Chapter 72

By then.

Resources will be exhausted.

There will be no food.

The creatures of this martial arts world will also gradually perish.

"20,000 kilometers in diameter, and the martial artists inside have even practiced true Qi; it's just right for the Great Yan army to conduct military exercises."

Just now.

He scanned this martial arts world.

Everyone inside practices martial arts, and the powerful ones can practice true Qi, shattering stone tablets with a single punch.

In terms of combat effectiveness, it has already exceeded ordinary civilizations by a notch.

It is just right for the Great Yan army to conduct military exercises.

Moreover.

He checked just now, and in this world, there exist large amounts of sulfur mines, nitrate mines, and other resources.

Which are exactly what are relatively scarce on the Blue Star right now.

Nowadays, the Blue Star is heavily expanding its armaments and is in need of these minerals to make muskets and cannons.

Thinking of this.

Qin Mu stepped forward, crossing the void.

In a single thought.

He descended onto the Blue Star and appeared in the temple.

He directly issued a divine oracle.

"Three days later, I will open a world passage outside the temple."

And after Yan learned of this news.

He was ecstatic.

He immediately convened a morning court.

Focusing on discussing how to conquer this world.

"Wherever the sun shines, as far as my eyes can see, it is all Great Yan territory!"

Yan's ambition.

Was burning fiercely at this moment.

Especially with Sun Huyuan joining the Great Yan Research Institute.

Muskets and cannons were constantly being perfected, and their power was getting stronger and stronger.

Making the combat effectiveness of the Great Yan army stronger and stronger.

"Your Majesty, we don't know the situation of this world; I suggest sending a small portion of the army first to scout for intelligence before deciding whether to launch a full-scale invasion."

The elderly Minister of War said in a deep voice: "The heavenly book says, 'know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles'; this is exactly the principle."

Yan took a deep breath.

Calming his excited mood.

He nodded.

Indeed.

Right now, he knew nothing about the situation in that world.

Attacking rashly is a military taboo.

Thus...

Three days later.

Outside the temple.

A pitch-black world passage opened with a roar.

"Intelligence troops, move out!"

Yan stared at this world passage and said in a deep voice.

Behind him.

Three hundred Great Yan soldiers wearing steel armor and holding muskets held their heads high and stepped forward.

"Your primary mission on this trip is to collect all intelligence on this world!"

"Yes!"

Three hundred people responded in a deep voice, their momentum like a mountain.

Subsequently.

Yan waved his hand.

Three hundred people marched into the world passage in a mighty force.

Ten days later.

Imperial Palace, Great Hall.

With the return of intelligence from the front line, Yan convened the morning court again.

"Ten days ago, the people who entered the martial arts world have sent back intelligence."

"The people of this world respect martial arts; everyone practices martial arts and can cultivate true Qi within their bodies."

"The powerful ones can shatter stone tablets with a single hand and can even walk on walls and jump over roofs relying on light-body techniques."

"This world has no dynasty and is jointly managed by nine major sects; it is said that the nine sect masters have the strength to emit three zhang of true Qi from a distance, harming people invisibly."

Yan scanned the ministers below and stated the situation of that world.

Upon hearing this, the ministers.

All showed expressions of shock and fear.

Shattering tablets with a single hand, walking on walls, harming people from a distance...

Doesn't that mean that the people of this world have all transcended mortals?

For a time.

Many people developed thoughts of retreat.

Wanting to persuade Yan to give up the idea of sending troops.

However...

Yan scanned the ministers and sneered: "Under the whole heaven, is there any land that is not the king's!"

"On the shores of the land, is there anyone who is not the king's subject!"

"Since I have seen it, this world is mine! It belongs to the Great Yan Kingdom!"

"So what if they are extraordinary?"

"I have the technological power bestowed by the god; relying on muskets and cannons, we may not necessarily be their match!"

As he spoke.

Yan stood up from the dragon throne, his eyes burning: "Moreover, in this martial arts world, there exist large amounts of sulfur mines and nitrate mines!"

These two things are essential resources for making gunpowder!

He must obtain them!

"Order the Great Yan army!"

He took a deep breath, his voice echoing in the great hall.

"Tomorrow morning, one hundred thousand troops will enter the martial arts world in full force!"

His tone was filled with murderous intent.

Indisputable.

The ministers lowered their heads one after another, not daring to say another word.

The next day.

Early morning.

