Chapter 72: Bean Form Soldiers, Undefeatable Fate
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Looking at the skeleton that had fallen to the ground, the black-robed man knelt on the ground and said with a trembling voice, “This is a Yin Skeleton… How can it be so weak..
Jiang Ziyu, who stood on the eaves, was equally shocked when he saw this scene from afar.
When the Yin Skeleton appeared, it made Jiang Ziyu shiver. However, before he could think further, the Yin Skeleton was casually scattered by Jiang
Changsheng.
How strong was his father?
Jiang Ziyu suddenly realized that no one seemed to know how strong Jiang Changsheng was. No matter how strong the enemy was, Jiang Changsheng could easily defeat them.
Although he knew Jiang Changsheng’s experience, he could not understand how he had gotten up to this point.
Jiang Ziyu raised his hand and gestured for the White-robed Guards to stop.
Jiang Changsheng looked down at the black-robed man and said, “Do you have any other methods?”
The black-robed man fell into fear. He smiled sadly and said, “You are really in the Golden Body…”
He struggled to get up, but his true qi was shattered. He knew that he could not escape.
The reason why Star Gathering Tower had sent him here was because his lightness skill was unparalleled in the Chao Sects. He guessed that even if the other party was really a hidden Golden Body realm expert, he would still have the chance to escape.
Unexpectedly, the other party crippled him with a single kick!
He shuddered at the thought of that kick just now. In his dozens of years of practicing martial arts, he had never felt such horror.
The black-robed man said angrily, “Demonic Priest Changsheng, although I die today, you can’t enjoy the thirteen prefectures alone!”
He suddenly stood up and rushed towards Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng, who was standing on the eaves, had a bright moon above his head. He was like an immortal god, high and mighty, and could not be disobeyed.
The black-robed man leaped up and took out another dagger from his waist to stab forward. His speed suddenly increased, as if he had disappeared into thin air, but only Jiang Changsheng could see that he had accelerated.
Jiang Changsheng raised his hand again and shot out a finger. His spiritual energy turned into a cold light and pierced through the black-robed man’s forehead.
Thump!
The black-robed man’s corpse fell to the ground.
This True God realm expert came with the intention of conducting an assassination. But before he could squander his true qi, he was crippled by
Jiang Changsheng. After that, his performance lacked the demeanor of a True God realm expert and he died an extremely cowardly death.
Only Jiang Ziyu, who had almost been assassinated by the black-robed man, knew how powerful he was.
Jiang Changsheng raised his hand and sucked away the scroll and a pile of bones on the ground. After that, he turned around and glanced at Jiang Ziyu before disappearing from the eaves.
All the White-robed Guards and palace guards who were watching the battle woke up from their stupor. They were amazed by the power of Immortal
Master Changsheng.
Han Tianji stood on the eaves near the city gate with a shocked expression.
“What realm is he at?”
Han Tianji had previously thought that Jiang Changsheng was only at the peak of the True God realm like the other Chao Sects. But from the looks of it, that was definitely not the case.
Only by witnessing this battle with his own eyes did he realize that the Immortal Master Changsheng was unfathomable and far stronger than what others said.
“Pass down my decree, hang this person’s corpse on the north gate of the capital to dry for seven days!”
Jiang Ziyu’s cold voice echoed in the palace.
In the room, Jiang Changsheng looked at the pile of bones on the table and used his divine sense to investigate.
Bai Qi lay in front of the window sill and curiously looked into the room. When its gaze fell on the pile of bones, its eyes were filled with fear.
“Daoist Master, be careful. Evil spirits can easily possess and bewitch people…”
Bai Qi could not help but remind him. It was afraid that Jiang Changsheng would be careless.
Jiang Changsheng suddenly trembled, scaring Bai Qi so much that its fur stood on ends. Jiang Changsheng turned to look at it with a strange smile on his face.
Bai Qi was almost scared to death. If Jiang Changsheng was possessed, who could stop him?
When Jiang Changsheng saw its reaction, he was immediately amused and said angrily, “Do you think I don’t know how to be careful?”
He retracted his gaze and stopped scaring Bai Qi. Instead, he focused on examining the white bones.
Bai Qi heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Jiang Changsheng with resentment. It muttered, “Daoist Master, you almost scared me to death…”
It then looked at the white bones on the table. After looking at them for a while, its expression suddenly changed and it shouted, “Could this be the legendary Yin Skeleton?”
Yin Skeleton?
Jiang Chanzsheng turned to look at it and said, “You can come in and talk.”
