Chapter 99: Unprecedented Emperor
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Hearing Jiang Changsheng’s words, Jiang Xiu could only agree. He blindly trusted his Grandmaster and felt that he might be able to forge heavier weapons.
After Jiang Xiu left, Jiang Jian came to Jiang Changsheng excitedly and constantly made his requests.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “I already have an idea. Just you wait.”
Jiang Jian was worried about Jiang Changsheng’s aesthetics. At that moment,
Huang Chuan’s voice sounded from afar. “Jiang Jian, come and fight!”
Hearing this, Jiang Jian immediately turned around and hooked the 5,000-kilogram halberd with his right foot. He caught the halberd with one hand and quickly rushed out of the courtyard.
Since two years ago, Huang Chuan discovered that Jiang Jian’s strength was not weak and that he was basically another Ping’an. Therefore, he took the initiative to spar with Jiang Jian and tortured him. Jiang Jian was unconvinced and after a few exchanges, the two of them often sparred.
The two of them usually sparred at Longqi Mountain, as Jiang Jian rarely went to Martial Peak.
It had been five years since the Luck Dynasty Ceremony. Due to Jiang Jian’s disappearance, the influence that Jiang Jian gathered had now disappeared and the state affairs had recovered its stability. The officials with ulterior motives could not find Jiang Jian. On the other hand, Jiang Jian’s mother seemed innocent on the surface, but she was smart deep down. She had been playing Tai Chi, gradually cutting off the thoughts of those court officials.
Jiang Xiu’s position as the crown prince was still stable. The princes were considered to be friendly with each other. If a prince was bullied outside the palace, they would work together to return the favor.
Princes would also be bullied?
They had no choice. The princes always liked to pretend to be ordinary people. They felt that this was more interesting and free. After all, the officials were all staring at them, not allowing them to lose their etiquette. It made them feel uncomfortable and extremely unfree on ordinary days.
On the other side.
In the imperial study in the palace.
Jiang Ziyu summoned Han Tianji.
The two of them stood by the sand table. Great Jing had been taking good care of itself for the past few years, but Jiang Ziyu’s ambition had always been there. He had sent a large number of scouts to collect the situation of the surrounding dynasties and draw up a simple map.
“I am fifty-one years old, and I don’t want to wait any longer. What do you think about sending troops now?”
Jiang Ziyu put his hands on his hips and looked at the sand table with ambition in his eyes.
Han Tianji said, “Right now, the luck of Great Jing has stabilized. As the country’s strength increases, luck will continue to increase and the country will also become better and better. This is a beneficial cycle. Unless the imperial family undergoes a sudden change or suffers a crushing defeat, the luck will only decline once the population is depleted too much. If Your Majesty only wants to annex the surrounding dynasties, you can attack at any time.
However, behind the Donglin Dynasty is a Luck Dynasty, the Great Wilderness Dynasty. If you get too close to them, you will easily become enemies. Even though the Great Wilderness Dynasty is not as good as the Great Qi Dynasty, they are the Luck Dynasty with the longest history on the continent. However, they suffered a huge defeat a hundred years ago. From then on, the rulers no longer fought and only wanted to enjoy themselves.”
Jiang Ziyu snorted. “After a hundred years, it’s about time for them to stop enjoying themselves.”
He was not afraid of the Great Wilderness Dynasty at all. In fact, he looked forward to contending against them.
Han Tianji revealed a smile and said, “Then let’s test the sharpness of the
Heavenly Strategy Army first.”
Jiang Ziyu smiled and said, “It’s not difficult to swallow a dynasty with 100,000 Heavenly Strategy troops, right?”
“It’s as easy as flipping a palm.”
The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
Following Jiang Ziyu, Han Tianji felt like a thousand-mile horse meeting Bole. Jiang Ziyu trusted him incomparably and was always full of fighting spirit. He originally thought that after becoming a Luck Dynasty, Jiang Ziyu would enjoy life. Just like most emperors, he would either be muddle-headed and enjoy life or ask the supernatural for help. However, Jiang Ziyu did not. He was still as ambitious as he was when he was young.
