Chapter 86: The World Has Changed, Shooting a True God with a Finger

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

All of Jiang Ziyu’s sons had the Dao pattern birthmark, and it had become the symbol of the Jiang Family’s bloodline. Although his daughters did not have it, no one had any objections about it.

The Dao pattern was the result of Jiang Changsheng’s cultivation. Even Jiang

Changsheng had yet to figure out the true profundity of the Dao pattern. When he saw his grandson obtaining a magical effect from the Dao pattern, his heart stirred.

Jiang Changsheng asked, “What’s his name?”

This was the first time he had seen this grandson.

Hua Jianxin smiled and said, “Jiang Jian.”

This name…

Jiang Changsheng remembered that when Jiang Ziyu was young, other than telling stories about dynasties, he would also occasionally tell stories about myths. He did not expect Jiang Ziyu to still remember God Erlang.

While they were talking, Little Jiang Jian had already climbed onto the medicinal cauldron and shook his body vigorously, causing the medicinal cauldron that was several times larger than him to shake.

He was not even three years old.

This kid was indeed talented. Perhaps his muscles and bones could not compare to Ping’an, but he was better than Jiang Ziyu when he was young.

Jiang Changsheng smiled.

When Hua Jianxin saw this, she immediately called out, “Jian’er, come here.”

Jiang Jian immediately jumped down from the medicinal cauldron and jogged to Hua Jianxin. He was very well-behaved. He carefully glanced at Jiang Changsheng and when he noticed that Jiang Changsheng was looking at him, his face immediately turned red and he turned around.

This kid..

Jiang Changsheng could not help but reach out to pinch his face, scaring him into hiding in Hua Jianxin’s arms.

“In the future, let him train with me. Tell Ziyu that this child will stay by my side.”

Hua Jianxin beamed with joy when she heard that. She had been worried about this. Even though Jiang Ziyu had many children, no one had inherited the teachings of Jiang Changsheng. In this world, the inheritance of martial arts and bloodlines were often inseparable.

From then on, there was another child in the courtyard.

Hua Jianxin returned back to the palace and told Jiang Ziyu about this. Naturally, Jiang Ziyu would not disagree. He could not be excited enough for this to happen.

As for Jiang Jian’s mother, she was also happy. Her son would be able to obtain the true teachings of the Dao Ancestor of Great Jing and live a peaceful life in the future. It was no secret that the Jiang Family would tend to kill each other. She was also worried about this matter. To her surprise, Jiang Changsheng also allowed her to visit Jiang Jian in Longqi Temple on normal days.

Very soon, the disciples of Longqi Temple also learned that there was a prince who would stay in Longqi Temple for a long time. This was because Jiang Changsheng allowed Jiang Jian to play in Longqi Temple instead of always staying in the courtyard.

In the evening.

A door was pushed open and Jiang Ziyu walked in. He ordered the servants to send food into the room before closing the door.

A figure sat on the bed. There was no light there, making this person look like a ghost hiding in the darkness.

Jiang Ziyu lit three oil lamps and sat at the table. “Imperial Grandmother, come

and eat.”

Hearing this, the figure slowly got out of bed. She had a head full of white hair and a thin body. She was the mother of the previous emperor, Consort Li, the former princess of the Chu Dynasty.

Consort Li trembled as she walked to the table and picked up the bowl and chopsticks. This Heaven Arrival realm expert was now like an ordinary old woman with weak limbs.

When Jiang Ziyu saw her appearance, he sighed.

In her early years, Consort Li had gone berserk. She heard that after the Mahayana Dragon Tower was destroyed by Jiang Changsheng, her blood and qi rebounded and attacked her heart, causing her to be in a coma for several years before her cultivation dissipated.

Consort Li took a bite of the food and said with great difficulty, “Ziyu… I can’t persist any longer… I miss your grandfather…”

Jiang Ziyu was silent. He knew about Consort Li and Jiang Yuan’s past. He sympathized with this woman, but he did not like her.

He faintly said, “Imperial Grandmother, in that case, can you tell me where the treasure vault of the Chu Dynasty is?”

