Narration System for the Journey of Martial Arts

Rumor has it that within the imperial palace, besides the Ming Emperor, whose fate is unknown, who is a Grandmaster who suppresses the world, there is also a rumor that his personal eunuch Gao Lan has received the Ming Emperor's inheritance and is the number one person below the Grandmaster.

The young eunuch, who had always been by the boy's side, sighed and said in a high-pitched voice:

"The Emperor Emeritus has not yet passed away, and the Emperor is still on the throne. How can we betray our master? Besides, are you even worthy?"

"I originally thought that my family was more skilled and that we would take advantage of your grand banquet for your officials to bring the emperor to the temple, awaken the god, and obtain the inheritance; I never expected that this was your conspiracy, which instead helped you find the temple."

"I thought there was still a chance. I didn't even consider two mere grandmasters a threat. I didn't expect you to chase after me all night. Aren't you afraid that the capital will fall into the hands of others?"

"However, I am the least likely to believe in fate. I will trade one for three, dragging you down with me. I will not fail His Majesty's trust. As long as His Majesty can obtain the inheritance and advance to the Martial Arts Grandmaster level, he can naturally quell the rebellion and restore order."

Are you sure you want to die with our family?

Upon hearing this, the Demon Queen clapped her hands, and three figures approached from afar, quickly landing not far away. They were three more Grandmasters.

"I dared to come because I was fully prepared. These five people are enough to hold you off."

"If I enter the temple first, borrow the blood of Mingde, awaken the God, and obtain the inheritance, who in this world would dare to disobey me?"

“Eunuch Gao, the Ming Dynasty has lasted too long. This world ultimately belongs to all the people. The will of the people is my source of confidence.”

Eunuch Gao's face was solemn, and he sneered disdainfully, "So many years have passed, and the Empress Dowager is still as sharp-tongued as ever. My only regret is that I didn't kill you with a single blow when you first entered the palace."

"Since that's the case, don't blame me. Make your move!"

At a command, the five grandmasters exchanged glances and immediately pounced forward. Eunuch Gao, with a solemn expression, protected Emperor Mingde behind him. His figure flashed, leaving behind many afterimages. His claws were dripping with blood as he fought the five men.

The Demon Queen remained unmoved, allowing the five to wear down Gao Lan's strength, and chuckled sweetly:

"Eunuch Gao was actually hiding his strength. No wonder you didn't take me seriously earlier. Who would have thought that Eunuch Gao could fight five Grandmasters to a draw?"

"I underestimated you, but I didn't underestimate you either. If I hadn't been cautious, I would have really been caught off guard."

Gao Lan continued his movements, his voice carrying far through the battle: "Does the Empress Dowager intend to use this to divide the servants' hearts and launch a sneak attack? Why not give it a try?"

"Alright!" The Demon Queen giggled, and with a swift movement, she rushed into the battlefield as fast as lightning. She struck out with her palm, and the thunderous roar was like ten thousand horses galloping, the fierce and domineering energy erupting like a volcano.

"Boom boom boom!!!"

The two exchanged blows, and the other five were forced to stay away by the fierce energy.

"You vixen, you actually stole the Heavenly Martial Secret Scripture! How could His Majesty possibly teach you the Heavenly Sea Fist Scripture and the Heavenly Dragon Absolute Leg?" Gao Lan snorted, pulling Emperor Mingde with his right hand as they sped backward, a trace of bright red stain on his lips.

The empress stood there, saying, "If it weren't for Eunuch Gao having to take care of Bin'er, I really wouldn't be a match for you. But now that things have come to this, are you still unwilling to surrender to me?"

Looking at Gao Lan's eyes, the Demon Queen laughed and said, "Eunuch Gao, are you still puzzled about the Heavenly Martial Secret Scripture? Actually, it's nothing. My ancestors were surnamed Yun, and they have guarded the Heavenly Martial Secret Scripture for ten generations. How could I not have remembered even the slightest bit of it!"

