Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

With just one glance, Duan Shuai saw through his son's thoughts and felt ashamed of his past negligence. He reached out to stop Duan Lang and said:

“When I came back before, I saw you practicing the three arts of fist, palm and leg. You have achieved the word ‘complete’, but you inevitably lack the finesse.”

"For the time to come, you will come with me. I will help you refine the Three Ultimate Divine Skills and fill in any gaps in your knowledge. Once you have mastered them, I will teach you the Eclipse Sword Technique."

“Now that my family’s sword technique is passed down, it is no less than any other unique skill. Why do you covet other people’s martial arts and ignore your father, a renowned master?”

"Furthermore, when that senior pointed out the path to the top ten martial arts, he didn't avoid you and me, so he obviously didn't mind if we, father and son, learned it. But if you go to learn it now, can you grasp its essence?"

"I know you care about the family business, but don't be overly ambitious. Be down-to-earth."

Seeing that Duan Lang's expression had softened, Duan Shuai shook his head, picked up his son, and quickly followed Nie Renwang's footsteps, then went to find the stone chamber to cultivate.

………………

Although Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai have doubts about you, if they can avert the great calamity as you say, they would be willing to be at your beck and call.

Bu Jingyun only hopes that the land can be unified as soon as possible so that he can personally kill Xiong Ba and avenge himself.

Although Nie Feng is unwilling to participate in the catastrophe of the martial world, he is willing to help you avert it.

Duan Lang harbors resentment towards you and is determined to accomplish something great in the future, making you look at him with new eyes.

Listening to the system's narration, Su Yuchen only moved his right hand away after everyone had gone far away.

As soon as the servant was released, the fire qilin, which had been suppressed for a long time and unable to move, roared and was about to pounce on Su Yuchen.

Su Yuchen sat in place, a flash of glazed sword light passing through his eyes, and an aura of sword intent that could destroy everything, both tangible and intangible, and annihilate all laws, instantly erupted.

The fire qilin let out a mournful cry, like a bullied cub. Its murderous aura faltered, its limbs went limp, and it immediately knelt down in front of Su Yuchen.

Chapter 555 A Reunion

"If I hadn't come to save you, you would have been doomed in the great calamity."

Su Yuchen patted the Fire Qilin's big head, and a flash of innate Yin-Yang divine light appeared on his body, transforming into a Taiji diagram that carried the Dao Heart Bright Sword into the other's sea of ​​consciousness.

Replenished by the innate Yin-Yang divine light, the black and white divine light in the Fire Qilin's sea of ​​consciousness surged, instantly expanding into a vast expanse of heaven and earth.

The innate Yin-Yang divine light rotated in the sea of ​​consciousness like a Tai Chi symbol, sweeping away endless evil energy with each rotation. After nine cycles and nine refinements, it transformed into pure essence to nourish the Qilin's primordial spirit.

At the same time, a beam of azure sword light crisscrossed the sea of ​​consciousness, with countless sword lights densely attacking the seemingly endless evil energy, helping the Yin-Yang Divine Light to refine the evil energy.

Outside, Su Yuchen's body was filled with innate Yin-Yang divine light and acquired Five Elements divine light, which purified the pervasive cold and fire poisons nine times and then combined them into pure earth vein energy to nourish the Fire Qilin itself.

As more and more of the essence was refined, the fire qilin, which was now only driven by its animalistic instincts, felt a joy from the depths of its soul. It immediately let out a low growl, lay down on the ground, closed its eyes to rest, and waited for its transformation to begin again.

And so, the man and the beast fell into complete silence in the cave.

Every nine days, while the Fire Qilin digests its own essence and falls into a deep sleep, Su Yuchen would pause the refining of the Fire Qilin's essence, explain martial arts to Nie Renwang and the others, and then inject a wisp of life force into Xiong Ba's body to keep him alive.

………………

On the ninth day, while the Fire Qilin was still asleep, Su Yuchen got up and went to take a look at the cave where the Ten Strongest Martial Arts were engraved.

At this moment, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun each occupied a side. The two were born with different natures, and the outward manifestations of their Wind and Cloud Power were also different. However, their observation of the Ten Martial Arts Masters was exactly the opposite:

Amid Bu Jingyun's raging and incomparable cloud energy, there was a fine, rain-like, and endless river of sword energy. The sword energy was hidden and concealed within the surging cloud energy, with one being strong and the other gentle, yin and yang in harmony.

