Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

(What kind of country bumpkin dares to be on the same level as my spirit pet and mount? I am the master's heir, and everything here will be mine in the future.)

Both the human and the dragon harbored their own thoughts, sensing that the other's sudden appearance would definitely pose a threat to them.

………………

Inside the quiet room, as the man and the dragon left, Su Yuchen waved his hand, and a bronze mirror appeared in his hand. It was the divine artifact that the Dao Ancestor had refined using the Taiji Diagram.

At this moment, the bronze mirror shimmered with seven-colored light. Su Yuchen's gaze was deep and unfathomable. Behind him, the innate Yin-Yang and Five Elements divine light flowed, turning into chaos, as if ascending infinitely.

As Su Yuchen continued to ascend, a phantom image of a long, illusory river seemed to appear out of nowhere before his eyes, its surface shrouded in a hazy, chaotic mist, preventing anyone from peeking in.

Su Yuchen raised his right hand, and a bronze mirror appeared in his hand. He lowered his head and looked through the mist towards the upstream of the river.

Guided by the bronze mirror, countless shimmering lights of different colors surged in the river, each ray of light telling a different story of joy and sorrow.

Unfortunately, without clear landmarks, Su Yuchen was like a fish swimming upstream, unable to determine his own position and thus unable to leave a mark in these fleeting lights.

Su Yuchen's eyes were deep and unfathomable, reflecting the shifting light, his mind unmoved and steadfast. A trace of golden energy within him acted like a stabilizing needle, protecting his primordial spirit from the corruption of the chaotic mist.

"That's really tempting!"

"The consequence of losing one's mind and spirit is death and the annihilation of one's spiritual essence!"

"No wonder I can't become a Great Luo Immortal and can't peer into the River of Time. Each stream here is a temptation. If I'm not careful, without the suppression of metal element, once I fail to reverse time, all my previous efforts will be in vain, and I will be completely annihilated."

Lost in thought, Su Yuchen's eyes held only coldness and indifference. As his eyes opened and closed, golden light flowed, and the chaotic mist and seven-colored light shed all their mystery at this moment, leaving only the ever-rolling world surging towards the future.

Su Yuchen smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth curving upwards, clearly indicating that he was in a very good mood.

Gently stroking the bronze mirror, he murmured to himself, "I have entered the Great Luo. As long as I have been here and witnessed it, am I not also a part of this world that I should have been?"

The next second, Su Yuchen exerted his physical body and primordial spirit simultaneously, and a massive amount of true essence surged into the bronze mirror. The seven-colored light instantly surged, stirring up space and time. Su Yuchen reached out and flicked his hand, and the chaotic mist in front of him automatically dissipated. In the distant river of time and space, a stream of light breathed in and out, echoing the bronze mirror.

"Found you, world of wind and clouds!"

Behind Su Yuchen, a blurry, indistinct Daoist dharma image, neither Daoist, Buddhist, demonic, nor Confucian, rose up, a long sword in its hand gleaming with a glassy light, slashing down along the river of time and space; a clearly visible 'path' appeared before Su Yuchen's eyes.

"Boom!"

As Su Yuchen stepped onto the 'Path', his immortal and indestructible body was like the ramming horn of a giant warship, cleaving through the river; his primordial spirit was like the helmsman, steering the giant ship, cutting through the wind and waves.

With a single step, the surrounding scenery became bizarre and rapidly changing, until it reappeared, leaving only a vast, chaotic void before my eyes.

In the chaos, an enormous body lay horizontally, draped in a robe of nine dragons, with the will of humanity transforming into dragon shadows that enveloped him completely.

This is an invincible king of all heavens!

Within the king's body, a world is constantly changing and evolving—the world of wind and clouds!

For Su Yuchen, it was only a few days, but in the world of Fengyun, thousands of years had passed.

Looking around, countless martial arts academies across the land have a statue of the God of War standing tall. People come and go in an endless stream, and occasionally someone will stop and point at the statue.

"This is the Martial God of China!"

"He created the Nine Heavens Divine Realm, ensuring the continuity of martial arts and the orderly inheritance of humanity..."

"Our land of China does not worship gods, not even the God of War!"

"But his achievements are indelible, and humanity will remember them forever!"

"He is the beacon of China's revival..."

……

Voices converged from within the world, a testament to Su Yuchen's past achievements and a guiding light for him to look back on his past.

At this moment, Su Yuchen's mind descended, and a wisp of his divine sense became inextricably linked with the world; at this moment, Su Yuchen left his own mark upon returning; at this moment, countless Su Yuchens belonging to the world of Fengyun began to awaken.

"boom!"

Su Yuchen's vision went dark as he exited his previous state and returned to the River of Time once more.

At this moment, along the long river of time from the mutated Shushan world to the Fengyun world, figures of Su Yuchen appear one after another, each representing his past self.

All the past Su Yuchens turned their heads at the same time and looked over from upstream. At this moment, Su Yuchen achieved a brief unification in the river of time and space.

