Chapter 528 Projecting the Past, Present, and Future
For ten years, Jiang Changsheng had not seen the master of Kunlun Valley, the son of Jiang Xun. However, when he first arrived, the fox demon clearly said that his master wanted to see him, but later said that he was in seclusion. He guessed that something happened in the middle that made the master of Kunlun Valley change his mind.
Nothing unexpected happened during these ten years, and Jiang Changsheng lived a peaceful life. He was not bullied by any older geniuses. The children here were all members of the Jiang clan, and they all shouldered the heavy responsibility of reviving the Jiang clan, so they had no time to bully their fellow clansmen.
Thanks to his real-life experience, Jiang Changsheng entered the Hunyuan Indestructible Golden Body at a faster speed. However, due to the lack of tempering from natural treasures, his Hunyuan Indestructible Golden Body was far inferior to his original body. However, compared with the immortal cultivators in the mortal world, he was already a human-shaped magic weapon with infinite strength and tremendous magic power.
One day, Jiang Changsheng, who was practicing martial arts in the house, heard the sound of the bell from Kunlun Valley.
He immediately stood up and walked out of the wooden house. The sunlight was shining down. At the age of seventeen, he had grown into the original appearance, with a handsome face and high spirits. Even though he was wearing cloth clothes, it was difficult to conceal his otherworldly demeanor.
Disciples of the Jiang clan walked out of the surrounding wooden houses and attics one after another. Before they knew it, Jiang Changsheng had become the oldest disciple.
All disciples who reached the age of sixteen were either taken away to continue their training or brought back to the human world by Jiang San and other adopted sons of Kunlun Valley. Jiang Changsheng was a special case, so he was delayed for an extra year.
Dozens of disciples came to the open space in the center of the valley, and everyone stood in a line. Jiang Changsheng stood on the far left of the first row, with an upright posture, attracting the attention of the girls. Although they were all of Jiang clan blood, Jiang Changsheng's appearance was the most handsome, even the girls could not compare to him.
After a while, the fox demon fell from the sky. As soon as she landed, another figure fell down. This person was wearing a green Taoist robe and looked like he was in his early forties. The hair on his temples was a little messy, and the long hair under the jade crown was black and white. He looked extremely vicissitudes of life.
"Let me introduce you all. This is my master, the master of Kunlun Valley. You can call him Kunlun Zhenren."
The fox demon introduced with a smile, and as he spoke, he quietly approached Master Kunlun.
Master Kunlun had a blank expression on his face as he looked at all the children present. Finally, his gaze fell on Jiang Changsheng and stayed there for a few breaths.
“You, you…”
Master Kunlun raised his whisk and began to call out names of people. The first one he called out was Jiang Changsheng.
He ordered five people in total and asked them to step aside.
Jiang Changsheng was very calm, but the other four were very excited. This meant that they had passed the test and their years of hard work had been recognized.
"Everyone else, get ready to pack up and go home."
Master Kunlun said calmly. As soon as these words came out, the remaining dozens of boys and girls were all in an uproar and asked why. After all, most of them were not yet sixteen years old, and there were even two children who had only been there for less than half a year.
The fox demon also looked at Master Kunlun in surprise.
Kunlun Zhenren said: "The plan has changed. The Jiang Clan's existence has started to act again. Even the Jiang Clan's Immortal Emperor was seriously injured. Next, I will erase your memories and seal your bloodline. From now on, you will be mortals."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Jiang Changsheng was curious, who had severely injured Jiang Xun?
Master Kunlun stepped forward and began to erase the memories one by one. The young men and women who were under his spell fell into unconsciousness one after another.
Not long after, Master Kunlun turned and left.
"Five of you follow me."
Jiang Changsheng and the other four immediately followed. They walked into the depths of the valley, which was a restricted area and the fox demon had not allowed them to go there before.
After passing through the winding mountain path, they came to a teleportation array. The stone array was dilapidated and there were fallen leaves piled around it. It was obvious that no one had cleaned it for a long time.
Master Kunlun said nothing, but waved his hand to signal Jiang Changsheng and the other four to follow him into the formation.
He waved his whisk to cast a spell, spiritual power fell, the stone formation activated, a rainbow of light rose up and rushed straight into the sky. Jiang Changsheng and the other four only felt their bodies lose weight, their eyes were dazzled and they could not see anything.
About ten breaths later, they finally felt that everything had returned to normal. Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and saw a magnificent world. The sky was high and the clouds were beautiful, cranes were flying in rows, and the continuous mountains undulated like the back of a dragon. They were standing on the top of a mountain range, and the slightest movement of the wind made him feel relaxed and happy.
"Wow……"
A burly young man next to him, as strong as a bear, couldn't help but lie on the ground and vomit. The other three were not much better. Only Jiang Changsheng and Kunlun Zhenren were not affected.
Kunlun Zhenren glanced at him and said, "Have you mastered the Golden Body Technique?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other four turned their heads and looked at Jiang Changsheng with surprise. The oldest of them was only fifteen years old, and the youngest was twelve. They felt that they were geniuses for being able to practice the Golden Elixir Technique in advance, but they did not expect that someone had practiced the more difficult Golden Body Technique. No wonder this person could stay in Kunlun Valley for another year.
The Golden Body Technique is the most difficult to practice among the three techniques. They were all practicing the Golden Elixir Technique, but no one expected that someone could actually practice the Golden Body Technique.
"I guess so." Jiang Changsheng replied.
What he practiced was not the Golden Body Technique, but the Hunyuan Immortal Golden Body!
