Chapter 5, Heirs of the Eagle's Edge

Has history subtly changed because of my presence? Not to mention anything else, but there has never been such a figure in Lao Huang's tumultuous world.

What I am wearing is the thin garment from Yingyuan, which surpasses snow in its beauty. This is the only tangible object left in this world by my master, transformed into flowing light and departed.

The Eagle's Fate did not pass on to me any specific techniques, but instead bestowed upon me the invaluable experiences of two lifetimes, granting me the complete memories of the Eagle and its Fate. It can be said that this is more captivating and alluring than any unparalleled martial arts.

There is no doubt that I have become an extraordinary master capable of contending with Pang Lang; what I lack is merely practical experience in real combat. However, having experienced the thrilling lives of the three great masters of Mongolia during the Battle of Chuan Ying has already allowed me to enter the ranks of top masters

It is truly hard to believe that there are such heroic figures hidden within the Ming army

As for myself, I possess not a trace of true energy; I remain the frail and delicate Yunwen. However, I have mastered the secret technique of "Swallowing Heaven and Absorbing Earth," created through the lifelong efforts of the Eagle's Edge. This miraculous method, existing between heaven and earth, allows me to absorb the forces of the universe at any time and place for my own use. With a mere thought, I may have an inexhaustible source of energy within me.

Under the guidance of my master’s unparalleled spiritual teachings, I have experienced the lives of him and the great hero Chuan Ying, their joys and sorrows, their sweetness and bitterness, their love, their emotions, their grievances, their resentments, shared in their successes, and equally endured their hardships

I have taken the place of the one standing by the stream

Dressed in lightweight soft armor, with tiger-skin battle boots on his feet, he carries a large, glossy black bow on his back. A cluster of gleaming steel arrows is arranged in the quiver hanging from his left hip, while in his right hand, he holds a curved saber upside down.

I felt a surge of happiness and, lifting my head to meet his gaze, sincerely said, "The young man also has conditions." From the eagerness in my eyes, how could the eagle not understand my intentions

Before I could speak, nearly one hundred Jingwei, bearing large bows and wielding sabers, had all dismounted in unison, kneeling on the ground and chanting "Long live, long live a thousand years".

In the distance, the sound of horses neighing can be heard

A man in his early thirties sits upright on a black horse, his cold and stern face revealing a resolute and extraordinary composure, with a pair of eyes radiating a fiery brilliance

I spoke with unwavering determination, exuding a spirit of ambition: "While the Living Buddha's words are indeed wise, every outcome has its cause; how can one know the result without trying? To support a crumbling edifice and to stem a raging tide, the final outcome is not what matters most; rather, what is important is whether you possess the perseverance and resolve to participate. If a person lacks a goal to pursue in their heart, it is akin to losing a beacon in the vast ocean; apart from drifting with the currents, what else can one do?"

My thoughts turned over countless times in an instant, and numerous ideas presented themselves. After a while, I nodded slightly and said: "In the coming years, the Ming Dynasty may face turmoil. With the outbreak of war, the people will suffer greatly, and many will be displaced. Although Zhu Yunwen wishes to remedy this crisis, he feels powerless to act. Meanwhile, masters like Xiang, who are detached from worldly affairs and solely pursue the Dao, show little concern for the plight of the suffering masses who are about to find themselves in dire straits."

The knife wielder saw my appearance from a distance, and the trace of disdain in his eyes gradually faded as he approached me. By the moment he waved his hand, the disdain in his gaze had transformed into astonishment. However, this unusual look was fleeting, and the former me would not have been able to perceive it.

His towering physique resembles a mountain, and his facial features are exceptionally handsome; however, the chilling aura emanating from his very bones reveals that he is an extraordinary individual with a will as strong as steel

A living Buddha, being knowledgeable about both the heavens and humanity, would not be someone who simply resigns to fate. If everyone thought this way, holding onto the notion of reaping benefits without effort and waiting for opportunities to fall from the sky, it is likely that humanity would have long since become extinct. What does the master think of this?

