Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

"I'm rich! I'm rich! I never thought that killing a few people casually would lead to such a wonderful encounter. The Tathagata Palm must be on him. Maybe he is the secret protector of Buddhism. It's my destiny to make a fortune."

His expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, "I am a cultivator, and the way of the sword emphasizes courage and decisiveness in order to make continuous progress. I am willing to use effective methods to protect the Buddha's path, and I ask that you grant my request, senior."

After speaking, Xuanzhu lowered his head and chanted scriptures softly, thinking to himself: Send me a mission, I must send you a mission! You are my extraordinary encounter!

With Su Yuchen's Yuanxin Seal constantly operating, how could he not know what this calamity was thinking? Fortunately, after acting with him for so long, it could finally come to a temporary end.

"It wasn't for nothing that I've been acting for so long. I'll use you as a practice subject to test the state of the Dao Ancestor's 'other self'," Su Yuchen thought to himself.

He then looked troubled and said:

"In the past, I had the good fortune to obtain the true teachings of Buddhism, but they are not compatible with my own path. It is not unreasonable for me to pass them on to Buddhism."

“But those who cultivate themselves value cause and effect the most. If I were to impart a great Dharma to you without cause, I fear you might not be able to bear the consequences, and it would only harm you!”

"But in the end, we were destined to be together."

"Enough! Enough! If you can do a great good deed and gain my approval, then come back to me. At that time, I will enlighten you."

As he spoke, Su Yuchen didn't give the little monk a chance to play tricks. With a flick of his sleeve, he teleported him 50,000 miles away.

………………

Thousands of miles away.

Xuan Zhu's vision blurred, and when he looked again, he was clearly in the inland Divine Continent. Every now and then, a sword light would fly past in the surrounding layer of gale.

Xuanzhu dared not be negligent, fearing that any sword light might be a demonic cultivator passing by. He immediately unleashed his sword light and landed on a deserted hilltop. Then, he angrily pointed to the sky and cursed, "Damn it! You didn't even explain clearly what constitutes a great act of kindness? You didn't even leave a standard for judgment. How am I supposed to explain this to you?"

"Crack... Rumble..."

As Xuanzhu stared in disbelief, a thunderclap rang out in the clear sky, and a bolt of lightning as thick as a water vat struck not far from him, shearing off more than thirty feet of another mountain peak.

"No...no way! He could hear it from 50,000 miles away? Or is it some kind of supernatural ability like clairvoyance? It's a coincidence, it must be a coincidence."

Xuanzhu's hand, which was pointing to the sky and drawing lines on the ground, trembled. He swallowed hard and immediately dared not linger. He then unleashed his sword light and headed towards Shaolin.

………………

Looking at the cursing little monk, Su Yuchen shook his head and smiled. If he weren't still somewhat useful, he would have just struck him dead with a bolt of lightning.

However, since this little monk dared to insult him and create karma, he wouldn't be done until he died a heartbreaking death. Fortunately, there is a Reincarnation Pool in this world, otherwise, if he had created karma with a Great Luo Immortal, he would have died and been reborn countless times.

With a flick of his primordial spirit, he casually pointed, and a beam of azure-colored sword light flashed silently, disappearing into the reef beneath his feet. Without a sound, it carved out a huge space inside the reef.

The next second, Su Yuchen had already vanished into the space he had created.

Chapter 617 Opening up a cave

Su Yuchen disappeared into the interior of the reef, which he had transformed into a huge mansion using the technique of containing Sumeru within a mustard seed. It was fully equipped with alchemy rooms, animal gardens, weapon-refining rooms, meditation rooms, and more.

"It's still too simple. Although cultivators don't care about luxury, these natural disasters inevitably make them underestimate me."

Once Su Yuchen made up his mind, he immediately disappeared into the seawater beneath the reef. The Five Elements Divine Light flowed around him, as if he himself were part of the seawater, and he instantly submerged into the depths of the sea.

