The Great Xia Dynasty’s administrative division roughly followed the structure of provinces, states, prefectures, counties, and villages. Their Empire was divided into 24 provinces, and each province was divided into many states. The large cities in each state were called prefectures, and below them were the county cities and villages… Although there were some administrative divisions with other names mixed in, each city scale was roughly the same.
The area where Zhou Jing and the others were currently located was the Jing State in the Lu River Province. The state capital was called the An Lin Prefecture, and it was rich and prosperous.
The few of them left the Wu Village and headed straight for the An Lin Prefecture.
There were many forests in the south, and the environment was complicated. The group sometimes walked on the main road, and sometimes on the forest roads. They were travel-worn, but they were not in a hurry to reach their destination.
Although he had caused a commotion in the Wu Family Village and would naturally be hunted down by the government, news did not spread quickly in this era. In addition, the bureaucracy was not very efficient.
Even though he was wanted, the portrait painted of him was too different from the real person. It was almost impossible to recognize him.
As for the so-called countermeasure, ordinary people would not treat ordinary wanted capture documents seriously. Unless there was pressure from the higher-ups, no one wanted to casually provoke a wanted expert. They could just deal with it casually.
For example, powerful people like Li Chun and the other two could still walk freely and even dare to go to the state capital. This was because of such an environment. It was possible to encounter people from the Green Forest and martial artists everywhere in the world.
Zhou Jing did not idle on the way. When he had time to rest, he would practice martial arts by himself. The basic tempering methods of martial artists and the Gale Path School of Thought were his main focus, and he also practiced many Mid-Level spear techniques.
Because of the apostle’s Purple martial arts aptitude and the help of the Accelerated Learning, his martial arts mastery was extremely fast, and his efficiency far exceeded his main body.
In just a few days, the apostle had activated the extraordinary system of [Martial Artist] and birthed the first wisp of martial arts aura, stepping into the first realm, the “Foundation”.
However, unless it was an especially urgent situation, he did not intend to easily release his Martial Path Aura. Otherwise, his characteristics would be too obvious. As soon as the future explorers of the main world entered, they would know that something was wrong with him.
However, it did not mean that he could not use the martial arts system. The martial arts aura could still provide attribute enhancement in his body. The first realm of the Foundation Establishment did not have many special effects and was very camouflaged. It did not seem much different from the current world’s martial arts.
......
In addition, after communicating deeply with Li Chun and the other two, Zhou Jing understood the martial arts and supernatural system of the current world. He had gained some information that was different from the information of the main world.
The martial arts of this world were no longer a secret. In fact, they were spread very widely. Even ordinary people could casually practice one or two moves. It was more like a skill that ordinary people could train in. It was not rare, just like fishing or planting vegetables.
Even if one did not know any martial arts, as long as they trained their strength and ate well, they would be able to strengthen their body in the long run. It would not be a problem for them to beat up two or three people.
However, to those who were truly proficient in martial arts, this was just a facade.
The current world’s orthodox martial arts system mainly focused on various moves. Learning a set of moves and often practicing them was the same as practicing martial arts. If one practiced it well, they could strengthen their blood essence and slowly cultivate Inner Qi. From there, their strength would increase greatly, and their martial arts would improve greatly. They would be stronger than ordinary people and could fight more than ten people.
Only those who had cultivated a mouthful of Inner Qi were qualified to be proficient in martial arts.
For example, Li Chun and the other two were all such martial artists. Such martial artists could be strong and weak, but they all far exceeded ordinary people… If put in another way, the three of them could be considered “elite units”.
It was said that the people of the martial world were best at this. They trained their internal strength all year round and could even move upwards or downwards vertically. They could also use Qinggong, or weightless techniques, which allowed them to jump on roofs and walk on walls. The power of all kinds of moves in their hands increased greatly, making them stronger than ordinary martial artists.
However, the Inner Qi of the current world did not have the magical performance of flying flowers, plucking leaves, and shooting out Force Energies. At most, it made one’s skills extraordinary. It was already very powerful to be able to deal with dozens of people at the same time. It was very rare for one to fight against a hundred.
Therefore, in the judgment system of the main world, it was still considered a low-level plane.
According to Zhou Jing’s understanding, although the Inner Qi in this world did not have any fancy effects, cultivating it would allow one to break the bottleneck of the supernatural realm, giving their physical fitness, which was at the limit of a mortal, room for further improvement.
In addition, what he was most concerned about was that the level of martial arts in this era had not regressed. Instead, it was stronger than in the early stages of the Great Xia Dynasty and had been improving.
In the outdated information of the main world, the Inner Qi of Plane D19 only existed as a rumor that few people in this world had mastered. However, it had been confirmed by the world now and was becoming more and more known.
Even if some martial artists did not know the reason, they could break through the limits of mortals as they practiced.
Using the theory of the main world, it meant that the energy concentration of this world was rising.
In short, this was not a world where the essence energy of the world was slowly declining, but a world where the essence energy was constantly growing. The supernatural powers would become more and more active.
If ordinary people trained themselves, it would become easier and easier for them to cross this supernatural threshold. If their martial arts continued to develop, the level of the martial artists would also become stronger and stronger. They possessed the potential to constantly promote their supernatural levels.
As for supernatural systems other than martial arts, Li Chun and the other two did not know much about them. They had only heard some countryside rumors.
There were many Daoists and monks in the world who traveled the world under the pretext of praying for wind and rain, drawing talismans to catch ghosts, reading fortunes, and so on. However, they were basically just deliberately mystifying themselves in order to collect some money. Such people were most commonly seen during festive or mourning events.
