Chapter 202: Heaven Worshiping Ceremony, Tiangong Yu
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Year 36 of the Shuntian Era.
Another spring had passed, and the news of the eradication of the World Destruction Tree began to spread in the ocean, causing heated discussions among the martial artists in the various oceans.
Lin Haotian, who Jiang Changsheng was paying attention to, had once again set off for Great Jing. For the time being, the blue-robed man he met did not bring anyone to chase after him.
Jiang Changsheng could have used a Golden-scaled Jade Leaf to bring Lin Haotian directly to Great Jing, but that would have been a waste of Lin Haotian’s fate. His training along the way had allowed Lin Haotian to transform, and he had gradually enjoyed taking risks.
On the other side, the Mu family was the same. After being away from the Ancient God Continent for so many years, the members of the Mu family were no longer confused. They only had infinite expectations for the future. On the way forward, the Mu family was also growing stronger.
Jiang Changsheng looked forward to the Mu family’s prosperity when they arrived at Great Jing. Similarly, the Mu family was also looking forward to Great Jing.
This year, Great Jing recuperated and expanded its luck department, bringing Great Jing’s luck to the East Continent.
The East Continent had also built many cities and martial arts academies. Through the martial arts academies, the local tribes began to enter Great Jing to train in martial arts, facilitating the integration of the East Continent and Great Jing.
Great Qi was not idle either. In the ocean area to the north of the East Continent, they had frantically occupied an island, causing the ocean map to continue to expand. Emperor Shuntian did not stop them. As long as they did not go south, he could tolerate it.
At that moment, Great Jing’s goal was to advance to become a Sovereign Dynasty!
As for the Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty, they seemed to have disappeared and never appeared in Great Jing’s sight again.
Other than cultivating, Jiang Changsheng would also spend time paying attention to the Dao World.
The World Destruction Tree took root in the Dao World. They were also now aware of the Laotuo, the Taisui, and the Luoyu. As for White Dragon, it was still in the Dragon Transformation Pond, enjoying the baptism of the spiritual water.
The reason why Jiang Changsheng paid attention to the Dao World was mainly because of the two Nagas.
These two Nagas were not simple. Their body could automatically absorb spiritual energy and transform it into demonic energy suitable for survival in the martial arts world. Its efficiency was higher than other mutant beasts.
When he saw them, Jiang Changsheng would always think of Nuwa and Fuxi from Chinese mythology. Therefore, he took the inspiration and gave them names. The female Naga was called Tai Wa, and the young Naga was called Tai Xi.
Tai Wa and Tai Xi did not have the hostility of vicious beasts nor the cruelty of demon beasts. Most of the time, their emotions did not fluctuate much. They wandered around the forest and later discovered White Dragon in the Dragon Transformation Pond. Gradually, they formed a relationship.
White Dragon soaked in the Dragon Transformation Pond every day and was also extremely bored. Therefore, it often teased Tai Wa and Tai Xi. Under its guidance, the intelligence of the two Nagas had also improved rapidly. This was something that the World Destruction Tree could not compare to. Even though the World Destruction Tree could speak human language, it remained silent most of the time.
Days passed just like that.
In the blink of an eye, another five years passed.
In the 41st year of the Shuntian Era, a sacrificial ceremony was about to begin in the capital. It would be presided over by the Prime Minister, Chen Li. After the sacrificial ceremony was successful, Great Jing would be promoted to become a Sovereign Dynasty of Luck, and the ceremony would begin in June.
The current date was the beginning of February.
The capital was extremely lively. Even though it had been expanded, it was still crowded with carriages and horses. The various dynasties on the Dragon Vein Continent had sent envoys to congratulate them, including the Qi Sovereign Dynasty and the Tianhan Dynasty. There were also people from Tianhai, the eastern ocean, and the East Continent.
This Heaven-Worshiping Ceremony would be even grander than the Luck Dynasty Ceremony dozens of years ago.
