Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiang Changsheng stayed in the room for three days before he came out. For the past few days, he refined all the newly obtained Golden-scaled Jade Leaves and was in an extremely good mood.
When Bai Qi, Ye Xun, and Yang Zhou heard the door being pushed open, they immediately turned around.
They were immediately attracted by the Ultimate Yang Divine Light floating behind Jiang Changsheng’s head. Bai Qi immediately stood up and went over to take a look.
Jiang Changsheng ignored their gazes and walked to the Earth Spirit Tree. He lifted his robe and slowly sat down.
“Master, behind you is…” Bai Qi could not help but ask.
This was also the first time Ye Xun had seen such a strange object.
Jiang Changsheng said, “I comprehended something from the previous battle.
This is the manifestation of my martial arts, similar to a grotto-heaven.”
Ye Xun suddenly came to a realization. He stared at the Ultimate Yang Divine Light in deep thought.
Yang Zhou walked closer and said excitedly, “Dao Ancestor, Great Jing is about to win. During these past two days, there have been frequent reports from Ten Thousand Mile Condors. It is reported that they have won a complete victory at the front line. Once they annex the Donghai Dynasty, Great Jing will ascend to a new height.”
As a citizen of Great Jing, he was pleasantly surprised by the current situation.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and did not say anything else as he began to cultivate.
Ye Xun was afraid of disturbing him, so he dragged Yang Zhou to practice martial arts.
It was autumn.
The front line of the Donghai Dynasty had completely collapsed. Once Great Jing deployed dozens of armies, they attacked the cities and plundered the land with unstoppable momentum.
Reports of the war spread throughout the land!
The Donghai Dynasty had collapsed!
Even with the support of the mysterious foreign force, they could not withstand Great Jing’s domineering sharpness!
Everyone realized that the Battle between Luck Dynasties was about to end. It was shorter than the previous battles!
With this achievement, the twenty-four-year-old Emperor Shuntian was famous throughout the continent!
He ascended the throne at a young age and inherited unparalleled military might. And now, he had achieved such great feats!
It was as if the nearby dynasties could see the rise of the second Jing Taizong!
The end of the year.
The Emperor of the Donghai Dynasty committed suicide by consuming poison, and all the members of the royal family left the Donghai Dynasty by ship. As a result, the luck of the Donghai Dynasty collapsed and disasters occurred everywhere, causing the armies of Great Jing to have no choice but to stop.
In the 15th year of the Shuntian Era.
The Emperor had returned to the capital, and it was rare for him to hold a
Spring Festival Banquet. The heirs of the vassal lords from various states had all come to pay their respects, and the capital was bustling with activity.
On the day of the new spring, the Emperor left the palace early and asked Chen Li to deal with the officials.
He then brought good wine and delicacies to Longqi Temple to visit Jiang Changsheng.
Qing’er and Yang Zhou were both there, and the Sword God had also returned. When Yang Zhou first met the Emperor, he was rather nervous. Fortunately, the Emperor had a good attitude towards him.
The courtyard became exceptionally lively.
Listening to Emperor Shuntian recount what happened on the battlefield, everyone found it interesting, including Jiang Changsheng.
Unknowingly, this kid had also grown up. Time passed so quickly.
Jiang Changsheng looked at Emperor Shuntian and thought.
Emperor Shuntian was still young. Perhaps he could complete his great aspiration to unify the Dragon Vein Continent.
“With the Dao Ancestor’s Shooting Sun Arrows, the Donghai Dynasty collapsed in one fell swoop. The so-called Limitless Sea Alliance is merely so-so.
Hahaha!”
Emperor Shuntian laughed and toasted Jiang Changsheng.
Ye Xun shook his cup and snorted. “The Limitless Sea Alliance is still very powerful. Emperor, one Four Grotto-heaven realm expert and three Three Grotto-heaven realm experts, coupled with an unimaginable demon beast. Can you imagine how powerful this lineup is?”
Emperor Shuntian was stunned. He naturally knew about the attack on Si Province and the huge flying fish that seemed to have walked out of a mythical legend. However, because the battle ended so quickly, he did not think much about them. He did not expect the lineup of the Limitless Sea Alliance to be so terrifying.
He could not help but look at Jiang Changsheng.
The Sword God was also shocked and looked at Jiang Changsheng with a complicated expression.
Dao Ancestor, didn’t you say that you were in the Four Grotto-heaven realm?
Jiang Changsheng drank a cup of wine and said with a smile, “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Why talk about dead enemies?”
His relaxed attitude convinced everyone.
Qing’er could not help but ask, “Dao Ancestor, what’s behind you?”
She had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but she had never had the chance to.
Jiang Changsheng used the previous reason to continue to answer perfunctorily, but it instead made them even more in awe of him.
How high was the Dao Ancestor’s martial arts realm?
After a lively night.
Jiang Changsheng entered Mu Lingluo’s dream.
The dream was located at the edge of the ocean. Mu Lingluo sat on a reef, facing the ocean and bathing in the blazing sun. Her white clothes fluttered with the ocean breeze, elegant and otherworldly.
Jiang Changsheng walked to her side and she turned to look at him. Her originally cold and pretty face revealed a brilliant smile.
“Brother Changsheng, you’re finally here.”
Mu Lingluo said as she scooched to the side to leave space for Jiang Changsheng to sit down.
She took the lead to start a conversation and said, “Recently, something big has happened in the Saint Mansion. Lin Haotian awakened some kind of physique and then took revenge on the prodigy who snatched his cousin. He is now forced to escape from the Saint Mansion and is currently being chased.”
That bad?
Jiang Changsheng thought of Jiang Luo. The two of them were exactly the same.
He asked in surprise, “Lin Haotian has awakened his physique. Isn’t that enough to move the Saint Mansion?”
