Ocean

Under Jiang Changsheng’s gaze, Jiang Qing’s soul continuously rose into the sky and moved further and further away from the ground. It was evident that there was a mysterious force pulling him.

When Jiang Qing flew to a height that even the sea of clouds could not reach, he suddenly disappeared.

Even Jiang Changsheng’s spiritual will could not sense him.

Too bad.

Jiang Changsheng retracted his gaze and could only give up.

He was still not strong enough to comprehend the rules of heaven and earth.

Once he reached the tenth level of the Dao Technique, he should be able to start comprehending the rules.

The next day, the Emperor issued an edict to the world, announcing that Emperor Changle had passed away. His posthumous name was Emperor Zhaole, and he was known as Emperor Jing Zhao.

The state funeral lasted for three months, and all parts of Skyview Land mourned for him.

Even though it was a state funeral, the Emperor, Jiang Liu, did not rest. He promoted a large number of young civil officials. Compared to the previous emperors, he was more ambitious. However, his actions were too inflexible and he had offended many aristocratic families.

In the current Great Jing, it was very difficult for the ruler and the officials to be of the same mind.

In less than half a year, Jiang Liu quieted down.

On the bloody ground, Jiang Jian, Lin Haotian, Ping’an, and Ling Feng moved forward.

Ling Feng looked at the surrounding pile of skeletons and was extremely nervous. There were a lot of skeletons of different races present, but for the time being, he had yet to see any human skeletons.

“It should be in this direction. Are we really going there?”

Jiang Jian said. The further he went, the stronger his sense of crisis was.

Lin Haotian said, “Nothing ventured, nothing gained. It’s even more dangerous to stay here. I suspect that this is the granary of a powerful existence. So many skeletons must have been thrown in here. Since we haven’t met the owner of this place, it means that he hasn’t returned yet. We have to escape before he returns.”

After Jiang Jian heard that, he felt that it made sense and did not ask further.

“There’s something ahead!”

Ling Feng suddenly spoke with a horrified tone.

Jiang Jian and Lin Haotian looked over and noticed that a tall mountain had appeared out of thin air at the end of the vision. It towered into the clouds. As they were too far away, they could not see what it was.

However, what was certain was that before Ling Feng opened his mouth, that thing had yet to appear.

Without any movement, it appeared out of thin air…

Jiang Jian and Lin Haotian were ready to fight.

Right at this moment!

The mountain at the end of their sights suddenly disappeared. It was so fast that Jiang Jian and Lin Haotian could not even keep up with it.

Lin Haotian frowned. All of a sudden, he sensed something and shouted, “Dodge!”

Jiang Jian and Ping’an immediately jumped away. Ping’an also grabbed Ling Feng along the way. They scattered like arrows as a terrifyingly huge mountain fell from the sky.

Boom!

The wind and waves rolled up and dispersed piles of bones. However, the ground did not tremble because the bottom of the mountain did not touch the ground.

Jiang Jian looked over and could not help but be shocked.

How was this a mountain? It was clearly a finger!

It was a finger that was comparable to a mountain. Its diameter was hundreds of meters wide and its skin was dark-colored. It looked as hard as a mountain. Jiang Jian, Lin Haotian, and Ling Feng were all frightened and looked up one after another.

With a glance, they were almost frightened to death.

They looked up at the huge finger and saw a hole in the sea of clouds. It was as if a huge hole had appeared in the sky. In the darkness, a pair of cold eyes stared at them. The pupils were dark red, similar to two blood moons.

Jiang Jian and the others were frightened. They could not imagine how huge the other party was.

“Immemorial Venerable…’

Lin Haotian muttered with a gloomy expression.

He immediately shouted to Jiang Jian and Ping’an, “Hurry up and hide!”

They quickly dodged, and the huge finger disappeared. In fact, it did not disappear. It had just retracted into the sky at an extremely fast speed.

They quickly flew into a canyon, and the huge finger did not appear again. The cold eyes in the sky also disappeared.

An hour later.

Hiding inside the canyon walls, the four of them were still frightened.

“He did not attack again. It seems like he only wants to stop us from advancing.”

Jiang Jian said with a gloomy expression. That finger was enough to make them lose their fighting will.

Lin Haotian took a deep breath and said, “At the very least, we know that we can only go in that direction if we want to get out. That guy should be an Immemorial Venerable. In the memories I inherited, the Martial Emperor had encountered an Immemorial Venerable. Every time an Immemorial Venerable appeared on the battlefield, they would bring about destructive power that could destroy the world. I’m not exaggerating. It’s really destructive. It’s just that the Great Wilderness is large enough. If it were placed on any continent in the endless ocean, it would be easy for such existence to flatten it.” Jiang Jian frowned and asked, “Immemorial Venerable? Is that a realm or a race?”

Lin Haotian shook his head and said, “I’m not sure, but that Martial Emperor encountered more than one Immemorial Venerable. Even he would have a hard time taking one down.”

Even Martial Emperors would find it hard to take down…

Jiang Jian’s heart sank to the bottom of the cliff. What kind of place had they come to?

He sighed and said, “Let’s wait and see. At least the other party has no intention of killing us. Otherwise, they would not have stopped just like that.”

Lin Haotian nodded.

Ling Feng did not interrupt and just stared blankly at the sky.

Ping’an touched his chest and bared his teeth.

In the 2nd year of the Yan Yuan Era, the dynasty was stable and the world had accepted the arrival of a new era.

After Jiang Liu ascended the throne, he began to expand Shuntian City. It was rumored that he wanted to move the capital.

At the beginning of April, Li Jun came to visit and informed him of the matter.

