The disaster of the world begins with Dongfang Bubai

Chapter 84: Heir of the Western Chu Royal Family, Jiang Weiguang
Wudang Mountain has lush green peaks and spectacular sea of ​​clouds. Looking down from the top of the mountain, you can see the rolling mountains and the lingering sea of ​​clouds, as if you are in a fairyland.

Five or six miles away, there is a low mountain with lush greenery and a fresh and pleasant air. On the top of the mountain there is a relatively simple Taoist temple.

At this time, not far from the Taoist temple, a brisk and clear ballad floated over:

"I have walked the small Zhoutian, chanted the spell and pinched the finger gestures. I am originally from Xiao Huangshan, a small immortal who has attained the Tao. I have pushed the Nine Palaces Diagram and performed Li Zhen Qian."

"I am well versed in astronomy and geography, and I know the past five thousand years."

When the song reached this point, a young Taoist priest wearing a light yellow Taoist robe, less than 20 years old, carrying a backpack on his back, walked towards them step by step. In a few breaths, he had entered the Taoist temple.

As the smoke from the cooking stove rose, a strong smell of medicine filled the air throughout the Taoist temple, and the young Taoist priest walked into the backyard carrying the boiled medicine.

An old Taoist priest with a white face and no beard was sitting on a recliner. He saw the young Taoist priest put the medicine on the table beside him and sighed:
"When I heard the ballad you sang just now, I wished you had been a carefree little Taoist priest in the mountains from the beginning."

"Old An, don't worry so much. If you weren't so worried, even if you had suffered a serious injury, you would have lived ten more years instead of dying in just five years."

"Your Highness, I don't have much time left. I sincerely want to advise you that Western Chu has already perished. Don't think about restoring your country."

"You and I have lived in exile here for five years. Don't you know that I have never had any thoughts of restoring my country?"

"I have watched Your Highness grow up, so how could I not know that you have always had the thought of revenge in your heart? Listen to my advice. If you insist on doing it, the consequences will be unpredictable."

"Xu Xiao is the only remaining king of a different surname in the Liyang Dynasty. He ruled over the three states in the northwest. He joined the army at the age of ten and killed people. He started from killing Xiongnu in Jinzhou in the northeast, massacred more than 70 cities in the south, and then suppressed the 16 tribes of barbarians in the southwest."

He paused and said with some difficulty:

"He spent his whole life in the military, led 800 veterans out of Liaodong, and from a nobody in the Jianghu, he became one of the three great demons in the Spring and Autumn Period. It should be noted that the nine kingdoms in the Central Plains during the Spring and Autumn Period were divided into Liyang, Western Chu, Western Shu, Northern Han, Great Wei, Later Song, Later Sui, Eastern Yue, and Southern Tang."

"Among them, the Later Sui, Western Chu, Later Song, Western Shu, Northern Han, and Great Wei were all destroyed by him."

The old Taoist priest said earnestly:

"Now he has 300,000 Beiliang cavalrymen under his command. Even the Liyang royal family is wary of him. How can Your Highness take revenge?"

"Fifteen years ago, before he was named the King of Beiliang, Xu Xiao personally led his cavalry to crush dozens of martial arts sects across the Liyang Dynasty. Except for the orthodox sects such as Longhu Mountain, which had always been peaceful, the rest of the rebellious top sects were wiped out directly."

"The Tingchao Pavilion in the Beiliang Palace is the witness of all these killings."

"Besides, Xu Xiao is just a knife of the Liyang Imperial Family. If Your Highness insists on revenge, wouldn't he have to fight against the Liyang Imperial Family?"

"You should know that the Liyang Dynasty originally had only six states, and after destroying the eight kingdoms of the Spring and Autumn Period, it added thirteen states, a total of nineteen states. The Beimang Dynasty that confronted it only occupied eight states."

"If you face these two giants, you will definitely die."

