Chapter 152: Extraordinary Luck, Known Overseas

Within the palace, dozens of Saint Mansion Elders turned pale with fright.
“It’s that golden light again… Is it here to save that kid again?”
“My disciples have checked, but there are no powerful martial artists who have snuck into the demon beasts’ territory.”
“Either the other party’s martial arts realm is exceptionally high, or they have used some long-range martial arts technique.”
“That’s impossible. What long-range martial arts technique can descend without any warning? Furthermore, we can’t even capture where it came from.”
“Who is that kid named Lin Haotian? Those two demon kings are obviously targeting him. ”
The elders discussed among themselves with solemn expressions.
Lin Haotian’s backing made them tremble in fear. He had easily killed two demon kings in the Universe realm in front of everyone. What realm was he in?
On the other side.
On the Earth Spirit Tree, Jiang Changsheng put down the Sun Shooting Divine Bow, but his eyes were still fixed on Mu Lingluo.
He was very satisfied with Mu Lingluo’s reaction.
Bai Qi and the Sword God were no longer surprised. They were still busy practicing and comprehending the sword.
It was not until Mu Lingluo met up with Nangong Di and the other two that
Jiang Changsheng retracted his gaze. He landed under the Earth Spirit Tree and began to meditate.
He wondered if there was a survival reward for saving Mu Lingluo.
This calamity was not his calamity, but Mu Lingluo was his wife from his previous life and he was paying attention to her. There was karma between the two of them, so it was not impossible.
After a while.
[In the 4th year of the Shuntian Era, Mu Lingluo was attacked by two demon kings. Fortunately, you took action in time and successfully killed the two demon kings. You have cut off this karma and obtained a survival reward— Magical Treasure, Golden-scaled Jade Leaf.]
Sure enough, there was one!
If Mu Lingluo was severely injured or even dead, he could not ignore it. This was karma.
He had also saved Lin Haotian, but there was no reward. This was because there was no karma between them. Even if Lin Haotian died, he would be indifferent and would not take action for him, which would not lead to a calamity.
Karma had to be built on the people he cared about.
Of course, he believed that even if he did not take action, Mu Lingluo would not have died here. However, his actions would save Mu Lingluo some pain and suffering.
Jiang Changsheng smiled.
This was a good thing. Not only could he help Mu Lingluo in the future, but he could also obtain survival rewards at the same time. This was killing two birds with one stone.
However, two Universe realm demon kings only exchanged for a single Golden-scaled Jade Leaf. It seemed like the survival reward would decrease if he were to help others.
Jiang Changsheng thought silently, as the Dao Technique had begun to circulate.
Late at night, Mu Lingluo entered her dream again and met Jiang Changsheng. “Brother Changsheng, was that you today?” Mu Lingluo suppressed her excitement and asked.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Of course. Who else did you think it was?”
Mu Lingluo became even more excited and said, “Everyone thought that the person behind Lin Haotian was taking care of him. After all, that golden light had saved Lin Haotian twice.”
Jiang Changsheng shrugged his shoulders and said, “The distance is too far, and I can’t gamble with your life. Therefore, I tried it in advance.
Coincidentally, I saw someone being chased by a demon beast, so I tried it on him. Fortunately, I succeeded. So that kid is Lin Haotian? He’s lucky.”
He sighed internally.
When he heard of Lin Haotian’s achievements, he already felt that something was amiss. This kid was too similar to the protagonist of a novel. He survived a calamity and broke through before the battle. He did not expect that he would be saved by him.
Was this a coincidence, or was it good luck?
Mu Lingluo hugged Jiang Changsheng’s arm and said, “Brother Changsheng, you’re amazing. I knew it was you. Everyone else thought that you were protecting Lin Haotian, but I didn’t say anything. After all, this is our secret.”
This matter was not as simple as saving her. It also made her aware that Jiang Changsheng did exist and had been paying attention to her.
How strong was Brother Changsheng?
He could actually cross the restricted area of the Saint Mansion and save her from the opposite end of the world..
She looked at Jiang Changsheng with admiration, which made him feel comfortable.
“In the future, don’t tell anyone about my existence. If you encounter a situation that you think is dangerous, tell me in your dream at any time. Don’t be afraid of troubling me. It something happens to you and you have no choice but to look for me, don’t be afraid to tell me.
Mu Lingluo nodded when she heard that.
She blinked and said, “It’s rare for me to encounter big trouble, so you don’t have to worry too much.”
Jiang Changsheng nodded. Worry was one thing, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to earn more survival rewards.
The two of them chatted for a while before they left the dream.
In the following days, Nangong Di and the two female disciples noticed some changes in Mu Lingluo, but they could not pinpoint the exact changes.
The Saint Mansion Tournament was still ongoing, and Mu Lingluo had shown great fighting spirit.
With the Nine Gods Battle Technique and her own talent, her performance was extremely outstanding and had attracted the attention of many elders.
The Saint Mansion Tournament did not only look at the realm of the prey, but also the difference between the realms of the prey and the disciples. Only in this way could talent be reflected. Therefore, the test criteria for different realms were different.
The news that the Si Province was about to give birth to a third holy land for martial arts spread throughout the 99 states. Under the Emperor’s announcement, everyone knew that Great Jing had another Universe realm expert and that he would establish a sect in the Si Province to promote martial arts.
This matter naturally spread to the other dynasties, causing panic.
Other than the Luck Dynasties, the other dynasties did not have a Golden Body realm expert. Now that Great Jing had another Universe realm expert that was even stronger than a Golden Body realm expert, how could the other dynasties not be afraid?
