Chapter 61: The Dragon Tower Descends, All Life Is Despaired

Translator: Henyee Translations      Editor: Henyee Translations

Ever since the Mahayana Dragon Tower slaughtered more than 2,000 martial artists, everyone in the pugilistic world was in a panic. Even the previously insufferably arrogant Burning Heaven Pavilion had stopped making a ruckus. Even if the White-robed Guards investigated, they could not find the real culprit. At this moment, the information about the Mahayana Dragon Tower spread in the pugilistic world.

...

A thousand-year-old holy land controlled the change of dynasties!

Grandmaster disciples, True God elders, unparalleled divine skills, and so on!

All kinds of news spread like wildfire. No one knew who spread it. The entire martial arts world was shocked and felt that it was exaggerated and ridiculous.

How could there be a martial arts sect that had existed for more than a thousand years? How could the imperial power be controlled by a martial arts sect?

Capital.

In the throne room, Jiang Ziyu, who was wearing a dragon robe, glared at the court officials and said in a low voice, “You haven’t found out? Are all of you trash?”

The rumors in the martial arts world had already reached the ears of the commoners. This was extremely disadvantageous to the imperial rule, and it could easily lower the status of imperial power in the hearts of the commoners.

The entire court was silent.

Suddenly, a general asked, “Is the existence of the Mahayana Dragon Tower real

As soon as these words were spoken, the other officials also looked at Jiang Ziyu.

Yang Che snorted, “Even if it’s real, do you think the Mahayana Dragon Tower is able to do anything to His Majesty?”

His words made sense to many ministers. It was no longer a secret that the Emperor had the backing of Immortal Master Changsheng, a Martial Arts Legend.

Jiang Ziyu said calmly, “That’s right, it’s true. The late emperor and the former crown prince were both supported by the Mahayana Dragon Tower. The former crown prince was bewitched by the Mahayana Dragon Tower and tried to assassinate the late emperor, wanting to listen to the orders of the Mahayana Dragon Tower to restore Chu.”

Everyone was moved.

Restore Chu!

The late emperor had once raised this ridiculous suggestion. Although it was suppressed in the end, they had more or less heard of it.

As officials of Great Jing, they naturally could not tolerate the matter of restoring Chu.

They did not dare to think too much about it and felt a sense of danger.

Seeing the change in the expressions of the ministers, Jiang Ziyu continued, “The Mahayana Dragon Tower is declaring war. Since they want to fight, I’ll wait for them. However, we can’t let go of those who spread the news for the

Mahayana Dragon Tower!”

He began to give orders for the officials to increase the search.

At the same time, Jiang Changsheng also learned about this through Eunuch Li.

Jiang Changsheng raised his eyebrows, not understanding why the Mahayana Dragon Tower would do this. Did they want to humiliate the Jiang Family?

Eunuch Li said in a low voice, “I guess that the Mahayana Dragon Tower wants to attract people to watch the battle. If they win, they will control the Jing Dynasty in one go and show their strength to the world. If they lose, it increase your prestige and make enemies for you. As far as I know, these rumors have already spread to the surrounding dynasties.”

Jiang Changsheng was enlightened. This move was really ruthless.

If other dynasties knew that Jiang Changsheng could easily suppress the Mahayana Dragon Tower, they would definitely be wary of him and even form an alliance against him.

Jiang Changsheng did not panic. The other courts were not that rash. As long as Jiang Changsheng did not threaten them, they would not attack him in a short period of time.

How could the various dynasties unite so easily?

At most, the Mahayana Dragon Tower would bury sow some doubt.

The Golden Body eealm was a legendary realm to a dynasty, let alone the Universe realm!

Jiang Changsheng thought to himself that he still needed to work harder to become stronger. The cultivation medicinal pills on the Heavenly Object Pill Manual should also be brought up. He was prepared to get the Emperor to help him gather medicinal herbs.

Only he could consume immortal cultivation pills, so he was not afraid of being discovered. For example, other than him, only demon beasts with powerful physiques could consume Spirit Boosting Pills.

He was the only one in the world who cultivated. Therefore, the resources for cultivation were equivalent to him enjoying them alone!

This was also his advantage over other martial artists!

“Yes, continue to keep an eye on him. If there are any movements, look for me at any time,” Jiang Changsheng said with a nod.

Eunuch Li bowed and turned to leave.

