Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

Upon hearing this, a figure flashed up from behind Jia Zhen, his voice flustered yet pleading for confirmation: "Are you telling the truth?"

Liu Ye said, "That's what he said, and you have to guarantee that your thoughts and true feelings are consistent and that it's your most genuine idea."

The figure in black paused, then said thank you and disappeared.

Jia Zhen seemed unfazed by this. He chuckled and muttered to himself, "Your Majesty, what choice do you have now?"

………………

Just as Jia Zhen, that old cripple, was sighing.

In the palace.

After listening to Ye Liu's words, Emperor Ming felt the deep malice of this world for the first time. He couldn't help but murmur, "Could it be that the so-called Mandate of Heaven is really not on my side? How can I end this chaotic world and create a unified empire?"

Faced with Emperor Ming's gaze, Ye Liu was also helpless. Now, the Prophet's side already had three Grandmasters, one of whom was the unfathomable Su Yuchen.

What are Your Majesty's plans?

Emperor Ming looked at the moonlight outside the window and said:

"I absolutely do not believe in destiny!"

"I was able to return from the land of white mountains and black waters back then, and I did not die on the road of war. If there is truly a Mandate of Heaven, then I am the Mandate of Heaven!"

"I can tolerate the Prophet living, but I absolutely cannot tolerate the Earl's Mansion having three Grandmasters."

"Liu Ye is my son, so I can tolerate the prophet living, but Liu Sinian and that female grandmaster are absolutely not allowed to live."

"However, I think that Ku Zhu and Si Gu Jian would certainly not want the Ming Dynasty to have five Grandmasters."

"Does Your Majesty mean to tell Ku Zhu and Si Gu Jian to join forces with them?" Ye Liu asked, frowning.

Emperor Ming seemed to have figured something out and said, "Go there yourself, meet with Ku Zhu and Si Gu Jian, and tell them the news."

"Okay." Ye Liu replied, and his figure disappeared in a flash.

Emperor Ming looked out the window and murmured to himself, "The Earl of Chengyi..."

With a flick of his sleeve, a domineering and unfamiliar surge of true energy erupted forth, instantly turning the wooden screen beside him into dust.

………………

Emperor Ming decides to continue the Glazed Gold Mountain Project with Ye Liu.

Emperor Ming hopes to use the help of Ku Zhu and Si Gu Jian, along with Ye Liu and the 'One Palm' Grandmaster Hong Si, to first inflict mutual damage on you.

Then Emperor Ming will deliver the final blow, burying you all in the Glazed Golden Mountain.

In the small courtyard.

Glancing at the narration that had just started, Su Yuchen was momentarily distracted. A wisp of divine consciousness from the Yin and Yang energies was polished by the Yin and Yang energies and popped out of the artificial brain of Robot No. 8.

Su Yuchen opened his eyes and frowned, leaving his divine sense inside Robot No. 8 for the twenty-first time.

"Failed again?"

Su Yuchen didn't understand why.

"Yin and Yang are the foundation of all things, and the Five Elements are the means of creation. Even with the addition of life force, why doesn't it work? Where exactly is the problem?"

"Does this mean we should emulate the Nine Revolutions of the Primordial Spirit, refining this wisp of divine consciousness nine times within the Yin and Yang energies, just like the Supreme Being's alchemy?"

Just as Su Yuchen was pondering, the narrator prompted...

The Supreme Alchemist, through the nine cycles of the Golden Elixir, can embody his Dao.

The Nine Revolutions of the Golden Elixir require the perfect combination of favorable timing, location, and human factors.

As he watched the narration, Su Yuchen's mind raced, and he suddenly realized something.

"As for the timing, the Supreme Being is a Heavenly Mandate level expert; if he needs it, the timing is entirely at his command."

"The best geographical advantage lies in the place where the Supreme Being resides."

"Harmony with others is what the Supreme Being himself desires."

"Therefore, the Supreme Alchemy Dao is actually the will of the Supreme One himself; this is the Dao of the Supreme One!"

"And what about me? The narrator wouldn't bring this up for no reason, so... my perfect timing, location, and people are... at the Glazed Golden Mountain!"

