After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

The journey to the Western Regions is long and arduous.

Chen Futu did not choose to detour through the Western Regions via the Tea Horse Road, but instead chose to travel south from the southern border.

To the south of the Shiwan Mountains in southern Xinjiang lies an endless ocean, where the fine sands of the mudflats shimmer with dazzling light.

Chen Futu, in the capital, inquired about the situation in the southern ocean.

The southern ocean, collectively known as the Sea of ​​No Return, stretches endlessly, is impossible to cross, and carries unimaginable risks.

The Han Hai where Wu Gensheng was located was a small part of the Wu Wang Hai bordering the Central Plains. It was an island surrounded by some small countries. Once Zhuge Liang recovered the southern border, he could send Gan Ning to take control of the entire region.

If one could cross the Boundless Sea and travel straight south, one could reach the Central Region. Unfortunately, the incarnation cannot do this, and there are no powerful ferries on the sea.

"System, send me a world map."

A world map requires one million points.

"I only have a little over a million points left. Can we make it cheaper, or can you give me a rough map to see the location?"

[A general map of this martial arts world is presented to the host.]

With a whoosh, Chen Futu had a map in his hand, about half a meter long and wide.

This map is like looking at a globe, only depicting general names. Zhongzhou is a supercontinent that occupies one-tenth of the world's area, and then there are several continents scattered around it, each about one-third the size of Zhongzhou.

The North and South Poles are also covered by continents, but they are not labeled. The overall ocean distribution looks to be about the same size as the oceans on Earth.

"Wait a minute, System, where's Lizhou?"

Chen Futu looked for a long time but still couldn't find Lizhou.

The system beeped and displayed the same map in his mind. A red dot was flashing in the north. Chen Futu glanced at it and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Damn, it's not that there's no Lizhou on the map, it's just that Lizhou is too small, about the size of a fingernail on the whole map.

Therefore, based on the scale, the overall area of ​​this martial arts world is initially estimated to be several hundred times the size of Earth.

This unscientific!

[Please refrain from discussing science in a martial arts world; Newton has no jurisdiction here.]

"All right……"

Chen Futu studied it for a long time with a wry smile.

Lizhou is an isolated island high overseas, which is why it is called a place of exile.

The closest continent to Lizhou is to the west, called the Northern Region. If the Northern Region is likened to a hamburger, then Lizhou is the crumb that fell off the top.

No wonder the system said that you can't get to the Central Region from Lizhou. The area of ​​the Boundless Sea is ridiculously large when converted, while Lizhou is very close to the Northern Region, almost right next to it. It seems to be separated from the mainland by a strait, but that strait is wide enough for the current size, so you should be able to cross by boat.

"System, last time the Ancient Temple said someone had taken a liking to Liu Longyue and wanted to marry her. That person was from a sect in Zhongzhou. How did he get here?"

Some major powers have branches in other major regions, so it's not difficult for them to come to Li Continent from the Northern Region.

"Really? If I ever run into that guy who threatened to steal my wife, I'll beat the crap out of him."

[As long as the host is happy]

The system spoke in a sarcastic and unfriendly tone.

Chen Futu was too lazy to scold it, so he immediately synchronized the information with his avatar. The avatar did not delay and headed west along the coast towards the Western Regions.

This journey was not easy, so Chen Futu was not in a hurry. He told his avatar not to just focus on traveling, but to take in the scenery along the way.

For Chen Futu himself, going out in disguise is like playing a game; what if he encounters a treasure chest in the wild?

[Please calm down, host. This is a martial arts world, fraught with danger, not a game.]

"When it comes to life, just do whatever makes you comfortable."

In fact, Chen Futu's heart sank the moment he learned that Lizhou was nothing compared to the entire martial arts world.

He still wanted to become the First Emperor, the invincible human emperor, but the system gave him a harsh lesson, which was somewhat like being a frog in a well, leaving him feeling utterly disheartened.

All talk of imperial ambitions, northern expeditions, and conquering the world seems utterly laughable in the face of this map.

"I think so too."

As Chen Futu walked along the beach muttering to himself, he replied, "Stay calm and don't panic. Let's get the complete puppet-refining technique first before we talk about anything else."

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

As Chen Futu walked along the coastline of the Boundless Sea, his state of mind was elevated.

The main reason is that you often see ocean storms. The waves in the depths of the Wuwang Sea can rise thousands of feet high. Anyone who sees this often can temper their mind.

Chen Futu picked up a lot of huge seafood along the way and threw them all into the system space.

The mighty Great Sage Emperor, an invincible being below the Sage King, had to travel and also catch the sea at the same time, which was somewhat bittersweet.

In the capital, Chen Futu gave the seafood to the imperial chef, and Qin Liangyu and Li Xiuning loved the delicious food he prepared. After all, Chen Futu was a supreme expert, and the seafood he received was not ordinary fish or shrimp. The seafood had excellent meat quality and contained extremely strong true essence, which would be of great benefit to martial artists if they ate more of it.

"It was definitely the right decision to let the avatar go out for a walk; this kind of seafood can't be bought in the Central Plains."

Chen Futu then gave his avatar instructions, telling him to use this time to travel along the coast and collect as much high-quality seafood as possible to nourish his wives.

"Big brother, you're amazing."

Chen Futu, carrying a giant sea crab, was swept away by a wave to the edge of a fishing village more than ten miles away.

A group of toddlers surrounded a crab that was bigger than them, clapping their hands excitedly with wide eyes, while people from the fishing village also gathered around, pointing and commenting.

Chen Futu simply handed over the prey to them to cook, taking the opportunity to scout out its location, because the system was too unreliable, and the map did not have detailed coordinates.

The fishing village set up a large pot to cook delicious crabs. If they knew that these crabs had the combat power of a Martial Emperor, they would probably be terrified.

An old fisherman said, "This place is already in the Western Regions. If you go north, you will reach the territory of the Chen Kingdom."

"Chen State?"

"Yes, the ruler of Chen is a woman. She is very powerful. In just over half a year, she swept through most of the southern territory. In a sense, we are all subjects of Chen."

"I see……"

The Chen Kingdom is a Central Plains dynasty named after the Buddha Chen by Consort Ge. With the help of the Right Deputy Commander of the Sand Sea and the White Tiger Legion, it wouldn't be difficult for them to sweep through the southern region in the short term.

"I heard that the Empress has recently run into trouble," another villager said.

Chen Futu's expression darkened. "What trouble?"

"The State of Chen touched the territory of Little Mount Sumeru and was taught a lesson. It is said that an entire legion was wiped out, and she herself was wounded. There is also a legend that Little Mount Sumeru made her submit and spread Buddhist faith in the State of Chen. Purple Buddhist flowers grew in those villages, and many people went mad. It was terrifying."

"Yes, it is said that the Empress herself was planted with Buddhist flowers and became neither human nor ghost. Chaos broke out frequently in the Chen Kingdom, and many people fled abroad."

Listening to the people's discussions, Chen Futu narrowed his eyes, his heart filled with murderous intent.

"Little Mount Sumeru, you dare to touch my women and beloved concubines? This is the perfect time to settle both old and new scores!"
