Shared Talent: Traveling through a hundred worlds simultaneously

"You military strategists are already in such a sorry state, yet you're still so picky. I'm so outstanding, yet you don't even look at me. Aren't your standards too high?"

Su Chen joked, "In this world, three families dominate. It seems that your military school is being suppressed by these three families. If you don't absorb such excellent fresh blood as me, aren't you afraid that your lineage will be suppressed?"

The military strategist was about to vomit blood when this brat said something.
If it were any other junior with such high talent, these old strategists would have been alarmed long ago and kept it hidden from the public.

Seriously, whoever opposes them as military strategists? They'll fight to the death with anyone, even if it means starting another war like the one they fought back then, turning the world upside down.

The war of that time was about to be dispersed from the Heavenly Court to the mortal world, with the gods taking control of the human world and manipulating all living beings.

In that battle, the three religions, military strategists, and sword cultivators were allies, as were humans and demons.

The five major human factions joined forces to storm the Heavenly Court and ultimately overthrew the rule of the gods.

After the overthrow of the gods' rule, a rift developed between them.

Some military strategists and sword cultivators made guarantees, believing that they could take over the Heavenly Court and help kill the old gods, unlike the original gods. However, the other three religions disagreed, and a great war broke out between the two sides.

In the end, the military strategists and sword cultivators were defeated.

After all, they were not united, and some held opposing or neutral opinions, so the three religions decided to eradicate them completely.

By the end, the outcome was already decided.

The intervention of Confucianism preserved a portion of the sword cultivators, allowing them to guard the Great Wall of Sword Qi for generations.

This has led to the current situation.

Otherwise, with the merits of sword cultivators who slay generals and seize flags, they would surely gain a share of the world, instead of the world being divided among the three factions.

Military strategists also suffered a severe setback.

Sword cultivators were called barbarians, destined to die generation after generation, and were belittled and looked down upon by the three religions.

In the past, gods oppressed the world; now it is cultivators who oppress the world. The number of cultivators who oppress the world far exceeds the number of gods, and their influence is far greater.

Whether or not things have changed, ordinary people still make up the largest group, which results in suffering becoming even more profound.

The three founders of religions did something about not interfering in human affairs, acting as if they were simply washing their hands of things, letting the world develop on its own for the sake of righteousness.

Su Chen really wanted to curse. "You guys are doing this, no wonder those cultivators below dare to do all sorts of things."

It seems like it's for the good of humanity, but in reality it's sowing the seeds of serious hidden dangers.

It's as if they're saying, "You cultivators, take note: We, the strongest in the world, don't interfere. No matter what you do, as long as you do it secretly, we won't care."

We are delegating power to you, and you should learn to be grateful and thank us. We can never repay your kindness.

I don't know who this power was delegated to, but it certainly wasn't an ordinary person.

The strongest in the extraordinary world can always change the world; top-down reforms are actually very easy for them.

It's like the Lord of Mysteries. We can kill the Old Gods, we can blow up the sun, but if you're pushing for reform of prostitutes, that's just too extreme.

Su Chen agrees with the sword cultivators and military strategists of that time. They believe they can do better than the gods, and with others keeping them in check, they will at least usher in a long period of peaceful rule.

They are in charge, and top-down reforms will be extended to the lower levels.

Even if things decay and deteriorate in the future, that will be a long way off, not like it is now.

The world was divided among three families, but whose world truly was it?
The reasons given by the founders of the three religions were all to prevent assimilation.

Back then, the five major human powers each had one spot and occupied the Heavenly Court. If the demon race hadn't risen up, there wouldn't have been the barbaric era, and the world wouldn't be in its current state.

The situation has become extremely tense, and we could die at any moment. A large number of ordinary people are affected.

They probably thought that heroes emerge in chaotic times, and that all sorts of romantic figures do so.

But now that he's here, his ideas are definitely different from everyone else's; he's here to be the one.

You all have to listen to me. If you don't, I'll just kill you.

Do things my way, govern this world according to my order, or I don't care who you are, you will all die.

"Given your view of cultivators, I really don't dare to accept you as a student."

"Why wouldn't I dare? I am an unprecedented genius. At such a young age, my martial arts level has already reached a level that will surprise you."

You've not just reached a surprising level at such a young age; you've actually managed to beat me.

