Chapter 29: Theory of the Heavenly Realm
"Haha, good, you are really a strange man." Zheng He laughed.
"How long have you been in this realm, Brother Zheng?" Su Yu asked curiously.
Zheng He heard this and looked into the distance, his thoughts returned to the past.
"Back then, I followed Emperor Chengzu to launch the Jingnan Rebellion to eliminate the traitors in the court. After that, I watched countless martial arts in the palace, but I was disabled and could not practice any martial arts perfectly. I was stuck in the Grandmaster realm and could not advance. One day, I was strolling in the imperial garden with the late emperor. His Majesty looked at a sunflower and said to me that people should always face the sun like sunflowers in their lives. Even if they can't be the sun, they should be the existence that never bows their heads and never gives up when facing the direct sunlight."
"I was deeply touched, and then I regained my confidence. I spent ten years studying martial arts in the world, and finally integrated my own physique to break out of the Sunflower Manual. After another ten years, I finally broke through to the land immortal. It was exactly sixty years at that time." Zheng He said.
Su Yu listened and admired him.
"Brother Zheng is really amazing." Su Yu praised.
"It's been almost a hundred years, but I still can't go any further. I often feel that there is no end to the road ahead of this martial arts, but seeing you today, I have hope again. You are young and your talent is a hundred times better than mine. You will definitely go further." Zheng He said.
Zheng He knew that he was a disabled person. No matter how good his talent was or how mysterious his magic skills were, reaching the land immortal was still the end.
"Brother Zheng, I can tell you what the next realm is." Su Yu said after a pause.
Zheng He heard this, and his originally calm face showed excitement. He came to Su Yu in an instant and said in an almost pleading tone.
"Brother Su, what exactly is the next realm? Please tell me."
Su Yu looked at the excited Zheng He, and understood his current mood very well, and then said.
"The next realm is the realm of heaven and man. Heaven and man are in sync, resonating with heaven and earth, borrowing the laws of heaven and earth, relying on keen intuition to seek benefits and avoid harm, it can also be called the realm of immortals."
"So Su thinks that the realm of heaven and man is the peak of the human world. But how to reach it still requires everyone to understand it by themselves."
Zheng He heard this, and his face showed excitement.
"Heavenly Man Realm, Heavenly Man Transformation, hahaha, I guessed right, the highest realm of the Sunflower Manual I created is Heavenly Man Transformation, but unfortunately..." Zheng He was overjoyed at first, and then said sadly.
Su Yu understood what he meant, which was also the reason why he admired Zheng He. The highest realm of the Sunflower Manual was to point directly to Heavenly Man, but unfortunately Zheng He's body was incomplete and he could never complete the Heavenly Man Transformation.
At this time, Zheng He took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Su Yu.
"What is this?" Su Yu was a little confused.
"Back then, I deliberately let the manual flow out of the world in order to find a suitable successor for the Sunflower Manual. Until today, only the little girl Dongfang Bai has cultivated some things. You give this to her for me. It contains the hard work I have devoted for many years. Maybe there will be someone in the future, and I can see that step in her." Zheng He said.
Su Yu took it solemnly. This was the entrustment of a martial arts predecessor.
"Although Brother Zheng is a disabled person, he may not be unable to reach that step. You can create such a magical skill, why can't you create another skill to make up for your own shortcomings?" Su Yu said.
"Hahaha, that's right. People who practice martial arts should move forward bravely. Don't worry, I won't compromise like this. I also yearn for the scenery at the peak of martial arts." Zheng He regained his confidence and laughed.
After speaking, Zheng He rose from the ground, and then a token fell in front of Su Yu.
"Emperor, you can enter and leave the palace at will with this token. I will go first." Zheng He said, and his figure flew back to the Forbidden City like a ghost.
Su Yu held the token in his hand, and saw a dragon-shaped jade pendant on it. On the back of the jade pendant was written "As if I am here in person".
In fact, both of them were suppressing their fighting spirit just now. Both sides wanted to fight, but the fight between the immortals on land must be huge, so both of them restrained themselves.
"Ding..."
"Congratulations to the host for successfully unlocking the next realm information with the hidden mission."
"Task reward: one Tianren realm experience card."
"Another hidden mission." Su Yu was a little surprised.
Then he opened the system and saw the experience card.
This is just a card without a character image. There are only two words "Tianren" on the card, and a one-hour countdown on the back. It means that Su Yu can have the strength of Tianren realm for one hour.
"Good stuff." Su Yu said happily.
"System, how can I reach the real Tianren realm." Su Yu asked.
"Reply to the host, you need to fuse three land immortal realm characters to reach the Tianren realm." The system said.
Su Yu frowned when he heard it. He only had Li Chungang, who he was lucky to fuse at the beginning. If he fuses two more, how long will it take?
"Hey, forget it, forget it, don't be greedy first, I've only been here for a few months, why think so much, let it go." Su Yu's mentality quickly recovered.
Hua Mansion, Qiao Feng and others saw that Su Yu had not returned for a long time, and they were very anxious. Just when everyone was about to go out to look for her, Su Yu's figure fell from the sky.
"Emperor."
"Emperor, are you okay?"
"What happened just now?"
Everyone was talking at once.
Su Yu waved her hand and said.
"I'm fine. I just met a friend and we went out to chat for a while."
