“Is that so?”
Ye Xun snorted with a doubtful expression. It was obvious that he could not stand Little Penglai Island.
Daoist He Hong said, “Little Penglai Island believes in nature and that everything is fated. When the world asks us for help, what we can do is to take advantage of the situation and guide them towards a better direction. However, their lives are destined, just like how no matter what they eat, it is to survive.”
“But people always dream of changing their fate. We who seek the Dao are not gods. How can we do that?”
His tone was filled with helplessness. Even though Ye Xun still questioned him, he did not mock him anymore.
Jiang Changsheng asked, “May I know why Little Penglai Island is looking for
Daoist He Hong smiled and said, “Our Island Master wishes to invite you as a guest. We will not mistreat you on this trip.”
Jiang Changsheng said, “I’m sorry, but I don’t want to go down the mountain. I’m afraid that the journey will be tiring, and I don’t like crowds. Just look at my courtyard.”
Bai Qi said, “Old Daoist, don’t tell me you were sent by Fengtian to send Master away?”
Daoist He Hong hastily said, “Of course not. It’s just that our Island Master’s lifespan is coming to an end and he wants to meet the cultivator that is closest to an immortal in the world before he dies of old age.”
Jiang Changsheng shook his head and said, “There are always regrets in life, right?”
Daoist He Hong choked.
Ye Xun said impatiently, “What kind of person is the Dao Ancestor? How can you invite him just because you want to? If the Dao Ancestor doesn’t want to go, I can make a trip on his behalf. However, it’s easier to invite a god than to send him away. I’m not that perfunctory.”
Towards the end, he revealed a playful smile.
Daoist He Hong sighed and looked at Jiang Changsheng again. “Ancient martial artists relied on the power of heaven and earth to establish their luck. Right now, luck in the world is only borne by dynasties. Little Penglai Island feels that this should not be the case. We wish to create a sect of luck. I wonder if the Dao Ancestor has any thoughts about this?”
Luck Sect!
That was quite an idea.
Jiang Changsheng pondered silently.
The Chao Sects of the Dragon Vein Continent only used luck to temper their martial arts, not to condense luck and integrate it into one.
Little Penglai Island’s idea was pretty good. If it succeeded, it would certainly leave an indelible mark in the world of martial arts.
However, Jiang Changsheng was not interested!
There was no need for him to make Longqi Temple into a Luck Sect. It was enough for Longqi Temple to follow Great Jing. Why did they have to start afresh?
Jiang Changsheng asked in his heart.
“How powerful is Little Penglai Island?”
[Requires 300,010 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]
300,000 incense points was not considered weak.
Jiang Changsheng said, “I don’t have such thoughts. Right now, I am not the Daoist Master of Longqi Temple. I only want to cultivate in peace. If there’s nothing else, fellow Daoist, please leave the mountain.”
Daoist He Hong was stunned. He wanted to say something else, but he could only sigh when he felt the unfriendly gazes around him. He cupped his hands and bowed before he turned to leave.
After he left, Ye Xun said in disdain, “Cunning wolf. Dream on.”
Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes and continued to train.
Bai Qi and the Sword God asked Ye Xun about the origin and deeds of Little Penglai Island.
In an inn in the capital, Daoist He Hong walked into the guest room. He closed the door and walked to the table to sit down. He said to the figure sitting on the bed, “Senior Brother, that Dao Ancestor is indeed extraordinary. He is unfathomable and abnormally young. His ability to retain his youthful appearance is very impressive. There are even demon beasts raised in the courtyard. Perhaps he is really the reincarnation of an immortal. Even though we cultivate, we are still martial artists and are far inferior to him.’
The person who sat on the bed was also a Daoist. He wore the same clothes as Daoist He Hong, but he was fat and looked even older.
Daoist He Yuan opened his eyes and said, “The matter of becoming a Luck Sect can’t move him?”
Daoist He Hong nodded and said helplessly, “Perhaps he is afraid that Great Jing will be attacked once he leaves.”
“Then let’s wait for the war to end.
“Fengtian is so far away. I’m afraid this war will last for dozens of years or even longer. Do we really have to wait?”
“Yes, this is what Eldest Senior Brother told me. No matter what, we must invite the Dao Ancestor to Little Penglai Island. The Dao Ancestor’s strength is no longer in the martial path. Perhaps he can unlock the ancient secret of Little Penglai Island.”
“Alright, shall I continue to be on good terms with Longqi Temple?”
“Yes, when you visit Longqi Temple in the future, you can teach those disciples our martial arts techniques and Dao techniques.”
Daoist He Hong nodded and said no more. He poured himself a cup of tea and began to fall into a trance, his eyes revealing sadness.
In June, Great Jing and the navy of Great Qi met in the eastern ocean. Both sides advanced side by side and rushed to the continent occupied by Fengtian.
As the mighty fleet moved forward, True Gods and Golden Body realm experts continuously rushed over from the rear, ready to participate in the war. This was the case for Great Jing and Great Qi.
Jiang Jian stood on the deck and turned his head to look. On a ship in the distance stood a woman in a purple dress with a veil.
“What realm is she in? How can there be such an unfathomable person in Great
Jiang Jian thought doubtfully. Even though Great Qi had become a Luck Dynasty a long time ago, as far as he knew, there should not be a Universe realm expert in Great Qi.
At that moment, Song Li walked to his side and said in a soft voice, “She is from the Wei Family. The Wei Family lives on an island north of the Dragon Vein Continent. I have dealt with them before. She should be the daughter of the Wei Family’s head. No one knows her real name, so they call her Miss Wei. She is a genuine Universe realm expert and one of the top experts in the Wei
Family.”
