Time passed little by little, the sun set and the moon rose.
The disciples of Qingyun Sect discussed among themselves as they watched Zhang Mu meditating at the front gate, but none of them dared to go forward and disturb him.
If they are practicing their cultivation, it might be inappropriate to approach them rashly.
Now, almost everyone in the Qingyun Sect admires Zhang Mu greatly; it is an honor to be in the same sect as such a genius.
When you're out and about, as long as you show the Qingyun Sect's token, who won't give you face? This is all thanks to Zhang Mu.
Zhang Mu slowly opened his eyes: "Strange, it's clearly time, why haven't I seen a single person?"
He was very puzzled, but he waited for several more hours, unwilling to give up.
"Congratulations to the reincarnated one for successfully defying fate! Your score has increased, and rewards will be settled after returning to the main world!"
Zhang Mu remained silent, seemingly realizing something: "It seems that my reputation was too great, which indirectly affected the outcome, causing those people to dare not cause trouble again."
"I have to say it's interesting, and it gave me a new perspective."
He smiled. Now that he had survived both ordeals, the reward upon his return would surely be a great one.
"Now I just need to increase my contribution as much as possible. I'm only eighteen years old, and I have a long time to work on it."
Zhang Mu's eyes lit up, feeling that he could make great progress in conquering this world.
After twenty years of reincarnation, Zhang Mu finally reached the Celestial Realm. He had learned almost all the martial arts of his own country, and began to travel to other countries.
There are four major countries and many smaller countries in this world.
Zhang Mu's country is called Yuanwu Kingdom, which is one of the four major powers.
He began to "visit" martial arts sects in other countries one by one, a move that aroused dissatisfaction among martial arts practitioners in those countries.
Those who were defeated felt they had lost face, so they began to unite.
As Zhang Mu challenges more and more sects, the martial arts world begins to stir.
Martial arts practitioners from other countries formed an alliance to besiege Zhang Mu alone, but the martial arts practitioners of Yuanwu Kingdom naturally wouldn't allow people from other countries to bully Zhang Mu like that.
They also began sending people to support Zhang Mu.
The fuse was lit.
What began as a campaign by various countries to suppress Zhang Mu has escalated into a martial arts conflict.
In the end, neither side would admit defeat.
The turmoil in the martial arts world also began to affect the decisions made by the imperial court.
Although the imperial court and the martial arts world are two separate entities, no monarch wants their country's martial arts practitioners to be inferior to those of other countries, as this would be a blatant slap in the face.
In the end, the involvement of national powers pushed this struggle to a new level.
Zhang Mu was bewildered by the situation that had spiraled out of control. "I was just having a friendly spar, why are you getting so worked up?"
In fact, there have been frictions between countries over the years, and no new leader has emerged in the martial arts world for a long time.
Everyone wants to sit in that high position.
Zhang Mu's appearance merely ignited this conflict prematurely; even without him, this conflict would have occurred sooner or later.
Twenty-five years after his reincarnation, the years of struggle finally reached a fever pitch, and various countries began to wage war.
They all claimed to be ending the conflict, but secretly they all wanted to annex the territories of other countries.
This plunged the world into chaos.
As if they had agreed beforehand, the four major powers each refrained from interfering with each other and began to annex numerous smaller countries from their respective territories.
Faced with the overwhelming military power of major powers, many small countries either submit or perish!
Beyond the open conflicts between nations, a bloody storm was also brewing in the martial arts world.
Knowing he would be the first to be affected, Zhang Mu quickly moved his parents to a secluded place to live under assumed names.
"Xiao Mu...aren't you going to stay here with us and lay low for a while?"
Su Yun, her face full of worry, held Zhang Mu's hand and pleaded with him.
“Alas… Mother, this matter started because of me, so I should be the one to end it all. Now, with war raging, the people are not at peace, and so many innocent families have been dragged into it, resulting in their destruction and death.”
Zhang Mu sighed, "I never expected things to turn out this way."
Now his strength has reached the peak of the Celestial Realm, but when facing tens of thousands of experts, he will eventually run out of strength.
It can only be said that the extraordinary power of this world is still too low. With his current abilities, he is still unable to break through the world's limitations and reach a higher level. It always feels like something is missing.
He didn't want Su Yun and Zhang Lin to lose their lives because of him, and he was also prepared to sever ties with the Qingyun Sect.
Faced with Zhang Mu's rejection, Su Yun sobbed in Zhang Lin's arms, her voice trembling with pain.
She knew that her son might encounter misfortune on this trip, which is why she begged Zhang Mu to stay, which was also a selfish wish of hers as a mother.
With red eyes, Zhang Lin said to Zhang Mu, "Go, this is not your fault. Human desires are inevitable, and countries have been blinded by interests. Do you remember the question you asked us when you were three years old?"
Zhang Mu was taken aback and his thoughts returned.
Zhang Lin slowly explained: "Can studying bring peace to the world? Can studying defend the country?"
"Now that you've embarked on a different path, can you use force to bring peace to the world? Can you use force to defend your family and country?"
Zhang Mu suddenly realized that what he had just made up as an excuse back then was actually a lie, and he never expected it to be brought up again.
His eyes gradually brightened, and he began to break through the barrier that had bound him for so many years. He knew what he was lacking.
What's lacking is that unwavering martial spirit! That invincible spirit that makes one invincible in the world!
Zhang Mu laughed, a very happy laugh: "I can bring peace to the world with my martial arts! I can defend my country with my martial arts! A young man should have lofty ambitions, soaring high in the vast sky!"
Bang!
With his bold words and grand gestures, Zhang Mu's aura surged infinitely, quickly exceeding the world's carrying capacity.
After saying goodbye to his parents, Zhang Mu embarked on his journey alone.
Their overwhelming strength caused all those who came looking for trouble to lose their lives.
Thirty-five years after his reincarnation, Zhang Mu began to combine the martial arts of all the sects in this world to create a new martial arts technique.
With the help of the new martial arts technique, his strength began to soar once again.
He didn't even know what level he was at, but the space around him trembled when he slightly threw a punch.
Faced with Zhang Mu's invincible demeanor, people in the martial arts world began to feel terrified.
They all stopped what they were doing and began to direct their anger at Zhang Mu.
Zhang Mu made no attempt to hide, and even boasted that a great battle would take place in the Hidden Emperor Valley in three days, and that all those who wanted to take his life would come here! He would face them all alone!
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Mu sat cross-legged in the middle of the valley, waiting patiently.
Many people came here, bringing together almost all the forces in the world except for the Qingyun Sect.
"Demon! Today is your death day!"
The crowd clamored, saying that it was no exaggeration to call Zhang Mu a demon, as no fewer than 100,000 people had died at his hands over the years for causing trouble.
His hands were covered in blood.
"Hahaha! What is there to fear! Today, either you will submit, or I will die!"
Zhang Mu laughed loudly.
Zhang Mu wouldn't hesitate to kill them; these people are not kind.
"Kill! He's only one man after all, and eventually he'll run out of strength. We'll use a war of attrition to slowly wear him down!"
The various factions conspired and began sending people to attack.
P.S.: I'm numb, the data is getting colder and colder, brothers, give me some gifts! Even free gifts are appreciated, I can't take it anymore! ??o·(? ??????????? )?o·?
