At night, a figure jumped in through the window. The candlelight in the room illuminated her figure.

It was Hua Jianxin.

Hua Jianxin took off her mask and sat down beside Jiang Changsheng. She said, “The Chief Guard is also dissatisfied with the Emperor’s decision to restore Chu and has already decided to assist Ziyu. I told him to stay put and wait for the time to be ripe.”

Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and said, “He’s still sensible. There’s a reason why the Head of Punishment gave up his position to him.”

In the past, the White-robed Guards were under the control of the Head of Punishment. Before Jiang Yuan passed away, the Head of Punishment had given up his position to avoid being forcefully kicked out by Emperor Jiang Yu. Only by doing this, could he still leave some leeway to choose his own people.

Hua Jianxin sighed and said, “Ziyu has finally grown up. Although he has the help of Ping’an, Xu Tianji, and the Head of Punishment, no matter how much contribution he makes, he is still only King Wei. How can he legitimately become the crown prince?”

Jiang Changsheng looked at the bright moon outside the window and said, “I have my ways. The reason why I haven’t attacked Emperor Jiang Yu is not because I’m afraid of the Mahayana Dragon Tower, but because I’m giving Ziyu time. He was too young previously. Only when his name spreads throughout the world, I’ll give him a legitimate opportunity.”

He was already comparable to the Martial Dao Universe realm. After the calculation with incense points, he found out he could easily suppress the Mahayana Dragon Tower. Therefore, he did not have any worries now and only wanted Jiang Ziyu to ascend the throne better.

If he killed Emperor Jiang Yu now or forced him to give up his position, heroes would definitely rise in the world. It would not be good if it was too chaotic.

In order to prevent the world from falling into chaos, he would let Jiang Ziyu’s merit rise above his master!

Hua Jianxin nodded. She looked at Jiang Changsheng’s side profile in a daze.

Jiang Changsheng turned around and asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something on your mind?”

Hua Jianxin sighed and said, “Although I’ve taken the Beauty Pill, I’m already in my fifties. I don’t know how much longer I can accompany you. In the past two years, too many old friends have passed away, making me feel a little sad.”

For some reason, she felt that Jiang Changsheng could live longer than her.

Jiang Changsheng shook his head and said, “Life, old age, illness, and death are fated. It can’t be forced. It’s fine as long as you get used to it. How’s your cultivation of the Heavenly Scripture of the Universe?”

Hua Jianxin said, “It’s very difficult to improve further, let alone cultivate the higher level true qi you mentioned.”

Jiang Changsheng was a little disappointed. The Heavenly Scripture of the Universe was a low-quality cultivation technique that he had created. Although it was far from comparable, it also provided a way to cultivate spiritual energy.

If it did not work, it meant that she did not have the talent to cultivate.

Perhaps it had nothing to do with talent. Martial artists in this world just could not cultivate. Perhaps it was because of the rules of the world.

He and Hua Jianxin would eventually part.

Although he did not fall in love with Hua Jianxin at first sight, he still had feelings for her after spending more than twenty years with her. Over the years, he occasionally hoped that someone would accompany him. Now, it seemed that only the Earth Spirit Tree could accompany him.

Hua Jianxin saw that he was silent and felt a little ashamed. She knew that her talent was not good, and it was with Jiang Changsheng’s help that she was able to advance to the Heaven Arrival realm.

She could not help but lean on Jiang Changsheng’s shoulder. Jiang Changsheng did not dodge and let her lean on him.

“Will you marry someone in the future?” Hua Jianxin suddenly asked. Jiang Changsheng said, “Perhaps, perhaps not.”

Hua Jianxin felt a little sour in her heart, but she did not say anything.

Jiang Changsheng was not a block of wood, so how could he not know what she was thinking? He reached out and held her back, inserting a reincarnation mark.

Hua Jianxin felt an unfathomable power surge into her body, but it did not cause any discomfort. She did not struggle and asked softly, “What is this?” “Do you believe in reincarnation?”

“Of course I do. As the saying goes, the dead are reincarnated, and all things are reincarnated. ”

“Then please believe that there will be an afterlife.”

“If there’s an afterlife, what’s the point if we will lose our memories?”

“I will have it.”

“Then can you find me?”

“It’s not impossible.”

