Jiang Changsheng looked at the anxious Ling Xiao and said angrily, “How can there be a Grandmaster? Don’t spout nonsense.”

His senses could cover the entire Longqi Mountain. If an expert approached, he would be able to capture it immediately.

Ling Xiao said, “The other party did not come personally. Instead, they sent a disciple to deliver a letter, saying that they would like to invite you to fight to the death at the north gate of the capital in half a year.”

Jiang Changsheng raised his eyebrows and said, “That’s it?”

It would take place in half a year. It seemed like the other party wanted to play some tricks.

Ling Xiao said, “The other party is Divine Monk Juexin of Jusong Lake. Jusong Lake’s martial arts world has a very high status, and the martial arts competition for the supremes of the martial arts world is held at Jusong Lake.”

Jiang Changsheng nodded. Seeing that he did not take it to heart at all, Ling Xiao could only give up.

After Ling Xiao left, Wang Chen walked over and said, “I’ve heard of Divine

Monk Juexin. There are four divine monks in the martial arts world of Great Jing, and three of them are his disciples. Divine Monk Juexin is already more than a hundred years old. In the chaotic times, he single-handedly blocked an army of 100,000 and saved a city of people. At that time, his name shook the martial arts world. He’s already so powerful, but he still has to prepare for half a year. There must be a scheme.’

Jiang Changsheng stretched and said, “Then I hope his schemes are more or less a threat.”

Wang Chen shook his head and laughed. He was full of confidence in Jiang Changsheng. He felt that no one in the martial arts world could match him.

Needless to say, Bai Qi was certain that Jiang Changsheng was a True God realm expert. It had seen the strength of the martial arts world of Great Jing along the way and found that it was too weak.

It came to White Dragon and lay down. It was not here to observe White Dragon, but to absorb the spiritual energy of the Earth Spirit Tree.

Jiang Changsheng did not stop it. Instead, he walked to its side and sat down to cultivate.

Leaving Bai Qi alive was also because he wanted to see how demon beasts cultivated. It was always good to have more knowledge.

In the eleventh month, snow fell. King Wei attacked the Jin Dynasty and continuously expanded the territory of Great Jing. The Crown Prince attacked Ancient Han, and the two princes displayed their strength. They kept fighting and winning. In just a few years, the Great Jing went from being on the verge of destroying to destroying other dynasties. They kept expanding their territory and celebrating.

Under the suggestion of the prime ministers of the three provinces, the Emperor sent diplomatic envoys to rebuild the trading line with the surrounding dynasties. With the power of the Twin Dragons, these dynasties could only grit their teeth and agree to unfair conditions. In the Jin Dynasty, on a plain, there was a world of ice and snow.

King Wei’s army was stationed here.

In the tent, Jiang Ziyu was warming himself in front of a fire. At nineteen years old, he had completely lost his childishness and had a dignified expression. Especially the birthmark between his eyebrows, it had turned blood-red, making him look even more oppressive.

Xu Tianji sat at the side and grinned. “If this continues, can we reach the Jin

Dynasty’s Imperial City?”

The other soldiers also smiled. They had won every battle, causing them to be arrogant.

The Four Seas Sage shook his head and said, “It’s useless to attack the Imperial City. My suggestion is to return to the imperial court.”

As soon as he said this, all the soldiers looked at him and frowned.

Zong Tianwu was deep in thought.

The Four Seas Sage took a sip of wine and said, “Your Highness, even if you break through the Jin Dynasty, this credit can only be given to the current

Emperor. It’s meaningless for you to ascend to the throne because the Crown

Prince’s contributions are equally great. If you nurture two dragon sons, the Emperor will become an emperor for thousands of years and his imperial might will be even stronger. With such power, he can decide who the crown prince is.”

Jiang Ziyu frowned.

The Four Seas Sage said, “The best plan now is to return to the dynasty and prepare your troops. Let the Crown Prince fight Ancient Han and the Jin Dynasty alone and exhaust his combat strength. When he is defeated, it will be the time for Your Highness to rise.”

The soldiers felt that it made sense. They had followed King Wei to sweep through the world and were already united. Naturally, they hoped for King Wei to ascend the throne.

When King Wei ascended the throne, their future would be even brighter.

Only through meritorious service could one have the chance to be conferred the title of king and become a minister!

Everyone looked at Jiang Ziyu, waiting for King Wei to make a decision.

Jiang Ziyu took a deep breath and the firelight shone on his face. His eyes were firm as he said, “I want to fight for the throne, but I don’t want to rely on such methods. I want to ascend the throne openly and establish merits that no one in the world dares to deny. I want Father to give up his position to me before the world submits.”

