Why are you here?
"I came when I wanted to."
You shouldn't have come!
"But I still came."
In Tianshui City, there is a restaurant called "Ten-Story Building".
At this moment, two young people were sitting in the lobby on the first floor.
There were other onlookers in the restaurant, but they all held their breath and remained quiet.
Because the two people downstairs were already well-known to everyone.
The two were none other than the undisputed top two on the Fish and Dragon Ranking in the current Zhou Tian Realm.
The man in green robes carrying a sword is Su Muzhe, the amorous swordsman who ranks first on the Fish and Dragon List.
The man in black robes wielding a sword is Kou Huai'an, ranked second on the Fish and Dragon List, known as the Asura Blade.
The two are also the only two Cave Heaven Realm martial artists under the age of thirty in the current Zhou Tian Realm.
The Zhou Tian Realm of today is no longer the Zhou Tian Realm of a thousand years ago.
A thousand years ago, the martial arts of the Zhou Tian Realm had ten ranks.
From the first grade of body tempering to the tenth grade of Dharma image, one ascends to higher levels in turn.
Those who cannot be measured by realms are called invincible in the human world.
Of course, that was only a concept from a thousand years ago, which cannot be fully measured.
Not long after the day when the two suns shone together, a divine being appeared in the heavens and transmitted the Dharma.
Previously, Zhou Tianjie was invincible among mortals, or more accurately, he was at the Dharma Body realm.
Above the Dharma Body lies the Cave Heaven Realm.
Above the grotto-heaven, there are three other realms: the Purple Mansion, the Jade Pool, and the Heavenly Palace.
However, to this day, there are only a handful of people in the entire Zhou Tian Realm who possess the Yaochi Realm.
As for the Heavenly Palace Realm, not only is it absent in the Zhou Tian Realm, but other worlds have also not heard of any martial artists or cultivators of other systems equivalent to this realm.
Compared to a thousand years ago, the Zhou Tian Realm has expanded many times over.
The rules of heaven and earth have naturally changed.
A martial artist with the Dharma Body can no longer live forever.
Five hundred years is the lifespan limit for martial artists at this level.
The martial artists of the celestial realm can live for a thousand years.
A thousand years ago, an eighth-rank Sky-Soaring Martial Artist could traverse thirty miles of air by swallowing a mouthful of true qi.
Now, under the current Dharma body, at most one can only use techniques to float on water.
To soar through the air, one must first reach the Dharma Body Realm.
After all, even those at the Dharma Body Realm have very short flight distances.
......
"You should know that they all deserve to die!"
Su Muzhe said with a serious expression.
"I know, but according to the rules, it's not your turn to kill them!"
Kou Huai'an agreed with Su Muzhe's words, but did not approve of his actions.
"In today's world, heroes are rising up in all states like bamboo shoots after a spring rain."
Even the Great Zhou royal family couldn't rule the world, so why should you adhere to the Martial Arts Alliance's unrealistic rules?
Su Muzhe couldn't understand why there would be such a pedantic person as Kou Huai'an.
Managing martial artists with rules and regulations might have been possible a thousand years ago.
But now, not to mention the Zhou Tian Realm itself, countless powerful enemies surround it from the outside. What can restrain the martial artists of the world?
"One day, I will rebuild the glory of the Martial Arts Alliance!"
Kou Huai'an said with certainty.
"No one is good for a thousand days, and no flower blooms for a hundred days."
Did you know that this place was called Linshan City a thousand years ago?
Back then, this place was still part of the Central Plains!
The world has changed long ago, and the rules have changed long ago.
I don't want to kill you, do you understand?
Su Muzhe's words were filled with boundless confidence.
If it were an enemy, he could kill Kou Huai'an, but at the cost of serious injury.
He wasn't afraid of getting hurt, but rather he didn't want to lose this friend.
We met in the world of martial arts, and together we will travel thousands of miles.
He wouldn't be willing to risk his life for a few scumbags.
I should have been cleaner.