Consort Li slowly put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, “Alright… Anyway, the Chu Dynasty is over. I really shouldn’t be persistent, but Ziyu…

there’s something you have to know. You can’t blindly trust the Dao Ancestor…

When she revealed Jiang Changsheng’s real identity, Jiang Ziyu pretended to be shocked.

Consort Li said helplessly, “If he knew his real identity, your throne… Right now, you are in control of the thirteen states. You can collect martial arts resources and make yourself stronger… Never trust others. You can only trust yourself.”

Jiang Ziyu took a deep breath and said, “Imperial Grandmother, I understand.” Then, Consort Li told Jiang Ziyu the location of the Chu Dynasty’s treasury.

The next morning, the servants discovered that Consort Li had passed away. Jiang Ziyu did not carry out the funeral with great fanfare and just buried her quietly. Other than the White-robed Guards, no one knew about this.

The old mansion of Emperor Wen where Consort Li lived was completely abandoned, and no one set foot there again. The sun and the moon rotated, and time flew by. The courtyard where she lived also began to grow weeds. Under the beams, spiders quickly weaved webs, and prey fell into the webs one after another to be eaten by it.

In the 19th year of the Qianwu Era, something huge happened in Longqi Temple.

When Huang Chuan stepped into the True God Realm, everyone was excited. The news spread throughout the entire Great Jing’s martial arts world. It was commonly known that True Gods could stand in the air, so Huang Chuan only needed to stand in the sky to prove his realm.

The Emperor was overjoyed. Even though Huang Chuan did not have any real power, he could enjoy a salary from the imperial court. Even officials of a lower rank did not dare to offend him.

At this point, there were already three True Gods in Great Jing: Ping’an, Emperor Yang Zhao, and Huang Chuan!

Even excluding the Dao Ancestor, it was comparable to a Chao Sect!

The Emperor continued to consolidate his dynasty and did not go to war. However, he would still mobilized troops at the outer border, which made everyone in the world aware of his ambition. Sooner or later, he would reveal his fangs and devour the world.

On this day.

Jiang Changsheng was cultivating under the tree while Bai Qi was toying with Jiang Jian. Suddenly, a voice echoed throughout Longqi Temple.

“Xiong Zhang of the Heavenly Dipper Dynasty has come to challenge the Dao Ancestor of Great Jing. My lifespan is about to end and I wish to seek guidance from the number one expert in the world before I die. I hope that the Dao Ancestor can fulfill my wish. After I die, I am willing to enter the Hero’s Tomb in order to strengthen the reputation of the Hero’s Tomb!”

The voice was so loud that many people in the capital could hear it.

The visitors on the mountain road looked up and were all shocked. They saw an old man standing in the sky. He was dressed in a gray robe and had no arms. His hair was white and he carried a huge sword on his back that was about the same width as his body. He stood in the air!

A True God!

All the martial artists who witnessed this scene were shocked. There was actually a True God hidden in the Heavenly Dipper Dynasty.

Xiong Hongzhang was expressionless as he stared at Longqi Temple.

He had been in seclusion for ten years. When his lifespan was about to end, he broke through to become a True God and extended his lifespan for another ten years. However, when he came out of the deep mountains, he heard that the world had changed. The imperial family of the Heavenly Dipper Dynasty had been slaughtered by a Chao Sect, and the new imperial family had surrendered to Great Jing. It made him feel that the world had changed.

Originally, he wanted to find the new Emperor of the Heavenly Dipper Dynasty and use his godly power to reverse the situation. But later on, when he heard about the unprecedented decisive battle, he fell silent.

Eight True Gods had died in one battle, and there was still an even stronger old monster at the Golden Body realm!

What was the Golden Body realm?

When Xiong Hongzhang heard about this battle, he was confused.

He had been in seclusion in the mountains for so manv vears. and it was not easy for him to break through. He thought he was invincible, but he did not expect…

As a result, Xiong Hongzhang went south and came to the capital of the Si Province to challenge the Dao Ancestor of Great Jing.

He really wanted to die.

At this moment, a figure flew out from Longqi Temple. It was Huang Chuan. Huang Chuan was extremely excited and wanted to use this opportunity to test his strength. Ever since he stepped into the True God realm, he had yet to encounter a worthy opponent.

