While Ye Xun was letting his imagination run wild, Bai Qi could not help but ask, “Wait, whether it is a giant or a Martial Emperor, can the underground palace of Little Penglai Island hide his corpse?”
Jiang Jian said helplessly, “It’s called Little Penglai Island, but it’s not necessarily small. Which island overseas is small? A real tiny island can easily be destroyed or drowned by huge demon beasts and mutant beasts.”
Bai Qi felt that it made sense and did not ask further.
Jiang Changsheng said, “In that case, I won’t go so as not to cause trouble for the human race.”
Ji Wujun breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Changsheng gratefully. As expected of the Dao Ancestor, he believed her and did not insist on challenging an ancient Martial Emperor.
At this moment, Bai Qi came over and fawned over Jiang Changsheng. “Master,
I don’t think that ancient Martial Emperor is your opponent.”
“Nonsense. I haven’t even reached the Martial Emperor realm yet. How can I compare to them?”
Jiang Changsheng flicked Bai Qi’s forehead. Even though Bai Qi was in extreme pain, she still had to chuckle and put on a fawning expression.
Jiang Jian looked at Ji Wujun and asked curiously, “Senior, according to what you said, the Martial Emperor realm actually a realm. Doesn’t that mean that humans can give birth to more than one Martial Emperor?”
Ji Wujun shook his head and said, “Even though there were many ancient Martial Emperors, they were all existences from different eras. At the very least, there have never been two Martial Emperors at the same time in the past ten thousand years. A Martial Emperor himself grasped extremely strong luck, and the founder of the Sacred Dynasty was actually a Martial Emperor.”
Everyone fell into deep thought as they lamented the vastness of martial arts.
Huang Tian shouted, “I want to work hard to become the supreme demon. And I hope one of you can become a Martial Emperor. In that case, the world will be at peace!”
After listening for a long time, it finally found an opportunity to speak.
In its opinion, as long as one was strong enough, they could call themselves whatever they wanted. At that time, they would not be called the supreme demon. Instead, they would be called the Demon Emperor, which corresponded to the Martial Emperor of the human race.
Hei Tian followed suit and imitated Huang Tian’s speech.
On the other side.
Daoist He Hong returned to the mansion as fast as he could and told Daoist He Yuan what he had learned.
Daoist He Yuan remained calm after hearing that and said, “See, Master was right. Since the Dao Ancestor can uncover the truth of the ancient secret for us, our goal has been achieved. As for whether it will be opened or not, let’s leave it to fate.’
“Well…
Daoist He Hong wanted to refute, but he felt that it made sense.
Wasn’t what they wanted the truth?
However, after waiting for 32 years, only one explanation surfaced. It really made him feel suffocated.
Daoist He Yuan said unhurriedly, “Perhaps Master asked us to stay because he had guessed that the Dao Ancestor would not go. Little Penglai Island will probably have to be tied to Great Jing. If my guess is right, the Martial Emperor will definitely be born in Great Jing. If you and I stay here, we can assist Great Jing and also work hard for the human race.”
Daoist He Hong remained silent.
Daoist He Yuan said, “Junior Brother, let’s rebuild Little Penglai Island. It has been so many years since a letter was sent to us. Little Penglai Island must have been destroyed.”
Hearing this, Daoist He Hong felt even worse.
In the end, Jiang Changsheng did not go to Little Penglai Island, nor did He Hong and He Yuan. As they were pretty strong, coupled with many years of networking, they had established a Daoist temple on a mountain outside the capital.
Year 64 of the Shuntian Era.
At the beginning of April, a huge battle broke out in the sea to the west of the Dragon Vein Continent. Great Jing met the armies of three dynasties at sea and started the war without any hesitation. With the help of the five Grotto-heaven realm experts from Tianhai and the Floating Island, Great Jing won the war. The news of the war spread to Great Jing, and the citizens were at peace.
For the citizens of this generation, it was normal for Great Jing to win. If they were to lose, it would be abnormal.
May.
In the imperial study.
Emperor Shuntian was currently circulating his internal energy. He had a frown on his face, and there was black energy lingering between his brows. He looked very abnormal.
“Pfft—
Emperor Shuntian suddenly vomited blood and his face lost its color.
He muttered to himself, “How could this be… Why…”
“Shouldn’t my lifespan increase after Great Jing becomes a Sovereign Dynasty?” His tone was filled with unprecedented fear.
He was already 74 years old. It was hard for the previous emperors to live past this age. However, he was different. He had a high realm and allowed Great Jing to become the Sovereign Dynasty of Luck. How could he die so early?
The more he thought about it, the more flustered he felt.
He tried hard to remain calm. He could not tell anyone about this.
He immediately sent an edict.
Chen Li had already become a True God, so it was not difficult for him to live to 150 years old. In his lifetime, he had assisted two emperors.
Not long after, Chen Li swiftly arrived.
When Emperor Shuntian revealed his physical condition, Chen Li’s expression changed drastically.
Even though Chen Li felt that Jiang Che was a pretty good emperor candidate, he still felt that Jiang Che was inferior to Emperor Shuntian. The latter was not only lacking in martial arts, but he also did not have the courage of Emperor Shuntian.
Now that the luck of the dynasty was on the line, Great Jing could not lack an emperor like Emperor Shuntian.
Chen Li immediately sensed Emperor Shuntian’s luck and said in surprise, “Your lifespan is indeed coming to an end, and your luck has been isolated by your meridians… This…”
He suddenly could not understand.
