"Dealing with the Six Sword Slaves is not difficult for the overseas martial arts world. However, due to the collapse of Human Dao Fortune in the Central Plains, the spatial barrier is extremely fragile. Even a battle at the Celestial Person Realm could shatter the space."
Given the spatial strength of the Central Plains ancestral land, if one part of space shatters, it could very well cause the entire space to crumble, even evolving into a world- Destroying the World spatial storm. Once it rages, the entire world might be in danger of annihilation.
Having swindled him to this point, Wang Hao sighed and continued, "Actually, the best time to destroy the Six Sword Slaves of the Net Trap was during the Sengoku period in your ancestral homeland of the Central Plains."
At that time, the Six Devil Swords were only at the initial stage of the Celestial Person Realm. For this reason, our Daoist Taoist School joined forces with Master Kong to devise a plan to eliminate demons with divine swords. Unfortunately, the plan ultimately failed. First, the Confucian School school was in turmoil and split apart, and then the Six Sword Slaves of the Net Trap collectively attacked and killed our Taoist School.
Unable to withstand the pressure alone, our Taoist School was ultimately forced to retreat to overseas martial arts circles. Meanwhile, the Six Sword Slaves the Net Trap devoured an extraterrestrial treasure that our Taoist School had specifically sought out for the Divine Sword Demon Extermination Plan, causing their strength to surge and enabling them to become powerful figures at the Celestial Person Realm Peak.
Upon hearing this, everyone felt deeply regretful. The faces of the eight Confucian School patriarchs turned slightly green again. In the end, this was still the fault of the Confucian School school!
"The Daoist priest once mentioned that the initial plan of the overseas martial arts world was to launch a large-scale invasion of our Central Plains. Does that mean you already have a way to deal with the Net Trap?"
A wise and powerful woman suddenly spoke up, and the previously low spirits of the crowd became excited again, all turning their attention to her.
They considered the Net Trap organization, which was hidden in the martial arts world of the Central Plains, to be a thorn in their side, and it would be ideal if they could find a way to eliminate it.
Facing the hopeful gazes of the crowd, Wang Hao calmly replied, "Your statement is incorrect. Our overseas martial arts world has not found a way to resolve the Net Trap of Heaven) in our ancestral homeland of the Central Plains; instead, we have changed our attitude towards dealing with the Net Trap."
"A change of attitude? Could it be...?"
Upon hearing this, many martial arts practitioners seemed to understand something, and their expressions turned quite grim.
"That's right, we initially decided to reconcile with Net Trap."
Wang Hao nodded calmly, showing no sign of panic.
Since he had decided to start deceiving people, he had naturally thought of everything in advance. He even activated his Dao Comprehension Function for a while to deduce the truth, ensuring that everything would go perfectly and that he could answer any question these people asked.
It was as if such a thing really existed.
"But you are clearly mortal enemies with the Net Trap ), how could you possibly reconcile so easily?"
One of the more straightforward middle-aged men couldn't take it anymore, and his tone even carried a hint of questioning. The other martial arts practitioners also looked displeased.
Once the overseas martial arts forces reach a reconciliation with the Net Trap, who knows what the Net Trap will become without restraint? And according to this person, it seems that the Net Trap has infiltrated forces throughout the entire Central Plains.
It's hard to say whether they'll still be in charge of our own forces by then. They might be surrounded and killed by their own forces when they get back, or even have a knife to their throat while they sleep, or be poisoned—it's impossible to guard against anything.
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but shudder.
"Interests! Goals!"
Holding up two fingers, Wang Hao calmly explained, "As long as there are enough benefits, even the greatest hatred can be put aside. Moreover, with the birth of the Great Heavenly Demon, what we need to face most now is the Upper Realm after the Shattering the Void. There is our common enemy there, and the opponent is unprecedentedly powerful."
Only by uniting all forces that can be united can we overcome this difficulty.
As Wang Hao continued his deception, his expression gradually became serious, even showing signs of worry. This made many martial arts experts feel uneasy, with a vague sense of foreboding.
"Young friend, are you referring to the Great Heavenly Demon's plan to Whole-World Ascension?"
At this moment, Zhang Sanfeng spoke, his expression equally solemn.
You know?
Wang Hao was genuinely surprised this time, not feigning it.
He didn't recall ever discussing this matter with the Taoist School, so how did this old Daoist know?
I learned some things from an old friend!
Zhang Sanfeng glanced sideways at Zhu Yunlu and Zhu Ruoxue beside him, his expression somewhat unnatural. However, this made Wang Hao realize that it must have been the Old Zhu Household priest.
However, given Old Zhu's personality, he probably took this opportunity to extort a lot of good things from the old Daoist priest, otherwise the old Daoist priest wouldn't have looked like that.
Many martial arts practitioners were startled by Zhang Sanfeng's words and braced themselves to listen to Wang Hao's explanation. At the same time, their unease grew stronger, as if bad news was about to break out.
"Since someone has already leaked this information, then I will not hide it from you."
Pretending to be thoughtful, Wang Hao nodded slightly and continued to deceive, "What you say is correct, fellow Daoist. The Great Heavenly Demon did indeed join forces with many supreme experts of the Shattering Realm in the overseas martial arts world to formulate a plan for Whole-World Ascension the entire realm. They intend to take advantage of the fragile space in the Central Plains ancestral land to shatter the entire space here, and then spread it to the whole world, ultimately achieving Whole-World Ascension."