Looking at the groups of strange fish, huge sea turtles, and sea monsters swimming not far away, Su Yuchen nodded. With a flash of azure sword light, he had already cut a sea turtle the size of half a football field in two. With a sweep of the sword light, he had already collected the turtle's shell, fascia, skeleton, and a total of thirteen Yuan Dan, one large and twelve small.

After carefully examining it for a moment and confirming that it was a good thing for even those in the Yuan Dan or Nascent Soul stages, Su Yuchen released his sword light, which instantly split into tens of thousands of sword energies, which combined to form an array that covered an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles.

Tens of thousands of feet deep in the ocean, sword energy crisscrossed and swept across the land. The shimmering, azure sword light flashed as it sped past, sending countless pieces of flesh flying. Under Su Yuchen's control, the sea creatures had no power to resist and were instantly reduced to a pool of blood.

A sword aura stretched for over a hundred feet. With a slight ripple, corpses littered the ground. In just a few seconds, the deep sea turned blood red, and the stench of blood wafted far and wide, attracting even more sea creatures to rush towards this place.

Su Yuchen's primordial spirit swept across everything, and as the sword light danced, all the usable raw materials were swept up by the sword light and then put into his sleeve.

"Huh? Finally, someone decent has arrived!"

Just as Su Yuchen was wondering why there wasn't a single decent 'monster' in this sea area, a dark figure, over a hundred feet long, silently lurked beneath Su Yuchen's feet in the deeper part of the sea—it was a deep-sea dragon.

Its jet-black scales reflected no light, and a single, enormous horn stood atop its ferocious and terrifying head. Its dark eyes were like two huge, emerald-green pearls, and when it opened its mouth, a mouthful of sharp teeth dripped out large drops of venom—it was a venomous dragon.

The venomous dragon, which had been lying in ambush, looked up and saw Su Yuchen's ambiguous smile. It immediately opened its mouth and spat out a dark green water bullet, which shot towards Su Yuchen like a missile, accompanied by a raging storm.

With a thought, Su Yuchen immediately split into three sword energies. The sword energies flashed and silently swept through the space. One sword energy instantly destroyed the poison water bullet. The remaining two sword energies, in the bewildered eyes of the poisonous dragon, disintegrated its muscles, bones, skin, horn, scales, poison dragon pills, and dragon claws on the spot, turning them into a pile of raw materials.

With this sword strike, countless sword energies immediately rushed downwards. Deeper into the sea, large, eerie green eyes opened, revealing the venomous dragons that had accompanied the Poisonous Dragon King. Apart from lacking dragon horns, they were much weaker.

Each sword aura, over a hundred feet long, circled the venomous dragon's neck, then contracted, transforming into a series of azure-colored collars that tightened around them, making them like domesticated pets.

A flash of light appeared on his wrist, and the Vajra Bracelet instantly absorbed the poisonous dragons.

Su Yuchen turned his gaze and disappeared silently from this sea area. When he reappeared, he had arrived at a deeper part of the seabed, where a huge underwater volcano was radiating heat outwards.

Deep within the volcanic magma, a four-clawed fire dragon, resembling a real dragon with a head and horns, its whiskers swaying with each breath, and its entire body glowing red, is fast asleep.

Deep in the ocean, this dragon-like creature not only lacked any ferocity, but also possessed the merit of heaven and earth from suppressing the underwater volcano, exuding a crystal-clear beauty.

"His aura is pure and he is evolving into a true dragon. He must have inherited the legacy of some great being or he is a natural spiritual seed. He is good enough to be a mount."

Looking at the many spiritual herbs and fruits growing in the crater, Su Yuchen was even more satisfied.

"Well, we can't waste this volcano either. With so much fire elemental power, we can refine a fire elemental elixir."

"Thank you, Dao Ancestor, for teaching me the Dao of Alchemy. Otherwise, it would have been quite a challenge to subdue this dragon seed."

