All realms have enabled me to achieve the Great Dao.

The next day, An Daojun and a dozen or so young people came to the outside of the dojo and asked Zhou Yongcheng if they could bring people to the Martial Arts Stele to study.

Zhou Yongcheng imposed no restrictions on them, allowing them to do as they pleased.

An Daojun and the others were relieved and walked confidently to the Martial Arts Stele to study it.

More than a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Under his guidance, the two disciples that Zhou Yongcheng brought up the mountain have successfully cultivated to the early stage of refining essence into qi, which can be considered as entering the realm of cultivation.

Next, he sent the two little ones out to spar with the villagers who practiced martial arts, to give them some early training.

Especially Fu Xingchen, who cultivates the way of the sword, needs to practice frequently in order to benefit his cultivation and gain a deeper understanding of the way of the sword.

On this day, Zhou Yongcheng noticed a great battle between cultivators taking place in the east of the Great Xia Dynasty. He instantly disappeared from the training ground and reappeared in the sky above the battlefield.

To the east of the Great Xia lies the East Sea, and across the East Sea is the Japanese Kingdom, whose cultivators are ninjas and Onmyoji.

The techniques the ninjas practiced were stolen from the Great Xia Dynasty; their so-called ninjutsu was actually the Five Elements Escape Technique.

The primordial spirit cultivated by Onmyoji, what they call shikigami, is actually the raising of various spiritual entities. Once these spiritual entities enter a cultivator's sea of ​​consciousness, they will devour the primordial spirit of others, thereby strengthening themselves and providing feedback to the host.

Zhou Yongcheng noticed that many of the shikigami (spirits) of the Japanese Onmyoji were evil souls, nurtured by devouring countless souls.

On the battlefield, the cultivators of the Great Xia Dynasty were basically able to suppress the cultivators of the Japanese Dynasty.

The various techniques and supernatural abilities cultivated by the cultivators of the Great Xia Dynasty were a fatal blow to the cultivators of the Japanese Kingdom, unless their cultivation level surpassed that of the cultivators of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The demonic and evil cultivators of Great Xia seemed unusually excited to see the Japanese cultivators, because the shikigami of the Japanese Onmyoji were like a great tonic to them, practically food delivered to their doorstep.

On a flying boat in the air, two people watched the battle between the cultivators below.

"What's gotten into these Japanese cultivators this time? How dare they invade Great Xia?"

The Japanese monks' incursion into their territory caught them off guard; it was too sudden.

"I don't know what's going on. Judging from the scale of this cultivator invasion, it's not very large. I wonder what kind of conspiracy Japan is playing."

The two chatted while keeping an eye on the changes on the battlefield.

Various spells flew towards the Japanese cultivators on the battlefield, and the Japanese cultivators were doing their best to resist the attack of the Great Xia cultivators.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, the Japanese cultivators retreated, and the Great Xia cultivators gave chase.

Soon the Japanese cultivators arrived on a large island. After landing, they chanted some strange incantations.

Upon seeing this, one of the cultivators on the flying boat in the sky changed his expression drastically.

"Oh no, they're making a sacrifice! They're summoning something! Retreat!"

However, it was already a bit too late when he spoke. The Japanese cultivators had already sacrificed themselves, and the entire island had been prepared with a magic array by them. With the sacrifice of the Japanese cultivators, the magic array was activated.

A terrifying sound came from within the magic circle.

"It's been so long since I've tasted the flavor of the Great Xia cultivators."

A giant snake with eight heads appeared from the magic array. This snake was merely an incense offering clone; its true form was in the upper realm.

"Yamata no Orochi, I never expected the Japanese Onmyoji to pull such a move. We have a tough battle to fight today. Let's see if we can get reinforcements. If not, we're afraid we'll be done for."

Although the Yamata no Orochi is only a wisp of incense offering, its cultivation level is very high, reaching the pinnacle of the human realm. It is beyond the capabilities of these people, and they cannot even escape.

