Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

Wushuang City, City Lord's Mansion.

As soon as the young Dugu Ming returned to his residence, the Great Protector Shi Wuzun came to his door.

"Did the young city lord go to see that Taoist Master Su?"

Dugu Ming nodded and said, "After all, he is a master of the martial arts world. Since he has no ill intentions, it would be good to make his acquaintance with him."

After thinking about it, Shi Wuzun did not try to dissuade him, but he still had some concerns. After all, the other party was all alone, and if he really had any ideas, it would be too late.

"If the young city lord goes next time, he might as well invite me to go with him."

Dugu Ming nodded and asked, "Where is Father?"

Without a second thought, Shi Wuzun said directly, "The city lord should be handling affairs in his study."

Dugu Ming nodded, seemingly lost in thought. Shi Wuzun remained unhurried, waiting silently.

After a moment, Dugu Ming said, "If Father doesn't ask about Master Su, don't mention it yet. If he does, just say he's a martial arts practitioner."

“Young City Lord…” Shi Wuzun said hurriedly.

Dugu Ming frowned, waved his hand, and said firmly, "Do as I say."

After a slight hesitation, Shi Wuzun looked at Dugu Ming's determined expression and finally nodded.

After Shi Wuzun left, Dugu Ming sat alone in the room, muttering to himself, "Father? Is he really my father? He's completely different from what Mother described!"

After hesitating for a moment, Dugu Ming gave a bitter smile, then clenched his fist to suppress his emotions. He took out a thin book from a hidden compartment in the room: "The Dragon Subduing Heart Method".

………………

"Before my mother died, she said that the family's Dragon-Subduing Divine Leg technique was actually called the 'Dragon-Subduing Tiger-Taming Heart Sutra,' so why did my father call it the 'Dragon-Subduing Heart Method'?"

Where exactly is the second half of "The Tiger-Taming Mind Technique"?

"Why is the father my mother described completely different from the one I see now? Why did my mother die so early? Why was my father so indifferent when he learned of my mother's death?"

"Why have my teachers not paid attention all these years? I am the sole heir of Wushuang City, my father!"

"Father, the coldness in your eyes can't fool me..."

In the room, only the boy's increasingly cold voice lingered.

Chapter 538 Heaven Cries

Just as Su Yuchen was immersed in cultivation, stirring up the primordial energy of the nine heavens.

In an unknown mountain forest, inside a thatched hut, an old man who looked like a woodcutter, with dry, yellow hair and a face covered in sores, suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky.

"Who is it that isn't in the Heavenly Crying Scripture?"

………………

In the inn.

A shadow suddenly descended upon Su Yuchen's primordial spirit. The shadow shrank and transformed into a transparent thread, about to penetrate into the primordial spirit.

Suddenly, from his primordial spirit, Yin-Yang divine light and five-colored divine light erupted one after another. A glass-colored sword light containing seven colors flashed by. An extremely sharp sword light, like the moon in the water and a flower in the mirror, cut away the inexplicably appearing thread from a distance.

The next second, Su Yuchen's primordial spirit suddenly erupted, and the seven-colored sword light of glazed glass was about to slash along the silk thread across the endless void, but unexpectedly the silk thread suddenly dispersed, turning into starlight and scattered in his sea of ​​consciousness.

On his primordial spirit, the innate Yin-Yang divine light stirred, and the seed of destiny quietly lit up, absorbing all the specks of light. In Su Yuchen's already opened eyes, he saw the figure with a face full of festering sores.

"Divine appearance, clay Bodhisattva."

The next moment, the image completely disappeared.

You stirred up the winds and clouds of the heavens and refined the primordial energy of this world, thus being captured by the 'Heavenly Cry Scripture'.

With a sword of Dao heart, you severed the cause and effect of this world, and you saw the 'Heavenly Cry Scripture'.

Su Yuchen stood up by the window and looked towards the east of the city, where an extremely sharp and ruthless sword aura flashed by like a pillar supporting the sky.

Just as Su Yuchen 'looked' over there, in the mountains not far from Wushuang City, a figure flashed outside a thatched hut in the bamboo forest, looked up at the sky, and in his cold eyes, sword light burst forth, showing no other emotion besides the sword.

After a long while, the figure flickered and disappeared through the doorway, leaving no trace.

Your sword intent awakened the Sword Saint, who was in seclusion in the mountains outside the city. In pursuit of the ultimate sword strike, he hesitated for a long time before deciding to continue his seclusion.

Upon seeing the narration, Su Yuchen remained silent for a moment, then put down the Sword Saint.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Su Yuchen formed a sword incantation, his body swirling with yin and yang. Using his body as a guide, he separated yin and yang. At the very moment when yin and yang were in harmony, 'Reverse Knowing the Future' used the flowing light within the Seed of Destiny as a guide. Su Yuchen saw that hunched figure again, and immediately a sword intent shot out along the void.

The clay bodhisattva, far away in an unknown place, was about to bend down and pick up the basket on the ground when suddenly his expression changed, his face contorted in extreme pain. An invisible net opened up beside him, then spun and twisted, turning into a single point that exploded.

