Listening to Mu Lingluo and Bai Qi’s consecutive explanations, Jiang
Changsheng finally understood the reason, but he did not really care.
Seeing that he was unmoved, Mu Lingluo asked, “Are you sure you don’t have to care? What if Ziyu and he…”
Jiang Xiu was her biological grandson, and she regarded him as her own. Naturally, she did not wish for the father and son to fall out or even turn against each other.
Jiang Changsheng shook his head and said, “You have to learn to correct your mentality. Our descendants have their own blessings. If Jiang Xiu really commits atrocities, the Heavenly Court will punish him. Ziyu is only persuading him, which means that he thinks there’s no real problem. Of course, if you want to interfere, that’s okay, but I won’t interfere.”
He founded the Heavenly Court so that his responsibilities would be lighter. Unless Jiang Xiu did something that even he disliked, he could do as he pleased.
Mu Lingluo said helplessly, “Naturally, I don’t want to interfere. I’m just worried about their father-son relationship…”
In the Mu Family, conflicts would arise between father and son, and even husband and wife. Because of these conflicts, relationships would get estranged, or they might even become enemies for the sake of benefits.
Human nature was the most unpredictable. Nowadays, conflicts had also begun to appear in the Jiang Family, all for the sake of power and profit. “They chose their relationship to be like this. They are not children.”
Jiang Changsheng shrugged his shoulders. Even though Mu Lingluo could not bear to see them like this, she also felt that it was right. If it were her, she also did not wish to be controlled by her elders.
Bai Qi sighed. “That’s true. There’s only one throne for the Celestial Emperor, and it’s not good to help anyone. Why don’t we let Jiang Xiu display his skills and become the Human Emperor?”
Mu Lingluo nodded and no longer dwelled on this matter.
After that, Jiang Changsheng started to care about her training. Even though Mu Lingluo often went out, she did not go out just to sightsee. Instead, she took risks and fought. Therefore, her strength had been increasing steadily.
Right now, in Jiang Changsheng’s opinion, the realms below Heavenly Origin Extreme Martial Realm were no different from ordinary people. Therefore, he hoped that Mu Lingluo would become stronger and began to guide her through her confusion in her training.
Bai Qi did not disturb them. She walked to the side and also began to train.
Heavenly Jing, Jingcheng, in the imperial study of the palace.
Jiang Xiu was currently meeting with one of the Four Great Celestial Masters, Qi Yuan.
Even after ascending for hundreds of years, Qi Yuan’s reputation in the human world was still very great. Saint Qi had established the Dao of Martial Luck and left his name in history. In the face of Saint Qi, Jiang Xiu was very polite.
“Many of the vassal kings His Majesty has dealt with are related to the Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court. This matter has been done too hastily and has attracted a lot of dissatisfaction. Even His Majesty, the Celestial Emperor, has no choice but to give them an explanation. However, the relationship between Heavenly Jing and the Heavenly Court is special and the harmony between both sides is very important. I hope Your Majesty will not be too hasty and pardon those demoted imperial relatives.”
Qi Yuan whispered. His tone was of helplessness. It was indeed troublesome to get involved in this matter, but he had no choice but to come.
Jiang Xiu calmly said, “It has been a thousand years since Jing Tianzong reigned. And almost every 20 years, there will be a vassal king. The vassal kings will also confer land to their children. Saint Qi, do you know how many vassal kings there are in Heavenly Jing?
Qi Yuan was silent.
“After my bold and decisive actions, there are still more than 300 vassal kings, and these vassal kings have more than 10,000 descendants. Many people rely on their age and contributions to benefit their children. Even though the world is under the Jiang Family’s reign, we can’t go too far, right? How can the people survive? If I let the Jiang Family swallow 70% of the annual taxes, how am I supposed to govern the land? How can I let the people live and work in peace?
Just because they hold high positions, I can’t touch them, is that right?”
Jiang Xiu snorted. He stared at Qi Yuan and said, “If I take my time, how long will I have to wait? I am not afraid. I can live for a thousand years or ten thousand years, but what about the people? How many years will they have to wait?”