"That place marks the beginning of a new era in this world, possessing the best geographical advantage; the opportune time is for me to spread my teachings in this world; and the right people are the cultivators of this world who will accept my path."

With a single thought, Su Yuchen understood why he had failed in the blink of an eye: the 'transaction' had not been completed, and the will of Heaven in this world forbade it!

Looking up at the heavens, Su Yuchen gained a deeper understanding of the will of heaven and himself.

"In the next world, my primordial spirit will have undergone nine transformations, and my Yang spirit will be complete. I will be my own destiny!"

You have gained insight into the Way of Heaven.

You have gained an understanding of the Way of the Solitary One.

With a casual wave of his hand, Su Yuchen placed Robot No. 8 aside, lay back on the recliner, and closed his eyes to begin his cultivation.

There's no point in staying in Kyoto now; we need to set off for Rurikinzan.

Chapter 515 Leaving Kyoto

The next morning, when the Earl returned from court, he and Lady Liu hurriedly went to the courtyard, only to find that it was already deserted.

Everything that couldn't be taken from the courtyard had been sealed away; all the documents, books, and ancient texts taken from the mansion's library had been cataloged, with their storage locations clearly indicated; only on the desk remained an unwritten letter.

The Earl couldn't help but feel a little lost, as if he had never cared about this child all these years. The only time he had set foot in this courtyard was because of his status as a Grandmaster.

"master……"

"I have a feeling that Si Nian probably won't be coming back."

Looking at the neatly sealed-off room, Aunt Liu couldn't help but feel a little empty.

The count sighed, sat down in a chair, closed his eyes, and seemed to think that the child had been sitting there all along, swaying with the chair...

………………

Kyoto's East Gate, Desheng Gate.

A spacious, unmarked carriage emerged from the south gate of Kyoto, blending inconspicuously into the southbound merchants and pedestrians, and quietly disappearing into the crowd.

A corner of the carriage was lifted, and Liu Ruolan took one last look at the Kyoto city wall, without any further lingering attachment.

"Don't be sad. Once you become a Grandmaster, you can go anywhere in the world," Su Yuchen said, closing his eyes to rest.

As soon as he finished speaking, the carriage door opened, and the expressionless, plain-clad man flicked the reins. The two horses neighed and sped away along the official road in an instant.

"It's a bit of a pity that my brother went to court without telling my sister-in-law," Liu Ruolan said.

Su Yuchen smiled slightly, and the carriage stopped after traveling for a short while: "Go on, say goodbye!"

Liu Ruolan was slightly taken aback. She lifted the carriage curtain, and her gaze froze instantly. In the pavilion ahead, a pair of beautiful women stood. The man smiled and looked at her. The woman couldn't help but wave. It was Liu Ye and his wife.

Liu Ruolan showed a hint of surprise and hurriedly lifted the carriage curtain to get out. Xia Zhu, who was dressed as a man, had already reached out to help her down from the carriage.

………………

"Why did you leave without saying a word? I wouldn't have known if your brother hadn't suddenly come back and told me."

Li Ying'er glanced at the silent carriage, not seeing her brother-in-law, and began to complain to her sister-in-law in a low voice.

Liu Ruolan chuckled and said, "Si Nian has decided to go to Liuli Jinshan to stay for a while. It just so happens that my sister-in-law knows that I don't want to get married, so I'll go with him."

"A mountain of crystal and gold!"

Li Ying'er sighed and revealed a hint of longing, saying, "I heard that mountain is as smooth as a jade wall, and it shines in the sunlight."

Liu Ye said from the side, "I'll take you to see it when we have the chance."

"Really?" Li Ying'er asked in surprise.

Liu Ye nodded and said, "I lived in Qingtian when I was a child, which is not far from Liuli Jinshan. I've never been there before. Let's go and take a look together when we have time."

Li Ying'er: ……

(What a surprise, I don't know how to express it)

Seeing his wife and sister chatting so enthusiastically, Liu Ye walked a few steps to the carriage, lifted the curtain and said, "Why did you leave so suddenly? If the people from the procuratorate hadn't told me, I almost wouldn't have made it."

Su Yuchen smiled and said:

"Since staying here is boring and there's no point in doing anything, I might as well take advantage of the time to travel around."

"Moreover, if I continue to stay in Kyoto, I'm afraid some people will feel uneasy."

