Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

Su Yuchen nodded.

"Aren't you worried at all?" Liu Ye asked in surprise.

Su Yuchen smiled and asked, "Should I be worried?"

Liu Ye shook his head and said:

"I don't know, but ever since I found out that you and Ruoruo are in Dadongshan, I've been feeling uneasy."

So much has happened this year.

"First, it was Uncle Prophet, Dean Jia, my father, and me who made things clear. Then I rushed to Jiangnan to take over Mingqi and returned to Beijing to take over the procuratorate."

"Then, Father was inexplicably impeached in court, and His Majesty inexplicably wanted to depose the Crown Prince and even come to Liuli Jinshan to offer sacrifices to Heaven."

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, Zhu Yunrui is dead. His Majesty ordered Dean Jia to execute her for treason, and many others, including the commander of the Northwest Camp, were also implicated."

"This happened just before I returned to the capital, which is what I find most strange. Since Zhu Yunrui had already been put to death, cutting off the Crown Prince's last limb, why was there still a sacrifice to Heaven? Wouldn't a clear edict to announce it to the world have been enough?"

"With His Majesty's prestige, a single imperial edict is sufficient; would anyone dare to object?"

Su Yuchen said calmly, "So, what are you worried about?"

Liu Ye sat opposite him and said seriously:

"I'm worried that His Majesty is coming for you."

"After thinking it over, besides you and Sister Xia Zhu, what else in the Ming Kingdom could make him uneasy? Only a Grandmaster."

Su Yuchen smiled and said, "But you forgot a saying: 'A son of a wealthy family doesn't sit under a dangerous roof.' With his high status, why would he take such a risk?"

Liu Ye said:

"That's exactly what I don't understand."

“I originally thought His Majesty had arranged for a large army to surround the mountain, but after arriving here, I found that the Glazed Golden Mountain is not suitable for large-scale military operations at all. And if we were on the plains at the foot of the mountain, we would not be able to trap a Grandmaster, let alone someone like you who is a cultivator.”

"Even if His Majesty is a Grandmaster, together with Ye Liu, there are only two of them. How could they possibly deal with you?"

Su Yuchen glanced at him, but didn't answer the question. Looking at the distant clouds, he asked, "It seems that the entanglements of your emotions have led you to make a choice. Have you chosen to accept everything from the past?"

Liu Ye was silent for a moment, then said, "I have a wife and will have children. These are my ties in this world. I probably can't be as carefree as you."

Su Yuchen nodded and said:

"fair enough."

"Now that you're here, just settle down and let fate take its course for you."

Chapter 525 Glazed Golden Mountain 6

Until Liu Ye left, the prophet said nothing or made any statement.

Watching the two figures disappear among the ancient wooden pavilions outside the temple, Su Yuchen couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"Is it becoming more and more human?"

"Unfortunately, those who are my enemies are all enemies of the Way."

These matters were easily resolved by Su Yuchen. A flash of sword light appeared in his eyes, and all pity and regret vanished. Su Yuchen turned his gaze to Robot No. 8 beside him, probing its artificial brain with his divine sense.

Bypassing layers of data flow, we arrive at the lowest level of logic code, where a wisp of divine consciousness and innate Yin-Yang divine light have taken over. In the endless singularity where Yin and Yang complement each other, a crystal-clear light floats quietly and motionless.

After watching for a moment, Su Yuchen withdrew his consciousness from the artificial brain and muttered to himself:

"This wisp of innate spiritual essence directly transformed a wisp of acquired divine consciousness into a second primordial spirit. Although all consciousness and memory were gone, it was the true origin of life."

"If I could truly obtain a wisp of innate Yin-Yang divine light to refine my primordial spirit and create a second primordial spirit, then I would truly have two lives."

"However, the second primordial spirit is still too weak. If we want to continue to strengthen our origin, the artificial brain of the robot is not enough. Sigh, if only we had the legendary innate five elements spirit pearl, that would be a great thing for refining the second primordial spirit."

After a moment's thought, realizing he was being greedy, Su Yuchen's primordial spirit sword flashed, cutting off his distracting thoughts. After a quick calculation, he knew that Emperor Ming would arrive in two months.

………………

Two months later.

That day, Su Yuchen stood on the edge of the cliff, his gaze seemingly piercing through the clouds at the mountain peak, reaching far into the distance.

"Young Master, His Majesty has arrived in Qingtian County, accompanied only by two thousand Imperial Guards and the Minister of Rites, among others. He will arrive at Liuli Jinshan today. Young Master Liu Ye has already gone down the mountain to greet His Majesty," Xia Zhu said from behind.

Su Yuchen nodded and asked, "Where are the priests in the Ming Temple?"

Xia Zhu was silent for a moment, then said, "The high priest has dismissed the others, leaving only the five elderly ones in the main hall of the Ming Temple. The high priest said that it's either death or life, and everything is up to the gods to decide."

Su Yuchen nodded and said:

"Alright."

"There's no need for a temple here anymore, so there's no point in leaving them here."

