“Without a Daoist temple, can’t you become a Daoist priest yourself?”
Jiang Changsheng asked with a smile. As he spoke, he raised his glass to the other party.
The middle-aged man immediately carried a wine pot and walked over with a wine bowl. Jiang Changsheng did not mind and began to chat with him. He regarded Jiang Changsheng as a foreigner and passionately introduced the prosperity of Jingcheng to him.
Jiang Changsheng found it interesting. Even though he could understand Jingcheng with a single glance, the taste of some things would be completely different when it came from a person’s mouth.
After chatting for an hour, the middle-aged man picked up his bamboo basket and left. The inn was still crowded with guests. Some left while others came. It was the same for every inn in Jingcheng. The culture of immortal cultivation here was very strong, and the streets were filled with immortal cultivators.
Generally speaking, the current Jingcheng did not disappoint Jiang Changsheng. The people lived and worked in peace and could even cultivate immortality. In the original Great Jing, that was something unimaginable.
After walking out of the inn, Jiang Changsheng did not stay in the capital and began to walk into the distance. For the next hundred years, he intended to enjoy the scenery of the world on foot.
…
The boundless world, in the void.
A piece of broken land was floating with several high mountains on it. In a mountain stream, the Kunlun Leader sat by the river. There was a murderous aura between his brows that was hard to dispel.
At this moment.
The murderous aura flew out from between his eyebrows and expanded rapidly, condensing into a mysterious figure in front of him.
“Give up on the Immortal Dao and cultivate the Devil Dao. I can sense the strong unwillingness in your heart and your desire to become stronger. Since you cannot walk further on the path of the Immortal Dao, why don’t you take the path I gave you?”
The mysterious figure spoke with a bewitching tone.
The Kunlun Leader did not open his eyes or answer.
The mysterious figure continued, “The Devil Dao is only the opposite of the Great Dao, not the devils and demons you know. Those devils and demons scattered in the void of the Great Dao are only a small part of my Devil Dao.”
The Kunlun Leader was still indifferent.
The mysterious figure smiled strangely and said, “Are you yearning for the Zenith Heaven Realm? Now, immortals can’t help you become a Zenith Heaven Immortal, but the devil can. I have already comprehended the mysteries of the Zenith Heaven Realm, so it’s not impossible.”
Hearing the words ‘Zenith Heaven Realm’, the Kunlun Leader finally could not hold it in. He opened his eyes and frowned as he stared at the mysterious figure.
“Become a devil among immortals, a devil among devils, and establish an unprecedented orthodoxy!” The mysterious figure’s tone became deranged and hysterical.
When the Kunlun Leader heard this, the strange glint in his eyes instantly faded and the killing intent between his brows dissipated, causing the mysterious figure to gradually dissipate.
“You… how could this be…”
The mysterious figure roared in shock. Before he could finish speaking, he completely dissipated and ceased to exist.
The Kunlun Leader took a deep breath. He suddenly realized that he should go back.
There were some things that had to be faced.
Previously, he had also heard the Dao Ancestor’s voice and knew about the term of the Nine Absolute Beginning Saints. It was precisely because of this that he almost had a mental demon.
The figure just now was not a demon, but an evil spirit wandering in the void. The Kunlun Leader felt that he could not deal with it and could only think of returning to the Immortal Dao.
He decided to look for the Dao Ancestor.
The Dao Ancestor was high and mighty, but he felt that the Dao Ancestor would still make a move to save him. Moreover, devils had already set their sights on the Immortal Dao. He had to let the Dao Ancestor know about this as soon as possible.
The Kunlun Leader stood up and set off for the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm.
He did not notice that surging devil qi was following him in the depths of the void. It would sometimes disappear and sometimes reappear. It was extremely strange.
…
“Teach me how to cultivate immortality? Just because… Little Daoist Master, don’t talk nonsense!”
In a stone pavilion in the mountains, a scholar carrying a box on his back wiped the sweat off his face as he spoke.
Jiang Changsheng sat by his side and chuckled. “I’ve seen you accumulate ten lifetimes of merit, but your life has been bumpy. It’s fate that we met. I want to help you, but are you really going to reject me?”
The scholar looked to be in his thirties. He had fair skin and a tired expression. After he heard Jiang Changsheng’s nonsense, he began to size him up seriously.
He had traveled extensively for so many years, and he had seen many immortal cultivators. He had even encountered supernatural beings. For this reason, he wrote a book and hid it in his cage.
“You can still see my previous life? Then do you want me to display my immortal skills?” The scholar raised his eyebrows and asked. He had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Jiang Changsheng raised his hand and a strong wind stirred up between heaven and earth. It whistled past, causing the mountain forest to shake like waves.
The scholar hastily grabbed the wooden stake by his side. Under his shocked expression, Jiang Changsheng clenched his right hand and the wind and waves between heaven and earth instantly stopped.
At that moment, the scholar was shocked.
He immediately put down the box and knelt before Jiang Changsheng, continuously kowtowing.
“I was blind to not recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive me, senior. I am willing to consult you about cultivation!”
The scholar was extremely excited. He had failed the imperial examination for many years and had lost his confidence. If there was another path, he was willing to choose it. Moreover, this was an extraordinary path.
Jiang Changsheng raised his hand and pointed his index finger at him. Coincidentally, he looked up and met Jiang Changsheng’s fingertips.
The scholar was instantly in a trance as Jiang Changsheng’s figure was reflected in his pupils.
After an unknown period of time, the sky gradually darkened.
When the scholar woke up, he found himself alone in the pavilion.
He hastily stood up and looked around before shouting, “Senior! Senior! Senior…”
After shouting for a long time without getting a response, the scholar confirmed that the senior had left. However, a cultivation technique appeared in his mind.
