Chapter 139: Jiang Tiansheng, Within Ten Moves
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiang Changsheng tried his best to look over the distance. His vision far exceeded the horizon. He saw other continents, but it was not the Ancient God Continent.
The Saint Mansion that Mu Lingluo went to was also in the Ancient God Continent, so her location was still there.
The ocean was vast and there were countless islands. Jiang Changsheng saw many martial artists, sects, and even groups of sea demon beasts. It was a spectacular sight.
He even saw two Universe realm experts fighting at the ocean, setting off shocking waves. The distance between there and Great Jing was extremely far.
He roughly estimated that it was about eighty times the distance between Great Jing and Tianhai. Along the way, they would pass by two continents.
He stayed for a while before he continued to look forward.
The world shrank, and the vision of the Limitless Eyes of Heaven and Earth advanced at an extremely fast speed.
Jiang Changsheng saw a mountain-sized sea snake entrenched on a huge island. It was extremely terrifying. Its physique was similar to a savage beast. In Comparison, White Dragon was like an earthworm in front of it.
Jiang Changsheng broadened his horizons and looked forward to the scenery along the way.
After half an incense stick of time, he began to feel dizzy.
But, his line of sight was no longer too far away from Mu Lingluo, so he continued to persist.
After a while, the outline of a boundless continent appeared at the end of the ocean. This continent was larger than the continents he had seen before, as if it was the end of the world. Finally, he felt that Mu Lingluo’s mark of reincarnation was right in front of him.
He immediately retracted his gaze and closed his eyes. He took two seconds before slowly opening them.
Exhausted, he did not dare to continue forward because the Human King was still on his way to the capital. He had to stay vigilant in case the Human King attacked him.
Jiang Changsheng landed on the ground and sat cross-legged with his back against the tree trunk.
The scope of his exploration had greatly increased. From this, it could be seen that his strength had increased.
In a few years, he would be able to easily pry into the Ancient God Continent!
Jiang Changsheng looked forward to the eighth level of the Dao Technique. Once he broke through, he would become the most powerful existence in the system’s current range.
In the throne room, the officials gathered. Jiang Xiu sat on the dragon throne, feeling uneasy.
Below him, the princes and princes stood in two rows, all very nervous, and so were the officials because the Human King was about to arrive.
Now that the successor of the Human King was about to be chosen, they hoped that this fate would fall on Great Jing.
Even though they had the support of the Dao Ancestor, he would only take action at critical times. If they could obtain the help of the Human King, then it would be fate!
The more Jiang Xiu waited, the more uneasy he felt and his imagination started to run wild.
Finally.
Jiang Xiu saw a figure flying over from outside the hall and quickly landing inside. Before anyone could see clearly, he had already landed on the ground.
The Human King?
He changed into a green robe, and his strong physique swelled his robe. His long hair was still draped over his shoulders, and his eyes were cold and dignified. He stared at Jiang Xiu who sat on the dragon throne.
When Jiang Xiu looked at him, his heart pounded wildly and he felt inexplicable fear. However, he still maintained the dignity of an emperor of Great Jing and asked, “You are the Human King?”
The Human King indifferently said, “Yes, the Emperor of Great Jing personally invited me. How can I not come? After all, Great Jing is also one of the five Luck Dynasties on the continent.”
His gaze landed on the princes at the side. The crown prince, Jiang Tianjue, was the most nervous.
If the crown prince was not selected by the Human King and the other princes were selected instead, it would be a huge blow to Jiang Tianjue.
Even though he was playful, it did not mean that he was stupid. He knew that he was not capable enough and only wanted to ascend the throne smoothly.
He was even praying that no one in Great Jing could become the next Human King. In that case, his position as the crown prince would be more stable.
Jiang Xiu said, “Human King, do you think any of my sons can become the next
Human King?”
The Human King did not answer. He just scanned with a gaze. When his gaze shifted away from Jiang Tianjue, Jiang Tianjue’s heart was in his throat.
