Chapter 21: The Unrivaled Name That Was Recognized

  The Kunlun Mountains stretch for 2,500 kilometers from the Pamir Plateau in the west to the Sichuan Basin in the east. The average elevation is between 5,500 and 6,000 meters above sea level, with a width of 130-200 kilometers. The total area is over 500,000 square kilometers, with the highest peak being the Kunlun Peak (also known as Bokula Peak) on the Qinghai-Xinjiang border, which stands at an elevation of 6,860 meters and is the highest point in Qinghai Province.

  The Kunlun Mountains are the basic framework of the plateau's landform and serve as an important natural boundary for Qinghai Province. According to legend, the mountain spirit of the Kunlun Mountains is the Queen Mother of the West, who resides at the "Jade Pool", which refers to the Black Sea, the source of the Kunlun River. The lake is located at an elevation of 4,300 meters and features crystal-clear waters, numerous birds, and abundant wildlife.

  The Wild Bull Gorge, which runs through the Kunlun River, features precious ancient rock paintings. Not far from the Black Sea lies the legendary site where Jiang Taigong practiced the Five Elements for 40 years. The Yuxu Peak and Yuzhu Peak are perennially capped with snow and surrounded by misty clouds.

  The Kunlun Spring, located on the north bank of the Kunlun River, is the largest non-freezing spring in the Kunlun Mountains. It forms a unique landscape known as the "Kunlun Six Months Snow" and features a large and stable water volume. According to legend, this spring was used by the Queen Mother of the West to brew an elixir.

  The Ge'ermu River, which originates from the Kunlun Mountains, has carved out a deep gorge over thousands of years, creating a steep cliff known as the "One-Step-to-Heaven" scenic spot.

  And the Zhēn Tiān Zōng is located on the north bank of the Kūn Lún River, at the Yuè Xū Peak! Over a thousand miles away, this is the farthest Li Yuán Bà has traveled in his life! Along the way, he ate the "Bà Wáng Cān" (Overlord's Meal), and asked for directions until he finally arrived at the foot of Mount Kūn Lún!

  "Damn it! How far is this place? We've been walking for almost half a year now! This ancient world is really unbearable!" Li Yuanba felt extremely suffocated, and he had forgotten to bring any money when he left home. He had no choice but to eat at the "Bull King Restaurant". Moreover, at that time, Qinghai was under the jurisdiction of Tuyuhun and other Qiang tribes, and wars were visible everywhere. The local customs were also very fierce, with bandits roaming around, and Li Yuanba almost got killed on his way here... With such a big commotion, Zhengtian Sect naturally heard the news too. A demonic king was killing his way through while inquiring about the location of Zhengtian Sect. One look at him and you could tell he didn't come with good intentions! The way messages were spread in the Jianghu world was very fast, like carrier pigeons or falcons. Cheng Zhi Xiong had heard that Du Lingyue, who had been away for a long time, had returned home two months ago, and had hooked up with Li Yuanba, who was like a taboo existence in the Li family... He had even taken his father and many men to go pick up his fiancée...

  Li Yuanba arrived at the place, and upon hearing this, he slapped to death those most arrogant elders, turned his horse's head and rushed straight to Du Fuwei's base - Huainan!

  Along the way, the tyrant's meal was heard to have arrived in Huainan, but the family had not yet arrived. At this time, the BMW was indeed not covered! Li Shimin's horse, which weighed over 800 pounds, ran faster than ordinary horses, and it was a high-martial world!

  Huainan's large camp was in an uproar that day! Li family's third son, single-handedly wielding dual hammers like a bandit, stormed into the camp to see the leader's daughter Du Lingyue! Tens of thousands of people were almost crippled... This was still thanks to Li Yuanba holding back his strength, otherwise tens of thousands would not have been enough for him to kill!

  Du Fuwei's gloomy face was almost bleeding, listening to the statistics of casualties below: "One million dead, two million seriously injured, countless lightly wounded! This is all going to cost half of our family fortune!"

  Looking at Li Yuanba sitting on the big horse and his own daughter flirting with each other, Du Fuwei felt that if he looked any further, he would absolutely vomit blood and die!

  He couldn't help but suppress his overwhelming anger, Du Fuwei cleared his throat and forced a smile at Li Yuanba who was sitting below him: "I'm telling you, Third Master Li is right?!!"

  "Hey, Father-in-law can just call my name directly, no need to be so polite! Right, Ling Yue?" Li Yuanba embarrassedly pulled Du Lingyue into the conversation, after all they came for a marriage proposal not to kill anyone...

  "Hmph! It's been over a year and you're just now showing up. If you were any later, I wouldn't have even seen you! And another thing, you come here and kill Father's subordinates right off the bat? I won't let it slide that easily! And don't call me Ling Yue, we're not familiar enough for that!"

  Listen! Is it really that girls are outgoing? My invincible army was crippled by Li's family, is it true as the nursery rhyme says: Peach and plum blossoms, empresses surround Yangzhou, winding in the flower garden. Don't talk nonsense, who said yes.

  Du Fuwei, who was slightly dispirited for a moment, raised his hand to stop the young couple's banter: "Li... Li Yuanba, right? Do you know that I've already promised my daughter to someone else? You don't have to say it, but do you know that the other party is already on their way here? Hmm, I don't care how you two met, since you're here, I'll speak directly! The other party is not someone I can afford to offend. If you really want to marry my daughter, you'd better settle things yourself first! Settle it and then come propose to my daughter..."

