Ming Dynasty: pacifying the rebellion and defending the border, dominating the world

Chapter 397 Are the terrestrial celestial beings very strong?

"Land Celestial Beings, are they very strong?"

As soon as Li Wuyi uttered those words, Huang Longshi's face turned deathly pale.

Wang Xianzhi and Li Chungang were both shocked and gasped at the same time.

Li Wuyi's words contained a tremendous amount of information.

It was so big that it was beyond their capacity to handle.

"Above the celestial beings on land?" Huang Longshi exclaimed.

Only then did he realize with horror that although Li Wuyi was standing right in front of him, surrounded by several mysterious Xuanjia guards, she was still within his terrestrial immortal realm's perception range...

Despite being so close, he still had no sense of Li Wuyi and the others.

It should be noted that even someone as powerful as Wang Xianzhi, through the communion of heaven and man, could still sense the opponent's aura.

Huang Longshi could not sense anything from the people in front of him.

Only Wang Xianzhi and Li Chungang had unusually solemn expressions after Li Wuyi finished speaking. One was a terrestrial celestial being, and the other was a green-robed sword immortal who could open the Heavenly Gate with his sword and ascend to a higher level at any time. Their aura perception was much stronger than Huang Longshi's.

Within their perception...

Although they were also unable to fully perceive the presence of Li Wuyi and the others.

Yet it can capture that aura that is terrifying to the soul, sometimes like a boundless, turbulent ocean, sometimes like a sky full of stars hanging high in the heavens, sometimes like a vast and boundless world, carrying an unchanging ancient flavor, and at the same time carrying a majestic aura that makes one feel as insignificant as dust.

"The terrestrial celestial beings are not truly invincible; there are still new realms of martial arts beyond them?" Li Chungang murmured absentmindedly. His heart was churning like a stormy sea, unable to calm down for a long time.

The martial arts world of Liyang is a place of brilliance, where countless geniuses and outstanding talents emerge.

But so far, the most powerful ones are nothing more than the celestial being Gao Shulu, the Confucian sage Zhang Fuyao, and Lu Zu of yesteryear, while Wang Xianzhi and Li Chungang are few and far between.

But no matter who it is, the highest they can reach is the terrestrial celestial realm.

Even Li Chungang believed that the limit of martial arts in the human world was to become a celestial being on land. If one were to take another half step forward, the only way would be to open the Heavenly Gate with a sword, ascend to heaven, and become one of the immortals, Buddhas, and saints in the eyes of the world, only then would there be a possibility of continuing to advance.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving in the Ming Dynasty, they witnessed a new chapter in martial arts.

Huang Longshi was able to stir up the winds of change in the Spring and Autumn Period, so he was naturally extremely intelligent. He soon discovered that the vital energy in his body was beginning to dissipate and could not be gathered. The more he circulated the vital energy in his body, the faster it dissipated!
"you……"

"The frog at the bottom of the well."

One of the guards couldn't help but sneer: "You're not worthy of our use of poison. This is just a small trick used by those above the terrestrial celestial beings."

The others looked on with curiosity.

Li Wuyi slowly stretched out his hand, his five fingers spread wide, and smiled at Huang Longshi: "Land-based celestial beings communicate with heaven and earth, reach the heavens with a single thought, achieve unity with heaven and man, and wield the heavenly way as martial power."

"And those who transcend that level can achieve..."

"The world is just three inches from the palm of your hand."

"I will put my heart in place of Heaven's heart, and my will in place of Heaven's will."

Even celestial beings are subject to suppression.

"And what about you, a mere terrestrial immortal?"

Li Wuyi laughed smugly, his eyes filled with contempt as he looked at Huang Longshi, as if he were mocking a frog in a well for talking about the moon at the bottom of the well and that the world was as big as the sky.

With just a flick of his palm, Huang Longshi, who still didn't quite understand, felt an overwhelming force suddenly descend upon him, as if he were carrying the weight of an entire mountain, causing his bones to shatter instantly, and he collapsed to his knees, unable to bear the weight.

Wang Xianzhi and Li Chungang were also affected.

The two knew that Li Wuyi was trying to intimidate them.

Though outwardly calm, they were secretly competing, eager to see the scenery of what was supposedly a realm above the heavens.

