Chapter 271: Enlightenment Begins, Battle of the Martial Emperors

“30,000 years old? It’s still growing?”
Lin Haotian’s eyes brightened, and his interest was piqued.
On the other hand, Jiang Jian was more concerned about the matter between the princess of the spirit race and the Jing Emperor. He continued to ask Ling Feng about this matter. Ling Feng told him everything he knew, and it did not seem like he was faking it. Jiang Jian breathed a sigh of relief.
On second thought, he could not help but laugh at himself.
With his grandfather presiding over Great Jing, how could it be chaotic?
Lin Haotian looked at Jiang Jian and said, “Do it. If we succeed, you can let the Emperor try it. If the longevity pill is successfully produced, you and I can ask him for it.”
Who would not want to live longer? Lin Haotian was someone who believed in miracles. He believed that nothing was impossible. The longevity pill seemed impossible, but as long as someone continued to study it, they would eventually succeed.
Jiang Jian hesitated for a moment before he nodded in agreement.
Seeing that they agreed, Ling Feng immediately smiled and hastily said, “I will lead the way for you, but I will not participate in the battle. I am too weak.”
Lin Haotian and Jiang Jian had no objections, but they still kept their guard up against Ling Feng.
Two years had passed, and it was now the 4th year of the Changle Era.
Under the Emperor’s push, the Dao of Civil and Martial Arts flourished. Countless scholars and beauties cultivated the Dao of Civil and Martial Arts, and there were singing and dancing pavilions in the many cities of Skyview Land.
The Emperor began to focus on developing the Shuntian City built by Jing Tianzong in the past. He wanted to turn Shuntian City into a real city of paradise. In the capital, it was not appropriate for him to display his skills because the officials did not want the atmosphere to be too relaxed. The capital was the center of power in Great Jing, so it had to maintain its sense of dignity. This was also a form of respect for the previous emperors of Great Jing.
After Jiang Qing ascended the throne, he had indeed won the hearts of many people. It was mainly because there was no chaos in Great Jing and he had enriched the lives of the citizens. Simply pursuing martial arts seemed so boring.
He promoted many martial arts activities and launched various competitions. Even the martial arts world was stirred up by him. Of course, many ancient martial artists had some criticisms. They felt that this festive atmosphere had caused them to delay their training. However, they did not dare to criticize the Emperor in public and could only discuss in private.
It had to be said that under Jiang Qing’s rule, the dynasty had become extremely lively. For Jiang Changsheng, the most obvious thing was that there were fewer visitors to Longqi Temple.
Fortunately, the growth of his incense points was still fast, so he did not pay much attention to it.
One day, in the evening.
Bai Qi brought Huang Tian and Hei Tian into the courtyard. The three demons were acting arrogant, as if they had just returned from patrolling.
“Master, there are many demon beasts in the capital. Recently, there has been a trend of controlling demons. The streets and alleys are filled with all kinds of demon beasts,” Bai Qi said with a smile.
Jiang Changsheng was currently cultivating and did not reply.
Bai Qi went to Ji Wujun’s side and talked about what she had seen and heard today.
Martial artists did not have spiritual will. Even if they had outstanding eyesight and hearing, they could not peek into the city just by sitting in the courtyard.
Jiang Changsheng observed the Dao World as he trained.
White Dragon, Golden Crow, and the other creatures became stronger and stronger. The weakest among them had already reached the Universe realm. The main reason was that they were extremely talented and could enjoy a huge amount of martial arts spiritual energy. Therefore, they became stronger very quickly.
Jiang Changsheng stared at a stalk of grass under the Cloud Sky Divine Tree. This grass looked ordinary, but he could sense that it was absorbing spiritual energy.
This was not simple. Other flowers and plants stimulated spiritual energy, but it was the only one absorbing it.
Jiang Changsheng suspected that it would develop intelligence. If it succeeded, it would be the first native creature in the Dao World.
However, under Jiang Changsheng’s gaze, the grass suddenly withered and could no longer absorb spiritual energy.
It had failed.
Jiang Changsheng was not disappointed. Instead, he was very happy. With the first time, there would be a second time and many more times. Constant failure would eventually lead to success. At the very least, it meant that the Dao World had begun to give birth to living beings.
When the Dao World became a real world, he could casually manifest himself and obtain more incense points, which would be helpful for his future cultivation.
There was no end to the road. Even if he became an immortal god, he would certainly continue to cultivate.
Jiang Changsheng’s small goal was to become an immortal god, while his main goal was to become stronger and break through layer after layer of major realms.
As he watched the plant wither, Jiang Changsheng’s thoughts fell into a mysterious state.
Ever since he went down the mountain to stroll around the Changle Banquet, such a state had often appeared.
He called it comprehending the Dao.
Enlightenment was not about gaining sudden enlightenment and ascending one’s realm. Instead, it was about comprehending the Great Dao. What was the Great Dao? Everything in the world was the Great Dao.
For immortal cultivators, they could comprehend the Dao by seeing different things and obtaining different experiences. Their hearts could comprehend the Dao and stimulate their state of mind. When their state of mind was clear, it could benefit their souls.
This was an extraordinary cultivation method. It was different from the Martial Dao. Going down this path meant relying on spiritual energy to temper their body and absorb energy to cultivate, making themselves stronger through their mental state.
Perhaps this was the benefit that came from the advancement of the Dao Technique. The ninth level was to refine one’s soul.
As Jiang Changsheng entered a state of enlightenment, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged into his body and formed a whirlwind around him, startling Ji Wujun and the three demons.
