My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 431 Master Xu was stunned!

"Bang!!"

The gates of the Xuanzhen Division were violently pushed open!

"who!"

The disciples inside the gate changed their expressions, and then all looked towards the gate with cold faces.

For so many years, I have never seen anyone dare to be so reckless in the Xuanzhen Division.

Zeng Anmin appeared, his fists clenched tightly under his sleeves.

His expression was extremely solemn.

"it's me!"

His voice rang in the ears of all his disciples.

"Lord Zeng?"

Upon seeing Zeng Anmin, the tense atmosphere within the department instantly dissipated.

Zeng Anmin's relationship with the Xuanzhen Division...

It's like a future son-in-law, you know?
They were very close.

"Why are you here?"

I've come to find Master Xu!

Zeng Anmin got straight to the point, without any unnecessary words.

"Master Celestial Master? Didn't you just come here a couple of days ago?"

"Enough with the nonsense, I have an urgent matter to attend to!"

Zeng Anmin's voice was extremely urgent.

This was the first time the disciples had ever seen such an expression on Zeng Anmin's face.

"I'll go and inform you right away."

"No need, I'll go myself!" Zeng Anmin was too lazy to explain anything to these people. He went straight from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard and then into the Celestial Master's Mansion.

"Master Xu!! This junior is looking for you!!"

Zeng Anmin arrived at the courtyard of the Celestial Master's Mansion, his voice ringing out amidst his martial arts aura.

The sound was so loud and urgent that it aroused great curiosity.

"What are you here for?"

Liu Shishi yawned and walked out of her room, still half asleep, looking at Zeng Anmin.

“Assistant Quan.” Sai Chuxue also came out of the house, and her eyes warmed when she saw Zeng Anmin:
"What urgent matter brings you to see your master at this time?"

"It's nothing, not worth bothering you." Zeng Anmin forced a smile and waved to the two women.

"Why would you come for something so trivial?" Liu Shishi rolled her eyes. "You're disturbing my peaceful sleep!"

He then returned to his room dejectedly.

"Master should be in meditation right now," Sai Chuxue whispered to Zeng Anmin before returning to her room.

"Master Xu!!"

"I really need to talk to you!"

Zeng Anmin waited for a long time but Xu Tianshi did not appear, and he became a little anxious.

Just as he was thinking of gritting his teeth and stamping his foot to break into the Celestial Master's Mansion.

"What's the matter?"

Xu Tianshi's somewhat weary voice rang out.

Then, Xu Tianshi's figure slowly appeared in front of him.

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath: "Master, this is a matter of great importance. Please be sure to find a safe place."

When Master Xu saw Zeng Anmin's appearance, he frowned slightly.

Knowing his agreement with Zeng Anmin, he did not delay and waved his hand lightly, causing a commotion in the main hall.

Then a hidden door opened.

"Walk."

Master Xu led Zeng Anmin into the hidden door.

"Wow~"

The hidden door closed.

Zeng Anmin and Master Xu appeared in a small room.

The room is very quiet.

"Da da da."

As Zeng Anmin's footsteps echoed, some of their sounds could even be heard.

"Speak, what is it?"

Master Xu calmly walked to a prayer mat and sat down.

"No one can hear us here, right?"

Zeng Anmin glanced around warily.

Even if a sage were to personally visit, he would not hear it.

Master Xu glanced at him, then slowly closed his eyes.

"Whoo~"

Zeng Anmin breathed a sigh of relief.

He then looked at Master Xu, his gaze revealing solemnity:

"Master Celestial Master, may I ask you, how much do you know about the Celestial Dao Diagram?"

Master Xu looked over, then at Zeng Anmin, his brows furrowing slightly.

He didn't understand why Zeng Anmin would mention the three words "Heavenly Dao Diagram".

"It can be considered a treasure."

