I became a Sword Emperor in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 194 Create a Person to Play With

Yan Xiyue and Yao Yexin were also secretly watching Ye Qingzhou. When they saw this scene, they were naturally shocked and their faces turned pale.

"Harmony between humanity and nature, and a state of constant freedom and stability?"

"This person's cultivation of Qi and spirit is truly incredible."

Both women are exceptional individuals, and their martial arts aptitude is outstanding, making them the Holy Maiden and Demoness of the Hehuan Sect.

In ancient times, a saintly woman could bring prosperity to a country in times of peace, while a femme fatale could bring ruin to a country in times of chaos. Both were peerless talents who could influence the fate of a dynasty and the course of the world.

However, in their eyes, Ye Qingzhou's cultivation level was still far beyond their reach, and they could not even come close to him.

The state of harmony between humanity and nature is the fusion of one's own vital energy with that of heaven and earth.

The state of being at ease and constant stillness is the enlightenment of the mind, never regressing, maintaining a state of deep meditation at all times, and making the spirit complete and perfect.

"With such skill, who among his peers could be his match?"

Although Yao Ye was unwilling to admit it, she could indeed see the huge gap between herself and Ye Qingzhou at this moment, a gap that could not be bridged by effort alone.

Even if she were to obtain Huang Liwen's essence and yang energy now, and break through the Six Desires Devouring Demon God Scripture, she would probably still be no match for Ye Qingzhou.

Yan Xiyue sighed softly: "I have met Wu Yuelong of the Divine Gang Path, Huang Guanghong of the Heart Fiend Stream, Wang Huaxian of Sanqing Mountain, and Li Jianshu, the disciple of Tianjian Sikong Jingming. They are all outstanding figures among the human race in this world, but none of them can compare to Ye Qingzhou."

As if struck by a sudden thought, Yao Yexin exclaimed, "Do you think he might be the chosen one of Blue Star?"

"That is indeed a possibility."

Yan Xiyue nodded, her expression grave: "Alas, Blue Star has been targeted by the Divine Dynasty. Thousands of years ago, if it weren't for Emperor Xuan, one of the Five Emperors, using the method of severing the connection between heaven and earth to close the Heavenly Gate and cut off the primordial energy tides, Blue Star would have long fallen into the control of the Divine Dynasty. Unfortunately, sealing the heavens was merely a temporary measure. For thousands of years, Blue Star has been affected by the primordial energy tides approximately every three hundred years..."

"If we calculate the time, the primordial energy surged again two hundred years ago, which means that a hundred years later, the primordial energy tide will reach its peak. At that time, the Heavenly Gate will definitely open again, and once the Divine Dynasty descends, it will be the beginning of the final calamity of Blue Star."

Under the protection of the cave, Yan Xiyue and Yao Yexin's Hehuan Sect inherited many historical texts from ancient times, so their lineage was not interrupted and they knew many secrets from ancient times.

In fact, the high-ranking officials of the Eastern Pole Kingdom had already learned the truth about these secrets through the various cultural relics unearthed from the cave.

They simply didn't announce it to the public for fear of causing public panic.

Over the years, the "South Heavenly Gate Project," which the Eastern Pole Kingdom has been actively preparing, is aimed at keeping enemies outside its borders.

Unfortunately, there are quite a few collaborators within Earth itself. The Western Kingdom and Europe have basically given up resistance and are only thinking about selling Earth for a good price.

Therefore, over the years, they have been conducting bloodline modification experiments to "change their blood" and become "gods," believing that as long as they do so, the divine dynasty will accept them.

Yan Xiyue and Yao Yexin both saw this and secretly felt contempt.

"Now that demons are running rampant in the Western Kingdom and Europe, and the people are in turmoil, the seal of the Heavenly Gate probably won't last a hundred years. Even thirty years might not be enough."

Yao Yexin complained, "Sigh, the Yuan Qi Tide impacts us every three hundred years. After thousands of years, the Absolute Heaven-Connecting Array has probably reached its limit. I wonder if we can escape this calamity."

"The grotto-heaven survived the last cataclysmic disaster back then, so it should be able to do so this time as well."

Even so, Yan Xiyue didn't have much confidence.

Ten thousand years ago, the Divine Dynasty used its supreme power to attack the world's barrier, triggering a great calamity. In those days, the heavens shattered and stars fell. It was the Azure Emperor Fuxi and the Yin Empress Nuwa who led the people of the five tribes to fight to the death and finally repelled the Divine Dynasty's power, preserving the spark of civilization on Earth.

