Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At the end of the year, another season of snow covered the city. Jingcheng exuded a different kind of beauty amid the vast whiteness.
This was an ancient city that had existed for thousands of years in history. It was not built when Great Jing was founded. In the previous thirteen prefectures, it was once the imperial city of two dynasties. The political center of the previous Chu Dynasty was also in Jingcheng.
Jiang Changsheng sat on the Earth Spirit Tree and looked down at the entire city. As he looked at the people coming and going in the streets and alleys, his emotions surged.
In his previous life, he was also a mortal who had to run around for a living. Therefore, he could put himself in the shoes of these commoners and comprehend the rules of the secular world. An invisible force that seemed to not exist could always make the secular world develop in the same direction.
Cultivating the mental cultivation method of the Dao Technique, Jiang Changsheng realized that he had become more and more fond of observing the human world and all things in the world. Even the birth and death of a stalk of grass could allow him to gain some comprehension. Perhaps this was the necessary path to become an immortal and comprehend life.
Jiang Changsheng looked at the state of Jingcheng and thought of the believers he had helped before.
All the believers who had received his help had their lives changed. However, not everyone had changed for the better. Some even turned evil, while some no longer believed in him. There were all kinds of situations.
For example, one of his believers was suppressed by the overlord families in their town and were at their wit’s end, so they needed his help. However, that person returned from practicing martial arts and massacred the other party’s family, attracting the officials to hunt them down. As they fled, more and more people were killed. Even though they had no choice, they did more and more evil.
Some believed in him and wanted to benefit the world, but they were stabbed in the back and turned from good to evil.
Of course, there were also many people who had turned for the better. Some had experienced life and death. After experiencing despair, they would use his name to uphold justice.
All of this made Jiang Changsheng feel that how to treat his worshippers was an extremely complicated problem. However, even in the face of that problem, he did not hesitate and still maintained the frequency of helping one of his worshippers every month. However, there would always be someone in this world who could not wait for his help. This was the cruel reality.
If he founded the Immortal Dao, created more immortal gods to help the world, perhaps more people would be freed from their suffering. Of course, it could also create more bad karma. There was no such thing as having one over the other.
As Jiang Changsheng thought about it, the Dao Fruit in his body burst out with a strange power that surged into his soul and quenched it.
He suddenly came to a realization and thought to himself in self-mockery, “I originally only wanted to live for myself, live a selfish life and live longer. Now, I am also worried about others. Perhaps it is because I am powerful enough, but I have yet to reach the level I want.”
He did not reject his current mentality, but he must firmly pursue his goal of becoming the strongest and having eternal life.
Golden Crow landed on his shoulder and rubbed its head against his face. Its flames did not hurt him. Instead, it brought him warmth.
At the same time, outside the Si Province.
On a mountain path, Jiang Ye hurried along with a bag on one arm. Looking at the scenery of Si Province, he revealed an expectant expression.
On his shoulder lay a white-haired monkey. It scratched its head and looked around. In a low voice, it asked, “Jiang Ye, are you sure that the Dao Ancestor is in the Si Province? Why can’t I sense the aura of an extremely powerful expert in this province?”
Jiang Ye said proudly, “That’s because the Dao Ancestor far exceeds your senses. Naturally, you can’t sense him.”
The white-haired little monkey snorted and said, “You sure know how to brag. From the looks of it, it’s impossible for the Human Race to resist the invasion of the Qiangliang Race. In the outer southern region of the Great Wilderness, the Qiangliang Race is domineering, and everyone would keep a respectful distance from them. It’s not a good thing to be targeted by them.”
Jiang Ye impatiently said, “I’ve heard you bragging many times along the way. No matter how strong the Qiangliang Race is, we humans will not be afraid. We can only see the truth after a battle.”
The white-haired monkey spread its hands and said, “Alas, I’m just worried about you. Master sent me to protect you. Even though I don’t have powerful strength, I’m still knowledgeable.”
