Hell.
The Head of Punishment was currently looking at the phantom of Hell that appeared on the table. He was observing Hell, which was his responsibility. The matter of reincarnation had been handed over to the Ten Yama Kings of Hell.
Usually, he only needed to pay attention to the development of Hell.
A figure quickly walked in. It was Jiang Xuannian.
After Jiang Xuannian died, he became a ghost servant. This was considered preferential treatment for an emperor of Great Jing, as he could choose whether he wanted to be a ghost servant or not. And, as Jiang Xuannian did not want to experience the suffering of the human world again, he stayed in Hell. Even though he did not save Great Jing from falling, his ability to govern was very strong. Soon, he was highly regarded by the Head of Punishment.
“Mansion Master, I’ve carefully investigated the previous abnormalities. Many newborns were born that year, and the most talented one was the son of the
Crown Prince of Heavenly Jing, Jiang Shan…”
Jiang Xuannian said with a strange expression.
When the Eternal Killing Star was reincarnated, it caused the rules of reincarnation in Hell to be in turmoil. This was because Heavenly Jing’s reincarnation cycle was already connected to Hell. When the Eternal Killing Star was reincarnated into Heavenly Jing, it naturally involved the rules of reincarnation in Hell. However, Hell had yet to investigate the Eternal Killing Star.
After the Head of Punishment heard that, he pondered and said, “This matter cannot be spread out. I will tell the Dao Ancestor.”
Jiang Xuannian nodded and reported something else before he left.
The Head of Punishment lowered his head and looked at the phantom on the table. No one knew what he was thinking.
Jiang Changsheng’s cultivation changed from comprehending the Dao to refining the Dao Fruit, which also made his consciousness less focused. In that state, he discovered that people often descended from the sky. Even though they were hidden, they could not escape his perception. However, as these people were very weak, he did not stop them. He guessed that it was Divine Lord Zi Huan who did it.
It seemed like Divine Lord Zi Huan had already suspected Chang Yaoling. That was normal. Chang Yaoling had changed too much. If it were him, he would also notice that something was amiss.
As long as Jiang Changsheng did not stop Divine Lord Zi Huan from recruiting experts from the Great Wilderness Martial World, she probably would not dare to attack him rashly.
Even so, Jiang Changsheng would regularly calculate the strongest experts around the Great Wilderness. He could not be careless about this.
Recently, his Dao Fruit had begun to connect with the Dao World, allowing him to absorb the power of the laws of heaven and earth and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Dao World. This gave him a new idea of the subsequent realms.
Spring passed and autumn came, and the four seasons changed.
Heavenly Jing was changing day by day. There were more and more Martial King Realm experts, and the Grotto-Heaven Realm was no longer as high and mighty as before. However, Great Paragons had yet to be born. The ones with the highest hopes of becoming Great Paragons were Guan Tongyou, Ji Wujun, Jiang Tianming, Jiang Ziyu, and Mu Lingluo. Their talent far exceeded others, and they could still continue to become stronger after reaching the Martial King Realm.
It had been 130 years since the start of the Immortal Era.
This year, Jiang Ziyu was 128 years old and Jiang Shan was 30 years old.
Jiang Tianming, Jiang Luo, Jiang Ye, Jiang Shan, and Jiang Xuanzhen began to make a name for themselves. The youngest, Jiang Shan, had also reached the Grotto-Heaven Realm. The five of them joined hands and helped Heavenly Jing break through ancient ruins, digging up a large number of rare treasures and ancient martial arts techniques for Heavenly Jing, and they also obtained a resounding reputation because of this.
The Five Dragons of Heavenly Jing!
In the eyes of the world, the Emperor was a True Dragon, and the descendants of a True Dragon were also naturally dragons.
Their strength had also greatly affected the Jiang Family. In Heavenly Jing, the Jiang Family had become the number one clan in the world, and that was without Jiang Changsheng.
It was summer.
Jiang Changsheng came to the imperial garden to rest. The palace maids immediately prepared good wine and delicacies. This time, he did not call for anyone else. Instead, he enjoyed the silence alone.
For some reason, he felt uneasy for the past two years. He felt that something was about to happen.
As he drank, he looked into the sky.
