Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

Moreover, under the powerful deterrence of Xiao Shan, all the martial arts forces under his jurisdiction, except for those that relocated from the Weiyong territory in time, were brought under his control. Among them were nearly ten martial arts experts whose strength had reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Subduing them was even simpler. He took out the "Blazing Sun Miracle Skill" series of divine skills, as well as other unique techniques such as "Three-Part Return to Origin Qi," "Wind God Leg," "Cloud Dispelling Palm," and "Heavenly Frost Fist," and casually showed off his martial arts cultivation. This immediately made these native martial arts experts kneel down.

The incredible power he displayed was unbelievably attractive to martial arts masters who lacked a complete lineage.

With the support of two extraordinary forces—magic cultivators and martial arts experts—Xiaoshan's territory, while not impregnable, is at least quite stable and not afraid of any powerful outsiders attempting to break through its defenses alone.

However, these two groups of people were not trained by him personally. The martial arts experts did have a little more trust in them, but that was all.

This was far from enough. Xiao Shan, through various channels, discovered the true situation within the Great Chu territory and reminded him that without an extremely powerful extraordinary force as his strongest trump card, the outcome of his conquest of the Great Chu would be extremely unfavorable.

Whether it's the Great Chu royal family, the imperial court, or the local forces and vassal states in the heart of the region, they all have powerful magic cultivators and martial arts experts supporting them.

In future confrontations with them, having a strong military force alone will not be enough; at the very least, we cannot be at a disadvantage in terms of superhuman strength.

Fortunately, Xiao Shan was well-prepared. The flourishing martial spirit of Wei Yong Territory was no joke; it was an atmosphere he had gradually created through various means.

Over the years, quite a few martial arts masters have emerged.

However, their strength and experience are not very strong, and they need to continue to accumulate and improve over time.

The three newly acquired states will soon become a land of fierce martial spirit.

Given the population here, it is believed that it will not take many years to cultivate a large number of martial arts experts who can be put to use.

That's right, Xiaoshan mainly focuses on cultivating martial arts experts.

As for magic cultivators, it's not that he lacks the ability, but rather that training them is simply too slow!

As Xiao Shan had predicted, ten years later, martial arts flourished throughout Weiyong Territory.

Relying on the population base of over 70 million in the Mighty Valor Territory, a large number of Nascent Soul martial arts experts emerged, completely overshadowing the power of the magic sects...

"Phew, finally out of that chaotic place!" Looking at the straight and wide official road in front of him, and the endless stream of pedestrians and merchants, Yan Nanxing wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled with satisfaction, "It truly lives up to its reputation as the most peaceful place in the entire Great Chu!"

Although Yan Nanxing is young, his martial arts skills have reached a considerable level.

He could find out about any major martial arts event in the Great Chu territory.

Upon hearing that a grand martial arts tournament would be held in the Northwest Weiyong Territory, which borders the Demon Realm, Yan Nanxing only inquired about the situation in Weiyong Territory briefly before rushing over excitedly.

At first, he thought that Weiyong Territory was a desolate place, threatened by demons from the demon realm and plagued by war, and that the people should be living in misery.

But when he arrived in the Northwest, he was surprised to learn that Weiyong Territory was not only not a desolate place, but also the only peaceful place in the chaotic Great Chu that had not experienced war.

This is very rare!

Yan Nanxing, with his chivalrous spirit, naturally felt a fondness for such a place.

In particular, when he learned that the people of Weiyong Territory lived in peace and prosperity, had a martial spirit, and produced many masters, his goodwill towards Weiyong Territory increased even more.

In the Northwest, he heard that Weiyong Territory was a holy land for martial artists, where all the magic sects had closed their mountains and made no move out, and martial artists were revered, which was completely the opposite of the rest of the Great Chu.

This was excellent news for Yan Nanxing, who considered himself a martial artist.

However, to reach Weiyong Territory, one must pass through several war-torn states.

This was not a difficult task for Yan Nanxing. He simply found a reliable caravan and headed towards Weiyong Territory.

Given his physical condition and walking speed, he could have reached Weiyong Territory within a few months.

However, he encountered too many injustices on the road, and with his violent temper, he simply couldn't tolerate them.

As he traveled the land upholding justice and eliminating evil, his reputation in the martial arts world grew, but his speed was also slowed down again and again.

Especially when passing through several war-torn states, the landscape was desolate and the people were suffering. Saying that nine out of ten houses were empty might be an exaggeration, but the nearly ten years of war had brought profound disaster to the people of these states.

The disruption of normal production order is an absolute catastrophe for several northwestern prefectures with a total population of nearly 200 million.

