The grandfather and grandson began to chat. Jiang Xiu talked about the interesting things he had heard during this period of time. Every month, foreigners would enter the capital to see him. Most of them came here to please him or to do business in Great Jing.
“I didn’t expect there to be a sect that specializes in beast taming in this world. They tamed demon beasts and used them for their own use in battle. When demon beasts join hands with humans, they can even display powerful martial arts… ”
When Jiang Xiu mentioned this, Bai Qi could not help but open her eyes.
Jiang Changsheng also found it interesting as he drank his tea and listened.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Xiu suddenly asked, “Grandmaster, who do you think is more suitable to be the Emperor, the Crown Prince or the Second Prince?”
Jiang Changsheng remained calm and said, “The crown prince is first the great-grandson and then the crown prince. Why are you hesitating?”
Jiang Xiu said helplessly, “That kid is naughty by nature. He’s already old enough, but he is not in charge of government affairs. He only knows how to play and have fun. He also… loves to be around courtesans.”
He doted on his eldest son, but there was nothing he could do about it. He tried all sorts of methods to persuade him, but he just wouldn’t listen.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Then is the Second Prince stronger than the Crown Prince?”
Even though Jiang Tianqi had higher martial arts talent, he also liked to have fun. Unlike the Crown Prince who loved women, Jiang Tianqi liked to gamble. He was addicted to all kinds of gambling. He would even gamble on chickens and crickets. The only thing that he was better at than the Crown Prince was that he had an important position and was training in the Revenue Department.
“It’s about the same. That’s why I have a headache. I’m really worried about the next generation of Great Jing.” Jiang Xiu sighed.
Jiang Changsheng did not have much feelings for his great-grandson. He could not be close to every generation.
Jiang Changsheng said, “Concentrate on your matters. If a True Dragon is born, he will naturally stand out. If there is no True Dragon, then it’s fate.”
Which dynasty in the world could have a wise ruler for generations? Jiang Changsheng could accept the occasional fatuous ruler. In any case, an emperor’s life was just an interlude in his life.
Jiang Xiu felt that it made sense. Back then, Jiang Ziyu was also worried that he would not be able to inherit the throne. Right now, he felt that he could shoulder the throne.
In the evening, Jiang Xiu left with the two princes.
Jiang Jian returned to the courtyard and shook his head. “Brother’s two sons are not good enough. Their martial arts are too weak.”
Ping An chuckled and said, “That’s right, that’s right.”
After returning to Longqi Temple, he liked to play with Jiang Jian because both of them liked to fight. Even though Jiang Jian was often beaten up, he never got tired of it.
Jiang Changsheng ignored them and focused on his cultivation.
The Sword God stared at Ping’an in deep thought.
In December, a piece of news shocked the martial arts world of Great Jing.
The auspicious beast, Baize, was severely injured by the martial arts world of many dynasties and was eventually abducted by a mysterious expert!
The news spread like wildfire. All the inns in the capital were discussing it. Even the disciples of Longqi Temple were discussing it.
Jiang Changsheng learned about it from Yu Yanyi. She said helplessly, “That expert’s movement technique was too fast. Even if two seniors at the Golden Body realm were to stop him, they would not be able to stop him.”
Jiang Jian asked, “Doesn’t that mean he will enjoy Baize’s blood alone?”
“That is nothing. Baize actually wailed before he died and alerted many demon beasts. On the way back, the Fuyue Family bumped into many demon beasts and all of them rushed in one direction. I don’t know if they were here to save Baize or if there was another reason.”
Yu Yanyi asked worriedly. She looked at Bai Qi and asked, “Did you sense anything?”
Bai Qi said in a daze, “No. I ate and slept in the courtyard all day long. I cannot tell you anything.”
The Sword God, who was sweeping the floor, frowned and said, “If the demon beasts were to gather together, it would easily cause chaos and might even lure out a thousand-year-old demon deep in the mountains. That would be troublesome. Even though the continent is dominated by humans, demon beasts cannot be underestimated. Any thousand-year-old demon would be comparable to or even stronger than an old monster in the Golden Body realm.
