Ultimately, in the martial arts world, if you want to explain your principles to others, you still need to have a strong enough fist. These five top sects can only listen to his explanations because their fists are not as strong as his.
As for the Kongtong Sect, not only were their fists no match for his, but they also stubbornly refused to admit defeat, so naturally they vanished without a trace.
Two months after Li Boyang returned to Jinling, the news he had been waiting for finally spread throughout the martial arts world.
Abbot Wuxing of the Shaolin School personally went to the provincial capital of Henan and handed over the roster of Shaolin Temple's current martial monks and scholar monks to the government.
Shortly after Shaolin made this move, Quanzhen Sect followed suit, followed by Beggars' Sect, Emei Sect, and Huashan Sect.
As if by prior arrangement, all five top sects registered with the government within a short period of one month.
Such a move immediately attracted the attention of the entire Central Plains martial arts world. Among the first-class sects that can stand firm in the Central Plains martial arts world, there is no shortage of smart people.
The leaders of these top-tier sects immediately realized that all five sects had been personally visited by Blood Hand Butcher, and they sensed something amiss.
The martial arts world fell into an eerie silence. The constables of the Six Doors sensed a subtle change in the attitude of the Central Plains martial arts community towards them as they traveled the martial arts world.
The five top sects that were the first to register with the government seemed to become a trendsetter. A month later, to everyone's surprise, a wave of sects in the Central Plains martial arts world suddenly went to the government to register.
Just as various places were sending lists of martial arts sects to the Six Doors, he discovered a special sect name in the registered list.
Wudang Sect.
Zhang Sanfeng finally founded his own school of thought.
Seeing this scene, Li Boyang knew that his purge of the martial arts world was nearing its end. As long as the general trend remained unchanged and the Six Doors were kept in place to supervise, the rules he set were gradually becoming the unspoken rules of the martial arts world.
Days passed by, and two years flew by.
Two years ago, the five top sects took the lead in registering with the government. Over the past two years, sects of all sizes in the martial arts world have also completed their registration.
In the past two years, the martial arts world has been very peaceful under the suppression of the Six Doors, and the martial arts world in the Central Plains has gradually adapted to the three rules established by Li Boyang.
Two years have passed.
Wuqing, the head constable of the Six Doors, broke through to the Qi Refining Realm. After Wuqing's breakthrough, Li Boyang resigned from his position in the Six Doors, and the Six Doors will be jointly led by Lengxue, Wuqing, Zhuiming, and Tieshou.
This news was like a bomb dropped into a lake, shaking the entire martial arts world.
Two years ago, after Bloodhand Butcher visited several top martial arts sects in the Central Plains and single-handedly made them bow down, his status as the number one martial arts master was unshakeable.
As the number one martial arts master, his every move naturally attracts attention. The Six Doors can be said to have been established by Blood Hand Butcher, and it is now in a period of great prosperity. Why would he suddenly leave?
Some speculate that Bloodhand Butcher offended the current emperor and was therefore dismissed from his post.
Some speculate that Blood Hand Butcher has merely stepped back from the limelight, while still secretly in charge of the Six Doors.
Some speculate that Bloodhand Butcher retired after achieving his goal.
For a time, the question of why Blood Hand Butcher suddenly left the Six Doors became the center of discussion throughout the Central Plains martial arts world.
Everyone is expressing their opinions.
Although Bloodhand Butcher's unusual behavior was puzzling, all the sects in the martial arts world breathed a sigh of relief. Li Boyang was like a mountain weighing on the martial arts sects.
Now that the mountain has suddenly disappeared, everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief. It's obvious which is more acceptable: a Six Doors with Li Boyang or a Six Doors without Li Boyang.
In fact, Li Boyang's true thoughts were not as complicated as people in the martial arts world speculated. He simply felt that he had done enough, so he stepped down.
He had no interest in power to begin with; the establishment of the Six Doors was merely a bargaining chip with Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Now that the matter is settled, there is naturally no reason for him to remain in the Six Doors.
No matter how intense the discussions about Bloodhand Butcher were in the martial arts world, for Li Boyang at this point, the task of purging the martial arts world was complete, and the affairs of the martial arts world were no longer his concern.
It has been almost five years since the Six Doors was established. Although he has been running around and never had a moment's peace during these five years, his cultivation has not declined. The filamentous true energy in his body has liquefied considerably.
Although it's still a long way from complete liquefaction, this is something that takes time and can't be rushed. After obtaining the Tai Chi Divine Skill, the cultivation speed has increased by about one-fifth compared to when practicing the Nine Yin Manual.
At the current pace, it should take about three to five years for the innate true energy in the body to completely liquefy, at which point the calamity of lust will arrive.
He has been in the Wudang world for over ten years. Time really flies. In ten years, he has gone from the initial stage of Qi Refining to a level that is not much different from Qiu Chuji back then.
Now, he is quietly waiting for the provincial examination of the Ming Dynasty.
Before the Yuan Dynasty was overthrown by Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Boyang was already a scholar.
After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang still recognized the status of scholars from the previous dynasty, including those who had passed the county-level imperial examinations.
In other words, a scholar who passed the imperial examination in the Yuan Dynasty was still considered a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, and the government recognized him. Therefore, Li Boyang did not need to retake the examination to become a scholar.
He could directly participate in the provincial examinations of the Ming Dynasty.
The phrase "三元及第" refers to achieving the top score in the provincial examination (乡试) to become a Juren (举人), the metropolitan examination (会试) to become a Jinshi (进士), and finally the palace examination (殿试).
The provincial examination was held every three years, usually in August, hence it was also called the "Autumn Examination". It was held in the provincial capital (including the capital city), and all students of the province, as well as those who were students of the Imperial Academy, those who were students under the family tree, those who were students of government officials, and those who were tribute students, were eligible to take the exam. Those who passed became the Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial examination).
In fact, regardless of the dynasty, a Juren (a successful candidate in the provincial civil service examination) was already qualified to be an official. In some small counties, many officials such as the county magistrate were Juren.
The imperial examination was a competition among successful candidates from previous years, but it has never actually been held since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. In other words, the Ming Dynasty has never produced a true top scholar (Zhuangyuan).
Autumn is now in full swing, and there are only two weeks left until the "autumn imperial examinations" in August. Candidates from all over the country have already set off for the provincial capital.
