“Father!”
Jiang Ziyu threw himself into Jiang Changsheng’s arms and called out obediently.
Even though he was only two years old, his mentality was quite mature, and his speech was similar to a six to seven-year-old child.
Jiang Changsheng hugged him and smiled.
Looking at the young Jiang Ziyu, he thought of Jiang Ziyu in his earlier years. After so many years, things had changed a lot.
In the past, due to the pressure of the Mahayana Dragon Tower, he could not face Jiang Ziyu with his true identity. Right now, he was the strongest person in Great Jing and might even be the number one in the world. He could make up for his previous regrets and the regrets in Jiang Ziyu’s childhood.
Mu Lingluo walked to his side and sat down. She asked, “When can Ziyu train?”
Jiang Ziyu shouted, “I want to train!”
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Then let’s start now.”
Jiang Ziyu’s talent was not simple. Even though he was far inferior to Jiang Tianming when he was first born, his comprehension and physique were incomparable.
Jiang Tianming had fused with the bloodlines of hundreds of ferocious beasts, and the integration process took ten whole years. However, all of those bloodlines combined were inferior to his immortal bloodline.
If his Immortal Dao were to change to the Martial Dao, his strength would be comparable to the intermediate level of the Heaven Origin Extreme Martial Realm. There was a high chance that he was two realms higher than the Martial Emperor Realm. As for the realm between the Martial Emperor Realm and the Heaven Origin Extreme Martial Realm, he did not know for the time being because he had yet to encounter such an existence.
Jiang Ziyu’s talent was extraordinary, so he did not have to worry that practicing too early would affect his physical development. Since he wanted to do it, Jiang Changsheng naturally would not stop him.
When Jiang Ziyu was strong enough, he would give up his position as a sage. Then, he would undergo a spectacular ascension ritual that would set off a trend of immortality.
Hearing Jiang Changsheng’s agreement, Mu Lingluo beamed with joy and began to look forward to Jiang Ziyu’s growth.
Mu Lingluo chatted with Jiang Changsheng for a while before she left with Jiang Ziyu.
Jiang Changsheng began to calculate the strongest experts in various different ranges. Other than him, the strongest experts in the system’s known range did not exceed 10 billion incense points. As he broke through, the system’s detection range of the Great Wilderness increased greatly, and so did his own spiritual will.
The most obvious thing was that Jiang Changsheng could already capture the aura of Jiang Jian, Ping’an, and Lin Haotian. The three of them had already settled down in that human tribe and even obtained a high status. They could be considered to have gained a foothold.
Everything was going well, but Jiang Changsheng was still under pressure.
He had read the memories of the red-robed figure and knew that Great
Wilderness Divine Lord would descend with the Outerworld Devil River. Although he was not afraid of Great Wilderness Divine Lord, what if there were other powerful existences in the lower realm?
It was hard to say!
He had to be prepared!
In fact, Jiang Changsheng wanted to have a good talk with Great Wilderness Divine Lord, but the other party wanted to eliminate him from the start without leaving any room for negotiation.
He could understand his view point. If he were him and he found that there was an anomaly in the Dao World, he would think of ways to eliminate it too. It was just a matter of perspective, but he had no other choice.
The path of cultivation was one where the strong preyed on the weak. Jiang Changsheng could not be at the mercy of others. What he could do was to try his best to accept those who were willing to follow him, not to kill all living beings in this world.
In the 5th year of the Immortal Era, at the beginning of March, the imperial court publicized the magical effects of Spirit Mountain. Anyone who obtained a scholarship in the imperial examination could go to Spirit Mountain to train. As for how long, it would depend on their results. Not only the imperial examination, but anyone who contributed to Heavenly Jing could also go to Spirit Mountain. The imperial court announced a series of regulations for the
criteria of the reward and a notice was posted all over Heavenly Jing.
When they heard that Spirit Mountain was created by the Dao Ancestor, no one doubted its effects. They were all filled with expectations.
