Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

[Wu Wudi broke through the Xuan Guan acupoint, merging the true essence of the ten strongest martial arts, 'with a tiger in his heart, yet also able to gently smell a rose,' achieving mastery of the martial arts primordial spirit.]

[The curse of the martial world is lifted, and the Xuanwu True Skill is mastered.]

[Martial World comprehends the Heavenly Fate Blade Technique and the Ten Tribulations of the Evil King, comprehending the 'Selfless Blade Intent'. All things in heaven and earth are contained within this blade; apart from the self, there is no blade in heaven and earth.]

As they fell out of the illusion, the Wu brothers each gained something. Wu Tianxia stood in the pavilion, where the endless primordial energy refined by the innate Yin-Yang Taiji Diagram transformed into strands of true energy, propelling his martial arts to advance rapidly.

Behind Wu Wudi, in the eyes of a phantom figure, a winged divine tiger roared, and then the phantom disappeared in a flash; it was his martial spirit.

"What good luck! The martial arts essence of the top ten is strong enough, and I also ran into Di Shitian, who is just as cowardly as a mouse. Otherwise, if I had encountered Xiao Sanxiao in my first battle in the martial arts world, I would have been in big trouble."

With a flick of his sleeve, Su Yuchen silently brought the two Wu brothers to the doorway. The Qilin, who had been cultivating with its eyes closed, opened its eyes, glanced at them, and then ignored them.

………………

Looking at the quiet Heavenly Fate Blade and the Great Evil King, Su Yuchen flicked his sleeve, sweeping the two divine weapons into a corner, and looked at the Dragon Ball in front of him.

As it was continuously refined, the black and red evil aura on the surface of the Dragon Ball remained, but the inside underwent earth-shattering changes. As the original Yin-Yang Divine Light rotated, sharp winds carried soft cloud energy, which helped the Yin-Yang Divine Light to continuously wear down the evil aura, and enabled the Dragon Ball to return to its origin at a faster speed.

Within the Tai Chi diagram filling the attic, the coiled dragon opened its eyes, its gaze, now much more lively, glancing at Su Yuchen before closing them again.

Feeling the dragon's cooperation, everything was changing for the better. Su Yuchen smiled slightly and continued his cultivation.

………………

After an unknown amount of time, the Wu brothers woke up one after another. Wu Tianxia had mastered the Xuanwu True Skill, and his vision and knowledge were no longer limited by his weak body. He could tell at a glance that his younger brother was different from the past.

His once arrogant and disdainful gaze has become calm and clear, yet it contains a fierce fighting spirit, like a sword sheathed, waiting for the moment to be drawn and display its glorious light.

"Good, good, good! Congratulations to your second brother, you have made another step forward in martial arts and will finally achieve something." Wu Tianxia said sincerely.

Wu Wudi shook his head and said:

"There are always people better than you, and there is always a higher level to reach. I have always underestimated the heroes of the world, and instead became arrogant and conceited, which caused my martial arts to stagnate."

"Now that you have grasped the essence of your own sword, your martial arts are already catching up with mine; and with your comprehension and temperament, you will soon be able to catch up with me."

……

The Wu brothers were originally from the same school. The Wu family's accumulated knowledge over hundreds of years, including martial arts, esoteric arts, and even the Xuanwu True Skill, were all learned by the two brothers when they were young. It's just that Wu Tianxia was too weak to cultivate.

Now that the two brothers have achieved something, they exchange their insights, and with their enhanced comprehension, their understanding of martial arts is just as rapid as that of Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun.

Just as the Wu brothers were exchanging words and clashing, a voice descended from the sky:

“I helped you two break the curse and resolve your past grievances with the Qilin, but you need to do things for me.”

"Peerless City is poised to unify the entire land. You must hurry to Peerless City and join for thirty years to stabilize the foundation of the land."

"Furthermore, when you march north from Wushuang City and fight against the imperial court, if you can persuade Emperors Wuchang and Wenlong to surrender, I hope that you, Wu Wudi, can teach them the Xuanwu True Skill and the Ten Strong Martial Arts to help them improve their physical condition."

"Alas, what a pity. If those two hadn't been so weak and unable to bear the burden, they wouldn't have been suppressed by the aristocratic families in the imperial city, giving Wushuang City an opportunity."

“On behalf of Wushuang City, I promise that after the new dynasty rises to power, the royal family of the old dynasty will not be purged, and Wuchang and Wenlong can also be ennobled in the new dynasty.”