However, due to the existence of Xiansheng Grotto-heaven and the Chao Sects, they do not dare to appear.”
He could not help but look at Jiang Changsheng. When he saw that Jiang Changsheng’s expression was as usual, his heart calmed down.
Everyone began to discuss the chaos.
According to the Sword God’s understanding, the last demon riot happened three hundred years ago. A thousand-year-old demon led millions of demon beasts to engulf a dynasty. In a short span of half a month, the corpses were everywhere in that dynasty and they immediately collapsed. Later on, the thousand-year-old demon was killed by a member from Xiansheng Grotto-heaven. The demon beasts either died or fled. That demon riot made every dynasty vigilant against demon beasts, and many sects that hunted demon beasts began to appear in each dynasty.
Jiang Changsheng did not take it to heart. Even if the demons descended on Great Jing, it was only to give him a survival reward.
Under the blue sky, there were groups of islands with countless ships of various sizes. There were also countless types of demon beasts flying in the sky.
A merchant ship with the word ‘Wondrous Fate’ written on it docked. Branch Leader Zhang Ying jumped down from the deck. He lifted his belt and turned his head. “Xiao Gui, arrange for the disciples to send the goods back. I’m going to drink some wine.”
With that said, he did not wait for his disciple to answer and walked towards the small town by the coast.
He whistled all the way and soon entered an inn.
“Shopkeeper, the usual!”
Zhang Ying shouted and casually found a table to sit down.
After returning to Tianhai, he became his real self, without so many restrictions and rules.
The waiter came over with two jars of wine. As he poured the wine for him, he asked curiously, “Branch Leader Zhang, I haven’t seen you for almost two years. Where did you go to do business?”
Zhang Ying smiled and said, “North, the Dragon Vein Continent.”
The waiter sat down and asked with a strange expression, “The Dragon Vein Continent? It’s a place where ancient martial artists created luck. It’s very far away. Occasionally, people from the Dragon Vein Continent would come here. They have been sailing on the ocean for years. Some of them don’t even know the direction and have even been lost for dozens of years.”
“It’s indeed far, but the chamber of commerce ordered me to go, so I had no choice but to go.” Zhang Ying smiled. He was in a good mood.
At that moment, a black-robed man with half-white hair came over with a bowl and a wine jar. He sat in front of Zhang Ying and said, “I am Xiao Buku, and I came here from the Dragon Vein Continent 36 years ago. May I ask which dynasty this brother has been to?”
Xiao Buku, Meng Qiuhe’s old friend, and the son of Xiao Duotian, the head of the Mahayana Dragon Tower.
Zhang Ying glanced at him and casually said, “Great Jing Dynasty.”
Hearing this, Xiao Buku’s hand that was holding the wine bowl trembled. He tried hard to maintain his calm and asked, “What year is it now in the Great Jing?”
“The fourth year of the Rende Era.” “Emperor Ganwu is dead?” “Yes, he died of old age.”
“Is the Dao Ancestor still there?”
“Of course he is. I’ve even seen him personally.”
He believed that the people from the Dragon Vein Continent knew what kind of existence the Dao Ancestor was.
Hearing this, Xiao Buku immediately became nervous and immediately got up to leave.
Zhang Ying grabbed his wrist and asked, “Are you leaving just like that?” Xiao Buku frowned and said, “This jar of wine is for you.”
Zhang Ying sized him up and asked, “I see that you are not weak. Could it be that you have seen the Dao Ancestor before?”
Xiao Buku said helplessly, “How can that be? The Dao Ancestor is an existence in the Golden Body realm. No, he might even surpass the Golden Body realm. How can I have seen him?”
“Then you’re wrong. The Dao Ancestor is not in the Golden Body realm. He’s an existence even stronger than a Universe realm expert. Even if he comes to Tianhai, he’s one of the top experts.” Zhang Ying shook his head.
