Chapter 317: The Spine of Creation, Li Changqing is Willing to Be a Gun Hearing Jiajing's words, a gleam of light flashed in Li Changqing's eyes. He naturally understood what this meant. "Of course, there are many more secrets about the Spine of Creation." Li Changqing explained with a smile, as if he had not noticed Jiajing's true purpose. The Spine of Creation, is this the secret of the mortal bone? Thinking in his heart, Jiajing silently memorized the name. "I think you must have seen it before," Li Changqing paused for a moment and said: "When the human world and the immortal world were not yet clearly separated, the heavens could be traversed freely without the need to survive a catastrophe." "Afterwards, the human world and the fairy world were separated by the ancestor. Naturally, after the rules were perfected, one needed to transcend the tribulation and become a fairy." "But sir, you have also seen that the reason why the rules of the two worlds can be perfect is entirely because the ancestor created and supplemented them with his own flesh and blood and life force." "Now that we have the Creation Spine of the First Ancestor, it means that we have the origin of both worlds in our hands." "And by opening the passage to the fairyland through the Spine of Creation, it means that the road to heaven we are walking on is the road we walked before the two worlds were formed." "We are of the same origin!"
"This means that as long as one enters the Immortal Realm through the Spine of Creation, one can naturally become an Immortal." Hearing this, Jiajing saw that Li Changqing still didn't intend to get to the point, so he simply said, "After collecting all the Creation Spine, how can we open up the passage to the fairyland, Master Li?" "Heh," Li Changqing chuckled, and then said seriously: "Sir, I can't tell you this." "I think with the power of the Ming Palace, it won't be difficult to collect all the spines of creation." "But the problem is, if I tell the secret of opening the passage to the fairyland, then I think my existence will be of no value to the Ming Palace." "Of course, I am not saying this because I doubt the character of the Ming Palace, but out of my own considerations." "Please forgive me for being an insecure person." "If it's just a story, Master Li wants me to risk my life, stand firmly on your side, and help you seize power in the academy. That's a bit too much." "I really can't hide anything from you, sir." Seeing that Jiajing had already seen through his purpose, which was to participate in the power seizure in the academy, Li Changqing did not shy away from it and directly took out a blood contract. "Mr. Li is willing to sign a Heavenly Blood Contract with you, sir." "As long as the Ming Palace helps me control the academy, then I will share the secret of the Spine of Creation with you, sir. Not only that, we will also share the authority to enter the passage to the fairyland in the future!" "Both sides will prosper and suffer together!" Looking at the Heavenly Dao Blood Contract on the table, Jiajing narrowed his eyes, and then his heart moved, and he said: "I am me, and the Ming Palace is the Ming Palace. I cannot make my own decisions on behalf of the palace." "The contents of this blood contract need to be changed." Hearing Jiajing's words, Li Changqing frowned instinctively. It's not that he saw any clues, but he felt that Jiajing was too cunning, mean and ungrateful. She knew very well that the reason she approached him for cooperation was because of the Ming Palace behind him, and she had shown so much sincerity, even sharing the secret of the Spine of Creation with him, but in the end, all she got in return was his support alone! He naturally understood that Jiajing did not want to drag down the Ming Palace behind him. To be more precise, he wanted to have an extra option in future struggles instead of risking everything and tying himself to death. In other words, if he loses a fight in the future, the Ming Palace can withdraw at any time.