Right now, Great Jing was the most powerful dynasty on the continent, and it was even more ostentatious than Great Qi. This was because Great Jing had annexed two Luck Dynasties. Its achievements were unparalleled on the continent. The nearby dynasties even called Great Jing ‘Brutal Jing’ , which deeply won the hearts of people. After all, Great Jing’s prosperity was based on the tributes of each of these weak dynasties.
Everyone in the world cursed Great Jing, but the standard of living and morale of the people of Great Jing were constantly rising. The newly integrated Hongxuan Dynasty had also gradually surrendered. As long as Great Jing could let them eat their fill, they would not dare to complain. If there was still hope, they would naturally surrender.
The end of the year.
The construction of the True Dragon Temple had been completed, and the largest temple in the Si Province had appeared. On behalf of the Emperor, Longqi Temple and the Fuyue Family released a statement to the martial arts world to congratulate the establishment of the True Dragon Temple.
Regarding this matter, Jiang Changsheng handed over full authority to Qing’er and did not interfere.
On the other side, the Saint Mansion Tournament had ended, and Mu Lingluo had stopped at the second round of the test. She had already obtained abundant rewards, and her reputation had also spread throughout the Saint Mansion.
Other than her, there was another True God in the top hundred, and that was Lin Haotian.
Lin Haotian actually possessed a special physique, which was also the reason why the two demon kings had chased after him previously. As for the specifics of that physique, Mu Lingluo did not know. She only knew that Lin Haotian’s whereabouts had been sealed and that he was currently cultivating in seclusion with the elders personally guarding him.
Mu Lingluo was not jealous of Lin Haotian. She was still confident that she would work hard towards the Golden Body realm in the coming days.
In the blink of an eye.
The fifth year of the Shuntian Era had arrived.
On the day of the new spring, Jiang Changsheng was cultivating in the courtyard when Emperor Shuntian came to visit. He also brought good wine and delicacies.
After a round of toasts, Emperor Shuntian used the influence of alcohol to beg Jiang Changsheng. “Dao Ancestor, as you are omnipotent, can you give me some beans that can transform into soldiers? The port of the Yu State has been completed. I am also prepared to send an exploration team to understand the situation in the ocean. This is also the first time Great Jing has set foot into the ocean. Even though we have the company of the Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce, there are always risks..
This was definitely the first historical step. Great Jing would officially step into the ocean.
Jiang Changsheng raised his hand and beckoned. One by one, brocade bags flew out from the window and landed in front of Emperor Shuntian. As they were separated by brocade bags, it did not matter if they touched the ground.
When Emperor Shuntian saw this, he immediately sobered up and hastily called for the White-robed Guards outside the courtyard to come in and put them away.
After so many years, Jiang Changsheng’s strength had been increasing, and so had the power of the Scattering Beans into Soldiers Technique. Every spiritual energy bean had the strength of a Heavenly Arrival realm expert, but they could not maintain their fighting strength for a long time. At most, they would dissipate in an hour.
Emperor Shuntian was overjoyed and hastily thanked Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng rubbed his head and smiled without saying anything.
Emperor Shuntian was secretly delighted. He felt that his relationship with the old ancestor was getting closer.
As expected, favors could only be deepened by opening one’s mouth more. Of course, they also had to go back and forth.
Emperor Shuntian decided to send someone to deliver a large number of treasures tomorrow. He could not mistreat the Dao Ancestor and Longqi Temple.
That night was as lively as the previous spring nights.
On the island, Resting Heart Inn.
Xiao Buku wiped another table as he listened to the guests’ casual conversation.
“Have you heard? The Evil Lord that the Floating Island is chasing is absorbing people’s power everywhere, but the Floating Island can’t catch him.”
“Is the Evil Lord’s divine technique really as the rumors say? It’s impossible for there to be no restrictions, right?”
“God knows. We’ve never trained in it before. Compared to this, I’m more interested in the Dragon Vein Continent. I heard that the Thousand South Ocean Sect and the Luo Sect suffered heavy losses on the Dragon Vein
Continent. Even the two sect masters are dead.”
“I’ve also heard of that. I heard that they died because of the Great Jing Dynasty of the Dragon Vein Continent. I even heard that five experts who surpassed the Universe realm challenged the Dao Ancestor and all of them died.”
“Is that true?”
“Of course it’s true. Do you know the Red Moon Ancestor? He successfully broke through in seclusion a few years ago. At that time, he might have already been the number one expert in Tianhai, but he went to Great Jing and never returned.”
Hearing these words, Xiao Buku frowned with a complicated expression.
Surpassed the Universe realm?
He was already shocked when he heard of the Universe realm. He did not expect that even an existence that surpassed the Universe realm was not the Dao Ancestor’s opponent.
He felt endless fear. The Dao Ancestor’s growth was too fast.
Perhaps it was not that the speed of his growth was fast, but the Dao Ancestor was very likely to be powerful to begin with. The identity of the Dao Ancestor he knew might be fake, so the Mahayana Dragon Tower’s defeat was not in vain.
The more Xiao Buku thought about it, the more helpless he felt. He had already given up on revenge. The most important thing now was to escape from this devil’s den-like inn.
He noticed that the recent martial artists seemed to be very strong. Just like today, he had heard of an existence that surpassed the Universe realm. He had been in Tianhai for so many years, but he had never heard of it.
What did they want to do?
Just as Xiao Buku was puzzled, a figure stepped into the inn.
It was a man wearing a golden silk brocade robe. He had an extraordinary aura and a dignified appearance. He also wore a golden crown on his head. After entering the inn, he found an empty table and sat down.
The waiter immediately came up and asked with a charming smile, “Customer, what would you like to eat?”
The brocade-robed man was expressionless as he questioned, “This area is the closest group of islands to the Dragon Vein Continent.. I would like to ask, have any disciples from Xiansheng Grotto-heaven been here?”
