Chapter 53: Heavenly Duke Gouchen’s Great Feather Robe, Battle for the Crown Prince
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
[In the 6th year of the Zhen Yu Era, Grandmaster Divine Monk Juexin consumed a divine pill and burned his blood and lifespan to forcefully reach the True God realm. He fought to the death with you and you successfully survived his challenge. You survived a calamity and obtained a survival reward—Treasure, Great Feathered Robe.]
As soon as Jiang Changsheng sat down in his room, a line of words appeared in front of him.
It was another treasure!
As expected, after all it came from a True God realm expert!
Jiang Changsheng sighed inwardly. He hoped that there would be more True God realm expert in the world.
He immediately took out the Great Feathered Robe, and a white robe that was suffused with green light appeared in his hand. There were feather patterns on the robe, and the green light was like a layer of gauze draped over the robe, making it look very imposing.
Jiang Changsheng immediately changed into it, and his aura suddenly changed. He then also inherited the memories of this treasure.
The Great Feather Robe was made from the feathers of a certain divine beast and the green light of the sun rising from the horizon. It had twelve layers of restrictions and had extremely strong defense. After injecting spiritual energy, its defense would increase greatly.
Not bad, not bad. A life-saving treasure!
There was the Golden Scale Jade Leaf for attack and the Great Feathered Robe for defense. It could be said that both his offensive means and defensive means were without any weakness.
Jiang Changsheng sized up his new clothes happily.
At the same time, the entire city was still discussing the peerless battle just now. The words ‘True God’ spread throughout the city. From now on, the martial artists of the thirteen prefectures would recognize a brand new realm, a realm that would make the martial arts world go crazy.
Within the estate.
Ping—
Emperor Jiang Yu smashed a porcelain bottle on the ground, his face filled with anger. He glared at the Fortune Buddha and roared in a low voice, “How can we fight? Immortal Master Changsheng can even kill a True God realm expert with a single strike. What can I use to fight him? Not to mention absorbing his power, even restoring Chu is an extravagant hope. He has already openly supported King Wei. I can’t do anything to him. Don’t force me anymore. If the Dragon Tower is so capable, come and subdue him first before we talk about restoring Chu!”
The Fortune Buddha’s expression was ugly. He hated Jiang Changsheng not only for the sake of his mission to restore Chu, but also for the sake of avenging his brother. However, today’s battle terrified him.
He had never seen such powerful true qi in his life, but in the end…
Emperor Jiang Yu sat down and tried his best to calm down. “Go back and tell the Dragon Tower about my attitude.”
In fact, he was not filled with anticipation when it came to restoring Chu. The reason why he was willing to restore Chu was firstly because the Mahayana Dragon Tower forced him to do so, and secondly, he had to restore Chu because he needed the help of the five Grandmasters and the Mahayana Dragon Tower. Now that the situation had collapsed, his thoughts of restoring Chu had faded.
He also knew that once Chu was restored, he would be free for a lifetime at most, but he would leave behind an eternal infamy.
Although he favored the Crown Prince, he cared more about himself. At most, he would let King Wei ascend the throne. In any case, he was his son, so it was not embarrassing.
The Fortune Buddha snorted and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Emperor Jiang Yu continued to recall what he had seen and heard before. As a martial arts practitioner, he had ambitions for the True God realm and yearned for Immortal Master Changsheng’s cultivation.
“Perhaps I should increase my strength…’
Emperor Jiang Yu’s eyes flickered as he muttered to himself.
On the other side.
After Longqi Temple disciples buried Divine Monk Juexin, the disciples began to discuss the previous battle excitedly. The young disciples even began to do a play about the battle between Jiang Changsheng and Divine Monk Juexin. The entire Daoist temple seemed to be celebrating the New Year.
Bai Qi was also very excited. It chased after Wang Chen and asked non-stop. He wanted to know how long Elder Jiang had lived and who its master was.
In fact, Wang Chen did not know much, but he still did not tell it what he knew. He was very wary of Bai Qi, which made Bai Qi grit its teeth.
That night, when Jiang Changsheng came out of the house, his robe stunned
Wang Chen, Bai Qi, and Huang Chuan.
“Master, what kind of robe is this? This is too..
Huang Chuan widened his eyes and asked excitedly. He could not describe it with words.
