Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

At the moment when Yin and Yang were in harmony, Su Yuchen's primordial spirit moved and transformed into nothingness, penetrating deep into the mountain. As he went further, the surrounding chill deepened, as if it were about to freeze his soul.

A flash of Yin-Yang divine light appeared on his primordial spirit, and rays of Yin-Yang light enveloped his primordial spirit. Only when he was still three zhang away from the ball of light did Su Yuchen sense the deep malice from the heavens above and stop.

Su Yuchen's primordial spirit coalesced into a physical form, and after silently observing for a moment, he suddenly sighed: "So be it! What is not mine, why force it?"

[You have seen a wisp of primordial Yin-Yang divine light that was missed when the will of Heaven was first born in this world.]

[After a thousand years of gestation, the Yin-Yang Divine Light will need another thirty thousand years to give birth to spiritual consciousness, thus becoming a child of the Heavenly Dao of this world.]

[You have preached for three years, and have a great karmic connection with the Heavenly Dao of this world. You may receive a wisp of primordial Yin-Yang divine light as a reward to settle this karmic debt.]

[You have observed a primordial yin-yang divine light, a thread of heavenly secrets revealing the harmony of yin and yang, and your destiny's seed has made progress.]

[You have comprehended the innate Yin-Yang divine light and gained insight into the secrets of heaven. You have learned about 'knowing the future in reverse' and can deduce parts of the future.]

………………

Inside the ancient temple.

Su Yuchen sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the black and white light on his fingertips. The moment the light bloomed, the moonlight within a radius of more than ten miles converged on the ancient temple. Even in this world where the primordial energy was active, a pillar of moonlight was formed in the air, shining on Su Yuchen.

Feeling the indescribable charm on his fingertips, Su Yuchen's primordial spirit flashed with the Yin and Yang energies behind him, slowly turning around. A black and white light leaped into it, and the purple-gold fire dragon and the silver-white ice phoenix phantoms flashed, inexplicably gaining a touch of liveliness.

[You have integrated the innate Taiyin Ice Soul Divine Light with the Yin and Yang energies, retaining a trace of innate creation. Your Great Sun Purple Flame and Taiyin Ice Soul Divine Light are advancing.]

A moment later, the purple of the purplish-gold dragon phantom became even brighter, while the silver of the silver-white ice phoenix phantom became even dimmer. The phantoms dissipated, and Su Yuchen's primordial spirit dispersed and returned to his body.

The next second, Su Yuchen opened his eyes, casually pointed, and a terrifying cold aura that seemed to have been born since time immemorial and frozen the heavens and earth instantly erupted from his fingertip. A thread-like cold light shot into a large tree that three people could barely encircle at the entrance of the ancient temple.

The cold light passed through the ancient tree trunk without stopping, only disappearing five miles away.

Wherever the light shone, all life was extinguished. The next second, without a sound, the cold light shone from a place three miles to the left and right, and all the grass, trees and rocks instantly turned to dust, leaving only a straight path.

Su Yuchen watched all this quietly, and realized just how fortunate he had been...

"The Yin and Yang energies I practiced before were acquired later. They lacked the innate spiritual essence that was born of heaven and earth. No wonder I couldn't cultivate a second primordial spirit; it's because I lacked this innate spiritual essence."

"Now my Yin and Yang energies can be called the Primordial Taiyin Ice Soul Divine Light and the Primordial Great Sun Purple Flame. The difference between the two words is like heaven and earth."

"However, it is still far from enough. If one could truly separate a wisp from that innate Yin-Yang divine light and completely integrate it into oneself, that would be a true blessing."

Even so, this is enough for now.

Su Yuchen separated a wisp of his divine consciousness, with a faint black and white light wrapped around it, and sent it into the artificial brain inside the robot No. 8.

In an instant, divine consciousness merged with the foundation of Yin and Yang energies, and creation arose spontaneously.

Chapter 523 Glazed Golden Mountain 4

He sensed that wisp of divine consciousness being nurtured within the innate divine light. Although the process was incredibly long, for Su Yuchen, a good start was all that mattered.

As he sensed the nurturing of that divine consciousness, Su Yuchen gained insights into the supernatural powers of Yin and Yang, life, and destiny.

At a certain moment, Su Yuchen flicked his fingertip, and the Destiny Seed 'Reverse Knowledge of the Future' was activated. In the scene, he actually left with his second primordial spirit.