The words were filled with regret, but in the next instant, all emotion vanished, leaving only a cold and indifferent decision, as if ordained by fate; then, two streaks of light pierced through the mist and landed before the two, revealing two letters:

"One of the letters is for you to pass on to Dugu Ming. Everything I said today is in the letter. The other letter is for Wuchang and Wenlong. It is also a promise I made to them."

"You should set off as soon as possible!"

As the last sentence fell, the Wu brothers' vision blurred, and they were already outside the clouds and mist shrouding the Number One Pavilion Under Heaven.

The two brothers looked at each other in bewilderment, completely unaware of how they had been moved.

At this moment, two figures rapidly approached from afar. The two men, wielding swords and sabers, were filled with fighting spirit and were clearly not easy opponents.

"Oh, it's Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai. I didn't expect them to have joined this man's school! Their martial arts have improved quite a bit, a change that is incomparable to what it used to be." Wu Wudi knew who the newcomers were just by glancing at them.

Wu Tianxia nodded, avoiding contact with others. At this moment, he had just begun to comprehend the sword intent and could not yet fully control the 'Selfless Sword Intent' formed by the fusion of the Heavenly Fate Sword Intent and the Great Evil King Sword Intent. His figure flickered and disappeared.

Wu Wudi shook his head and smiled, then flew away like a wild goose in the vast sky.

When Nie Renwang and Duan Shuai arrived, they could only see two afterimages passing through the sea of ​​clouds over the Tianshan Mountains.

"Who are those two people? How could they possibly cross the endless snow-capped mountains to get here?"

"I don't know, that person's sword intent was so strong, so intense that even the Snow Drinking Blade couldn't help but tremble." Nie Renwang said, looking at the Snow Drinking Blade in its scabbard, which was trembling slightly and exuding a strong fighting spirit.

Duan Shuai glanced at the calm Tianxia Diyi Lou and said, "Not to mention Mr. Su, there are also Qilin guarding this place downstairs. Those two were not driven away by the Qilin, so they must be friends rather than enemies."

Nie Renwang nodded, then said regretfully:

"It's a pity I can't fight. Since I entered the Nascent Soul stage, I haven't encountered a sword master who can interest the Snow Drinking Blade."

"According to the records of the World Society, there are the First Evil Emperor, the Second Blade Emperor, and the Third Pig Emperor, all of whom are martial arts masters. Since staying here is useless, I have decided to go down the mountain to fight the Second Blade Emperor. If I can persuade them to join, the chances of counterattacking Japan in the future will be much greater."

"Alright." Duan Shuai nodded and said, "This place is mine. Brother Nie, you may go. The more experts we have, the better our chances of success will be."

Without further hesitation, Nie Renwang turned and descended Mount Tian to search for the whereabouts of the Second Sword Emperor based on the intelligence.

Chapter 585 The Second Soul

Time flows by, and life goes on leisurely.

A few days ago, Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun joined forces to storm Tianmen, killing several disciples of Emperor Shitian, including Binghuang, and slaughtering hundreds of Tianmen disciples who intended to cause trouble. They finally gathered together the Tianmen disciples and the martial arts masters trapped in Tianmen territory by Emperor Shitian.

Not long after returning to the World Society, news spread throughout the martial arts world that Nie Renwang, the Mad Saber of the North, and the Second Saber Emperor had both disappeared after their battle at Jueshen Ridge.

Afterwards, Nie Feng went alone to Jueshen Ridge to check the news.

Deep within the Jueshen Ridge, Nie Feng encountered the so-called "Divine General," who had fought Nie Renwang and the Second Blade Emperor to a standstill.

At that time, the God General was about to absorb the brain marrow of Nie Renwang and the Second Blade Emperor to heal his injuries when Nie Feng arrived and stopped him.

Despite the general's disdain, Nie Feng, now possessing multiple unique skills and hundreds of years of internal energy, was no less capable than the general in terms of martial arts and temperament.

After a fierce battle, the already severely injured general who had escaped from the Search God Palace was left on the verge of death by Nie Feng.

Because Nie Feng had to take care of his elderly father and the Second Blade Emperor, he was distracted and the Divine General found an opportunity to slip away.

After settling the two seriously injured people down, Nie Feng sent back a message through the Tianxia Society's branch altar. The three of them then went into seclusion while waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival to arrive, and then headed directly to Xuzhou to meet up.

