Chapter 60: Thousand-year Foundation, Emperor’s Heart

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Hearing Eunuch Li’s words, Jiang Changsheng did not mind and felt that it was normal.

...

He had easily killed a True God realm expert, so how could the Mahayana Dragon Tower dare to come rashly?

As for creating more True God realm expert like Divine Monk Juexin, Jiang Changsheng was not afraid.

A True God realm expert was nothing!

That day when he killed Divine Monk Juexin, he just used the Imperial Sword Technique. He was just using it to raise the reputation of the Taiqing Sword Technique.

Not to mention a True God realm expert, he wouldn’t blink an eye if there was Golden Body realm expert!

Jiang Changsheng said, “I understand.”

Eunuch Li added, “Recently, the martial arts world has been very exciting. The Burning Sky Pavilion wanted to unify the martial arts world, but they encountered a wall on the Martial Peak. That day, a Grandmaster was born on the Martial Peak. With his divine technique and natural advantage, he single-handedly blocked the entire Burning Sky Pavilion.”

He began to talk about the martial arts world, and Jiang Changsheng listened with relish.

Ever since the founding of the dynasty by the Jing Martial Ancestor, Jiang Yuan, the martial arts world of the thirteen prefectures had been recovering and showing signs of becoming stronger. After Divine Monk Juexin exposed the True God realm with his death, the martial artists in the Heaven Arrival realm were not considered as top experts. Now, pursuing the True God realm had become the fanatical goal of the entire martial arts world.

Only by becoming a True God realm expert could one become a supreme expert in the martial arts world!

There was only one True God in the martial arts world of Great Jing, and that was Immortal Master Changsheng of the capital.

In the eyes of most martial artists, it would take more than three to five years to give birth to a second True God realm expert. Or it might even take longer.

Jiang Changsheng glanced at Eunuch Li. This old eunuch was already in his seventies or eighties, but he could still go through so much trouble. It was not easy to gather information for him everywhere.

According to Eunuch Li, he cultivated the Boy Technique. As long as his Yang

Essence did not leak, he could maintain in his peak state until the end of his lifespan.

Jiang Changsheng took out a bottle of medicinal pills and placed it on the table. “Take it. Take one every month from now on.”

Eunuch Li asked curiously, “Daoist Master, may I ask what this is for?”

“It can increase one’s lifespan.”

Nourishing the body and nurturing the essence and mind indeed had the effect of prolonging life.

When Eunuch Li heard that, he was pleasantly surprised. He hurriedly accepted it and kowtowed to thank Jiang Changsheng. Back then, Jiang Yuan relied on Jiang Changsheng’s medicine to hang on for a few years. Eunuch Li had seen it with his own eyes, so he naturally believed in Jiang Changsheng’s alchemy skills.

Jiang Changsheng was not stingy with such pills to those he was familiar with. However, he knew that the pills could only delay what was coming.

It was only a matter of time before they parted.

Perhaps this was the greatest vexation of immortality.

However, he felt that this was also a process of mental cultivation, as there was joy and melancholy in life.

The blue sky was cloudless.

There was a broken wall in the endless wasteland that was filled with corpses. Martial artists in dragon-patterned purple robes were absorbing the true qi of the dying. These martial artists looked old, and there were more than 30 of them.

In a dilapidated palace, a man in red placed his hands behind his waist and looked up at the huge Buddha statue in front of him.

The Fortune Buddha quickly entered the hall and half-knelt behind the red-robed man. He cupped his fists and said, “Tower Master, the Sword Qi Sect has been completely executed. When the elders finish absorbing their true qi, the Sword Qi Sect will no longer exist.”

The red-robed man was the master of the Mahayana Dragon Tower, Xiao Duotian. His red clothes were like blood with golden dragon patterns on them. His white hair was coiled under a golden crown, and there were two dragons playing with pearls on the golden crown. He looked domineering.

Xiao Duotian turned around. His face was weathered; he looked to be in his forties or fifties. His facial features were handsome, but his eyes were indifferent and lifeless.

He looked down at the Fortune Buddha and asked, “How’s Great Jing?”

The Fortune Buddha said in a deep voice, “Immortal Master Changsheng is still in the capital. The Emperor wants to start a golden age of martial arts, and

now…”

Hmm?

“When the surrounding dynasties heard about the treatment of martial artists in Great Jing, martial artists from all dynasties rushed to Great Jing. It was indeed a sign of prosperity. The Emperor even issued a secret order for the White-robed Guards and the Sky Martial Supervisor to assassinate officials of the Chu Dynasty in secret…”

When the Fortune Buddha said this, his expression was ugly. He had to admit that King Wei was ruthless.

