Chapter 275: Unknown Land, Mysterious Opportunity

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

In the 11th year of the Changle Era, just after the new spring, the Emperor announced the appointment of a crown prince. Previously, he had been unwilling to make up his mind, but suddenly, he announced the appointment of a crown prince, causing the people in the capital to discuss.

There was a rumor that the Emperor’s health was deteriorating day by day. At the Changle Banquet that had just ended last year, the Emperor rested earlier than usual.

Bai Qi also informed Jiang Changsheng of this matter.

Jiang Changsheng did not mind. He was four generations apart from Jiang Qing, and he did not like him much. He was already compassionate enough to help Jiang Qing ascend the throne, so there was no need for him to extend a helping hand.

The Jiang Family did not lack people to be emperor.

Moreover, life and death were up to fate. He would at most help Jiang Qing prolong his life for a few years. There had always been a backup copy of such a medicinal pill in the state treasury, and Jiang Qing had started to consume it a few years ago.

“I didn’t expect Jiang Qing to die earlier than his father. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have spoken up for him.”

Bai Qi lamented. She did not have much to do with Jiang Qing’s son. Therefore, compared to Jiang Qing’s son ascending the throne, Jiang Che was better in comparison. At the very least, she could take advantage of their relationship.

Jiang Changsheng said, “That kid, Jiang Che, has long lost his heart as an emperor. He spends all day refining pills in the Ancestral Palace and has never come out.”

He did not have the habit of peeping at his descendants. As long as Jiang Che was not in danger, it was fine. Even if he was killed by a thief, he could use Revival in the first instant.

In fact, ever since Jiang Che pursued the longevity pill, his strength had been increasing.

It seemed like Concubine Yu really loved him. Members of the Spirit Race would often appear near Skyview Land to send Jiang Che rare treasures and corpses of ferocious beasts.

In the Great Wilderness, the corpses of ferocious beasts would not rot so easily. The higher the realm, the more it was like this.

Jiang Changsheng began to consider another matter.

Should he let the descendants of the Jiang Family serve as officials in Hell?

He would ask them after they died.

If they had just died, Jiang Changsheng could freeze their souls in the first instant and stop them from dying.

Jiang Changsheng would only protect his descendants if they are within three generations from him. After three generations, they would have nothing to do with him. However, if they were willing to work in Hell, they could continue their blood relationship.

As more and more souls were absorbed by Hell, the Head of Punishment and Zhang Ying became busier and busier. They would even encounter some strange things. For example, meeting one’s enemy in life, yet still fighting after their death. Other than those mortal fueds, there were also love and family grudges. It was a mess. In any case, Hell was quite lively right now.

Most of the souls in Hell came from Skyview Land, and for the time being, they had not absorbed any souls outside of Great Jing. Jiang Changsheng chatted with Bai Qi as he trained.

At that very moment.

“Senior, Senior, we are in big trouble. Can you help us…”

Jiang Changsheng suddenly heard Lin Haotian’s thoughts and his tone was anxious.

Jiang Changsheng immediately sensed their reincarnation marks.

However, he could not track it with his Limitless Eyes of Heaven and Earth.

They were too far away!

Jiang Changsheng immediately communicated with him telepathically to understand the truth of the situation.

It turned out that the three of them had followed a member of the Spirit Race to explore an imperial palace and accidentally activated a formation before they were transported to an unknown place.

After Jiang Changsheng heard that, he used the Inviting God with Incense function to attach his power to Jiang Jian and obtain his vision.

At that moment, Jiang Jian and the others were standing on a cliff. The forest behind them was so desolate. There were no leaves, only dead trees and branches. It was a strange and horrifying scene.

Jiang Jian trembled as he felt a powerful force surging from his body, which shocked him.

“What’s wrong?”

Lin Haotian noticed his abnormality and hastily asked.

He was the one who brought Jiang Jian out. If anything were to happen to him, how would he explain it to the Dao Ancestor?

“Don’t panic, it’s me.”

Jiang Changsheng’s voice came from Jiang Jian’s body, making everyone widen their eyes.

Lin Haotian asked in astonishment, “Senior, are you in his body?”

“No, it’s just that my power can enter his body. Let me look around first.”

Jiang Changsheng answered and observed the area around him.

Jiang Jian’s heartbeat sped up and his body stiffened.

Grandfather could actually possess him?

Could it be because of his third eye?

It was very likely, as his greatest talent was this third eye, but he knew that it had been inherited from his grandfather.

Lin Haotian was secretly puzzled. What was the relationship between Senior and Jiang Jian?

He had already thought that Jiang Jian looked a lot like Senior. Could it be…

Ling Feng was very nervous. He had long heard of the power of the Dao Ancestor. Now that he saw such an unimaginable thing, he felt even more reverence for him.

Jiang Changsheng looked into the distance. Below him was a desolate land. Skeletons and withered trees were everywhere. Some skulls were piled up, forming a small mountain. It made an even more terrifying scene.

The sky at the end of the earth was filled with wisps of Blood Qi and Black Qi, making this world seem bloody and gloomy.

After watching for a while, Jiang Changsheng could not see anything and could only tell them to be careful.

“Even though my powers can help you, you cannot be careless because your bodies cannot bear my full strength.”

Jiang Changsheng reminded and deactivated the Inviting God with Incense function.

Jiang Jian’s body had also recovered, and he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Haotian curiously asked, “How did you feel just now?”

Jiang Jian’s eyes flickered as he said, “Omnipotent. I felt very, very strong. Just with this power alone, I think I have surpassed the Grotto-heaven realm.”

