Martial Arts Crossover: The Sweeping Monk of Wudang? That's our patriarch!

He's an immortal! He truly is an immortal!

There truly is a path to heaven in this world!

Although they had witnessed Lin Daochen's extraordinary abilities in the past—such as flying through the clouds and turning stones into gold—they had always remained skeptical. No matter how certain their guesses were, they were still just looking at flowers through a fog.

Now, it's been personally confirmed, and it's absolutely true!

"Thank you, Master!"

The five men stood up in unison, bowed deeply, and their voices boomed like bells.

They adopted an extremely humble posture, and their respect was genuine.

They were rulers of their respective countries, wielding immense power and influence, yet when faced with truly extraordinary beings, even the most revered emperors were but a handful of dust.

Lin Daochen accepted the greetings calmly, his expression unchanging. Only after everyone was seated did he slowly begin to speak:

"Please sit down."

"Next, I will tell you about the Immortal Path."

His voice wasn't loud, yet it seemed to carry a thunderous power.

What is the path to immortality? It seeks to defy fate and change one's lifespan, seize the power of heaven and earth, and break through the boundaries of life and death.

He slowly recounted what he knew, analyzing it meticulously. However, regarding cultivation levels, he only mentioned the Nascent Soul stage. He remained silent about anything higher.

After all, he himself is still in the foundation building stage, and drawing a pie in the sky to satisfy his hunger is meaningless.

What he really wanted them to understand was the causal chain between spiritual energy and spiritual practice.

He wanted them to understand that the "Great Dao Longevity Manual" was not a manual of techniques, but a key—a key to unlocking the world's upgrade.

He can force implementation, but he prefers these people to do it voluntarily.

Only when they realize that this is related to whether they can break through the bottleneck of Qi cultivation and truly embark on the path to immortality will they do their best.

"I understand what you mean, Master."

Ying Zheng's eyes were piercing as he said in a deep voice:

"In other words, only when all people in the world cultivate the Great Dao Longevity Technique together, and gather their willpower and spiritual energy, can the depletion of the spiritual veins of this world be reversed."

"Only by waiting can we go further."

"Is that so?"

Lin Daochen nodded: "Exactly."

"If the spiritual energy does not recover, even if I personally teach you the attack techniques, you will only be able to reach the sixth level of Qi Refining in your entire lives, and you will not even be able to reach the later stages."

"A higher realm? Don't even think about it."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty frowned slightly and hesitated before speaking:

"My lord, I have a concern—as the ancient saying goes, 'A knight-errant uses martial arts to break the law.' Nowadays, it is difficult to govern those who practice martial arts. If the methods of cultivation are spread among the common people, and everyone becomes an immortal, wouldn't the world descend into chaos?"

As soon as he said this, four pairs of eyes swept over him, all filled with sarcasm.

Ying Zheng's eyes were indifferent, Zheng De's lips curled slightly, Kou Zhong scoffed, and even the usually composed Xu Xiao had a hint of disdain in his eyes.

The Song Dynasty was indeed still the same old Song Dynasty—spineless, cowardly, and short-sighted.

They were driven to the brink of national annihilation by the Yuan cavalry, and they had no reason to be wronged.

"Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty," Xu Xiao said calmly, but his tone left no room for doubt, "There is no need for you to trouble yourself."

"The Great Dao Longevity Manual can be disseminated in stages. We will first cultivate the higher levels, grasp the core essence, and once our foundation is solid, we will gradually release the methods of circulating qi."

"The strong remain strong, and the weak depend on each other—that is the order."

"Suppressing the people in an attempt to maintain stability is nothing more than cutting off one's own arm."

"The Emperor of Northern Liang is absolutely right!" Ying Zheng immediately replied, his aura imposing.

"Moreover, the Master has just made it clear that he will only teach the people the methods of cultivation, not the supernatural powers of battle."

"With our combined forces firmly in our grasp, high above the clouds, what is there to fear about losing control?"

Emperor Zhengde nodded in agreement: "The Northern Liang and the Qin Emperor share the same view, and I have no objection."

Kou Zhong finally laughed and said, "What's there to be afraid of? With our grandmaster uncle here, with Wudang here, even if the sky falls, it won't be their turn to hold it up."

The four men's words were like knives, each sentence pressing down on the heart.

The Song emperor's expression changed several times, but he finally lowered his head and remained silent, never speaking again.

Lin Daochen didn't say anything more.

In the plan he had previously explained to Zhang Sanfeng, Wudang was high above the heavens, suppressing the destiny of the world. How could there be any turmoil or chaos in the world?

"Everything has been explained clearly."

His gaze swept over Ying Zheng and the others, his tone calm yet authoritative: "You lot, stay on Wudang Mountain for now and focus on cultivating the 'Great Dao Longevity Technique.' I will personally guide you, helping you quickly break through the first level of Qi Refining, and then teach you a few killing techniques—after that, we will descend the mountain and officially implement this offensive method."

