[Requires 3,700,000,000 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]
When Jiang Changsheng saw the notification, he raised his eyebrows.
It had increased by nearly three hundred million incense points. He wondered if it was the strongest expert he had calculated before. His rationality told him that it should not be the case.
How many years had it been? How could it increase so quickly?
Jiang Changsheng spread out his spiritual will and not long after, he retracted
it.
For the time being, there was no Heaven and Earth Emperor realm existence within the range of his spiritual will, so Great Jing was still very safe.
Only then did he relax and continue to watch the battle.
Ji Wujun sat beside him and asked softly, “Dao Ancestor, are the two resurrected ancient Martial Emperors fighting?”
Jiang Changsheng said, “Yes.”
Ji Wujun added, “They will certainly not fight to the death, because there’s no need. I’m worried that after they decide the winner, they will begin to resurrect other ancient Martial Emperors and continuously strengthen their forces. Once this force is formed, it will certainly threaten the human race and the demon race. They might even become the strongest race.”
“There’s nothing we can do about it.”
“I hope the human race can hide the remains of those ancient Martial Emperors. There are at least nine corpses of ancient Martial Emperors in the endless ocean. I can’t imagine how powerful they would be if eleven Martial Emperors joined hands.”
“This is what humans should experience. It’s useless for you to worry. Instead of worrying for nothing, it’s better to work hard to become stronger. The Martial Emperor realm should not be the highest realm of humans. Stronger people should appear. I think highly of you. You have the talent to become a Martial Emperor. Don’t overestimate them just because they are ancient.”
Even though Jiang Changsheng was staring at the south, his expression was serious and his tone did not seem to be fake.
Ji Wujun’s heartbeat sped up when she heard that.
She was confident about her talent, but she was not that confident.
Could she really surpass those Martial Emperors?
Ji Wujun became excited. The Dao Ancestor never lied. Besides, he was an immortal, so his horizons were naturally higher than ordinary people.
“I will definitely train well and not let you down!”
Ji Wujun said in a deep voice, then got up, walked to her position, and began to meditate.
Bai Qi could not help but tease, “You really believe it? Master must be comforting you. ”
Ji Wujun glanced at her and said, “Has the Dao Ancestor ever comforted you like this?”
Bai Qi’s smile froze as if she had been struck by lightning.
Jiang Changsheng’s lips curled up. It was evident that he was amused. Bai Qi noticed his expression and felt even more uncomfortable. She pressed her head
with her claws and felt ashamed.
Another two days passed.
After the war between the Martial Emperors ended, Emperor Wu Ren was defeated and surrendered to the sloppy old man. They then flew towards the west of the endless ocean.
Spring passed and autumn came. Every year, it would wilt and wither.
Five years passed in the blink of an eye.
Year 9 of the Changle Era.
In the imperial garden of the palace.
Emperor Jiang Qing laid in a pool and enjoyed the hot water, looking lazy.
As he was more than a hundred years old, he was getting thinner and thinner. Under the sunlight, the lines of his ribs were so clear.
A eunuch walked over quickly and laid down by the pool as he whispered into his ear.
Jiang Qing slowly opened his eyes and said, “In that case, did he succeed?”
The eunuch lowered his head and said, “It’s said that it’s all thanks to a secret technique given by Concubine Yu. Your Majesty, Concubine Yu is not simple. She also has a mysterious force outside who helps the previous emperor to send over all sorts of medicinal ingredients. Many of the ingredients were not recorded in the state treasury.”
Jiang Qing frowned.
He hated Concubine Yu, mainly because ever since she appeared, Jiang Che rarely visited his mother. A few years ago, his mother died of depression, which made him even more dissatisfied with Concubine Yu.
Even though he hated her, he did not attack Concubine Yu because he was the Emperor. He understood Jiang Che’s thoughts about his mother. The Empress was not always the Emperor’s favorite woman. She was just the most suitable. Even though he understood the reason, he still hated Concubine Yu every time he thought of her. If Concubine Yu had not appeared, Jiang Che would not have neglected his mother. After all, before Concubine Yu appeared, there was no woman that Jiang Che liked so much.
“In that case, have the people from the Ancestral Palace keep an eye on it. I want to obtain that secret technique.”
Jiang Qing ordered. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly could not help but cough, and his face turned pale.
The eunuch nervously asked, “Your Majesty, did you catch a cold?”
Jiang Qing’s expression was unnatural as he said, “It’s nothing. You may leave.” The eunuch immediately bowed and left.
Jiang Qing slowly sat up. His hands were clenched into fists in the pool, and his brows were filled with worry.
“It’s time for me to practice martial arts…”
Ever since he obtained the Human King’s Inheritance from Jing Tianzong when he was young, he had not trained again because he was strong enough. Being in the imperial family, it was already difficult for him to squeeze out time for fun, so how could he continue to train?
He had always believed that instead of chasing after high-level martial arts to increase his lifespan, it was better to enjoy this life. Martial arts could increase one’s lifespan, but the pursuit itself was a waste of one’s lifespan. In a sense, one might not necessarily enjoy life longer than ordinary people.
But today, he suddenly panicked.
The Human King’s Inheritance only allowed him to possess the strength of the Universe realm. If he wanted to increase his lifespan, he had to walk the path of martial arts again and break through the later realms to increase his lifespan.
“So even I am afraid of death..
Jiang Qing’s expression was complicated. In the past, he did not have so many pursuits. Now that he had ascended to the throne, he did not want to die just like that.
On the other side.
Within the palace.
