Chapter 819 Chapter 428 The Person in the Small Stone House_2
Taicang Martial Arts could not be practiced without Domain Lingji, but Great Wilderness Martial Arts did not need it.
In the lands of the Border Wilderness, where the Northern Barbarians resided, a domineering chieftain arose, leading his vast army to invade the former Qi Country and Wu Country, intending to unify the Border Wilderness.
The people of the Northern Barbarians, dwelling in the cold and harsh lands of the Border Wilderness, were oblivious to its changes and unfamiliar with the emergence of Martial Arts. After a fierce internal chaos, unity was restored, and the mightiest ruler in a thousand years appeared in the Barbarian Court.
Having accumulated enough strength, he finally embarked on a campaign to unify all under heaven.
Upon learning this, Emperor Qi and The Emperor of Wu were overjoyed and personally took action. Just the two of them swept through the Northern Barbarian army and captured the chieftain alive.
The hearts of all Northerners crumbled. They had originally thought to annihilate Qi Country and Wu Country and seize their rich lands, only to be overthrown by two men!
The strength they displayed was like that of a Heavenly God!
Compared to the true gods of the Northern Barbarians that they worshipped, they seemed like mere ants!
The chieftain of the Northerners was dumbfounded. Anyone with slightly weaker will might have been driven mad by the shock!
After this event, the Northerners changed. They started to join the two emperors of the Great Wilderness and became subjects of the Great Wilderness, while the Barbarian Chieftain promptly and decisively knelt and took the emperors as his masters.
"The people of the Northern Barbarians have robust physiques and can endure hardships, making them suitable for practicing the Physical Body Martial Arts of the Great Wilderness!"
Thus, some exceptionally talented Northern youths were taught the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield and began practicing Great Wilderness Martial Arts.
The former Inner Realm had long been forgotten, and even the younger generation did not know that the Great Wilderness was once called the Inner Realm.
The older generation of martial artists rarely mentioned the Inner Realm, only within the historical records of the Martial Arts Academy were there some accounts about the Inner Realm before the Great Wilderness.
The martial artists who practiced Inner Realm Martial Arts were ultimately too numerous to successfully convert to practicing Great Wilderness Martial Arts, and so among the older generation of martial artists, those who practiced Inner Realm Martial Arts still made up the majority.
However, these martial artists, though not practicing Great Wilderness Martial Arts, had also integrated into the Great Wilderness, no longer calling themselves Inner Realm martial artists, and instead took pride in being Great Wilderness Warriors.
In the lands of the Border Wilderness, the Wu Country Royal Palace.
This place had become one of the two royal palaces of the Great Wilderness, where The Emperor of Wu resided for a period of time each year.
But the vast royal palace was mostly quiet and deserted, only becoming lively on the days when The Emperor of Wu returned.
Usually, it was the former eunuchs who cleaned the palace.
These eunuchs, who had stayed behind, mostly lacked Martial Arts talent when they were unable to pursue martial pursuits, could only spend the rest of their lives here.
Of course, these eunuchs did practice cultivation, but their strength was weak; it was, however, enough to sustain them with the physical vigor required to clean the palace and perform various chores.
When The Emperor of Wu returned, he would still reward them with pills.
The Great Wilderness had abolished the eunuch system, and the eunuchs serving Emperor Qi and The Emperor of Wu were all from the very first batch; there were no new eunuchs afterwards.
Deep within the palace, there was a chamber only The Emperor of Wu could enter.
In the silent palace, a small stone hut suddenly uttered a murmur, "What\'s going on? Why does it feel more and more wrong? The increase in spiritual energy and Domain Lingji seems to be too rapid.
"Moreover, that boy, The Emperor of Wu, has actually become a martial artist. Why is the Martial Arts he practiced different from what I know?
"Could it be that Taicang has fallen? Impossible, if it had fallen, why didn\'t I notice?"
This voice was filled with doubt and confusion.
If The Emperor of Wu were here, he would realize that this voice was the same mysterious voice that had been missing for a long time.
"Strange, the next time that boy, The Emperor of Wu, comes, should I try to feel him out? No, that\'s not right, I\'m pretending to be dead now, I can\'t reveal myself.
"Right, I cannot reveal myself, there are too many swindlers out there, all swindlers. They deceived me into coming here and trapped me.
"I must not be fooled again, I must not be curious again, I definitely cannot be fooled. I trust no one, including Taicang!
