The Blood Spirit Pearl in Lin Xiu\'s body began to flash with a red light. The power that originally belonged to the Scarlet Pearl brought Lin Xiu into a dream again.
Not long after the Jiangchu Dynasty unified the Central Plains, there were many things that needed to be done in the world, but the rare period of peace injected new vitality into the Jianghu.
The country was unfortunate, the poets were fortunate, the country was fortunate, and the Jianghu was fortunate.
Finally, 20 years after the Jiangchu Dynasty unified the Central Plains, the entire Jianghu ushered in a rare era!
Although there had always been rumors among the people that it was difficult to find a martial artist above grade 3 in the Jianghu. But at that time in the Jianghu, although Level 3 was rare, those famous sects would always have a Grandmaster overseeing the sect!
As for the even rarer grade 2 grandmasters, they were much rarer in the Jianghu. Other than He Yifan, the leader of the Wudang Mountain, who was the ancestor of Taoism, there was only Long Yingqin, the palace master of the Southern Dragon King Palace.
It was because of the strength of the country that Jiang Chu could be said to be unparalleled in the world. In terms of the cultivation of martial artists in the Jianghu, Jiang Chu, with two grade 2 grandmasters overseeing the martial artists of the surrounding grassland kingdoms, made the Qiang barbarians at the Jiangchu border not dare to act rashly for decades.
From this point, it could be said that the world was peaceful. Therefore, after Jiang Chu unified the Jianghu, the people under his rule were given a lot of preferential treatment. They were not like the previous dynasty, where they fought and killed the entire Jianghu. Even Immortal He of Wudang Mountain was conferred the title of State Preceptor by the emperor at that time.
But as time passed, even a grade 2 grandmaster couldn\'t avoid aging, illness, and death. After the two martial grandmasters passed away, although the Jianghu of the Jiangchu Dynasty had experienced a hundred years of prosperity and there were many grade 3 grandmasters, it was still difficult to find someone who could truly stand up to the Jianghu!
Although the imperial court was still powerful, the Qiang barbarians and the tribes in the northern grassland who had lost the deterrence of the strongest martial artists inevitably became restless.
They didn't dare to directly declare war on the Jiangchu Dynasty, but it was common for them to come to the border to make trouble.
For example, in the Northern Frontier that Ye Wang guarded, there were quite a few commoners who were plundered by the Qiang Tribe every year. The Qiang Tribe was located in the extreme cold of the north. The land was barren and did not produce much food. Everyone in the tribe, regardless of gender or age, was skilled at riding horses and archery. It could be said that they were law-abiding commoners off their horses, but once they were mounted, they were the most valiant and skilled cavalry!
What was worse was that a Grandmaster in the Northern Qiang Kingdom had broken through to the Second Level Grandmaster Realm sixty years ago. This Second Level Grandmaster happened to be the Northern Qiang Kingdom's Grand Marshal!
This caused the powerful Northern Qiang Kingdom to become even more unbridled. Under the instructions of the Northern Qiang Emperor, they were no longer satisfied with plundering from the Jiangchu border every year. Instead, they began to encroach on the Jiangchu Dynasty's territory with even greater ferocity.
By the time the Jiangchu imperial court reacted, the Northern Qiang had joined forces with a few other nomadic tribes at the Jiangchu border to invade the Jiangchu imperial court.
And just as this unprecedented war was about to reach its most critical juncture, a Confucian scholar appeared.
This Confucian scholar carried five swords on his back and was unstoppable wherever he went.
When he appeared in front of the Northern Qiang Kingdom's Grand Marshal, he alone broke through three thousand and six hundred units! A hole suddenly appeared beside him. The soldiers of the Jiangchu Dynasty had a huge morale boost when they saw this. In terms of top-notch martial artists, the Northern Qiang Kingdom's Martial Dao masters were far inferior to the Jiangchu Dynasty's. The reason why the war had reached a stalemate was that these Martial Dao masters were afraid of the Northern Qiang Kingdom's Grand Marshal.
Now that the Grand Marshal was being held up by the Confucian scholar who had appeared out of nowhere, the Jiangchu soldiers naturally had a spurt of energy and finally defeated the enemy!
After this battle, the Jiangchu Dynasty once again displayed their powerful military force to the surrounding kingdoms and tribes. Those who offend the Jiangchu Dynasty will be killed no matter how far away they are!
