Chapter 363: Wanting to Fight the Ocean, Ancient Devil Race

Jiang Changsheng brought the frozen Taishi Changce in front of him and cast the Eye of the Great Dao.
As expected, after the breakthrough, Taishi Changce’s memories were no
longer as large and complicated in front of his spiritual will. His speed of
reading memories had also far exceeded the past.
He could give it a try!
What Jiang Changsheng wanted to do was not to completely change Taishi Changce’s memory. He just wanted to add himself to his memory, pierce through his life, and make himself the most important person to him.
Days passed.
Half a year later.
The gate of the Purple Cloud Palace opened, startling Bai Qi who was sleeping at the gate. She turned around and was pleasantly surprised to see the gate open. Seeing this, she hastily ran in.
As soon as she entered the hall, she saw a person sitting in front of Jiang Changsheng. It was Taishi Changce.
“You may leave.”
Taishi Changce bowed respectfully before he stood up and left.
Bai Qi looked at him oddly, but she was not surprised. This fellow was still alive. She had expected this day to come. After Taishi Changce left the Purple Cloud Palace, she went to Jiang Changsheng and asked him excitedly.
She wanted to know how strong Jiang Changsheng was right now. The bell that rang half a year ago had alarmed the entire Heavenly Court, making her extremely curious.
Naturally, Jiang Changsheng would not tell her. Instead, he said, “Instead of caring about me, why don’t you care about yourself? I have given you the talent to surpass the mortal realm, but you did not give me any surprises. Do you want me to protect you for the rest of your life?”
Bai Qi wailed. “How can I think like that? I want to serve you for the rest of my life. In my heart, no one can surpass you. You will always be ahead of us, and you will never need our protection. Our job is to do our tasks and benefit the common people so that all beings will remember your contributions…” Jiang Changsheng’s expression did not change as he was shocked.
This guy had guessed the real purpose of establishing the Heavenly Court?
Bai Qi’s endless flattery made Jiang Changsheng suppress his suspicions. This fellow should not have guessed it. Even if she did, she would have benefited from it and not reveal it.
Even though Bai Qi was ostentatious and annoying in front of him, she was still very tight-lipped to outsiders. It was impossible for others to learn about Jiang Changsheng’s situation from her. Furthermore, she would stay by his side most of the time.
After listening for a while, Jiang Changsheng could no longer listen to any more praises. He told Bai Qi to get lost and train. Bai Qi immediately left.
“I will give you three spots for the Dragon Transformation Pond. As for who you choose, it will depend on you, but you cannot choose from the Heavenly
Court.’
Jiang Changsheng thought of something and glanced at Bai Qi.
When Bai Qi heard that, she was pleasantly surprised. That was a good thing. How many benefits could she reap from the three spots?
“Any conditions?”
“Choose from the Mental Wander Realm.
“Alright!”
Bai Qi answered in a good mood. Then, she laid down and prepared to enter the Mental Wander Realm.
Jiang Changsheng began to cultivate. He had just broken through, so he had to familiarize himself with the eleventh level of the Dao Technique. Moreover, there was still time before the thousand-year period. If he could break through another level before then, he would have a higher chance of escaping to the void with the Great Wilderness Martial World.
It was now the 112th year of the Dingtian Era, and it had been 262 years since
Heavenly Jing was founded. The dynasty was rich and the people were strong. Finally, Jiang Ziyu could no longer restrain his ambition and started his plan to expand his empire.
He did not advance towards the Great Wilderness. Instead, he engulfed the endless ocean!
First, he would subdue the Human Race, and then he would fight against the myriad races!
In the imperial study.
Jiang Ziyu was meeting with three envoys from Guangtian when he said, “The Guangtian Sovereign Dynasty has been destroyed and its people have been displaced. All I can do is to seek justice for you. Just you wait. Sooner or later, Heavenly Jing will fight against the Luo Hong Sovereign Dynasty.”
The three envoys felt terrible when they heard that.
