After moving for a while, Sei Itō quickly walked out of the forest and came to a dirt road that looked like an official road. Coincidentally, at this moment, there was a group of carriages with two flags in front of them. They were surrounded by dozens of men with sharp eyes and bulging temples. It was obvious that they were martial arts experts. The carriages quickly approached him, dragging a large cloud of dust as they moved forward.
Sei Itō raised his eyebrows and slowly walked to the middle of the official road. He turned around with his hands behind his back and looked at the caravan that was less than a hundred steps away from him with a leisurely expression, as if he was not afraid of death.
"Stop!" The leader of the caravan, who was already on guard against Sei Itō's sudden appearance on the official road, raised his arm and shouted in a deep voice.
Almost immediately after the order was given, the caravan stopped 30 steps away from Sei Itō amidst the sound of horses neighing. Every one of them held a sword, a long sword, or some other strange weapons, and looked at Sei Itō with a condensed aura.
"Strict obedience! Looks like we've run into a caravan from some big faction. "Sei Itō narrowed his eyes and thought to himself.
"A caravan from the Baling Gang. I am the leader, Lu Biao. May I know who you are and why you're blocking our way? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?" The strong man in his thirties named Lu Biao lightly kicked his horse's belly and urged it to move forward a few steps. He looked down at Sei Itō, who was dressed strangely but had an extraordinary aura and temperament, and shouted in a deep voice.
"A caravan from the Baling Gang? So, I am now in the territory of Hunan Province in the future? "Ito Sei's heart moved when he heard this, and he secretly inferred.
"Lu Biao, right? As long as you answer a few of my questions, I'll leave," Sei Itō said calmly.
"Please." Lu Biao nodded slightly in response.
"Where is this place? What year is it?" Sei Itō asked loudly.
"This place is near Jiujiang, located in the southwest. It's about eighty miles away from Jiujiang City." Lu Biao looked at Sei Itō in surprise and answered truthfully, "It's now the ninth day of the third lunar month in the 13th year of the Daye Dynasty."
"In the third month of the thirteenth year of the Great Cause. According to history, Yang Guang died in the third month of the 14th year. According to this timeline, the whole story hasn't started yet, or is it about to start … "Sei Itō thought to himself.
"Thank you for telling me." Sei Itō cupped his fists and returned the greeting. Then, he turned around and used the Daoist technique to fly toward Jiujiang City.
"An expert! When did such a young expert appear in Jianghu? "Lu Biao's pupils shrank as he watched Sei Itō's movements. He was shocked.
"Boss Lu," one of his subordinates called out when he saw Lu Biao frown in deep thought.
"Let's go!" Lu Biao came back to his senses and organized his thoughts. He raised his hand and gave the order.
In the next moment, as the caravan moved, a large cloud of dust rose from the yellow official road. It followed the caravan toward Jiujiang City.
Although the caravan was fast, Sei Itō, who used the Daoist technique, was even faster. It only took him an hour. Sei Itō successfully arrived at Jiujiang City in this world. He ignored the strange looks that people gave him and swaggered into Jiujiang City.
Then, Ito Sei stopped a random passerby and asked for the location of the largest clothing store in Jiujiang City. He then walked over.
"Shopkeeper, give me the best clothes you have here." Ito Sei, who walked into the clothing store, said in a low voice.
"Okay, please wait a moment!" the shopkeeper said. His face immediately piled up a warm smile as if he had seen a relative. His eyes flashed as he said loudly. Then he turned around and took a light green shirt and a pair of trousers from the clothes rack on the side and handed them to Ito Sei.
"Sir, what do you think of this set? It's made from high quality Shu Silk. Not only will it not rub against your body like normal silk, it's also breathable and comfortable. It will definitely meet your requirements, "the shopkeeper said.
"Mhm. It's not bad, "Sei Itō rubbed the fabric and nodded." How much is it? "
"Thirteen yuan," the shopkeeper said with a smile.
Ito Sei knew that clothes made of high-quality materials were absolute luxury goods in this era, so he didn't say anything. He directly took out a small golden bean and threw it to the shopkeeper. After that, he picked up the trousers and green shirt and walked into the dressing room on the side under the guidance of the shopkeeper.
Sei Itō, who was used to wearing this kind of ancient clothing in the world of the Demon Sect's Heavenly Sword and Dragon Sabre, did not feel numb at all. He quickly put on the green shirt and walked out of the changing room.
