Chapter 306: Chapter 138: Divine Skill Third Layer, Taiping Duke’s Former Subordinates

Chen Chengbi placed his hands on Li Guanyi’s shoulders, his eyes wide with excitement, "You have the Purple Energy, and I don’t even have it! Let me tell you, among the Chen Country Royal Family, many rare and powerful Martial Arts require this to be cultivated!"

"I will teach you, learn it quickly!"

"Once you’ve learned it, come play with me."

The old man was overjoyed.

Li Guanyi was dumbfounded, and he suddenly started to laugh, laughing so freely and comfortably that he ended up sitting on the ground, clutching his stomach in pain, nearly crying from laughter.

Chen Country was the vortex of the world.

Jiangzhou was a miniature of this chaotic world.

He had seen many people: Emperor Chen, who was deeply cunning and adept in the ways of power; Elder Xue, full of bravado; Zu Wenyuan, who had outwitted the top ten assassins; the young and arrogant Breaking Army; the calm Mr. Wang. But none were as pure and comforting in companionship.

Once the old man confirmed the presence of Purple Energy, after the initial displeasure, he became happy.

Because with Purple Energy, one could practice many special Martial Arts and fight together.

His heart harbored no cunning.

Li Guanyi wiped the tears of laughter from his eyes and exclaimed loudly, "Good!"

He said, "Come on, let’s play!"

Suddenly, he rose, took a half step forward, clenched his right fist, and then stepped forward.

His Jin Qi was heavy and overwhelmingly powerful.

[Mountain Shattering]!

Reciprocity requires due actions.

The Absolute Skill of Duke Chen was displayed; Chen Chengbi, overjoyed, also countered with a gentle Jin Qi, "Excellent, excellent, come, let’s fight!"

After several exchanges, Chen Chengbi recognized that it was one of their family’s Absolute Skills, and more robust and complete than the descriptions in the scrolls, so he was delighted and cheered, "Very good, very good!"

"Look closely, kid; this is the ’Six Void Four Union Divine Skill.’ According to the original method, it involves the circulation and transformation of Inner Qi, controlling other Inner Qi. But once the Purple Energy is introduced, it changes everything."

"Consider my True Qi as the ruler, and other Cultivation Technique Inner Qi as the subjects."

"Like Beichen, which holds its position while other stars revolve around it."

"If there were a sage king who established his capital and set his pole, with hosts offering gemstones, all cunning heroes would inevitably turn and serve him. Thus, operating Qi in this fashion pulls everything along—something that not just involves the six Qi but extends to the 36 heavenly tiers and even to infinity, all under control!"

"With different Qi circulating, with Purple Energy as the supreme, vast and noble beyond description."

The old man’s body swayed unpredictably, "With such capacities, it can no longer be called the ’Six Void Four Union Divine Skill.’ This technique was created by our ancestor Duke Chen and perfected by successive emperors, and its name should adhere to the ancestor’s command!"

"It’s called—[Sweeping the Six Unions, Supporting the Four Quarters]!"

Li Guanyi raised his hand, a wisp of Purple Energy initiated a change in the Qi within his body, becoming even purer, and the old man, seeing Li Guanyi’s progress in Martial Arts, felt a joyous sensation like watching his own planted plum trees grow, and he was exceedingly pleased.

Eventually, they lost track of time, and as the sky began to darken, the old man suddenly shouted.

He raised his hand to his forehead and said:

"Oh no! Oh no oh no!"

"I just got carried away and almost forgot about the important matters. Didn’t I tell you about a bald guy with great strength? I need him to pass on Martial Arts to you."

Li Guanyi asked, "Has that senior agreed?"

Chen Chengbi boastfully responded, "When have I ever failed in doing something?"

"Kid, come early tomorrow, and I, the old man, will take you to find that old guy. Today was fun fighting, but I will go look for a way to cover your Purple Energy. No matter what, exposing it is too dangerous."

"At least, it’s dangerous without sufficient Martial Arts."

The elderly gentleman was rarely this solemn, but he patted Li Guanyi on the shoulder, laughed heartily, and left.

Li Guanyi sighed, looking at the scrolls in front of him; he had flipped through them and became a bit stern after the old man left. Today, after half an hour of reading, he finally gained some insights.

But the first few names made Li Guanyi’s expression darken.

"You Changxie, Huaihua Middle Lang General, skilled in rapid assault tactics, once led three thousand men to capture an enemy city on a snowy night, brave and bold...deceased."

"One night, drank too much and fell into the water and died."

"Weichi Shilun, a Powerful Warrior capable of wielding heavy weapons, held dual iron flails; when confronted by enemies, his attack would shatter their body and spirit...died at the city gates during an assault due to delayed reinforcements while engaging Ying Country."

"Zhuge Qingkong, executed for treason."

Each name had a history of galloping across battlefields, yet all had died within ten years.

Li Guanyi was silent, finally focusing on a name.

"Xue Tianxing—traitor and rebel!"

"At that time, as the City Lord, he closed the city, hosted the Green Gate banquet, and invited all the dignitaries, declaring—"

"’Should the lord be insulted, his subjects die. Aren’t all gentlemen here servants of the Taiping Duke? Now that our Lord is in trouble, it is truly a life-threatening autumn. Even if unsuccessful, it still shows loyalty. Beyond the Green Gate, no death shall occur! The opportunity today should not be hesitated, and any latecomers will be executed!’"

All pledged allegiance and then formed an alliance by sacrificing an animal.

Then they rebelled against Chen, still raising their banners high, adorned with the Qilin pattern.

It said—

Taiping Army!
