Chapter 58: The First Wave of Interception Aborts

【Turbulence in the Liang Lands (I): First defeating Jin Sanming, then beheading Wang Chongguang, the news shakes the Northern Lands. Master Huoyun is terrified in his heart, daring not give you another chance to grow. He strikes in the dead of night by the Black Water River, where he happens upon the Night Princess, Tang Qingyan.】

【Tang Qingyan arrived at the Black Water River late at night, intending to admire the moon reflected in the water and use it to contemplate the Divine Intent. She never expected to be interrupted by Master Huoyun. Recalling how her clansman, who had escorted military pay for a thousand miles, had been hunted down by men dispatched by Master Huoyun, she is fueled by old grudges and new hatred.】

【Tang Qingyan strikes, and Master Huoyun is forced to engage. After over a hundred rounds, Master Huoyun is outmatched and flees in a sorry state. Tang Qingyan pursues him, the two battling for over a hundred miles and stirring up massive waves. The clash of Earth Ranking Grandmasters shocks the world.】

【Three years later, re-entering the Northern Lands, Master Huoyun had not yet made a move before being hunted all the way by Tang Qingyan. Fleeing for his life in a wretched state, he is finally rescued by Lin Sanxing, a Ten Thousand Household Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, barely saving his life at the cost of a severed arm.】

【You are completely unaware of this matter. The turbulence in the Northern Lands never rose again before dissipating like smoke. You depart from the Northern Lands, passing through the Liang Lands to return to Xiangzhou.】

【On the way, arriving at Great Liang City, you happen upon an elder, the master of the Great Liang Du Clan, the Pure Yang Grandmaster—Du Zhangwang.】

【The two converse happily. The other party advises you to leave the Liang Lands voluntarily, as the Liang Lands are currently not peaceful. The Master of the Mechanism Gate—Gongshu Duwang—had long since restored the blueprints for the Ancient Giant God Soldier. He spent a vast amount of time and cost, successfully forging it three years ago, yet kept it a secret. In recent years, he has been constantly active in the city, intending to dominate the Liang Lands alone.】

【Exhausting the wealth of the Liang Lands, he is building a mechanism city, calling it the Heavenly Palace.】

【Hearing of the Giant God Soldier, you cannot help but think back to the Changzhou evil ghost incident. At that time, in order to investigate the culprit behind the cannibalism, you had inadvertently broken into a mysterious place, where you accidentally obtained a fragmentary map, which was precisely of the Giant God Soldier.】

【You cannot help but develop an interest, intending to meet Gongshu Duwang.】

【Cultivating bitterly for one month, Reward: Sword Summoning Flight (Simple Version)!】

【(Completed!)】

At dusk, Seeing Dou Changsheng glanced at the system.

He saw this happy life that made it impossible for others to survive.

Is this still human?

Master Huoyun, a dignified Earth Ranking Grandmaster, just because he harbored murderous intent toward you.

It then led to True Person Huoyun being hunted all the way by Tang Qingyan, not to mention losing half his life, he also lost an arm. This is an irreparable injury; True Person Huoyun's combat power is greatly diminished, and he will likely become a piece of fat meat in the eyes of other grandmasters.

There will definitely be many people taking advantage of the situation to challenge him, wanting to step on True Person Huoyun to climb higher. Whether True Person Huoyun can maintain his Earth Ranking is also a question mark.

What a miserable person.

This is what life is.

Seeing Dou Changsheng could not help but feel his heart yearn.

But the Giant God Soldier, what exactly is this thing?

Seeing Dou Changsheng possesses too little information; his mind is a blank slate. Even if he were to imagine it, he couldn't come up with anything.

Carefully recalling the Earth Ranking, he intends to seek out this Gongshu Duwang.

Dominating the Liang Lands, building a mechanism city, calling it the Heavenly Palace.

Such ambition and spirit are definitely not those of an ordinary person.

Without Earth Ranking strength, how could he dare to be so bold?

He soon found it. The Northern Lands produced five Earth Ranking experts; the Liang Lands have fewer, but there are still three.

Twentieth on the Earth Ranking, known as Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements.

This world, from ancient times to the present, has never had a single day of peace.

