Chapter 120: The Powerful Mu Family, the Saint King's Plan
“It is separation that makes meeting become precious, and it is not seeing each other that makes us look forward to meeting again.”
Jiang Changsheng touched Mu Lingluo's head and smiled softly.
Mu Lingluo didn't understand, so she said excitedly: "I have learned a set of sword techniques recently, Brother Changsheng, shall we practice?"
At the age of eight, she has begun to understand things and no longer cares about things like she did when she was four. She already knows that she is gifted, and under the influence of the people around her and Jiang Changsheng, she has become interested in martial arts.
Her family wanted her to learn martial arts because the family needed it, and Jiang Changsheng wanted her to learn martial arts because he wanted her to live longer.
Faced with Mu Lingluo's request, Jiang Changsheng naturally would not refuse, and the two began to exchange martial arts.
Jiang Changsheng naturally couldn't kill Mu Lingluo instantly, so he had to let him go and just gain a slight advantage.
Half an hour later, Mu Lingluo gave up and said he was tired.
Jiang Changsheng laughed secretly. Can you feel tired even in your dreams?
The two sat by the lake, and Mu Lingluo began to talk about his worries.
She was born extraordinary and her family had high hopes for her. As she grew older, she lost her freedom and practiced martial arts all day long. Her family arranged five masters for her, covering internal strength, swordsmanship, body tempering, body movements, and martial arts history, and her every day was packed.
Jiang Changsheng was amused. Does this also include liberal arts?
It seems that the Mu family is extraordinary.
He listened carefully, but did not voice out the ridicule in his heart.
As dawn approached, Jiang Changsheng said goodbye to Mu Lingluo.
Mu Lingluo is still young, and all Jiang Changsheng has to do now is to accompany her to grow up, occasionally give her some pointers on martial arts, and listen to her thoughts.
Jiang Changsheng came out of the dream and opened his eyes. He used incense to calculate in his mind.
"I want to know how strong the strongest person in the Ancient Divine Continent is."
[The scope involved is too large to be calculated for the time being. The system needs time to sense the destiny of the world.]
"I want to know how powerful Mu Lingluo's family is."
[The scope involved is too large to be calculated for the time being . The system needs time to sense the destiny of the world.]
Jiang Changsheng was helpless. He had often made calculations like this over the years, but he could never figure it out.
How far is the Ancient Continent?
He stopped thinking about it and focused on practicing.
…
In the first year of Jiang Xiu's reign, he was very motivated, which resulted in the number of White Guards, Tianxiasi, and merchants traveling to and from the capital far exceeding that of before .
He vigorously promoted production, developed the country's natural resources, and promoted trade within the 72 states as well as external trade. His style also made the surrounding dynasties feel relieved.
This emperor was obviously not as warlike as the former Emperor Jing Taizong.
Jiang Xiu appointed Jiang Tianmin, the grandson appointed by Emperor Jing Taizong, as the crown prince, directly establishing him as the heir to the throne in an attempt to prevent the danger of a fight for the throne.
Jiang Xiu is 46 years old this year, almost 47, and he is at the stage of great ambition.
Longqi Temple is still exclusively respected by the new emperor, and the number of pilgrims increases every day. People, merchants, and warriors from the Great Wilderness area also begin to come to Sizhou. Under the governance of Jing Taizong, although there are seventy-two states in the world, thirteen states are still the main ones, and martial arts resources are also concentrated in the thirteen states. The two holy places are both located in Sizhou. Whether it is business, officialdom, or martial arts, the thirteen states are places that people all over the world yearn for, and Sizhou is the pinnacle, the center of Dajing, and is known as the state of the world.
Summer is coming.
Yu Yanyi came to visit Jiang Changsheng and brought someone with her, who was Zhang Ying, the helmsman of Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce.
Jiang Changsheng asked them to cross the bridge and meet Zhang Ying in the courtyard.
"I am Zhang Ying from Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce. I have admired Daozu for a long time, so I came here specially to visit him." Zhang Ying bowed and saluted respectfully.
