Chapter 70

In the seventh year of the Daye era of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Emperor Yang of Sui abused the people's strength. From the day he ascended the throne, he built the Eastern Capital, repaired the Grand Canal, and built palaces and buildings on a large scale. Millions of people were forced into labor, and a million died.

For a time, the people's grievances were boiling, and several rebel armies rose up.

In the ninth year of Daye, Emperor Yang of Sui was unwilling to accept the failure of the first expedition to Goguryeo. He set out from Luoyang and personally led the expedition to Goguryeo again. Goguryeo was on its last breath and was about to surrender when, due to a fire in the backyard, Yang Xuangan raised an army to rebel against Sui, threatening the hinterland of the Sui Dynasty. Emperor Yang was forced to withdraw his troops, leading to the failure of the second expedition to Goguryeo.

Yangzhou, Wu Jun, Prefectural Office.

A young man who looked only twenty years old sat under the Prefect's seat, playing with the Prefect's seal while looking at the intelligence report, his mouth slightly upturned.

"It seems that this guy Yang Guang has failed again."

The young man was Su Fan, who had soul-traveled to this world. At the beginning of the seventh year of Daye, Su Fan soul-traveled to this world and soon understood this familiar world.

The world of *Datang Shuanglong Zhuan*. At first, Su Fan didn't expect it to be this world. The martial arts level of this world is very high; Innate experts walk everywhere, and Grandmasters are experts of one side.

And the identity he soul-traveled into made him speechless: Yuwen Clan, Yuwen Huaji's son, Yuwen Chengji.

Of course, setting aside Su Fan's prejudice against historical figures, this identity is quite good. Whether in the original history or in this novel version of the world, this identity is very unusual.

Yuwen Clan, that is one of the four great clans, and the number one expert of the clan, Yuwen Shang, is even a Grandmaster-level expert.

The four great experts under him—Yuwen Huaji, Yuwen Chengdu, Yuwen Wudi, and Yuwen Shiji—are all Innate-level experts.

He was born as Yuwen Huaji's son, and naturally, he was also a disciple of a high-ranking family, with a high status. At a young age, he became a Prefect of a commandery, also because his surname was Yuwen.

Of course, recalling the original owner's memory, he can be said to have been demoted. This guy's original body was really too dissolute, so much so that even Yuwen Huaji couldn't stand it and directly removed him from the core of the Yuwen family.

But even so, he was still given the position of Prefect.

Wu Jun Prefect, equivalent to Suzhou on Earth in modern times, is indeed good in modern times, but in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, even after the development of the Wu State in the Three Kingdoms period, Wu Jun was just like that.

Wu Jun, under its jurisdiction, had less than ten thousand households.

Of course, being "demoted" here, the original body was unhappy, but Su Fan today is different.

Regarding the Yuwen family, to be honest, Su Fan has no good feelings, after all, all along, the Yuwen family has played the role of a clown.

The only one worth looking at positively is Yuwen Chengdu; after all, in *Shuo Tang*, he was still loyal.

It's just that his identity now, no matter what, cannot be changed. He knows very well that the future Yuwen family will be miserable.

"Dragons and snakes rise from the land!"

Su Fan has been in this world for two years. For two years, he has been holed up in the Wu Jun Prefectural Office, almost never leaving Wu Jun.

There is really no way; this body is too useless. It's not that the aptitude is very poor, but this guy was originally a playboy, eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling—everything was complete. As for practicing martial arts, it was "three days of fishing and two days of drying nets."

The Yuwen family's ancestral unique skill, Ice Profound Energy, until he traveled here, was only at the first layer, and his strength was barely at the third-rate level of the Jianghu.

Compared to Yuwen Chengdu, who is not much older than him, it is too far behind.

In this world, the martial arts level is much stronger than in *Xiaoao*. Even if he was at the peak in the *Xiaoao* world, placed in this world, it wouldn't count as anything, and compared to the four great experts of the Yuwen family, he is not as good.

Not to mention that he just traveled here, so it is better to keep a low profile.

After two years of continuous cultivation, his strength has grown a lot. Perhaps because the world level is higher, practicing martial arts again, his cultivation speed is very fast.

The Yuwen family's Ice Profound Energy is indeed a top-notch martial art, but Su Fan did not choose this martial art.

Su Fan soul-traveled to this world, his spiritual power is very strong, and he can perceive the heaven and earth origin energy. Of course, it cannot be compared to the immortal cultivation world, but it is far beyond *Xiaoao*. It's a pity that under his perception, he can cultivate truth, but it is very difficult to achieve anything. I am afraid that in a few decades, he will only be at the early stage of Qi Refining.

The world of *Datang Shuanglong* is preceded by *Bianhuang Chuanshuo*, and there are countless divine skills and unique arts.

The four great strange books, as well as other top-notch unique arts, whether it is the ideological concepts contained within them, the operation routes, or the effects on the body, all have merits.

Not to mention anything else, just take the Yin Kui Sect's Heavenly Demon Force Field; that is a unique art that can use true energy to directly pull and disturb the heaven and earth magnetic field.

Such martial arts already involve heaven and earth nature, and the understanding and application of natural forces are quite exaggerated.

At the early stage of Qi Refining, he feels that placed in this world, encountering experts like Yuwen Shang, he would definitely be beaten up, and even Yuwen Huaji and the others, I am afraid, are not enough to look at.

After all, the martial arts of this world can also be applied to heaven and earth spirit energy.

He doesn't look down on Ice Profound Energy, but he feels it is better to cultivate his own.

In this life, he did not choose the internal energy flow of the internal family, but changed to try another way. In the previous life, his martial arts internal energy reached the Innate level.

In this life, he wants to see, walking the path of martial arts flesh and blood, focusing on the flesh, how much benefit the planted soul seed will have when it reaches the main world. Of course, internal energy is only auxiliary.

Then the best auxiliary, naturally, is the Purple Cloud Divine Skill.

This martial art, he has felt its extraordinariness more and more over the decades of his several lives combined.

The martial arts flesh flow, he also found it unusual when he practiced it as an auxiliary in the main world. The flesh is strong and possesses very strong combat power.

Especially since he used many techniques from his previous life and utilized the evolution space to cast them into one body-forging technique, the "Five Elements Body Forging Art."

Using external training of tendons, bones, and skin, and internal training of blood and the five viscera and six entrails, he completed the detachment of the flesh.

In two years, he forged his flesh to be extremely strong, his tendons and bones like dragons and elephants, and his blood like mercury.

A casual strike had the strength of a thousand jin, and even if it couldn't be compared to Yuwen Chengdu, it definitely wasn't much worse.

He didn't know what his strength was in the Jianghu now.

But comparing it to the Innate level in the *Xiaoao* world, he estimated that he could definitely win.

After all, he once struck with all his might, using a diamond horse spear, and shattered a bluestone wall of the Prefectural Office with one strike.

If facing some city walls, he estimated they couldn't withstand a few of his strikes either.

Placed on the battlefield, he is definitely a first-class fierce general.

And with the continuous development of the flesh, he felt more and more that his flesh and blood could continue to develop, and now that the blood and energy had transformed into strength, he also had long-range attacks.

It is no worse than the internal energy flow.

At the same time, by continuously tempering the internal organs with blood and energy, the flesh was also faintly in a state of detachment. He didn't know what his flesh would become in the future.

Perhaps he could really achieve the indestructible diamond body.

Just like Guang Chengzi in this world, his flesh did not rot for a thousand years.

At the same time, with the condensation of blood and energy, his spirit also increased under stimulation, which is a good thing.

In the main world, soul power is more important.
