My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

The next instant.

He appeared beside the peach trees.

His aura began to weaken gradually, and at the same time, the golden radiance swirling around him also faded away.

Zhang Shunlong stood idly under the peach tree, looking up at the blossoms at its crown.

He seemed lost, muttering to himself.

"Compared with noblemen, we commoners are just a small ripple in the water when we die."

"But those with power cannot even bear a tarnish on their reputation."

"If there were no such thing as the powerful in this world..."

"There would be far fewer people like you and me, I guess."

As Zhang Shunlong thought this, his fingers began to clench tightly.

His gaze turned towards the direction of the capital city, and he took a deep breath.

It was as if he thought of something; his eyes lowered in contemplation for a moment, then slowly, he started walking toward the capital city.

"Let\'s go see the Princely Heir. This Princely Heir has been kind to me, and I ought to repay this kindness."

Zhang Shunlong walked slowly toward the capital city.

With each step, his aura diminished a bit more.

By the time he re-entered the capital, his aura was as faint as that of a weak scholar, barely distinguishable from an ordinary man.

Even if Zhang Shunlong were to appear before Emperor Zhou at this time, unless Emperor Zhou looked closely at his face, he would not believe that this frail scholar, whose aura was faint, was actually the peerless warrior who, like a deity, had just burst into the capital alone and suppressed the Prime Minister single-handedly.

Zhang Shunlong lifted his hand and examined it, feeling an extraordinary heaviness in his body, as if shackles had been placed upon him; he shook his head with a wry smile.

"If I hadn\'t been in such a rush, using the memories and the merit from my previous life, I could have cultivated to the Heavenly Human Realm in just a few years. But now that the merit is exhausted, it won\'t be so easy to return to the Heavenly Human Realm."

Zhang Shunlong spoke, and then again looked up at the sky.

"As the heavens and earth turn, another cycle begins. All the gods are dead, yet it\'s I, a mere soil guardian, who have survived..." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Zhang Shunlong murmured, his expression showing a hint of desolation.

He walked slowly toward Duke Zhen\'s Mansion. Standing in front of the mansion and looking at the Entrance Hall, which was many times more imposing than that of the Prime Minister\'s Mansion, his feelings were mixed.

People like the Town-Nation Duke\'s Heir, who reached the pinnacle of power in Great Zhou, turned out to be so sincere and gentlemanly. In stark contrast to Lin Yunzhen, whose status and power fell short of the Duke\'s Heir\'s, yet acted arrogantly and despotically.

Guards at the entrance of Duke Zhen\'s Mansion saw Zhang Shunlong in his plain clothes. Just as they were about to chase him away, they inexplicably felt that his gaze was not that of an ordinary civilian but was unfathomably calm.

A single glance at Zhang Shunlong made the guards feel a momentary breathlessness, sensing an indescribable pressure.

Zhang Shunlong said to the guards, "I am here to see the Princely Heir."

The guards exchanged looks, and after a brief inquiry, realizing this person seemed to be acquainted with the Princely Heir, they escorted Zhang Shunlong to the Million Specie Garden.

At this time, inside the Million Specie Garden.

Cheng Guang was in his bedroom, examining the reward he had just received for completing a task.

The reward for befriending Zhang Shunlong seemed ordinary, but its effect was presumably notable.

Prosperity of Martial Arts, understanding of Dao lasts for three hours.

It appears to be some kind of buff.

Cheng Guang stroked his chin, pondering, then with a thought, he spoke in his mind to the system:

"System, claim the reward."

The moment the words were formed in his heart, Cheng Guang felt mysterious forces arising within him.

At the same time, he noticed his thoughts becoming much sharper, and many principles that had previously eluded him suddenly became clear.

Just pondering a moment, he found that the progression of his Heavenly Gang Star Fight, which had been somewhat slow, seemed to surge forward in an instant.

A flood of information poured into Cheng Guang\'s mind.

In just a short while, Cheng Guang felt that his Heavenly Gang Star Fight had advanced past the initial understanding to the Application stage, and he was not far from Ascending to the next realm.

The Prosperity of Martial Arts buff was extraordinary.

If this buff, which lasted for three hours, could push his Heavenly Gang Star Fight to the point of Ascending or even to Perfect, then he could move into the Divine Power Realm and possibly even reach the Prime God Realm later on.

Cheng Guang felt a slight joy in his heart, pushed open the door and began training in the courtyard.

His body moved.

Each gesture was imbued with a hint of enlightenment.

The understanding of Heavenly Gang Star Fight was rapidly improving.

Qi surged around Cheng Guang, making the starlight float around him as if forming a dazzling milky way.

As his body expanded and contracted, his Qi and Blood grew stronger and the Qi inside him became exceedingly dense.

Suddenly, Cheng Guang felt a sensation.

His body paused.

The Martial Arts of the Heavenly Gang Star Fight seemed to transform into streams of light, flowing through his mind, converging bit by bit within his Purple Mansion.

Turning into a complex, obscure Divine Power Mark.

Divine Power Realm!

Cheng Guang felt a thrill in his heart; just having reached the Application stage of the Heavenly Gang Star Fight had catapulted his cultivation to the Divine Power Realm. If he could continue to understand more, could he not break through to the Prime God Realm?

Cheng Guang was hopeful, unwilling to stop, and continued his cultivation.

At the same time, he also began to cultivate the God Emperor Cultivation Method, visualizing the True Lord of Pure Origin Painting in his mind.

Though this system reward was named Prosperity of Martial Arts and could enhance his understanding of Martial Cultivation, it was similarly useful for other cultivation methods of the Spirit Dao.