Jiang Che sat in a medicinal cauldron. Steam curled around him, and the boiling hot potion made his body turn red. The potion was blood-colored, and it was so terrifying.
Concubine Yu stood by the medicinal cauldron and nervously stared at Jiang
Che. She asked, “Your Majesty, are you alright?”
Jiang Che slowly said, “Very good. Unprecedentedly good. Concubine Yu, your secret technique is indeed amazing. Perhaps I can really survive my fate.”
Concubine Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “This is the Sky Stealing Divine Technique my race found in the imperial palace. From the looks of it, it does have the profundity of stealing the heavenly secrets.”
“I can sense the boundless vitality in my body. I have never been so energetic. However, this technique violates the concepts of the secular world and cannot be leaked, let alone spread to the human race. Otherwise, it will destroy the foundation of the human race in Great Jing.”
Jiang Che opened his eyes and stared at Concubine Yu as he spoke seriously.
Concubine Yu nodded and said, “Your Majesty, don’t worry. It’s just that the
Emperor’s men have been asking around recently. I’m afraid…”
Jiang Che curled his lips and revealed a contemptuous smile. “That little bastard also dares to stuff people around me. Don’t worry about him. Most of his thoughts are on the so-called blissful rule, so it won’t affect me.”
Concubine Yu revealed a smile. She rolled her eyes and asked, “Your Majesty, when are we leaving the capital? When we return to my spirit race, we will definitely be able to help you find more medicinal ingredients and the blood essence of ferocious beasts.”
Jiang Che shook his head and said, “My dear concubine, haven’t you noticed? The Sky Stealing Divine Technique is not suitable to be used on ferocious beasts. Demon beasts are more suitable for me. I cannot follow you to the Great Wilderness. At present, there are no traces of demon beasts in the Great Wilderness.”
Concubine Yu became anxious and said, “Your Majesty, how can there be no demons in the Great Wilderness? The definition of demons is broad..
“I’ve made up my mind. Stop talking.”
Jiang Che snorted and closed his eyes.
Concubine Yu’s expression darkened, but she did not say anything else. Instead, she walked to the side and continued to add medicinal ingredients for Jiang Che.
Year 10 of the Changle Era, end of April.
Jiang Changsheng’s clone returned again. He created another clone and asked it to leave with the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror.
The reason why he had to absorb his clone every time was because he wanted to receive the experience of his clone while he was at it. Although he could switch to the perspective of his clone, he was usually busy cultivating and did not have the time to care about his clone. Therefore, he just had to read his memories once at the end of each trip.
And this time, the memories of his clone made him raise his eyebrows.
A few years ago, when his clone was touring the Great Wilderness, he discovered another imperial palace. On the stone tablet inside, he learned about the Ten Great Divine Arts of the imperial family. These ten divine arts were all exquisite and could steal lifespan, transfer karma, rewind the time of an individual living being, and so on. These had exceeded the definition of martial arts. Looking at their introduction, they had the profundity of stepping into the rules of the martial arts world.
Unfortunately, there was no cultivation method for the top ten divine arts on the stone tablet. It was only said that the experts of the imperial family had once relied on these Ten Great Divine Arts to sweep through the Great Wilderness and had never tasted defeat.
“How many imperial palaces are hidden in the Great Wilderness and how powerful was the imperial family?”
Jiang Changsheng thought silently.
To be able to dominate the Great Wilderness, the martial arts techniques of the imperial family must be absolutely terrifying. It was not something the martial arts techniques of the human race could compare to.
He sent a voice transmission to his clones and asked it to pay more attention to these imperial palaces.
In the Great Wilderness, there was a group of beings who wanted to resurrect the imperial family. In other words, Jiang Changsheng would have to face the imperial family sooner or later. Facing such an opponent, it was always a good thing to know more.
He closed his eyes and continued to train.
Days passed.
Early May.
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and looked to the north.
He sensed an extremely powerful aura.
Humans were finally targeted by the powerful races of the Great Wilderness!
On the other side, in the Great Wilderness.
Huge ferocious birds flapped their wings and flew around. Their bodies were like eagles and their heads were like vultures. There was a circle of red fur on their necks. From afar, the red fur was very conspicuous. Their claws were exceptionally sharp and the feathers on their bodies flickered with a cold glint under the sunlight.
Each ferocious bird had a wingspan of nearly 5,000 feet, and figures could be seen standing on their backs. All of them were 200 feet tall. Their lower bodies were like horses, while their upper bodies were like humans. There were both male and female creatures, and they had two curved horns on their foreheads. All of them were strong, and their robes made of animal skin bulged.
The horseman in the lead was the strongest. His arms alone were thicker than the waist of most of his tribe members. The horns on his forehead were also longer than the other tribesmen. They were similar to two curved swords and he wore a large robe embedded with black scales. His eyebrows were burning with deep cyan flames and his eyes were fierce as he looked ahead.
“I can already sense the boundless vitality. I didn’t expect there to be so many humans.”
The flame-browed man sneered with an extremely cruel smile.
A tall and thin tribesman smiled and said, “How many years has it been? The human race has finally returned. I heard that even though the human race is small, the taste of them is extremely wonderful. I wonder if it’s true.”
The flame-browed man snorted and said, “All you know is to eat. Don’t forget the mission that Master Jiuyou gave us.”
The tall and thin man nodded and said, “Leader, don’t worry. I was just saying it casually. Then again, can the return of the human race be related to the resurrection period of the imperial family? Otherwise, why would Master Jiuyou care so much? The human race is merely one of the weak races that was expelled.. Is it worth our Lie Race taking action personally?”
