Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

"Alright, stop arguing, time's up!" someone said.

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone looked at the golden chair on the nine-tiered steps. Behind the illusory figure, the Tai Chi diagram flashed with light, revealing two uniquely shaped longswords on the Yin and Yang poles.

Wow, a peerless divine weapon!

"I heard that the Human Emperor once said that these two divine weapons, after being refined by the God of War, were already extraordinary!"

"I've heard that besides the Emperor Xuanyuan Sword, obtaining either of these two divine weapons allows one to freely enter the Divine Court."

"Dream on, who can take them away from the God of War?"

As they spoke, everyone's spirits were swept away by the stream of light and returned to the real world; the divine court once again returned to its usual tranquility.

………………

Until this day, inside the palace, the towering Five-Colored Divine Cauldron shone with five-colored light. The spacetime lightning within the cauldron, which was like water, was completely absorbed by the giant cocoon. With a series of cracking sounds, the giant cocoon began to crack open.

When the seven-colored halo disappeared, Su Yuchen was already standing in the same spot, his figure like a dream, neither real nor unreal.

[You have undergone the refinement of the power of time and space, your indestructible body has advanced, and you have gained the power of time and space.]

[Your profound skill has undergone nine transformations, and the power of time and space has not been extinguished. You have gained a trace of the golden element, and your primordial spirit and physical body have become one, with no distinction between them anymore.]

You have gained a trace of the Great Luo attribute.

You have obtained the title of Dao Lord.

You have taken the initiative on the path to becoming one with the divine; your path is stable and cannot be altered.

You can refine the River of Time in this world using the Heavenly Cry Scripture, gaining the initial power to control the past and future.

The past origins of this world are already determined, and its future is also predetermined (yes/no), the choice is yours.

As the narration began, Su Yuchen's figure vanished. Outside the palace, above the massive palace complex, a sword light, rising from nowhere and landing in an unknown location, illuminated the Nine Realms like the sun.

The Heavenly Crying Sutra in his hand shattered in response to the light. The originally gray and constantly eroding spacetime mist paused, then was gathered under the sword light, transforming into a long river of mist whose origin and destination were unknown.

The long river, like a phantom, passes through every corner of the Divine Court, yet it also seems to stand alone, enveloping the Divine Court and allowing it to expand at an accelerated pace.

Amidst the illusory sound of flowing water, the figure on the golden chair within the palace gradually sank into the river of time and space, transforming into an innate deity under the refinement of the innate Yin-Yang divine light and the power of time and space.

Su Yuchen shifted his gaze, and with the Dao Heart Bright Sword in his hand, he drew upon cause and effect, tracing back to his past when he came to this world, heading upstream in the river of time and space, trying to occupy the past.

Chapter 596 Retracing the Past of the Sword of One Realm

At the Tianshan No. 1 Tower, Su Yuchen, who was sitting cross-legged and working hard to restore the divine dragon, opened his eyes. A cold and indifferent look flashed in his eyes. Then he smiled slightly and closed his eyes, as if everything just now was an illusion.

Outside Wushuang City...

When I first met Wuming...

Inside Lingyun Cave...

At every point in time in which Su Yuchen existed in this world, after a trace of confusion flashed in the eyes of the past Su Yuchen, his aura gradually became more harmonious, moving closer to his future self who had achieved the metal element.

It wasn't until he returned to the outskirts of Wushuang City and saw the dashing young Dugu Ming riding a spirited horse that Su Yuchen recalled his past self in this world.

"I am Dugu Ming from Wushuang City. I have met you, Daoist Master. May I ask who you are and why you assaulted my Wushuang City patrol team?" the young man on horseback asked.

Su Yuchen did not answer. With a flick of his wrist, the Dao Heart Bright Sword was already in his hand. Ignoring the panic of the young man and his subordinates, the Dao Heart Bright Sword flashed and activated the newly opened sword realm. Every figure practicing swordsmanship was 'Su Yuchen'.

The next second, Su Yuchen continued to move forward, relying on countless 'Daoist salvation' beings. Su Yuchen, who was still in place, was slightly stunned, and then said calmly, "The road is uneven, I want to step on it."

……

In the former Sword Sect grounds, Wuming was sparring with Pojun. In a daze, he seemed to sense that his master Jian Hui, who was above him, seemed to have changed, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.

In the nameless town of Wuming, in the Zhonghua Pavilion, Wuming inexplicably awoke from his seclusion: "That Mr. Su does bear a striking resemblance to my master."

……

In the wilderness, the increasingly weakened First Sword Saint looked at the Japanese Sword Saint who was dressed in Japanese samurai attire.

"Sir, I challenge you! Please let me see your swordsmanship!"

Looking into the fiercely murderous eyes of Miyamoto Musashi, the vigorous and middle-aged swordsman of Japan, the first swordsman nodded and said, "Good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his blood and energy began to recover like a dragon. With the rumbling flow of blood and energy, his withered white hair began to turn black, his wrinkled skin became smooth, and his cloudy eyes became bright and clear again. His lost youth returned to him.