Jiang Ye curled his lips and remained silent.
He still remembered the mission his master had given him. Now that he was back, he was going to become a vassal king.
However, he had not returned to Shuntian City for many years, so it would not be appropriate for him to return directly. Therefore, he wanted to find the Dao Ancestor and ask him to speak up tor him.
The man and the monkey walked further and further away into the white snow, leaving footprints behind. However, his footprints were soon covered by the snow without leaving any traces.
At noon the next day, Jiang Ye came to pay a visit. He claimed to be a prince and was here to ask for a favor.
Jiang Changsheng agreed to let him enter Longqi Mountain. When he entered the courtyard, he was attracted by the scene in the courtyard.
Mu Lingluo and Ji Wujun were as beautiful as fairies from heaven. Ye Xun and the Sword God were sitting on the eaves meditating like they were peerless experts that sat high above. Venerable Bai, who taught Jiang Tianming, was filled with the temperament of an otherworldly expert. Bai Qi, White Dragon, Tai Wa, Tai Xi, and Golden Crow made him even more nervous.
“Imperial… Race…’
The white-haired monkey cried out in surprise, his tone filled with disbelief.
Its gaze landed on Tai Wa and Tai Xi as it trembled.
When Jiang Ye heard that, he could not help but look at Tai Wa and Tai Xi.
Everyone in the courtyard was attracted by its cry and looked at Tai Wa and Tai Xi.
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and said, “Come here.”
There was also a vertical birthmark between Jiang Ye’s eyebrows, which had become the symbol of the Jiang Family’s orthodox bloodline.
Jiang Ye looked at Jiang Changsheng and became even more nervous. Even though Jiang Changsheng looked young and handsome, he could guess at a glance that he was the Dao Ancestor.
It was rumored that the Dao Ancestor was flawless, which was reflected in his appearance, physique, and temperament.
Jiang Ye came to Jiang Changsheng and knelt down. “Jiang Ye pays respect to the Dao Ancestor.”
The white-haired monkey sized up Jiang Changsheng and was shocked when it realized that it could not see through him. However, when it met Jiang Changsheng’s smiling eyes, it lowered its head in fright.
Jiang Changsheng slowly said, “What’s wrong with you?”
Jiang Ye looked up and recounted his previous encounter. The more he spoke, the more sad he felt. For some reason, when he saw Jiang Changsheng, he felt inexplicably close to him. Even when he told his master these things, he did not feel so aggrieved.
When Jiang Changsheng heard that, he asked, “So, what do you want? Revenge?”
Jiang Ye shook his head and said, “I only want to go back, but I’ve been missing for so many years…”
Jiang Changsheng said, “Yes, I understand. I will have the Emperor confer you the title of king.”
Jiang Ye was his believer, so he could hear his thoughts.
Hearing this, Jiang Ye was pleasantly surprised and hastily thanked Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng stared at the white-haired monkey and asked, “You know the Imperial Race of the Great Wilderness?”
In fact, he had already guessed it. When he peeked at the stone slab of the Imperial Race of the Great Wilderness, he had seen a Naga. From the looks of it, Tai Wa and Tai Xi were really from the Imperial Race. No wonder they were born with the protection of the World Destruction Tree. There must be something extraordinary about the Imperial Race that would urge creatures to protect them. This was the talent of an imperial.
The white-haired monkey nodded before shaking its head. “I don’t know them personally, but my race will pass on our memories from generation to generation. The memories of our ancestors contain the figures of the Imperial
Race, and they looked exactly the same.”
Everyone gathered around them. Tai Xi was the most excited. He grabbed the white-haired monkey and questioned the Imperial Race. However, Tai Wa was calm and her expression did not change.
The white-haired little monkey was very nervous and said, “About the Imperial
Race, I only know about the legends surrounding them. After all, the Imperial
Race has been exterminated and there are only a few members of the Imperial
Race scattered throughout the world. It’s useless even if you ask me.”