After some deliberation, Master Xu slowly shook his head again: "But in the end, it is just an external thing. Although it can help protect one's cultivation, it does not actually assist one's cultivation."

"So in your eyes, the Heavenly Dao Diagram is just a treasure that enhances combat power, but it doesn't really help with improving cultivation, right?"

Zeng Anmin's gaze fell directly on Xu Tianshi's face.

His gaze was actually somewhat offensive.

However, Master Xu was not without worldly desires, so he did not care.

"Of course."

Master Xu looked at Zeng Anmin with a half-smile: "As far as I know, the Empress of Nanjiang, Wuxin of the Daoist sect, Wujia, the barbarian prince, and the Earl of Zhongyuan back then are all people bound by the Heavenly Dao Diagram."

“Apart from the Earl of Zhongyuan, who is exceptionally talented and cultivates faster, the other three, although they can be considered geniuses, are by no means the chosen ones of heaven.”

"So you see, what use is the Heavenly Dao Diagram?"

really!

Upon hearing this answer, Zeng Anmin knew that Master Xu had indeed studied the Heavenly Dao Diagram.

It's precisely because he must have studied the Heavenly Dao intensively at some point in his life that he knew the identities of these three people from the Heavenly Dao Alliance!

This is something that not just anyone would know.

The fact that Master Xu could easily name all three members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance meant that he must have put in a lot of effort to study them. However, in the end, he found that these people who possessed the Heavenly Dao Diagram were all a bit useless, so he stopped paying attention to the Heavenly Dao Diagram.

"Can you guarantee that everything that happens here will remain unknown to the outside world?"

Zeng Anmin's gaze was extremely solemn at this moment.

Master Xu's lips twitched slightly. He said helplessly, "I told you, even if a saint himself came here, he wouldn't be able to find it!"

"it is good!"

A glint of light flashed in Zeng Anmin's eyes, and then he began to circulate his martial arts aura.

"Boom!!!"

"Yan!!!"

next moment.

Master Xu's eyes suddenly went blank.

Zeng Anmin had vanished from his sight.

Instead, a giant dragon coiled up inside the house!

Correct!
A giant dragon!!
Its enormous body filled the entire room!

The dragon's body coiled around the beams like a giant python, its dark blue scales gleaming with a cold, iron-like hue in the candlelight.

Each scale was as large as a bronze basin, with edges as sharp as a knife.

Four dragon claws were deeply embedded in the roof beams, and the iron-like toenails pierced through the nanmu wood, with cracks spreading like a spider web to the walls.

A broken incense burner was pressed under its left front paw, with incense ash scattered all over the ground like snowflakes.

The dragon head hangs down from the main beam, its antlers twisted like withered branches, almost touching Xu Tianshi's forehead.

The dragon's mouth was slightly open, revealing serrated fangs, and a wisp of green smoke escaped from its throat, carrying an aura like that of the deep sea.

Master Xu stood frozen in place upon seeing this scene.

The whisk in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud".

His pupils dilated, his mouth agape, and he stared blankly at the dragon.

The dragon's eyelids suddenly lifted, revealing two vertical pupils that looked like molten gold.

Within those pupils, nebulae seemed to swirl, and Master Xu felt his soul being pulled into a bottomless vortex. He saw thunderstorms explode in the dragon's eyes, and then he saw primordial waves engulfing cities.

The dragon's throat emitted a low hum, causing the dust accumulated on the beams to fall in a rustling sound.

Master Xu felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer, his blood pounding wildly to the rhythm of the dragon's roar, his ears ringing as if ten thousand bells were striking simultaneously. He staggered and leaned against the wall, his knuckles turning white from the force, and the back of his Taoist robe was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

Seeing Master Xu's expression.

Zeng Anmin's lips curled up slightly.

After breaking through the third layer of restrictions on the Ancestral Dragon Diagram, he gained another ability.

Transform into a dragon!!!

It wasn't a mixed dragon.