"I see! It's true what they say, it's hard to guard against a thief within your own ranks," Gao Lan said.

As he spoke, Gao Lan's face turned bright red, and his body seemed to be covered with a layer of blood-flame armor. His blood and qi swirled like a furnace, and heat waves rolled around him.

"Stop him!"

The Empress only had time to shout before Gao Lan sneered, grabbed Emperor Mingde with his left hand, and with a flick of his right hand at his waist, a silver streak shot into the sky, leaving a trail of afterimages above the crowd.

With a flash of silver light, like a roc spreading its wings, countless feathers fell like specks of light, seemingly slow but actually fast, reaching the top of everyone's heads in an instant.

The Demon Queen's eyes narrowed, her sleeves billowing like the sky, as she struck heavily towards the top of her head.

"The Heavenly Roc Flying Feather Sword! Mingzhi actually passed it on to you."

Under the incredulous gaze of the Empress Dowager, Gao Lan grabbed Emperor Mingde and flashed to the entrance of the dilapidated temple. With a flash of silver light, he cut Emperor Mingde's finger, and blood dripped onto the stone lotus at the entrance. The old temple door opened with a sound.

Watching the two rush into the temple, the Demon Queen hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took out a jade bottle. Fresh blood churned inside the bottle; it was the blood of Emperor Mingzhi.

"I must obtain the throne and show the world that when a woman becomes emperor, the world will still submit to her." As she muttered to herself, she swept into the temple.

Behind them, five grandmasters were critically injured and dying amidst a flurry of flying feathers. Each feather was a sharp sword technique, as if hundreds of people were attacking at the same time. They could not dodge and could only withstand the blows. Of the dozens of people who had not yet reached the grandmasters, only a few had formed a defensive formation to protect themselves.

………………

Upon entering the temple, they found it in a state of utter disrepair, with cobwebs and dust on the beams offering no indication that it was once a place of hope for saving the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Mingde couldn't help but show a hint of unease and anxiety.

Gao Lan watched from the side without saying a word, but in his heart he sighed that a boy is still a boy after all. No matter how calm and composed he is, he can't keep his emotions hidden.

"Your Majesty need not worry. This is the place where the founding emperor dreamed of the Daoist Lord, and it is also the place in the world closest to the Daoist Lord."

"The dilapidated state is merely to avoid attracting attention! After all, who would have thought that such a dilapidated temple, built in the middle of a desolate mountain, thousands of miles away from the capital, would be the number one temple in the world?"

As he spoke, Gao Lan couldn't help but cough, and his flushed face turned as white as paper again.

"We need to go in quickly. This old servant is seriously injured. Once that witch realizes what's happening, she'll definitely find a way to get in."

Emperor Mingde nodded, and Gao Lan grabbed his shoulder, swept past the incense burner and screen wall at the entrance, and headed towards the main temple in the backyard.

………………

"You are... Daojun?"

Pushing open the wooden door of the main temple, Gao Lan and Emperor Mingde saw Su Yuchen standing there in black robes.

At this moment, their hearts were filled with turbulent waves. The Dao Lord, who was only a legend, had descended into the world.

Chapter 640 Projection Ends

At this moment, Emperor Mingde and the old eunuch Gao Lan looked at the young man in black robes and felt that he perfectly matched all their guesses, as if every detail was confirming his identity.

And simply by seeing the other party, without needing words, confirmation, or guessing, one knows that the other party is the 'Supreme Myriad Manifestations Primordial Martial Great Dao Lord'!

You have forged this body with the power of faith in this world, and all the powers of creation respond to you; you conform to the expectations of all believers.

In Emperor Mingde's eyes, you are a supreme divine ruler who wields power, possesses overwhelming divine might, and sweeps away all demons.

In Gao Lan's eyes, you are an omnipotent and omniscient immortal, a Daoist master.

In the eyes of the Demon Queen Yun Yi, who says a woman can't be an emperor? Why can't a Daoist master be a woman?