“Fight! Fight until the Jin Dynasty surrenders and until the other dynasties fears the might of our Great Jing!”

Hearing this, everyone was moved and felt deep veneration for Jiang Ziyu.

The Sage Four Seas Sage was stunned. He sighed and shook his head. “Your Highness is really similar to the previous Emperor, but you are even more open and aboveboard than him.”

He did not know if it was a blessing or a curse to be so open and aboveboard.

Zong Tianwu asked curiously, “Senior, have you seen the late emperor?”

The others also looked at the Four Seas Sage.

The Four Seas Sage stroked his beard and smiled. “When the late emperor took that boat down to Jiangnan, I saw him on the riverbank and even waved at him. The late emperor also nodded at me. I could be considered to have a good relationship with him.”

Everyone rolled their eyes. This old fellow was always messing with them.

Jiang Ziyu suddenly asked, “The expert who appeared under the Crown Prince is called Ye Jue, right? Have you found out his identity?”

A general shook his head and said, “We can’t find him out his identity. It seems that there is no such person in the martial arts world of Great Jing.”

Zong Tianwu said, “Maybe he’s not from the martial arts world of Great Jing.”

King Qin nodded and said, “It’s obvious that there’s a powerful martial arts force behind the Emperor. Perhaps it’s because of the Emperor’s instructions that Ye Jue supported the Crown Prince. Before he appeared, the Crown Prince could be said to have lost every battle and could not compare to you at all.”

Hearing this, Jiang Ziyu’s expression became complicated.

The atmosphere in the tent became somber.

In the 6th year of the Zhen Yu Era, the new spring had just passed, and there were more and more peddlers coming and going in the capital. There were successive reports on the front line, and it was obvious that Great Jing was about to return to its peak, causing the peddlers and aristocratic families everywhere to begin to become active.

There was still a month before the challenge between Divine Monk Juexin and Jiang Changsheng.

A battle report came from the front line, reporting that the emperor of the Jin Dynasty had passed away, and the Empress Dowager had taken power. She then sent a request to surrender to Great Jing. The news spread throughout the capital. Everyone, from high-ranking officials to commoners, was excited.

When the Jin Dynasty attacked, they felt that the sky was about to collapse. It had only been a few years, but the Jin Dynasty had actually surrendered. More details about this battle spread among the people. It was said that when King Wei was about to attack the Jin Dynasty’s Imperial City, the emperor could not withstand the pressure and vomited out blood.

The Jin Dynasty was only half the size of Great Jing. Even so, it was unbelievable that King Wei only used a year to kill his way through the Jin Dynasty. He was like a god of war.

Although the Emperor favored the Crown Prince, he had no choice but to reward him for such contributions.

A few days later, the Emperor announced to the world that he had conferred King Wei, Jiang Ziyu, as the Great General of the North. A Great General was the highest status a general could obtain, and the prefix showed that he was different from the rest, enough to be recorded in history.

Late at night, in the courtyard.

Hearing Hua Jianxin’s description, Jiang Changsheng revealed a gratified expression.

This kid had finally grown up. With such a battle record, he really had a chance of becoming the Li Shimin of the other world. However, Li Shimin’s brothers’ achievements were far inferior to his. Although the current Crown Prince’s achievements were inferior to Jiang Ziyu’s, his momentum was very fierce.

“It must be the Mahayana Dragon Tower supporting the Crown Prince.

Although he has been conferred the title of Great General, it’s not so easy for Ziyu to ascend the throne,” Hua Jianxin said worriedly.

Jiang Ziyu had many experts under him, which was why he had such achievements. Meanwhile, the Crown Prince also had an expert called Ye Jue by his side.

This was enough to show how powerful Ye Jue was.

Jiang Changsheng said calmly, “The battle for the throne is not between the Crown Prince and Ziyu, but between the Mahayana Dragon Tower and I. Fortunately, the Mahayana Dragon Tower does not know that Ziyu is my biological son and will not attack him. They will come to me immediately. When I deal with the Mahayana Dragon Tower, the battle for the throne will lose its suspense.”

In the past, he did not know how strong the Mahayana Dragon Tower was when he switched sides. Now, it was different. He openly supported Jiang Ziyu and looked forward to the Mahayana Dragon Tower coming as soon as possible.

Seeing Jiang Changsheng so confident, Hua Jianxin’s uneasy heart calmed down.

It was not until dawn that Hua Jianxin quietly left.

In March, a large number of martial artists gathered in the capital because a Grandmaster and the Daoist Master Jiang Changsheng were about to fight to the death. This battle attracted the attention of various sects in the martial arts world.

