Are you leaving?
After Dugu Qiubai left, the room remained silent for a long time. Dongfang Bai suddenly turned his head to look at the sky outside the window. Although he maintained an indifferent appearance, one could still hear a trace of concern and worry in his words.
"Well, I came here to say goodbye. I probably won't be returning to the Central Plains for a long time. By the way, this is the Martial Alliance Leader's Command Flag I've refined. If you ascend to the throne of the alliance leader, you can unleash it."
As he spoke, Wang Hao took out a three-foot-long command flag from the package behind him. It was modeled after the Five Sacred Mountains Command Flag, but its style was much more sophisticated.
Silently accepting the command flag, Dongfang Bai felt an increasing unease, as if this parting today would be the last time he would see this man.
"Can we not leave?"
Biting his lip tightly, Dongfang Bai couldn't help but utter those words.
Although the other party didn't say it, all signs indicated that what this man was about to do was extremely dangerous, and he might really not come back.
Do you remember the question I asked you in the capital?
Without answering Dongfang Bai's question, Wang Hao stood up, put his hands behind his back, gazed at the sky outside the window, and asked a strange question.
"What is it?"
Slightly stunned, Dongfang Bai didn't react for a moment.
"We really lack teamwork!"
With a sigh, Wang Hao said, "I have a friend, a woman, who's fairly good-looking. A while ago, she fell in love with a man, but she eventually discovered he was the one who killed her entire family. She's conflicted now, unsure whether to kill him or forgive him and stay with him."
He also had the idea of confronting this girl this time, but he wasn't sure if her temperament had changed. If she softened a bit, he wouldn't mind forcing himself on her and conquering her.
After all, during this period, those powerful figures from the Central Plains martial arts world had traveled all over the three continents of Asia, Europe, and Africa, as well as the two Americas. They may not have collected all the cultivation traditions, but they had at least collected most of them.
After he learned these martial arts techniques, he passed them on to this girl in his spare time, earning her two million Fortune Points. Even if new martial arts techniques appeared in the future, there wouldn't be too many to worry about, so her concerns would naturally be lessened.
But if things remain the same, then we can only continue to suffer.
Otherwise, if he really pushes this girl too far and she ends up Jade and Stone Burn Together, that would be bad news. After all, this girl has a rather strong personality, so he has to be careful.
These words, once spoken, reminded Dongfang Bai of the massacre of her Dongfang Lineage. Her voice, brimming with murderous intent, said, "For people like this, I still give the same answer as before."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Dongfang Bai sensed something was wrong. He looked at Wang Hao suspiciously, scrutinizing him closely, but couldn't figure out what the problem was.
Why are you asking this?
"I see!"
Nodding gloomily, Wang Hao said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, just asking casually. By the way, these are some insights I gained from breaking through to the Celestial Realm. You should study them more when you have time."
He reached out and touched Dongfang Bai's brow, transmitting his insights and knowledge in this area. In the end, he also transferred most of his own martial arts heritage to her, hoping to accelerate the girl's growth.
As expected of one of the protagonists of this era, Dongfang Bai entered a state of enlightenment the moment she received these insights. This was something she couldn't control; her Fortune was simply too strong, and she could easily enter a state of enlightenment without even realizing it.
Wang Hao gave Dongfang Bai a deep look, then turned and walked out.
We really can't stay in the Central Plains any longer. As the start of the story draws closer, the Will of Heaven and Earth could be fully revived at any moment.
At other times, one could use the karmic Cause and Effect with Dongfang Bai to conceal their true nature, but not now. It would be easy for their abnormality to be discovered, and the consequences would be no joke.
"Aren't you going to tell her the truth? I'm sure you can see that what happened back then has become a strong obsession in her mind. If this continues, it will inevitably turn into a demon in her heart, and it will be even more difficult to resolve it then."
Stepping out of the room, Dugu Qiubai appeared outside, arms crossed, leaning against a pillar. He had clearly overheard the conversation.
He was well aware of his beloved disciple's condition; that obsession was almost turning into a demon, and once a demon formed, it would be impossible to remove it.
"There are some things it's better not to let her know. As for her inner demons, I have a way to deal with them!"
Taking a deep breath, Wang Hao knew perfectly well what Dongfang Bai's condition was like, but he didn't have a good solution for the time being. Although there was indeed a corresponding method to expel the inner demons, now was not the time to use that method.
"You young people... what are you trying to do?"
Just as Dugu Qiubai was about to say something, he saw his wicked disciple suddenly appear in front of him and couldn't help but shudder. Realizing that something was wrong, he tried to run away, but a large hand grabbed his shoulder tightly.
"I won't be returning to the Central Plains for a long time. I'm entrusting Xiao Bai's safety to you. However, your current strength is too weak, so I'll give you some boosts."
As Wang Hao spoke, he touched the forehead of this cheap master, transmitting all his martial arts knowledge and insights to him.
Dugu Qiubai was no Dongfang Bai. Although his cultivation was not weak, he could not handle so much information at once. He straightened his legs, foamed at the mouth, and collapsed to the ground convulsing. It was clear that he would not wake up for a while.
"Tch! A modern-day Sword Demon, huh?! He can't even handle this little bit!"
With a disdainful sneer, Wang Hao glanced back at the beautiful figure inside the room, shook his head helplessly, and slipped away.
