"System, use Qi Luck and Merit points to upgrade the Immortal Artifact Nine Cauldrons!"
In the Great Han city of Chang'an, in the Western regions.
The Imperial Palace, Hall of Heavenly Ascension.
Yang Hao was currently reviewing a memorial from Crown Prince Yang Chen. A few days prior, he had ordered his son to inspect the Great Han territories, assess the implementation of court policies, and observe the lives of the common people. Unexpectedly, Geng Yan and Xian Zhen, who had advanced on two fronts, saw the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty fall to the Black Tortoise Legion led by Xian Zhen. Meanwhile, there was no news from the clearly advantageous Azure Dragon Palace battlefield.
He immediately put down the memorial and sat on the dragon throne, directly commanding the System. His current cultivation realm had reached the Minor Heavenly Venerate realm. The expansion of territory, the casualties of war, and the spiritual energy depletion caused by the opening of sealed lands all urgently required an upgrade to the Qi Luck Nine Cauldrons.
Instantly, with Yang Hao's command, a staggering seven hundred million Qi Luck and Merit points were deducted. A vast amount of Qi Luck and Merit points appeared in the depths of Yang Hao's soul sea, surging into the Samsara Yellow Pagoda and directly converting into national destiny, which was then channeled into the Nine Cauldrons.
Boom!
"Roar!"
In the Imperial Ancestral Temple Hall, the Nine Cauldrons instantly erupted with layers of bronze divine light, impacting all sides of the hall. The divine power surged, covering the imperial palace and Chang'an. The formidable bronze divine light rushed out of Nanshan City and eastward, blanketing the territory of the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty. Countless Black Tortoise soldiers were strenuously advancing eastward, continuously conquering city after city. At the moment the bronze divine light enveloped the entire Great Han territory, in Chang'an City, a golden five-clawed dragon surged from the depths of the imperial palace. Its colossal body surpassed the length of the national destiny dragons of all the immortal dynasties. The enormous body coiled in the sky above Chang'an, the golden dragon exhaling boundless national destiny. In the territory of the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty, the severed national destiny converged towards Chang'an City!
The golden five-clawed dragon grew even more ferociously after devouring the national destiny of the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty!
"Roar~~"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
Accompanied by the resounding echoes of the Nine Cauldrons, the dense national destiny in the void above the Great Han territory merged with the earth, stabilizing all directions. The rich bronze divine light transformed into spiritual energy, nurturing the thick earth to provide for all living beings.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Qi Luck Nine Cauldrons have been successfully upgraded to Level Seven!"
"Ding! Reminder to the host, remaining Qi Luck and Merit points are two hundred and sixty million!"
"Two hundred million?"
Yang Hao raised an eyebrow and pondered, "Upgrade the Barracks by one level!"
Currently, in the Eastern Remote, Southern Marsh, even the Northern Nether and Central Plains, one after another, required the Great Han soldiers to fight on the battlefield. The Barracks and the realm of the soldiers must keep pace to reduce losses and consumption. Sudans Novel Network
"Ding! Reminder to the host, the system will deduct one hundred and fifty million Qi Luck and Merit points for the Barracks level upgrade!"
"Ding! Successfully deducted one hundred and fifty million Qi Luck and Merit points!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Immortal Artifact Barracks have been upgraded to Level Eight!"
"Ding! All soldiers under summoned heroes can enter the Barracks for cultivation. All soldiers who enter the Barracks for cultivation will successfully be promoted to the realm of Top-tier Dao God!"
"Roar roar roar!!"
In a corner of Chang'an City, amidst countless mountains, divine lights surged out from the peaks, flashing in the sky. Many foreign beings were curious but dared not investigate. Above the Barracks, ten divine beast statues, corresponding to the ten great legions, radiated immeasurable golden light, madly absorbing Qi Luck and Merit!
"Ding! Immortal Artifact Weaponry upgraded successfully, reminding the host, the current Barracks level is eight. The soldiers born under the ten great legions to enter the Dao God realm will consume nine hundred million Dao Slaughter Points!"
"Consume nine hundred million Slaughter Points to upgrade the realm of born soldiers!!"
"Ding! The system has successfully deducted nine hundred million Slaughter Points!"
In the void above the Barracks, space shattered. Countless golden lights flowed out from nothingness, followed by dozens of golden rivers condensing, as if descending from the heavens and directly entering the Barracks. Dozens of golden rivers, like divine pillars, propped up the sky above Chang'an City. The ten divine beasts in the Barracks each let out a roar and absorbed several golden rivers of light!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, all soldiers born under the ten great legions have been promoted to the Dao God realm!"
"Ding, reminder to the host, the host currently has seventy-two million nine hundred thousand Dao Slaughter Points remaining."
"System, deduct all Slaughter Points and exchange them for Samsara Power!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, successfully deducted remaining Slaughter Points, obtaining seven hundred and twenty-nine Dao Samsara Power, totaling seven million eight hundred and ninety thousand!"
"Use Samsara Power to summon heroes!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, successfully deducted five million nine hundred thousand Dao Samsara Power, the system is commencing the summon!"
Instantly, behind the Samsara Yellow Pagoda, golden light permeated, condensing into phantoms. The historical scroll unfurled layer by layer, stars shifted like flowing sand, and banners fluttered fiercely!
Hum hum!
It directly stopped at the Five Dynasties period!
On the sixth floor, a carved human figure lit up with streaks of golden light. In the river of history, a figure slowly appeared. The figure was about ten feet tall, holding a long spear in his hand. As the figure moved, he directly entered the fourth layer.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning an unparalleled fierce general from the river of history, Iron Spear - Wang Yanzhang!"
Wang Yanzhang!
Yang Hao's heart tightened. Was this the Wang Yanzhang from historical records or from the novelization?
In historical records, Wang Yanzhang was exceptionally loyal and brave, possessing superhuman strength, leading charges from the front, and even despising Li Cunxu, calling him a cockfighting brat. He fought Li Cunxu across the river over a hundred times.
In the novelization, he was even more terrifying. After Li Cunxiao's death, Wang Yanzhang emerged for the second time, defeating thirty-six Tang generals consecutively and striking fear into all corners!
"View detailed information for Iron Spear - Wang Yanzhang!"
"Name: Wang Yanzhang"
"Dynasty: Five Dynasties period"
"Cultivation: Supreme Profound Venerate First Layer!"
"Cultivation Technique: Demon Suppression Star Shatter!"
"Accompanying Troop Type: Top-tier Troop Type - One hundred thousand elite soldiers!"
Experience: Wang Yanzhang's first appearance saw him become a river pirate. Strangely, perhaps destined to face a trial, Wang Yanzhang once foolishly attempted to rob Li Cunxiao, who was passing by. Wang Yanzhang was no match. Li Cunxiao, cherishing Wang Yanzhang as a brave man, retracted his long spear. Wang Yanzhang, losing his balance, abandoned his horse and spear, resulting in his weapon being smashed into iron hoops.
Facing such a defeat, Wang Yanzhang endured it, went into seclusion, and practiced martial arts diligently. However, he did not seek revenge. He knew the gap between himself and Li Cunxiao could not be bridged by effort alone. He also declared that as long as Li Cunxiao was alive, he would never reappear. Thus, it was only upon learning of Li Cunxiao's death that he emerged for the second time.
When he reappeared, the top heroes of that era had gradually declined. Upon his emergence, he was unparalleled in battle. On the battlefield, Wang Yanzhang fought Liu Zhiyuan for fifty rounds, causing him to spit blood, and killed Xue Adan in a dozen rounds.
