Chapter 97: Third Eye, Who’s Qjushuang?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiang Changsheng channeled his spiritual energy to Jiang Jian to stop the bleeding. However, the luck in the kid’s body was getting more and more violent as it rampaged around. At this rate, Jiang Jian’s muscles and bones would definitely break until he died.
Jiang Changsheng frowned and realized that Jiang Jian was in big trouble.
In the end, the power of this world rejected the Dao patterns. For this world, Jiang Jian was an anomaly.
Even if he wanted to draw out the luck, it was too late because there was too much.
Jiang Changsheng suddenly thought of something and immediately revealed his Dao patterns. The Dao patterns opened their Eyes of the Great Dao and emitted a golden light that shone on Jiang Jian’s birthmark.
As expected, this birthmark was also a Dao pattern. The power of the Dao pattern could mutually assist each other. Jiang Changsheng used the power of the Eyes of the Great Dao to increase the power of Jiang Jian’s Dao pattern, causing it to begin to absorb luck.
Jiang Changsheng could not absorb luck, but Jiang Jian could. After all, Jiang Jian was a martial artist.
However, martial arts could only stimulate one’s physique and true qi. Therefore, if Jiang Jian forcefully absorbed too much, it was still easy for him to die if the amount of luck he absorbed exceeded the amount of true qi stimulated.
Jiang Changsheng suddenly had a bold idea.
He compressed this huge amount of luck into the Dao patterns. As Jiang Jian grew, it would slowly release the trapped luck to quench his breakthrough until it was exhausted.
A huge amount of luck surged into the space between Jiang Jian’s eyebrows. The Dao pattern cracked and blood overflowed. Soon after, an eyeball slowly condensed. The combination of the Dao pattern and luck formed something equivalent to a low-quality Eye of the Great Dao.
“He has really become God Erlang.”
Jiang Changsheng muttered to himself, his eyes filled with pity.
This kid had suffered.
He personally wiped the blood off Jiang Jian’s forehead and waited for the Eye of the Great Dao to condense before he closed his own.
From then on, a monster would be born in the world of martial arts!
After this transformation, it would be easier for Jiang Jian’s Eyes of the Great Dao to absorb luck in the future. However, by doing this, he could only practice martial arts and could not break free from the rules of the martial arts world.
Jiang Changsheng looked at him for a while before he retracted his gaze and walked out of the house.
Hua Jianxin immediately came over and nervously asked, “How is Jian’er?”
She treasured this grandson of hers the most. After all, she was the one who raised him.
Jiang Changsheng said, “He’ll be fine after a night of rest. However, he has changed.”
Changed?
Hua Jianxin was even more nervous, but she did not dare to enter rashly and could only wait.
The next day at noon.
When Jiang Jian woke up, he pushed open the door and rubbed his eyes. As if he had just woken up, he mumbled, “Grandaunt..
Hua Jianxin, Bai Qi, and Wang Chen turned around and were immediately stunned.
A vertical eye appeared between Jiang Jian’s brows, and it was half-opened. With an additional eye, Jiang Jian looked rather handsome. He was still young, but he exuded an indescribable dignity.
Hua Jianxin turned to Jiang Changsheng and asked, “What’s going on?”
Jiang Changsheng said, “In short, he’s fine.”
After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the courtyard, preparing to find a place to plant the Jade Bone Green Bamboo Forest.
The Jade Bone Green Bamboo Forest had ten seeds, and it would take many years for it to form a forest. Therefore, he did not intend to use the bamboo shoots in the beginning.
Right now, only their courtyard was occupied, so there were many places to plant the seeds. However, he did not want it to be too far away from his courtyard. After all, the Jade Bone Green Bamboo Forest could generate spiritual energy.
After the planting was successful, Jiang Changsheng instructed Wang Chen to take care of the bamboo garden. Wang Chen did not see any bamboo shoots and did not understand where the bamboo garden came from, but he still chose to accept the order. He believed that there would be one in the future.
Several days later.
Jiang Ziyu and Jiang Xiu came to see Jiang Jian.
When the father and son saw that Jiang Jian had an extra eye, they were both shocked.