Nie Feng, who was originally calm and gentle, suddenly revealed a terrifying wind blade. The azure wind blade was extremely sharp, and with every move he made, the blade energy was as dense as rain, cutting across the sky. It was both soft and strong, and its power was unparalleled.

At this moment, the two occupied one side of the cave. Their martial arts, though of the same origin but different realms, complemented each other. While mastering their own martial arts, they also used each other's Wind and Cloud Tornado to make up for their own shortcomings, and their martial arts improved at a rapid pace.

Seeing this, Su Yuchen couldn't help but sigh again. Fate was just so unreasonable. In just a few days, the two of them had already become as skilled as a first-class master like Nie Renwang.

Moreover, both of them possessed extraordinary temperaments. At this moment, they continuously observed each other's martial arts, and their martial arts aligned with the destiny of heaven and earth. Their minds entered a state of enlightenment where they were free from thought and feeling. If they could comprehend the essence of heaven and earth, they could leap open the gate of mystery and advance to the realm of martial arts grandmaster.

Dugu Ming, with Su Yuchen's guidance, spent three years achieving this, while the two in front of him learned and practiced on their own in less than ten days!

Shaking his head, not wanting to disturb the two's enlightenment and cultivation, Su Yuchen turned to look at the stone wall on one side of the cave, where a stone carving depicted a three-eyed god riding a fire unicorn, his eyes wide open in anger, and punching.

Upon seeing the human-shaped carving, Su Yuchen felt a tremor in his heart, and couldn't help but recall everything he had seen at the Jingyan Palace in the Tang Dynasty.

The next moment, the innate Yin-Yang divine light appeared on its own. Su Yuchen was in the singularity, separating Yin and Yang heaven and earth, blocking all divination and supernatural powers, and falling into an unknowable state.

"Could it be that he has another connection with True Monarch Qingyuan Miaodao?"

With a thought, Su Yuchen's figure vanished, without giving the stone wall another glance.

Unbeknownst to them, at the moment he disappeared, the eyes of the man on the stone carving seemed to move slightly, before returning to normal without anyone noticing.

………………

You have mastered the Ten Great Martial Arts and the Xuanwu True Skill.

[You have formed a connection with Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun]

You possess innate Yin-Yang divine light; only a supreme sage who has transcended all things can influence you.

You have the opportunity to repay your karmic debts in this world.

Su Yuchen: ...

Feeling the unexpected appearance of the top ten martial arts and Xuanwu True Skill, this is truly... fate!

Shaking his head and chuckling, the innate Yin-Yang divine light spontaneously activated, influencing Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the Dao Seed of Destiny, unleashing the supernatural power of reversing the future:

In some mysterious place, there was a divine being like a pillar supporting the sky, whose face was exactly the same as Su Yuchen's, only more indifferent, with divinity like the sky, divine grace like the sea, and divine might like a prison.

He sat cross-legged on the right palm of the deity, while Feng and Yun looked up at him.

The next second the scene disappeared, and Su Yuchen felt something in his heart. It was the moment when his wish was fulfilled and his primordial spirit underwent the ninth revolution of pure yang.

"So, the cause and effect still lie with Feng and Yun? Are they to pay for the cause and effect? ​​Feng and Yun? The top ten martial artists?"

Su Yuchen pondered for a moment, then considered a possibility. However, these were too far off and could be left for later consideration. Looking at the fire qilin that was about to awaken, Su Yuchen pointed a finger, and the Yin-Yang divine light touched the fire qilin's brow, causing the Yin-Yang Five Elements divine light to once again fill the cave.

………………

It wasn't until the 49th day of the lunar calendar that Su Yuchen closed his eyes and activated his divine light. He saw that the piece of Qilin armor that his fingertips touched had transformed from fiery red to bright yellow. Under the reflection of the light, the bright yellow armor shimmered with multicolored radiance, appearing sacred and inviolable.

When Su Yuchen stopped the divine light purification, a hint of intelligence quietly flashed in the Fire Qilin's open eyes. Its beastly nature had faded considerably, and it had acquired a touch of the legendary divine beast.

When Nie Renwang, Duan Shuai, and the others arrived, they witnessed this very scene.