Outside the temple.

Yan led the army himself, taking one hundred thousand troops, and marched into the martial arts world in a mighty force.

That's right.

This time, he intended to lead the expedition himself!

As for the state affairs of the Great Yan Kingdom...

They were all assigned to the Six Ministries, letting the Six Ministries be responsible.

Everything was orderly and would not fall into chaos.

Martial arts world.

In a small village in the south.

The world passage opened with a roar.

One hundred thousand soldiers wearing black armor walked out with firm expressions, not saying a word.

This village.

Was the base camp built by the three hundred intelligence troops earlier.

Here.

Yan directly obtained the first-hand intelligence data.

Looking at the distribution map of the nine major sects in his hand.

His eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"This world is led by the nine major sects; if we want to conquer it, we must first destroy the nine sects!"

"And now there is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity: five days later, the nine sects will hold a Martial Arts Alliance Leader Conference at Nine-Line Heaven!"

As he spoke.

He slapped the table heavily: "At that time, the nine strongest people in this world... the nine sect masters, will all come to Nine-Line Heaven!"

"I will make them come and never return!"

Subsequently.

He began to deploy the plan for this siege of Nine-Line Heaven.

And above the village.

Qin Mu was stepping on the void, looking at the one hundred thousand troops Yan had brought.

In the middle of the one hundred thousand troops.

There were two hundred cannons placed under strict guard.

Beside the cannons.

There were also hundreds of crates of cannonballs stacked up.

The corners of Qin Mu's mouth couldn't help but twitch a few times.

Good guy.

For this expedition, he actually moved half of the Great Yan Kingdom's firepower over.

But he could also see.

Yan attached great importance to this conquest.

Having seen the horror of immortal cultivators, the Wu tribe, and elves with his own eyes.

It instead ignited his desire to conquer extraordinary civilizations.

Nine-Line Heaven.

This is the highest mountain peak in the martial arts world.

The mountain top has nine lines connected, which can be called a work of supernatural craftsmanship.

Therefore, the Martial Arts Alliance Leader Conference, held every ten years, is always hosted at Nine-Line Heaven.

And during the period of the Martial Arts Alliance Leader Conference, the entire martial arts world would be boiling.

In a teahouse at the foot of Nine-Immortal Mountain.

Countless tea guests were discussing who would become the Martial Arts Alliance Leader this time.

"Li Yigu of the Green Peak Sect has mastered his hard-body kung fu to perfection; it is said he has reached the realm of being impervious to swords and spears. Perhaps this time he will suppress the other eight!"

"Not so, not so; I think the Ethereal Fairy of the Three-String Sect has light-body techniques that can leap over a five-zhang cliff, and her movement techniques are even more ethereal, making her inherently invincible!"

"Hahaha, you all guessed wrong; this time Lu Takege of the Ghost Moon Sect has just come out of seclusion, and the Lingxi Finger technique he practices has reached the strongest in history, claiming there is nothing in the world he cannot catch!"

"Could it be that you have forgotten the Sword Saint Lu Qingshan, who was invincible across the world thirty years ago? His sword technique is as fast as flowing light; within ten steps, he can take a person's head in the blink of an eye!"

"..."

Every sect master among the nine major sects had a large number of followers.

Mentioning these people...

The tea guests in the teahouse were all filled with worship and awe.

The nine sect masters.

Were the role models for their lifelong practice of martial arts.

And Yan, disguised and under the protection of his Great Yan army confidants, also mixed into the teahouse.

Drinking tea, he heard the discussions of these tea guests...

His eyes couldn't help but flicker.

"Impervious to swords and spears? Leap over a five-zhang cliff? Lingxi Finger technique can catch anything? Take a head within ten steps?"

Just relying on the discussions of these tea guests.

He could guess the high level of martial arts of these nine sect masters.

It indeed exceeded the imagination of mortals.

However...

It was limited to this.

After seeing immortal cultivators, the Wu tribe, and elves with his own eyes.

His horizons had already been raised a lot.

In the eyes of immortal cultivators...

These martial arts people are probably no different from ants.

"Look! Ethereal Fairy! It's Ethereal Fairy who has arrived!"

Suddenly.

There was a burst of exclamations in the teahouse, and everyone leaned out.

Looking outside the teahouse.

A woman wearing a white long dress, ethereal as a fairy, was sweeping past at high speed.

In an instant.