Ruan Shengren thought to himself, but said aloud, "That's precisely why. If we were to take in someone with your talent, it would naturally bring honor to our family. But I'm afraid what you're planning to do will cause too much trouble for the military."

“I think you’re more worried about Ruan Xiu. I’m not the type of person who likes to cause trouble.”

Ruan Shengren chuckled, "You're telling me you don't like to cause trouble? You don't have a very good opinion of all cultivators in the world."

"My opinion is correct."

Su Chen explained, "Take Jian Qi for example. I don't care what they did or said before. As long as they went to the Sword Qi Great Wall, fought to the death with the monsters, and died there, they are good people."

“Those kinds of cultivators deserve my attention. Most of the other cultivators are not qualified, especially some individual ones. Not just individual ones, but many cultivators. I will kill them one by one when I encounter them.”

Upon hearing about the group of sword cultivators from the Sword Qi Great Wall, a complex look flashed across Sage Ruan's eyes.

"Some cultivators talk a big game, claiming to be working for the common people and the world, each one more eloquent than the last, talking about creating peace for all generations. Don't they even deserve to say that?"

"Is the world truly at peace now? The common people, the cultivators…?"

They say cultivators shouldn't interfere in worldly affairs, but powerful people in the mortal realm secretly collude with them, creating even greater oppression and making life unbearable for the truly impoverished. Where exactly did the three founders of the three religions delegate power?

“A cultivator of the Way of War doesn’t talk about these things or these principles. He just does what he wants to do, remains neutral, and fights for a sliver of heavenly secrets in order to cultivate. I think that’s what a true cultivator is. The Great Wall of Sword Qi elevates the level of a cultivator.”

"We cultivators are here to pursue higher realms and do something meaningful. It's not like they just talk nonsense all day long!"

Su Chen spread his hands, "Don't you think that makes sense?"

After he destroys the barbaric lands, he will fight against the three religions one by one, and while he's at it, he will kill all the cultivators in the world who have been tainted by blood and sin, leaving no one alive.

Let you three religions continue your sermons.

The only sword cultivator in this world who actually does practical things is really unlucky to encounter three quick-witted people from the three religions who insist on reasoning with him.

I didn't know that these three religions are the most eloquent and the most skilled at sophistry.

At worst, we'll fight a huge war and everyone will suffer. They did the most work, and this is how they ended up. So none of them will have an easy time.

This is his idea.

The sword cultivators chose a different path, and for the sake of the greater good, they couldn't bring themselves to use the word "pedantic."

"Good lad, just for those words, my Bing family will take you in!"

Their military strategists weren't always so neutral.

They were with the sword cultivator, but they were the losers back then, and the sword cultivator ended up in such a miserable state.

The three families disagreed, fearing that the same thing would happen again. So what did those three families do?

"Sooner or later, I'll fight them one by one with my own fists and ask them questions."

Su Chen recorded his conversation with Ruan Sheng using a live-streaming method and sent it to everyone in the town.

Many monks harbored murderous intentions towards the mortals of the town.

If this gets out, it will damage their reputation.

But the thought of that great demon filled them with fear.

Hearing these words, they wondered if they could even get out alive.
Of course not.

In a mere instant, Su Chen used his power in this place where he couldn't use his own to trap all the cultivators inside his equipment.

Only Qi Jingchun remained, along with a handful of others.

The old swordsman, a deity who surrendered to Heaven back then. "I won't stop you, you won't force me!"

“It’s covered!”

"Taking you in, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. I'll wait until you break through the fourteenth realm..."

Since Ruan Shengren already considered him one of his own, he naturally told him all sorts of rules and secrets.

To prevent him from being tricked by the other three families, he was also advised that although he was very strong, perhaps comparable to a fourteenth-realm grand cultivator, the older generation of experts might not be someone he could defeat.

They needed to calm down and give each other advice, showing that they truly regarded the other party as an important successor of their military strategy.

The three patriarchs all said that they should not meddle in other people's business. If they really did, then their words would be as meaningless as farting.

If they don't intervene, there aren't many people in the whole world who can beat this brat in front of them.

"Okay, okay, I understand."

“I like your talent and personality. If you hadn’t been eyeing my Ruan Xiu, you would have been a great blessing to my military family.”

"That won't work!"

