“Master, I’m done. Is the Dao Ancestor really an immortal?”
The young man said proudly. The Dao Ancestor was from Great Jing and had a close relationship with the Jiang Family. Naturally, he was proud.
As he spoke, he reached out to tear off a piece of roasted meat. Even though it was hot, he was starving and couldn’t care less.
The Nine Nether Devil King was silent and did not answer.
His heart fell into an unprecedented shock.
Could it be that the new imperial family member born from the human race was created by the Dao Ancestor?
If that was the case, how powerful was the Dao Ancestor who created an imperial family member?
His determination suddenly wavered.
Humans could not be touched!
However, he did not intend to give up. He could change his strategy.
He looked up at the young man, and his expression changed. He slowly said, “Jiang Ye, what is your goal in martial arts? Your greatest goal? Think carefully and boldly.”
Hearing this, the young man named Jiang Ye was stunned and fell into deep thought.
The Nine Nether Devil King did not deliberately lead his thoughts. Instead, he waited patiently.
After a long while.
Jiang Ye looked up and said in all seriousness, “Master, I want to become the most powerful person in Great Jing.”
He had wanted to practice martial arts since he was young. The more Jiang Liu suppressed him, the more he thought about it. Now, it had become an obsession of his.
The Nine Nether Devil King did not insult him. Instead, he calmly said, “Then prepare to pay with your life.”
Jiang Ye was not worried. Instead, he was filled with infinite expectations.
He had already experienced life and death, so he felt that there was nothing worthy of his fear.
Three years later, it was the 18th year of the Yan Yuan Era.
Jiang Tianming had finally grown up, but only a little. At the age of six, he looked like a one-year-old baby.
Since the beginning of spring this year, he had officially started practicing martial arts and was taught by Ji Wujun. She was very interested in this job and looked forward to nurturing a peerless Martial Emperor.
At the end of spring, the weather was cool.
Ye Xun and the Sword God had returned. The two of them had not returned for many years and both of them had made some progress. However, they were still a distance away from breaking through.
When they saw Jiang Tianming, they revealed curious expressions.
The news of Jing Mingzong giving birth to a Son of God had spread throughout Skyview Land. Everyone in Great Jing knew about this. Although many people had forgotten about it, the legend of the Son of God had always been circulating in the martial arts world. Naturally, Ye Xun and the Sword God had heard of it on their way back.
“That’s him? I’d like to see how godly he is!”
Ye Xun smiled and walked towards Jiang Tianming curiously.
This was the first time Jiang Tianming had seen an outsider, so he was a little nervous. When he saw Ye Xun walking towards him, he immediately dodged and appeared behind Jiang Changsheng as if he had teleported.
“This speed…”
Ye Xun’s pupils constricted. The Sword God was also shocked. He did not care about exchanging pleasantries with Bai Qi and stared at Jiang Tianming. “Wait! He’s in the Grotto-heaven realm? How old is he?”
Ye Xun suddenly felt something was amiss and his expression changed as he cried out in disbelief.
Bai Qi smiled proudly and said, “He was born as a Grotto-heaven realm expert. Don’t you think he’s a god?”
Hearing this, Ye Xun and the Sword God were shocked and looked at Jiang Tianming in horror.
Was he still human if he was born as a Grotto-heaven realm expert?
When Jiang Tianming saw their expressions, he could not help but pull his eyelids and stick out his tongue to make a teasing face.
Jiang Changsheng said, “You’re back. Coincidentally, you can teach him together in the future. It’s not easy to find such a disciple.”
Ye Xun and the Sword God were pleasantly surprised when they heard that.
“Sure!”
“Are we qualified?”
Their answers were different. Ye Xun was excited, but the Sword God was worried.
Jiang Changsheng said, “What you teach is martial arts. Those who have mastered it are teachers. Realm does not represent everything.”
He threw Jiang Tianming away, and Ye Xun immediately caught him.
The six-year-old Jiang Tianming was still wearing his undergarment and his hair was tied up on his head, making him look rather quirky. In such an attire, his handsome face was even more adorable.
He struggled with all his might when Ye Xun hugged him. However, Ye Xun was someone in the Three Grotto-heaven realm. How could he push him away with all his true qi?
“Stinky brat, don’t move. Back then, your old man was polite to me.”
Ye Xun laughed as he complained internally.
F*ck!
What kind of monster did Jiang Che give birth to? Why was he so strong?
If he did not circulate his true qi, he would not be able to control Jiang Tianming. Even if he did, he would feel pain from the grip. However, for the sake of his face, he had to pretend that it did not matter.
Jiang Tianming stopped and asked curiously, “You know my father?”
Ye Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Of course, I watched your father grow up!”
He began to brag incessantly, and Jiang Tianming listened attentively.
Jiang Changsheng smiled. He saw through Ye Xun’s embarrassment, but he did not expose him.
Just like that, Ye Xun and the Sword God did not go down the mountain after they returned. They began to teach Jiang Tianming and accompany him as he grew up. Jiang Changsheng did not treat them unfairly. He took out the flesh and blood of the Seven Great Demon Saints for them to temper their bodies.
The days became even more lively.
On the other side, the Barren Province had been completely established. With the addition of many martial arts forces, the Barren Province rose rapidly. In terms of strength, the martial artists recorded in the household registration were second only to the Si Province and the Donghai Province. In the future, they were on the verge of becoming the number one province.
The Barren Province was located in the Great Wilderness, and it was extremely convenient for martial artists to go out and hunt. Naturally, it could attract martial arts sects and merchants. Shuntian City, in the throne room.
“Rebellion!”
“Rebellion!”
Jiang Liu stood in front of the dragon throne and roared angrily. All the civil and military officials in the hall lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.
