Chapter 280: Dragon and Phoenix Appear, Tai Wa’s Curiosity

“My child has become a thorn in Great Jing’s side. To be honest, I am also afraid of the child, but when I see Concubine Yu… Alas, if Concubine Yu dies, I don’t want to live alone. I can only entrust my child to you. You must teach the child well. Don’t let the child bully the weak and don’t oppose Great Jing.”

Jiang Che sighed and said bitterly.

Everyone looked at him in a new light.

He, who pursued longevity, would actually die for Concubine Yu. Such feelings were touching.

Jiang Changsheng frowned and said, “You don’t care for longevity anymore?”

Jiang Che said, “No. If not for my pursuit of longevity, why would Concubine Yu face such a choice? Let my child pursue my goal of longevity on my behalf.”

He revealed a carefree smile and drank the tea in one gulp.

Jiang Changsheng was silent.

In fact, when Jiang Che chose to pursue longevity, even though it was difficult, Jiang Changsheng was a little happy in his heart. At the very least, there were like-minded people like him. However, he did not expect Jiang Che to give up such a dream for the sake of his child.

If it were him, he would not give up.

Precisely because of this, his mood was somewhat complicated.

However, he soon came to a realization. He could see through the cycle of reincarnation and find old friends, but Jiang Che could not. Even if he had a long life, once someone passed away, they would really pass away and never come back.

Furthermore, the crisis of longevity they faced was different. Jiang Changsheng had an unlimited lifespan. What he was afraid of was powerful enemies and hardships. He was already standing at the end of the pursuit of all living beings.

Jiang Changsheng asked, “Do you want to be with Concubine Yu forever?”

Jiang Che was stunned for a moment before he hastily said, “Of course I do. What method do you have? Can you make us live forever?”

The others looked at Jiang Changsheng.

Jiang Changsheng rolled his eyes and said, “How is that possible? I’m just asking. You still have to die. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the cycle of the Heavenly Dao. I haven’t fully comprehended it yet.” Jiang Che was disappointed, and so were the others.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Che finally left.

Evidently, his life would soon come to an end. Bai Qi, Ji Wujun, Huang Tian, and Hei Tian felt sad as they looked at his old back.

Tai Wa was deep in thought.

Golden Crow tilted its head and seemed to be in a daze.

In the 10th year of the Yan Yuan Era, Concubine Yu had been pregnant for eight years.

This matter had become well-known news. Countless people were curious and worried about when this child would be born. The public also called the child the Devil Fetus.

Shuntian Imperial City, imperial study.

Jiang Liu held a book in his hand and listened to the White-robed Guard’s report. As he listened, he lost interest in reading. He frowned and muttered, “It has been eight years. What kind of freak is that..

Even though Concubine Yu’s child was his imperial uncle, he had never regarded Concubine Yu’s child as a member of the Jiang Family. Not only him, but the entire Jiang Family also had the same thought. She had been pregnant for eight years but had yet to give birth. It was really terrifying.

Great Jing had been peaceful for a hundred years. It would soon be time for a disaster to come. Could this disaster be the Devil Fetus?

The White-robed Guard did not dare to answer. How could he dare to say anything about the imperial family?

Jiang Liu pondered for a long time before he shook his head and said, “Who cares? In any case, there’s the Dao Ancestor here. Go down. Don’t tell me about the Devil Fetus in the future. I just want to establish the Barren Province as soon as possible!”

“Yes!”

The White-robed Guard responded and immediately left.

Jiang Liu picked up the Record of Mysteries again. The Record of Mysteries recorded all sorts of legends about the Dao Ancestor. It was fabricated by a senior in the martial arts world. He had to admit that it was very interesting.

Even though Jiang Liu was afraid of the Dao Ancestor, the person he admired the most was also him. After all, he knew the real identity of the Dao Ancestor. Looking at the Dao Ancestor on this level of understanding was even more shocking.

