Chapter 828: The Peerless Twins

Great Shanghai is a world-renowned metropolis. It is said that over half a year ago, several Martial Dao experts standing at the pinnacle fought in Great Shanghai. Many buildings were destroyed, and even the concessions of various great powers were reduced to ruins. The casualties were countless, as if gods and demons were battling in chaos.

Time has the power to smooth over everything; half a year has passed, and everything seems to have returned to peace.

This place remains the most prosperous city in East Asia.

At this moment, with the appearance of Yu Liancheng, Yao Yue, and Lianxing, the originally noisy and bustling street gradually quieted down.

Many people cast their gazes upon the two peerless beauties, Yao Yue and Lianxing, stunned by their beauty. Furthermore, both were dressed in snow-white palace attire, appearing as if fairies had descended to the mortal world.

More people, however, were attracted by Yu Liancheng. His features were already flawless, and he seemed to exude a temperament that did not belong to the mundane world.

But there was a small group of people who revealed looks of terror upon seeing Yu Liancheng. This was only because they had witnessed that peerless battle over half a year ago. They knew that the man before them possessed the great power of a god or demon; he alone could rival a nation, and even weapons like firearms and artillery were futile against him. If he wished, the entire Great Shanghai would be reduced to broken walls and ruins before long.

"Is this the world two hundred-plus years later..."

Yao Yue stood beside Yu Liancheng, a trace of astonishment on her exquisite face.

Yao Yue had naturally sent people to investigate Yu Liancheng's background. A person with such high-level martial arts cultivation should not have been unknown; even if he lived in seclusion, he should have left some traces behind.

But no matter how they investigated, they could only trace him back to when Yu Liancheng appeared on the grasslands, traveling with Xiaoxiannv Zhang Jing due to the matter of Yan Nantian's Treasure Map.

Beyond that, it was a blank slate, with no traces to be found, as if this person had appeared out of thin air. Yao Yue had many guesses about this. Yet, no matter what, she could never have imagined that the other party was actually capable of traveling through worlds, a visitor from beyond the heavens.

Yao Yue found a book called "Chinese Dynasties" in a bookstore and learned that in this world, there were the Hundred Schools of Thought, the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the moon of the Qin and the passes of the Han, the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing... and the Ming dynasty where they were from seemed to be about two hundred years removed from this current era.

In this present era, it is the so-called torrent of humanity. Technology has developed, and martial arts have declined. A common person's decades of martial arts training might not be a match for an ordinary person holding a firearm.

Yao Yue was suspicious by nature. After all, she had not truly experienced the vicissitudes of two hundred years, and books and texts could be forged, so she was not entirely certain that this was indeed two hundred-plus years later. But one thing was certain: after stepping through that Stone Gate, they had already entered a different world.

Moreover, in some respects, this world was even more vast.

After Yao Yue reached the tenth level of Mingyu Kung, she clearly felt a kind of indescribable shackle, even a sense of oppression; there was some kind of power in the dark, pressing down on her physical shell and soul.

But upon arriving in this world, she felt refreshed in body and mind, like a fish entering the great sea.

Yao Yue, having read extensively, had some guesses about this.

She could not help but glance at Yu Liancheng again.

If her guess were true, then the pressure this fellow received would be ten or a hundred times greater than hers. Yet, looking at this fellow, he remained as light and breezy as ever.

Yao Yue did not know that Yu Liancheng could replace the will of Heaven with his own heart, forming a world of his own.

Although when he struck with full force, it might cause a resonance with heaven and earth, causing the winds and clouds to change color and thunder and lightning to explode, thereby directly breaking through the world and leaving.

"Didn't you wonder before why I progressed so quickly? One of the reasons is that I can travel through many worlds, contend with countless martial arts experts, and nurture my growth through battle, catalyzing my Martial Dao time and again. The martial arts world you are in is not only limited by heaven and earth, but no matter how good your talent is, you can only mark time. Furthermore, there are no opponents to contend with, and you cannot temper your martial arts and character through repeated battles."

Yu Liancheng spoke eloquently: "Shallow waters cannot raise a Flood Dragon. In this world, not only is technology changing with each passing day, but Martial Dao experts are also emerging one after another, as numerous as a forest. Even if the two of you sisters joined forces, the number of people who could defeat you exceeds the count of two hands. But on the whole, you can be considered First-class Experts in this world. From now on, you can practice martial arts and polish your spirit here."

Yao Yue's eyes flickered, as if she possessed infinite fighting spirit.

She looked forward to battling different experts.

Lianxing, however, was still looking at everything around her with curious eyes, and she even had some small trinkets she had just bought in her hands.

Well, bought with silver...

Yu Liancheng looked at Yao Yue again and smiled: "If you can defeat all the strong enemies in this world and become the supreme power globally, perhaps you might be able to take three or two of my moves."

Yao Yue snorted coldly and said: "Three or two moves?"

Yu Liancheng shook his head and said: "My accumulation in Martial Dao was not achieved in a single world, and the number of strong enemies and experts I have encountered is countless. Even if true gods, Buddhas, or Demons were to descend, I might not be unable to defeat them. You, don't be too ambitious."

When martial arts reach his level, one can laugh proudly at the mundane world and remain in the world as an immortal.

Fungong Yao Yue's expression changed slightly, and she stopped speaking.

Fungong Lianxing said: "I don't want to go around looking for fights just to take your three or two moves. However, this place is indeed quite interesting. Let us play for a while, and then you can send me back to Yihua Palace."

Yu Liancheng tapped Lianxing on the head and laughed: "You, you are just too lazy in Yihua Palace, playing the zither and painting, tending to flowers and plants all day long. If this continues, you will completely become a homebody."

Although Lianxing had never heard the term "homebody," she could guess the meaning, and biting her lip, she said: "What is wrong with being a homebody? Fighting and killing is very boring."

Yu Liancheng pinched her cheek: "Alright, you stay in this world too, and keep your sister company. Besides, although Mingyu Kung has the effect of preserving one's youth, it is still far from eternal youth. In this world, there are truly martial arts that can keep one's appearance from aging."

When these words were spoken, not only was Lianxing moved, but Yao Yue also cast a sidelong glance.

Although both Fungongs were peerless beauties, and time had only added a touch of unique, mature charm to them without making them look old, they were already afraid of the passage of time. Even a single white hair could cause them pain, and the mere thought of what they would look like after eighty or ninety years made them feel palpitations.

Lianxing hesitated and asked: "Is there really a martial art that keeps one's appearance from aging?"

Yu Liancheng smiled and nodded.

He was not sure if there were martial arts in this world that kept one's appearance from aging, but as long as he was willing, let alone keeping one's appearance from aging, even immortality could be achieved. At worst, he could modify the "Sacred Heart Art" a little, carve it on some stone wall, and then advertise it to the whole world...

"Let's go, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Let's go change into some clothes first, then I'll accompany you to go shopping and properly appreciate the local customs and culture." Yu Liancheng stood in front of a clothing store, looked for a moment, and led the two women inside. After more than an hour, he led the two women out, now changed into qipaos.

Both women's cheeks were slightly flushed, but they were quite poised. It was just that when Yu Liancheng looked them up and down and let out clicks of praise, Lianxing still couldn't help but punch him hard several times.

Afterwards, Yu Liancheng accompanied the two women in this world for a month, went to see Princess Yunluo, and after lingering with this Princess for a while, he returned to Yihua Palace.

In Yihua Palace, Yu Liancheng informed the palace maids like Huayuelu about their Fungong's seclusion, and then he set foot in the Edo once more to see old friends and confidantes of the Edo.
