Chapter 760: Chapter 210: The Invincible Spring God’s Fury, Annihilating Nan Batian (10,000 words, please subscribe)

“Spring God’s Fury?”

Seeing the old Taoist so agitated, Peng Yingyu also narrowed her eyes, watching Chen Jiusi in the mirror.

Especially the divine shadow behind him.

“Spring God Ju Mang!”

Peng Yingyu almost recognized the details of this divine image at a glance; it was indeed Spring God Ju Mang.

Ju Mang is the god of wood and spring, the god of the east, overseeing the revival of all things and the budding of the earth in spring.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas records that he was a loyal servant under Fu Xi, and he was also in charge of the divine Fusang Tree, even the golden crows that lived on the Fusang Tree were awakened by him every day before they arose from the east.

It could be said he is the god of the earth’s revival; without him, the earth would lack vibrancy.

He is often depicted as a cowherd boy riding an ox, with double buns on his head and a willow whip in his hand picked from the divine Fusang Tree, thus also called Mang Tong.

Looking at the divine phantom behind Chen Jie, although it wasn’t clear, and his face couldn’t be made out, the willow whip in his hands indeed shimmered with brilliance.

And judging by the figure, he should be quite young, riding on the back of an old ox.

Indeed, it was Spring God Ju Mang.

And the only technique in the world that could display the image of Ju Mang was the Valley Guardian Divine Skill of the Chang Chun Valley in ancient times, derived from the “Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique,” the Spring Word Technique of the Chang Chun Skill, which was one of the Huaxia Three Divine Skills.

The Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique, it was once the technique of Shennong.

It could communicate with the four great deities governing the four seasons and the twenty-four solar terms.

Possessing this Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique in ancient times meant you had received the transmission of the Human Emperor; according to the doctrine of the Heavenly Mandate, this meant that you were meant by fate to compete for the world.

Of course, the Xuanyuan Heart Method of Emperor Xuanyuan and the Jiuli Demon Technique of Chiyou held similar symbolic significance.

And Shennong, Xuanyuan, and Chiyou were all once bearers of the Heavenly Mandate, all capable of contesting for dominion over the world.

Shennong oversaw the agriculture for the people, responsible for their food and clothing; hence he was called the god of agriculture, and since Huaxia had always been an agrarian society, although he never ruled as the supreme lord, he was still called the Emperor and honored as Emperor Yan.

The descendants of Huaxia were also known as the descendants of Yanhuang, with the status of Emperor Yan preceding the Yellow Emperor, showing the respect for his position.

Next came Emperor Xuanyuan, who oversaw military affairs, and Chiyou, who embodied the spirit of rebellion.

These three were the ancestors of Yanhuang; this included Chiyou because, after his defeat, the Jiuli Clan under Chiyou submitted to the Yellow Emperor.

The Han people were of a unified ethnicity, blending the bloodlines of ancient lineages.

The “Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique,” the “Xuanyuan Heart Method,” and the “Jiuli Demon Technique,” three techniques with the attribute of the Heavenly Mandate, once the Six Kingdoms were united and all came under Qin, were concealed by the Ancestor Dragon.

They were even deemed forbidden techniques.

The Emperor of Qin would allow no one besides himself to be revered, how could he permit others who practiced these three martial arts to have the capacity to contest the world?

This was something the Emperor of Qin would never allow.

Though he forbade them, these three techniques had long been passed down and had already been dispersed among the common folk, collected by the nobles of the time.

Take, for example, the leading anti-Qin figure, Overlord Xiang Yu.

Xiang Yu, a noble of the Chu State, located in the south, and the Southern Territory was where the Jiuli Clan settled after being driven away following the defeat of Chiyou by the Yellow Emperor.

Consequently, many descendants of Chiyou remained in this area, and Chiyou’s Jiuli Demon Technique continued to be circulated among the Chu nobility; later, when the Ancestor Dragon unified the Six Kingdoms, the Xiang Family fired the first shot in the Anti-Qin uprising.

And the sweeping Overlord Xiang Yu was a successor of the Jiuli Demon Technique.

With the strength to uplift mountains and the presence to overshadow the world, he rampaged across the battlefield like Chiyou of old.

After Xiang Yu defeated Qin, sadly he too was defeated by Liu Bang, who some suspected had learned the “Xuanyuan Heart Method,” although Liu Bang never admitted it, so it’s impossible to verify.

It’s merely hearsay that Ancestor Gao had great power, excelled in swordsmanship, and once killed a great demon, the White Snake, with a single stroke of his sword; his martial power was indeed formidable.

So, if someone said Liu Bang knew no martial arts, that’d be hard to believe; after all, he was a veteran of charging into enemy formations, but to claim he achieved Great Success in the “Xuanyuan Heart Method,” rivaling Xiang Yu, that would be nonsensical.

However, after Ancestor Gao’s accession to the throne, he continued the law of Qin and severely restricted the Three Divine Skills of the Human Emperor.

Because these could potentially threaten imperial power.

Subsequently, every Emperor who seized the world was said to be assisted by divine techniques, but as soon as they ascended the throne, they immediately began banning the three Divine Skills.

Therefore, any sect or family that practiced these three Divine Skills almost guaranteed their own annihilation if discovered, so continued for a thousand years.

Until Zhao Song.

Ancestor Song of the Great Song Dynasty, once of lowly birth, by chance obtained the “Xuanyuan Heart Method,” which fostered his ambition. His lord, Chai Rong, tragically died young, and taking advantage of the orphan and widow, he usurped the throne and established Great Song.

After the founding of the nation, due to the irregularity of his ascension, Ancestor Song even more strongly suppressed martial artists. On the court, scholars were exalted over martial artists; outside the court, he oppressed Jianghu, forbidding Jianghu individuals from practicing martial arts, especially the original three Human Emperor Martial Arts.

Any traces found would be crushed, and people in Jianghu lived in constant fear.

And the Zhao Song Imperial Family was resolute in executing this; civilians were strictly forbidden from practicing these three martial arts.

If discovered, the lighter punishment was to execute the practitioner; the more severe was to exterminate the entire family.

Chang Chun Valley was reported under such circumstances; the Song Dynasty itself was already in jeopardy, yet the court still issued the order to annihilate it. The treacherous Jia Shidao, allied with the Four Great Sects at the time, together exterminated Chang Chun Valley.
