Chapter 145: Strange People, Floating Island

Jiang Changsheng looked at the meteorite for a long time. When he saw no movement, he retracted his gaze. He was too lazy to check it out himself. This was not the first time a meteorite had appeared in history. The thirteen states alone had encountered it more than ten times in thousands of years. The most tragic time was when a city was blown up, causing countless casualties.
On the other side.
Emperor Shuntian immediately ordered the White-robed Guards to investigate this matter.
He was worried. If he were to encounter a natural disaster as soon as he ascended the throne, would people think that God was dissatisfied with him?
Everyone believed in the existence of the heavens, and they believed that the fate of the world was predestined.
However, a few months later, he received good news.
“Your Majesty, according to the research of the people from the Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce, they discovered that that meteorite contains a large number of special iron ore and even a space stone to build a teleportation array. According to them, Great Jing is going to be rich!”
Listening to the White-robed Guards’ report, Emperor Shuntian stood up and asked, “Did Zhang Ying personally check it out?”
The White-robed Guards answered, “Yes, he is even willing to pay a sky-high price for half of the meteorite. You can name your conditions.”
Emperor Shuntian sat down and said, “Pass down my decree… No, I will personally go!”
He immediately stood up and quickly walked out of the imperial study.
“Ask the Dao Ancestor to move the meteorite?”
Bai Qi widened his eyes. He could not understand what use that boulder had.
Emperor Shuntian hastily explained and revealed the value of the meteorite.
If it could make the Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce go crazy, it must be something good.
Jiang Changsheng said, “I can move it here, but where should I put it?”
Emperor Shuntian pondered and said, “Just leave it outside the capital and don’t block the official road. Can you do it?”
Jiang Changsheng immediately disappeared.
Emperor Shuntian breathed a sigh of relief. This was his first time asking Jiang Changsheng for something, and he was very apprehensive. However, the value of that meteorite was too high, and he was really anxious.
This was especially true for the space stone. He had long heard of a special tool that could transport people hundreds of thousands of miles away. It was called a teleportation array, but it required a special stone, which was the space stone.
Space stones were treasures that could only be found and not sought after, even overseas. Once they were discovered, they would definitely be fought over by various large forces and ordinary martial artists would not be able to keep them.
However, he did not panic. There were only pleasant surprises. With the Dao Ancestor around, no one could snatch the space stone from Great Jing. Emperor Shuntian turned his head and saw Huang Tian and Hei Tian. His eyes lit up and he immediately went over.
After the time for an incense stick to burn.
The capital was in an uproar. Countless martial artists leaped onto the eaves and looked into the distance excitedly.
At the end of the horizon, a boulder the size of a mountain was flying towards the capital. Someone revealed the news and learned that the Dao Ancestor was moving a meteorite.
Jiang Changsheng held the meteorite with one hand and advanced rapidly. The diameter of this meteorite was at least 3,000 feet. It was indeed heavy and immeasurable, but it was not a problem for the Great Yan Mountain Movement Technique.
Emperor Shuntian flew into the air and saw this scene.
He had long heard about the Dao Ancestor’s feat of moving a mountain, but he was still shocked when he saw it today.
Was this the Jiang Family’s Ancestor…
Emperor Shuntian was overwhelmed with emotions and was filled with admiration for Jiang Changsheng. This was the first time he admired someone so much.
His admiration for Jing Taizong was his achievements, while his admiration for Jiang Changsheng was purely his admiration for him as a person!
Under his gaze, Jiang Changsheng released the meteorite outside the city, causing the earth to tremble and dust to fly.
In a mansion, Zhang Ying and the group of disciples from the Amazing Fate Merchant Guild were dumbstruck when they witnessed this scene.
Zhang Ying lamented, “What an extraordinary person.”
That meteorite was huge, and coupled with the existence of special minerals, its weight was unimaginable.
Fortunately, he had already hooked up with the Dao Ancestor. In the face of such a huge treasure, he did not have any ill intentions.
There was no need!
In any case, Great Jing’s business was contracted out by the Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce. At present, there was no second overseas chamber of commerce that had entered Great Jing.
As the meteorite landed steadily, Jiang Changsheng returned to the courtyard.
After Emperor Shuntian thanked him, he hastily left. A large number of White-robed Guards had already rushed out of the city to seal off the meteorite.
Bai Qi curiously asked, “How big of a mountain can you move now?”
Jiang Changsheng glanced at it and said, “I’m not sure.”
Bai Qi looked at the Sword God and asked, “Which is the largest mountain on the continent?”
The Sword God pondered and said, “It should be the Chasing God Mountain of Great Qi. The highest peak is 60,000 feet tall.”
Chasing God Mountain..
Jiang Changsheng made a mental note. If he was interested in the future, he could go to Great Qi and move the Chasing God Mountain away.
However, according to the Sword God, the Chasing God Mountain should not be a single mountain peak, but a mountain range. He probably could not move it for the time being.
Due to the removal of the meteorite, the capital was extremely lively. Many people were curious about what was hidden in the meteorite, and the spies of the various dynasties and sects lurking in the capital quickly sent back the news.
Within a mansion in the imperial city of the Donghai Dynasty.
The Thousand South Ocean Sect’s Sect Master, Tian Renfeng, and Sect Master Tang were drinking tea. When they heard the report from their subordinates, their expressions became complicated.
After his subordinates left, Sect Master Tang sighed and said, “Great Jing’s luck is indeed prosperous and blessed by the heavens. Perhaps it’s the result of the fusion of the luck of the Human King and the Emperor of Great Jing. Since ancient times, there has never been a Human King who had combined with the luck of the emperor of a Luck Dynasty. After all, the wind of the Luck Dynasty has only been born in this land for thousands of years, and it was even from the hands of the Chao Sect. It’s not easy, and the Human King is an ancient inheritance that has existed since ancient times.”