We really can't stay in this Central Plains any longer!
What Wang Hao didn't notice was that at the gate of the old Eastern mansion, a dirty little beggar was watching him leave, his large, clear eyes showing surprise, which then turned into a thoughtful expression.
Although Wang Hao left the Central Plains, the forces led by the Old Zhu Household continued to carry out the plans he left behind, doing everything they could to strengthen the overall power of the Central Plains.
Meanwhile, the major powers abandoned their previous wishful thinking and assisted the Old Zhu Household in carrying out thorough reforms, thus mitigating much of the loss of Fortune.
With the so-called overseas martial arts techniques deduced by Wang Hao Haoshan, a massive martial arts craze swept across the Central Plains, with Blood Essence Martial Path, Qi Refinement Martial Dao, and Divine Script Martial Dao advancing in tandem.
Then, with the Seven Po Magnetic Field Cultivation Method and the Yin Soul Soul Power Cultivation Method as supplementary methods, a perfect Body Refinement was formed.
Although there are no specific techniques for Martial Dao Will, it is much easier to improve it in this martial arts craze than before.
Of course, having strength inevitably leads to conflict, but the Old Zhu Household followed the plan left by Wang Hao and established martial arts arenas in major towns. All conflicts between martial artists would be resolved on the arenas, minimizing unnecessary losses.
Of course, there are some people or forces that do not want to abide by the rules, but faced with the alliance of the Old Zhu Household and the major forces in the martial arts world, those with serious problems are directly executed, while those with minor problems are sent to labor camps.
In short, the entire Central Plains is steadily moving towards order, and the chaos of the past is gone.
However, even though the progress of the Central Plains can be described as rapid and ever-changing, the sense of urgency in everyone's hearts has not diminished in the slightest.
Leaving aside the terrifying power displayed by those peerless geniuses of the overseas martial arts world, Zhu Yanzu's feat of dispersing the dark clouds for thousands of miles with a single command on the day of the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai shocked everyone.
Even Zhu Yanzu, with his formidable power, wasn't entirely confident of surviving the future catastrophe; their meager strength was certainly out of the question.
Meanwhile, the bigwigs from all sides who knew more also focused their efforts on cultivation and increasing the Fortune of their own sects.
Back then, Zhu Yanzu had explicitly told them that he had broken through to the Celestial Realm by relying on the immense Fortune of Human Dao Fortune. They also wanted to follow this example to break through their own bottlenecks and achieve the Celestial Realm.
It seemed absurd, but as their own Fortune grew stronger, their premonition of breaking through became stronger and stronger, and this strange phenomenon made them even more determined in their minds.
Three years after Wang Hao left the Central Plains, Zhang Sanfeng, known as the number one person in the Central Plains, broke through and became the first true Celestial Person Realm expert.
Following closely behind, with the blessing of the Da Ming's National Fortune, Comrade Old Zhu also broke through his previous bottleneck and achieved the status of a celestial being.
These two breakthroughs once again ignited the entire Central Plains martial arts world, causing everyone to cultivate even more frantically.
At the same time, the Old Zhu Household did not relax their expansion plans. With the Copper Armor Army led by Zhu Yijun as the vanguard, they swept through all the foreign lands and incorporated them into the territory of the Da Ming.
Then, the people of the Central Plains were encouraged to migrate to new territories. With various favorable conditions and the cooperation of various forces, this matter progressed very smoothly.
In the fifth year, they had conquered the entire Eurasian continent, and then set off again for the Americas and Africa.
The Huaxia in this world has, under Wang Hao's influence... well, he has completely broken free from its original historical trajectory and is marching towards a new era that no one can predict.
However, no matter how much territory was expanded, the Central Plains remained the core of the entire Huaxia.
This place not only contains the three divine steles left by Wang Hao on Mount Tai to suppress the Human Dao Fortune, but also the ten Ancient Emperor Divine Hall of Mount Song, where the great opportunities contained are unparalleled by others.
Wang Hao didn't pay much attention to the development of the Central Plains. He stayed in Australia and focused on development, not only cultivating diligently himself, but also encouraging the beggar children who had migrated from Australia to cultivate.
Although most of these beggar children have disabilities, they are not without hope of recovery.
As long as one can cultivate Blood Essence Martial Path to the Earth Tier, which is the Great Grandmaster Realm, one can regenerate severed limbs under the dual effect of Qi and Blood and Bloodline Power.
With ample supplies, cultivating Blood Essence Martial Path to the Earth Tier is not difficult; it's just a matter of time.
Incidentally, a couple of years ago, under Zhou Xueyi's leadership, they attacked the birthplace of the Japanese pirates— the Japanese Islands —and wiped out all the pirates there, while also bringing a large number of women and children with them.
After all, more than 90% of the beggar children he brought from the Central Plains were male, and the women were physically weaker and would hardly survive such torture.
This caused a problem with reproduction, but fortunately, the women on the Japanese Islands replenished the population, which barely balanced things out.
Wang Hao did not discriminate against these Japanese Islands women; he treated them as Huaxia and helped them integrate completely into his society.
This is also a characteristic of the Huaxia nation, which has a strong inclusiveness and can integrate all ethnic groups into itself, making them completely one of its own.