"Therefore, there is still hope for the future, but we don't know exactly what it will be."

"It's a pity that I've only just learned this supernatural power and can't yet see through to the future protected by the will of heaven in this realm."

[By obtaining the innate Yin-Yang divine light and the virtue of transmitting the Dao, one can obtain a second primordial spirit.]

"Is it related to the Heavenly Dao of this realm?"

After pondering for a moment, Su Yuchen shook his head, not caring. He continued to use his supernatural ability 'Reverse Prediction of the Future'. After a moment, his eyes returned to focus: "Is there only four years left?"

………………

Three days later, Su Yuchen, who was cultivating, opened his eyes. With a flick of his sleeve, the energy clouds floating in the ancient temple parted to create a straight passage leading directly outside the temple.

A moment later, Xia Zhu and her group entered. They looked around at the white clouds that seemed to float around like a heavenly palace, and couldn't help but reach out and touch them. But unlike the illusory clouds they had imagined, they felt as if they were real.

Su Yuchen didn't explain anything, and looked at Xia Zhu, saying:

"Now that the hundred or so city gate guards have awakened, from today onwards, you will be in charge of leading them and patrolling the Glazed Golden Mountain. These city gate guards will be able to advance to the ninth rank in a short time after I stimulate their potential, but that will be their limit for this lifetime."

"In addition, have the priests on Mount Liuli cooperate in building a three-story platform in the center of the mountaintop plaza, starting today. I will use it."

"As for the shape and scale of the platform..."

Su Yuchen reached out and summoned a cloud of energy. He manipulated it at his fingertips according to his thoughts, and soon a replica of the Temple of Heaven he had seen in his first life appeared before them.

The only difference is that in the very center of the second-level altar, there is no sacrificial furnace, but rather an even higher stone platform.

The group examined the altar closely and saw two elegantly designed high altars surrounded by two walls: the first wall was covered with strange cloud patterns, like layers upon layers of clouds, with two strangely shaped beasts appearing and disappearing among the clouds; the second wall was carved with mountains, rivers and land.

The simple stone platform on the third level depicts a farmer with grains, a herbalist with herbs, and an emperor holding a long sword. The three figures are blurred and indistinct, yet they give people a mysterious and vivid feeling.

"This object is called the Temple of Heaven, also known as the Altar of Heaven and Earth. The first layer represents Heaven, the second layer represents Earth, and the third layer represents Man; the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man are in harmony with the Way of Heaven and Earth."

"The size doesn't need to be too large, but it should be sturdy and durable. Order the city gate guards to quarry the stone, and each stone brick should be three feet three inches and three-tenths inches long, wide and high."

"The highest stone platform needs to be connected to the upper and lower levels, and is nine feet nine inches and nine fen long, fitting perfectly with the three-tiered platform."

After hearing Su Yuchen's request, the group was taken aback, but they didn't think it was too difficult. If a hundred eighth-rank martial artists worked together to open up the mountain and chisel the stone, it would indeed save time and effort. Moreover, they, the ninth-rank martial artists, and a grandmaster would also lend a hand.

Xia Zhu responded and said, "Since Young Master is determined to spread his teachings throughout the world, would you like me to recruit some disciples?"

Su Yuchen shook his head and said:

"This matter is ordained by Heaven. When the time comes, those in this world with aspirations will naturally feel it. Those who can come are destined, and those who are late are not. It has nothing to do with me."

"What I need to do is break Emperor Ming's spine, so that warriors from the Northern Barbarians and the East Sea will have the opportunity to come here. As for the rest, it's all up to fate."

Su Yuchen calculated for a moment, then continued:

"If I'm not mistaken, Emperor Ming will come up the mountain a year from now, and that will be my last time making a move in this realm."

"Whether it's Emperor Ming's own schemes or the other three Grandmasters' desire to continue looking down on the world, they have no choice but to fight me."

"I will invite them to stay as guests at that time, which will also be the time when destiny will unfold."

Su Yuchen's words were profound and unfathomable, leaving the others bewildered. However, they could all discern a clue from Su Yuchen's final words.

"Does Young Master intend to leave this world?" Xia Zhu asked.

Su Yuchen waved his sleeve and said calmly:

"I am a seeker of immortality in this world; all of life is but a dream to me."