"Old An, you are always so worried. When it comes to revenge, you should do it within your ability. I was born in the royal family of Western Chu. As a concubine's son, although my name is Jiang Weiguang, I have always been a nobody since I was a child. I don't have any extra thoughts in my mind."

"When Western Chu fell, Xu Xiao was the first to break into the palace, so I couldn't escape death." Xi Mingzhang gestured on his left chest:
"It was right here. A knife pierced my chest. But because my heart was naturally on the right side, I was saved by you by chance."

"After escaping death by a hair's breadth, I felt as if I had just woken up from a dream, a feeling of past and present life. Therefore, I cherish my life very much and will not do anything reckless."

Old An nodded: "Your Highness, it's good that you understand. You have known how to protect yourself since you were a child. You have never practiced martial arts. You have lived on thin ice until you were fourteen, with an attitude that you only wanted to be a free and easy prince."

"Now, after five years of martial arts training, even if you have reached the level of a second-grade junior master, you can establish a school in the martial arts world, but for the King of Beiliang and the Liyang royal family, you are still an insignificant existence."

Xi Mingzhang listened quietly without interrupting, knowing that the eunuch who had been serving him was still worried.

"The current martial arts realm is divided into nine levels, which increase gradually from the ninth level to the first level."

"If you can damage the armor but not break it, you are at the lower third level. If you can break less than six armors, you are at the middle third level. If you can break eight or nine armors, you are at the upper third level. Only if you can reach the second level, you can be called a master in the martial arts world."

"Only by entering the first rank can one truly transcend the mundane world in the martial arts world. Currently, there are four realms in the first rank. The first three realms correspond to Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism respectively."

"The Land of Immortals is a new realm that the three families have reached through different paths and reached together. They are also called Land of Immortals."

"This is the practice of a warrior, which progresses step by step through the four realms. The three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism practice a single realm."

“In addition, if you want to break through to the Celestial Realm, you need the help of luck, otherwise you can only stop. Although the transition from the Celestial Realm to the Land God Realm is a natural process, there are only a limited number of Land Gods. Only when other Land Gods die or ascend, can new Land Gods be born.”

"Okay, Lao An, I don't know how many times you have said this to me. I know my own worth and I won't act rashly or impulsively. Drink the medicine quickly. The sun has already set. After you drink the medicine, I will help you go into the house to rest."

Ten days later.

A tomb appeared in the back mountain of the Taoist temple.

Xi Mingzhang had a calm expression and whispered softly:

"Every time my soul reincarnates, my luck is never very good. Even if I become a prince of a country, my luck will be gone in a flash, and I may even get killed for it."

His eyes fell on the tombstone:
"In the past one or two years, my martial arts have been improving rapidly. I wanted to tell you, but with your body, I am afraid that if I tell you the truth, you will get excited and die early."

"Even if I told you that I have reached the Zhixuan realm, I'm afraid your heart would be even more anxious, which would be bad. So I have been hiding it from you, thinking that it would not be too late to tell you at the end."

"As I expected, you could hardly hide your worries when you were dying. You kept telling me to think long-term and to be a free and easy wanderer."

"But I have always been very narrow-minded. I am such a person in this world. During the ten years I lived in the Western Chu Palace, although I was a nobody, I had everything I wanted, including wealth and glory. It was hard for me not to do something!"

Xi Mingzhang looked towards Wudang Mountain:
"As the heir of Western Chu, I don't have any luck at all. It's really strange. Could it be that the remaining luck of Western Chu is all in the hands of my love-minded half sister?"

He sighed inexplicably:
"Alas, looking around, most of the world is related to love, which is really depressing."

"Forget it. It's just killing someone, and it will allow me to reach the Celestial Realm. Why should I think so much?"

His figure gradually became illusory and disappeared like smoke, leaving behind only one sentence:

"National hatred and family feuds? Just shoulder them all."

"In this world, I will call myself Huang Tian, ​​and I will kill with determination, to see who in the world can rival me."