"You really are a fine young master in this chaotic world," the shopkeeper praised.
It wasn't that he was going against his will. Even though Sei Itō's hair was short and was not suitable for this kind of ancient clothing, his temperament was very good, and it covered up this strange feeling. To a certain extent, it highlighted his unique charm, making people have a good impression of him at first glance.
Sei Itō ignored the shopkeeper's praise and took the silver he handed over. He slowly walked out of the clothing store, mixed into the crowd, and continued to move in the direction of Yangzhou City.
Even though the vegetation in this world was dense and there were vast forests between the cities, making it easy for people to get lost in the forest, Sei Itō asked passersby to confirm the direction. After a few days, he smoothly arrived in front of the most prosperous city in this world — — Yangzhou City.
"Mhm? What a strict inspection. Could it be that I came at the right time for the start of the plot? "Sei Itō thought as he slowly walked toward the Yangzhou City gate filled with merchants and farmers waiting to be inspected.
Thinking of this, Sei Itō, who had already arrived in front of the gate, directly released his mental energy and formed a large area illusion around him. In everyone's eyes, it was as if he was transparent. He was like a fish swimming through the gaps between the merchants, farmers, and guards.
"A city-wide search … has already begun." After a while, he saw two groups of soldiers searching the streets. Sei Itō confirmed, "If that's the case, let's go to the dark pool next to the east gate and wait for them."
After thinking, Sei Itō turned around and walked toward the east gate of Yangzhou City.
The so-called east gate dark channel was a large channel used to transport the city's filth and garbage. It originally existed as Yangzhou City's drainage system, but because the surrounding residents had piled up filth for many years, it became an extremely filthy channel. It was a rotten and smelly channel.
Itō Sei, who was still far away, already smelled the nauseating stench, knitted his brows and immediately stopped his steps. Using his telekinesis, he formed an air barrier under his nose, and then he flashed to the side of a tall tree and sat down cross-legged, waiting for the real protagonists of this world — Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.
Sei Itō did not have to wait for too long. Around half past one in the afternoon, when it was almost two o 'clock, the two of them were about fourteen or fifteen years old. But in this era, the ragged teenager, who could be considered an adult, ran out of an alley with a sneaky expression. After making sure that there was no one around, he gritted his teeth and jumped into the smelly channel with a determined look on his face. He quickly swam out of the city.
Sei Itō, who had successfully used his mental energy to lock onto the two people, smiled faintly. He stood up from the tree branch and jumped to the side of the city wall. In just a few jumps, he arrived at the top of the city wall. He flipped over the city wall and landed lightly on the ground. Then, he leisurely chased after the two dragons, who were still hiding under the dark channel, toward the forest in the distance.
A moment later, the two dragons came to a small stream. They put down the things wrapped in oiled paper in their hands on a protruding rock beside them. They took off their clothes without any warning and jumped into the stream beside them. Their expressions were cheerful as they washed up. But the two of them did not notice that on the other side of the stream, a tall and beautiful woman wearing a bamboo hat and snow-white clothes was standing there.
"The beautiful woman who appeared first – Fu Junzhuo, huh?" Sei Itō, who was hiding in the dark, looked at the woman in white not far away with interest. He thought to himself, "Let me see what kind of beauty that enchanted Song Shidao is like."
What happened next was the same as the original. Fu Junzhuo used force to pressure him and asked him why there was a sudden change in Yangzhou City, causing the city gates to close and the soldiers to lock the streets. The two dragons answered with a mouth full of nonsense, casually making up a reason to temporarily fool Fu Junzhuo.
Sei Itō, who only paid attention to this, lowered his head and thought about how he should deal with the two dragons, who were the children of destiny of this world.
"Should I kill them? Or should I just let them be, or should I just trick them into being my subordinates and help me usurp the sovereignty of this world? "Sei Itō thought to himself.
"It's easy to kill them. The direct benefit is a huge amount of the world's power, but the disadvantage is that the changes in the world itself are too uncertain. I have to choose a new child of destiny. Or should I just throw all the favor to that guy Li Shimin and let him complete the [Dragon Transformation] faster? It's hard to say. "
"If I just let them be, although I won't get much of the world's power, I can still make a lot of money by following them to destroy the plot. The disadvantages are also relatively less. "
"As for keeping them by my side … these two guys are still uncertain. They haven't reached the tolerance and courage they had when they were in the Young Commander's army. They need time to cultivate, but there are more variables, so it's not easy to choose."