Before they left their home, they were still looking forward to their rise to become a Sacred Dynasty. Now, before they even returned, they heard that the Guangtian Sovereign Dynasty had been destroyed…
The leader gritted his teeth and asked, “Can you really avenge us? If the Luo
Hong Sovereign Dynasty surrenders…”
Jiang Ziyu interrupted him. “That won’t happen. The Emperor of the Luo Hong Sovereign Dynasty comes from the outer world. He will not surrender.”
Outer world?
The three envoys were stunned. This was the first time they had heard of this.
After being in Heavenly Jing for so many years, they had heard about the Martial World Competition, but they never expected that the powerful force that defeated Guangtian was created by someone from the outer world.
“We still need your help to expand south. Are you willing to become an official in the court?” Jiang Ziyu asked with a straight face.
The three envoys immediately knelt down and thanked the Emperor’s kindness.
They had long wanted to join Heavenly Jing, but they were afraid of letting down Guangtian, so they waited for Jiang Ziyu to take the initiative to recruit
them.
Heavenly Jing had expanded greatly. Be it martial arts, economics, standard of living, politics, and so on, it was not something Guangtian could compare to. Most importantly, Heavenly Jing had the protection of immortal gods. If they worked in Heavenly Jing, they would have the chance to ascend and become immortal.
Jiang Ziyu waved his hand and motioned for them to leave.
After the three of them left, Jiang Ziyu looked at a small cauldron on the table. The Heaven and Earth Treasure Toad was locked in the cauldron, and he asked softly, “Will Heavenly Jing be able to defeat the Luo Hong Sovereign Dynasty in the endless ocean?”
The Heaven and Earth Treasure Toad answered with a dull voice.
Jiang Ziyu shook his head and laughed. “As expected, your brain is damaged. I can only use you for entertainment.”
This item was passed down from the Great Jing Dynasty and had gone through several eras of emperors. Throughout history, it had also left behind a note in the history books stating that that the previous emperors loved toads so much that it would never leave their hands.
Jiang Ziyu was only doubtful about the Heaven and Earth Treasure Toad. There were many things that the Heaven and Earth Treasure Toad could not figure out. He concluded that the Heaven and Earth Treasure Toad could not predict his father. If those answers did not factor in his father and the Heavenly Court, it might come true.
He stood up and walked to the wall. He put down a painting on the wall. On it was a rough drawing of the endless ocean. He had asked the immortals in the sky to help him draw it.
Looking at the map of the endless ocean, Jiang Ziyu was overwhelmed with emotions.
For some reason, the thought of unifying the endless ocean made his blood surge.
Perhaps it was because of his brother that he had never seen before.
Jing Taizong’s last wish was to unify the internal and external regions!
“Get the Crown Prince here.”
Jiang Ziyu called out, and a voice sounded outside the imperial study. “Yes!” The Crown Prince was born between him and the Empress. When he was born, he even alerted his father in his dream, and the latter even said that he would bestow this child with the name Jiang Xiu.
Wasn’t Jiang Xiu Jing Renzong, Jing Taizong’s son?
Even though Jiang Ziyu was puzzled, he still did as he was told. He felt that there was a deeper meaning behind his father asking him and his son to name themselves after Taizong and Renzong.
On the vast land, at the end of the plain, mountains formed a wall of heaven and earth that divided the earth into two.
The Nine Nether Devil King stood on the cliff and looked at the magnificent scenery. His black robe fluttered in the wind, but he remained unmoved.
After a long time.
A white light descended from the sea of clouds and rapidly flew over. The Nine
Nether Devil King looked up and saw Jiang Ye in the silver armor of a Heavenly General flying over. He held a spear with a white-haired monkey crouched on his shoulder. It was the White Spirit Sky Monkey.
Jiang Ye came by and stopped in front of the cliff. He smiled and cupped his fists. “Long time no see, Master.”
The Nine Nether Devil King clicked his tongue in wonder. “Is this an immortal technique?”
Jiang Ye smiled and said, “How can it be considered an immortal technique? It’s merely a martial treasure of the Heavenly Court. Master, how have you been all these years? I heard that the Devil Race and the Nine Yin Race have been fighting for hundreds of years.”
