The Way of the Heavens

A mass grave outside Luoan City.

The two corpse collectors talked for a long time, glanced at the body of the young man, and finally remembered what they had to do.

Faced with the money owner who sent them a lot of silver, they naturally helped him to rest in peace enthusiastically, instead of perfunctorily treating the bodies of other beggars, so that his body was eaten by wild dogs and vultures.

After a few incense sticks, the body of the little beggar was buried casually in the soil, forming a low earth grave. As for the two corpse collectors, they happily returned to Luoan City with the jade pendant to find wine to drink.

Underground, in the little beggar's mind, the spirit bead with cracks all over it was dark and dim, and it was completely impossible to tell that this was the supreme treasure that had resisted the thunder of heavenly punishment before.

The long and endless darkness seemed to feel that the attention of Zhenwu Tiandao had long disappeared, and the dim spirit bead suddenly flashed.

A stream of heat surged out of the Lingzhu, constantly flowing through the little beggar's body, improving and repairing the damaged body.

The visible injuries on the little beggar's body quickly improved, the bruises on the surface slowly disappeared, and his body functions and vitality were slowly recovering.

The Lingzhu's Mu Yuan soul also merged with this body in the process, but just when the soul left the Lingzhu, the Zhenwu world's heavenly way seemed to have a sense, and a lightning appeared in this world, but it disappeared in an instant, because after the soul merged with the body, the breath outside the domain disappeared again!

Several wild dogs wandered on the mass grave, sniffing with their sensitive noses, trying to find some corpses to fill their stomachs.

One of the wild dogs passed by a small earthen grave that had obviously been renovated not long ago. According to its sensitive nose, it knew that there was food it wanted underneath, and it kept digging the soil with its thin claws.

Suddenly, something strange happened. The low earthen tomb began to crack, and the fresh soil on the tomb rolled to the sides, scaring away the wild dog digging the soil.

The wild dog stood a few feet away, with dirty black hair all over its body, cold teeth exposed, and staring at the cracked earthen tomb.

Bang!

A tender and pale arm broke through the soil and stretched out, followed by another arm. With both hands supporting the ground, a boy about fourteen or fifteen years old crawled out of the small earthen tomb!

The little beggar with mud on his hair and tattered clothes stood up and looked around blankly. Countless memory fragments in his mind were absorbed and merged by him...

The little beggar was originally a young master of a wealthy family in Mobei, the Tang Dynasty, but everything changed when the Tianlang Kingdom in the north invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty.

The army of Tianlang country took a detour through the wilderness to raid the land of Mobei. Wherever they passed, war and death spread. They burned, killed and looted. The corpses were everywhere in Mobei. Countless people died and were displaced.

The cavalry of Tianlang country was invincible all the way. The army of Mobei of the Tang Dynasty, which had not fought for many years, could only return to defend and try their best to prevent them from going deep into the depths of the Tang Dynasty. They had no power to fight back. They could only rely on the steep pass to wait for the support of the Yanyun army of the King of Zhenbei thousands of miles away.

The little beggar's home was destroyed in this war. His parents died at the hands of the Tianlang people. He and his sister escaped with the people in the city in a panic, but they were separated from his sister. Then the little beggar followed the refugees all the way to Luo'an City in the heart of the Tang Dynasty.

Because he was spoiled since childhood, the little beggar had no means of survival and could not earn money.

Although he had a jade pendant on him, it was the only gift his mother gave him, and it was also the basis for finding his sister in the future, so he did not pawn it for money, and he could only make a living by begging all the way.

But a few days ago, during a begging process, he was knocked away by the third young master of the Luo family in Luoan City who was riding a horse on the street. The little beggar died on the spot due to excessive blood loss. The officers and soldiers in the city notified the corpse collector to take him to the mass grave for burial.

Thinking of this, the little beggar, or Mu Yuan, couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows and thought to himself: "The original owner of this body is really in trouble."

His eyes swept over the wild dogs around him that were eager to try and ready to pounce and bite, and a trace of heavenly breath flashed by. Suddenly, the wild dogs wailed and quickly fled with their tails between their legs.

Mu Yuan didn't care. He stood up from the broken grave, narrowed his eyes slightly, looked up at the sky, and chuckled, "New world, here I come..."

...

Luo'an City, Mu Yuan created a lot of gold, silver and jewelry by means of creation after entering the city. After asking a few people casually, Mu Yuan came to the best inn in Luo'an City, Zuixianlou.