The Dao Ancestor was the same age as Great Jing. At his age, a martial artist who could reach the Grotto-Heaven realm was already a genius, while the Dao Ancestor had already reached the realm of invincibility.

It was even rumored that the Dao Ancestor might have been invincible the moment he reached adulthood. That was because ever since the Dao Ancestor became famous, no one knew how strong he was. In any case, no matter how strong the enemy was, the Dao Ancestor could deal with them.

So f*cking fierce.

Jiang Liu loved to read this book because it told him that practicing martial arts was useless.

Some people were born as immortals, while others would only waste their lifespan even if they trained hard for hundreds of years.

Compared to practicing martial arts, he hoped that he could give birth to an immortal. After all, his ancestors had given birth to an existence like the Dao Ancestor. Why couldn’t he give birth to a second Dao Ancestor?

On the other side.

Jiang Changsheng was currently paying attention to Jiang Jian and the others.

After hiding for many years, the four of them finally could not take it anymore and prepared to explore that direction again. They were already prepared to face the Immemorial Venerable.

As expected!

They were still obstructed by Immemorial Venerable’s huge finger. After some probing, they gave up.

That Immemorial Venerable still did not kill them.

Jiang Changsheng did not attack rashly. In any case, Jiang Jian and the others could continue to become stronger. The stronger they were, the stronger the power Jiang Changsheng would give them.

He did not know what the Immemorial Venerable was waiting for, but he was waiting for an opportunity.

Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and said, “White Dragon, Golden Crow, fly above Jingcheng and let everyone see your elegance as you hover above the Ancestral Palace.”

Recently, the people in Jingcheng had become more and more resistant towards the Ancestral Palace. There were even many citizens hawking outside the Ancestral Palace, and even throwing rotten eggs and vegetables inside. The anger of the people had to be curbed.

How could he curb it?

Then let the Devil Fetus become a Divine Fetus!

White Dragon and Golden Crow were overjoyed when they heard that. They immediately stood up and flew out. They had long wanted to fly around the city.

The pair had yet to fly out of the mountain when they released a long cry that alarmed the entire city. They were not stupid and understood that they had to make a sound first so that the people would know that they came out of Longqi Mountain to avoid being attacked by powerful martial artists.

The current Great Jing could be said to be filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There were as many experts as there were clouds, and even if they were powerful, they had to be careful.

“A dragon!”

“Is that a phoenix? The appearance of both a dragon and phoenix is an auspicious sign!”

“It’s not a phoenix, right? Does a phoenix have three claws?”

“They came from Longqi Mountain. It seems like they were raised by the Dao Ancestor.”

“Look, they are hovering above the Ancestral Palace. Is this an act of protection or are they trying to expel the Devil Fetus?”

Martial artists leaped to the nearby pavilions and courtyard walls, looking at the True Dragon and Golden Crow above the Ancestral Palace.

A dragon’s roar and a crow’s cry echoed in Jingcheng, startling more and more people.

When White Dragon and Golden Crow hovered above the Ancestral Palace and refused to leave for a long time, the citizens finally realized that perhaps Concubine Yu’s child was not a devil fetus.

In the hearts of the people of Great Jing, the Dao Ancestor was the god that protected Great Jing. How could they be unreasonable when he gestured to them like that?

For a moment, more and more citizens in Jingcheng began to kowtow to White Dragon and Golden Crow.

Within the Ancestral Palace.

Jiang Che trembled as he walked out the door. He was touched as he looked at White Dragon and Golden Crow in the sky.

“You’re still soft-hearted. That’s right, you’ve always been like this. Although you don’t care about anything on the surface, you can’t help it..

Jiang Che muttered to himself and revealed a smile on his face. He felt more at ease than ever before.

He had almost forgotten the fatherly love of Jing Tianzong, but he still remembered the love of his ancestor.

White Dragon and Golden Crow flew above the Ancestral Palace before returning to Longqi Mountain. An hour was enough for the entire city to witness their divine appearance.

