Simultaneous travel: My sons all have the qualities of an emperor

Chapter 354 Not the Same as Before

In the courtyard, there was a huge ditch stretching for dozens of feet on the ground. At its end, Yuan Tiangang had revealed his true face and was unconsciously hunching over.

pain!
Severe pain!

This was a taste he had never experienced in three hundred years, and now he was feeling it in Li Huiming, whom he had raised.

On the other hand, Li Huiming stared blankly at his hands. He only knew that he was strong, but he never thought he was this strong, even though he had already held back his strength.

However, Yuan Tiangang, whom he had regarded as invincible since childhood, was as fragile as paper when he withdrew his strength.

Seeing his former boss in such a sorry state, Li Huiming felt worried, guilty, and a barely perceptible sense of pleasure.

It was as if they had broken a taboo and done something they had never dared to do or even think about.

Then Yuan Tiangang sprang back to his feet and said in a deep voice, "You've grown up, and you're no longer the same as you were back then."

"Not bad, you're quite good. Looking across the vast world, you're the first one to make this commander feel pain. Now, let this commander weigh your strength!"

Gu Ming watched with a smile. Gangzi was, after all, a man of principle. He never lost his composure at any moment. Although he realized Li Huiming's current strength, he would not bow down.

Upon hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, Li Huiming sighed and said, "Boss, don't blame me then. I'm doing this for your own good!"

boom!
An invisible force impacted everything in all directions, even the land within a radius of tens of meters around Li Huiming was compressed by this astonishing force, sinking half a meter out of thin air.

Then his movements were as swift as the wind, like a dragon emerging from the sea or a tiger descending the mountain, displaying an unparalleled domineering aura.

Yuan Tiangang rose to fight, feeling Li Huiming's domineering and surging aura, and then unleashed his Tiangang Technique, which he had cultivated to an unknown level, without reservation.

"I raised him, yet I had no idea that the reason he became so powerful must be related to that 'old emperor.' Judging from his aura and imposing presence alone, I'm afraid I'm already far inferior to him."
Fortunately, I taught him his moves, so I'll use skill to overcome brute force!

Yuan Tiangang fought countless battles, both large and small, throughout his life. He fought against renowned masters of the martial arts world and also led large armies alone. His combat experience was incredibly rich, and he had already devised methods to defeat his enemies.

At this moment, Yuan Tiangang was determined to win, but he also had a moment of confusion. He smiled bitterly, wondering when he, Yuan Tiangang, would need to use tricks to defeat his enemy.

Then Yuan Tiangang also moved, his pupils glowing with a dazzling blue light, his figure like a ghost from the underworld, wandering between heaven and earth, transforming into a ghost god who takes lives.

Seeing Li Huiming rushing straight at him, he slightly tilted his body, intending to quickly circle around behind him, avoid his strengths, find his weaknesses, and then deliver a fatal blow!
Having already anticipated this, and with a glint of victory in his eyes, he was preparing to change his move to secure the win when a soft shout suddenly reached his ears:

"I'll elbow you, you'll be in big trouble!"

Li Huiming's elbow, like a Buddhist vajra, struck Yuan Tiangang's face with unstoppable force, and two teeth, stained with blood, were spat out.

No, this isn't right. I anticipated the moves, I anticipated the actions, but how could the speed be so fast and the strength so great?
At this moment, Yuan Tiangang's mind went blank. He never expected that he was not just a little bit behind Li Huiming, but that there was an insurmountable gap between them!

I was just trying to show off, but my opponent turned into a stat monster! How am I supposed to beat them?!
"Brother Lao, don't blame me. I'm doing this for your own good. The Emperor's authority is not to be trifled with. If you make a mistake, you'll be punished. So, here's my elbow to you!"

Boom boom boom!

Under Li Huiming's repeated elbow strikes, Yuan Tiangang's body flew through the air like a tattered bag.

Li Xingyun, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded and muttered, "He wasn't raised by Yuan Tiangang, so why was he beaten so badly?"

Gu Ming laughed and said, "If you set aside the relationship of using and being used, then Li Huiming and Yuan Tiangang are like master and disciple, or father and son."

But now it seems that Li Huiming is clearly addicted to fighting, constantly using the word "lao da" and delivering elbow strikes with both hands.

However, Gu Ming could sense that Li Huiming had kept his hands to himself, at most causing some superficial injuries.

The reason Li Huiming acted this way was simply because Yuan Tiangang had always held too much authority in his heart since childhood, and today he had crossed the line of taboo, to the point that he became addicted.

"Alright, stop now, Huiming. Don't beat my loyal subjects anymore."

As soon as Gu Ming finished speaking, Yuan Tiangang also floated down from the sky, creating a large human-shaped crater on the ground, but there was no sound for a long time.