Lin Haotian revealed an envious expression while Ling Feng was terrified. Ping’an scratched his head and asked, “When… are we going to… eat… meat?”

Even though he was the culprit for picking that flower, none of them dared to blame him.

Lin Haotian asked in surprise, “You’re hungry so soon? Where’s the flower?” Ping’an grinned and said, “In my stomach..

When Jiang Jian heard that, he immediately became nervous and examined Ping’an’s body.

Ping’an was his elder and his partner who had been by his side for more than a hundred years.

“I… I’m fine…”

Ping’an smiled foolishly. However, as he spoke, smoke began to rise from his head and his temperature rapidly rose.

Under the Earth Spirit Tree.

Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and was speechless.

He did not expect those three to run so far away.

He could not even use the incense calculator to calculate where they were.

Right now, he could only pray that they would be lucky and not cause trouble.

If they were to die so far away, he did not know if they could be reincarnated into Skyview Land. There was a high chance that it would be impossible.

Thinking of this, Jiang Changsheng was worried.

Jiang Jian was his favorite grandson, and he did not want anything to happen to him. Ping’an was his precious disciple, and Lin Haotian had been nurtured by him for hundreds of years. It would be a pity if they died before they could shine.

Bai Qi noticed the change in his expression and carefully asked.

Jiang Changsheng did not hide anything and told her the truth. Ji Wujun also opened her eyes.

“Remember, you must be careful when you go to the Great Wilderness in the future. Once you are sent to the other end of the Great Wilderness, even I will not be able to find you.”

Jiang Changsheng warned. The three demons hurriedly nodded. Ji Wujun was also secretly shocked.

She remembered that when she went out for an adventure, she had also encountered a stone formation. However, she was afraid of danger, so she stayed away.

Fortunately, she stayed away!

Within a dark palace in the Ancestral Palace.

Jiang Che sat in a medicinal cauldron, surrounded by Blood Qi. Blood vessels appeared on the surface of his body, similar to a diagram of meridians. It was a terrifying sight.

Concubine Yu came to his side and said, “Your Majesty, the Emperor seems to be at the end of his lifespan. Recently, he has appointed a crown prince and even imparted his strength to him.”

Jiang Che did not open his eyes and said, “Let him be. Even if he dies, he will

have no regrets.”

When he chose to concede the throne, he had already abandoned these distracting thoughts and devoted himself to pursuing longevity.

Concubine Yu said worriedly, “Aren’t you going to see him? After all, he is your favorite child.”

Speaking of children, her eyes revealed envy.

Jiang Che said, “If he has the heart, he should come and see me. It has been eleven years since he last came here. Everyone says that he is filial. In my opinion, he only has himself in his heart. Let nature take its course. Great Jing will not fall into chaos. Even if it falls into the hands of an incapable ruler, I replace him if I can live for that long. Plus, even without me, my ancestor will still be here.”

Due to his deep relationship with Concubine Yu, he told her about the real relationship between the Dao Ancestor and the Jiang Family. When Concubine Yu heard about it, she was extremely shocked.

After coming to Great Jing for so many years, she naturally knew the status of the Dao Ancestor.

No wonder the Dao Ancestor had been protecting Great Jing.

The Dao Ancestor’s love for her descendants made her yearn for children even more.

However, she was of a different race from Jiang Che and could not give birth to a child. Right now, she could only rely on the Sky Stealing Divine Technique.

“Your Majesty, how far have you cultivated the Sky Stealing Divine Technique?” Concubine Yu asked carefully.

Jiang Che opened his eyes. His pupils were reddish-brown in color, making him look rather bewitching.

The corners of his mouth curled up and he said, “I’m about to succeed. At that time, I can casually change my fate. Don’t you want a child? When I integrate your Essence Qi, it will naturally succeed.”

Concubine Yu was overjoyed. “Really?”

Jiang Che gently looked at the beauty in front of him and said, “I will always remember what you and the Spirit Race have done for me. I have been sincere to you in my life, so how could I lie to you? I was still thinking about when I should bring you to see the Dao Ancestor.”

When Concubine Yu heard that, she was shy and nervous. “Will the Dao

Ancestor despise my background?”

Jiang Che shook his head and laughed. “How can that be? There are still demons in his courtyard. You still remember Bai Qi who came here before, right? That demoness wants to please the Dao Ancestor all day long. She must have been tempted. Even though the Dao Ancestor ignored her, he did not chase her away. This means that in his heart, race is not that important as long as they do no evil.”

Concubine Yu was even happier when she heard that.

Bai Qi, who was lying by a medicinal cauldron, suddenly felt an itch on her nose and could not help but rub it with her claws.

Jiang Changsheng was currently concocting pills. As he concocted the pills, he paid attention to Lin Haotian and the other two’s thoughts.

He could tell what had happened to them through their hearts.

He did not know what that kid, Ping’an, had eaten, but his true qi was boiling and his strength had increased greatly. However, he was too excited and could not stop running around.

Jiang Jian and the other two had been chasing after Ping’an, and they had yet to encounter any living creatures.

They had been running for half a month, but they had yet to encounter any living creatures. They had arrived at an unknown and silent land.

Jiang Changsheng calculated Ping’an’s net worth. This kid’s net worth had increased so quickly.

What kind of flower was it that made Ping’an almost reach the strength of a Two Grotto-heaven realm expert? It had to be known that this was not a breakthrough. If he were to break through now, his true qi would probably soar to the peak of the Two Grotto-heaven realm, approaching the Three Grotto-heaven realm..
