Chapter 181: Dynasty’s Value, Demons Gathering
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Facing the old man who claimed to be in the Three Grotto-heaven realm, Lin
Haotian’s heart was once again filled with despair.
He gritted his teeth and said, “You can kill me, but can you let it go?”
He pointed at the Sky Thunder Eagle beneath his feet. Even though they had not known each other for long, this demon beast had already established a deep relationship with him.
The Sky Thunder Eagle cried out again. Its eyes were sharp as it glared at the old man without any intention of retreating.
Lin Haotian was moved. Even though he had lost a lot along the way, he had also gained a lot. Some humans were willing to befriend him and even entrust their families to him. There were also demon beasts that were willing to be by his side in life and death.
Thinking of this, Lin Haotian suddenly felt relieved.
The old man’s gaze swept across the surroundings and coldly said, “Since your backer is unwilling to appear, then so be it!”
He raised his right hand and was about to attack when he suddenly felt something and looked up. His expression changed drastically.
The thunderclouds above were dispersed and a terrifying golden light descended with great heavenly might.
The fog of Longqi Mountain was pierced through. The citizens saw dozens of golden lights shooting out in succession, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it was an illusion.
This scene caused the commoners to discuss among themselves. Even the White-robed Guards reported it to the Emperor.
Emperor Shuntian took the memorial and casually asked, “How many times has it been?”
The White-robed Guards answered, “It has happened 73 times in the past half a year.”
“73 times. It seems like Great Jing has many enemies.”
Emperor Shuntian muttered to himself. He believed that the Dao Ancestor was not just playing around. There must be many powerful enemies who wanted to harm Great Jinx.
73 times…
Emperor Shuntian fell into deep thought. He realized that the struggle for the throne was far crueler than he had expected.
Emperor Shuntian suddenly ordered, “Send me Zhang Chenggang from the
Floating Island.”
“Yes!”
The White-robed Guard left.
However, Emperor Shuntian could no longer concentrate. He frowned, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Lin Haotian stood on the back of the Sky Thunder Eagle, trembling and dumbstruck. Even the Sky Thunder Eagle was shivering.
There was still residue of golden light in the surrounding space, and all the martial artists of the Chenlan Sect who surrounded them had died tragically. Other than the old man, all of them had died without an intact corpse. As for the old man, he only had his right hand hanging in the air.
Dozens of huge vortexes appeared in the ocean below, stirring up huge waves. It was difficult to calm down for a short period of time.
“A Three Grotto-heaven realm expert died just like that?”
Lin Haotian was stunned.
After a while, he came back to his senses. Excited, he began to flaunt his backing to the Sky Thunder Eagle.
“Hahaha, my backer is powerful, right?”
“Tsk tsk, no wonder the Elders of the Saint Mansion could not find Senior. It turns out that Senior has surpassed the Three Grotto-heaven realm!”
“How strong is Great Jing? Xiao Ying, did you see that? If you follow me, you won’t suffer!”
Lin Haotian danced with joy like a half-grown child.
His admiration for Jiang Changsheng reached the extreme. He was determined to obey this senior of his when they arrived at Great Jing.
On the other side.
Jiang Changsheng was extremely satisfied when he heard Lin Haotian’s thoughts.
He began to calculate the value of the Chenlan Sect.
[3,080,000 incense points will be consumed. Do you wish to continue?]
NO!
With the old man’s tragic death, the value of the Chenlan Sect decreased by a quarter. It was really tragic.
Jiang Changsheng silently hoped that the Chenlan Sect would give up just like that. After all, he did not want to destroy a sect because of personal hatred.
“Lin Haotian, Lin Haotian, grow up quickly. I will not always protect you. You will encounter more difficulties in the future.
Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes.
He waited for a long time, but he still did not see the survival reward.
This time, he felt a little regretful.
That was a Three Grotto-heaven realm expert, and killing one meant one less in the world. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do about it. The distance was too far, and it would be difficult for the other party to become his enemy.
21st year of the Shuntian Era, February, Spring.