This person's martial arts level is the Divine Heart, which is not weak. The reason why we meet him is mainly because he comes from Tianhai.
The incense value of the strongest person on this continent is only 90,000, while the strongest person in Tianhai has 190,000, which is enough to show the gap between the two places.
Yu Yanyi followed up and said, "Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce is willing to give gifts to Longqi Temple, and they also have other things to ask you. I was afraid that you would miss it, so I brought him here."
Zhang Ying had long wanted to meet the Taoist master, but had no way to do so. He once asked Jiang Xiu to help introduce him to him, but Jiang Xiu politely declined. Firstly, he was afraid of disturbing Jiang Changsheng, and secondly, he was afraid that Jiang Changsheng would be abducted.
Jiang Changsheng asked: "What's the matter?"
Zhang Ying calmed down. He was amazed when he first saw Jiang Changsheng. In addition, the Taoist ancestor was praying for rain, so he was naturally nervous when facing Jiang Changsheng.
"Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce was born in Tianhai and was established 800 years ago. Tianhai is rich in resources and martial arts are flourishing. The continent where Dajing is located suffered a legendary martial arts war thousands of years ago, and the luck and the land were severely damaged. The highest level of martial arts practiced here can only achieve the Qiankun realm. As far as I know, Tianhai can give birth to stronger warriors. I don't know if you have reached that realm, but I think you may have reached it. You are so powerful, you should not just stay in Dajing, but go to a wider martial arts land."
"The myths in this world are actually the performance of powerful warriors in ancient times. Except for the inability to live forever, no one can tell how high the realm of martial arts is. I would like to invite Daozu to become the supreme elder of Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce. Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce is willing to support Daozu. Tianhai's martial arts resources far exceed Dajing. Why don't Daozu follow me?"
Zhang Ying asked nervously. He knew that Daozu was Jing Taizong's master. Now that Jing Taizong passed away, he dared to invite him.
Jiang Changsheng shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I don't want to leave Dajing."
Zhang Ying suddenly became anxious and wanted to continue persuading her, but then he thought that he couldn't force her and he didn't have the qualifications.
He could only take the second option and said, "Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce is willing to give Longqi Temple magical weapons and medicinal seeds suitable for tempering muscles and bones and nourishing the body as a token of friendship."
Jiang Changsheng smiled and nodded, then asked Jiang Jian to take Zhang Ying down the mountain.
Yu Yanyi came to his side and said, "My father is going to send a group of disciples to join the Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce to go out and gain some experience. Since ancient times, it is not the first time that overseas chambers of commerce have come to the mainland. Other powerful dynasties have also come. The fact that the Qiyuan Chamber of Commerce has taken a fancy to Dajing is enough to prove Dajing's potential."
Jiang Changsheng said: "Of course, I have no objection."
If Dajing wants to unify the world, it cannot stand still and must accept new things.
The other side.
Jiang Jian and Zhang Ying chatted as they walked.
"Captain Zhang, is there any material that can help me add weight to this three-pointed, double-edged sword?" Jiang Jian asked with a smile.
Zhang Ying smiled and nodded, and said, "How much more do you want to add?"
Jiang Jian thought for a moment and said, "One million catties? No, that's a bit too much. Let's say 500,000 catties."
Zhang Ying's eyelids twitched wildly when he heard this, and he couldn't help asking, "What realm are you in?"
"A divine man?"
"Even if you are a god, it would be inconvenient to hold a 500,000-jin weapon in your hand, right?"
Being able to mention something and being able to use it are two different things.
Any god or man can lift a weight of 500,000 kilograms by relying on his true qi, but wanting to use it as a weapon is another concept and will affect the battle.
"It's okay. Just treat it as training. I'm not in a hurry to go down the mountain. When I reach the Golden Body Realm, I'll ask you to make a million-jin weapon."
“This… is good…”
"Hahaha, thank you, Captain Zhang!"
"May I ask how old this brother is? I see you are quite young."
"Thirty-five."
"A 35-year-old god...remarkable."
Zhang Ying was really shocked. Even in Tianhai, he had never heard of a 35-year-old god. But he didn't dare to show too much surprise.