The next second, the clay bodhisattva let out a wail, covered its face with its hands, and rolled on the ground, howling in pain.

After a long while, the mud bodhisattva, as if exhausted, got up from the ground. His face, which was already covered with festering sores, was now even more vivid and striking, as if it were about to burst open at any moment. A faint sword mark ran from his forehead to his chin, splitting his face in two.

After a while, the clay bodhisattva got up, picked up his basket, and hurriedly headed towards the other side of the forest, his panicked figure resembling someone fleeing for their life.

[Your cause and effect have been disrupted by the 'Heavenly Crying Sutra,' and you have lost sight of the Clay Bodhisattva.]

"They're still alive? No wonder they're the creations of Cangjie, they have the power to stir up all cause and effect and destiny."

Knowing that Mud Bodhisattva had once again disappeared and that his karmic ties had been completely severed, Su Yuchen finally understood the power of the 'Heavenly Cry Scripture' in this realm.

Looking at the point of light that was being held back in his primordial spirit, Su Yuchen was not in a hurry. As long as this connection existed, within a certain range, even the Heavenly Cry Scripture could not stop the ability to reverse the future supported by the innate Yin-Yang divine light and the seed of destiny.

With a flash, Su Yuchen disappeared from the inn.

………………

Just as the two sword intents erupted instantly, countless martial artists in Wushuang City, wielding longswords, experienced inexplicable tremors in their left hands. Those with weaker skills couldn't even hold their swords properly, and many looked at each other in bewilderment.

In a mansion somewhere in the city, an old woman and a young girl walked out of the hall at the same time and looked up at the sky.

Behind the two, on the north side of the hall, a pair of identical longswords seemed to be stimulated, emitting a faint hum.

Inside the city lord's mansion, Dugu Yifang, Dugu Ming, and Shi Wuzun leaped out of the house one after another, and all of them saw the sword intent that flashed by in the sky.

That wisp of sword intent, 'ruthless and heartless' and 'slaying nothing,' was enough to send chills down one's spine with just a glance.

"Where did this sword master come from? Such a master? Why would he be near Wushuang City? Could it be because of him?" The fake Dugu Yifang instantly thought of the Sword Saint.

This is why, even though the real Dugu Yifang has been missing for a long time, he still dares not invade Wushuang City. With a super strong person like the Sword Saint, he will always be just a fake.

That is why he never dared to harbor any disloyalty. Although he did not impart all his knowledge to Dugu Ming, he never lied.

Dugu Ming immediately thought of Su Yuchen in the inn. He always felt that such a person was definitely a martial arts master. At this moment, he made up his mind and got up to leave the city lord's mansion.

………………

A mansion somewhere in the city.

Su Yuchen's figure blurred as he appeared at the entrance of the hall. In another flash, he was standing in front of the two long swords by the wall.

"This is a love story that could topple cities."

After carefully examining the two longswords, Su Yuchen reached out to take them. The two swords trembled, and with a hum, sword energy emanated from them, refusing Su Yuchen's touch.

Su Yuchen smiled, and a flash of azure sword light appeared on the tip of his right finger. The two longswords let out a mournful cry, as if they were suppressed by something, and then fell silent.

Su Yuchen covered the sword with his primordial spirit and sensed it carefully for a moment. He could still feel the sword's resistance, even its determination to destroy itself. He couldn't help but shake his head: "In heaven, we wish to be birds flying wing to wing; on earth, we wish to be trees with intertwined branches. A sword with love stronger than gold is not meant for me."

These two swords are swords of love. The truer the affection and the deeper the love, the more the sword will recognize it, thereby drawing upon the power contained within the sword and communicating with the primordial energy of heaven and earth to transform it into sword energy, which is inexhaustible.

Not only can they transform into a long river of sword energy to fight enemies, but they can also use the sword energy of love to cleanse their bodies, reforge their sword bones, and become a sword-wielding couple.

However, he did not come for these two longswords. A flash of black and white divine light appeared on his primordial spirit, and a wisp of sword energy from each of the two longswords landed in his palm. Su Yuchen activated the sword energy with his primordial spirit, and the next moment he sensed a certain space deep underground in the mansion.

His figure flickered and disappeared again.

Not long after he left, the old woman and the young girl arrived.

The old woman came to the wall, looked at the two long swords, and frowned. She felt that the swords seemed to have been severely damaged and appeared weak and powerless.

The old woman was startled and immediately reached out to grab them. Unexpectedly, the two longswords trembled, and an extremely sharp sword aura rushed towards her in an instant.

The old woman's expression changed, and she grabbed the little girl and swept her away. Two sword energies grazed her cheeks and disappeared in a flash, leaving only two strands of white hair floating to the ground.

"What happened? Someone touched the Love of the City? Who came here?" The old woman muttered to herself, looking at the still trembling longsword with a puzzled expression.

The little girl beside her shook her head, looking at the two longswords that seemed to be resisting, and said in confusion, "Mingyue doesn't know either."