This is both a great crisis and a great calamity for your entire ancestral land of Central Plains, and a great opportunity. Success will bring glory for generations to come, while failure will mean the end of everything!
"Hiss!"
These words immediately drew gasps of shock from the crowd; everyone was both stunned and terrified.
They had only recently accepted the concept of Shattering the Void, and now there was this even more insane Whole-World Ascension. Even those with strong mental fortitude were quite frightened.
There was nothing they could do about it. They were just the Smiling, Proud Wanderer of this low-level martial arts world, and they had never heard of such a fantastical setting before. It was already a miracle they weren't completely terrified.
"How confident are you in this matter, given your overseas martial arts community?"
An old Daoist priest swallowed hard and asked with difficulty, he was truly frightened.
That plan to Whole-World Ascension doesn't seem very reliable at all, especially since it's full of malice towards their ancestral homeland in the Central Plains.
After all, the core of the Shattering the Void is right here. Although they don't know exactly what the Shattering the Void looks like, the danger is definitely not low. If things go wrong, the entire Central Plains could be wiped out.
" Issei!"
Wang Hao casually stated a number that nearly drove everyone to despair; if they hadn't retained some rationality, they would have gone berserk.
They originally thought it would be a 50/50 split, but it turned out to be Issei, which isn't much different from what they expected.
"Do not complain. This is our world's last chance. According to the predictions of many of the strongest martial artists overseas, the next era will enter the Dharma-ending Age, and all cultivation methods will gradually disappear. Your Central Plains will once again be breached by foreign races, and you will be enslaved by them for two hundred years."
Wang Hao started by making empty promises, but not all of what he said was entirely fabricated.
According to Old Master Jin's writing, the martial arts tradition in this world is gradually declining. The strongest era was the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils era, while the weakest was the Fox Volant of the Snowy Mountain and the Book and the Sword era. The cultivation of internal energy is almost extinct.
In that era, anyone who cultivated internal energy was considered a master; it's no exaggeration to call it the end of the Dharma era.
As for the fact that foreign tribes broke through the country's borders, that's also true. Whether in real history or in this low-level martial arts world, after the Ming Dynasty, it was the Qing Dynasty that ruled, so from this perspective, it's quite true.
These words stunned everyone present, and Zhang Sanfeng's expression became extremely serious.
He personally experienced the devastation inflicted on Huaxia by the Yuan Dynasty; the saying "nine out of ten houses are empty" perfectly describes that period. Having had such an experience, he naturally did not want Huaxia to suffer such trampling again.
"Is what you say true, young friend?"
"Why would I, a humble Daoist priest, need to lie to you?"
Wang Hao remained calm and indifferent, paying no attention to the strange looks from the crowd. As for the Qing Dynasty's foreign tribes, Wang Hao had already sentenced them to death in his heart. When he gained control of the Old Zhu Household, he would wipe them out and see how they would invade Huaxia again.
Wang Hao's appearance immediately convinced everyone of his words, and all of them turned their gazes toward the eight Confucian School patriarchs, their expressions showing great hostility.
When the Song dynasty destroyed the Yuan dynasty, Confucian School was partly to blame. Given this history, they immediately thought of these guys.
The eight patriarchs of Confucian School were also completely bewildered and felt deeply aggrieved.
While the Confucian School school of thought was partly to blame for the fall of the Song Dynasty, other forces also played a role. It was almost an inevitable trend, and they never imagined that the nomadic tribes of the grasslands would become so powerful at that time, while the Central Plains would be so weak and miserable.
Moreover, the Confucian School suffered greatly in that incident, so they also did not want to experience that again.
But why are we being framed again?
Actually, Confucian School is not unjustly blamed for this. In the past, as long as it was a Han Chinese dynasty, the scholars were generally quite good. However, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were a real problem.
Regardless of the circumstances, the Donglin Faction at the end of the Ming Dynasty bears primary responsibility for the Ming Dynasty's demise. Since the Donglin Faction was a force disguised as Confucian School, the blame should indeed be placed on Confucian School.
In truth, the Song Dynasty and Ming Dynasty dynasties were not bad, but they became bad in people's minds because they handed over the Han people's land to foreign tribes.
Both of these dynasties shared a common problem: civil officials suppressed and marginalized military officials, and even soldiers were poorly treated. It was understandable that they were destroyed by foreign tribes.
Of course, this is just the trajectory of history. When Wang Hao came to this world, fate no longer had any effect. He could let bygones be bygones during the Five Barbarian Invasions and the Yuan Dynasty because he couldn't catch up with them, but he was determined to prevent the Manchu Qing.
Recalling the blood debts he read about in history class, Wang Hao could hardly suppress the murderous intent in his heart.
Although those were just vague numbers, they still allow one to imagine how terrible the Manchu Qing the Manchu conquest of Huaxia was.
There's a saying that goes, "If you don't rebel when you travel to the Qing Dynasty, you'll be a jerk." Now that he's traveled to the Ming Dynasty, and quite early at that, if he doesn't eliminate this hidden danger, he'll definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame among countless time travelers.
Therefore, this is something that must be done!
