Chapter 104: Realm of a Million Incense Points

The brocade bag that Jiang Changsheng had given Huang Chuan was a
Golden-scaled Jade Leaf. It was different from the beans used in the Scattering Beans into Soldiers Technique. The Golden-scaled Jade Leaf was a magical weapon that he could control. He wanted to test if he could get survival rewards for killing enemies from afar.
After he broke through to the seventh level of the Dao Technique, his divine consciousness had undergone a transformation. He had left a trace of divine consciousness on the Golden-scaled Jade Leaf. Once this trace of divine consciousness was activated, it could only exist for the time for an incense stick to burn. Therefore, he told Huang Chuan not to use it in advance so that he could lock onto that Golden Body realm expert.
The effect of his divine consciousness was equivalent to Jiang Changsheng’s eyes. He could control the Golden-scaled Jade Leaf to lock onto the enemy from hundreds of thousands of miles away. Even if his divine consciousness dissipated, he could make the Golden-scaled Jade Leaf fly back with a thought. This was the power of a magic weapon.
In the time for an incense stick to burn, relying on the Golden-scaled Jade Leaf was enough to kill a Golden Body realm expert!
This was the difference between cultivation and martial arts. Immortal cultivation was not only powerful in terms of the physical body, but also the soul. As for martial arts, it only focused on the physical body. At the very least, the martial arts realm he came into contact with did not involve the soul. If they did not train their soul, they would not be able to sense the essence of heaven and earth!
Jiang Changsheng looked at Jiang Jian who had begun to train and thought, “When can a Universe realm expert come? Let me see how powerful such an expert is.”
The martial arts in this world were not low-level martial arts. It was obviously fantasy martial arts. As he had always stayed in Longqi Temple, the gap between the realms of the martial artists he came into contact with would not be too large.
At the very least, on this land, the Universe realm was a legend that few people knew.
If he did not have the survival system and could not cultivate, perhaps he would have to go to the Xiansheng Grotto-heaven to cultivate. When the
Xiansheng Grotto-heaven could not satisfy him, he would have to go overseas and constantly change his environment. At that time, the realm of the martial artists he could come into contact with would also increase.
Just the thought of it was tiring.
Fortunately, he was cultivating immortality.
Jiang Changsheng thought silently.
Since he had nothing better to do, he decided to play with the incense calculations.
“Current incense points: 4630032”
“I want to know how powerful the Universe realm is.” [Requires 10,000 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]
The Universe realm was worth 10,000 incense points.
From the looks of it, the incense points did not represent the combat strength value. It was only the price of one’s realm.
Jiang Changsheng had another thought.
“I’d like to know how powerful the Three Grotto-heaven realm is.”
[Requires 1,000,000 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]
NO!
One million incense points!
Other than him, the strongest martial artist in the continent was only worth 90,000 incense points. The difference was obvious.
Comfortable!
Jiang Changsheng thought of Tianhai where the Four Seas Sage was. “I want to know how powerful the strongest martial artist in Tianhai is.”
[Requires 150,000 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]
NO!
Tsk tsk, there was actually a martial artist stronger than the strongest person of this continent in the Tlanhai. It seemed like the martial arts world on the other side of the ocean was stronger.
Jiang Changsheng rejoiced. Fortunately, the continent he was in was not strong. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous.
Up until now, the system had not been able to cover the entire martial arts world. Since the Three Grotto-heaven realm existed, there must be experts hiding somewhere.
“It’s the safest to stay in Great Jing and constantly break through to a stronger realm.”
Jiang Changsheng thought to himself. He asked some more questions, but he always rejected the confirmation. Even though he did not get a clear answer, he could more or less guess the answer he wanted.
In a prosperous city, Jiang Luo sat by a window on the second floor of the inn, quietly drinking. He looked at the street quietly. No one knew what he was
thinking.
.
After so many years, he had changed a lot. He exuded a dangerous aura from head to toe, and the blood-red birthmark between his eyebrows made him look even more murderous.