Tian Renfeng was silent.
Sect Master Tang added, “From the looks of it, the luck of the dynasty is in line with the general trend. The continent behind Tianhai has been unified by a dynasty. Perhaps we should change our minds.”
Tian Renfeng asked, “How can I change it? Should we learn from the Fuyue Family and directly serve Great Jing?”
Her tone was slightly mocking.
After so many years, the opportunity to avenge her brother had yet to come, making her very anxious.
Sect Master Tang shook his head and said, “Of course not. If that’s the case, what’s the difference between that and being annexed? Forget it, I’m just casually saying. Let’s continue. One of the seniors I want to invite is currently in seclusion. Once he breaks through to the Second Grotto-heaven realm, things will change. You’ve been out in the ocean for hundreds of years, so you should know that there are no eternal alliances. Everything is related to interests…”
Tian Renfeng interrupted him and said, “What does he want?”
Sect Master Tang said helplessly, “Other than the agreed upon Dragon Vein Continent, he wants women. The martial arts technique he cultivates requires him to absorb the vitality of young women. He is respected in his territory, so it is not appropriate for him to lay his hands on his disciples. Therefore, he has his eyes on the women in the Dragon Vein Continent. He wants many, many…”
A cold glint flashed past Tian Renfeng’s eyes under the mask.
Sect Master Tang did not say anything else and picked up his teacup.
Tian Renfeng said, “I heard that there are many foreign sects that are in contact with Great Qi and Tanhan. There are even other sects that are prepared to support ordinary dynasties to advance to become Luck Dynasties. Why don’t we join hands with them?”
Sect Master Tang said, “I’ve asked around. They feel that the weather is too cold and that Great Qi is too far away from Great Jing. With the speed of development of Great Jing, they are not a threat for the time being. Therefore, all of them rejected me. I can tell that they don’t want to split the continent with us and are full of confidence…
After the Hongxuan Dynasty perished, there were only four Luck Dynasties left in the world: Great Jing, Great Qi, Tianhan, and Donghai. Among them, Donghai was the closest. As for the other two Luck Dynasties, they could not wait for them to fight against Great Jing.
Tian Renfeng took a deep breath and her eyes flickered with killing intent.
“Then please invite that senior you mentioned. Great Jing must be eliminated!”
Sect Master Tang looked at her meaningfully and slowly nodded.
At the end of the year.
The meteorite outside the capital had been surrounded by a large number of imperial guards. Tall buildings had even been built at the edge. Countless miners were mining the huge meteorite, attracting the attention of many martial artists and citizens.
Emperor Yang Zhao and several True Gods each occupied one side to prevent anyone from stealing it.
In fact, there were indeed thieves. Even with True Gods in charge, there would be thieves every few days. There were also spies from martial arts sects and dynasties, as well as commoners who attempted to turn their fate around. There were miners who wanted to steal.
A random piece from the meteorite was said to be worth thousands of gold coins.
The Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce had also sent a large number of disciples to be responsible for trading with Chen Li. Emperor Shuntian completely handed this matter over to Chen Li, but Chen Li refused to give in. The two of them argued about the price almost every day. Every time, they would part ways with flushed faces and laugh when they returned home.
In order to please Great Jing, Zhang Ying instructed his disciple to return to Tianhai. It was expected that a large number of merchant ships would arrive in the second half of next year, carrying gifts to be given to Great Jing by the Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce. According to Zhang Ying, the value of this batch of goods was enough to promote a small dynasty to a Luck Dynasty.
These were all epitomes of the growth of Great Jing. After the fall of Renzong, Great Jing had expanded to 99 states. Emperor Shuntian conferred titles to his royal uncles and divided the land.
Even though the emperor was young, the empire was huge. Even so, Great Jing was not in chaos, and the surrounding dynasties did not dare to attack it.
Over the years, there had been more and more True Gods in Great Jing. The top scholar of the martial arts examination last year was a True God.
Longqi Mountain, in the courtyard.
Jiang Changsheng was currently teaching Huang Tian and Hei Tian martial arts. He used his spiritual energy to drive the demonic power in their bodies over and over again to let them develop a habit.
Even though these two little guys could not communicate with others, they were indeed smart.
At that moment, Emperor Shuntian walked over with quick steps from outside the courtyard. Eight White-robed Guards stood guard in front of the bridge, not daring to enter the Longqi Mountain on their own accord.
After not seeing him for half a year, Emperor Shuntian had grown taller again. Perhaps it was related to the Human King’s impartation of his strength.
He quickly walked to Jiang Changsheng and said, “Dao Ancestor, I met with an envoy from a large sect in Tianhai yesterday. They are willing to establish a branch sect in Great Jing and teach the people of Great Jing to practice martial arts. If the imperial family has any outstanding princes and princesses, they can send them to Tianhai to become their real disciples.”
Jiang Changsheng pressed the two cats’ heads and said, “Isn’t that normal? Many princes are also related to the many Chao Sects.”
All the Chao Sects in the Dragon Vein Continent had descendants of the Great
Jing’s imperial family. This was also the reason why the Chao Sects did not stop Great Jing, as those princes who came back from practicing martial arts were eventually conferred the title of king and guarded a region. They did not have the intention to rebel.
Emperor Shuntian said worriedly, “Great Jing knows nothing about them, so we have no choice but to be on guard. I asked Zhang Ying about it. This sect is called the Floating Island, and it is said that there are old monsters in the
Grotto-heaven realm there…”
Jiang Changsheng said calmly, “It’s up to you. If you’re willing to accept it, accept it. If not, reject it. If a martial artist who has surpassed the Golden Body realm dares to cause trouble in Great Jing, I will take action..”