Jiang Changsheng meditated under the tree while his consciousness was immersed in the Dao World.
Right now, the Dao World had formed a new world. The blue sky was covered with white clouds, and the plains were undulating. The dense forest added green to the world.
The Luoyu with a wingspan of ten thousand feet churned in the sea of clouds with White Dragon following behind it. In front of it, White Dragon seemed very small.
Jiang Changsheng’s consciousness looked at the Cloud Sky Divine Tree at the center of the continent. The tree had already grown, and clouds condensed on the top of it. Even though it was not the tallest tree in the forest, it was extremely eye-catching.
However, it would probably take many years for the Cloud Sky Divine Tree to grow to the height of the sky.
In the Dao World, Jiang Changsheng had planted many flowers and plants, and there was no lack of rare treasures. Some were the inheritance of Xiansheng Grotto-heaven, and some were given by the Emperor. There were many types. Right now, the Dao World no longer needed Jiang Changsheng to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It could stimulate the spiritual energy itself, allowing the Luoyu and White Dragon to survive, and even allowing Jiang Changsheng to cultivate.
Feeling the spiritual energy of the Dao World, Jiang Changsheng silently estimated that the laws of the Dao World had been brewing. Now, it had formed an ecological cycle. Spiritual energy was the foundation of the laws of the world. The more spiritual energy there was, the more living beings it could carry to survive here.
That was also the case in reality. However, the living beings in the martial arts world could not directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Therefore, the spiritual energy of the martial arts world was born. The spiritual energy of the martial arts world was evolved from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but it was not as pure as the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
This was what it meant to cultivate immortality. To master heaven and earth, the power of heaven and earth was one’s own strength, and man and nature were one.
Jiang Changsheng retracted his consciousness and opened his eyes.
Zhang Ying from the Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce came to visit. After he bowed to Ye Xun and the Sword God, he came to Jiang Changsheng and became even more respectful.
“Dao Ancestor, recently, traces of a Sovereign Dynasty have appeared in Tianhai City. Evidently, a Sovereign Dynasty has set their sights on Tianhai City, which will certainly cause a conflict with Great Jing.”
Zhang Ying said carefully.
Jiang Changsheng remained silent.
Zhang Ying continued, “According to the investigation of the Amazing Fate Merchant Guild, the nearest Sovereign Dynasty to the Dragon Vein Continent is the Fengtian Dynasty. The Fengtian Dynasty has been established for thousands of years and has dominated both continents. The foundation of martial artists is unimaginable. A few years ago, the Fengtian Dynasty even subdued the Sword Court. The Sword Court is the number one sect in the nearby sea.”
Sword Court!
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and the Sword God looked over.
Previously, the Sword Court had come to recruit the Sword God, but in the end, the Sword Master did not come personally. They had almost forgotten about this.
Jiang Changsheng silently asked in his heart.
“How powerful is the Fengtian Dynasty?”
[32,018,070 incense points will be consumed. Do you wish to continue?]
NO!
Thirty million incense points was indeed high.
However, 30 million incense points were not a true representation of their strength. That was because the number of martial artists in a dynasty far exceeded the number of martial artists in a sect. The sect took the path of elites, while the former took the path of the masses.
In addition, the value of incense points of large factions had stopped being in neat numbers. Could it be that the system had become stronger and more detailed?
Jiang Changsheng thought curiously and continued to ask in his heart.
“How powerful is Great Jing now?”
[1,939,200 incense points will be consumed. Do you wish to continue?]
NO!
1,930 ,ooo incense points. The difference was huge, but it was normal. A Divine realm expert was only worth hundreds of incense points, and it was hard for a True God to exceed 2,000 incense points.
Great Jing’s territory was also huge. Its length exceeded 300,000 miles, and there were billions of citizens. With the promotion of martial arts, the number of martial artists exceeded 100 million, but most of them were weak.
From this, it could be seen that even though the lowest value of the incense calculation was one point, the weakest strength of a martial artist was far lower than one point.
Jiang Changsheng did not enjoy the luck of Great Jing, so he was not included.
