Zongwu: Storytelling makes you stronger, and female knights compete to be maids

"But it was such a poor and weak country that, with all the martial arts luck of the entire nation, gave birth to a land-based sword immortal!"

"This is Fu Cailin, who alone possesses 90% of Goguryeo's martial arts luck and single-handedly guards the entire country."

"For the people of Goguryeo, Fu Cailin was like a living god, his status so high that he even surpassed the King of Goguryeo."

"And Fu Cailin lived up to everyone's expectations, possessing exceptional talent and creating two unprecedented martial arts techniques."

"One is the 'Nine Profound Arts', an internal martial arts technique that can fully unleash the potential of the human body. It also has the effect of lightness training, and its changes are unpredictable."

"The second is the exquisite 'Yi Jian Shu', which integrates the principles of chess into the way of swordsmanship, using the principles of chess to control the edge of the sword."

"Those who practice this sword technique are particular about anticipating opportunities. Every time they strike a sword, they can predict their opponent's movements dozens of moves in advance, attacking their vital points and remaining invincible."

"With these two unique skills, Fu Cailin founded the Yijian Sect, recruiting many disciples and carefully training them. Even the children of the Goguryeo royal family competed for admission."

"It is truly rare for such a small border country to have given birth to a top sword sect like the Yijian Sect."

"And most importantly, Fu Cailin shouldered the hopes of millions of Goguryeo people, and his own destiny was closely linked to the fate of the country."

"As long as he remains in Goguryeo, the faith of the people will continue to flow into him, increasing his combat power and making him invincible forever."

"I'm afraid the martial arts heroes of the Sui Dynasty are most aware of this."

"As a neighbor of Goguryeo, the Sui Dynasty was constantly plotting to annex Goguryeo and expand its territory."

"But Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty mobilized the entire nation's military forces, launched three fierce attacks, and mobilized millions of soldiers. He won victory after victory, but each time he was defeated at the foot of the royal city."

"This is not because the Sui soldiers were unwilling to fight to the death, nor is it because the Goguryeo royal city was so impregnable."

"It's because there's a man in Goguryeo, Master Cailin of the Yijian Sect!"

"As long as he stands on the city wall with his sword in hand, even if the Sui Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, it will be difficult for them to advance further."

"Fu Cailin guards the royal city just like Wang Xianzhi guards the East Sea Wudi City. With the advantage of time and place, no one in the same realm can defeat him."

"It was because Fu Cailin blocked the Sui Dynasty's fierce offensive three times that he dragged this powerful dynasty into the quagmire."

"The Sui Dynasty, having suffered immense losses in manpower and resources from its three campaigns against Goguryeo, is now ravaged by war."

"And this is not Fu Cailin's most astonishing achievement."

"To avenge the shame of the Three Expeditions of the Great Sui Dynasty, he single-handedly entered the Great Sui martial arts world, sword in hand. From south to north, his lone sword swept across half of the martial arts world."

"He once wielded a sword to seek enlightenment in Buddhism, and personally visited the Emperor's Peak of Cihang Jingzhai. He defeated three hundred masters and defeated the master Fan Qinghui in just twenty moves."

"He also wielded his sword to challenge the demonic path, challenging the strongest from the six paths of the two sects of the Demon Sect one by one. He defeated Ziwu Sword Zuo Youxian in ten moves, forced Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan to retreat in twenty moves, and even killed Tianlian Sect's leader Anlong, who went into seclusion and dared not venture out into the world."

"As for other so-called famous sects and famous figures, they were all overwhelmed when they heard of his coming and did not dare to compete with him."

"Until the very end, Ning Daoqi, the foremost master of the Great Sui Dao sect, emerged and barely blocked Fu Cailin's sword, ending his journey of 'sweeping the Great Sui martial world.'"

"But even Ning Daoqi couldn't trap Fu Cailin. He could only watch him disappear."

"This is the land-based swordsman Fu Cailin. When he's out, he can wipe out half of the Sui Dynasty with just one sword. When he's on the defensive, he can resist the entire nation with just one sword."

"Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, he is temporarily ranked 19th on the Land Sword Immortal Ranking."

……

As Su Chen finished speaking, there was an uproar in the hall.

Nineteenth on the Land Sword Immortal List, Master Cai Lin of the Yijian Sect!

Apart from the heroes from the Sui Dynasty, few people in the martial arts world of other countries have heard of this name.

After all, martial arts exchanges between the major dynasties are rare. Even the masters of several major dynasties in the Central Plains may not know all of them, let alone the sword gods of foreign races in the border areas?

But after listening to Su Chen's story, everyone gasped in shock.

Only by mobilizing the power of an entire country can one become a land-based swordsman!

If everyone's understanding of the Earthly Immortal Realm was still very vague before, now they finally understood the heaviness and difficulty behind this realm.

Although Goguryeo was not a powerful country, it had a population of over ten million. Even if the martial arts luck of the entire country were gathered together, it could only barely create one powerful earth immortal.

There is an old saying: One general can make a thousand bones wither.

To become a terrestrial immortal, one needs to exhaust the martial arts luck of tens of millions of people, which shows how difficult it is.

After hearing Su Chen's subsequent comments, everyone deeply realized Fu Cailin's terrifying strength.

With just one man and one sword, he blocked three all-out attacks by the Sui Dynasty, dragging the vast Central Plains country into the abyss.

When attacking, he swept across half of the Sui Dynasty martial arts world with a sword, and all the holy places of Buddhism, magic, and major sects were razed to the ground by him.

What an exciting feat this is.

This is the true power of a land sword immortal!

Previously, when Su Chen commented that Bai Yujing became an earthly immortal with one sword and swept through 100,000 soldiers, everyone was already shocked.

But that was ultimately just a brief outburst of Bai Yujing.

