Chapter 94: Heavenly Lightning Indestructible Divine Body, Human Emperor’s Tablet
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The day after Qi Yuan left the mountain, Jiang Ziyu went to court. He boldly and decisively issued many orders, and the manpower of the luck department was expanded. He was also prepared to form a special army with powerful martial arts. The threshold was tentatively set at the Spiritual Sense realm, and the name of the army was Heavenly Strategy.
This edict was issued to the entire world. Regardless of one’s background, other than prisoners on death row who were wanted by the imperial court, all of them could register for the Heavenly Strategy Army’s test.
Great Jing’s territory was too large. It took a whole year before the world knew about this test. Soon, martial artists from the pugilistic world could be seen rushing to the Si Province every day.
The test venue for the Heavenly Strategy Army was not in the capital, but in another city in the Si Province. Xu Tianji and Ping’an were responsible for guarding it. In a short span of a year, the number of soldiers recorded in the Heavenly Strategy Army exceeded 50,000.
50,000 Spiritual Sense realm soldiers shocked the world.
This was only the beginning!
Year 23 of the Qianwu Era, July.
Jiang Changsheng was teaching the seven-year-old Jiang Jian the Taiqing Sword Technique. At this age, it was not difficult for Jiang Jian to hold the Taihang Sword.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Jian suddenly stopped and shouted,
“Grandmaster, I don’t want to train in the sword!”
Jiang Changsheng smiled and asked, “Then what do you want to train in?”
Jiang Jian scratched his head and said, “I want to train in heavier weapons.” A heavier weapon?
Jiang Changsheng carefully sized up Jiang Jian. Jiang Jian’s birthmark could automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, temper his physical body, and stimulate his true qi. Moreover, he had been staying under the Earth Spirit Tree all year round, so the true qi in his body had reached the Spiritual Sense realm. Just like Ping’an, this kid was also a genius. Jiang Jian’s talent lay in the efficiency of his physical body to stimulate his true qi, while Ping’an’s talent lay in the domineering nature of his physical body.
Even though Jiang Jian’s strength was far inferior to Ping’an, he had sufficient true qi to lift a heavier weapon.
As Jiang Changsheng doted on his grandson, he immediately sent a voice transmission to Hua Jianxin and asked her to look for Jiang Ziyu or Jiang Xiu.
“Jian’er, do you prefer fierce and domineering martial arts instead of unique skills with exquisite moves?” Jiang Changsheng asked.
Jiang Jian nodded and clenched his fist. “In my opinion, I am not strong enough. I don’t need the so-called exquisite martial arts to improve myself. I want to strengthen my body directly.”
He was like a little adult, and he had a way with words.
Bai Qi smiled and said, “You make it sound so easy. Can you compare your body to the body of your Senior Uncle Ping’an? If you see him, you will definitely give up on your current thoughts.”
Jiang Jian glared at her and said, “I’ve never seen him before. One day, I’ll challenge him and test his strength.”
Challenge Ping’an?
He was courting death!
Jiang Changsheng was also worried that Ping’an would accidentally beat this kid to death.
Forget it.
Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes and prepared to create a body tempering technique.
Even though cultivation and martial arts were two different systems, some spells and Divine Powers of the cultivation system could be interlinked with martial arts.
Jiang Changsheng thought of his Heavenly Heart Lightning Technique. With lightning to temper one’s body, although the tempering effect would be much better, it could overdraft the potential of the body. If this ultimate technique could be integrated with other martial arts, it might be able to create an extraordinary technique.
Ever since he created the Heavenly Scripture of the Universe, Jiang
Changsheng had not created any other techniques. Especially after his disciples could not cultivate any spiritual energy when cultivating the Heavenly Scripture of the Universe, he gave up on creating a path. He might as well let his disciples cultivate the martial arts he had collected.
Today, he had broken his vow for his grandson.
He really liked Jiang Jian, even more than he doted on Jiang Xiu.
Perhaps it was because Jiang Xiu had grown up and Jiang Jian was still young.
Three days later, Jiang Xiu personally arrived with a group of White-robed Guards. The White-robed Guards carried knives, spears, and hammers, all of which were heavy weapons.
Jiang Xiu introduced them one by one. When he heard that there was a character in the word ‘halberd’ that was very similar to his name, Jiang Jian was very excited. He pointed at the halberd and said, “Brother, I like this kind of weapon, but can it be heavier?”
