The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 180: Personal worship is unacceptable!
From then on, the Green-Winged Bat King and Xu Xingchen settled down in the back mountain of Butterfly Valley.

A month later, Yin Tianzheng, Xie Xun and Daiqisi returned. After meeting Wei Yixiao, there was another round of noise and joy among the four of them.

After a long separation, the four Dharma Kings are now reunited, which is one of the happiest things in life.

With sumptuous meals on the table and white jade wine glasses raised, the four of them drank and talked while reminiscing about the passion of the past. Even Daiqisi, who usually spoke very little, said a lot and drank a lot of wine.

From beginning to end, Xu Xingchen did not participate in their banquet. This was a happy time for the four of them.

The banquet lasted from the afternoon to the evening, and only ended when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, feeling reluctant to leave.

Starting from the second day, the four continued to celebrate. Xie Xun and Yin Tianzheng also began to use the Nine Yang True Qi to remove the coldness from Wei Yixiao's body and heal his old illness.

The Nine Yang Divine Art is truly the nemesis of all the most yin and cold martial arts in the world.

Wei Yixiao's hidden illness caused by improper practice of the Ice Palm was cured in just a few days. From then on, he no longer had to suffer from the pain of the cold poison, nor did he have to look for animals to drink their blood to relieve the pain after every fierce battle with others.

As Wei Yixiao's injuries healed, the old friendship between the four Dharma Kings was almost over, and they were sent out again by their leader to take care of various matters of the Ming Cult.

The four Dharma Kings appeared at the same time with great pomp and circumstance, and many problems that were usually extremely difficult were solved one after another.

The leaders of the various rebel armies in the north and south, the chiefs of the rebels, and the heads of the major sects and gangs no longer dared to underestimate the ability of the new leader of the Ming Cult, and they repeatedly mentioned how much importance they attached to him.

Within the Ming Cult, branch factions in various places saw that the Ming Cult was developing in full swing and the situation was very good. Some factions that were barely able to survive were still hesitating; many factions in awkward situations had already begun to surrender and requested to return to the leadership of the leader.

In addition to the rapid development that spread like wildfire in secret, Cangwu Pavilion and Shangong Hall also began to make real efforts.

When Xu Xingchen compiled those martial arts secrets, he referred to the quick-learning feature of the "Sunflower Manual", but it was not as extreme as the "Sunflower Manual".

Whether it is the internal power or the martial arts, it can quickly improve one's martial arts strength.

A martial artist with mediocre skills can become an expert in just one year.

And those martial artists who are already good fighters can also become masters within one or two years.

But, everything has its pros and cons!

The reason why the martial arts created by Xu Xingchen could be mastered quickly without having to resort to self-castration was because he used the method of overdrawing his potential.

If those who practice martial arts practice diligently step by step, and are lucky enough to live to old age in this chaotic world, their martial arts may be able to reach a very high level.

But after practicing the martial arts in the Martial Arts Pavilion, his martial arts value improved by leaps and bounds in the initial stage, but the upper limit was already determined.

When they enter the ranks of masters, they have already touched the ceiling of their martial arts. If they want to continue to improve in the future, they will encounter bottlenecks that are several times more difficult than those of ordinary martial artists.

Unless someone is extremely blessed with fortune and luck, he may not be able to achieve a breakthrough in his entire life.

Xu Xingchen added all these restrictions on the first page of the book when he was writing the martial arts secrets.

Everyone who enters the Martial Arts Pavilion can see the warning on the first page, but those people don’t care about it at all.

Not to mention whether he could live to old age without any illness or disaster, even if he could live to that time, in this era where martial arts were not passed on to others, the probability of an ordinary martial artist obtaining a good martial art was as small as pie falling from the sky.

Now there are hundreds of martial arts secret manuals open for them to choose from, but the price is that after reaching the master level, there is no possibility of further advancement.
Compared to one's own life, the social status that can be obtained, the money and beauty that can be gained, and the respect and admiration of others, what is this price? !

As a result, after a year of fermentation, countless good players and masters quickly emerged among the Ming Cult forces under Xu Xingchen, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

With a large number of good players and experts, Shangongtang can issue more and broader tasks, and the difficulty is constantly increasing, but the efficiency of completing tasks is still surprisingly high.

Cangwu Pavilion and Shangong Hall have entered a virtuous cycle!
In addition to the members of the sect, some low-ranking figures in the martial arts world who heard that there was such a great thing within the Ming Cult that would benefit all martial artists in the world also joined in, openly or secretly, causing the number of good players in the sect to rise steadily, and the probability of the emergence of masters also increased a bit. After all, the transition from a good player to a master is not an easy thing!

The power of the Ming Cult expanded rapidly and developed wildly underwater, and was discovered by knowledgeable people in the Yuan court. They began to unite with the landlords, powerful people, and high-ranking officials who occupied large tracts of land to continuously suppress and encircle the Ming Cult.