However, land-based sword immortals like Fu Cailin can continuously exert powerful strength, and their power far exceeds that of those who have not yet truly reached the realm of sword immortals.

You must know that the status of the Sui Dynasty among all countries is in no way inferior to that of powerful countries such as the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty. It is a truly powerful dynasty.

However, such a powerful dynasty was suppressed by Fu Cailin to the point that it could hardly raise its head.

In the past, many people were puzzled as to why Heaven limited human martial arts to five realms and imposed various restrictions on those who entered the sixth realm - the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Now these people all understand.

Fu Cailin alone is enough to compete with a huge empire.

Chapter 43 ATM

If all the gods and immortals on earth in the world were free from any constraints, there would be no place for dynasties to gain a foothold, let alone ordinary people.

For a moment, everyone in the hall whispered:

"Goguryeo? I've never heard of this country. I never thought such a small country could produce a land-based sword immortal."

"Fu Cailin possesses 90% of Goguryeo's martial arts luck, yet he's only ranked 19th on the Sword Immortal Ranking. How terrifying are those ranked before him?"

"For a small country like Goguryeo, being able to cultivate a land-based sword immortal is already the limit. Normally, it is difficult for even a master of the Heavenly Realm to be born."

"It's fortunate that Goguryeo has a land-based sword immortal like Fu Cailin guarding it. Otherwise, with its national strength, it would have been annexed by the Sui Dynasty long ago."

"The deterrent power of the Land Sword Immortal is truly astonishing. Now I finally understand why Wang Xianzhi was able to defend the East Sea Martial Emperor City alone."

"Now I fully realize how terrifying the land immortals are. Ordinary armies are simply vulnerable in front of them."

"I think if there were no heavenly restraint, Fu Cailin alone could have slaughtered hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty."

"These top-level sword immortals do need some restraint. Otherwise, if they could easily kill hundreds of thousands of people, this world would have turned into a purgatory long ago."

"Yang Guang is too stubborn. He insists on clinging to a small country like Goguryeo."

"Aren't Cihang Jingzhai and Yingui Sect the top sects in the Buddhist and demonic realms of the Great Sui Dynasty? I never thought they would be wiped out by Fu Cailin in one fell swoop."

"I myself come from the martial arts world of the Great Sui Dynasty. When Fu Cailin went north, it was indeed a bloody storm, and everyone was terrified."

"Fortunately, Ning Sanren came out in time to stop him, otherwise the entire Great Sui martial arts world would have been destroyed by him alone."

In the seventh box on the west side of the third floor.

Shi Feixuan, dressed in green, stood behind the pearl curtain and sighed softly, "Master Yijian, Shi Cailin, if it weren't for him, the people of the Great Sui would have to endure countless hardships."

As she traveled from south to north, she witnessed countless displaced people, which was in stark contrast to the peaceful and prosperous scene of the people in Beiliang.

Yang Guang naturally cannot escape responsibility for the end of the Sui Dynasty.

But in the final analysis, the three expeditions to Goguryeo consumed too much of the foundation of the Sui Dynasty.

The root cause of the failure of these three expeditions to Goguryeo was Fu Cailin.

If it weren't for Fu Cailin, the Sui Dynasty would have been able to annex Goguryeo in one battle and occupy all of its territory. The Sui Dynasty would surely be a country of peace and prosperity today.

"Humph! This Fu Cailin is truly arrogant. He challenges all martial arts sects with just one sword and sweeps away all heroes in the world."

"As long as the Great Sui Dynasty persists, one day we will make him pay with blood."

Another man in the private room said indignantly.

This person is none other than Hou Xibai, the heir of the famous Huajian School of the Sui Dynasty, known as the Romantic Young Master in the martial arts world.

What people in the martial arts world fear the most is that he has a master with extraordinary magical powers - the evil king Shi Zhixuan.

However, Hou Xibai's temperament is very different from Shi Zhixuan's. He is more free and easy-going, and especially likes to copy the faces of beautiful women.

When I first saw Shi Feixuan at Jiangling Ferry that day, I was deeply attracted by her beauty.

Even though he was rejected many times by Shi Feixuan, he still insisted on following her all the way north and took the initiative to cover all expenses of the journey.

To put it in today's terms, it is simply an ATM machine.

But even though he was so free and unrestrained, he was extremely angry about Fu Cailin's solo battle against the Sui Dynasty martial arts world.

This shows how outrageous Fu Cailin's actions were back then.

The second elegant room on the north side of the third floor.

Lian Xing exclaimed: "Is this the momentum of a land immortal going all out? Even a country would find it difficult to resist, it's really terrifying!" Three expeditions, a million troops, were actually stopped by one person!

If Su Chen hadn't said it, she would never have believed it.

Not to mention that later Fu Cailin challenged the entire Sui Dynasty martial arts world alone with a sword, taking arrogance to the extreme.

This is not just a matter of being on an equal footing with the imperial power, it is simply bullying the imperial court.

Yao Yue frowned, feeling puzzled and unable to help but ask:

"Mr. Su, Yao Yue has something unclear."

"I heard you say last time that the five realms of martial arts are the limits of what Heaven can tolerate. Once you exceed this realm, you will be restricted by Heaven."

"Like Bai Yujing, the Great Dragon Leader of the Azure Dragon Society, who entered the Earthly Immortal Realm with just a single sword strike and swept through a hundred thousand Imperial Guards, yet his luck was slashed by the Heavenly Dao."

"And this Fu Cailin blocked the Great Sui's attack three times, slaughtering countless soldiers, far exceeding the results of the battle at Baiyujing."

"Not to mention that he single-handedly entered the martial arts world of the Sui Dynasty with a sword, and defeated half of the martial arts masters."

"Why hasn't Heaven punished such audacious and reckless behavior?"
