Drag It Down
Li Fuchan shook off the random thoughts in her mind.
He then turned to look at Wei Xinyun.
At this moment, Wei Xinyun did not recognize him at all, and her eyes were filled with coldness.
"Perfect, let me test what this Hegemonic Art is all about and how it performs in combat."
Without any hesitation, Li Fuchan crouched down and pounced.
Although he lacked Law Power, he had extensive experience in combat and had previously cultivated the "Li Thunder" Dao Lineage, which required the use of lightning in the heavens. Therefore, in order to compensate for his shortcomings, he specifically trained in close-quarters combat skills.
He had no weapon in his hand, yet he was more ferocious than someone wielding a knife.
He slashed at Wei Xinyun's neck, but she tilted her head back to avoid it. His fingertips grazed her chin, leaving a shallow bloodstain.
Wei Xinyun was clearly also taken aback by him. She hadn't expected that an ordinary person could actually hurt her. So instead of retreating, she advanced, and the black light around her suddenly intensified, pressing down on him like a mountain.
The black light was incredibly heavy; even before it reached Li Fuchan, it made her gasp for breath, and her bones creaked faintly.
"What a blatant abuse of power!"
Li Fuchan dodged to the side, the stone bricks beneath his feet swept by the black light and instantly shattered into dust. He rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding the attack, and when he got up, he was already behind Wei Xinyun. His five fingers formed a claw, and he pressed his strength through his fingertips, slamming it hard into her back.
As soon as the palm strike was unleashed, a sudden surge of black light appeared on Wei Xinyun's back.
Li Fuchan felt as if his palm strike had been pressed into a viscous swamp, the force of which was wrapped up layer by layer and vanished in an instant.
Seeing this, he exclaimed with understanding, "So this is Assimilation."
Li Fuchan's attack failed, and Wei Xinyun seized the opportunity.
Black light spread out from her body, pinning him to the spot from all directions.
Li Fuchan struggled, but his limbs and bones were pressed down by the heavy black weight, Immovable.
Even at this moment, his face remained expressionless, but he was secretly calculating in his mind.
"The Hegemonic Art passed down from the Nian Renshang are such that the stronger the momentum, the greater the power, giving the impression that many methods become useless under the overwhelming trend."
However, before he could continue his speculation, a black light shone from Wei Xinyun's hand, which she pressed against his brow. Li Fuchan's eyes lost their life force, and he collapsed completely.
Seeing Li Fuchan fall to the ground, Wei Xinyun frowned. "Where did this person come from? Why did he break into the palace?"
For Wei Xinyun, this person's sudden intrusion was not the most shocking thing. What truly shocked her was that this person was not within her influence. Since she began practicing the Hegemonic Art inherited from the Nian Renshang, more and more people have been Coercion into her influence. When the tide turns, no one can escape.
That's why she was able to easily sell off thirty princes for the Marriage Alliance in exchange for the stability of the Year Kingdom.
Because that's the prevailing trend, and no one can change it.
The sudden appearance of such a ruthless and fierce fighter, who was not under her control, immediately reminded Wei Xinyun of her father, the Emperor.
Of all the people in the palace, only her father, the emperor, possessed the most profound mastery of the Hegemonic Art.
She immediately took Li Fuchan's corpse to see the King of the Year Kingdom and recounted what had happened.
General Wei Xinyun of the King of the Year Kingdom praised her extensively and rewarded her with a large sum of gold and silver to commend her for protecting the Book Collection Pavilion.
His smile was gentle and kind, like that of a loving father who was moved by his daughter's courage but was too restrained by his imperial dignity to show it too much.
He told Wei Xinyun not to take the matter to heart, thus gently easing the minor disturbance.
After seeing Wei Xinyun off, he slowly turned around and looked at the corpse on the ground.
Instead of calling for someone to come in and drag the unidentified corpse out, he stood there with his hands behind his back, a faint black light gradually emanating from his body.
The black light surged like a tide, wave after wave, towards Li Fuchan on the ground, repeatedly washing over her lifeless body. After an unknown amount of time, within the main hall, Li Fuchan's corpse had completely dissolved, leaving not even a trace of her clothing.
Only a broken Spirit Talismans remained on the ground, lying on the gold brick.
The King of the Year Kingdom bent down and picked up the broken talisman, stroking the faded patterns on its surface.
The previously imposed gentleness and kindness, along with the mediocrity and incompetence, vanished completely at this moment, leaving only a deep chill.
"We've finally waited for you again, Celestial Person."
--
Li Fuchan, using his False Body as cover, had already entered the Book Collection Pavilion of the Year Kingdom.
Fortunately, the Book Collection Pavilion of the Nian Pavilion actually contains the cultivation method of the Hegemonic Art passed down by Nian Renshang.
Because even Ancient Arts cannot be used in this Blessed Land, and the Treasure Light is absent, Li Fuchan had no choice but to copy down the cultivation method of that Hegemonic Art.
He then concealed himself and left the palace. As for Wei Xinyun, Li Fuchan had no intention of taking care of her for the time being. Wei Xinyun would wake up on her own when the third Human Reversal occurred.
After all, Wei Xinyun is not in any danger at the moment. Not only has she cultivated the Hegemonic Art, but more importantly, does a princess who can sell more than thirty princes to marry Marriage Alliance rulers need his protection?
