Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Two months passed in the blink of an eye. Under Xu Qing's will, all the major and minor sects in the Central Plains martial arts world sent their masters across the sea to Japan.

Then, in coordination with the four major halls of the World Society, they waged a two-month war of annihilation against Japan.

In just two months, Japan was destroyed, and there was not a single Japanese left on the island nation.

The fact that this country, which posed a great threat to the Central Plains, was destroyed within two months seems exaggerated, but in reality, the speed was already considered slow.

After all, this involved the combined strength of the entire Central Plains martial arts world and the World Alliance, with even a powerful figure like Wuming, who had reached the level of supernatural abilities, making a move.

If Xu Qing hadn't been in seclusion, refining his supernatural martial arts skills, he wouldn't have been involved in this matter.

If he were to take action personally, Japan would be destroyed in less than a month.

Because Xu Qing is so powerful now, he could sink the entire Japanese island in no time if he went all out!

After completing the war of annihilation against Japan, the World Society integrated Japan's resources and brought them back to the Central Plains, strengthening its foundation once again.

The fact that Japan could become the greatest calamity for China is enough to show that this country is not simple, and the martial arts sects and lineages of Japan should not be underestimated.

Now all of this will become the foundation of the World Society.

When all the leaders of the sects in the Central Plains returned, the world was shocked.

Even ordinary people heard the news that Japan had angered the supreme martial arts master and was thus facing annihilation.

Upon hearing this, the small states surrounding the Central Plains of China were filled with fear of the World Society.

He warned his people that they must never provoke the World Association.

The emperor of the Central Plains court was also worried when he heard about this. The power of the World Society was growing stronger and stronger. Previously, it only ruled the martial arts world, but now it had even destroyed a country.

With such power, even he, the supreme ruler of the court, would be afraid to make a move against him.

The emperor of the Central Plains court was filled with anxiety and worry, but later discovered that the World Society had not taken any action against the court.

The World Society still only governs matters within the martial arts world and does not interfere in matters concerning ordinary people.

Moreover, upon learning that Xu Qing had returned to the World Society and entered seclusion for cultivation again, the emperor of the Central Plains breathed a sigh of relief.

He could also see that Xu Qing seemed uninterested in the position of the ruler of a country.

As long as he doesn't provoke the World Society, the entire martial arts world, under its rule, is actually more orderly and peaceful than before.

This greatly helped the emperors of the Central Plains dynasties in governing the country.

However, even though he knew that the world had no intention of vying for his position as the ruler of the court, he could not do nothing as the ruler of the court.

He issued an imperial edict, appointing Xu Qing as the supreme martial arts master of the Central Plains, bestowing upon him the title of guardian of the land, and placing him on equal footing with the emperor.

Upon hearing of this, Qin Shuang took over the imperial decree on behalf of Xu Qing.

During Xu Qing's seclusion, Qin Shuang took charge of the World Society, and Qin Shuang made all the decisions.

However, for such an important matter, Qin Shuang consulted Xu Qing before accepting the decree, and only after receiving Xu Qing's permission did she accept it.

In the days that followed, the World Society flourished, with more and more disciples emerging, and those who reached the level of first-class masters springing up like mushrooms after rain.

This time, Xu Qing's seclusion lasted for three years.

Over the course of those three years, he organized the divine martial arts he had acquired and integrated them into his own fundamental technique, the "Martial Scripture," greatly enhancing the potential and level of this fundamental technique.

Furthermore, he cultivated each of the supernatural abilities he acquired to a state of perfection.

As his strength increased, he gained more and more mastery of the power of the [All Heavens Gate], and the heaven-defying ability of [Enlightenment Moment] provided Xu Qing with ever-greater assistance.

He sat cross-legged in the training room, undergoing nine blood exchanges and nine refinements of true essence, and also made considerable progress in refining his acupoints.

