Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

Seeing Venerable Shi Wuzun and the martial arts experts recruited by Wushuang City appear to the side, Su Yuchen glanced around and looked at one of the people, asking, "Are you a Wudang disciple?"

The Taoist priest was no more than twenty years old, wearing a yin-yang Taoist robe, carrying a long sword on his back, and his hair was casually tied into a Taoist bun, exuding a free and easy spirit with a touch of ethereal movement.

At this point, the skill of life and death has been mastered. Unfortunately, it still lacks a certain foundation, probably because a part of the lineage was lost when Wudang suffered a calamity in this world.

"This junior is Jingchen from Wudang. May I ask what your instructions are, senior?" the Taoist priest asked, bowing.

Thinking of Zhang Sanfeng, whose whereabouts are unknown, Su Yuchen sighed and said with a smile, "I have a connection with Wudang."

With that, he waved his hand, and the long sword behind the Taoist priest was already in his palm. Su Yuchen flicked his finger, and dense sword energy surged like a tide, landing on the sword.

With a flick of his wrist, the longsword fell back onto his back.

"I once had the opportunity to practice the Pure Yang Wuji Gong and the Taijiquan Jing. I'd like to share some of my humble insights with you," Su Yuchen said telepathically.

………………

Ignoring the young Taoist priest, Su Yuchen said to Shi Wuzun, "He still needs some time to accept the inheritance. You stay here and protect him."

Seeing that Shi Wuzun bowed his head in agreement, Su Yuchen patted the Qilin, and the two of them leaped over the hill and headed north. It was time to go and see the World Society.

Now that the Human Emperor has been chosen, Xiong Ba's destiny should be fading. Hopefully, the World Society won't cause any trouble, especially Duan Lang, otherwise I'll have no choice but to deal with him.

………………

Just as the succession of the Human Emperor was born, and the Mandate of Heaven was about to change once again.

In a secluded courtyard in a town on the way north, a mud statue with a face covered in sores rolled around in the room, biting a wooden stick.

After a long while, the clay bodhisattva got up, panting, the wooden stick in his mouth already chewed into pieces.

The Mud Bodhisattva opened the door, panting. The Fire Monkey, who had been standing in a daze in the courtyard, cheered and jumped onto his shoulder, biting his face.

The clay bodhisattva looked at the clear blue sky, his face full of resentment, and muttered angrily, "It's not the north, it's definitely not the north, damn it, could it be the south? Where is it?"

Chapter 565 Step by Step - Bai Suzhen

Su Yuchen traveled north and crossed the Yellow River. The people there were not quite in dire straits, but they were close.

The reason for this is that six of the ten major sects in this world are located in the north, so although the World Society was unstoppable at the beginning, it also encountered a lot of obstacles.

Especially for sects like Shaolin, which have existed for thousands of years and have unfathomable depths, countless forces are secretly involved.

Even if Shaolin itself did not intervene, the forces that were affiliated with Shaolin could not be easily bypassed by the World Society.

In addition, the imperial court, which is nominally the supreme authority in the martial arts world, is secretly obstructing their efforts.

Although the imperial court had declined and its influence could not even extend beyond the few cities under the control of the capital, even a broken ship has some nails.

Therefore, although the World Society was powerful, it made slow progress in the face of the resistance from the six major sects and the imperial court. As a result, the Jianghu in the north was in constant war, leading to the decline of people's livelihood.

[Demon Lord Bu Bai Suzhen hides in Shaolin Wooden Dummy Alley, establishing the Six Great Demon Crossings]

This was a progressive figure who advocated for the overthrow of the imperial system and the establishment of a democratic republic.

Passing through Kaifeng, Henan that day, Su Yuchen looked up in the direction of Shaoshi Mountain and decided to go to Shaolin Temple.

The man and the beast turned and ran into the dense forest. The Qilin leaped over the high mountain cliffs and easily arrived at the Wooden Dummy Alley in the back mountain of Shaolin.

