Chapter 131: Ancient God Residence, Jiang Luo Returns to the Capital
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Great Jing, Yu State, coastal area.
Jiang Luo stood on the deck and looked ahead. When he saw the outline of the land ahead, he smiled and said, “Master, we’re almost there.”
The Evil Lord followed him out of the ship and stood side by side with him, looking at the Dragon Vein Continent.
“The ship of the Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce is so fast. Even in the fog, it did not lose its way.” Jiang Luo lamented.
Back then when they went to Tianhai they had to circle around the ocean for several years before they succeeded in coming ashore.
The Evil Lord said, “After all, the Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce has been established in the ocean for eight hundred years. The seafaring skills they have mastered are beyond our imagination.”
Jiang Luo narrowed his eyes and said, “Master, why are there so many ships by the ocean? They look like military ships with many armored soldiers.”
The Evil Lord said indifferently, “Perhaps it’s Great Jing’s navy. Before we left, Great Jing was already rising rapidly, so it’s normal to develop a navy.”
Jiang Luo continued to stare at the ships.
As the ships got closer and closer to the coast, Jiang Luo suddenly saw the flags on the ships with the words “Donghai” written on them.
“Donghai?” Jiang Luo frowned.
The Evil Lord teased, “It should be the Donghai Dynasty. The Donghai Dynasty’s exploration of the ocean is the most successful among the many dynasties. Even Great Qi is far inferior. I didn’t expect the Donghai Dynasty to cross the ocean and come to the south of Great Jing. It seems like the two dynasties have gone to war.”
Jiang Luo frowned. He suddenly leaped up and dashed towards the navy of the Donghai Dynasty.
Flying in the air!
A True God!
The Evil Lord smiled and did not stop him as he looked forward to the upcoming massacre.
In a dream, Jiang Changsheng was sparring with Mu Lingluo.
The fifteen-year-old Mu Lingluo had grown up, and she was not much shorter than Jiang Changsheng. Her white clothes made her look tall and slender. She held a sword in her hand, and her movements were as fast as a swan. However, no matter how exquisite her swordsmanship was, she could not hurt Jiang Changsheng.
As Jiang Changsheng dodged, he commented, “Too slow… There’s very little killing intent… That’s right, you almost stabbed me just now…”
Mu Lingluo frowned. All of a sudden, her left hand changed into a hand gesture, and her aura surged as her speed suddenly increased.
Nine Gods Battle Technique!
She was already in the Divine realm, and with the help of the Nine Gods Battle Technique, her strength had skyrocketed. Even though her aura was not comparable to a True God, it was not something ordinary Divine realm experts could compare to.
The two of them sparred for nearly an hour, when suddenly Jiang Changsheng stretched out his right index finger and pressed it on her forehead. His left hand then grabbed her belt and lifted it, causing her to lose her balance and fall to the ground.
After landing on the ground, Mu Lingluo widened her eyes. Jiang Changsheng pressed his index finger on her forehead, preventing her from getting up. He stopped and stood up with a smile. “You lost again.”
Mu Lingluo curled her lips and slowly got up.
In this life, her appearance was devastatingly beautiful. Her facial features were exquisite, and her skin was as white as snow. She was much prettier than in her previous life. Her eyes and temperament were rather similar to Jiang Changsheng, and she had an indifferent expression. Perhaps it was because they had been together for too long that she had been influenced by Jiang Changsheng. Coupled with her white clothes, she had the temperament of a fairy that could not be blasphemed.
“This is your dream. If you really want to defeat me, you can dream of beating me,” Jiang Changsheng said with a smile.
Mu Lingluo snorted and said, “How boring would that be? When I couldn’t see you, I have dreamt about you, but that dream of you was so vague that it was not as real as this one.”
If Jiang Changsheng visited her in her dream, then her dream would be very real. She would still remember it after she woke up from the dream. This was also the basis for her judgment of Jiang Changsheng’s appearance. Precisely because of this, she felt that Jiang Changsheng was not someone she imagined, but someone that really existed. They were just connected in a dream, and no one knew.
