“Dao Ancestor, what did you see?”
Ye Xun asked carefully. As for The Sword God, he did not care about it. He had already walked to Huang Tian and Hei Tian to catch up with them.
Jiang Changsheng did not hide anything and told them what he had seen and heard. When the Sword God and the three demons heard what he said, they turned to look at him.
The imperial family of the Great Wilderness?
The sky was about to break?
There was also the Outerworld Devil River!
Everyone was shocked when they heard that. They seemed to have come into contact with an extraordinary new world.
Ye Xun clicked his tongue in wonder. “I didn’t expect there to be an imperial family in the seemingly barbaric and primitive Great Wilderness. From what you said, the Great Wilderness had a system similar to humans in the past.
Otherwise, why would the imperial family summon all the ferocious beasts?”
Jiang Changsheng said, “There must be. The ferocious beasts of the Great
Wilderness can speak human language, and their languages are mostly similar. The Great Wilderness must have given birth to a civilization that is more prosperous than what humans and demons had created. It’s just that we have yet to come into contact with it, or perhaps they have already died in the long river of history. However, history is a cycle of reincarnation. Even until today, humans and demons are unable to set foot in the Great Wilderness, proving that the overall environment of the Great Wilderness is still higher than the endless ocean.”
Ye Xun nodded and began to talk about what he had seen and heard over the years. The Sword God would interrupt from time to time.
The Great Wilderness was vast. The two of them had traveled for countless miles together and had encountered all sorts of ferocious beasts. According to them, it was still easy to encounter martial artists in the Great Wilderness. The martial artists of Great Jing and the various vassal countries had already spread their branches in the Great Wilderness, covering a wider area than Skyview Land.
The population of Great Jing was also increasing. Coupled with the population of the various vassal countries, it had already exceeded ten billion.
It had been 28 years since they came to the Great Wilderness, and Great Jing had yet to encounter a calamity. These 28 years were the most peaceful period in the history of the Dragon Vein Continent, enough to be recorded in the annals of the many countries.
Jiang Changsheng listened with relish. Even though his clone was still collecting ferocious beasts and recording the scenes of the world, his experience was not as exciting as Ye Xun’s.
In the end, Ye Xun smiled and asked, “Dao Ancestor, when are you going out with us?”
With the Dao Ancestor accompanying them, they would dare to enter those dangerous places that they did not dare to step into before.
“Forget it. I don’t like to travel around the world.”
Jiang Changsheng shook his head and declined. He was not arrogant and still maintained his vigilance.
He seemed powerful, but it was only within the known range of the system. For the time being, he could not wander around. He had to concentrate most of his time on cultivation.
When Ye Xun heard that, he could only give up.
The two of them stayed in the courtyard for half a month before they left. After getting used to the Heaven-Deriving Martial Law, they could not stand the thought of relying on martial arts spiritual energy to temper their bodies and increase their strength. That would be too slow.
Jiang Changsheng could not help but think, “The influence of the Heaven-Deriving Martial Law on martial arts seems to have exceeded my expectations. Could it be that it will become the mainstream martial arts technique in the future? In that case, the conflict between humans and ferocious beasts will not be resolved.
Wasn’t this fate?
The world did not allow real peace for all races. They had to kill each other to ensure the abundance of natural resources.
Once the number of living beings was too large and the world could not supply them, there would definitely be chaos.
Who cares? In any case, I’ll cultivate!
Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes and continued to cultivate. As for the stone slab Ye Xun had given him, he had already thrown it into the Giant Spirit Ring. As the stone slab was special, it might have some uses if he kept it.
In September, the summer was scorching.
Jiang Changsheng was currently concocting a Body Tempering Potion for Bai Qi and the two car demons. The three demons crouched at the side, looking forward to what they were about to get.
Even though they did not go out and explore the Great Wilderness, their physiques were advancing by leaps and bounds with Jiang Changsheng’s medicinal pills. Even for mediocre Bai Qi, her speed of becoming stronger was considered first-rate in these past few years.
At this time, Ji Wujun walked quickly into the courtyard.
She was still wearing golden armor and holding the Dragon Soul Silver Spear, and her aura was extraordinary.
“Dao Ancestor, I’m back. The underground palace is now under Great Jing’s control.” Ji Wujun came to Jiang Changsheng’s side and whispered.
Jiang Changsheng glanced at her and smiled. “You’ve worked hard. Sit down and let’s talk.”
Ji Wujun smiled, sat next to Jiang Changsheng, and began to tell him about the trip to the underground palace.
The underground palace was extremely vast and extended in all directions. She even encountered Jiang Jian and the other two who were being chased by earthworms in the Five Grotto-heaven realm. Fortunately, she helped them out. Up until now, she and the martial artists of Great Jing had yet to understand how big the underground palace was and could only occupy an area.
With the experts of the Dragon Transformation Mansion present, Ji Wujun finally had the time to come back.
“That underground palace seems to involve the imperial family of the Great Wilderness. I don’t know who the imperial family of the Great Wilderness is. I only learned of its name from a stone slab, but for it to be called an imperial family, it must not be simple.” Ji Wujun frowned.
When Bai Qi heard that, she immediately revealed what Jiang Changsheng said about the slab.
When Ji Wujun heard that, her eyebrows wrinkled even more. “It seems that the Great Wilderness is not an absolute paradise. I hope the imperial family of the Great Wilderness will not endanger Great Jing. As long as we give Great Jing a thousand years, no, a few hundred years, we don’t have to be afraid after we become a Sacred Dynasty.”
Bai Qi questioned, “Is a Sacred Dynasty that powerful?”
