Wuxia Across the Heavens: I Collect Side Effects

Chapter 100 Departure

This world simply cannot accommodate the existence of those at the Innate Realm, which is why the system panel defines this transcendent realm as "Breaking Boundaries".

As the name suggests, it is about breaking the boundaries of this world and opening a passage to all the heavens and myriad realms. The Thousand Spider Poison Hand's boundary-breaking technique is the key to opening this passage.

He regained his composure and scanned his surroundings. The surviving Mongol soldiers were terrified, their faces filled with fear, heads bowed, not daring to meet his gaze. They trembled uncontrollably, unable to even grip their weapons, clearly thoroughly stunned by Su Xin's earlier display of power and strangeness.

Su Xin looked at the system panel again. The countdown, which was originally sixty minutes long, had now reached five minutes. The jumping numbers reminded him that the time to travel was approaching.

He suddenly thought of Zhu Yuanzhang, of this chaotic world, and of the Han people who had suffered under the oppression of the Mongol Yuan dynasty. A resolute look flashed in his eyes. He should do something for them!

He then channeled his inner energy, spreading his voice throughout the entire square, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"Whoever can destroy the Yuan Dynasty, end this chaotic world, and lead the Han people to prosperity will inherit my legacy! This world is already in utter chaos. Whoever can end this chaos and save the people will be a national hero, blessed with merit and longevity, and the Han people will prosper! If there are those with exceptional talent, they too can break through boundaries with martial arts and reach even higher realms, just like me!"

Su Xin's expression remained calm and undisturbed, yet his words carried an undeniable power, like a proverb, resounding throughout every corner of Wudang Mountain.

At this moment, he was surrounded by a faint halo, his expression was sacred, and he slowly raised his eyes to look at the sky as if on a pilgrimage, already prepared to leave.

"I should go too," he said softly, his voice low but carrying a hint of relief and nonchalance. Then, he silently chanted to the system in his mind, "Transmigrate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling white light descended from the sky, instantly enveloping Su Xin. The white light was soft yet brilliant, illuminating the entire Wudang Mountain.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Su Xin's figure gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared completely in the white light, leaving only that dazzling white light slowly dissipating into the air.

The square was deathly silent; everyone stood there dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.

Zhang Sanfeng's Zhenwu Sword drooped slightly, his eyes filled with shock and bewilderment as he murmured to himself, "Could there really be a celestial realm in this world? Is there really a path to transcend the mortal realm?"

A moment later, he slowly came to his senses, recalling Su Xin's instantaneous recovery from his injuries, that strange and powerful short-range force, and that incredible breakthrough at the end. All his doubts instantly cleared up: "So, that's the legendary Innate Realm! A realm I've spent my entire life trying to reach but never succeeded!"

Thinking of this, a hint of sadness flashed in Zhang Sanfeng's eyes, and he sighed softly.

Su Xin's breakthrough today is largely due to this epic duel with him, which provided him with the opportunity to achieve it.

But what about himself?

Having lived for over a hundred years, he was already the best in the world, with no rivals left. To go any further was as difficult as climbing to heaven. Only he himself could understand this loneliness and regret.

As for Su Xin's talk of accumulating merit and enjoying longevity, he no longer cared.

With half his body buried in the earth, he had long since seen through life and death and should accept his fate.

On the other side, Yin Li stared in the direction where Su Xin had disappeared, her eyes filled with reluctance and loneliness, tears welling up in her eyes, but she held them back from falling.

She suddenly remembered the two books Su Xin had given her before, and instantly found her direction:

She needs to cultivate diligently until she has enough strength and can do what Su Xin said before exploring the secrets of the inheritance.

Before that, she needs to find the Dragon Slayer Sword.

"The supreme martial arts weapon, the Dragon-Slaying Saber, commands the world, none dare disobey! Without the Heaven-Reliant Sword, who can contend with it?"

Only by wielding the Dragon-Slaying Saber can one command the world, have the chance to gain merit, and fulfill Su Xin's expectations.

As for breaking through boundaries with martial arts, she was self-aware enough to know that it was a height she could never reach, so she could only put it aside for the time being.

The news of Su Xin's departure spread like wildfire throughout the martial arts world.

The originally scattered rebel army has grown in number at a visible rate. Countless martial arts practitioners have joined the rebel army, and many martial arts masters have even taken charge. Their goal is the inheritance that Su Xin mentioned, and the opportunity to break through the boundaries with martial arts.

Su Xin's seemingly casual promise ignited a prairie fire, fueling the people's will to resist the Yuan Dynasty and plunging the Mongol Yuan court into a position of universal condemnation, thus accelerating the Yuan Dynasty's demise.

Ji Xiaofu stood in the crowd, looking in the direction where Su Xin had disappeared. She felt no reluctance, but rather a strange sense of relief.

In her view, Su Xin did not belong to this mortal world. He was too powerful and too mysterious, like a star in the sky, born to step into a higher world. Leaving this place was perhaps the best destination for him.

Leaving aside what Su Xin did in the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, Su Xin was already carrying a package and was being delivered to the foot of Mount Hua by the people of Fuwei Escort Agency.

At the foot of Mount Hua, the mountain path paved with bluestone winds its way upwards, and amidst the swirling clouds and mist, the outline of the Huashan Sect's mountain gate can be vaguely seen.

A simply decorated carriage slowly came to a stop. Several men dressed in镖服 (bodyguard uniforms) and with single-edged swords at their waists quickly stepped forward and respectfully handed a blue package to the young man beside the carriage.

This young man was Su Xin. However, at this moment, he had shed the sharpness and brilliance of the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. He was dressed in a plain long robe, and although his face was still handsome, he had become more reserved. His aura was concealed, and he was no different from an ordinary young master from a noble family.

In reality, it is no different from the ordinary.

All his martial arts skills had long been returned to the system, and everything had to start anew.

"Young Master Ning, the Huashan Sect's mountain gate is just ahead. We will leave you here and take our leave."

The lead镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) bowed respectfully. They were from the Fuwei镖局 (escort agency), entrusted by an "old friend" to safely escort Su Xin to the foot of Mount Hua.

Although they did not know the boy's origins, they could tell that he was no ordinary person and dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Su Xin took the package, nodded slightly, and said in a calm tone, "Thank you all for your help."

After the people from Fuwei Escort Agency turned and left, he looked up at the majestic Mount Hua, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

That's right, he traveled to the world of Swordsman.

As for why they came, the purpose is far more complicated than it appears on the surface.

On the surface, he was traveling thousands of miles to find his relatives and seek refuge with his aunt Ning Zhongze, hoping to find a place to stay as the last surviving member of the Ning family.

But in reality...
