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

Chapter 415 Universal Celebration, Withered Trees Come Back to Life
The strange phenomenon surrounding Xu Fengnian did not last long.

Once his celestial aura stabilized, he stopped increasing it.

Even so, it still left many people dumbfounded.

after all……

Xu Fengnian, right in front of everyone, truly went from nothing to something, from an ordinary person with no martial arts skills and no cultivation, to a Grandmaster of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm!

"I am..."

Xu Fengnian seemed to wake from a dream, feeling the surging power within his body in disbelief. The power was so great that it could destroy a thousand armies with a flick of the finger and shake the heavens with a wave of the hand, constantly reminding him that he had been reborn and was no longer the same as before.

"With the first step into the Celestial Phenomenon realm, from now on, as long as it's not a few terrestrial immortals or terrestrial celestial beings who make a move, your safety is assured!" Li Chungang exclaimed sincerely. Back then, although he was full of vigor and invincible in the martial arts world of Liyang, it still took him more than ten years to cultivate to the Celestial Phenomenon realm.

Unlike Xu Fengnian, who achieved success overnight and rose to prominence in one fell swoop.

He was simply showered with the divine light and rain bestowed by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he broke through the realm and achieved a celestial phenomenon!

If it weren't for what he saw, Li Chungang would have found it hard to believe.

"Celestial phenomena?"

A sharp light flashed in Xu Fengnian's pupils, and he excitedly said, "Even Xu Xiao is only a Finger Profound Master. I'm now at the First Heavenly Phenomenon stage, so isn't that almost the same as a Dragon Elephant?"

Xu Longxiang, Xu Fengnian's younger brother, is a truly monstrous talent in martial arts within the Xu family of the Northern Liang King.

Li Chungang nodded silently: "He's no worse than him."

He had met Xu Longxiang, a natural-born Vajra Realm expert with extraordinary talent and physique. If not for his incomplete mind, Xu Longxiang, given a few years, would be invincible in the martial world.

After years of honing his skills and training, Xu Longxiang's brute strength is no less than that of ordinary external martial arts practitioners.

"That's enough!" Xu Fengnian's lips curled up wildly. He was finally no longer the weakest member of the Xu family. He no longer needed countless assassins arranged by Xu Xiao to charge into battle and sacrifice themselves for him. He was no longer a weakling who needed protection from others.

He, Xu Fengnian, is a Grandmaster of Celestial Phenomena.

It is enough to reach the world's top level.

"enough?"

Li Chungang nodded first, then suddenly reminded him as if he had thought of something: "It is certainly a good thing that you have achieved the first step of the Celestial Phenomenon. But don't forget that you still owe the Secret Guard 34,000 taels and Zuichunlou 19,000 taels."

"Before the Xuanjia Secret Guards receive the money, you'll have to work as a servant at Zuichunlou for a while!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Fengnian's smiling face immediately fell.

However, Xu Fengnian seemed to have thought of something as well, and retorted sarcastically, "It's alright. I, Xu Fengnian, am just an unknown nobody. Being a servant is no big deal for me. On the contrary, it's you, Old Li. If the swordsmen of Liyang Jianghu knew that their most revered Green-Robed Sword Immortal had been reduced to guarding the gate and greeting guests at Zuichun Tower, what do you say..."

"Isn't that because of you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chungang instantly gritted his teeth.

For a moment, the two were locked in a fierce verbal battle, exchanging barbs and refusing to yield to each other.

During their conversation.

"Wow! It's truly a celestial phenomenon!"

"It's not surprising that the Crown Prince of Northern Liang has entered the realm of celestial phenomena. This world is not lacking in celestial phenomenon grandmasters like him. The person we need to pay attention to is somewhere else..."

"The garrison around the altar exudes a powerful aura, which we cannot detect. But the great fortune bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty cannot be confined to the area around the altar."

"what do you mean……"

"The Ming Dynasty's capital garrison, the people of the Ming Dynasty?"

Yes! But that's not all.

The foreign delegations were not fools; they immediately realized what terrified them most upon closer examination.

Xu Fengnian was able to obtain such great fortune through the light and rain bestowed by Zhu Jinzhen, transforming himself from an ordinary mortal into a Grandmaster of Celestial Phenomena at the top of the martial arts world.