Hua Jianxin could not help but laugh. He felt that Jiang Changsheng was unromantic, but he was also interesting.

In her opinion, the next life was just a comfort from Jiang Changsheng. Even if they were just comforting words, she was very satisfied.

At least he knew how to comfort her.

In July, King Wei, Jiang Ziyu, conscripted troops in the three prefectures of Qian, Yu, and Fang in the south of the Great Jing, declaring that he would protect the Great Jing with his life. After that, the other princes also left the capital one after another, wanting to imitate the Crown Prince and King Wei and make contributions on the front lines.

For a moment, the Great Jing stirred up the atmosphere of holding up the Ancient Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. The country was about to collapse and families were about to perish. The princes personally went to the battlefield, and the courage of the people of the Great Jing was mobilized.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…

In the courtyard, Huang Chuan punched and kicked Jiang Changsheng. His attacks were sharp, but no matter how fast he was or how tricky the angle of his attacks was, he could not touch Jiang Changsheng’s clothes.

Huang Chuan was already used to it. He did not give up and continued to give it his all.

Wang Chen was helping White Dragon peel its skin under the tree. White

Dragon was about to undergo a molting period. This fellow’s intelligence was already equivalent to that of an eight or nine-year-old child. It was too lazy so it let Wang Chen help it shed its skin.

There was a long pause.

Huang Chuan stopped and placed his hands on his knees as he panted heavily. At the age of seventeen, he had completely grown up. His figure was tall and straight, and his long hair was tied behind his head with a grass rope, revealing his handsome face. His eyebrows were like blades, and his eyes were sharp. He had the bearing of a demon lord.

Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Chuan’er, you’ve improved quite a bit. You almost touched me.”

These words were naturally meant to comfort him. There was a huge difference in their cultivation levels, so it was impossible for Huang Chuan to actually touch him.

Huang Chuan asked excitedly, “Is it really that close?”

Jiang Changsheng smiled and nodded. Huang Chuan was immediately filled with strength.

At this moment, Qing Ku walked into the courtyard. He was over forty years old and looked like he had experienced the vicissitudes of life. There was also a dense stubble on his face. Coupled with his single arm, he looked like he was filled with stories.

“Senior Brother, a person who calls himself the Four Seas Sage has come to visit. He said that he wants to visit you to discuss fate.”

Qing Ku said with a strange expression. The other party’s words made him feel that he was a charlatan. He even tried to push him away, but he was played by the other party.

Jiang Changsheng came to the stone table and sat down. “Let him come. Wang

Chen, make tea.”

He had heard from Eunuch Li that the birth of the Head of Punishment was the work of the Four Seas Sage.

He had already sensed the aura of the Four Seas Sage. The strength of the Heaven Arrival realm was indeed very strong. Most importantly, the strength of the Four Seas Sage was different from ordinary martial artists. His true qi was not violent and was as gentle as water.

No, he was not at the Heaven Arrival realm. There was an even stronger power hidden in his dantian. Although it could not threaten Jiang Changsheng, he was definitely a peerless expert in the Great Jing.

After a while.

Qing Ku brought the Four Seas Sage over. The Four Seas Sage was fat and looked to be in his forties or fifties, like Maitreya Buddha. He held a wine gourd in his hand and carried a huge wooden box.

“Immortal Master Changsheng is really extraordinary. I’ve never seen such a technique to retain one’s beauty even in the Ten Directions Dynasty.”

The Four Seas Sage chuckled and sat down in front of Jiang Changsheng.

Qing Ku wanted to say something, but seeing Jiang Changsheng wave his hand, he could only leave.

The Four Seas Sage picked up a small bowl and poured wine from his calabash. He smiled and said, “Immortal Master Changsheng, I’m really impressed that you can cultivate to such a level in the dynasty controlled by the Mahayana Dragon Tower. However, Immortal Master has been staying in the capital. Could it be that you want to interfere with the heavenly fate?”

Jiang Changsheng smiled and asked, “I wonder what the heavenly fate you’re talking about is?”

The Four Seas Sage finished the wine in the bowl in one gulp and said, “The fate is in Chu.”

He stared at Jiang Changsheng intently, and his gaze became sharp.

Jiang Changsheng said indifferently, “Who set the destiny? You or the Mahayana Dragon Tower?”