Yet everything changed with my arrival; in the moment when the bond between the eagle's edge and my memory became one, he finally glimpsed the secrets that lay beyond the shattered void and the empty library

Everything has fallen into chaos. I, the utterly useless Yunwen, am no different from a trivial character. Yet at this moment, I have become the successor of the Eagle's Fate. Who could have anticipated such an unexpected turn of events

Seven days later

To possess the memories of Chuan Ying is tantamount to possessing everything about him. Everything he knows can be found within his memories: the unparalleled bravery of venturing alone into the Palace of the Surprised Goose, the ambition to confront Ba Siba and Meng Chi Hang, the tragic determination to slay Si Han Fei amidst a sea of horses out of rage for a beloved. All of this feels as if I have personally experienced it.

The chilling aura that accompanied them swept over me like a storm; truly, they were the elite cavalry seasoned by countless battles. Just this aura alone was enough to instill fear and trepidation in their opponents

As for the form and identity in which the Eagle's Fate will appear in the world that rightfully belongs to me, I cannot say. Please pay attention to my other work "Rebirth of the Eagle's Fate"

By the brook, yet everything has changed and the people are no longer the same

The majestic and resplendent armored troops swept in like the wind scattering the clouds; this is the first time I have witnessed such an elite cavalry guard

On the majestic and jade-like face of the eagle, there was not a trace of emotional fluctuation; only the love for life in its eyes deepened by several degrees: "The affairs of the world are unpredictable, and cannot be altered by human effort. There is a predetermined fate in the dark; how can an ignorant child contend against destiny?"

There are indeed not many people in the capital who have not seen me, the one who flirts and dabbles, and the grandson of the *Tu* book.

I am not the least bit startled by the grim atmosphere before me; instead, I gaze directly at the leading general wielding a knife, filled with admiration.

To my knowledge, there has never been such a figure in the Ming army. Observing his stature and demeanor, the fierce and cold intensity he exudes undoubtedly marks him as a top-tier expert among the elite.

Eagle Edge truly deserves to be regarded as an extraordinary figure surpassing his father, employing unparalleled methods to refine my essence, while all I need to confront is the cultivation of my heart and spirit

As I experienced his life and that of Chuan Ying, he too experienced my life, feeling the brilliance of my existence and the impact that the twentieth century brought to him

No need to say more, as you wish. I did not expect that at the moment of breaking through the Great Path, I would accept a disciple, completely unexpected, completely unexpected, ha. " He laughed heartily again, looking up to the sky.

A squad of black cavalry swiftly charged up the mountain

Thus, we possess each other's memories; at the moment of my achievement, he also charged into the twentieth century with all that I am.

The only thing he has to do in this world is to continue the battle between his father and Meng Chi with Pang Ban. This is also the condition he mentioned.

At present, my Devouring Heaven and Earth technique is still in its initial stage, and the amount of energy I can absorb is still limited

Several zhang away from me, the leading swordsman raised his left hand high. At that moment, the iron cavalry that had surged forward suddenly halted, and that kind of effortless control once again opened my eyes to a new level of mastery

He turned over and dismounted, forcefully driving the knife in his hand into the ground to a depth of more than one foot

Haste makes waste; I do not need to worry about this matter at all

Compared to the legendary and tumultuous life of Chuan Ying, Ying Yuan seems to have stepped into a realm that is difficult for ordinary people to reach from the very beginning. Among all the classic secret records from beyond the domain, there are very few that he has not perused. From birth, he has followed in his father's footsteps. As he himself stated, he has inherited the most extraordinary essence of life from Chuan Ying, which is why he possesses the same innate talent and intelligence, perhaps even surpassing it. Before forgetting his martial arts, he was undeniably the number one expert beyond the domain, with even the formidable Hong Ri Fa Wang needing to avoid him.

In the sixteenth battalion of the Hongwu era, the skilled archer and cavalry officer Huang Jingtian paid his respects to the Emperor's grandson, wishing him longevity, longevity, and longevity. As he spoke, his tiger-like physique had already knelt on the ground

"Ha, what a conformist. Kid, if you can agree to one thing, the Eagle's Edge will grant you power." This extraordinary person finally revealed his imposing demeanor that looked down upon the world, his pair of bright, piercing eyes fixed on me without blinking.

The eagle perches silently by the ancient well, and within its gaze flows an endless light of wisdom: "In this world, what is there that is truly remarkable? My existence adds nothing, and my absence takes nothing away. You and I are merely a single grain in the vast ocean; how then can we hope to reverse the tide that has already surged?"
