While writing a diary at Zongwu, Wang Yuyan falls in love with someone else.

After interrupting Zhao Qiying and asking her some detailed questions, Jiang Sishui was dumbfounded.

Holy crap! Isn't this just an enlarged version of China from my past life?!

The Song Dynasty was located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain.

The Sui Dynasty was located in the southeastern hills.

The Ming Dynasty was located on the North China Plain.

The Qing Dynasty was located in the Northeast Plain.

The Qin region is located on the Loess Plateau, the Hexi Corridor, and the Tanggula Mountains.

The Yuan Dynasty was located in the Inner Mongolian grasslands, the Tianshan Mountains, the Kunlun Mountains, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Smaller kingdoms like Dali occupied areas such as the Land of Abundance and the Hengduan Mountains.

While not entirely accurate, those are roughly the locations. (Dislike/Dislike)

Aren't the names of those states similar to the abbreviations of many provinces in the previous Chinese kingdom?

Of course, this comparison isn't entirely accurate. For example, the Southern Prefecture of the Sui Dynasty was actually the Yue and Gui regions of the previous era.

However, this gave Jiang Sishui a very direct impression of the world. (Brick)

Zhao Qiying continued, "In fact, every dynasty can be seen as a martial arts holy land, and numerous first-, second-, and third-rate sects live within their spheres of influence."

"Of course, while the dynasty is powerful, it doesn't have absolute control. The martial world is unfathomable, full of hidden talents, so many sects don't actually respect it."

"These sects establish their own schools and, when introducing themselves to outsiders, they never say 'Great Song Dynasty Wudang Sect,' but rather 'Ezhou Wudang Sect.'"

"In other words, these sects have a far deeper concept of recognizing state boundaries than they do of recognizing the dynasty."

"If a sect adds 'dynasty' before its name, it's tantamount to declaring its submission to that dynasty."

Hearing this, Jiang Sishui was somewhat puzzled: "The Central Region only has six great dynasties, don't other forces have any experts above the Celestial Realm?"

"Of course there are."

"Then why are there only six dynasties?"

"My father told me that the reason the dynasty was a dynasty was because each of its six founding emperors possessed a divine artifact, which they used to suppress the nation's fate. Furthermore, these six divine artifacts are said to possess boundless power." Qi

"A divine artifact?!" Jiang Sishui was shocked.

What is this strange thing again? Does such a thing exist in the world of martial arts?

No, some martial arts worlds with terrifying combat power do indeed have incredibly powerful and miraculous beings.

For example, the spirit mirror in the TV series "The Legend of the Spirit Mirror" was very strange and spiritual.

There are also some magical weapons with fantasy elements in "Storm Riders", and the "Eight Directions Sun-Shooting Bow" and "Four Symbols Sun-Shooting Arrow" in "The Magic Sword and the Chess of Life and Death".

Thinking about this, Jiang Sishui felt even more strongly that she couldn't afford to be reckless.

Given Zhao Qiying's strength and status, if she knows all these things, then just how huge is the "iceberg" hidden beneath the surface of the sea?

"Because of the six divine artifacts, the six dynasties are the supreme dynasties?" Jiang Sishui understood somewhat.

Zhao Qiying nodded.

"Did the Song Dynasty have any conflicts with neighboring Liao and Western Xia states?"

"The borders of the nations have never truly been peaceful."

"How dare those small and medium-sized countries provoke the imperial dynasty? Aren't they afraid that the imperial dynasty will suppress them with its divine weapon?"

“I’ve had this question too. My father once guessed that although the divine artifact was very powerful and could easily kill celestial beings, it must have been subject to some kind of limitation.”

Jiang Sishui was taken aback when she heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, she also felt that it made sense.

If divine artifacts could truly be used anytime, anywhere, then the Central Region wouldn't be in its current state of "six superpowers and many strong forces," and the dynasty wouldn't be unable to subdue even the sects within its territory.

However, this power structure is actually a good thing for Jiang Sishui.

Only in a chaotic situation of mutual opposition can he rise to power. If the whole world is dominated by one faction, then he will have to keep a low profile for the time being.

"Those small and medium-sized countries don't have any beings above the heavens, right?"

"They probably don't, but they must at least possess the power to contend with the celestial beings, otherwise they couldn't establish a nation."

Jiang Sishui nodded and fell into deep thought.

After understanding the general structure of this world, he asked, "Miss Zhao, how are the realms of martial artists divided?"

Zhao Qiying had anticipated his question and answered without hesitation: "From lowest to highest: Acquired, Innate, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, Martial Golden Core, Martial Primordial Spirit, Shattered."

"Martial Arts Golden Core? Martial Arts Primordial Spirit?" Jiang Sishui asked, puzzled.

"The Golden Core of Martial Arts is the realm of a Celestial Being. I don't know the specifics, and neither does my father."