Qi Yuan sighed and said, “I naturally understand His Majesty’s difficulties, but your methods are not gentle enough. Those demoted vassal kings and the ancestors of the slain vassal kings can all complain to the legitimate gods of the Heavenly Court. How can His Majesty the Celestial Emperor appease their anger?”
The Jiang Family had been involved in both apotheosis, which was why Jiang Ziyu had a headache. They were all family, and they had fallen out so badly. He had no reason to suppress those dissatisfied immortals from the Jiang Family.
Qi Yuan continued, “This might even cause a calamity in the heavens and the Lower Realm. Even if you and His Majesty, the Celestial Emperor, do not wish for this to happen, once the matter blows up and someone adds fuel to the fire, the situation will exceed our imagination and control.”
Jiang Xiu frowned. These words were threatening, but he knew Qi Yuan. Qi Yuan had always advocated an anti-war rule. This was probably the reason why Qi Yuan had personally come.
He felt that he was not being an alarmist. Only by standing in a high position would one understand what it meant to have no control. Some things could not be decided by one’s words.
With Heavenly Jing’s strength, it would definitely be a one-sided massacre if they were to fight against the Heavenly Court.
Jiang Xiu suddenly felt powerless.
Qi Yuan continued, “Actually, it’s not that there’s no solution. If you can arrange the demoted relatives to have someone to rely on and the dead relatives to have a good reincarnation, the Celestial Emperor can naturally appease the anger of the higher-ups. However, the Lord of Hell is upright and strict. Hell seems to listen to the Heavenly Court, but the Lord of Hell has the Dao Ancestor’s decree, so it’s hard for the Celestial Emperor to directly interfere in the matters of Hell.”
Jiang Xiu nodded slightly and felt that this was indeed a solution.
“Thank you for your guidance, Saint Qi. I will think about it carefully,” Jiang Xiu said.
Qi Yuan smiled when he heard that. He believed that Jiang Xiu could do it.
The two of them chatted for a while before Qi Yuan left.
Jiang Xiu looked at a small cauldron on the table. It was the Heaven and Earth Treasure Toad that the Jiang Family’s emperors had passed down from generation to generation. He asked softly, “Can humans really not defeat immortals?”
Even though Qi Yuan was doing this for his own good, his words had deeply stimulated him.
It turned out that Heavenly Jing and the Heavenly Court were not on equal footing.
The Heaven and Earth Treasure Toad trembled and did not answer.
Jiang Xiu shook his head and laughed. As long as it involved the Dao Ancestor and the Heavenly Court, this toad acted as if it was sick. This also showed how powerful the Dao Ancestor was.
He looked out the window, his eyes drifting.
“Grandfather, what kind of existence are you and how strong are you..
When Jiang Changsheng woke up, he did not immediately enter seclusion. Instead, he began to refine pills. He could not fall behind in terms of learning the Grand Alchemy Dao. The pills were not only helpful to his subordinates, as long as his Alchemy Dao became stronger, the pills could help him.
A year later.
The Flame Lord visited Jiang Changsheng in the Mental Wander Realm.
Currently, there were more than ten thousand Yan clansmen who had entered the Mental Wander Realm, and their numbers were increasing faster and faster every year. As more and more believers helped the Flame Lord rope in others, the effect was naturally getting stronger and stronger.
The Flame Lord waited for a long time before he heard the Dao Ancestor’s voice. “What’s the matter?”
Hearing this indifferent voice, the Flame Lord’s heart calmed down and his mood became pleasant. As long as the Dao Ancestor was still willing to pay attention to him, he was valuable.
When he heard that the Dao Ancestor had killed a Martial Lord and the 72 Divine Caves, he was almost frightened to death.
A Martial Lord was an existence that transcended above the rank of the Great Celestial Venerables. He was definitely an important figure. For the Yan Clan, he was a transcendent existence that they could not approach.
