Chapter 368: Dragon Kings of the Ocean, Scared Palace Master
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After breaking through the eleventh level of the Dao Technique, Jiang Changsheng did not become arrogant and continued to cultivate in peace. As for the Heavenly Court and Heavenly Jing, they were under his control, so he did not have to worry. He had very few opportunities to take action.
Jiang Changsheng’s clone traveled the Great Wilderness with the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror. He had encountered some Martial Emperors, but they could no longer give him any survival rewards. In other words, even if he stood there and let Martial Emperors hit him, they could not kill him.
As Jiang Changsheng became stronger and stronger, his clone’s ability to cast the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror became faster and faster. At this rate, before the thousand-year period arrived, Jiang Changsheng would be able to control the entire Great Wilderness Martial World and the rules of heaven and earth, allowing the Great Wilderness Martial World to break away from the control of the Divine Martial Realm.
Years passed by quickly.
The average strength of the Heavenly Soldiers of the Heavenly Court had been increasing, and so had Heavenly Jing. Since the Great Wilderness Martial World had been baptized by the Celestial River, the martial arts spiritual energy far exceeded the past. Furthermore, the Heavenly Court and Heavenly Jing had been blessed by Jiang Changsheng’s luck, so their training speed had surpassed the myriad races of the Great Wilderness.
Taishi Changce and Hei Hou would teach the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly
Generals whenever they were free. Even though they were still Heavenly
Soldiers, they had already obtained the respect of the immortal gods,
especially Taishi Changce. He was extremely arrogant in the face of enemies
and strangers, but in the face of his own people, he was very gentle. This made
Hei Hou, Jiang Tianming and Jiang Shan sigh at the complexity of human
nature.
They did not question the changes in Taishi Changce because the Dao Ancestor was a reincarnation of his previous self and the Ancestor of All Immortals. It was normal for him to mentor Taishi Changce when he was young. Otherwise, why would the Dao Ancestor not kill him?
In the blink of an eye, it was the 136th year of the Dingtian Era.
As of today, the number of Mountain Gods and Land Gods in the Heavenly Court had exceeded tens of thousands, and there were more and more places that required protection. Mountain Gods and Land Gods were also divided into ranks. With the exception of the main Mountain God and the main Land God who enjoyed the status as a legitimate god on the Investiture of the Gods, everyone else had only obtained the luck of the Investiture of the Gods. In order to better manage their territory, these Mountain Gods and Land Gods would also take in their own subordinates, regardless of race. Because of this, the myriad race in the Great Wilderness no longer questioned the Heavenly Court. Instead, they all wanted to join the Heavenly Court and be ranked among the immortals.
Among the mountains, huge warriors of the Qiangliang Race were waiting. The leader of the Qiangliang Race was 10,000-feet-tall. Although he was crouching in the forest, he was still taller than the nearby mountains.
A figure descended from the sky and flew over. It was Chen Li.
When he saw Chen Li, the leader of the Qiangliang Race hurriedly stood up, and so did the other warriors of the Qiangliang Race.
Chen Li looked down at them and said, “I’ve discussed it with His Majesty. For the time being, the Qiangliang Race can only have one legitimate god and 100 Heavenly Soldiers. After all, the Qiangliang Race has yet to make any achievements.”
When he heard that, the Qiangliang Race’s leader was pleasantly surprised and hastily said, “Thank you, Heavenly Lord. Thank you, Your Majesty Celestial Emperor. We are satisfied with our quota. The Qiangliang Race will certainly work hard to make a name for themselves. All of us will serve the Heavenly Court!”
Chen Li nodded and said, “When you’ve chosen your ascendant, take them to the Heavenly Court. I have other things to do, so I’ll take my leave first.”
With that said, he left on a cloud. The leader of the Qiangliang Tribe hastily bowed to his departing back.
Even though Chen Li was not as strong as him, he did not feel that it was inappropriate. Instead, he was very grateful to Chen Li because he had inquired around and found that the Heavenly Court had yet to specially open a quota for the myriad races.
“Finally, I can enter the Heavenly Court.”
“Leader, if you want to choose, choose the strongest. In any case, we can take care of the Qiangliang Race in the sky.”
