Chapter 124: Xiansheng Grotto-heaven, Destruction
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the second year of the Rende Era, Great Jing prospered.
The New Year was coming, and the capital was bustling with activity. Martial Peak was also decorated with lanterns and ribbons as they prepared for the festive season.
The two great arrays of Longqi Mountain had been activated. The Spirit Awakening Formation allowed Longqi Mountain to be abundant with spiritual energy, and the Illusion Formation allowed Longqi Mountain to hide in the fog. Such a spectacle had also been widely spread by the commoners. However, they were already accustomed to the wonders of the Dao Ancestor, so they were not overly worried.
Jiang Xiu also came to visit Jiang Changsheng because of this. After ensuring that Jiang Changsheng was still here, he breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that his grandfather would leave and pursue a higher world ot martial arts.
Due to Jiang Ziyu’s death, Ping’an was sad and listless all day long. Jiang Xiu could only send him back to Longqi Temple. Jiang Jian was very excited to see Ping’an, and the two of them soon got along well. They often competed in strength, and Jiang Changsheng’s courtyard also began to become lively.
It was better to have a child at home.
Jiang Changsheng looked at Ping’an and could not help but sigh.
At noon that day.
Jiang Changsheng had nothing better to do, so he stood on the Earth Spirit
Tree and used the Limitless Eyes of Heaven and Earth to observe Xiansheng
Grotto-heaven. From the memories of the Universe realm expert in Xiansheng
Grotto-heaven, he found the various hidden locations of the experts in Xiansheng Grotto-heaven. When he had nothing better to do, he would peek at them.
After so many years, Xiansheng Grotto-heaven had yet to come. He was anxious for it.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that something was amiss.
The nests in Xiansheng Grotto-heaven were all empty. He looked at the Universe realm expert who tried to absorbed the luck of the world again and was relieved to find that he was still in the cave.
He had yet to run away.
Wait a minute, this person did not run because he wanted to absorb luck. Could it be that he would run after he finished absorbing it?
Jiang Changsheng began to search in the direction of Xiansheng
Grotto-heaven. After a long time, he finally saw the disciples of the Xiansheng Grotto-heaven. They had gathered on the northern coast. At present, there were hundreds of thousands of people and a large number of disciples were rushing over from different directions.
Huge ships could be seen parked on the beach. He had never seen such a huge ship in Great Jing. Perhaps the Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce had one.
No!
He could not let them escape.
Jiang Changsheng thought to himself. They thought they could just come and run as they pleased?
Once they ran away, it would be hard for them to become his leeks in the future!
Jiang Changsheng took a look and decided to wait a little longer. When they were ready to set off, he would kill them all.
Perhaps there were many innocent people in Xiansheng Grotto-heaven, but when the Universe realm expert from Xiansheng Grotto-heaven attacked, did they ever think that the citizens of the capital were innocent?
If he had died, more people would die in Great Jing!
On the day of the new spring, the Emperor invited the envoys of various dynasties to come to the Human Emperor’s Tablet in the palace to admire the style and appearance of Great Jing.
Night fell and fireworks began to set off in the capital. These fireworks were sold by the Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce, which piqued the interest of the people of Great Jing. After the Emperor witnessed it with his own eyes, he immediately liked it and ordered fireworks to be released throughout the city on the day of the new spring. He congratulated Great Jing on the arrival of the new spring and also let the foreign countries see the style of Great Jing. The envoys that came this time were from 23 dynasties, including a Luck
Dynasty, the Hongxuan Dynasty.
Jiang Xiu sat at the head of the table and looked down at the toasts between the various dynasties. He enjoyed the dance songs of the female singers of Great Jing. The atmosphere was cheerful.
“Martial Ancestor, Emperor Wen, Father… I will take care of Great Jing. You can watch from the sky.”
Jiang Xiu swirled the wine in his cup as his heart surged with emotions.
Two years after he ascended the throne, Great Jing was thriving and the country was prosperous. The people had a high evaluation of him. After all, before Taizong passed away, he had been in charge of the state affairs. He was already experienced and without Taizong’s suppression, he was even more bold and unrestrained as he displayed his grand ambitions.