Li Jun forced a smile and said, “Our emperor is indeed ambitious, but he is also overconfident. He wants to move to Shuntian City, which is closer to the Great Wilderness. He also wants to get rid of the restrictions of the aristocrats in the capital and the three holy lands. He even wants to get rid of you.”

He was originally the commander-in-chief of the White-robed Guards, but he had been sacked by Jiang Liu. Now that he was fired, he was prepared to return to the martial arts world. He was tired of the court.

Bai Qi widened her wolf eyes and said, “Has he gone crazy? Isn’t he afraid of death without the protection of Master?”

Li Jun said, “Right now, the White-robed Guards are very powerful, and there are as many experts as there are clouds in Great Jing. Moreover, he is in the Golden Body realm. After he successfully relocates the capital, I believe he can reach the Universe realm. He might think that he can protect himself.”

Bai Qi shook her head, unable to understand.

Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Let him be. Let’s see what he can do.”

Great Jing was indeed powerful enough that some people were about to forget his strength.

However, even if they were to move the capital, nothing would happen for the time being.

It was worth mentioning that Jiang Liu had yet to pay a visit to Jiang Changsheng.

Jiang Changsheng had already predicted the arrival of this day. As the relationship became more and more distant, his descendants would be afraid of his strength when there were no enemies.

Especially the Emperor. He had not been with Jiang Changsheng, so he did not know his temper. Naturally, he would be afraid.

It was not easy for him to climb to the peak. How could he be willing to admit that he was not the most powerful person under the heavens?

However, even though Jiang Liu was afraid of Jiang Changsheng, he knew that he was his ancestor and did not dare to have any ill intentions. He only wanted to stay away from Jiang Changsheng. Without his ancestor by his side, he could do whatever he wanted.

When Jiang Changsheng heard about his plot with the eunuchs, he almost laughed.

This kind of rebellion was a little like a child not wanting to be controlled by their parents.

Li Jun talked about other things, most of which were changes in the court.

Chen Li’s power had also been stripped, but his position was still there. However, his power was not as great as before. Chen Li did not mention this matter, and he was too embarrassed to say it. It was really embarrassing to be stripped of his power by his student.

After chatting for a while, Li Jun left. He was prepared to explore the Great Wilderness in the future, and he might have to come back every ten years. Jiang Changsheng also respected his choice.

Bai Qi lamented, “I really miss Ziyu, Jiang Xiu, and Shuntian.”

Ji Wujun said, “This is inevitable. Even if they are related by blood, the Emperor will still be afraid. The previous emperors could only be at ease because they had followed the Dao Ancestor since they were young. In the Sacred Dynasty, there were stories of father and son killing each other.”

Jiang Changsheng calmly said, “Let nature take its course. This is also good.”

Great Jing had already risen to power and could rely on itself. Even if something were to happen to the Emperor, there were many people in the Jiang Family.

Jiang Ziyu had left behind more than a thousand descendants. With such an achievement, he could be considered as a real man.

However, although he did not care, someone did.

When Jiang Che, who had been staying in the Ancestral Palace, heard of the news, he rushed directly to the palace and gave Jiang Liu a good scolding. This news spread among the people and caused the commoners and martial artists to chat about it.

On the endless ocean.

Venerable Bai stood on the deck of a ship. Dozens of ships were moving in all directions, and the martial artists on them were wearing all kinds of masks.

The masked man who had been working for Venerable Bai appeared behind him out of thin air. He half-knelt and said, “According to the people from the nearby islands, dozens of years ago, someone did see a continent flying towards the north. Along the way, many islands also had this legend. It seems like it’s true. The Dao Ancestor really carried the Dragon Vein Continent and Tianhai to the north.”

When Venerable Bai heard that, he nodded slightly and sighed. “The ability of the Dao Ancestor is really unimaginable. I suddenly feel that using Martial Emperors to measure him is lowering his status.”

The masked man sighed and said, “That’s right. I’ve never seen a Martial

Emperor with such ability in the history of the Sacred Dynasty.”

“However, since he is so powerful, why doesn’t he protect the human race?” This was the biggest problem in the masked man’s mind.

Venerable Bai shook his head and said, “Why would he want to protect the human race? Isn’t it enough to protect Great Jing? What does the entire human race have to do with him?”

The masked man choked and did not know how to refute.

Venerable Bai said, “The human heart is inward. As an immortal, he is already being kind to the human race by protecting Great Jing. If my guess is right, the fall of the Seven Great Demon Saints was his doing. His actions have already allowed the human race to breathe. The level he stands at is absolutely not something we can imagine. We are still fighting with demons. Perhaps he is looking at the myriad races and the entire world. No matter how strong the human race is, they are merely a drop in the ocean between heaven and earth. How insignificant are they? If we stand outside the human race and think about it, the human race is not that important.”

The masked man was shocked and felt that it made sense.

However, he was still puzzled. In the past, Venerable Bai very much cared about the humans of the Sacred Dynasty. How could there be such a change?

Venerable Bai continued, “Continue to inquire about the islands along the way. The goal is still to find Great Jing.”

The masked man nodded and left.

Venerable Bai looked at the end of the horizon with a calm expression.

“Your Majesty, could it be that there is really a path of immortals in this world…’

Year 3 of the Yan Yuan Era, late spring.

Jiang Changsheng was concocting pills for Ji Wujun, Bai Qi, Huang Tian, and

Hei Tian when he suddenly felt something. He turned to look into the city and locked his gaze on the Ancestral Palace.

He immediately created a clone and let it stay where he was while he went to check on Jiang Qing.

In the bedroom.

Concubine Yu sat on the ground and looked ahead in horror, her eyes filled with worry..