With a wave of his hand, Su Yuchen automatically removed the Vajra Bracelet from his right wrist, and with a flash of silver-white light, it was already wrapped around the neck of the fire dragon.

"Yan!"

Suddenly attacked, the fire dragon opened its eyes and was about to rush out of the volcano, but unexpectedly, the Vajra Bracelet around its neck flashed with spiritual light and tightened instantly, containing Mount Sumeru in a mustard seed. The fire dragon seemed to shrink its size, and after a moment, it was only the size of a palm.

To the bewildered look of the fire dragon, the Vajra Bracelet forcibly brought it to Su Yuchen. With a wave of Su Yuchen's hand, the dragon's body automatically coiled and transformed into a fiery red bracelet with its mouth holding its tail and its four claws tightly clasped together.

With another wave of his hand, Su Yuchen sent countless strands of true essence into threads, cutting the ice and fire attribute spiritual herbs. As the threads wove together, they quickly transformed into a water and fire futon.

Then, with a surge of true essence, he swept away the spiritual fruit, the fruit tree, and the surrounding soil, which stretched for hundreds of feet.

Without the suppression of the fire dragon, the underwater volcanic magma erupted instantly, and countless toxic fumes rolled along with the magma, rushing towards the seabed, leaving everything in its wake desolate.

Su Yuchen pressed down with his right hand, and the entire seabed trembled slightly. An enormous true essence hand enveloped the crater, suppressing the earth's pulse. Then, the Five Elements Divine Light flashed, and boundless suction was generated, forcibly drawing away streams of fire elemental energy.

As the Five Elements Divine Light circulated, the drawn fire elemental energy was continuously refined and compressed in the palm, transforming from gas into spiritual liquid, and then from spiritual liquid into a fiery red gemstone.

………………

When Su Yuchen picked up a fiery red pill, the massive volcano had already extinguished, and the dried-up lava had completely solidified. With the influx of seawater, it had become a breeding ground for life.

After doing all this, Su Yuchen vanished into the depths of the sea in a flash, and when he reappeared, he had arrived in the space inside the reef.

With a casual wave of his hand, streams of raw materials flew out, and the Five Elements Divine Light transformed into a large cauldron that floated in mid-air. As the raw materials were added, they turned into pools of colorful liquid.

Su Yuchen's primordial spirit stirred, and his true essence transformed into threads, enveloping the spiritual liquid in the cauldron. These threads intertwined and wove in the void, and with a flash of light, they transformed into a large array that covered the entire mansion.

As the great formation landed, the surrounding sea area of ​​tens of thousands of miles trembled, and streams of water-based spiritual energy were forcibly drawn by the formation and converged towards the cave.

With a thought, the great formation opened a portal before him, and with a slight tremor of the Vajra Bracelet, hundreds of venomous dragons flew out, transforming into guardian spirit beasts.

The four-clawed fire dragon landed in front of Su Yuchen, completely bewildered.

"Would you be willing to be the guardian spirit beast of this cave and lead that group of poisonous dragons? Of course, you'll also have to be my mount when needed."

As Su Yuchen asked the question, a hint of shame and anger flashed in the fire dragon's eyes. It couldn't help but reach out and touch its neck with its claws, then reluctantly nodded.

Su Yuchen waved his hand, sending it to the spirit beast garden, and didn't bother with it anymore.

He then went to his meditation room to cultivate. As for whether the young monk Xuanzhu could seize the opportunity, Su Yuchen wasn't in a hurry; he could just wait and see, since he had plenty of time.

Chapter 618 Three Forces Gather

While Su Yuchen was cultivating, the fire dragon was probably extremely ashamed and angry. Every day, it led a group of poisonous dragons to ravage the surrounding seas and hunt down some sea monsters.

As its actions grew larger, it subdued more and more sea monsters, and countless ferocious beasts ravaged the four seas.