When the palace was in full swing, Jiang Changsheng stood on the wall and took out the Sun Shooting Divine Bow.
When Jiang Jian saw the Sun Shooting Divine Bow, he trembled and asked excitedly, “Grandmaster, what do you want to do?”
He already knew that Jiang Changsheng was his grandfather, but Jiang Changsheng asked him to keep it a secret. Firstly, it was because he found it troublesome. Secondly, the other dynasties and sects did not know about this relationship, so they dared to be enemies with Great Jing after decades. In that case, he could reap more survival rewards.
The incense points could only allow him to transcend the tribulation, while the survival rewards were the foundation for his increasing strength.
Jiang Changsheng used the Limitless Eyes of Heaven and Earth, and his eyes emitted golden light as he softly replied, “The capital is so lively, so I’m here to liven things up.”
The Sword God looked at the Sun Shooting Divine Bow with a complicated expression. It was this bow that almost killed him that day.
Ping’an came to Jiang Changsheng’s side with a curious expression. He wanted to touch the Sun Shooting Divine Bow, but he was afraid of interfering with Jiang Changsheng.
Bai Qi was puzzled. Why would he use such a weapon just to liven things up?
Jiang Changsheng began to draw the bow.
Rumble—
Longqi Temple trembled, startling White Dragon halfway up the mountain. The citizens and martial artists in the capital were also shocked. Before they could react, a beam of light shot out from the fog of Longqi Mountain and streaked across the capital.
And there was more than one!
Jiang Changsheng quickly pulled his right hand and shot seven arrows in a row. The seven arrows tore through the night sky, making all the fireworks pale in comparison.
“Regardless of whether you are going to find help or escape, I am not someone you can provoke and let go of as you wish. Tonight, I will make you pay the price.”
Jiang Changsheng put down the Sun Shooting Divine Bow and thought calmly.
Seven rays of light that were a thousand feet wide made the capital seem as if it was daytime. When they disappeared at the end of the horizon, night returned to the capital.
In the palace, the envoys of the various dynasties were stunned. What was that?
Jiang Xiu laughed and said, “The Dao Ancestor should be trying to liven up Great Jing’s mood. That day, the Sword God was defeated by this move. Today,
I’ll let you see the power of the Universe realm. Do you know about the Universe realm?”
The envoys shook their heads one after another. Even the envoys of the Hongxuan Dynasty were puzzled.
Jiang Xiu began to explain the martial arts realm. When they heard that the Universe realm was above the Golden Body realm, the envoys turned pale with fright.
The Dao Ancestor of Great Jing was so powerful that they had never heard of his realm!
At that moment, they gave up the idea of competing with Great Jing, including the Hongxuan Dynasty.
Ordinary dynasties at most had True Gods, and there were very few of them. Even though there were those at the Golden Body realm in Luck Dynasties, they were still ancestor figures that had not appeared for dozens of years. It was rare to see them on ordinary days. How could they dare to confront with Great Jing when they had experts in the Universe realm, Golden Body realm, and the True God realm?
Fortunately, Great Jing was a trustworthy dynasty, so they were prepared to work hard to befriend him.
On Longqi Mountain.
The Sword God suddenly realized that something was wrong in that direction. Could it be…
He looked at Jiang Changsheng with fear. He understood what Jiang Changsheng was doing.
The world was really going to change!
“Hitting them from the south all the way to the north, if he succeeds… what realm is he at?”
The Sword God thought in disbelief. He could indeed regard this move as a martial arts technique. After all, he could see true qi flowing out of Jiang Changsheng’s body, which could only mean that the Dao Ancestor’s strength was unfathomable.
Martial arts techniques were mostly based on the use of true qi and had to be drawn out from the body. As for those martial arts techniques that did not cause a flow of true qi, he really suspected that they were immortal arts.
Since ancient times, techniques and forces that martial artists could not understand would always lead to immortals.
Jiang Jian asked curiously, “Are you not afraid of hurting people?”
Those seven rays of light were so huge that it was not difficult to flatten mountains and rivers.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I shot them into the ocean at the northern end so they wouldn’t land on land.”