Jiang Changsheng suddenly felt that it was good to have Eunuch Li. He indeed needed to nurture an intelligence force. He must not only cultivate, but he also had to know about the world so that he could prevent unknown dangers in advance.

Let’s start with Eunuch Li. If it was passed down from generation to generation, it would definitely spread throughout the world in a few hundred years.

Jiang Changsheng began to let his imagination run wild.

More and more news was released by the Mahayana Dragon Tower, and in the end, it revealed its ambition. The Mahayana Dragon Tower would descend on the capital and let the martial arts world of Great Jing see the power of a thousand-year-old holy land. Coupled with the instigation of some people, more and more martial arts experts began to rush to the capital. A thousand-year-old holy land versus a Martial Arts Legend!

A battle between gods!

All kinds of gimmicks went viral in the martial arts world. Even the martial artists from the neighboring dynasties came after hearing the news.

Gradually, even the disciples of Longqi Temple learned of this matter. They were also shocked by the power of the Mahayana Dragon Tower, but they did not panic. They believed in Jiang Changsheng. The Daoist Master was the number one in the world!

Time flew by.

In the 2nd year of the Qianwu Era, the imperial guards in the capital expanded their army to 200,000. The four city gates were guarded by imperial guards.

There were more and more martial artists coming and going in the city. Martial arts practitioners could be seen on the streets. As there were no prohibited weapons in the capital, it was easy to distinguish between martial arts practitioners and commoners.

Mid-February.

Jiang Changsheng was refining pills in the courtyard. He had asked Jiang Ziyu to order someone to forge a huge cauldron. What he received was a majestic cauldron that could withstand higher temperatures.

Bai Qi lay at Jiang Changsheng’s feet and kept sticking out its tongue like a dog.

It was about to die.

The spiritual fragrance in the medicinal cauldron made it crazy, but with Jiang Changsheng beside it, it did not dare to act rashly. Jiang Changsheng glanced at it and said, “You want to eat it?” Bai Qi nodded with all its might, its wolf eyes shining.

“That won’t do. Such medicinal pills are extremely precious…” Jiang Changsheng shook his head.

Bai Qi panicked and gritted its teeth. “Daoist Master, as long as you can reward me with this pill, I can transform into a woman… You can have any appearance and figure you want…

Jiang Changsheng’s face twitched as he said angrily, “Nonsense. Who do you think I am? This pill can’t be leaked. But if you want to consume it, you have to completely submit to me.”

Bai Qi hurriedly said, “I’m willing to serve you forever, Daoist Master.”

It did not pursue much in its life. It just wanted to survive and become stronger. It could achieve this by being in Jiang Changsheng’s side. It did not have any family that it cared about because they had long been slaughtered by the martial artists of the Donglin Dynasty.

Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Then I’ll reluctantly accept you.” He could use Bai Qi to test the pill.

After all, he had raised White Dragon. It would not be good if it died from eating his experimental pills. But Bai Qi was different. If it died, so be it.

There were three medicinal pills in the cauldron. Jiang Changsheng had just used his spiritual energy to shape them. Next, he would boil them over a large fire to increase the speed at which spiritual energy entered the pill. This process would take at least a few days.

“You can’t consume this pill yet. You can sense the richness of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, right? If you forcefully consume it, your demonic power will definitely run amok and your body will explode and you will die,” Jiang Changsheng instructed.

Bai Qi nodded. “Master, this servant understands.”

Jiang Changsheng said helplessly, “Why do you call yourself a servant?”

Bai Qi smiled and said, “This servant has seen human women call themselves that when facing their master.”

“There’s no need for that between us. Just continue to call me Daoist Master in the future.

“I understand.”

Jiang Changsheng was about to say more when he suddenly turned to look in the direction of the North City Gate and narrowed his eyes.

‘They’re here!’

Bai Qi did not hear Jiang Changsheng’s reply and could not help but raise its head. It noticed Jiang Changsheng’s gaze and looked over, but it did not find anything unusual.

It asked, “Daoist Master, what’s wrong?”

Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Those who are courting death are finally here.”

Dark clouds suddenly surged over from the distant horizon, as if a black curtain had swept over. It was extremely oppressive.

When Bai Qi heard that, it immediately became nervous, and its wolf fur stood on end. It swallowed its saliva and said, “The Mahayana Dragon Tower… is considered a powerful existence among the ten dynasties. I don’t know how strong the Mahayana Dragon Tower is, but if a sect comes out in full strength, it will definitely be terrifying. I’ve never seen this kind of scene in a hundred years. Master, you have to be careful and not be careless.”

