“What’s his background? He’s clearly a member of the Jiang Clan, but he knows nothing about them. Furthermore, he even asked some strange questions…” Jiang Xun stared at Jiang Changsheng and felt increasingly puzzled.
Jiang Changsheng asked other questions, but all of them were about his era. Jiang Xun knew nothing about them.
Evidently, Jiang Changsheng was too far away from the current timeline. It was so far away that history and legends had been cut off.
With the Eye of the Great Dao and the surname Jiang, Jiang Changsheng was sure that the Jiang Clan were his descendants.
After understanding Jiang Xun and the Jiang Clan, Jiang Changsheng was in a dilemma.
What should he do next to leave the illusion?
During the last tribulation, he followed the Dao seekers to listen to the Dao.
After the sermon ended, he walked out of the dojo and ended the illusion.
What about this time?
Right now, they only met Jiang Xun. Could it be that he needed to help Jiang Xun escape from his predicament?
Jiang Changsheng stood up and said, “Let’s go and find the Golden Crows.”
Jiang Xun widened his eyes and asked in shock, “Why are you looking for the Golden Crows?”
Jiang Changsheng looked into the distance and said, “Aren’t you looking for the Golden Crows? I’ll accompany you.”
Sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves. Jiang Changsheng seemed to be covered with a layer of light. In a daze, Jiang Xun found him familiar.
He seemed to have seen him somewhere before…
Jiang Xun did not think much about it. Since the other party was a member of the Jiang Clan, it was normal for him to feel a sense of deja vu. He stood up and began to lead the way.
This time, he did not fly on his sword. Instead, he went east along the mountain road.
“You don’t seem to be in a hurry?” Jiang Changsheng asked.
Jiang Xun, who was walking in front, spread his hands and said, “The temperature between heaven and earth has yet to increase, which means that the Golden Crows have yet to be born. Naturally, there’s no hurry.”
Jiang Changsheng suddenly asked, “Do you know the origin of the Golden Crows?”
Jiang Xun turned his head and asked, “What’s their origin? Aren’t the Golden
Crows mythical beasts that are born in response to luck?”
“Of course not. The first Golden Crow was once a little swallow demon adopted by the Dao Ancestor. Later on, the Dao Ancestor summoned it into the form of a Golden Crow and it resided in the Sun Star, controlling the order of the Sun,” Jiang Changsheng said with a smile.
Jiang Xun slowed down and walked side by side with Jiang Changsheng. He asked curiously, “Is that true? Is this a secret of your branch?”
“That’s right.”
“As expected, the Jiang Clan has concealed many ancient secrets. The more talented they are, the more information they can come into contact with.”
“Then do you want to hear Jiang Xuannian’s story?”
“Hey, even though we are from different branches, my ancestor is still considered your ancestor. Can you use honorifics?”
“Sure, sure. Immortal Emperor Xuannian, what do you think?”
“That’s more like it!”
Looking at the proud Jiang Xun, Jiang Changsheng found it funny.
This kid wanted to get rid of his identity as a member of the Jiang Clan, but he was proud of his ancestor. Perhaps he was only resistant to the imperial bloodline.
Jiang Changsheng began to tell Jiang Xuannian’s story. When he heard that Jiang Xuannian was once a mortal, Jiang Xun was shocked.
As far as he knew, the members of the Jiang Clan were born as god that stood above all beings.
When he heard that Jiang Xuannian had become a puppet emperor and was being held hostage by enemies, he could no longer remain calm.
“How is that possible? You’re discrediting my ancestor. Even though you’re powerful, don’t blame me for fighting you to the death if you continue like this!” Jiang Xun drew his sword in anger and glared at her.
Jiang Changsheng shrugged his shoulders and smiled. “All powerful existences start from the bottom. How can you be sure that I’m lying? However, you can think about it carefully. Compared to Immortal Emperor Xuannian’s predicament, who is in a worse situation? Your ancestor could survive and eventually become an Immortal Emperor that will leave his name in history.
Why are you running away?”
When Jiang Xun heard that, his expression instantly turned ugly.
In fact, he also understood that his method was to escape. He was afraid of the Jiang Clan and his predicament. He felt that it was impossible for him to defeat that prodigy of the Jiang Clan and avenge his people.
Jiang Changsheng said with deep meaning, “You underestimate the Eye of the Great Dao. The Eye of the Great Dao is not only a bloodline. It penetrates deep into the soul. Even if you possess a Golden Crow, the Eye of the Great Dao will still exist.”
This was not a lie. The Eye of the Great Dao was a soul-based Divine Power.
Jiang Xun’s expression changed drastically as he hastily asked, “Doesn’t that mean my plan is in vain?”
Jiang Changsheng smiled and did not say anything.
Jiang Xun was like an eggplant that had been frosted. He had fallen into a daze. At that moment, he was completely confused and his heart was enveloped by despair.
Jiang Changsheng suddenly understood.
Perhaps this was a warning from the heavenly tribulation to him, a warning to the future.
“If you can’t escape, then face it bravely. How about I teach you some Divine Powers?” Jiang Changsheng asked.
Jiang Xun trembled and turned to look at him. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. “Can your mystical abilities help me defeat the prodigies of the Jiang Clan or even fight against the imperial bloodline?”
“If you become stronger, how can the imperial bloodline not value you?” “Impossible. I will never join the imperial bloodline. I will avenge my people…”
“I can’t give you the ability to overturn the 3000 worlds. I can only help you become stronger. Are you going to learn it or not?”
Jiang Changsheng shook his head and said. This was the future. He did not know how powerful the imperial bloodline of the Jiang Clan was. Perhaps the master of the imperial bloodline was stronger than him.
