Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 553: Tribulation of the Ten Thousand Gods

"The most powerful swordsmanship in Japan?"

"Yes, after experiencing a thousand defeats, the sword technique created by Qianbaiyijian is flawless."

"Wouldn't that mean he's invincible?"

"Although there are no flaws, it is not invincible. Just like Liu Shengjianying, after a long period of training, he began to have an unusual obsession and cleanliness for swords and kendo, and pursued perfect swordsmanship all his life. After inheriting the swordsmanship "Ten Thousand Gods Tribulation" from his master, he concentrated the fourteen styles of Ten Thousand Gods Tribulation passed down by his master into three moves. After years of kendo training, Liu Shengjianying extracted the fourth move from the third move."

"But unfortunately, this fourth move cannot be verified, because whenever the Sword Saint uses the Myriad Gods Tribulation to fight, no one has ever been able to survive until the second move appears. Sword moves that cannot be verified can only be theories. Even the Emperor Shadow, the number one master of the Japanese royal family who killed Guiji, could only take three of his moves. This distressed Yagyu Kenkage, and at the same time established his reputation as the Sword Saint of Japan. Later, in order to verify his kendo and supreme sword moves, he directly challenged the pinnacle of Japanese martial arts, "Southern Martial Arts Champion" Shen Wuyue, to a battle. However, because his sword "Xue Xun" was transformed by the Martial Arts Champion's "Return to Nothingness" move, he considered himself a failure and sat alone in the Yaksha Cave for fifty years, waiting for the birth of this flawless sword."

"If there is such a reason, then why is it Yaksha Cave?"

"That's because Yasha Cave is located under Yasha Valley. The top of Yasha Valley is rich in soft iron metal. Water vapor penetrates the soft iron ore and carries iron to drip into Yasha Cave, making the stalagmites in the cave contain soft iron powder. Water vapor penetrates the soft iron ore and carries iron to drip into Yasha Cave, making the stalagmites in the cave contain soft iron powder. Yagyu Kenei sits here just to watch the soft iron condense bit by bit."

"That's why the Sword Saint is sitting here motionless. By the way, old man, how did you get to know the Sword Saint? You look like a Central Plains person, not a Japanese. How come you have such a deep grudge against the Sword Saint?"

"Because not long ago, I had a fight with Yagyu Kenkage."

Idagaryu was curious about the outcome of this battle, "So who won between you?"

"Yagyu Kenshin can't kill me with the three moves of Ten Thousand Gods Tribulation. Although I can take on the fourth move, it's not necessary."

Idagaryu obviously didn't believe it, "I didn't expect you to speak as loudly as you do at your age..."

"You don't believe it." Qiong Baji laughed and said, "If you had said that ten years ago, you probably wouldn't be able to stand in front of me alive."

Feeling the amazing sword intent erupting from Qiong Baji, Idagaru had to believe, "Old man, you said before that no one except Minamoto Musashi could take the Sword Saint's second move. And you also said that you could take the Sword Saint's strongest move. Don't you think that's contradictory?"

"First of all, I am talking about Japan, which does not mean that there are no people in the Middle-earth. Secondly, Shen Wu Yue has been defeated." Qiong Baji corrected: "Also, I am the Sword God of the Western Border of the Middle-earth. Naturally, Japan is not included."

"What? The undefeated legend of Japan actually lost!?"

"The one who defeated him was the Soul Burial Emperor of Huanchen Buwu."

"The Soul Burial Emperor is the one who swept across the five provinces and four regions of Japan in a short period of time!"

"Okay, let's end this matter here. You can verify the rest yourself." Qiong Baji finally said the purpose of his trip, "I came here to see how Liu Shengjianying's sword is made. When can he fulfill the promise to Zhongyuan?"

"The Sword Saint is heading to Central Plains?"

"That's right. In Japan today, no one can compete with Yagyu Kenshin in the way of the sword, and no one can help him prove his way."

"You mean Middle-earth has it."

"There are many swordsmen like Xiangwu in Middle-earth."

"I believe it will be completed soon." Qiong Baji judged that the flawless sword would be completed the moment he entered the Yaksha Cave. "Boy, before I leave, I will give you a piece of advice. If you want Liu Sheng Jianying to accept you as a disciple, you must be prepared to die. Don't draw your sword in the Yaksha Cave before you are ready."

After saying that, Qiong Baji shouted to the Yaksha Cave: "Yagyu Jianying, I hope that in the future in the Middle Earth, you and I can continue the unfinished sword duel that day."

Hello everyone, I am the dividing line of water word count-——
After the battle of Wanjunyan, the whereabouts of the Black and White Man became a mystery again.

It seemed that after Xuanyuan Bubai's death, no one could arouse his interest or be worthy of his efforts again.

However, the world will not change because of one person. As the Ziyao Dynasty established effective rule in various parts of the Central Plains, various policies such as the Order to Stop Military Action were vigorously implemented.

Anyone who dares to disobey the order to stop the use of force and take action at will will be wanted by the Celestial Empire. Anyone who causes harm to the people will be sentenced to death.

Under the powerful crackdown of the Celestial Empire, the habit of private fighting among martial artists was finally gradually corrected.

The people have also adapted to a stable life and no longer have to live in fear every day as they did in the past.

In addition, the distribution of land and the opening of trade routes greatly improved the material life of the people during this period.

The establishment of the college and the exemption of tuition fees made the people applaud.

Under Ji Wushuang's suggestion, the government took the lead in collecting all kinds of black technologies and the results of Huanchen Buwu's research for many years, and handed them over to the Ministry of Industry of Ziyao Tianchao for analysis, replication, and improvement. They were transformed into technologies that could be used by civilians, greatly improving the productivity of the people in the Central Plains. This led to the prosperity of commerce and the continuous increase of Ziyao Tianchao's finances.

Liuhuo Canglong, who had both food and wealth, began his first conscription into the Central Plains.

In the past, the sources of soldiers for the Zi Yao Dynasty mostly came from the reorganization of the sects that defected, spontaneous defection, and the integration of the Black Barbarians and other forces when Liu Huo Canglong started out.

This also resulted in the Zi Yao Tian Dynasty's army being too influenced by the underworld and unable to truly enforce discipline.

This is the current situation that Ji Wushuang must change.

When fighting, the Qing soldiers relied too much on the abilities of their generals.

This is of course also related to the humanistic environment of the difficult situation.

After all, numbers don't mean much in front of a master who can tear down mountains and split seas.

But this situation is not unchangeable.

Haven’t you seen that during the Futianshang Rebellion, Minglun Fakui, one of the ten evil ghosts under his command, formed a formation with only a group of soldiers holding dazzling shields.

Together with several generals, he almost swept away all the righteous forces at that time.

This forced Long Nao Qingyangzi to seal himself in the Tiandi Gate, and even forced a peerless master like Feng Zhihen to escape from the brink of death.

However, the current troops of the Ziyao Celestial Empire clearly do not have this quality.

In this regard, all that is lacking is the number of soldiers that Huanchen Buwu has.

Therefore, this time Ji Wushuang took the lead and officially issued a recruitment order to the Central Plains under the rule of Ziyao Dynasty.

As long as one is a citizen of the Central Plains, he or she can voluntarily join the Celestial Empire’s army.

After passing the training test, you can become a formal soldier of the Celestial Empire.

Thanks to Wu Mengsheng for the reward.

Thanks to Dutianshensha Zhoutianxingchen for the reward.
