All realms have enabled me to achieve the Great Dao.

Chapter 333 The Song Dynasty

But today, he finally met a martial artist at the Grandmaster level or above.

Yang Xiuchang added, "The only realm I know above the Grandmaster realm is the Divine Intent Realm."

"Master, are there only three realms in martial arts? Are there any realms above the Divine Intent Realm?"

"What do you care if there are three or four realms in martial arts? You can't even understand the initial internal energy realm, yet you want to know about higher martial arts realms? Knowing too much won't do you any good," Yang Xiuchang said, glancing at Qiao Daifu.

He had learned some things about martial arts from his old friends over the years.

His old friend is a big name in the field of archaeology, and sometimes when his friend goes on archaeological expeditions, he asks him for help.

His old friend asked him for help because he wanted him to deal with the monster in the tomb.

With the progress of archaeology in recent years, a lot of information has been unearthed from various ancient tombs.

Yang Xiuchang's old friend told him about information related to martial arts.

Based on the compilation of materials from various eras, there are differences between the realm of martial arts in ancient times and the realm of martial arts in modern times.

In particular, martial artists in ancient times seemed to be very strong, so strong that they were comparable to immortals.

Martial artists are comparable to immortals; it's unimaginable just how strong they are.

As time went by, martial arts practitioners gradually declined. In modern times, martial arts practitioners are not comparable to immortals, but ordinary people who hold the truth can defeat them.

The two, master and apprentice, chatted for a while and then returned home.

After Zhou Yongcheng and the other two left, he waved his hand and unleashed several laws. The laws rushed towards the River of Time and Space, and in the Song Dynasty period upstream of the River of Time and Space, a portal to time and space condensed.

The portal detached from the River of Time and appeared next to the portal of the Great Ming Dynasty.

In the office of Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty, a portal to another time and space appeared.

Not long after Zhao Kuangyin became emperor, he was thinking about how to deal with the generals who supported him in becoming emperor, as each of them held military power.

He became emperor because he had military power and was supported by his subordinates.

What if one day the general's subordinates do the same thing?

The more Zhao Kuangyin thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He didn't know how to deal with those generals who held significant military power.

Kill them outright? Definitely not. Place them under house arrest? Even worse.

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Kuangyin really couldn't come up with a good solution. He decided to discuss it with his advisors one day and see what suggestions they had.

He rubbed his temples, looked up, and sensed something was wrong; when had another door appeared in the room?

Looking at the mysterious doorway inside the room, Zhao Kuangyin got up and slowly walked towards it.

He carefully examined the mysterious, glowing portal. It was covered with many mysterious patterns, but inside it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.

The portal was too mysterious; he didn't know what was on the other side.

Zhao Kuangyin called out to the door, "Someone, go and summon the Imperial Advisor."

A short while later, an old Taoist priest arrived at Zhao Kuangyin's office.

Zhao Kuangyin sat at his desk, watching the Imperial Preceptor pass through the mysterious portal and arrive at his desk.

Zhang Shouzhen bowed to Zhao Kuangyin and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty. May I ask what Your Majesty has commanded me?"

Zhao Kuangyin didn't know how to explain it, but the mysterious portal was inside the house, and you could see it as soon as you entered.

Judging from the state of the Imperial Advisor, he had not discovered the existence of the mysterious portal at all.

Moreover, the fact that the Imperial Advisor passed directly through the mysterious portal indicates that the portal is not a physical object, which makes it impossible for Zhao Kuangyin to discuss this with the Imperial Advisor.

"I didn't summon the Imperial Advisor for any particular reason, I just wanted to ask what his opinion is on people from the martial arts world," Zhao Kuangyin said casually, finding a pretext.

Recently, many memorials have focused on the troubles caused by people from the martial arts world.

The air energy was more concentrated in the early Song Dynasty than in the Ming Dynasty, so there were naturally more martial artists, and more powerful ones at that.

In the Song Dynasty, the martial arts realm had one more level than in modern times; the fourth level was the Transformation Realm.

In modern times, the most powerful martial artists are at the Grandmaster level; the Divine Intent level is merely a legend.

During the Song Dynasty, there were martial artists at the Transformation Realm, but they were extremely rare, numbering only a handful. Most of the martial artists who reached the Transformation Realm had been cultivating since the Tang Dynasty and continued until the Song Dynasty.

Martial artists love freedom and are unrestrained. They believe in roaming the world with their swords and enjoy meddling in other people's business and fighting for justice.

Therefore, the imperial court naturally did not have a high regard for people from the martial arts world.

"It is indeed difficult to manage people from the martial arts world. They are lone wolves, not bound by the imperial court, nor managed by any sect. Does Your Majesty intend to clean up the martial arts world?" the Imperial Advisor inquired.

"It's not a matter of cleanup. There's no rush for things in the martial arts world. We'll deal with it after the court is stable. At that time, we'll need the Imperial Preceptor's help."

He had only recently established the Song Dynasty, and the court was not yet very stable. At the same time, he was worried that his subordinates might follow his example and seize the throne. Therefore, cleaning up the Jianghu (江湖, the martial arts world) was not the most important thing at the moment.

"As the Imperial Preceptor of the Song Dynasty, I naturally have to share the Emperor's burdens."

The two chatted for a while, and seeing that the emperor had nothing else to do, the imperial advisor left the office.

After the imperial advisor left, Zhao Kuangyin got up again and walked to the mysterious portal. This portal was so magical that it seemed to be nothingness, but it was there. Others could not see it, only he could see it.

After browsing the relevant portals for a while, someone outside requested an audience.

Zhao Kuangyin then received the person who had requested an audience.

After everyone left, Zhao Kuangyin prepared to test whether he could actually enter this mysterious portal.

Previously, the Imperial Advisor entered directly through the mysterious portal, but it's unknown whether he also passed through the portal directly like the Imperial Advisor.

Zhao Kuangyin channeled his inner energy, forming a protective shield around his body, and stepped into the mysterious portal.

As an emperor, Zhao Kuangyin was also a martial artist, and his martial arts level had reached the second level of the Grandmaster Realm.

The Grandmaster realm is divided into three levels: the True Qi Realm, the True Essence Realm, and the Intent Realm.

True Qi Realm is a higher level of Qi formed after the transformation of internal Qi within the body; it is called True Qi.

The True Essence Realm is a higher level of energy formed after the transformation of True Qi, which is called True Essence.

The artistic conception has already reached the spiritual level, and is a preliminary application of the divine.

Zhao Kuangyin passed through the gate and arrived at Zhou Yongcheng's courtyard.

He looked around warily, fearing that someone might suddenly attack him.

The surroundings were quiet, as if no one was there.

"Since you're here, let's have a chat."

Zhou Yongcheng's voice entered Zhao Kuangyin's mind.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Kuangyin walked straight towards the pavilion.

Upon arriving at the pavilion, Zhao Kuangyin saw Zhou Yongcheng.

"I wonder what your purpose is in bringing me here?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.

That gate must have been the work of this Taoist priest; it's just a mystery what purpose he had in bringing him here.

"If there's nothing else, why don't you sit down and chat?" Zhou Yongcheng said, pointing to the chair next to him.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't stand on ceremony and sat down in the chair next to him.

With a wave of his hand, Zhou Yongcheng placed a pot of tea and a cup on the table next to Zhao Kuangyin.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Kuangyin's pupils contracted. Was it teleportation? Or creation of objects from the void? Regardless of the method, it was not something an ordinary martial artist possessed.

Thinking of that mysterious portal, could this mysterious Taoist priest in front of me be a legendary immortal?