"Huh? Does the Emperor have friends in the capital?" Lu Xiaofeng asked in confusion.
As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Manlou pulled the corner of his clothes. Only then did he realize that he had said too much and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
Su Yu didn't care.
Then everyone returned to sit down again.
Dongfang Bai hesitated to speak.
Seeing her like this, Su Yu understood her thoughts and continued the previous topic directly.
"Dongfang Bai, if you want to find your sister, you can go to Beiyue Hengshan. It was Master Dingyi who drove away those horse bandits before you went back. Your sister may have been saved by her."
Dongfang Bai looked overjoyed when he heard this and said excitedly.
"Thank you, Emperor. If Lin'er is found, Dongfang will owe you a huge favor."
Dongfang Bai didn't want to stay for a moment longer, and hurriedly said goodbye to everyone, and then the red figure disappeared into the snowflakes in the sky.
At this moment, Su Yu suddenly remembered that she didn't have time to hand over the things Zheng He gave her. She shook her head helplessly and could only wait until next time.
On this day, news came out from the Forbidden City that the Ming Dynasty royal family conferred the title of Emperor of the Jade Emperor Pavilion as the Marquis of Shenwu. However, he refused to worship him and was rewarded with a royal manor twenty miles outside Beijing.
This news immediately caught everyone in Yanjing City off guard, especially Zhu Wuwu and other forces. The emperor did not discuss with them at all this time, but directly issued the imperial edict.
Zhu ignored it, and Cao Zhengchun and others went directly to the Forbidden City to meet Zhu Houzhao, but Zhu Houzhao did not give any explanation.
After sending a few people away, Zhu Houzhao sat alone on the throne and murmured to himself.
"God of land, I actually want to conquer others. Fortunately, I asked my ancestor to come forward in advance, otherwise I would have offended people in vain."
In the Hua Mansion, everyone looked at more than a dozen boxes of gold and silver treasures and a large box of martial arts secrets, all of which came with the imperial edict.
"Tsk, tsk, emperor, this emperor is really rough." Lu Xiaofeng said.
"Put it away. I have no use for these secret books. You can use them to observe and practice, but be sure not to practice at will. It is suitable for your own talents. The most important thing in martial arts is fineness, not too much. Don't be greedy." Su Yu said to several people.
At Hulong Villa, Zhu Wulan's expression was uncertain. The little emperor's move directly put him into the passive position. He never expected that the emperor would also pay attention to Su Yu and even directly give such a heavy reward.
"Damn it..." Zhu ignored and smashed the table next to him with his palm.
Zhu ignored his anger and turned around to leave, heading towards the prison where an old friend was waiting for him.
"Cough cough cough..." In an inn, Li Xunhuan kept coughing.
"Master, your injury is okay," the old servant Fu Bo said worriedly.
Three days ago, Li Xunhuan was attacked by a dozen men in black. Although he finally killed a few and drove the rest away, he was slightly injured.
"I'm not in the way, Uncle Fu, we can't stay here any longer, let's go to Hua Mansion." Li Xunhuan said.
While the two were talking, Li Xunhuan's ears twitched and he raised his hand, a flying knife appeared in his hand. Several figures also appeared outside the door.
"Who is outside the door?" Li Xunhuan asked.
"Brother Li, it's us." The person outside the door replied.
When Li Xunhuan heard this, he immediately put away his throwing knife and said.
"It turns out to be Brother Qiao, Uncle Fu, open the door."
After the door opened, Qiao Feng, Lu Xiaofeng, and A Fei walked in.
"Ahem...brother Qiao, why are you here?" Li Xunhuan said while dozing off.
"Hey, Brother Li, you should have gone to Huafu with us then." Qiao Feng sighed.
"The emperor has been sending people to pay attention to your place. We all know about the attack on you that day." Lu Xiaofeng said.
Li Xunhuan said with a smile.
"Thank you, Emperor. Li just doesn't want to disturb you."
"Do you know who made the sneak attack?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
Li Xunhuan shook his head.
"I don't know. Speaking of which, I have long since given up on Jianghu affairs, and I don't have any enemies. I can't figure out who they are," Li Xunhuan said. He asked himself that he really didn't have any enemies, because his enemies had long been killed by his flying knife.
"Brother Li, it is no longer safe here. We are here to take you back to Hua Mansion. You will be safe when we get there." Qiao Feng said.
Li Xunhuan stopped being pretentious this time. He originally planned to go to Hua Mansion, so he nodded to a few people.
The carriage left the inn where Li Xunhuan was staying, and at this moment a sneaky man on the far corner of the street was watching the scene, then turned around and disappeared.
In Xingyun Village, Long Xiaoyun was listening to the report from his spies.
"Are you sure it was Lu Xiaofeng who picked him up?" Long Xiaoyun asked.
"Yes, the owner of the village is indeed Lu Xiaofeng. There is also a very brave and strong man and a young man who I don't recognize." The spy said.
"Okay, go down and tell everyone not to worry about Li Xunhuan for now. Everything will wait for my order." Long Xiaoyun said.
After his men left, Long Xiaoyun fell into deep thought.
"Why does Li Xunhuan have anything to do with them?"
"This is going to be difficult. Damn it, Li Xunhuan, you have obviously disappeared for more than ten years, why are you coming back now?" Long Xiaoyun directly pushed down all the tea sets on the table and shouted angrily.
