen stepped onto the first floor of the Yaoguang Tower, he felt a darkness in front of his eyes and could not see anything.

The divine consciousness was released, and he was able to sense the bronze man roaming in the darkness.

"Thirteenth brother, these bronze men have bones of steel and iron. They can only be repelled, not destroyed. When fighting head-on, be careful of their brute force."

"Thank you for the reminder, Sixth Brother."

The endless dark world in the first three floors of the Yaoguang Tower did not have a serious suppression on divine consciousness, so Zhou Haochen did not need to take any action at all. The prince and others took Zhou Haochen through the first three floors.

After passing the third level, the darkness dissipated and light returned.

Two passages appeared in front of Zhou Haochen.

The passage on the left leads to the upper level of the Yaoguang Tower.

As for the passage on the right, it is a light gate leading to the reward treasury.

"Thirteenth brother, in Yaoguang Tower, you can choose a treasure every three floors. Each person has only one chance. We have already chosen."

"Please wait for me for a moment, my three brothers!"

With a flash of his figure, Zhou Haochen stepped into the light gate in the right passage.

Walking into the light gate, behind the light gate is a spacious stone hall. In the stone hall stand four wooden shelves, on top of which are written elixirs, magic weapons, skills, and natural treasures.

In front of the wooden shelf, there is a white light curtain composed of a formation, protecting the treasures in the wooden shelf.

Zhou Haochen glanced at the things on the shelf and at a glance, he didn't see any treasures that were too precious.

It’s not that the rewards from Yaoguang Tower are too bad, but that Zhou Haochen’s vision is too high.

As a prince, even an unpopular one, the resources he has access to far exceed those of ordinary people.

What’s more, after traveling through time, Zhou Haochen had access to a heaven-defying treasure like the Bagua Map, and he obtained a series of dazzling opportunities.

Ordinary treasures have long been out of his sight.

After looking around, Zhou Haochen chose the Xiaohuandan from the wooden medicine shelf.

Xiao Huan Dan can improve one's cultivation, but the effect is average. Its advantage lies in its universality, and it can be used by any larger cultivation system.

Zhou Haochen stretched out his hand, and a white light curtain flashed. Sensing Zhou Haochen's breath, the door, which had never taken a treasure before, took the initiative to open a hole and allowed Zhou Haochen to take the Xiao Huan Dan.

The moment Xiao Huandan was obtained, a powerful repulsive force burst out from the white light curtain.

The next second, the force of space shift fell on Zhou Haochen.

The world was spinning before his eyes, and Zhou Haochen was moved out of the stone hall.

Afterwards, Zhou Haochen reunited with the prince and others and continued on their way up.

After passing the sixth floor, you will encounter the second reward treasury.

The treasures in the second treasury were of much higher quality. The treasure house in Zhou Haochen's sea of ​​consciousness was shining with golden light, and two strange phenomena appeared.

[Water and Earth: The best hexagram, choose the technique, the fifth secret book on the third level, get a fourth-grade opportunity, very auspicious.]

[Shui Tian: Middle-upper hexagram, choose other rewards, get a sixth-grade opportunity, slightly auspicious. ]

Fourth-grade opportunity!

Zhou Haochen raised his eyebrows. Although the fourth-grade opportunity was incomparable to the second-grade opportunity, it stood out from the crowd in the second treasure house and was at least two levels stronger than other treasures.

Zhou Haochen did not hesitate and took the fourth-grade opportunity according to the guidance of the hexagram.

[Tian Xie Ning Sha Jin: A martial arts secret method that integrates evil energy into martial arts, increasing the power of martial arts by several times. However, this method also has side effects, which will cause evil energy to enter the body and damage the physical body.]

Zhou Haochen read the introduction of Tianxie Ningsha Jin and suddenly understood.

That's it!

This is a very rare martial arts secret technique.

When practicing this method, you cannot directly perform it as a martial art.

This method needs to be combined with other martial arts to integrate the evil spirit into the martial arts and enhance its power.

