As he listened to Lin Haotian’s thoughts, Jiang Changsheng suddenly realized that even if the other party had never seen him before, they could still believe in him.
They did not have to see his face, nor did they have to see his strength. It was fine as long as the other party respected him.
He was an incomparably mysterious figure in Lin Haotian’s heart, and no one could replace him.
Jiang Changsheng did not immediately visit Lin Haotian in his dreams. This kid still wanted to defeat Mu Lingluo, so he decided to leave him alone for the time being. When Mu Lingluo broke through, he could give him some pointers if he continued to burn incense for Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng began to pay attention to the other believers.
The range of perception for the believers was so wide that he had been immersed in it for half a day and had yet to finish observing.
He disappeared under the tree and appeared in his room. Then, he created a clone and asked it to leave.
There was a small area where the worshippers suffered from a drought, and the area belonged to the periphery of Great Jing. Jiang Changsheng decided to send his avatar to the Divine Power of Summoning Wind and Rain to appease his worshippers.
Two days later, the clone dissipated on the spot and the growth of Jiang Changsheng’s incense points increased.
In less than half a month, the news of the Dao Ancestor praying for rain for the citizens of a state spread, attracting praise from everyone.
It was not an exaggeration to call him a saint for possessing absolute strength but not seeking power. At the very least, there was no other person on the continent who would do such a thing.
Most importantly, other than the Dao Ancestor, no other martial artist would pray for rain for them.
In the imperial study.
When Emperor Shuntian learned of this, he sighed and said, “Great Jing is really fortunate to have the Dao Ancestor. He does not seek the luck of Great Jing, nor does he seek resources. He is selfless. I really wish to erect a statue for him and confer him the title of a saint.
If it were someone else, he would definitely think that they were up to no good. However, he knew that the Jiang Family’s imperial family was the descendant of the Dao Ancestor. The Dao Ancestor was doing this for them.
However, he could not reveal this secret.
The Head of Punishment stood by his side and said, “If the Dao Ancestor covets luck, the development of the martial arts world would have slowed down greatly. Perhaps he has such considerations.”
Emperor Shuntian felt that it made sense. With the Dao Ancestor’s terrifying strength, the martial arts resources and luck he needed must be huge. If he were to ask, he would definitely compress the space for the development of Great Jing’s martial arts world and only report it to Great Jing when he broke through. However, how many years would it take for him to break through? Emperor Shuntian asked, “How’s the construction of the teleportation array?” The Head of Punishment answered, “It is estimated that we will be able to attempt teleportation for the first time at the end of the year. Once we succeed, we will be able to build it on a large scale.”
Emperor Shuntian nodded.
The extraterrestrial meteorite had yet to be mined, and most of it was still placed outside the city. Right now, it was about to become the iconic scenery of Great Jing’s capital.
“This plan cannot be sloppy. You have to keep an eye on it, and you cannot fully trust the Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce.” Emperor Shuntian instructed.
The teleportation array was related to Great Jing’s strategy, so even if the Amazing Fate Chamber of Commerce helped build it, they could not inquire about its specific location.
“I understand,” the Head of Punishment answered. Emperor Shuntian began to review the memorials.
At that very moment.
He suddenly felt something and looked up.
The Head of Punishment asked, “Your Majesty, what’s wrong?”
Emperor Shuntian narrowed his eyes and said, “There are warriors who have surpassed the Golden Body realm fighting in Si Province.”
When the Head of Punishment heard that, he immediately disappeared.
Emperor Shuntian put down the memorial and fell into deep thought. “The True Dragon Temple… Let’s put it aside for the time being.”
Emperor Shuntian picked up the memorial again and focused on reading it.
Si Province, True Dragon Temple.
Among the mountains, two figures were fighting. One of them was Divine Monk Jia Ye. He held prayer beads in his left hand and his right palm was exchanging blows with a mysterious man wearing a mask.
Both of them were in the Universe realm, and their true qi was vast and mighty. Every time they exchanged blows, the mountains would tremble.
In the distance, hundreds of disciples were watching in front of the gates of the True Dragon Temple, and there was an endless stream of disciples rushing over.
“Move aside!”
A young monk pushed through the crowd and walked out quickly. He did not have a handsome appearance, but there was an arrogance between his brows that made him look cold and arrogant. He was the number one genius of the True Dragon Temple, Zhou Jue.
Zhou Jue looked up, but his eyes could not keep up with the movements of the divine monk and the masked man.
They were too fast!
The masked man leaped up and kicked the divine monk. Powerful flames surrounded him as he cut through the air above the mountains and kicked the divine monk with great force.
The divine monk was sent flying. Fortunately, he quickly stabilized his body. He looked down at his right palm. It was scalded red and still steaming. His half-revealed face showed a solemn expression.
The masked man looked down at Divine Monk Jia Ye from high above and said, “Hand over that thing and I will spare your life and will not hurt your disciple.”
Divine Monk Jia Ye said expressionlessly, “Amitabha. The thing you want is no longer in my hands.”
The masked man narrowed his eyes and coldly asked, “Where is it then?”
The masked man’s pupils constricted when he heard Divine Monk Jia Ye’s words. He immediately flew into a rage and said, “For this item, the entire Tianye Temple was destroyed. How could you give it to someone else so easily?”
The divine monk shook his head and said, “That is not something I can subdue, nor is it something you can control.”
“Courting death!”
The masked man shouted angrily and kicked Divine Monk Jia Ye again. In an instant, an image of heaven and earth condensed on the surface of his body and drilled into his body, shrouding him with a strong burst of light and increasing his speed.
Divine Monk Jia Ye clapped his hands, and the surging true qi transformed into a golden bell that enveloped his entire body. It was a hundred feet tall and was a spectacular sight.
