"Check Hu Yan Zan's information!"
Yang Hao looked at the formidable figure holding a blood-red spear on the river, and said softly. Looking at that figure, if it were the Hu Yan Zan from the Romance of the Yan Family Generals, his strength and realm would be greatly improved.
Even the historical Hu Yan Zan, with his brave charge and ability to earn the trust of Emperor Taizu of Song, would not be far behind.
"Name: Hu Yan Zan"
"Dynasty: Northern Song Dynasty"
"Cultivation: Void God Realm First Layer"
"Cultivation Method: Scarlet Blood Spear Canon"
"Attached Troops: Top-tier Troops: One hundred thousand elite Song soldiers!"
Experience: Hu Yan Zan served as a cavalryman in his youth. Once, he was favored by Emperor Taizu of Song, Zhao Kuangyin, who recognized Hu Yan Zan's talent and bravery. He was selected to serve as a commander in the Eastern Guard, received imperial decrees in the palace, and served as a general.
In the second year of Qiande, Hu Yan Zan was ordered to follow Wang Quanbin in the campaign against Later Shu. He personally served as the vanguard of the army, charging into battle with unparalleled bravery. He sustained several wounds and was promoted to Deputy Commander for his commendable military achievements.
In the early years of Taiping Xingguo, Emperor Taizong of Song, Zhao Guangyi, personally selected military officers. Upon witnessing Hu Yan Zan's bravery, he was greatly impressed and immediately appointed Hu Yan Zan as the Commander of the Iron Cavalry.
Four years later, Hu Yan Zan accompanied Emperor Taizong of Song in the conquest of Northern Han. He was the first to ascend the city wall and, during fierce combat, fell from the low city wall four times. Emperor Taizong, seeing his martial prowess, personally rewarded him with gold and silk.
In the third year of Chunhua, Hu Yan Zan was appointed as the Prefect of Baozhou and Deputy Commander of Jizhou. Upon arriving at the army's garrison, he realized he lacked the talent to command people and was reassigned as the Prefect of Liaozhou.
After becoming a prefect, he still lacked the ability to govern the people and handle official affairs, so he was reappointed as a military officer, concurrently serving as the Prefect of Fuzhou, and was further promoted to the position of General of Kangzhou.
He passed away in the third year of Xianping.
Brave and unyielding, a formidable general indeed!
Looking at Hu Yan Zan's information, Yang Hao nodded with satisfaction. The vast land of China is full of countless heroes, but there are also those who are not widely known yet possess remarkable military and administrative achievements. Fame should not be the sole criterion for evaluating a hero.
"System, deduct the remaining Fortune and Virtue points to elevate my own realm!"
He had already reached the eighth level of the Unity Realm. The two million Fortune and Virtue points, as the system indicated, were enough to break through a major realm. With a breakthrough in a major realm, Yang Hao would undoubtedly step into the Divine Fire Realm, open up acupoints, and condense scarlet-gold divine fire.
"Ding! Successfully deducted two million remaining Fortune and Virtue points!"
"Ding! Reminding the host that the host's Fortune and Virtue points are zero, Kill Points are zero, and Reincarnation Power is zero!"
"Roar!"
At this moment, above Chang'an City, a five-clawed dragon of fortune surged upwards, stirring up a monstrous surge of spiritual energy. The dense spiritual energy, like clouds covering ten thousand feet, enveloped the entire sky above Chang'an City.
After the deduction of two million Fortune and Virtue points, the nine cauldrons of fortune also emitted a bronze hue, shining in the void and complementing the five-clawed golden dragon of fortune in the heavens. The golden dragon roared, and the bronze divine light flickered.
Streams of dense and radiant scarlet-gold spiritual energy rapidly rotated in the sky above Chang'an City. Under the dual blessings of the bronze divine light and the five-clawed golden dragon of fortune, they rushed into the imperial palace of Chang'an City and poured madly into Yang Hao's body.
