Zongwu: Storytelling makes you stronger, and female knights compete to be maids

"Interesting! I'd also like to see which swordsmen can rank ahead of Ximen Chuixue and Xie Xiaofeng."

"I believe what Mr. Su said. Whether it's true or not, we'll know after a month when the Sword God Ranking is released."

"The Ming Dynasty martial arts world is full of hidden talents. When this list is released, I'm afraid the entire martial arts world will be shaken."

"We have to wait another month? I've traveled for several days to get here. This is too much torture."

"Haha, for the sake of this Ming Dynasty Sword God List, what's the harm in staying in Zhenbei City for a while longer?"

"I've decided to stay in Zhenbei City for a month. I must be the first to see the complete Sword God list."

"Beiliang isn't cheap, but for this list, it's worth spending any amount of money."

……

In the private room on the third floor, on the north side.

Lian Xing was also a little confused at this moment.

Looking at Su Chen's calm and composed appearance, she felt that he seemed to have some otherworldly aura, but what he said was really hard to accept.

"Sister, do you think this Mr. Su is deliberately keeping us in suspense?"

Lian Xing turned around and asked Yao Yue.

"Xie Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuxue have already reached the highest level of swordsmanship in the world."

"If you say they can't even make it into the top five of the Ming Dynasty Sword God Ranking, I find it hard to believe."

"But I also don't believe that Su Chen would fabricate such a lie that can be easily exposed."

"To be honest, I can't see through this Mr. Su."

Yao Yue sighed.

She had always been conceited and looked down on men, but now she had to admit that she knew only a limited amount.

"So what should we do now? Should we stay in Zhenbei City and wait for the next lecture?"

Lian Xing asked again.

"It's only a month anyway, so I'll just stay in the Purple Gold Building for now."

"In a month, we will know for sure whether Su Chen is a true master or a fake one."

Yao Yue finally made a decision.

……

Next to the window on the third floor.

Lu Xiaofeng had not expected that today's storytelling would end so quickly, and hurriedly asked:

"Mr. Su, you can't stop talking halfway."

"There are three more inaccuracies in what you just said about me."

"First, you said Ximen Chuxue wasn't the best swordsman in the Ming Dynasty. That's finally been explained."

"Secondly, in the decisive battle at the Purple Gold Summit, it was Ximen Chuxue who was defeated. This also explains it clearly."

"Third, Ye Gucheng doesn't deserve the title of 'Sword Immortal'. Where does that come from?"

This question immediately attracted the attention of all the people in the hall.

Yes, the third point has not been made clear yet.

Ye Gucheng became famous twenty years ago. He guarded Feixian Island in the South China Sea and was only slightly inferior to Xie Xiaofeng in the past twenty years.

He has been calling himself the "South China Sea Sword Immortal" for more than ten years, so why is it not worthy of Su Chen's title?

Although Ye Gucheng has passed away, this matter still needs to be explained clearly.

……

On the high platform.

Su Chen lightly opened the folding fan in his hand, facing the puzzled eyes of the crowd, and said loudly:

"There are five levels of martial arts realms: acquired, innate, master, grand master, and celestial being."

"Most people in the martial arts world stop at the postnatal realm. They are unable to release their internal energy and can only rely on the sharpness of their weapons."

"If one enters the Xiantian realm, one can use internal energy to penetrate the body and release it freely, becoming the backbone of the sect."

"One step further is the Grandmaster realm. Such masters are rare in the martial arts world and are capable of establishing their own schools."

"If one were to break through to the Grandmaster level, he would become a renowned and exceptional figure, one that would be few and far between in the world."

"As for the highest level, the Heavenly Man Realm, it is even rarer, and all major dynasties attach great importance to it."

"Those in this realm have achieved the unity of man and nature. They are connected to the Yin-Yang bridge of heaven and earth. They can control the vital energy of heaven and earth at will, and their internal strength is endless."

"Moreover, compared to Grandmasters, those at the Heavenly Man Realm often possess various miraculous abilities. They are truly the most mysterious of the fifth realms of martial arts."

“Even the imperial court would not dare to neglect a master of the Heavenly Man Realm, for fear of creating an enemy.”

"From this we can see the high status of the Heavenly Man Realm experts."

"However, the Heavenly Man Realm itself still has different levels of depth, divided into three stages: initial, intermediate, and final."