Heavier?
Jiang Xiu was stunned. He suddenly remembered that when he was young, his Grandmaster did not have a high evaluation of his martial arts talent. At that time, he was still unconvinced. Now that he looked at Jiang Jian again, he suddenly understood.
His martial arts talent really mediocre.
Even though he felt bitter, Jiang Xiu still agreed with a smile.
At the side, Jiang Changsheng was still thinking with his eyes closed, so Jiang Xiu just bowed to him and left.
A month later, Jiang Xiu brought people over again. Four White-robed Guards carried a ten-foot-long halberd. Jiang Xiu said, “This is made of thousand-year-old black iron and weighs 5700 kilograms. I ordered someone to forge it at the last minute. Even in the Heavenly Strategy Army, there is no such heavy weapon.”
Jiang Jian lifted it, and when he realized that he could not lift it, he immediately rejoiced and said, “Good, good, good. I want this.” You like it just because you can’t lift it?
Jiang Xiu could not understand, but he still accommodated the kid.
After Jiang Xiu and the others left, Jiang Jian continued to try to lift the halberd, but he could not lift it no matter how hard he tried.
Helpless, Jiang Jian could only continue to cultivate the Great Heavenly Cycle Divine Technique.
It was not until the end of the year that Jiang Changsheng finally created a body tempering technique for Jiang Jian. He bestowed it with the name Heavenly Lightning Indestructible Divine Body. This technique combined many body tempering techniques and also contained a unique method to absorb spiritual energy. The heavenly lightning would temper the body and the spiritual energy would repair the body to offset the detrimental effects. As a
result, there was no consequences when it came to training in this technique.
Heavenly Lightning Indestructible Divine Body?
Hearing that, Jiang Jian liked it very much and was extremely excited.
Bai Qi could not help but roll her eyes. What kind of lousy name was that?
Jiang Changsheng began to impart the technique. Even though Bai Qi was complaining internally, she still pricked up her ears to listen.
After Jiang Jian memorized it, he began to cultivate. First, he must master the mental cultivation method, and then he would find lightning to temper his body. Jiang Changsheng had already mastered the Heavenly Thunder mental cultivation method, but he could nurture lightning on his own. Therefore, Jiang Jian did not have to leave Longqi Temple.
Jiang Changsheng looked at Jiang Jian expectantly as he circulated his energy.
It would be interesting if he could nurture an invincible expert in martial arts.
Jiang Jian cultivated both the Great Heavenly Cicle Divine Technique and the Heavenly Lightning Indestructible Divine Body, which was equivalent to obtaining the ultimate techniques of the Xiansheng Grotto-heaven and the Dao Ancestor. He could even obtain guidance from Jiang Changsheng, an expert that far exceeded the Universe realm, when he trained in martial arts. His future was unpredictable.
If that kid, Jiang Luo, came back in the future, they could compare notes.
Jiang Changsheng thought proudly.
He felt that the Heavenly Lightning Indestructible Divine Body was not inferior to the ultimate techniques revealed by Heng Feng. Of course, the Xiansheng Grotto-heaven might have stronger ultimate techniques, but that was a story for another time.
Bai Qi also followed suit and cultivated the Heavenly Lightning Indestructible Divine Body. Jiang Changsheng did not stop her. After all, he should give her some benefits. This wolf had been stuck in the Divine realm and showed no signs of breakthrough. Perhaps the Heavenly Lightning Indestructible Divine Body could help it break through.
Great Jing, Yu Province, Birch County.
In the mountains, Qi Yuan was building a Daoist temple with five men. He also personally helped, which dirtied his white clothes with dust and soil, but he did not care at all.
Under the tree behind them, Qi Yuan’s sister, Qi Sisi, yawned in boredom. She stood up and said, “Brother, why don’t we forget about it? It will probably take more than twenty years for you to finish building all the Daoist temples required. Why bother?”
Qi Yuan did not even turn his head. “If you are sincere, then it will come true. This is also a form of cultivation, a method of teaching.”
Qi Sisi shook her head, unable to understand.
Qi Yuan smiled and said, “You can go back first. You don’t have to care about me. Take care of your sect. I heard that a martial arts sect has been finding trouble with you recently.”
