Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

After the turmoil at Murong Villa.

Peace returned to the Ming Dynasty.

Prince Ning's rebellion was suppressed without causing much trouble.

His accomplices, such as Ling Tui Si and his ilk, naturally did not have a good ending.

Ding Dian joined the "Twelve Hours" to find a place for him and Ling Shuanghua to rely on.

After Zhang Jing and her two daughters became fully familiar with the operation of the Ming Dynasty's "Twelve Hours", Ren Ruyi returned to Anguo with Xiyu and others.

During this period, Zhao Xu went to the capital and turned the Chakravartin into a complete puppet.

With Gu Santong in charge and Yan Nantian's support, the Ming Dynasty's "Twelve Hours" has become stable.

Soon, Jiang Yuyan, who had learned the art of grafting, became a master, and Zhao Xu was completely relieved.

Time flies.

Before I knew it, it has been more than five years since I left Xiaowang Village.

Today, the young boy who used to fish on Chunshen Lake has grown up.

Zhao Xu plans to return to the East Continent.

Different from the route he took when he came here, he will go west along the coast, pass the coasts of Ming and Song, and reach the southeast of Sui.

The Great Sui Dynasty is the last stop of Zhao Xu's journey to the west. After that, he will head eastward across the Great Sui Dynasty, cross the desert, and return to Liyang.

The sky is low.

Dark clouds gathered over the vast ocean.

The sky was gradually shrouded in darkness and became gloomy.

There was a howling sea breeze, the waves began to become turbulent, and in the distance, thunder rumbled, foreshadowing the coming of a rainstorm.

On the ship, the crew are busy.

Fold the sails and check various equipment.

The waves hit the boat and it swayed from side to side.

A figure stood on the deck, as if rooted between heaven and earth, and the shaking of the ship had no effect on it.

In the storm, it is like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea, and is as immovable as a mountain.

This person is Zhao Xu.

After dealing with the follow-up issues of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Xu sailed out to sea, heading west, and is now near the southeast of the Sui Dynasty.

If it were the previous Zhao Xu, he would inevitably have troubles as the ship swayed with the storm.

However, as Zhao Xu's practice progressed, especially through exchanges with many supreme grandmasters, his understanding of the sword's meaning became increasingly profound.

At this moment, he used the sword intent to drive the vitality of heaven and earth to keep his body stable.

When the vitality of heaven and earth that can be manipulated by the Sword Intent reaches a certain level, one can fly in the air like a grandmaster.

Zhao Xu is at this point now.

The power of heaven and earth controlled by a grandmaster is far stronger than that of a grandmaster, and he can drive enough energy of heaven and earth to fly in the air.

Flying in the air is the symbol of a grandmaster.

"Boom"

A flash of thunder streaked across the sky, the dark sky turned pale, the sea surface shook, and huge waves were set off.

Zhao Xu had been maintaining his sword intent state. After a moment, he seemed to have realized something and slowly walked to the edge of the deck, ready to jump into the sea.

The captain saw it from a distance and shouted:

"Mr. Zhao, come back!"

Zhao Xu ignored him and went straight down.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Before the captain could react, a long laugh came from the sea.

Zhao Xu flew in the air over the waves, laughing as he flew back to the deck.

At this moment, Zhao Xu's sword power has reached a small level.

The energy of heaven and earth that he could drive reached the level of a perfect grandmaster, and he could fly in the air for a short period of time.

Zhao Xu comprehended the sword intent of heaven and earth, which greatly enhanced his killing power.

However, the sword power that had not yet achieved a small success was unable to drive enough energy from heaven and earth to fly in the air.

The sudden enlightenment he had today brought his sword skills to a higher level.

This also resolved the embarrassment of him having the strength of a perfect grandmaster of the second level of flower cultivation but being able to only run on the ground.

The minor success in his sword power also made his sword's killing power even stronger.

He gradually progressed towards becoming the top combat power below the Supreme Grand Master.