At this moment, 'He' occupies a part of this stretch of time and space, and no one can change 'He' at this moment.

You occupy a part of the river of time and space; you truly possess the essence of the Great Luo.

The road to Da Luo is long, so cherish every step.

Su Yuchen, from all the timelines of the river of time, smiled and looked back at the past, where a black and white divine light-filled Dao diagram slowly dissipated.

Su Yuchen's gaze was deep and unfathomable. Through a corner of the Dao diagram, he seemed to see a corner of an ancient palace high above the nine heavens.

Inside the palace, a blue ox lay horizontally, a Taoist boy tended the fire, a qilin ran about, and a crane soared; however, the main seat was empty, as the master of this place was no longer there, with only a Taoist diagram remaining on the table.

"The Supreme Eight Views Palace!"

The moment he saw it, the name was etched into Su Yuchen's heart.

As the Dao diagram disappeared, the ancient palace also refused all prying eyes, leaving Su Yuchen feeling somewhat lost.

"Go back! You are still too weak for Da Luo. This will only affect your mood."

Unconsciously, a domineering and majestic voice rang out, with a hint of weariness that could not be concealed in its words.

As this sound rang out, Su Yuchen involuntarily fell towards the chaos. In the instant he fell into the river of time, his last sight was of the king entangled in chaos opening his eyes and glancing at him.

Your arrival has allowed the Human Emperor's Dao Fruit to awaken for a moment, and the will of humanity has begun to truly recover, illuminating all the heavens and myriad realms.

Chapter 626 Su Yuchen's Progress, the Fire Dragon's Fortune

The mutated world of Shushan.

Inside the alchemy room, in a cave that was originally empty except for a small puddle, a figure now sat cross-legged. With each breath, spiritual energy, flowing like clouds and mist, was exhaled, and a surge of powerful true energy stirred up gusts of breeze.

After a long while, Li Xiaochen opened his eyes, and wisps of sword energy, as cold as the moon, flickered in his eyes. With a flick of his sword, dozens of sword energies struck at the same point, causing a small puddle beside him to ripple slightly. A stream of water, about the length of a little finger, turned into a thin thread and fell into his mouth.

“One day of cultivation here is equivalent to a year elsewhere. This puddle is actually a pure liquid of spiritual energy. A single drop is a spiritual pill that can be used directly for cultivation. Even Mount Shu and Mount Emei don’t have such a generous approach.”

"Now that more than half a month has passed, I wonder how that senior is doing in his seclusion?"

"Alas! This place is nice, but I cannot find peace in my heart!"

Li Xiaochen was lost in thought for a moment, then shook his head. Now, he had no choice in anything and could only wait for the day of his judgment.

At this moment, Li Xiaochen was so eager for strength that the sword light in his dantian surged like a tide. The spiritual liquid that had just been absorbed into his body emitted boundless spiritual energy, which was swept up by the sword light and shattered into Asura sword energy, flowing throughout his body.

At the entrance of the alchemy room, a flash of fiery red light appeared, and the fire dragon quietly peeked out to glance at Li Xiaochen, who was meditating with his eyes closed. Its gaze held a hint of approval and a hint of inquiry.

It then disappeared again.

………………

In a quiet room.

Su Yuchen opened his eyes, and a wisp of gold quietly faded away, as if he had returned from nothingness to reality.

In addition to the sense of security brought by the foundation of the Great Luo, there was also a feeling of omnipresence in the void.

"As long as I remain in this part of time and space, I cannot be erased!"

"The world of Fengyun is clearly the Human Emperor's backyard. If you want to eliminate me, you have to eliminate the Human Emperor first. This time it's in the bag."

Taking out the bronze mirror, Su Yuchen circulated his true energy and focused his mind. Under the original coordinates, many more densely packed and unfamiliar coordinates appeared. These were the worlds in the long river of time that he had seen after unifying the world.

All of this does not require one to go there personally. One's past self, situated above the river of time, will spontaneously project onto these worlds, leaving behind imprints.

As long as enough 'people' in these worlds believe in themselves, call upon themselves, and gather enough power, the projection will establish a connection with themselves. At that time, they can project in reverse, seize the world's authority, and become a beacon.

Seeing that only the Fengyun World was emitting a faint light, while the other landmarks were still dark, Su Yuchen was not in a hurry and put away the bronze mirror.

With a thought, everything in the cave came into view. Su Yuchen smiled slightly as he looked at the entrance to the quiet room, and a door quietly opened.

The fire dragon, which had been peeking around, was slightly taken aback, then overjoyed, and transformed into a streak of light to enter the gate.

………………

"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master! Your cultivation has greatly improved; may you enjoy eternal bliss!"

As soon as I appeared, Charmander offered a long string of flattery, his words clear and distinct, clearly not the first time he had said it, and who knows how long he had been rehearsing it in secret.

Su Yuchen raised an eyebrow and said, "You can talk now."