There were many types of spiritual energy in this world. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was the purest and most primitive. It was usually suppressed by the spiritual energy of martial arts, but that did not mean it did not exist. Only Jiang Changsheng could mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Naturally, it would cause waves.
Bai Qi excitedly asked, “Is Master going to break through again?”
Ji Wujun did not say anything as she stared at Jiang Changsheng in surprise.
How many years had passed since the last tribulation? This was too fast.
Could he really be the reincarnation of an immortal? Was he just recovering his own strength?
Under their gazes, Jiang Changsheng’s expression was calm. He was so quiet and harmonious, as if he had become one with the world.
Above the endless ocean, two figures confronted each other in the air.
It was Emperor Wu Ren and the sloppy old man who wanted to take Lin Haotian as his disciple. Their auras were secretly competing with each other, causing the sea of clouds to stop.
Emperor Wu Ren was expressionless as he asked, “Are you the same as me?”
The sloppy old man grinned and said, “That’s right. You should be able to sense that you and I are the same. You and I should join hands and create more existences like us.”
Emperor Wu Ren’s eyes flickered as he said, “What kind of existence am I? I can’t remember why I was born, but I am instinctively accustomed to many things. Just like right now, you and I can communicate, which is something I can’t understand.”
The sloppy old man laughed out loud and said, “I had the same confusion as you back then. It took me hundreds of years to figure it out. This is the will of the heavens, the spirituality bestowed to us by the heavens. We were born with great power that surpassed all living beings. We were born to understand all things and possess extremely high intelligence. We are the most perfect creation, but we are too perfect. Therefore, there are very few existences like us and we cannot reproduce like other living beings. However, I have thought of a method and I need your help.”
“I’ve investigated you. Your predecessor was known as Emperor Wu Ren, and he was in the Heaven and Earth Emperor realm. The premise for our birth was the death of a Martial Emperor. Since ancient times, there have been too many Heaven and Earth Emperor realm experts. If you and I resurrect them, we can form a family. Even if we can’t reproduce, we will still exist forever. We can rule all races in the world and become gods of the secular world!”
When Emperor Wu Ren heard that, his eyes emitted a terrifying light.
He stared at the sloppy old man and said, “If we become a race, who will be the leader? Between us, who will be the leader?” The sloppy old man smiled conceitedly and said, “Naturally, it’s me!”
“But you’re not as strong as me. I can sense it.”
“That’s only in terms of power and strength. I’ve mastered all the martial arts of the physical body. You’re not my opponent. Moreover, I’m confident that I can become stronger in the future.”
“Is that so?”
Emperor Wu Ren’s aura became stronger and stronger.
The sloppy old man shook his head and laughed. “In that case, let’s fight.” Boom!
Emperor Wu Ren released a terrifying aura that caused the sea beneath him to sink, forming a huge vortex. The sea of clouds above was also dispersed and swept towards all directions.
The strong wind blew against his face, but the sloppy old man did not panic. Instead, he revealed a satisfied smile.
“Then I’ll show you the most powerful battle intent in the Middle Ages!”
Under the Earth Spirit Tree, Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and turned to the south.
He could sense two forces stronger than the Seven Great Demon Saints
fighting.
Martial Emperors!
It was the two resurrected Martial Emperors!
Jiang Changsheng used the Limitless Eyes of Heaven and Earth to look over. His gaze pierced through the sea and the world shrank. He quickly caught sight of the two Martial Emperors.
The battle between Martial Emperors was earth-shattering and far exceeded the previous battle between Emperor Wu Ren and the Seven Great Demon Saints.
At that time, Emperor Wu Ren stopped too early, and the Seven Great Demon Saints did not attack with all their might due to the Heaven and Earth Furnace.
At this moment, Emperor Wu Ren and the sloppy old man were engaged in a free-for-all battle. The sea within a radius of millions of miles set off tempestuous waves that affected the distant islands and continents.
Emperor Wu Ren was clearly stronger than before. He had even comprehended a set of fist techniques. Every punch could mobilize martial arts spiritual energy and erupt with terrifying power.
The sloppy old man was even more powerful as he entered a berserk state. It was very similar to the Heaven Imprisoning Battle Intent that Mu Lingluo had inherited. However, compared to the Heaven Imprisoning Battle Intent, the sloppy old man’s battle intent had an extreme killing intent. His net worth in terms of incense points was lower than Emperor Wu Ren, but he could suppress him.
“That old man is not simple.”
Jiang Changsheng thought to himself. He had no intention of interfering. If he were to interfere now, there would be no survival reward, so he might as well let them live.
In the endless ocean, more and more experts felt the pressure of the battle between the Martial Emperors.
Venerable Bai, who was far away on a continent, opened his eyes and turned to look at the horizon with a frown.
“What a powerful aura. It’s even stronger than the previous Martial Emperor of the Sacred Dynasty. There’s no trace of demonic aura. Could it be that Emperor Wu Ren is fighting with that existence? Why are they fighting?”
Venerable Bai muttered to himself as a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
Ever since Emperor Wu ren lost control and that existence betrayed him, he increasingly felt that the demons were not the most terrifying enemy of the human race. The battle between the humans and the demons had only started an unprecedented dark prelude.
The fight lasted for several days, until even Ji Wujun felt the pressure.
It had to be said that the Heaven and Earth Emperor realm was indeed powerful.
One person was enough to sink an entire continent!
They were only in the first level of the Heaven and Earth Emperor realm. He wondered how powerful a tenth level of Heaven and Earth Emperor realm would be.
When Jiang Changsheng thought of this, he immediately calculated the strongest expert within the detection range of the system..