………………

Before we knew it, August 15th had arrived.

[Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun, leading the disciples of Tianmen and Tianxiahui, joined forces with Wushuang City from the north and south, capturing Xuzhou in a single battle, while Wushuang City advanced into the north.]

At this time, Tianshan Mountain had become deserted. Apart from the necessary disciples and servants who stayed behind, Qin Shuang had also gone down the mountain and entered the pass to oversee the branch altars and logistics in various places.

Inside the No. 1 Pavilion under Heaven, the last trace of black and red malevolent energy on the dragon pearl in front of Su Yuchen was ultimately rootless water, and it completely dissipated under the cleansing of the Yin-Yang Divine Light.

As the last trace of malevolent energy dissipated, the surface of the Dragon Ball shone with a clear, water-like light, as blue as jade.

"Yan..."

With a resounding dragon roar echoing across the summit of Tianshan Mountain, a coiled dragon swam over and swallowed the dragon pearl.

The next second, endless wind and cloud power surged from the Dragon Ball into the dragon's body, causing wind and clouds to rise and fall on the dragon's body. Streams of energy swirled like vortexes, removing the last bit of evil energy from the dragon's body.

With a flash, the dragon's hundred-foot body shrank to a mere foot in an instant. It swam out of the window, reached the sea of ​​clouds, and then reappeared as a hundred-foot-long dragon, piercing through the clouds and exhaling mist. Its azure dragon body radiated boundless joy.

After a long while, a dragon shadow flashed, and the huge dragon body coiled in the clouds and came to the front of the Qilin.

The two beasts locked eyes, their gazes a mixture of nostalgia and disdain. They then let out a cold snort and turned their heads away.

The dragon opened its mouth, and a huge dragon pearl floated out. A hint of heartache flashed in the dragon's eyes. Then, the dragon pearl quietly split into two parts. One part, which was only one-seventh the size of the dragon pearl, floated from the window to Su Yuchen.

Immediately afterwards, the dragon swallowed the dragon pearl in one gulp, turned into a stream of light, and disappeared through the sea of ​​clouds.

………………

"Under the will of Heaven, where can you go?" Su Yuchen smiled, unconcerned.

Looking at the dragon ball in front of him, which was as big as an adult's palm and contained surging wind and cloud power, Su Yuchen couldn't help but feel satisfied.

He reached out and touched his brow. From the depths of his sea of ​​consciousness, a phantom figure flew out. It was another primordial spirit that he had kept hidden for a long time, and which only had the strength of a nascent Yin God.

With a flick of his finger, the second primordial spirit flew toward the Dragon Ball. As the Yin-Yang divine light swirled, the second primordial spirit transformed into a singularity, and the boundless power of wind and clouds within the Dragon Ball slowly rotated with the Tai Chi diagram.

With each rotation of the Tai Chi diagram formed by the innate Yin-Yang divine light, the primordial energy of heaven and earth gathered at the No. 1 Building under Heaven diminishes by one unit, and the Dragon Pearl becomes brighter by one unit.

As the Dragon Ball was released and released, the second primordial spirit underwent nine cycles of refinement in the Yin-Yang divine light, advancing one level with each cycle towards the perfection of the Yin spirit.

After the number nine times nine, the Dragon Ball quietly shattered, and a massive amount of wind and cloud power gathered and collapsed inward. A slightly illusory human figure stretched out his body, just like another Su Yuchen who looked exactly the same.

"It's not the right time yet," Su Yuchen said, shaking his head.

The second primordial spirit smiled slightly, looked around, and said, "Please help me, Your Majesty."

"Okay," Su Yuchen nodded.

The next moment, the pavilion was filled with five elements, and the enormous true essence transformed into the five elements of primordial energy. As Su Yuchen clenched his right hand, "Boom... Crack..." a loud explosion was heard, and five-colored lightning erupted in the void. The five-colored lightning bolts transformed into a large cauldron, enveloping the second primordial spirit and the Undying Phoenix Egg.

Under the five-colored lightning, the newly manifested second primordial spirit shattered instantly, and the crystal-clear fragments reassembled, transforming into a dragon pearl.

Inside the five-colored cauldron, lightning, like water, continuously washed over the dragon pearl and the immortal phoenix egg formed from the second primordial spirit.

The former's yin essence gradually faded as it was washed away by the lightning, and a pure yang essence quietly took shape; the latter, within the lightning, saw the innate five elements deep within its bloodline gradually revive, attracting the gathering of the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and then being refined by the five-colored lightning, leaving only the pure primordial energy of the five elements to replenish itself.

