Wizards begin with Occlumency.

Ten months seemed to pass in the blink of an eye.

In the imperial palace of the capital, when the empress successfully gave birth to the princess.

In Fuli County, at the Bajiquan Martial Arts Academy, Lin Ke and his master Li Shuwen officially finalized the first construct version of the Human Immortal Martial Arts Technique.

Practicing this method will take about a year and a half longer than ordinary methods to advance to the Qi Strength Realm.

Once promoted, both combat strength and cultivation speed will be higher and faster than ordinary cultivation methods.

Because the "Unrivaled Courage" level 1 construct has been gradually generated during the cultivation process.

The two have achieved even more than that.

The principles of the "construction" of the Human Immortal Martial Arts, how to innovate and how to optimize it, have all been sorted out by Li Shuwen and integrated into the traditional Human Immortal Martial Arts concept.

This means that martial arts masters, if they are willing, can design "construction" sets or individual pieces according to their own ideas, and update their own martial arts techniques.

Only by achieving this level can Li Shuwen's expectations for "construction" be met.

That is, the "structure" is neither water without roots nor a single tree.

A single flower does not make spring; a garden full of flowers brings spring to the world.

Only when more and more martial arts sects and schools update their traditional techniques into construct versions can construct martial artists truly flourish.

Otherwise, relying on just the master and apprentice and a Bajiquan martial arts school, it would take forever to promote and develop construct martial arts!

The continuous implantation of "constructs" has successfully expanded its target audience to include all the martial arts practitioners of the Southern Jianghu who have come upon hearing the news over the past ten months.

As long as you can afford the materials, any martial artist who comes to the Bajiquan Martial Arts School with a clean background and no evil deeds can have a "Unrivaled Courage" suit implanted.

Although doing so lowered the overall strength of the Bajiquan Martial Arts School.

But Li Shuwen was very happy to agree.

This is an essential prelude to building momentum for the introduction of construct martial arts.

Not to mention Link.

He desperately wanted all the martial artists in the Great Yong world to accept the "construct" implantation.

the reason is simple.

During these ten months, Link kept an eye on all aspects of the world's affairs.

He even went into the Valley of the Dead several times to use the reconnaissance magic device on the "Sky Shuttle" to scan space.

He himself had a premonition that the great calamity that the Taoist sages had spoken of in this world was about to descend.

The more this is the case, the more Link needs to strengthen his own power in this world.

He wouldn't be foolish enough to play the role of someone undergoing tribulation in this world.

Those who lead the charge rarely have a good ending.

"Ke'er, how about making a name for yourself in the world?"

Li Shuwen patted the illustrated Human Immortal Martial Arts Manual in his hand and expressed his long-held thoughts.

"As long as Master is willing, I have no objection."

Link responded.

The foundation of this construct version of the Immortal Martial Arts Technique, besides the "construct" system, also includes a brand-new technique created by Li Shuwen after advancing to the Divine Realm, which he integrated all his knowledge into.

Directly pointing to the realm of the gods!

Even without being integrated into the "Construct" system, it is still considered the greatest achievement in the world.

"Then let's openly declare it to the world!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shuwen made up his mind.

The process of establishing Mingfa throughout the world was not difficult.

That afternoon, several major journals and newspapers of Human Immortal Martial Arts and Mechanical Martial Arts received the manuscript signed by Li Shuwen.

The newspaper's editors, chief editors, and editors-in-chief, one after another, went completely insane after reading the submitted manuscript!

Because Li Shuwen clearly declared that he had advanced to the legendary fifth realm of the Human Immortal Martial Arts, the Divine Realm.

At the same time, he integrated his own knowledge and created a technique that directly leads to the realm of enlightenment, called "The Eight Scenic Spots of the Primordial God," which he made known to the world for study.

In addition, there is a brand new construct version of "Eight Scenic Spots of the Primordial Chaos Technique", which can be modified to be self-generated, integrating the "construction" that caused a great stir in the Southern Jianghu and made the Northern Jianghu envious into the Human Immortal Martial Arts Technique.

Li Shuwen stated that the purpose of publishing these two different versions of "The Eight Scenic Spots of the Primordial Chaos Technique" was to enhance the foundation and development potential of the Human Immortal Martial Arts.

This is to continue suppressing mechanical martial arts and maintain the position of the top martial arts leader.

Several major periodicals, magazines, and newspapers worked overnight to proofread, print, and distribute the manuscripts.

The next day, the entire Dayong region was in an uproar.

Whether they were martial artists or ordinary people, whether they were immortal martial artists or mechanical martial artists, everyone was discussing the two versions of "The Eight Scenic Spots of the Primordial Chaos Technique".

It even overshadowed the legend of the empress's daughter who was able to speak immediately after birth.

In Fuli County, the Bajiquan Martial Arts Academy instantly became a premier martial arts mecca.

After Li Shuwen revealed that "Shouzheng Shanren" was his pseudonym, he was hailed as the greatest martial artist in history.

