Chapter 57: Thousand Years of Heritage, the Emperor's Heart
After hearing what Eunuch Li said, Jiang Changsheng didn't care and thought it was normal.
He killed the gods easily, how dare Mahayana Longlou come here rashly?
As for creating more gods like the monk Juexin, Jiang Changsheng is not afraid.
The gods are not good enough!
When he killed the monk Juexin that day, he actually used the sword-controlling technique, and he just used it to spread the reputation of Taiqing swordsmanship.
Let alone being a god, even creating the Golden Body realm is not enough!
Jiang Changsheng said: "I understand."
Eunuch Li followed up, "The martial arts world has been very exciting recently. The Burning Heaven Pavilion wanted to unify the martial arts world, but it ran into a wall at Wufeng. A master was born at Wufeng, who, relying on his magical skills and natural advantages, single-handedly took on the entire Burning Heaven Pavilion."
He began to talk about the affairs of the martial arts world, and Jiang Changsheng listened with great interest.
Ever since the founding of the Jingwu Patriarch Jiang Yuan, the martial arts of the Thirteen States have been reviving and have been getting stronger. When the Divine Monk Juexin opened the realm of the Divine Man with his death, the top masters are no longer in the Tongtian realm. The pursuit of the Divine Man has become the fanatical goal of the entire martial arts world. There are even comments at the moment:
Only when you become a god can you be the supreme master in the martial arts world!
There is only one god in Dajing Wulin now, and that is the Immortal Master Changsheng from the capital.
In the eyes of most martial artists, it would take more than three to five years, or even longer, to give birth to a second one.
Jiang Changsheng glanced at Eunuch Li. This old eunuch was already in his seventies or eighties, but he was still able to work so hard and collect intelligence for him. It was not easy.
According to Eunuch Li, he was practicing the Virgin Kung Fu. As long as his Yang Yuan was not lost, he would be able to maintain an energetic state until the end of his life.
Jiang Changsheng took out a bottle of pills from his arms, put it on the table, and said, "Take it back and take one pill a month."
Eunuch Li asked curiously, "Excuse me, Master, what is this for?"
"It can increase your lifespan."
Nourishing the body, nourishing the spirit and mind can indeed help prolong life.
When Eunuch Li heard this, he was immediately surprised and quickly accepted it, then kowtowed to thank Jiang Changsheng. Jiang Yuan had relied on Jiang Changsheng's medicine to survive for several years, and Eunuch Li had witnessed it with his own eyes, so he naturally believed in Jiang Changsheng's alchemy skills.
Jiang Changsheng was not stingy with such elixirs to people he was familiar with, but he knew that the elixirs could only prolong life.
Separation from life and death is something we will have to face sooner or later.
Perhaps this is the greatest trouble of immortality.
However, he felt that this was also a process of self-cultivation. Life should have both joy and melancholy.
…
The sky is blue and cloudless.
There was a pile of broken walls and corpses all over the endless wasteland. Warriors wearing purple robes with dragon patterns were absorbing the true energy of the dying people. These warriors all looked old, and there were more than thirty of them.
In a ruined palace, a man in red clothes, with his hands behind his waist, looked up at the huge Buddha statue in front of him.
Nanyun Buddha quickly walked into the hall, half-knelt behind the man in red, clasped his fists and said, "Master, the Jianqi Sect has been completely destroyed. When the elders have absorbed all the true energy, the Jianqi Sect will no longer exist."
The man in red is the owner of the Mahayana Dragon Tower, named Xiao Daotian. His red clothes are as red as blood, with golden dragon patterns printed on them. His white hair is tied up under a golden crown, and on top of the golden crown there are two dragons playing with a pearl, showing his domineering aura.
Xiao Daotian turned around. His face looked haggard, and he seemed to be in his forties or fifties. His features were handsome, but his eyes were indifferent and lifeless.
He looked down at the Buddha of Difficult Luck and asked, "How is Dajing?"
Nan Yun Buddha said in a deep voice: "Master Changsheng is still living in the capital, and the emperor wants to start a prosperous era of martial arts. Now..."
"Um?"
"When the surrounding dynasties heard about Dajing's treatment of warriors, warriors from all dynasties rushed to Dajing. This was indeed a sign of great prosperity. The emperor even issued a secret order, asking the White Guards and Tianwu Supervisor to assassinate Chu officials in various places in secret..."