The spiral of the Celestial River was so far away, just like the end of the universe. It was dazzling and beautiful, but it also revealed unknown dangers.
Within the light at the top of the Celestial River was the Xuanhuang Great
World, while the spiral below the Celestial River was filled with many martial worlds and mortal worlds that had yet to give birth to martial arts. According to Chang Yaoling, the Xuanhuang Great World was extremely vast, even larger than the void below. Jiang Changsheng had yet to attempt to go to the Xuanhuang Great World as he was afraid that if he were to wander away, he would attract the attention of unimaginable experts.
Jiang Changsheng had some fantasies about the Xuanhuang Great World, but he did not dare to come into contact with it for the time being.
Jiang Changsheng raised his eyebrows and suddenly saw strands of light emerging from the strong light at the top of the Celestial River. One of the strands of light was spreading towards the Great Wilderness Martial World.
Something was wrong!
Jiang Changsheng thought for a moment before he sent a voice transmission to Chang Yaoling to summon her.
Ever since she became a believer, Chang Yaoling had not left Jingcheng and acted as the link between Jiang Changsheng and Divine Lord Zi Huan.
Very soon, Chang Yaoling arrived.
“Dao Ancestor, Divine Lord Zi Huan has wanted to see you recently, but it doesn’t seem to be a big deal. She said to contact her when she is free,” Chang Yaoling was the first to speak.
Jiang Changsheng nodded. Chang Yaoling immediately took out the jade stone and began to contact Divine Lord Zi Huan.
Jiang Changsheng had always been curious about this jade stone. This jade stone contained rules of cause and effect, space, time, and so on. All the rules were very harmonious. Moreover, it was not artificially made, but an innate object.
He wondered if he should think of a way to trade a batch of this jade with Divine Lord Zi Huan and hand it over to Jiang Ziyu. However, he did not have anything to trade with Divine Lord Zi Huan for the time being. Even if he had something to trade with her, it would easily arouse his fear.
The jade stone lit up and the face of Divine Lord Zi Huan appeared.
As soon as he saw Jiang Changsheng, Divine Lord Zi Huan sighed and paved a layer of gloom for the next conversation.
“The Great Wilderness Martial World is in trouble, but it is also an opportunity,” Divine Lord Zi Huan said worriedly.
Jiang Changsheng asked, “Divine Lord, please be frank. If the Great Wilderness
Martial World is in trouble, Heavenly Jing will not stand by and do nothing.”
Divine Lord Zi Huan said, “The three thousand worlds is only a general term. In fact, there are far more than three thousand martial worlds. However, at every stage, the Divine Martial Realm will clean up those martial worlds that have reached a bottleneck or that the Celestial River can’t save. This time, the Divine Martial Realm gave an order to start a competition between these martial worlds. They will use the power of the Celestial River to open up these martial worlds and let their luck compete with each other. A thousand years later, there will only be three martial worlds left. They will then advance to become part of the three thousand worlds and integrate into the Xuanhuang Great World. And this is not good news, as the Great Wilderness Martial World is also selected.”
“This kind of competition is to facilitate the growth of a stronger martial world and martial arts power. The winner can move to the Xuanhuang Great World. At that time, the Heavenly Wall of the martial worlds will be removed. As long as your physique is strong enough, you can leave the martial world and enter the Xuanhuang Great World without needing to ascend.”
Hearing this, Jiang Changsheng immediately smelled a conspiracy.
Chang Yaoling said in surprise, “The Great Wilderness Martial World should not fall into those categories. Besides, the Great Wilderness Martial World has just received the blessing of the Celestial River. Such a martial world should not enter a cruel battle of luck.”
Jiang Changsheng had previously learned that the method of luck for the
Human Race came from the Upper Realm. The reason why only the Human Race knew it was because this was a gift from the Divine Martial Realm, establishing the status of the Human Race as supreme in all worlds.
However, the Great Wilderness Divine Lord had malicious intentions and limited the lifespan of the emperors of the Luck Dynasties. His goal was to plunge Luck Dynasties into endless power struggles.
Divine Lord Zi Huan sighed and said, “I am also puzzled about this, but the attitude of the higher-ups is very unyielding. Perhaps it has something to do with the backing of the Great Wilderness Divine Lord.”
Jiang Changsheng asked, “After the martial world is opened up, can it only be transported through the power of the Celestial River?”