After the battle, the Northern Qiang Kingdom's Grand Marshal, who was in his prime, personally wrote a letter to Jiang Chu's Grand Council Minister Xiang Tianyu after the battle, stating that he would not easily start a war between the two dynasties within the next fifty years!
At that time, the Jiangchu Emperor knew that the reason why the war, which was later known as the Hongxing War (the era name of the Jiangchu Emperor was Hongxing), went so smoothly was definitely due to the Confucian scholar! Otherwise, even if Jiang Chu could win against the allied forces of Northern Qiang and Southern Barbarians, they would have to pay a heavy price. Such an outcome was naturally something that the Jiangchu Dynasty was unwilling to accept.
Later on, the Hongxing Emperor, Zhao Wu, sent someone to find the Confucian scholar in a temple and wanted to confer him the title of Imperial Protector.
However, the Confucian scholar chose to become a monk and was unwilling to commit any more crimes.
Zhao Wu had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. He made an agreement with the Confucian scholar that if the Northern Qiang Kingdom invaded again fifty years later and Jiang Chu did not have a new Second Grade Great Grandmaster, the Confucian scholar would fight for Jiang Chu again!
Thirty years later, the Confucian scholar, who had also achieved great success in Buddhism, picked up a baby before he switched to Taoism.
The compassionate Confucian scholar could not bear to see the baby suffer, so he took the baby as his disciple. At the same time, he imparted all of his Buddhism cultivation to the baby.
However, as the baby slowly grew up, even though the baby was living with the Confucian scholar who had once again turned to Daoism and was not afraid of food, and was even fond of meat, he just couldn't bear to see blood. Usually, he didn't even dare to hurt an ant.
The old Taoist knew that in the eyes of his disciple, since the animals were dead, the so-called flesh was just an empty shell. Therefore, he was not afraid to eat meat or vegetables. But if he were to really kill, his disciple would never do such a thing.
More than half of the fifty years had passed, but at the old Taoist's level, whether it was the so-called Jiangchu Dynasty or the Northern Qiang or the Southern Barbarians, they were all equal living beings in this world. How could he be willing to do anything that would harm living beings?
Even when he stopped Jiang Chu from going to war with the Northern Qiang a few decades ago, although he was able to destroy thousands of soldiers with a single breath, he deliberately controlled himself and did not kill a single soldier.
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, the old Taoist could only travel around the world with his disciple, hoping to meet a few good seedlings and accept them as his disciples, so that the fifty years agreement would not be delayed.
Ye Fan and Ye Chen were the new disciples of the old Taoist. He taught them Taoism Mysterious Skills and Confucian Sword Skills according to their roots.
However, although Ye Fan had good comprehension, she was too stubborn. This was also the reason why the old Taoist asked her to sharpen the iron rod. As for Ye Chen, he was a child that the old Taoist brought out from a casino. In the past five years, not only did Ye Chen not get rid of his gambling addiction, he became even more obsessed with it.
The old Taoist could see through these three disciples of his. Since their nature was like this, he would not force them.
But this way, he had to fulfill a promise from a long time ago …
…
Looking at the determined Ye Wang in front of him, Daoist Kong Zhun's thoughts seemed to have returned to several decades ago. He slowly shook his head and finally opened his mouth to say, "Ye Wang, if you become my disciple, you must leave the mountain and join Jiang Chu's army three years later. Are you willing or not?"
Hearing this, Ye Wang was overjoyed. He was a general of the Jiangchu Dynasty, and it was his duty to return to the battlefield at the border to kill enemies. Now that Taoist Kong Zhun's words were exactly what he wanted, how could he refuse?
"I am willing to leave the mountain three years later." Ye Wang hurriedly replied.
As expected, as expected. Taoist Kong Zhun could not help but sigh in his heart.
"Xuan Kong, bring your little Junior Brother around to familiarize himself with the environment. Three days later, bring him to the top of the mountain to find me." After lightly instructing his eldest disciple, Taoist Kong Zhun's figure gradually disappeared before their eyes.
… … …
At this moment, Lin Xiu seemed to have really turned into that Ye Wang. He trained diligently every day, hoping to break through as soon as possible and reach the realm of Grade 2 Great Grandmaster.
Only like this, could he return to the battlefield and solve the Jiangchu Dynasty's current crisis.
His few Senior Brothers were also not to be underestimated. Xuan Kong's Dharma had seen through the past and present, and was filled with a compassionate aura, like a true Buddha. Ye Fan was adept at using the sword. Once he used his sword technique, no one dared to disobey him, but Ye Chen made Lin Xiu feel a little unfathomable.