When Nan Yunfo said this, his face looked very ugly. He had to admit that the King of Wei was cruel enough.
Xiao Daotian said: "This is what an emperor should do. If Dacheng Longlou wins, and this Dajing Emperor is willing to submit, I can give him a chance."
Nanyun Buddha seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
Xiao Daotian walked out of the hall, and Nan Yunfo hurriedly followed him. When they arrived outside the gate, they looked around and saw that the Jianqi Gate had turned into ruins and was desolate. This was the scene after the war.
Nanyun Buddha felt very sad when he saw this scene. The once high and mighty Mahayana Dragon Tower had fallen into such a state just because of one person.
The Immortal Master!
Although Nanyun Buddha was eager for revenge, he still had some rationality.
He couldn't help but ask: "Master, all the factions are eyeing us covetously. If we lose this battle, then..."
Mahayana Dragon Tower cannot afford to fail!
Xiao Daotian's eyes were calm, and he said, "I know, but if there is no war, without the Thirteen States, the Mahayana Dragon Tower will also be eroded by the various sects. Perhaps this is the cycle of fate. The Mahayana Dragon Tower has dominated the luck and resources of the Thirteen States and has become the foundation of the thousand-year-old sect. It is time to repay its debt."
"We must fight this battle. If we win, we can change the martial arts plan of the Mahayana Dragon Tower. If we lose, we can help Da Jing. The Dragon Tower will not perish, it will just disappear temporarily. How can one person uproot a thousand years of foundation?"
It is difficult for the Buddha to remain silent.
An old man in a purple robe came over and clasped his fists and said, "Master, if you can absorb one more sect, we can all enter the realm of gods and men."
Xiao Daotian said: "Then go to Dajing and find a sect in Dajing. It is also a good opportunity to declare war on the emperor of Dajing, let the martial arts of Dajing see the real martial arts and open up their martial arts wisdom!"
"Yes, sir!"
The purple-robed old man responded, then turned around and went to convey the order.
Xiao Daotian looked in the direction of Dajing and murmured, "You killed a god with one sword. I want to see if you have reached the legendary golden body realm."
Golden Body Realm?
The Buddha is so frightened by the difficulty. Is there a higher realm above the gods and men?
…
In the imperial study.
Jiang Ziyu lay back on the dragon chair, flipping through the memorials in his hands, looking quite lazy.
Chen Li walked in, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Revenue asked me to make a suggestion. Although Your Majesty cares about the people, the policies you have issued are too kind, especially to merchants. If this continues, the people will be rich and the merchants will have money, but the treasury will be short of money, which will be detrimental to Your Majesty's future plans."
Jiang Ziyu said nonchalantly: "What is my big plan?"
Chen Li was stunned and suddenly didn't know what to say. Although he was a straightforward person, he was over sixty years old after all and knew that some things could not be said in person.
Jiang Ziyu put down the memorial, took up a pen to write some comments on it, then picked up another memorial and continued reading it.
"Prime Minister Chen, tell the people below to stop asking about my thoughts. You should also learn to distinguish. I am the ruler of a country. If everyone can predict what I am thinking, wouldn't such a grand scene be full of holes? You are different from them. You are a good friend of my master and have done great things for me. I must trust you, but you should not be used as a knife."
"Why didn't the Minister of Revenue speak to me directly? Why did he have to ask you to pass on the message?"
Jiang Ziyu glanced and said, this glance made Chen Li a little dazed, he seemed to see Jingwu Zu Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Ziyu said meaningfully: "The identity of Chu people is the biggest stain on the Chen family. Be careful of being plotted against."
Chen Li broke out in a cold sweat.
Jiang Ziyu closed the memorial and said with a smile, "Forget it. Considering our relationship, I wo n't hide it you. Don't tell anyone. If a third person knows, I will chop off your head. I am not doing this out of mercy. I know that the treasury is in short supply, but the Jing Dynasty has just experienced 20 years of war and there is a lot to be done. If I increase taxes on the people, it will definitely have a bad impact. I still need the people to be of one mind with me, so I am also tolerant of merchants."
"Merchants are flexible and close to the people. When they become rich, they will inevitably be alienated from the people. The people will inevitably be jealous of them. When the time comes, I will find a reason to deal with them. When the national treasury is rich, the people will be more inclined to me. Isn't that better?"
Chen Li looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect that Jiang Ziyu, at such a young age, would have such thoughts.
