Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

The little dragon breathed a sigh of relief after walking quite a distance. It felt that this master was slightly different from the previous master, as if he was more majestic and had more of an ethereal air about him!

With a flick of his claw, two pearl-like elixirs flew from his right claw to Yan Shisan and his sister, saying, "Here, this is from the master. Brother Yan, take it! Since the master has promised, let's go pick a tea leaf. Let me tell you, I, Old Dragon, have been craving that tea leaf for a long time..."

………………

Hearing that the two people and the dragon had gone far away, Su Yuchen transformed and waved his sleeve, causing the alchemy furnace to automatically transform into a five-colored spiritual cloud gourd, hanging a batch of spiritual pills on the wall.

Su Yuchen lowered his head, looking at a sword manual in his right hand that was cyan with a faint golden hue.

"The Qingcheng Sword Manual!"

The ordinary scripture made Su Yuchen's avatar hesitate. His primordial spirit and Dao heart warned him that the scripture contained something terrifying.

You have obtained the "Qingcheng Sword Manual".

By utilizing the primordial and supreme inheritances to evoke resonance, you will gain unexpected rewards.

[At the same time, please be prepared for your avatar to dissipate.]

Upon receiving the narration's prompt, he smiled nonchalantly, banishing all distracting thoughts, and casually opened the sword manual.

At first glance, this is just an ordinary classic of Taoist swordsmanship. Although it contains profound meaning, it is not enough to awaken the Taoist heart and give a warning.

"If you continue to cultivate according to this sutra, in the state of formlessness and selflessness after the illumination of the divine, what you will be moved is not the will of this world, but another being."

"Is that Li Jingxu, the founder of Qingcheng Sect in this world?"

"It is rumored that he has already attained the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit. Only in this way, with a trace of golden nature remaining undying, can he disregard the Dao Ancestor's 'Other Self' Self-Transformation Freedom Method."

After pondering for a moment, Su Yuchen casually closed the Taoist scripture. He then transformed and drew a circle with his right hand. A circular light appeared in the air, and the scenery changed rapidly. Soon, he traveled thousands of miles and arrived at the Qingcheng Sect's headquarters.

As the circular light drew closer, the image pierced through the Star-Picking Tower, revealing figures dressed in Taoist robes—the core disciples of the Qingcheng Sect.

Su Yuchen's primordial spirit eye flashed with a golden light, penetrating the outward appearance and directly into the essence.

After a long while, he dispelled the spell and muttered to himself, "Interesting. The Qingcheng Sword Scripture that Yan Shisan cultivates is completely different from that of the other Qingcheng Sect disciples. It seems that only he has received Li Jingxu's true teachings!"

"Hehe, there's no point in thinking about it. You'll see when you see it!"

Su Yuchen transformed into a being surrounded by chaotic energy, his entire being seemingly fading away from the world, infinitely high and infinitely far, as if existing between non-existence and existence.

As the chaotic true energy flowed in, a wisp of azure sword light gradually emanated from the sword manual in his hand. Without hesitation, Su Yuchen continued to pour in the true energy until the sword manual resembled a great azure sun.

Without hesitation, the avatar's primordial spirit vanished into the azure sun.

Upon entering, the avatar felt sluggish, as if it were amber imprisoned. A trace of golden energy dispelled the illusions imposed by external objects. Raising its head, it saw a huge, towering, azure longsword hanging before its eyes.

It was this pure, sharp, and fierce azure sword energy that instantly imprisoned Su Yuchen's primordial spirit, making him like a lamb to the slaughter.

As Su Yuchen's avatar arrived, the previously calm sword energy within the azure sun instantly changed. The azure sword energy flowed like light, filling the heavens and earth, and endless killing intent flowed with the light, slashing down towards Su Yuchen's avatar.

"Buzz!"

Su Yuchen's vision went dark. In that instant, he seemed to see himself frozen in the river of time and space, and the worlds within the streams of light turned into amber, allowing the sword light to wash over them, and finally disappearing into the river of time and space.

In the quiet alchemy room, Su Yuchen's avatar had vanished, leaving only a book shimmering with azure sword light floating in mid-air on the cloud bed.

The next moment, Su Yuchen's true form, holding a bronze mirror, had already arrived at the alchemy room. The bronze mirror in his hand shimmered with seven-colored divine light, as if it were helping Su Yuchen stabilize his state.

Upon closer inspection, one would notice that Su Yuchen seemed to be returning from the past at this moment, and the original sense of unreality about him was disappearing, making him more solid.

Reaching out to take the sword manual, Su Yuchen listened to the narration in his ear:

[You have stirred up the legacy of the Primordial Beginning and the Supreme Being, you have triggered a portion of the legacy of the Celestial Venerable of the Spiritual Treasure, and you have obtained the intent of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword.]

Your avatar was slain by the Immortal Execution Sword Intent, and your temporal imprint was also severed by the Immortal Execution Sword Intent.

You have received the protection of the Supreme Dao Ancestor; your mark remains, and you cannot be killed.

You have gained a deeper understanding of the principles of time and space.

You have gained a deeper understanding of the laws of killing.