Over the years, many geniuses and influential figures had emerged in Great Jing. There was even a Universe realm expert who was nurtured by Emperor Shuntian from Destiny.
Great Jing was no longer the same as before!
The most intuitive sign was that the value of Great Jing had reached 3-7 million incense points, which had more than doubled. Even without accounting for Ye Xun, the growth of Great Jing’s strength was still quite considerable.
Great Jing was getting stronger, and so was the Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty.
The Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty’s net worth had reached 39 million incense points!
Jiang Changsheng began to look forward to the next attack from the Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty.
In the courtyard, Qing’er was reporting the situation of Longqi Temple to Jiang Changsheng.
There were more than fifty thousand disciples in Longqi Temple, and that was still under deliberate control. Excluding Yang Zhou and the Eighteen Constellations, there were more than ten True Gods. All of them were old disciples over fifty years old, but compared to the 155-year-old Jiang
Changsheng, there was a difference of several generations.
Jiang Changsheng no longer paid much attention to the Longqi Temple. In any case, Qing’er was in control.
Qinger was also a True God. With her strength, it was not difficult for her to
live to 150 years old. If she took another step forward, she could continue to
rule Longqi Temple for a while.
“Dao Ancestor, a mysterious vortex has appeared in the southern ocean, resulting in an archipelago appearing out of nowhere, attracting many sects to investigate. The Fuyue Family and the True Dragon Temple have invited
Longqi Temple to go with them. I am prepared to send Yang Zhou and Huang Chuan. What do you think?” Qing’er carefully asked.
Last year, Huang Chuan reached the Golden Body realm and his reputation shook the martial arts world. And right now, he was idle.
Jiang Changsheng said, “Then go. It’s good to let the disciples broaden their horizons.”
Qing’er was overjoyed and hastily thanked Jiang Changsheng.
After Qing’er left, Jiang Changsheng looked into the distance with a smile.
When Bai Qi saw his expression, he curiously asked, “What made you so happy?
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “It’s nothing. It’s just that someone can’t hold back anymore.”
There would be a good show to watch at this year’s Heaven-Worshiping Ceremony!
Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty, inside the palace.
Emperor Fengtian was currently playing chess with the Sword Master. However, he was feeling uneasy and his brows were furrowed.
The Sword Master asked, “Your Majesty, are you worried about Great Jing?”
Emperor Fengtian put down his chess piece and sighed. “That’s right. Even though we have been preparing for many years and our plan is tight, Great Jing has the Dao Ancestor, so I am not totally confident.”
Emperor Fengtian’s eyes were ice-cold as he said, “Senior Tiangong is indeed powerful. As expected of a peerless martial artist who survived the battlefield of the Sacred Dynasty. However, the Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty would have to pay a huge price to invite him.”
The Sword Master was silent. He was unqualified to discuss this matter. He was still thinking about Great Jing’s Sacred Martial Sword Intent.
Emperor Fengtian asked again, “How talented is the Crown Prince in the Sword Dao?”
The Sword Master replied, “Not bad, but compared to the Sword Dao, he is more suitable for other martial arts. I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince wants to create a new martial arts path. Why does Your Majesty not support it?”
Emperor Fengtian snorted and said, “His martial arts path is the path of luck. If he is careless and the luck of the heavens is destroyed by him, what will happen?”
Speaking of this, he was very angry and unhappy.
The Sword Master said, “But I have to say that his idea is pretty good. He wants to gather the luck of the Sovereign Dynasty to imprint it on himself. If his martial arts can mature, then the Dao Ancestor will definitely die. Once he gathers the luck of the Sovereign Dynasty, it is hard to imagine how unimaginable his strength will be.”
Emperor Fengtian did not say anything. Instead, he picked up another chess piece and smashed it down.
The situation of the chess game instantly changed.
June came quickly.
The number of guards in the capital had increased significantly. To be precise, the entire Si Province had entered a state of vigilance.
