Great Xuanwu Sheng

Time flies, and the years are ruthless.

Another four years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Outside Yu County, in an open cemetery, Chen Mu, dressed in blue, stood in front of a tomb, holding a jade wine pot in his hand. He gently opened the lid, and a fragrant aroma spread out, which was obviously a fine wine worth a thousand gold.

"This is the best Tianya wine, which is a fine wine that Tianya Haige can only make once every ten years. I asked them for some to send you off, old man."

Chen Mu looked at the mausoleum, spoke softly, and then gently poured the wine in the jade pot in front of the tomb.

On the upright tombstone, the name "Yu Jiujiang" was engraved.

This ancestor of the Yu family, the only person of the oldest generation in the Yu family, after he was over a hundred years old, although he had many resources for prolonging his life given by Chen Mu, he eventually died of exhaustion.

When Yu Jiujiang passed away, Chen Mu was still in seclusion, and no one came to disturb him, so he did not attend Yu Jiujiang's funeral. Only Xu Hongyu, Xiaohe, Chen Yue and others all rushed to Yu County from Qixuan Sect.

"The demonic disaster is coming, I need to concentrate all my energy and practice the origin of the avenue, so as to be able to save the world..."

Chen Mu whispered in front of Yu Jiujiang's mausoleum, as if talking to the deceased Yu Jiujiang.

Everyone knows that he is the peerless martial saint, invincible in the world, and the first talent in ancient and modern times. He also has the help of the system panel, which can be unimpeded on the road of cultivation. But even so, facing the demonic disaster, how can he feel at ease?

This disaster is different from the past. In the past, it was always a worldly matter, all within the scope of his knowledge, and he only had to protect himself and his family. At the very least, he could abandon everything, hide on the edge of the deep mountains, practice invincibility and come out again.

But this time, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.

The demon clan is powerful.

He actually never explained to others how powerful the power was. Even Xuantian Daoist Master and others only knew that the demon clan had powerful gods, and there might be more than one.

But in fact, he knew that the demon clan not only had gods, but also had gods who could break through the seventh heaven. In the endless space, they could dominate one side and be called the heroes of a region, and even rule a region and dominate thousands of worlds.

He was confident that he could resist the ordinary gods of the demon clan.

But the gods...

That was too far away for him.

Although he would never stop at the level of gods in the future, what he lacked was time.

"It's easy to get a thousand gold, but it's hard to find time."

Chen Mu looked at the tombstone in front of him and sighed.

Time, this is something that everyone lacks. He lacks it, and Yu Jiujiang also lacks it. If Yu Jiujiang could be a few dozen years younger, it would not be impossible to force Yu Jiujiang's cultivation to the marrow washing realm with the resources he found.

But the heavens did not give him longevity. When he finally became invincible and could take all the world's resources at his fingertips, Yu Jiujiang's life was like a candle in the wind, and it was difficult to reverse. All this could be attributed to Yu Jiujiang, who used the method of turtle breathing to restrain his life and breath. Because of the many enemies that the Yu family and he faced, he had to take action many times, so that he could no longer keep his blood.

The way of heaven is ruthless.

If he had not existed, the Yu family would have been forced step by step by the He family and would have been unable to continue in the end. After Yu Jiujiang's life was over, the Yu family would probably have been divided, and perhaps only a very few descendants could survive incognito.

Because of his existence, Yu Jiujiang was forced to take action many times, shortening his life, and he could not hold on until he was invincible, sweeping the world, and taking all the resources at his will. After all, there was no complete method.

Pour out the last drop of wine in the jade pot.

Chen Mu slowly stood up.

He looked over the mausoleum, but saw that the mausoleum was very large, with graves everywhere, but there were not many graves with tombstones.

This area belonged to the ancestral land of the Yu family. All the descendants of the Yu family were buried here. Only those who had enough status in the Yu family were qualified to leave tombstones after death. Those ordinary Yu family members were buried here in just a small grave, and it would not take long for them to be forgotten.

Chen Mu looked up again.

His eyes swept over this ancestral land and looked far away at the Yu County City in the distance, taking everything in the county city into his eyes. He saw the poor people who were poor, hungry, and cold, and he also saw the powerful masters who lived in big houses, with blazing fires, beautiful concubines warming the bed, and hugging left and right.

He saw the low-level officials who bullied people by taking advantage of their power, the poor people who swallowed their anger, the people who lamented all day, and the people who sang and danced.