"Those who reach the late stage or above are far more powerful than ordinary celestial beings and are called 'Martial Emperors', which means the emperor of the martial world."

"But becoming a Martial Emperor is as difficult as ascending to heaven."

"From the fact that among a hundred people in the Heavenly Realm, there may not be even one Martial Emperor, you can see how difficult it is."

"However,"

"Beyond these five realms, there is a sixth realm, called the Earthly Immortal Realm, also known as the Land Immortal Realm!"

"Only those who have reached this realm through the way of the sword can be called land sword immortals!"

"Although Ye Gucheng has been famous for a long time, he has only stopped at the early stage of the Heavenly Man Realm and is still far from the Earthly Immortal Realm. How dare he call himself a Sword Immortal?"

"In fact,"

"Looking at the entire Ming martial arts world, there is only one person who has truly reached the realm of land-based sword immortals."

……

Chapter 8 The Legendary Earthly Fairyland

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the hall looked at each other in shock.

It turns out there is a sixth realm above the five realms!

This cannot be blamed on their lack of knowledge or experience. After all, the realm of heaven and man is an extremely difficult existence to reach.

For most people in the martial arts world, the realm of heaven and man is the end of the martial arts, as far away as the stars and difficult to reach.

Now Su Chen actually said that there is a realm in the world that is stronger than the celestial beings - the earthly immortal realm!

How can such remarks not shock people?

What is even more astonishing is that there are actually people in the Ming Dynasty who have set foot in the legendary fairyland.

Moreover, he achieved the realm of earthly immortal by using the sword, so he is also called the Land Sword Immortal!

Many people were shocked and immediately thought of the "Ming Dynasty Sword God List" that would be announced in the next episode of storytelling.

There is no doubt that this only land-based sword immortal must be the strongest person ranked at the top of the Sword God List.

His true identity will then be revealed.

"Oh my god! Did I hear correctly? It turns out that the Heavenly Man Realm isn't the end of the martial arts path, and there's also the Land of Immortals above it?"

Someone in the hall immediately exclaimed.

"I've never heard of the 'Earthly Fairyland'. Could it be that Mr. Su made it up?"

Someone seconded loudly and firmly.

"A master at the Heavenly Man Realm can already be called a Martial Emperor, standing shoulder to shoulder with an Emperor. So how powerful must this land-based Sword Immortal be?"

A gangster asked curiously, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"You are truly ignorant. I have seen records in the classics of my sect that there is indeed a realm above the Heavenly Man Realm, called the 'Earthly Immortal Realm'."

"That's it, don't talk nonsense if you are ignorant.

The Earthly Immortal Realm already exists, but it is inaccessible to ordinary people."

"I always thought the 'Earthly Immortal Realm' was just a myth. I never thought someone would actually enter this realm."

"The Ming Dynasty's martial arts world is truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and it has unexpectedly given birth to a land-based sword immortal.

No wonder Xie Xiaofeng and Ximen Chuixue couldn't even make it into the top five of the Sword God Ranking."

After all, this is a hall where heroes from all over the world gather, and soon someone with broad knowledge stood up to defend Su Chen.

After a heated debate, those people in the martial arts world who originally knew nothing about the "Earthly Immortal Realm" gradually became convinced.

Immediately afterwards, the atmosphere in the venue was unprecedentedly high.

Land Sword Immortal!

He is an unrivaled powerhouse who has surpassed the Heavenly Realm Martial Emperor. Who wouldn't want to witness it with their own eyes?

In an instant, everyone's enthusiasm for the next episode of storytelling was completely ignited, and they all expressed that they would come to listen to it next time no matter what.

……

In the box on the west side of the third floor.

Xu Fengnian's face was filled with surprise: "I've heard Master mention the 'Earthly Immortal Realm'. Only a handful of people in this world can reach this realm. It is truly the pinnacle of martial arts.

I didn't expect that there would be such a master in the Ming Dynasty."

Old Huang seemed to be lost in thought, and sighed softly, "Land Sword Immortal, that is an extremely difficult realm to attain. How many sword masters have spent their entire lives striving for nothing more than this."

Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "You've also heard of the Earthly Immortal Realm? I knew you were no ordinary guy."

Old Huang quickly waved his hands: "I don't dare to call myself an expert, I just know a little bit."