It was none other than the Ancestral Dragon, one of the five ancestral gods who stood tall between heaven and earth!
"This is……"

Master Xu was completely unaware that his throat was extremely constricted, and the voice he produced was incredibly hoarse!

As for this Demon Blood Martial Arts?
Bullshit!

Master Xu immediately dismissed the idea.

Which deity cultivated demon blood martial arts and transformed themselves into a dragon?

As if remembering something, Master Xu suddenly raised his head and unleashed a massive magic seal!

"Buzz!"

The blue light flashed, forming a huge protective shield that reinforced the entire house by another layer!
"Boom!!!"

It wasn't until then that a thunderbolt from a clear sky finally arrived!

"Change back quickly!!" Master Xu shouted at Zeng Anmin, "Your current form is too powerful, it will attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao and cause changes in the environment!"

"Shh!"

The dragon disappeared.

Zeng Anmin reappeared and calmly looked at Master Xu.

With his martial arts aura, which was at the level of a third-grade martial artist, he had already consumed most of it in just a short while!

"This is the benefit brought by the Heavenly Dao Diagram."

Zeng Anmin's gaze met that of Master Xu.

"The Heavenly Dao Diagram?!"

Master Xu frowned as he looked at Zeng Anmin.

“Yes, the Heavenly Dao Diagram. There are five Heavenly Dao Diagrams in this world, and the one I have is the Ancestral Dragon Diagram.” Zeng Anmin stared at Master Xu.

Five Heavenly Dao Diagrams?!

Master Xu's brows furrowed tightly: "Not four?"

"No, there are five!"

Zeng Anmin's gaze was extremely sharp: "So now, do you want to re-examine the role of the Heavenly Dao Diagram?"

Master Xu stared at him for a long time, then his expression became complicated, and he murmured to Zeng Anmin:

"Just four short years."

"It has actually come to this."

"Zeng Anmin, before I met you, I always thought I was the strongest genius in the world."

"But compared to you..."

"hehe."

As Master Xu spoke, a smile appeared on his face, then his brows furrowed again:
"So, the information I received before was wrong?!"

He then slowly raised his head, his eyes flashing with a sharp light: "Are those three owners of the Dao Dao Diagrams hiding their true abilities?"

Zeng Anmin shook his head: "It's not that they're hiding their talents, it's that they lack the understanding."

“Each Heavenly Dao Diagram has three layers of restrictions.”

"It was only by chance that I was able to break through to the third level and completely control the Ancestral Dragon Diagram."

"But they only remain at the first level of awakening."

"As for the Marquis of Zhongyuan back then..." Zeng Anmin paused for a moment, then slowly looked up at Master Xu:
"The reason he was so exceptionally talented and known as the number one swordsman in the capital was because he had broken through the second layer of restrictions on the Xi Huang Diagram. Therefore, the changes in his body were not due to any demonic blood martial arts, but rather the benefits brought by the Heavenly Dao Diagram."

"Oh." Master Xu nodded thoughtfully.

"If that's the case, then throughout history, only a handful of people who possessed the Heavenly Dao Diagram were able to break through the second layer of restrictions on it."

At this point, he shook his head again: "The conditions for this treasure are too demanding, and it is not something that ordinary people can control. Even if it falls into the hands of someone with good intentions, it will be difficult to make great use of it."

He's right.

Empress Gu Xiangnan, Daoist Wuxin, and the barbarian prince Wujia are typical examples.

They can be considered geniuses.

But compared to Zeng Anmin, he was ultimately too ordinary.

Zeng Anmin's gaze deepened:

"What if someone could forcibly enhance their comprehension through treasures and cultivation methods, thereby gaining complete control over the Heavenly Dao Diagram?"

Master Xu frowned and looked up at Zeng Anmin.

Zeng Anmin spoke expressionlessly:
"The Dao Heart Chess Manual is a closely guarded secret of the Daoist Sword Sect. Studying the manual can slowly increase one's comprehension."

