“Change? Tell me about it.” The Evil Lord asked curiously.
Jiang Luo also stared at the waiter.
As the waiter poured wine for them, he said, “First, the number one person of Tianhai went to Great Jing to challenge the Dao Ancestor and was tragically defeated. And until now, no one know if he is death or alive. Then, the Limitless Sea Alliance was defeated. The Limitless Sea Alliance is an overlord force that has been running wild in the ocean for thousands of years. They supported the Donghai Dynasty of the Dragon Vein Continent to fight against Great Jing. Their leader even led the elites of the Limitless Sea Alliance to launch a surprise attack on the Si Province of Great Jing. Even the legendary ancient strange beast, Luoyu, was subdued by the leader of the Limitless Sea Alliance. That Luoyu was so huge that it could blot out the sky. However, after they went to Great Jing, they never returned. It was said that they are already dead.”
“It’s not only the leader of the Limitless Sea Alliance. All the experts who went to the Donghai Dynasty are dead. Right now, the name of the Dao Ancestor has shocked the ocean. Who would have expected such an expert to appear in the mediocre Dragon Vein Continent?”
Jiang Luo was moved when he heard that. He knew and even admired Jiang Changsheng’s strength, but he did not expect that Jiang Changsheng’s strength had already shocked the ocean.
The Evil Lord was silent, and his mood was also complicated.
How long had it been since they last saw the Dao Ancestor?
Not far away, Xiao Buku, who was wiping the table, also felt bitter. Even though it was not the first time he had heard of this, he was still shocked every time he heard it.
Even until their death, the Mahayana Dragon Tower did not know what kind of enemy they were facing, especially his father.
The waiter was clearly a loyal believer of the Dao Ancestor as he bragged about his strength. Jiang Luo and the Evil Lord did not interrupt him and listened to his narration attentively.
The Limitless Sea Alliance had suffered such a heavy blow. Even though they did not disband. their reputations had plummeted. Those forces that were suppressed by the Limitless Sea Alliance jumped out to chase after them, causing the territory of the Limitless Sea Alliance to shrink rapidly and even show signs of becoming street rats.
The waiter spoke for a long time before he stopped.
This was not only his thoughts, but also the thoughts of many martial artists in Tianhai. The appearance of the Dao Ancestor had shocked them too much.
Most importantly, the Dao Ancestor was very mysterious. No one knew how powerful he was. They only knew that no matter how powerful the martial artists were or how many there were, as long as they dared to find trouble with him, they would die without a doubt.
It had been a long time since such a terrifying martial artist appeared in the ocean!
The waiter chuckled and left.
The Evil Lord looked at Jiang Luo and lamented, “The Dragon Vein Continent is about to rise.”
With such an expert present, Great Jing would definitely unify the continent!
Jiang Luo nodded and said, “Master, let’s go back. In any case, the Great
Heavenly Cycle Divine Technique has reached a bottleneck.”
The Evil Lord hesitated for a moment before he finally nodded.
The teacher and student did not say anything else as they each had their own thoughts.
In the courtyard, Yang Zhou and the two demon cats chased each other. Sometimes, they would enter the fog and sometimes they would run out. Their movements were as fast as lightning, especially the two demon cats.
When Ye Xun saw them, he frowned. It was evident that he was not satisfied with Yang Zhou’s performance.
Jiang Changsheng felt that it was alright.
Yang Zhou was talented, but Huang Tian and Hei Tian were not simple either. It was hard to imagine what kind of bloodline those two demon cats possessed if they could ignore the bewitchment of the Demon Gathering Pearl.
The Sword God sat on the wall and comprehended the sword. Huang Tian and Hei Tian stepped on his head one after another, but he was indifferent. However, when Yang Zhou wanted to step on him, he gave him a glance, which frightened so much that his hair stood on end. He hastily went around him.
This had almost become Yang Zhou’s daily training, and Huang Tian and Hei Tian could also benefit from it.