Chen Mu lowered his head slightly.

His sight returned to the cemetery.

No matter how you were born or what you experienced, you will eventually return to the yellow earth under your feet.

"Time is the fairest thing in this world. It will not be moved by human will. No matter whether you are rich or poor, you will reach the same destination. Time is the ruthless witness."

When the world was born, all things competed. There was no fairness to speak of. Therefore, when Chen Mu saw that there were petty officials bullying people and ordinary people swallowing their anger in Yu County City, he was not disturbed at all, because it was impossible to eliminate these things. What he wanted was only overall stability, unlike the chaotic world in the past, when gangs were rampant and life was worthless.

Although there will be some disputes in the current Yu County City, at least ordinary people have a way to survive. When various disasters come, the government will also do its best to resist the disasters, unlike the cold-eyed in the past. This is enough.

In this world.

The only absolute fairness is time.

It is fair to everyone. No matter how rich and powerful you are, no matter how powerful you are, you can't resist the invasion of time, and will eventually become a pile of yellow earth like the poor people.

Perhaps the names of those powerful people will be remembered, and their families can be passed down for thousands of years, but as time goes by, there will always be a day when they will be completely wiped out in the long river of history, and no one will remember them anymore.

Just like this cemetery.

Even if you are a member of the Yu family, you are born powerful and have no worries about food and clothing, but after death you will only be a pile of dry bones.

"Not moved by external things..."

Chen Mu murmured, and suddenly he seemed to have some enlightenment in his heart.

He just stood quietly in this cemetery. I don't know how long it took before he gradually came back to his senses. Then he moved his mind, called out the system panel, and looked at it.

[Origin Dao: Time (Prototype)]

[Experience: 3000 points]

"Is that enough?"

Chen Mu looked at the data on the system panel, but his eyes were calm, without too much emotion.

With the Fire of Time for him to comprehend, his efficiency in accumulating experience in the Dao of Time was almost the same as comprehending the Void. In just one year, he had already gained a thousand experience points, and then used the system panel to master the prototype of the Dao of Time in one step.

Not long ago, he comprehended the Fire of Time for the last time. When he came to his senses, his experience points had accumulated to more than 2,900 points, which was only a little short of the 3,000 points required for "Time to Enter the Dao".

Just when he was about to continue comprehending, he learned the news that Yu Jiujiang had passed away.

After a period of silence.

Chen Mu quietly left the Qixuan Sect and came to the ancestral cemetery of the Yu family outside the city of Yu County, and brought a pot of wine.

The demonic disaster is coming, he should not be moved by any external things, even if his loved ones have passed away, he should concentrate on comprehending the origin of the Dao, but he has a slight premonition that if he goes out for a walk, he may also be able to understand the Dao of Time.

And everything is indeed so. After indulging in it, he recalled the various mysteries he had understood when he comprehended the Fire of Time before, sorted them out in his mind one by one, and finally accumulated 3,000 points of experience in the Dao of Time.

Swish.

Chen Mu moved his mind and closed the system panel.

He looked at Yu Jiujiang's tomb, bowed, then stood up and took a step out, and the whole person disappeared quietly.

A breeze blew.

All traces disappeared.

In the distance, the figure of the Yu family patrolman who was stationed in the Yu family ancestral cemetery appeared. He walked over, stared at the direction of Yu Jiujiang's tomb, rubbed his eyes, and muttered: "It seems that there was a figure just now?"

He walked closer and looked carefully, but there was no trace, and finally walked away suspiciously.

He was not afraid.

After all, he was also a member of the Yu family. This was the Yu family's cemetery, and his ancestors were everywhere. However, he was also a warrior, and normally he would not be dazzled. Just now, when he looked from a distance, there should be a figure.

"Maybe it was a certain adult who came to pay homage?"

This thought arose in his mind.

This was also very normal. After all, on the day when Yu Jiujiang passed away, people from all sides came to mourn, even some masters who had entered the marrow washing realm, and big figures who were usually elusive, more than one person appeared.

Although Yu Jiujiang was just an ordinary person in the Five Internal Organs Realm during his lifetime, now there are nearly ten masters in the Five Internal Organs Realm in the entire Yu family, and more than one in the Six Internal Organs Realm, but Yu Jiujiang's status is unshakable, and he is an ancestor respected by everyone.