Xiao Duotian said, “That is what an emperor should do. If the Mahayana Dragon Tower wins and this Emperor is willing to submit, I can give him a chance.”

The Fortune Buddha wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xiao Duotian walked out of the hall, and the Fortune Buddha hurriedly followed. They arrived outside the door and looked around. The Sword Qi Sect had already turned into ruins and was desolate. This was the scene after the battle.

When the Fortune Buddha saw this scene, he felt very uncomfortable. The once high and mighty Mahayana Dragon Tower had actually fallen to such a state because of one person.

Immortal Master Changsheng!

Although the Fortune Buddha was eager for revenge, he still had his rationality.

He could not help but ask, “Tower Master, all parties are eyeing the sect covetously. If we lose this battle, then…”

The Mahayana Dragon Tower could not afford to lose!

Xiao Duotian’s eyes were calm as he said, “I know, but if we don’t fight, without the thirteen prefectures, the Mahayana Dragon Tower will also be devoured by the various dynasties. Perhaps this is the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao. After all, the Mahayana Dragon Tower has monopolized the luck and resources of the thirteen prefectures and has the foundation of a thousand-year old dynasty. Maybe it’s time to repay its debt.”

“Anyway, we have to fight this battle. If we win, we will change the martial arts strategy of the Mahayana Dragon Tower. If we lose, we will help Great Jing. The Dragon Tower will not die and will only disappear temporarily. How can our thousand-year old foundation be uprooted by a single person?”

The Fortune Buddha was silent.

At this moment, a purple-robed old man walked over and cupped his fists, “Tower Master, after we absorb the cultivation of another sect, we will all be able to step into the True God realm.”

Xiao Duotian said, “Then let’s go to Great Jing. We can find a random sect in Great Jing and declare war on the Emperor of Great Jing. Let the Great Jing’s martial arts world see real martial arts and activate their awareness in martial arts!”

“Yes!”

The purple-robed old man replied and turned around to pass on the order.

Xiao Duotian looked in the direction of Great Jing and muttered, “You killed a True God realm expert with a single strike. I want to see if you have reached the legendary Golden Body realm.”

Golden Body realm?

The Fortune Buddha trembled in fear. There was a higher realm above the True God realm?

In the imperial study.

Jiang Ziyu lay on the dragon chair and flipped through the memorial in his hand, looking rather lazy.

At this moment, Chen Li walked in and bowed with his hands in front of him.

“Your Majesty, the Minister of Revenue asked me to make a suggestion. Although Your Majesty is sympathetic to the people, the policies promulgated are too benevolent, especially to the merchants. If this continues, the people will be rich and the merchants will have money, but the treasury will be short. This will not be beneficial to Your Majesty’s future plans.”

Jiang Ziyu said indifferently, “What grand plan do I have?”

Chen Li was stunned and suddenly did not know what to say. Although he had a straightforward personality, he had lived for more than 60 years and knew some things could not be said directly.

Jiang Ziyu put down the memorial and took a pen to mark the words. Then, he picked up another memorial and continued to read.

“Prime Minister Chen, tell your subordinates not to ask about my thoughts. You have to learn to distinguish. I am the ruler of a country. If everyone can predict my thoughts, wouldn’t such a Great Jing be riddled with holes? You are different from them. You are my master’s good friend and have made a great contribution to me. I definitely trust you, but don’t be willingly used as a knife.”

“Why didn’t the Minister of Revenue tell me directly? Why did you have to deliver the message?”

Jiang Ziyu glanced at him and said. This glance made Chen Li a little dazed. He seemed to have seen the Martial Ancestor, Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Ziyu said meaningfully, “The identity of the Chu people is the greatest stain on the Chen family. Be careful not to be schemed against.”

Chen Li broke out in cold sweat.

Jiang Ziyu closed the memorial and smiled. “Forget it. On account of your relationship with me, I won’t hide it from you, but don’t spread it. If a third person finds out, I will chop off your head. The reason why I did this isn’t entirely out of kindness. The treasury is in short supply, I know that. However, the Jing Dynasty has just experienced twenty years of war and has a lot of things to do. If I increase taxes on the people, it will definitely cause a bad impact. I still need the people to be united with me, so I am also tolerant of the merchants.”

“Merchants are flexible and close to the common people. When merchants become rich, they will definitely be estranged from the common people. Then, the common people will definitely be jealous of them. At that time, I will find a reason to deal with them. Even when the treasury is rich, the people will still favor me. Wouldn’t that be better?”

Chen Li looked at him in surprise. He did not expect Jiang Ziyu to have such thoughts at such a young age.