Although Wudang has removed its Mountain and River Gathering Spirit Array, the spiritual energy here remains unparalleled in the world. With his guidance, it will only be a matter of time before Ying Zheng and the others embark on the path of immortality.

"We obey the True Man's decree!" the crowd responded in unison.

Their hearts burned with fervor and gratitude surged like a tide. They knew better than anyone what this certificate of cultivation qualification meant.

Before leaving, Ying Zheng suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Master, I have a request to make—"

"My eldest son, Fusu, may he become a disciple of the Wudang Sect?"

He pondered deeply. The great trend of cultivating immortality was imminent, and in the future, only Wudang would be the true immortal giant. And if the Great Qin wanted to forever rule its land, it must be connected with Wudang by blood.

Looking at the five great dynasties—Kou Zhong, the ruler of the Great Wu, was originally a disciple of Wudang, and the crown prince of the Northern Liang also came from there; Wudang Mountain was located within the territory of the Great Ming. Only the Great Qin and the Great Song were separated from this immortal realm by a thin veil.

Before he could finish speaking, Emperor Zhengde immediately chimed in, "Master! My son also wishes to join Wudang; please take him in!"

Immediately afterwards, the emperor of the Song Dynasty also made a statement.

Kou Zhong and Xu Xiao exchanged a glance, and sighed inwardly: Fortunately, they joined the sect in their early years. Now it seems that they really hit the nail on the head.

"You can go to my junior brother Zhang Sanfeng about this," Lin Daochen said calmly. "He is the sect leader."

After a brief pause, he added, "However, in my opinion, there's nothing wrong with it."

His tone was calm, yet it was as if he had spoken the truth.

Ying Zheng and the others were immediately shaken and thanked him in unison, "Thank you, Master!"

With that one sentence, the outcome was decided.

Everyone knows that although Zhang Sanfeng is the sect leader, the one who truly holds the reins of power in Wudang is the Foundation Establishment cultivator standing before us.

really.

After they left the Sutra Repository, they found Zhang Sanfeng and explained their purpose. He agreed without hesitation.

From then on, the five emperors stayed in Wudang and secluded themselves to cultivate the "Great Dao Longevity Technique".

Time flies like an arrow.

The first person to knock on the gate to immortality and step into the first level of Qi Refining was none other than Qin Shi Huang—Ying Zheng.

Not surprising.

This "Great Dao Longevity Manual" allows those who crave immortality to cultivate at an astonishing speed. And among the five emperors, who was the most obsessed with immortality? None other than Qin Shi Huang.

On the day he broke through the barrier, he went straight to the Sutra Repository.

"Ying Zheng thanks the Master!"

Upon seeing Lin Daochen, he immediately bowed respectfully, showing utmost sincerity.

At this moment, his blood and energy surged like a mighty river, his spirit and energy solidified as if they had been reborn. His life level had already leaped forward; even though he was only at the early stage of Qi Refining, he had already glimpsed the boundless road ahead.

Although it was only a single step to ascend to immortality, I already knew the vastness of heaven and earth.

Therefore, he felt not only gratitude but also reverence for Lin Daochen, who had introduced him to the profession.

"Sit down." Lin Daochen nodded slightly and raised his hand to touch the futon in front of him.

Ying Zheng took his seat, and Lin Daochen lightly waved his sleeve, revealing an ancient manual in his hand.

"This is a combat method tailored for you. Take it and study it."

"Thank you, Master!" Ying Zheng accepted the gift with both hands, his heart warmed.

Those who practice the "Great Dao Longevity Technique" and those who do not will have vastly different combat abilities.

After expressing his gratitude, he rose and cupped his hands in farewell: "I came today not only to express my thanks, but also to take my leave."

"Set off immediately and return to the Great Qin."

"Upon returning to the capital, we will dedicate the entire nation's resources to promoting the Great Dao Longevity Manual—this is the most important task of our Great Qin."

After formally entering the immortal realm and witnessing the profound mysteries of the immortal path, Ying Zheng's desire for immortality and power was completely ignited.

Without Lin Daochen needing to say more, he had already made promoting the "Great Dao Longevity Technique" and advancing the world's progress his top priority.

"it is good."

"I will have my nephew Lianzhou lead a group to assist you."

"If there are any difficult situations, he will handle them."

"In short, anyone who dares to obstruct the popularization of the Great Dao Longevity Manual will be killed in one word."

Lin Daochen's tone was calm, yet it revealed an undeniable killing intent.

This matter is the core of his plan; anyone who dares to cross him will be executed without mercy.

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency," Ying Zheng said solemnly, "Within the Qin territory, no one dares to disobey this decree!"

This not only concerns the well-being of all people, but also his own chance to embark on the path to immortality. Anyone who tries to stop him will have their entire family wiped out!

After bidding farewell to Lin Daochen, Ying Zheng immediately set off, leading his men away from Wudang Mountain.