“If you can help Ruan Xiu solve the problem of divinity and also lead the military to prosperity without resorting to coercion, I will approve of you and will not stop you from pursuing my Ruan Xiu.”

After Ruan Shengren finished speaking.

I don't want to see this guy again, so get out of here right now.

Su Chen knew the other party was kicking him out, but he didn't think much of it and ran to find Ruan Xiu.

The town's bigwigs eventually confirmed that his age was real.

Su Chen stayed in the small town, wondering if Qi Jingchun would make a different choice.

A young Taoist priest wearing a tall crown came over, but was punched twice, leaving him with black eyes, and then scurried away.

"How boring. A mere fourteenth-realm cultivator putting on such airs, how tedious."

"Young master, who is he?"

Su Chen didn't hold back and told him directly that this place was a gathering place for powerful figures, many of whom had extremely high cultivation levels.

He thought it would be a big battle, but it turned out to be very boring.

These top-level cultivators neither care about the suffering of the common people nor uphold justice, and they are even more timid and hesitant towards the barbarians who are humanity's enemies.

I have no idea what most of them are thinking all day long.

A group of monks liked to use riddles to show off, and then they would act like all sorts of superior people.

Or they lecture younger generations with grand principles.

Ultimately, your own fist is still the most effective weapon.

His actions had already spread throughout the area, and people from Zhengyangmen and others came to pay their respects to him, placing themselves in a very lowly position, almost to the point of kowtowing.

She felt that these people were disturbing her time alone with the young master.

Su Chen looked at them coldly.

"As a martial artist at the twelfth realm, I really don't like to reason with others."

"Given the attitude you've shown when you came to pay your respects, I'll have to go and investigate the forces behind you to see if they can withstand it."

thump!
Kneel down!

"That's how we military strategists are."

Ruan Shengren's lips twitched.

I don't know if I've done right by my ancestors by taking in such a troublemaker.

Never mind, this guy is so talented, so what if he causes trouble? Bingdao hasn't been in the limelight for a long time.

As long as this guy doesn't keep trying to take advantage of my Ruanxiu every day, that's fine.

He casually loaded all the guys who were trying to seize the opportunity into his own equipment.

Ning Yao saw that, apart from some ordinary people, there were only a few extraordinary figures left in the town, so she took the initiative to go and meet that senior.

"He's not even twenty yet, you don't need to call him senior."

Upon hearing Qi Jingchun's words, Ning Yao's eyes flashed with surprise.

He's not even twenty, yet he's at least a tenth-level martial artist?!
"Were you cultivating since you were born?" Ning Yao asked in surprise.

"Yes, that's right. I practiced boxing every day in my mother's womb. I had already developed excellent boxing skills before I was even born," Su Chen joked.

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Ning Yao imagined him boxing and couldn't help but burst into laughter, clutching her stomach. What a quirky person.

"It's been a long time since anyone has understood us sword cultivators. Thank you."

Ning Yao chuckled and said, "But you're a bit too much of a troublemaker."

"I have exercised a great deal of restraint."

"what?"

Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand.

"Senior, you shouldn't be such a pretentious person, right?"

"Call me senior~"

"Hahaha!"

Su Chen flicked Ning Yao on the forehead right there and then.

I'll make you laugh.

Seeing Ning Yao in pain, looking eager to try.

“Go back to the Great Wall of Sword Qi. That old swordsman won’t choose you.”

As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, a surge of sword energy rose into the sky, which he blocked with one hand.

Ten, twelve Mirror Warriors?!
"Look, you're still angry."

He smiled and revealed the secret, "Tell me something interesting, this sword is female."

Ning Yao's lips twitched.

"I had no choice, I just wanted to see how they would perform, and the result was very satisfying."

Ning Yao left the town without any regrets.

The Taoist priest with the high crown and the bigwigs of the town were dumbfounded.

They felt things were spiraling out of control in a way they couldn't have imagined.

However, they dared not act rashly, suspecting that he was a martial artist of the twelfth realm.

He was overjoyed that he had completely messed up the plot.

He wanted to see how these people would end up.

In the hall.

"You're really wicked. Ning Yao is an important character, and all the big shots have their own plans."

"I'll increase the difficulty for them. Weren't they supposed to be newcomers to Zhenhun Street? I'm going back to cause some trouble later." (End of Chapter)