Vassal kings, provincial ministers, and so on were all eligible to be the first batch to ascend the mountain. This was also a reward for them to adapt to the times. Mu Lingluo, Ji Wujun, and the others were also allowed to go up Spirit Mountain to train.
Spirit Mountain was 30,000 feet tall, and it was already the most majestic mountain in the Si Province. The first batch of people to go up the mountain numbered in the millions, and it was extremely lively. Many different groups were formed, and it even had its own regulations there. All of them wanted to compete to see who had the better talent and comprehension.
Spirit Mountain could increase one’s comprehension of martial arts, but it still depended on one’s talent.
By July, all sorts of news about Spirit Mountain had spread throughout Heavenly Jing. Most people could only stay for a month, but they had already experienced the benefits of Spirit Mountain. While they were there, they had also seen a lot of prodigies. As they went down the mountain and spread the news, everyone in Heavenly Jing was discussing Spirit Mountain.
Because of this, the name of the Crown Prince and Jiang Tianming had completely spread!
Jiang Tianming was born in the Grotto-Heaven Realm, which shattered everyone’s understanding.
The Crown Prince, Jiang Ziyu, trained in martial arts at the age of two. In less than a year, he had reached the Divine Realm, and his speed of breakthrough was even faster.
The talents of the two Jiang Family had shocked all the martial artists and surprised all the citizens.
The stronger the Crown Prince’s talent was, the more stable his imperial power would be in the future. At the very least, there would not be chaos under his reign.
Time flew by.
Three years passed.
In the 8th year of the Immortal Era, Spirit Mountain became the true holy land of Heavenly Jing. Moreover, it was a holy land that surpassed the martial arts sects. Even Longqi Temple, the True Dragon Temple, the Dragon
Transformation Mansion, and other large sects could not compare.
Of course, Jiang Changsheng did not forget about Longqi Temple. Every month, he would ask Qing’er to screen a portion of the disciples to go up the mountain. Concerning this, it was impossible for him to be absolutely fair, as he ought to take care of the people around him.
On this day, Chen Li came to the Purple Cloud Palace to report the general overview of Heavenly Jing’s current affairs.
Ever since Heavenly Jing was founded, most of the dynasty’s resources had been used to explore the Great Wilderness, causing the territory of Heavenly Jing to continuously expand.
After listening to Chen Li’s report, Jiang Changsheng selected six provincial ministers, which made Chen Li secretly admire him.
The Dao Ancestor seemed to not care about anything, but in fact, he could see through the entire world. It was really amazing.
The six provincial ministers Jiang Changsheng chose were talented in government affairs, and, most importantly, loyal believers of his. For Chen Li, it was fine as long as they were talented enough. There were too many officials in Heavenly Jing, and with the Dao Ancestor making the decision, who would dare to have any objections?
“Recently, many foreign races have come to visit. Even the Qiangliang Race has come. They claim to have surrendered to you and have something to report to you.”
Previously, the Qiangliang Race had always been a huge boulder in the hearts of the people of Heavenly Jing. Everyone in Heavenly Jing was worried that the Qiangliang Race would invade them. In their minds, there was no need to doubt the strength of the Qiangliang Race. However, they did not expect that the Qiangliang Race would be defeated by the Dao Ancestor!
Chen Li vaguely felt that it was not only the battle dozens of years ago. Perhaps the Dao Ancestor had found the Qiangliang Race again after that battle, but he did not dare to ask.
Jiang Changsheng did not open his eyes and said, “You can communicate with them directly. This can be considered as helping the Human Race establish a connection with the Qiangliang Race.”
Chen Li nodded. He knew that Jiang Changsheng would not always sit on the throne.
He continued to report the current affairs and only left after a long time.
After Chen Li left, Yang Zheng came again and talked about the internal situation in Heavenly Jing. Behind him were Venerable Bai and Xu Tianji.
At present, only these four people could meet Jiang Changsheng directly.
A few days later, Chen Li came to visit again. After so many years of development, the teleportation arrays in Heavenly Jing had been improving. The provinces in the Great Wilderness had also established such legendary formations, so they were able to come and go very quickly.
