Chapter 313: Genesis Stone Tablet, Nine Heavens
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the 11th year of the Dinghe Era, the world was at peace. The citizens felt that the internal strife was over, but in reality, there was a bloodbath in the court. An Chang and Yang Zheng competed openly and covertly in the court, and two factions quickly formed, causing murder cases to frequently occur in Shuntian
City.
Jingcheng, which was extremely far away from Shuntian City, was still peaceful. With the existence of Longqi Temple, Jingcheng had always been a paradise.
Bai Qi laid under the Earth Spirit Tree and yawned. “Master has not come out for a long time. Is he going to break through again?”
Mu Lingluo knew about this, but she did not say it out loud. After all, breaking through was a sensitive matter. Many experts had been ambushed during their breakthrough. Although no one in the world could hurt Jiang Changsheng, it was not wrong to be careful.
“Perhaps. We are all breaking through, let alone the Dao Ancestor.”
Ye Xun shrugged his shoulders. He sat on the ground and circulated his energy with his hands. His robes fluttered as a might brewed.
The Sword God said, “Jiang Jian, Lin Haotian, and Ping’an are breaking through very quickly. We have to work hard.”
With the Mental Wander Realm, they could contact each other no matter how far away they were. So, they often communicated with Jiang Jian and Lin
Haotian.
Jiang Tianming sat in mid-air with strands of energy visible to the naked eye surrounding him. His eyes were closed, but the vertical eye between his brows was still open. He looked down at everyone in the courtyard and said, “Hurry up, don’t let me reach the Martial King Realm first. If not, you are not worthy to roam the world with me.”
Bai Qi unhappily said, “In any case, I don’t want to roam the world.”
Just as everyone was bickering, Chen Li walked into the courtyard.
Since he had nothing better to do, he would occasionally come to the courtyard and chat with everyone. In Jiang Changsheng’s opinion, he was just coming here to drink and brag.
“The court is going to be in chaos!”
Chen Li’s words attracted everyone’s attention.
Mu Lingluo asked in surprise, “The Mu Family sent me a letter saying that An Chang and Yang Zheng could not do anything to each other. Why would there be chaos?”
Even though she had not returned to the Mu Family for a long time, the Mu Family Head often wrote letters to her. After all, she was the link between the
Mu Family and the Dao Ancestor. Moreover, her strength had already
surpassed the top experts of the Mu Family. In this case, how could the Mu Family bear to alienate her?
Chen Li sat down and poured the wine he brought into his cup. “Yang Zheng can no longer stand playing in the dark with An Chang. The three great generals of the Yang Family are preparing to assassinate An Chang and his subordinates.”
Ji Wujun came over, sat in front of him, and said, “Does the Yang Family intend to rebel?”
The others also came over.
Chen Li drank a cup of wine and said, “I can’t explain it clearly, but when the Yang Family is in power, it will be difficult for Yang Zheng to control the Yang
Family. After all, the human heart is unpredictable.”
He paused for a moment and said, “The real chaos in the world is about to begin. The era of vassal kings seizing power is about to come. Such historical scenes are common. This is the cycle of the heavenly law.”
When Tai Wa, who was not far away, heard that, she began to chant the words ‘cycle of the heavenly law’. No one knew what she was thinking.
Ye Xun twisted his neck and said, “I’m starting to look forward to it. I haven’t fought with anyone in a long time. I wonder if the three Yang Family generals are enough for me to fight?”
Chen Li smiled and said, “The three generals of the Yang Family are talented and have obtained countless resources. However, compared to you, they are still too inexperienced.”
He sighed with emotion. The Dao Ancestor was still the best.
The people in this courtyard alone were enough to sweep through the world. With the Dao Ancestor around, the Jiang Family’s land would not be lost. At most, it would be chaotic for a while.
Everyone knew that Chen Li had spies in the imperial court, so they all asked about it. Chen Li did not hide anything and allowed them to listen with relish.
In the dim sky, thunderclouds surged. From time to time, meteorites from outer space would break through the sea of clouds and fall into the endless sea of magma with rolling flames. Tall mountains stood one after another, and strange huge birds hovered among them. From time to time, they would swoop down and capture fiery fish from the magma with their claws.
On one of the towering mountains, figures sat cross-legged on the ground, forming a large circle. One of them was the Nine Nether Devil King. There were twelve of them in total, and all of them had extraordinary auras.
All of a sudden, the twelve Devil Kings opened their eyes and looked ahead. They saw a ball of flames in the air in front of them, burning so fiercely that space was distorted.
The flames suddenly burned, forming a surging sea of fire that covered the mountain peak. The twelve Demon Kings looked up and the sea of fire condensed into a hideous and terrifying huge face that looked down at them.
“Greetings, Devil Venerable!”
The twelve Devil Kings shouted in unison and knelt down at the same time.
The Devil Venerable’s appearance resembled that of a human, but his exact appearance could not be seen. He looked down on the twelve Devil Kings and said, “The Genesis Stone Tablet has appeared, and the calamity of all races has begun. Gather all the devils in the world and prepare for the calamity! ”
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the Devil Kings did not change. It was clearly within their expectations.
A white-haired Devil King asked, “Devil Venerable, where is the Genesis Stone Tablet?”
The Devil Venerable answered, “Whoever becomes a member of the Imperial Race can obtain the Genesis Stone Tablet and create their own rules of the world and cultivation methods. There’s no need to think about where it is. Just let the devils develop in the direction of the Imperial Race. After that, we shall sweep across the myriad races in the Great Wilderness and occupy the Everlasting Holy Mountain to enjoy the baptism of heaven and earth.”
“The first target of the devils is the Nine Yin Race. Within a hundred years, we must devour the Nine Yin Race and seize their souls.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sea of fire dissipated and the Devil Venerable disappeared into the air.