Bai Qi was immediately excited. It immediately jumped over the window sill and came to Jiang Changsheng’s side. Afterwards, Demonic Qi spread and transformed into a white-robed woman. She sat beside Jiang Changsheng and said, “This servant was born in the Donglin Dynasty. Fifty years ago, I heard that many sects were fighting for an evil creature called the Yin Skeleton. This
Yin Skeleton is a white bone evil spirit that has been alive for a thousand years. Legend has it that a thousand years ago, there was a peerless expert whose son died because of revenge. He was unwilling to face his son’s death, so he used an unorthodox martial arts to refine his son’s corpse into an evil spirit and nourished it for a hundred years. After a thousand years, the Yin Skeleton already had the strength of a True God…” Tsk tsk.
There was actually such an evil technique.
Jiang Changsheng sighed with emotion. It seemed that this world was not an ordinary martial arts world. It was f*cking fantasy martial arts.
Bai Qi added, “It’s said that the Yin Skeleton has a special use. As for what it is, I’m not sure.”
She subconsciously wanted to hug Jiang Changsheng’s arm. However, Jiang Changsheng glanced at her, scaring her into retracting her hand.
Jiang Changsheng said, “It does have a special use.”
He could sense that the Yin Skeleton could carry spiritual energy and true qi. In other words, if he gave it enough true qi, the Yin Skeleton could become stronger. In addition, there was some kind of sealing technique in the Yin
Skeleton’s body that even the power of a True God realm expert could not open. It was probably done by someone in the Golden Body realm.
The martial arts in this world were really dazzling. There were all kinds of arrays and sealing techniques.
At this moment, a line of words appeared in front of him.
[In the 14th year of the Qianwu Era, the Left Emissary of Star Gathering Tower attacked with the Yin Skeleton. You saved your son and chased after the enemy. After surviving a calamity, you obtained a survival reward—Spell, ‘Scattering
Beans into Soldiers’.]
Scattering Beans into Soldiers?
Not bad.
Jiang Changsheng did not immediately inherit the memories of the spell. Instead, he broke the seal of the Yin Skeleton.
As soon as his divine sense rushed out, the seal was immediately broken. With a whoosh, an evil wind spread out, causing the windows to creak. Bai Qi also trembled in fear.
Immediately after, the white bones on the table began to tremble. Under Bai Qi’s nervous gaze, the white bones quickly pieced together and stood on the table completely. Judging from the skeleton, the Yin Skeleton had the figure of a youth and was estimated to be thirteen or fourteen years old.
“Who are you…”
Yin Skeleton let out a hoarse voice, but it revealed a trace of childishness. Jiang Changsheng said, “Your master, from now on, you will cultivate with me.”
Yin Skeleton immediately turned around and knelt down to kowtow to Jiang
Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng raised his eyebrows. It was really effective.
When he broke the seal, he injected a reincarnation mark into the Yin Skeleton. He did not expect that he would really subdue the Yin Skeleton. He could now feel that he could use the reincarnation mark to control the Yin Skeleton.
No, the reincarnation mark was just a connection. The main thing was that this sealing technique was profound. No matter who broke the seal, Yin Skeleton would acknowledge them as its master.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Bai Qi, bring it out. Let it stay under the tree in the future.” Bai Qi asked curiously, “Aren’t you afraid of it being seen?”
“I’m not afraid.”
Jiang Changsheng said calmly. No one could infiltrate his courtyard unless he tacitly agreed. Even if the fact that he had the Yin Skeleton spread, he was not afraid. If this treasure could fall into the hands of Star Gathering Tower, why couldn’t he keep it?
Bai Qi hesitated for a moment and sighed. Then, she left the house with the Yin Skeleton.
Jiang Changsheng looked at the scroll and realized that there was an empty space in it. Although it was not big, it was enough to hide the Yin Skeleton.
That’s right. He could keep it for storage uses in the future.
Jiang Changsheng put away the scroll and sat on the bed to inherit the memories of the Scattering Beans into Soldiers.
Soon, he was moved.
This spell…
Not bad!
Scattering Beans into Soldiers. As the name suggested, one could scatter beans and transform them into soldiers. However, these beans were formed by spiritual energy. Jiang Changsheng could store a large number of spiritual energy beans. As there was a trace of spiritual energy, the soldiers they transformed into was stronger than ordinary soldiers.
As long as the beans landed on the ground and came into contact with soil, they would directly turn into soldiers. In other words, Jiang Changsheng could give the spiritual energy beans to others.
As Jiang Changsheng’s spiritual energy became stronger, the soldiers created by the Scattering Beans into Soldiers would only become stronger.