The two of them walked to A tree and sat down. Jiang Changsheng began to listen to Mu Lingluo’s narration of the month.
She had broken the Mu family’s record for being the fastest to reach the Divine realm. As she grew up and became sensible, her status also began to rise. In the family, her power was higher than her parents. Coupled with her grandfather’s pampering, no one dared to bully her and had to please her.
“Recently, Grandfather wanted to send me to the Saint Mansion to train in martial arts. I heard that only peerless geniuses can enter the Saint Mansion. After leaving the Saint Mansion, no matter how bad they are, they can at least reach the Golden Body realm. With my talent, Grandfather feels that I can surpass him and reach the realm he has been yearning for.”
Mu Lingluo said with a frown.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and asked, “Isn’t this a good thing? Why don’t you want to go?”
Mu Lingluo looked at him and blinked. “I have you. I don’t think I need to go to the Saint Mansion. Moreover, my Mu family’s martial arts are not bad. It’s just that the true qi and martial arts resources in the Saint Mansion are more abundant. My family also hopes that I can befriend more prodigies and increase my family’s connections. I’m most afraid of trouble, sigh.”
This girl…
Jiang Changsheng felt that she was very similar to him…
It seemed like his teachings over the years had been effective.
Mu Lingluo suddenly asked curiously, “Brother Changsheng, where are you?
Are you a human or a ghost? If you are a human, can I find you in reality?”
Jiang Changsheng rubbed her head and smiled. “Of course I’m human, but I’m far away from you. I’m so far away that you can’t find me for the time being. When you’re strong enough, I’ll tell you where I am.”
Mu Lingluo nodded and said in all seriousness, “I will definitely find you.”
“Is that so? Then I’ll wait for you.”
Looking at his smile, Mu Lingluo blushed and turned her head away.
Looking at her appearance, Jiang Changsheng felt emotional.
Time passed so quickly. Unknowingly, this girl had also arrived at her prime.
Ever since she was young, he did not deliberately make Mu Lingluo like him. Other than sparring, he played a listening role most of the time. He did not have to instill the idea of making her like him since she was young. After all, he still had confidence.
The aura of an immortal cultivator was unique, and he still maintained the appearance of an eighteen-year-old. He believed that among the peers Mu Lingluo had met, there was no one more handsome and had better temperament than him. In terms of martial arts, they were even more incomparable.
That was the truth. Mu Lingluo was well-protected by the Mu family, and her standards were extremely high. She had never taken those geniuses of the family who were on good terms with the Mu family seriously.
As Jiang Changsheng thought, he asked, “Are there many Universe realm experts in the Saint Mansion?”
Mu Lingluo hugged her knees and pondered. “There should be a lot of them.
There are ten Universe realm experts in the Mu family alone, and the Saint Mansion is the holy land of martial arts. There must be countless of them.”
How terrifying.
Was this an advanced map?
Even though Jiang Changsheng was not much weaker than the strongest expert in the Ancient God Continent, it did not mean that the gap between the Dragon Vein Continent and the Ancient God Continent was not huge. According to Mu Lingluo, the martial arts world in the Ancient God Continent had been developing for tens of thousands of years and had even created various divine weapons. Some powerful divine weapons could even allow martial artists to kill enemies across realms. According to Mu Lingluo, the Mu family also had a teleportation array that was built with special spatial stones. It was simply magical.
It was not like the teleportation array in cultivation novels that required spirit stones. It was more like a technological space jump. As long as there was a space stone to build a teleportation array, it could be activated with true qi. However, space stones were extremely rare and not every family, sect, or dynasty had them.
The two of them continued to chat.
At noon, Jiang Jian sat in a medicinal cauldron and circulated his true qi while the Sword God added medicinal ingredients for him.
“These medicinal ingredients are really not simple. Could it be that the Dao Ancestor has moved away the assets of Xiansheng Grotto-heaven?”
The Sword God thought silently. Although Jiang Xiu often sent people to deliver medicinal ingredients used for martial arts practice, it could not be compared to what Jiang Changsheng had taken out.
