I Have A Martial Dao World

The high temperatures and drought made the wildfire uncontrollable once it started, quickly spreading over an area exceeding 50,000 square kilometers. The raging flames, reaching up to 70 meters tall, turned everything in their path to ashes. Faced with such disaster, the combined efforts of the nation's fire brigades and military were of no avail. The dry powder fire retardant sprayed by planes was feeble and helpless, doing nothing to diminish the fire's intensity. While wildfires were not uncommon, the scale of this one was unprecedented since the founding of the Oya Federation; it was simply beyond human control! At this moment, the forest that had been burnt produced massive amounts of dense smoke, blanketing the skies above the Oya Federation's most economically developed and populous East Coast. The air pollution index was off the charts, thick with a pungent odor, and the whole region was trapped in an increasingly yellow haze, even the sun appeared hazy, and the snow on the peaks of Mount Victoria was turning yellowish. Moreover, the haze was drifting towards nearby New Zealand and even towards the Star Alliance Country. In the face of such an emergency, the Oya Federation's allies all offered moral encouragement and support. Prime Minister Morris, however, made what could be called an "epic" move—at the height of the fire's ferocity, he took his family on vacation to Tanxiang Island... and was caught in photos dancing on the beach with a lei around his neck. Once the news broke, the entire Oya Federation erupted. Massive protest marches broke out in all the major cities, with crowds displaying slogans like "Idiot Morris resign" in demonstration. The ruling party was in complete disarray, thoroughly sabotaged by their own inept leader. It was at this time that the suggestion to ask Superman for help was raised once again. This time, even Prime Minister Morris didn't dare show his tough stance and remained silent, tacitly approving. But Superman was nowhere to be found, and even Xia Country couldn't get in touch with him. And the disaster brought on by the absence of rain was just beginning. ~~~~~~~~~~~ At this moment, Lu Yao was feeling great. After thoroughly exploiting Yun Qinglan for three days, the Holy Maiden of the Joyful Sect finally regained her strength and remembered her abilities. Her whole body could transform into weapons, especially her fair and delicate feet which had mysterious effects indescribable to outsiders. Remarkably, she withstood the Flesh Realm with her Innate Realm abilities. Recently, Jing Yi Garden had been a scene of spring delight. But all good times must come to an end, and Yun Qinglan had to leave for Goryeo to claim her fief, parting with reluctance. Lu Yao, preoccupied with his own affairs, did not insist on her staying and sent Er Ya to see her off on his behalf. As pleasant as their interaction was, Yun Qinglan still lacked a certain significance in his heart. Er Ya sent Yun Qinglan down the mountain with a cold face, silent all the way. She left without a goodbye, which was somewhat rude. Clearly, because the girl was overtly jealous and resentful. Yun Qinglan smiled without taking offense, well aware that she was the one who had benefited the most. At that moment, she touched the bedsheet full of fallen petals in her bosom, confident that it was a guarantee for life. At the foot of Xiangshan, members of the Joyful Sect had been eagerly waiting for three days, finally greeting their returning Sect Master. A group of Bodhisattvas and elders immediately surrounded her, observing carefully with the secret methods of the sect. Yun Qinglan appeared leisurely and seductive, her eyes brimming with an autumnal charm, and there was an unmistakable allure about her that was invisible but palpable. One of the Bodhisattvas tentatively asked, "Sect Master, you..." Yun Qinglan responded straightforwardly, "Start selecting a new Holy Maiden." The implication was clear; having lost her virginity, she could no longer hold the position of Holy Maiden. An elder burst with joy, "This is wonderful, Sect Master! Please think of a way for us to join the expedition to Izumo." These old veterans of the Joyful Sect were notorious, to say the least. The idea of them being integrated into the regular army, let alone serving as military martial artists, was far-fetched. A thought struck Yun Qinglan; these men only saw the benefits and were completely blind to the risks. Izumo was not easy to deal with. This was the perfect opportunity to get rid of them! ~~~~~~~~~~ No wonder the old slicksters of the Joyful Sect lost their heads—it was the allure of the fiefdom that tempted them. In the bones of martial