The Cycle of Reincarnation in the Four-Courtyard House: A Journey Through the Heavens

Everyone felt an incredibly powerful force rushing directly towards the large blue stone.

"boom--"

When Lu Yuan and the others walked over and took a look, they all gasped in shock.

On the large blue stone, there was a handprint that was at least an inch deep.

The most terrifying thing is that the bluestone surrounding the palm print did not show a single crack, as if the palm print was naturally sculpted there.

What does this tell us?

This demonstrates that Li Xiao's application of internal energy and control over force have already reached a level of consummate skill and complete mastery!

"Chief, is this... this internal energy?"

As the eldest brother of these super soldiers, Lu Yuan's tone was filled with shock and trembling.

They were all transported from some unknown world by the system, and had never heard of such a miraculous cultivation method as internal energy before.

Now that they have witnessed their leader unleash this miraculous palm strike, they naturally feel extremely longing and envious.

Li Xiao chuckled and said, "You don't need to envy me. In this world of martial arts, you also have the opportunity to learn these amazing techniques, and you will have the same abilities as me in the future!"

"Haha, that's great!"

Upon hearing Li Xiao's words, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

Li Xiao's subordinates had all been enhanced by the system. Although their physical strength was not as good as Li Xiao's, it was still five times that of an ordinary person.

Li Xiao believed that once these super soldiers began to cultivate their internal strength, their talent would far surpass that of ordinary people!

"Now get ready, all of you head to Leigu Mountain. My senior brother is waiting for you there. I have other matters to attend to and don't have time to teach you internal energy cultivation right now, but my senior brother will teach you in my place. You must all cultivate diligently!"

"Yes, Chief!"

Li Xiao then looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Lu Yuan, when you have time, use the smelting equipment in the space to remelt those silver winter melons and silver ingots. We have an extremely important mission in this world, which is to stop the Jin army from advancing south!"

"I believe you are all aware of what will happen in the future. In 26 years, the Jin army will breach Bianliang (Kaifeng), and the humiliation of the Jingkang Incident will be repeated. Therefore, our primary task is to prevent this disgraceful event from happening!"

"yes!"

Li Xiao solemnly addressed everyone present, saying, "You will only have one year to cultivate at Leigu Mountain."

"One year from now, Shen Chuan, Fan Wenfang, Gu Ming, and Zhang Meilan, the four of you will immediately go to the Western Xia Kingdom to secretly recruit soldiers and infiltrate its capital and royal family. I need you to bring the entire Western Xia Kingdom under your control within ten years. How about it? Can you do it?"

The four men immediately stood up straight and gave Li Xiao a standard military salute.

"Please rest assured, Chief, I will certainly not fail in my mission!"

"good!"

Li Xiao continued, "Once the mission is complete, you will utilize the troops of the Western Xia Kingdom to build a modern army and begin your march to the southwest region to take over Tibet!"

As soon as Li Xiao finished speaking, the system's voice immediately rang in his mind.

"Host, this world does not allow the existence of overly advanced firearms; otherwise, the will of this world will forcibly expel you!"

Li Xiao was startled upon hearing this and immediately asked, "What if I manufacture firearms in this world? Can I use them?"

A few seconds later, the system's voice came again.

"The firearms you manufacture in this world cannot exceed the level of those produced during World War II!"

Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"Remember this: the modern weapons in our space supermarket cannot be used, otherwise we will all be forcibly expelled by the will of this world."

"However, we can manufacture firearms in this world, as long as they don't exceed the level of World War II!"

After thinking it over carefully, Li Xiao continued, "I suggest we locate this arsenal in Liaodong, where there are both coal and iron mines."

The twenty super subordinates were also shocked. They never expected that this world would have its own will.

However, after hearing the leader's explanation, they immediately nodded to indicate that they understood.

Li Xiao then looked at Lu Yuan and the others.

"Lu Yuan, you, Wang Xiuying, along with Xu Mo, Du Hongmei, Lin Fei, and Chen Shuzhen, will infiltrate the upper echelons of the Song Dynasty. We still have a vast amount of gold and silver in our storage space. Whether through coercion, bribery, poisoning, or control, I want you to seize control of the Song Dynasty's court within ten years!"

Li Xiao sighed heavily as he finished speaking.

"The phenomenon of valuing civil officials over military ones in the imperial court of this era is far too serious. Using civil officials to control the military, and having laymen lead experts into battle, is simply a joke!"

Li Xiao's expression revealed deep disdain: "With the Song Dynasty's current fighting strength, trying to defeat the Jin army more than twenty years later is simply a pipe dream!"

"Therefore, we must break this corrupt system, break the Song dynasty's ideology of 'sharing the world with the scholar-officials,' and even break the shackles of Confucianism that hinder the progress of this era, in order to allow the Han army to regain its formidable fighting power!"

"The Confucian saying 'strange skills and frivolous crafts' has obscured the great inventions of countless ancient sages."

"We all came from modern society, so I think when the time is right, we will gradually replace people's thinking and cognition in this era with scientific ideas."

"While the scientific knowledge each of you possesses may not be at the expert level, it is at least at the undergraduate level!"

"So you twenty people are twenty sparks of hope. I hope that within thirty years, you can spread the idea that 'mastering math, physics, and chemistry will make you fearless anywhere in the world' across this land, and that all the people will agree with this view!"

Upon hearing Li Xiao's words, the twenty top subordinates' eyes shone with determination and excitement. Lu Yuan said firmly, "Please rest assured, leader, we will certainly live up to your expectations!"

In the end, only five couples remained, including Xiao Rui and Jiang Hui.

"Xiao Rui, you, Jiang Hui, and Fu Yun, along with your wives, will go to the Liao Kingdom in the north a year from now to infiltrate and infiltrate. Your mission is the same as Shen Chuan's: no matter what means you use, you must seize control of the Liao Kingdom's military and political power!"

"yes!"

He finally looked at Song Xuan and Qin Feng and said, "You two go to Dali. Your mission is the same as theirs. As for how to take Dali, I believe you can figure out a way. After taking Dali, prepare your army to march south and conquer Annam as well!"

"Yes, Chief!"

Li Xiao then discussed the follow-up details with his subordinates in detail, and it wasn't until almost dawn that he parted ways with them.

After daybreak, Li Xiao bought a horse for Zhong Ling in a nearby county town, and the two rode towards Wanjie Valley.

It was Zhong Ling's request to go to Wanjie Valley.

She had been away from the valley for over a year and was starting to miss her parents. So, after leaving Leigu Mountain, Li Xiao planned to take her back with him.

Zhong Ling is currently unaware of her own origins, so she has always regarded Zhong Wanchou as her biological father and holds him in the highest esteem.

Zhong Wanchou, however, knew very well that Zhong Ling was the daughter of his wife Gan Baobao and Prince Duan Zhengchun of Dali.

Even so, Zhong Wanchou still loved Zhong Ling as much as he loved her, treating her like a precious gem.

Zhong Ling was raised by him and Gan Baobao in Wanjie Valley from a young age. She was lively and charming, and had no sense of the embarrassment of living under someone else's roof. This was the result of Zhong Wanchou's doting on her.