Jiang Ziyu smiled and said, “My goal is not only within Great Jing. Prime

Minister Chen, watch carefully and keep an eye on the Chen family. Let Young Master Chen rope in the Chu people. Recently, the Chen family has been a little arrogant.”

Chen Li hurriedly bowed and said, “This subject will remember!”

He understood that Jiang Ziyu was beating him up.

After Chen Li left, Yang Che also came. Facing the Empress’s grandfather, Jiang Ziyu was not polite. He also told Yang Che the purpose of his decision and then beat him up. Although the Yang family did not rope in the Chu people, they held too much military power.

After Yang Che left, a young eunuch walked in and brought him some snacks.

Jiang Ziyu asked, “What does Immortal Master Changsheng think of the snacks in the palace?”

The young eunuch replied, “Recently, he has been eating less. He even distributed it to… to the demon wolf he is raising.”

Jiang Ziyu said, “Then change to another chef. Pass down the order. Tell the imperial chef in charge of the snacks to scram back to his residence and ask the

Empress to help choose another one.”

The young eunuch received the order and hurriedly retreated.

Jiang Ziyu stood up and came to the window sill. He looked at the blue sky and frowned, his eyes still filled with worry.

He was not afraid of the thoughts of the civil and military officials, but as long as the Mahayana Dragon Tower was not eliminated, he would always feel uneasy.

October.

The Cangxu Sect, which could be ranked in the top ten in the martial arts world of Great Jing, was slaughtered. More than 2,000 disciples of the sect were sucked dry of their cultivation and died miserably. This case shocked the entire martial arts world, and the news also spread to the capital. The White-robed Guards were ordered by the Emperor to personally investigate.

“The Mahayana Dragon Tower is coming!”

Eunuch Li said with a solemn expression. Even he was afraid of the Mahayana Dragon Tower this time.

Jiang Changsheng said calmly, “So be it.”

Liu Wuyin, who was meditating and cultivating at the side, could not help but ask curiously, “What is the Mahayana Dragon Tower?”

Ling Xiao opened his eyes as well. Even though he had already entered the Spiritual Sense realm, he would still come to this courtyard to cultivate.

Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “A sect that is trying to turn the situation around.”

He looked at Eunuch Li and said, “You can leave first.”

Eunuch Li nodded and turned to leave.

Bai Qi walked in front of Jiang Changsheng and said in a low voice, “Daoist Master, the Mahayana Dragon Tower cannot be underestimated. I’ve also heard of their ultimate technique that can absorb the cultivation of others. It’s called the Heavenly Cycle Divine Technique. It’s said that this ultimate technique was learned from the legendary Xiansheng Grotto-heaven. ”

Xiansheng Grotto-heaven?

Jiang Changsheng did not expect Bai Qi to know about this faction. He could not help but ask, “How much do you know about the Xiansheng

Grotto-heaven?”

Liu Wuyun and Ling Xiao also listened attentively and were very curious.

Bai Qi lay on the ground and said helplessly, “How would I know? I’ve only heard that the Xiansheng Grotto-heaven is the holy land of martial arts for you humans. Even the ten great dynasties don’t dare to provoke it.” Jiang Changsheng said angrily, “Then get lost. Stop talking nonsense.”

Bai Qi stared at the snacks on the table and asked, “Can I…”

Jiang Changsheng casually picked up a pastry and threw it at the Earth Spirit Tree. Bai Qi jumped and caught it in the air. Then, it lay down and licked its food, unwilling to finish it in one bite.

“It’s so delicious. I have to sneak into the palace to steal some when I have time. Otherwise, there will be too little…”

Bai Qi thought to itself. It was very satisfied with its current life. Relying on the

Earth Spirit Tree, its demonic power was constantly increasing. Moreover, Jiang Changsheng protected its safety. And occasionally, there would be such delicious food. It really did not want to leave.

Of course, it did not let Jiang Changsheng raise it for nothing. Occasionally, when martial arts practitioners came to cause trouble, it would secretly take action. After all, it was a demon comparable to a Divine realm expert. If it was a martial artist, it would be considered a Grandmaster! Jiang Changsheng called out his incense points.

[Current incense points: 11,702]

He hesitated to deduce the current strength of the Mahayana Dragon Tower. After all, time had passed and the Mahayana Dragon Tower had become stronger.

He would give it a try!

“Can I easily suppress the entire Mahayana Dragon Tower?” [Requires 2,000 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]

Hmm?

It had doubled.

However, it was not too strong.

Jiang Changsheng directly chose no. There was no need to calculate anymore.

If it exceeded 5,000 incense points, he would still be steady.

The Mahayana Dragon Tower was becoming stronger, but he was not idle.. Just his spiritual energy alone had increased by more than twice!