"Let the Dao soldiers wait in the main hall. I'm afraid that with a hundred or so ninth-rank martial artists, Emperor Ming and Ku Zhuzi won't dare to go up the mountain, and I'll have to go and capture them."

Xia Zhu nodded and stood quietly behind Su Yuchen, watching the sea of ​​clouds and waves, which seemed like sword techniques, perfectly natural.

Sensing the other's progress, Su Yuchen smiled knowingly. Xia Zhu was not a top genius, and her comprehension was only slightly above average. However, she was able to persevere and make progress little by little every day. This perseverance alone was enough to allow her to surpass the Grandmaster realm.

"Fine! Let's leave Robot No. 8 to her. If she can truly become a Yin God, she might be able to wait until this world can shatter the void." Su Yuchen pondered to himself.

"They're here!" Su Yuchen said, looking down at the sea of ​​clouds.

In his eyes, the aura of a grandmaster was mixed among thousands of other auras, like a dragon's head, merging these auras into one, and then rushing towards the Glazed Golden Mountain with a seamless and impenetrable force.

Su Yuchen stood quietly on the edge of the cliff, watching and waiting.

At the same time, lines of narration that he had deliberately ignored reappeared before his eyes...

Emperor Ming threatened Liu Ye's family members to force the prophet to participate in the Battle of Dadongshan.

After the Crown Prince's death, Emperor Ming and Liu Ye revealed their true intentions to each other.

For the sake of peace and stability, and to spare the people from the suffering of war, Liu Ye persuaded Jia Zhen and the Earl of Chengyi to put aside their past grievances. In return, Emperor Ming left the capital, allowing Jia Zhen and Liu Qingtian to secretly incite the Empress and Empress Dowager's faction to rebel, thus completing the final revenge for the death of Ye Qingmei.

[Liu Ye gives you a final hint, hoping you will leave Liuli Jinshan to avoid a battle with Emperor Ming.]

At Liu Ye's request, Liu Ruolan has set up a Barrett anti-tank rifle at a high vantage point, hoping to quell the fight and bring everything under control.

Not long after, accompanied by Liu Ye, Emperor Ming and a group of civil officials and eunuchs came up the mountain one after another. Ignoring the panting of the civil officials, Emperor Ming looked at the Altar of Heaven in the center of the temple square and said with some surprise, "I remember there was no altar here back then."

Liu Ye was slightly taken aback. He had originally thought that this was already there, and couldn't help but explain, "It's probably because His Majesty is coming to offer sacrifices to Heaven, so all the priests of the Ming Temple temporarily set it up."

Emperor Ming glanced at him, but did not mention that the priest on the Glazed Golden Mountain had already fled. He smiled and then looked at Su Yuchen and the other person on the edge of the cliff.

He waved his hand, leaving only Liu Ye and the Grand Eunuch Hong Si to accompany him. He slowly walked to the edge of the cliff and said, "I once heard Liu Ye say that you liked to watch the spiders under the eaves. I didn't expect that you also liked the sea of ​​clouds on this Liuli Jinshan Mountain. But this place is even more interesting?"

Su Yuchen glanced at him and said, "As an emperor, you are a qualified emperor. Unfortunately, in the face of the overwhelming trend, all struggles are in vain."

"And you, are you the greatest power in the world?" Emperor Ming asked in confusion.

Su Yuchen nodded and said calmly:

“When Liu Ye came up the mountain that day, I knew that he had chosen to join forces with you. Unfortunately, he still had some reservations about you, or perhaps he had some concerns.”

"And this led you to make the wrong judgment."

As he spoke, he looked at Liu Ye and said, "Since you chose to join forces with Emperor Ming, you shouldn't have given me that hint that day."

Liu Ye shook his head and said, "You are still my brother."

"Foolish," Emperor Ming said disdainfully. "The worst thing for an emperor is to be indecisive and waver between two sides. You are not qualified."

Liu Ye smiled and said, "I don't want to be a lonely emperor, Your Majesty should know that."

Liu Ye shook his head without speaking, then looked at Su Yuchen and said, "As long as you are willing to help me, we can eliminate the Bitter Bamboo and the Four-Looking Sword today, and from then on, the world will be unified and there will be no more war."

Su Yuchen smiled and said calmly, "It seems you've forgotten that I once said I am the most powerful person in the world."

Emperor Ming smiled and said:

“Some people said the same thing back then. But I say that the people of this world are the greatest force; and the Ming Dynasty is the greatest force.”

"I know you are a cultivator, but I also know that cultivators are not much stronger than grandmasters; they can die just as easily if they are injured."

"If you were truly a legendary immortal cultivator who could summon wind and rain and change the world, you wouldn't have planned for so long. That altar must have been something you built for your 'battle of magic'."

"In my opinion, cultivators, like Western mages, are better suited for ranged combat, while martial artists are better suited for close combat."

Su Yuchen smiled and asked, "Did the prophet tell you this?"

