103: Chapter 103 The Origin of Yindi Anzhou

Zhao Fusu wrote: "As the first Batulu of the Yin Shang Dynasty—that is, the general most capable of fighting—Grand Preceptor Wen's muscles had grown so much they reached into his brain."

"The army he led could have easily defeated the northern rebels, but the rebels were clever. Seeing they couldn't beat Grand Preceptor Wen, they took their forces and fled further north."

"And so..."

"He fled, and he pursued; they arrived at the northernmost North Sea."

"Even in the hottest part of summer, this North Sea still had a massive number of icebergs and ice sheets floating on its surface."

"Seeing that the muscle-brained Grand Preceptor Wen was still in relentless pursuit, the rebels had no choice but to continue fleeing."

"They fled eastward along the North Sea, sometimes eating raw seals and sometimes raw polar bears."

"Grand Preceptor Wen remained hot on their heels, likewise eating raw seals and raw polar bears, appearing incomparably fierce."

"During this chase, they stepped across the frozen surface of the sea, crossed the land bridge, and arrived at the Yindian North Continent."

"On the new continent, they continued their game of cat and mouse."

"As ten years flashed by, Grand Preceptor Wen and his party all became like savages."

"Grand Preceptor Wen finally gave up the pursuit and began retracing his steps. It took him a full five years to return to Zhaoge."

"It just so happened that King Wu of Zhou was launching his campaign against King Zhou of Shang."

"To protect the Yin Shang Dynasty, Wen Zhong had no choice but to lead his troops to Xiqi once more."

"Grand Preceptor Wen invited Zhao Gongming, a disciple of the Jie Sect, to descend the mountain and assist King Zhou of Shang."

"This Jie Sect disciple, Zhao Gongming, carried world-shaking treasures such as the Dragon-Binding Rope, the Sea-Settling Pearls, and the Golden Dragon Scissors."

"He stood proudly upon the battlefield, the Dragon-Binding Rope shimmering with a mysterious light, as if containing infinite power."

"When Zhao Gongming brandished the rope, it instantly transformed into a baring-clawed giant dragon, accompanied by the sound of whistling wind, charging toward the enemy with thunderous momentum."

"Once locked onto by this Dragon-Binding Rope, even high-level immortals of the Chan Sect found it difficult to break free from its shackles, left only to struggle bitterly under its confinement."

"The Sea-Settling Pearls were even more extraordinary; each bead burst forth with brilliant and dazzling colors, like radiant stars in the night sky."

"When Zhao Gongming threw the Sea-Settling Pearls, they transformed into countless phantoms in the air, leaving one dazed and mesmerized."

"Every Sea-Settling Bead contained immense power; wherever they went, space itself trembled."

"The high immortals of the Chan Sect cast various treasures and spells to resist, yet before the mighty power of the Sea-Settling Pearls, all resistance seemed pale and weak."

"Then there were the chilling Golden Dragon Scissors, with two flood dragons coiled upon them, emitting a heart-palpitating aura of malevolent slaughter."

"When Zhao Gongming wielded the Golden Dragon Scissors, the blades sliced through the void with a sharp, piercing sound, as if to cut the entire world in two."

"Every one of his attacks carried the momentum to destroy heaven and earth, leaving the Chan Sect immortals with nowhere to hide."

"Zhao Gongming's treasures left the Burning Lamp Daoist and other Chan Sect members completely helpless."

"Just when the members of the Chan Sect were at their wits' end regarding Zhao Gongming, the loose immortal of West Kunlun, Lu Ya Daoist, arrived at Xiqi, claiming he had come specifically to deal with Zhao Gongming."

"Lu Ya Daoist began to implement the Seven-Arrow Nail-Head Curse."

"He had Jiang Ziya build a platform on Mount Qi and construct a straw man. He wrote Zhao Gongming's name on the straw man and then performed three bows daily."

"On the twenty-first day, Lu Ya Daoist took out a Mulberry Bow and Peach Arrows. He instructed Jiang Ziya to first shoot the straw man's left eye at the start of the hour of Wu, then the right eye, and finally fire an arrow into the heart."