He was very excited. Since he couldn't win over Daozu, he could win over this person.
With such aptitude, there is hope that he can reach the Qiankun realm in the future!
No, it definitely can!
…
Half a day later, Yu Yanyi left, and the white-clothed guards arrived just in time, bringing over a dozen boxes. Jiang Changsheng put them into the giant ring and then walked out of the courtyard.
The Sword God’s eyelids were twitching wildly.
What kind of method is this?
He suddenly doubted Jiang Changsheng's words. How to explain the method he used just now?
He had never heard of any martial art that could make a pile of large boxes disappear out of thin air.
Jiang Changsheng didn't care about his thoughts. Even if he asked, he would just continue to fool him.
He came to the foot of Longqi Mountain and prepared to set up the formation. The first one he set up was the Spirit Awakening Formation, which could gather the earth's spiritual energy within the formation, which was Longqi Mountain.
Afterwards, he also planned to set up a maze array and a fairy mist array to hide Longqi Mountain in the fog, making it mysterious. If anyone dared to trespass, they would get lost.
It was his first time setting up the formation, and he was a little excited.
It took him seven full days to successfully set up the formation. It would still take some time for the two formations to take effect.
Bai Long, who was already comparable to a god, seemed to sense something and looked up at Jiang Changsheng who was going up the mountain.
"Master, what have you done?"
After the breakthrough, Bailong can already speak, and his voice is quite similar to Baiqi's. It is true that birds of a feather flock together.
Jiang Changsheng said a few perfunctory words and left, leaving Bai Long staring blankly there.
Time flies.
Until the end of the year, Zhang Ying came again and brought the refining materials that Jiang Jian wanted, which made Jiang Jian very excited.
Jiang Changsheng also increased the weight of his three-pointed, double-edged sword that night, bringing it to 500,000 pounds, or even a little more.
The Sword God had no power and it was very difficult for him to swing the three-pointed, double-edged sword.
He suddenly understood why Jiang Jian didn't learn sword.
What a monster.
…
In a dark cave, with oil lamps hanging on the walls, the Holy Lord of Slaughter from the Xiansheng Cave Heaven was sitting in meditation on an altar, with visible air currents swirling around him.
Footsteps were heard, and Ming Zun came forward, followed by two warriors from Xiansheng Cave Heaven.
The Lord of Life stopped in front of the Slaughter Saint and said, "May I ask Saint, how long will it take to succeed?"
The Slaughtering Saint did not open his eyes and said, "At the earliest, it will take five years. At the latest, it will take ten years."
The Lord of Life was silent.
"The Sword God has been defeated, and his life or death is uncertain. I am going to recall all the disciples of Xiansheng Cave Heaven and allow overseas forces to enter the mainland. If Dajing keeps expanding, it will sooner or later face stronger enemies, and perhaps we won't need to take action to suppress Daozu."
The Sage Lord of Slaughter spoke again, his tone indifferent.
Ming Zun raised his head and said angrily, "What? Why do you do this? Your mission in Xiansheng Cave Heaven is to protect this land. If you let overseas forces come in, the disaster thousands of years ago will happen again. Are you crazy?"
At this moment, the two warriors behind him suddenly pressed down on his shoulders, and when he tried to shake them off, he was hit in the acupoints.
The acupoint pressing skills of the two Golden Body Realm masters were very strong. They suppressed his meridians with powerful true qi and made him unable to move.
Slaughter Saint Lord slowly opened his eyes and said, "The world has changed. When my junior brother died at the hands of Daozu, Xiansheng Cave Heaven lost its chance of winning. Daozu must have the support of a transcendent force . In order to preserve Xiansheng Cave Heaven's martial arts, I can only give up. Xiansheng Cave Heaven has protected this land for thousands of years, which is enough."
"Thank you for your help at the cost of your life, but you appear to be helping the world, but in reality you are only acting for your own benefit. We are no different, except that you are more reluctant to give up this world."
The Saint Lord of Slaughter raised his right hand and shot out a stream of energy from his finger, piercing the throat of the Lord of Life.