Huang Chuan had also returned.

After returning to Longqi Temple and exchanging pleasantries with the disciples, he went to the courtyard to greet Jiang Changsheng. Although he was a little surprised to see a wolf in the courtyard, he did not think too much about it.

“Master, my grandfather has been buried. In the future, I will stay in Longqi Temple and focus on cultivation to support you in your old age,” Huang Chuan said seriously after kowtowing.

For him, there were no more blood relatives in the world, only his master. Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “I might live longer than you.”

Huang Chuan smiled and said, “Then I wish Master a long life. No, a long life of 200 years.”

The higher the realm of a martial artist, the longer their lifespan would increase. However, in Great Jing, there had yet to be a 200-year-old expert. For example, the current Grandmasters were all 100 years old. Knowing that their lives were over, they began the last battle of their lives.

“By the way, Master, I found out on the way that Divine Monk Juexin has comprehended the Buddhist Heart. Now, his strength has already surpassed that of an ordinary Grandmaster. He can’t be underestimated.”

Huang Chuan reminded with a solemn expression.

He didn’t mention how hard it was for him to go out for a few years, but he had indeed experienced many life and death situations. Now, he was a true Heaven Arrival realm expert. The higher he stood, the more he understood how terrifying martial arts were.

In front of a true hidden master, the seemingly invincible Heaven Arrival realm expert was just an ordinary person.

Surpassing a Grandmaster?

Didn’t that mean that he had surpassed the Divine realm and reached the True God realm?

Jiang Changsheng did not believe that there was a True God realm expert in the martial arts world of Great Jing, but he was looking forward to it.

He had never fought with a True God realm expert before.

Then, Huang Chuan went to catch up with Ling Xiao while Jiang Changsheng continued to cultivate.

Halt a month later, there were already more than ten thousand martial artists in the capital. All the inns and theaters were discussing this battle.

Divine Monk Juexin was a living legend.

Immortal Master Changsheng was a martial arts legend.

The battle between an Undying Legend and a martial arts legend was too much of a gimmick. No matter who won, it was a rare battle.

In a bedroom in the palace.

Emperor Jiang Yu was half-naked as he soaked in the pool and enjoyed the full-body massage of six palace maids. His arms leaned against the pool and he faced the sky with his eyes closed.

The Fortune Buddha stood behind him and said, “Divine Monk Juexin has burned his lifespan with the supreme divine pill of the Mahayana Dragon

Tower and has reached the legendary True God realm. In this battle, even if

Immortal Master Changsheng doesn’t die, he will be severely injured. Divine

Monk Juexin asked me to tell His Majesty that the plan to restore Chu can’t be delayed any longer. On the day of the decisive battle, please watch and see the demeanor of a True God…

Emperor Jiang Yu snorted. “Is he threatening me?”

The Fortune Buddha said in a deep voice, “This is not just his intention.”

Emperor Jiang Yu was silent for a moment before he said, “Forget it. When the time comes, I will go and take a look. A True God realm expert? I didn’t expect my Great Jing to give birth to a True God realm expert. However, the irony is that although he is a person of Great Jing, he favors Chu in his heart.”

The Fortune Buddha did not reply and turned to leave.

His eyes were filled with hatred.

Immortal Master Changsheng, you are dead meat!

The day of the battle had finally arrived.

The area outside of the northern city gate was filled with people. Martial artists were stationed outside the city, and high-ranking officials and nobles had already set up banquets in various pavilions in the city, preparing to watch the decisive battle of the martial arts world.

On the mountainside of Longqi Temple, nearly 300 disciples were also waiting.

The Emperor returned to his mansion and drank wine in the highest pavilion in the mansion, waiting for the arrival of the two peerless experts.

The Fortune Buddha stood behind him with an impatient expression.

Emperor Jiang Yu suddenly put down his wine glass and said with a dark expression, “They’re here.”

What terrifying true qi!

He realized that he had underestimated the True God realm. His heart sank when he thought of the words of Divine Monk Juexin.

A scarlet glow appeared in the sky outside the northern city gate, as if dusk had arrived. However, it was only noon, and there was a commotion outside the city.

Huang Chuan narrowed his eyes and his expression changed drastically.

At the end of the horizon, a figure walked over. It was an old monk. He was as thin as a match and wore a kasaya. His beard and eyebrows were pale. He seemed to have his eyes closed as he walked over step by step. Golden Buddhist light emitted from behind him, and a Buddha statue could be vaguely seen. This scene was seen by the martial artists outside the city, and countless people were in an uproar.

Stepping forward in the sky had already shocked ordinary people. The Buddhist light behind him made people feel that he was like a god..
