Martial Venerable Expert?
"Ding... Host, the Myriad Realms Shuttle Door is something you deserve."
The System enthusiastically explained, "This door is worth one billion Gold Yuan Points, and we can currently offer a 10% discount. With this door, you can travel to various planes, such as the Primordial World, the Journey to the West World, the Legend of the White Snake World..."
Upon hearing the System's words, Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow and said in a calm tone, "Traveling between dimensions... can I choose a specific dimension, or is it random?"
"That's... fine."
The System's tone suddenly became hesitant.
"It will be all right?"
Zhou Chen frowned and asked, "What does this mean?"
"Host, please calm down, here's the thing."
The System said in an elusive tone, "If the host wants to choose a specific plane, each traversal will cost 300 million Gold Yuan Points; if traversing randomly, it will only cost 100 million Gold Yuan Points."
Zhou Chen: "..."
After a moment of silence, Zhou Chen said with a cold face, "Then let's do it randomly."
He now has one billion Gold Yuan Points. One portal alone costs nine hundred million, leaving him with one hundred million Gold Yuan Points, which he can only use randomly.
"Ding... Received, processing."
"Ding... Nine hundred million Gold Yuan Points have been spent to successfully exchange for the Myriad Realms Shuttle Door."
"Ding... One hundred million Gold Yuan Points have been spent to randomly select a plane..."
"Ding... Extracting a plane, the Azure World."
"Ding... This world is composed of the prime material plane Azure Star, and numerous planets, satellites, and subspace within the star system. It belongs to the [Science Fiction and Martial Dao] plane."
"Ding... There is no time limit for using the portal; the host can travel through it at any time."
Upon hearing these System notifications, Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "System, you may leave now."
"Yes, ma'am."
The System happily logged off.
"Science Fiction and Martial Dao dimension..."
Zhou Chen thought to himself, according to the System's description, this Azure Star seems to be a world that combines modern technology with fantasy martial arts, and like Douluo Star, it is a planetary plane.
Moreover, this Azure Star should be located within a star system. I wonder if the intelligent life on this planet has developed spaceships.
Thinking of this, Zhou Chen stood up and clapped his hands.
The next second, a dark figure stepped out from the corner of the Imperial Study, knelt on one knee, and respectfully said, "Greetings, Your Highness."
This dark figure was none other than Xiao Chenyu, the commander of the Tian Ji Guard.
Even though he had become a top-tier expert at the Title Douluo level, Xiao Chenyu remained loyal to Zhou Chen.
"Old Xiao, mobilize your men and inform my wives to come to Heaven Dou City as soon as possible."
Zhou Chen said calmly.
"Yes, ma'am."
After receiving the order, Xiao Chenyu immediately concealed himself...
It was late at night, and the bright moon hung high in the sky.
As Zhou Chen and Xue Ke's sleeping quarters, this place was originally very quiet. The maids who passed by were all careful, afraid of disturbing His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Prince's sleep.
But tonight, a clear shout broke the silence, mixed with a sob!
"My lord, what is that Azure Star? I've never heard of it. Waaah, our children are still so young, and you have so many wives..."
Xue Ke nestled in Zhou Chen's arms, sobbing softly, and soon soaked his shirt.
Seeing Xue Ke's pitiful appearance, Zhou Chen raised his hand and wiped away the tears on her pretty face, somewhat bewildered.
Your husband is just going to a new dimension to loot some gold; he'll be back soon. Is it really necessary to make such a fuss?
"If love between two people is destined to last, why should they be together every day and night? My husband is just going to take a stroll on that Azure Star; he will be back soon."
"Snort!"
Xue Ke suddenly stopped crying. She raised her head, looked at Zhou Chen, and said angrily, "What do you mean by 'day and night'? You said that to that fox Hu Liena too, didn't you!"
"This..."
Zhou Chen was speechless after Xue Ke's words, since he had indeed said those words to Hu Liena when he was six years old.
But how did Xue Ke find out?
Did Hu Liena brag to Xue Ke during their casual conversation?
After silently complaining for a while, Zhou Chen could only try to persuade his wife with kind words and use a whole set of methods to please her before finally calming down Xue Ke, this resentful woman confined to her chambers.
However, at that moment, a silver spatial gate appeared in the bedroom, and Yu Tianmeng's figure flashed out.
"Husband, why did you call us here?"
Yu Tianmeng yawned, clearly having just woken up from a dream.
Since ascending to godhood, Yu Tianmeng has often spent a lot of time cultivating, and her cultivation method is very simple: sleeping.
Therefore, when she was woken up by her maid and learned that her husband had summoned them to the capital, she immediately became grumpy and smashed the vases by her bedside.
After she calmed down, she opened a spatial portal and went directly into Xue Ke's bedroom.
"Tian Meng, don't be angry, it's like this..."