Han Tianji suddenly said, “Since ancient times, no dynasty has unified this continent. Does Your Majesty have such ambitions?”
How big was this continent? There were still more than thirty dynasties. Coupled with Great Jing, there were a total of six Luck Dynasty. It was practically impossible to unify this continent.
In the past, Han Tianji also felt that it was impossible, but now, he was looking forward to it.
Jiang Ziyu pointed in the direction of the Great Wilderness Dynasty and coldly said, “I want to be an unprecedented emperor!”
The way Han Tianji looked at Jiang Ziyu changed.
Over the years, Jiang Ziyu’s boldness had become stronger and stronger. His martial arts realm was not high, but it made him feel as if he was facing the seniors of Xiansheng Grotto-heaven.
At that moment, Han Tianji suddenly had the urge to die for his bosom friend.
Autumn arrived in October.
Every autumn was when the scenery at Longqi Mountain was the most beautiful. However, Longqi Mountain had become a restricted area and the mountain path had been sealed. Ordinary people were not allowed to step on it.
Jiang Changsheng stood in the corner of the courtyard. Yesterday, Jiang Xiu came with some materials and even ordered someone to send charcoal and build a forging table so that Jiang Changsheng would not have to worry.
Today, he would forge a weapon for Jiang Jian.
With his name and a third eye, then let’s really make him into God Erlang!
Jiang Changsheng was prepared to forge a three-pointed double-edged sword. Such a weapon had yet to appear in the world. When the time came, Jiang Jian would definitely be mighty with this divine weapon in his hand.
Jiang Jian stood behind him with a nervous and expectant expression.
Hua Jianxin, Wang Chen, and Bai Qi also came to spectate. Under their gazes, Jiang Changsheng threw a piece of deep-sea black iron into the furnace. He raised his palm and slapped it, spitting out cyan-colored spiritual fire. This scene made them cry out in surprise.
What kind of fire was that?
Jiang Changsheng had already mastered the Art of Refining, but he did not have any actual experience. However, he was not worried. It was not like he was refining a magical weapon. What Jiang Jian wanted was only weight. Compressing deep-sea black iron was not difficult for him.
While Jiang Changsheng was refining weapons, in a mansion in the capital.
Yu Yanyi from the Fuyue Family of the Chao Sects sat at a stone table. When she heard the servant’s words, she could not help but sigh. “Great Jing, this tiger, has finally revealed his fangs and is about to start a war again. In less than ten years, a war between Luck Dynasties will break out. It has been hundreds of years since such a war happened.”
The servant excitedly said, “The Heavenly Strategy Army has already taken action and happened to pass by the south city gate. I just went to take a look. All of them were wearing bright armor and riding tall horses. They are completely different from ordinary armies. The Heavenly Strategy Army looks invincible and unstoppable.”
100,000 Heavenly Strategy troops, 100,000 Spiritual Sense realm experts, led by a True God. There was no lack of Divine realm and Heavenly Arrival realm experts. This army was indeed powerful!
In Yu Yanyi’s opinion, even if an ordinary Chao Sect were to suppress them with all their might, they might not be able to win.
Tsk tsk.
How many years had it been?
Great Jing was even stronger than the Mahayana Dragon Tower.
So this was the real use of luck. The Mahayana Dragon Tower suppressed the martial arts world and absorbed luck alone, but it also wasted most of it. That was because they could not absorb much and did not allow any forces to appear.
Of course, there was another reason. The current territory of Great Jing was larger than the territory controlled by the Mahayana Dragon Tower in the past, so naturally, more experts had gathered.
Yu Yanyi suddenly saw a figure on the eaves and immediately said, “You may leave.”
The servant bowed and left. A figure landed on the eaves. It was a woman in purple.
She came to Yu Yanyi and sat down. She sighed with emotion and said, “The Heavenly Strategy Army is really powerful. I saw it too. The Emperor of Great Jing is really capable to have trained such an army. The discipline of 100,000 martial artists is extremely strict.”
Yu Yanyi asked, “You’re not here just to marvel at the Heavenly Strategy Army, are you?”