"When you reach a high level of mastery, you can even play against yourself. At that time, your comprehension will grow even faster. That's what my cousin said."

Master Xu was slightly taken aback.

"The Crimson Flame Spirit Fruit, combined with the mental cultivation method of the Dao Heart Chess Manual, will greatly accelerate the improvement of comprehension."

Zeng Anmin's voice was quiet and somber:

"Back when I broke through to the Visualization Realm in martial arts, I needed rare and precious materials, and the leaves of this Crimson Flame Spirit Fruit were the ones I used."

"After entering the cave and obtaining the Crimson Flame Spirit Fruit, I discovered that only two greenish-blue beans were hanging from the fruit's leaves."

"But the book clearly says that after the leaves form elephant ears, the fruit will also ripen, so why is it still green?"

Zeng Anmin's voice grew increasingly heavy:

"At the time I thought it was because of the weather, but now that I think about it, the fruit must have been picked beforehand."

"Who?!"

Master Xu frowned slightly.

"Can't you figure it out yet?"

Zeng Anmin looked at Master Xu calmly: "The only thing that can provide information about the exact location of a spiritual root like the Crimson Flame Spirit Fruit is the 'Record of Miraculous Herbs' possessed by the royal families of both countries!"

Upon hearing this, Master Xu's pupils suddenly contracted.

Clearly, a candidate had already come to mind!
"So, taking all of these factors into account..."

Zeng Anmin's voice was like swords clashing:
"The case of the missing Dragon Map: Emperor Jianhong, Princess Ning'an, and Bai Ziqing travel to Jiangnan!!"

boom! ! !
Upon hearing this, Master Xu's heart skipped a beat!

It's obvious that he completely believes Zeng Anmin's words!

"At the time, I thought it was just a normal thing, but now that I think about it, there's no reason for it. Was he just going to the south of the Yangtze River to relax?"

Zeng Anmin's eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

"The Xihuang Diagram is in his hands?!"

"But if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't even know so much about the Heavenly Dao Diagram! How did Emperor Jianhong find out?"

Master Xu stared at Zeng Anmin, his voice tinged with frost.

Zeng Anmin chuckled softly, stared at Master Xu for a moment, and then slowly said:

"The Enlightenment Pill, made from the yang blood of people born on the tenth spiritual day, can enable poultry to speak human language. Whether human or demon, anyone who takes this pill will have their intelligence greatly increased and will have a photographic memory."

"If one encounters a Ten Spirit Sun cultivator with exceptional talent, and then combines them with the blood and bones of a Heavenly Dislike being with a pure Yang body, they can even refine the legendary Enlightenment Pill. Taking just one of these pills can greatly enhance one's comprehension!"

"These messages all come from the Taoist sect."

Master Xu's eyes narrowed sharply for a moment, then slowly returned to calm:

"It seems that Emperor Jianhong's chess skills have improved."

Even at a time like this, you're still trying to act all high and mighty?

Zeng Anmin remained silent.

He calmly looked up at Master Xu:
“If you do not take immediate action, I fear the true meaning of the Xi Huang Tu will soon belong to Emperor Jian Hong.”

"Because, all these years, Emperor Jianhong has been secretly gathering the children of the Ten Spirits under Ji Qing's name."

"And that detestable person..."

Zeng Anmin shook his head and chuckled: "When I first heard this news, I was wondering who the person hated by Heaven would be?"

"Looking back now, it wasn't actually that complicated."

His gaze slowly turned toward the direction of the palace:
"A person that everyone hates."

"Do you think it could be Princess Anning?"

"Is she really just a spoiled little girl who was pampered by Emperor Jianhong?"

"With her personality, how could Emperor Jianhong have tolerated her for so many years?"

"He must have another purpose in keeping Anning here!!!"

boom! !

Zeng Anmin's words struck like a thunderbolt, piercing through all his memories!
