Zhu Wushi added in his heart, "It seems this Qilin Talent is not only exceptionally talented, but also possesses true insight."
The Ming Emperor's gaze sharpened!
"I understand..."
"Tomorrow, I will issue an imperial decree, dispatching a large army to conquer the Jurchens!"
The current Ming Emperor was still very assertive.
Tang Bohu naturally had no idea what was happening in the imperial palace.
That article was merely his opinion, formed by combining his experience as a transmigrator with what he had seen and heard in the Jurchen tribes during his travels across the land.
Tang Bohu never imagined that this article would lead to the downfall of the Jurchens!
The later Great Qing was also directly erased from this alternate dimension... Another day passed, and Tang Bohu feigned illness at home, spending his days with his two wives.
It wasn't until the palace examination concluded that he declared himself recovered, much to the regret of many.
To almost achieve the 'Triple First' was truly a pity...
All the civil and military officials in the court knew very well that Tang Bohu getting sick before the palace examination and recovering after it was clearly an act!
It seemed this young man had no desire for official fame.
He could have become an official even as a Jinshi, but Tang Bohu declined all arrangements from the Ministry of Personnel, stating that he wished to study diligently and only become an official after achieving the top scholar position in the future.
The reason Tang Bohu went through all this trouble, feigning illness and using the excuse of aiming for the top scholar, was simply to save face for the imperial court.
After all, he couldn't just walk away, could he?
This special imperial examination was set up specifically for him by the Ming Emperor; if he didn't even bother to find an excuse and simply skipped the palace examination, it would be too unreasonable.
The Ming Emperor had shown such great hospitality, setting up a special examination for him; he had to give him some face.
After the imperial examination matters concluded, Tang Bohu spent a few days touring the capital with his two wives, then, using the excuse of visiting literary friends, had them return to Suzhou first.
As for himself, he left the Da Ming Dynasty, disguised himself, and headed straight for the Great Tang Dynasty!
Those who provoke my wives shall be killed!
From Da Ming Dynasty to Great Tang Dynasty, there were two countries in between: Da Yuan Dynasty and Great Sui Dynasty.
This journey was by no means short.
Tang Bohu traveled for a full ten days before reaching the border area of the Great Sui Dynasty.
The sights and sounds of these ten days brought him considerable experience; taking a look during a rest, his experience points had already reached 1,536,866!
"It seems I can upgrade the Mingyu Skill."
"System, add points to Mingyu Skill."
【Ding, upgrade successful. Mingyu Skill's current realm is the Ninth Level.】
The significance of Mingyu Skill was not merely that it didn't consume internal energy when cultivated.
Most importantly, it could directly enhance Tang Bohu's cultivation!
As the system's prompt sounded, the cultivation method of Mingyu Skill was clearly etched into his mind.
At the same time, Tang Bohu's body also underwent a transformation.
His skin, muscles, bones, and even internal organs became crystal clear and utterly transparent.
The true qi within his body surged, forming a massive vortex that emitted an extremely powerful suction force!
Under the pull of this suction, the surrounding Heaven and Earth spiritual energy poured in like a bursting dam, entering Tang Bohu's body.
The spiritual energy nourished his meridians, cleansed his entire body, enhanced his internal true essence, and extended his lifespan.
In just an instant, Tang Bohu's body underwent an astonishing transformation!
Hum~~!
Just then, the Haoran Righteous Qi within his body emitted a hum, echoing the true qi vortex.
The two gradually merged, erupting into an even more astonishing energy!
That energy, like a storm, instantly swept through his entire body.
The immense energy crashed against his body, and Tang Bohu felt as if his meridians could barely withstand it, on the verge of bursting.
The incredibly intense stinging pain also made him unbearable at this moment.
In the end, Tang Bohu actually fainted from the pain...
He didn't know how much time had passed, but he slowly opened his eyes and found that the sky had already darkened.
Tang Bohu quickly scrambled up from the ground and silently sensed his body.
As expected, his cultivation had indeed advanced to the Shenyou Fifth Level!
However, one thing surprised Tang Bohu quite a bit... "The Haoran Righteous Qi has become purer and more powerful?"
"What's going on?"
Recalling carefully, when he previously added points to Mingyu Skill, Mingyu True Qi erupted within his body.
It was at this time that the Haoran Righteous Qi reacted, automatically beginning to circulate.
When he woke up again, the Mingyu True Qi was gone, and the Haoran Righteous Qi was purer and more powerful.
Doesn't this mean... Haoran Righteous Qi has the characteristic of devouring other types of true qi and becoming stronger?
That's right!
It must be so!
Otherwise, how could it be explained that he had cultivated so many different cultivation methods, yet only possessed this one type of internal energy, Haoran Righteous Qi?
Perhaps in the past, the reactions of other types of true qi weren't as intense as Mingyu True Qi, which is why he hadn't noticed.
Upon discovering this characteristic of Haoran Righteous Qi, Tang Bohu became excited!
The higher the quality of true qi, the more beneficial it is to the cultivator!
Take Northern Darkness True Qi as an example; Tianshan Child Elder and Li Qiushui cultivated their entire lives, yet were helpless against Northern Darkness True Qi.
Why?
It was precisely because the quality of that true qi was too high, far exceeding the quality of their own true qi!
If Haoran Righteous Qi could evolve infinitely... that would be truly terrifying!
Oh, right, let's test the power of Mingyu Skill!
With a thought, the true qi began to circulate; although there was no Mingyu True Qi left in his body, it had been replaced by the purer Haoran Righteous Qi...
While cultivating, his skin wouldn't become crystal clear and transparent, but its power surpassed even Mingyu True Qi!
After a round of circulation, Tang Bohu secretly clicked his tongue in wonder.
The true qi was contained, not leaking out at all; it didn't consume internal energy during circulation, but rather increased it.
More importantly, when cultivating Mingyu Skill, the body would generate a powerful suction force, pulling at the enemy's internal energy.
Thus, the enemy would have to contend with this suction while fighting him.
In battle, he would gain a significant advantage.
This cultivation method was simply a BUG!
Suddenly, sounds of footsteps and horse hooves came from afar.
Tang Bohu frowned; in this wilderness, who could it be?
As he pondered, he heard a conversation between men.
"Alas, the Tianlian Sect's days are getting harder and harder."
"Don't say that, brother, where is there still a Tianlian Sect in this world?"
"The Two Factions and Six Paths of the Sacred Gate have all unified; the Tianlian Sect no longer exists. Now, there is only one Sacred Gate in the Great Sui Dynasty!"
"It's fine if you tell me this, but you absolutely must not let it spread."
"Zhu Yuyan is ruthless and cruel; if it reaches her ears, you'll be in terrible trouble."
Upon hearing this, Tang Bohu's heart tensed!
The Two Factions and Six Paths of the Demonic Sect had actually unified?
How come he had never heard such rumors in the martial arts world?
Also... judging from what the two men just said, that Zhu Yuyan seemed to be the one who unified the Demonic Sect?
It seemed the Comprehensive Martial World had changed too much; the destinies of many characters were completely different from the original work, undergoing huge transformations.
He currently had a monstrous grudge with the Buddhist Sect, and the Demonic Sect and Buddhist Sect were sworn enemies.
This was a good thing!