The twelve Devil Kings looked at each other.
“The Nine Yin Race? They’tre not easy to deal with. The twelve strongest races below the Imperial Race are all powerful races that can suppress an area.
10 ,ooo years ago, we suffered at the hands of the Nine Yin Race.”
“I heard that the Twelve Races have started to become active. Among them, the Qiangliang Race was attracted by the returning humans and is currently preparing for a genocidal war. The humans are really unlucky. They were about to be exterminated the moment they returned.”
“The demons are also trying to break through to the Great Wilderness. That Demon Supreme is not simple. He might very well have reached the fifth layer of the Heaven and Earth Emperor realm.”
“I am more concerned about the Past Life Race. This race is not simple. They are wantonly resurrecting the deceased Emperor Realm experts.”
“Alas, the Martial Dao has existed for countless years and has experienced the change of countless members of the Imperial Race. Now that the Genesis Stone Tablet has reappeared, I’m afraid it will set off an unprecedented calamity.”
“There’s also the Outerworld Devil River. Recently, stones from the Outerworld
Devil River often fall into the Great Wilderness. This is not an ordinary matter.”
It was rumored that the Dao Ancestor was an immortal god that had descended to the mortal world. No one knew his background.
However, the Nine Nether Devil King did not think much of it for too long. He stood up and turned into dissipating black gas.
Under the moonlight, An Chang was training in a dim hall.
Boom!
Thunder roared from outside the hall, indicating an impending storm, making the atmosphere in the hall even more depressing.
With a bang, the door was smashed and three burly figures stood outside the door. The moonlight lengthened their shadows, which towered over An Chang.
An Chang closed his eyes and said, “The Marquis of Expedition mocked Xu Mang for being rash. I think the Marquis of Expedition is even more rash than Xu Mang.”
An ice-cold voice sounded. “An Chang, it won’t end well for you if you offend the Yang Family. Do you honestly think it’s useful to rope in those good-for-nothings? This is the world of martial arts. Be it in the martial arts world or the court, it all depends on whose fist is tougher!”
“Brother, why are you talking nonsense with him? I’ll smash him into meat paste with my spear so that he will not cause anymore trouble!”
“To think that the estate is not guarded tonight. Could it be that he predicted our arrival?”
The other two figures spoke as well. They were the three generals of the Yang Family.
An Chang opened his eyes and said with a contemptuous smile, “It seems like you’re not stupid. Yang Yuanhong, you’re right. Ultimately, it depends on whose fist is tougher. However, the three of you are only in the Two Grotto-Heaven Realm. Do you honestly think you’re invincible?”
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps sounded in the darkness of the hall.
When the three Yang Family generals heard that, they immediately took action. The Yang Family general on the left suddenly threw out a spear, and the cold light cut through the darkness of the hall.
Boom!
The silent Shuntian City was disturbed by an earth-shattering roar and countless people woke up from their dreams.
Within the palace.
The Emperor stood in front of his bedroom and looked at the flames outside the palace with an expressionless face.
The God of Thieves appeared beside him out of nowhere and asked in a low voice, “Your Majesty, should we stop this?”
The Emperor said, “There’s no need to interfere. I also want to see who is behind An Chang.”
The God of Thieves frowned and wanted to say something but hesitated.
Looking at the confident and strategic emperor, the God of Thieves felt that he was becoming more and more conceited. It was not a good thing that the Emperor’s heart was swelling after he pacified Xu Mang.
Although he was worried, the God of Thieves held himself back from speaking.
After all, he was not an emperor. He just had to work in peace!
In July, a piece of news shocked the public.
Marquis Yang Zheng dispatched the three great generals of the Yang Family to attack the Prime Minister’s mansion at night. The two sides fought a battle that affected half of Shuntian City. This battle lasted from late at night to early in the morning. Countless citizens were either killed or injured. The Emperor tried to send the White-robed Guards to stop them, but they were also killed by both sides.
There was no news about the complete story of that night. However, be it the Marquis of Expedition or An Chang, they were not punished by the Emperor. There was not even any movement from the Emperor. The whole incident was totally strange.
August.
Within the Purple Cloud Palace.
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes. Dao patterns appeared between his eyebrows, shining as if there was an eye hidden inside.
After all these years of practicing, his Eye of the Great Dao began to transform. He combined the Phantom God’s Eye with the Eye of the Great Dao and created a stronger Divine Power. This Divine Power was an illusion-based power. As long as one was illuminated by this Divine Power, they would lose themselves in endless illusions. He could also use this Divine Power to create an illusory world that could suppress souls.
The strength of this Divine Power was secondary. The main thing was that he was finally able to use the power of the laws of heaven and earth he had comprehended.
“Creating the Nine Heavens is not impossible.”
Jiang Changsheng muttered to himself. Soon after, he began to calculate the experts in different ranges.
Someone with a value of 300 million incense points began to appear in Great Jing. He looked at it carefully and soon captured the person who was valued at 300 million incense points.
This guy was a foreign race, not a human. He was currently staying with Xu Mang to teach him martial arts.
Jiang Changsheng had already seen through the power behind Xu Mang, and there was also an old friend involved. He did not take action because he wanted to see if the Jiang Family could face this hidden plot against them.
He then looked at the palace of Shuntian City.
The Emperor was lying on the bed, and his vitality was depleting. From the looks of it, he could only live for a few more years.
From foreign races, aristocratic families, the martial arts world, officials to imperial relatives, Great Jing was facing endless internal troubles right now. Too many people wanted the Emperor to die, but the Emperor still had yet to seek help from Jiang Changsheng. He was not a believer of Jiang Changsheng; he simply admired his strength and immortality. He had never truly prayed to him..