The purple-robed woman’s expression turned solemn as she said, “Something happened in the northern region of the continent. A mysterious expert appeared and forcefully snatched the dragon vein of a dynasty, causing the luck of that dynasty to deplete and plague to rise everywhere. The people were struggling to survive and the Chao Sects joined hands to chase after him. However, they were unable to take him down and allowed him to leave.” Yu Yanyi frowned and asked, “Did the upper three sects make a move?”
“The Ruins of End Mountain Manor has taken action. They have sent an old monster at the Golden Body realm, but he is still not that expert’s opponent.” Yu Yanyi remained silent.
The purple-robed woman continued, “You have to remind the Dao Ancestor of this. After all, Great Jing also has a dragon vein.”
Yu Yanyi nodded. She looked up at the direction of Longqi Temple with a complicated expression.
After so many years, she would visit Jiang Changsheng every month, but she could not get close to him. The last time she went, she did not know what to say.
After seven days of forging, a three-pointed double-edged blade that weighed ten thousand kilograms appeared. It was ten feet long and the blade occupied one-fourth of the length. It was very domineering and the spear shaft was carved with dragon patterns. It looked very beautiful.
At first glance, Jiang Jian was amazed. However, it was somewhat strenuous for him to wield a three-pointed double-edged sword, and it was precisely because of this strenuous effort that he liked it more and more.
Jiang Changsheng was satisfied as he looked at his grandson wielding a three-pointed double-edged sword. This kid really had the demeanor of God Erlang.
Hua Jianxin walked into the courtyard and came to Jiang Changsheng’s side to meditate. She said helplessly, “Ziyu is about to start another war. He’s already 51 years old, but he’s still not stopping.”
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “If he doesn’t attack others, they will attack Great Jing sooner or later. Let him go.”
Hua Jianxin sighed and said, “I’m just afraid that he will do too much. It will be difficult for Xiu’er to ascend the throne in the future.”
Jiang Xiu was already 26 years old, and he had several sons. His eldest son had been conferred the title of great-grandson by Jiang Ziyu, which was equivalent to telling the world that Jiang Xiu would be the next emperor and completely stabilizing his position as the crown prince.
However, who knew how many years Jiang Ziyu would have to wait before he could ascend the throne.
Jiang Changsheng said calmly, “That’s his business. I can’t let the current emperor put down his dreams for him.”
Hua Jianxin shook his head and said, “I’m not worried that Xiu’er won’t be able to surpass Ziyu. I’m just worried that he won’t be able to handle the huge mountain.”
The current Great Jing was so vast that ordinary people might not even be able to travel throughout the various counties of the Great Jing. No matter how vast it was, how could one govern it?
In any case, Hua Jianxin could not understand. She only knew that her eldest grandson was inferior to his father in all aspects.
Jiang Changsheng reached out and pinched her face. “Why do you care so much about them? Even if the mountains and rivers of Great Jing are shattered, I’ll just help them up.”
Hua Jianxin blushed from his intimate actions and hastily dodged. She whispered, “Jian’er is still here. Don’t be rash.”
Jiang Changsheng smiled and closed his eyes to continue cultivating.
As the Jade Bone Green Bamboo Forest grew, the spiritual energy in Longqi Mountain became increasingly dense, making him enjoy his cultivation.
However, he was still far from the eighth level of Dao Technique.
At that very moment.
[In the 30th year of the Qianwu Era, the Four Seas Sage that you marked has successfully reincarnated and was born in the land of Tianhai.]
A notification appeared before Jiang Changsheng.
The Four Seas Sage had reincarnated?
What kind of place was Tianhai?
Jiang Changsheng frowned. He carefully sensed it. The reincarnation mark of the Four Seas Sage was extremely far to the south, which meant that he had crossed the ocean.
Then, he remembered that Jiang Luo was now alone.
However, that kid was already 26 years old, so he should be able to survive independently. He should also have his own connections in the Xiansheng Grotto-heaven.
Jiang Changsheng was only slightly worried about his grandson. He had also imprinted a reincarnation mark on Jiang Luo. If Jiang Luo were to reincarnate, he would know.
Even though he could sense that Jiang Luo’s reincarnation mark was still there, he was not sure if it was a human or a soul.
Forget it, he’ll use incense points to calculate..