This technique is equivalent to the function of an amplifier.

Moreover, there are side effects.

Evil spirits entering the body will cause damage to the physical body.

For a warrior, the physical body is the foundation. If the physical body is damaged, it will not only affect the potential, but also cause irreparable harm.

Zhou Haochen could see at a glance the pros and cons of the secret method of Tianxie Ningsha Jin.

The advantage is that it is extremely powerful and very versatile.

The disadvantage is that it affects the potential of the warrior and damages the physical body.

But for Zhou Haochen, there are only advantages and no disadvantages.

Because he is a rare dual cultivator in a thousand years, not only is he a martial arts practitioner, but he is also a Taoist practitioner.

The fourth realm of Taoist cultivation, the Wanxiang Realm, requires condensing the Tiangang and Disha and integrating them into magic power.

The aftereffects of Tianxie Ningsha Jin are, for Taoist practitioners, a part of their practice.

Zhou Haochen guessed that the warrior who created the secret technique of Tianxie Ningsha Jin might have referred to the practice of Taoist practitioners.

According to the description of Tianxie Ningsha Jin, the stronger the evil energy integrated, the better the amplification effect.

"I still need a top-level evil spirit!"

Zhou Haochen said with emotion.

After leaving the treasury and entering the seventh floor of the Yaoguang Tower, the prince and others looked solemn.

"Thirteenth brother, it's up to you now."

"From now on, you are our eyes."

Am I your eyes?
Zhou Haochen always felt that these words were weird and he didn't know how to complain about them.

With a thought, Zhou Haochen used his Thunder Eyes.

Invisible electromagnetic waves spread out in all directions.

All of a sudden, the thirty-six bronze men on the seventh floor were found.

It's like projecting the picture in Zhou Haochen's mind onto a monitor. He would definitely see densely packed light spots moving quickly.

"At three quarters past the hour, fifty feet!"

Zhou Haochen quickly reported the location. The prince was slightly stunned, then immediately reacted and slapped out with his palm.

A condensed palm print shadow blasted out, mixed with a terrifying gust of wind.

The next second, a roar sounded!
Not only the prince, but everyone else realized it as well.

The prince hit it!
Obviously, Zhou Haochen sensed the bronze man's every move.

The movements of the bronze man can be detected from fifty feet away.

This perception...

hiss--

Everyone gasped.

In the darkness, the Sixth Prince's eyes were burning, his mood was excited and he made up his mind secretly.

He needs to continue to increase investment in his program for training the blind.

The intuition of a blind man is indeed far superior to that of ordinary people.

Thirteenth Brother is the best example!

"At midnight, thirty feet!"

"4:45 zhang at midnight!"

……

Under Zhou Haochen's command, the prince and others took action and knocked the bronze man in the dark away.

The journey was smooth sailing and we didn't encounter any trouble at all.

A quarter of an hour later.

Everyone's eyes changed as they looked at Zhou Haochen through the endless dark world of the seventh layer.

Originally, we invited Zhou Haochen to give it a try as a last resort.

But the result was beyond everyone's expectations.

It's like cheating!
Taking one step forward, everyone arrived at the eighth floor of Yaoguang Tower.

……

Royal palace, royal garden.

Today, Emperor Qianyuan rarely did not review memorials. He was having a drink in the Imperial Garden. Next to him sat a man in a dragon robe, whose eyebrows were somewhat similar to Emperor Qianyuan's.

This majestic man in a dragon robe is Emperor Qianyuan's brother, the current Grand Master of the Imperial Clan - Prince Ning. "I heard that Prince Ning has been collecting information about the Beidou Secret Realm these days." Emperor Qianyuan suddenly asked after taking a sip.

"My Royal Brother is so busy, I didn't expect that even my little trick couldn't be hidden from my Royal Brother."

"Why, the treasure you need, King Ning, in the Beidou Secret Realm?"