Human civilization at that time was extremely powerful, and had even mastered space technology, enabling them to create artificial caverns and other spatial constructs, thus preparing for interstellar exploration and colonization.

The caves, which served as "star palaces," totaled 365. They were all sent out of the sky by the Yin Empress Nuwa with her divine power, flying around the blue planet and becoming a huge ecosystem similar to a colony satellite.

Each grotto-heaven is guarded by a powerful mythical life form.

The twenty-eight largest grotto-heavens are each guarded by twenty-eight star deities, forming the Zhou Tian Star Array together with other medium and small grotto-heavens.

With the help of the five tribes of hair, feathers, insects, scales, and snails, the Azure Emperor Fuxi established the Heavenly Court, soaring through the nine heavens to govern the four poles and protect the entire Blue Star civilization.

Unfortunately, all of this vanished with the arrival of the divine dynasty.

The Heavenly Court collapsed, the grotto-heavens fell, countless powerful figures from the five races died or were injured, and many races retreated into their grotto-heavens, avoiding the world. The continuous natural disasters lasted for hundreds of years.

Human civilization can only begin in the wilderness, starting from scratch.

Three hundred years of turmoil shattered civilization. Those who did not seek refuge in the caves survived with difficulty, but they had long since become like wild beasts, eating raw meat and drinking blood. Civilization regressed to the Stone Age.

Those survivors who escaped into the cave were reborn and regarded as gods and immortals by the humans outside, leaving behind a series of popular myths and legends.

In fact, both are descendants of the ancient human race and share the same bloodline.

This is why, nowadays, the grotto-heavens forces within the Eastern Pole Kingdom that are dominated by human forces generally maintain good relations with the Eastern Pole Kingdom.

After all, we all share the same ancestor and the same bloodline, so we can chat together.

As for the Jiuli Cave Heaven, it is dominated by the Mao tribe, which is why it has been hostile to the Dongji Kingdom for many years and even maintains the barbaric custom of cannibalism.

Compared to the carefree lives of the people of Dongji Kingdom, Yan Xiyue and Yao Yexin faced much greater pressure to survive. After all, the final calamity of Blue Star was imminent, and if they wanted to survive in the apocalypse, they had no choice but to improve their strength at all costs.

This is why they voluntarily transferred to Linjiang No. 1 Middle School to get closer to Huang Liwen.

Ye Qingzhou's ability to become friends with Huang Liwen, the reincarnation of the Yellow Emperor, and to receive the inheritance of the Yan Emperor, makes him seem like the chosen one of Blue Star.

Otherwise, how could he be so lucky?

clang~ clang~ clang~

After returning home from school, Ye Qingzhou continued to tinker with his "life-size figure," which he fused with divine metal, sharp metal, and nine-heavenly black iron to form the skeleton of the combat puppet.

The divine metal was infused with a large amount of innate Geng metal energy, which transformed its properties, making the material exceptionally strong and indestructible.

This three-in-one super alloy has astonishing strength and can even absorb impacts and convert them into internal energy, making it extremely superior in combat performance.

Afterwards, Ye Qingzhou combined divine gold, true gold, and purple gold to create a soft metal thread, which was then woven into muscle bundles. The divine gold was infused with a large amount of innate Xin metal energy, making it more flexible and allowing it to gain greater explosive power after the input of true energy.

And so, the skeleton and muscles of the battle puppet were completed.

The remaining task was to install the refined and activated organs one by one.

In the end, a combat puppet with the same height as Ye Qingzhou was successfully created.

Ye Qingzhou also specially prepared a set of bionic skin for it, so the whole doll was lifelike and used Ye Qingzhou's appearance from her previous life. From a distance, it looked no different from a living person.

"My lord, what an exquisite puppet!"

Yingyue, carrying tea, appeared beside Ye Qingzhou, her bright eyes scrutinizing the combat puppet before her for a few moments: "But how do you plan to control it?"

"That is indeed a problem."

Ye Qingzhou stroked his chin, lost in thought: "Manipulation using mental energy is the simplest method. Both the Entangling Silk Hand and the Yin Puppet Technique have similar mental energy manipulation techniques. However, distance is the biggest problem with this method of control."

The puppets of the Silk-Entangling Hand and the Yin Puppet Technique are both techniques that use thought energy to transform into threads for remote manipulation.