artists lays a rebellious spirit. Who wouldn't want a domain where they could do as they pleased and reign supreme? And to have it recognized and passed down through five generations by the Imperial Court was the perfect fulfillment of every martial artist's desires. At this moment, the whole of Divine Land was brimming with eagerness, impatient to conquer Izumo and seek out new territories. However, there was one sect that remained apart from this clamor. ~~~~~~~~~ Yu Yanmei, riding Ping An, arrived at the Kunlun Mountain Range. This place was known as the premier mountain of Divine Land, the "Ancestor of Dragon Veins". It was no simple feat to occupy this land, and the Kunlun Sect, established towards the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was believed to have been founded by the "Ever-Young Mystic," An Qisheng. The Divine Sword Tai'a in Yu Yanmei's hand had come from a painting in the Qinling Mausoleum Underground Palace— the "Chart of Ascension"— which depicted The First Emperor of Qin visiting this individual. At that moment, since the Kunlun Sect had long since closed off their mountain, Yu Yanmei went straight to Jade Void Peak and let out a long sky-reaching howl, proclaiming, "Yu Yanmei of the Moon Star Sect has come to pay a visit to this sect!" This roar, filled with the surging True Qi of the Golden Body Realm like a vast ocean, created visible sound waves that exploded outward, causing the snow-clad mountains to tremble with trepidation. Yu Yanmei expected someone to come soon, but it took a good half hour before a Bone-Tempering Realm mortal trudged through the snow, coming with uneven steps. "Please follow me, Uncle-Master Yu." Yu Yanmei's brows furrowed as she followed the person to the location of the Kunlun Sect. But the deeper they went, the more something felt off. In the ancient and majestic complex of buildings, by all counts, there were fewer than 100 people, each with a lower cultivation level than the last. [Where has everyone gone?] Yu Yanmei felt puzzled. Although the Kunlun Sect had a tradition of closing their mountain whenever a major event occurred and only re-emerging once peace returned, their strength was unquestionable— a sect filled with masters. But now, not even a shadow of one was in sight. It was not until they reached a towering stone platform rising into the clouds that a smiling, beautifully dressed woman appeared— Yu Linglong, the current Sect Leader of the Kunlun Sect. Yu Yanmei clasped her fist in a salute: "Sister Yu!" The other party returned the gesture with a smile, "Congratulations to Sister Yu for advancing to the Great Grandmaster." "It was just a fortunate breakthrough. I have documented my insights, please review them." Speaking thus, Yu Yanmei presented a piece of paper. After the other party took it, she continued, "Since the Kunlun Sect has sealed the mountain, it wouldn't be good for me to disturb you further, so I will take my leave now." The relationship between them was cold; she was not interested in wasting time here and wanted to finish quickly so she could return and help her beloved man break through to the Golden Body Realm. But Yu Linglong, without even glancing at the paper in her hand, said with a smile, "Don't rush off, Sister Yu. Let's have a chat; it has been a long time." Yu Yanmei replied coolly, "You may speak your mind without concern, Sister Yu." "Then... I'll speak frankly," Yu Linglong looked towards the east and began slowly, "Sister Yu is a person of great influence in The New Dynasty. Recently, the whole world is eager to go to war against Izumo. Perhaps this matter deserves more careful consideration?" Yu Yanmei's brows slightly furrowed; why would the Kunlun Sect concern itself with such significant national military affairs? Yu Linglong continued, "That Izumo Emperor is Xu Fu, who is said to be of the Divine Land lineage. Sibling bloodshed is ultimately undesirable, peace is the most valuable…" "Sect Leader Yu!" Yu Yanmei interrupted coldly, "If the Kunlun Sect has chosen to seclude itself and seal the mountain, then you should stay out of unrelated matters. Otherwise…" As she spoke, the Divine Sword Tai'a appeared in her hand, transforming into a pillar of light that reached for the heavens. With a swing of her sword, Yu Yanmei collapsed a nearby mountain peak. "Out of respect for the history between our two sects, this is my only warning. Take heed." After finishing her words, she left without looking back. Yu Linglong's expression remained unchanged. After the other person had gone, she spoke softly, "Ancestor, it seems this battle is unavoidable." A gentle voice replied, [No matter, let's see who has stirred the remnants of the spiritual machine]