Bang!
The golden bell was shattered, and the masked man kicked the divine monk in the chest. The sound of bones breaking could be heard. The divine monk smashed into the mountain wall, causing dust to fly and the entire mountain to tremble.
The masked man also pulled out the machete on his waist, ready to end Divine Monk Jia Ye.
“That’s enough.”
An indifferent voice resounded throughout the land, startling the masked man into stopping.
At the same time, dozens of miles away, Cheng Yan and the two warriors stayed in the forest and watched the battle from afar. They also heard the voice and their hearts skipped a beat.
The Dao Ancestor!
Even though they were not sure, it would be troublesome if it was really the Dao Ancestor!
Cheng Yan immediately whistled with a crisp sound. The masked man, who was dozens of miles away, immediately turned around and left. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the horizon.
Cheng Yan and the other two followed suit.
When the disciples of the True Dragon Temple saw this, they hastily ran towards the mountain where Divine Monk Jia Ye was. For someone in the Universe realm, it was only a few breaths of time, but for them, they would have already ran a great distance away.
On the other side.
In the courtyard.
Jiang Changsheng’s eyes were closed, but his spiritual will was staring at the True Dragon Temple.
The moment he spoke, the other party ran away. How tactful.
He did not chase after them. If the other party attracted more help, that would be a good thing. If the other party let it go, then he would forget about it. After all, the other party was not here for him.
The Sword God on the eaves also sensed the fluctuation of that battle. He glanced at Jiang Changsheng and noticed that the Dao Ancestor had no reaction, so he simply stopped paying attention.
Even if the sky collapsed, the Dao Ancestor would support it. For the time being, the Sword God had yet to establish a sense of belonging to Great Jing.
Jiang Changsheng watched for a while. When he saw that the other party had quickly escaped from the Si Province, he no longer cared.
It seemed like the whereabouts of the Demon Gathering Pearl had already spread throughout the ocean. There would definitely be more experts attacking in the future.
At the thought of the Demon Gathering Pearl, Jiang Changsheng suddenly had an idea.
Should he use the Demon Gathering Pearl to attract a large number of demon beasts in the future and throw them into the Dao World to form a world of its own?
If he did that, he did not have to worry about the matter of him needing incense being exposed if he wanted them to worship him.
However, demon beasts could not burn incense, so it was better to accept people.
Jiang Changsheng was just casually thinking about it. At this moment, the Dao World was not big enough to become a world that carried living beings.
He continued to cultivate and stopped thinking about it.
The True Dragon Temple was attacked by a mysterious expert and Divine Monk Jia Ye was severely injured!
This news quickly shocked the martial arts world of Great Jing!
Divine Monk Jia Ye was in the Universe realm and was definitely considered the third strongest expert in Great Jing. Yet, he was severely injured by a mysterious expert!
For a moment, everyone in the martial arts world was in a state of panic.
The Emperor only sent imperial physicians to treat Divine Monk Jia Ye. He did not send anyone to specially investigate, so time just passed by.
10th year of the Shuntian Era, March.
The first teleportation array of Great Jing was successfully built. On the first attempt, it easily crossed 80,000 miles!
Even though the Emperor did not announce it to the public, the news still spread among the people and the martial arts world.
The appearance of the teleportation array surprised all the martial artists in the martial arts world. On the other hand, the spies sent into Great Jing by various dynasties were frightened and sent back the news one after another.
On this day.
Emperor Shuntian was currently cultivating in the imperial study. Unlike
Renzhong who did everything himself, he liked to hand over most of the administrative affairs to the officials of the three provinces. As long as he was done setting the tone for important matters, he would take time to cultivate every day.
Other than unifying the continent, he also had another goal, which was to become the emperor with the highest martial arts realm!
A White-robed Guard quickly entered the room and delivered a secret letter.
Emperor Shuntian opened it and his expression immediately darkened. He said in a deep voice, “Use the Ten Thousand Mile Condor and transmit…
“Forget it! ”
Emperor Shuntian stood up and quickly walked out of the imperial study.
Soon, he arrived at the courtyard of Longqi Mountain. He did not bring anyone with him because he had flown here directly.
He rushed to Jiang Changsheng and whispered, “Dao Ancestor, something bad has happened. Great Jing is in danger!”
Bai Qi and the Sword God were attracted by his words and looked at him curiously.
Jiang Changsheng did not open his eyes and casually asked, “Don’t panic. Tell me about it.”
“Zhang Ying sent a message from the ocean saying that someone is spreading rumors that the Demon Gathering Pearl has been obtained by the two of us. At this rate, Great Jing will certainly attract the attention of a large number of overseas forces and there might even be an invasion of martial artists from the ocean.”
Emperor Shuntian said in a deep voice as he carefully observed Jiang Changsheng’s expression.
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and said, “How is this a rumor?”
Emperor Shuntian was stunned.
Jiang Changsheng raised his hand and the Demon Gathering Pearl appeared in his palm. In an instant, Bai Qi became excited and quickly ran over. However, no matter how he pounced, he could not touch Jiang Changsheng’s hand.
Emperor Shuntian looked at the Demon Gathering Pearl in a daze.
He had already guessed this. Otherwise, why would the Dao Ancestor recommend Divine Monk Jia Ye to enter Great Jing?
However, he did not expect Jiang Changsheng to be so generous.
Jiang Changsheng put the Demon Gathering Pearl into his Giant Spirit Ring and said, “You saw it, right? This item is too evil. If I don’t suppress it, there will definitely be endless trouble in the future. If others are to obtain it and attack with countless demon beasts, they will definitely flatten Great Jing.”
Emperor Shuntian was frightened by Bai Qi’s state and was secretly shocked.
After all, Bai Qi was a real True God..