But soon, they discovered that the Ming Cult was not only large in number and powerful, but also very rich. They had bribed many of the equally hungry petty officials at the bottom of the officialdom, and had so many spies that it made them tremble with fear.

Any action taken would be known to the Ming Cult in a very short time.

Then, there is a series of targeted planning.
When encountering a strong enemy, they avoid it; when encountering a weak enemy, they attack it. When encountering a similar number of people, they set traps and ambushes to lure the enemy, and use various strategies to annihilate them.

In the confrontations on these battlefields, "The Book of War", one of the four great books written by Xu Xingchen, is completely an encyclopedia of military tactics and strategies. All kinds of content can be found in it, all kinds of strategies and plans are included, and there are solutions to any kind of difficulties.

The content is comprehensive and covers a wide range of areas, which is dozens of times better than ancient military books. Even the "Wu Mu Testament" in the Dragon Slaying Sword is far inferior.

This is what Xu Xingchen summarized from everything he had read on military strategy, thanks to the information explosion era of the first Internet.

That is not just the strategy and tactics of Dragon Nation for five thousand years, but also includes the strategy and tactics of dozens of countries around the world, as well as the methods of fighting in various terrains.
Xu Xingchen summarized all the knowledge he could find in his memory and wrote it in the "Book of War".

Although it is just a work of theoretical theory, in this chaotic world, there is no shortage of generals and leaders who can lead troops to fight. What they lack is some broad vision.

Once the two phases were combined, they immediately produced earth-shaking power, just like gunpowder made from three simple ingredients.

However, the contents of the "Book of War" are too important. Only when the rebel leaders under Xu Xingchen return to the headquarters to report on their duties will the White-browed Eagle King allow some of them to enter the study and read the contents as a reward.

Because it was not easy to read, and every rebel leader walked out of the study with a dazed look on his face after reading it, and in the following days, they often seemed to be assisted by God and won battles one after another, so that the prestige of the "Book of War" became more and more mysterious and bizarre among the generals.

In the end, there was even a rumor that "whoever gets the book of war can get the world."

In addition, the contents of "Book of Agriculture" and "Book of Medicine" were also widely circulated among the people. After being passed on by word of mouth, countless illiterate ordinary people could more or less recite a few rhymes.

Even if it was just a sentence or two, it helped many people to achieve a slight increase in grain production in their fields, and it also enabled countless people to learn how to treat their minor illnesses, thus indirectly or directly saving countless lives.

Spreading these two treasured books throughout the world and bringing benefits to the world will definitely be a great deed!
The last of the four great books, the Book of Money, has only been read by a few people, just like the Book of War. In the eyes of the followers of the Ming Cult and even all the forces in the world, its mysteriousness is no less than that of the Book of War, and even more so.
After all, in this era when the whole world is in chaos, the importance of money to every force is self-evident.

The book of money not only records countless small techniques for making money, but also some information about the sea routes, such as the three harvests of rice in Southeast Asia, the ivory of Sindhu, and the huge gold and silver deposits on the Japanese islands.
Each record can make people extremely rich and make others jealous.

Therefore, the management of the "Book of Money" is more stringent than that of the "Book of War". Only trusted people and people who are absolutely loyal to the Ming Cult are allowed to read it.

A year passed, and the ships that traveled back and forth from the South China Sea brought back a large amount of wealth, which also allowed the forces under Xu Xingchen to have more money to improve the lives of the believers, forge better weapons, and bribe the officials of the Yuan court and the petty officials under them.

This is also one of the reasons why the anti-Yuan cause was becoming more and more successful.

As time passed, the influence of the Four Treasures on the followers of the Ming Cult penetrated into all aspects, becoming deeper and wider, making countless followers recognize from the bottom of their hearts their supreme status in the religion.

As for the mysterious leader who was able to write these four great scriptures, the followers are even more convinced and worship him.

The Mingjiao is a religious sect that was formed after the Persian Zoroastrianism was introduced to China. The object of worship is light and fire.

How can any sect that wants to develop not engage in personality cult and belief in gods and Buddhas? !
As a result, the leader, who had never shown his face in front of his followers, was not forgotten. Instead, as the four great books were recognized by more and more followers, he gradually evolved into an extremely mysterious and powerful person.

There are rumors among the followers that the leader is a god from heaven who has descended to earth, otherwise it would be impossible for him to write a holy book like the Four Treasures.

Those good players and masters in the sect who have improved their martial arts by learning the martial arts in the Cangwu Pavilion also have great respect for the leader who created so many martial arts.

A person who can do things that ordinary people cannot do is either a god or a saint!
As time went by, the Ming Cult became more and more prosperous, and its whereabouts became increasingly difficult to conceal.

The Yuan court began to regard Xu Xingchen's forces as the number one enemy.