Now he can rival the Grandmaster of the Second Flower Perfection who has comprehended the second level of meaning.

Zhao Xu flew into the air and landed on the deck. The captain was overjoyed and ran over to say:

"My Lord Zhao, please don't scare me like this again!"

"I had a sudden realization and I'm sorry for disturbing you." Zhao Xu said apologetically.

Seeing that Zhao Xu was safe, the captain didn't say anything more.

In his opinion, those who can fly in the air are immortals, and he has no right to comment on that.

Along with the first drop of rain, dense raindrops fell and continued to grow larger.

"There will be a heavy rain soon, you should go into the cabin and rest!"

Hearing this, Zhao Xu nodded and turned to enter the cabin.

……

The waves were raging and the rain was pouring.

The wind was howling on the sea, huge waves were rising into the sky, several feet high, and rain was hitting the ships violently.

There was a doomsday scene on the sea.

The scene outside the cabin had no effect on Zhao Xu.

He was now in the room holding a cup of tea, lost in thought.

The Sui Dynasty is now beginning to show signs of chaos, but it has not yet fully broken out.

The martial arts here are brilliant, there are many masters, and there are four great books handed down from generation to generation.

It is said that if one practices to the extreme, one can break through the void and reach a realm above that of immortals on land.

The most famous among them is the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian.

It is said that he has mastered the supreme art of Heavenly Demon Strategy, the Dao Heart Planting Demon Method, to the extreme, and can break through the void and ascend to the upper realm at any time.

However, there are no masters above the level of land immortals in the Great Sui Dynasty now, and the three supreme grand masters are respected.

"The Wanderer" Ning Daoqi, "The Sword Master" Fu Cailin, and "The Martial Master" Bi Xuan.

Ning Daoqi is the Han Chinese Grandmaster of Taoism in the Central Plains.

Fu Cailin and Bi Xuan were the faces of the two strongest ethnic groups in the Sui Dynasty, Goryeo and Turks.

The central government of the Sui Dynasty gradually declined and was unable to control the world. The two ethnic groups are now in a state of autonomy.

Except for the three supreme grand masters in the open.

There are also many masters such as "Heavenly Sword" Song Que, "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan, etc.

"The Four Great Books, the Evil Emperor's Relics, the He Clan Jade Jade... these are all treasures that can help with cultivation."

Zhao Xu's primary goal when he arrived at the Sui Dynasty was to obtain the secret of immortality from one of the four great books.

The Secret of Immortality is said to have been written by Huangdi's teacher, the ancient immortal Guangchengzi. The book has 7,400 words, written in oracle bone script, and is extremely profound.

However, the book comes with seven human-shaped cultivation pictures, which correspond to the Five Elements and Yin and Yang.

As far as I can remember, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling each practiced one of the Yin-Yang diagrams before they began practicing.

With the blessing of his natural talent and understanding, Zhao Xu was confident that he could also achieve it.

time flies.

The heavy rain gradually stopped.

When the sun shone through the dark clouds and began to shine again, Zhao Xu walked out of the cabin and returned to the deck.

Soon, the dark clouds completely dissipated and the sky became clear.

Zhao Xu looked up and saw a colorful rainbow hanging in the sky.

With such beautiful scenery, Zhao Xu was in a good mood.

"Look, there's a huge ship!"

The exclamation attracted the attention of everyone on the boat.

Zhao Xu heard this and looked sideways, seeing a huge ship slowly passing by not far away.

This ship has a very deep draft, and its appearance and flag are very different from those on the mainland, and it is not of Japanese style.

Seeing this huge ship, Zhao Xu was thoughtful.

He came to the captain's ear and whispered a few words, then flew into the air in the astonished eyes of everyone.

Fly directly towards the giant ship.

On board the Dongming.

Many people are patrolling back and forth, looking for hidden dangers that may arise from the heavy rain.

These people who have lived on the boat all year round are all agile, sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, and many of them are warriors who have practiced martial arts.

"Look, there's a man flying over there on the boat!"

"what?"

……

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.