Chapter 539 Azure Dragon Crescent Blade

Su Yuchen's figure flickered and he appeared beside a rockery in the backyard of the mansion. He swept his divine sense across the rockery and stepped into the winding path of the rockery. He reached out and pressed down, and continued to walk forward.

Deep within the artificial hill, a dark cave entrance was revealed. Su Yuchen stepped inside and was greeted by a row of downward steps.

Initially, it could only accommodate one person at a time, but after walking down more than ten feet, it seemed to have entered a natural underground cave.

The cave is dry and refreshing. The stone walls on both sides shimmer with a faint sense of sharpness, which has polished the originally natural cave walls to an exceptionally smooth surface. The light from the sharp blades reflects off the stone walls, illuminating the cave.

Su Yuchen moved with light steps, crossing the long cave in just a few strides and arriving at the end of the cavern.

At the end of the cave, on a man-made stone platform, a bronze-like Green Dragon Crescent Blade is stuck in the center, its blade gleaming with a bright silver luster.

You saw the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

This sword belonged to Guan Yu, the God of War. In the past, the world was divided into three kingdoms. With his heart full of righteousness, love and purity, the God of War suddenly realized the meaning of love that could topple cities and intended to end the chaos and restore peace to the world.

This move is as fast as light and can shatter the void. When the Martial Saint used this move, the power to shatter the void completely obliterated an entire city.

The narration, seemingly tinged with admiration and appreciation, rang in Su Yuchen's ears.

The next second, before Su Yuchen could take a closer look, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade trembled, and a glint of light suddenly appeared on its blade; Su Yuchen's vision went white as a three-foot-long sword, neither gold nor wood, with a purple-blue blade, appeared before him.

With a 'ding', after an invisible collision, the three-foot-wide void in front of them trembled, and a patch of darkness appeared, from which a tremendous suction force emanated.

Su Yuchen reached out and grasped the longsword, which fell into his palm. With a casual wave, the longsword disappeared, leaving only a beam of light illuminating the cave. The sword light stirred, and the patch of darkness in the spot vanished. Su Yuchen had disappeared into the cave.

On the stone platform, the Green Dragon Crescent Blade trembled, but sensing no Su Yuchen's presence, it fell silent again, leaving only crisscrossing sword and saber marks on the two stone walls, densely covering the entire surface.

At the entrance to the artificial hill, Su Yuchen shook his head as he looked at the cave entrance.

Your path is not in accordance with the Martial Saint's; you have not gained the divine weapon's approval.

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade, like its master, is proud and aloof from all corners of the world. The loneliness of its long years has led it to choose to attack you.

[You chose to retreat. If you continue, the power to shatter the void will break through it, and the immense energy will only drag Wushuang City into the endless void, utterly annihilating it.]

Su Yuchen swung his longsword, and light appeared for a moment again. Then, countless sword marks intertwined along both sides of the steps, with a faint killing intent flickering within them.

Even if someone discovers this place in the future, the moment they step onto the steps, they will be dragged into an illusion by the sword intent left behind by Su Yuchen. If they do not break the sword intent, they can only be forced back by the sword moves; if they try to force their way in, their primordial spirit will be shattered by the sword intent, resulting in either mental breakdown or death.

The next second, the longsword in Su Yuchen's hand turned into a stream of light and disappeared. Su Yuchen flicked his finger to close the mechanism and vanished.

………………

Just as the long sword appeared in Su Yuchen's hand, in the backyard of a certain restaurant, a tall figure wearing a blue robe, with a weathered look in his eyes, paused, looked up at the sky, and then clenched his fist, and a long sword hanging on the wall appeared in his hand.

As it was held in someone's hand, the longsword seemed to be blessed, emitting a 'humming' sound, and wisps of sword energy emerged from the scabbard.

The figure gripped the hilt of the sword with his right hand and pressed down, and the longsword ceased all its strange behavior.

"Hero's Sword, you felt it too. What a terrifying sword, a sword that reigns supreme." The figure exclaimed, gripping the longsword.

After a moment of hesitation, the figure hung the longsword back on the wall. Not long after, a small figure ran in and said, "Master, something terrible has happened! All the swords in the Sword Pavilion have fallen to the ground."

………………

In Wushuang City, Su Yuchen appeared in the inn as if he had never left. After a moment of thought, he shook his head, realizing that he was not yet at his peak.

He immediately sat cross-legged in the room and resumed his cultivation.

Ten days later.

Su Yuchen opened his eyes, and a flash of black and white divine light swept away the remaining vital energy.

The next second, Su Yuchen appeared at the window; at the same time, Dugu Ming also appeared in front of the moon gate, accompanied by Shi Wuzun.

Dugu Ming turned his head and said a few words. Shi Wuzun nodded and remained in the courtyard without coming in.

"Greetings, Mr. Su," Dugu Ming said, bowing.

[Dugu Ming wandered through Wushuang City for ten days, and the young man seemed to have a vague answer in his heart, but he was confused.]

Su Yuchen pointed to the tea table beside him and asked, "Do you have an answer?"

Dugu Ming shook his head and said:

"I do not know either."