Martial arts encompass human immortal martial arts, mechanical martial arts, and the newly introduced construct martial arts!

Countless martial artists from both the north and south packed their bags and set off on a pilgrimage to Fuli County.

Beijing.

The palace, a side hall that has been almost forgotten.

The longevity pill, which was supposed to be refined in 49 days, is still not ready.

According to the old supervisor, there were unusual celestial phenomena, and Heaven did not allow the longevity elixir to be refined. If the elixir were to be successfully refined, another opportunity would be needed.

According to Wei Dugong, Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong knew that the Longevity Peach had been eaten by them and that the Longevity Pill was just a cover.

Nature never cared about these things from the beginning.

The reason they didn't remove the funds and imperial guards was simply to maintain a facade for the Kangxi and Qianlong Emperors.

After becoming the empress's puppet, having his true essence squeezed out every day to be consumed by the monster in the empress's belly, he paid even less attention to this place.

Over time, apart from some elderly court officials and members of the imperial family, people were still hoping for the elixir of longevity.

Many people have already noticed something amiss and concluded that the Longevity Pill is fake and that the Longevity Peach has been monopolized by the Kangxi and Qianlong Emperors.

In other words, the policies of the Kangxi and Qianlong Emperors became increasingly relaxed and favorable to the imperial family, court officials, and aristocratic families, which is why they did not cause much of a stir.

The only one who was unhappy was perhaps the eldest son born to the late empress.

Even though the current empress gave birth to a princess, it did not bring any comfort to the eldest prince.

Because the eldest prince's greatest enemy is no longer the other princes and princesses, but his father, who has most likely consumed the Longevity Peach and can live forever!

By then, when he, the eldest son of the emperor, is buried, who knows how many more years his father will live.

Not to mention what the eldest prince might do in secret.

In the side hall, the increasingly frail and aged Director of the Imperial Observatory carefully tended to the fire in the furnace.

Beside the old supervisor, the closed-door disciple, Tiangang Daoist, looked at his master with eyes full of worry.

"Foolish child, birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural course of life. Besides, I have lived long enough; why should I fall into old habits?"

The old supervisor could tell what Tiangang Daoist was thinking without even looking at his own disciple.

"Master could have lived much longer."

Tian Gang Daoist lowered his head slightly, concealing the unusual emotions in his eyes.

"Oh……"

The old eunuch chuckled softly, "What good is living a long life? Ultimately, you can't transcend it!"

"Transcendence".

Upon hearing this, the Taoist Tiangang paused, his expression slightly bitter.

The Taoist sage, Master Xujing, who claimed to have come from the upper realm, once stated that unless one successfully undergoes a tribulation, one cannot ascend to immortality in this realm.

Those who successfully ascended to immortality in the past were almost always killed by extraterrestrial demons immediately after leaving this world.

To successfully overcome the tribulation, sacrifices are necessary.

Simply relying on outsiders is also an option.

However, in this way, the amount of fortune that the Taoist sects can receive in this world will be very small.

Ascension is possible, but transcendence remains an illusion.

The old supervisor's current task is simply to get the Taoist sect to exert more effort and gain more fortune in this tribulation.

"Foolish child! Foolish child!"

Turning around, the old supervisor raised his hand and touched the head of the Heavenly Gang Taoist who had lowered his head. "Go, go to Fuli County, go to the side of the person undergoing tribulation, and protect him."

"Yes, Master."

The Taoist priest Tiangang respectfully kowtowed to the old supervisor and then got up to leave the side hall.

After taking only a few steps, his figure disappeared without any hesitation.

This is not heartlessness.

Rather, they were afraid that if they walked too slowly, they wouldn't be able to walk anymore.

"what!"

The old supervisor watched his disciple leave, uttered a vague sigh, and then chuckled, "This old Taoist has lived a life of compromise, and in the end, I finally dared to go all out and do one thing."

His withered, chicken-claw-like right hand gently patted the lid of the alchemy furnace.

With a clang.

The furnace lid was unscrewed, revealing an empty yet strangely atmospheric alchemy chamber.

"Please, Holy Mother, go to your death!"

The old eunuch turned to look in the direction of Kunning Hall, muttered something to himself, and then immersed himself in the alchemy room.

The empty yet extraordinary alchemy room was suddenly filled with a delicate fragrance that spread throughout the entire capital in the blink of an eye.

Everyone in the capital, no matter what they were doing or where they were, simultaneously smelled this delicate fragrance and looked up at the sky.

In the void, the Heavenly Gang Daoist, who was teleporting towards Fuli County, felt something and a tear slid down his cheek.

In the sky above the capital, the figure of an old Taoist priest with a hunched back and a frail appearance appeared.

All those who caught the fragrance drew a tiny wisp of their own energy, which converged on the old Taoist priest.

Gradually, the wrinkles on the old Taoist's face smoothed out, revealing his handsome appearance in his youth. His hunched body straightened, showing people his unparalleled charm in his youth.

If you want to take something, you must first give it.

