“Lu An, what did you say?”
Li Ya narrowed his eyes and asked. He interrupted everyone’s voice and caused all the officials in the court to look at Lu An.
Lu An, who had gray hair, cupped his hands and said, “My suggestion is to join
Great Jing. No matter which dynasty you join, it will be a risk. However, Great Jing is different. We have learned a lot about it. Everyone, putting aside the hatred of the past wars, is Great Jing’s actions open and aboveboard? Is the Dao
Ancestor’s magnanimity unmatched in the world?”
As soon as he said that, many people immediately scolded him.
“No matter who you vote for, you will never vote for Great Jing!”
“Have you forgotten about the blood feud between hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the East Continent?”
“If not for Great Jing, how could Fengtian have such tough days?”
“Lu An, this bastard, is really ambitious. As expected of a merchant, he’s not worthy of discussing politics!”
“Your Majesty, decapitate him. We will not allow him to confuse the public with his lies!”
Lu An did not panic in the slightest in the face of the insults and threats from the civil and military officials. He faced them calmly and looked at the Emperor.
Li Ya snorted and said, “What blood feud? Don’t you feel ashamed? Fengtian took the initiative to invade Great Jing and lost. Is it that you can’t afford to lose? In my opinion, Great Jing’s magnanimity is higher than Fengtian’s. If the Emperor of Great Jing came to Fengtian, would you have let him leave safely. Also, if the Dao of Martial Luck was created by Fengtian, would you be willing to teach it to Great Jing?
The entire hall was silent.
Those officials who did not speak before revealed mocking expressions. They could tell what the Emperor meant by not saying anything.
“For the time being, let’s put aside which Sovereign Dynasty we should choose. I do not believe that the power of Fengtian will be exhausted. Pass on my decree and open the boundary to the world. All martial artists above the
Spiritual Sense realm can enter the boundary!”
Li Ya coldly said. Then, he stood up and left with a flick of his sleeves.
“Your Majesty, that is the luck of the country!”
“If we were to let go, the dynasty would definitely be in turmoil!”
“That’s Fengtian’s greatest reserve. That’s impossible!”
The civil and military officials were furious, but Li Ya did not care and quickly left.
The upheaval in Fengtian was not the only one. Many human Sovereign Dynasties were the same. They did not have the time to break through to become a Sacred Dynasty. The forces of the Seven Great Demon Saints had already brought about a great threat, so they had no choice but to put down their ambitions.
Yera 34 of the Taihe Era, mid-July.
Jiang Changsheng was finally about to break through. The spiritual energy in his body had reached an extremely saturated state. If he continued to inhale Qi, the heavenly tribulation would arrive at any time. He opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
He had waited for this day for a long time.
Finally!
It had been two years since he killed the Abyss Devil. In the past two years, the luck of Great Jing had increased. Even Bai Qi, Huang Tian, and Hei Tian had broken through one after another. All the martial artists in Great Jing were breaking through. And finally, it was his turn!
Jiang Changsheng had a premonition that this breakthrough would be extraordinary, so he sent a voice transmission to Jiang Che and asked him to announce this matter to prevent the people from being apprehensive and causing chaos.
When Jiang Che heard that, he immediately wrote an imperial decree and spread it throughout the dynasty.
Five days later, all the cities in Skyview Land posted this notice to announce to the public.
The news of the Dao Ancestor’s attempt to transcend the heavenly tribulation quickly spread, attracting the attention of the commoners. Martial artists from Si Province and the nearby provinces rushed to the capital to witness this grand occasion.
It had been 89 years since the last time the Dao Ancestor transcended the tribulation. For ordinary people, 89 years was a lifetime. How could they not come and watch?
For a moment, the capital was bustling with activity.
Even Mu Lingluo returned to Longqi Mountain. The words ‘heavenly tribulation’ sounded terrifying. She was somewhat worried about Jiang Changsheng, but she did not say it out loud. She just wanted to personally witness Jiang Changsheng’s heavenly tribulation to prevent any accidents from happening.