“Please don’t choose anyone…”
Jiang Tianjue prayed in his heart.
Soon, the Human King retracted his gaze and looked at the other princes. The oldest of the seven other princes was no more than fourteen years old, and the youngest was only three years old. He was being held by his brother.
The officials were silent as they looked at the Human King nervously and expectantly.
Jiang Xiu’s palms were covered in cold sweat.
Right at this moment!
The Human King’s gaze suddenly landed on a prince. The prince was only nine years old, and he was the Twelfth Prince.
Being stared at by the Human King, although the Twelfth Prince was young, he calmly looked at the Human King.
Could it be…
The officials’ breathing quickened, and Jiang Xiu was ecstatic as he tightly gripped the armrest.
The Human King said, “I’ve finally found him. The Purple Star, the Dragon Qi of the Heavens.”
He walked to the Twelfth Prince and pressed his fingers on his forehead.
Crown Prince Jiang Tianju’s vision darkened and his body was on the verge of collapse. Fortunately, he was a martial artist and did not faint on the spot.
The Second Prince, Jiang Tianqi, frowned. He already had the intention to seize the throne. Who would not want to be emperor?
He had always felt that Jiang Tianjue was incompetent and that he had a high chance of seizing the throne. However, he did not expect the Twelfth Prince to suddenly appear as a contender.
The Human King asked, “Are you willing to inherit my luck and become the next Human King?”
Everyone thought that the Twelfth Prince would agree. But to their surprise, he did not agree immediately. Instead, he bit his lips and looked at Jiang Xiu.
Jiang Xiu was annoyed by this and urged, “Tiansheng, answer the Human King!”
The nine-year-old Jiang Tiansheng’s face turned deathly pale. However, he took a step back and said, “I… I don’t want to become the Human King…’ As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall was in an uproar.
The Human King frowned.
Jiang Xiu was furious. He stood up and shouted, “Unfilial son, is this something you can choose? Apologize quickly and don’t let down the Human King!”
Jiang Tianjue and Jiang Tianqi’s eyes brightened. They did not expect their twelfth brother to refuse.
Jiang Xiu hastily said, “Human King, my son is still young and does not know the big picture and etiquette. He is actually willing. I will agree on his behalf!”
The Human King looked at Jiang Tiansheng meaningfully and slowly nodded.
At that moment, a voice sounded. “Then agree. How can the continent not be unified when the Human King supports the Emperor of Great Jing?”
The officials were shocked and looked at each other.
When Jiang Xiu recognized the owner of the voice as Jiang Changsheng, his heart immediately calmed down.
In fact, he also knew that if Jiang Tiansheng became the Human King, it was easy to cause chaos in the competition for the throne. However, he was too disappointed with Jiang Tianjue and so, he wanted to push the boat along with the current.
The Human King turned around and looked out of the hall. He said calmly, “But since the Dao Ancestor is here, why don’t you show yourself?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Changsheng appeared out of thin air in front of the Human King, startling the officials into retreating.
This was the first time many of the civil and military officials and princes had seen the true appearance of the Dao Ancestor.
A strange glint flashed past the Human King’s eyes. He did not expect Jiang Changsheng to have such a young appearance. He had never heard of such a technique that could retain one’s youthful appearance.
He slowly said, “Since he is going to be the Human King, he should also become the emperor. The luck of the dynasty should merge with the luck of the Human King, which will benefit the entire continent.”
He calmly stared at Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng’s expression was indifferent as he said, “If I insist on the next Human King serving the Emperor, do you want to change the candidate?”
The Human King shook his head and said, “The Human King is fated. There will only be one in the world, and the probability of him being born in an imperial family is the highest. Now that I have found the next Human King, I will not replace him. He will either become the Human King or give up. After he dies, a new Human King will be born.”
As soon as he said that, the expressions of Jiang Tianjue and Jiang Tianqi changed.
Jiang Tiansheng lowered his head and clenched his fists in his sleeves.
