Chapter 10: A Lone Man Subdues a Nation
Chapter 10: A Lone Man Subdues a Nation
In the Grand Li Palace, within the Tai Chi Hall, a dignified man clad in imperial dragon robes sat before a table made of sandalwood. Seated across from him was a thin and elderly man.
"Uncle-ancestor, with your current strength, there should be no match for you in all the lands, right?" The dignified man was none other than the current Emperor of Grand Li.
His counterpart, the thin and elderly man, was the Grand Li Royal Family's Old Ancestor, the strongest among them and a peak Martial Arts Master.
Without this pillar of support, the Grand Li Dynasty may not have been able to rule over the four seas with such ease, commanding respect from all eight directions.
"Not until the Grand Master level can we speak of having no rivals," the thin old man shook his head, his tone devoid of any hint of humility.
Even among Masters, there are varying degrees of strength. And the thin old man undoubtedly stood at the pinnacle of the Master realm.
When it came to heritage, the other major martial arts sects could boast of Grand Masters in their lineage. But the Grand Master ancestor of the Grand Li Dynasty was undoubtedly the most influential.
After all, this ancestor had lived over a hundred years ago, and his fame remained undiminished to this day. The numerous martial arts secrets he left behind were not only superior to those of other Grand Masters but also more comprehensive and complete.
Not to mention that the ancestor, in his prime, had personally visited other major martial arts sects and brought back copies of their martial arts secrets. The Grand Li Dynasty, having gathered martial arts knowledge from all corners of the land, boasted a foundation far surpassing that of the other major sects.
"Grand Master... Is Uncle-ancestor just a fine line away from the Grand Master realm?" The Grand Li Emperor inquired, his tone tinged with uncertainty.
"A fine line, yet a world of difference," the thin old man sighed. The closer he got to the Grand Master realm, the more he felt a sense of despair and helplessness.
And this was with the premise that the Grand Li ancestor had left behind numerous insights for breaking through. Without these, the thin old man wouldn't even dare to dream of the Grand Master realm.
Even so, he lacked confidence that he could take that final step.
"However, Your Majesty can rest assured. In this world, if I cannot break through to the Grand Master level, then no other Master will be able to either," the thin old man said, his voice deep and confident.
Just as the Grand Li Emperor was about to respond, terrifying sound waves descended upon them, filling every inch of air.
"This monk, Hui Zhen, wishes to enter the Martial Arts Hall of the Palace."
"This monk, Hui Zhen, wishes to enter the Martial Arts Hall of the Palace."
"This monk, Hui Zhen, wishes to enter the Martial Arts Hall of the Palace."
The piercing sounds echoed in their ears, causing the Grand Li Emperor's eardrums to vibrate and his vision to blur.
The thin and elderly man, already a peak Martial Arts Master, fared worse; his face contorted in agony. The stronger one's strength, the more sensitive they were to sound waves, and thus the greater the impact and suppression.
"Ahhhhhh!"
"What sort of sonic art is this?!"
The thin old man exclaimed in disbelief. Merely through the power of sound, transmitted from an unknown distance, a peak Martial Arts Master like himself had been rendered incapable of resistance.
Who could it be?
Could it be a Grand Master? Even a formidable Grand Master like the Grand Li ancestor might not be capable of such a feat...
Outside the palace, Lin Yuan remained calm.
He had just demonstrated one of the Seventy-Two Ultimate Techniques of Da Chan Temple—the sonic martial art, Lion's Roar.
Lion's Roar was an advanced martial art and a rare sonic art that could strike fear into people's hearts and shatter their livers and gallbladders through the power of sound.
However, this particular art was not very effective against Innate Realm martial artists. After all, compared to physical strikes or weapons, sound waves were not that impactful.
But Lin Yuan's current strength was too formidable. With a body and primal energy cultivated to the Mythical Realm, surpassing even that of a Grand Master, his roar was devastating. Although it might not shatter the mountains and rivers, it would surely be difficult for any Master to withstand.
Of course, Lin Yuan did not strike to kill.
Under the terrifying sonic waves of the Lion's Roar, those at the pinnacle of post-innate strength merely felt their eardrums vibrating without suffering any other injuries.
As for those at the peak of post-innate, the pinnacle of innate, and even the Martial Arts Masters, the impact was indeed heavier, but they would recover after a month or two of rest. It would not cause any irreversible damage.
In the past, when the Grand Li Ancestor visited Da Chan Temple, he used absolute force to compel the monks to hand over their ultimate techniques.
Now, Lin Yuan's roar outside the palace had caused chaos within, and he considered it a payback.
"Buddhist disciple, this..."
The middle-aged monk beside him had his mind blank at the moment.
He had just been wondering why the Buddhist disciple had said it would be troublesome and what'saying it directly' meant.
Then, he witnessed the incredible scene before him.
"Look, I guess we'll be able to get in soon."
Lin Yuan glanced back at the middle-aged monk and said casually.
"..."
The middle-aged monk was still overwhelmed.
Although he didn't know what had happened inside the palace, he could tell from the chaotic auras that had emerged after Lin Yuan's roar that even the aura of a Martial Arts Master was falling.
The middle-aged monk felt that the defensive power of the palace had probably dropped to an all-time low in history, and he feared that even a random group of innate warriors could slaughter them all.
In this situation, the middle-aged monk had no doubt about Lin Yuan's statement, 'I guess we'll be able to get in soon.' With Lin Yuan's 'roaring' achievement,
Not to mention entering the mere Martial Arts Hall, even if he wanted to enter the harem of the current Grand Li Emperor, It would probably be just a matter of words.
A moment later.
Under the gaze of the middle-aged monk.
A dignified man in dragon robes, along with a thin and elderly man, hurried out.
In addition, several other figures followed behind them, their auras weak and feeble, but their gait exuded an aura far beyond that of the innate realm.
The Grand Li Emperor, upon exiting the palace, soon saw Lin Yuan standing there in his gray monk's robe.
"Greetings, Master,"
The Grand Li Emperor felt bitter and immediately bowed.
After experiencing the terrifying sound waves in the Hall of Supreme Pole, the Grand Li Emperor was not greatly affected and quickly recovered.
The Grand Li Emperor's first thought was to escape.
However, the thin and elderly man beside him stopped him.
This thin and elderly man was a peak Martial Arts Master.
He was well aware that the owner of such sonic power, though not necessarily unprecedented, was definitely more powerful than the Grand Li Ancestor who had lived hundreds of years ago.
How could they escape from such a formidable opponent? And where could they flee to? On the contrary, By observing the extent of the Grand Li Emperor's injuries, the thin and elderly man deduced that Lin Yuan probably had no malicious intentions towards the Grand Li Royal Family.
Otherwise, Just the terrifying sound wave alone would have been enough to severely injure him, a peak Martial Arts Master.
How could the Grand Li Emperor, a mere mortal who hadn't even reached the innate realm, only suffer such minor effects?
Therefore, Following the thin and elderly man's suggestion, the Grand Li Emperor plucked up his courage and followed the source of the sound waves to the outside of the palace.
"I, Monk Hui Zhen, wish to enter the Martial Arts Hall of the Palace,"
Lin Yuan spoke directly to the disheveled Grand Li Emperor.
"That's simple."
"Please come in, Master."
"Please, Master."
The Grand Li Emperor breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he felt aggrieved.
If you wanted to enter the Martial Arts Hall, you could have just said so. Why create such a ruckus?
