The disaster of the world begins with Dongfang Bubai

Chapter 32: Stop, forget, follow the wind, walk, watch, and be calm

Xi Mingzhang's ears moved slightly, as if he heard some noise. He glanced sideways and saw Cheng Shifei crawling out from the rubble.

"Okay, your father's revenge has been achieved. I will take the Dongchang cavalry to Hulong Villa later. I think your mother is there." After Xi Mingzhang finished speaking, he smashed the wooden box with his finger strength and walked away.

Afterwards, he entered the palace and reported the news to the Empress Dowager.

It turns out that the mastermind behind the destruction of the eight major sects in Jianghu is the Iron-Hearted Godly Marquis Zhu Wusi, and the Fuso masters are just targets on the surface. After the survivors of the eight major sects learn the truth, they go together to seek revenge.

After learning the news, Dongchang rushed to rescue him as soon as possible, considering that even if Tiedan Shenhou had done something wrong, he was still a member of the royal family and would be dealt with by the imperial court. Unfortunately, they arrived too late.

The Iron-Hearted Lord was extremely affectionate and would kill all the offenders, but because of the death of his beloved, he could not help but commit suicide.

When the Empress Dowager heard the news from Xi Mingzhang, she was surprised but also a little happy, because Zhu Wusi was too powerful and was a member of the royal family, which made people feel wary of him.

Then she became furious, thinking that the martial artists were too arrogant and rebellious. They dared to assassinate the current marquis without any witnesses or evidence, so she ordered Xi Mingzhang to reorganize the martial arts world.

Ten years later.

In a quiet and secluded place outside Beijing, in a bamboo forest, there is an elegant bamboo house. The still youthful Xi Mingzhang is leisurely drinking tea and reading in the small courtyard outside the bamboo house.

After he sent Cheng Shifei to lead the Eastern Depot's cavalry to sweep the martial arts world, he left the capital seven years ago and lived in seclusion here alone.

Over the years, Xi Mingzhang has been trying to find a way to harmonize with the Tao. Besides that, he has finally understood why the energy of heaven and earth suddenly weakened after he broke through the realm in the Laughing Proud World. It turned out that it was the Dao Jie Bell that was causing trouble, completely turning the Laughing Proud World into the World of the End of the Dharma.

He was originally still doubting in his heart that it was probably impossible for him to suck a world to exhaustion.

Although that small world was gradually going downhill and was not far from the end of the Dharma era, with his original strength and realm, how could he absorb even 80% to 90% of the essence of heaven and earth?

The so-called essence of heaven and earth in the Small Thousand Worlds is like the spiritual energy needed by those who practice Taoism in the Great Thousand Worlds. The essence of heaven and earth in the Smiling Proud Wanderer world is so thin and insufficient that the martial arts level of those who practice martial arts in this world becomes lower and lower.

However, wanting to fully utilize the essence of the sun and the moon to practice cultivation is as unattainable as building airplanes and rockets in the Stone Age.

This is the reason why it is difficult to raise a dragon in shallow water. If you want to break through the limitations of the world and make a breakthrough in your cultivation realm, you must either go to a world with a higher energy level, or expand and upgrade the world to increase its upper limit.

Xi Mingzhang was naturally not interested in bringing a burden with him, and for him, the World of Smiling Proud Wanderer was just a short stop.

Ever since he retired, he discovered that the essence of heaven and earth in this world was becoming increasingly weak. Then he realized that it was the Dao Jie Bell that was secretly absorbing the essence of heaven and earth in this world.

I have a mysterious feeling that if I absorb it to a certain extent, the Daojie Bell will awaken something.

Therefore, Xi Mingzhang no longer carried out the forbidden martial arts activities in the world of Laughing Proudly. After letting Cheng Shifei tidy up the martial arts world, he began to live a secluded life.

Suddenly, a man in his thirties walked into the courtyard, carrying various valuables in his hands.

"Master, your life is truly something I envy!"

"I am no longer the head of the East Factory. Haven't I already let you and your mother live happily together? Not only that, I have also released the restraints on you."

"Logically speaking, given your fear of me, you probably won't want to come see me in this lifetime."

The man just laughed dryly, put the gift in the main hall of the bamboo house, and then walked to Xi Mingzhang. When he saw that his teacup was empty, he poured tea with a tactful look and said, "It's been many years since we last met. I miss you, my lord. Anyway, if it weren't for you, my lord, I wouldn't have been able to take revenge so easily, and I wouldn't have the happiness of my family now."

"Also, if it weren't for your help, Yunluo and I wouldn't have been able to get married, so you have been very kind to me."

Xi Mingzhang was still reading the book, and replied without raising his head:
"Stop talking so much and get down to business."

"As expected of you, Lord Governor, you still have such a keen eye." Cheng Shifei cleared his throat and said:
"Master, you have watched Yun Luo grow up since she was a child. You also know that she has loved wielding swords and guns since she was a child. You also know that eight years ago, we gave birth to a son. Yun Luo used various precious medicinal herbs to train his body since he was a child. She wanted to teach him martial arts and let him grow up to be a hero who fights against the strong and helps the weak."

When he said this, he looked distressed and sighed:
"But now I don't know what's wrong. No matter how hard I practice martial arts, I just can't generate true energy in my body."

"This reminds me that the Lord of the Inspector's power is to understand the creation, and I will definitely know the reason."

Xi Mingzhang raised his eyes and said calmly:

"It's really pitiful how loving parents are. No wonder you are so afraid of me, yet you still come to find me."

"Master Governor, you are joking." An embarrassed look appeared on Cheng Shifei's face.

Xi Mingzhang said calmly:

"No matter how powerful I am, I am just one person. How can I fight against the heavens? This situation is not just for your child, but for others as well."

"This world restricts people from generating true qi in their bodies. There is only one way to enable your son to generate true qi."

"What method?" Cheng Shifei asked quickly.

"I will teach you the skills, but even if you teach me all your skills, you can only keep 30% at most." Xi Mingzhang said, and then ordered him to leave:
"Okay, I've told you everything you wanted to know. You should go now."

"Well, I'll take my leave. I won't disturb your peace anymore." After Cheng Shifei clasped his fists and bowed, he walked out of the courtyard.

Xi Mingzhang took a sip of tea comfortably and continued reading. The leisurely and quiet life made him feel extremely comfortable. If he did not possess the body of Mars, he would probably just want to stay in one place and practice quietly.

However, reality is always contrary to expectations. Even if one does not have a special physique, once one embarks on the path of spiritual practice, it all depends on the word "competition". How can it be linked to a peaceful life?

Thirty years later.

Xi Mingzhang stood on the top of the mountain, quietly looking at the sea of ​​clouds. Although the scenery of the sea of ​​clouds was reflected in his eyes, his face had a pensive expression.

“At the beginning, I melted the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit into one, explored the method of merging with the Tao, slowly melted the blood of essence, the true essence of energy, and the spiritual consciousness of spirit, and then entered the state of meditation, merged with the void of heaven and earth, and explored the realm of the Tao giving birth to one, one giving birth to two, and three giving birth to all things.

"During this process, the true qi is transformed into Gangqi, which not only has the ability to protect the body and expel poison, strengthen the body and resist objects, regenerate flesh and stop bleeding, heal wounds and cure diseases, but also has unparalleled killing power."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but whisper:
"Unfortunately, it is ultimately a technique gained on the road of seeking, rather than the transcendental path I want."

Xi Mingzhang suddenly smiled:
“Stop, forget, and follow the wind. Walk, watch, and be calm. The heavens are vast and I think they will not let me down.”