Before Miyamoto Musashi could speak, the first sword saint, Huangfu Jian-Su Yuchen, had already raised his right hand and unleashed the "Six Annihilation Selfless Sword Twenty-Three," a sword light as fast as lightning, transcending thought and turning the surrounding dozens of miles into a sword domain cage.

With a whoosh, the sword light flashed past, and 'Huangfu Sword - Su Yuchen' walked away into the distance.

"What kind of martial art is this? You're not human! This is demonic swordsmanship!"

"Six Annihilation Swords of Selflessness, Twenty-Three!" Huangfu Sword - Su Yuchen paused, then said.

"Excellent swordsmanship!" exclaimed Miyamoto Musashi, the Japanese swordsman.

As soon as he finished speaking, countless drops of blood sizzled out from the spot, and a moment later, only a tattered samurai outfit remained lying in the bloodstains.

……

During the reign of Qin Er Shi, Su Yuchen, the sect leader of Wuji Sword Sect, had just opened his eyes when he heard his junior brother's footsteps. Before the man arrived, his rough and bold voice rang out: "Senior brother, I have discovered a sword genius whose talent surpasses even ours."

"Oh? I don't know his name?" Su Yuchen asked with a smile.

A hint of confusion flashed in the junior brother's eyes. He shook his head, looked at his senior brother, and then gave up any further thoughts. He wondered if he was still a little sleepy. He said, "That person is called Di Shitian. He is currently outside the gate. Would you like to see him, senior brother?"

“Di Shitian! What a good name, call him in!” Su Yuchen said.

Soon, a mature-looking man walked in. As soon as he entered, he knelt down and addressed Su Yuchen as "Sect Leader".

"You are Indra? You look quite old." Su Yuchen asked, looking at Indra of this era.

"Reporting to the Sect Leader, I am just older than I am, though I am only in my early twenties," Di Shitian said, bowing his head.

"Yes, senior brother, I just examined his bones. His blood and energy are abundant, and his bones are strong, even stronger than mine!"

Su Yuchen said calmly, "Since you are interested, junior brother, he will be your disciple from now on. You must teach him well."

"Huh? Senior brother, you're not going to take Di Shitian as your disciple?" the man asked in surprise.

Su Yuchen smiled and said, "I have no master-disciple relationship with him."

As he spoke, Su Yuchen looked at Di Shitian kneeling on the ground and transmitted his voice through his soul: "Don't harbor any evil intentions, or you will surely die by my hand two thousand years from now."

……

In the early Xia Dynasty, Yu the Great succeeded his father in controlling the floods, gained the support of the leaders of various Xia tribes, became the supreme leader of the Xia people, and established a regime.

Beside the Yi River, which Yu the Great had just tamed, a little boy sat by the river, repeatedly striking the weeds with a wooden stick.

"Si Jian, what are you doing here all by yourself? Everyone is celebrating Yu becoming our leader!" A little girl ran over from afar, handed over a bunch of wild fruits, and asked curiously.

"This era has only swords, but no principles. I will create the first complete sword technique, and from then on, there will be a path to follow in learning the sword. I will be the Great Swordsman," the boy said.

Under the little girl's adoring gaze, the boy leaped into the air, and the world's first sword technique began. From then on, the sword, beyond mere random slashing, acquired the Way of the Sword.

"It's called the Mysterious Swordsmanship!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the nascent martial will radiated joy, and a seven-colored rainbow appeared between heaven and earth.

"Look, heaven and earth are celebrating for Yu!" someone in the tribe shouted.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, the boy smiled with joy, but only the little girl knew for whom the rainbow had appeared.

……

As the little girl looked on in surprise, the boy carved a sword from wood and thrust it out. The sword light was as bright as the sun in broad daylight, dazzling but not blinding, gentle yet carrying the will to destroy all laws.

Amidst the endless turbulent flow of time and space, Su Yuchen opened his eyes and saw a sword light descending from the sky:

The sword has a golden blade, with the sun, moon, and stars engraved on one side and mountains, rivers, and plants on the other. One side of the hilt is inscribed with the art of farming and animal husbandry, while the other side is inscribed with strategies for unifying the world.

The swordsman was nowhere to be seen; only a sword light spread out. With a 'boom,' as the sword light fell, a world opened up before Su Yuchen's eyes.

"With this sword, I seek a great path for all living beings of the human race."

The alarming sound echoed throughout the newly formed universe and also traveled into the depths of time and space.

With the sound, Su Yuchen was propelled by the sword light towards the present.

As he flew backward, Su Yuchen saw a large, illusory Buddha figure following behind the sword hilt, blocking the future of this world.

………………

"The Great Sun Tathagata, huh? The Buddhist sect is truly cunning."

Above the Nine Realms, Su Yuchen opened his eyes as a sword light flashed behind him, severing the cause and effect, so that he would not be detected by the future Buddha's illusory figure.

"Huh? Who is it?"