The Four Seas Sage shook his head and said, “No, it’s set by the martial path.

Immortal Master’s cultivation is probably about to reach the realm of True God. Some things can be known. Since ancient times, the change of dynasties has been controlled by the martial path. These thirteen prefectures are controlled by the Mahayana Dragon Tower, but do you know that there are True God realm experts in the Mahayana Dragon Tower?”

Wang Chen could not help but turn his head. He had never heard of the words “True God”.

The Four Seas Sage continued, “If Immortal Master insists, you will encounter a calamity sooner or later. Let it go. This land already has its destiny. Why don’t you leave with me?”

“Where are we going?”

“We will travel the world and see a wider world. Then, go to the Xiansheng

Grotto-heaven to pursue a higher level of martial arts.”

“There’s a higher realm above the True God realm?”

“Of course. There are no limits to martial arts. Above the Divine realm is the Golden Body realm. That’s a realm that 90% of martial artists can’t reach in their entire lives. It’s considered the invincible realm of the unhindered dynasty.”

The Four Seas Sage pinched his beard and smiled. When he saw that Jiang Changsheng was moved, the smile on his face deepened.

Golden Body realm?

It turned out that there was a realm between the True God realm and the Universe realm.

Jiang Changsheng shook his head and said, “Thank you for your kind intentions. I still want to stay here and cultivate in peace.”

The Four Seas Sage frowned and said, “When Martial Ancestor Jing started the rebellion, I helped him, so I still have some feelings for the Great Jing. You are considered the most outstanding martial artist in the Great Jing martial world. The Great Jing is about to be destroyed. I invited you because I want to leave a legacy for the Great Jing martial world on account of the former emperor.”

Jiang Changsheng raised his eyebrows and said, “The late emperor asked you to come?”

The Four Seas Sage snorted and said, “Two years ago, he sent me a letter and asked me to come to the capital to take away Longqi Temple’s Daoist Master Changsheng. I originally thought that you were just an ordinary martial arts genius, but I didn’t expect you to have become a legend in the martial arts world.”

Jiang Changsheng thought of Jiang Yuan and sighed.

He was still thinking about the relationship between father and son.

Jiang Changsheng said, “Thank you for your kind intentions. I’ve troubled you for a long journey, but I don’t want to leave.”

The Four Seas Sage frowned and stared fixedly at Jiang Changsheng. “The Mahayana Dragon Tower has yet to descend to the capital. It’s not that they are worried about your martial arts, but they are tied down by other matters. They will arrive sooner or later and force the current emperor to restore the Chu Dynasty. At that time, the citizens of the Jing Dynasty will be reduced to slaves, and the civil and military officials of the court and the royal family will definitely be slaughtered by the Chu people. This is the enmity of the destruction of the country and is irreconcilable.”

Wang Chen listened from the side and was shocked. He already knew about the existence of the Mahayana Dragon Tower, but he did not expect it to be so ruthless.

Jiang Changsheng said, “I’ve been firm this whole time. I won’t waver.”

When the Four Seas Sage heard that, he slammed the table and stood up. “Fool!

He picked up the wine gourd and turned to leave. However, after taking two steps, he stopped and said, “Jiang Yuan can be considered half my disciple. I can’t go back on my word. How about this? You and I will exchange a palm strike. If you win, I won’t persuade you anymore. If you lose, you will leave with me.”

Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Why bother?”

The Four Seas Sage looked at Jiang Changsheng provocatively with a straight face.

Jiang Changsheng was amused. This old man felt like an old urchin.

He stood up and suddenly appeared in front of the Four Seas Sage. His right palm stopped in front of his forehead, and the strong wind blew back the robe of the Four Seas Sage. Even the fat on his face was pulled back, and his facial features were deformed.

When the strong wind dissipated, bean-sized cold sweat seeped out of the Four Seas Sage’s forehead. His eyes were wide open, and his heartbeat was like a war drum. Jiang Changsheng could hear it very clearly.

Jiang Changsheng smiled and asked, “Do we really have to exchange a palm strike?”

The Four Seas Sage smiled insincerely and said, “I… I’m just joking… Immortal Master is really amazing… Immortal Master, feel free… feel free. Just treat it as if I was talking nonsense after drinking just now.”

As he spoke, he retreated and quickly ran out of the courtyard. It looked very comical..