"My royal brother, I have heard a secret story. During the reign of Emperor Wen of Jin, the Jin Dynasty was at its peak. An alien presented the Samsara Seal to the emperor. After receiving it, the emperor was very pleased and appointed the alien as the Imperial Master."

"After that, the fortunes of the Jin Dynasty went downhill. After Emperor Wen of Jin passed away, the Samsara Seal also disappeared."

"There are many rumors in the world that the Samsara Seal was used as a burial object by Emperor Wen of Jin and buried in his mausoleum."

"The Beidou Secret Realm is the legendary location of the tomb of Emperor Wen of Jin."

Prince Ning did not hide anything and told everyone the news he had gathered over the past few days.

Emperor Qianyuan's eyes were calm as he asked in a deep voice, "Prince Ning's target is the Samsara Seal?"

"Although the Earth Mother Tree was saved after this incident, I don't know how long it will take for it to return to its peak state."

"My royal brother is thinking that the Samsara Seal is the most precious treasure of the Queen Mother Hou Tu. If it is nourished by the Samsara Seal, the Earth Mother Divine Tree will be able to recover soon."

When Emperor Qianyuan heard Prince Ning's selfless thoughts, he did not continue to ask about the matter.

"Today, the prince and others are going to break into the Yaoguang Pagoda."

"What do you think their chances of winning are?"

“Less than halfway done!”

"Haha, these little guys are really ambitious!" Emperor Qianyuan laughed.

"The Jin Dynasty's Beidou Secret Realm is a secret realm that truly selects geniuses."

"Yaoguang Tower, only the true martial arts genius can pass through."

"Crown Prince, you are a little bit behind. The Second Prince and the Sixth Prince both have talents in Taoism, so they are not suitable for entering the Yaoguang Tower."

"As for the Thirteenth Prince, please forgive me for being frank, but taking shortcuts is ultimately a small path."

"Who do you think is good, Prince Ning?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Ning hesitated and pondered for a moment.

"In terms of martial arts talent, among the younger generation of the court, it must be the eleventh prince and the concubine's son of Marquis Linjiang."

Emperor Qianyuan naturally knew that the eleventh prince possessed the sacred body of dragon and elephant.

As for the illegitimate son of Marquis Linjiang mentioned by Prince Ning, Emperor Qianyuan thought about it carefully and understood the identity of the person he was talking about - Fang Dongyun.

"I heard that Marquis Linjiang and this bastard don't have a good relationship." Emperor Qianyuan said jokingly.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Prince Ning lowered his eyelids, fixed his eyes, and said.

"The Linjiang Marquis's house is not peaceful, my royal brother will punish him."

Before Dayu, the inheritance of titles for meritorious officials was managed by the Ministry of Personnel.

When Dayu was first established, Taizu felt that the Ministry of Personnel had too much power, so he handed over the assessment of the inheritance of meritorious officials' titles to the Ministry of Clan Affairs.

Prince Ning originally didn't want to get involved in the trivial matters of Marquis Linjiang and his son.

But since Emperor Qianyuan mentioned it today, Prince Ning had to figure out what Emperor Qianyuan was thinking.

Do you want Fang Dongyun to inherit the title of Marquis of Linjiang?

Fang Dongyun is the second prince's sworn brother.

The Marquis of Linjiang was very close to the prince.

Did Emperor Qianyuan's statement simply reflect his admiration for Fang Dongyun, or his dissatisfaction with the crown prince?

Just as Prince Ning was thinking, suddenly, a clear bell sound came from the Beidou Secret Realm.

The sound of the bell is so loud that it can be heard clearly even outside the secret realm.

The Huangzhong and Dalu bells rang for nine times before they stopped.

"Hahaha!"

"Prince Ning, it seems you guessed wrong!"

"Chen'er and the others have reached the summit!"

A faint smile appeared on Emperor Qianyuan's face.

The bell rang nine times, which was a strange phenomenon that only occurred when one reached the top of the tower.

During the Jin Dynasty, every time the bell rang nine times, it meant the birth of a genius and all officials congratulated him.

