Under the strong insistence of Lu Chen, no one was allowed to accompany him; he wanted to face this predicament alone.
The moment Lu Chen finished making arrangements, he stepped out alone, this time without even bringing the Treasure Guardian Beast. Upon arriving at the Five Element Sect, Lu Chen met with the senior members, including various elders and reclusive elders.
In front of the Supreme Emperor and those elders, Lu Chen made his statements clear and publicly exposed Yin Boqing's misdeeds, including what had happened between him and the Azure Field Matriarch in the past. He revealed how ungrateful Yin Boqing had been and how he had treated him poorly, committing acts such as murder to silence others. As Lu Chen's words echoed in the hall, everyone was shocked because they had never imagined that the dignified Young Sovereign, Yin Boqing, could be such a person. They were all taken aback.
Yin Boqing was usually taciturn and aloof, rarely speaking except when dealing with sect affairs.
However, this was not important. After exposing Yin Boqing's misdeeds, Lu Chen anticipated that some would doubt his words.
He was prepared for various forms of disbelief and even rebuttals. Since he had come forward, he was not afraid of anyone disbelieving him. Moreover, to put it bluntly, did Lu Chen need everyone to believe him? Clearly not.
Next came the confrontation between Lu Chen and Yin Boqing. Up until now, Lu Chen's status was still within the Five Element Sect, so in a sense, he was still a member of the sect and could come and go freely without fear of being questioned. He publicly severed his master-disciple relationship with Yin Boqing. Although this meant he took the initiative to end their relationship and might be scorned by others, becoming a target of criticism.
But Qin Nan was already prepared; no matter what consequences arose, he had imagined them all before and thus found them less daunting.
What followed was the decisive battle. Before Lu Chen could finish speaking, Yin Boqing became furious and launched a fierce attack on Qin Nan. The ruthlessness of his methods was beyond what ordinary people could imagine, yet no one from the Five Element Sect intervened; even the Supreme Emperor remained silent.
At this point, Lu Chen was no longer afraid of the Supreme Emperor or Yin Boqing because he had subtly established a connection with the Yin Yang Gate. Regardless of what he did within the Five Element Sect, there would ultimately be people from the Yin Yang Gate to clean up afterward. The Five Element Sect belonged to the Taoist Sect as well, meaning it could be controlled by the Yin Yang Gate. In certain situations where the Yin Yang Gate needed manpower, they could directly draw from the Four Great Sects as needed.
The decisive battle between Lu Chen and Yin Boqing took place at Gate Peak and lasted for several hours. In the end, after nearly losing his life, Lu Chen finally defeated Yin Boqing. By that time, he was physically weakened to the point where standing became very difficult. Many were waiting to see his downfall because daring to confront Yin Boqing placed an immense burden on Lu Chen; it was undoubtedly a provocation against the authority of the Five Element Sect. Especially after he defeated Yin Boqing with his last bit of strength, he became hated by many of Yin Boqing's supporters who clamored to eliminate him.
Lu Chen looked at Yin Boqing's shattered Yin Spirit in the sky and smiled broadly; with Yin Boqing dead, he fulfilled another wish. At that moment, he discovered that his Yin Spirit cultivation had mysteriously reached Void Immortal Level Six. This was clearly due to his thoughts being clear; he had become a master at Void Immortal Level Six. However, at this moment, many sought to kill him.
Because Lu Chen killed Yin Boqing, it ignited countless disciples' fury within the Five Element Sect. Several disciples rushed forward to attack Lu Chen while those high-ranking members of the Five Element Sect did not intervene; even the Supreme Emperor did not step in to stop them.
Their current attitude seemed to tacitly approve of such ambushes against Lu Chen while he was vulnerable because Lu Chen had indeed killed the Young Sovereign of the Five Element Sect and provoked its authority. No matter how many strong reasons he had for doing so, that fact could not be overlooked.
The high-ranking members of the Five Element Sect watched as a group of disciples rushed forward, preparing to attack Lu Chen. Lu Chen simply smiled, looking at these people; he was no longer afraid of anything. What did death matter? Because Yin Boqing stood in front of him, he felt no regrets. As for the Daiwa Dynasty, although there were still many unfinished matters, they had all been entrusted to Lian Chengbi, Lu Chen's proud disciple. He would help Lu Chen complete his tasks and fulfill his wishes.
At a critical moment, dark clouds gathered in the sky, just like those during the decisive battle at the Wind Blinder Archipelago. Soon after, a beam of light split the clouds, and Essence flew in, taking Lu Chen away. It was as if he was conveying a message to Lu Chen while also delivering a strand of intention to the Supreme Emperor, making an explanation.