Not to mention the nearly ten-year war that accompanied the collapse of normal order, with all sorts of demons and monsters emerging to harm the people, those days were simply unbearable.

kill!kill!kill!

Yan Nanxing pressed onward, slaughtering his way through the enemy lines.

Kill the undisciplined officers and soldiers, kill the demons and monsters that plague humanity, kill the wicked local tyrants and bullies, kill the corrupt officials who harm the people...

Yan Nanxing's reputation was thus forged through sheer force.

During this time, not only were there government soldiers, local tyrants and evil gentry killed, but also relatives and friends of corrupt officials who hired experts to assassinate Yan Nanxing. However, in the end, they were all killed by Yan Nanxing, who had an extremely outstanding talent in martial arts.

Of course, while Yan Nanxing is powerful, he is not yet at the point where he can intimidate all forces.

As for the local magic sects and martial arts forces, Yan Nanxing had no strength to directly confront them, and even indirect confrontation would be difficult.

There were also powerful regional military governors, who were behemoths that Yan Nanxing could not contend with.

Even so, Yan Nanxing earned a reputation and gained prestige through his exploits. Ordinary forces could not win him over, nor were they willing to offend him too much.

Hearing of his arrival would surely cause certain local forces and individuals to restrain their previous recklessness, earning praise from the people of several prefectures.

After months of continuous fighting, Yan Nanxing's strength has reached a new level.

However, the continuous fighting over the past few months had made Yan Nanxing somewhat weary. He couldn't wait to reach the peaceful Weiyong Territory to catch his breath, otherwise he would go crazy if this continued.

Fortunately, as he approached Weiyong Territory, the half of the province he passed through was surprisingly peaceful.

Outside of the battle zones, the interior was unusually peaceful.

While the people may not live in peace and prosperity, at least their lives and production order have not been disrupted, and they can barely make ends meet.

This greatly surprised Yan Nanxing, so he decided to stay for half a month to rest and recuperate while also inquiring about the details of the place.

The result was quite surprising: the warlord who controlled half a province was actually a hero from the Weiyong Territory.

They also received strong support from the Weiyong County government, which enabled them to establish their current foundation.

The management system and methods under his rule were completely modeled after the Weiyong Commander's government.

Because of a lack of talent, the students only achieved a 30-40% resemblance to the originals, but even so, the local people were deeply grateful and offered them considerable support.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to fight against an enemy with several times their territory with only half a state, and still manage to do so with ease.

Here, he gathered a lot of information about the Weiyong Territory.

Regardless of the source of the information, all reports described Weiyongling as a rare place of peace and tranquility.

The people live and work in peace and contentment, the order is excellent, and the public security environment is exceptionally good.

It is a prosperous and beautiful place where people live well. There is no war, no local tyrants or evil gentry harming the people, and no demons or monsters running rampant. It is a rare paradise on earth.

Hearing this news filled Yan Nanxing with joy.

The violent killing intent and uncomfortable emotions that had accumulated in his heart from the previous months of fighting gradually subsided, and he realized that he had not made a mistake in coming here this time. Weiyong Territory was a good place.

What surprised him even more was that although the Weiyong County government was strict, even to the point of being outrageous, it did not suppress martial artists. In fact, it intentionally created an environment and atmosphere that was beneficial to martial arts.

Rumor has it that the town of Weiyong is filled with martial arts schools and numerous escort agencies, and martial arts masters of all kinds emerge one after another. Almost every year, many young masters stand out and become outstanding new talents in the Weiyong martial arts lineage.

The martial arts scene in Weiyong was at its peak, and there were quite a few experts at the Nascent Soul stage in the open.

After hearing it so much, Yan Nanxing's goodwill toward the Weiyong Territory increased greatly!

He didn't linger in the relatively peaceful half-state, but instead followed a caravan, leisurely making his way to Weiyong Territory, hoping to participate in the latest martial arts tournament.

While I was filled with excitement, I was also a little apprehensive.

The bustling martial arts tournament filled him with longing, but it also kept him on edge, making him dare not slack off.

The martial arts tournament in Weiyong Territory was a grand martial arts event organized three years ago by the lord of Weiyong Territory, which affected the entire territory.

Although it was only held once, its scale, the number of participants, and their strength instantly made it the most famous and attractive martial arts event in the Northwest.

Previously, Yan Nanxing had only occasionally heard of the Weiyong Martial Arts Tournament in the provinces and prefectures of the Great Chu. It was only after arriving in the Northwest that he realized just how prestigious and renowned the tournament truly was.

That mysterious and mighty lord was a terrifying figure who intimidated the entire Northwest.

The martial arts tournament organized by them naturally attracted attention.

Not to mention the generous rewards of the martial arts tournament, which even Yan Nanxing found tempting.

