“I won’t be going.”
Jiang Changsheng shook his head. He did not need the blood of an auspicious
Deast.
Yu Yanyi felt somewhat regretful, but she could not force it. Soon, she left.
Jiang Jian looked at the Sword God and asked curiously, “Are there many auspicious beasts like Baize?”
The Sword God was already more than four hundred years old and was knowledgeable, so he often listened to the Sword God’s stories about the continent.
The Sword God answered, “Not many. In the past, there was many, but they gradually decreased in numbers. Legend has it that ten thousand years ago, this was the homeland of the auspicious beasts. Later on, when the ancient humans crossed the ocean, the number of auspicious beasts began to decrease. Of course, this is only one of the legends. Many legends are hard to distinguish between real and fake. But now, it is a fact that auspicious beasts are rarely seen in a hundred years, which is why it has caused martial artists to go crazy.”
Jiang Jian asked curiously, “How powerful is the most powerful auspicious beast?”
The Sword God rolled his eyes and said, “How would I know?”
Jiang Changsheng was also interested and asked in his heart, “Within the known range of the system, how powerful is the most powerful auspicious beast?”
[Requires 1,000,000 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]
NO!
So outrageous?
It had also reached the Three Grotto-heaven realm?
However, it should not be on this continent. After all, the strongest existence on this continent other than him was only worth 90,000 incense points.
“How strong am I among martial artists?”
[Requires 1,500,000 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]
NO!
Fortunately, he was also improving.
Jiang Changsheng thought silently.
It had been 34 years since he broke through to the seventh level of the Dao Technique. Even though he did not continue to break through, his strength had been increasing.
For every breakthrough in the Dao Technique, his strength would increase explosively. The sixth level was comparable to the Universe realm, and the Universe realm was equivalent to 10,000 incense points. In other words, from the sixth to the seventh level, the incense points would increase by a hundredfold.
The eighth level should also be worth a hundred times higher than the seventh level, which was 100 million?
It was really scary.
No wonder he could not sense any signs of breakthrough for the time being. “How powerful is the strongest person in this continent other than me?” After so many years, that person might have improved.
[Requires 100,000 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]
NO!
It was not bad to improve by 10,000 incense points.
Jiang Changsheng thought of the Ancient God Continent and asked in his mind again.
“How powerful is the strongest expert in the Ancient God Continent?” He would ask every month, but he had not been able to get an answer before.
[Requires 1,600,000 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]
NO!
Hmm?
That person was actually worth 100,000 more incense points than him…
Jiang Changsheng frowned. Fortunately, the Ancient God Continent was far away from him and could not threaten him.
“How strong is the strongest expert within the known range detected by the system?”
Jiang Changsheng asked internally.
[Requires 2,000,000 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]
NO!
That was outrageous.
Fortunately, the gap between them was not huge. Even if he could not defeat them, he could still escape. Moreover, the other party did not have any motive or reason to find trouble with him for the time being.
Jiang Changsheng sighed with emotion. However, on second thought, he had only cultivated for a hundred years. The other party must be an old monster who had cultivated for hundreds of years or even longer. This martial arts world was not a normal martial arts world, but a fantasy martial arts world. The martial arts world was so huge that there must be unimaginably strong martial artists.
Martial arts pursued the strength of one’s physique. However, they did not cultivate the soul, so they also had a limit on one’s lifespan. All martial arts focused on true qi. Without the profundity of Divine Power, it was inferior to the Immortal Dao.
Jiang Changsheng used 34 years to cultivate from 1 million to 1.5 million incense points. In another 30 years, wouldn’t he surpass the current strongest expert?
Even if the other party had improved, they should not be as fast as him. At most, he would cultivate for another few decades.
Furthermore, the system’s detection range was huge. As long as he did not leave the continent, he would still be invincible.
It was easy to encounter powerful enemies if one changed their location easily. It was better to hide in Great Jing and develop in a low-key manner.
Jiang Changsheng thought of the overseas backer of Xiansheng Grotto- heaven.