Surprise filled Prince Ning's eyes.

"Breaked through!"

"Could it be the Thirteenth Prince?"

A strong curiosity emerged in Prince Ning's heart.

The Thirteenth Prince, whom he had never taken seriously before, seemed to be a hundred times better than the rumors said.

……

Yaoguang Tower.

Ninth floor exit.

Zhou Haochen sighed slightly in his heart.

He hasn't even put in any effort yet, and he's passed?

After passing the ninth floor, a light gate appeared, just like the third and sixth floors, and behind the light gate was a reward treasure house.

"Thirteenth brother, you are the one who has made the greatest contribution on this trip, so you should be the first to choose the treasure." The Sixth Prince said with a smile.

When the Crown Prince and the Second Prince heard this, they immediately glared at him and secretly said that something was wrong.

Lao Liu was really cunning and said what they wanted to say first.

"Old Six is ​​right. Thirteenth Brother, you go first."

"Since the three royal brothers are so humble, I will refuse the offer."

As he spoke, Zhou Haochen walked into the light curtain.

After entering the treasure house, he felt a burning sensation between his brows. In the Bagua diagram, golden light shone brightly and two hexagrams appeared.

[Water and Wind: The best hexagram. Choose the fifth treasure on the second floor of the Heavenly Materials and Treasures area. You will get a third-grade opportunity. Very auspicious.]

[Fire Earth: Middle to upper hexagram, choose other treasures, get a fourth-grade opportunity, slightly auspicious. ]

When Zhou Haochen saw the two hexagrams, his eyes lit up.

It’s a third-grade opportunity!
Sure enough, the rewards in the third treasury far exceeded those in the previous two treasuries.

The guaranteed chance is always level four!

There is even a third-grade opportunity!
Zhou Haochen didn't think twice and followed the instructions of the hexagram, heading towards the area of ​​natural resources and treasures.

The treasure indicated by the hexagram is an exquisite jade bottle.

Zhou Haochen took the jade bottle and opened the stopper. Instantly a cold breath flowed along Zhou Haochen's hand and into his body.

The breath was so cold that it seemed to freeze his blood.

Although the body is cold, the heart is hot.

Zhou Haochen recognized the treasure the moment he touched it.

Evil spirit!

This is evil!

To be rated as a third-grade opportunity, it must be undoubtedly a top-level evil spirit.

After taking a closer look, Zhou Haochen recognized the origin of this evil aura.

Nine Netherworld Yin Wind Evil!
According to legend, the evil spirit lingering in the depths of the Nine Netherworld is extremely rare, gloomy and cold.

According to Dayu's classification standard for evil spirits, the Nine Nether Yin Wind Evil is a first-grade evil spirit, and it is the top one among the first-grade evil spirits.

Zhou Haochen now understood why Tianxie Ningsha Jin was rated as a fourth-grade opportunity.

Most likely, it’s because of the linkage with the Nine Nether Yin Wind Evil.

After putting the cork in the bottle, Zhou Haochen left the treasure house with a smile.

After that, the prince took the lead and entered the treasury, full of expectations.

No one knew what price the crown prince paid, but he actually persuaded the second prince and the sixth prince to let him enter the treasury first.

Zhou Haochen thought secretly in his heart, and after a moment, the prince walked out with a disappointed expression.

After that, the second prince came in, and the expression on his face was exactly the same as that of the crown prince.

"Thirteenth brother, do you know what the eldest and second brothers are looking for?" The Sixth Prince said in a low voice, his voice becoming a line.

"Please Sixth Brother, help me solve this puzzle."

"It is rumored that Emperor Wen of Jin obtained the legendary immortal artifact Samsara Seal. After Emperor Wen of Jin passed away, the whereabouts of Samsara Seal is unknown, but it is very likely to be in the Beidou Secret Realm."

A hint of surprise appeared on Zhou Haochen's face.

Is there a reincarnation seal in the Beidou secret realm?
Why is there no response to the mark of his reincarnation seal?