"Furthermore, I also need to give some people a chance."

Liu Ye nodded and said in a low voice, "This morning at court, Emperor Ming gave Father and Dean Jia a rare reprimand, I'm afraid..."

Su Yuchen glanced at him and said, "That's your father."

Liu Ye's eyes were deep as he chuckled and said, "I only have one father, and I've already paid my respects to him at the wedding ceremony."

Perhaps realizing that Su Yuchen didn't care about these things, she thought to herself, "He is a cultivator, how could he care about a grandmaster in the mortal world?"

Liu Ye changed the subject, saying, "Could you give me the prescription for the medicine you gave your sister-in-law before? I see she's much better, and I'm thinking of getting her another prescription."

Su Yuchen said calmly, "You can't make that medicine. And you don't need to take it anymore. It will release its medicinal effects slowly, and you will recover within six months. If you take good care of yourself, it won't relapse."

………………

Liu Ye turned his head and glanced at the two sisters-in-law who weren't going to stop anytime soon in the pavilion, and whispered...

"By the way, can you tell me which dynasty you're from? You even have cultivators? Are you a Taoist? I can't concoct that medicine; does it require some kind of immortal power or something?"

"We're in the same boat, so just tell me! By the way, you were pretty convincing when you were pretending before."

Su Yuchen glanced at him and said:

"First, I am not a cultivator; I am just an ordinary person who cultivates through martial arts."

"Secondly, I am different from you. You, the Prophet, the Divine Court, you are remnants of an era in this world; while I am an outsider."

"Outsider? Did you ascend to this world? Or did you transmigrate? No, I transmigrated too! You say I'm a native? Then what exactly happened to this world?" Liu Ye asked.

Su Yuchen pointed to the sun and said, "As you think, a nuclear war broke out in this world, 'nuclearly pacifying' everything. And the world as it is now is built on the ruins left over from the previous era."

“What about the Divine Court? I asked Xiao Jin, but he couldn’t explain it.” Liu Ye said, drawing a few symbols on the carriage.

"A smart AI exhibition hall," Su Yuchen said.

Liu Ye paused in his sketching, looking at the symbols he had drawn, and couldn't help but sigh: "Damn it, it's just simplified Chinese characters, and it's missing some edges. I knew I couldn't figure it out."

Su Yuchen chuckled, "Xiao Jin doesn't understand simplified Chinese characters, and besides, copied strokes are bound to be distorted. It would be strange if you could tell."

"So, that thing in the exhibition hall is actually artificial intelligence?" Liu Ye asked.

Su Yuchen nodded.

Liu Ye asked, "One last question: as long as the uncle stops going there, will the artificial intelligence be unable to control him?"

Seeing Su Yuchen nod, Liu Ye said fiercely, "Damn it, once I'm ready, I'll go take it apart."

"Take good care of Ruoruo. I'll come to see you at Liuli Jinshan when I have time," Liu Ye said, glancing at Liu Ruolan who was walking towards them.

Watching the carriage drive away, Liu Ye lowered his head and coaxed his wife. He then noticed that Wang Danian, who was standing to the side, seemed to be constipated and kept giving him meaningful glances.

Without showing any emotion, he accepted the note handed to him by Wang Danian: "His Majesty has decreed that Your Excellency shall travel to the south of the Yangtze River within the year to reorganize the various branches of Ming Enterprise."

Liu Ye reached out and crumpled the note into powder. He followed his wife into the prosecutor's office carriage, thinking to himself, "Your Majesty, what are you thinking?"

………………

"Master, Madam, Miss is not here either. The eldest young master sent someone to say that Miss left with Young Master Si Nian," the head steward reported.

The Earl paused for a moment, then smiled silently.

At this moment, those in Kyoto who knew Liu Sinian had left had different feelings.

Chapter 516 Wilderness Collection

This is the fifth day since I left Kyoto.

Being closer to Kyoto, the situation among the common people is relatively good. After all, it's under the emperor's nose, and the ferocious beast that is the prosecutor's office is nearby, so while everyone is making money, they still need to maintain a basic level of decorum.

After all, if the money isn't recouped before the person is killed, officials are better able to calculate the losses than businessmen.