However, the control distance of Si Neng's silk threads is extremely limited, at most one thousand meters. Beyond that, it becomes impossible to effectively control the puppet's movements.

However, this didn't stump Ye Qingzhou. He quickly came up with a solution: "The transmission of mental energy has its limits, but the Yin spirit doesn't! If I use the Yin spirit possession technique to control this combat puppet, I won't be limited by distance!"

"The only problem is that my spirit cannot stand the light and cannot withstand the scorching sunlight, so I can only move at night. But that's not a big problem, it doesn't have much of an impact."

Immediately, Ye Qingzhou made his first attempt.

The spirit of the underworld travels through the vast void!

Under the cover of night, bathed in the moonlight, Ye Qingzhou used the technique of astral projection, his spirit and consciousness flying out of his body and disappearing into the battle puppet in the blink of an eye.

hum~

The battle puppet's eyes glowed red.

Then.

Click click click~

Ye Qingzhou tried to stand up and move his body, quickly mastering the body he had created himself: "It feels very strange."

With a casual punch, the joints resonated, and the powerful force, transmitted through the alloy muscle bundles, converged on Ye Qingzhou's iron fist.

This is a real iron fist!

The fist, forged from divine metal, sharp metal, and black iron, was unleashed at three times the speed of sound, violently rubbing against the air and releasing a blazing fire that was dazzlingly bright in the darkness.

Boom~

The airflow exploded in mid-air, the impact of high temperature and pressure creating a deafening roar that sent chaos flying throughout the villa. Even Uncle Liang, who had already gone to bed, rushed over to ask, "Mr. Ye, are you alright?"

"The young master is alright, you may all leave and not disturb him."

Yingyue stopped them all and turned them away.

Ye Qingzhou only needed one simple test to find the answer: "More than twice as strong as my original body, it is enough to unleash the combat power of the third level of the Ascension Realm. It is simply a pure combat weapon, born for slaughter."

"Hehe, this body is only temporarily strong. My lord is getting stronger every moment. Before long, it will be unable to keep up with the speed of your progress."

In Yingyue's eyes, the combat puppet in front of her was nothing more than a high-end toy, its value not even as much as a single hair of Ye Qingzhou.

"There are some things that should be done."

Ye Qingzhou had always harbored a grudge against the Gu family. She had clearly given Gu Changqing a chance to handle the problem, but unfortunately, the other party failed to deliver a satisfactory answer.

Since that's the case, I'll just have to go through the trouble myself.

Now that he has this avatar, Ye Qingzhou is free to do as he pleases and no longer needs to worry that destroying the Gu family will affect his relationship with the Martial Arts Association.

Ye Qingzhou, who was possessing the combat puppet, turned to Yingyue and said, "Keep an eye on the house. I'm going out for a bit."

"Yes, my lord."

Yingyue nestled against Ye Qingzhou's body and sat down. Then, she couldn't help but reach out and grope his flawless body, looking like she was about to do something naughty.

Ye Qingzhou was speechless, so he could only send her a telepathic message: "Don't touch me."

"I know, my husband is so stingy."

Upon hearing this, Yingyue pouted, feigning anger. Her soft, charming lips and clear, watery eyes exuded a unique allure.

Ye Qingzhou shook his head and chuckled, then ignored her and disappeared into the moonlight.

…………

A dark night, a windy night, a night for murder.

The Gu family of Xingcheng, a renowned martial arts family for over 180 years, has produced two grandmasters and twenty-seven great masters, making them a dominant force in the martial arts world of Dongji Kingdom.

After all, without a Martial Saint, a Grandmaster is the strongest, enough to ensure that the family's power will not decline.

Unfortunately, both of the Grandmasters of the Gu family in Xingcheng have passed away, and the family's strongest force now consists of six martial arts masters.

Among them, the one with the greatest potential and the best chance of advancing to the Grandmaster level is Gu Changqing.

Of the remaining five, Gu Guangqi had been missing for several months and had actually died at the hands of Ye Qingzhou. Therefore, the Gu family now only has five masters left.

Gu Guangqi had not returned home for several months, not even for the Chinese New Year. Even the most oblivious members of the Gu family sensed something was wrong and knew that something must have happened to him.

After being pressed for answers, Gu Changheng had no choice but to reveal the truth.