Golden Body Art!
…
The endless river flowed without end. Jiang Changsheng stood by a cliff and looked at the majestic waves crashing against the shore. His thoughts drifted away.
For some reason, as he walked around the human world all these years, he often thought of Earth in his previous life.
Even after he became Zenith Heaven Immortal and cast his will into the past and future, he could not find the planet where he originally came from. Perhaps Earth existed in the ancient past or the distant future.
“There’s no need to care about the past. Since I want to, why don’t I create the world I miss?”
Jiang Changsheng thought silently. After his trip in the human world, he decided to create a piece of land, a land where ancient Chinese civilization flourished.
Just like the Shaohao and Xingtian he met when he returned to his senses. They were the legendary figures in his memories.
Jiang Changsheng stepped forward and flew in the air. Waves splashed on him. He was also enjoying the coolness.
Even though he was on foot, the distance he had covered in a year was a distance that ordinary people could not cross in their entire lives. However, Heavenly Jing covered a huge area, and half of the territory of the Kunlun Field belonged to Heavenly Jing.
Along the way, Jiang Changsheng encountered many fights between cultivators. There were even people who wanted to find trouble with him. Naturally, they would not have a good time.
Gradually, he arrived at the high mountains and snowy mountains. He stood on the grass and looked up. The scenery was magnificent.
Under his gaze, two figures were fighting at the end of the mountain, causing the earth to tremble.
If it were anyone else, Jiang Changsheng might have overlooked them at a glance. However, one of them was from the Jiang Clan, and he was from the imperial bloodline of the Jiang Clan.
Ever since he went to Jiang Xun’s future, Jiang Changsheng had always maintained a suspicious attitude towards the Jiang Clan’s imperial bloodline. Therefore, he did not take special care of the Jiang Clan. Otherwise, with the qualifications of the prodigies of the Jiang Clan, coupled with his guidance, there would definitely be a member of the Jiang Clan’s imperial bloodline among the Nine Absolute Beginning Saints.
In a one-on-one fight, that disciple from the imperial bloodline of the Jiang Clan clearly suppressed his opponent. Jiang Changsheng could see through their karma at a glance.
It was not the fault of the Jiang clan member, but the other party coveted their treasures and kicked an iron plate.
Jiang Changsheng quietly watched the battle. About an hour later, the battle ended. The Jiang clansman won and successfully killed the enemy. He did not interfere. This was all personal karma and fate that the other party had chosen.
After that Jiang clansman collected the other party’s corpse, he turned around and flew towards Jiang Changsheng. Then, he saw Jiang Changsheng. He immediately stopped and looked down at Jiang Changsheng from the sky, his eyes flickering.
Jiang Changsheng looked at him teasingly, wanting to see what he was prepared to do.
Ultimately, the Jiang clansman landed and said, “I am Jiang Yuan. Be careful when you come here. There are many demonic sects in this area. It will be troublesome if you are targeted.”
After he said that, he stared at Jiang Changsheng. In his perception, Jiang Changsheng was only a Qi Refining cultivator. However, if he was only a Qi Refining cultivator, how could he dare to come to this area?
He suspected that Jiang Changsheng had a secret technique and even suspected that he might be from demonic sects.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Jiang Yuan, long time no see.”
“Oh? You’ve heard of me?”
Jiang Yuan’s expression became unnatural.
Jiang Changsheng answered, “An old friend of mine is also called Jiang Yuan. I don’t like him very much, but I have no choice but to take care of him. Don’t you think this karma is very strange?”
When he heard Jiang Changsheng muttering to himself, Jiang Yuan felt baffled and became even more vigilant.
Jiang Changsheng suddenly became interested and sneered. “Alright, let’s cut to the chase. I’m prepared to seize the bloodline of the Jiang race’s imperial bloodline. You came at the right time. Meeting me is your destined fate of despair!”
Boom!
A powerful aura exploded, startling Jiang Yuan into retreating. He immediately took out his magic swords and formed a sword formation around him.
“So powerful… Could he be a Taiyi Earth Immortal?”
Jiang Yuan broke out in cold sweat. He relied on his own strength to enter the imperial bloodline. Although he was talented, he had only cultivated for a short period of time. Therefore, he came to the cultivation world of Heavenly Jing to train. He did not expect to encounter a Taiyi Earth Immortal.
“Damn it!”
Even though Jiang Yuan was flustered, he still quickly launched an attack. He spread his arms and dozens of flying swords rose up, charging towards Jiang Changsheng. Every flying sword emitted a purple light and the mountains behind him trembled violently, causing an avalanche.
Jiang Changsheng raised his palm.
Boom!
Dozens of flying swords were smashed into pieces. Jiang Yuan was caught off guard and was sent flying. His muscles and bones were broken and he landed on a mountain wall, causing it to break. Soon after, he was drowned by the surging snow.
Jiang Changsheng’s attack had caused Jiang Yuan to suffer.
“Kid, don’t disappoint me. Whether you can obtain the opportunity in my hands will depend on your backbone.”
Jiang Changsheng thought expressionlessly. As he pushed out his palm, Jiang Yuan’s karma began to change.
Gradually, Jiang Changsheng thought of another person.
Jin Chanzi.
So that was the case.
Jiang Changsheng’s lips curled up.
Boom!
Jiang Yuan, who was covered in blood, rushed out from the snow. The Eye of the Great Dao on his forehead opened and flickered with a purple light that illuminated the world. His limbs drooped unnaturally and his hair was disheveled. He looked like a devil god that had descended to the world as he stared at Jiang Changsheng with a hideous expression.
