“If you have nothing to worry about, then come with me. What do you say?” Jiang Changsheng’s voice sounded again. The little swallow immediately agreed and allowed a gust of wind to sweep it away.
He did not bring the little swallow directly back to Longqi Mountain. Instead, he brought it to a forest on the Dragon Vein Continent.
He released the little swallow.
When the little swallow demon saw that what was in front of it was a Daoist, it was stunned. It carefully asked, “Lord Xuan Bird?”
Jiang Changsheng said, “Yes, I will bring you into the world to cultivate in a Daoist temple. However, you have to hide my true identity. From now on, you are a swallow demon I saved when I passed by.”
Hearing this, the little swallow started to have doubts.
This person was not lying to him, right?
Jiang Changsheng leaped up and executed the Nine Heavens Mysterious Change Technique and the Heavenly Elephant Dharma in the sky, turning into a ten thousand feet tall Xuan Bird. Ten thousand feet was only its height. When it spread its wings, it could be said that it could cover the sky. However, he had checked before and there was no trace of anyone within a radius of hundreds of miles.
The little swallow demon stared at the Xuan Bird’s majestic figure with its beak agape. Even though it worshipped the Xuan Bird, it had never seen it with its own eyes. This scene in front of it was more shocking than the rumors.
Jiang Changsheng quickly transformed back into his human form and landed in front of the little swallow.
The little swallow hastily said, “Lord Xuan Bird, it’s all my fault for being blind… ”
It was afraid that its hesitation would offend Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Remember what I said just now. Don’t reveal my true identity to others.”
The little swallow demon nodded desperately. It was extremely excited.
Jiang Changsheng waved his sleeve again and left with it.
Soon, they entered Longqi Mountain. Jiang Changsheng placed it on his shoulder and walked back to the courtyard.
The little swallow was still a demon beast. Even though its demonic power was weak, its demonic aura did exist, and it soon attracted everyone’s attention.
Bai Qi asked, “Master, what is its origin?”
Ji Wujun was also carefully looking at the little swallow.
Jiang Changsheng said, “I went out for a walk and met it by chance. I felt fated with it, so I accepted it.”
Everyone could tell that the little swallow was weak and did not look like an extraordinary beast, so they did not think much about it.
So what if its talent was poor? Even Bai Qi could stay in the courtyard.
Jiang Changsheng sat down and gestured for the little swallow to introduce itself to them.
The little swallow demon was very nervous and carefully introduced itself. Its shyness made everyone have a favorable impression of it.
Just like that, the little swallow demon moved into the courtyard. It even built a nest on the Earth Spirit Tree.
It had also heard everyone calling Jiang Changsheng the Dao Ancestor, but it did not care because it had never heard of him. It seemed like these humans and demons did not know that their ancestor was Lord Xuan Bird. Thinking of this, it felt more confident.
At the very least, it was closer to Lord Xuan Bird.
The addition of the little swallow added liveliness to the courtyard. It was mainly because Huang Tian and Hei Tian were very interested in it that the courtyard had become very noisy.
Ji Wujun had carefully observed the little swallow demon and indeed, she did not see anything special about it. Therefore, she did not pay any more attention to it. Perhaps the Dao Ancestor was really kind-hearted.
63rd year of the Shuntian Era, New Spring Festival.
Emperor Shuntian, who had just attained the Grotto-heaven tealm, had arrived. However, he did not bring Jiang Che with him. Instead, he came alone with many fine wine and delicacies.
“And this is?”
Emperor Shuntian noticed Ji Wujun and asked curiously.
Even though Ji Wujun had changed into a light Daoist robe, it was hard to hide her aura, especially for Emperor Shuntian who had just broken through to the One Grotto-heaven realm.
Ji Wujun remained silent.
Bai Qi smiled and said, “It’s not good for you to inquire about Master’s new prodigy.”
Emperor Shuntian was accustomed to her tone, but he was not angry. Instead, he said with a smile, “I just wanted to ask out of courtesy. Young lady, if you need anything in the capital in the future, feel free to let me know.”
Me!
The Great Jing Emperor!
Ji Wujun nodded and glanced at Jiang Changsheng.
For some reason, she felt that Emperor Shuntian and Jiang Changsheng looked a little alike.
Soon after, everyone began to drink and chat. Most of the time, it was Emperor Shuntian, Jiang Jian, Bai Qi, and Ye Xun chatting. Later on, Yang Zhou rushed over from Martial Peak to add a new bowl of wine.
After Emperor Shuntian broke through, he decided to start another war to expand the territory and strengthen the luck of the land.
Jiang Jian hastily said, “Ping’an and I will not lead the army. We are preparing to break through to the Universe realm.”
Emperor Shuntian smiled and said, “It’s alright. Great Jing has many soldiers and generals now. Uncle, train well, and you will be able to contribute more to Great Jing in the future.”
Ye Xun teased, “When are you going to ask the Sword God to come back? He must be bored from waiting.”
Emperor Shuntian pondered for a moment and said, “In a few years, I will prepare to integrate the Grotto-heaven realm experts of the Floating Island and Tianhai. Only by using them can they truly integrate into the Great Jing.”
The current Great Jing was not only limited to a few Grotto-heaven realm experts!
The martial artists of the Floating Island began to integrate into Great Jing’s luck one after another. Coupled with Tianhai, Great Jing’s luck increased several times.
Jiang Changsheng did not interrupt. He was concentrating on tasting the wine. He even specially took a cup for the little swallow to drink. The little swallow drank a few mouthfuls and fell into his arms.
These fine wines were all from Tianhai. They were extremely old and contained spiritual energy. Ordinary people would be drunk for a few days after taking a sip.
Even though the alcohol was strong, it could increase one’s strength and was definitely considered top-grade.
