Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiang Changsheng thought for a moment and used his spiritual energy to wake Xiao Duotian up again. Xiao Duotian was hanging on by a thread by the
Rejuvenation Technique and had only fainted from excitement.
This time, Jiang Changsheng used the Phantom God’s Eyes to hypnotize Xiao
Duotian and asked for the address of the Chao Sect of the Mahayana Dragon Tower. Xiao Duotian answered truthfully, and Jiang Changsheng recorded some details before letting Xiao Duotian die.
He then called Wang Chen in and asked him to drag his corpse out.
Wang Chen moved carefully and glanced at Jiang Changsheng with reverence. Even though he had seen Jiang Changsheng’s shocking battles several times, today’s battle still refreshed his understanding of him.
Too powerful!
Jiang Changsheng waited for a while before a line of words finally appeared in front of him.
[In the 2nd year of the Qianwu Era, Xiao Duotian of the Mahayana Dragon Tower attacked with 32 True God realm experts. You successfully survived their siege and survived a calamity. You have obtained a survival reward—Ziwei Imprisoning Heaven Divine Dao Palm.]
An ultimate immortal technique!
Jiang Changsheng smiled. The Bright Sun Tathagata was also an immortal technique. Its strength was so great that he naturally looked forward to more powerful immortal techniques.
He began to inherit the Ziwei Heaven Imprisoning Divine Dao Palm. Soon, his expression changed.
Although it was said to imprison the heavens, once it was cultivated to great success, it could really imprison the heavens!
Of course, the so-called great success also required great success in one’s cultivation.
Jiang Changsheng silently comprehended this ultimate immortal technique.
At the same time, Longqi Mountain attracted the attention of many martial artists, high-ranking officials, and nobles. They watched as the disciples of Longqi Temple buried the people from the Mahayana Dragon Tower.
The Hero’s Tomb was filled with peerless experts whose names shook the world of martial artists. Ji Que from Tianshan Mountain, Yan Long from Killing Blade, Daoist Tian Gang, Divine Monk Juexin, and so on. These tombstones made the blood of the martial artists boil.
“The number one person in the martial arts world of Great Jing. There’s no controversy about it, right?”
“Not only is he the number one, he’s clearly the number one person since ancient times!”
“However, the Mahayana Dragon Tower has given me a new understanding of martial arts.”
“Yeah, I suddenly feel that we were just playing around in the past.”
“Perhaps the martial arts world of Great Jing is really going to soar.”
Not only were there discussions on Longqi Mountain, but it was the same in the capital.
The martial artists from the other sects quickly left, afraid that Jiang Changsheng would discover them.
At night, Jiang Changsheng sneaked into the palace, transformed into a sparrow and entered the imperial study. Then, he transformed back, revealing his true form.
Jiang Ziyu, who was reviewing the memorials, was shocked.
“You… how did you appear just now?”
Jiang Ziyu asked with a trembling voice as his eyes widened. If he was not wrong, a sparrow had flown in just now and he had even glanced at it.
Could it be that his father was a sparrow?
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “It’s just a smokescreen.”
Jiang Ziyu did not believe it. He kept feeling that Jiang Changsheng could really change his figure. In today’s battle, not only were the martial arts practitioners and commoners shocked, but even he was the same. In his heart, Jiang Changsheng was definitely not an ordinary person.
Jiang Changsheng came to the table and said, “If you want to truly promote martial arts, you still need a large number of ultimate techniques. I found out the address of the Chao Sect and the location of the Tibetan Martial Arts from Xiao Duotian. Take note of it and send someone to search later.”
Hearing this, Jiang Ziyu hurriedly put down the memorial, took out a pen and paper, and seriously noted it down.
After Jiang Changsheng finished speaking, Jiang Ziyu looked at the address on the paper and was overwhelmed with emotions.
Although the Mahayana Dragon Tower had suffered a crushing defeat, he had witnessed its strength with his own eyes. If he could control such a martial arts faction, he would not have to worry about not sweeping through the world and annexing the surrounding dynasties!
Jiang Changsheng took out a piece of paper and said, “Help me collect the medicinal herbs on this piece of paper. The more, the better.”
Jiang Ziyu took it and asked curiously, “What are these for?”