[You refused to become a female prime minister, your favorability towards Empress Yunyi has decreased by 1]

Just as the narration began, a figure flashed at the main entrance of the main hall. At that moment, the Demon Queen Yun Yi, with the help of Emperor Mingzhi's bloodline, also arrived at this temple full of traps and saw Su Yuchen's presence at a glance.

At this moment, all three fell silent. This was not only contrary to their expectations, but also completely beyond their wildest imaginations.

In Emperor Mingde's eyes, the young man standing quietly opposite him was becoming increasingly powerful, like a heavenly emperor looking down on the mortal world. His divine grace was as vast as the sea, and his divine might was as powerful as a prison. His majestic and domineering aura made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"I want to be that kind of emperor, whose word decides the fate of the world," Emperor Mingde thought to himself.

In Gao Lan's eyes, the other party's gaze became increasingly indifferent, so indifferent that it seemed that they should not disrespect the other party's existence. They were more like an inconspicuous stone on the roadside, and even a casual glance from the other party was a favor to them.

"Indeed, he is a true immortal of the Daoist sect, a sage beyond the world, not to be compared with mortal ants, and not to be desecrated," Gao Lan thought to himself.

In the eyes of the Demon Queen Yun Yi, the other party's image seemed to be changing. At one moment he was a god of heaven and earth, at another moment he was a true immortal of the Taoist sect, and at another moment he was a Buddhist venerable one who saved all living beings. He never had a female appearance.

"How could this be? What exactly is he? Why is he the only one without a female appearance?" Empress Yunyi murmured to herself.

[Your feelings for Yunyi - 1]

[The Great Luo Cause and Effect is spontaneously generated. Your favorability towards Yun Yi has decreased. Cause and effect are swirling around you, automatically exchanging... Cause and effect are established, and the other party cannot surpass the Grandmaster realm, nor can they escape the cycle of reincarnation in this world.]

[Emperor Mingde and Gao Lan have taken notice of you. The power of the Great Luo Dao Lord has dissipated, and you have an effect on Emperor Mingde and Gao Lan.]

[An ignorant child who contemplates your existence and worships you day and night can acquire all the abilities to govern a country and enter the realm of a Grandmaster.]

[Gao Lan contemplates your existence and sees the source of all martial arts truths, thus gaining the ability to enter the Grandmaster realm.]

………………

"In just ten breaths, a wisp of divine thought descended, and then all its power was withdrawn, yet it still caused irreversible damage to the world?"

"No wonder the Ming Dynasty in this world has been able to exist for a thousand years. If one sincerely worships, one can obtain all the ways of governing a country that I see, hear, and experience!"

Su Yuchen remained silent, ignoring the intruder. All of this was completely unnecessary for him. The moment the intruder saw him, the cause and effect were established. As long as he was willing to grant it, he could obtain everything he wanted.

"The Great Luo Dao Lord is truly an inexplicable existence, impossible to guess, impossible to imagine, and impossible to get rid of."

At one moment, Su Yuchen felt the whole world tremble, as if the world was cheering and welcoming his arrival.

The next second, an enormous, sky-spanning phantom of a divine sword flashed by, and the world underwent a strange and seemingly illogical change.

[Your supreme authority has responded; you have gained the authority of the world's foundation.]

[When your true form draws the sword, this world bears your mark, becoming the cornerstone of your existence throughout the long river of time.]

You may leave now; your continued existence will have an irreversible impact on the world.

Looking at the narration, Su Yuchen smiled slightly, took the initiative to disperse his faith body, and then a wisp of divine thought rose higher and higher, flying out of the world and towards the Dao Lord's Dharma Image beyond the river of time and space. In his last glance, among countless seven-colored streams of light, a divine light was so in harmony with him, as if it existed because of him.

………………

Withdrawing his divine sense, Su Yuchen fell silent. He hadn't expected that the Great Luo Thought, after separating from him, would have the ability to transform into the 'other selves' of all the heavens.

"Is it a unique ability of mine, or the power bestowed upon me by the supreme authority?"