The Nine Nether Devil King shook his head and said, “I am not fine, but things are about to turn around soon.”
Jiang Ye nodded and did not ask further. He was vigilant and wondered why the Nine Nether Devil King was looking for him.
Even though he was indebted to the Nine Nether Devil King, his identity was special, so he had to be careful.
“I’m looking for you today because I hope you can help me meet the Celestial Emperor,” the Nine Nether Devil King said with a serious expression. His expression was somewhat complicated.
Back then, he had predicted that the Human Race would perish and wanted to take Jiang Ye away. Unexpectedly, he was slapped in the face. Heavenly Jing had become the most powerful force in the Great Wilderness, and no race dared to provoke it.
Jiang Ye frowned and asked, “May I know why you are looking for His Majesty?”
He was Jiang Changsheng’s descendant, but there was a huge gap in seniority between them. He usually regarded himself as a normal Heavenly Official.
The Nine Nether Devil King said, “This matter concerns the outer world, and a crisis is brewing there. My race wishes to join hands with the Heavenly Court, and we only wish to kill our way out together.”
Outer world…
Jiang Ye hesitated. Looking at the Nine Nether Devil King, he found it hard to refuse.
“Bring him here.”
A voice suddenly sounded in his heart, making him turn pale with fright.
This voice was…
The Dao Ancestor!
The Dao Ancestor was looking at them?
Jiang Ye could not help but feel uneasy, but he still said, “His Majesty has agreed. Please come with me.”
He agreed?
The Nine Nether Devil King was surprised. He did not hear the Celestial Emperor’s voice. He could only marvel at his remarkable abilities and follow Jiang Ye into the sky.
Along the way, the master and disciple exchanged pleasantries with each other. Riding on Jiang Ye’s cloud, they arrived at the First Heaven not long after and saw the North-Heaven Gate.
Taishi Changce was chatting with Hei Hou at the North-Heaven Gate. Hei Hou was extremely respectful and tried his best to please him. The other Heavenly Soldiers listened quietly as they bragged about the wonders of the Xuanhuang Great World.
The Nine Nether Devil King glanced over and met Taishi Changce’s eyes.
In an instant, the Nine Nether Devil King felt as if he had been seen through and his heart pounded.
“Where did this person come from… Even if the Devil Venerable came personally, he could not have brought me such pressure…”
The Nine Nether Devil King was shocked. Just a glance from Taishi Changce made him feel as if he was facing death. He could not even muster the slightest resistance.
He quickly retracted his gaze, not daring to look.
The two of them quickly flew past the North-Heaven Gate and headed towards the Ninth Heaven.
Hei Hou noticed Taishi Changce’s gaze and asked with a smile, “Young Master, how did that guy attract your attention?”
Taishi Changce casually said, “It’s nothing. I just didn’t expect there to be a descendant of the ancient devils in the Lower Realm. However, there’s the Heavenly Court, the Eternal Killing Star, and the descendants of the Ye Clan here. So what if there are descendants of the ancient devils?”
Hei Hou nodded and continued to ask, “Continue with the story about Ye
Shenkong. What happened after he gave you pointers?”
Taishi Changce retracted his gaze and fell into endless reminiscence. He sighed and said, “After that, he went to the Sky Ruins alone and started on the path of a prodigy that shocked the ages. He made the various clans in the Xuanhuang Great World realize that prodigies could run wild for an entire lifetime, and they did not need to wait for too long…
On the other side.
The Nine Nether Devil King restrained his fear and did not ask Jiang Ye. He was attracted by the scenery along the way.
There were immortal gods in every layer of heaven, and the higher they went, the fewer there were.
When he arrived at the Second Heaven, the Nine Nether Devil King saw a familiar figure. It was Di Chang, a descendant of the Imperial Race of the Great Wilderness.
Di Chang was training in the clouds and did not open his eves to look at him.
Before the Nine Nether Devil King could come back to his senses, Jiang Ye stopped and said, “You can talk here.”
Hearing this, the Nine Nether Devil King woke up with a start. He looked up at the towering palace in front of him and an unimaginable sense of pressure assaulted his face.
Purple Cloud Palace!