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “An immortal visited me in my dream and gave me a pill manual. I want to see if I can successfully refine it.”
Jiang Ziyu nodded. Although he had something to say, he still held it in.
Then, Jiang Changsheng turned into a sparrow in front of him and flew out of the window, leaving him dumbfounded.
In the blink of an eye.
After half a year, the storm of the decisive battle between Jiang Changsheng and the Mahayana Dragon Tower finally subsided, but the Underworld became even more lively.
“Tsk tsk, Daoist Master, your reputation has completely spread to the other dynasties. All kinds of rankings have appeared in the martial arts world, such as the top ten martial grandmasters, the top ten sect masters, the top ten swordsmen, and so on. However, you are unique and are called the Martial
God.”
Eunuch Li sat beside Jiang Changsheng and said excitedly. The more famous Jiang Changsheng was, the more face he would have.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “It’s just an empty title.”
Although he said that, the corners of his mouth were curled up. He could also feel his reputation increasing. In just half a year, his incense value had increased by five times and was still increasing.
He had profited greatly from this battle!
Eunuch Li added, “My subordinates discovered that the Mahayana Dragon Tower did not disband because of this. There are still a large number of experts active. It’s really too difficult to eradicate the Mahayana Dragon Tower. After all, they are a thousand-year-old holy land. No one knows how many successors they have.”
Jiang Changsheng naturally knew this. After all, the Mahayana Dragon Tower only sent a group of old experts. There were no young disciples of the Mahayana Dragon Tower participating in the battle half a year ago.
The Mahayana Dragon Tower seemed to be facing death, but it actually had a backup plan.
Eunuch Li said some more information before leaving.
Jiang Changsheng stood up and sat in front of the medicinal cauldron. He said, “The medicinal pill is almost ready. Bai Qi, prepare to test the medicine.”
Hearing this, Bai Qi trembled and got up from the ground. It forced a smile and said, “Can you let this servant delay for a while? Your medicine has tormented this servant…”
In the beginning, it was still very excited. However, there was one time when it consumed a medicinal pill, and the domineering medicinal force almost caused its body to explode and die. Fortunately, Jiang Changsheng took action. Ever since that time, it had a psychological trauma.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “The medicinal pill this time is not that domineering. Try it.”
Bai Qi felt pain in its heart, but it did not dare to continue refusing. It could only brace itself and agree.
Jiang Changsheng opened the lid of the cauldron and sucked out three pills from afar. He then handed one pill to Bai Qi. Bai Qi took a deep breath and swallowed it. Its entire body was tense, afraid that something would happen again.
However, this time, it only felt that the medicinal pill melted in its throat. Its entire body was cool and extremely comfortable. It widened its eyes and realized that its senses had become clearer.
It looked at Jiang Changsheng in disbelief and asked, “Daoist Master, what medicine is this?” Jiang Changsheng chuckled and said, “It’s called the Spirit Nurturing Pill.”
“Sprit Nurturing Pill…
Bai Qi repeated this name to understand the pill’s name.
In half a year, Jiang Changsheng had already refined four types of medicinal pills. In addition to the Spirit Nurturing Pills, he had also refined Marrow Cleansing Pills that could strengthen his meridians and physique. He had already let the people he cared about consume them, including Jiang Ziyu.
After consuming the Marrow Cleansing Pill, everyone displayed stronger martial arts aptitude. Even Hua Jianxin had been engrossed in martial arts recently.
However, Jiang Changsheng realized that even if they took the Marrow
Cleansing Pill, there was no qualitative leap in their cultivation of the Heavenly Scripture of the Universe. They could not even perfect the Heavenly Scripture of the Universe, let alone cultivate immortality.
Huang Chuan, who was the most talented, had once said that he would always feel a sense of oppression when he broke through, as if he would turn into ashes.
Jiang Changsheng guessed that this was the rule of martial arts in the world. After all, this was a world of martial arts.
This was also good. Since only he could cultivate, it would allow him to ensure his advantage.
As for the people around them dying of old age in the future, there was nothing he could do. At the very least, Jiang Changsheng had let them live happily and better in this life. He had treated them welll in this life and even imprinted the Mark of Reincarnation on them. If they were fated, they would always meet again over the long years.
