Boom! Boom! Boom!
Consecutive bolts of lightning struck the Human Emperor’s Tablet, but it was not damaged. Lightning flickered on the surface, and a strong wind stirred up between heaven and earth as it surged towards the Human Emperor’s Tablet.
Jiang Ziyu clearly felt a strange power and narrowed his eyes.
Was this luck?
Jiang Jian, who was kneeling at the back, suddenly looked up. There were also traces of lightning intertwined between his eyebrows. However, everyone’s attention was on Jiang Ziyu and the Human Emperor’s Tablet, so no one noticed his abnormality.
Very soon, a whirlwind visible to the naked eye formed around the Human Emperor’s Tablet. Han Tianji and the others retreated. The tablet did not need them to guide anymore. They just had to quietly wait for the luck to condense.
Jiang Ziyu stood in front of the cauldron and looked up at the Human
Emperor’s Tablet. He saw wind and waves condensing on the top of the tablet.
Right at this moment!
A flame rose from outside the palace and soared into the sky. None of the officials noticed it, but Jiang Ziyu happened to be facing that flame and noticed it at the first instance. He did not panic. Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up in disdain.
Soon, figures leaped up from behind the palace walls in all directions and rushed towards the Human Emperor’s Tablet.
The pair of old monk and young monk were among them.
The young monk followed by his master’s side and anxiously asked, “Master, didn’t we agree to wait?”
The old monk answered, “We have already waited long enough!”
More and more martial artists rushed into the palace. However, the guards were indifferent and continued to guard their positions.
The young monk turned around and saw that no one was stopping him. His heart pounded as he had a bad feeling.
“Master, something’s wrong!”
The young monk shouted.
The old monk was impatient and scolded, “What are you talking about at a time like this? If you’re afraid, get lost!”
When the young monk heard that, he gritted his teeth and immediately turned around.
As far as the eye could see, hundreds of martial artists rushed towards the Human Emperor’s Tablet from all directions, and he was the only one running out of the palace.
These martial artists were all experts. They jumped on the eaves and quickly approached the Human Emperor’s Tablet.
“You are responsible for restraining others while I absorb the luck!”
An old man in a cyan robe shouted. His aura was extremely powerful as he flew over.
The officials around the Human Emperor’s Tablet were in an uproar. The imperial concubines and princesses were even more frightened as their faces turned pale.
“Don’t panic!”
Jiang Ziyu shouted in a deep voice. His voice entered everyone’s ears and calmed their hearts.
For some reason, Jiang Ziyu’s might had obviously changed. Perhaps it was due to the absorbed luck.
Just as the young monk arrived at the palace wall and leaped up to the roof of the opposite building, he saw a golden light shooting from the direction of Longqi Mountain.
“What’s that…”
The young monk widened his eyes. He was now even more terrified and immediately sped up.
The golden light rushed into the palace at high speed and quickly pierced through the foreheads of the invading martial artists. It was so fast that the naked eye could not keep up.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft…
One by one, the golden light pierced through the heads of the martial artists and their bodies fell. This scene also attracted everyone’s attention, including those invading martial artists.
“What is that?”
“Be careful!” “What martial arts is that? Or is it a weapon?”
“It’s coming!”
The martial artists cried out in surprise. Their voices became softer and softer as more and more people died.
The azure-robed old man who was flying in the air was also shocked. He immediately activated his martial technique and his body turned golden. Flames quickly surrounded him and his aura suddenly increased.
As soon as he entered his state, the golden light shot towards him, and he waved his palm in response.
The golden light pierced through his hand and his forehead. He widened his eyes and his body stiffened as he fell.
The golden light traveled at high speed. The other martial artists could not escape and were killed one after another.
On the cliff, Hua Jianxin looked at Jiang Changsheng and said, “Just one leaf is enough?”
She could not see what had happened in the palace, so she asked Jiang Changsheng. After all, Jiang Ziyu was her son, and she did not want to see anything happen to him.
Wang Chen was also curious.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Enough.”
All the enemies in the palace had died, and only the young monk who had turned around at the last minute escaped. It was not easy for him to turn around at such juncture. Plus, by keeping him alive, he could go out and publicize Jiang Changsheng’s strength.
Whoosh!
The Golden-scaled Jade Leaf flew back and entered Jiang Changsheng’s sleeve.
Hua Jianxin chose to believe Jiang Changsheng and looked at the palace again.
At the same time.
In the plaza of the palace, everyone was silent. Most of them looked around in disbelief. The martial artists who came to steal luck were all dead. They died before they could touch the Human Emperor’s Tablet.
Jiang Ziyu’s expression did not change as he continued to stare at the Human Emperor’s Tablet.
Han Tianji sighed internally. “As expected of an immortal who moved a mountain. He killed all the enemies without appearing personally.”
He could sense that this group of martial artists was very strong, and there was no lack of True Gods among them. The aura of that green-robed old man was even more terrifying, surpassing True Gods. However, in the face of the Dao Ancestor’s methods, he was powerless.
The ceremony continued!
Rumble—
Thunder continued to rumble, and wind continued to howl. Gradually, not only Jiang Ziyu, but the other princes and princesses also felt the aura of luck. They were moved by it. This invisible power had given them a new understanding.
Jiang Jian stood up slowly. Suddenly, the wind and waves surged towards him and entered the birthmark between his eyebrows.
“Jian’er…”
Just as the imperial concubine wanted to pull Jiang Jian back to his knees, she noticed his abnormality. His birthmark was intertwined with lightning, causing his expression to become solemn. The imperial concubine was so frightened by this that she retracted her hand.
More and more people noticed Jiang Jian’s abnormality.
Jiang Xiu looked at Jiang Jian with a complicated expression.