Jiang Ziyu smiled and said, "My target is not just Dajing. Prime Minister Chen, please watch carefully and keep an eye on the Chen family. Let them stop trying to win over the Chu people. Recently, the Chen family has become a little arrogant."
Chen Li quickly bent down and said, "I will remember this!"
He understood that Jiang Ziyu was criticizing him.
After Chen Li left, Yang Che also came. Facing the queen's grandfather, Jiang Ziyu was not polite and told Yang Che the intention of his decision. Then he warned him that although the Yang family did not win over the Chu people, they held the military power too tightly.
After Yang Che left, a young eunuch came in and brought him some snacks.
Jiang Ziyu asked, "How does Immortal Changsheng feel about the tastes in the palace?"
The young eunuch replied, "He has been eating less recently, and he even shares some of his food with... with the wolf he raises."
Jiang Ziyu said, "Then change a chef. Send the order to have the chef in charge of desserts go back to his own palace and let the queen help choose a new one."
The young eunuch took the order and quickly retreated.
Jiang Ziyu stood up, walked to the window sill, looked at the blue sky, his brows furrowed, and there was still worry in his eyes.
He was not afraid of the thoughts of the civil and military officials, but he would always feel uneasy as long as the Mahayana Dragon Tower was not destroyed.
…
October.
The Cangsu Sect, which ranked among the top ten in the Dajing martial arts world, was massacred. All of its more than 2,000 disciples had their skills drained away and died miserably. The case shocked the entire martial arts world and the news reached the capital. The White Guards were ordered by the emperor to go and investigate in person.
"The Mahayana Dragon Tower is coming!"
Eunuch Li said with a serious expression that he was frightened by Mahayana Dragon Tower's move this time.
Jiang Changsheng said calmly: "Come if you want."
Liu Wuyin, who was meditating and practicing martial arts nearby, couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is the Mahayana Dragon Tower?"
Ling Xiao also opened his eyes. Although he had already entered the spiritual consciousness realm, he still came to this courtyard to practice on weekdays.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, "A sect is trying to change the world."
He looked at Eunuch Li and said, "You go down first."
Eunuch Li nodded, turned and left.
Bai Qi walked up to Jiang Changsheng and whispered, "Master, the Mahayana Dragon Tower should not be underestimated. I have also heard of their unique skill of absorbing people's power, which is the Zhoutian Divine Art. It is said that this unique skill was learned from the legendary Xiansheng Cave Heaven."
The holy cave?
Jiang Changsheng didn't expect Bai Qi to know about this force, so he couldn't help but ask: "How much do you know about Xiansheng Cave Heaven?"
Liu Wuyin and Ling Xiao also listened attentively, very curious.
Bai Qi lay on the ground, helplessly saying: "How can I know? I just heard that Xiansheng Cave Heaven is the martial arts holy land of your human race, and even the ten great clans dare not provoke it."
Jiang Changsheng said unhappily: "Then get out of here, stop talking nonsense."
Bai Qi stared at the snacks on the table and asked, "Can I..."
Jiang Changsheng picked up a piece of cake and threw it towards the Earth Spirit Tree. Bai Qi leaped up, caught it in mid-air, then lay down and licked it, reluctant to finish it in one bite.
"It's really delicious. I have to find time to sneak into the palace to steal some, otherwise there won't be enough..."
Bai Qi thought silently that he was very satisfied with his current life. With the help of the Earth Spirit Tree, his demonic power was growing continuously. Jiang Changsheng also kept him safe. Occasionally, he would get such delicious food that he didn't want to leave.
Of course, Jiang Changsheng did not raise it in vain. Occasionally, when martial artists came to cause trouble, it would secretly take action. After all, it was also a monster comparable to the state of mind of a god. If it were a martial artist, it would be a master-level figure!
Jiang Changsheng adjusted his own incense value.
[Current Incense Value: 11702]
He hesitated whether to calculate the current strength of the Mahayana Dragon Tower. After all, times have changed and the Mahayana Dragon Tower is also getting stronger.
Try it!
"Can I easily suppress the entire Mahayana Dragon Tower?"
[Need to consume 2000 incense points, do you want to continue?]
Um?
Doubled.
But it’s not too strong.
Jiang Changsheng simply chose no, there was no need to calculate further.
If the incense value exceeds five thousand, he can still handle it steadily.
Mahayana Dragon Tower is getting stronger, and he has not been idle either. His spiritual power alone has increased by more than double!
