Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1289 - 6: After the Chickens Finish the Grain, the Dogs Lick Up the Flour, and the Lantern Burns Through the Lock

Cheng Tianyou was now vomiting uncontrollably, how much had he drunk?

He had forgotten, Xuanshui Palace and Hanhai Palace had combined their spells, water just kept coming in endlessly.

Zhao Xing had also forgotten about Cheng Tianyou back then, so he just stayed underground.

He was a martial artist, didn't know any escape skills, so he could only hold his breath.

A good half month!

In the end, Cheng Tianyou could no longer bear it, he could only drink water, and then extract air from the water to survive.

Heaven knows how much he drank!

Fortunately, he'd practiced several layers of the Gluttonous Eating Skill, his stomach had ample space, that's how he managed.

But it was also nearing the limit, if it weren't for Wu Hua discovering him, he really would have been unfortunate in this dispute.

"Rare, rare indeed~"

Upon learning that Cheng Tianyou had stayed underground for over half a month, Wu Hua couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"The spell of Grand Minister of Agriculture is already beyond an old man's comprehension."

"I've come for three days, and only just discovered the casual technique hidden beneath Yuan Feng."

"In one's lifetime, to see such a spell, one could die without regret!"

"Hahaha, Grand Minister of Agriculture truly deserves to be the leader of all agriculture ministers!"

Wu Hua laughed several times, then rode a cloud away.

He had already done his utmost, the karma of Beichen King had been returned, if it couldn't be broken, then that wasn't his fault.

Beichen King's face was gloomy, he looked again at Mechanical Master Wang Zhen, who was checking around, and Talisman Master Nangong Qing.

Nangong Qing pointed with her hand, divine talismans appeared one after another, faintly visible, then she shook her head: "Beichen King, these divine talismans are interconnected, even if they can be broken, breaking them individually is useless."

"It merges the Heavenly Time Skill and Earth Advantage, becoming a node connecting heaven and earth, this is all I can discern."

After Nangong Qing spoke, she cupped her hands and flew away.

She didn't say it couldn't be broken, this was to leave some face for the Talisman Master's path, but in reality, she said everything.

That is, it can't be broken, breaking it would cause deaths.

Beichen King's expression grew increasingly unsightly, he could only pin his hopes on Mechanical Master Wang Zhen.

The spell's duration was so long because Zhao Xing used a formation.

Otherwise, the spell would weaken over time.

If not, Zhao Xing would be truly at the Rule Realm, with him not here, rules, spells would still be effective.

But Zhao Xing was clearly not at the Rule Realm, if he was entirely at the Rule Realm, Beichen King would have bowed down long ago.

After all, bowing to a Grand Minister of the same realm isn't disgraceful, but Zhao Xing was only at the Fate Palace Realm, which he found hard to accept.

That's how people are, when in high positions for long, they find it hard to swallow their pride.

Wang Zhen went in and out of the palace.

He first observed the copper lock and the floating flames.

"Sun Lock, Taiyin Fire, one yin one yang, deriving six harmonies, six harmonies just correspond to thirty-six earth paths."

"How to sever Earth Vein Power? Once severed, their Hou Transformation Technique would immediately become a lethal chaotic Hou Transformation Technique. Then it wouldn't be in the form of chicken and dog."

"Who knows what kind of monsters it might create, or turn into a pile of flesh."

The more Wang Zhen understood, the more exquisite he found it.

He found Shen Tuming, bringing the dog to the floating flames beside the copper lock for a burn.

Shen Tuming no longer wanted to move at all.

By now, his fur had almost been scorched off.

His body was mottled with bruises here and there.

These past days, Beichen King brought many people to try, everyone knew the approach must start with them.

Shen Tulan after all was the Queen, even if turned into a chicken, it wasn't appropriate to test on arbitrarily.

The Prime Minister was no problem though, Shen Tuming was merely a minor character, a brother-in-law, not as important as Shen Tulan.

Thus, these days he suffered greatly.

Pierced by needles, burned by fire, sliced, even his tongue was pried open, his rectum inspected...

Shen Tuming remembered a poem he'd recited before: The jade tree glows to illuminate the rear court.

Now it truly matched the scenery.

"Retribution..."

Shen Tuming felt exhausted, he even had thoughts of not wanting to be saved.

Yet, whenever he couldn't hold on, a doctor would come to treat him.

A normal big yellow dog, even if injured, could still be easily handled, right?

As time passed, the scale of research on him grew larger and larger.

After Wang Zhen roasted him, before the doctor could act, Shen Tuming suddenly rushed toward the nearby pillar to collide.

Obviously, he didn't want to live anymore.

"Lord Shen Tu, calm down, don't lose hope." The doctor kindly stopped Shen Tuming, treating his injuries.

Shen Tuming was at a loss for words, he even managed a slight grin.

...

"Beichen King, forgive my incompetence, I can't break this formation." Wang Zhen, after researching for several days, quickly gave up too.

But he still offered some expert opinion: "Your Royal Palace, rather than saying it's sealed by a formation, it's better to say it's sealed by heaven and earth."

"Hou Transformation Technique represents heaven, thirty-six earth veins symbolize the earth."

"Sun Power is the lock, Taiyin Power is the fire."

"The trusted aide Huang'er locks the center."

"This spell can almost be called flawless. At least I can't think of a way to break it." Wang Zhen said.

Beichen King asked in a low voice: "Is it that you can't think of a way, or you don't dare to break it?"

Wang Zhen shook his head: "I genuinely can't think of a way."

"Beichen King, you and I were once acquainted, though we haven't seen each other for a long time, I must say, Grand Minister of Agriculture did leave some grace."

"Rice Mountain, Noodle Mountain, could be considered a weak point, but this weak point was left intentionally by the Grand Minister of Agriculture. To prevent your two relatives from starving to death."

"All other food coming in would have its energy drained, eating it provides no nourishment."

"Moreover, saying you don't dare and can't think of a way, what's the difference?" Wang Zhen said with deep meaning.

Seeing Beichen King fall into deep thought, he cupped his hands and flew off.

Beichen King pondered for a long time, then raised his head to look at the surrounding crowd.

Many had come at his invitation, many had come voluntarily.

Among them, some gazes were subtle and cold.

Seeing Beichen King sweep over, they didn't avert their gaze, a few holding letters tightly, as if the letters were weapons.

Beichen King looked at them, then again at the two not caring about their surroundings at the palace gate, finally he sighed, lowered his head and said to the aide beside him:

"Lingling, arrange the prison carriage, escort your father to the capital, to apologize to the Grand Minister of Agriculture."