Ye Chen was really too different. Sometimes, he would argue with the other Senior Brothers over trivial matters, but sometimes, he would act as if he did not care about anything, causing others to be secretly amazed.
For some reason, Lin Xiu suddenly thought of his Master, Wu Kejun. The scene before him was so similar to his Senior Brothers. However, before he could think carefully, the consciousness that belonged to Ye Wang started a new round of training.
The lower the river, the more the Qiang flute interferes with the rivers and mountains. In order to obtain strength and achieve the greatest breakthrough, Ye Wang chose a path that was different from the other Senior Brothers.
He wanted to start with the power of Qi and Blood. Relying on his status as a general who had fought on the battlefield, he wanted to enter the Dao through killing. Only like this could he make an earth-shattering change in his cultivation in an extremely short period of time.
Only like this could he rush down the mountain and destroy the Jiangchu Dynasty's disadvantage.
Time flew by slowly. In these three years, Lin Xiu seemed to have transformed into Ye Wang. Happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy, the two of them became exactly the same.
His heart was filled with anxiety. He wanted to reach the realm of Grade 2 Great Grandmaster, but time waited for no one. The Jiangchu Dynasty was in danger. If he could not successfully break through, who knew how many people would lose their homes.
In the end, Ye Wang, or Lin Xiu, found Daoist Kong Zhun and wanted to get some pointers from his Master.
Daoist Kong Zhun also understood his disciple's intention. He did not say much and only led the way in front quietly.
Ye Wang followed Daoist Kong Zhun's footsteps and came to the side of a pool.
"There is actually a vastness in heaven and earth that you cannot understand. For example, how many worlds exist in this heaven and earth? For example, is it impossible to advance after one's cultivation reaches Grade 1? Ye Wang, I understand that you are burning with anxiety, but you must know that all effort and effort must be proportional. The Heavenly Dao is fair. It cannot change the situation of the outside world just because of your thoughts. "
Daoist Kong Zhun, who was dressed in snow-white clothes, said words that made Ye Wang and Lin Xiu completely confused.
"Foolish child, you can't even understand such a simple principle." Daoist Kong Zhun sighed silently, then revealed a hint of pity in his eyes.
"It's not that there's no way for you to fight for the Jiangchu Dynasty. However, if you die in the future, I'm afraid you'll have to return all of your cultivation. Are you willing to do so?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiu's heart skipped a beat. He faintly seemed to have grasped some extremely important information. However, when the words reached his mouth, he said, "I'm willing, I'm willing. As long as I can save the people from disaster and see the people of the world live and work in peace, I will not hesitate to pay any price."
Daoist Kong Zhun waved his sleeve, and the originally calm pool instantly turned into a pool of blood. The power of Qi and blood that made one's heart tremble flowed in it.
"If you can completely absorb this power of Qi and blood into your body, then you will have the strength to rival a Grade 2 Great Grandmaster." Daoist Kong Zhun's words contained unconcealable regret and heartache.
However, Ye Wang, who was anxious to obtain a breakthrough, did not notice this. Instead, it was Lin Xiu who saw everything clearly.
He already understood that Ye Wang's strength had increased by leaps and bounds through this method. However, Daoist Kong Zhun had warned him before that everything had a cause and effect. In the end, he still had to return all of it.
At this time, the truth of the mysterious Scarlet Pearl's origin was finally revealed.
Lin Xiu's consciousness also gradually separated from Ye Wang. It was as if the Blood Spirit Pearl only wanted to lead Lin Xiu here, to see the truth of what had happened.
His consciousness gradually left this world, but Lin Xiu still had many doubts in his heart.
Daoist Kong Zhun had said before that there might be countless worlds under the starry sky, with many cultivation systems. Sometimes, what they thought to be the peak of cultivation, in another world, might only be the beginning.
Everything that happened in front of him seemed to prove his words. Lin Xiu did not have the slightest impression of the Jiangchu Dynasty in his mind. The division of those realms was also completely different from the Immortal Martial Continent.
But if this was the truth, then how could the Wangjiang Sword in his hand, which he obtained from Sword Immortal Ye Fan, be explained?
Lin Xiu faintly understood that he seemed to be in an incomparably complicated situation. In this chess game, everything made people yearn for, and everything made people feel fear.
Before he could continue thinking, he suddenly felt a wave of dizziness, and his figure completely disappeared from this world.