Jiang Changsheng narrowed his eyes.
How vicious!
Regardless of whether what the Human King said was true or false, even if Jiang Tiansheng refused, he could very possibly be harmed in the future.
This was forcing Jiang Tiansheng into a dead end. He could either walk the path to the end or wait for death unless Jiang Changsheng was willing to bring him to his courtyard.
Not everyone was willing to cultivate in seclusion. For some people, it was better to die than to live like that.
In that case, don’t blame me for being disrespectful!
Jiang Changsheng said, “The fate of the Human King sounds amazing. I wonder if the Human King dares to fight me and display the strength of the Human King. If you are inferior to me, then it seems like the fate of the Human King is inferior to my fate as the Dao Ancestor.”
Hearing this, the officials felt that it made sense.
The Human King bragged about it so much, but was it really that good to become the Human King?
No one knew!
The corners of the Human King’s mouth curled up, and his eyes were cold as he said, “I have the same idea. I want to compare notes with the number one on this continent.”
He had heard that Jiang Changsheng had killed a Universe realm expert, but he did not care because he could do it too.
He had already crossed the Universe realm and reached a higher realm!
Jiang Changsheng turned around and walked out of the hall.
The Human King immediately followed.
The officials and princes chased after them.
Just as Jiang Xiu stood up, he realized that Jiang Tiansheng did not follow the crowd.
He came to Jiang Tiansheng’s side. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he sighed and said, “Tiansheng, I know that you are talented and smart. Why do you have to deliberately hide your sharpness? You are born in the Jiang Family. It is not that you can live in peace without competing.”
Jiang Tiansheng looked up. The nine-year-old suddenly smiled and said, “Father, I didn’t say I won’t fight.”
Jiang Xiu was stunned and felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
He suddenly realized that he did not know his son at all.
He had too many sons and was usually busy dealing with the war and memorials, so he neglected Jiang Tiansheng. It was Chen Li who told him that this child had extraordinary luck.
Jiang Tiansheng took Jiang Xiu’s hand and walked out. Jiang Xiu came back to his senses with a complicated expression. In the end, all sorts of words were stuck in his mouth.
He thought of Jiang Ziyu’s instructions.
Great Jing must fight for generations until they unified the continent!
Jiang Tianjue clearly did not have the heart to fight. Even if he did, he was not capable enough and might drag Great Jing to the bottom of the cliff.
Forget it, let them fight. The process of fighting was also the stage of training and transformation.
The father and son held hands and walked out of the throne room. They stood behind the officials and looked up at the sky.
When the Second Prince, Jiang Tianqi, noticed this, jealousy flashed past his eyes.
Meanwhile, the Crown Prince, Jiang Tianjue, was discussing with the eunuchs about who would win.
Jiang Changsheng and the Human King confronted each other, and both sides flew higher and higher.
On Longqi Mountain.
The Sword God opened his eyes and looked at the sky above the palace. His expression changed drastically and his body trembled as he muttered, “This vast aura… he has also surpassed the Universe realm!”
Other than the Dao Ancestor, the Human King was the second existence he had seen who had surpassed the Universe realm.
He stood up and leaped onto the eaves to spectate the battle.
Bai Qi came to his side and asked with a smile, “Sword God, do you want to make a bet?”
The Sword God did not take his eyes off the scene in the sky and casually asked, “What are we betting on?”
“If I win, you will teach me the way of the sword. If I lose, I will help you sweep the floor for five years. How about that?”
“Yes, I bet on the Dao Ancestor winning.”
“Hey, hey, hey. If you don’t care about morals, I’ll also bet on the Dao Ancestor winning. Why don’t we bet on the number of moves it will take to determine the winner? I’ll bet on one move!”
“One move? You’re exaggerating. I’ll bet ten moves.”
The Sword God pondered. The Sun Shooting Divine Bow was powerful, but the Human King could definitely dodge the first arrow. After all, their realms were on the same level..