The waiter here did not speak ill of Mu Yuan because of his ragged and tattered clothes, but politely asked Mu Yuan whether he needed to eat or stay in the hotel.

Mu Yuan pretended to take out two silver pieces from his clothes and said to the waiter: "A first-class guest room, and please help me find a suitable dress."

The waiter looked at the little beggar in front of him and took out twenty taels of silver. Hearing his words, although he was surprised why a little beggar had so much silver, he also knew that because of the war in the north, countless people were pouring into Luo'an City. It is not surprising that someone pretended to be a beggar to prevent others from peeping at their money.

The waiter thought about this and felt relieved. He responded to Mu Yuan's words: "Please come in, the clothes you need will be brought immediately." Then he took Mu Yuan to the guest room behind Zuixianlou.

Less than a quarter of an hour after leaving, the waiter brought back a new set of clothes and a bucket of hot water.

The waiter smiled and said: "If you have anything, you can call me outside the door. I will take my leave first."

After the waiter left, Mu Yuan took a bath and washed for a while. A young man with a young face but very handsome appeared in the room instantly. After putting on a white dress, his temperament was more gentle like jade, full of bookish atmosphere. It can be seen that Mu Yuan's previous family was not only a wealthy family but also a scholarly family.

Mu Yuan looked at the face in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction. Although it was not Mu Yuan's former body, he was very happy if Mu Yuan occupied this body now. After all, no one could like an ugly face.

Suddenly, a "gurgle" sounded, and Mu Yuan touched his nose awkwardly, "I haven't felt this way for a long time. This body is now just a mortal body. It seems that I have to fill my stomach first, and it's just right to inquire about the information of this world here."

The inn is one of the best places to collect and inquire about information. Every day, countless people from all walks of life pass by here. As long as you listen patiently, you can always get countless information about this world that Mu Yuan wants.

Then Mu Yuan ordered a table of sumptuous dishes in the lobby of the inn. While tasting the delicacies that he had not eaten for thousands of years, he listened to the conversations of the guests around him and got some information.

Gradually, Mu Yuan combined the original memory of this body with the information he heard, and roughly understood the basic situation of this world.

This world is called Zhenwu Continent, where martial arts flourish, and almost everyone practices martial arts. The martial arts realm here is similar to the Yuanjie. The first three realms are called the Tempering Body Realm, the Spiritual Yuan Realm, and the Sea of ​​God Realm.

The Tempering Body Realm, tempers the muscles, bones, blood and flesh of the whole body, circulates the power of qi and blood, and enhances one's own strength and strength.

The Spiritual Yuan Realm, opens up the Dantian, and the power of qi and blood is transformed into Yuanli, and the warrior can actively absorb the Yuanli of heaven and earth to enhance his strength and cultivation.

Warriors in this realm can have Yuanli leave the body, Yuanli transform into shape, and the power increases dozens of times.

Above it is the Sea of ​​God Realm, where Yuanli changes from gas to liquid, forming a Yuanli lake in the Dantian.

The realms above these three realms are unknown. After all, the people here are ordinary people or low-level warriors. They can't contact higher-level warriors at all, so how can they know the power of real warriors.

Even the strongest person in Luoan City is only the seventh level of Lingyuan, and the reason why they know the strong people in the Shenhai realm is because there are strong people in the Shenhai realm in the Tang Dynasty.

The Zhenwu Continent is extremely vast, and ordinary people can't travel all over the continent in their lifetime. The Zhenwu Continent is divided into eight major domains, "Heaven and Earth, Xuanhuang, Universe and Wilderness", and the Tang Dynasty where Mu Yuan is now located is located in the "Xuanyu" in the southeast of the Zhenwu Continent.

The "Xuanyu" is divided into three realms and 27 countries, the three realms of Sun, Moon and Star, the Tang Dynasty, Tianlang Kingdom, Xuanfeng Kingdom and other 27 countries, each realm has nine countries, in addition to a large area of ​​wilderness.

And these countries only occupy half of the area in the Xuanyu, and the remaining vast area is the territory of many powerful sects and martial arts families.

The area of ​​the Great Tang Kingdom is about the same size as the Celestial Empire on Earth, but the Great Tang Kingdom is only one of the twenty-seven kingdoms, located in the Star Realm among the Three Realms. This shows how vast the Zhenwu Continent is.