Kunlun Zhenren followed and said: "This is the clan land of the Jiang clan, and it is the inner world of the Immortal Emperor Jiang Xun. Here, you don't have to worry about your safety and can practice with all your heart. Let's go, I will take you to your residence."
He raised his hand and a gourd flew out from his sleeve and quickly grew larger. Then he waved his whisk and led Jiang Changsheng and the other four men onto the gourd, causing the other four boys and girls to shout and scream.
The gourd flew quickly across the mountains. Jiang Changsheng saw many people meditating and practicing in various places in the mountains, and some were practicing magic. They seemed to have come to the land of immortals, which made the four descendants of the Jiang family very excited, but Jiang Changsheng felt lonely.
The cultivation base of the Jiang clan members here is not very high, and their numbers are not as many as the royal relatives of the Jiang clan in Tianjing.
"Master, are we the only ones left in the Jiang clan? Are there any other branches of the Jiang clan outside?" Jiang Changsheng asked, interrupting the excitement of the other four.
Kunlun Zhenren showed a complicated expression, and sighed, "Since you are already here, I will tell you a more cruel truth. A long time ago, the Jiang clan ruled the heavens and the worlds alone. All the immortals bowed to them, and all the clans respected them. In their heyday, the Jiang clan had only themselves as their rivals. Just like our Jiang Xunxian Emperor, he was hunted down by the Jiang clan. Perhaps it was because the Jiang clan was too powerful that it aroused the jealousy of the heavens. Later, a demon appeared. He devoured many powerful members of the Jiang clan and gained unprecedented fortune. After that, he turned into a demon clan and hunted down the Jiang clan. Of the Jiang clan that spread across the heavens and the worlds, only our lineage is left. Now, the demon clan is still hunting us down."
A young girl couldn't help but ask, "The Jiang Clan has suffered so much, why are the Sky Demon Clan still hunting us down? Are they afraid that we will take revenge?"
Kunlun shook his head and said, "This is just one of the reasons. They are afraid of the power behind the Jiang Clan."
"The power behind it?"
Everyone was confused.
Master Kunlun controlled the gourd to fly, gazing into the distance with a look of melancholy in his eyes.
"Legend has it that the ancestor of the Jiang clan was the head of all immortals and the founder of the Tao Ancestor who created the immortal path. The Tao Ancestor was above everything and had thousands of Dharma bodies that reflected the past, present, and future. No one could trace his whereabouts, not only the Tao Ancestor, but also the Heavenly Court. Another ancestor of the Jiang clan was the head of the Heavenly Court, honored as the Emperor of Heaven. The Heavenly Court ascended to heaven a long time ago and cut off contact with the Jiang clan. The Heavenly Demon Clan was afraid that the Heavenly Court and the Tao Ancestor would know about this, so they wanted to kill them all."
Jiang Changsheng frowned. He was attracted by a word from Master Kunlun.
Thousands of Dharma bodies, projecting the past, present and future?
He seemed to have grasped something in the dark, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't figure it out.
He felt that he had grasped the mystery of his predicament in time and space.
The other four were immersed in the powerful history of the Jiang clan. For mortals like them, they didn't even know how big this world was. They didn't know how vast the heavens and myriad worlds were, and how powerful the illusory Taoist was. But after listening to the words of Master Kunlun, a flame still ignited in their hearts.
Their family is so powerful, how can it be destroyed in their generation!
Along the way, Master Kunlun told the story of how powerful the Jiang Clan was in the past. With the Emperor's bloodline as its main branch and countless branches as its auxiliary branch, it spanned the entire world and was almost the absolute overlord. However, even such a powerful Jiang Clan still fell.
However, they did not despair, because according to the real person, the demon absorbed the flesh and blood of the strong men in the imperial vein, which gave him the terrifying power to suppress everything. Even so, their ancestor Jiang Xun Immortal Emperor could compete with it.
Over the long years, Immortal Emperor Jiang Xun fought with the demon countless times, losing more than he won. It seemed embarrassing, but it also became a thorn in the demon's heart that could not be removed at all.
Half an hour later, Jiang Changsheng was arranged to live in a courtyard. The conditions here were much better than those in Kunlun Valley.
He did not waste any time and quickly began to meditate and practice.
According to Master Kunlun, few people can master the Golden Body Technique that he practices. Later on, the Jiang Clan will provide him with a steady supply of body-tempering treasures, so he can practice with peace of mind.
Nightfall.
Master Kunlun walked into a hall. He came to the steps and looked up at a figure sitting on a lotus throne.
"Father, the bloodline I taught has returned. There are five of them in total, and one of them has even mastered the Golden Body Technique."
Master Kunlun spoke, his brows furrowed, his face full of concern and worry.
"Oh? What's his name? I'd like to write it down."
An old and weak voice sounded, coming from Kunlun Zhenren's father, Emperor Jiang Xun.
Looking up from below, although his true face could not be seen clearly, his body was hunched over, like a candle in the wind.
"His name is Jiang Qian. He is only seventeen years old this year, and he has a very good character. No one among this group of disciples can compare to him." Kunlun Zhenren replied.
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Xun trembled all over and started coughing violently.
Kunlun Zhenren asked quickly, "Father, are you okay? Do you need me to call my elder brother and the others to come and heal you?"
"No need. They were also seriously injured in the previous battle with the demon. There is no need to trouble them. I just thought of an old friend and got a little excited." Jiang Xun steadied himself and answered in a trembling voice.
Kunlun frowned and said, "Is that the mysterious tribesman who taught you magical powers that you mentioned before? It was because of this name that I observed him more and found that he is indeed more mature than his peers and has been extraordinary since he was a child. But he is a child after all, and we just have the same name."
