Chapter 414: The Enemy at Brahma Tower
"Sir, please listen carefully."
Yang Yuhuan picked up a pipa and began to play. As the beautiful music began, the old man's eyes gradually became unfocused and vacant. He seemed to have lost his soul, becoming dull and lifeless. Sometimes he would laugh foolishly, sometimes he would stiffen up, and saliva would even drip from his mouth.
Diao Chan said in surprise, "Your music is extraordinary; it actually has the effect of disturbing people's minds."
"Hehe, even the King couldn't stop him, let alone a mere Grandmaster."
Yang Yuhuan got up and continued playing around the old man, who swayed and couldn't stand steadily.
When the music ended, he froze completely, motionless, as if his mind had been utterly extinguished.
"All done, sister, let's go home. Don't forget to bring back a gift for the king while we're shopping. The king will definitely love his little sister even more, hehehe."
How could Yang Yuhuan leave with this old man? She was the king's woman, and her body and heart belonged to him. Anyone who dared to lay a finger on her would be killed. If it weren't for the fact that this old man was somewhat useful, she would have smashed his head with her pipa long ago.
When they were young, Yang Yu used a red silk ribbon to drag the old man back to the palace.
Chen Futu happened to return from the workshop and was bewildered to see the two of them bringing back an old man.
Diao Chan offered an explanation, but Chen Futu snorted, "How dare you covet my beloved concubine!"
Yang Yuhuan leaned closer, nestled in his arms, and struck a pose that could bewitch anyone. "Your Majesty," she said, "why don't we interrogate him? Perhaps we can find something out."
"Right on my mind."
Chen Futu sat on the throne, staring gloomily at the old man.
Yang Yuhuan plucked the pipa, and the unconscious old man shivered and suddenly woke up, his eyes still empty.
"Speak, who sent you to kidnap me?" Chen Futu shouted.
The old man immediately replied, "The young master sent me."
"Tell me more about it."
"The young master's name is Yin Jie, the young master of Fanlou. His purpose in coming here is to make the Northern Frontier King submit to Fanlou, otherwise Fanlou will destroy the Northern Frontier King's court."
"Destroy the royal court? Two mere saints, are they courting death?"
Chen Futu was so angry he laughed. It's true that any Tom, Dick, or Harry dares to try and cause trouble. Do they think his sword, the sword of the King of the Northern Frontier, isn't sharp enough?
"The Brahma Tower is a first-rate power in this territory, no weaker than the Ancient Palace and the Tianyang Academy."
"This territory? What does that mean?"
Chen Futu immediately grasped the key point, and Diao Chan and Yang Yuhuan's expressions also became much more serious.
The old man said in a daze, "This territory, including the Great Qian and the surrounding countries, as well as the large area where we are, is called Lizhou. It is a large continent. All the top-tier forces are tied to the fortune of a country behind the scenes. Fanlou wants to tie itself to the Northern Frontier to compete with the Ancient Palace, so it came here specifically."
At this point, Chen Futu suddenly stood up and asked the system, "What are you doing? Isn't this a parallel world of Earth?"
[The system only mentioned that this is a parallel world of Earth, but it didn't say that the territory is the same. Does the host think that the territory of a martial arts plane would be small?]
"In other words, there are many super-powerful forces in this world, and compared to the outside world, the ancient palace is actually nothing. Our dynasties are actually just small countries?"
[Please explore on your own, host. This world is far more mysterious than you imagine, and even saints are not invincible.]
[Task issued: Please establish an unprecedented dynasty, awe the world, and be honored as the First Emperor.]
"This is extremely difficult. If the surrounding countries were just small, insignificant kingdoms, my fierce generals could easily sweep them all away. But now you're telling me that the royal court is just a remote island? To wage a long-distance campaign, ordinary soldiers simply cannot do it, unless the entire army consists of high-level martial arts experts or develops advanced technology."
[Correction to host: This world is not only about technology; it also contains the Dao of Arrays, whose uses are infinitely wondrous.]
[Please keep up the good work, host. If you can become the First Emperor, there will be unexpected benefits.]
"Keep making things up! You want the horse to run but don't feed it? I'm done."
When Chen Futu transmigrated here, his initial intention was to live a carefree life. His plan to destroy the Great Qian Dynasty was not for the benefit of the people, but rather a matter of necessity. He thought that after destroying the Great Qian Dynasty, he could continue to live a life with his beautiful wives and concubines. However, the system caused a major incident.
The system remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.
To motivate the host, the system will grant the host a comprehensive empowerment. The level of transformation the host can achieve depends entirely on the host's comprehension.
[Given that the host has broadened their horizons, the system has corrected the host's understanding of martial arts levels. Please check the detailed information.]
A massive amount of information was poured into my mind.
Chen Futu was stunned for a long time, his eyes wide open. "System, go to hell! You're telling me that only a Saint can reach the fifth realm!"
According to the system, the so-called innate, grandmaster, great grandmaster and saint are just the self-perceptions of the martial arts experts in this region. Because Lizhou is too poor, it cannot come into contact with higher levels of martial arts. It has not been in contact with the more powerful outside world for a long time, so it cannot understand itself. In short, the inheritance has been cut off.
In short, the system has the final say, and Chen Futu, the so-called King of the Northern Frontier, is merely the ruler of a small dynasty in a desolate land.
If we were to rank martial arts realms according to actual levels, they would be: Martial Artist, Martial Master, Martial Grandmaster, Martial King, Martial Emperor, etc.
The fifth realm of a sage is the Martial Emperor, a level where one is a regional overlord, mainly characterized by the ability to separate true qi from the body and possess unparalleled skills.
"Martial Emperor it is. Give me the empowerment later. I need to become stronger, otherwise I won't even know when I'll be swallowed up by a whale."
Chen Futu now has the illusion of a frog jumping out of a well, and also a sense of urgency.
Fortunately, Xiaobai is strong enough that he is not afraid of external threats.
"We've asked enough questions, let's get rid of him."
Chen Futu waved his hand impatiently, and the old man was taken away. Chen Futu then convened a meeting with all the saints under his command.
They were informed of the different levels of martial arts.
The man in green frowned and said, "So, we've been looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. The so-called saint is only at the Martial Emperor level."
Blood Eyes, who had been silent all along, muttered, "King of the Northern Frontier, I really don't know where you got this information from. In fact, the higher-ups of the Ancient Palace want to bind with the national destiny to become stronger and leave Lizhou."
"Hmph, you've hidden your secrets quite well, but it doesn't matter. Ancient palaces or Buddhist towers are ultimately just stepping stones on the road to advancement for my royal court!"
Chen Futu has systematic endorsement, so it's not a lie.
Let alone a martial arts world, what does it matter if it's a celestial world? The Northern Frontier is destined to grow into an emperor-level power.
After everyone left, Chen Futu activated the special empowerment granted by the system.
As the golden light descended from above, Chen Futu's hair stood on end, and a faint dragon's roar erupted from within him. This was the condensation of the dynasty's fortune. His cultivation level soared at a speed visible to the naked eye, reaching the early stage of Martial King, then the peak, and finally the early stage of Martial Emperor. Moreover, his Martial God Body underwent a transformation, and when unfolded, his entire body shone like a small golden sun, with golden light emanating from his pores, and his aura became even more majestic and sacred.