Who am I? Where am I? Where did I come from? Where am I going?

At this moment, the commander of the Bad Guys, who was exceptional in both literary and military arts, was completely dumbfounded.

Then, moonlight shone into Gu Ming's cup, which had been empty, and the moonlight condensed into water, overflowing the cup. With a flick of his wrist, Gu Ming sprinkled the moonlight onto Yuan Tiangang.

Yuan Tiangang felt as if he were enveloped in a warm and moist environment, with vitality emanating from his internal organs to his body surface, and he even felt an itchy sensation on his face.

The itching sensation was so intense that even his strong will could not bear it. He kept scratching with both hands, but the feeling was completely different when he finally managed to scratch.

It was like touching old skin, which was indeed old skin. He reached out with both hands and tore off the tattered old skin, like a snake shedding its skin, and it fell to the ground.

After scratching for an unknown amount of time, Yuan Tiangang finally felt the itching stop and breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was speechless at Gu Ming's methods.

He has lived for three hundred years, and is himself a piece of ancient history. He has learned about and come into contact with both the poisonous insect techniques of the Twelve Caves and the Saman techniques of the Northern Desert.

But now it seems that all these techniques are child's play in front of this old emperor. That cup of water not only healed his injuries, but also made his internal strength reach a new level.

Just as Yuan Tiangang was in a state of confusion and didn't know what to do, he suddenly heard Li Huiming's stuttering voice.

"Lao...Lao Da, your face?"

Yuan Tiangang had doubts in his heart, but he didn't know where to look. At this moment, Gu Ming said leisurely, "Yuan Qing, you have changed. You are no longer the same as you were back then. Just look at what's in front of you."

Then Gu Ming lightly rolled up his sleeves, and wine spilled from the table, gathering in front of Yuan Tiangang and becoming a water mirror, reflecting the baby-like face of the person before him.

He is handsome and masculine; anyone would praise his good looks.

"My face?" Yuan Tiangang was stunned. The wound on his face was left from a fierce battle with Zhang Wulang three hundred years ago, and even his unparalleled medical skills could not heal it.

Yet, he was casually healed by the former emperor before him!

This is something that the old emperor in my memory could not have done; it is the work of an immortal!

Yuan Tiangang's heart was filled with turbulent waves, but then another wine glass filled with orange juice flew down from the sky.

“Drink this, Yuan Qing, and you will understand everything.” Yuan Tiangang did not hesitate and drank it down in one gulp. He couldn’t even beat Li Huiming now, so he had nothing to worry about.

Then, after downing a glass of orange juice, he froze on the spot, his aura changing. Although it was late at night, it gave off a feeling of the sun rising above the horizon, a great sun shining brightly across the heavens and earth!
Despite the darkness of night, it filled all the people of Chang'an with warmth, brilliance, and fierce power!

In this world, Yuan Tiangang is undoubtedly the number one, and he has worked for the Tang Dynasty for three hundred years. Therefore, Gu Ming also appreciates him and can reward him with a glass of orange juice for his own use.

Yuan Tiangang's realm is the highest in this world, so the effects he can absorb and exert are relatively higher than those of the two Lis, hence his imposing presence.

Seeing this, Li Huiming silently swallowed, somewhat regretting that he had gone too far. "He shouldn't hold a grudge, right?"
After an unknown amount of time, Yuan Tiangang opened his eyes again. The blue light in his eyes was like a great sun, dazzling and infinitely radiant.

Gradually, things returned to normal, and the most complex expression appeared on that handsome and masculine face.

He already knew Gu Ming's methods and had also figured everything out. Whether the person in front of him was the former emperor or not was no longer relevant. The world was nothing more than a plaything to the person in front of him.

Moreover, Gu Ming had already shown his goodwill, and Yuan Tiangang was not one to be ungrateful.

For three hundred years, he has been in a high position, like a god. But the so-called god and man are only relative. When he stands above all others, he is a god.

But now, not only are there two Lis by his side, but Gu Ming is also high above him, like a celestial emperor in the heavens. This makes Yuan Tiangang's mentality inevitably return to the time when he faced the first emperor of all time during the Zhenguan era.

No, even the greatest emperor of all time is nothing compared to Gu Ming.

Then Yuan Tiangang knelt down and said, "Your subject, Yuan Tiangang, the Bad Commander, pays respects to Your Majesty."

Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Gu Ming's face darkened. Long live the Emperor? Was he cursing him to die? Oh well, he was magnanimous and wouldn't stoop to Yuan Tiangang's level.

Then Gu Ming asked in the group which world needed to fight a war, and he would send someone there to "gild" their resume.