Jiang Changsheng even had an idea that he could use his incense value to calculate someone’s reincarnation. This way, he would be able to find them in the sea of people.
Jiang Changsheng got up and returned to his room. He began to consume the Spirit Nurturing Pill. The true function of the Spirit Nurturing Pill was to strengthen the divine sense of a cultivator. Bai Qi did not cultivate, so he could only strengthen his five senses.
The days passed peacefully. Jiang Changsheng cultivated every day and occasionally took the time to refine pills. His disciples had already grown up, so he did not need to worry. He just needed to give them some pointers from time to time.
In the 3rd year of the Qianwu Era, just after the new spring, a large number of White-robed Guards escorted carriages back to the capital, causing the commoners to watch and discuss.
The next month, the Emperor established the True Martial Pavilion in the capital and issued an edict to the world. Anyone who obtained a martial arts scholarship could enter the True Martial Pavilion to choose an ultimate techniques according to their results. He had also announced the origin of the True Martial Pavilion, the martial arts treasure vault of the Mahayana Dragon Tower!
For a moment, all the martial artists in the world were fanatical and signed up for the martial arts examinations everywhere.
In just a year, more than 200,000 martial artists were recorded in the court.
The trend of martial arts spread to every corner of the thirteen prefectures. Even the cowherd children knew how to box and dance in the fields.
The martial arts world of Great Jing were strengthening at a visible speed, making the surrounding dynasties uneasy.
4th year of the Qianwu Era.
The Empress finally gave birth to a dragon son, and they were twin brothers. It was a joyous matter that spread throughout the world. With the Emperor having a descendant, the Jing Dynasty would be more stable.
Jiang Changsheng did not have any expectations for his two biological grandsons, but Hua Jianxin often went to the palace to visit. On this day.
The Four Seas Sage came to visit with a baby in his arms.
Jiang Changsheng sensed that the baby’s aura was somewhat similar to his, so he knew what was going on.
After Wang Chen left with his disciples, only Jiang Changsheng, the Four Seas Sage, and Bai Qi were left in the courtyard. They were enjoying the worship of the devotees.
“This is the current Second Prince, Jiang Luo. With His Majesty’s approval, I will bring him out of Great Jing and head to Xiansheng Grotto-heaven to practice martial arts.”
The Four Seas Sage placed the swaddled baby on the table and stroked his beard. He looked at Jiang Luo with love.
Jiang Changsheng noticed that there was also a Dao pattern birthmark between Jiang Luo’s eyebrows.
He said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you to take care of him.”
The Four Seas Sage smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve watched His Majesty rise in power, and our relationship is even closer than Jiang Yuan’s. Jiang Luo will be raised by me in the future, so I will naturally treat him as my own son.
However, after this farewell, Jiang Luo will probably not be able to meet the
Emperor again for decades.”
Jiang Changsheng was silent as he stared at Jiang Luo, thinking about something.
The Four Seas Sage mustered his courage and said, “Immortal Master Changsheng, why don’t you follow me to the Xiansheng Grotto-heaven? Your strength has already surpassed the sects in the surrouding ten dynasties. If you stay here, although you are strong, your martial arts realm will not increase.” Jiang Changsheng shook his head and smiled. “Thank you for your kind intentions, but I still don’t want to go.”
What a joke. I just cleared the beginner village, so why should I follow you to a high-level map?
Jiang Changsheng was not interested in going to the Xiansheng Grotto-heaven.
He only needed to guard his territory and focus on cultivation to continuously become stronger.
The Four Seas Sage said, “The higher the martial arts realm, the longer your lifespan will increase. If you stay here, how long can you guard the dynasty? A hundred years? Two hundred years?”
Jiang Changsheng asked curiously, “Can martial artists live forever?”
The Four Seas Sage rolled his eyes and said, “Immortal Master, don’t joke.
There are no immortals in this world. Martial arts only increases one’s lifespan. Since ancient times, the one who lived the longest was the Martial Ancestor. He lived for 800 years, but that was thousands of years ago. The longest living martial arts expert I’ve seen has only lived for more than 300 years. That old senior is really an immortal existence in the world. Unfortunately, he has already passed away.”
When Jiang Changsheng heard that, he heaved a sigh of relief..