The last time he asked, the strongest force Xiansheng Grotto- heaven could invite had reached 520,000 incense points. That was the overall strength of the force. He wondered how powerful they were right now.
“How powerful is the strongest force Xiansheng Grotto-heaven can invite?”
[Requires 490,000 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]
NO!
Why did the points drop by 20,000 incense points?
Could it be that they were in trouble?
In other words, the strongest potential enemy was 490,000 incense points. Furthermore, it was an entire force that Jiang Changsheng could suppress alone.
Xiansheng Grotto-heaven had been destroyed, so the other party must not know about it for the time being. However, knowing that Xiansheng Grotto-heaven had been collectively destroyed, this force should not dare to come. At the very least, they would not come for the sake of Xiansheng Grotto-heaven. Otherwise, how could it be considered severing karma?
The only variable was that Great Sage. In the memories of the previous
Universe realm expert, there were three Universe realm experts in Xiansheng Grotto-heaven. Other than him, one was the Sage Slaughter who was absorbing luck, and the other was the previous Sage, their senior brother, the Great Sage.
Decades ago, in order to surpass the Universe realm, the Great Sage left the continent and went overseas.
Jiang Changsheng silently thought that he absolutely could not leave this continent and should just stay in the beginner village as an overlord.
In the fourth year of the Rende Era, the Emperor gathered millions of troops and left the outer nine provinces. As they headed north, the continent was in an uproar.
Unexpectedly, the seemingly gentle new emperor also had a belligerent heart. Some denounced him, while others supported him. However, the Holy Decree had been set and could not be reversed.
Compared to Jiang Ziyu, Jiang Xiu was not that ruthless. If Jiang Ziyu were here, he would definitely make the objections disappear.
On this night.
Jiang Changsheng sent another dream to Mu Lingluo. He would send her a dream every month. He could not visit her in her dreams every night, as that would delay his cultivation.
The dreamland was a spacious courtyard. The nearly eleven-year-old Mu Lingluo had grown a lot taller, and she was still wearing a white robe suitable for martial arts.
Jiang Changsheng stood at the door and watched quietly.
This girl’s speed was comparable to that of a Heaven Arrival realm expert, but he did not know if her strength had reached that level.
An eleven-year-old Heaven Arrival realm expert, tsk tsk, was this the talent exchanged for 300,000 incense points?
Jiang Changsheng sighed internally and looked at Mu Lingluo with satisfaction.
All of a sudden, Mu Lingluo caught a glimpse of Jiang Changsheng. She immediately turned around and pounced on him like a ghost. She tried to slap his face, but he easily grabbed her wrist.
“It’s not fun. I can’t hit you.”
Mu Lingluo curled her lips. Even though she said that, her eyes were still filled with pleasant surprise. She finally saw him again.
Jiang Changsheng let go and asked with a smile, “How have you been?”
Mu Lingluo stopped and pulled him to the stone table at the side. As they walked, she said, “It’s passable. I’ve just reached the Heaven Arrival realm, and my family is very impressed with me. Grandfather is even smiling from ear to ear. However, they still won’t let me out, saying that they’re afraid that I’ll be in danger.”
The two of them sat down and Jiang Changsheng asked, “What realm is your grandfather in?”
Mu Lingluo answered, “I think it’s the Grotto-Heaven Realm. Oh, One Grotto-heaven realm. I remember now. Brother Changsheng, let me tell you, my grandfather is also a genius. I heard from my parents that my grandfather once shocked the entire region…”
She talked non-stop while Jiang Changsheng listened attentively.
The Mu Family actually had a Grotto-heaven realm expert. How shocking was that? If there were many families like that in the Ancient God Continent, how powerful would they be?
Fortunately, he had worried too much. According to Mu Lingluo, the Mu family was a famous family in the world.
“Brother Changsheng, what realm are you in?” Mu Lingluo asked curiously.
“You don’t look very old. You should have reached the Golden Body realm, right? No, you must be more powerful. The Universe realm?”