Qi Sisi said in disdain, “That sect doesn’t even have a Heaven Arrival realm expert. They’re just courting death. I’m too lazy to care about them.”
The siblings chatted for a while before Qi Sisi could no longer stay and chose to go back.
Qi Yuan continued to be busy.
He was not tired at all. Instead, he felt unprecedentedly fulfilled. At least he was not confused and knew what to do.
Three days later, the Daoist temple was completed. It was different from a normal Daoist priest’s temple. It was not big and only had the space of a house. Jiang Changsheng’s stone statue stood inside. He had specially asked someone to build it. Even though it looked from Jiang Changsheng, it looked similar.
Two long wooden plaques stood on both sides of the stone statue.
The Dao Ancestor moved the Martial Peak and traveled 3,000 miles a day.
Training in the world of mortals, saving the suffering but also preventing the calamity.
After Qi Yuan distributed the construction fees, he sized up his masterpiece with satisfaction.
That night, he spent the night in the Daoist temple. Sitting in front of the stone statue of the Dao Ancestor, he felt exceptionally at ease. In his dream, he dreamed that the world was peaceful and that he and his sister had returned to Great Qi. His father no longer forced them to fight and marry. Be it the royal family or the commoners, they were equal and free to enjoy what they liked.
The next morning, he rushed to the nearby towns to publicize the Dao Ancestor’s Daoist Temple. The name of the Dao Ancestor had spread to every corner of Great Jing. Therefore, when he publicized the Dao Ancestor’s Daoist Temple, the citizens did not resist. In any case, they did not have to pay any incense money to enter the temple. He took the opportunity to advocate the concept of being anti-war in the world and obtained the support of the citizens.
“It’s going quite smoothly. This path is indeed the right one!”
Qi Yuan happily thought that it was too wise to pay respects to the Dao Ancestor first.
In the 24th year of the Qianwu Era, the Emperor announced to the world that
Great Jing would gather the luck of the world and help Great Jing become a Luck Dynasty next spring. The commoners did not know what a Luck Dynasty was, but as long as they could live a better life, they would support it.
In the imperial study, Jiang Ziyu sat with Jiang Xiu standing beside him. Han Tianji was reporting the situation of the Luck Tower in the various counties at the table.
After the luck department expanded their manpower, Luck Towers had been built everywhere in the world of Great Jing. They were only waiting for an auspicious day to condense the luck of Great Jing. For this reason, Han Tianji built the Human Emperor’s Tablet in the palace. It was made of a special material and was taken from deep underground.
“Everything is ready. We only have to wait for the auspicious time. However, this matter will definitely spread to all the dynasties in the world. There will
definitely be martial artists coming to cause trouble. They will either stop Great Jing from becoming a Luck Dynasty or steal it. We cannot be careless. At present, there are only five Luck Dynasties in the world. Many dynasties were interfered with when they were trying to break through become a Luck Dynasty, causing them to fail and fall from grace.”
Han Tianji said solemnly.
Jiang Ziyu asked, “Who will destroy it? Chao Sect? Or Xiansheng Grotto-heaven?”
Han Tianji shook his head and said, “Naturally, the Xiansheng Grotto-heaven will not come. However, there are still many mysterious experts and sects hidden in this world. Many of them have escaped from the Xiansheng Grotto-heaven. In order to break through the limits of their martial arts, they will do everything they can. Every dynasty that condenses their luck is the time for them to party.”
Jiang Ziyu was deep in thought.
Jiang Xiu smiled and said, “It’s alright. With Grandmaster here, whoever comes will die.”
Han Tianji nodded and said, “The Dao Ancestor is indeed powerful, but we have to be careful. When martial artists steal luck, they will rely on the rare treasures of heaven and earth. The luck that condensed the Human Emperor’s Tablet might be sucked away in an instant. Once the luck is broken, Great Jing will no longer have the chance to become a Luck Dynasty.”
Jiang Xiu frowned. So ridiculous?
That day, Jiang Ziyu sent Jiang Xiu to visit Jiang Changsheng and inform him of the matter.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Do as you wish. I’m here.”
As he cultivated, he stared at Jiang Jian. This kid had only cultivated the Heavenly Lightning Indestructible Divine Body for half a year, but his muscles and bones had already transformed. It seemed like he was indeed suitable for this kind of body tempering technique..