  Du Fuwei had just finished speaking when a report came from below: Zheng Tianzong, the leader of the Zhengtian Sect, and Shao Zongzhu have arrived outside the camp gate!

  "Xuan Ying has also arrived?" Du Fuwei gave Li Yuanba a complicated look and was about to get up to go greet him.

  A large hammer blocked Du Fuwei's path: "Hehe, father-in-law slow down, son-in-law will go and settle the matter now!" Li Yuanba laughed happily! After finishing speaking, he picked up his hammer and walked out. Du Lingyue wanted to stop him but was held back by her father!

  What's the difference between Cheng Xuan Ying being the number one master in the world and a half-step legend? It can be said that this is an existence that even emperors are not willing to offend easily! Take Yang Guang for example, under the protection of layers of troops, if it weren't for Yuwen Chengdu, he would have died from the sneak attack by the Turkic Khan Shi Bi! If it were Cheng Xuan Ying at the time, he would have taken Yang Guang's head off with ease and immediately escaped a thousand miles away, leaving no chance to be caught! If not for the great chaos in the world or having support that could rival the imperial court's power, becoming a legendary master wouldn't do such things because the people around him aren't legends! He also can't independently withstand being surrounded by tens of thousands of troops and would end up dying without a place to be buried.

  This is also why Li Yuanba became a forbidden existence in Jianghu after single-handedly killing 600,000 troops!

  Li Yuanba is now like a repeatedly used nuclear bomb. To those who have seen him with their own eyes, Li Yuanba is an existing taboo; to those who are half-believing and half-doubting, he is a deterrent existence; to those who do not believe at all, what is he?

  Cheng Xuan-Ying is a half-believing, half-doubting person. He's already semi-legendary, and for something that completely transcends his understanding, it's really hard to believe unless he sees it with his own eyes. Moreover, Li Yuan-Ba is said to be under twenty! There are concerns about this matter, but the fact that someone is going to take away his son's fiancée is something he cannot accept!

  In addition, his son heard the news and insisted on bringing him to pick up Du's daughter for her wedding. Cheng Xuan Ying had a special attitude of dealing with special situations quickly, and for the first time, father and son went to welcome the bride together in this particular era! On their way, they received news from the sect that Li Sanzi was heading towards the sect alone, and four peak elders were killed instantly as soon as they met! Later, Li Yuanba came after them... ... Cheng Xuan Ying and his son, who were not foolish, rushed to welcome Du's daughter before Li Yuanba caught up with them. Who knew that when they arrived at Huainan Camp, it was in a mess! It's bad!

  The father and son exchanged a glance, taking advantage of the guard's report to Du Fuwei, they led their men and ran away!

  Since learning that the four elders were instantly killed by Li Yuanba, Cheng Xuan Ying knew that Li Yuanba had become a forbidden existence in the Jianghu world and was someone he couldn't afford to provoke! The saying "old but not wise" is indeed true. It's said that people in the Jianghu world value their reputation, even if they know they're no match for someone, they'll still fight to the end! Otherwise, they'll lose face, and it will also create a huge obstacle for their own martial arts path, causing them to stagnate from then on! This saying is somewhat true, but some extreme theories are basically just foolish nonsense! For example: he knows that the power he's provoked is like the distance between heaven and earth to him, and with just one finger, they can crush him to death. Moreover, he himself is just a tiny thread! But his martial arts path is all about advancing bravely and never retreating! He knows that if he retreats, his martial arts journey will come to an end! So after a series of strange encounters, he stood at the pinnacle of martial arts and looked back on the past, sighing: "At that time, I knew it was dangerous, but I didn't stop my forward momentum. Otherwise, I wouldn't be standing at this peak..." The probability of this happening in any world is lower than the probability of encountering a traverser! There are also cases of counterattacks, but these all have preconditions!

  Cheng Xuan Ying didn't even think about it! Moreover, once you reach the realm of the Venerable Master, you will have a vague understanding of the future. After transcending the Venerable Master, your premonition of danger becomes clearer! He clearly felt that if they waited for those guards to return, none of them would be able to leave alive! Make a quick decision and leave!

  Li Yuanba arrived at the gate in high spirits, but only saw the tail of a large group of people from afar. "Damn! Running so fast? But I have to leave something behind!" Li Yuanba accelerated his speed, and when he was about 1000 meters away from the group, he suddenly jumped into the air and threw the large hammer in his hand towards the middle of the group with the force of his waist. Unfortunately, Li Yuanba had no accuracy, and the hammer fell to the ground about 10 meters away from the group with a loud crash.

  A nearly twenty-meter large pit made Cheng Xuan's team flee in desperation! How terrifying is this one person! This was thrown from a distance of almost a thousand meters, and it's still human power? Even if he missed, he could kill dozens of people. If he hit the mark, several thousand people would be able to withstand a few blows? Cheng Xuan didn't care about anything anymore, pulled up Cheng Zhi Xiong, and flew away in a hurry! Li Yuanba picked up the large hammer that was emitting hot air, and also lost interest in pursuing and killing: "This guy runs really fast! Like he's on an airplane, damn it, don't mess with me again!" He shook his head and walked back, with a flash of envy in his eyes.

  When Cheng Xuan-Ying returned to the sect, he immediately announced: Zhengtian Sect will no longer support any forces participating in the struggle for hegemony! After that, he went into seclusion and did not come out. Cheng Zhi-Xiong also disappeared from the Jianghu scene, at this time, the Taoist school opened a faint prelude in history...

  Li Yuanba once again becomes the topic of discussion under heaven, his name as the Invincible One is truly well-deserved!