The old eunuch sacrificed his incarnation to enter the Heavenly Dao, using his life's cultivation as medicine and borrowing the nation's fortune as a furnace fire to refine a batch of Dragon-Tiger Elixir.

May Heaven and Earth offer their bounty, and may all living beings be blessed.

Afterwards, the old supervisor used a sliver of luck fed back by all living beings to gather it into a furnace and forge it into a heart of the people with the fire of his heart.

Heaven sees as the people see, and Heaven hears as the people hear.

At this very moment, the old eunuch is taking the will of the people as his own, acting on behalf of Heaven, and temporarily exercising the authority of Heaven.

Suddenly, throughout the capital city and the entire Dayong region, all cultivators of the four realms sensed the change and looked towards the capital.

The young and unparalleled figure of the supervisor was restored and clearly presented before their eyes.

Then I heard a request as gentle as a spring breeze.

"This humble Taoist priest, Chunfeng, begs the Holy Mother White Lotus to die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the supervisor's figure vanished from the sky like a dream.

Everyone in and around the capital who had been looking up at the sky lowered their heads and resumed what they had been doing.

It was as if the fragrance was illusory, the supervisor had not appeared, and nothing had changed.

Fuli County, Bajiquan Martial Arts School.

Looking towards the capital, Li Shuwen's face showed a trace of sorrow: "The Supervisor has passed away!"

When Li Shuwen was young, he only roamed the martial arts world in the south. It wasn't that he was unwilling to set foot in the north, but that he was stopped by the Tiangang Taoist.

The Heavenly Gang Taoist represents the former Director of the Imperial Observatory.

This old man, who has been sitting on the star-gazing platform for generations, has been a figure of immense influence.

Link stood beside Li Shuwen, his brows furrowed.

He had no prior acquaintance with the old supervisor and did not care whether the other was alive or dead.

However, after the phrase "Please, Holy Mother, go to your death," a change occurred somewhere in the direction of the capital, which caught Link's attention.

An old friend whom I hadn't seen in a long time suffered a severe blow after the "invitation of the Holy Mother to her death".

The kind that's on the verge of death.

"Ugh!"

Link sighed inwardly, knowing that he was completely unable to escape from the so-called cataclysmic disaster.

"That's troublesome."

With another sigh, Link said to Li Shuwen, "Master, I have important business to attend to and need to leave for a while."

Li Shuwen turned to look at his eighth disciple, a feeling stirring within him.

By breaking through the void, one can see the gods.

Sincerity can lead to foresight.

The two are not in conflict, but rather complement each other.

Li Shuwen is gradually mastering the mysteries of the Divine Realm, and his "foresight" ability is becoming increasingly profound.

As soon as Lin Kefu spoke, Li Shuwen received a subtle hint.

At this moment, the master and apprentice had both reached a crossroads in their destinies.

Every word, every action, and every decision will have a profound impact.

It is even highly likely that the master and disciple will eventually stand on opposite sides, facing each other with swords drawn.

After a long silence, Li Shuwen sighed and helplessly advised, "No matter what, take care of yourself and don't push yourself too hard."

"Thank you, Master."

Link took a deep look at his master, who had taught him and guided him through the world of constructs, his greatest partner in perfecting his construct martial arts, and the one who inspired him to embark on the path of becoming a construct wizard. Then, in a flash, he disappeared.

"Brother Li, where is your esteemed disciple going?"

The next second, the figure of the Heavenly Gang Taoist appeared and asked a question.

"I don't know."

Li Shuwen responded calmly.

"this……"

Tian Gang Daoist opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but under Li Shuwen's emotionless gaze, he didn't know how to start speaking.

"Ugh!"

The Heavenly Gang Taoist sighed heavily.

He gazed towards the direction of the capital, remaining silent with an extremely solemn expression.

Beijing.

The Imperial Palace, Kunning Hall.

All the eunuchs and palace maids were suddenly driven out by the enraged empress.

The Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong, who were being used as "blood transfusion bags," were desperately transferring their vital energy into the body of the princess who had only been born a few days earlier.

However, the princess's face grew paler and paler, and her life force was fading faster and faster.

The queen was already kneeling on the ground, dripping her blood onto the palm of the tiny statue, yearning for the Holy Mother to respond.

She vowed that if the body she had carefully prepared for the Holy Mother's arrival was destroyed by that stinking Taoist priest, she would wipe out the Taoist sect and kill all the Taoist priests in the world!

"Who?"

The Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong, as portrayed by Wei Dugong, suddenly stopped channeling their true energy, shouted loudly, and became tense and on guard.

Just now, he sensed a ripple in the void.

Someone actually managed to penetrate the grand array of the dynasty's fortune that enveloped the entire palace and sneak into the Kunning Hall!

"have not seen you for a long time."

Link emerged from the void, revealing his physical form. He glanced at the dying baby girl, then fixed his gaze on the statue that was preparing to respond to the Queen.

"Should I call you the White Lotus Holy Mother now, or...?"

Link's tone was low and his feelings were extremely complicated.

"Iris?" (End of Chapter)