Many medicinal ingredients tempted even him, the Sword God.
On the other side, Jiang Changsheng was also placing medicinal ingredients in front of a smaller medicinal cauldron. Bai Qi was lying inside the cauldron, and her eyes were filled with excitement as she stuck out her tongue like a dog.
Jiang Changsheng was prepared to help her break through.
She had been stuck at the True God Realm for too long, and she could not stand it anymore.
However, whether she could break through or not would depend on her luck.
The Sage Slaughterer had already reached the point of having a breakthrough, and Jiang Changsheng just pushed him forward.
Jiang Changsheng realized that True Gods were special and were restricted by special rules of the martial arts system. Perhaps that was the reason why only those who had reached the True God realm could increase their lifespan.
In the world of martial arts, the True God realm was the dividing line.
“I will temper your body for a month. If you fail, give up in the future,” Jiang Changsheng said casually.
When Bai Qi heard that, she became even more nervous.
If she failed, would she be chased down the mountain?
She was anxious. She made up her mind to break through.
At the same time.
In the imperial study.
When Jiang Xiu heard the White-robed Guards’ report, he revealed a look of joy and clapped his hands in joy. “It seems like the experts of Great Jing’s martial arts world have taken action. Hahaha, the Donghai Dynasty is courting death.
They even wanted to launch a sneak attack on my Yu State! ”
According to the White-robed Guards, the navy sent by the Donghai Dynasty was completely wiped out.
The God of Thieves frowned and said, “Your Majesty, there’s another situation that we have to be careful of. It is said that all the soldiers of the navy of the Donghai Dynasty have been sucked dry. Such a technique…’ Heavenly Cycle Divine Technique!
This technique was banned in the True Martial Pavilion!
Jiang Xiu frowned and said, “You mean the culprit might not have helped Great
Jing.”
The God of Thieves nodded and said, “Don’t forget about the Mahayana Dragon
Tower. I heard that the Mahayana Dragon Tower was defeated by the Dao Ancestor, but in fact, less than fifty martial artists from the Mahayana Dragon Tower have died in his hands.”
Jiang Xiu stood up and wandered around the room.
The God of Thieves waved his hand, indicating for the White-robed Guards to leave.
Jiang Xiu sighed and muttered, “You really don’t let me have a moment of peace. It seems like I’m not suitable for war. Once I start a war, I’ll get nervous and easily lose my mind.”
The God of Thieves was silent. He could understand Jiang Xiu. The Great Jing was huge, and Jiang Xiu had too many things to deal with. It was indeed difficult for him to worry about the front line.
Not everyone was as talented and brilliant as Jing Taizong. Moreover, during
Jing Taizong’s war expeditions, Jiang Xiu helped him deal with internal affairs. On the other hand, Jiang Xiu’s sons were incompetent and could not be of great use.
A eunuch walked in quickly and bowed. “Your Majesty, Branch Leader Zhang Ying of the Amazing Fate Merchant Guild has come. He claims to have brought something good that can help Your Majesty reverse the situation and defeat the Donghai Dynasty.”
When Jiang Xiu heard that, his eyes lit up and he said, “Quick, call him in.”
“Yes!”
The eunuch immediately turned around and left.
At dusk.
Jiang Luo and the Evil Lord walked into the capital and were surprised to see the bustling streets.
“The capital of Great Jing does not seem inferior to the dynasty of Great Qi.”
Jiang Luo lamented. He had always felt that Great Jing was lagging behind. Seeing it today, he was really surprised.
The Evil Lord nodded and said, “I have also underestimated the Great Jing Emperor’s ability to govern the dynasty.”
The two of them found an inn to stay in.
In the bedroom, the waiter fetched water and was about to leave when he was stopped by Jiang Luo.
Jiang Luo asked, “What do you think of the Emperor?”
Ever since they landed, they had rushed here directly. Along the way, they only asked for directions and did not know much about the current Great Jing.
Jiang Luo wanted to hear the citizens’ evaluation of his father..