A hint of fawning joy appeared on the dragon's small head as it responded:

"So that you may know, sir, I have not been lazy at all during this period. I have been going to the herb garden every day to recite the Taoist scriptures. The more I recite, the clearer my mind becomes. Not long ago, I was suddenly able to speak."

"During this period of time, there have been frequent disturbances from the Central Plains, the Western Desert, and overseas rogue cultivators. Over time, I have naturally learned how to deal with them."

Su Yuchen nodded and said, "Your cultivation is not weak, but your beastly nature is hard to tame, which is why you have never been able to speak. I never expected you to have such good fortune. It has not been in vain that I recited the Daoist scriptures."

The little fire dragon shook its head, leaving afterimages, and said, "I thank you for your guidance, Master. Only then did I shed my beastly nature and gain an opportunity within my bloodline. Now, not only can I speak human language, but I have also mastered the art of flying through the clouds!"

"Oh? That's quite rare. I originally thought you would have to undergo several tribulations to purify your bloodline and gain good fortune. I didn't expect you to have such comprehension and such good luck," Su Yuchen praised.

Seeing the other person's hesitant and unsure of what to say, Su Yuchen raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there anything else? Feel free to tell me."

The demons of the Northern Wilderness are about to arrive, demanding its return to the demon race.

Before Charmander could even speak, the narrator had already given a hint.

The little dragon pondered:

"So that you may know, sir, that ever since I tamed my beastly nature and received the inheritance, there has been a force constantly pulling me northward."

“During my several cultivation sessions, I saw a golden dragon appear in my dreams, saying that I had tamed my beastly nature, obtained the inheritance, and was qualified to join the demon race and be included in the dragon lineage.”

Su Yuchen nodded and said:

“You previously only had a dragon body, but no inheritance, and your bloodline was also mixed, so naturally you were not in the eyes of the powerful demons. At most, you were just a ferocious beast.”

"But now that the bloodline inheritance has been activated, and through continuous cultivation and purification of the bloodline, it will gradually move closer to a true dragon, which is already worth the dragon race's investment."

"With your current cultivation level, if you were to join the Northern Wilderness Dragon Clan, you could at least rule over a region of aquatic tribes, enough to be called a Demon King. Do you have any thoughts on this?"

Upon hearing this, the little dragon shook its head vigorously, saying:

"I refuse!"

“The little ones haven’t lost their bestial nature; they’re still ferocious beasts. Now that they’ve had this opportunity, they want to recognize me again. It’s simply outrageous.”

"Moreover, I've come into contact with many humans during this time and know that not only are people cunning, but so are demons. If I go to the demon realm, I'll be all alone and helpless. Wouldn't I just be cannon fodder, as humans say?"

“Master has been very kind to me, and I am willing to serve you and take your place.”

Su Yuchen smiled and said, "You seem to know quite a lot. It looks like you've made quite a few friends."

The little dragon nodded and said:

“During this period of time, cultivators have been coming to disturb us. But ever since I defeated Li Yingqiong, the leader of the Three Heroes of Emei, these humans have changed their tune and are now befriending me.”

"That so-called true disciple of the Qingcheng Sect, a man named Yan Shisan, drank and chatted with me, talking about many things about human relationships. Now I'm not as ignorant as I used to be."

[Qi Shuming, the Master of Emei Sect, received a report from Qu Hanjiang that a fire dragon had appeared deep in the South China Sea, and that a great master might be about to be born.]

[Without knowing your true strength or weakness, to avoid triggering a fierce battle, I only sent Li Yingqiong to probe your intentions.]

The various factions of the Central Plains have learned that a cave has appeared deep in the South Sea, suspected to be the resurrection of an old monster left over from the last great battle.

[The various factions in the Central Plains have tested this place and confirmed that the guardian spirit beast, the Fire Dragon, is blessed with the merits of heaven and earth. Killing it recklessly will bring disaster. Before knowing your strength, no one is willing to come and disturb you.]

The various factions in China who intend to carry out their 'natural disasters' have been passed down and are swarming into the South China Sea. Now, millions of people along the coast of the South China Sea have been struck by natural disasters.

Chapter 627 The Little Fire Dragon's Fortune, Li Xiaochen's Doubts

"Oh? You've already met Li Yingqiong? What's she like?"

Upon hearing Su Yuchen's question, the little fire dragon frowned and replied without hesitation:

"Does the master also know this person?"

"So that the master may know that I dislike that Li Yingqiong very much."

"This person exudes a menacing aura. I don't know if it's because we're incompatible according to the Chinese zodiac, but I felt disgusted at first sight. Moreover, he speaks arrogantly and attacks me as soon as we meet."

Seeing that it even mentioned the incompatibility of the eight characters in its words, Su Yuchen was speechless. It was clear that it got along well with the Earth's 'natural disasters'.

But upon further reflection, it becomes clear that these natural disasters always believe in joining forces if they can't win, and that victory is achieved as long as they can get something out of it; there's nothing they won't do.

However, those things were nothing to the fire dragon; capturing any ferocious beast from the depths of the sea would be enough to satisfy them.