“Transcending the heavenly tribulation? What kind of realm is that?”
Ji Wujun was secretly apprehensive. She had never heard of a martial artist who needed to transcend the heavenly tribulation to break through. At most, it was to break the demon in their hearts.
Jiang Changsheng was chatting with Mu Lingluo and asking about the Mu Family.
Mu Lingluo had just broken through to the Grotto-heaven realm, and the entire Mu Family had helped her hunt ferocious beasts to help her grow faster. This was the execution power of a large family.
It was not only the Mu Family. Other aristocratic families and forces were also using the same strategy to nurture an expert that could shoulder their reputation. As a result, at least two Grotto-heaven realm experts were born in Great Jing every year, and there were more than ten Universe realm experts.
If it were a hundred years ago, how could they expect such prosperity?
Especially after coming to the Great Wilderness, Great Jing’s growth speed had skyrocketed. It could be said that it had improved by leaps and bounds.
Noon.
Jiang Changsheng stood up and under the gaze of everyone in the courtyard, he said with a smile, “It’s time to transcend the tribulation. God is not waiting for anyone. You don’t have to worry. It’s just a small tribulation. It won’t kill me.” With that said, he leaped up and flew out of Longqi Mountain on a cloud.
Huang Tian asked curiously, “Doesn’t Master know how to fly? Why does he always have to ride on clouds to fly?”
Bai Qi snorted. “What do you know? Master can fly, but can you ride on clouds?”
Huang Tian was at a loss and could not refute.
Mu Lingluo looked up at the sky worriedly and did not care about the two demons’ bickering.
Ji Wujun was looking forward to it. She believed that the Dao Ancestor would be safe and sound. What she was looking forward to was what the heavenly tribulation would be like.
Jiang Changsheng flew into the sky, more than a hundred miles away from the ground. The reason why he was so high was because he was afraid of endangering the citizens.
As he sat on a cloud, the Ultimate Yang Divine Light emitted a strong light, making him as dazzling as the sun. This made the martial artists and commoners who had been waiting in the capital look up one after another. For a moment, the entire capital became lively. Word spread by word of mouth, allowing more and more people to know that the Dao Ancestor was about to break through.
Soon, thunderclouds gathered and the sky changed color.
Rumble—
Terrifying heavenly might enveloped the capital and the Si Province as the range continued to expand.
Jiang Changsheng looked at his incense points.
[Current incense points: ,994]
4.2 billion!
He felt much more at ease. The might of the lightning far exceeded the last time he transcended the tribulation. Even before it began, he felt his heart palpitate.
The thunderclouds surged, causing more and more provinces in Great Jing to fall into darkness. The phenomenon was even more exaggerated than Jiang Changsheng had expected. Not long after, the entire Great Jing was covered by thunderclouds that were still expanding, covering the other vassal countries.
The people of Great Jing already knew that the Dao Ancestor was about to break through, so they were more curious. As for the other vassal countries, they knew the news slower, so their citizens were terrified. They thought that a natural disaster was about to strike.
After five minutes, the entire Skyview Land was covered by thunderclouds.
Even the martial artists and carriages coming and going in the Great Wilderness turned to look at the horizon. The sight was so oppressive. They thought that a world-shocking demon had attacked Great Jing. Everyone was in a state of panic. Some were afraid and did not dare to return. Some were worried about their families and sped up.
Jiang Changsheng looked up and saw purple lightning overflowing from the thunderclouds.
It was purple lightning!
Jiang Changsheng immediately activated a shield with incense points. He could not bear to spend incense points lavishly because he had to use it for this day.
He had never been so extravagant before.
Boom!
A terrifying bolt of lightning struck down, and a purple light flashed between heaven and earth, scaring everyone who was in the middle of a discussion, including Ji Wujun and Mu Lingluo on Longqi Mountain.
Mu Lingluo’s heart tightened, and she became even more worried about Jiang Changsheng.