Why was the Saint Mansion still not retaining their prodigies at this point in time?
Mu Lingluo shook her head and said, “The contradiction between the two is only one of the reasons. Another reason is that Lin Haotian actually has the blood of a demon. This matter has been sealed off, and I only heard it from my master. How can a human have the blood of a demon? It’s really strange.”
Jiang Changsheng came to a sudden realization. The Saint Mansion must have known about the upcoming battle between humans and demons. Lin Haotian, who possessed the bloodline of a demon, was indeed an anomaly. Coupled with the battle with the influential prodigies, they could only give up on him. “Didn’t you say that the Lin Family is also a large family?”
“Indeed, but the Lin family has been destroyed. I only found out recently.” Mu Lingluo said helplessly as she sympathized with Lin Haotian.
She guessed. “Now that I think about it, when Brother Changsheng saved me, those two demon kings were after Lin Haotian. If powerful demon beasts were to chase Lin Haotian to eat him, then the rest of his life will be miserable. He will be alone for the rest of his life. Both humans and demons will not tolerate him. Alas.”
Although she did not have a favorable impression of Lin Haotian, they had known each other since they were young. She could not help but sigh when she saw his plight.
Jiang Changsheng said, “That’s his life. Just take care of yourself. It’s almost time for you to break through to the Golden Body realm, right?”
Mu Lingluo nodded and said, “I will try to break through in four months at the latest.”
Jiang Changsheng smiled in satisfaction.
He was quite at ease with this girl.
Under the night sky, there was torrential rain and lightning flashed.
In the dense forest, Lin Haotian leaned against a tree trunk to recuperate. He pressed his right hand on his bleeding abdomen and used his true qi to heal his wound.
The heavy rain poured on him, making him look exceptionally sorry.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the moon that was revealed between the leaves. Most of the moon was covered by thunderclouds, revealing only a small corner.
Lin Haotian forgot about the physical pain and fell into endless confusion.
Faces of hatred flashed past his eyes, as well as images of his dead family members-
“The world is vast. Where should I go…”
Lin Haotian muttered to himself. His scarlet eyes flickered with a cold glint and water flowed down his face. He did not know if it was tears or rain.
He felt unprecedented loneliness.
He had lived for the sake of revenge, but his family had been destroyed by demons. Therefore, he had massacred demons in the Saint Mansion Tournament to vent his anger and hatred. Later on, he discovered that he also had the blood of demons in him, which almost collapsed him.
Right now, demon beasts wanted to eat him, and humans were chasing after him. He had become the most pitiful abandoned pawn in the world.
He suddenly felt aggrieved, but he could not vent this grievance because no one could understand him and no one could listen to him.
For some reason, he suddenly thought of the mysterious expert who had saved him twice in the tournament.
Ever since his family was destroyed, this expert had been the only one who treated him well.
However, he still did not know who that expert was.
He had thought of many possibilities. Maybe the expert had saved him because of his bloodline, or perhaps the expert was not a human.
On this thunderous night, Lin Haotian’s thoughts ran wild.
Gradually, drowsiness drowned Lin Haotian’s will.
He was really tired.
No one knew how long had passed.
Lin Haotian felt someone slapping his face. He suddenly woke up and found someone in front of him. He was so frightened that he crawled backward before bumping into a tree.
“Who are you..
Lin Haotian asked in a deep voice. He stood up and prepared for a fight.
There was a Daoist priest standing in front of him, but a strong light was shining above his head, as if there was a small sun above his head, making it impossible to see his true appearance.
“Are you a human or a demon?”
Lin Haotian shouted. This was the first time he had seen such a person, and he could not even see his true appearance.
“Haven’t you always wanted to see me?”
The other party asked with a smile. His voice sounded extremely young, but his words made Lin Haotian tremble as if he had been struck by lightning.
He suppressed his excitement and asked, “Are you the mysterious person who saved me?”
“Yes.”
“Why did you save me? Do you know my background?”
“I only saved you because I found you pleasing to the eye. I don’t know your background.”
“You’re lying to me. How can someone save someone twice just because they’re pleasing to the eye?”
“Then do you believe in fate?”
Lin Haotian was stumped and did not know how to answer.
Jiang Changsheng said, “I already know what happened to you.”
Lin Haotian lowered his head and clenched his fists.
“The Saint Mansion doesn’t want you, and demons are hunting you down. You seem to have nowhere to go, but I can give you a place to go, where there will be no prejudice against you.”
Jiang Changsheng’s words made Lin Haotian look up. He hurriedly asked, “Where?”
Jiang Changsheng said, “Go all the way north and cross the ocean. Pass by Tianhai and you will reach Great Jing. I will wait for you in Great Jing. As long as you don’t commit evil and kill innocents, I am willing to accept you and protect you for the rest of your life.”
Lin Haotian was confused.
Tianhai…
Great Jing..
He had never heard of these places.
Then, Jiang Changsheng raised his right hand and pointed his index finger at him. Immediately after, all sorts of techniques with figures executing them surged into Lin Haotian’s forehead.
Lin Haotian was in a trance.
After that, there was a long pause.
Lin Haotian suddenly woke up. The sunlight dazzled his eyes and water dripped from the leaves.
He turned around but did not see that person.
“Was I dreaming…”
Lin Haotian muttered to himself, but he suddenly discovered a martial arts memory in his mind.
“Nine Gods Battle Technique!”
Lin Haotian’s expression was sluggish. Soon after, he jumped up in ecstasy.
He suddenly found his target.
There was still someone willing to take him in!
The other party had saved him twice and taught him martial arts. He was the person who had given him the greatest favor.
“Since the Ancient God Continent does not want me, I will go to Great Jing!”
Lin Haotian gritted his teeth and muttered to himself. He turned to the north with determination in his eyes..