Su Yuchen glanced around and was certain that Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai had suppressed their inner demons. Duan Shuai's eyes had lost some of their evil intent, and Nie Renwang had lost some of his mania, appearing to be in a much more normal mental state.

Only when the two people's minds gradually become more harmonious can they be qualified to open their inner light and take the first step towards becoming a grandmaster; as for the mysterious gateway, it can only be said that it depends on fate.

However, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, after cultivating for a period of time, now had clear, bright eyes, revealing divine light. They had obviously opened the first aperture of their Xuan Guan and awakened their divine sense. Moreover, their divine sense was refined, indicating that they were not newcomers to this realm.

Next, all he needed to do was focus on comprehending the essence of the martial arts world, and then he could attempt to condense his martial spirit. In just over a month, he caught up with the Sword Saint and the Nameless One's level of cultivation over half a lifetime!

Moreover, their skills are now on par with Nie Renwang and his companion. They are now at a high enough level to comprehend the primordial spirit, and all that is missing is true qi.

Duan Lang's martial arts are slightly weaker, but his impure nature, arrogance, and jealousy inevitably slow down his progress. However, he always takes it upon himself to revitalize the Duan family. Despite his impure nature, he is incredibly resilient and possesses the martial arts talent to enter the Dao through the seven emotions and six desires in the world of Joy of Life.

After assessing the situation of each person, Su Yuchen offered a few words of advice based on their individual circumstances.

………………

"It seems you've decided to leave." Seeing that the group hadn't left, Su Yuchen asked calmly.

Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai bowed with their hands clasped.

Duan Shuai said, "The great calamity of China is imminent. We juniors are willing to contribute our share to restore peace to China as soon as possible."

Nie Renwang said, "Moreover, my martial arts progress has slowed down. In the future, I only need to focus on honing my skills. This can also be done in the World Society. It is better to go to the World Society as soon as possible and pacify the North."

Chapter 556 Taking Action Against Xiong Ba

Hearing what Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai said, Su Yuchen was not surprised, nodded, and said:

"Since you have already made your decision, I have nothing more to teach you."

"However, there are some things I still need to tell you."

"Besides Xiong Ba, the World Society also includes Xiong Ba's father, the Purple-Clad Boss, and the remaining Twelve Assassins of Tianchi from back then, who are hiding in the shadows."

"Boss in purple, this man was once a master in the martial arts underworld. His ultimate technique, 'Returning Blood Hand,' can forcibly absorb the opponent's power and even their essence and spirit, and turn it into his own. You must be careful about this."

"As for the Tianchi assassins, they are not particularly difficult to deal with."

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed, and Xiong Ba, who was in a distant corner, flew over and landed in his palm.

With a thought, Su Yuchen's primordial spirit invaded the other's mind with his immense divine sense, and Xiong Ba's memories were like a book, which he arbitrarily erased and altered.

When Xiong Ba wakes up, he will only remember that in the past month or so, he defeated Yin Kuangdao and Nan Lin Jian Shou three times in a row with his own martial arts skills, and tricked them into joining the World Society by threatening them with an oath, so that they could become martial arts instructors of the World Society and fight for him in the martial arts world.

Moreover, he also took in the two men's sons, Duan Lang and Nie Feng, to join the World Alliance, thus gathering the power of the wind and clouds.

However, due to defeating the combined attack of two people, his meridians and acupoints were severely damaged, and his true energy could only remain in his dantian and could not be easily used.

………………

Upon understanding what Su Yuchen had done, both Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai were secretly shocked. Such a method of arbitrarily altering other people's memories and turning falsehood into truth was simply unheard of.

What truly terrifies Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai is that if such a person acts recklessly, it would be more terrifying than any great calamity. After all, death is not frightening; what is frightening is living a life worse than death, being manipulated at someone's mercy.

"When Xiong Ba wakes up and discovers his abnormality, given his nature, he will definitely hide his injuries and secretly devise a solution after returning to the world."

"With you by our side, and the Tianchi assassins who could turn on us at any moment, the only thing he can think of is to kill the Purple-Clad Leader, seize the Returning Blood Hand, and plunder the essence of the Purple-Clad Leader and the Tianchi assassins. You'll have to be careful then."