Jiang Changsheng nodded and looked at the medicinal cauldron again.

After the time for an incense stick to burn, dark clouds covered the sky above the capital. At noon, there were signs that night was about to fall. The citizens, martial artists, and imperial guards in the city noticed the abnormality of the weather.

Boom—

Thunder from the blue sky sounded, deafening everyone and scaring many people.

The dark clouds turned into thunderclouds. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. An indescribable pressure enveloped the capital. More and more nobles and commoners walked out of their doors and looked up at the sky. Emperor Jiang Ziyu was the same.

Jiang Ziyu stood in front of the throne room and looked up. His expression was solemn as he muttered, “They’re finally here?”

Hua Jianxin appeared beside him and said softly, “He asked you not to go out. Stay in the palace and watch and leave everything to him alone.”

Jiang Ziyu nodded. Seeing that there were people around, he could not call Hua Jianxin his mother. He had no choice but to ask in a low voice, “Do you think he can safely survive this calamity?”

He also learned of the rumors in the martial world that the Mahayana Dragon Tower was going to mobilize and descend on the capital to show the world the power of a thousand-year holy land.

Hua Jianxin was wearing a mask, so no one could see her expression clearly. However, her eyes were very firm as she said, “Trust him. He is the most powerful person in the world.”

Right at this moment!

The thunderclouds in the sky were suddenly washed away, and figures fell one after another. All of them were wrapped in strong winds, like a tornado circling their bodies. The scene was spectacular and terrifying. When they gathered together, everyone in the city felt their chests tighten.

True Gods!

Many people who had witnessed the battle between Jiang Changsheng and Divine Monk Juexin were moved. This pressure was the same as Divine Monk Juexin in the past, making people feel fear. Only True God realm experts could fly in the air!

“One, two… thirty-two.. ”

Jiang Ziyu counted and his expression turned extremely ugly.

Thirty-two True God realm experts!

These True Gods were wearing all dragon-patterned purple robes. One look and one could tell that they were from the same faction. They were all old and the strong wind around them was mixed with Blood Qi. They looked down at the capital like gods.

“Today, the Mahayana Dragon Tower will fight against the current Martial Arts Legend. Watch carefully. The true martial arts world will unfold for the first time in front of you!”

A dignified voice resounded in the sky and echoed in the capital for a long time.

In the city, in a courtyard, the Four Seas Sage raised his head and muttered,

“Oh my god, those old fellows are really fighting with their lives. Looks like they are really determined to die. Tsk tsk, that kid Changsheng is in danger.”

When Jiang Changsheng heard this, he suddenly felt that the Mahayana Dragon Tower was very considerate. They did not attack the capital but descended openly and only targeted him.

However, on second thought, it was normal. The purpose of the Mahayana Dragon Tower aiming for him was not revenge, but to control the situation. Why would they kill their own people?

Jiang Changsheng stood up and began to stretch his muscles to show his respect.

Bai Qi was so frightened by the 32 True Gods that it trembled in place. It had never seen such a scene. It wanted to remind Jiang Changsheng, but it did not know what to say.

Wang Chen, Huang Chuan, Ling Xiao, Ping’an, and the others entered the courtyard one after another. Seeing Jiang Changsheng stretching his muscles, they became even more nervous.

“This is the first time I’ve seen Master like this…

Huang Chuan said in a low voice with a solemn expression. The others did not dare to say anything and could only pray for Jiang Changsheng in their hearts.

“The Mahayana Dragon Tower has sent 32 True Gods and an existence that surpasses the True God realm like me to challenge you. Immortal Master Changsheng, why aren’t you showing yourself to fight?!”

The majestic voice sounded again, shaking the world.

Countless martial artists were moved. What realm was beyond the True God realm?

Under their gazes, a bolt of lightning split open the lightning clouds. Amidst the lightning, a figure slowly descended. He was dressed in red, and his clothes were noble and domineering. He wore an emperor-like crown on his head, and his body emitted a faint light, as if an immortal had descended to the mortal world. His aura covered the pressure of all the True God realm experts.

If everyone felt fear when facing the 32 True God realm experts, no one was be able to raise any fighting spirit when facing him. There would only be despair.

“How can martial artists be so strong…’

Jiang Ziyu’s entire body trembled. His hands were clenched tightly in his sleeves, and his eyes were bloodshot.

With such a realm in martial arts, as an emperor, how could he be at ease?!