At this moment, Yuan Tiangang, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly felt a sense of unease. With his cultivation level now that had risen to countless levels, he felt as if he had fallen into a cold cave.

"Is it an illusion? No, my senses have always been sharp, and now my cultivation has greatly increased. Even if Chunfeng were alive, he might not be able to compare with me."

······
At this point, Li Siyuan was almost insane. He ran back to his base camp in Taiyuan, Shanxi, day and night. After all, when people are on the verge of collapse, they will instinctively seek their "home".

Along the way, his unsightly behavior was frequently pointed at and gossiped about by passersby.

Finally, he stood naked and filthy outside Taiyuan City, when a strange and elusive voice flashed through his mind:

"I am a member of an extraterrestrial holy race. I was stranded in this realm with a powerful enemy. In my moment of crisis, I secretly attached my own legacy to the enemy, waiting for an opening so that he could escape. I left behind a destined person, a junior. Do not fail my legacy."

The sound carried a sense of calm and seduction, which surprisingly made Li Siyuan's mind clear.

"Who...who are you? Where are you? Show yourself to me now!"

Li Siyuan was suddenly terrified. He looked around frantically, but to no avail. Then, he carefully recalled the source of the sound and saw a precious book in his mind, on which was written:

"Nine Mirrors of Youxuan!"

Instantly, Li Siyuan's mind became even clearer, and he couldn't help but explore, as treasures not belonging to this world appeared in his mind.

Just reading it once was enough for him to grasp the profound truths of the universe, which made him overjoyed.

"Hahahaha! So that's how it is. So you are the extraterrestrial being who fell into my realm along with this treasure mirror. No wonder Emperor Zhaozong was suddenly resurrected."

"What a pity! I was so intimidated by your divine power to control heavenly thunder that I never suspected you were already at your last gasp."

Da da da!
The sound of hooves approached, and on the lead horse was a white-haired man, handsome and effeminate, who was none other than Li Siyuan's sixth brother and most trusted confidant—Li Cunli.

However, Li Cunli was somewhat afraid to look directly at Li Siyuan at this moment. His elder brother was in a terrible state, naked and without hair or beard.

Even the horses seemed uneasy, as if ashamed to witness such a sight.

Li Siyuan also noticed him, but just grunted and said, "Give me my clothes."

Li Cunli immediately took off his outer robe and gave it to Li Siyuan, who was naked, and asked hesitantly, "Brother, what happened in Chang'an?"

Li Siyuan was first devastated by Gu Ming's actions, then overjoyed upon learning of the mysterious opportunity. Unable to contain his emotions, he ignored the whispers around him and said:
"It's nothing. A fake Emperor Zhaozong has appeared. Go back and prepare enough troops. Choose a day to follow me to defeat the traitor and restore the Tang Dynasty!"

Far away in Chang'an, Gu Ming's lips curled into a smile. There was going to be a good show. He wanted to see how Li Siyuan would behave under the cultivation technique he had given him.

"However, this kind of world is quite boring. Let's add some combat power."

Immediately, lines appeared between Gu Ming's eyebrows. Suddenly, stars in the sky were drawn by divine power and traveled to an unknown distance of light-years, transforming into streams of light that came towards him.

Moreover, within this flowing light, it was constantly shaped and transformed into nine towering stone tablets, which crashed down in the nine directions of heaven and earth without harming a single person.

Moreover, all the starlight in the universe is gathered and transformed into pure spiritual energy, which continuously converges in this realm. From then on, it will be easier for martial artists to break through barriers, and a great era is about to begin.

All of this was merely a prank on Gu Ming, and of course, no one knew it.

Two days later, Gu Ming's divine power spread throughout most of the world. Some lords were overjoyed but could not rest easy, while others did not believe in this, and still others were determined to go down this dark path.

The prime example of this was Li Siyuan. After returning to Taiyuan, Li Siyuan went to great lengths to spread the rumor that Gu Ming was a fake emperor, that someone was impersonating him, and that he would personally lead troops to purge the court of corrupt officials.

In the main hall of Chang'an, Gu Ming sat on a hastily constructed imperial throne, looking at the crowd of people paying their respects, and nodded slightly: "I am very pleased that you have come."

But there are still rebellious traitors in the land who remain obstinate. Since that is the case, I will show them what it means to defy the imperial majesty.

"Go on," Gu Ming thought with amusement. "In other worlds, Gu Ming conquered the world by sweeping everything aside; he was too reckless."

He was different; he wanted to subdue the world with his extraordinary wisdom and strategy.

After that, the two Lis, and even Yuan Tiangang—oh, no Yuan Tiangang, Yuan Tiangang had already been sent by Gu Ming to other worlds for training and refinement (he got a beating).