The Yamata no Orochi appeared, and the Great Xia cultivators on the island had become its prey. The difference in their cultivation levels was too great, and they were no match for the Yamata no Orochi.

Now only a few cultivators remain on the flying boat. The eight-headed serpent shook its eight heads and said.

"Great Xia cultivators, why don't you obediently come down and become my food? Do I have to invite you down?"

It said that, but its tail was already lashing out at the airship.

Just then, a bolt of divine lightning struck down from the sky and hit its tail.

"The Yamata no Orochi, instead of staying in Japan, dares to come and devour cultivators from my Great Xia. It's really asking for trouble."

A Taoist priest dressed in a Taoist robe appeared on the flying boat.

The Taoist's cultivation was very high, almost reaching the limit of humanity. He cultivated thunder magic, which had a restraining effect on the Yamata no Orochi.

"Damn it, I didn't expect their support to arrive so quickly."

The Yamata no Orochi wanted to finish the battle quickly, devour the powerful cultivators on the flying boat, and then leave. However, it did not expect the stationed cultivators to arrive so swiftly.

The Yamata no Orochi, a cultivator in the air who knew thunder magic, sensed that it was no match for him, so it prepared to flee.

The Yamata no Orochi used its supernatural power and instantly disappeared from the island.

The Taoist priest standing on the flying boat seemed to know that it was going to escape. He took out eight divine talismans and threw them into the air. He chanted incantations and made hand seals. Eight divine lightning bolts as thick as arms appeared in the air and chased after the eight-headed serpent.

At that moment, the angry voice of the Yamata no Orochi came from afar.

"You despicable cultivator from the Great Xia Dynasty, you destroyed my divine body, I will take my revenge."

From Orochi's angry voice, it's clear that Orochi was struck by divine lightning and was seriously injured. It's just unknown how many heads it lost.

Zhou Yongcheng took a sip of monkey wine and looked at the Yamata no Orochi. Half of its incense-burning body had been destroyed by eight divine lightning bolts, and six of its heads had been removed, leaving only two. It was unknown how many years it would take to recover.

In Japan, the Yamata no Orochi is considered an evil god. It can enhance its power by devouring humans. Given the severe losses it suffered this time, it's unknown how many people in Japan will become its prey.

There are many pantheons in Japan. If other pantheons knew that the body of the Yamata no Orochi was damaged, they would be happy to eliminate the Yamata no Orochi and reduce the number of pantheons in Japan. It is just unknown whether they have the courage, since the true form of the Yamata no Orochi is still alive in the upper realm.

The great battle has ended. The Great Xia suffered a significant loss of cultivators, and the Japanese also suffered considerable losses. It can be said that both sides suffered heavy losses.

After watching the battle, Zhou Yongcheng returned to Longshou Mountain to continue teaching his disciples.

While teaching his disciples, Zhou Yongcheng also kept a close eye on the wars between neighboring countries and the Great Xia Dynasty.

Although the technological civilization of this world is similar to that of modern society, this world is a cultivation world, so firearms have no effect.

Whether it's the Great Xia or neighboring countries, their soldiers are basically martial artists at the Grandmaster level or above. The minimum cultivation level for a soldier is the Grandmaster level. Unless it's a particularly powerful firearm from a science fiction world, a martial artist who has reached the Grandmaster level is practically useless against a Grandmaster-level martial artist.

Therefore, wars in this world are still mostly fought with cold weapons.

Although they used cold weapons, their weapons were basically magical artifacts, and the destructive power of these artifacts was even greater than that of firearms in the science fiction world.

The countries in this world are basically controlled by pantheons, and they wage wars to seize believers and wipe out the followers of other pantheons.

Although the neighboring countries in the upper realm united to deal with the Eastern Heavenly Court, they secretly sent messages to the lower realm, encouraging them to expand their territory and recruit more believers. The more believers they had, the more faith power they could collect, and the stronger they became.