“Alright! ”

A voice suddenly resounded throughout the horizon, causing Huang Chuan’s smile to freeze. It was Jiang Changsheng.

Since Jiang Changsheng wanted to attack, he had no chance. He could only retreat in grievance.

Xiong Hongzhang’s eyes narrowed. The huge sword on his back unsheathed and quickly flew to his feet. He stepped on the huge sword and charged towards Longqi Temple. In an instant, a vast amount of true qi exploded and condensed into thousands of sword shadows behind him. The momentum was spectacular. Even Huang Chuan’s eyelids twitched.

If Huang Chuan was in such a state, the other disciples, martial artists, and devotees were even more shocked.

What kind of strength was that?

What kind of unique technique was that?

At that moment, a stone flew out from Longqi Temple and pierced through the sky towards Xiong Hongzhang at an extremely fast speed.

Xiong Hongzhang widened his eyes. The stone reflected in his pupils grew larger and larger.

Pfft!

A stone pierced through his forehead and his figure stopped. The thousands of sword shadows around him turned into smoke and dissipated.

“Send this True God to the Hero’s Tomb and erect a tablet for him.”

The moment Jiang Changsheng’s voice sounded, everyone in Longqi Temple could hear it, even the citizens in the streets at the foot of the mountain could hear it.

Under everyone’s gaze, Xiong Hongzhang fell and smashed into the forest.

“Hiss—what happened just now?”

“Is it over just like that?”

“The Dao Ancestor has taken action? Why didn’t I see him?”

“Heavens, a True God was instantly killed. How powerful is the Dao Ancestor?” “I think I saw a force penetrating Xiong Hongzhang’s forehead.”

The martial artists cried out in surprise. Even Huang Chuan was shocked.

After breaking through to become a True God, Huang Chuan’s mentality had swelled. He thought that he could be considered second in the world, but the momentum of Xiong Hongzhang’s ultimate technique frightened him. He felt that he might not be able to defeat him.

However, Xiong Hongzhang, whom he regarded as a powerful enemy, had been instantly killed..

Moreover, he also saw what killed him clearly. It was a stone.

His master had killed a True God with a stone…

In the courtyard.

Jiang Changsheng patted Jiang Jian’s head and stood up with a smile.

The young Jiang Jian felt aggrieved. It was not easy for him to use stone to form a face, but the stone for the eye went missing.

Bai Qi, who was lying opposite him, trembled. A random stone could kill a True

God..

This was too outrageous!

F*ck!

In the past, True Gods were high and mighty. She had met the overlord of the Donglin Dynasty when she was 100 years old. But ever since it came to Longqi Temple, she realized that True Gods were not rare, or even strong.

Jiang Changsheng sat under the tree and started to look forward to the survival reward.

He could understand the arrival of Xiong Hongzhang. Martial artists were competitive. If they were to die in a spar between experts, they would have no regrets. Right now, the Hero’s Tomb was famous all over the world. For Xiong Hongzhang to be able to enter the Hero’s Tomb, he did not lose his reputation as a True God.

However, he was puzzled.

There was actually a True God in the Heavenly Dipper Dynasty. Why didn’t he appear during the previous decisive battle?

After the time for an incense stick to burn.

“In the 19th year of the Qianwu Era, a True God from the Heavenly Dipper Dynasty, Xiao Hongzhang, was about to reach the end of his lifespan and came to challenge you. You passed his challenge and survived the calamity. You have obtained the survival reward—Spell, Fire Rain.”

A notification popped up in front of Jiang Changsheng. Seeing that it was a spell, he was satisfied.

Coincidentally, he was about to break through. Xiong Hongzhang could be considered as sending a huge gift for his breakthrough.

To send one’s head from thousands of miles away, it was such a heartfelt act.

Jiang Changsheng began to look forward to other old monsters that were about to die coming to challenge him.

The news of this battle quickly spread. The power of the Dao Ancestor was even more deeply rooted in their hearts. He had killed a True God with a flick of his finger. It was extremely terrifying.

The origin of Xiong Hongzhang had also spread throughout the Great Jing martial arts world. It turned out that Xiong Hongzhang was not a nobody. A hundred years ago, he was the number one expert in the martial arts world of

the Heavenly Dipper Dynasty’..