Just as Su Yuchen was about to turn around, he looked at the leisurely ripples of spacetime in front of him, and his gaze fell on the figure in the spacetime vortex whose eyes were filled with only rationality and devoid of humanity.

"Who are you? The divine court of this era should have no master?" the rational figure asked.

You encountered a demigod who had entered through a spacetime vortex.

Chapter 597 Setting Sail and Covering the Sky

"They really are a handful."

Su Yuchen shook his head, casually grabbed the Dao Heart Bright Sword, thrust it out, and followed the sword, disappearing into the spacetime vortex.

"Transcending time and space! How is that possible? How could someone like you have existed in the past? Why is there no record of you?"

At a certain moment, amidst the horrified gaze of the half-god, Su Yuchen seemed to undergo some strange change, as if he had become more harmonious, merging with the entire space-time. With a wave of his longsword, a sword light, like the will of heaven, was etched onto the rules of heaven and earth.

As the sword light fell, the divine tower constructed of life metal beside half of the god's body silently blocked the transmission, rendering it incapable of passing through.

"The future of this world does not need a self-proclaimed god like you. The red flag should guide the will of humanity. I wish that in the future, everyone in this world will be like a dragon or a god."

With a flash of sword light, the river of time and space in this world erupted. The future belonging to the half-gods gradually dried up, and the mist of time and space shifted towards a future ruled by Bai Suzhen. The red flags of democracy and republicanism fluttered, and the will of humanity transformed into a giant axe that opened up the world anew.

[Your future self created the fourth sword, Dao Ke Time and Space]

【The Dao of Time and Space: You can leave your sword light in time and space forever, making it one of the essential rules of a certain realm】

With a "whoosh," just as the giant axe, as red as a banner, continued to carve out the future and seize all future changes, on a certain section of a river in the future, a golden, glazed Buddha figure sat cross-legged, intending to change the course of the river.

"Mahavairocana! Is He waiting for me to make a move? Now that there is cause and effect, He has a reason to attack me?"

Su Yuchen's gaze darkened, his Dao heart devoid of sorrow or joy. The Dao Heart Bright Sword in his hand stirred the will of humanity, staining the Dao Heart Bright Sword a blood red. Just as he was about to make his move, an inexplicable gaze descended from the infinite heights.

[Your future self has reached an agreement with the Supreme Taoist Ancestor; you will travel through time. Please prepare yourself.]

As Su Yuchen was comprehending the fusion of the four swords and unleashing his strongest attack, his body suddenly felt light. He felt as if he had been gently pushed by a jade-like hand, breaking through this realm and heading towards the depths of space-time.

………………

"I……"

Inside the time-space tunnel, watching the rapidly receding phantom, Su Yuchen was speechless.

In a flash, Su Yuchen passed through the thick spacetime barrier, like a meteor being ignited, streaking across a dark and deep universe, and falling towards a huge, vibrant purple planet.

Looking from the void, the earth is vast and boundless. With the power of the Dharma Eye, there are sacred mountains and immortal lands everywhere. The primordial energy soars to the sky. On the magnificent earth, ancient and unseen creatures roar to the heavens.

"Huh? There's another native here. A cauldron forged from the energy of the earth's dragon veins? This thing is unique to the earth element; it's not good for alchemy, but its defense is unparalleled."

Just as Su Yuchen was rapidly falling into the atmosphere, a fireball burning with flames streaked past him like a meteor, heading towards a place concealed by an array. With a quick glance, Su Yuchen could already see that the falling fireball contained a massive, heavy cauldron with a dark yellow hue.

You have been transported to the world of "Covering the Sky".

You've met your destined protagonist - Ye Fan.

Please travel to the Taiqing Sacred Realm of the Eight Views Palace to obtain the inheritance 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones'.

"The legacy of the Supreme Dao Ancestor! How can I, in the future, connect with the Supreme Dao Ancestor? Will I be able to get good food from him?"

Su Yuchen, who was falling rapidly, paused for a moment in the void, then took a step and followed the corner of the great formation that Ye Fan had broken open, arriving at the outer edge of the Taiqing Sacred Realm.

"Fine! I don't know what price my future self will sell my present self for, but what's mine is mine, so I might as well take it. I can't let myself suffer a loss."

Just as Su Yuchen stepped into the Taiqing Sacred Realm, Ye Fan, riding the 'Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron' space shuttle, crashed straight into a cliff in the Immortal Land.

With a loud thud, the massive cauldron crashed into the mountainside, sending dust and debris flying everywhere, and huge boulders teetering on the brink of collapse.

Ultimately, the mountain could not withstand the impact of the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron. Under Su Yuchen's watchful gaze, the mountain broke in half and crashed downwards. In an instant, spiritual trees snapped, spiritual herbs turned to dust, immortal birds cried out in alarm, and wild beasts scattered in all directions.

Amidst the chaos and commotion, the Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron rolled twice and tumbled down the cliff face onto the grass.

"Who dares to trespass into my Eight Trigrams Palace's Taiqing Sacred Realm?"