"The martial arts of this world are incomplete, and the path of cultivation has been interrupted. Since I have the fate to come here, I should pass on the martial arts, continue the path, and open up a glimmer of opportunity for all living beings in this world."

After giving his instructions, Su Yuchen flicked his sleeve and escorted the group out of the ancient temple. The energy cloud once again covered the temple, leaving only wisps of mist drifting around.

As for the high priest on Mount Liuli Jin, who was eager to participate after seeing the hundred or so city gate guards subdued and hearing Xia Zhu relay the altar's requirements, that was none of Su Yuchen's business.

………………

A year passed in Su Yuchen's cultivation.

The energy clouds that originally lingered atop the Liuli Golden Mountain were thinned away by his relentless devouring. Standing on the cliff edge, through the faintly visible clouds, one could see the endless waves of the sea. Whenever the sun rose from the horizon, its purple-gold rays were dazzling and colorful, rendering the Liuli Golden Mountain and the clouds in a breathtakingly beautiful way.

Inside the ancient temple, Su Yuchen was surrounded by Yin and Yang energies, and the Five Elements Divine Light flowed endlessly within his chest cavity. With each rotation, a layer of cloud energy was torn apart and absorbed.

His originally somewhat thin body now appeared even more robust, and if it weren't for the sound of blood flowing endlessly through his body like ocean waves, he would look like a radiant statue.

After a year of cultivation, Su Yuchen didn't know how much true essence he had in his body at the moment. At least half a year ago, all the acupoints in his body were opened up by true essence, turning into energy fields that stored endless energy. In the past six months, all the true essence had cleansed his blood, bones, flesh, internal organs, and hair time and time again.

Su Yuchen opened his eyes, and with a thought, his true essence silently responded, and a giant hand of heaven and earth energy about five meters long appeared in the ancient temple. With a thought, the giant hand of energy switched back and forth between fingers, palm, fist, and claw, and various moves were performed at will.

"This is the legendary Primordial Qi Capturing Hand technique of Taoism."

Watching the giant hand move according to his will, Su Yuchen focused his mind and activated the Five Elements Dao Seed in his primordial spirit. Five-colored rays of light adhered to the giant hand, and an aura of capturing the Five Elements and being unrestrained emerged.

"Therefore, if you understand one method, you understand all methods. So-called supernatural powers and methods are nothing more than martial arts cultivation reaching its peak, which will naturally come to you."

"Unfortunately, the Five Elements are only the acquired Yin Five Elements, lacking the innate mysteries. If one could encounter the innate Yang Five Elements, the acquired Yin and Yang would be united, which would be the legendary Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light."

Dispersing his supernatural powers and martial arts, Su Yuchen's will sank into his sea of ​​consciousness. His primordial spirit spread its hands, and a beam of glazed sword light landed in his hand. Looking at the sword light, Su Yuchen couldn't help but sigh. This sword technique was indeed far behind.

But this was his last resort, prepared for the unknown dangers of the future, and Su Yuchen couldn't ignore it.

"I wonder where I'll go in the next world. It would be great if I could make up for my shortcomings in swordsmanship." After pondering for a moment, Su Yuchen withdrew the sword light from his primordial spirit.

Silently communicating with the system, whose location is unknown, still yielded no results.

Chapter 524 Glazed Golden Mountain 5

On this day, Su Yuchen was cultivating when a sudden inspiration struck him. With a thought, the yin and yang energies behind him harmonized, revealing a glimpse of heavenly secrets. He saw Liu Ye heading towards the Glazed Golden Mountain.

[Emperor Ming used Ye Liu as a link to unite Ku Zhu Zi and Si Gu Jian, and together they hunted you down at Liuli Jinshan.]

As the will of Heaven in this realm gradually flourishes and the primordial energy of heaven and earth becomes more vibrant, Hong Si obtains a sliver of opportunity and breaks through to the 'half-step Grandmaster' level. However, his internal organs are damaged, limiting him to ten attacks.

[Liu Ye's wife is pregnant. Emperor Ming threatens Liu Ye with the lives of the Earl of Chengyi and his offspring, forcing Liu Ye and the Prophet to attack you together at Liuli Jinshan.]

Ye Liu still harbors lingering fear of you and has reservations about Emperor Ming's schemes. For the sake of his family, he decides to keep a backup plan.

[Having preached for two years, you have left an indelible legend in this world, becoming the ancestor of martial arts cultivation in this realm.]