Xiao Buku felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He widened his eyes and asked, “How do you know?”
Zhang Ying shrugged his shoulders and said, “You should have heard of
Xiansheng Grotto-heaven, the overlord sect of the Dragon Vein Continent. They sent a Universe realm expert to challenge the Dao Ancestor. After he died, there was also the Sword God who had lived for four hundred years, and he was also in the Universe realm. Right now, he is sweeping the floor of Longqi Temple. With such strength, do you think the Dao Ancestor is not an existence that surpasses the Universe realm?”
Xiao Buku sat paralyzed on the stool, dumbstruck.
He felt despair.
What realm was above the Universe realm?
Son of a bitch, what realm was above the Universe realm?
Xiao Buku only felt that his life was dark. It seemed like the Mahayana Dragon Tower had no hope of rising again.
After coming to the Tianhai for so many years, he had once prospered, but he had been robbed by those evil martial artists at the ocean. Right now, he was penniless. In recent years, he had been hesitating if he should go back and take a look. Now that he had heard of the strength of the Dao Ancestor, how could he dare to go back?
Looking at his expression, Zhang Ying knew that he had a story that was very likely related to the Dao Ancestor.
Could he be the Dao Ancestor’s enemy?
Zhang Ying’s eyes flickered and he immediately came up with a plan. It was better to be safe than sorry. If that was the case, he could ask the Dao Ancestor for credit.
Xiao Buku seemed to have sensed something, so he immediately got up and
left.
Zhang Ying looked at the waiter and said in a low voice, “Send a brother to follow him. No, follow him yourself. Don’t lose him.”
The waiter chuckled. “Branch Leader Zhang, what are you worried about? I’m a True God. Do you really think I’m really a waiter after being a waiter for so long?”
With that said, he stood up and walked to the backyard.
Zhang Ying swirled the wine in his cup, his eyes drifting away. No one knew what he was thinking.
Fifth year of the Rende Era.
The 103-year-old King Qin passed away. The Emperor issued an edict to bury King Qin and announce his legendary life to the world.
When Great Jing was about to fall, King Qin stood out and brought hope to Great Jing. The world should not forget such achievements.
Jiang Yu’s corpse was sent back to the capital and buried in the imperial mausoleum.
Jiang Changsheng stood by the cliff and silently watched everything.
Jiang Yu was his biological younger brother, but they did not have a deep relationship. For dozens of years, Jiang Yu did not come to see him. Perhaps Jiang Yu also felt that the disparity in strength was too great for him to climb up the political ladder. Until his death, Jiang Yu did not know Jiang Changsheng’s real identity.
Jiang Changsheng did not want to deliberately acknowledge his family. In any case, Jiang Yu was living a good life. He had many wives and concubines, and he had all his children. He was also a vassal king that guarded a state. Both of them already had different lives, so why should they forcefully integrate?
It was all thanks to some of Jiang Changsheng’s medicinal pills that Jiang Yu could live for so long. He had asked Jiang Ziyu for help to send them. Jiang Ziyu also knew that he was his biological uncle, so he attached great importance to Jiang Yu and did not suppress him. Jiang Yu was the only one among the first generation of princes who had a good ending.
Jiang Jian came to Jiang Changsheng’s side. He already knew Jiang Changsheng’s real identity and asked, “Do you want to go down the mountain to see Great Uncle Qin?”
Jiang Changsheng said expressionlessly, “There’s no need. There’s no point in going.”
Looking at the prosperous and lively capital, Jiang Changsheng suddenly felt sad.
His grandfathers, parents, brothers, wife, and children had all passed away, leaving only his grandsons and granddaughters. How lonely was he?
“I will definitely work hard in martial arts and accompany you,” At this moment, Jiang Jian could not help but say.
Jiang Changsheng glanced at him and said with a smile, “Let’s talk after you reach the Golden Body realm. Don’t be surpassed.”
Jiang Jian asked, “Who can surpass me?”
“A little girl. She’s already in the Heaven Arrival realm at the age of eleven.”
