Chapter 140: Dao Ancestor’s Favor, Top-grade Magic Treasure
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiang Changsheng stared at the Human King expressionlessly, but he was extremely excited deep down.
The real Grotto-Heaven realm expert!
He had been looking forward to this for a long time!
The Human King could not see through Jiang Changsheng’s strength, but he did not panic. The higher the realm, the easier it was to hide one’s strength and make oneself look unfathomable. As long as they fought, he would know his strength.
“Xiansheng Grotto-heaven left because of you, right? If my guess is right, someone from the Xiansheng Grotto-heaven wanted to absorb all the luck of the continent as an aid to break through, but they were stopped by you. As a result, Xiansheng Grotto-heaven feared you and escaped from the Dragon Vein Continent. Looking at it from this point, you have done a great service to the continent,” the Human King said, his tone filled with admiration.
He knew that the Celestial Venerable from Destiny had died in the capital by the hands of the Dao Ancestor. However, he did not hate the Dao Ancestor because he understood that Great Jing did not harm the continent. It was just a normal dynasty war. Furthermore, Great Jing was not the strongest dynasty yet.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “It’s not a great merit. As someone from this continent, I should take action.”
The Human King raised his eyebrows and asked, ‘You are not from overseas?”
Jiang Changsheng said, “Of course. I was born in Great Jing and trained in Longqi Temple.”
The Human King was silent.
His heart was in turmoil.
He had learned about Jiang Changsheng. According to the people of Great Jing, Jiang Changsheng was at least a hundred years old this year and at most a hundred and twenty years old. He had reached the Grotto-heaven realm at such a young age, so why did he not sense any change in luck?
That was the reason why he had always believed that Jiang Changsheng was from overseas. However, after hearing Jiang Changsheng’s words today, he believed it.
For some reason, he felt that Jiang Changsheng would not lie.
After recovering from his shock, he revealed a smile and said, “It seems like the humans of the Dragon Vein Continent are about to rise. Take action. Dao Ancestor, I have not fought for a long time. I want to fight to my heart’s content!”
Boom!
His aura exploded and his aura was like a rainbow, forming a spectacular wave of energy that coiled around his body and soared into the sky.
Everyone in the city raised their heads. When they saw the Human King’s aura, they became nervous and did not understand what had happened.
“Who are those two?”
“One is the Dao Ancestor, but I don’t know the other.”
“Could it be an enemy sent by the Donghai Dynasty and the Hongxuan Dynasty?”
“That’s possible. After so many years, many people have forgotten how powerful the Dao Ancestor is.”
“I’ve never seen the Dao Ancestor attack with my own eyes. I’m in luck today.”
When they heard that one of them was the Dao Ancestor, more and more citizens and martial artists were no longer nervous. In their hearts, the Dao Ancestor was the most powerful. No matter who it was, it was impossible to defeat him.
The Human King stared at Jiang Changsheng and said, “Use your full strength and let me see how strong you are!”
Jiang Changsheng chuckled and said, “You want to see my full strength?” In the eyes of the Human King, his smile was so contemptuous.
Before the Human King could speak, Jiang Changsheng raised his right hand and held it horizontally in front of him. He put his index and middle fingers together and covered his mouth. In an instant, a resplendent golden light appeared behind him.
Nine huge golden words of light appeared out of thin air and formed a huge circle.
Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, and Xing
Everyone in the city saw those nine words, and an incomparably vast aura enveloped the entire city.
“Nine Gods Battle Technique!”
Bai Qi cried out in excitement. She had also cultivated this technique before, so she knew how powerful it was.
The Sword God frowned. For some reason, he felt that it was not the Nine Gods Battle Technique, but a stronger martial art technique. Perhaps it was his illusion, but the Dao Ancestor was powerful enough to double the power of martial arts.
Jiang Changsheng’s black hair fluttered in the wind, and his eyes were ice-cold.
The robe of the Great Feathered Robe emitted a light, as if silver-blue flames were burning on his body, causing his aura to reach its limit.
The Human King felt an immense amount of pressure when he faced Jiang Changsheng.
Too powerful!
Unbelievably powerful!
However, the Human King did not admit defeat. He clenched his fists and began to circulate his energy. His aura continued to increase, causing the entire capital to tremble, as if a huge earthquake had struck.
With a furious roar, his fist was like a divine dragon emerging from the abyss. Terrifying scarlet true qi surged out like an ocean, covering the sky and blotting out the sun, causing the entire capital to be covered in flames. The aura wanted to drown Jiang Changsheng.
In a flash!
Jiang Changsheng’s eyes narrowed and he pushed out his right hand. The Nine Words of Truth behind him quickly entered his body and turned into a golden light that swept past his right arm before condensing in his fingers. When his arm straightened and his fingers pointed forward, an extreme golden light shot out.
Boom!
The Human King’s true qi that was as vast as a sea of fire was instantly crushed by the golden light. The Human King widened his eyes and before he could react, his abdomen was pierced. The golden light swept across the sky and instantly disappeared.
The Human King trembled and was tongue-tied. Disbelief was written all over his face, and he was no longer as calm as before. The true qi in his body had also been dispersed!
How was that possible?
The Human King trembled as he stared at Jiang Changsheng in horror. He gritted his teeth and asked, “This… what ultimate technique is this…” Jiang Changsheng said expressionlessly, “Chen Family, Qi Finger.”
The Nine Words of Truth version of the Chen Family’s Qi Finger!
Epic Strengthening!
However, Daoist ultimate techniques could not be mentioned!
The Human King’s eyes were filled with confusion.
The Chen Family…
Which Chen Family?
Jiang Changsheng said calmly, “I won’t kill you. Just give the inheritance to the Twelfth Prince. With me here, Great Jing will unify the continent sooner or later, whether the Human King becomes the emperor or not.”