A figure sitting opposite him interrupted his thoughts.
Jiang Luo turned his head and asked, “Master, how’s the situation?”
Sitting opposite him was a white-haired man. He did not look old and looked to be in his thirties or forties. He wore a wide white robe.
Other than the two of them, there were no other guests on the second floor, so Jiang Luo dared to ask directly.
The white-haired man calmly said, “The dragon vein in Great Qi is not easy to touch. I didn’t expect Great Qi to build the imperial city on top of the dragon vein. Moreover, they have already opened the tunnel, so it’s too difficult to steal the luck of their dragon vein. We can only change the target.’
Jiang Luo frowned and asked, “Is Great Qi that powerful? You are in the Golden Body realm.”
As far as he knew, it was not bad for a dynasty to have a True God. Most dynasties only appointed someone in the Divine realm as their Grandmaster.
The white-haired man said, “Great Qi also has a Golden Body realm expert. Speaking of which, he is also my senior uncle.”
“Is he also from the Xiansheng Grotto-heaven?”
Jiang Luo’s frown deepened. At the mention of Xiansheng Grotto-heaven, his eyes were filled with hatred.
The white-haired man nodded as he poured himself a cup of wine. “That’s right. The origin of martial arts in this continent originates from Xiansheng Grotto-heaven. Those who have reached the Golden Body realm more or less have a relationship with Xiansheng Grotto-heaven. This is the foundation of Xiansheng Grotto-heaven. They are not afraid of the rise of Chao Sects and do not need to control the world.”
When Jiang Luo heard that, he also poured himself a cup of wine and gulped it down.
The white-haired man smiled and said, “I understand that you want to avenge your former master, but there’s no need to be anxious. I also want to take revenge on Xiansheng Grotto-heaven. Rest assured, that day will come sooner or later.”
Jiang Luo asked, “Master, how many years has your cultivation reached?”
“Nearly a thousand years.”
The white-haired man revealed a confident smile. He paused for a moment before he said, “The realm above the Golden Body realm is no longer an extravagant hope. Finish this cup of wine and head south. At that time, I will let you absorb other people’s strength so that you can step into the True God realm as soon as possible.”
When Jiang Luo heard about the True God realm, he looked forward to it.
The war between Great Jing and Great Wilderness did not break out. Ordinary people did not know about the Golden Body realm phenomenon, so the commoners thought that the Emperor had changed his mind.
Great Wilderness did not launch an attack immediately. The two great armies entered a strange state of peaceful coexistence.
Both dynasties were sending a large number of troops to the border to guard against each other.
The four seasons alternated.
The 37th year of the Qianwu had arrived. It was a sunny day in June.
Jiang Changsheng came to the Jade Bone Green Bamboo Forest for a walk. After growing for twelve years, the bamboo forest had matured greatly, which meant that it had been twelve years since Great Jing became a Luck Dynasty.
The bamboo forest did not look much different from ordinary bamboo forests, but Jiang Changsheng could sense the spiritual energy that made him feel relaxed and happy.
The spiritual energy produced by the Jade Bone Green Bamboo Forest and the Earth Spirit Tree surrounded Longqi Mountain, turning it into a training ground.
When Wang Chen, who was guarding the bamboo forest, saw Jiang Changsheng walking over, he immediately stood up. However, because he stood up too quickly, he twisted his waist and showed a painful expression.
Suddenly, Jiang Changsheng appeared in front of him out of thin air and used his spiritual energy to treat his injuries before helping him sit down.
The old Wang Chen forced a smile and said, “When one is old, it is easy to sprain oneself.”
As a former fake prince, he was born in the same year as Jiang Changsheng and was now 87 years old. Due to his mediocre martial arts talent, he missed the best age to practice martial arts. His realm was not high, so his lifespan was naturally the same as an ordinary person.
In the past two years, Wang Chen had been prepared to face death. He was well aware that he had survived for so long thanks to Jiang Changsheng’s medicinal pills.