As for the senior members of the White Horse Academy, they would never turn against the Ming Palace over such a matter. In the end, they would be the only ones who would become the victim. To put it bluntly, we can share wealth, but not adversity. Before, when the other party had not revealed his identity, he had shown all the kindness he had shown him, but he had totally ignored any friendship. He was truly a cold, selfish, and greedy person! "Heh," Li Changqing suppressed his unhappiness and chuckled, saying, "Partners who have no value in cooperation are meant to be abandoned, aren't they?" "I understand your concerns, sir. I will definitely ensure that I will not fail when I participate in the seizure of power in the academy in the future!" "I agree to your request, sir." "Mr. Li is a man of courage," Jiajing did not care about the sarcasm in Li Changqing's words. He forced a drop of blood out of his fingertips, used his mind as a pen, and signed his name on the blood contract. "Buzz!" The moment the Heavenly Dao Blood Contract was signed, it was split into two, one for Jiajing and one for Li Changqing. Looking at the blood contract floating in front of him, Jiajing took a look and put it into his storage ring. The main reason why he asked to change "Ming Wangfu" to his own name was because he himself had nothing to do with the royal family of the ancient Suzaku Dynasty except that they both had the surname Zhu. Once I agree, it will be impossible to sign a blood contract with a force that has nothing to do with me. If before, Jiajing had only an indifferent attitude towards the banner of the Ming Palace, then now, Jiajing needs to borrow this tiger skin and wave the banner. Just because of this "Spine of Creation" he was also very interested. After the Ming Dynasty conquers the world of immortal cultivation in the future, it will naturally continue to expand endlessly. If in the future, all cultivators in the Ming Dynasty who have broken through to the Mahayana stage can enter the fairyland and become immortals without having to go through tribulations, then the progress of conquering the fairyland will definitely be accelerated a lot. But before that, he must first get from Li Changqing the method of entering the fairyland from the "Spine of Creation". Otherwise everything is just empty talk! Therefore, we still have to continue to wave the banner of the Ming Palace. "Mr. Zhu, I wish us a pleasant cooperation." Li Changqing picked up the teacup, replaced the wine with tea, and drank it all in one gulp. Although there were many unsatisfactory details during the process, the purpose of this trip was achieved anyway. Using the Spine of Creation as a bargaining chip in his hand, he successfully tied this "Mr. Zhu Cong" to his chariot. As for what "Zhu Cong" said, that he had nothing to do with the Ming Palace, Li Changqing didn't care. I just thought that this "Mr. Zhu Cong" just wanted the palace to withdraw after the incident. However, since he agreed to participate, he would definitely be able to use the power of the Ming Palace in the future! Looking at Li Changqing's confident look. However, Jiajing had a new plan in mind. He thought of the three spines of creation in his hands, and wondered whether he should tell Li Changqing about this. "This Li Changqing still has many secrets." Thinking of the Spine of Creation in his hand, Jiajing's mind unconsciously thought of the process of the evolution of the sandbox world just now. "How did Li Changqing know about this 'Spine of Creation'? Most importantly, if this thing is so important, why hasn't there been any rumors about it in the world of immortal cultivation?"
"Huang Feng secretly hid a piece of it in the treasure house of the Yellow Wind Valley. Could it be that Huang Feng also knows the secret of this 'Spine of Creation'?" "And judging from Li Changqing's expression, he doesn't seem to know that there is a spine in the Yellow Wind Valley's treasure house." "Otherwise, Yellow Wind Valley will definitely not be able to stay!" As he thought, Jiajing couldn't help rubbing his fingers gently, which was his habitual action when he was thinking about something. Seeing Jiajing's expression, Li Changqing was very sharp. He was about to get up and say goodbye, but he held back and waited quietly for Jiajing to think. The next moment, Jiajing's eyes flickered slightly. "I remember that Huang Feng's second daughter also entered the White Horse Academy. Among the many sects around Sifang City, only the Daming Immortal Sect and the Yellow Wind Valley had simple and clean backgrounds." "At the beginning, Li Changqing wanted to find bait to deal with the sectarian forces that the other three branches of the academy had planted in the territory belonging to the Li family. In the end, he chose Daming and gave up the Yellow Wind Valley." "So I judged that Huang Feng's second daughter entered the White Horse Academy and was probably not from the middle three veins of the Li family." (Note: See Chapter 127 for details.) "Otherwise, there would be no need for Li Changqing to go far away." "Later, Li Changqing took action to destroy all the surrounding sects including the Huangfeng Valley. This further confirmed that behind Huang Feng are the other two sects of the academy..." Jiajing's mind turned quickly. Thinking of this, Jiajing's expression darkened slightly. "If that's the case, then the spine in the Huangfeng Valley treasure house might have been collected by someone from the academy, or it might have been prepared by Huang Feng to be presented to someone from a certain lineage in the academy." "In this case, there are only two situations left." "First, this thing was asked by the people in the academy to find Huang Feng," Jiajing shook his head in his heart, "This is impossible. Such a confidential thing, even the people in the academy have to be cautious." "Besides, if even the people in the academy don't know where this thing is, it is even more impossible for Huang Feng, who was born a bandit, to know it. That leaves only the second possibility." "This thing was obtained by Huang Feng by chance, or maybe he learned about the existence of the Spine of Creation by chance and wanted to use it as a bargaining chip." "It's a pity that everything happened too quickly. Before he could go find the supporter that his second daughter had found in the academy, he was involved in the struggle among the various sects within the academy and was crushed to pieces." "I think even if my guess is a little different from the truth, it won't be too far off." In a flash, Jiajing had guessed the origin of the first vertebra in his hand. "As I recall, Huang Feng had one son and two daughters," Jiajing rubbed his fingers gently, "and the eldest daughter married the leader of the Qingyuan Immortal Sect as a Taoist partner!" "The Qingyuan Immortal Sect has been destroyed, and its eldest daughter should have died... It doesn't matter whether she is dead or not." "My second daughter entered the White Horse Academy. My youngest son was born with an extraordinary destiny. He was noticed by the elders of the Xiaoshushan Immortal Sect and was brought to the Central Plains to join the Shushan Sword Sect, a major sect in the Central Plains..." (Note: See Chapter 68 for details) "The key now is whether Huang Feng has told the secret to his second daughter and youngest son." "Huang Feng's second daughter entered the academy and got mixed up with a descendant of the Zhou family, the second-ranked family in the three major veins." "The Shushan Sword Sect, as Li Changqing said, is the second largest sect among the top three sects in the academy, and a super sect under the Zhong family." "One is second among the middle three meridians, and the other is second among the upper three meridians." "If Huang Feng tells these two children the secret of the 'Spine of Creation', then they will definitely use it as a bargaining chip to retaliate against Li Changqing and the Ming Dynasty. Regardless of whether this possibility occurs, I must make plans early." "However, I will not stay in the Daming Immortal Sect for a long time to prevent others from taking revenge..."