All kinds of ambitious people, you finish your act and I take the stage.

First the Northern Lands, then the Liang Lands; Northern Jin is so chaotic.

But other territories are likely not much better. As long as one has strength and ideals, each one is a source of disaster.

This strength is also about right.

The top ten are all people who usurp nations; the top twenty overturning a region is very normal.

Regarding this, Seeing Dou Changsheng has the deepest feelings.

Chen Qingyao and the Demon Master, which one takes the Emperor seriously? Chen Qingyao still puts on a facade, but the Demon Master simply doesn't bother anymore. If he's unhappy, he goes to the Imperial Palace to beat the Emperor, and spends the night on the Dragon Bed. The most ruthless part is that the Demon Master never tries to control the Imperial Palace.

He lets the Emperor toss and turn, recruit martial artists, invite experts out of the mountains, and finally crushes them hard.

I am grateful to the future Dou; at the very least, he eats the meat, which allows me to drink a bit of the soup.

Seeing Dou Changsheng casually claimed the mission reward. A set of oral formulas constantly emerged in his mind, and immediately countless memories appeared. Those were scenes of his own diligent study and hard practice: from the first time he flew with a sword, falling halfway, to being able to fly a hundred meters back and forth, the Sword Summoning Flight becoming more and more proficient, until finally, he had perfectly mastered it.

Sword Summoning Flight.

This is a decent ability.

It just happens to make up for his own shortcomings.

The Primordial Realm can only leap into the air; to truly fly in the sky, one must be a Divine Marvel Grandmaster.

But the speed isn't much faster, only equivalent to an ordinary horse, but in reality, it is much faster. After all, walking in the sky doesn't require detours; one goes directly in a straight line. Only after reaching Pure Yin or Pure Yang does the speed pick up.

Now, this Sword Summoning Flight looks good, but in reality, it only relies on external objects to achieve flight.

After all, it is a simple version, and even less of a Sword Summoning Art.

But Seeing Dou Changsheng is also content, because as long as he can fly, he doesn't need to consider those below the Grandmaster level at all; they definitely won't be able to catch up.

It's just that the consumption of Primordial true qi is a bit high. For normal people learning it, it is purely a chicken rib, only used at critical moments; usually, one still has to ride a horse. But for Seeing Dou Changsheng, the consumption is not as fast as his recovery.

Recently, after a period of bitter cultivation, the total amount of Primordial true qi in Seeing Dou Changsheng's body has doubled once again.

It is becoming increasingly thick, coupled with the mastered Divine Intent Sword.

As long as it is not a Primordial Great Accomplishment who has learned a profound art, they simply cannot block Seeing Dou Changsheng's sword.

The boldness of the Primordial Return Qi Technique is so peculiar. With sufficient confidence, looking at no one else, and being extremely proud in his heart, he naturally possesses extraordinary courage.

This also led to Seeing Dou Changsheng's combat power being further elevated, far exceeding his current level.

This is the power of being a profound art. Usually, it doesn't show its mountains or dew, but in reality, the Primordial Return Qi Technique is the foundation of everything.

On the official road, dust is flying.

The high-rising sand and dust are like a long dragon, baring fangs and brandishing claws, arrogant and peerless.

A person is galloping on horseback, the momentum shaking the sky, like a thousand troops and horses.

Primordial true qi emerges, turning into a barrier, isolating the dust, watching the arrogant and domineering knight pass by.

The knight who rushed out suddenly tightened the reins in his hand. The horse, in pain, raised its front hooves high, and finally landed heavily, trampling out a pit. The knight turned the horse around, looking down at Seeing Dou Changsheng from above. After carefully identifying him, he sneered and said, "I thought I recognized the wrong person just now."

"So it really is you, Seeing Dou Changsheng."

"My younger brother, Jin Sanming, was killed by you."

"This grudge is irreconcilable."

"We should have fought to the death to decide the outcome."

"But meeting you halfway, the situation is very unusual."

"The big road faces the sky, each walks one side."

"If we meet again, it will be a case of when will the cycle of vengeance end. We can laugh off our grudges."

"Let's join forces to protect ourselves."

"Until we meet again!" ===== CHAPTER 59 =====