Seeing Yu Tianmeng's angry expression, Zhou Chen quickly stood up, walked to her side, put his arm around her slender waist, and told her about his plan to go to the new plane, Azure Star.
"Is there not enough gold on Douluo Star? Is that why you've set your sights on a new dimension?"
Yu Tianmeng glanced at her husband and said indifferently.
"Madam is indeed incredibly resourceful."
Zhou Chen offered a small compliment, and Yu Tianmeng immediately rolled her eyes in response.
"I'm going with you to Azure Star this time."
Yu Tianmeng raised her snow-white, delicate chin and said arrogantly.
"This... won't work."
Zhou Chen did not agree because the Myriad Realms Shuttle Door calculates Gold Yuan Points based on the number of people.
In other words, if Yu Tianmeng were to go along, it would cost an additional 100 million Gold Yuan Points.
"Hmph, you big bad wolf, you don't want me to go because you don't want me to interfere with your flirting, right?"
Yu Tianmeng pouted, her jealousy flaring up.
Although Xue Ke didn't say anything, the jealousy in her eyes was quite intense...
Traveling to a new plane seems easy, but Zhou Chen is the Prince of the Tiandou Empire, the Nation Protecting Prince. Even if he just stomped his foot, it would be enough to cause a massive earthquake throughout the Tiandou Empire, let alone his actual journey.
Therefore, all parties are paying attention, and many Soul Master families and nobles have already begun to plan for this.
Meanwhile, Zhou Chen's wives also gathered in Heaven Dou City.
Even Xu Youyou, who was far away in Star Luo City, Zhang Luo Shen, the king of the Silves Kingdom, and Bo Saixi, the Sea God of Sea God Island, all rushed to Heaven Dou City.
At this moment, under a blue sky and white clouds, atop a tall tower within the Tiandou Imperial City, Zhou Chen stood leisurely, admiring the magnificent scenery from his vantage point.
Xue Ke, Zhi Xin, Yu Tianmeng, Tang Yuehua Rongrong, Dugu Yan Ning Rongrong, Ye Lingling, Shui Binger, Liu Erlong, Xu Youyou, Zhang Luo Shen, and others stood there, each one absent-minded, wiping away tears.
Beside them were children such as Little Zhou Chen, Xuegao, Zhou Lingxin, Zhou Lingyu, Zhou Lingyue, and Zhou Lingyin.
"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy..."
The children called him "Dad" so sweetly that Zhou Chen was reluctant to leave.
However, after thinking it over, Zhou Chen hardened his heart and waved his hand, and a door frame made of White Marble appeared on the tower.
This portal of light is the Myriad Realms Shuttle Door.
Then, Zhou Chen turned around and looked at his wives, saying, "Tian Meng, Xue Ke, Rong Rong, Yan Zi, Youyou, Ling Ling, Moonlight, Luo Shen... take good care of the children and look after the Tiandou Empire. I will be back soon."
After receiving a response from Yu Tianmeng and the others, Zhou Chen waved to them, then turned around and decisively stepped into the portal.
The Azure World.
Azure Star, Eastern Luo Continent.
Great Xuan Kingdom.
The Great Xuan Kingdom is one of the major kingdoms in the Eastern Luo Continent, and it also holds considerable influence in the entire Azure Blue World.
The entire Great Xuan Kingdom comprises seventeen states, each with its own capital city. These capital cities govern numerous counties and prefectures, which in turn encompass vast territories, a large population, a thriving martial arts community, and a significant presence in the field of scientific research.
Azure Xuan Province, the prefectural city.
Thunder Sword Sect Dojo.
As a once glorious martial arts sect in Cangxuan Prefecture City, the Thunder Sword Sect occupies a vast area, built against the mountain, with houses stretching as far as the eye can see. The entire Thundercloud Mountain Range is merely the sect's back garden.
Of course, that was in the past.
Today, only one official member remains of the Thunder Sword Sect: Yun Xin Yue, the seventeen-year-old child of the former sect leader.
The vast territory once occupied by the sect has been reduced to just two mountain peaks and a dozen or so rooms.
These plots of land are enough for Yun Xin Yue and some of her servants and guards to live in.
However, recalling the grand scale of the Thunder Sword Sect back then, and the lively scene of countless disciples practicing martial arts together, Yun Xin Yue felt as if it were yesterday, and a sense of loneliness suddenly filled her heart.
She was determined to revive the Thunder Sword Sect, but she was outnumbered and outmatched. The power and wealth left to her by her late father were enough to protect her safety and ensure her a life of wealth and honor.
However, for a sect, this amount of power and wealth is simply a drop in the ocean.
"Call..."
With a long sigh, Yun Xin Yue, who was meditating cross-legged in the training room, opened her eyes, a flash of lightning in them.
She is currently cultivating the Golden Cloud Thunderous Movement Art, a technique that only the sect leader's lineage can access within the Thunder Sword Sect.
