Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 451: Every moment of time in the chaos of the world is so urgent!
[After you removed the cold from Madam Ruan, heat came out of her head. She held up the bronze mirror and looked left and right. Her originally protruding copper bell eyes gradually returned to their normal size, and her eyes were filled with joy.]

[She smiled and imitated the way the servants in the mansion saluted and saluted you.]

【“Thank you, sir!”】

[Wutong called you to eat, and she excitedly shuttled between the kitchens, carefully carrying the steaming dishes to the stone table in the courtyard. Wutong specially prepared a small stool and bowls and chopsticks for her, but she was still a little shy and didn't dare to sit opposite you, so she just sat next to Wutong.]

[She used to eat fish and shrimps to fill her stomach. Although the taste was not good, it could fill her stomach.]

[These days, Madam Ruan followed Wutong and tried almost all kinds of food in the streets and alleys of Bianjing. At first, when Wutong held her hand and walked through the streets, she felt a little embarrassed, but later she got used to it.]

[Because of you, Wutong has never been welcomed in the mansion. For many years, only Luya was willing to get close to her. Now that you have offended Madam Zhao and Madam Yuan, no servant dares to set foot in your courtyard.]

[Now that Madam Ruan has joined the courtyard, the happiest person is Wutong. ]

[You looked at Wutong and Madam Ruan, and a smile appeared on the corner of your mouth.]

[Another month has passed in a flash!]

[It was the hottest time of July, but the Xie family was shrouded in an inexplicable depression.]

[In the Grand View Garden, after hearing the bad news about Xie Ling, Old Lady Xie has been bedridden for several days. The ladies also get angry over trivial matters. The maids and servants even walk on tiptoe and speak as softly as mosquitoes. The huge mansion is so quiet that you can hear the sound of falling leaves.]

[This oppression is not limited to Xie Mansion!]

[The entire Bianjing city seemed to be shrouded in an invisible dark cloud. The most eye-catching thing was the war report from the south——]

[After the Red Eye Army occupied Jiangnan Road, they marched north only three days later and took Shannan Road directly.]

[There were so many people who defected along the way, claiming to have 600,000 soldiers. What was even more shocking was that the government troops actually collapsed at the sight of the enemy, and often the generals defending the city had already abandoned their armor and fled before the Red Eye Army arrived.]

[This is such an overwhelming force that it is beyond the expectations of the officials in the court. ]

[No one thinks this is a simple rebellion anymore.]

[Now Prime Minister Su has made the final decision in the cabinet, and the Xue and Zhao families will lead two elite armies of 300,000 to join the Mobei Army. The army is like a dark cloud pressing on the border, with a total of 600,000 people.]

[Another 200,000 reinforcements from various states and prefectures set out one after another, totaling 800,000 strong troops, with flags covering the sun and drums shaking the sky, heading straight for Shannan.]

[Most of the teachers and students of the academy were also dispatched, preparing for a decisive battle with the Akame Army in Shannan Road.]

[The academy and the government of Da Qi, which had been unrelated for a long time, finally united again. ]

[The Shannan Road is a thousand miles of plains with no strategic locations to defend, so it is bound to be a head-on fight.]

[On the other hand, the Red Eye Army is mostly made up of hungry civilians with pale faces and skinny bodies, ragged clothes, and simple weapons. On the other hand, the imperial court, in addition to the 800,000-man army, also has martial arts masters of the upper three realms from the academy and the nine major surnames.]

[With such a huge contrast, it would seem like a sure win for anyone. ]

[As the news spread, the haze that had enveloped Bianjing for many days finally dissipated, the streets were filled with laughter again, and business at the West Wing became lively again.]

[Zhuge Jian and Zhang Shizai, under the order of Prime Minister Su and the Academy, will set off for Jiangnan Road tomorrow.]

[Today, Zhuge Jian brought Xie Yuan, Zhang Shizai brought his beloved daughter Zhang Yunzhi, and the group stepped into this quiet courtyard. ]

[It has been raining heavily and cloudy in Bianjing these past few days, but today the sun finally came out. ]

[In the courtyard, under the sycamore tree!]

[“In just three months, the situation has turned out to be just as Master Guan predicted.” Zhang Shizai stroked his beard and sighed, “The Red Eye Army has spread like wildfire, and the whole world is in shock.”]

[When he returned from Zehu, he had visited the courtyard. At that time, he was skeptical when he heard Xie Guan talk about this matter. Now, looking at the falling sycamore leaves on the stone table, he couldn't help but think of what the young man said that day. Now it has come true. The Red Eye Army has become a disaster. ]

[“Ban Sheng is just a small village head.” Zhuge Jian said in a deep voice, “How could a lowly official who manages a hundred households stir up such a huge wave.”]

[“Times create heroes, heroes also create times, and heroes emerge in troubled times.”]

[“After Ban Sheng conquered Jiangnan, he did not commit arson, murder, looting, or murder. This shows his prestige in the army and his strict discipline.”]

[“Among the methods, many powerful families in Jiangnan were liquidated, the weak were supported to take the position, and the gentry from other places were attracted.”]

