Chapter 695: New Continent

"Haha... all of that is in the past..."

"The Xia Mang of the past was merely a martial artist of the Upper Three Grades... and Xun Heihu was only in the Void Realm; in terms of strength, he wasn't even as good as you..."

Fang Xing smiled: "Since Xun Heihu, I have been sleeping, only waking up after sensing changes in the outside world... I don't know how long has passed. What has happened in the outside world? Can you enlighten me?"

"Naturally, senior..."

Gui Yannian thought for a moment and began to recount from the Nine Provinces Calendar.

For some reason, hearing that this artifact spirit had slept for hundreds of thousands of years and knew nothing of the outside world, he felt much more relaxed.

Otherwise, if a powerful existence lived inside his sect's supreme treasure and could still sense the outside world, it would be too terrifying.

"So it has been so long? The Daluo Dynasty has also reached the end of its dynasty, and imperial martial arts experts are scarce... separatist forces are rising everywhere."

Fang Xing murmured: "This is the worst of times, and also the best of times."

"I don't know what senior means by this?"

Thinking of the great changes in the world that the senior had mentioned earlier, Gui Yannian felt a sense of unease.

How does the saying go? When a country is about to perish, there must be monsters!

"The great changes in the world will cause the barriers that imprison all Void Realm experts to cease to exist... Above the Void Realm will no longer be a flash in the pan, but will emerge one after another. The strong can continuously climb the martial arts steps; this is the Golden Age of martial arts..."

Fang Xing stated his prediction: "At the same time, the world will also undergo huge changes. You can check the trends in various places and then report the latest news to me..."

"Yes..."

Gui Yannian immediately agreed, not mentioning any reward or benefit at all...

For such an ancient existence, whatever leaked through his fingers would be enough for him to enjoy endlessly.

Not to mention, were the various miraculous aspects of the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman not benefits in themselves?

After Gui Yannian left, Fang Xing's expression was indifferent, and his gaze became distant.

Rumble!

Before him, a sea of chaotic Great Void of indescribable color seemed to emerge.

And in this ocean, there were blue light spots floating and sinking, like the blue tears of the ocean, each blooming with different light.

Wisps of inexplicable threads of karma connected him to these light spots, just like the threads of faith when he was in the World of Gods. Through these light spots, he could observe scenes that were either blurry or clear.

"Sigh... I've told you all so many times, the Eastern Zhenwu Visualization Technique must be centered on me. Why do so many martial artists still take shortcuts?"

"Visualizing me, this 'Eastern Zhenwu Origin,' will cause trouble..."

Fang Xing had a trace of a smile on his lips, constantly changing channels like watching television, checking the customs and local conditions of various places... he actually found it quite enjoyable.

"Hm... those who have gone astray practicing the Eastern Zhenwu Visualization Technique have varying strengths, but not a single one can truly carry the descent of my consciousness..."

Talent in this regard could be checked through the threads of faith.

Generally speaking, the clearer the scene and the longer the time, the better the talent.

But even the best one today was still a distance away from being a true "descent vessel."

'The difficulty of my descent should be a little lower than the resurrection of Pan Wu's consciousness...'

Fang Xing closed his eyes: 'Occasionally waiting for surprises is also quite interesting... Perhaps in the next moment, a peerless genius will go astray and become my vessel for descent?'

In reality, even if he wanted a vessel, it was just for fun.

The true target he was aiming at was definitely the resurrection body that Pan Wu was preparing to revive in the future.

By then, when Pan Wu was halfway through reviving, he would definitely join in and turn it into a chaotic battle...

'I hope it won't come to this step; this is the last resort... it almost represents failure...'

Fang Xing silently closed his eyes.

A few years later.

Inside the Eastern Zhenwu Space.

Gui Yannian bowed to the ground: "Senior..."

In his eyes, there was still a strong look of shock.

Every time he saw this artifact spirit, the feeling it gave people was exceptionally terrifying.

Perhaps...

Only the rumored "Evil God Pan Wu" could compare?

He had gone out this time and checked a lot of materials and ancient books. Although the Great Xia Dynasty could no longer be verified, there were still some Eastern Zhenwu Mountain orthodoxies. He had indeed obtained a few words, and it seemed that the Eastern Zhenwu Founder had said that the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman had an artifact spirit!

Therefore, seeing Fang Xing again and confirming that the other party was an old monster who could live for hundreds of thousands of years, he naturally added a lot of auras to him in his heart, giving rise to a great deal of awe.

"Did you find out anything?"

Fang Xing asked casually.

"A year ago, a 'Black Ship' landed in Haizhou... That large black iron ship was incomparably huge, and the strange people on board had blond hair and blue eyes, very different from ordinary people..."

Gui Yannian still had a look of disbelief on his face: "According to those strange people, they came from another continent across the sea... The area of that continent is even larger than the Nine Provinces... This is truly strange. Back then, one Void Realm grandmaster after another could walk through the air, and there were grandmasters who sailed overseas to find the ends of the earth, but they never reached any strange continent... And then this suddenly popped up."

"Of course, plane expansion, do you think it's a joke?"

Fang Xing chuckled: "And then?"

"Plane expansion?" Gui Yannian chewed on this vocabulary and poured out everything he knew: "Those barbarians fear power but do not cherish virtue. Among them, there are also martial artists, but they call themselves 'Knights,' divided into Knight Squires, Official Knights, Great Knights, Earth Knights, Heaven Knights, etc. It is said that a Heaven Knight can stand in the sky, roughly equivalent to a Void Realm grandmaster... They also developed a kind of steam mecha that can be worn on the body. A Knight Squire originally only had the combat power of the Lower Three Grades, but after putting on steam armor, they can fight the Middle Three Grades..."