If modern people were here, the rpbe could be described as having special effects.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “This magic robe I refined myself is not bad, right? However, the materials for this robe can only be made into one piece, so I can’t refine it for you.”
Refining?
Huang Chuan, Wang Chen, and Bai Qi did not understand, but they were shocked.
They only had one feeling. Jiang Changsheng, who had changed into the Great Feathered Robe, was really like an immortal.
In the following period of time, Longqi Temple was filled with devotees. For a while, he earned a lot of incense money, far more than before. With this stream of devotees, Jiang Changsheng’s incense value increased, making him happy every day.
Even so, Jiang Changsheng refused to see any devotees. Fortunately, Huang Chuan was a Heaven Arrival realm expert and was enough to help Meng Qiushuang and the others deal with everything.
That month, the martial arts world in Great Jing was shaken. Every corner of the thirteen prefectures was talking about the battle between Divine Monk Juexin and Immortal Master Changsheng. Immortal Master Changsheng’s reputation had reached its peak. In the past, the title ‘Martial Arts Legend’ was just an empty title. Now, he was a true legend in the hearts of martial arts
practitioners.
In May, the Emperor summoned King Wei back. Great news also came from the battlefield of Ancient Han. Ancient Han had also surrendered. If they did not surrender, they would be exterminated and thus have no choice but to submit.
The people of Great Jing hated Ancient Han to the core, and so did the
Emperor. The Emperor almost caused the empire to collapse because of
Ancient Han, and he immediately sent a large number of envoys to Ancient Han to help the Crown Prince’s army enslave them. In order to prevent them from holding on, he could only stop the war. However, even if he stopped the war, the Emperor would make the Ancient Han people live worse than pigs and dogs!
The Crown Prince also began his return journey that month.
The empire was stable, but the influential people in the capital knew that a new storm was about to arrive, and that was the battle for the crown prince.
For a time, the civil and military officials in the court secretly moved around. The Yang family and the Chen family were also trying to rope in people wantonly. For this, Immortal Master Changsheng was their best bargaining chip.
In the past, the civil and military officials thought that no matter how strong a martial artist was, they would not be able to shake the foundation of the country. However, after witnessing that peerless battle with their own eyes, they were shaken. They felt that Immortal Master Changsheng really had the ability to fight against an army of ten thousand. In addition, King Wei’s troops were strong and he had many experts under him. He might really be able to defeat the Crown Prince.
Late at night.
Hua Jianxin came to Jiang Changsheng’s room and reported the Emperor’s recent situation.
“Recently, the White-robed Guards have been arresting martial artists wantonly. The Emperor often enters the Heaven Prison. And every time he leaves, a group of experts will suddenly die. There must be a conspiracy,” Hua Jianxin said worriedly.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “The Emperor is proficient in a unique technique that absorbs people’s power. You should be careful for next period of time and remember to bring the talisman I gave you.”
Hua Jianxin was moved and asked in shock, “There’s such an evil martial art in the world?”
“Of course.”
“Then why aren’t you taking action? Now that the crown has almost been determined, if we kill him, Ziyu can smoothly control the government.” “There’s no hurry. You can view it as if I’m raising leeks.”
“Leeks?”
“Ziyu is coming back. Get ready to take over the White-robed Guards. The battle for the throne is about to begin. Let’s see if the Mahayana Dragon Tower dares to attack. If they don’t, then I don’t want to wait anymore. If Ziyu wants to ascend the throne, he can do so at any time.”
“Alright, I understand.”
Hua Jianxin replied. Although she did not understand Jiang Changsheng’s intention of letting the Emperor absorb other people’s power, she still chose to believe Jiang Changsheng.
She did not know that Jiang Changsheng would regularly leave his body to visit the Emperor in his soul form. The reason he was doing this because he wanted to wait until the Emperor was strong enough before exchanging him for more valuable survival rewards.
From the looks of it, it was almost impossible for Emperor Jiang Yu to surpass the True God realm.
Although that mysterious cultivation technique looked powerful, the price one had to pay to use it was also very high. If one’s true qi was chaotic, it would injure their eight extraordinary meridians and consume their lifespan. If there was no price, the Mahayana Dragon Tower would have long relied on this ultimate technique to nurture a large number of True God realm expert.
July.
Something big happened at Longqi Temple. Meng Qiushuang abdicated and was conferred the title of ‘Teacher of Disciples’ by Jiang Changsheng. Since then, Wan Li became the new eldest disciple and controlled the affairs of the temple.