Excitement surfaced on Mu Lingluo’s face, and her delicate little face was full of expectations.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “In your dream, is my realm important?”
Mu Lingluo curled her lips and sighed. “That’s true. You’re just someone from my dream. I can’t really see you in real life.” Jiang Changsheng comforted her. “Perhaps we will meet in real life one day.”
“Really? Mother told me that dreams are all fake.”
“But think about how you and I interact. Does this seem fake?”
In the face of Jiang Changsheng’s question, Mu Lingluo felt that it made sense.
Jiang Changsheng changed the topic and asked her how her cultivation of the Nine Gods Battle Technique was.
As expected of a genius, Mu Lingluo had already mastered the Lin Seal and began to practice the Bing Seal.
Speaking of the Nine Gods Battle Technique, Mu Lingluo was in high spirits. She felt that this martial art technique was much more powerful than the martial arts techniques of the Mu family. She had secretly trained it without anyone noticing.
When she turned twelve, she would participate in the Hidden Dragon Competition held by the seven aristocratic families. The Mu family had high hopes for her, and she was prepared to use the Nine Gods Battle Technique to shine.
Hidden Dragon Competition?
Jiang Changsheng seemed to have heard the plot of a fantasy novel. A genius was born and participated in various martial arts competitions.
How hot-blooded.
Jiang Changsheng listened with relish and was also looking forward to Mu Lingluo’s performance. However, he was not envious. He liked to cultivate in a low-key manner. Compared to being in the limelight, he cared more about surviving. In his current area, he was invincible, so he could show off.
All humans liked to show off. The difference lay in the degree.
July.
Jiang Xiu came to visit Jiang Changsheng with his two sons, the Crown Prince, Jiang Tianjue, and the Second Prince, Jiang Tianqi.
Both of them had a Dao pattern birthmark between their eyebrows, which was the symbol of the Jiang Imperial Family.
“Greetings, Grandmaster.”
The two of them knelt in front of Jiang Changsheng and said in unison. According to seniority, they were great-grand-disciples, but Jiang Changsheng allowed them to call themselves grand-disciples to save themselves the trouble. This was also a rule of Longqi Temple.
It was not the first time Jiang Changsheng had seen them, but they were still young in the past. Now that they had grown up, their appearance did not embarrass him.
Jiang Tianjue’s cultivation was about to reach the Spiritual Sense realm, while Jiang Tianqi had already reached the Spiritual Sense realm. In Great Jing from eighty years ago, they would be considered a top expert.
Jiang Changsheng waved his hand and helped them up, making them very excited.
Jiang Xiu smiled and said, “Go and play with the Ninth Imperial Uncle and General Ping’an.”
The two of them immediately left.
Jiang Jian picked up his three-pointed double-edged sword and led them out of the courtyard. He was prepared to abuse them. Ping’an joined in the fun while the Sword God swept the ground halfway up the mountain.
There was no one around, and Bai Qi was not a human. Jiang Xiu relaxed his posture and said worriedly, “Grandmaster, I am honestly uneasy about this northern expedition. After all, this is my first expedition and I am afraid of failure. What if Xiansheng Grotto-heaven were to take action?”
Jiang Changsheng glared at him angrily and said, “You and your father are of the same character. Xiansheng Grotto-heaven will not come again. As for the Chao Sects, it’s hard to say. If Great Jing is in trouble, I will take action, but you can only rely on yourself.”
Even if he were to remove all the royal families in the world, it would be difficult for Great Jing to unify the world in a short period of time. What he wanted was not only for Great Jing to unify, but for Great Jing to annex the dynasties on the continent and expand the foundation of incense offerings. Right now, the incense points were rising very quickly, so he did not have to worry about it for the time being.
“Since Xiansheng Grotto- heaven will not be taking action, I am relieved. I am not afraid of a one-on-one fight with those Chao Sects.” Jiang Xiu felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders as he stroked his beard and smiled..
