Chapter 53: Bo Xian Arrives First

  "It is I, old man. No need for courtesy, young master." Bo Xian stroked his beard and smiled, but immediately followed with a sigh: "I also have some connection with your mother, I remember that Qin Xianzi was stunningly beautiful in her youth, only to be cut down by heaven's cruelty. Who would have thought that after parting ways at the Yellow River, it would be a permanent farewell? But fortunately, young master and Tianyi have grown up, young master is brave and decisive, and Tianyi is also following in Qin Xianzi's footsteps."

  Bo Xian had not finished speaking when Luo Xiang suddenly interrupted him, saying: "All these are old things that happened many years ago. Now, sir, you bring them up again, only to add to the sadness."

  "What the master said is extremely right." Bu Xianzhi's expression was slightly stunned, but he immediately understood Ruo Xiang's meaning and followed the momentum to say: "Master Hou, please don't be offended. I miss my old friend and apologize for any disrespect."

  "Sir, you are a transcendent being, and I, a junior, can only respect you from afar, how dare I blame you?" Haotian burst out laughing: "Besides, the name 'Tianyi' was given by you, sir. When Tianyi was born, he was able to escape disaster, all thanks to your kindness. In these twenty years, I have yet to express my gratitude in person."

  As soon as he heard this, Bu Xianzhi's face was again filled with anxiety and he let out a long sigh before saying: "It is the will of Heaven, it is the will of Heaven!"

  Lu Xiang took a step forward, taking over Bu Xianzhi's words and said: "Master only knows that Master Bu is the Holy Envoy of Goryeo, I'm afraid you don't know that Master Bu is also one of the top ten masters in Shen Zhou?"

  Haotian Yiqi: "The top ten masters of Shenzhou? What kind of people are they?"

  "The so-called top ten masters of the divine state, are the collective term for the top ten martial artists in the divine state's wulin. The first is Ruo Hanfeng, known as the 'Destruction of Heaven and Earth' hand, but it is said that he died twenty years ago on the Yin Wind Mountain Range; second is Tian Fengyu, the current master of the Jade Palace of Yaochi, also known as the 'Sword Emperor'; third is Ruoyu Hanmei, the master of the Yunyucunghua Palace, known as the 'Smoke and Rain Goddess'; fourth is Gao Lishi, the Holy Envoy of Korea; fifth is Nalan Bingchuan, the current master of the Tianwuxinghe, also known as the 'Master of the Dust' and the teacher of Lianchen Zhuren; sixth is Dingtiansheng Chu Jianhuan, the current master of the Mingjian Mountain Villa, known as the 'Number One Sword in Jiangnan'; seventh is Jiao Zhongxin, the current leader of the Wulin Alliance, also known as the 'Gun King'; eighth is Mo Fanghua, the number one martial artist of Yunnan and the teacher of Qiu Mu, known as the 'Knife Emperor'; ninth is Xueyu Tianjiao Lingxian, one of the four elders of the Blood-colored Plateau, also known as the 'Snow Domain Heavenly Pride' and the teacher of Qingcheng Gongzhu; last but not least, there is Jiu Tian Yushen Jun Weiming Jun Laoxiansheng, who is a member of the imperial guard and holds the highest official position among the Jianghu people in the imperial court." Ruo Xiang explained in detail, while Huan Tian and Tian Yi listened with great interest. The others, including Xian Liandu, were also listening carefully, but as they were all from the Jianghu world, they were not as unfamiliar with these Jianghu legends as Huan Tian and Tian Yi were."

  "It turns out that Mr. is one of the top ten masters in China after all, someone was indeed disrespectful just now." Haotian said with a fist bump.

  "Your Excellency doesn't have to be so polite, that person is just a mere empty title. Your Excellency probably doesn't know, after the Top 10 Masters of Shen Zhou, there are also the Top 10 Heroes of Shen Zhou, now Shen Zhou is already their world." Bu Xianzhi said with a smile.

  Hao Tian said with surprise: "The top ten heroes of the Divine Land? Oh, Mr. Luo once mentioned that the Four Great Heavenly Kings of the Martial Arts World are among the top ten heroes."

  "The master has spoken well." Kong Xiang nodded and said, "The top ten heroes of the Divine State were selected only in the past two years, while the Four Great Heavenly Kings are figures from several years ago. The top ten heroes, ranked first is Li Xiao Mao, the young master of Qin River Road; second is Song Junlin, the young master of Yi State Road; third is Chu Lianfeng, the young master of Mingjian Mountain Villa; fourth is Sheng Lanxin, the contemporary sword-bearing saintess of Yaochi Yuguang; fifth is Xue Jiucheng, the contemporary saintess of Blood-colored Plateau, also known as Princess Qincheng; sixth is Liandu Zhu Mu; seventh is Zhang Yuewan, the legitimate princess of Huai River Zhang family; eighth is Autumn Miao, the legitimate disciple of Knife Emperor Hua Mofang; ninth is Tong Yue, the gatekeeper disciple of Mr. Junweiming; and lastly is Fu Ruoshui, the little disciple of Master Bu, also the only princess of Goryeo now."