Emperor Shuntian smiled and asked, “The new martial arts convention of Great Jing is about to begin and the champion of Great Jing will be decided. Due to the addition of Tianhai and Floating Island, Ye Xun has to participate and dampen their spirits.” Ye Xun snorted and said, “Alright, but you have to give me a majestic name.”
“Hahaha, of course.
The two of them clinked glasses.
It had to be said that Emperor Shuntian’s arrival made the festive atmosphere in the courtyard very lively and cheerful. This was something Jiang Che could not compare to. In the face of Jiang Changsheng, Jiang Che could not be as comfortable in the eye as Emperor Shuntian.
During the morning court assembly the next month, Emperor Shuntian announced Great Jing’s next plan to the civil and military officials.
Great Jing was prepared to expand towards the West Sea!
Right now, Tianhai in the south and the East Sea in the east were under the control of Great Jing. If they were to control the West Sea, sooner or later,
Great Qi and the Tianhan Dynasty would be trapped to death. They would be able to unify the Dragon Vein Continent without any war.
Great Jing had already basically controlled the Dragon Vein Continent. Even Great Qi had no choice but to go along with Great Jing. Great Jing regarded loyalty as the foundation of the country and formed an alliance with Great Qi. Naturally, it was not good to tear up the contract. Moreover, Great Jing also needed Great Qi to share the conflict. If there was a problem with the empire, they could use other dynasties to divert the attention of the people.
After breaking through to the Grotto-heaven realm, Emperor Shuntian’s might greatly increased and he was extremely domineering. No one dared to refute his thoughts.
Jiang Che had also completely settled down and no longer thought about the ascension. He also began to practice martial arts and distributed his affairs to the officials he had roped in.
June.
Thousands of ships set off from the southern coastal port and the harbor of the Tianhai Islands. All of them headed towards the West Sea in a mighty and incomparably spectacular manner. All the martial artists and island residents along the way were amazed by the strength of Great Jing.
At the end of the month, Jiang Changsheng brought the little swallow into the Jade Bone Green Bamboo Forest.
He sucked the little swallow into the Dao World.
The rules of heaven and earth in the Dao World had been evolving. Coupled with the influence of the World Destruction Tree, the Cloud Sky Divine Tree, and many natural treasures, the Dao World was filled with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the spiritual energy of martial arts.
The Sky Crow that had been subdued previously was trapped on the World Destruction Tree by Jiang Changsheng, in order to prevent it from moving around for fear of burning his treasures. With the Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Sky Crow did not dare to be unbridled. When it realized that the World Destruction Tree was about as strong as it, it completely gave up on escaping and only wanted to find an opportunity to please Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng placed the little swallow demon by the Dragon Transformation Pond and then placed the Blood Soul of the Three-legged Golden Crow in front of it for it to absorb.
After cultivating for a year, the little swallow could already guide its demonic power. It could now use its demonic power to refine the blood soul and absorb it.
White Dragon, Tai Wa and Tai Xi came over.
“Master, who is that?”
The White Dragon asked curiously as she stared at the blood soul. For some reason, the blood soul made her feel uncomfortable, as if she had encountered her natural enemy.
Jiang Changsheng said, “In the future, it will be your younger brother. You have to take good care of it. Just like you, it is about to transform.”
Hearing this, White Dragon’s hostility towards the little swallow decreased and was replaced by even stronger sense of curiosity.
Younger brother?
For some reason, she suddenly felt close to the little swallow demon and even wanted to protect it.
Tai Wa, who had grown up, went to Jiang Changsheng and asked, “Can my brother and I also transform?”
They had witnessed White Dragon’s transformation and soaring strength, and they were envious of her.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “You don’t need to transform. You are already talented enough. All you need is time.”
He was telling the truth. While in the True God realm, Tai Wa and Tai Xi’s blood and qi were comparable to a Golden Body realm expert.
This breakthrough speed was too fast!
They were only thirty years old!
When Tai Wa heard that, she nodded obediently and remained silent.
Tai Wa could be said to be devastatingly beautiful once she grew up. Her upper body donned simple tree bark clothes to cover her embarrassment, while Tai Xi’s upper body was very strong. Even though they were siblings, he was still regarded Tai Wa as the leader.
Jiang Changsheng witnessed the little swallow completely absorbing the blood soul. Blood energy dissipated from its body and quickly wrapped around its body before condensing into a blood egg. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth began to surge and enter the egg.
Jiang Changsheng looked at it for a while and instructed, “Take good care of it and don’t let others approach and disturb it.”
White Dragon, Tai Wa and Tai Xi nodded.
Due to Jiang Changsheng’s favoritism, their status in the Dao World was the highest. Tai Wa and Tai Xi also had the support of the World Destruction Tree, so no other beasts dared to offend them.
Jiang Changsheng’s phantom dissipated and his consciousness returned to reality before he walked out of the house alone.
He began to look forward to the little swallow transforming into a three-legged Golden Crow.
Bai Qi asked in confusion, “Master, where’s the little bird?”
She was flustered when she did not see the little swallow demon. It suspect that the little swallow demon might undergo a transformation like White Dragon.
Damn it!
When would it be my turn?
She roared in her heart and went to Jiang Changsheng’s leg to lick his hand. Jiang Changsheng said, “I sent it somewhere to cultivate in seclusion.”
Bai Qi wailed, “It can’t be, right? Can a little bird turn into a True Dragon?
Master, when is it my turn?”
The moment she said that, the others looked at Jiang Changsheng.
Ji Wujun had also heard about White Dragon and was very interested in such methods.
Jiang Changsheng shook his head and said, “It won’t turn into a True Dragon. I just improved its aptitude. As for you, wait a little longer. In any case, you will always stay by my side..”