The news quickly spread throughout the land.

Dragons and phoenixes were auspicious. The Son of God that the Dao Ancestor favored was about to be born!

When the sects heard that, they immediately publicized the matter. They were all smart people and understood the Dao Ancestor’s intentions. They began to flatter Concubine Yu’s unborn child.

Half a year later, there were still people gathering outside the Ancestral Palace. However, they were all here to pay their respects, thinking that another immortal was about to reincarnate.

The matter of the Devil Fetus finally came to an end.

In the courtyard.

Bai Qi lamented, “Master, you’re amazing. Just by letting them go out for a walk, the people has changed their prejudice. Impressive.”

Golden Crow said proudly, “Who asked me, Golden Crow, to be so beautiful and handsome!”

Bai Qi said, “What Golden Crow? Others think that you are a phoenix. The rumors are about a dragon and a phoenix, not a dragon and a crow.”

“What? Ridiculous! Have they never seen a phoenix? Does a phoenix have three claws?”

“Have you seen a phoenix?”

Golden Crow choked and could only glare at Bai Qi angrily.

Ji Wujun smiled and said, “In fact, what the people value is the Dao Ancestor’s intentions. Without the Dao Ancestor, what True Dragon? What Phoenix? Martial artists would treat them as prey. How many legendary auspicious beasts have been killed and eaten by humans?”

Golden Crow nodded. He was once a swallow demon and had seen such things. Tai Wa asked curiously, “Are humans really that sinister?”

Ji Wujun looked at her and said, “With good people, there will naturally be bad people. It’s the same for demons, ferocious beasts, but as a whole, humans are good. Although humans will hunt demons, they will not eradicate them completely. They will even protect some races that are about to go extinct. However, if it were the other way around, demons wish they could eat all humans. Of course, there are also good demons among demons, but there are very few.”

Tai Wa was deep in thought.

Jiang Changsheng stared at her, secretly curious.

Ever since she left the Dao World, Tai Wa would often go to the edge of the cliff to observe humans. She would always think alone. Because she was a die-hard worshiper of his, Jiang Changsheng could hear her thoughts.

She was observing humans, and she was curious about their behavior.

She was also curious about demons, but other than being curious about life, she was not interested in anything.

Since I have named her Tai Wa, should I lead her to become the real Nuwa? Jiang Changsheng thought to himself.

Soon after, he dismissed that thought.

Create a race?

How could there be a divine land in the world where Nuwa could mold people?

Tai Wa was not an immortal cultivator.

Jiang Changsheng smiled and continued with his cultivation.

The others continued to chat. Even without Jiang Changsheng’s participation, they could still chat enthusiastically.

Two years later, it was the 12th year of the Yan Yuan Era.

The fetus in Concubine Yu’s stomach that had been conceived for ten years was finally about to be born.

Strong winds swept up between heaven and earth, and boundless martial arts spiritual energy surged towards the Ancestral Palace as thunderclouds began to gather.

Everyone in the city was alarmed. The commoners began to collect their clothes while the martial artists came to the eaves to take a look. Soon, they discovered the abnormality in the Ancestral Palace. From afar, a whirlwind visible to the naked eye formed above the palace.

A god was about to be born!

They instantly thought of that.

The Mu Family disciples guarding the Ancestral Palace were also nervous. From the looks of it, they would not have to undergo the lightning tribulation like the Dao Ancestor, right?

Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the Ancestral Palace with surprise.

The fetus was absorbing martial arts spiritual energy, unlike martial artists who only relied on martial arts spiritual energy to temper their bodies.

Within the Ancestral Palace.

Concubine Yu laid in bed. Her stomach was shockingly huge and extremely exaggerated. She revealed a painful expression and the midwives and servant maids around her were at a loss because her stomach was extremely hot. One of the midwives even fainted after her hand was burnt and filled with blisters just by touching her..