"The martial arts primordial spirit is a demigod, and it is said that the primordial spirit can leave the body, making it extremely powerful."

"As for the final Shattered Realm, that is a realm that exists only in imagination. Throughout history, no one has ever been heard of reaching it."

"Furthermore, the six major realms below the Shattered Realm are each divided into nine levels. The first three levels are the initial stage, the middle three levels are the intermediate stage, and the last three levels are the late stage."

Jiang Sishui suddenly realized, and then asked all the questions that had been bothering her: "How are martial arts ranks divided? How are the depth of comprehension and proficiency distinguished?"

"The internal and external cultivation methods of a Grandmaster, as well as the corresponding martial arts techniques, are all called 'divine skills'."

"Based on this inference, celestial beings correspond to sacred scriptures, and demigods correspond to celestial achievements."

"Those below the Grandmaster level are simply called martial arts manuals; there's no special name for them."

"As for the depth and proficiency of martial arts comprehension, they are ranked from low to high as follows: beginner, entry level, minor achievement, major achievement, and perfection."

As Zhao Qiying finished speaking, Jiang Sishui's eyes lit up, and a sudden realization flashed in them.

021 This Wudang is terrifying.

He recalled his "Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique".

"The Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique" is a celestial skill, corresponding to demigod-level destructive power.

Based on his previous speculation, one thousand, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, and one million experience points were watersheds. Combined with what Zhao Qiying said, each major realm was divided into nine levels...

Jiang Sishui couldn't help but wonder if, when the "Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique" reached its maximum level of nine million experience points, it could slay any demigod.

One million is actually the leap from great achievement to perfection.

Based on this, it can be deduced that a million perfected beings can kill demigods, a hundred thousand great-achievers can kill celestial beings, and ten thousand minor-achievers can kill grandmasters.

One thousand is just the entry level. With his current experience of one thousand two hundred, can he kill a Grandmaster level one?

Reaching two thousand means you've reached the second level of Grandmaster.

Three thousand, Grandmaster Level 3...

If you calculate it that way, then the system's rewards are pretty good!

It's astonishing that an ordinary person could possess the power to kill a grandmaster in just three days.

The only drawback is that he currently lacks internal energy and true qi.

However, once you reach Leigushan, all these problems will be solved.

Wu Yazi's skill was enough to allow him to ascend to the heavens in one step. Even if the system offered a reward of true qi, it would still be faster than directly "stealing" his account.

Suddenly understanding all her previous troubles, Jiang Sishui felt a sense of relief and clarity.

After thinking for a moment, he asked again, "Miss Zhao, I wonder which sects and masters are more famous in the martial arts world?"

This is an attempt to guess, through Zhao Qiying's answer, how many martial arts works this world incorporates.

Zhao Qiying pondered for a moment and said, "There are countless forces in the martial arts world, but the most famous are Shaolin, Wudang, and the Beggars' Sect."

"Among them, Shaolin has a long history and was the earliest to be established. Its temple is full of masters, and its lay disciples are all over the world."

"Wudang has only been established for a little over a hundred years, but its prestige is in no way inferior to that of Shaolin. The Supreme Master Zhang is said to be one of the strongest people in the world, comparable to Bodhidharma, the founder of Shaolin."

"In addition, whether it is the junior disciples whom Master Zhang accepted on behalf of his master, or the second and third generations, they are all outstanding talents."

"Zhang Wuji, Geng Yujing, Zhuo Yihang, and Yun Feiyang, these four young men became famous throughout the world and were hailed by the martial arts world as the 'Four Little Heavenly Kings' of the third generation of Wudang, and were said to be promising talents."

"As for the Beggars' Sect, its overall strength is the weakest of the three, and it was also the last to be established, only a little over seventy years ago, but it has the largest number of members."

"The Beggars' Clan leader Zhuang Yifang was a true genius. At the beginning of the clan's establishment, he created two divine skills, the 'Dog-Beating Stick Technique' and the 'Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms,' which dominated the martial arts world for decades."

"Zhuang Yifang has not appeared in the martial arts world for many years. The Beggars' Clan is now jointly led by a deputy leader of the headquarters and four major leaders of the four branches."

"By the way, Qiao Feng, the leader of the Eastern Azure Dragon branch, is a hero among men, with outstanding talent, and is as famous as Murong Fu of Yanziwu in Taihu Lake."

"Some people once observed the appearances of these two men and said that one resembled a lion and the other a phoenix."

At this point, Zhao Qiying subconsciously glanced at Jiang Sishui.

She didn't know if Murong Fu resembled a phoenix, but she felt that Jiang Sishui, who had a scholarly air about her, was somewhat similar.

Jiang Sishui didn't notice the strange look in her eyes; he was completely bewildered at that moment.

The Four Little Heavenly Kings of Wudang... What an impressive title!

Zhang Wuji, the male protagonist of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".