That way, there won't be any loose ends.
Kou Huai'an didn't say anything more, but just quietly looked at Su Muzhe.
"Enough, enough. If we're going to fight, can we at least have one last drink together?"
Su Muzhe said helplessly.
"Can!"
Kou Huai'an nodded.
Inside the ten-story building, the waiter began serving wine.
"Waiter, cut ten catties of top-quality monster meat!"
Su Muzhe casually tossed out a few spirit stones.
Although gold and silver still circulate in the world today, the mainstream currency has long since become this stone, which is full of spiritual energy.
Whether they are martial artists or demonic beasts, they can all use this kind of stone to cultivate.
"Please wait a moment, sir!"
The waiter caught the broken spirit stone and shouted towards the back of the cabinet, "Ten catties of demon beast meat."
The reason why Shichonglou became the best restaurant in Tianshui City lies in the flesh of demonic beasts.
Although the world is full of ferocious monsters, as long as there is profit, there will never be a shortage of fierce people.
Of course, monster meat is not unique to the Ten-Story Tower.
Of the ten restaurants in Tianshui City, eight sell monster meat.
But unlike other places, the monster meat at Shichonglou is fresh and of high quality.
Other restaurants had tried to steal from them, but after a group of people died, no one dared to do it again.
......
After eating ten catties of demon beast meat, Su Muzhe ordered another ten catties.
He really didn't want to fight Kou Huai'an unless absolutely necessary.
His only hope now is that his plea for help will bring in martial artists from the Tianshui Palace.
As long as a senior from Tianshui Palace is willing to mediate, even a stubborn person like Kou Huai'an will have to give them face.
Everyone knows that the first Palace Master of Tianshui Palace was the first nominal leader of the Martial Arts Alliance.
Her name has long been a legend in the Zhou Tian Realm.
She built the Tianshui Palace at Tianshui Lake to seal the world rift left by the simultaneous appearance of two suns in the past.
......
Life is so short, only a few autumns pass by.
We won't stop until we're drunk.
My beauty in the east
The Yellow River flows to the west...
In a small house somewhere in Tianshui City, there is a bamboo chair.
A man was lying on the chair. He looked to be in his early twenties, but his temples were already streaked with gray.
He hummed a little tune as he gently tapped the armrest of the bamboo chair.
On the table beside him were a plate of fried peanuts and a pot of wine.
A pot of wine, a plate of peanuts—that's how a day goes by.
Just as the man was humming a tune, there was a knock on the door.
"Is Master Fan here? It's me, Xiao Sun!"
The person knocking on the door looked to be in his forties or fifties, and his brocade robe couldn't hide his round figure.
Sun Jing'an was in a hurry, but he didn't dare to knock too loudly.
This Mr. Fan is not only his business partner, but also an unfathomable and mysterious senior.
Ten years ago, it was because he met Shi Chonglou that he was able to soar to great heights.
It was because of him that those who coveted the ten-story building gave up their ambitions.
If Su Muzhe hadn't already been eating for three days and three nights, the meat in Shichonglou's storeroom wouldn't have run out.
The problem is that Su Muzhe wants to keep eating, so he has no choice but to beg this powerful figure for help.
"Get to the point!"
A concise voice came from the courtyard, and Sun Jing'an quickly recounted how the guests had eaten meat for three days and three nights.
"Have your men wait at the usual spot, I'll be right back!"
"Thank you, Master Fan! Thank you, Master Fan!"
Sun Jing'an bowed three times before leaving, feeling relieved.
......
Tianshui Lake, though called a lake, is actually vast and boundless, in no way inferior to the former East China Sea.
Li Fan knew this because he had been submerged in the lake for nearly a thousand years.
Of course, that was also the most peaceful millennium of his life.
Do not get involved in cause and effect, and do not concern yourself with worldly affairs.
It sank to the bottom of the river and lay there silently.
Of course, this is just talk.
After all, being able to move around is always better than being like a withered stone, dormant.