Wang Xianzhi's aura was as powerful as a resounding bell. Even before he made a move, his celestial energy stirred the winds and clouds, causing the sky above the capital to rise and churn, as if a murderous intent was emanating from the earth, and dragons and snakes were rising from the land. This drew the attention of all the masters in the capital, who simultaneously turned their gazes toward the direction of Zuichun Tower.

"Such an aura, the heavens and earth trembled, killing intent filled the world, causing dragons and snakes to rise from the land, yet Han'er did not unleash it. Is this the realm of a terrestrial celestial being?"

"When did such a master arrive in the capital?"

Anyone with a modicum of knowledge couldn't help but gasp in surprise when Wang Xianzhi's aura was so powerful and awe-inspiring, and they instinctively looked towards the direction of the palace, wanting to see how Zhu Jinzhen would react.

After all, tomorrow is the coronation ceremony.

The sudden appearance of a celestial being on earth in the capital today is not a good thing for Zhu Jinzhen.

At the same time, these people also had a question in their minds.

Just who is this terrestrial celestial being?
Zhang Sanfeng, the legendary figure in the martial arts world?
Everyone quickly dismissed this speculation, because the latest news about Zhang Sanfeng was that he had returned to Wudang Mountain, accepted the Night Emperor's apology, and instructed the Wudang people on the mysteries of heaven and man.

It's impossible for me to come to Beijing again.

However, apart from Zhang Sanfeng, no one in the capital could think of any other possibility.

"boom!"

The top floor of Zuichunlou suddenly exploded, shattering into a shower of wood chips.

It turned out that Li Chungang was unwilling to be outdone, and his sword intent surged forth, shattering the wind and clouds, like a divine sword that could shatter the heavens and stand tall, as if to announce his existence to the heavens, and was also trying his best to resist the pressure from Li Wuyi.

The Imperial Palace, in front of the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Jinzhen gazed at the turbulent events unfolding in the capital, a faint smile on his face: "That kid Li Wuyi has no murderous intent in his aura. It seems that the matter has been roughly settled."

Standing shoulder to shoulder with Zhu Jinzhen, Changsun Wangqing, having removed her armor and donned pear blossom makeup, smiled gently: "Whether it is Dao Yu or the Great Dragon Head of the Azure Dragon Society."

"Even the Heavenly Lord and the Demon Lord know that Wang Xianzhi has joined the Heavenly Scar."

"But his goal was neither to rely on the massive organization of Tianzhihen, nor to seek further advancement. He and Tianzhihen were never of one mind."

"Yes, one man, one city, guarding the Heavenly Gate."

"How could someone like that be willing to be a lackey of an immortal?"

Zhu Jinzhen smiled meaningfully and strangely. He knew about Wang Xianzhi's ambitions. After the Heavenly Lord and the Demon Lord confessed their information, he specially ordered his secret guards to investigate and even used the newly restored spiritual realm to explore it.

The conclusion is that Wang Xianzhi is still the same Wang Xianzhi.

He is still the same person who would stand alone at the gates of heaven to uphold justice for humanity.

However, fate seemed to have played a cruel joke on him.

but……

"At least in this life, you might have a good ending." Zhu Jinzhen gazed at the direction in the capital city where the aura was majestic and the celestial energy was fully displayed, and thought to himself, "Provided that you know what's good for you."

With Wang Xianzhi's outburst, the focus of attention in the capital shifted almost entirely to Zuichunlou.

The newly returned generals of Tian Ce and Cang Yun even narrowed their eyes, dressed in civilian clothes, and took to the air, casting their gazes toward Zui Chun Lou, looking eager to try their luck.

They missed the battle when the immortals descended to the mortal realm.

Upon hearing this, he was filled with regret, wondering why he hadn't tried to come to the capital with Zhu Jinzhen.

Having missed that opportunity, their return, coupled with the martial arts cultivation furnace that allowed them to advance even further.

They can't even find a decent opponent.

It's exactly the mentality of Guan Yu in the past, seeing everyone as a nobody.

Having finally seen a terrestrial celestial being like Wang Xianzhi, they were naturally overjoyed and wished they could replace Li Wuyi and personally "have a good fight" with such a terrestrial celestial being like Wang Xianzhi!