Although Yin Yang Gate was stronger than Five Element Sect, the Supreme Emperor still needed to give a heads-up for such actions; otherwise, he would be seen as acting recklessly and could be labeled as doing whatever he pleased. Even though he was the leader of Yin Yang Gate and the foremost figure of the Taoist Sect, such a label was one he could not bear. Subsequently, amidst the astonished gazes of the Five Element Sect members, Lu Chen was taken away by Essence. The most silent among them were the Supreme Emperor and several unfathomable Mysterious Elders who had not shown themselves throughout. This could be seen as their tacit agreement.
Afterward, Lu Chen spent over a month recuperating in a pool called Blood Transformation Pool within Yin Yang Gate before regaining his peak strength. He then bid farewell to Essence and others and returned to the Daiwa Dynasty.
When everyone saw Lu Chen, they were incredibly excited. Although it had only been a little over a month since they last saw him, it felt like ten or even a hundred years had passed.
However, they were not overly anxious because they had heard rumors about what happened at Five Element Sect: Yin Boqing had fallen in battle, and at the critical moment when Lu Chen was on the brink of death, he was taken away by Essence from Yin Yang Gate. From that moment on, they knew that Lu Chen would be safe; it was a form of assurance. Finally, after their prayers, Lu Chen returned to Daiwa Dynasty over a month later, and everyone was very happy. At this time, there was less than a few days until the westward expedition of Daiwa Dynasty.
Then, amidst celebrations, the army raised their flags and began their march westward. Under the leadership of Lu Chen and Lian Chengbi, they split into two routes and first raided from behind, gradually advancing toward Chongzhou, the headquarters of Qi Kingdom. During this period, Yin Yang Gate did not intervene again. While Lu Chen recuperated at Yin Yang Gate's headquarters, he reached an understanding with Essence: Central Plains must be unified, and Great Qi Dynasty did not qualify to be considered legitimate; fate did not dictate it that way.
Essence did not wish to go against this understanding or fate's arrangements; thus, they ultimately reached an agreement with Lu Chen that Yin Yang Gate would no longer interfere in matters concerning Great Qi Dynasty. They also retrieved State Axe to express their final stance.
As a result, in the following time, the Daiwa Dynasty's army advanced smoothly and soon reached Chongzhou. After more than ten days, King of Qi Huangfu Yi committed suicide, and Chongzhou officially fell into Daiwa Dynasty's hands.
In the subsequent time, Lu Chen sent people to take over Chongzhou and manage the territories of Qi Kingdom's northeastern five states as well as handle prisoner reception and other affairs.
Afterward, Daiwa Dynasty's Iron Hooves did not stop but continued southward before turning westward to begin their campaign against Korea. Thus began the countdown for unification of Central Plains; it was drawing ever closer.
In less than three months' time, Daiwa Dynasty's army crossed Killing Green Mountain Range and officially entered Western Seven States territory to commence their plundering.
The subsequent steps went much more smoothly because Daiwa Dynasty's legitimacy had already become established; all prominent figures in the cultivation world had predicted this fact. If it had happened earlier, they might not have foreseen it; now that they had realized it, they acknowledged their weakness and inability to fight back and thus resigned themselves to fate. This included Eastern Shaolin Temple; they dared not oppose this sentiment or challenge this outcome. When Korea fell into difficulties—even when armies passed near Eastern Shaolin Temple—they showed no response at all.
Not long after, Korea fell, and Chu Mang was escorted to Baiyang City, where he was imprisoned for life.
At this point, the unification of the Central Plains was officially completed, and the Daiwa Dynasty relocated its capital from the Great Zhou Dynasty to suppress the largest Dragon Vein on the Central Plains.
During the relocation process, an internal incident occurred within the Sun Family, where several princes conspired to rebel in an attempt to seize power. Fortunately, Lu Chen discovered this in time, and the matter was subsequently covered up without any public announcement.
The princes who rebelled died in a fierce resistance due to Flowing Arrow and succumbed to their injuries. This incident served as a baptism for the Daiwa Dynasty. Lu Chen had long realized that the establishment of the Daiwa Dynasty and its relocation would not go smoothly. Now it seemed that the calamity had passed, and it was time to welcome an era of peace and prosperity.
Secondly, Lu Chen died unexpectedly, and the entire nation mourned him. He was honored with a state funeral and buried in the Killing Green Mountain Range in the Southwest.
This place was where Lu Chen began his journey, and he had an inseparable bond with the Killing Green Mountain Range, so his body was buried there after his death.
About a decade later, there were reports of someone seeing Lu Chen in Yushan Kingdom at Heishuiguan, leading Princess Yuanzheng, Huangfu Xun, and Chu Yuzhu. They appeared as a group of deceased individuals but were never heard from again.
The Daiwa Dynasty then entered a period of prosperity lasting nearly six hundred years, unparalleled in history, with no one ever able to surpass it.