What about Cangyun and Tiance, which were already so powerful that they amazed and even drove other countries to despair?
They couldn't discern the true and false realms of the Tian Ce and Cang Yun armies around the altar, who started as Grandmasters of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. But just outside the altar, the Cang Yun and Tian Ce armies, who started at the Vajra Realm and Finger Profound Realm, filled the capital city.

Does that mean there was no gain at all?

If so, how great would the gains be?
They had a rough idea, but dared not think about it too deeply, knowing that it would lead to an answer that would leave them feeling hopeless.

With the Ming Dynasty so powerful, how could they possibly survive?

……

At this time, the capital city was in an uproar.

When Zhu Jinzhen bestowed this blessing, under the influence of the national fortune, his voice was like a magnificent heavenly sound, clearly resounding in the ears of the world, so they could all hear it perfectly.

As the rain of light fell, the entire capital city was instantly transformed by a myriad of changing scenes.

Many sick or disabled people experienced miraculous regeneration of severed limbs and broken arms in what they considered a divinely miraculous rain, and elderly people who were on the verge of death suddenly became energetic and vigorous.

Those hunched-over old people straightened their backs and walked briskly.

Many martial artists gathered in the capital, their cultivation levels soaring. Some martial artists reached the Vajra Realm in the ninth rank, and some even achieved the Finger Profound Realm. Some even broke through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm directly from the Finger Profound Realm.

Li Garden in the capital.

Li Xunhuan, who was already terminally ill, was carried out by Tie Chuanjia and placed in the courtyard to get rained on.

In a short while, Li Xunhuan, who was already seriously ill from lovesickness, was surprised to find that his lung disease had completely disappeared, and even his cultivation, which had not progressed for many years, was rising rapidly in an instant.

"This is……"

"Was it a reward from His Majesty the Emperor?"

Li Xunhuan looked up at the sky, unable to tell whether he was sad or happy. He was a man who was about to die, so it was naturally something to be happy about that he could be reborn, his illness could be cured, and even his cultivation could be greatly improved.

But thinking back to Lin Shiyin's words outside Jiayuguan, Li Xunhuan couldn't feel happy at all.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a domineering aura emanated from beside me.

Li Xunhuan turned his head and saw that Tie Chuanjia's blood and qi were surging. He had broken through the Vajra Realm and directly stepped into the Finger Profound Realm. Only then did a relieved smile bloom on his face: "Your blood and qi have reached the Profound Realm, and your physical body is like Vajra armor. Tie Chuanjia, your Hundred-Layer Iron Armor Technique has finally been perfected!"

Of all the martial arts in the world, the most difficult to master is the path of physical training. It requires countless years of hard work and the assistance of numerous powerful medicines. It requires relentless effort to gradually improve the strength of the body and the body's energy.

The advantage is that, within the same realm, those who specialize in external martial arts often far surpass those who specialize in internal strength.

With his profound and unparalleled skill, he could even hold his own against a typical grandmaster of celestial phenomena.

"Haha, thanks to the young master."

"Oh no, it's thanks to His Majesty the Emperor that I, Tie Chuanjia, have had the opportunity to reach the Horizontal Cultivation realm, comparable to the Finger Profound Realm." Tie Chuanjia's face was beaming with a happy smile. Horizontal Cultivation Finger Profound Realm, Hundred Satin Iron Armor Technique has been perfected.

If Li Xunhuan hadn't made further progress in his cultivation and entered the Celestial Realm, Tie Chuanjia would have been 40% confident that he could have survived Li Xunhuan's flying knife.

After all, Li Xunhuan's throwing knives were not only accurate in hitting their targets, but also in killing without fail.

Don't be too happy too soon.

"We've been fortunate enough to be here; the capital city is probably..."

Before Li Xunhuan could finish speaking, powerful and domineering auras rose up in the capital city as if stimulated by something, including the auras of peak-level Profound Realm Masters, Celestial Grandmasters, and even Land Immortals.

In an instant, it spread like wildfire throughout the capital, just like a hundred flowers blooming.

The most eye-catching of these is the location on Suzaku Avenue and guarding the nine gates of the capital.

In those places, the aura of celestial grandmasters and terrestrial immortals is boiling.