"As soon as they got off the ship, they announced that this was the land of some 'King of the White Eagle,' and they were immediately trampled into meat paste by the furious dock workers... Later, Great Knights and Earth Knights attacked, but they were suppressed by the Void Realm elders of the Cao Gang... Hmph, mere barbarians, is the Void Realm very amazing? Our Daluo has existences above the Void Realm... That large—"

"—black ship also became a capture. It is said that some of the steam rifles and steam armor inside are very interesting. After reporting it, the imperial court intends to form a fleet to expedition to the 'White Eagle Continent'..."

"Hm, you did well."

Fang Xing encouraged him with two sentences and fell into deep thought.

This time the world had indeed expanded fiercely; the area had almost doubled in one go.

"Your strength is a bit low... With the help of the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman, you could have long since broken through to above the Void Realm..."

Fang Xing looked at Gui Yannian, somewhat dissatisfied.

Although the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman had the effect of assisting in breakthroughs, the prerequisite was perfect proficiency!

In other words, this Gui Yannian was not working hard enough!

"Forget it... I will pass you the Xuanwu True Art as a reward for this time..."

Fang Xing didn't care what Gui Yannian thought and flicked his finger.

A ray of light entered Gui Yannian's sea of consciousness: "After you go out, inquire carefully about the whereabouts of the Eastern Zhenwu orthodoxy back then... especially... the successor of the 'Eastern Zhenwu Sacred Body'!"

"Eastern Zhenwu Sacred Body? Could it be that the era of great contention is really about to arrive..."

Gui Yannian was both surprised and happy.

Regarding the "Eastern Zhenwu Sacred Body," it was a legend that had remained prosperous in the Eastern Zhenwu orthodoxy.

It is said that the Eastern Zhenwu Founder was able to open up the Void Realm and become the world's number one person because he awakened the Eastern Zhenwu Sacred Body!

Even in the later Dark Ages, there were Eastern Zhenwu Sacred Bodies that emerged and shone brightly!

The discovery of a new continent!

A brand new human race! A brand new civilization! A brand new martial arts system!

All the martial artists of the Daluo Dynasty were crazy.

On the docks, tickets for various ocean-going fleets were sold out, and even powerful martial arts sects were preparing to build giant ships alone to head to White Eagle.

As for the Daluo Imperial Court?

Which powerful martial arts force still cared about the court's orders?

In the blink of an eye, another few decades passed.

The Daluo Dynasty and the White Eagle Federation broke out in a naval battle, with countless casualties...

And various folk exchanges became more and more frequent. There were martial arts masters crossing the East Sea to step onto the White Eagle Continent, and there were also martial artists from the White Eagle Continent crossing the sea to come over, teaching the way of the Knight and various fighting techniques, establishing sects...

On this day.

Turtle-Snake Sect, inside the secret chamber.

Gui Yannian walked into the secret chamber, his gaze swept, and he suddenly slapped out a palm.

Crack!

The red altar table shattered, and a gray-white stone fragment flew out; it was the "Eastern Zhenwu Talisman"!

Gui Yannian grabbed the stone fragment, and a look of excitement couldn't help but appear on his face: "Finally got it... the supreme treasure passed down from ancient times, the symbol of the Eastern Zhenwu orthodoxy, the supreme divine object for martial artists..."

Before he finished speaking, the skin on his face actually melted like wax, revealing another face: "However... although I impersonated Gui Yannian and probed from the mouths of so many people, whether this object is genuine still needs to be verified..."

'Gui Yannian' separated a trace of spirit from the center of his eyebrows and entered directly into the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman.

"No mistake! It's here! Eastern Zhenwu Space!"

"Haha... didn't expect the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman to really be in the Turtle-Snake Sect. Heaven really wants me to make this great contribution... The Sect Master will definitely reward me heavily, maybe I can even go up another grade! Eh? No, why are there steps here?"

His gaze went upward, and he suddenly saw a figure sitting on the throne, with an indifferent gaze.

"'Pan Wu Legacy Poison' Demonic Sect... the Fourth Grade 'Thousand-Faced Lord'?"

Fang Xing looked at the fake Gui Yannian below and spoke indifferently.

Through many practitioners of the Eastern Zhenwu inheritance, he had actually achieved the ability to know the affairs of the world without the artifact spirit leaving the house.

Demonic Sect!

This was the remnant force of the Black Lotus Sect back then, and they had also contributed a lot when Eastern Zhenwu Mountain perished later.

Within the Demonic Sect, there was a special inheritance, starting from the Ninth Grade "Peeping Ghost Guest," peeping into the darkness, involving the mystery in the spirit.

Then to the Bone-Erosion Master, Delusional Monk, Eyeless Image, Blood-Glutton Guard, Thousand-Faced Lord!

Each grade had magical abilities, and the key was that it could be compatible with martial artists!

A Ninth Grade part-time job could fight the Eighth Grade and Seventh Grade!

"This system should be a pawn under Pan Wu."

Fang Xing thought to himself, and looked at 'Gui Yannian' again: "It seems you are also an abandoned pawn of the Demonic Sect. If you were a high-level member of the Demonic Sect, the Third Grade 'Eternal Darkness Marquis,' you should know that demonic cubs cannot touch Eastern Zhenwu sacred objects..." ===== CHAPTER 696 =====

Fang Xing thought to himself, then looked at Gui Yannian: "It seems you are also an abandoned pawn of the Demon Sect. If you were a high-ranking member of the Demon Sect, a Third-Rank 'Marquis of Eternal Gloom', you should know that demon spawn must not touch the Eastern Zhenwu Sacred Artifact..."