Following closely behind, the rulers of the other four dynasties successively broke through to the Qi Refining stage.

They visited the library one by one to express their gratitude to Lin Daochen. Lin Daochen generously shared his knowledge, teaching each of them a practical tactical method.

A moment later, all four descended the mountain and returned to their respective royal courts.

With the triumphant return of the five emperors, a sweeping wave of cultivation across the land was launched.

Everyone knows that this transformation is not just a blessing for all, but the beginning of a reshaping of the world. Whoever seizes the initiative will stand at the pinnacle of the new order.

Therefore, all the major dynasties implemented it with all their might and with swift and decisive action. Any dissent was suppressed with iron fist!

A certain prefecture of the Qin Dynasty.

At dawn, yamen runners lined up and posted notices in front of the bulletin board.

dong dong dong-

The sound of gongs echoed through the streets and the market.

"Come and see! An incredible opportunity has arrived!"

"Those who aspire to immortality and longevity, come and see!"

As soon as the shouts began, the crowd surged forward like a tide.

"Celestial magic? Really?"

In no time, the streets were packed with people.

At this moment, a clerk dressed in a scholar's robe stepped forward, stood on the high platform, and loudly proclaimed the imperial edict:

Listen carefully!

"Master Daochen of Wudang Mountain, with a compassionate heart, is determined to spread the supreme immortal techniques throughout the world—"

Before he finished speaking, the entire audience held their breath.

He was an excellent orator, and while giving his speech, he portrayed Lin Daochen as a true immortal who transcended the mortal world, and also praised Ying Zheng as an emperor who was born in response to the times.

Despite the excessive praise, no key information was omitted:

The path to immortality is real. Dao Chen Zhenren created the "Great Dao Longevity Technique" and is now teaching it to the people of the world free of charge!

Anyone who wishes to cultivate can obtain a secret manual from the government office.

Illiterate? No problem! Every day at noon, the schoolteacher sits in front of the yamen and personally recites the entire text of the attack law!

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Everyone is stupid.

"Master Dao Chen...is he going to teach immortal techniques to everyone?"

"You can get a cultivation manual right here at the government office? For free?"

The news struck like a thunderbolt, hitting the very depths of my soul.

They stood frozen in place, their minds blank, as if the door of destiny had suddenly been opened.

The clerks and yamen runners were already used to it.

They themselves were just as stunned when they first heard it.

After a long while, the crowd finally erupted in cheers!

"A stroke of good fortune! My ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke! Even a lowly commoner like me has the chance to ascend to immortality!"

"Dao Chen, the Living Bodhisattva! This is a true immortal who saves the world!"

"To share even immortal techniques—such magnanimity shines as brightly as the sun and moon!"

"This kindness and virtue will never be forgotten, generation after generation!"

Countless people were moved to tears, knelt down and kowtowed, overwhelmed with gratitude.

Suddenly, someone whispered, "...Is Dao Chen Zhenren really a deity? Or is he just a fraud?"

Before he could finish speaking, the gazes around him were like knives piercing his skin.

"Are you courting death! How dare you slander Dao Chen Zhenren!"

"What do you know! A true immortal descending to earth, ascending to heaven from nowhere, turning stones into gold—aren't those all miracles?"

"This threatens the very foundation of the nation! My lord! This person harbors treacherous intentions; please strip him of his cultivation qualification!"

"Get out! You're not worthy to hear the Dharma! You're not worthy to cultivate immortality!"

Roars erupted one after another, and the man was instantly dragged away, drowned out by the crowd's fury.

Faced with the angry glares of the crowd, the guy who had dared to question them earlier turned ashen-faced, trembled all over, and almost forgot to breathe. He didn't dare to say another word.

"Enough!" the clerk shouted, silencing the noise. "Master Dao Chen has decreed—education should be provided to all, regardless of background!"

"Anyone who wishes to cultivate immortality, regardless of social status, may go to the government office to obtain a manual of cultivation techniques."

"Now, those who desire the path to immortality, come and claim it!"

Before he could finish speaking, the crowd erupted.

"I want one! Give me one!"

"Me too! Let me in!"

Shouts rose like a tidal wave as countless people rushed toward the government office, and the scene instantly spiraled out of control, nearly causing a stampede.

"Line up! Everyone line up for me!"

Fortunately, preparations were made in advance. Squads of yamen runners and constables quickly formed ranks, clearing the way with long sticks and forcibly creating order. Only then could the people barely form a long queue, each one receiving the thin but incredibly heavy "Great Dao Longevity Manual" with trembling hands.

This is not an isolated case.

The same scene was playing out in almost every prefecture and county of the Qin Dynasty, and even in every state under heaven, at almost the same time.

The entire world was shaken!

Lin Daochen's name, and the name of Wudang, ascended to godhood overnight, becoming an unshakable presence in the hearts of millions of people.