"Imperial Decree!"
The Imperial Decree Divine Strategy sent out streams of golden dragons from Yang Hao's body, which gradually devoured the incoming scarlet-gold spiritual energy. An aura of imperial might emanated outwards, colliding and blending intensely with the scarlet-gold spiritual energy.
"Rumble!!"
As the two forces continuously blended and converged, the scarlet-gold spiritual energy was constantly transformed by the Great Emperor Golden Body within. At a certain moment, it was drawn towards Yang Hao's left eye.
Simultaneously, in the soul sea, the primordial spirit's left eye slightly opened, and a beam of scarlet-gold divine light flickered within its pupils, gradually expanding. A fierce aura continuously ascended.
"Rumble!!"
Within Yang Hao's body, it was like ten thousand feet of divine thunder rolling. Waves of imperial aura surrounded an area of a hundred feet around him, and a wisp of scarlet-gold flame gradually condensed.
"Open!"
Yang Hao shouted, and a golden divine light erupted from his left eye, then quickly disappeared. The scarlet-gold divine fire flickering in his left eye gradually stabilized, burning and moving within his left eye.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully opening three scarlet-gold divine fires in the left eye, right eye, and mouth!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully entering the Divine Fire Realm Third Layer!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through a major realm, all summoned worldly heroes have had their realms increased by four minor levels!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the summoned worldly heroes Xu Chu, Huang Zhong, Shang Shitu, Chu Li Ji, and Hu Yan Zan have successfully advanced four minor levels, stepping into the Void God Realm Fifth Layer!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the summoned worldly heroes Liao Hua, Mao Xiang, Zhou Yuji, Zhang Jiao, Gao Shun, Zhangsun Wuji, Jing Ke... and others have successfully advanced four minor levels, opened three scarlet-gold divine fires, and stepped into the Divine Fire Realm Third Layer!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the summoned worldly heroes Yang Ye, Fei Yingdong, Xia Luqi, Yan Chengfang, Wu Jie, Feng Yi, and Zhang Jiao have successfully advanced four minor levels, reaching the peak of the Divine Fire Realm, and have successfully opened one "will" and two "mansions" of scarlet-gold divine fire, reaching the extreme peak of the Divine Fire Realm!"
...
A series of dense messages regarding the advancement of summoned worldly heroes filled Yang Hao's entire soul sea.
Examining his detailed information, Yang Hao gained even more confidence for the upcoming Blood Sea Suspended Coffin.
What exactly lay in the depths of that Blood Sea Suspended Coffin that required supreme beings to set up terrifying seals layer by layer? Why was it abandoned by the Great Dao of this realm?
Various mysteries troubled Yang Hao. Currently, the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin did not affect the Great Han Imperial Dynasty. However, the Great Han Imperial Dynasty would eventually annex the entire territory into Han territory, which would have a considerable impact on the future Great Han Imperial Dynasty. It was unsettling not to clarify this matter!
The next day, two imperial edicts, led by Wei Zhongxian, emerged from the imperial palace. Chu Li Ji and Hu Yan Zan, two ancient heroes, were granted new titles, joining the ranks of summoned worldly heroes, and the entire Great Han Imperial Dynasty.
Why?
Because every stranger who came to the Great Han Imperial Dynasty was heavily relied upon by the Han Emperor. The facts proved that these strangers were all terrifyingly powerful, repeatedly bringing great glory to the Great Han Imperial Dynasty!
What was even more shocking this time was that both of them were powerful beings in the Void God Realm, capable of contending with Huang Zhong, Xu Chu, and others!
"Imperial Decree!"
"Confer Chu Li Ji as the Commander of the Black Tortoise Legion, and grant him the title of Border-Conquering General!"
"Confer Hu Yan Zan as the Deputy General of the third army of the White Tiger Legion, to be under Wu Jie's command, and grant him the title of Valiant General!"