Now, he has opened and refined as many as 108 acupoints, and with the integration of his supernatural power, each acupoint has faintly developed divinity!
That was the God of Acupoints, formed by the power of the stars in the heavens, the true essence within his own acupoints, and Xu Qing's will.

However, it is still in its nascent stage, and three years is not enough time to fully solidify it. But such progress represents another huge breakthrough in Xu Qing's strength compared to three years ago.

The blood exchange and true essence tempering have been completely completed. From now on, the main focus of cultivation should be on refining the apertures.

The method of refining the acupoints, [Zhou Tian Xing Chen Refining Acupoint Method], which he deduced from the "War God Record" of the Great Sui world, was further improved by Xu Qing during these three years of seclusion.

The formation of this acupoint deity is its greatest change.

Today, he ended his seclusion and stepped out of the training room.

He was like the embodiment of a black hole, devouring all the energy and even light around him. Illusory gods sat in his acupoints, cultivating and practicing the divine-level martial arts that Xu Qing had mastered.

These deities can greatly enhance Xu Qing's mastery of martial arts and also allow him to constantly deduce the supernatural powers.

In other words, Xu Qing's strength increased with each breath.

He is constantly getting stronger, and the speed of his growth is accelerating, aiming to create a huge gap between him and all the god-level powerhouses in the world!

Upon learning that Xu Qing had emerged from seclusion, Qin Shuang immediately came to report to him on the development of the World Society over the past three years.

As Xu Qing listened, he observed his eldest disciple's aura and progress in strength. With a casual sweep of his divine sense, he was able to fully grasp Qin Shuang's martial arts advancement.

Three years have passed, and Qin Shuang's blood transfusion has reached the level of the fourth blood transfusion. The tempering of her five internal organs has also reached a very strong level. It is clear that Qin Shuang has made a breakthrough in the Five Qi Gathering at the Origin Divine Power.

If the Fist God from three years ago were to fight Qin Shuang now, Xu Qing was certain that without the help of others, the Fist God would be killed by Qin Shuang!
"Your martial arts have improved well. It seems that you haven't neglected your martial arts while managing the World Society these past three years."

After listening to the development of the World Society, Xu Qing smiled and patted Qin Shuang on the shoulder.

"Most of the affairs disciples have been handed over to Wen Chou Chou, so they have plenty of time to cultivate," Qin Shuang said with a slight smile.

Xu Qing nodded in satisfaction. He clearly understood the priorities; his disciple was very clever and wouldn't let a small matter cause him to lose sight of the bigger picture.

Looking at Qin Shuang's mature and composed demeanor, Xu Qing suddenly asked with a smile, "You're not getting any younger, do you have a girl you like?"

Qin Shuang is almost thirty years old now. For Qin Shuang, who has stepped into the realm of supernatural powers and has a lifespan of hundreds of years, this age is naturally nothing.

Normally, children of this age can walk.

Qin Shuang was still all alone.

Qin Shuang shook her head: "This disciple has no intention of starting a family."

He now wields immense power, controls the World Society, and possesses unparalleled martial arts skills, making him second only to the world's top martial artist.

Countless sect leaders in the martial arts world wanted to marry their daughters to him.

But Qin Shuang didn't have such thoughts yet, or rather, he wasn't interested in other women.

"It's time to settle down." Xu Qing smiled, then asked, "What do you think of You Ruo?"

Qin Shuang was stunned upon hearing this, and the image of You Ruo's flawless face appeared in her mind. Every smile and frown was full of charm and captivating.

Does Master mean he wants You Ruo to marry me?
To be honest, he naturally had different feelings for You Ruo.

"Master, I think it's best to respect You Ruo's opinion on her marriage." Qin Shuang said after considering it for a moment.

He did have feelings for You Ruo, but he was unwilling to force her.

Xu Qing understood; this eldest disciple had You Ruo in his heart. He nodded with a smile.

You Ruo's opinion should indeed be respected in this matter, after all, a forced relationship will not be happy.

Moreover, he did not want You Ruo to be harmed.