Jiang Jian was already accustomed to his third eye, and he was even showing off proudly.
When Jiang Ziyu thought of Jiang Changsheng’s mystical abilities, he quickly came to a realization. So this was the real appearance of the birthmark. These birthmarks might not have fully grown into a third eye, so their flesh and blood rotted into a birthmark.
Jiang Xiu looked at Jiang Jian with a complicated expression. After the dynasty ceremony, Jiang Jian’s performance was widely spread in the capital. For a moment, many people deified Jiang Jian, just like when Jiang Ziyu was born and was known as the reincarnation of the Golden-winged Great Roc. At that time, Jiang Yuan was the one who arranged for Jiang Ziyu’s legend to be spread, but Jiang Jian was different.
How could a mortal have three eyes?
Jiang Xiu suddenly felt a trace of fear towards Jiang Jian. He was worried that Jiang Jian had the intention to ascend the throne in the future.
Ever since the establishment of the dynasty, all the crown princes had not had a good ending…
Jiang Changsheng said, “Jian’er will still follow me in the future. Jian’er, do you want to be a prince, or do you want to concentrate on practicing martial arts?”
Jiang Jian raised his head and said arrogantly, “To train in martial arts, of course. What’s the point of being a prince? I want to become stronger. First, I have to defeat Huang Chuan, then I have to defeat Senior Uncle Ping’an, and finally, I have to chase after Grandmaster.”
Hearing this, Jiang Ziyu could not help but laugh and reach out to stroke his head.
Jiang Xiu’s expression turned for the better. He was secretly ashamed of what he was worried about.
Great Jing was different from before. As long as Grandmaster was here, he would definitely uphold justice for him.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard became lively and cheerful. Jiang Jian even picked up his halberd and showed his father and brother his current martial arts practice.
Jiang Changsheng retracted his gaze and continued to cultivate.
Jiang Jian was merely an ornament of his life. No matter how hard Jiang Jian trained, it was impossible for him to catch up to him. He did not need anyone to protect him.
He only believed in himself. He wanted to continue to be powerful until he became the strongest. Then, he would continue to widen the gap between him and all living beings and become an absolute invincible existence.
The establishment of Great Jing as a Luck Dynasty shocked the world. The other dynasties and the Chao Sects realized that Great Jing had grown up and was now an overlord dynasty.
More and more dynasties and large sects in the martial arts world began to send envoys to the capital, wanting to be on good terms with Great Jing.
The Chao Sects even sent someone to visit the Emperor and declared that they were willing to accept princes as their disciples to befriend him.
Jiang Ziyu was originally very resistant, but Han Tianji reminded him, “The Luck Dynasty has been established, and the luck of Great Jing is concentrated on the imperial power. The Chao Sects can no longer seize the luck by force. Unless they slaughter the entire royal family of Great Jing, the luck of Great Jing will dissipate and be absorbed again. Right now, it’s a good thing for the various sects to rope in the princes. If the princes practice martial arts and become stronger in each sect, it can ensure that the royal family of the Great Jing will get stronger. If they can obtain a position in the Chao Sects, they can help Great Jing to rope in some forces.”
Jiang Ziyu asked, “If the disciples of the Chao Sects become the next emperor, will Great Jing be controlled by the Chao Sects?”
Han Tianji said, “Even if it happens, it will only help the Chao Sects gather resources and increase their strength. With the providence of Great Jing, there will be an endless stream of martial arts geniuses. Every generation of emperor will change, and the Chao Sects will fight openly and covertly. However, the Jiang Family will still have the territory. Besides, Great Jing still has the Longqi Temple. In the future, if we let the crown prince go to the Longqi Temple to train, not only can we guarantee the imperial power, but we can also rope in the Chao Sects.”
“It’s the same for the other dynasties. There are many figures of the Chao Sects behind them. It just depends on which side has the greatest influence. Ordinary dynasties might have their luck arbitrarily controlled by the Chao Sects, causing their martial arts world to decline. A Luck Dynasty is different. Even with the Chao Sects in power, our martial arts world will become stronger as luck increases.”