Today, the Heaven-Worshiping Ceremony of Great Jing was going to start.
Tens of thousands of officials were already queuing up in front of the palace gates. The streets were filled with people, and the White-robed Guards stood in the courtyard of all pavilions and mansions.
zToday, Jiang Changsheng was too lazy to cultivate. Instead, he stretched his muscles in the courtyard.
Ye Xun trembled when he saw his actions.
“Dao Ancestor, could it be that the Fengtian Sovereign Dynastyian is going to launch a sneak attack? That’s right. If Great Jing becomes a Sovereign Dynasty, Fengtian will be doomed,” Ye Xun asked excitedly.
He was extremely belligerent. While Jiang Changsheng was belligerent for the sake of survival rewards, he was purely belligerent.
Jiang Changsheng said, “They will indeed launch a sneak attack, but they will not appear. Just watch carefully. The other party is very strong. You are not their opponent.”
Ye Xun was not affected by his words. The experts who dared to come to the capital must be here for the Dao Ancestor. They were not someone he could defeat. He still knew his limits.
Last time, it was the experts of the Limitless Sea Alliance. How powerful would they be this time?
Ye Xun thought of himself back then and felt extremely emotional. He finally understood that he survived back then because he only came with the intention of having a spar. If anyone dared to attack the citizens of the capital, they would definitely die. No matter how strong they were, they would die.
At the same time.
In the north of Great Jing, there was an ownerless land in the middle of mountains that stood tall and vast.
On a mountain peak, figures stood on the edge of the cliff. Leading them was a man in a black robe with purple patterns. His left hand was behind his waist and his right hand was rubbing the thumb ring on his thumb. On closer look, there was a black armor under his robe.
Tiangong Yu, a peerless expert invited by Emperor Fengtian.
The others around him were all experts from Fengtian. The weakest among them was in the Universe Realm. There were 30 of them, and all of them were on high alert.
“Senior, it’s almost time. As this place is extremely far from the capital, should we take action in advance?” An old man respectfully asked.
Tiangong Yu’s expression was indifferent as he said, “There’s no hurry. It’s not too late to attack when Great Jing’s luck soars. Moreover, only then can we give Great Jing a fatal blow and cause this dynasty to collapse.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the thumb ring on his right hand emitted a light. Immediately after, a huge bow flew out which he grabbed with his left hand. Following it, a long spear appeared.
He held the bow in his left hand and the spear in his right. The large bow was made of some kind of wood and its surface was engraved with mysterious patterns. It was even taller than him. As for the spear, it was silver in color with a blue gem embedded in it.
Seeing this, the other martial artists revealed expectant expressions.
For the martial artists of the Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty, Tiangong Yu was a myth, the pinnacle of the Fengtian Martial Dao. Legend had it that the Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty could dominate the ocean and control two continents precisely because of the existence of an expert like Tiangong Yu.
Tiangong Yu had killed too many experts for Fengtian. After Fengtian gained a foothold, he left Fengtian to pursue his own martial arts.
500 years later, when the Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty was helpless against Great Jing, Tiangong Yu returned. Everything seemed so dreamy and legendary.
For Fengtian, Tiangong Yu was like the Dao Ancestor of Great Jing.
At that moment, Tiangong Yu was also filled with interest towards the Dao Ancestor of Great Jing.
After returning from the Sacred Dynasty, he originally wanted to return to Fengtian to retire in seclusion. He did not expect that a figure like the Dao Ancestor would be born in the nearby ocean.
“Hmph, Dao Ancestor, I’d like to see if you can withstand the upcoming punishment!”
The corners of Tiangong Yu’s mouth curled up, and his eyes were filled with a teasing feeling.
Ever since he returned from the Sacred Dynasty, he looked down on the surrounding Sovereign Dynasties. Even though he knew that Zhu Wuji, who was in the Six Grotto-heaven realm, might have died at the hands of the Dao Ancestor, he did not care..