It should not be difficult for an emperor of a Sovereign Dynasty to live past a hundred years old. Even though the Emperor of Great Qi had been abdicated before he reached a hundred years old, most emperors of Sovereign Dynasties would live past a hundred years old.
“Could it be that the rise of Great Jing Dynasty was too hasty? Even though its luck is strong, its foundation is unstable?” Chen Li muttered to himself. He was not asking Emperor Shuntian, but himself.
Emperor Shuntian got up with great difficulty and said, “I am going to Longqi
Temple to find the Dao Ancestor.”
Chen Li hurriedly helped him up. Right now, they could only look for the Dao Ancestor.
In the courtyard, Emperor Shuntian revealed his predicament and Jiang Changsheng immediately examined him.
He did not suffer from qigong deviation nor was he severely injured, but Emperor Shuntian’s internal organs and meridians were weakening. At this rate, he would die in less than a year.
Jiang Changsheng frowned. He raised his hand and took three bottles of medicinal pills from the room. “Eat them first.”
When he saw the medicinal pill, Emperor Shuntian’s heart turned cold.
He gritted his teeth and asked, “Dao Ancestor, is there really no way to live forever in this world?”
Jiang Changsheng said, “No, nothing can escape the cycle of life and death.”
Even though he was immortal, that was under the protection of the Immortal Dao. He could not break the rules of the martial arts world, so he was telling the truth.
Emperor Shuntian was silent.
The expressions of the others were also not very good. They all had a favorable impression of Emperor Shuntian. No emperor had ever been as enthusiastic as Emperor Shuntian. As long as he was in the capital, he would come here every New Year Festival to celebrate together. Even when Jiang Ziyu was in power, he did not bring such excitement because at that time, he only had the heart to unify the continent.
Emperor Shuntian took a deep breath and revealed a smile. “It’s alright. With your medicinal pills, I should be able to last another year or two. I ascended the throne at the age of ten and have experienced all the excitement in this world. It’s not a pity to die.”
Even so, everyone could sense his depression. The one who felt the worst was Jiang Jian. He had sent away his father, mother, brother, and other siblings, and now he was sending away his juniors.
He could not help but look at Jiang Changsheng. He did not know how his grandfather felt.
Jiang Changsheng’s expression was calm and he did not comfort Emperor Shuntian.
Then, Emperor Shuntian pretended to be carefree and left.
Ji Wujun said, “The lifespan of an emperor of s Sovereign Dynasty can indeed be extended, but it is only a possibility. Even the Emperor of the Sacred Dynasty might not live past a hundred years old. The heavens are fair, but when the Emperor enjoys the luck of the common people, he pays for it with the possibility of his lifespan increasing. However, it is rare for him to only live past seventy years of age.”
She had long been indifferent to life and death, so she did not feel much.
Bai Qi felt desolate. She was only in the True God realm, and she would reach the end of her lifespan one day. To be precise, it was the same for all living beings.
She did not dare to imagine the scene of her death from old age.
She stayed by Jiang Changsheng’s side because she wanted to become stronger and live as long as possible.
Ye Xun was the only one absent in the courtyard. Although he was closer to Emperor Shuntian, he was currently participating in the Great Jing Martial Arts
Convention. If he were here, he would definitely be sad.
The atmosphere was silent.
Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.
He had already sent away generations of old friends, and his Dao heart had become more and more firm.
He had obtained the ultimate goal that the world sought. What he had to do was to take this opportunity seriously. He had to live forever.
He did not know if there was a second immortal existence, but he wanted to be an immortal.
Not only did he want to be immortal, but he also wanted to be omnipotent!
He wanted to reach a realm where no one could kill him.
As long as he was here, the life they experienced would have meaning. At least he would remember them.
In a hundred years, with the exception of those who left their names in history, most would be forgotten in less than fifty years. Even in history, there might be a gap.
It was not easy for Jiang Changsheng to live another life, and he did not want to die again.
Outside the capital, on the mountain road, a group of martial artists was moving forward, escorting carriages.
The leader was a white-haired old man. He looked at the magnificent Martial Peak and asked, “Is that the Longqi Temple where the Dao Ancestor is located?”
A middle-aged man smiled and said, “That’s right. You’re also here to pay your respects to the Immortal’s Daoist temple, right? I advise you to queue up before dawn. It’s hard to climb the mountain now, unless you’re skilled in martial arts and can fly up directly.”
The white-haired old man’s eyes revealed a burning desire.
The team continued to move forward.
Four hours later, they queued up to enter the city.
The middle-aged man led them to a mansion and said with a smile, “This mansion was where Emperor Wen lived in the past, and it is very close to Longqi Mountain. Emperor Taizong hated Emperor Wen and sold the place he lived in without any care for Emperor Wen’s reputation. However, after so many years, this mansion has changed owners. All of you are from another city, and the only place that meets your requirements is this mansion.
However, the price…”
The white-haired old man interrupted, “The price is not a problem. Even if the palace is for sale, we can buy it.”
The middle-aged man was amused. “You can’t talk nonsense like that. Even though the Emperor is rather open-minded nowadays, it’s better not to talk nonsense about the current dynasty. By the way, I’ve always wanted to ask you what’s in your carriage. I think it looks like an egg. It’s quite big. Is it a demon beast egg?”
The white-haired old man said indifferently, “Yes.” “May I ask what breed of demon beast it is?” “Snake? Why is it so big?”
“Because it wants to transform into dragons.”
