God Weird Fairy

Chapter 440 Luo Wuji

For the past two weeks, Nan Yi has been in seclusion refining weapons, while Dian Dian has been busy writing furiously.

Besides updating "True Martial Arts Couple", he is also working on the final polishing and editing of "The Legend of the Twin Dragons of Da Li" and making revisions and adjustments to "The Blood-Soaked Swordsman".

The revisions and editing of "The Legend of the Twin Dragons of Dali" mainly involved adjustments to some character names and plot details, with occasional foreshadowing. Overall, the changes were minor and the revised version has been delivered to the Luo family for printing.

Subsequently, if the powerful family behind Shi Luofu, the envoy of Kan Dynasty, is unable to open up the Kan Dynasty market for novels when Nan Yi travels north to Kan Dynasty, Nan Yi will need to devise other plans.

As for "The Bloodstained Swordsman", the revisions mainly focused on the ending of the first draft.

Now, Luo Wuji has joined Nan Yi's ranks and become a source martial artist, belonging to one of their own.

Although the overall direction is unlikely to change due to the established main plot, the details, especially the ending, can still be salvaged to some extent, while also connecting with Luo Wuji's subsequent move to Zhen Dynasty.

In short, it's about putting Zhao Kuangyin's template on Zhang Wuji, strengthening his political acumen and cunning, and changing his final retirement ending to him going to another place to lie low and grow stronger.

After the battle at Shaoshi Mountain, Zhang Wuji outwardly reconciled with the six major sects, but in reality, he used the opportunity to retaliate against them. Whenever there was a tough battle, he would order the six major sects to charge ahead.

Kongxing and Kongzhi of Shaolin, He Taichong and his wife of Kunlun, and others died in battle on different battlefields.

The two elders of Mount Hua, who had a grudge against Xianyu Tong, were also executed by Zhang Wuji for "failing to provide adequate support" and missing the opportunity to fight.

Echoing Zhao Kuangyin's transitional tactic of establishing Emperor Gong before usurping the throne, Zhang Wuji at this time supports Han Lin'er as a puppet leader of the sect, calling himself the deputy envoy, but in reality, he is the supreme leader of the sect.

After he relieved Zhu Yuanzhang of his military power with a cup of wine, forcing him to resign, he enjoyed unparalleled power and even launched a counterattack against the Mongol army, briefly regaining lost territory.

However, his ruthless and vengeful nature became well-known, causing martial arts figures to gradually leave, leaving only the Ming Cult's own forces, namely Yang Kang's descendant Yang Potian's forces, to face the Mongol Yuan's retaliation alone, ultimately resulting in a disastrous defeat in Bianliang.

After Zhu Yuanzhang moved around the Jianghuai region and took over the power of Guo Zixing, a descendant of Guo Jing, he not only regrouped but also expanded his influence in all directions and rose to prominence again while Zhang Wuji was holding back the Mongol Yuan dynasty.

When Zhang Wuji was defeated and fled to Anfeng, he was rescued by Zhu Yuanzhang's men. He finally realized that his ability to manage people was far inferior to Zhu Yuanzhang's. He then admitted defeat, handed over the Ming Cult, and went to the Western Regions to hone his martial arts skills.

Of course, in the novel "The Bloodstained Swordsman", the Western Regions were changed by Nan Yi to the Eastern Plains Zhen Dynasty.

Nan Yi used his divine sense to quickly review the changes and, after confirming that there were no issues with the modifications, handed it over to Luo Wuji.

"A small number of sample copies of the new book will be printed first. After you go to Zhenchao, you can conduct an on-site inspection and evaluation to see if there are any plot adjustments that need to be made. However, there is another matter that requires your attention."

Nan Yi flipped his hand and took out a jade bead.

When he had the assassin Cao Sheng sacrifice himself for "scientific research" and assist in the analysis of fighting spirit, Cao Sheng once tried to follow the example of his predecessor and use the Nether Spider's innate divine power "Spider Silk Linking Traces" to transfer his soul and possess the Nether Spider.

However, under Nan Yi's watchful eye, Cao Sheng would naturally not be given the chance to transfer his soul.

He intercepted the soul, casually stuffed in a jade bead, and discovered the existence of the Nether Spider and its web through the mysterious connection.

Nan Yi was very interested in the spider web.

He had long wanted to devise a method of spiritual transfer to facilitate the transfer of items between himself and his warriors, much like the master of the bathroom in his previous life had established an item exchange and delivery platform in the Martial Spirit Realm.