With a flick of his sleeve, Su Yuchen caused the energy clouds surrounding the ancient temple to drift away and gradually dissipate.

A moment later, a chattering sound rang out. Su Yuchen smiled slightly and, without using his divine sense, recognized that it was Liu Ruolan.

After a year of cultivation at Mount Dadong and with the help of the Taiyin Pearl, the young girl has already reached the eighth rank of cultivation. Although it's not much, her rapid progress would probably leave others speechless.

Not long after, led by Liu Ruolan, Liu Ye, Li Ying'er, and the robot Prophet arrived at the entrance of the ancient temple.

"what!"

Seeing the ancient temple where the strange phenomenon had dissipated, Liu Ruolan couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation. You see, for more than a year, apart from the occasional brief moment when Xia Zhu had something to report, the ancient temple had been shrouded in clouds and mist, and Su Yuchen had never been seen at all.

When the group arrived at the temple, the first thing they saw was Su Yuchen's eyes, which were as clear and distant as the heavens and earth, and as bright as the starry river. He sat there, seemingly so close yet so far away.

In the blink of an eye, all the strange phenomena disappeared, and Su Yuchen seemed to have been sitting there quietly all along; everything that had just happened was their illusion.

"Your cultivation has improved again!" Liu Ye asked in surprise.

Perhaps because he believed that Su Yuchen and he were both from the modern world, Liu Ye was very friendly and approachable even though they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

As for the others, whether it was Liu Ruolan, Li Ying'er who came with her, or Xia Zhu and Qiu Ju who came later, they could all feel that Su Yuchen was becoming less and less like a 'human', more like a god in legends looking down on the world.

Su Yuchen nodded in response.

The prophet turned his head and 'looked around', saying, "This temple wasn't originally like this."

The group then looked around. While the others didn't notice anything amiss, Liu Ruolan and Xia Zhu sensed something unusual. They remembered what it looked like when they first arrived; this ancient temple was nothing more than an ordinary stone mountain.

Now, the roof beams, the surrounding stone walls, and the stone slabs underfoot seem to be covered with a layer of crystal-clear black, so shiny that they reflect one's image, and a faint, warm, jade-like aura flows through the ancient temple.

The prophet pondered for a moment, and the next second an iron rod slipped from his sleeve and stabbed into the ground.

With a soft 'ding', the sound was crisp and melodious, like the echo of a zither, leaving not a single scratch on the ground; on the other hand, the prophet was shaken by the recoil, his five fingers loosened, the iron rod flew into the air, and he caught it with his left hand. Then he retreated seven or eight steps until his heels hit the threshold, and only then did he stop.

"I have been cultivating here for a long time, and the pressure from the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) has changed the density and structure of these rocks," Su Yuchen said calmly.

Liu Ye nodded, not seeing any problem with it. In his 'previous life,' wasn't this often written in novels?

"So you can call this a blessed land?" Liu Ye asked.

Su Yuchen smiled and shook his head, saying:

“This Glazed Golden Mountain is already a blessed land, and this place is just more suitable for cultivation and seclusion. I will leave this place to Xia Zhu from now on.”

"It's been over a year since I last saw you. I didn't expect you to have already reached the upper level of the ninth rank. That's quite an improvement."

Liu Ye smiled and said, "I originally wanted to break through to the Grandmaster level, but unfortunately, the pill you gave me has been used up. I'm afraid of dying, so I have to stop and hope to solidify my foundation."

Su Yuchen nodded, indicating his understanding. After all, having a wife and children meant having responsibilities.

"I haven't congratulated you yet on having a child," Su Yuchen said, glancing at Li Ying'er.

"Oh? Sister-in-law, you're pregnant?" Liu Ruolan exclaimed in surprise.

Li Ying'er nodded shyly and said, "I just discovered it too."

Liu Ye paused for a moment and said, "It's no fun. I was planning to tell you later and give you a surprise."

After chatting for a while, Liu Ye asked Liu Ruolan to take Li Ying and Wan'er down to rest, citing the fatigue of the journey. Su Yuchen noticed that he had something to say, nodded, and asked Xia Zhu and the others to go down as well.

Soon, only Su Yuchen, Liu Ye, and the Prophet remained in the temple.

………………

"I am here on His Majesty's orders to deliver a decree from Liuli Jinshan. His Majesty is coming to Liuli Jinshan to offer sacrifices to Heaven," Liu Ye said.
