Chapter 983: A Thousand-Year History of the Martial Dao

Memories flowed rapidly through Chen Yuan's mind.

"The Master of True Intent is deliberately targeting my Chen Prefecture, deliberately targeting you."

"Why not go and become a gatekeeper for the Xia Clan? At the very least, you could extend a lifeline for my Chen Clan."

"Let a group of Chen clansmen enter the Great Xia; if my Chen Clan's main lineage is wiped out, these collateral branches can at least preserve my Chen Clan's bloodline."

Inside the pitch-black room.

A cold light appeared in his middle-aged eyes.

"Why force me?"

He turned on the lights; embedded in the walls were massive vessels containing the corpses of ancient divine beasts.

"From this point on, I, Chen Yuan, shall keep company with malice."

As he spoke, he left, never to return.

The memories shifted once more.

"Although the Chen Master was mediocre his whole life, he gave birth to two extraordinary geniuses for my Chen Clan."

"Chen Yi is now the Human Race's number one prodigy, with the potential to become the number one person in the Martial Dao."

"What? Xia Weimin, that Xia Clan prince who refused to rule the nation, actually defeated Chen Yi!"

"Xia Weimin might even surpass the original Master of Qi and Blood, or even the Xia Master!"

Now a thousand years old, he learned the name of Xia Weimin.

A sharp light appeared in his eyes.

"Xia Weimin, can he do it?"

He walked out of the Royal Court and saw Xia Weimin with his daughter, Chen Yi, who was disguised as a man.

"I am very disappointed in you; why must you walk with that Xia Weimin?"

"Father, I, Chen Yi, should have the right to pursue happiness."

He turned around:

"Pursuing happiness is not bad, but it is a pity; that Xia Weimin is not as good as I was in my youth."

Chen Yi could not believe that her own father would evaluate the current number one prodigy, Xia Weimin, in such a way.

Her father was indeed extraordinary in his youth.

But after becoming the Chen Master, he had become increasingly reclusive.

Chen Yuan shook his head, a trace of bewilderment appearing in his eyes.

"Still... hasn't appeared yet?"

He looked toward Ten Thousand Phases Island.

Xia Weimin's remnant soul became the Continent Bright, yet could not escape the suppression of malice.

"The human race's only goal is to suppress and kill malice, yet you can only become a Continent Bright."

Chen Yuan sighed.

Another few hundred years passed.

"A genius has appeared in Chi Prefecture, named Chi Mi."

"The Great Xia Imperial Clan also has a monster named Xia Hanzhou, and a monster named Shen Keqing has appeared among the commoners of Great Xia."

"The Lu Clan has amused me to death; a cast-off, a cultivation waste, actually defeated Lu Ya with ease, and that was when Lu Ya was being elected as an elder."

"Lu Xunyang, this person is too heaven-defying; he altered his own bones and tendons just to practice hard-body cultivation."

"He truly suppressed a generation; Chen He of Chen Prefecture, Chi Mi of Chi Prefecture, and Shen Keqing and Xia Hanzhou of Great Xia are no match for him!"

"Lu Xunyang is definitely the number one hard-body prodigy since ancient times!"

"Why, why would a Lu Xunyang appear in the final years of Great Xia?"

"But the Xia Clan does not recognize Lu Xunyang."

"Lu Xunyang is not of the Xia Clan bloodline; even if he is extraordinary, he cannot be treated as one of their own by the Xia Clan."

Voices rang out one after another in Chen Yuan's ears.

Chen Yuan finally noticed the young man named Lu Xunyang.

Lu Xunyang was simply too dazzling, too monstrous!

Chen Yuan saw Lu Xunyang.

One person challenged all the young prodigies.

Chen Prefecture's most brilliant Chen He could not even last a single round in the opponent's hands.

"Call Chi Gan over."

Chen Yuan instructed Chen He:

"Tell him that I can help him settle the Chi Mi lineage, let his Chi Gan lineage become the main lineage of Chi Prefecture, and make him the Chi Master."

Chen He's eyes were extremely narrow, and he was somewhat puzzled:

"Master, why help Chi Gan?"

"You do not need to ask," Chen Yuan said indifferently.

"Yes." Chen He bowed and hurriedly retreated.