  That fifteen or sixteen year old girl, upon hearing this, hastily said with humility: "Yu Shui is just lucky to have a good master. If we're talking about real skills, Yu Shui can't bear the title of one of the top ten heroes."

  Luo Xiang waved his hand nonchalantly, furrowed his brow, and only then said: "Actually, apart from the top ten masters and the top ten heroes, there are also the eight great masters of the evil path. The first is You Ming Gui Mai Kai Jun, this person has always been on good terms with the Ji Le Sheng Jiao, and has a close relationship with the military strategist Bing Heng. However, his whereabouts have always been unpredictable. The second is the number one master of the demon girl clan, Qian Bian Yao Ji. This person became famous over 40 years ago, but almost no one knows her name or true face."

  "As for martial arts, in the world, except for Ying Wu and Hui Tian Mie Di Shou Han Feng, I'm afraid there's no one who can be her opponent in a one-on-one fight." Bu Xian Zhi interjected.

  Luo Xiang nodded: "The third-ranked is the so-called Lingxu Fantian, the number one master of Eastern Japan, De Kang Xin Zhi. This person is from the royal family of Eastern Japan, but has had no news for decades, making people suspect whether he exists; The fourth is Wu You Yao Zun Wuhuan; The fifth is Mo Men's first master, Xi Xue Mo Jun Du She; The sixth is Saiwai Canglang Ye Lu Cang Lang, this person is also the number one master of Saiwai and is from the Mandan royal family; The seventh is Yin Shi Jun Shi Bing Heng, this person is the core of the Extreme Joy Holy Teachings and is the sworn brother of the sect leader Cheng Xian Qing; Finally, there is the Old Man of the Wind, He Lian Tie Shu.

  After listening to Xiao Xiang's account, Qiu Mu and Xian Lian Chen didn't seem to have much reaction, but Huang Tian and Tian Yi both let out a long sigh of relief. After a while, Huang Tian finally spoke up: "I've been in the military for a long time, I didn't expect that the current martial arts world would be so prosperous. Hehe, originally thought that my two brushes were not bad, but compared to them, I'm afraid I couldn't even last one round. By the way, how does the Blood Killing General compare to them?"

  Luo Xiang thought for a moment before saying, "The Blood Kill General is the legitimate disciple of Ying Wu Ju Shi and has a natural talent. In today's world, even if it were the Thousand Change Demoness, I estimate that he could barely hold his own against her. However, on the battlefield, even if Ying Wu Ju Shi himself were to appear, he would still have a chance to put up a fight."

  Bu Xian nodded: "Ying Wu is a martial arts master who is worthy of the title, and his name has been known throughout the land for thirty years. With his standards for choosing disciples, he should have this level of skill. In fact, Master Hou doesn't need to be so humble, if Master Hou can master the family's traditional martial arts, then even someone like myself would not be able to compare with Master Hou."

  "What family martial arts?" Haotian and Tianyi exchanged a glance, both with puzzled faces. They didn't know what family martial arts they had, but since Bo Xianzhi said it so confidently, he must have his reasons. Meanwhile, Qiu Mu's eyes lit up, smiling as she looked at Haotian and the others.

  Bo Ha smiled and said, "In the current martial arts world, there are ten great martial arts that have been passed down, known as the Ten Great Ancient Wonders. The first is the Inverse Heaven Killing God Technique, which is a secret of the Tianji Valley's Yingwu lineage. Its weapon is one of the three great bows, the Heavenly Punishment Bow. It is said that if heaven loses its way, I will defy heaven; if gods fall, I will kill gods! And Yingwu hermit is its successor. The Inverse Heaven Killing God Technique is known as the strongest!"

  The second is the Tianmo Duoshen Jue. This is the highest martial art of the Demon Gate, and under the influence of martial arts, it is most fond of blood and war. His Tianmo knife method can only be compared to the cold frost knife of the Knife King. It is said that when practiced to the extreme, one can kill gods. The successor of the Bloodthirsty Devil Lord Du She is the inheritor of this technique, known as the Extreme Evil.

  The third is the Tian Yao's Soul-destroying Dance. This is the ultimate skill of the female demon clan, because its weapon is the body itself, so the successor must be a beautiful woman. After the divine work is completed, it will not show its true form to people. However, before that, it is mainly about entering the world, so it is the most difficult to practice. The method is extremely demonic, and Qianbian Yaoji is its successor.

