That night, the Wu brothers silently bypassed the powerful clans who were hoping for a lucky break, and stormed into the capital city, where they found Wenlong and Wuchang, who were being held captive and used as bargaining chips.

Inside the palace, besides Wenlong and Wuchang, there were also Xiongwu, the Six Elders of Jian Ge, the God of Catching, the Commander of the Imperial Guard, and many other martial arts masters who were loyal to the royal family. These people were also the reason why the powerful families dared not push them too far.

“We brothers have always kept our identities well hidden, with only one of us appearing at a time. The world has never known that we are identical brothers and substitutes for each other. Why did these powerful families still find out?” one of them said.

This person was from Wuchang.

Upon hearing his younger brother's words, Wenlong paused in his pacing and sighed:

"Although only one of us has appeared, we are slightly different in personality and temperament. If someone is observant, they will naturally discover this over time."

"What do you think, Eunuch Chen?"

As soon as Emperor Wenlong finished speaking, everyone else looked thoughtfully at Eunuch Chen, who stood to the side as if he were invisible.

"This old servant does not understand Your Majesty's meaning?"

Despite being stared at by so many eyes, the old eunuch seemed oblivious and bowed deeply.

Wenlong didn't take it to heart and said, "You've always been by my side. If we're talking about understanding us, I'm afraid even the Empress doesn't know as much as you do. I really can't think of anyone else who could notice the difference between us."

Wu Chang's face darkened for a moment, then he sighed and said, "I really can't understand why you betrayed us, Eunuch Chen. Haven't you gotten enough?"

Eunuch Chen bowed respectfully, then raised his head and quietly said:

"Your Majesties have been very kind to this old servant, and I am deeply grateful."

"If anyone is to blame, it is the two emperors for their frail health and lack of offspring. Without offspring, the court is unstable, and so is the palace. Once the court is unstable, people's hearts are easily tempted to change."

"This old servant must always consider the future."

"Alas! Why don't Your Majesties pretend not to know?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Chen's figure flashed, as fast as a ghost. His right hand pointed at Wuchang with his whisk, while a glint of silver light from his left fingertip pierced towards Wenlong's neck.

"Be bold!"

"Dog slave!"

"How brave!"

Amidst the shouts, the six elders of Xiongwu, Bushen, and Jiange all made their moves, their immense and powerful true energy filling the hall.

"Heh, I've been cultivating in seclusion in the Forbidden Palace for many years. No one knows the martial arts manuals in the palace better than me. You bunch of good-for-nothings think you can stop me?" Eunuch Chen sneered, his hoarse voice no longer concealing its sarcasm.

The next second, his figure shifted, amidst a multitude of shadowy figures, his left fingertip flashing silver light, his movements both delicate and swift as lightning. Amidst a series of clanging sounds, the God of Catchers and the others let out muffled groans.

With a flash, Eunuch Chen appeared three zhang away from the group, completely unharmed; in contrast, Xiong Wu and the others were all injured.

Eunuch Chen smiled disdainfully, raised his left hand, and drops of blood fell from the tip of an ordinary embroidery needle.

"I must thank you all for answering my questions in the past, which allowed me to integrate your knowledge and master this martial arts skill."

"I have nothing to repay you with, so I will use my martial arts skills to send you off. On the road to the Yellow Springs, you will have companions and you will not be lonely."

With a charming smile and a cold laugh, Eunuch Chen appeared before Xiong Wu in a flash. The silver needle in her hand emitted sword energy, aiming straight for his head. At the same time, she flicked her right hand, which was as supple as a venomous snake, and gently pressed down on the 'Universe Ring' in the God of Catcher's hand.

With a 'bang', Eunuch Chen let out a delicate laugh and her figure flashed away. Behind her, Xiong Wu's hands trembled, a spot on his palm as red as blood, and the bone-penetrating sword energy impacted the meridians in his body.

On the 'Universe Ring' in the hands of the God of Catchers, a faint palm print is clearly visible.

At this moment, Eunuch Chen's ghostly figure flashed swiftly, his silver needles clanging and clattering as he thrust them, deflecting the Six Elders' sword formation, and he was already in front of Wenlong.

"Hahaha, I am actually more familiar with your martial arts than you are."