However, such methods were clearly beyond the reach of those at the Yellow Rank. Nan Yi was completely clueless and had no idea how to proceed.

But now, seeing the spider web built by his fellow villagers in the Eastern Plains Xuanzong, Nan Yi's eyes lit up.

As the leader of Yiwu, he had also studied in Yiwu in his previous life. If he could study the Nether Spider Web and find the key clues, he might be able to figure out a similar, lower-level method.

However, the Nether Spider that Cao Sheng contracted resides in the underworld, not in the mortal realm.

Nan Yi couldn't retrieve it from the underworld, so he couldn't study the Nether Spider Web. "The pearl contains the soul of the assassin Cao Sheng. Previously, he wanted to transfer his soul to the Nether Spider he had a contract with."

"And this Nether Spider is quite mysterious. There are even senior masters who, based on the Nether Spider's supernatural powers, created the 'Nether Spider Web,' which can be described as all-encompassing."

"I wish to learn from his methods, but I regret that I do not have a Dark Spider, so I have no way to start."

"Once Brother Luo has gone to Zhenchao and established himself, he may be able to purchase a batch of Nether Spiders and find a way to send them back to Lijing."

"As for the Limitless True Qi..." Nan Yi paused, then smiled and said, "I wish Brother Luo a speedy success in establishing a martial arts lineage within the Zhen Dynasty and passing on his teachings."

With sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, Luo Wuji replied with great spirit, "I will certainly not disappoint the Alliance Leader."

Luo Wuji's conversion to Ningyuan Xingjun's lineage makes it unsuitable for him to remain within the territory of Li Dynasty for an extended period.

However, he needed to familiarize himself with the Limitless True Qi, and Nan Yi would also be heading north to Kan Dynasty soon after leaving the capital, so he waited a while longer in the capital to see what Nan Yi's plans were.

Now that Nan Yi has made the arrangements, Luo Wuji can prepare to set off for Zhen Dynasty.

Deep within his eyes, it was as if a flame was burning.

His grandfather, Luo Su, the head of the Luo family, once told him very bluntly: "The Luo family's path is a dead end. If you want to live, go and try to pass the inheritance trial of Ning Yuan Xingjun, or find another Xingjun's inheritance and change your allegiance."

"The Ningyuan Trial may be fatal. Your father, Qingshan, perished here. You may not be able to obtain the Ningyuan inheritance either."

"But you have no choice. Either fight and struggle to obtain the Star Lord's inheritance and break free from the Luo family's confinement; or take the position of Master and sit on the Luo family's ancestral table."

Luo Wuji made the same choice as his father, Luo Qingshan, to attempt the inheritance trial of Ningyuan Xingjun.

The worst outcome of venturing into the Star Lord's trial is death.

Compared to following the established path to the position of Master, it's merely a matter of dying sooner or later.

Luo Wuji had no intention of living a life of mere survival for a hundred years. He disregarded life and death and resolutely challenged the Ningyuan Trial. In the end, he successfully obtained the inheritance and switched to the Ningyuan Star Lord's lineage.

As a result, he told his grandfather the news, but after Luo Su pondered for a while, he actually asked him to devote himself to the martial arts of true qi and take charge of a lineage of true qi techniques.

Fortunately, Luo Su's reasoning convinced him: "First there was Su Guang, the former Vice Minister of Commerce, who suddenly switched to the Xuanhuang Star Lord's lineage; then there was Ru Fu, who suddenly seized the Ningyuan lineage."

"On a grander scale, perhaps a celestial being placed a bet on Nan Yi, which explains this coincidence."

"To put it simply, the True Qi Martial Path he has pioneered is far from perfect; it is a new path. Even if you devote yourself to it and become a protector of the True Qi Martial Path, you will still have to forge your own path. In other words, you are merely becoming Daoist friends with Nan Yi and progressing together, rather than following in his footsteps."

"Furthermore, Lord Ningyuan has never valued inheritance. Although you have now acquired Ningyuan's inheritance, it is by no means for you to blindly follow and cultivate it."

"Therefore, in my opinion, you should devote yourself to the true qi martial arts, protect it, and together open up a new path."

Luo Wuji agreed, and as Luo Su had said, Ren Yuanwu would take charge of the lineage of Wuji True Qi.

But in his heart, there was always a fire burning.

He will definitely find his own path!
