Chapter 79

According to Bufan's memory, in the past, the passage of time in the Jianghu and the real world was synchronized, except that the day and night were reversed, meaning that daytime in the real world was nighttime in the Jianghu.

But now, the Jianghu has changed. Bufan was only away for two or three days, but when he returned, more than ten days had already passed in the Jianghu.

More importantly, this change happened silently, leaving Bufan in awe of the grand design of the Jianghu's creators.

"Little friend Bufan, there is something I am not sure whether I should say or not!" Suddenly, the head of the Mu Island looked at Bufan and said softly.

"Island Lord, please speak freely!" Bufan bowed and said solemnly.

"If my guess is correct, you should be a reincarnation from beyond the heavens, right?" The head of the Mu Island suddenly stared intently at Bufan and asked.

"Reincarnation from beyond the heavens?" Bufan was slightly stunned, then suddenly realized. He was talking about the player's identity, but how did they suddenly know so much?

"That's right, I am a reincarnation from beyond the heavens. I wonder what advice the Island Lord has for me?" Bufan didn't think too much and decided to admit it straightforwardly.

Upon hearing Bufan's words, the heads of the Long and Mu Islands nodded in approval, then exchanged glances, seemingly making up their minds.

"I know that in this life, your reincarnated identity is somewhat lacking, merely a servant in the Bu Family Manor. Although the Bu Family Manor is a reclusive noble family, if we talk about martial arts heritage, our Heroic Island is no less. I wonder if you have considered joining our Heroic Island?" The head of the Long Island said.

At this point, the head of the Mu Island followed up, "Little friend, rest assured, we are not forcing you. Moreover, your actions this time do not count as betraying your sect. When the time comes, we will only need to write a letter to the head of the Bu Family Manor, and I believe he will understand. After all, the divine martial arts you have learned originate from our Heroic Island. In terms of heritage, joining our Heroic Island is also reasonable. Furthermore, if you join our Heroic Island, the two of us will personally take you as a disciple and teach you the martial arts of our Heroic Island. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Bufan was greatly surprised, not expecting the two Island Lords to make such a significant offer!

Unfortunately, Bufan still had to refuse, because he knew that compared to the Heroic Island, the Bu Family Manor had a much deeper foundation.

The strongest martial arts of the Heroic Island are the Tai Xuan Jing, but Bufan has already comprehended the Tai Xuan Jing. The other martial arts are merely what wise people of past generations have derived from the Tai Xuan Jing.

In contrast, the Bu Family Manor, aside from the peerless sword, has Bu Jingyun's Cloud Chasing Palm, the Sword Saint's Holy Spirit Sword Technique, and the martial arts that Bu Jingyun later created by integrating various martial arts, all of which are world-shaking techniques!

Moreover, the world of Feng Yun is actually a high-martial world. In the end, many martial arts are highly fantastical. While the Heaven Shifting Divine Technique and the World Destroying Demon God may not appear, the ten supreme martial arts in the Xuan Wu Zhen Jing might be set.

If they do exist, they would be martial arts that are not inferior to the War God Scroll!

Furthermore, after the Holy Spirit Sword Technique's 22nd move, there is the Heaven Destroying and Earth Shattering 23rd move. Although this move requires enlightenment, even without the 23rd move, the remaining Holy Spirit Sword Technique is still a supreme technique.

In short, the Bu Family Manor's foundation, when unleashed, is extremely powerful!

Seeing Bufan remain silent, the two Island Lords thought he was considering it, so they remained silent, waiting quietly.

Although Bufan had made his decision, there was one thing he had to think about: why did Bu Yanran and the others leave him behind!

Had they already reached an agreement with the Heroic Island?

"Two Island Lords, I wonder why my young miss left in such a hurry?" Bufan raised his head and asked in confusion.

Upon hearing Bufan's words, the two Island Lords revealed a bitter smile, clearly understanding Bufan's choice.

Since he still regarded Bu Yanran as his young miss, it was evident that his heart still leaned towards the Bu Family Manor.

"Little friend, don't overthink it. We are sincerely inviting you to join our Heroic Island. Without your consent, we will not reveal anything to the Bu Family Manor. As for the return of the Bu Family Manor's people, it is due to a major event that has recently occurred! Incidentally, this major event is also related to you!"

"Major event?" Bufan was even more puzzled, not knowing what major event had occurred in the Jianghu.

"Fifteen days ago, in the Imperial City of the Holy Capital, an imperial edict was suddenly issued, ordering all martial arts sects to seal their mountains for twenty years, and all martial artists of the first-class level and above must not leave! At the same time, they must relax their criteria for selecting disciples and make every effort to teach the reincarnated bodies of those from beyond the heavens! Therefore, many of the noble families' children in the Heroic Island have returned home to comply with this imperial edict!" The head of the Long Island said softly at this point.

"Holy Capital's Imperial City? But the imperial edict of the Holy Capital's Imperial City..." Bufan didn't finish his sentence, clearly understanding that even in the game, the Imperial City is not the only power. There are hostile forces from outside the domain and rebellious martial arts forces within the domain. Whether these forces would comply with the edict is hard to say.

"Little friend, you may not know, but this time it is said to be the will of the heavens. All supreme martial artists have sensed it. Not only the Holy Capital's Imperial City, but all major leading forces in the world have issued such orders. Those who resist are considered enemies of the world, and no one dares to defy!"

Upon hearing this, Bufan was greatly shocked. Was this to pave the way for a large-scale entry of players into the game?

Could it be that the system has decided to open the game on a large scale? The acceleration of game time, the restriction of many martial arts sects' power, and the relaxation of disciple selection criteria all indicate that this is preparation for a large-scale entry of players!

"Not only that, but according to what I know, the Holy Capital's Imperial City has further ordered that various permissions will be opened for those from beyond the heavens, including the management rights of many cities! So, in the future, the Jianghu will be the world of those from beyond the heavens!" The head of the Mu Island said with a sigh.

Bufan was silent, clearly understanding that this was the system's restriction on the original NPCs in the Jianghu. However, this was understandable; otherwise, players entering the game would find it difficult to make progress.

Just like the captain of the Yixiu team, who was killed by Bufan, several people were easily killed by the Bu Family Manor's maid, Xiangxue. Such a disparity in strength would make it hard for players to continue playing.

"Thank you for your kindness, two Island Lords, but I was born in the Bu Family Manor, and there are many of my relatives in the manor, so..." Bufan stood up, bowed, and apologized to the two Island Lords.

At this point, the two Island Lords smiled generously, waved their hands, and said, "No problem, little friend, you are overthinking it. We were just eager for talent, which goes against the principles of the Jianghu! Since you still wish to return to the manor, we will respect your decision. The island's boats can send you back to the shore at any time, but the journey back to the Bu Family Manor will be up to you after you reach the shore!"

"Thank you for your understanding, two Island Lords!" Bufan nodded gratefully. Knowing that players would enter the game in large numbers, Bufan naturally needed to return to the Bu Family Manor as quickly as possible. Additionally, he hadn't had the chance to check the final progress of the Tai Xuan Jing yet!