  The fourth is the Iron Cavalry Flow. This is the most lethal and destructive of the ten great qigongs, a peerless gun technique that is invincible on the battlefield. Its style is grand and tragic, tempered by blood and fire. It is said to have been lost for ages.

  The fifth is Phantom Flowing Light. This is the highest lightness kung fu in the world, at its highest level can make a person's body become ethereal and elusive, able to travel thousands of miles in a day. It is a strange martial art that cultivates internal energy through physical movements. Extremely fast. He Lian Tie Shu has cultivated part of this technique.

  The sixth is the Heaven Destroying Earth Exterminating Hand. This is the most venomous martial art in the world. It can severely affect the user's mind and spirit, to the point where it can even forcibly extract others' memories, destroying their mind and spirit, with a technique that is extremely poisonous.

  Seventh is the Ice Seal Heavenly Music Score. This is the unparalleled martial art of the Blood-colored Plateau's Blood-colored Clan. When cold energy enters the body, it not only freezes the opponent's physical body but also solidifies their blood and energy. Extremely cold. Xueyu Tianjiao Lingxian is its inheritor.

  The eighth is the Tianwai Feixian Jue. This is the ultimate technique of the Jade Palace in Yaochi. The biggest feature is that the sword heart is spiritual, with the heart controlling the sword and emotions controlling the sword. According to legend, only the purest virgin can exert the greatest combat power. Saintly. Jian Hou Tian Feng Yu was also a master of this skill. It's also because of this that the leader of the Jade Palace in Yaochi rarely gets married.

  The ninth is the Nine Underworlds' Life-Taking Technique. This is a non-transmissible secret of the most mysterious ghost girl clan in legend, second only to the Guardian Clan. However, the Ghost Girl Clan has always been extremely secretive, so this technique hasn't appeared on the rivers and lakes for at least two hundred years. Extremely sinister. Unleashes a woman's maximum combat power."

  Here is the translation:

  "Having said that, Bu Xianzhi took a long breath and looked at Luo Hanfeng, whose expression remained unchanged. He then continued: 'These nine extraordinary skills, if practiced to their ultimate level, have no distinction between high and low. The last one, the Xuanyuan Emperor's Skill, is truly the highest martial art without rival. This is the most mysterious aspect of the world's martial arts, with its unique feature being that it uses the harmony of yin and yang, taking emotions as a medium to elevate both parties' cultivation. Unlike the inferior 'absorbing yin to supplement yang', if the object of Xuanyuan Emperor's Skill does not have a certain emotional foundation, they will inevitably suffer from backlash. It is called the most supreme martial art in the world."

  Haotian listened with great confusion: "These ten great qigongs, I haven't even heard of one, where did this family's traditional martial arts come from?" Tianyi also had the same expression.

  "Is that so? Lord Hou and Tianyi are the direct descendants of the heavenly fairy Qin Xianzi, and Qin Xianzi is the legitimate heir of the Guardian Clan. The Guardian Clan's treasure is the Xuanyuan Emperor's Imperial Merit, isn't that what Lord Hou's family martial art is?"

  "How does it seem like everyone in the world knows that my mother is Qin Shang?" Haotian let out a bitter laugh. Before this, he had always thought his mother's identity was mysterious, but it turned out that basically anyone with a certain status twenty years ago knew that his mother was indeed Qin Shang. Although Haotian didn't mind others knowing who his mother was, every time an older person would sigh and say "Qin Xianzi was like this and that back in the day", he still felt a sense of suffocation in his heart. However, his heart was also filled with shock - unexpectedly, the book his father Haotian had made him memorize before passing away was actually the imperial edict of the Xuan Yuan Emperor.

  Bo Xian sighed slightly: "I think back to the year Qin Xianzi was in his prime, anyone who came from that era would have an impression. But what I don't understand is, since Master Hou has a precious treasure, why hasn't he practiced it?"

  Hao Tian's face turned red: "This... someone has been fascinated with military history since childhood, and Father didn't have any expectations about it, so I've never practiced."

  "It's a great pity, but it's also fortunate. The Marquis was able to sweep across the Yellow River with his 1,000 iron cavalry, which can be considered as 'the loss of a horse is not necessarily a misfortune'."

  At this point, Lu Xiang interrupted Bu Xianzhi's words again and turned to face Qiu Mu, saying: "Miss seems to be listening very seriously?"

  Qiu Mu's heart skipped a beat, but her mouth said: "As a young woman who has just entered the Jianghu, I don't have a deep understanding of these Jianghu affairs. Just now, after listening to Master Bu, I listened with great attention."