On this day, Meng Qiushuang brought a young girl to Jiang Changsheng.
Huang Chuan also followed.
“Daoist Master, this girl’s name is Liu Wuyin. Her mother recently died of illness and sent her to the Daoist temple when she was alive. I think her potential is extraordinary. If she is nurtured well, she will definitely become another Heaven Arrival realm expert for Longqi Temple.”
Meng Qiushuang smiled and said. The current Longqi Temple far exceeded the past. There were Jiang Changsheng as a Martial Arts Legend, Huang Chuan as a flag, and hundreds of disciples representing the future.
Jiang Changsheng looked at Liu Wuyin. Liu Wuyin looked to be twelve to thirteen years old and was extremely nervous, not daring to look up at him.
He had seen her before, as well as his mother.
Previously, this pair of mother and daughter had secretly come to see him before, which had left an impression on him.
Liu Wuyun…
Jiang Changsheng immediately flipped through the list of life trajectories.
[In the 17th year of the Jing Dynasty, a woman from the martial arts world, Liu Luoyin, came to spar with you because of hatred. You crushed her thoughts and passed through a karma…]
So it was her daughter.
When Jiang Changsheng thought of Liu Luoyin, he felt that the woman’s thoughts were abnormal. However, she was no longer around, so he let bygones be bygones.
He carefully sized up Liu Wuyin and realized that this woman’s physique was special. Her meridians were extremely cold, but she was definitely a martial arts genius. Just like Huang Chuan, her pores could spontaneously absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Although it was very weak, after accumulating over time, she would definitely have a lot more true qi than ordinary people who also cultivated.
Huang Chuan said, “Master, she is indeed talented. Furthermore, the Daoist temple lacks a female disciple with outstanding martial arts. It’s fine for me to teach male disciples, but sometimes… it’s inconvenient for me to face female disciples.”
Meng Qiushuang and Mingyue’s aptitudes were average. Their martial arts realm had reached the limit and they could not become true experts.
Jiang Changsheng thought for a moment and said, “Forget about taking in a disciple. In the future, you can come to my courtyard every morning, and I’ll teach you how to cultivate.”
Meng Qiushuang was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Liu Wuyun to kowtow and thank him.
Liu Wuyun knelt down excitedly and chatted for a while before leaving with Meng Qiushuang.
Jiang Changsheng looked in the direction they left and sighed. “The Daoist temple is getting more and more lively. Chuan’er, when you have time, bring your disciples to explore the mountains and expand the Daoist temple.”
Although Longqi Mountain was not big, most of it was still a forest. Wild grass was everywhere, so there was a lot of development space.
Huang Chuan smiled and nodded. He gradually took on many responsibilities of Longqi Temple, and he was also enjoying it.
Several days later.
When King Wei returned to the capital, he immediately came to visit Jiang Changsheng.
Xu Tianji, Ping’an, Jiang Yu, and Zong Tianwu followed. As for the Four Seas Sage, he did not dare to come, but Jiang Changsheng had already sensed his aura wandering at the foot of the mountain.
“Ping’an, come here and let me take a good look.”
Jiang Changsheng waved his hand and smiled. Ping’an had already changed drastically. His body was like a ferocious beast, and there was killing intent between his brows. He was intimidating and had many scars on his body.
As soon as Pingan arrived in front of Jiang Changsheng, he began to smile foolishly. He squatted beside Jiang Changsheng and leaned on his shoulder like a child.
As Jiang Changsheng checked his muscles and bones, he looked at Jiang Ziyu and praised, “Ziyu has also transformed. I’m very gratified.”
When Jiang Ziyu heard this, he could not hold it in anymore. His eyes turned red, but he still smiled proudly and said, “Master, I didn’t embarrass you, right?
We beat the Jin Dynasty into submission…”
He began to brag about his experiences over the years.
Jiang Changsheng listened seriously with a smile.
Zong Tianwu looked at Bai Qi under the Earth Spirit Tree and muttered to Xu Tianji, “Why is there another demon wolf?”
They were in the Divine realm and naturally could sense the demonic aura on Bai Qi’s body.
Xu Tianji said nonchalantly, “He has already raised a snake. What’s wrong with raising another wolf?”
After saying that, he walked over to play with White Dragon. In response, White Dragon moved its huge body and came over to interact with him..