In the troubled times, he became the pillar of the Yu family, like a towering tree supporting the Yu family for decades, and later protected Chen Mu when he was weak. He was not only a witness to the rise of this martial saint, but even Chen Mu has always been respectful to Yu Jiujiang. Xu Hongyu, who has already become a master, often comes to visit.

It is also normal for other big figures to secretly come to pay tribute to Yu Jiujiang.

Even...

Yu He's mind flashed the name "Chen Mu".

When Yu Jiujiang passed away, many people said that Chen Mu might come to mourn in person, which was one of the reasons why all the bigwigs came to mourn. After all, what kind of person is Chen Mu now? He is the great martial saint who reigns over the world. He can decide the fate of the world with one word. I don't know how many people want to get close to Chen Mu.

Like Xue Huaikong, who is now old and has long resigned from the position of Yu County Governor, he has sighed countless times. In his early years, when Chen Mu was insignificant, he did not have any affinity with him, so Yu Jiujiang got ahead of him and even made Xu Hongyu marry Chen Mu. Now Xu Hongyu's status is so respected that even the supreme leaders of various sects have to treat her with courtesy.

At that time, some of his Xue family's children were no worse than Xu Hongyu. Not to mention marrying Chen Mu, even if they could enter Chen's house as concubines, with this relationship, it would be enough to make the Xue family an unshakable family in Yuzhou.

This is the case with the Yu family today.

Yu County has long ceased to have several major families. Only the Yu family has a superior status. Even some sectarian forces, and even the supervisors sent by Zhenbei Prefecture, dare not neglect the Yu family.

In the prefecture of Yuzhou, the Yu family that followed Chen Mu to the prefecture and spread out in the prefecture, although due to the short time, their power in Yuzhou prefecture is not very large, but in terms of status, they are also very superior. The major families that once ruled Yuzhou prefecture are also polite to the Yu family, and even deliberately make friends with them.

One person's success brings prosperity to the whole family. This is the best example.

Even if Chen Mu didn't take much practical care of the Yu family, and even the Yu family members that Chen Mu cared about were only a few, as long as Xu Hongyu's relationship was there, the Yu family's position was unshakable.

In fact, it's not just the Yu family.

Now, the Song family, which was unknown in the early years, has also risen in Yu County!

Why did the Song family rise? It was precisely because of the blood relationship with Chen Mu that they were personally recognized by Chen Mu in the early years, and then they attached themselves to the relationship with the Yu family. The young nephews at that time are now the commanders of a district in Yu County.

In the early years, the Song family rose by relying on the Yu family. Later, Chen Mu's status became higher and higher, and gradually the Song family also rose because of Chen Mu. Now it is also a family in Yu County, and it has also formed many in-laws with the Yu family and has a close relationship.

In addition, there is the Ning family.

In the past, the Ning family was only a subordinate of the Yu family, and they were servants. But after Xiao He and Xu Hongyu married into the Chen family, Chen Mu's status became higher and higher, and the Ning family's voice in the Yu family gradually increased, and then they slowly rose.

Many people who had witnessed Chen Mu's rise are now old, and they sigh and regret when they think of the past. There are also some subtle things. For example, when Xiao He returned to Yu County, she accidentally met Xue Lin, who had cultivated to the Five Internal Organs Realm and became the new head of the Xue family. The status between them has quietly changed.

Xue Lin looked down on Xu Hongyu at that time, not to mention the maids around Xu Hongyu, but Xue Lin, who is now the head of the family, is also not in Xiao He's eyes. When he met Xiao He for the first time, he bowed his head in fear.

Of course.

These things were only quietly circulated on the sidewalks, and no one dared to bring them to the table. After all, offending Xue Lin was fine, but if Ning He was offended, it would be difficult to find a place to stay in the entire Yuzhou.

There are not many people who dare to call Ning He "Xiao He" nowadays, and they all respectfully call her "Madam Ning".

...

Qixuan Sect.

Chen Mu quietly returned to the sect.

He did not rush back to the forbidden area to retreat, but first found Xu Hongyu, Xiao He and others, talked about the past, and gave some martial arts advice to Chen Yao, who had grown up. After accompanying everyone for a few days, he entered the forbidden area of ​​Qixuan Sect again.

Last time he entered the Void Dao, his consciousness was trapped in the empty and void land. After thousands of years, he returned after completely mastering the power of the Void Dao. It was a bit unexpected.

But this time, he was mentally prepared in advance.

"Let's start."

Chen Mu's eyes were as calm as water. After sitting cross-legged, he moved his mind and called out the system panel.