After a while, Yang Zhou stopped and panted. He propped his hands on his knees and cursed, “These two guys are too abnormal!”
Huang Tian and Hei Tian landed on the eaves, still full of vigor.
Jiang Changsheng said, “They are faster than you, which is their innate advantage, but their demonic power is inferior to your true qi.”
Ever since Yang Zhou ‘died’, his martial arts holy physique had completely awakened, and his true qi growth speed was extremely fast, far exceeding his current realm. At the age of 22, he had already reached the Divine realm, which was extremely exaggerated. At the same age, he still seemed inferior to Xu
Tianji back then, but he only started practicing martial arts at the age of 16. Jiang Changsheng had also calculated Yang Zhou, Zhou Jue, and Yu Qingyuan’s strength. The gap between the three of them was not huge. In a few years, Yang Zhou would overtake them.
When Yang Zhou heard Jiang Changsheng’s words, he revealed a smile and his depression was swept away.
Ye Xun snorted and said, “Go and see your junior brothers.”
“Alright!”
When Yang Zhou saw that he did not look well, he immediately slipped away.
Over the years, Jiang Changsheng had used his avatar to bring back nine more youths. All of them were existences ranked in the top 100 in the continent. As for the others, most of them had already obtained a teacher or were already old and did not have the time to practice martial arts.
He had asked Yang Zhou to personally lead these nine people as a form of training for Yang Zhou. Occasionally, Ye Xun would personally guide them.
Yang Zhou had two masters, and the one who mainly taught him martial arts was Ye Xun. Qing’er taught him more about being a person. In this aspect, Ye Xun was not as good as Qing’er. After all, Ye Xun was also a proud and aloof person.
The Sword God stroked his beard and said with a smile, “Those nine children are not simple. Dao Ancestor, you asked Yang Zhou to personally take care of them. Could it be that you have plans for the future?”
Bai Qi and Ye Xun also looked at Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng said, “Yes, when Great Jing faces the calamity of demons, we need someone to take charge. We also need someone to march in and kill the demon leader.”
He had high hopes for Yang Zhou, and it was not as simple as his personal strength.
Ye Xun asked curiously, “How did you find these geniuses? When they came, they did not have any true qi at all.”
Jiang Changsheng smiled and closed his eyes.
Seeing that he was unwilling to say, Ye Xun did not dare to ask further.
The Dao Ancestor could even resurrect the dead. It was not unreasonable for him to see through the talent of those youths.
Ye Xun walked to the corner of the courtyard and began to meditate. Even though he had become a master, he still had the heart to aspire to be the strongest.
“In the 17th year of the Shuntian Era, the Qing Ku you marked was successfully reincarnated and born in the Sea of Despair.” A notification appeared before Jiang Changsheng.
His junior brother had reincarnated.
Jiang Changsheng silently blessed him with 10,000 incense points. Before he reincarnated, he had already obtained 100 ,ooo incense points in exchange for good talent. Therefore, Jiang Changsheng did not bless him with more incense points.
In the entire Longqi Temple, Qing Ku had the best relationship with him, even better than Meng Qiushuang. After all, they had lived in the same house since they were young.
“Don’t break your arm in this life.”
Jiang Changsheng thought to himself and revealed a faint smile.
He stood up and jumped onto the Earth Spirit Tree to feel Qing Ku’s reincarnation mark.
After he locked onto the direction, he used the Limitless Eyes of Heaven and Earth to take a look.
Ye Xun was no longer surprised to see his eyes shining with golden light. He was only secretly curious about what martial arts technique it was.
Could it be that the reason why the Dao Ancestor could shoot the enemy from afar was because he had mastered a powerful visual martial arts technique?
Jiang Changsheng looked to the west. The Sea of Despair was located on the west side of the Dragon Vein Continent. Even though it was not as far away as the Ancient God Continent, it was farther than Tianhai was relative to the Dragon Vein Continent.