Ye Xun was the same.
This also proved the importance of the martial artist realm.
A sect with a net worth of 1.9 million incense points was definitely stronger than Great Jing. That was because the sect did not have billions of commoners and low-level martial artists.
If Jiang Changsheng did not take action, Great Jing would be throwing an egg against a rock in the face of the Fengtian Dynasty.
Zhang Ying continued to talk about information regarding the Fengtian Dynasty. It was said that Emperor Fengtian was also in the Grotto-heaven realm, which was also a strange thing. No one knew how he did it. Although after a Luck Dynasty was promoted to a Sovereign Dynasty, the lifespan of the emperor would increase, but there was still a limit. Normally, the emperor of a Sovereign Dynasty would not live past 200 years old.
Jiang Changsheng thought of Great Qi. Decades ago, Great Qi became a Sovereign Dynasty. After their advancement, they had always kept a low profile and did not have any contact with Great Jing.
He did some calculations. The value of incense points of Great Qi barely exceeded a million, far lower than Great Jing.
How did Great Qi become the Sovereign Dynasty?
Jiang Changsheng suddenly felt that something was amiss. He asked, “Can you get someone to investigate if there’s a connection between Great Qi and Fengtian?”
Zhang Ying was stunned. He frowned and said, “You mean that Great Qi might be Fengtian’s chess piece?”
Jiang Changsheng said, “Although Great Jing is stronger, Great Jing is only a
Luck Dynasty, and its luck is inferior to Great Qi. But Fengtian decided to deal with Great Jing, instead of Great Qi, which is weaker, when I am here. Do you think it’s reasonable?”
Zhang Ying seemed to have woken up from a dream and came to a sudden realization. “No wonder the Tianhai Chamber of Commerce was rejected when they wanted to enter Great Qi in the past. It turns out that Great Qi has been in contact with the other forces in the ocean. I’ll order someone to investigate now.”
He hastily bowed and turned to leave.
In terms of intelligence gathering ability at the ocean, Great Jing was far inferior to the Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce.
In fact, Jiang Changsheng could use incense points to calculate, but it would cost millions of incense points. Looking at the price tag, it was not worth it.
“It seems like Great Jing is going to be lively again.”
The Sword God chuckled. Ever since the last war against the Donghai Dynasty, he had also begun to look forward to Great Jing encountering stronger opponents so that he could spar with experts.
They could not just train in martial arts in solitude. They had to compare notes. Ye Xun said, “The Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty is located in the vast ocean to
the east of the Dragon Vein Continent. I wanted to go there in the past, but it’s too far away. If a Two or Three Grotto-heaven realm expert were to come out, I’m willing to fight them.”
Jiang Changsheng remained silent.
Even though Ye Xun meant well, he could not give in!
Since he had nothing better to do, Jiang Changsheng decided to continue calculating the strength of the world.
The strongest expert in the system’s known range had finally exceeded ten million incense points. From the somewhat odd value, it seemed like the new strongest expert had brought people with him. God knows where they were.
Moreover, the value of the strongest expert in the nearby waters had skyrocketed to three million incense points. No one knew if they were passing by.
At present, the system was still unable to calculate the existence of the supreme demon race and the Sacred Dynasty. Jiang Changsheng suddenly suspected that it was because the luck of the Sacred Dynasty was too strong that the system was unable to analyze it.
That was possible.
The system’s detection speed was not slow, but it seemed to be related to his strength. The stronger he was, the stronger its detection ability would be.
Spring passed and autumn came. Five years passed.
The 26th year of the Shuntian Era.
For the past five years, Great Jing did not have any conflict with the Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty. Great Jing was busy expanding its control over the ocean, and the number of islands they had occupied had exceeded 500. After five years of accumulation, the number of ships they had had reached an extremely large number, and many influential figures had emerged in the martial arts world.
In the dream that night, Mu Lingluo told Jiang Changsheng something.
“Brother Changsheng, I’m leaving the Saint Mansion. The family asked me to return because the demon beasts on the Ancient God Continent have started to gather. The situation is not good..”
