Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 103 The Background of the Ming Palace
Under the guidance of the old eunuch, the two quickly passed through the inner city and reached the imperial city.

After entering the palace, Xu Qing immediately noticed that countless eyes were staring at him in the dark.

These people's way of hiding is extremely exquisite, as if they have merged with the shadows.

But he couldn't avoid Xu Qing's spiritual perception.

His heart moved slightly, and his mental power swept over the figures in the dark. Each of them had a good aura and deep internal strength, not much weaker than the first-class masters in the world.

Such a large number of top-notch masters, just the ones he could find, far exceeded the top-notch masters from all the sects in the martial arts world.

This is still in the dark, but in the open, there are tens of thousands of imperial guards guarding the palace.

Xu Qing was not surprised that a dynasty could have such strength.

The dynasty has such enormous resources that it can gather most of the best talents in the world.

In this situation, it would be strange if there were not many people with great martial arts skills.

Take the old eunuch who led the way, for example. He was not necessarily the strongest person in the Ming Dynasty Palace.

His strength is comparable to that of the top masters in the martial arts world.

But even with such a master, Xu Qing still believed that the other party was not the strongest in the Ming Dynasty.

All the guards who were secretly observing Xu Qing had their eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Xu Qing's reputation is now known throughout the world. He is the best in the world and deserves the title.

They had heard of such a person a long time ago.

But this is the first time I've seen him in person.

Many people were frightened. Even though Xu Qing did not burst out his blood and true energy, he still gave people a very dangerous feeling.

That is the invisible aura that naturally flows out of the strong.

This energy is enough to make everyone feel heavy-hearted and set off alarm bells.

At the same time, they were also shocked by Xu Qing's mental outlook.

This number one in the world really looks too young.

He looks to be in his early twenties.

But everyone knows each other's exact age, which is much older than what appears!
"No wonder people call him a True Immortal. He's so young yet so incredibly powerful. He's truly extraordinary, and incomparable to ordinary people!"

"Yes, such a person is truly like an immortal descending to earth. Every move he makes contains an unfathomable aura."

"Too powerful! Rumor has it that this Mr. Yue killed Dongfang Bubai with just three punches. The so-called peak showdown was a complete crushing defeat."

Everyone was shocked, and the shock could be seen in their eyes.

As Xu Qing walked along, he saw many figures with profound skills and nodded secretly.

The Ming Dynasty was so powerful that it was no wonder that even the masters of the martial arts world did not dare to offend it easily.

At most, they just talk about it, but no one really dares to set foot in the imperial palace in the capital.

The imperial palace, with so many powerful people and troops, is definitely the safest place in the world.

Even the top masters in the martial arts world have to behave themselves when they come here.

The old eunuch led the way and secretly observed Xu Qing's expression. Seeing that Xu Qing remained calm, he was amazed:
Just how strong was this person? He had seen so many powerful warriors in the inner court of the Imperial Palace, yet he remained calm.

He was confident that even Dongfang Bubai would break out in a cold sweat upon stepping into the palace.

It's totally unfathomable!
The old eunuch felt a sinking feeling in his heart, not knowing who was stronger between the ancestor and this man?

My mind was full of thoughts, but my pace was not slow.

Soon, the old eunuch brought Xu Qing to the West Garden.

Emperor Jiajing rarely attended morning court sessions and spent most of his time staying in the Western Garden.

After entering the West Garden, Xu Qing clearly sensed the aura of three people whose strength was no less than that of the old eunuch who led the way, and he immediately approached them quickly.

"Interesting, are there four top-level masters in the martial arts world?"

Xu Qing's heart moved slightly. Should I say that this is worthy of being the place where Emperor Jiajing lived in seclusion?

Speaking of the Jiajing Emperor, he was an extremely skilled ruler. Even though he didn't attend the morning court and appeared to be indifferent to state affairs, he knew everything that was happening in the world. In fact, in the beginning, Jiajing was not like this. He worked hard and diligently to govern the country.

Made many achievements, but as he grew older.

He felt increasingly powerless, and like emperors of all dynasties, he began to seek immortality by seeking the way of immortality.

So, Jiajing became obsessed with practicing Taoism, and in order to seek immortality, he gradually acted as if he didn't care about state affairs.

Now, Emperor Jiajing wanted to see Xu Qing. Xu Qing speculated that the reason was closely related to his desire for immortality.

After passing through numerous checkpoints, the old eunuch led Xu Qing to a majestic palace, which turned out to be the Renshou Palace, an important place where Jiajing practiced Taoism and handled government affairs.

"Mr. Yue, please wait here for a moment." The old eunuch stopped and said to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing nodded slightly, a gleam in his eyes.

As he let the old eunuch pass on the message, an interesting look flashed across Xu Qing's face.

As soon as he set foot in front of Renshou Palace, Xu Qing felt a powerful aura locking onto him.

"Interesting, really interesting!"

Xu Qing whispered in his heart that the power of this aura was even stronger than that of Dongfang Bubai.

It is obvious that the owner of that aura is the strongest person in the imperial palace.

Moreover, he is also a powerful person who has reached the realm of unity between man and nature.

As for whether the other party has truly reached the Grandmaster level.

Xu Qing felt that the other party was not at that stage yet.

For a strong person at the Grandmaster level, the unity of man and nature is a prerequisite. The real key step is to let the power of heaven and earth flow through the whole body, and then temper one's own true qi and transform it into a more powerful innate true qi.

Why is it called innate true qi? Naturally, it is because such true qi is no longer formed through one's own essence, but is formed by borrowing the power of heaven and earth.

Only those who can completely refine their own true qi into innate true qi through the power of heaven and earth can be true masters.

Of course, this is the path to becoming a master in the way of true qi.

He is just a master of Qi Dao, one of the three paths of essence, energy and spirit.

In Xu Qing's opinion, a master of physical qi and blood is no worse than a master of innate true qi, and may even be stronger in close combat.

If one wants to reach the level of a Grandmaster physically, he or she needs to complete the step of refining the internal organs in the inner training.

All the internal organs are tempered to be as indestructible as steel, and their functions are strengthened to an inhuman level. The internal organs and limbs are thoroughly cleansed to achieve the mastery of physical qi and blood.

Once this step is reached, the Qi and blood in the whole body will become strong again, reaching the level of a long river of Qi and blood.

A burst of strength burst out, even more ferocious than the innate true qi.

As for the master of the spiritual path, Xu Qing did not make too many deductions.

It’s just that there are spiritual martial arts in this world, but he has never seen them until now.

Therefore, when it comes to the path of the gods, Xu Qing is far inferior to his physical body and true energy.

But with the help of the power of [Gate of All Heavens], his mental power is still extremely terrifying.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Xu Qing came back to his senses and sensed the power of the Qi again.

Finally, it was confirmed that the other party's true energy was not even at the Grandmaster level.

If he becomes a master, it will create considerable pressure and threat for Xu Qing.

But it was obvious that his spiritual perception did not produce any sense of danger.

This speaks volumes.

The strongest man in the palace is stronger than Dongfang Bubai, but not much stronger.

In a short period of time, Xu Qing had a thorough understanding of the strength of the strongest man in the imperial palace.