However, if a passing natural disaster were to happen upon it, they would immediately call upon their friends and acquaintances. For them, although a fire dragon posed a great threat, it seemed to be less of a concern compared to the potential benefits.

Moreover, besides the fire dragon, there are other ferocious ocean beasts to hunt. If you're lucky, the various materials that drop can be used to craft high-level flying swords, armor, pills, and so on.

As more and more natural disasters converged, the two sides quickly became locked in fierce combat.

That fire dragon was already almost completely transformed into a true dragon. Even if its cultivation level was not as high as that of the three patriarchs of Buddhism, Taoism, and Demonism, it was not much different. In addition, its scales and thick skin made its defense level almost maxed out.

Moreover, as dragons, they naturally have a command over marine life. Both sides were calling on their friends and summoning their subordinates, and for a time the firepower in the vicinity was extremely intense.

In just over half a month, the area has accumulated a total of three to four hundred thousand people suffering from natural disasters.

These people include the righteous forces led by the Emei Sect, which encompass both Buddhist and Taoist forces; the demonic forces led by the Five Demonic Sects; and the anti-Chinese alliance formed by unorthodox cultivators from both China and overseas.

Inside the mansion inside the reef, Su Yuchen sat on a water and fire futon, with a round mirror in front of him, filled with water-elemental spiritual light, clearly displaying everything outside.

Seeing the scene of countless natural disasters converging, Su Yuchen was shocked and speechless by the ruthlessness of the powerful beings of the heavens. Just how many Earthlings did they drag into this obstruction?

………………

At this moment, a tripartite balance is formed above the sea. In the southeast direction, two purple-blue sword lights, each a hundred feet long, stand in the void. As the sword lights ripple, they occasionally emit bursts of thunder and lightning.

The vast expanse of purple-blue sword light illuminated half the sky, revealing the Purple Lightning Sword wielded by Qu Hanjiang, the representative figure of the Emei Sect of Mount Shu and the true disciple who led the righteous path, and the Azure Nether Sword wielded by Ming Zhonghe, the Earth Emperor.

At this moment, the two were positioned in the center of the formation, and around them, more than 100,000 righteous calamities were under the central command of the Emei Sect, their sword lights forming a Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams formation.

Not only can it enhance its own attack and defense capabilities through the formation, but it can also absorb spiritual energy faster and interfere with the judgment of the ferocious beasts below.

At this moment, Qu Hanjiang, the 'Heavenly Lord', looked down at the ferocious beasts that were surrounded. Occasionally, a flash of dark light would appear, and a huge water bullet would be launched into the air. Under the sword energy, it would explode into streams of poisonous water, stirring up protective spiritual light.

After a long while, Qu Hanjiang's gaze sharpened, and he said to Ming Zhonghe beside him, "Second brother, have you noticed that the collar around the neck of that poisonous dragon seems to be formed from a sword aura? These poisonous dragons and that fire dragon are probably spirit beasts kept by someone."

Ming Zhonghe nodded and transmitted his voice:

"By now, I'm afraid anyone with discerning eyes has already seen it. However, the owner of this fire dragon has not yet appeared. Either he is in seclusion and has no time to attend to it, or something has happened to him and he is too busy to take care of himself, or he is no longer here and the fire dragon has taken over the cave."

"The best course of action now is either to defeat the fire dragon and see if the cave master will appear, or to find the cave and use these cannon fodder as a test to see what the situation is."

"There are countless magical treasures, pills, divine weapons, and rare materials in that cave. If the other side gets them, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. Now none of us dare to retreat."

Heavenly Lord Qu Hanjiang sighed and said:

"This fire dragon is already infinitely close to the realm of Master Miaoyi Qi Shuming. If it weren't for its insatiable beastly nature, which prevents it from transforming into human form and cultivating human techniques, we would have died countless times by now."

"Even so, we're only holding on thanks to that old hag's Blood Sea Red Lotus Sword Formation and our Four Symbols Returning to Origin Formation!"