Tsk tsk, was this really just a spell?
As expected of the survival reward brought about by the superimposition of two True Gods realm experts. Not bad, not bad.
After Jiang Changsheng inherited the memories, he began to condense spiritual energy beans. This process was not difficult. He could create a handful of beans in a breath.
The limiting factor of the Scattering Beans into Soldiers spell was the amount of spiritual energy of the caster. He calculated carefully. It did not consume much spiritual power to create a hundred spiritual power beans in a second. After all, his current spiritual energy could be described as vast.
He casually threw a bean on the ground. The bean quickly enlarged and transformed into his figure. Under his control, the bean soldier did not move but stayed where it was.
After about the time for an incense stick to burn, the bean soldier dispersed and disappeared without a trace.
In other words, a bean soldier could only fight for an incense stick of time.
It was enough.
Jiang Changsheng took out a small bag from the cabinet and created a large number of spiritual energy beans. He placed them in it, filled it up, and clipped it to his waist.
‘In the future, I can use it as a brocade pouch and give it to others to promote my remarkable abilities.’
Jiang Changsheng thought to himself and began to cultivate.
The next morning, the corpse of the Left Emissary of Star Gathering Tower hung on the northern city gate, scaring many martial artists and commoners who entered and left.
There was also a notice pasted beside the city gate:
The True God realm expert of the Jin Dynasty sneaked into the palace in the middle of the night and wanted to assassinate His Majesty. However, they overestimated themselves and failed. Their crimes could not be punished!
In the wilderness surrounded by mountains, there was an inn on the side of the official road. There were several fierce horses, and a butcher was slaughtering pigs beside the stables.
“Have you heard? A True God realm expert from the Jin Dynasty tried to assassinate the Emperor a month ago!”
“Are you serious? What happened in the end?”
“Of course, he died tragically. His corpse was hung on the city wall. How cowardly. Even a True God realm expert is nothing more than that.”
“It’s most likely because the Martial God of Longqi Temple took action.’
“Tsk tsk, the Martial God is really hardworking. The Emperor is his disciple? I think he is more like his son. He watches him day and night.”
The martial artists in the inn discussed, and an old man and a young man listened quietly in a corner.
The old man was dressed in gray and had a head of white hair. Even his beard was white. If Jiang Changsheng was here, he would definitely recognize him.
This person was the former Second Senior Brother and Eldest Senior Brother of Longqi Temple, Meng Qiuhe.
The current Meng Qiuhe was already in his seventies. He was not as sharp as when he was young, nor did he have the demeanor of an expert. He looked like an ordinary old man.
Meng Qiuhe sighed softly and said, “He’s still so powerful.”
Sitting beside him was a young man in chivalrous clothes. He had a sword on his back and one foot on a stool. He did not sit properly and looked sloppy.
However, he was quite handsome.
The young man held the pot of wine with one hand and poured it into his mouth. After drinking it in one gulp, he wiped his mouth and smiled.
“Immortal Master Changsheng is indeed impressive. Otherwise, my father and my seniors would not have died in his hands.”
Meng Qiuhe glanced at him and asked, “You can still smile? Shouldn’t you be gnashing your teeth in hatred?”
The young man waved his hand and moved closer to Meng Qiuhe. He laughed softly and said, “What should I hate him? Without the Dragon Tower, I feel at ease now. Moreover, the reason why my father died was because of his own will. Immortal Master Changsheng who defeated them must have surpassed the True God realm and reached the legendary realm. So, let him dominate the thirteen prefectures first and help our Dragon Tower kill more enemies. When he dies of old age, the Dragon Tower will rise and rule the world again.”
“No matter how strong a person is, they can’t defeat the heavens. That Immortal Master Changsheng is a person who cultivate Taoism, and he doesn’t have any children. When he dies, won’t the thirteen prefectures belong to the Dragon Tower? This is the foundation of the Dragon Tower. Our thousand-year old foundation can’t be dispersed in a single battle. When the time comes, I will raise my arm and wave it. At that time, no one in the martial arts world will dare to disobey me.”
Meng Qiuhe mocked, “You’re really going all out. Isn’t the price too high?”
The young man shrugged and was slightly drunk. “How is the price huge? My father went berserk during cultivation and had a demon in his heart. The others who died were all people who were about to die. I heard from my old servant that the Dragon Tower has been in decline for the past hundred years.
Previously, during the martial arts competition of the Chao Sects, the Mahayana Dragon Tower was defeated. There were powerful enemies outside and an uncontrollable Immortal Master Changsheng inside. If it were you, what would you do?”