Just as he was feeling smug, his expression suddenly changed. He saw that a powerful and domineering figure had appeared in front of Wenlong, his calm eyes looking as if he were looking at a dead man.

Chen Gonggong glanced at Wu Chang and saw a slightly thin figure standing in front of him.

Before he could think any further, that powerful and domineering figure had already thrown a punch. The punch was so powerful that it was as if he could grasp mountains and seas. Chen Gonggong's ghostly figure seemed to have fallen into a quagmire.

The next second, that clean fist filled Eunuch Chen's eyes. With a 'bang', Eunuch Chen swept past the sword formation at an even faster speed and crashed into the pillar behind him.

"What...what kind of boxing style is this?"

"You don't deserve to know!"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Chen immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. The next instant, his body crackled like firecrackers, and he collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud.

Before Xiongwu and the others could react, it was already over.

"Are you from Wushuang City?" Wu Chang asked somberly from behind Wu Tianxia.

Ignoring the guarded crowd, Wu Wudi flicked his right hand, and a streak of light stopped in front of Wen Long. He said, "This is a letter from City Lord Dugu. Please take a look."

Wenlong reached out and took the letter, read it for a moment, and suddenly laughed, "It's good that it ended like this!"

After saying this, he handed the letter to Wu Chang, who was standing to the side.

After a moment, Emperor Wuchang smiled, as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders, and said, "As long as he can treat the people of the world well, that's good enough."

Wu Wudi calmly said, "Once the army breaches the imperial city, I will escort you and your families out of the city; I will impart all my knowledge to you, as a means to save your lives."

Before the two could refuse, Wu Wudi said, "This is something I promised someone else, so please don't decline."

Immediately afterwards, Wu Tianxia took out a brocade box from his pocket. Inside the box were two strange fruits that shimmered with red light, which were the Blood Bodhi.

"You two can rest assured. These are two Blood Bodhi seeds entrusted to me by City Lord Dugu. They can help you cleanse your marrow and transform your bodies."

"It also shows his sincerity."

Chapter 587 Five-Colored Divine Light, Heavenly Crying Scripture

In early October, the army of Wushuang City breached the imperial city.

The ten great families within the city, along with some military generals and collateral disciples who had joined Wushuang City, took advantage of the main army's attack on the city to besiege the central command tent.

On that day, golden sword energy filled the heavens and the earth, and the imperial might and power overwhelmed the world, with no one in the army daring to disobey. Moreover, the ruthless and heartless Sword Saint and the Sword Morning, filled with grief and filled with murderous intent, guarded the area. The rebellion was extinguished as soon as it began.

Therefore, on the day the city fell, Dugu Ming allowed his troops to carry out a bloody purge of the powerful clans, and all clans within six generations could be captured and killed.

The city's inhabitants, terrified by the shouts of battle, found that few people disturbed them. Little did they know: First, Dugu Ming had ordered that anyone who disturbed ordinary people would be executed without mercy; second, countless martial arts masters with the Nascent Soul stage were patrolling the city, and anyone who crossed the line was killed; third, the generals and soldiers in the army were not fools, and robbing a thousand ordinary people was not as profitable as robbing a gatekeeper from a powerful family.

Under such intense pressure, the soldiers, though driven mad by the fighting, still retained a sliver of reason.

After the powerful clans were purged, the elite army of Wushuang City entered the city to suppress them. Coupled with the fighting power of martial arts masters who could hold off thousands of soldiers, the bloodthirsty soldiers were quickly driven out of the city.

Amidst such bloodshed, the remaining aristocratic families who had other intentions quietly went into hiding, while the disciples of Shaolin and the five major sects, who had initially been observing the situation, all joined the army to serve.

At the end of the year, Dugu Ming, Wenlong, and Wuchang handed over the throne in the imperial city, and he officially ascended to the throne as the rightful supreme ruler of the world.

With the establishment of the new dynasty, Dugu Ming bestowed titles upon his officials, including the Duan family father and son, the two emperors of the old dynasty, and the Huo family, where Bu Jingyun once belonged.

Just as the world was unified, the last trace of rust on the Xuanyuan Sword faded away, and the golden sword energy, like a pillar supporting the sky, illuminated the land with its awe-inspiring sword intent, which was felt by all the martial artists in the world.