[“Clearing out the powerful, supporting the poor, bringing in foreign tribes to balance the locals, and then using the old Red Eyes to sit in the center.” Zhuge Jian murmured, “This method of both attacking and pulling is easy to say, but difficult to do. It is not something a mere village head can do... It is the method of an emperor.”]

[Zhuge Jian was taught by three masters. Although he was upright in his official duties, he was very familiar with the rules. He was flawless in his official duties and was well versed in the art of checks and balances.]

【Zhang Shizai was a very outspoken person. Otherwise, how could he be demoted to Zehu when he was born into the Zhang family, one of the nine major surnames, had a background in a scholar school, and had outstanding abilities?】

[If Xie Yuan had come here on a normal day, he would have definitely praised Ban Sheng. He deserves to be called a grassroots hero. In addition, this "Red-eyed Heavenly King" is also a supporter of the King of Yan.]

【Xie Yuan half-jokingly wanted to become sworn brothers with this Ban Sheng.】

[Now, my father Xie Ling has suffered a great defeat and his whereabouts are unknown. The Red Eye Army has suddenly become the enemy who killed my father. ]

【Xie Yuan has become much more stable and mature in the past month.】

[Zhuge Jian smiled and said, "This time when we go to Shannan Road, an army of 800,000 will fight against an army of 600,000 Red Eyes. What do you think, Master Guan? Among them, there are masters dispatched by the Nine Great Families and the Academy, including Yangshen cultivators and those at the Ninth Realm of Martial Arts."]

[“Master Guan, do you still think that the Red Eye Army will capture Bianjing?”]

【Zhang Shizai is also curious. It seems that he is trying to understand your thoughts at this time.】

[You thought about it, and remembered what Master Dong's adopted son said, that Master Dong had already left Bian Jing and joined the Red Eye Army.]

[You know this news, so it is impossible that the fourth master Su Xiang and the third master of the academy do not know it? ]

[What is Su Xiang planning? ]

[Mr. San seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with him, and quietly pushed the situation forward!]

[You then said, "Many people are bound to die in Shannan Road. The Red Eye Army dared to do this, so they should have a countermeasure."]

[Zhuge Jian was silent for a while. The Red-Eyed Heavenly King was a master at using troops. He couldn't be a reckless person.]

[However, with such a large army approaching, even the Sui Dynasty would have to mobilize the entire country. ]

[Where does the Red Eye Army get the confidence from!]

【Three rounds of tea!】

[Zhang Shizai suddenly turned the topic to the north: "The Great Sui Dynasty is now also in turmoil. The Sui Emperor underestimated the Three True One Sect after all——"]

[“Although the Three True Ones do not get involved in government affairs or forge weapons, they have the heritage of the thousand-year-old Taoism.”]

[“When Mount Zhongnan activated the mountain protection formation, the entire mountain range seemed to be thrown into the ocean and disappeared in full view of the public.”] [He raised his eyes to the northern sky, “Now the Three True Dao soldiers and the Sui army are confronting each other in Enye. Whether this battle overthrows the Liu clan temple or weakens the Three True Dao lineage, it will be a major event that will shock the world and even future generations.”]

【Xie Yuan frowned and asked, "Uncle, isn't Emperor Sui destroying his own Great Wall? And the Three True One Sect doesn't seem to be involved in the court."】

[Zhuge Jian laughed and said, "The Great Sui Dynasty was supported by the Three True Ones, but now they want to destroy the Three True Ones as soon as possible. People despise them, but there is a reason for this!"]

[“But there is no free golden elixir in the world, and there is no free throne either.”]

[“The Three True One Sect is the Taoist tradition left by the King of Yan. Who is Lu Shenzhou? He is the person who was revered as the Great Ancestor of Yan by later generations. The “Essentials of Governing the North” he left behind is a treasured book of the Three True Ones, but it has always been regarded as a banned book by Da Qi, Changshengtian, and the Buddhist Kingdom.”]

[“The Three Truths is the state religion of the Great Sui Dynasty. This book is very popular in the Great Sui Dynasty. It is hard for the Holy Emperor of Sui Dynasty to not adopt the national policy in it.”]

[“Of course, it is also because of this that, with the help of this book, within a hundred years, the national strength of the Sui Dynasty has been comparable to that of the Qi Dynasty, which was founded a thousand years ago.”]

[“But this book was written by the King of Yan. It is a book for the public, not a book for a family.”]

Zhuge Jian looked at Xie Yuan and said, "You are the Holy Emperor of Sui, but if all the land in the world is turned over to the public, the imperial examinations will not be conducted regardless of family background, and even the emperor's expenses must be discussed by the three provinces."

[“What kind of emperor is this? Not to mention the Emperor of Sui who was known for his great talent and strategy, and who controlled thousands of immortals in the fairyland in his dreams.”]

[When you hear this, a hint of thought appears in your eyes.]

[Zhuge Jian also mentioned something, "The battle for the Great Khan of Changshengtian in the north has come to an end. The third prince secretly supported by the Xu family of the Golden Family... Now on the Muran grassland, the flags of the three royal tents have covered half of the sky."]