"Yes, including Taicang, I do not trust him either, he actually deceived me and locked me up here, leaving me here to die!"
The murmuring voice grew increasingly angry, yet there was also a hint of sorrow.
"How long has it been? I can\'t remember, but it\'s been a very, very long time. I\'ve slept and slept, and Taicang still hasn\'t come back, he\'s really dead.
"Woo woo, even he died, that\'s really frightening. Can this world continue to exist? Won\'t it be overrun? What if someone discovers me, what should I do?
"Forget it, I\'ll sleep it off and pretend nothing happened.
"Yes, that\'s it, sleep it off as if nothing has happened, woo woo... Taicang must have died miserably, it serves him right for locking me up here. If I had helped him, even if I had died, I should have been able to leave behind a single bone!"
In the small stone house, a murmuring voice echoed.
"Sleep, sleep, all will be well after a sleep, one must not be curious, that whelp of The Emperor of Wu, he must be trying to pique my curiosity on purpose, hmph, I won\'t be fooled!"
The voice gradually quieted down.
Li Xuan returned to the Great Wilderness, walking among it, watching the young men striving in Skin Refinement, Bone Refinement, and Viscera Refinement, diligently cultivating their Martial Arts, presenting a thriving scene.
"Not bad, in a hundred, a thousand years, the strength of the Great Wilderness Martial Arts Realm is bound to surge."
Li Xuan did not disturb anyone, striding on clouds, he made his way to the Border Wilderness.
"Let the Border Wilderness remain as such, the absence of Domain Lingji is not necessarily a bad thing."
He arrived outside the Wu Country Royal Palace.
Li Xuan looked up at the firmament, and with his strength and the Eye of the Heavenly Dao, he instantly discovered something peculiar.
"A seal? It doesn\'t quite seem so, it\'s more like using the Domain itself to bind an existence, quite special."
If it were not for his insight into the Taicang Domain, possession of the Eye of the Heavenly Dao, and his attainment of the Domain Realm, he probably would not have noticed the anomaly.
"Even a Supreme Expert who transcends the Domain wouldn\'t be able to detect it."
Too well-concealed!
Moreover, this kind of method is not something common powerful beings can accomplish.
Master of the Taicang Domain!
This is the handiwork of the Master of the Taicang Domain, only The Master of Taicang could achieve this step.
"What kind of powerful being is trapped here? Something even The Master of the Taicang Domain cannot deal with?"
Li Xuan was extremely surprised.
And from the way such a secretive arrangement is made, it seems as though they\'re afraid of someone discovering and rescuing the person confined here.
His gaze turned toward the small stone house.
As if penetrating all obstacles, he vaguely saw the ground beneath the small stone house, at a depth unknown, imbued with a hazy purple glimmer.
"This stone house..."
Li Xuan raised an eyebrow, the stone house looked utterly ordinary, yet not so ordinary, tied to the entire arrangement, also one part of the concealment of the trapped existence.
"Without entering the stone house, it\'s likely impossible to see through it completely."
Li Xuan pondered.
He only saw a faint purple light but could not completely discern what lay within.
"With my current strength, since the other party is bound, even if they are very strong, they can\'t use their power, so there is no need to worry about danger."
Li Xuan stepped towards the palace.
A mysterious aura emerged at that moment, making him appear inscrutable, enough to deceive the confined person.
Clasping the Jade Ruyi in hand and striding with an unrestrained gait, he displayed the poise of a superior being.
He pushed open the doors of the palace and entered.
The palace doors closed.
With a leisurely and easygoing demeanor, he entered the small stone house, which appeared quite ordinary and without any oddity.
Li Xuan took out a chair and sat down with a relaxed and comfortable air.
He brewed a pot of Spiritual Tea, pouring two cups of the tea.
"Little friend, come up and have a cup of tea."
Li Xuan smiled cordially.
Since he was a peerless expert, it was only natural to maintain the image of one, regardless of the other\'s strength, they would still seem insignificant before him!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Since the other party couldn\'t see through his strength, they would only assume he was profound and unfathomable.
Given these circumstances, addressing the other as "little friend" seems quite reasonable, doesn\'t it?
With a smile on his face, like a kind old senior, "Little friend, no need to pretend anymore, I\'ve already seen you. Come, have a cup of tea and let\'s chat, just for a casual talk."