Upon learning that Gu Guangqi was very likely to die at Ye Qingzhou's hands, the rest of the Gu family immediately erupted in anger, and accusations rained down on Gu Changqing like snowflakes.

Clearly, they were all very dissatisfied with Gu Changqing's actions in trying so hard to protect Ye Qingzhou: "Changqing, are you stupid? You kept that bastard child surnamed Ye for a woman."

"Yes, I said back then that I would nip it in the bud, and now look what's happened, huh?"

"This young man now has the Yan Emperor Sword in his hand. It is said that he can wield the divine weapon Emperor Martial, and kill masters with his sword. Even Li Yaoping died at his hands. Some time ago, he almost wiped out the Fu family of Wuxi by himself and his sword."

"If we don't find a way to resolve this hidden danger, the Gu family might be finished!"

The elders who spoke were the ones who supported the Gu family in taking action against Ye Qingzhou back then.

They secretly plotted against Gu Changqing, ultimately causing Ye Xiangyang to be seriously injured and lose the opportunity to advance further in martial arts.

Now, they are clamoring to kill Ye Qingzhou, to eliminate him completely and end the matter once and for all.

Gu Changqing was extremely troubled. He pinched his brow and asked, "What do you want me to do? I disagreed with your attempt to harm Ye Xiangyang. My rivalry with Brother Ye was a gentleman's contest; even if we couldn't become friends, we wouldn't become mortal enemies. Now, you're clamoring to eliminate him completely. Is this the magnanimity of the Gu family?"

"Gu Changqing! How dare you speak to us elders like that?"

"You traitor! Don't forget how you acquired your cultivation!"

"Without Gu Jia, how could you have achieved your current success!"

The elders of the family vehemently rebuked Gu Changqing, expressing their dissatisfaction with his words: "Whom are we doing this for? Isn't it all for the Gu family's reputation and interests?!"

"How can someone with such a mindset—obsessed with cunning and treachery, seeking revenge and retribution, and indulging in power struggles and schemes—forge ahead on the path of martial arts and surpass themselves?"

Gu Changqing stood up angrily and turned to leave.

He was truly disappointed in the elders of the Gu family, whose actions had completely deviated from his original intention of learning martial arts.

Moreover, a martial arts family that spends its days scheming and using despicable means, lacking ambition, will never be able to reach the higher peaks of martial arts.

This is why no new grandmasters have emerged since the passing of the older generation of grandmasters in the Gu family.

In Gu Changqing's eyes, even if the elders of the family were to act as bad people, they would not be qualified, and would only resort to underhanded tricks and schemes.

Gu Changheng chased after him outside, calling out, "Second Brother!"

Inside the council hall, several clan elders were so angry that they were blowing their beards and glaring, cursing under their breath.

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

"This is outrageous! They've grown too big for their britches and no longer respect us elders!"

Several clan elders turned their gazes to Gu Changqing's father, Gu Tingwei, their tone carrying three parts reproach and seven parts dissatisfaction: "Tingwei, what did you say?"

Is there still time to argue about who is right and who is wrong?

Gu Tingwei's face was grim, and his mood was equally terrible: "Ye Qingzhou's momentum is now unstoppable. Unless a Martial Saint intervenes, who can guarantee a fatal blow?"

"With the Six Styles Sword Invitation issued, it's impossible for the Martial Saint to participate. The authorities won't stand idly by."

"In that case, there is only one way left to kill Ye Qingzhou."

"What method?"

"With a Grandmaster taking action, we are the ones waiting in the wings. While our Divine Weapons and Imperial Martial Arts are powerful, we do have ways to deal with them, but the cost will be high."

"Does that mean... you're going to use that thing?"

"Are you not using it now, but saving it to take to your coffin?"

Gu Tingwei shouted a question, and although the elders around him were very reluctant, they ultimately did not utter a word of rebuttal.

But someone asked, "The problem is, where are we going to find a grandmaster?"

"We don't need to look for him. Zhao Baoming is about to break through his cultivation. I have reliable information that he successfully advanced to Grandmaster two days ago and is currently consolidating his realm. His only remaining family members are his sister and nephew, but they both died at Ye Qingzhou's hands. Given his personality, it's impossible for him not to seek revenge."

"Great idea!"

"Ye Qingzhou, let's see how you die this time!"

Several clan elders clapped and cheered.

At that moment, a divine thought came from outside and entered the minds of everyone in the Gu family mansion: "The Gu family is doomed."
