Chapter 68 – Zhenwu Dadi
```
[.....Song Fan has just begun his journey on the Martial Path, and you send him out to gain experience.]
[.....You meet with Lin Manqing.]
[.....You reveal your identity as a reincarnator, and under Lin Manqing's extremely shocked gaze, you display your Supreme Golden Bones.]
[.....Through Lin Manqing's connections, you meet Master Xu, whom Song Chengshan mentioned.]
[After a conversation.]
[You learn about his background.]
[It turns out Xu Yougen was once a martial officer in the Eastern Palace, who followed King Qin. After King Qin was deposed, the civil and military officials of the manor were dismissed, and Xu Yougen left Qin King's Manor. By chance, he joined the Song family's Divine Might Army and became an officer.]
[Later, he left the military due to injuries. Because of his rich battlefield experience, the Song family had him stay at the Martial Practice Field to teach some battlefield combat skills.]
[You take the initiative to ask about push-ups.]
[Xu Yougen tells you that this simple body-strengthening exercise was something he saw in an ancient book.]
[You ask for the name of the book.]
[Xu Yougen thinks for a moment and says that it was too long ago to remember clearly because he saw this ancient book many years ago in the Eastern Palace's library. However, he doesn't remember the book's name, but he does remember the author, as it was signed by the famous True Martial Emperor from a hundred thousand years ago.]
[He tells you.]
[The True Martial Emperor was a figure not inferior to the Great Wei Founding Emperor.]
[According to records, over a hundred thousand years ago, countless demons came from overseas, ravaging the entire continent and causing chaos. In the face of humanity's peril, the True Martial Emperor emerged, leading the human race to unite and, after more than a decade of fierce battles, successfully eradicated the overseas demons. The demons now lurking in the Hundred-Thousand Great Mountains are the remnants of those overseas demons.]
[Afterward, the True Martial Emperor successfully established the first dynasty on the continent.]
[The Divine Martial Empire.]
[However, despite the True Martial Emperor's unparalleled might, he could not escape the relentless passage of time. Even with the help of numerous elixirs, he only lived for fifteen hundred years before quietly passing away. Before his death, he built a tomb for himself, named the True Martial Tomb.]
[As Xu Yougen recounts this, a hint of longing appears on his face: "Legend has it that this tomb contains countless heavenly treasures, elixirs, divine weapons, and martial arts manuals collected by the True Martial Emperor. However, no one knows where this tomb is located. It's rumored that there are twelve keys in the world that can lead one inside. It's said to be the True Martial Emperor's final gift, a present he left for the descendants of the Divine Martial Empire's royal family."]
["Unfortunately, after the True Martial Emperor's death, the Divine Martial Empire quickly fell apart. The noble families and sects rose in rebellion, bloodily purging the royal palace, and those twelve keys were lost amidst the chaos."]
["This is also why our Great Wei Founding Emperor harbored such hatred for the noble families and sects, as the collapse of the Divine Martial Empire was inseparable from them. Therefore, after founding Great Wei, he continuously sent troops to eradicate countless noble families and sects, ensuring our Great Wei's fortune endures to this day."]
[After a moment.]
[After digesting Xu Yougen's information, you ask, "Senior Xu, does that ancient book contain any other body-strengthening exercises?"]
[Xu Yougen nods, "Indeed, there are several others."]
[You earnestly request him to demonstrate.]
[Next, Xu Yougen shows you pull-ups, horse stance, squats, planks...]
[Your expression grows increasingly peculiar.]
[Because these exercises are so modern, you can't help but recall the Spirit Clan Paradise, where the voice from the stone tablet mentioned that Bluestar People often appeared out of nowhere tens of thousands of years ago. You suspect that this True Martial Emperor might be a transmigrator from Blue Star.]
[......You politely bid farewell to Xu Yougen.]
[......Under the protection of the old maid, Lin Qiushui comes and goes freely from the Yun Residence.]
[On the fifteenth day, the old maid caught the black-clad assassin again at the Cloud Moon Pavilion. This time, being prepared, the assassin didn't have a chance to bite poison and commit suicide. However, to your disappointment, the assassin mysteriously died on the way back to the residence. After investigation by the old maid, it was found that the Slave Seal had been detonated, shattering his soul.]
[On the seventeenth day, Lin Manqing decided to personally arrange your marriage with Mo Xiang.]
[You tell her about Lin Qiushui's situation.]
[Lin Manqing's expression freezes for a moment, but due to your Supreme Golden Bones status, she still smiles and says it's no problem.]
[On the nineteenth day, Mo Xiang arrives at the Yun Residence.]
[That night, you embrace each other as you sleep.]
[She chatters on about many things regarding marriage, her dark eyes moving in the darkness. Then, with a slight blush, she softly says, "Brother Chen Shi... do you know how to consummate a marriage?"]
[You fall silent.]
[You feel like a naive child in front of Mo Xiang, so you can't act too knowledgeable about such matters.]
[You say seriously, "Consummate a marriage? What's so hard about that? Isn't it just drinking the nuptial wine and then lying on the bed together?"]
[Mo Xiang bursts into laughter, a bit shy, "Brother Chen Shi, you're so silly. Consummating a marriage is about having children. It's not as simple as just lying on the bed."]
[You feign surprise, "Mo Xiang, do you know how?"]
[In the darkness, Mo Xiang's blushing face shows a mix of pride and bashfulness, "I do. The old maid taught me a lot before I came. Brother Chen Shi, you've never been with a girl before, so when you consummate with Sister Lin, you'll surely make a fool of yourself."]
[You stifle a laugh, about to tease her further, but Mo Xiang suddenly hugs you, her hot cheek pressed against your chest, her voice as soft as a mosquito's hum, "Brother Chen Shi... tonight... tonight I'll teach you how to consummate a marriage, okay? Just be gentle, and Sister Lin won't... won't hurt so much, and you won't make a fool of yourself..."]
[......]
[That night, Mo Xiang clumsily taught you some knowledge about consummating a marriage.]
[On the fifteenth day, you held a grand wedding at the Yun Residence.]
[Many people attended.]
[You received tens of thousands of silver taels in gift money.]
[Thousands of Spirit Stones.]
[You were overjoyed.]
[During this time, you earnestly requested Lin Manqing to keep the story of Journey to the West, which you told two years ago, from spreading.]
[Lin Manqing agreed.]
[And asked when you planned to break through the Spirit River.]
[Since you practice the Five Gates of Heaven and can't break through without reaching Jade Bones, you vaguely replied that you wanted to settle a bit more and refine your Supreme Golden Bones to perfection before breaking through.]
[Lin Manqing understood.]
[On January 28th, with great determination, you left the Song family, deciding to head to the Cursed Land, to wait in that village for the mysterious Middle-aged Man.]