With that said, Jiang Changsheng disappeared into thin air.
The Human King fell down, his body hanging upside down. He was still in shock.
The Chen Family’s Qi Finger could definitely kill him!
The Dao Ancestor was definitely not in One Grotto-heaven realm. He must be even more powerful…
The Human King fell straight down and smashed into the streets of the capital, causing a huge pit to appear on the ground, frightening the surrounding citizens. However, he was in the Grotto-heaven realm so he would not fall to his death.
Soon, the White-robed Guards arrived and brought him back to the palace.
Longqi Mountain, in the courtyard.
Bai Qi smiled proudly and said, “How is it? I guessed right, right?”
The Sword God said expressionlessly, “One move is also within ten moves. I did not lose.”
“You… Shameless!”
“You’re too naive.”
“Haha, the dignified Sword God is so shameless. In the future, I will definitely tell the devotees up the mountain that…’
“Stop! I’ll teach you, alright? You’re a demon wolf, but you still want to learn the sword. How are you going to use a sword?”
“With my mouth, of course. Is there a problem? Besides, I can transform into my human form!”
While they were bickering, Jiang Changsheng appeared under the Earth Spirit Tree and began to meditate.
The reason why he let the Human King go was because he wanted the descendants of the Jiang Family to have more legacies, as in letting the Jiang Family control Destiny.
He also heard the conversation between Jiang Xiu and Jiang Tiansheng in the palace.
He had hoped that the descendants of the Jiang Family would not fight. However, on second thought, how could there be no fights in the family of an emperor? Now, as long as they did not fight too fiercely, it would be fine in his mind. In the future, whoever lost would enter the Longqi Temple as a Daoist priest or be sent to the border to be a vassal king.
Jiang Xiu was already inferior to Jiang Ziyu. If the next emperor was inferior to Jiang Xiu, and they continued to get worse with each generation, what would happen?
If one were too easy-going, it was often hard for an emperor who had a smooth time to achieve great things.
Jiang Changsheng stopped thinking about it. Children and grandchildren had their own blessings. Even the families of ordinary citizens had their difficulties. How could he expect the imperial family of Great Jing to be harmonious forever?
It was better to look forward to the survival reward!
He deliberately waited for the Human King to take action because he wanted to cause a calamity or disaster.
Within the palace.
The officials discussed in shock.
“The Human King lost just like that?”
“The Human King is merely so-so. Ridiculous. What fate? Stop acting mysterious!”
“Actually, it’s not that the Human King is not strong enough, but the Dao Ancestor is very strong. Have you ever seen such vast true qi?”
“Indeed, the realm of the Dao Ancestor is too high. The successor appointed by
the Human King might not be the strongest, but none of the disciples the Dao
Ancestor has taken in are bad. Emperor Taizong, General Ping’an, and Ninth
Prince are all people who have turned the tide for the Great Jing. Even General Xu Tianji of the Heavenly Strategy Army and General Chen Li who defeated many with a few had been guided by the Dao Ancestor.”
“No one among the princes has obtained the favor of the Dao Ancestor yet.”
The civil and military officials discussed among themselves. Some of the old officials’ words embarrassed Jiang Tianjue, Jiang Tianqi, and the other princes.
The nine-year-old Jiang Tiansheng had a calm expression. Even when he saw that the Human King had been defeated and the prestige of the Human King’s inheritance had decreased, he was still unmoved. It was as if everything was within his expectations.
Jiang Xiu noticed his performance and was surprised.
He was so young, but he had such a temperament…
Evidently, not all his sons were good-for-nothings!
Jiang Xiu was relieved. He had been suppressing his desire to surpass the late emperor, but other than managing state affairs, he was inferior to Jiang Ziyu in all aspects, including his children.
His brothers could rule a region, but his sons were all greedy for pleasure. It was ironic.
[13th year of the Rende Era. The Human King came to Great Jing and wanted to spar with you. You took the initiative to ask for a battle and successfully survived his challenge. You have survived a calamity and obtained a survival reward—Top-grade Magical Weapon, God Binding Silk.]
When Jiang Changsheng saw that it was a top-grade magical treasure, he looked forward to it even more and immediately inherited the memories of the God Binding Silk.
The God Binding Silk was an extremely powerful binding-type magical treasure. It contained many seals and restrictions. Once one was bound by it, they would not be able to move or even release their soul from their body. The God Binding Silk could also extend at will and change its size.
This was his first magic weapon that was labeled as top-grade. Even though the Sun Shooting Divine Bow was also a top-grade magic treasure, its effectiveness still depended on the wielder.
The God Binding Silk was different. It was powerful to begin with, but he did not know what its limits were.
Jiang Changsheng did not take out the God Binding Silk immediately. Instead, he continued to cultivate.
It was mainly because he was tired from observing the Ancient God Continent and needed to recover his spiritual energy.
Several days later.
Jiang Xiu brought Jiang Tiansheng to personally pay a visit to the Human King. The Human King was arranged to stay in a mansion near the palace and was currently recuperating.
Jiang Tiansheng looked at the Human King who was meditating on the bed and cupped his hands.
Without the other princes around, he did not appear timid.
The Human King opened his eyes and stared at him. “Are you willing to become
the Human King now?”
Jiang Tiansheng said, “I am willing. Senior Human King, please pass your luck to me. In the future, I will follow your example and choose the next Human King to continue the lineage.”
The Human King could not help but glance at Jiang Xiu, thinking that Jiang Xiu had taught him to say that.
Jiang Xiu’s expression did not change as he felt gratified. He did not teach this kid anything.
The Human King looked at Jiang Tiansheng again and said, “I don’t have much time left. When I recover, I will impart all my strength, ultimate techniques, and luck to you..”