Ji Wujun’s heart was in turmoil. This heavenly tribulation was too strong!
“How is this not dangerous?”
Bai Qi shouted and expressed the thoughts of others.
That purple lightning alone was enough to flatten the capital and the Si Province!
Ji Wujun asked herself honestly, if she were to face the purple lightning just now, she would certainly turn into ashes.
As the first purple lightning fell, the heavenly tribulation officially began! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Streaks of purple lightning of different sizes bombarded Jiang Changsheng, but they were all isolated by the protective shield of incense. The purple lightning that filled the sky was like a purple dragon swaying. It was a spectacular sight. Throughout the Skyview Land, people from all the vassal countries could see the purple lightning in the distance.
Great Qi.
The imposing Qi Jun stood in front of the palace and looked at the horizon from afar.
He was the great Qi Tian’s son. Now that he had changed his name to Qi Jun, he was also the reincarnation of Wang Chen.
As the ruler of a vassal country, he naturally obtained the imperial edict in advance and knew that the Dao Ancestor of Great Jing was transcending the tribulation.
For some reason, Qi Jun was in a trance.
Ever since he was young, he had never felt any disgust towards the Dao
Ancestor of Great Jing. He was even filled with curiosity and yearning. When Great Qi hated Great Jing and the court discredited the Dao Ancestor, he was still filled with expectations for him. However, he had never seen him until today.
“I seem to have seen this scene in my dream.”
Qi Jun muttered to himself, his eyes drifting away. He fell into a nostalgic mood and could not extricate himself.
Even though Jiang Changsheng was shocked when he saw the rapidly decreasing incense points, he could still accept it.
He began to feel the heavenly might.
How terrifying. Could it be that the martial arts world was furious?
As Jiang Changsheng transcended the tribulation, he calculated the strongest experts near the Skyview Land. Other than him, the value of the strongest experts had always been at Guan Tongyou, so there were no powerful enemies for the time being.
He was afraid that the lightning tribulation would alarm those terrifying existences in the Great Wilderness, but he had no choice. Even if he did not break through in the Great Wilderness, he might attract the attention of the demons if he went to the endless ocean. That would be even worse.
Endless lightning struck Jiang Changsheng, but it could not hurt him.
Such a spectacular scene made the citizens of Great Jing kneel down and gain the admiration of martial artists.
“It’s really a tribulation!”
“Of course. Would my grandfather lie to me? Back then, in order to watch the
Dao Ancestor transcend the tribulation, my grandfather did not eat or drink!”
“It’s hard to imagine how powerful the Dao Ancestor is. Even a Grotto-heaven realm expert can’t withstand such a heavenly tribulation, right?”
“He is an immortal. He cannot be measured by the realm of martial arts.”
“This is fighting against the heavens. Even the heavens cannot subdue the Dao Ancestor.”
“It is said that the demise of the Sacred Dynasty is the end of the human race. It was the Dao Ancestor who forcefully continued the fate of the human race.
Therefore, the Heavenly Dao does not tolerate it.”
There were all sorts of speculations and comments.
Jiang Changsheng clearly saw the decrease in incense value.
The corners of his mouth rose. This was the reason why he asked Jiang Che to announce it to the world. Even though the incense points were enough, it was a good thing if it could increase more.
There was no such thing as too many incense points!
Just like that, an hour passed and Jiang Changsheng’s incense value decreased by 1.5 billion.
It was equivalent to the value of fifteen Demon Venerables combined!
However, the heavenly tribulation had changed.
The purple lightning gradually disappeared, and more and more golden lightning appeared. The shape of the lightning was also changing.
“Roar!”
An earth-shattering dragon’s roar exploded and the thunderclouds were knocked away. A five-clawed golden dragon condensed from golden lightning swooped down, as if a huge hole had been pierced through the sky. A true dragon from beyond the heavens had descended to the mortal world. Anyone in the dynasty could see this spectacular scene no matter how far away they were. It was hard to imagine how huge the five-clawed golden dragon was..