You have mastered the Immortal Execution Sword.

You have gained a deeper understanding of the Dao's ability to sever space and time.

"As expected of the Dao Ancestor-level Dao Lord inheritance, what terrifying sword intent! It pierces through time and space, slaying all imprints existing in the river of time and space, fundamentally erasing the possibility of existence."

"Most importantly, it possesses all of time and space, past and future, leaving no room for escape, with all of time and space enveloped by the sword intent."

"The path of the Great Luo is about competing with the past and the future!"

Sensing the colossal sword shadow that stretched to the heavens and the earth in his sea of ​​consciousness, Su Yuchen grasped the sword scripture, activated the secret technique, and three lotus flowers bloomed behind him in succession. Soon, a figure appeared out of nowhere and jumped out.

"Greetings, Your Excellency." The other party bowed respectfully.

Su Yuchen nodded and returned to his meditation room to cultivate in seclusion once more.

"So, is Li Jingxu actually an incarnation of Lingbao Tianzun's 'other self'?"

"No wonder he can play in the mortal realm without being affected by the Spirit Void Immortal Realm. After all, that person is the most bloodthirsty. If pushed too far, he would even annihilate the world and return it to chaos."

………………

In the Garden of Spirit Herbs.

Contrary to Yan Shisan's expectations, there were not countless exotic flowers and herbs. Apart from a few dozen spiritual roots used as walls, the entire spiritual herb garden contained only an ancient tea tree with a sinewy and strong structure, and a green stone block shaped like a tortoise, with a withered branch on top of two half-ripe fruits.

Looking at the flowing water-based spiritual liquid in the herb garden, Yan Shisan naturally understood that the tea tree that was collected and cherished by such a powerful figure was no ordinary product, and this small tea leaf must be some kind of rare treasure.

Thinking of the tea leaves, Yan Shisan then noticed that the tea tree had only nine tea leaves scattered about, and they were completely different from what he had seen before, looking like magical treasures the size of fingernails.

"Brother Long, is there any special story behind this tea?" Yan Shisan asked directly after examining it for a long time, unable to discern the truth.

The little dragon was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, wiped its drool, and said, "This old dragon doesn't know either. Both of these spiritual herbs have their own consciousness. This old dragon has only seen them from afar before and has never been in close contact with them."

"To be honest, this is the first time I've been this close! Brother Yan, you must share a cup with me later."

“Of course,” Yan Shisan said.

Chapter 634 Tea and Cause and Effect

Amidst the envy of the two, the little fire dragon flew into the spirit herb garden, waving its right claw towards a tea leaf that resembled a pill cauldron.

The next second, a withered branch from the tea tree lashed out and struck the dragon's claws hard, causing the little fire dragon to roll around repeatedly and see stars.

"Hahaha...you idiot, you know it has intelligence, yet you still tried to take it without asking, aren't you asking for a beating!" A child's voice rang in the ears of the two people and the dragon, full of schadenfreude.

Yan Xiaomei retorted, unconvinced, "But this was given to us by our senior."

The child's voice snorted coldly, completely ignoring her.

After a moment's thought, Yan Shisan understood that this was a demand for 'personal favors'! He waved to stop his younger sister, who was clearly dissatisfied.

"I understand what you mean, senior."

"Legend has it that when Tang Sanzang went to the Western Paradise to worship Buddha and seek scriptures, Buddha had already agreed, but Ananda, who was in charge of transmitting the scriptures, was in a dilemma. It was not until Tang Sanzang gave up a purple-gold bowl that he was able to obtain the true scriptures."

"I just wonder if this junior has anything that this senior tea tree would be interested in?"

Upon hearing Yan Shisan's words, the ancient tea tree made a rustling sound.

In a flash of inspiration, a small child appeared in mid-air; it was the spirit of the Vajra Bracelet.

It glanced at the ancient tea tree and said to Yan Shisan:

"You're not stupid, there's still hope for you."

"Don't think it's making things difficult for you. Do you know how precious this tea leaf is? To put it bluntly, even a pig could comprehend some of the great Dao by consuming this tea leaf."

"Although the master has agreed, the little help you've given this scraggly dragon isn't enough. Do you think you can take advantage of the master so easily? Do you dare to?"

"Taking advantage of the master is a huge karmic debt that you will never be able to repay in your next many lifetimes."

"It may seem like it's asking for something in return, but isn't it also saving you?"

Yan Shisan cupped his hands and said, "I am deeply grateful for your kind intentions in protecting me. I am willing to serve you if you have any requests."

Yan Shisan understood the spirit's words perfectly. By consuming this tea leaf, he could gain great fortune, at the very least paving the way for his path to immortality! As for Yuan Dan and Yuan Ying, those would be even less of a concern.

The spirit nodded and said:

"Ruzi can be taught!"

"You're much better than that stupid dragon!"

"To tell you the truth, this world is rich in spiritual energy, and the two of them have the opportunity to hear the master impart the Great Dao. However, they now have the Dao, but the methods are still lacking."