At this moment, the martial will completely merged into the human way, and the human way will occupied the destiny of this world.

At that very moment, within the Number One Pavilion Under Heaven, five-colored lightning suddenly shone brightly, accompanied by a series of crackling sounds, and a clear, melodious phoenix cry resounded across the summit of Tianshan Mountain.

With a flash of light, a cluster of multicolored radiance lingered around the summit of Tianshan Mountain, illuminating most of the sea of ​​clouds with dazzling brilliance, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

Amidst the phoenix's cry, the dragon pearl quietly shattered, transforming into a blue and white Taoist robe. Another Su Yuchen stood by the window, gazing at the distant sea of ​​clouds, his eyes full of smiles.

At this moment, upholding the will of humanity, the immortal phoenix was born, and its second primordial spirit stepped into the Yang God realm. From then on, it gathered and dispersed like the wind, roaming freely between heaven and earth.

Black and white divine light flowed in the eyes of the second primordial spirit, and the next moment it dispersed like the wind, disappearing into the sea of ​​consciousness and merging with Su Yuchen; a moment later, the second primordial spirit reassembled, transforming into a stream of light and heading towards the depths of Tianshan.

………………

"The ability to control size, summon wind and rain, and ride the clouds—the three great supernatural powers of the dragon race are all present?" Su Yuchen muttered to himself.

[With the unification of China, the will of humanity takes center stage in the world.]

You have gained the friendship of the Xuanyuan Sword, and you have gained humanitarian recognition.

[Your second primordial spirit has been baptized by the will of humanity and has obtained the inheritance of the dragon, one of the four spirits of this world]

The narrator prompted.

Su Yuchen smiled slightly, and with a turn of his gaze, he saw the eggshell fragments left behind by the Undying Phoenix after it hatched. Five colors flowed on them, and strands of the innate five elements flowed endlessly.

"nice one!"

Su Yuchen was overjoyed. With a swift movement of his Five Elements True Qi, which flowed like thunder and water, he shattered the eggshell and swept it away.

Before Su Yuchen could rejoice, a clear and melodious phoenix cry, filled with anger and anxiety, pierced the sky and transformed into a five-colored meteor, falling down before Su Yuchen could completely devour the five elements of the innate universe. The phoenix claws struck repeatedly, snatching away most of the powder from the eggshell.

Su Yuchen chuckled, and under the angry gaze of the Undying Phoenix, the Five Elements Divine Light of Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang behind him flowed and merged, transforming into the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light.

………………

"Serves you right, you scraggly chicken!"

A powerful and domineering divine thought resounded in the Undying Phoenix's sea of ​​consciousness.

The immortal phoenix was slightly taken aback, but then it reacted. With a flash of light, it flapped its wings and appeared at the downstairs door, tilting its head to look at the mocking Qilin.

The next moment, the immortal phoenix, only a foot long, flashed and pecked at the Qilin's forehead with its sharp beak; the Qilin snorted, and a bright yellow light shield enveloped him three zhang away, letting the immortal phoenix curse him, its face full of mockery.

The five-colored light, which was as fast as lightning, paused for a moment. The next second, the immortal phoenix was already hovering above the Qilin's head. It opened its mouth slightly and spat out a spark the size of a pea.

The flames grew larger with the wind, and by the time they reached the Qilin, they had transformed into a sea of ​​ice-blue fire. With a "crack," the bright yellow light shield, intertwined with ice and fire, shattered on the spot like a fragile piece of paper.

The Qilin lying on the ground was startled. It turned around and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the depths of the sea of ​​clouds. Behind it, the immortal phoenix let out a clear cry and quickly pounced on it, frolicking and playing together in the sea of ​​clouds.

………………

Not long after the two spirit beasts left, behind Su Yuchen, the Five Elements Divine Light flickered and flowed unpredictably. The Five Elements generated and restrained each other, then returned to the primordial chaos, and then the chaos transformed into Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements were re-enacted.

After a long time, the five elements of divine light behind Su Yuchen flowed in turn, transforming into a five-colored divine light. With a flash of light, the massive Number One Under Heaven building collapsed silently, leaving Su Yuchen sitting cross-legged in the void.