After leaving the palace, Li Fuchan casually found a place and began to carefully study the cultivation method of the Hegemonic Art. This Hegemonic Art had no name; it only taught people how to accumulate great power.
The six transformations— Military Formation, Breaking the Vanguard, Coercion, Overwhelming, Borrowing Fortune, Assimilation —are not six methods of defending against the enemy.
Instead, they are six methods for accumulating great momentum.
When the military is well-ordered, it can stabilize the country, punish the unjust, and eliminate falsehood and evil. When the military is poorly ordered, it can bring misfortune, strife, losses, exhaustion of the people, and an atmosphere of killing.
To build up military strength, one must choose between the righteous and the evil.
Wei Xinyun undoubtedly chose the righteous path, while Li Fuchan, given his circumstances, could only choose the less righteous path. Fortunately, he still held the status of a prince, so it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to stir up chaos in the world during this trip for a marriage Marriage Alliance.
Those who "Breaking the Vanguard" not only crush the enemy's army, but also destroy the integrity and moral character of others, ruin the nation's great cause, and accumulate great momentum.
After the Military Formation and the Breaking the Vanguard, comes the Coercion. Only at this stage can the general trend be used to one's advantage, and can the general trend be used to Coercion others into doing the same.
Li Fuchan looked at the Hegemonic Art in his hand, his gaze shifting from initial excitement and fervor to cold calm.
He discovered a problem.
This Hegemonic Art seems to have no upper limit, as if it can endlessly accumulate immense power.
Once he cultivates this Hegemonic Art, with his abilities and current status, it will only take him three years to completely manipulate the power dynamics of this Blessed Land for his own use.
No matter how far the tide of Human Reversal goes, he will have enough power to counteract Human Reversal. At most twenty years, given the limitless potential of his Hegemonic Art, this Blessed Land will surely be shaken by him.
This is exactly what he needs: Technique Method that only someone like him, who cannot be Human Reversal, can master.
Wei Shuo that might also be possible.
Once he cultivates this Hegemonic Art, he can naturally accumulate terrifying power, shake up Blessed Land, and resist Human Reversal. But at that time, wouldn't he become the very power that someone needs to accumulate?
Recalling the King of the Year Kingdom he had seen through the "Flying Glare" Spirit Talismans, he pinched the image of the Spirit Talismans that remained on his face.
"It seems that all cultivators in this world who practice Hegemonic Art know of the existence of Celestial Person, and all believe that as long as they kill Celestial Person, they can escape the Blessed Land..."
"But... who told them to find out?"
Li Fuchan recalled that he had just entered the Blessed Land when he was discovered by the King of the River Kingdom. In one sentence, he revealed the words of the Celestial Person, expressed his hatred for Celestial Person, and showed his determination to leave the Blessed Land.
However, Li Fuchan only had one thought at that moment.
Bland.
In Li Fuchan's view, the King of the River Kingdom's hatred and resentment were without any reason, without any supporting basis, and not particularly moving; they seemed rather abrupt and bland. His hatred, his words, and the clarity he suddenly regained under the influence of Human Reversal all seemed to be merely to let Li Fuchan know that they were adversaries and that a battle between them was inevitable.
Those rulers, nations, and even their own companions naturally stood in opposition to the Celestial Person. They were bound to fight the celestial Celestial Person who entered the Blessed Land, and the Celestial Person were bound to clash with them.
A Blessed Land, three nations, hundreds of millions of people, rulers, Celestial Person, and Hegemonic Art —all are intertwined; only such a force can be called a great force.
Only such a powerful trend is what people desire, and they want it too. So what about those above them?
Li Fuchan slightly raised his head and looked up at the sky.
He had a vague feeling that after entering the Human-Reversal Blessed Land, he seemed to have returned to the Flying Earthworm Cave.
And some enormous being he couldn't see was watching him from the sky, watching the insects in the anthill, and he seemed to have become the Pill Material once again.
A suitable Pill Material for cultivating Hegemonic Art.
Someone is secretly orchestrating the Human-Reversal Blessed Land, and even intends to control these Celestial Person.
All of this was merely his speculation based on what he had seen in the legacy of the Hegemonic Art passed down from Nian Renshang Nianren.
However, for him, often just a guess is enough.
"The Heaven of Separation is an old artifact of the Thunder Palace, the Hegemonic Art was not created by me, and the support of the Purple Mansion Lord must be earned through my own efforts. These three things will always be external to me." Just as he once told Three Nothing and Quan Yong, he only believed in himself.
If he were to make the decision himself...
Waiting for the Fifth Human Reversal step by step is too slow and too passive.
He didn't like doing things that seemed preordained, like stirring up the world's affairs, accumulating power, or cultivating Hegemonic Art.
Boom.
He took out a tinderbox from his bosom, blew on it gently to start a fire, and instantly ignited the cultivation method of the Hegemonic Art that he had painstakingly copied.
He glanced at the sky and said calmly:
"Whether it's a human or a ghost, once the Human Reversal reaches its peak and the Grotto Heaven appears, the True Lord will arrive. What then will a grand conspiracy matter? All I need to do is accelerate the progress of the Human Reversal."
How to do it?
It's very simple.
Pull it down.