Jiang Ye’s heart ached for it and he hastily said, “Dao Ancestor, compared to the Imperial Race, there is another race that is worth paying attention to. That is the Qiangliang Race. The Qiangliang Race is preparing to attack the Human
Race!”
As soon as he said that, everyone’s gaze was attracted to him.
The white-haired monkey nodded vigorously and said, “That’s right. The range of human activity is getting larger and larger, and the Heaven -Deriving Martial Law has already spread throughout the myriad races. This technique will destroy the balance in the outer southern region of the Great Wilderness. Naturally, the Qiangliang Race that believes themselves to be the overlord will not sit back and do nothing…
Jiang Changsheng asked in his heart.
“How powerful is the strongest expert of the Qiangliang Race?”
[Requires 5,550,000,000 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]
NO!
“How powerful is the strongest expert the Qiangliang Race can invite?”
[Requires 5,900,000,000 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]
NO!
The Fifth level of the Heaven and Earth Emperor realm!
How powerful.
From the looks of it, the Qiangliang Race was very far away from the Human Race. Two years ago, the value of the strongest expert in the known range of the system had only exceeded 6 billion incense points.
Jiang Changsheng noticed the white-haired monkey’s words.
Could it be that the system had only covered the outer southern region of the Great Wilderness? How big was the Great Wilderness?
He began to question the white-haired monkey one by one.
The white-haired little monkey was one of the Seven Great Spirit Monkeys in the Great Wilderness, a White Spirit Sky Monkey. The Seven Great Spirit Monkeys had different abilities, and the White Spirit Sky Monkeys could inherit memories from their ancestors, allowing them to know many things in the Great Wilderness.
According to it, the Great Wilderness was so vast that even the White Spirit Sky Monkey Race could not comprehend it. The outer southern region alone was already considered endless. In addition, the endless ocean was only endless for humans and demons. In fact, it was only a vast sea in the Great Wilderness. There were still many such seas.
The Qiangliang Race had lived here since ancient times. A long time ago, humans were driven out of the Great Wilderness. It was the Qiangliang Race that obeyed the orders of the Imperial Race and drove them out. Therefore, the return of humans caused such a huge commotion, making the Qiangliang Race very dissatisfied. Before long, the Qiangliang Race would attack. They wanted to eliminate the Heaven-Deriving Martial Law. Anyone who grasped the Heaven-Deriving Martial Law had to die, especially the creator. That was their main goal.
There were more than a thousand tribes in the Qiangliang Race, and there were more than a hundred million people in each tribe. It was similar to a prosperous dynasty. Any intelligent race that could establish themselves in the Great Wilderness had to pay tribute to the Qiangliang Race.
Hearing the White Spirit Sky Monkey’s description of the Qiangliang Race, everyone was even more shocked. They did not expect that such a powerful race was hidden in the Great Wilderness.
Jiang Changsheng was deep in thought.
He had heard of Qiangliangs in his previous life. They were recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It was said that there was also a shadow of Qiangliangs in the legends of other continents.
What was the relationship between this world of martial arts and Earth?
Jiang Changsheng said, “While you are at it, when you return to Shuntian City, tell the Emperor to make preparations.”
After Jiang Ye nodded, Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes.
The others pulled the White Spirit Sky Monkey and questioned it. The White Spirit Sky Monkey was afraid of them, so it could only answer their questions one by one. It was not until night fell that the crowd reluctantly let them go.
After they went down the mountain, Jiang Ye and the White Spirit Sky Monkey breathed a sigh of relief.
“I believe it now. The Dao Ancestor is not a mortal. He even dared to raise the Imperial Race and the extinct True Dragon. Oh right, even the Fire Crow on that tree is extraordinary. There is no such creature in the memories of my ancestors…”
The White Spirit Sky Monkey lamented. Jiang Ye raised his head proudly..