After some thought, Jiajing finally made a decision, and then he looked up at Li Changqing. "Sir, do you still have any doubts?" Li Changqing touched the head of the black cat in his arms and asked with a smile. "Since we have signed a blood contract and we are partners, there are some things I will not hide from you." As he spoke, Jiajing raised his hand comfortably under Li Changqing's puzzled gaze. The next moment, he saw a bone floating on his palm that looked just like an ordinary mortal's spine. If it’s not the Spine of Creation, then what is it! "What is this?!" Seeing this scene, Li Changqing's pupils suddenly contracted and he looked at Jiajing in disbelief. Of course, at this moment Jiajing only took out one piece, which was enough to illustrate the problem, and the other two pieces were kept. It’s not that I feel I can’t face Li Changqing. After all, one of the pieces was obtained from Li Changqing. However, Li Changqing's Spine of Creation is a serious matter, as it involves his future plan to stab the academy's base, and it cannot be exposed. The third piece obtained from the moon could be explained away with some excuse, but it was not necessary. The reason why he showed the spine obtained from Huangfeng Valley was just to let Li Changqing stand in front and take the blame for the Daming Immortal Sect. Seeing Li Changqing's expression change slightly, as if he had thought of something, Jiajing remained calm and briefly recounted the whole story of how he obtained this section of the Spine of Creation from the treasure house of the Yellow Wind Valley. "At first I was just curious. It's just an ordinary mortal spine. Huang Feng couldn't possibly use a spiritual weapon box to hold it." "If something has some special meaning to him personally, there is no need to use a spiritual vessel to contain it." "I stayed here with doubts. It was not until today that I realized the origin of this item." "Sir, you are so cunning." Li Changqing looked at the Spine of Creation in front of him, his face slightly tense, and said: "If it is really as you said, then Huang Feng's children can't be kept." "One is second among the top three meridians in the academy, and the other is second among the middle three meridians. Regardless of whether Huang Feng's two daughters know this or not, we must not leave them here until we have collected enough Spine of Creation." "I think so too." Jiajing nodded slightly, and then said: "It should be some time before the power struggle in the academy begins. Next, I plan to go into seclusion again." "The comfort of the Great Ming Immortal Sect is now in your hands." As he spoke, Jiajing generously pushed the Spine of Creation back to Li Changqing. "Snap." Li Changqing grabbed the Spine of Creation and was also shocked by Jiajing's behavior. He didn't expect that after knowing the function of the Spine of Creation, the other party could still be so free and easy. Such broad-mindedness and courage are astonishing. Of course, what he didn't know was that Jiajing was an emperor, and the emperor's nature was result-oriented, knowing how to make choices and maximize benefits. Moreover, Jiajing had two Creation Ridges in his hands. Therefore, if Li Changqing wants to obtain the complete Spine of Creation, he will never be able to get around Jiajing. In this case, he would use Li Changqing, the spine of creation, to take the brunt of the attack for him and protect the Daming Immortal Sect at the same time. Moreover, with Li Changqing around, the Daming Immortal Sect will also develop rapidly, and it can be said that it has perfectly achieved its original goal. After all, the next thing to do is to establish a relationship between the Daming Immortal Sect and the Mingri Tower run by Lu Fang, expand their influence, and enter the Central Plains openly. This is the real thing to do. As for the Spine of Creation, that is still too far away.
Since Li Changqing enjoys doing this, let him do it. "Don't worry, sir. Since we have already signed a blood pact, the Ming Dynasty is my ally and I will naturally take good care of it." Li Changqing bowed solemnly and made a serious promise. He was not surprised that Jiajing wanted to go into seclusion. After all, the Mahayana stage is only one step away from ascending, and all Mahayana stage people who have reached this stage must prepare for the tribulation. Moreover, Jiajing was only in the early stage of Mahayana period, and there were still two small realms. In the future, there would be many unexpected events as the academy fought for power. For him, the stronger Jiajing is, the better! "..." (End of this chapter)