[You have integrated the innate and acquired Five Elements, you have mastered the Five-Colored Divine Light, you can wield the Five Elements, interact with the Five Elements through mutual generation and restraint, you can unleash the Five Elements Divine Thunder, and you can unleash the Great Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light]

With a thought, Su Yuchen withdrew the Five-Colored Divine Light. Ignoring the Qilin and the Undying Phoenix peeking out from the sea of ​​clouds, he looked down at the steps not far away. There, a hunched figure was looking in his direction; it was Mud Bodhisattva.

The clay bodhisattva suffers greatly from the Heavenly Crying Sutra. It is hoped that you have the ability to help him remove the sutra and return to being a mortal.

Su Yuchen landed on the ground, and a flash of five-colored divine light appeared beneath his feet. The Mud Bodhisattva in the distance had already arrived in front of him.

With a flash of divine light in his eyes, the illusion of the former No. 1 Building under Heaven rose from the ground, its five-colored divine light flowing. When Su Yuchen dispelled the illusion, the real No. 1 Building under Heaven stood tall once more.

A hint of amazement appeared in the Mud Bodhisattva's eyes, and his gaze toward Su Yuchen was filled with hope.

With a flick of his sleeve, under the five-colored divine light, the clay bodhisattva was moved into the building. Su Yuchen pointed to the futon on the ground and said, "Are you sure you don't want the Heavenly Cry Sutra?"

The clay bodhisattva's eyes revealed surprise. Without saying a word, he took out a blood-red book from the basket on his back and placed it on the ground. It was the original copy of the Heavenly Crying Scripture.

"it is good!"

Su Yuchen reached out and the blood-red book landed in his hand. The glass-like sword light in Su Yuchen's eyes illuminated the pavilion, and a blood-red thread bound the clay bodhisattva and the book together.

The next second, a flash of sword light, the cause and effect dissolved, and amidst a wailing sound, a phantom character floated from the eyes of the Mud Bodhisattva and fell into the Heavenly Cry Scripture;

Immediately afterwards, countless tiny characters, densely packed like a spider web, flowed out from the clay bodhisattva's body, running along the floor toward the Heavenly Crying Sutra.

At this moment, cause and effect have been eliminated, and one is naturally at peace.

You have obtained the Heavenly Crying Scripture.

In ancient times, when Cangjie created characters, Heaven and Earth refused to accept it, and he was punished with lightning. However, the character "因" (cause/cause) was projected into all realms, illuminating the heavens and preserving the merit of his creation.

This word reflects the existence of 'cause' in all the heavens and myriad realms, allowing us to glimpse past causes and consequences and reveal the secrets of the heavens; however, it is intolerable to heaven and earth and must bear the sins of heaven.

Chapter 588 Su Yuchen's Purpose

There was a ‘pop’ sound.

Following the system's prompt, Su Yuchen closed the restless Heavenly Cry Scripture, and the various illusions of ghostly wails and howls vanished.

"My second primordial spirit has sensed the location of the Sword Sect. I wonder if I can find the Thousand Autumn Sword, which is the sword that the Sword Realm relies on."

After thinking it over, Su Yuchen stopped worrying. With his second primordial spirit having entered the Yang God realm and possessing supernatural powers, he was already considered an invincible being in this world, so there was no need to worry.

"Xiao Sanxiao's Xuan Turtle Yang Essence is not complete. The most important thing now is to find the place where the ancient Loulan Kingdom imprisoned the Xuan Turtle and retrieve its physical body."

"Moreover, I should go and take a look at the Nine Realms first."

Thinking of this, Su Yuchen reached out and summoned the Heavenly Fate Blade and the Great Evil King, which had been gathering dust in the corner, to his left and right respectively. As Su Yuchen activated his true energy, with a 'boom,' everything seemed to freeze for a moment.

The next second, in the No. 1 Pavilion under Heaven, the void where Su Yuchen sat shattered like a reflection in a mirror or the moon in the water. Under the watchful eyes of the Qilin and the Undying Phoenix who rushed over, Su Yuchen's figure was swallowed up by the void like ripples on water.

Su Yuchen's figure, sitting upright in the void, suddenly sank, as if passing through layers of space and arriving at a vague, boundless, and inexplicable place where nothing seemed to exist.

Nothing exists here, not even the physical body should exist; only endless gray-white mist fills every inch of the place.