Su Yuchen had visited Shaoshi Mountain in several worlds, but in terms of desolation, this Shaolin Temple was the most desolate, giving people a sense of gloom and stagnation.

Su Yuchen wandered through Shaolin Temple. Apart from a few key locations, the outer halls were in a state of ruin and desolation. Even the monks on duty were just novice monks who had only practiced a few moves of Arhat Fist.

After glancing around casually, Su Yuchen went directly to the Wooden Dummy Alley in the back mountain. He pushed open the heavy iron gate, and the ground was covered in dust, indicating that no one had been there for a long time.

"That makes sense. Shaolin is closing its mountains to avoid trouble. Why would they allow their disciples to challenge the Wooden Dummy Alley and leave a mark so that people know they are Shaolin disciples?" After thinking about it for a moment, Su Yuchen understood the reason.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Su Yuchen flicked his finger, striking a floor tile at the entrance. Amidst a series of booming sounds, oil lamps lit up on the stone walls on both sides, illuminating the Wooden Dummy Alley.

As the oil lamps were lit, a series of pre-set mechanisms were triggered. Amidst the clanging of iron chains, the stone walls on both sides opened one by one, and a total of eighteen wooden figures appeared under the pull of the mechanisms, blocking the long alleyway.

Each wooden figure is incredibly lifelike, with a dark golden body that is almost the size of a real person. It is unknown what material they are made of, as they combine a sense of lightness with a sense of weight.

As Su Yuchen stepped forward, the two wooden figures in front of him clasped their hands in a salute. One of the wooden figures threw a punch, the wind from the punch bursting out like a roaring tiger, creating ripples in the air and stirring up clouds of dust. The other wooden figure pointed out a finger in mid-air, the move being the Shaolin Vajra Finger, the finger force sharp and whistling as it pointed towards Su Yuchen's shoulder blade.

Faced with the combined attack of the two wooden figures, Su Yuchen appeared behind them in a flash. As he continued forward, he triggered a chain reaction of mechanisms, and the wooden figures leaped up at the same time, attacking Su Yuchen.

"Vajra Palm, Tara Leaf Finger, Autumn Wind and Falling Leaves Kick, Discipline Knife..."

Su Yuchen moved like the wind and clouds, his figure drifting as if in the void. Amidst the encirclement of the eighteen wooden figures, he swayed with the strong wind, not a single leaf touching him.

In an instant, the Wooden Dummy Alley was filled with densely packed figures, with strong winds howling, yet it was completely silent.

………………

"coming!"

At one moment, Su Yuchen's casual figure flashed into view, and with a few light claps of his right hand, he sent the wooden figures outwards. After landing, the eighteen wooden figures connected to form an array, and the energy surging between them collided like a vortex.

With the alleyway as the human body background, the postures and movements of several wooden figures represent meridians and acupoints. Su Yuchen turned his head and looked at the first column on the right, which was a special meridian circulation diagram.

Su Yuchen's primordial spirit spun around, and without moving his body, he had already memorized all the Qi circulation diagrams. The next second, all the wooden figures changed their moves, and as they combined, the originally colliding vortexes also combined, transforming into a huge true Qi tornado that rapidly advanced towards Su Yuchen. It was none other than Bodhidharma's 'Primordial Extreme Maha Boundless'.

Faced with the ever-growing tornado of true energy rushing towards him, Su Yuchen looked disappointed and casually swung his palm, sending a three-meter-high pale golden palm print towards the tornado.

"It turns out to be an incomplete version of the Buddha's light shining everywhere."

The pale golden palm print was like a phantom, yet it was indestructible. The moment the enormous tornado touched it, it shattered like a wave with a 'pop'.

[This world's Bodhidharma took the sixth form of the Tathagata Palm as the origin, and combined it with the Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing to create the 'Yuanji Maha Wuliang'.]