“That’s right. This is a battle between the martial worlds. Even though it’s troublesome, it should not be a problem with your strength.”
Divine Lord Zi Huan answered. Their eyes met and their expressions were calm.
Jiang Changsheng nodded and said, “I understand. I will inform the myriad races as soon as possible so that they can make preparations.”
Divine Lord Zi Huan nodded and said, “This is also an opportunity. Once a martial world enters the Xuanhuang Great World, the martial arts sects and aristocratic families can jump out of the restrictions of the martial world. Some aristocratic families and clans of the Eternal Giants rose like this. Jiang Changsheng asked some more questions, and Divine Lord Zi Huan answered them one by one.
After the jade stone cut off the connection, Chang Yaoling could not help but ask, “Could it be that she is targeting you?”
Jiang Changsheng shook his head and said, “I don’t think so. She knows that I can kill experts in the Heavenly Origin Extreme Martial Realm and open up the martial world. It’s not difficult for her to threaten me. Of course, there’s another possibility. She hopes that the Great Wilderness Martial World can win and integrate with the Xuanhuang Great World.”
Once the Great Wilderness Martial World entered the Xuanhuang Great World, without the restriction of the Heavenly Wall, Divine Lord Zi Huan would be able to control the martial world without any obstruction. At that time, Jiang Changsheng would be in even more danger.
Fortunately, there was still enough time. It would start only after a thousand years!
According to Divine Lord Zi Huan, the rules of the competition were mainly based on the luck of the Human Race. This rule could force the myriad races to temporarily listen to the arrangements of the Human Race. In fact, with the exception of the Great Wilderness Martial World, the other martial worlds were dominated by the Human Race. Within a thousand years, the experts in the martial worlds could not ascend or descend. Even if they displayed power that surpassed the martial world, they would not be expelled by the power of heaven and earth. After a thousand years, only three martial worlds would not be destroyed by the Divine Martial Realm.
The Divine Martial Realm would use the power of the Heavenly Punishment to directly destroy the martial worlds that lost!
Even though he did not know what the power of the Heavenly Punishment was, it could not be underestimated since it could directly destroy a martial world.
Chang Yaoling pondered for a moment and said, “Since you are unwilling to ascend, if I were Divine Lord Zi Huan, I would also be puzzled and fearful of the reason why you are staying here. It is indeed possible to use this as a motive to throw the Great Wilderness Martial World into the competition.”
The two of them chatted for a while before Chang Yaoling left.
Jiang Changsheng continued to drink. For some reason, he thought of Jiang
Shan.
He had a feeling that this matter had something to do with Jiang Shan. The competition in the martial world would only bring about mass killing. Moreover, Jiang Shan was an Eternal Killing Star. Jiang Shan had only reincarnated for a few years before the Great Wilderness Martial World was thrown into this mess. Divine Lord Zi Huan should only be pushing the boat along with the current. As for why she did not reveal Jiang Changsheng’s existence to the Divine Martial Realm, it was understandable. Once the truth about the Great Wilderness Divine Lord was exposed, Divine Lord Zi Huan would also be in trouble. The clans and the Divine Martial Realm were not absolutely united.
Jiang Changsheng decided to leave this matter to Jiang Ziyu while he continued to cultivate.
He did not care about letting the Great Wilderness Martial World win because it was too dangerous.
Unless he could reach a realm where he was not afraid of the Divine Martial Realm within a thousand years. But from the looks of it, he was not absolutely confident. He did not even know how powerful the Divine Martial Realm was.
That day, he told Jiang Ziyu about this and asked him to make preparations.
When Jiang Ziyu heard that, he did not panic. Instead, he became excited.
“A war between humans from every world might not necessarily be a massacre, but it can also be an annexation. For the development of Heavenly Jing, this is indeed an opportunity.” Jiang Ziyu clenched his fists and suppressed his excitement.
The martial world that participated in the competition would not be too strong. Perhaps the overall strength of the Great Wilderness that was specially selected would be ranked at the forefront in terms of strength, or even one of the strongest. However, even though the Great Wilderness was strong, the Human Race was weak.
The next morning, Jiang Ziyu convened a morning court meeting and revealed the news, causing an uproar among the officials..