Jiang Xun gritted his teeth and said, “Yes!”
Jiang Changsheng quickened his pace and waved his hand. “Then find a place with good scenery.”
“Hey, you haven’t said your name!”
“Jiang Qian.”
It was also a tribulation-transcending illusion, but it was longer than Jiang Changsheng had expected. However, when he thought about how his consciousness had returned to his body after the tribulation, he was no longer worried.
After imparting the Golden Core Great Dao to Jiang Xun, he also imparted the Seventy-Two Changes of the Earthly Fiend, Heaven and Earth Change, Ziwei Imprisoning Heaven Divine Dao Palm, and many other Divine Powers.
Jiang Xun’s talent was stronger than he had imagined, but he was bullied by other prodigies of the same clan. Furthermore, the other party did not belong to the imperial bloodline.
How talented was the imperial bloodline of the Jiang Clan in this era?
It seemed like the older one was, the stronger their talents would be. As time passed, the future generations would become stronger.
Jiang Changsheng, who was sitting by the cliff, looked down at Jiang Xun in a daze.
It had been ten years since he taught Jiang Xun. Currently, Jiang Xun had only learned those Divine Powers briefly and had yet to fully master them. At the very least, he could not use them in battle. He had spent more time practicing them. Moreover, the Golden Core Great Dao was vast and profound, which surprised Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun directly abandoned his family’s inherited cultivation technique and focused on cultivating the Golden Core Great Dao.
During these ten years, Jiang Changsheng was not idle. While teaching Jiang Xun, he would also think about the order of time and space and comprehend the karmic relationship between the past and the future. As he watched his future descendants become stronger, his perception of the order of time and space seemed to have begun to become clearer.
Jiang Changsheng retracted his gaze and stretched. He muttered to himself,
“The sky is starting to heat up. It seems like that little guy is about to be born. Tsk tsk, he is an Earth Immortal the moment he is born. It seems like the bloodline of the Golden Crow has improved tremendously as that guy becomes stronger…”
The Golden Crow of Kunlun Field stayed on the Sun Star all day long and was isolated from the world. At present, it had yet to give birth to a child and had yet to reach the Earth Immortal Realm. It probably did not expect that its descendants would reach the Earth Immortal Realm the moment they were born in the future.
Jiang Changsheng suddenly thought of an idea.
If this was the future, would Jiang Changsheng have noticed him?
At the thought of this, Jiang Changsheng suddenly fell into a trance. The entire world seemed to be shaking, and even with his cultivation, he felt dizzy.
He hastily dispelled the idea of contacting the future and his trance-like state finally disappeared.
“That feeling just now seems to be some sort of karmic backlash. No, it’s more depressing than a karmic backlash…”
Jiang Changsheng frowned as six words surfaced in his mind.
The order of time and space?
Ever since he started cultivating, he had not encountered the existence of other time and space, which meant that there was a force restricting transmigration.
Jiang Changsheng’s thoughts drifted away and he slowly closed his eyes.
At the foot of a cliff, Jiang Xun, who was sitting by a river, turned his head and sighed when he saw Jiang Changsheng sitting motionless on the edge of the cliff.
“What is Senior Jiang Qian’s cultivation realm? Why didn’t his cultivation cause the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to surge?”
Jiang Xun turned around and stopped thinking about it. He wanted to cherish these few years.
He still remembered that the senior had only entered this place by mistake and did not intend to look for him. In other words, the senior would leave sooner or later.
Unknowingly, he had become dependent on Jiang Changsheng.
With Jiang Changsheng by his side, he felt the most at ease for the past ten years. He was not worried that the members of the Jiang Clan would attack him.
At the thought that his senior might leave, Jiang Xun panicked and forced himself not to think about it.
However, there were many things that would happen even if he did not think about it.
Time continued to pass.
Five years passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Jiang Changsheng guided Jiang Xun in cultivating his Divine Powers as usual. All of a sudden, he sensed something and his expression changed.
Jiang Xun stood by the river and was cultivating the Seventy-Two Changes of the Earthly Fiend. He was wet all over. He had transformed into a fish and swam in the water for an incense stick of time before he came ashore.
“Senior, the Seventy-Two Changes are really amazing. Not only the changes, but also…’
Jiang Xun said happily, but he suddenly stopped because he noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Changsheng’s expression.
Jiang Changsheng looked up at Jiang Xun and said, “I didn’t expect it to end so quickly. Xun’er, I should leave.”
His tone was filled with emotion. Previously, he thought that he had to help Jiang Xun resolve his predicament before he could leave the illusion. He did not expect to leave today.
Without any warning.
At that moment, in his vision, heaven and earth swayed, and even Jiang Xun’s figure seemed blurry. This time, it was not the backlash of the order of time and space. He did not feel any discomfort, just like when he came.
Jiang Xun’s expression changed drastically and he was at a loss. He hastily said,
“But I have yet to master the Divine Powers you taught me…’
He did not notice the change in how Jiang Changsheng addressed him. Right now, he was filled with fear.
Jiang Changsheng could no longer see Jiang Xun’s expression, but from his tone. one could imagine how flustered he was.
“In the end, people have to rely on themselves. Cultivate well in the future. You must master the mystical abilities I taught you. In times of crisis, you must seek help from the gods, especially in the face of the Jiang Clan…
Jiang Changsheng instructed seriously, but before he could finish speaking, he saw a blurry black color in the sky behind Jiang Xun. He could vaguely sense a powerful aura.
Jiang Xun also felt the same, but his feelings were even more profound. Fear and despair surfaced on his face as he trembled and turned around.
“Weakling, you sure know how to run.. I’ve been looking for you for a long time!”