Jiang Liu cursed. “How much money did I spend to build the Barren Province? In the end, the profits of a whole year turned into a loss. Do you think I’m a fool? Even if the expenses were huge, what do you mean I have to wait for a few more years? Where did the money from the teleportation array go? And the taxes on the land? Why are there so few? Did no one buy it?”
“Investigate and find out who embezzled my money. No matter who it is, if you find out, their entire family will be implicated!”
The officials were as silent as cicadas in the winter. However, many of them lowered their heads with a nonchalant expression.
After a long while.
The morning court session was dismissed, and Jiang Liu angrily returned to the imperial study. Chen Li followed behind him with his hands in his sleeves, looking relaxed.
As a powerful official who had assisted the emperors of five eras of the Jiang Dynasty, he had the qualifications and confidence to display such an attitude. There was no need to be too reserved.
Jiang Liu sat down and angrily said, “Teacher, tell me, who is supporting them? Someone has to take the lead!”
Chen Li said, “Even though His Majesty has left Jingcheng, the Dao Ancestor’s might is still there. No one dares to be rash. Naturally, those who dare to take the lead are not afraid of you nor the Dao Ancestor.”
Jiang Liu frowned and asked, “There’s someone so unbridled in Great Jing? Why didn’t I know? Could it be someone from Longqi Temple? That’s not right. No one from Longqi Temple came to the Barren Province.”
Chen Li shook his head.
Jiang Liu said with dissatisfaction, “Teacher, don’t be mysterious. I don’t like to use my brain.”
Chen Li smiled helplessly and said, “Naturally, he’s your relative. I heard that the King of the Northern Frontier went to the Barren Province. Even though he’s not the ruler of a province, he has a close personal relationship with the province lord.”the
Jiang Liu frowned and fell into silence.
Chen Li said, “The King of the Northern Frontier is the son of Jiang Tianzong, and his martial arts talent is peerless. He is already in the Grotto-heaven realm and is in control of the army. His connections in the imperial court are wider than His Majesty’s. Even if His Majesty wants to touch him, it will not be easy. Taizong has ordered that the imperial family must not be at odds with each other. If His Majesty wants to deal with him, he must have sufficient evidence to suppress him with the momentum of the public and force him into a passive situation.”
Jiang Liu’s frown deepened.
Due to the prosperity of martial arts, there were many relatives in the imperial family. The Son of Heaven had a limited lifespan, but these relatives could only obtain a longer lifespan if their martial arts realm was high. Right now, there were so many relatives that they were enough to make Jiang Liu unable to display the might of an emperor.
At that moment, Jiang Liu felt fear.
If this continued for a long time, the Jiang Family would definitely be in chaos. He already felt the pressure, not to mention the next emperor…
Chen Li did not say anything else and let the Emperor think for himself.
‘Not only relatives, but also powerful officials like me, upright officials, and even greedy officials. How can there be an eternally peaceful Sovereign
Dynasty in this world? How can there be an eternal Sovereign Dynasty? Your Majesty, what should you do?’
Chen Li stared at Jiang Liu and thought to himself.
He was powerful, but he could assist the Emperor with a clear conscience.
However, could the Emperor really trust him completely?
No, his power had been stripped. Right now, there were already several officials whose power was not inferior to his.
This was only in the imperial court. There were so many provinces and vassal countries in the dynasty. It was unknown how many ambitious people there were.
In the past, there was the Dao Ancestor to suppress them. However, the number of times the Dao Ancestor appeared decreased and the martial arts world of Great Jing was developing at a rapid pace. Not to mention whether the Dao Ancestor could always protect Great Jing, even if he was here, sooner or later, someone would appear and challenge the Dao Ancestor’s authority.
Great Jing needed change!
Chen Li wanted to use this matter to see if Jiang Liu was determined to change the land under the sky.
Jiang Liu gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, I will investigate the King of the Northern Frontier. Both of us have the surname Jiang, but I will tell him who is the ruler of the dynasty and who is the only bright sun that shrouds Skyview
Land!”
Chen Li revealed a gratified expression.
It was winter and it was snowing heavily in Jingcheng, causing the world to fall into a sea of white.
Jiang Changsheng looked at Jiang Tianming who was building a snowman in the courtyard while his mind was on Jiang Jian and the other two.
Jiang Jian and Lin Haotian had broken through the Three Grotto-heaven realm, and they decided to break through the blockade again.
And this time, Jiang Changsheng also intended to help them kill their way out.
Even though they could not bear his full strength, it should be enough.
This was also their own intentions. Recently, Lin Haotian had become more and more uneasy. Even Jiang Jian’s Eye of the Great Dao was often out of control. If this continued, the consequences would be unimaginable.
On the wasteland, Jiang Jian, Lin Haotian, Ping’an, and Ling Feng were flying. The four of them tensed up and were ready to fight at any time. When they came to the place where they were stopped before, the terrifying finger appeared again and stopped them at the end of the world.
The four of them had already mentally prepared themselves and continued to move forward.
They had been trapped here for long enough, and they could not stay for a moment longer.
“Are you really courting death?”
A dignified voice resounded throughout the world. Jiang Jian and the others looked up. In the dark vortex that filled the sky, a pair of eyes stood in the darkness and looked down at them as if they were ants on the ground.
Lin Haotian angrily said, “So you can speak. What exactly is your scheme?”
The mysterious Immemorial Venerable’s eyes were still cold as he said, “If you don’t move forward, you can live for another ten years. If you move forward now, I will not show mercy.”
Hearing this, Jiang Jian and Lin Haotian frowned. Ling Feng was trembling with nervousness while Ping’an was scratching his chest..