…………

"Chi Mi was killed by Xia Hanzhou; he was personally pushed into the Ancient God Forbidden Land by Xia Hanzhou."

"Chi Prefecture and the Xia Clan have completely broken ties."

Chen Yuan listened to his subordinate's report, turned around, and asked:

"Has Lu Xunyang made a move?"

"They made a move; Lu Xunyang protected Xia Hanzhou, but no major battle erupted, and Chizhou retreated," the subordinate replied.

"From now on, Lu Xunyang's prestige within the Xia Clan cannot be suppressed.

However, Master, rest assured; some of the old things in the Xia Clan will still harbor reservations about Lu Xunyang."

Bang!

Master Chen slammed a hand onto the table:

"A fine Chi Gan, to actually dare to harbor reservations."

The next moment, a hint of a smile appeared in Chen Yuan's eyes again:

"Go find Lu Ya and tell him I can make him the new Master of Luzhou."

Inside the cultivation room.

He toyed with a bizarre creature pieced together from the corpses of countless ancient beasts.

"Yes!" The subordinate withdrew.

Lu Ya arrived and saw Chen Yuan.

Just from one glance, Lu Ya felt endless chill.

At this moment, Chen Yuan was already the number one person in the world.

No one knew if the other party had already reached the Ninth Rank.

Chen Yuan's gaze was extremely profound:

"Do you want to kill Lu Xunyang?"

Anger appeared in Lu Ya's eyes.

Chen Yuan threw out an array disc, and Lu Ya hurriedly caught it.

"What is this?"

"My Chen Clan has always conducted some biological research; it contains some mysteries of biological flesh, and I think you will find it useful." Chen Yuan turned around.

Lu Ya was astonished:

"Why give it to me?"

Chen Yuan smiled:

"I want you to kill Lu Xunyang. With Lu Xunyang around, the Five Clans will never be able to truly defeat the Great Xia.

He is an abandoned son of the Lu Clan; killing him is your Lu Clan's responsibility."

Lu Ya gripped the array disc tightly:

"I understand."

Lu Ya withdrew.

Time passed slowly.

"Lu Xunyang and Xia Hanzhou entered Luzhou and suppressed the Master of Lu; it was too overbearing!"

"Now, the entire Great Xia holds Lu Xunyang in the highest regard."

"A new Divine General has appeared in Great Xia, but it's not Lu Xunyang; it's that guy Zhen Yue."

"Zhen Yue makes me want to die laughing. They spent so many resources preparing the General-Bestowing Ceremony for him, and in the end, only one Zhou Ming acknowledged him."

"Hahaha, if it weren't for that Zhou Ming's acknowledgment, both Zhen Yue and the Xia Clan would have become a joke."

"Hahaha, Zhen Yue is just Lu Xunyang's little lackey. The Xia Clan doesn't trust a Luzhou person, yet they let Lu Xunyang's lackey become a Divine General."

"The Xia Clan has rotted; they just refuse to trust those who can be trusted.

People like Xia Hanzhou and Xia Yuan have talent but cannot hold power."

"I heard that Xia Hanzhou, Zhen Yue, and the Xunyang faction had a great battle with the old fogies of the Xia Clan, which was interrupted by Lu Xunyang."

A subordinate found Chen Yuan and spoke excitedly:

"Master, the older generation of Great Xia is now muddled and internally divided; now is the opportunity for our Chen Clan!"

Chen Yuan's eyes were profound; he nodded, then summoned Ji Ling.

"Your Jizhou can attack Great Xia now."

A smile appeared at the corner of Chen Yuan's mouth.

Ji Ling narrowed his eyes:

"Why is it my Jizhou, and not your Chenzhou?"

Chen Yuan smiled faintly:

"I can persuade Chizhou and Luzhou to provide a steady stream of war resources for your Jizhou when you launch your troops.

This is an opportunity for your Jizhou to expand."

Ji Ling sneered:

"Chen Yuan, you are only the Master of Chenzhou, not the master of the other two states!"

Chen Yuan's eyes were profound.

The next moment, under Ji Ling's incredulous gaze.

Master of Chi, Chi Gan, and the newly promoted Master of Lu, Lu Ya, appeared behind Chen Yuan.

"Now, do you believe it?"

Chen Yuan said with a faint smile.

"Chen Sheng..." Ji Ling gasped.