[If a monk possesses profound Buddhist knowledge and has a naturally developed foundation, this technique can quickly help him accumulate true energy, cleanse his marrow and transform his body, and cultivate an indestructible golden body.]

Upon seeing the narration, Su Yuchen shook his head, then flicked his sleeve. The eighteen wooden figures that were rapidly approaching from all sides were struck as if by lightning, their figures halting for a moment before they were swept backward.

As the wooden figure fell into the hidden doors on both sides, the stone doors closed one after another, and the alleyway returned to silence.

………………

"So, have you learned it?"

Su Yuchen glanced at the shadows to the side, and as he finished speaking, a slender figure emerged from the darkness.

The woman was dressed in white. Perhaps because she had not appeared in the world for too long, her slender figure had a pale complexion, and her eyes were unusually calm, like a stagnant pool of water, without any ripples.

This woman is none other than Bai Suzhen of this world.

The next moment, the woman flashed and appeared in front of Su Yuchen. Her right hand pressed against Su Yuchen's chest, and a chaotic, incoherent chanting of scriptures, like the whispers of the abyss, confused his five senses and six consciousnesses. At the same time, a chilling, bone-piercing force struck Su Yuchen's chest.

Su Yuchen watched quietly, feeling the divine sense impacting his primordial spirit, and the icy true energy that twisted and spun, carrying various changes of positive and negative, spiral and reverse, and said calmly: "This is the Scripture Crossing and Ice Crossing of the Six Great Demon Crossings?"

Missing her first attack, Bu Bai Suzhen dodged backward.

Su Yuchen pointed with his right index finger, and a wisp of silvery-white light appeared. As soon as he appeared, frost spread from the stone walls on both sides of Su Yuchen toward Bu Bai Suzhen. Countless ice spikes, as sharp as swords, transformed into a cold ice cage, faster than her, enveloping her in the cage.

"Bai Suzhen!"

For the first time, Bai Suzhen showed a hint of surprise, looking at Su Yuchen with astonishment and asking, "Who are you?"

Instead of answering, Su Yuchen asked, "Is your ideal to overthrow the imperial system and achieve a democratic republic?"

Bai Suzhen remained silent.

Su Yuchen didn't need her to answer and continued, "Ideals are good, but unfortunately, the current society doesn't have the foundation to realize them."

"Society? Is it about people forming associations, and associations forming societies?" Bai Suzhen thought for a moment and then understood.

Su Yuchen waved his hand, dispelling the icy prison, and said:

"Human beings are the foundation. The entire human race as a whole is a society, which is independent of the world. Under it, there are social groups formed independently by various ideologies."

"You can overthrow the imperial system, but you can't achieve a democratic republic."

"The reason for this is that our society today does not have the conditions for a democratic republic."

Chapter 566 The Contingency Plan, The Changes in the World Society

At the end of Wooden Dummy Alley.

Su Yuchen and Bu Bai Suzhen sat facing each other.

"The economic base determines the superstructure."

"In this society, the common people at the bottom are still struggling to get enough to eat and wear, and are still struggling to survive. For them, filling their stomachs and staying alive are the primary tasks. What is democracy? Can it mean not to go hungry? Can it mean not to be bullied by martial artists?"

"Your dream must be built on the foundation of first being able to fill your stomach, even if it's just the simplest, most unpalatable food; secondly, you must ensure that ordinary people are not trampled upon in the face of powerful martial artists, which requires restraining martial artists."

"Only with this foundation can you consider enlightening the people, giving them the time and awareness to think about your ideas."

Bu Bai Suzhen shook her head and said, "As long as they are willing to resist and defeat the enemy, they can naturally obtain land, food, and even martial arts manuals, thereby strengthening themselves."

Su Yuchen said calmly:

"But that would kill a lot of people."

"When people are not enlightened, their own family is more important than the larger family, and the continuation of family bloodline is more important than anything else; no one is willing to sacrifice themselves to help others."

"Only by enlightening the people, finding like-minded people, and working together can we achieve something. Martial arts may be powerful, but they cannot change people's hearts."