As his vision flew past countless islands and three continents, Jiang Changsheng finally saw the Sea of Despair. When he saw the Sea of Despair, he could not help but be shocked.
The Sea of Despair was covered by endless thunderclouds. The sea water was dark and extremely oppressive. Over there, waves surged but it was silent.
He continued to expand his vision. There were not many islands in the Sea of
Despair, which was far fewer than the ocean around the Dragon Vein Continent. He saw many huge sea beasts and terrifying huge birds hovering around.
No wonder it was called the Sea of Despair. It did not look like a place where humans could live.
Along the way, Jiang Changsheng saw a continent, and Qing Ku was on that continent. This continent was far smaller than the Dragon Vein Continent, about the same size as the current Great Jing. Cities and huge ship were built on the edge of the continent, but there were fewer cities further inland.
Qing Ku was born in a valley. There were many martial artists here, and it seemed like it was a sect. There were many people in the house surrounding him in swaddling clothes. It looked like he was no longer an orphan in this life.
Jiang Changsheng watched silently for a while before he retracted his gaze.
The Sea of Despair looked dangerous, but since there were humans there, it meant that the humans in that continent had found a way to survive. There was no need for him to worry.
However, when the calamity of demons arrived, perhaps something unexpected would happen there. At that time, he could bring Qing Ku over.
In fact, there were also benefits to doing so. Through their reincarnation, he could rope in more and more forces to join Great Jing and increase their strength so that they could fight against the demons.
In the forest of an isolated island.
The Sword Master was dressed in black, and there were wooden swords floating in all directions around him. They were spread throughout the entire forest, and it was a spectacular sight.
A figure descended from the sky and landed in front of the Sword Master without raising any dust.
The Sword Master did not even open his eyes as he said, “What a rare guest, the
Sea-crossing King Kong.”
Standing in front of him was a monk with a long beard and half of his upper body naked. His muscles were exaggerated, making him look like an arhat. The Sea-crossing King Kong sized him up and teased, “Sword Master, it has been a hundred years since we last met. Your Sword Dao doesn’t seem to have improved much. Why don’t you join Fengtian? The Emperor favors you very much.”
The Sword Master opened his eyes and said, “I thank the Emperor for his kind intentions, but are you here to make fun of me?”
The Sea-crossing King Kong grinned and said, “Of course not. The Sacred Dynasty is about to collapse, and Martial Emperor Island is about to issue an edict to the world that a war of luck was about to start for hundreds of dynasties. They all want to compete to be the next Sacred Dynasty in the next 500 years. Naturally, we, Fengtian, have to fight, and His Majesty wishes to invite the Sword Court to join us.”
The Sword Master frowned and said, “The Sacred Dynasty is in trouble. However, instead of providing support, you only want to fight?”
The Sea-crossing King Kong shook his head and said, “Why is there no support? The three princes of the Emperor have already been buried in the stomach of demons. It’s just that we can’t risk everything to support them. This is also the intention of Martial Emperor Island. The Martial Emperor prophesied that within five hundred years, the Human Emperor would be born. The Human Emperor would come from the ocean and that would be the opportunity for the luck of the Human race to turn from decline to prosperity.” The Sword Master was silent.
The Sea-crossing King Kong said, “His Majesty knows your Sword Dao. If you are willing to join Fengtian, His Majesty will provide a large number of swordsmen who have mastered sword intent and help you become the number one swordsman in the world. Sword Master, this is an opportunity that cannot be missed. His Majesty still values you, but he is the Emperor. If you reject him, His Majesty will naturally recruit other Sword Dao sects. The Sword Court is not the only sect in the ocean that trains in the Sword Dao.”
The forest was silent.
The Sea-crossing King Kong did not say anything else and waited for the Sword Master’s answer.
The Sword Master closed his eyes and said, “Forget it. In that case, the Sword Court will join Fengtian and help it walk towards the path of a Sacred Dynasty.”
The Sea-crossing King Kong revealed a smile and said, “Hundreds of years later, you will be glad of your choice..”