Ji Wujun glanced at her and saw through her intentions. “A Sacred Dynasty is naturally strong, but any dynasty will go from a prosperous period to a weak period. Even though the Sacred Dynasty was in decline, it could still hold back the demons for dozens of years. This is enough to show the strength of the Sacred Dynasty. Moreover, after becoming a Sacred Dynasty, luck can increase the strength of martial artists. Additionally, it can also cast a luck array to resist the invasion of the unparalleled ferocious demons.”
Jiang Changsheng said casually, “The imperial family of the Great Wilderness has yet to be resurrected. Don’t worry about it for the time being.”
He had tried to ask the system about them before, but he could not receive an answer for the time being.
For the time being, there was no existence in the known area of the Great Wilderness that could threaten him. Perhaps there were still many remains of the imperial family deep inside the Great Wilderness.
Ji Wujun nodded and said, “Dao Ancestor, I have kept the remains of a ferocious beast. Can you help me refine a Body Tempering Medicine?”
“I’ll help you in a while.”
Jiang Changsheng casually agreed, and Ji Wujun smiled when she heard that. She bowed and turned to her room to remove her armor.
Huang Tian muttered, “The imperial family of the Great Wilderness sounds quite domineering. In the future, I’ll also establish a demon imperial family.
It’ll be more imposing.”
Jiang Changsheng ignored it. This cat was already dreaming.
A month later.
The Emperor issued an edict and publicized the news of the imperial underground palace in the Great Wilderness. He invited all martial artists to explore it. Martial artists who wanted to explore could go to the various martial arts academies to retrieve the map and enter the cave.
For a moment, the martial arts world was in an uproar. Many sects and families began to inquire about the palace, while ordinary martial artists bided their time and did not dare to rashly go.
However, as someone discovered magic iron that could be used to refine divine weapons and ferocious beasts with powerful bloodlines in the underground palace, all the martial artists in the world went crazy.
That was the current situation of Great Jing. Every time the imperial court revealed a place that contained countless opportunities, it would always attract the attention of martial artists. Even though there were casualties, it was still a great help to Great Jing as a whole.
As there were more and more state affairs, Jiang Che rarely visited Jiang Changsheng.
Year 42 of the Taihe Era.
Terrifying ferocious beasts had appeared in the imperial underground palace and killed many martial artists. The Emperor immediately sent a large number of White-robed Guards to assist the Dragon Transformation Mansion. The current strength of the White-robed Guards far exceeded the past. Under the Emperor’s influence, guards of different realms had formed. There were even guards who were in the One Grotto-heaven realm, but they were quite rare.
This battle was the most tragic battle since Great Jing came to the Great
Wilderness, and it affected the hearts of everyone.
Even then, Jiang Changsheng did not take action. After all, that ferocious beast was only guarding the underground palace and did not invade Great Jing. He did not know if he could obtain a survival reward if he were to take action. Even if he could, the reward would be very low. It was better to let Great Jing resolve the problem itself. He could not let Great Jing develop a habit of relying on him.
The war lasted for half a year before it ended. With the joint efforts of Zhu Tianzhi, Ye Xun, and the other peerless experts, they successfully killed the ferocious beast. On the way, they also discovered many unknown treasures and their harvest was huge.
Jiang Changsheng still maintained the habit of attaching himself to a worshiper every month. He had countless worshippers, and there would always be someone who needed his help to resolve their life-and-death calamity. Even though he did not obtain any survival rewards from doing this, his incense points had been increasing very quickly, and more and more worshipers appeared where he had help his worshipers.
The incense offerings were indeed powerful. Every worshiper that he possessed would become his fanatical followers and publicize it for him.
On the other side.
Li Yi, who had obtained the fate of Five Directional Lightning God , had also begun to become famous in the Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty. This was deliberately promoted by Li Ya. Some believed it, while others scoffed at it. However, overall, the number of the worshipers in the Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty was increasing.
Jiang Changsheng calculated that he could obtain at least 200 million incense points a year.
This speed was much faster than before he broke through, and it was growing at a constant speed.
The Inviting God with Incense function that had been laid out for so many years finally had an effect.
Next was the Incense Divine Bestowel function. Jiang Changsheng chose five more die-hard believers from various places and activated the fates of five eighth-ranked immortal gods for them. In a short month, he spent 500 million incense points. It was an .
One of the five believers was from the demon race and believed in the Xuan Bird. Jiang Changsheng hoped to obtain incense points from the demon race through it.
On this day.
His clone returned and handed over the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror to him before integrating into his body.
Even though Jiang Changsheng had abundant magic power, the clone could only carry half of his magic power and could not produce magic power on its own. Therefore, it had to come back every once in a while.
The number of pages in the Classic of Mountains and Seas had reached 72, and there were more than 60 ferocious beasts that had reached the Grotto-heaven realm. This was a terrifying number. In other words, with the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Jiang Changsheng could summon more than 60 Grotto-heaven realm experts, with the Abyss Devil being at the level of a Demon Venerable.
The entire Great Jing was not as powerful as the Classic of Mountains and Seas in his hands, and that was including Guan Tongyou.
Thinking of this, Jiang Changsheng felt proud.
The magical treasures of Immortal Cultivators were much more powerful than the divine weapons of martial artists.
As for the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, he could not sense how powerful it was, but Jiang Changsheng could sense that the hidden power had undergone a transformation. He could even use the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror to observe the places that had been illuminated. In one of the scenes, he saw Jiang Che and the other two taking risks.
Bai Qi moved closer and cried out in surprise, “Master, why did you collect them?”
As soon as he said this, Huang Tian and Hei Tian immediately came over. Ji Wujun was also curious and could not help but come over.
Jiang Changsheng did not secretly use the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror. He was not afraid of losing his magical weapon. In this world, only he could use magical treasures, so he was not afraid of them being coveted by others. In the past, he concealed his magical treasures because he wanted to hide his strength..