Thinking of the Dao Ancestor's thoughts still mutating in the Shu Mountain world, Su Yuchen shook his head, glanced at the world, and turned to leave the River of Time.

You took a peek at the world.

[With a single thought from the Great Luo, the future of the world shifts, transforming into a golden age of martial arts where Taoism, Buddhism, and demonism coexist.]

[With a single thought, the world blossoms.]

………………

As the figure of the young man in black robes faded away, and the other party never even glanced at them, a hint of disappointment inevitably flashed in the eyes of the young Emperor Mingde.

Before he could think any further, Gao Lan beside him suddenly felt his aura surge, and in the blink of an eye, he crossed the threshold of Grandmaster and began his advancement towards Great Grandmaster.

The demon queen Yun Yi's eyes changed at the entrance. She didn't dare to linger for a moment. Her figure flashed and she swept across the main hall corridor, heading towards the outside of the temple.

"Eunuch Gao, stop her quickly!" Emperor Mingde hurriedly said.

Gao Lan shook his head and, seeing the boy's puzzled look, said, "Your Majesty, you must not disrespect the Dao Lord."

Emperor Mingde was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

Gao Lan then said, "Your Majesty has already gained the Dao Lord's approval. As long as you focus your mind and meditate, you will soon become a Grandmaster. I will escort Your Majesty back to the capital to reorganize the court!"

“That wicked empress…” Emperor Mingde said.

Gao Landao:

"I see that the Empress Dowager's aura has not changed. I'm afraid that the Daoist Lord has not granted her any opportunity. If she were willing, she would never dare to enter the capital again."

"As for the future, will Your Majesty truly bear the name of matricide?"

Emperor Mingde shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It was my oversight. Never mind, let it be. Father is still waiting for us."

Gao Lan said no more, feeling his completely different state at this moment, marveling at the wonder of Dao Jun; he grabbed Emperor Mingde's left arm, an invisible aura rose up, and his figure flashed and disappeared in the hall, reappearing at the entrance of the temple.

Outside the temple, the forces belonging to the Demon Queen had all retreated. The few remaining eunuchs were busy cleaning up the corpses scattered on the ground while keeping an eye on the temple.

Upon seeing Emperor Mingde and Gao Lan appear, and recalling the Empress Dowager's haste to leave earlier, the eunuchs' eyes lit up with unparalleled joy—they had made the right bet!

"I will take His Majesty back to the capital. You few, clean the area around the temple. Don't let this filth desecrate the temple," Gao Lan said.

Several eunuchs hurriedly agreed, and Gao Lan then led Emperor Mingde away.

………………

Even from a distance, he could still hear the joy and eagerness in the voices of the eunuchs behind him, as if power was already beckoning to him.

Gao Lan shook his head silently in his heart. Power, power without strength, can it be protected?

“Eunuch Gao, these people…” Emperor Mingde said.

"Truly...a ruthless imperial family. Are they already in such a hurry to eliminate hidden dangers?" Gao Lan said silently.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant will clean it up properly," Gao Lan said.

Emperor Mingde nodded and said, "The place where the Dao Lord descended must not be desecrated. Eunuch Gao, you must protect the blood of my father and me, and prevent it from falling into the hands of those with ulterior motives. As for the Empress Dowager, there is still a hidden danger..."

Gao Lan nodded silently: "How can you know whether this is Daojun's arrangement?"

Chapter 641 Trap

Returning to the mutated Shu Mountain world, Su Yuchen pondered for a moment, gaining more insights into the thoughts left behind by the Dao Ancestor.

"Perhaps I can use this to get a better understanding of the Dao Ancestor's thoughts. But there's no need to rush; we can make our plans slowly."

Having figured this out, Su Yuchen swept his divine sense across the front yard. The two people and the dragon were still in the midst of enlightenment and had not yet woken up. Su Yuchen was not in a hurry. He made a circle with his right hand and used the Circle Light Technique to look at another arrangement.