“That’s right. We can’t be looked down on by the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals since we’ve just entered the Heavenly Court.”
“The Heavenly Soldiers of the Human Race are not strong enough. We have to be stronger than them. Only in this way can we obtain the favor of the Dao Ancestor.”
“To have the position of a legitimate god is enough to show how highly the
Celestial Emperor values us. His promise to us back then was not a lie.”
“Speaking of which, we were the ones who took the initiative to invade the Human Race. It’s all that damn God of Heaven and Earth’s fault for confusing us!”
The warriors of the Qiangliang Race discussed among themselves. They were all very happy, as the 100 Heavenly Soldier quota would definitely include them.
In the next few years, the news of the Heavenly Court recruiting Heavenly Soldiers from the myriad races spread, shocking the myriad races.
However, not all races could meet Chen Li. Therefore, they began to visit the four heaven gates.
One day.
Bai Qi left the Purple Cloud Palace and attracted three demon beasts from the South-Heaven Gate. All three of them were Great Paragons. Jiang Changsheng walked out of the Purple Cloud Palace and released three pools for the three demon beasts to enter.
Every hundred years, the Dragon Transformation Pond would accumulate a pool of spirit water that could be used for dragon transformation. Therefore, Jiang Changsheng would give away some spirit water.
The three demon beasts bowed respectfully to Jiang Changsheng and entered the pools.
After Jiang Changsheng gave his instructions, he returned to the Purple Cloud Palace with Bai Qi following closely behind.
“Master, what should we do after they transform into dragons?” Bai Qi asked.
Jiang Changsheng sat down and answered, “Unify the sea areas of the endless ocean, establish order, and build the Dragon Palace. They can be called Dragon Kings, and their task is to protect the continents and islands.”
Bai Qi nodded, her eyes shining. If that was the case, then the three Dragon Kings would have great power and she would be able to obtain even more benefits.
The three demon beasts she chose were all her lackeys. Even though their realms were higher than her, they were obedient.
Jiang Changsheng gave her the right to choose because he wanted her to develop her own team. As the Heavenly Court became stronger, factions would definitely emerge. Even though he was not worried about being betrayed, he did not wish for the Heavenly Court to be in internal strife. Therefore, the balance of power was very important.
“Since they have transformed into a dragon, they should change their names. Master, why don’t you name them?” Bai Qi eagerly asked.
“Their surname will be Ao, and their given name will be up to you.”
Bai Qi was curious, and the word ‘Ao’ surfaced in her mind. This was done by Jiang Changsheng’s spiritual will. After all, there were too many identical words, so he did this to prevent her from picking the wrong one.
On the vast and boundless prairie, scraps of grass rolled up to the sky, dust flew up, and the earth trembled incessantly. Looking in the direction of the earthquake, one could see the Flame Lord meditating in mid-air. The ground below had collapsed, and the magma was surging. Scorching air drilled into his body like a tornado.
As the Flame Lord breathed, flames spewed out from his mouth and nose. His long hair swayed like flames, and the flames were vaguely visible
“As expected of the Yan Clan’s Earth Primordial Spirit Technique. Snatching the fortune of heaven and earth. Kid, you sure know how to pick the right time.”
A sneer sounded, startling the Flame Lord. He turned around and saw Palace Master Ji floating a thousand feet away, staring at him with a spurious smile.
The Flame Lord voluntarily stood up and bowed. “Greetings, Palace Master. Why are you here?”
Palace Master Ji said, “Naturally, I have something to do. I heard that the descendants of the Ye Clan are also in the Lower Realm. Do you know which world they are in?”
The Flame Lord replied, “They should be in the Great Wilderness Martial
World. Does the Palace Master want to deal with them?”
Palace Master Ji said indifferently, “They are just a worm. Naturally, I am not here to deal with them.”
He sized up the Flame Lord with a cold glint in his eyes.
The Flame Lord was secretly vigilant and said, “Does the Palace Master have any instructions?”
Palace Master Ji did not answer. Instead, he stared straight at him and the atmosphere between the two of them became tense.
After a long time.
Palace Master Ji broke the silence and smiled. “Not bad. The younger generation will surpass the older. When this matter is over, you can come and visit me. I will reward you with an opportunity.”