“In addition, the princes going to Chao Sects to train in martial arts will help the Great Jing imperial family expand their martial arts foundation. ”
Jiang Ziyu felt that it made sense, but he still went to ask Jiang Changsheng’s opinion.
Jiang Ziyu was relieved when Jiang Changsheng agreed.
In Jiang Changsheng’s opinion, this decision was not a foolproof one, but the hidden dangers could turn into his survival rewards.
With him around, Great Jing could absorb the power of the Chao Sects and ensure their imperial status.
Jiang Changsheng had an unlimited amount of time to suppress the Chao Sects.
When Great Jing unified the world, the Chao Sects would be suppressed by the imperial power and become one of its martial arts sects.
Jiang Ziyu took this opportunity to take out a pearl. This was left behind by the thief when they were killed in the main hall. This pearl could absorb luck. With this pearl, the efficiency of a martial artist in absorbing luck would be higher.
He wanted to offer it to Jiang Changsheng, but he was rejected.
Absorbing luck?
It was just a small path!
Jiang Ziyu was touched. He thought that Jiang Changsheng wanted to leave it to him. At the thought of this, he was not pretentious and left with the pearl.
After Great Jing established itself as a Luck Dynasty, its luck continued to increase with the help of the dragon vein. The weather was good everywhere, and there were fewer and fewer disasters. The ordinary dynasties around it also paid tributes, fearing that they would be annexed by Great Jing.
Jiang Ziyu was indeed ambitious, but he had learned his lesson and did not expand immediately. Instead, he accumulated strength to expand the Heavenly Strategy Army.
At this point, the real golden age of Great Jing had arrived. Tributes were paid by foreign dynasties, martial arts were prosperous, the territory was vast, the land was fertile, and the resources were increasingly abundant. All kinds of new resources were constantly emerging from the ground, and the economy was constantly rising.
The rule of Qianwu was destined to leave a strong mark in the history books.
In the blink of an eye.
Three years later.
The 28th year of the Qianwu Era.
On the mountain path of Martial Peak, an old man followed the devotees up the mountain. It was Meng Qiuhe.
The capital had become the most prosperous place in the world, causing Longqi Temple to be filled with devotees. In a short span of three years, Longqi
Temple had become the richest sect in the world. The number of disciples of Longqi Temple had also reached two thousand, and tens of thousands of people went up and down the mountain every day.
As Meng Qiuhe ascended the mountain, he turned to look at the ancient mountain that had become a restricted area. He was filled with emotions.
If he had not left Longqi Temple, what would have happened?
At the very least, he would not be alone.
Meng Qiuhe walked all the way up the mountain and finally arrived at the entrance. The devotees lined up to buy incense and enter the temple. Meng Qiuhe obediently queued up. He had his own purpose for today’s visit, so he did not want to cause trouble.
All of a sudden, Meng Qiuhe’s gaze was attracted by a beautiful figure.
There were many disciples guarding the entrance. Other than selling incense, they also had to point the way for the visitors, this also included Qing’Er.
Meng Qiushuang had reincarnated in the ninth year of Qianwu, so Qing’er was now nineteen years old. She had grown up and was slender and elegant, with an exceptionally outstanding temperament.
For some reason, Meng Qiuhe felt that Qing’er resembled his sister. However, he had met a disciple of Longqi Temple over the years and from that disciple, he knew that Meng Qiushuang had passed away for nearly twenty years.
After waiting for a long time, it was finally Meng Qiuhe’s turn. After Meng Qiuhe bought some incense, he found Qing’er and said, “Little girl, can you walk around with me? I’m willing to exchange all my money for incense money.”
Qing’er wanted to refuse, but seeing that he was very old, she could not bear to refuse, so she nodded in agreement. “You are as kind as Qiushuang.”
Qing’er supported IVIeng Qiune as tney walked towards tne Damst temple wnen Meng Qiuhe suddenly lamented.
Qing’er could not help but ask, “Who is Qiushuang?”
Meng Qiuhe lamented, “Haven’t you heard of your former eldest disciple, Meng Qiushuang?”
Qing’er suddenly came to a realization and asked curiously, “I’ve heard of her, but I didn’t expect you to know the previous eldest disciple of Longqi Temple..
May I know your background?”
