3-7 billion incense points, it was that guy!
Jiang Changsheng’s expression brightened as his heart was filled with expectations.
Was the other party about to make a move?
He dispersed his spiritual will and swept across Skyview Land, but he did not discover that existence. If he were to expand his search to the Great Wilderness, the range would be even larger.
He began to sense the thoughts of the worshipers and searched for any abnormalities.
After a long time, he still could not discover that existence and could only give up.
It was impossible for the other party to flatten Great Jing without anyone noticing. As long as the other party attacked, Jiang Changsheng would be able to capture his aura.
Jiang Changsheng looked at the noisy courtyard and smiled before he continued with his training.
Jiang Tianming’s appearance caused Longqi Mountain to become lively again. Bai Qi, White Dragon, Golden Crow, Huang Tian, and Hei Tian surrounded him all day long. Even Tai Wa would occasionally take care of him. Even though he had no parents, he did not lack love.
Strands of sunlight pierced through the fog that shrouded Longqi Mountain and sprinkled on the courtyard.
Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes and used his spiritual will to turn off the Immortal Fog Formation on Longqi Mountain, allowing Jiang Tianming’s childhood to be bright and beautiful. At this point, this formation was simply useless and had no beneficial effects.
When they saw the change in Longqi Mountain, everyone could sense Jiang Changsheng’s feelings for Jiang Tianming.
It had been a long time since the Dao Ancestor doted on someone like this.
The burial of the Jing Mingzong soon came to an end, but it did not cause much of a commotion. After all, he was the former emperor.
However, the people started to reminisce about the merits of Jing Mingzong. There were even many people who were discussing whose merits were greater among the previous emperors. Even though the current Emperor loved to enjoy life, he did not mistreat the common people. He was even liberal in his policies. This was also the reason why the common people dared to talk about the imperial family.
It was not until the 13th year of the Yan Yuan Dynasty that the matter between Jing Mingzong and his son gradually calmed down. Everyone was attracted to another matter.
The Emperor had issued an edict to launch the grand plan of establishing the Barren Province this year and required the people to register for the Barren Province’s household registration. If they wanted to build a province, other than powerful martial artists, it also needed laborers to build a city.
For a moment, the world was in an uproar. The Barren Province’s civil registration system was so well-received that countless people wanted to participate. The martial arts sects even sent those in power to Shuntian City to meet the Emperor.
Skyview Land was located at the edge of the Great Wilderness. Even though it was peaceful, it was not enough for these martial arts forces. Since they needed to go deeper into the Great Wilderness to search for more resources, wouldn’t it be better if they could borrow the power of Great Jing?
Two years later.
In the 15th year of the Yan Yuan Era, the Barren Province’s teleportation array was officially activated. At present, it was only activated in Shuntian City.
That year, Jiang Tianming was already three years old!
Even though he was three years old, he still looked about the same age as a male infant. However, he was more flexible and could already speak words.
His body had not grown up, but his blood and qi had been strengthening. In terms of strength alone, no one in the courtyard could compare to him except for Jiang Changsheng.
Noon.
Jiang Changsheng was concocting pills when Jiang Tianming, who was wearing a red undergarment, came to him. He pulled on his sleeve and asked in a childish voice, “Great-grandfather, I want to eat too.”
Bai Qi widened her eyes and shouted, “How dare you snatch our medicinal pills? You’re already abnormal enough!”
Jiang Tianming turned to look at her and made a teasing expression. Bai Qi was so angry that she pounced on him. However, he quickly jumped away. No matter how hard she chased, she could not catch this little guy.
Jiang Changsheng looked at the chase and smiled. He suddenly thought of the times when he taught Jiang Ziyu and Jiang Xiu.
Time passed so quickly.
At that moment, Huang Tian came over and carefully said, “Master, when can Hei Tian and I go down the mountain?”
The two cat demons looked small, but they had actually reached the Universe realm. They were not far from the Grotto-heaven realm and could already protect themselves.
Ever since Jiang Tianming appeared, they had been deeply stimulated. In the past, their cultivation speed was considered the fastest in the courtyard, but compared to Jiang Tianming, the difference was really huge. Therefore, they had the thought of going down the mountain and exploring the Great Wilderness.
“Anytime.”
Jiang Changsheng stared at the medicinal cauldron and answered softly.
Huang Tian thought it had misheard. It was stunned for a moment before it cheered in pleasant surprise.
Bai Qi nervously said, “Master, are you really going to let them go down the mountain? I’m worried that these two idiots will die!”
Jiang Changsheng said, “They need to gain some experience anyways. Since they want to go down, let them go.”
Huang Tian woke up Hei Tian who was sound asleep and informed it of this. Hei Tian immediately became excited and the two demons immediately went down the mountain in a flurry.
Jiang Tianming also wanted to follow, but he was stopped by Ji Wujun. He was lifted in the air by Ji Wujun and could not break free no matter how hard he struggled. In the end, he began to cry, but unfortunately, no one comforted him.
Jiang Changsheng would not indulge him in everything. This kid’s talent was already terrifying. If he continued to indulge him, he would definitely turn the world upside down in the future.
Golden Crow leaned against the wall and looked at White Dragon who was napping in the corner of the courtyard. It asked curiously, “Do you think those two little guys can really become Demon Emperors?”
White Dragon yawned and said casually, “Don’t listen to their nonsense. They will definitely return in a few years.”
In any case, it did not want to go down the mountain or unite the demon race. It did not even like to fight.
It was better to sleep under the sun than to think about such trivial things all day long. Sleeping was the best thing in the world.
The scorching sun hung high above, and the mountains rose and fell. A winding river shuttled through the mountains, with no end in sight.