Hearing this, the Flame Lord was pleasantly surprised and hastily thanked him.
After saying that, Palace Master Ji disappeared into the air. The Flame Lord breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again to continue absorbing the earth vein fire.
“Why did the Palace Master come to the Lower Realm? Did something happen to the Ye Clan?”
The Flame Lord’s eyes flickered as he was puzzled.
The Taishi Clan, the Ye Clan, and the Eternal Killing Star had all come to
participate in the Martial World Competition, but there was no movement. It
was obvious that something was amiss.
The Flame Lord could not understand what was going on, but he was glad that he didn’t involve himself in this matter. Fortunately, he did not act rashly and instead strengthened himself first.
He slowly closed his eyes and continued to train.
Time passed.
Ye Zhan had been suppressed for 30 years. After 30 years, fewer and fewer people came to revile him, but more of them came out of curiosity. The name Tianjian Mountain had also spread throughout the endless ocean, becoming the signature place of the Luo Hong Sovereign Dynasty. Mountain God Lu Zhou still had feelings for the Luo Hong Sovereign Dynasty. Therefore, he took this opportunity to make money. Even if people wanted to visit Tianjian Mountain, they had to pay a fee. All the money he earned from this venture was invested in the people without going through the hands of the imperial court, which made the people even more grateful to him.
Lu Zhou’s good deeds had also brought a better reputation and more prestige to the Heavenly Court.
Inside the cave.
Ye Zhan was training, and the soul body of the Ye Clan’s ancestor floated by his side.
“Ancestor, even though the Nirvana Ultimate Creation Technique is powerful, the price is too high. Is there any way to resolve it?”
Ye Zhan forced a smile. Back then, his strength had skyrocketed after undergoing four nirvanas. However, thirty years had passed and there was still a hidden illness in his body that made him suffer unspeakably.
The Ye Clan’s old ancestor stroked his beard and said with a smile, “In the Xuanhuang Great World, since ancient times, ultimate techniques with the word ‘creation’ are not simple. The word ‘creation’ has the meaning of the original rules of heaven and earth. The Nirvana Ultimate Creation Technique is famous throughout history. Naturally, it is not as simple as you see. You are only at the beginner level. When you truly grasp it, these side effects will disappear.”
When Ye Zhan heard that, he immediately felt much more at ease. It was good as long as the price could be reduced.
However, the Nirvana Ultimate Creation Technique was not that easy to train. At present, he had encountered a bottleneck.
Just as the Ye Clan’s ancestor was about to speak, he suddenly sensed something and immediately entered Ye Zhan’s body. Ye Zhan was suspicious and could not help but look at the cave entrance.
After a while, footsteps could be heard.
Palace Master Ji slowly walked to the entrance of the cave and stared at Ye Zhan like an eagle.
Their eyes met. Ye Zhan frowned and asked, “Who are you?”
He could sense that the other party was not simple and was definitely not from the Lower Realm.
Palace Master Ji sized him up and muttered to himself, “There’s still a remnant aura of nirvana. Even though it’s weak, it does exist. It’s unbelievable. A brat in the Heavenly Origin Extreme Martial Realm can refine this divine technique.
Back then, Ye Shenkong was only so-so.”
Hearing the other party’s words, Ye Zhan became even more nervous.
“The other party is a Palace Master. I met him when I followed Shenkong. Even though he was defeated by Shen Kong, his strength is not something you can defeat.’
The voice of the Ye Clan’s ancestor sounded in Ye Zhan’s mind with a solemn tone.
Ye Zhan’s expression instantly turned ugly. He knew what the Palace Master meant.
Palace Master Ji slowly revealed a smile that was filled with chill. He stared at
Ye Zhan and said with a smile, “Kid, come with me!”
He stepped forward, wanting to force his way into the cave.
Boom!
In the next moment, he suddenly took a step back and revealed a stunned expression.
Ye Zhan’s expression became strange.
Palace Master Ji immediately waved his palm towards the entrance of the cave and struck towards the invisible restriction. Another loud bang sounded and the mountain trembled, but it did not collapse. The restriction at the entrance did not shatter and Palace Master Ji was once again forced to take two steps back.
“How is this possible…’