Jiang Jian narrowed his eyes and said, “The Universe realm? It seems like Great
Qi cannot be underestimated.”
Song Li lamented, “There’s more than one Universe realm expert in the Wei Family, and they also have a grudge against Fengtian. There was once a proud daughter of heaven in the Wei Family who was acknowledged as Emperor Fengtian’s concubine. However, she somehow died in the palace, and the Emperor did not give the Wei Family an explanation, so a grudge was formed between the two sides.”
Jiang Jian asked in surprise, “Since they are enemies, can Fengtian tolerate them? It seems like the Wei Family is very powerful.”
Song Li shook his head and said, “They are indeed strong, but the main reason is that Emperor Fengtian felt guilty and did not give the order to kill them. Moreover, if we were to destroy the Wei Family, it would not be good if word got out. Emperor Fengtian cares about his reputation the most.”
At that moment, a strong gust of wind swept over from the front, startling them so much that they turned around.
The sky at the end of the sea turned dark. Repressed thunderclouds swept over, and the waves surged, becoming more and more ferocious.
Jiang Jian leaped up and a divine weapon flew out from the bottom of the sea and landed in his hand. It was a three-pointed double-edged sword.
Figures flew out from various ships. In an instant, more than five hundred figures flew into the air, all of them looking into the distance vigilantly.
“Hahahaha! Ants from the Dragon Vein Continent, how dare you take the initiative to attack us? Today, I will let you witness the power of luck of a Sovereign Dynasty!”
An arrogant and cold laughter resounded above the ocean, making those who heard it tremble in fear.
Boom—
A huge bolt of lightning struck down from the thundercloud, illuminating the end of the sea.
Hundreds of miles away, huge ships were connected together by iron chains. Many martial artists stood on the deck and circulated their true qi to mobilize their luck. Strands of white gas visible to the naked eye dissipated from their bodies and converged upwards to form a huge five-clawed true dragon. Its body was ten thousand feet long and churned in the thunderclouds. Lightning could not dissipate it, instead it made its physique stronger.
On a ship in the center, a burly man in black armor looked into the distance. The seawater and rainwater hit his iron armor like ice breaking. His expression was extremely solemn.
He was the one who laughed out loud. He seemed arrogant, but he was actually extremely nervous.
He was not afraid of Great Jing and Great Qi, but of the Dao Ancestor!
Even though the people in the court said that the Dao Ancestor had paid a heavy price to resurrect millions of people, that was only a guess. What if it was wrong?
However, under the Emperor’s orders, he had no choice but to brace himself and lead the army.
He looked up at the True Dragon of Luck that was churning in the sea of clouds and felt slightly relieved.
“What’s there to be afraid of when the luck of heaven has assisted us?” The black-armored man thought to himself as he cheered himself on.
A huge battle was about to begin!
Jiang Changsheng, who was training in the courtyard, seemed to have sensed something and opened his eyes.
He immediately used the Limitless Eyes of Heaven and Earth and looked to the east. The mountains and rivers shrunk, and his vision advanced rapidly. He crossed the continent and the ocean and quickly saw a sea that was like a storm. Thousands of martial artists besieged a dragon wreaking havoc in the sky.
The dragon was as large as a Luoyu. If one were to look closely, they would notice that it did not look like a living creature. Instead, it was condensed from some kind of aura.
The Dragon of Luck!
Jiang Changsheng was surprised. This dragon was much stronger than the
True Dragon of Luck condensed by Emperor Shuntian. It completely suppressed Great Jing and Great Qi, preventing the two armies from advancing. The battlefield in the ocean was as dark as night, even though it was still daytime.
The Dragon of Luck condensed a huge amount of luck, creating astronomical phenomenons. Even Jiang Changsheng, who was far away in the Dragon Vein Continent, could sense it. He continued to look forward and discovered that it was created by the luck of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Hundreds of thousands of troops could condense such a powerful Dragon of Luck!
Jiang Changsheng realized that he had underestimated the Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty.
First, it was the Poison King who poisoned them, and then it was the Dragon of Luck. How could ordinary dynasties have such methods?
Jiang Changsheng saw four more branches of the Fengtian navy approaching the navy of Great Jing and Great Qi. One of them had even circled around behind them. Their sailing speed far exceeded Great Jing and Great Qi. At this rate, they would definitely cut off the logistics troops of Great Jing and Great Qi before surrounding and killing them until the navy of Great Jing and Great Qi were completely wiped out.
His Limitless Eyes of Heaven and Earth could see them, but the scouts from Great Jing and Great Qi could not. The Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty maintained a long distance, but they could sail faster.
There were two Universe realm experts in Great Qi and only one in Great Jing. That was Divine Monk Jia Ye of the True Dragon Temple.
Not enough!
The aura of this Dragon of Luck had already reached the Grotto-heaven realm. Even though it did not know any powerful martial arts, just its huge physique and strength were enough to cause the destruction of both armies.
Jiang Changsheng thought for a moment and decided to send Ye Xun and the Sword God. If he were to attack directly, he was afraid that he would scare
Fengtian out of his wits and cause him to retreat or seek refuge with other Sovereign Dynasties. So, why don’t he send Ye Xun and the Sword God to pull them away and force stronger experts to attack?
He immediately instructed Ye Xun and the Sword God. When they heard the order, they immediately stood up.
“Sword God, let’s see who’s faster!”
After Ye Xun said that, he flew towards the east and quickly jumped out of the fog that covered Longqi Mountain. The Sword God cursed in his heart. After bowing to Jiang Changsheng, he immediately chased after him..