It is important to know that the cultivation techniques in the Azure Blue World are divided into three categories, from low to high: Forms, Techniques, and Dao.
For ordinary people without a privileged background, it is extremely difficult to enter the martial arts world, which values talent, family background, influence, and resources.
First of all, most ordinary people, because they have no power or background, can only practice some widely circulated, rudimentary Martial Form their whole lives.
Even if ordinary people have money, at most they can only spend a lot of wealth to obtain some low-level Martial Art from some declining martial arts families and sects.
Because truly advanced Martial Art, and even Martial Dao Technique that can mobilize the power of heaven and earth, are all in the hands of martial arts sects, aristocratic families, and nobles.
Even if an ordinary person obtains Martial Dao Technique, it's like a child carrying gold in a marketplace—easily snatched away or even killed by wealthy and powerful families.
Although the Azure Blue World has entered the technological age, it is still a world where the strong are respected, only disguised by a layer of civilization.
The Golden Cloud Thunderous Movement Art that Yun Xin Yue has mastered is the most profound Martial Dao Technique among cultivation techniques.
Martial Dao Technique are also divided into grades, from low to high, into three levels: Sect Master, Venerable, and Saint.
The Thunder Sword Sect's Golden Cloud Thunderous Movement Art is a Venerable-level martial art.
Looking across the entire Azure Blue World, the Venerable Rank martial arts can be considered exceptionally powerful.
If most ordinary people could cultivate Martial Dao Technique of this rank, becoming a martial arts master would be a piece of cake; it would only be a matter of time.
Yun Xin Yue's talent for cultivation is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people due to the inheritance of martial arts genes from generation to generation.
In fact, her talent for cultivation is among the best in the entire Great Xuan Kingdom, and even in the entire Eastern Luo Continent.
Now, she has become a peak Great Martial Master. Her next aspiration is to break through to the Martial Grandmaster Sect realm and become Martial Dao Grandmaster who is famous throughout the Great Xuan Kingdom.
In the Azure Blue World, there are no Soul Master, nor do they cultivate Battle Qi; instead, they cultivate Martial Arts.
Martial arts realms, from lowest to highest, are divided into Body Refinement, Qi Refinement, Martial Master, Great Martial Master, Martial Grandmaster, Martial Venerable, and Martial Saint.
The path of martial arts begins with Body Refinement; therefore, the first realm of martial arts is the Body Refinement Realm.
When one has mastered Body Refinement, one can generate a sense of Qi within the dantian of the body; this is the Qi Refining Realm.
When one achieves mastery of Qi Refining, true Qi transforms into true essence, which is the realm of a Martial Master.
At the Martial Master level, one can imbue their true essence into their weapon, making it as powerful as a laser sword and even capable of shattering steel.
Such practitioners can open martial arts schools and teach students martial arts as long as Martial Dao Guild.
This is why this level of skill is called a martial arts master.
Once you reach the peak of the Martial Master level, you can attempt to break through to the Great Martial Master.
Great Martial Master's true essence transforms into Gang Qi Gang Qi, which can form a defensive shield around Great Martial Master body that ordinary firearms simply cannot penetrate.
Only anti-material sniper rifles, such as anti-tank rifles, can penetrate such a protective Gang Qi.
Yun Xin Yue was at the level of Great Martial Master.
This is also why she was able to maintain the Thunder Sword Sect.
According to the rules of the Martial Dao Guild, a martial arts master must be present to oversee the establishment of a martial arts school.
If a martial arts school loses its martial arts instructors, it will be closed by the Martial Dao Guild.
Martial arts sects are a higher level of cultivator organization than martial arts schools. They must have Great Martial Master in charge to be established.
After Yun Xin Yue's father, the previous sect leader of the Thunder Sword Sect, Great Martial Master Yun Shanyue, passed away, the disciples in the sect dispersed one after another, leaving only her, along with some servants and guards from the Yun Family.
Among these servants and guards, the strongest was only a martial arts master.
Fortunately, her father had some reliable old friends, including one who was Great Martial Master and had been stationed in the Thunder Sword Sect for a long time.
It wasn't until Yun Xin Yue broke through to the Great Martial Master that the old friend left the Thunder Sword Sect.
This old friend is none other than Wen Fengxiang, the current Righteous Qi Sect Azure Xuan Province.
Wen Fengxiang has been in charge of the Thunder Sword Sect for many years without accepting a single penny of reward. Such an upright person is admired by the entire Azure Xuan Province.
The cultivation techniques of the Righteous Qi Sect disciples are based on righteous energy, which emphasizes uprightness and integrity.
Wen Fengxiang's act of helping his old friend and then taking charge of the Thunder Sword Sect without accepting any reward perfectly aligns with the principles of righteousness.
Therefore, after leaving the Thunder Sword Sect, Wen Fengxiang took the opportunity to break through to the realm of Martial Dao Grandmaster.