After an unknown amount of time, a five-colored hue quietly appeared on the ordinary-looking Undying Phoenix Egg. Su Yuchen opened his eyes, revealing a hint of joy. Then, more of his true essence transformed into the five elements of primordial energy, refining the egg.

As more and more of the primordial energy of heaven and earth was refined, it was absorbed by the Undying Phoenix Egg, and five-colored divine light quietly bloomed on the eggshell.

Su Yuchen's face lit up with joy. As the five-colored lightning swirled, a wisp of five-colored divine light was quietly taken away. Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the acquired five elements Dao seed shone with five-colored brilliance, merging with that wisp of innate five-colored divine light, thus unifying the acquired and acquired yin and yang five colors.

[You absorbed a wisp of innate Five Elements divine light, unifying your innate and acquired Five Elements, and enhancing your understanding of the Great Dao of the Five Elements.]

In the pavilion where thunder roared like water, five-colored lightning enveloped the three into a cocoon, beginning a slow metamorphosis.

………………

The war in China is raging. With the World Society as their guide, Wushuang City is virtually invincible. In every place they go, there are World Society branches acting as inside agents.

Originally intending to divide the land and seize territory for their own aristocratic families, they became divided and disunited when faced with the prospect of profit. By the time they made up their minds, large swathes of northern territory had already fallen into the hands of Wushuang City.

Faced with this situation, the powerful clans that had coerced the emperor into hiding within the imperial city still vainly hoped to negotiate peace with Dugu Ming.

Inside the central command tent outside the city, Dugu Ming sat alone on a high place, a golden longsword floating beside him, engulfing him in a golden light, with only a faint voice emanating from him:

"Hand over the cities they hold? I've already taken those places, so why should they return them? I'll take them myself. Besides, apart from the capital city right now, what right do they have to negotiate with me?"

"To persuade the powerful families to serve me? To acknowledge my legitimacy? How laughable! I took this empire myself; why should I need the acknowledgment of these cowardly flies?"

"As for writing books and biographies, singing praises, we have no need for them."

"Even now, you still can't see the big picture and dare to try to negotiate with me? You've really lost your mind."

"Pass on my order: three days from now, the army will attack the city. Apart from the royal family, all other clans that do not surrender will be executed."

Upon hearing this, the generals below all agreed, their voices tinged with delight. These clans had been entrenched for many years, reaping countless benefits; killing them would only enrich themselves.

Those clans that had already pledged allegiance or hedged their bets turned pale upon hearing this, and some immediately tried to step forward to stop them.

Dugu Ming saw all of this clearly from the head of the table. A hint of disdain and killing intent flashed through his mind. Before these people could speak, his sword flashed and he disappeared from the spot.

Chapter 586 Within the Imperial City

As Dugu Ming left, the tent gradually became noisy, and then the noise grew louder and louder.

Among them, a portion of the Wushuang City's direct descendants, as well as the Tianxia Society led by Bu Jingyun and Duan Lang, quietly withdrew.

Inside a large tent, the true heart of the army, the generals who control the army and intelligence, and the heads of spies all gather here.

When Shi Wuzun, Bu Jingyun, Nie Feng, Duan Lang and the others entered,

At this moment, there were dozens of martial arts masters gathered in the tent, including the Second Blade Emperor, Qin Shuang, Jian Chen, the Wu brothers, and others.

Dugu Ming then said:

"The Spring Breeze and Drizzle Pavilion will closely monitor the movements of the garrisons and powerful families in various locations."

"We will proceed according to the original plan. After the army has captured the city, I ask for your help to purge the rebellious families and the army, and to completely quell the war."

“Mr. Wu, Mr. Su’s promise still stands. I would like to ask you two to make a trip to the capital. If Emperors Wuchang and Wenlong are willing to abdicate, I will grant them the title of Marquis after the city falls. I will not make things difficult for them.”

"The unification of China and the counterattack against Japan are the top priorities. As for other matters, I am not a heartless and ruthless person."

As if to confirm what Dugu Ming had said, as soon as he finished speaking, the Xuanyuan Sword beside him rang out, and the awe-inspiring imperial power filled the tent.

With the Xuanyuan Sword, representing the great power of the human race, as its backing, none of the martial arts masters in the tent dared to disagree. This was the recognition of humanity and the blessing of the will of heaven and earth.