By the river, a half-naked young man was in a horse stance. There was a purple stone on his head, shoulders, arms, and two thighs. He was trembling and panting like an ox. Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead like raindrops. There was a vertical mark between his eyebrows. He looked energetic under the sunlight.
The young man had a handsome appearance and a slightly thin physique. He gritted his teeth and said, “Master, how long do I need to hold on? I can’t hold on any longer.”
Not far away, a black-robed man sat on a rock and quietly trained.
It was the mysterious existence that came for the new imperial family member.
He was the Nine Nether Devil King, and he was in the third level of the Heaven and Earth Emperor realm!
The Nine Nether Devil King did not even open his eyes and calmly said, “Hold on for another hour or until you faint.”
When the young man heard that, his expression turned bitter and he could only grit his teeth and persist.
In order to divert his attention, he had no choice but to chat.
“Master, who exactly are you? What realm are you in? You should be in the legendary Grotto-heaven realm, right?” The young man asked with great difficulty.
The Nine Nether Devil King indifferently said, “I guess so.”
The young man’s eyes revealed admiration as he said, “My father respected
Grotto-heaven realm experts very much. Ever since I was young, I wanted to acknowledge a Grotto-heaven realm expert as my teacher, but my father did not allow it. He did not allow us to practice martial arts because he was afraid that we would surpass my brother. Alas, in fact, I have no intention of fighting for the position of crown prince. Compared to the position of emperor, I want to be a free and unrestrained martial artist.
The Nine Nether Devil King did not reply.
“Damn it. I only came out secretly to hunt and was unexpectedly attacked. It must be the work of my brother’s henchmen. If not for you saving me, I would have died right now. Alas, even if I were dead, my father would not care. My mother died young. Ever since I was young, my father has never specially visited me. Perhaps he has forgotten the existence of a son like me.”
“Let me tell you, my father is really a playboy. Two years ago, he even had an illegitimate son in Shuntian City. I really don’t understand. There are so many concubines in the palace. Aren’t they enough for him to enjoy himself? Why does he have to pick the flowers among the commoners?”
As he ridiculed Jiang Liu, the young man talked incessantly.
The Nine Nether Devil King frowned and felt vexed.
Why were human children so noisy?
When he thought of his grand plan, he could only endure it.
After an unknown period of time, the young man fell to the ground with a plop and fainted.
The Nine Nether Devil King stood up and took out a plant similar to a cactus from his sleeve. He crushed it and poured it into the young man’s mouth.
“His talent is too poor. He’s simply trash. If not for this luck, why would I have to go through so much trouble…”
The Nine Nether Devil King muttered to himself. He stood up and turned into black gas that dissipated into the air.
When the young man woke up, it was already dusk. The fragrance of meat wafted into his nose. He turned around and saw the Nine Nether Devil King roasting meat on the side. He immediately became excited and got up. But as he got up, his muscles and bones hurt from pulling too hard and he gritted his teeth in pain.
“Master, it smells so good. What kind of meat is this?”
“The meat of the Source Deer belongs to a relatively weak ferocious beast. It is suitable for a weakling like you to strengthen your physique.”
“Master, you’re so good to me. You’re the second person to treat me well since I was young. The first one was Eunuch Wang. However, when I was young, I accidentally ran into Eldest Brother’s courtyard. The Empress got angry and wanted to punish me because of that. However, Eunuch Wang took the blame for me and disappeared after that. Someone said that he was chased out of the palace by Father. Alas…”
The corners of the Nine Nether Devil King’s mouth twitched. No matter what, this kid was always talking about that trivial matter.
Seeing that the young man was about to continue, the Nine Nether Devil King had no choice but to ask, “How much do you know about the Dao Ancestor of Great Jing?”
He had previously sent the Lie Race to Great Jing, but all of them died. Therefore, when he came to Great Jing again, he did not act rashly. After he spent some time understanding Great Jing, he learned of the strongest expert in Great Jing.
The Dao Ancestor of Great Jing!
Even the martial artists of the vassal countries at the edge of Great Jing were filled with reverence for the Dao Ancestor.
He wanted to hear about the opinions of the imperial family of Great Jing regarding the Dao Ancestor.
When the young man heard that, he became even more excited and said, “Dao
Ancestor, I know him well. I know him very well!”
He began to talk incessantly about the legends and stories of the Dao Ancestor, starting from the first time he was famous.
In Great Jing, it was inconvenient to transmit information. As time passed, most people had forgotten the story of the Dao Ancestor two hundred years ago. However, the imperial family did not. These feats were specially recorded by the civil servants, and the children of the imperial family had to study them from a young age. Even Jiang Liu, who wanted to break free from the restrictions of the Dao Ancestor, had his children study his feats from a young age.
Jiang Liu was not stupid. He only wanted to be a carefree emperor, but he did not want to sever his relationship with the Dao Ancestor. If the imperial family were to fall one day and his descendants could still remember the relationship between the Jiang Family and the Dao Ancestor, they might be able to save the Jiang Family.
The Nine Nether Devil King listened attentively.
When he heard stories like Scattering Beans into Soldiers, Revival, and moving a continent, his heart gradually sank to the bottom.
As a Heaven and Earth Emperor realm expert, his knowledge was even more vast. However, even he found some of the Dao Ancestor’s methods unimaginable.
Revival. He could still treat it as if those people were just faking their deaths.
To lift a continent to the Great Wilderness…
This was something he could not understand.
Previously, he was wondering how humans came about. So that was how it happened.
This was simply outrageous!
When he heard the young man mention the Dao Ancestor transforming into a dragon, he was surprised for the first time..