Chen Li’s expression was extremely ugly. He walked to Jiang Changsheng and bowed. “Your Majesty, the Qiangliang Race has discovered a piece of news. Right now, the Great Wilderness is spreading the news that the Human Race is a variant between heaven and earth. There are already powerful races preparing to attack us by using the calamity of all races as their reason. The
Qiangliang Race has also been threatened.”
Jiang Changsheng did not even open his eyes and said, “Then let them come. Heavenly Jing just needs to develop to its heart’s content without any scruples, but Heavenly Jing also has to give other races a chance to submit. Don’t kill them all.”
Chen Li forced a smile and said, “Heavenly Jing does not have the ability to kill them. There are many powerful races in the Great Wilderness, and the Qiangliang Race is not the strongest. Otherwise, they would not have only occupied the southern region. According to the Qiangliang Race, the races in the inner southern region are stronger than them, and there is also the central region of the Great Wilderness.”
“Have the Qiangliang Race sort out the information about the myriad races in the Great Wilderness and record it in the Heavenly Jing Treasury.”
“Understood!”
Chen Li responded. Seeing that Jiang Changsheng was not under any pressure, he could only give up.
In the mountains, Jiang Ye traveled alone. As he walked, he looked around as if he was looking for something.
A ball of black gas galloped from the mountain forest. He immediately stopped and revealed a happy expression.
The black gas condensed and manifested as the Nine Nether Devil King as he sized up Jiang Ye.
“Not bad. You didn’t neglect your training.”
The Nine Nether Devil King spoke with admiration.
Jiang Ye smiled and said, “Master, I’ve finally met you. Why are you suddenly willing to contact me?”
Even though he was very grateful to the Nine Nether Devil King, he had always been on guard, especially when his ancestor unified Heavenly Jing. After he began to believe in his ancestor, this vigilance began to deepen.
The existence of the Mental Wander Realm made the believers extremely united. It also deepened their faith in the Dao Ancestor. They even looked down on the existence of non-believers.
The Nine Nether Devil King stared at him and said, “The Dao Ancestor unifying the Human Race is indeed a blessing for the Human Race, but his actions have also brought about a calamity for the Human Race. Leave the Human Race and take your people with you.”
Jiang Ye’s expression changed drastically and he asked in surprise, “You want me to split up with my people? That’s impossible. Master, what exactly happened? Where did this calamity come from? Is it the Qiangliang Race?”
The Nine Nether Devil King sighed and said, “They are even more terrifying than the Qiangliang Race. Right now, the Great Wilderness is spreading the news that the Human Race is the key to the calamity of all races, implying that the Human Race will destroy the myriad races. Now, many powerful races have their eyes on the Human Race, including my race. On the account of our master-disciple relationship, I have specially come to find you to leave a fire for the Human Race.’
Jiang Ye frowned and said, “This is slander. Besides, my ancestor is with the
Human Race. Nothing can happen to us. Whoever dares to come will die.”
Ever since he entered the Mental Wander Realm, he had been influenced by what he saw and heard. He was full of confidence in his ancestor and believed that he was invincible.
The Nine Nether Devil King said, “Almost all the races that have established themselves in the Great Wilderness have Martial Emperors. There are dozens of Martial Emperors in powerful races like the Qiangliang Race, but there are stronger races above the Qiangliang Race. No matter how strong the Dao Ancestor is, do you honestly think he can deal with tens of thousands of Martial Emperors?”
Jiang Ye was silent.
He did not even know how powerful a Martial Emperor was, let alone how terrifying it was when tens of thousands of them attacked together.
The Nine Nether Devil King continued, “In today’s world, there are several races that have the potential to become the Imperial Race. Any race that can almost become the Imperial Race must have unimaginably powerful existences. Even Martial Emperors are not their opponent. Since ancient times, no race could withstand the attacks of the myriad races. Even the Imperial Race was defeated eventually. In fact, the previous Imperial Race was not in such a bad situation when they were competing for supremacy. At that time, there were far fewer races than today, and the challenges they faced could not be compared to today..”