Sei Itō thought silently between the three choices.
"Forget it, I'll let them be for a while. It won't be too late to deal with them after I've settled things here!" When Fu Junzhuo was about to finish her question, Sei Itō decided to let the two dragons be for the time being.
"But the Art of Long Life is a good thing. I should get it and study it." Then, Sei Itō chuckled. Then, he flashed out and appeared in front of Fu Junzhuo and the two dragons, whose aura was thin.
"Who are you?" Fu Junzhuo asked in a delicate voice.
"I'm a wanderer." Sei Itō laughed strangely and sized up Fu Junzhuo with a gaze that seemed to be able to see through her clothes. At the same time, he waved his hand, and the Art of Long Life, which had just returned to Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's hands, immediately flew into Sei Itō's hand, and he gently pinched it.
Looking at Ito Sei's method of controlling Qi, Fu Junzhuo, whose face was hidden behind the veil on the edge of the bamboo hat, narrowed his eyes and his heart couldn't help but sink.
"An expert!"
"My book!" Xu Ziling cried out.
"You two sure have good luck. You even managed to get your hands on one of the Four Great Secret Records, the Art of Long Life. As expected, your luck is profound." Sei Itō took off the oiled paper wrapped around the Art of Long Life. He fiddled with the thin book, which seemed to be made of gold, wood, and silk.
"Four Great Secret Records?" Kou Zhong, who was naturally bold, asked curiously.
When she heard Kou Zhong's question, Fu Junzhuo, who was on guard all over, quietly perked up her ears and listened attentively.
"The Taoist Art of Long Life, the Demonic Sect's secret Book of Heavenly Demon, the Compassionate Xing Jing Zhai's sword manual, and the War God Catalog hidden in an unknown space in the desert beyond the Great Wall. If you learn any one of these four books, you will have a chance to break through the void and reach Heaven Realm," Sei Itō said faintly while flipping through the Art of Long Life in his hand.
"Hmph." As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Junzhuo snorted coldly. Clearly, as the disciple of Fu Cailin, one of the Three Great Grandmasters, he scoffed at the Four Great Secret Records and the theory that one could break through the void by learning them.
"Of course, this is only if the person who learns them is outstanding enough and doesn't get the incomplete version." Sei Itō looked up at Fu Junzhuo with a faint smile and continued, "Due to the different philosophies of the Demonic Sect, the Book of Heavenly Demon has been scattered into many volumes. Aside from being able to cultivate super-class or even grandmaster experts, there is basically no hope of breaking through the void. But there are exceptions. The Dao Heart Seed Demon Great Technique is a martial art manual that still exists, and some people have already mastered it and broken through the void!"
"The sword manual is just a trick. It's fine if you don't learn it!"
"Although the War God Catalog is complete and has the miraculous ability to help people break through the void, because it is hidden in the outer space, you can't find it without great luck, so it can be eliminated."
"There is only the Art of Long Life. As long as you learn it well, breaking through the void is not an illusion!" Sei Itō said as he closed the Art of Long Life in his hand.
The Art of Long Life had a total of seven pictures. If it weren't for Sei Itō wanting to see the oracle bone inscriptions inside, Sei Itō would have been able to see through it in less than a minute.
"So this is the Art of Long Life …" Sei Itō suddenly understood after reading the Art of Long Life.
The so-called Art of Long Life was summarized by the legendary Guang Chengzi. It could allow one to connect with the essence of heaven and earth and open the seven keys to the treasury in one's body without being limited by one's aptitude. They were respectively described by the Taoist concept of yin, yang, and five elements. According to the original situation of the Twin Dragons' cultivation, it was clearly the water element and the fire element.
"Doesn't that mean that as long as the two of us practice the martial arts in the book, we can immediately become great experts?" Kou Zhong asked excitedly.
"Humph, which martial artist didn't start building the foundation from a young age to have any achievements? If you start practicing martial arts at your age, without great luck, you can only be a third-rate martial artist for the rest of your life, or even not enter the mainstream," Fu Junzhuo sneered.
"That's why I said they have great luck." Sei Itō looked at Fu Junzhuo and laughed strangely.