"The method that Master taught us before is slightly different from the one we have now. It can only be used as a reference and cannot be applied universally. If you want to use this to sever your original body and transform into a human, you still need to study a Taoist scripture."

“Originally, I could have just asked the master for this, but I took pity on you and let you have it.”

"You can take the tea, but you must return to them a top-tier Daoist scripture in this world. Otherwise, you will be unable to repay the debt due to karma. You will suffer the consequences later."

………………

The more Yan Shisan listened, the more he felt like he was doing an 'NPC' quest chain, with that powerful being being the ultimate boss and the little fire dragon and the artifact spirit being the ones who issued the quest chain.

Unfortunately, this is the real world, not a game.

However, Yan Shisan happened to know one of the top-tier Taoist scriptures. He had overheard his master, the Demon Subduer Jiang Shu, mentioning that the Qingcheng Ancestor, Li Jingxu, had suppressed a Taoist scripture at the foot of the Golden Whip Cliff on Qingcheng Mountain.

Legend has it that this scripture was passed down from the celestial realm of Lingkong, and for some unknown reason, it suddenly developed sentience. Anyone who wishes to cultivate this scripture must first pass a test and subdue the spirit within the book.

For hundreds of years, the Qingcheng Sect, including the Demon Subduing Immortal Jiang Shu and the Dwarf Old Man Zhu Mei, has never been recognized by the immortal in the book. Therefore, for thousands of years, no one has ever seen the true face of that Daoist scripture.

According to the calculations of Jiang Shu, the Demon Subduer, that Taoist scripture was no less than a top-tier Taoist scripture passed down by the Emei Sect.

The Qingcheng Sect has an unwritten rule that any disciple who reaches the Yuan Dan realm can apply to the sect leader and elders to go to Golden Whip Cliff to subdue this scripture.

Yan Shisan was very confident in his own talent, aptitude, comprehension, and supernatural abilities. As long as he could reach the Yuan Dan realm, he could apply to his master, the Demon Subduing True Man Jiang Shu, to go to Golden Whip Cliff to subdue this scripture.

Even if things go badly, the spirit of the artifact doesn't have a set time limit. At worst, after I reach the Nascent Soul stage, I can borrow my master's magic weapon, the flying sword, to kill the leader of the weakest of the Five Demonic Sects, the Northern Demonic Sect. I don't believe I can't steal a Daoist scripture.

However, this is the worst possible solution!

He would never allow himself to lose more than he gained by losing something small. After all, how could a Taoist scripture compare to this golden thigh? Didn't he realize that even a single hair on that thigh would require him to repay a huge debt of karma?

In an instant, Yan Shisan understood all of this. He raised his hand and swore, "After my cultivation improves, I will definitely find a top-notch Daoist scripture for Senior Tea Tree to refer to. If I break this oath, I will surely be invaded by inner demons and my Dao will perish in the world."

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of light appeared on the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, and a tea leaf the size of a fingernail, like a page of a book, drifted down and landed gently in Yan Shisan's hand.

The spirit of the Vajra Bracelet smiled and said:

This tea has two uses.

"The first method is to hold it under your tongue, and you will naturally know its wonderful effects. This method is the most effective and has the greatest benefits, but the drawback is that only you can enjoy the benefits."

"The second method involves soaking the tea in earth vein dragon jade marrow and then warming it with spiritual fire. The tea can not only enhance one's comprehension but also cleanse the primordial spirit and improve one's physical constitution. The downside is that the original effects are thus dispersed, and the greatest benefits cannot be obtained."

Yan Shisan flashed his sword, grasped the tea leaves, and said without hesitation, "This junior chooses the second one."

Amidst the little dragon's grateful expression, the Vajra Bracelet flashed, and its spirit vanished.

………………

Seeing that the annoying 'kid' was gone, the little fire dragon immediately flew over on a cloud. Looking at the tea leaves in Yan Shisan's hand, a faint fragrance of tea wafted in the air, making people feel at ease, as if they were on a cloud.

"What a good thing!"

"Brother Yan, hurry, let's go brew a cup and have a taste. My Dragon Flame is also one of the spiritual fires of heaven and earth, it's more than enough."

The little fire dragon hurriedly said.

Yan Shisan nodded, and the two people and the dragon immediately left the spirit herb garden.

………………

In a quiet room.

Su Yuchen closed his eyes and meditated, with the innate Yin-Yang and Five Elements divine light flowing behind him, and wisps of sword intent lingering in the quiet room.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, his primordial spirit continuously comprehended the intent of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword. A towering, azure-colored sword light stood alongside the intent of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword. As Su Yuchen comprehended it, the azure-colored sword light intensified, obscuring everything.

[You have comprehended the essence of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword, gained insight into killing, and improved the clarity of your Dao heart.]

[You have comprehended the essence of the Immortal Slaying Sword, gained insight into time and space, and improved your ability to sever time and space.]

[Your temporal imprint deepens, allowing you to: 1. Continue to rewind time, possess more of the past, spread throughout the world, and influence others; 2. As your temporal imprint deepens, you gain your temporal projection, which you can use to travel to that world. The deeper you participate, the more solid the imprint becomes.]
