Translator: 549690339
On Dongting Lake, within the canopy boat, a pair of eyes slowly opened, time in chaos, years full of vicissitudes.
Zhuanzhou dreams of butterflies, past memories, one scene after another surged to his mind, floating in his brain.
Little Yellow Village, Hundred Broken Mountains, a mountain dweller, a solitary butcher, selling himself into servitude and then defiantly drawing his sword, rallying cries in the forests and afterward walking the world alone, Defence Heavenly King, Peerless Master, founder of a nation, monarch of a golden age, spreading martial ways, carrying forth the past and forging the future…
“A lifetime!” “An era!”
“Three hundred years!”
Xu Yang sighed deeply as he stood up and turned to look outside the cabin, washing away the floating dust and powder, the boundless years had passed, and he had become that unremarkable old man once again.
In haste, a dream of three hundred years, who knows I am the martial immortal?
A lifetime, has ended!
Although a little hurried, a bit incomplete, on the whole, it was still considered fulfilling.

Martial Arts Scripture: Great Zhou Martial Scriptures
As the saying goes: knowledge is power, information is wealth!
In the world of Great Zhou, the reason why Xu Yang could develop Hundred Broken Mountains so swiftly was firstly due to the golden finger of the attribute panel and skill traits, and secondly because of the transmigrator’s insight, experience, and information reserves.
The transmigrator’s insight, experience, and information reserves helped him create a large number of low-cost, exclusive products, with which to open up the market, circulate goods throughout the lands, and accumulate massive wealth. Only then could Hundred Broken Mountains be managed, allowing him to collect martial knowledge from around the world, create the Iron Armor Blade Soldiers, and lay the foundation for a regal enterprise.
Hence, the importance of knowledge and information.
Xu Yang had long set his strategy, wherever Zhuanzhou dreams of butterflies would take him, to accumulate as much information as possible, to absorb the knowledge of each world, and to enrich his own potential and foundation.
Therefore, after the battle of Hundred Broken Mountains, though he had already ascertained the pinnacle of the martial path, suppressing the experts of the world single-handedly, he did not end the life of “Li Qing Shan,” instead, he boldly raised an army, vied for dominance of the world, founded the base of Great Zhou, and created a world of the martial way.
The power of a collective will always surpass that of an individual, and the operational efficiency of state organs is not something the martial world or sects can compare with.
As the Grand Ancestor of Great Zhou, he could mobilize the power of a nation’s citizens and talents from all over for his own use. With countless geniuses and grandmasters at his service, he could pool wisdom and learn from a variety of sources, and the efficiency and capability were beyond imagination.
That is how the Great Zhou Martial Scriptures emerged, a compilation of the essence of a world, the life’s work of countless prodigies and geniuses.
The Great Zhou Martial Scriptures are not merely a martial scripture; it is an extraordinary compendium that contains the essence of all domains in the Great Zhou world: cultivation techniques, martial skills, medicine, pharmacology, astronomy, astrology, Qimen Dunjia, Meihua Yishu, divination arts, formation methods, and the classics of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, along with various scholarly theories…
In summary, encompassing everything under the heavens, leaving nothing out!
Before coming to this world, Xu Yang was not an extraordinary person nor did he possess proficiency in any specialized field; he was just an ordinary, unremarkable office worker. If not for the golden fingers like the attribute panel and skill traits, survival itself would have been an issue, let alone any rise to prominence.
But now, after the accumulation of one world and gaining the potentiality of an entire world, his insight and information reserves have seen tremendous growth. Even without the attribute panel and skill traits that could turn the rotten into the miraculous, he could rely on his knowledge to secure a place for himself and even aim for the world.
The current him is no longer a mere transmigrator, but a master of the martial path, reaching the peak, achieving mastery, learned in ancient and modern times, integrating Eastern and Western knowledge – a grandmaster who concurrently practices the teachings of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, achieving accomplishments in many fields, even to the utmost pinnacle of exceptional talent.
This is what the world of Great Zhou, over three hundred years, has contributed to his growth and change, truly enriching him from his previous impoverishment.
Thus, the strength of Zhuanzhou Mengdie is evident, representing not just a path of a different life, but also the knowledge, information, frameworks, structures, and resources and opportunities of various worlds and systems.
The above is what Xu Yang has gained from this transmigration through Zhuanzhou Mengdie into another world.
Everything is so wonderful, with the only slight imperfection being the inability to breakthrough beyond the realm of True Gang and to advance the subsequent martial way and cultivation path.
In this Great Zhou world, it truly is a low-martial world; the realm of True Gang is the end of the martial path, with no higher power existing, and all those myriad celestial and divine myths are but empty and illusory, the figments of human fantasy,
This is also why Xu Yang suppressed and even destroyed the teachings of the Three Teachings Sects, these people are nothing but pure charlatans, useless, and they even hindered his spread of martial ways and promotion of martial system development; it was necessary to strike them hard, eradicate and sweep them away..