Bu Bai Suzhen thought for a moment and asked, "Have you ever seen a true democratic republic? I can see it in your eyes."

Su Yuchen smiled, his gaze lingering on the stone wall, seemingly looking away. He said, "There was indeed such a world once. Although absolute democracy could not be guaranteed, ordinary people were no longer wantonly enslaved and trampled upon, and their dignity and material needs were basically guaranteed."

At this point, he smiled and said to Bu Bai Suzhen, "There was once a group of people who braved thorns and brambles, blazed a trail, and forged their own path to democracy and republic. Would you like to hear about it?"

Bu Bai Suzhen nodded.

"I once read a book called 'Selected Works of Mao Zedong'..."

The sound echoed through the secluded mountain path, leading Bu Bai Suzhen into that strange world.

………………

After a long time, in the Wooden Dummy Alley, Bu Bai Suzhen's eyes shone like stars, as if she had seen a completely different world.

Su Yuchen sat quietly to the side, not disturbing him.

After a long while, Bu Bai Suzhen snapped out of her thoughts and asked, "Why did you teach me these things?"

Su Yuchen smiled and said:

"A major transformation is taking place in the outside world, and it will soon enter a new imperial society."

"But the imperial system will eventually come to an end. Centuries later, I hope that a new system can be reborn from the ruins of the imperial system, and you are the path I have reserved for this society."

"The people of China are suffering too much. I hope this path can help them explore it more quickly. If there can be less sacrifice and less bloodshed, why wouldn't I do it?"

You have contributed to the humane evolution of this world.

You have received humanitarian recognition.

You have gained unspeakable benefits, such as the dissipation of Xiong Ba's destiny.

[Explore for more benefits yourself]

Listening to the voices constantly updating from the narration system, Su Yuchen got up and disappeared into the alley, leaving only Bu Bai Suzhen in deep thought.

The new seeds quietly took root and sprouted, awaiting society's selection.

Leaving Shaoshi Mountain, Su Yuchen did not linger. He and his beast leaped over the Great Wall and headed towards Tianshan Mountain in the wilderness.

………………

The Tianshan Mountains stretch across Xinjiang from east to west, with a vast and expansive range.

It is precisely because of the existence of this giant mountain range that basins of varying sizes, glaciers, rivers, forests, and grasslands have formed along the Tian Shan Mountains, sustaining the many people living there and becoming the main source of resources for the Tianxia Society.

The Qilin transformed into a streak of light, galloping freely across the boundless grasslands. Along the way, large and small caravans traveled between the Central Plains and the World Society, forming a vast commercial trade network.

As you ascend the Tianshan Mountains, the temperature drops sharply, and the area is covered in thick layers of ice and snow. On the main peak of the Tianshan Mountains, mandalas are built along the mountainside, connecting mountain paths and forming passes leading up the mountain.

Above the altar, imposing figures stood tall, their wolf-like gazes sweeping down and surveying everything within sight; like an army, members of the World Society patrolled back and forth along the mountain paths, with overt and covert sentries covering the entire World Society headquarters.

At this moment, in the main altar of the World Society, in the Number One Building Under Heaven.

Inside the main hall, which symbolizes the throne of the gang leader, two forces are clashing. One of them is the majority of the World Society's forces, led by Bu Jingyun, Nie Feng, Duan Lang, Nie Renwang, and Duan Shuai.

On the other side were Xiong Ba and Qin Shuang, with their left arms drooping to the side, and a figure that looked like a child, accompanied by two other figures, one fat and one thin. They were both cooperating and wary of Xiong Ba's group.

Behind a pillar at the entrance of the main hall, a figure covered his mouth, cowering in fear and trembling.

At this moment, Xiong Ba looked terrified, his eyes sometimes clear and sometimes confused. If it weren't for the pain caused by the abnormal twisting of his left arm, Xiong Ba seemed likely to fall into a coma at any moment.