"However, I have already tampered with his soul beforehand. When he wants to attack you, the thoughts hidden in his soul will tell him that he will not attack you for the sake of his great cause of conquering the world. He will only deal with you after his great cause is accomplished."

"However, even without you, he will still absorb the essence of the martial arts masters he imprisoned in the World Society's dungeon, so that he will have the strength to take you down in one fell swoop at the last moment."

Duan Shuai frowned and asked in confusion, "In that case, wouldn't Xiong Ba's true energy grow indefinitely? With his destiny in his grasp, won't he become another Xiao Aoshi and Xiao Jingtian?"

Su Yuchen said calmly:

"I have never seen the Returning Blood Hand, I only know that it has some kind of fatal flaw."

"But just in case, I left a hint in his soul that he would not only absorb their true energy, but also their essence and spirit."

"This kind of pleasure—gaining something for nothing and easily obtaining what others achieve in a lifetime—is addictive. After a few times, Xiong Ba himself couldn't stop."

"While acquiring the memories of those people's martial arts training, the remnants of their souls will also remain in his mental will. The more he absorbs, the more different thoughts will arise in his mind, and the faster he will go mad in the end."

"Once the mind is deranged, those alien true energies will become uncontrollable, attacking each other, making life worse than death."

"However, he still has a destiny to fulfill, so I need to make more preparations."

Amidst the bewildered looks of the others, Su Yuchen reached out and grabbed at the Yin-Yang Pool not far away. As he absorbed true essence, the poison of ice and fire, formed from the baleful energy condensed in the deep pool, transformed from formless and intangible into wisps of black-red and dark blue energy.

With just one glance, Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai were overwhelmed with a sense of unease, feeling as if all the painful and dark thoughts of the past were resurfacing in their minds, and they couldn't help but want to destroy everything in front of them.

Nie Feng's Ice Heart Technique circulated spontaneously, but he still couldn't help feeling irritable. His blood was inexplicably hot, and a flash of scarlet light appeared in his eyes.

Bu Jingyun was overcome with grief. The past, which had been sealed in his heart, resurfaced one by one, and his hatred for Xiong Ba reached its peak.

Duan Lang looked at that wisp of aura and felt an urge to kill the children from the neighboring village who had bullied him, as well as the villagers who had mocked him. He wanted to destroy everyone who refused to submit to him, and everyone should be forced to submit to him.

Seeing that the group was breathing heavily, clouds of mist rose from Su Yuchen's palm, obscuring everything.

"What the hell is that?" Nie Renwang asked, his eyes filled with fear and violence.

Su Yuchen said calmly:

"Those are the murderous aura of this world, the evil energy condensed from the poison in people's hearts, which is the essence of the great calamity."

"However, these evil energies were absorbed by the earth's dragon veins a long time ago and buried deep underground. Heaven and earth intended to use the earth's benevolent power of nurturing all things to dispel the evil energies."

"Unfortunately, human greed is insatiable, and the evil energy is increasing, spreading throughout the world, to the point that the earth cannot digest it, ultimately polluting the earth's dragon veins and turning into fire poison and cold poison."

"The Qilin was originally an auspicious beast of the earth, responsible for regulating the earth's energy and protecting heaven and earth; but in the end, due to the filth of the earth's veins, the Qilin was polluted and transformed into a ferocious beast of heaven and earth."

As he spoke, Su Yuchen clenched his palm, compressing the fire poison and cold poison into a thin sheet with a special structure. With a flick of his finger, the murderous aura, like an ice shard, flew into Xiong Ba's Baihui acupoint.

"This is a poison of heaven and earth, with no cure. I planted it into the soul of the Overlord. With daily erosion, the soul will gradually become riddled with holes. Over time, the soul will inevitably weaken and become drowsy day by day."

"Even if Xiong Ba was unwilling, by the time the World Alliance unified the north, he would no longer have the strength to do what he wanted."

"When the land is unified, the calamity will leak out to Japan, and Xiong Ba will be useless. Bu Jingyun, you can do whatever you want with him."

Bu Jingyun looked calmly at Xiong Ba on the ground and nodded.

Su Yuchen waved his hand, signaling them to leave.

………………

Several hours later, outside Lingyun Cave, on the Buddha's knees.

Xiong Ba awoke from his daze and was immediately startled. He tried to circulate his inner energy, but felt as if his internal organs were on fire, so he quickly suppressed his thoughts.