【Zhang Yunzhi said, "The Southern Buddhist Nation, the Eastern Holy Sect, is also welcoming the first Buddhist election in a century."】

[Zhang Shizai looked solemn and sighed: "The world is in chaos, and the four great powers are facing the danger of disintegration."]

[After some small talk, they each left. ]

[When Zhuge Jian was about to leave, he asked, "Master Guan, have you ever deduced where your father, Marquis Dingyuan, is?"]

You shook your head.

[Zhuge Jian suddenly reminded, "Be careful of your father!"]

[You were stunned and thought for a moment, but you also said, "It is possible to be in danger of death on Shannan Road. Please be careful and act with caution, gentlemen."]

[Zhuge Jian nodded, "Sir, you gave me the same instructions today."]

[You look at the backs of the people leaving. The Red Eye Army will definitely win this battle. Zhuge Jian and Zhang Shizai are in this situation, and they may be in danger. ]

【After we say goodbye today, the next time I hear from you, it may be bad news!】

[As for Zhuge Jian's reminder, you have already kept it in mind. Your father, Xie Ling, the master of the Xie family compound, is definitely not a simple person.]

[Just like Xie Hong, he always leaves people with a foggy feeling. ]

[After the banquet, you already knew that Xie Hong was just like the four masters of the academy. He was not a chess piece, but one of the chess players in Bianjing.]

【As for people like Master, Su Xiang, and Mr. San, what they are seeking is nothing more than the word "ascension".】

[You turn around and return to the courtyard, continuing to practice with concentration.]

[It is July now, and there is only a little over a month left until your birthday and coming-of-age ceremony. ]

[The Red Eye Army will capture Bianjing soon, I am afraid, only a few months are left. ]

[You feel a sense of urgency in your heart, and every moment is precious. ]

[Over the past month, although your Yuan Shen cultivation has improved day by day, you have never been able to touch the barrier of the Yang Shen realm - it's like looking at the moon through a veil, clearly close at hand, yet out of reach.]

[The seventh realm of martial arts, "Snow Mountain", has reached its peak. The true energy in the body is surging like a glacier. After only half a month, you can try to break through and enter the "Watching the Sea". ]

[But thinking about the long journey ahead to reach the Nine Transformations of Xuandan, even a genius like Lu Hua was trapped at the threshold of Yangshen for two years... You looked at the sword energy condensed in your palm, and for the first time you felt that time was sharper than the blade.]

[Whenever I enter into a state of meditation, I can feel the mysterious energy between heaven and earth stirring. Not only you, but also those people in Bianjing who rarely go out have been observing the stars at night recently.]

[When you were meditating at midnight last night, you noticed that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be more dense than before. Although it was barely detectable, it was real.]

[The spiritual energy between heaven and earth is rising again, and the opportunity to ascend is imminent. ]

[The day when the Red Eye Army breaks through the city will be the day of the ascension predicted by the Great Master - this thought becomes clearer and clearer in your mind.]

[Only when the Xuandan of the Nine Realms of Martial Arts and the Yangshen are integrated can one condense his own destiny.]

[If you had not condensed your own destiny at that time, how would you face the Demon Master, Master Lianchi, Su Xiang, etc., the great masters who roamed the world, or even the thousand-year-old masters in the world. ]

[You suddenly let out a breath of air, suppressing all the restlessness surging in your chest.]

[The path of spiritual practice is like sailing against the current. The more critical the moment, the more you need to proceed steadily. ]

[You start to summon the sword spirit figure again to practice sword, and then practice the "Yang Fu Jing", step by step. ]

[The sword finger was lightly raised, and seven sword-wielding figures appeared from the void. Where the cold light appeared, the sycamore leaves in the courtyard were chopped into more than ten petals before they fell to the ground.]

[After that, you practice the Yang Fu Jing, and golden seal characters circulate around your body.]

[Mrs. Ruan buried her head deep in the water, and ripples appeared in the water tank. She was shocked by the trace of energy you accidentally leaked just now, and now even the ends of her hair are trembling, and the hairs all over her body are standing on end.]

[“Master, this is too scary!”]

[Mrs. Ruan witnessed your cultivation speed in the courtyard every day, which could not be described as "a thousand miles a day". Within three days, your aura had reached a higher level; within five days, there had been a change.]

[What frightened her even more was the molten essence of the sun that you swallowed and exhaled every day. The blazing breath was like a flame, and it made her eyes burn with pain if she looked at it for even a second.]

[She clearly remembered that you had completed the Snow Mountain Realm of your martial arts only ten days ago, and now you are close to the threshold of the Sea Viewing Realm. Others need several years or even ten years to achieve this, but you have completed it in just one month?]

[Also, you face the scorching sun every day in the courtyard, and the energy of the sun's molten essence you exhale and the aura you emit are so terrifying that her eyes will burn and sting if she looks at them for a while longer.]

[However, you still seem to think it is not enough, and occasionally you will sigh: "The practice is still too slow."]

[This is still slow——]

[Mrs. Ruan felt mixed emotions. If this was still too slow, then all the people who practiced martial arts and Yuanshen in the world could die of shame!]

[However, she was a little curious, "Master, how long have you been practicing now?"]