"As the arrows struck the straw man in Xiqi, Zhao Gongming, within Grand Preceptor Wen's camp, let out a great cry. His left eye closed, followed by two more hits, and he finally died within Grand Preceptor Wen's army."

"To avenge their brother Zhao Gongming, the Three Goddesses set up the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array at Xiqi."

"The Nine-Bend Yellow River Array followed the Three Talents and contained the mysteries of heaven and earth."

"If an immortal entered this array, their spirit would dissipate and their soul would scatter."

"If a mortal entered this array, they would perish instantly."

"The Three Goddesses relied on the powerful treasure known as the Hunyuan Golden Bucket to display great divine might within the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array."

"Yang Jian, Jinzha, Muzha, and others from the Xiqi camp were captured by the Hunyuan Golden Bucket one after another and pulled into the array."

"Next, Goddess Yun Xiao used the Hunyuan Golden Bucket to capture all Twelve Golden Immortals of Yuxu Palace into the array. She closed their heavenly gates, lopped off the Three Flowers atop their heads, and dissolved the Five Qi toward the Origin, destroying a thousand years of cultivation in an instant."

"Only Burning Lamp and Jiang Ziya remained in the Xiqi camp."

"The Nine-Bend Yellow River Array was too formidable; ultimately, the Primordial Heavenly Lord only managed to break it with the assistance of Laozi."

"Laozi used the Wind-Fire Cushion to collect the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, and the Primordial Heavenly Lord ordered the White Crane Boy to sacrifice the Three-Treasure Jade Ruyi in the air. It struck Qiong Xiao square on the head, splitting her skull, and her soul departed for the Investiture Platform."

"Laozi then used a box to trap Bi Xiao along with her bird, turning them into bloody water."

"Yun Xiao was wrapped up by Laozi using the Universe Map and suppressed beneath Qilin Cliff."

"Grand Preceptor Wen and Jiang Shang fought their final battle at Dragon-Ending Ridge."

"The Burning Lamp Daoist first used a ruse to lure Grand Preceptor Wen into Dragon-Ending Ridge, where Yun Zhongzi had already prepared the Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillars."

"After Grand Preceptor Wen entered, Yun Zhongzi activated the treasure with a thunderclap from his hand. Instantly, eight fire pillars rose from the ground, and over three hundred fire dragons breathed flames together, trapping Grand Preceptor Wen within."

"The Sky-Piercing Divine Fire Pillars were specifically refined to counter Grand Preceptor Wen. Their power was immense, successfully burning Grand Preceptor Wen to death and removing a major rival for Xiqi."

"After Grand Preceptor Wen's death, the Yin Shang Dynasty withered day by day and was eventually destroyed by King Wu of Zhou."

"King Zhou of Shang died."

"The remnants of the Yin Shang Dynasty fled far from Zhaoge. Led by Grand Preceptor Wen's former subordinates, they traveled north, crossed the land bridge, and arrived at the Indian Continent."

"The Indian Continent was named by these people."

"The meaning of the Indian Continent is that they came from the land of Yin and settled on this continent."

"The people of the Yindian North Continent are the remnants of the Yin Shang Dynasty, while those on the Yindian South Continent are the rebels of the Yin Shang Dynasty."

Zhao Fusu wrote over two thousand words in one go, using the style of a novel to introduce the origins of the Yindian North Continent and the Yindian South Continent.

Beautiful!

Zhao Fusu was extremely satisfied with this setting he had fabricated.

Once the Great Qin Empire Weekly was published, among Great Qin's thirty million people, there would always be those with too much time on their hands who would take this vertical map and retrace Grand Preceptor Wen's campaign route to the North Sea.

As long as these people discovered the floating glaciers of the North Sea, the seals on the ice, and the polar bears...

...then the story of Grand Preceptor Wen's campaign in the North Sea would be true!

Some might even be stubborn enough to want to go to the Indian Continent.

Once those great plains were discovered, Great Qin would begin the Age of Colonization!
