As the east turned white, Cao Xu had already come to the Chaoyang Terrace, found a place to sit cross-legged, and waited for the time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a while, there was a sound of footsteps, and Yue Buqun, who was wearing a purple robe, floated in.

"I've seen Master. Cao Xu got up and said.

"No need to be polite, sit. After Yue Buqun finished speaking, he walked to the open space next to Cao Xu and sat down cross-legged.

After Cao Xu sat down, he said: "Master's fellow practitioners' 'Zixia Divine Skill' and 'Qingyu Riding the Wind Technique' have a deep accumulation, and they are only half a step away from being innate. ”

Yue Buqun sighed with emotion and said, "Although it is only half a step, it is a world of difference. After the breakthrough of the Dingjing Master, the Hengshan faction had the confidence to be noncommittal about merging into the Quanzhen Sect. If it weren't for you returning from overseas and taking action in person, I'm afraid this matter would have dragged on until the Shaolin Temple reopened the mountain gate. By then, it's too late. ”

With the development of the Quanzhen Sect, Yue Buqun's martial arts gradually became uncontrollable, and he urgently needed to break through.

Cao Xu thought for a moment and said: "To enter the innate world, you must connect the twin bridges of heaven and earth. Among them, the ground bridge is real, and the sky bridge is virtual. The entrance of the overpass is the door of all wonders, and it is the channel of communication between the human body and the heaven and the earth, and it is difficult to say that it needs to capture a little spiritual light in the underworld. Therefore, today I invite Master to come to Chaoyangtai and practice a set of swordsmanship by taking advantage of the right time and place, hoping that Master can gain some inspiration from it. ”

As he spoke, Cao Xu stood up, drew his sword out of its sheath, and under the urging of his true qi, the sword body was vaguely shrouded in a purple halo.

At this time, a ray of light pierced the endless space and landed on Cao Xu's body.

Looking at the past from Yue Buqun's point of view, Cao Xu, who was dressed in the glow, became one with the great sun that slowly rose in the sky. The long sword in his hand danced, depicting the scene of the great sun breaking through many obstacles and sprinkling light on the earth.

At this moment, man and heaven and earth are one.

As the great sun gradually rose, the feeling of being one gradually faded, Yue Buqun seized the opportunity, let go of his body and mind, and fully absorbed the changes.

When the sun rose, Cao Xu returned his sword to the sheath and left Chaoyangtai, leaving only Yue Buqun, who was still meditating with his eyes closed.

All the way to the place where the sword was discussed at the top of Huashan, Cao Xu looked at the clouds in the sky, and quietly thought about the future of the Quanzhen Sect.

As the saying goes, three legs, two strong for hegemony.

When Buddhism was beaten down by Confucianism and Taoism, how could Confucianism and Taoism live in harmony.

Two tigers fought, one killed and one was injured. Buddhism's retreat today is not for the sake of a comeback in the future.

There is an inextricable relationship between Taoism and Taoism. The revival of Quanzhen Religion is also the prosperity of Taoism.

The competition between Confucianism and Taoism will be good news for the high Jiajing Emperor, as long as it is properly controlled, Confucianism and Taoism will become his eagle dogs.

But for Cao Xu, wasting his already limited strength in this kind of battle is a meaningless thing.

Therefore, the Quanzhen Sect must go out.

Jumping out of the quagmire of Daming, there is an infinite and vast world outside.

After several detailed discussions, Cao Xu and Yue Buqun finally reached an agreement.

The Quanzhen Sect has just been revived, and although it has developed rapidly in recent years, its foundation is still shallow and it does not have any conditions to resist the power of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, in the next few years, the Quanzhen Church will gradually shift its missionary focus from the Ming Dynasty to overseas.

After deciding the matter of the Quanzhen Sect, Cao Xu left Huashan and returned all the way to Ryukyu Island.

At this time, the island of Ryukyu was in the midst of a bustling situation, with countless people coming and going, packing up their belongings and preparing to move to Luzon.

"Xianggong, do we have to give up here?" asked Liu Jing reluctantly.

"Leaving today is in exchange for a broader future tomorrow. Rest assured, Luzon, which has been under construction for three years, will be better and more suitable for us to settle down here. Cao Xu said.

Half a month later, Cao Xu led the crowd to leave Ryukyu Island, leaving an empty Xinquan Port City.

Ride the wind and waves, crisscross the seas. It's a lot of pride when you think about it, but when you really come to the sea, the only thing you can feel is the vastness of the sea.

A few days later, when the horizon appeared in front of us, everyone in the fleet cheered in unison.

The arrival of Cao Xu and others was warmly welcomed.

The new city on the island of Luzon is called Sin'an, which is later Manila. It is a natural and excellent port, and after three years of development and construction, it is enough to accommodate the people brought by Cao Xu from Ryukyu Island.

Xin'an, that is, peace of mind. This place of peace is my hometown.

Emperor Jiajing took back Ryukyu Island without blood, and the government and the opposition applauded.

The officials and gentry along the coast were overjoyed, and they still won a big victory. It wasn't until months later, when their fleet returned from the sea, that they understood.

It turned out that the people had only moved from Ryukyu Island to Luzon Island, and although the station had changed, the toll fee was not less.

What kind of place is Luzon, many people spread out the chart and take a look, only to know that the original trick is a golden cicada shell, and the overseas shipping lanes are still firmly controlled by others.

Suddenly, they were all like frosted eggplants, and they couldn't be happy anymore.

Half a year later, Cao Xu commanded the fleet of Luzon Island, took the Strait of Malacca in one fell swoop, controlled the maritime lifeline of exchange and trade between the East and the West, and became a veritable king of the South China Sea.

However, Cao Xu, the king of the South China Sea, has never taken the last step.

Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has not cultivated the Tao, and the Son of Heaven has not cultivated.

Cao Xu would never dare to take this step until he figured out the reason.

In the blink of an eye, six years have passed.

Sixteen-year-old Lin Hao has also grown up.

Cao Xu directly threw the entire South China Sea to his son, took his two wives and youngest daughter on a boat in the South China Sea, and continued to look for the very likely existence of the Xia Ke Island.

Cao Xu's free life didn't last long, Yue Lingshan came to the South China Sea and invited him to the Central Plains.

Under careful questioning, it turned out that Yue Buqun, the true sect leader, was finally enough, or rather, after the Shaolin Temple was closed, in the face of a more complicated situation in the rivers and lakes and the court, Yue Buqun finally couldn't hold it anymore and had to hand over the power in his hands.

Of course, this is only an external factor.

Over the years, Cheng Bu Worry and Cong Bu have broken through the bottleneck and entered the innate realm on the basis of the wind blowing and ignoring the danger and impacting the innate many times.

Coupled with the fact that as a barrister of the Quanzhen Sect and the monk of Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain, the strength of the Huashan Sword Sect has risen greatly, and Yue Buqun can't withstand the pressure from the Sword Sect, so he can only choose to hand over the authority in his hands.

This is the internal cause.

The silent contest between Cao Xu and Yue Buqun's master and apprentice has come to an end.

As the sect master of the Sword Sect, Cao Xu, although he has not been in the mountain gate for a long time over the years, but with his martial arts, who dares to give birth to two hearts.

Cheng is not worried, Cong does not give up, and the wind is clear, and this kind of thing will not be allowed to happen.