That was the truth. Although the first batch of ships had left Xiansheng Grotto-heaven, most of them stayed by the ocean. Even if the arrows landed in the ocean, they would not harm the innocent dynasties or citizens.
How fast was the Sun Shooting Arrow?
The night sky in the northern region of Great Jing was lit up. Countless citizens witnessed this scene. The cities were in an uproar and the officials cried out in surprise.
Those hidden experts and martial arts sects who trained deep in the mountains were also frightened. They could not understand what the light was.
A celestial phenomenon?
Soon, the seven beams of light left Great Jing and headed north, startling the dynasties over there.
No one could know how many royal families, Chao Sects members, and peerless experts were frightened along the way.
Jiang Changsheng watched silently.
He noticed that other than the Universe realm expert who was still absorbing luck, the other martial artists from Xiansheng Grotto-heaven had already rushed to the ocean. That guy probably did not know that his disciples were about to die.
Jiang Changsheng deliberately left him aside to wait for him to absorb all the luck before killing him.
According to his experience, this attack should bring about a survival reward.
Even though it was not a disaster, it could be considered as severing karma. After all, he had once severed karma and obtained a survival reward.
In the northern region of the continent, the first batch of ships had set off. There were a total of nine ships in that batch, and there were more than forty ships docked on the coast. As a holy land that had been established for thousands of years, Xiansheng Grotto-heaven had more than a million disciples, and their martial arts realm was higher than ordinary martial artists.
However, most people still could not understand why they were fleeing.
“Why do we have to leave? I’ve never been overseas. Is there really a place for us to stay?”
“There must be. My teacher has been there before.”
“Alas, it’s probably because of the Dao Ancestor. It is said that an old ancestor went to Great Jing and died.”
“It’s just one person. What are you afraid of? Are there any forces in the world that can be stronger than Xiansheng Grotto-heaven?”
“You have no idea. The Dao Ancestor’s feats include turning beans into soldiers, moving a mountain 3000 miles away, and successfully praying for rain. Even the Sword God died in his hands. His strength has reached an unimaginable level.’
“Are you serious? Why is there such a demon in this world?”
The disciples on the beach discussed among themselves. Due to the large number of disciples, the crowd stretched for dozens of miles and was densely packed.
At that moment, they suddenly noticed a strong light behind them and the sky brightened. They subconsciously turned around, but before they could see what it was, the strong light drowned them out.
Night turned into day!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Seven light beams bombarded a radius of hundreds of miles. The nine huge ships that had sailed out were drowned by the first light beam. The ocean exploded and waves surged.
The Shooting Sun Arrows were too fast!
It was so fast that even the Golden Body realm experts could not react in time!
Within a radius of a thousand miles, it was as if it was daytime. Terrifying strong winds swept across the land. Forests were uprooted from the ground, the ground was cracked, and mountains were shattered.
The nearest city to the impact zone suffered from strong winds and earthquakes. Fortunately, Xiansheng Grotto-heaven was afraid of being exposed, so the place they chose was very remote. The nearest city was still four thousand miles away, so the Shooting Sun Arrows did not hurt any innocent people.
Jiang Changsheng was in the south of the continent. Looking at this scene, he thought to himself, “Don’t blame me for being cruel. Blame your leader for wanting to destroy my Great Jing.”
He only had one life, and he did not want to cause endless trouble in the future. It would have been fine if Xiansheng Grotto-heaven had stayed on the continent. However, if they were to choose to go out to the ocean, they might get exposed to a more prosperous martial arts world. At that time, what if an expert that far exceeded the Three Grotto-heaven realm wanted to crush him to death?
Just leave kindness to your people!
Jiang Changsheng observed carefully. After ensuring that no one had escaped, he was relieved.
His arrow bombardment had a wide range, and many people were killed by the blast.
At that point, other than that Universe Realm expert who was still absorbing luck, there were no other disciples of Xiansheng Grotto- heaven on this continent. Perhaps some disciples had already left the continent, but that could not be helped.
Jiang Changsheng was prepared to split up his body to move the inheritance of Xiansheng Grotto- heaven tomorrow. There were many natural treasures and martial arts resources that had not been moved away by Xiansheng
Grotto- heaven, so he could not waste them.
But tonight, he would wait for the survival reward..