Everyone had their own limit. Some people could live to a hundred years old, but most ordinary people could only live to seventy to eighty years old.
Jiang Changsheng sat down beside him and chatted with him about the past.
Speaking of his experience as a crown prince back then, Wang Chen’s expression turned for the better. He smiled and said, “I have been a crown prince in my life and experienced the excitement of power struggles. It is my honor to be able to follow you and train. Although it is plain, it is not boring. I feel that time is slow. This life is long enough. Even if I fall tomorrow, I will be satisfied.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “It’s good that you think that way. When people come, they come with nothing. When they leave, they want to go with nothing to worry about.”
Wang Chen nodded and suddenly said, “Daoist Master, in fact, you are the first crown prince of Great ling- Even though von did not reveal it. T can tell that the answer is obvious since Mother had moved here and the Yang Family had supported your disciple.”
Jiang Changsheng’s expression did not change and he did not deny it.
“The Emperor was very similar to you when he was young, and it was even more so when it came to the Crown Prince. If I’m not wrong, you’re not only the real Crown Prince back then, but you’ve also used the same method to return the favor. The current Emperor is your son.”
“You abandoned your identity as the crown prince and lived in a Daoist temple, but you were able to dominate the wind and clouds of Great Jing. As expected of an immortal. Wang Chen admires you and is very grateful. I am only grateful to whoever saves me in this world, but I feel very guilty when you saved me. Therefore, I am willing to keep this secret for you. Until now, when I am about to leave this world, I will not have the chance to say much.”
Jiang Changsheng quietly listened to Wang Chen talk to himself. As he spoke,
Wang Chen’s voice became softer and softer and his head got lower and lower.
In fact, he had long wanted to find an opportunity to chat with Jiang Changsheng. However, he usually saw Jiang Changsheng cultivating and was too embarrassed to disturb him. With this thought in mind, he relied on medicinal pills to last for a few more years.
Listening to Wang Chen, Jiang Changsheng was also recalling the first half of his life.
When he was young, he hated the fake prince and even thought of finding an opportunity to kill him. However, when he really met Wang Chen, he realized that he was not the only one who was pitiful. Wang Chen was even more pitiful than him.
Even though Jiang Yuan had abandoned him, he would still think of ways to let him live. Those aristocrats who took advantage of the situation to harm him had been eliminated by Jiang Yuan after the calamity of the Devil Sect. This could be considered as revenge for him.
As for Wang Chen, he was truly an orphan. Even if he struggled in vain, he would only die.
Even though he was a fake prince, Wang Chen still preserved the backbone of the Jiang Family’s imperial family for Jiang Changsheng before he almost died in that rebellion.
Time flew by. Jiang Changsheng was used to Wang Chen’s company. He was used to watching him sweep the floor every day and serving him tea and water.
Unknowingly, they had become family, family that was not related by blood.
Jiang Changsheng remembered that the Empress had asked him to take care of Wang Chen before she died. She did not know that the ugly Daoist in the courtyard was Wang Chen, but she knew that Jiang Changsheng had saved the fake crown prince. She said that he was a poor person and should not bear hatred.
For Wang Chen, time was slow, but for Jiang Changsheng, time was very fast.
Old friends left one after another, and only time could accompany him.
Wang Chen’s head suddenly leaned against Jiang Changsheng’s shoulder, and his voice was extremely weak- “If there’s really a next life_ T still want to accompany you… sweep your courtyard… accompany you in your cultivation…
enjoy the years together… and be quiet…
Wang Chen’s hands fell weakly and his voice stopped abruptly. He leaned against Jiang Changsheng’s shoulders as if he had fallen asleep.
Jiang Changsheng looked up and saw the blue sky through the bamboo forest.
He whispered, “There will be a chance.”
He suddenly realized that he was a nostalgic person. In the past, he always felt that the people around him were just passers-by of life. However, if he accompanied them for a long time, he realized he would be reluctant to part with them..