"If the master of that fire dragon is still alive, he is definitely a top figure no less than Long Eyebrow. By then, it will be too late to run away."

Ming Zhonghe smiled and said nonchalantly:

"So we didn't send our third brother. Instead, he stayed in Emei to coordinate things. As long as he doesn't have any accidents, even if we die, we can be directly pulled back to the Emei Secret Realm to be reborn without suffering too much loss."

"As for these rogue cultivators and outer disciples, they are nothing but cannon fodder. We'll give them some compensation later."

His words were ruthless and decisive, showing no mercy to these 'fellow countrymen' who might come from different Earths, treating them as cannon fodder on the battlefield.

Tianjun Qu Hanjiang nodded without saying much. They had been in this world for decades and had long since hardened their hearts with iron through countless deaths and reincarnations. Kindness and human rights were nonexistent to them.

In the cultivation world, the law of the jungle prevails, and strength is everything.

………………

In the northeast direction, a figure was enveloped in blood-red flames, as if the person was the flame itself, giving people the illusion that the flames were flickering from time to time.

At this time, a sword aura burning with blood-red flames would shoot out, and in a flash, a raging fire would ignite on the sea surface.

This person was none other than the old hag mentioned by Tianjun Qu Hanjiang, a true disciple of the Southern Demonic Path, the Red Lotus Sword Demon Huo Zizai.

It is said that when this person was first reincarnated into this world, he landed in the territory of the Southern Demonic Sect, and he had a miraculous encounter in his childhood, obtaining a celestial karmic fire in the wilderness.

Later, her entire village was massacred, and she became the sole survivor. Inexplicably, she gained the approval of the Karmic Fire and began to refine it. Later, she was extremely patient and joined the Southern Demonic Sect that had annihilated the village. She gained the favor of the sect leader and began to practice the secret technique of the Southern Demonic Sect, the "Blood Sea Red Lotus Sword Scripture".

Furthermore, it merged the "Blood Sea Red Lotus Sword Scripture" with the power of karmic fire, transforming it into the "Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Scripture".

Anyone who dies under her Karmic Fire Crimson Lotus Sword Qi will have a portion of their soul power burned away by the Karmic Fire. The more people she kills, the faster she cultivates, the sharper her sword qi becomes, and the stronger the Karmic Fire becomes.

This person is said to have reached the Yuan Dan realm in less than five years. Furthermore, taking advantage of the Southern Demonic Sect's founder's seclusion, he launched the Karmic Fire Red Lotus Sword Formation, burning down the Southern Demonic Sect's headquarters and turning all the Southern Demonic Sect members into victims under his sword.

When the leader of the Southern Demonic Sect emerged from seclusion, the entire headquarters was already shrouded in the karmic fire and red lotus sword energy.

The Demonic Sect has always committed numerous evils, and the karmic fire burned incessantly for nine days and nine nights, turning the entire headquarters into a ghostly realm, leaving not a single skeleton behind.

As a result, her cultivation level soared, almost reaching the Nascent Soul realm.

However, he was later captured by the founder of the Southern Demonic Sect and suppressed under the Demon Peak of the main altar. He was subjected to the torture of having golden needles pierce his meridians and acupoints every day, and he wailed incessantly day and night until he was released a few years ago.

At this moment, Huo Zizai's sword heart throbbed, instantly locking onto the Heavenly Monarch and Earthly Emperor opposite her. She couldn't help but sneer inwardly, deciding to face whatever schemes the other side might have.

"At worst, we can activate the Karmic Fire Lotus Formation again and turn the vast sea into a land of karmic fire; at worst, we'll be suppressed under the Demon Peak again, suffer the torture of having our meridians pierced by golden needles, regain our senses, and hone our cultivation."

Thinking back to decades ago, when his soul was controlled by karmic fire due to excessive slaughter of living beings, turning him into a machine and beast that only knew how to kill, Huo Zizai couldn't help but shudder.