Emperor Ming revealed a strange expression and said, "The prophet showed me some 'pictures' that circulated from the Divine Court. Those pictures, called 'The Zombie Taoist Priest,' depict the methods of cultivators."

Chapter 526 The Battle of the Grandmasters

Su Yuchen shook his head and chuckled; he had finally completed the last piece of the puzzle.

When Liu Ye 'betrayed' himself, 'betrayed' Ye Qingmei, and chose to live in this world with his wife and children; when Liu Ye and Emperor Ming revealed their true intentions to each other.

Why did Liu Ye think that a Barrett rifle could stop him? Why was Fan Xian so confident? Why did Emperor Qing dare to confidently cause trouble for him, even thinking that he could be easily defeated? All of this was simply because of a few "Vampire Expert" movies.

“But I’m not a fragile mage, nor am I Shi Jian who only knows Lightning Strike Fist, and this isn’t the old era of the Dharma-ending Age.”

Su Yuchen smiled.

On the sea below the cliffs of Da Dong Mountain, a small boat quietly approached Liuli Jinshan. In a moment of leisure, the figure on the boat leaped up and floated up along the edge of the Liuli Jinshan rock wall. With a slight push of his hand, he arrived at the top of Liuli Jinshan. The person who came was Ye Liu.

At the same time, on the plains below the mountain, a series of horn sounds rang out simultaneously, and the thunderous sound of horses' hooves shocked Liu Ye.

Emperor Ming showed no surprise whatsoever. He looked at the shocked Liu Ye and said:

“When that old fellow Jia Zhen stops causing me trouble, nothing in this Ming Dynasty can stop me.”

"On the surface, I reprimanded the Earl of Chengyi, but in reality, I have already ordered him and Gong Jiu to take over the Northwest Camp with a secret decree. At this moment, 150,000 elite Northwest troops have completely surrounded the area below the mountain."

"If I win, then everything will be fine; if I die, then they will obey my final decree and stop everyone on this mountain at all costs. No one on this mountain, whether a Grandmaster or a cultivator, will escape."

As they were talking, a series of footsteps echoed along the mountain path, and a hundred eighth-rank city gate guards rushed up, blocking the road down the mountain.

………………

"Liu Sinian (Su Yuchen), this is the last chance I'm giving you."

"Bitter Bamboo and Four-Looking Sword have already arrived in the mountains. Either you join forces with me to stop them, or I join forces with them to stop you and your servant."

Emperor Ming said.

Seeing Su Yuchen remain silent, Emperor Ming turned away from him and looked at the shocked Liu Ye, saying:

"Ye'er, go down the mountain now! Marquis Chengyi is already waiting at the foot of the mountain with my decree."

"If we see fireworks, it means I am dead. At that time, the Northwest Camp will immediately set the mountain on fire. You and the Marquis of Chengyi will carry out my decree and work with Jia Zhen, who is staying in the capital, to eliminate all opposition and support the third prince to succeed to the throne."

"I hereby grant you the power to oversee the country!"

"As for whether or not you want to become emperor, that's your decision in the end! The edict for your succession is in Jia Zhen's hands."

The next second, a figure in gray robes and holding a sword appeared at the entrance of the mountain path. Before the city gate guards could draw their swords, the man had already leaped over the mountain pass as if no one else was there and stood on the mountain peak.

Only then did the guards at the mountain pass have a trickle of blood from their necks and collapse to the ground.

"Looking around, I see the sword!"

Immediately afterwards, in the forest behind the mountain peak, a figure appeared at the edge of the woods. Although the person did not say a word, just by looking at the person's huge bald head, you could tell who it was.

"The Northern Barbarian National Preceptor, Bitter Bamboo!"

Liu Ye felt a pang of bitterness. Everything seemed to be different from his own plans, but he had no control over the situation. At this moment, Liu Ye regretted not being an emperor who could decide the fate of the world with a single word.

"Fortunately, I still have Uncle Prophet, and fortunately, I still have Ruoruo." Liu Ye felt that he still had a chance to control the situation.

Before he could continue thinking, Xia Zhu clapped her hands behind Su Yuchen.

Silently, the gates of the Qing Temple, hidden among the mountains and forests, opened one by one, and figures resembling city gate guards emerged, each wielding a long sword.

"Ninth Rank, Upper Grade!"

Although he already knew this from Liu Ruolan, Liu Ye's eyes still narrowed involuntarily. These city gate guards were all martial artists of the ninth rank or higher.

Even Emperor Ming, Si Gu Jian, and Ku Zhu Zi couldn't help but narrow their eyes as they looked at the hundred or so expressionless ninth-rank martial artists who seemed to only know how to kill.

Beside Emperor Ming, the chief eunuch Hong Si finally raised his head and quietly made a hand gesture. A junior eunuch beside him quietly slipped down the mountain path to summon the imperial guards.

At this moment, the Grand Secretaries, Minister of Rites, and others who had come with Emperor Ming were dumbfounded. No one knew why the proper sacrificial ceremony to Heaven had turned into such a horrible sight.