His ninth brother was really born extraordinary.
When Jiang Ziyu turned his head and saw Jiang Jian, he could not help but be moved.
“This birthmark is indeed extraordinary…”
Jiang Ziyu was shocked. In the past, when danger approached him, his birthmark would sting. At that time, he knew that this birthmark was extraordinary, but he could not figure it out. When he asked Jiang Changsheng, he perfunctorily said that he did not know.
When he saw Jiang Jian today, he finally understood that perhaps he had not really inherited his father’s bloodline, so he did not know, but Jiang Jian was different. It was obvious that he had inherited the real bloodline.
Jiang Ziyu took a deep breath and said, “Jian’er, come here.”
When Jiang Jian heard that, he immediately stepped forward. He also wanted to go um but he felt that it was not the right time.
Under everyone’s gaze, Jiang Jian climbed the mahogany steps and came to Jiang Ziyu’s side. The father and son faced the Human Emperor’s Tablet together.
The waves in front of Jiang Jian were getting stronger and stronger. His birthmark was greedily absorbing luck, and the lightning between his eyebrows was increasing. He was even more eye-catching than Jiang Ziyu.
The officials looked at each other in dismay. This scene made them feel complicated.
In the distance, Jiang Changsheng could not help but raise his eyebrows.
Jiang Jian’s Dao pattern birthmark was indeed magical, but he did not expect it to attract luck.
Jiang Changsheng’s Dao patterns could also absorb spiritual energy, but he could not absorb luck. He could sense that once luck entered his body, it would be very troublesome. The so-called luck was actually a kind of power of heaven and earth. He was not in the martial system of this world. If he rashly absorbed luck, he would have to pay a painful price. Moreover, he did not need external forces to temper his body.
“This kid…’
Jiang Changsheng had to reevaluate Jiang Jian.
This kid’s future upper limit could not be underestimated!
Of course, that was only for martial artists. No matter how powerful Jiang Jian was, he was still a martial artist. His Dao pattern birthmark was not as strong as Jiang Changsheng’s.
Seeing that he was moved, Hua Jianxin could not help but ask, “What’s wrong?
Did something happen?”
She was extremely nervous.
Jiang Changsheng said, “It’s nothing. It’s just that Jiang Jian is absorbing luck. However, he’s too showy. He should stay by my side in the future to avoid any trouble.”
What he was worried about was not the enemy, but the internal strife of his descendants.
When Hua Jianxin heard that, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, everything was fine.
Wang Chen lamented, “The heavens are really blessing Great Jing.”
The ceremony was still ongoing!
An hour passed by.
The thunder stopped abruptly. Everyone looked up in shock.
In their eyes, a true dragon resided on the Human Emperor’s Tablet. It was translucent and faintly discernible. It was even larger than the Human Emperor’s Tablet. Many people in the city could see this scene.
Miracle!
The lightning between Jiang Jian’s eyebrows disappeared. All of a sudden, he felt dizzy and his body fell uncontrollably. Fortunately, Jiang Ziyu held him back.
Jiang Ziyu shouted, “Men, send the Ninth Prince to Longqi Temple.”
A White-robed Guard rushed over and carried Jiang Jian away.
Jiang Ziyu retracted his gaze and looked at the True Dragon on the Human Emperor’s Tablet with a smile.
Great Jing’s imperial dynasty was successful!
The True Dragon of Luck looked up to the sky and roared. In an instant, everyone in Great Jing, all the states and counties vaguely heard it.
Those who were skilled in martial arts could clearly sense the difference between heaven and earth, but they could not pinpoint it.
That day, the news that the Emperor had obtained the approval of the heavens and that Great Jing had become a Luck Dynasty quickly spread.
The commoners and martial artists in the capital discussed the group of martial artists who had died in the palace.
“Tsk tsk, I heard that there was a True God among the experts who attacked the palace today. There was not even the slightest sound of a battle. They just died the moment they entered.”
“That scary?”
“He’s more than a True God. My uncle said that he saw a Golden Body realm expert die in the palace. The Dao Ancestor took action, but he did not personally appear. In less than three breaths, hundreds of experts were all killed!”
“The Dao Ancestor is so powerful. As expected of an immortal who can move a mountain.”
“They’re all martial artists from other dynasties. They don’t believe in the might of the Dao Ancestor. A few days ago, when I said that the Dao Ancestor had moved a mountain, they even scolded me.”
Jiang Changsheng carried Jiang Jian into a room and placed him on the bed. Then, he used his spiritual energy to adjust the luck in his body. The reason why the kid fainted was because he had absorbed too much luck and his body could not withstand it.
“In the 25th year of the Qianwu Era, martial artists from all sides wanted to seize and destroy the luck of Great Jing. Fortunately, you stopped them. Great Jing successfully became a Luck Dynasty. You survived the calamity and obtained the survival reward—Spirit Treasure, Jade Bone Green Bamboo Forest.”
Looking at the notification in front of him, Jiang Changsheng raised his eyebrows. Why did it not reveal which forces it was? Was it because they were all from different forces, or were they not powerful?
Jiang Changsheng was only slightly puzzled before he inherited the memories of the Jade Bone Green Bamboo Forest.
The Jade Bone Green Bamboo Forest was similar to the Earth Spirit Tree. It could breed spiritual energy and the bamboo shoots contained the miraculous effect of nourishing muscles and bones.
Good stuff!
The more abundant the spiritual energy, the faster his cultivation speed would be.
As there were no other cultivators to compare to, Jiang Changsheng still did not know if his cultivation talent good or bad. However, it was a good thing if there was more spiritual energy.
At that moment, Jiang Jian frowned and revealed a painful expression.
Jiang Changsheng then noticed that his birthmark had started to bleed. The situation was not good..