The prize for first place is a top-tier sword manual that leads directly to the Void Refinement Realm—the "Eclipse Sword Technique," as well as a bottle of Fire Spirit Pills to enhance power and lifespan!

Even those ranked second to tenth will receive martial arts manuals or powerful moves as rewards, along with divine weapons and precious medicines.

There are also substantial monetary rewards for those who rank 11th to 16th.

In short, the Mighty Warriors Tournament is not only a grand event, but also offers very generous rewards.

Of course, given Yan Nanxing's temperament, he wouldn't place too much importance on those generous rewards.

His own martial arts heritage and magical abilities are already extraordinary, so there is no need for him to switch to other techniques.

Unless it's a divine skill that can directly lead to the realm of fusion, it's difficult for Yan Nanxing to feel any desire for it.

However, being able to communicate with the many martial arts experts in Weiyong Commandery was more important to him.

Leaving aside other matters, upon arriving at Weiyong Territory, the environment and atmosphere immediately made Yan Nanxing realize what peace and tranquility truly meant.

The area is bustling with people, thriving with businesses and lined with shops. The streets are wide, clean, and tidy, and most importantly, the public security environment is excellent.

Among the pedestrians, he sensed many powerful individuals, each possessing considerable strength.

In other places, any martial arts expert like this would be arrogant, haughty, and domineering, like a street thug.

Here, however, these powerful and formidable beings are honest and well-behaved, showing no arrogance or domineering attitude whatsoever. If they don't actively provoke trouble, the ordinary people around them might not even know their identities.

He was quite surprised by the harmonious scene.

Moreover, he was surprised to find that the pedestrians and merchants on the street were all full of energy and in good health, with steady yet light steps, as if they had practiced.

This sight truly astonished him!

If this were in his hometown, the local government would be more than happy for the people to be sheep, so why would they organize a nationwide martial arts training program for them?

However, the approach taken by the Weiyong County government was completely different. The first city they entered in Weiyong County had many shops and a large flow of people, but there were also quite a few martial arts schools and security escort agencies.

There are also many garden-like public spaces where you can often see people of all ages exercising in a disciplined and methodical manner.

Yan Nanxing observed carefully for a while and was surprised to find that although the exercise methods of these people in the city were very simple, the effects were quite extraordinary.

It consists of just a few simple movements, which are basically imitations of certain animal movements. Combined with simple and practical breathing techniques, it is highly effective in improving the circulation of qi and blood and strengthening muscles and bones.

It can be said that this is an outstanding foundation-building martial art!

In his view, as long as the elderly are willing to persist in exercising, they can strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives. At least before their bodies rapidly collapse, they are unlikely to suffer from various diseases.

This is definitely a rare and good thing for most elderly people.

Yan Nanxing was no greenhorn; he had spent several years traveling the world and had witnessed the hardships of ordinary people.

It can be said that, apart from natural disasters and man-made calamities, disease is the greatest and most feared enemy of the people, especially the elderly.

At the same time, while observing the city's middle schools, he was surprised to find that these schools placed great importance on martial arts, at least no less than the troublesome Four Books and Five Classics.

Looking at the students, who were of varying ages but all physically strong and had a solid foundation in their studies, Yan Nanxing was once again amazed.

It seems the Weiyong County government wants to completely open up martial arts training!

While shocked by the unusual actions of the Weiyong County government, Yan Nanxing was also extremely excited and satisfied with the measures taken by the Weiyong County government.

As martial artists, we naturally want to see martial arts flourish and become a mainstream practice, just like magic, instead of being suppressed by magic practitioners.

What also caught his eye were the open-air and semi-open-air arenas scattered throughout the city, as well as the indoor arenas, the martial arts challenges that appeared from time to time, the arena battles inside the escort agencies, and the arena battles between escort agencies.

Yan Nanxing clearly saw and felt what it meant to have a flourishing martial spirit after staying in the first city of Weiyong Territory for less than three days.

There are battles almost constantly taking place here, and the arenas throughout the city are rarely idle.

The city's residents and merchants were used to this, and would even occasionally gather around the arena to cheer on the martial artists.

The martial arts school and the escort agency were also engaged in fierce fighting. The martial artists involved had varying levels of skill, including novices who had just entered the martial arts world, experienced martial artists, and even experts like Yan Nanxing who felt somewhat dangerous.

Such a strong martial arts culture would likely cause social and public order chaos in his hometown.

Yet the city was in an unusually good order.

No matter how fiercely the martial artists fought on the arena, in the martial arts school, or in the escort agency, they behaved very properly in public, as if they dared not cross the line even half a step, which made Yan Nanxing quite alarmed.

These martial artists are way too rule-abiding, aren't they?