This matter did not spread throughout the Xuanhuang Great World, but it had already spread throughout the Yan Clan. This also made the Yan Clan feel that they were further away from the Dao Ancestor. This distance did not make them give up. Instead, they became even more enthusiastic.
“The Divine Martial Realm has dispatched more forces to encircle and suppress the ancient sects. The rebellious Luck Dynasties have also settled down. The number of God Punishment Army is more than ten times larger than before. There are also other armies. It seems like the internal strife in the Divine
Martial Realm has ended…”
The Flame Lord hastily said. In his opinion, the Divine Martial Realm must have been stimulated by the Dao Ancestor.
Not to mention a Martial Lord, not to mention experts in the Dao Martial Spirit Realm, experts in the Ultimate Void Realm were already unkillable existences in the eyes of most people. The deterrence of the Dao Ancestor had already surpassed the ancient sects.
Jiang Changsheng was not surprised when he heard that. He had expected this situation, but he did not panic. If the Divine Martial Realm were to attack, he could just close the Myriad Worlds Gate. At present, the Kunlun Field had yet to be exposed, but the Myriad Worlds Gate would lead to different worlds.
After the battle with Dugu Duo ended, he even specially sent out a clone to hide in the Myriad Worlds Gate. Wherever there was an incoming powerful aura, the clone would close the Myriad Worlds Gate at the first instance.
The Flame Lord reported other situations, most of which were about major events in the 3000 worlds.
In addition, the Yan Clan had already found dozens of Ye clansmen. However, the Yan Clan did not dare to leave the Xuanhuang Great World rashly because there were too many of them and they would easily attract attention. They could only wait for the Dao Ancestor to pick them up.
“Wait a little longer. Your current mission is to accumulate strength and ensure your own safety. Don’t let any spies appear. One day, I will personally pick you up. At that time, the Divine Martial Realm will not be able to stop me.”
Hearing the Dao Ancestor’s answer, the Flame Lord was extremely excited and hurriedly thanked him.
After a while, the Flame Lord left and Jiang Changsheng’s consciousness returned to reality.
After some thought, he sent a voice transmission to Jiang Ziyu and asked him to recall all the Immortal Gods. He decided he would close the Myriad Worlds Gate for the time being and lie low for the time being.
When the Divine Martial Realm finished sweeping through the ancient sects, they would definitely attack him.
The Heavenly Court had created a communication treasure that was exclusive to the Heavenly Court. With it, Jiang Ziyu could issue orders to all the Immoral
Gods that went out.
In less than three months, everyone returned except for Ping’an.
After they returned, the Myriad Worlds Gate was closed, which caused a considerable commotion.
On this day, Lu Shenzhou came to visit Jiang Changsheng, and Jiang Ziyu personally brought him here.
“What is it?”
Jiang Changsheng’s voice sounded from the Purple Cloud Palace, but the door was not opened.
Lu Shenzhou knelt in front of the door and said, “Dao Ancestor, now that the Myriad Worlds Gate is closed, I believe you are afraid of the Divine Martial Realm. Even though you are powerful, the Heavenly Court is indeed weak. Coincidentally, I have a match set with a prodigy, and it’s about time, so why don’t you let me go and fight? When the time comes, I will capture that guy so that he can increase the strength of the Heavenly Court.”
“The Divine Martial Realm will never publicize my defection. The Divine
Martial Realm places too much importance on prodigies. Previously, Ye
Shenkong’s incident had greatly reduced the prestige of the Divine Martial Realm. Right now, Ye Shenkong’s name is taboo in the Divine Martial Realm and cannot be mentioned. How could they possibly expose my defection? Therefore, it will not be too dangerous for me to go out.” After Jiang Ziyu heard this, he looked forward to it. Lu Shenzhou was too useful. He wanted another one!
“Alright!”
Lu Shenzhou was overjoyed when he heard Jiang Changsheng’s voice.
At that moment, a strand of hair landed in front of him and the Dao Ancestor’s voice sounded. “Keep my hair well. It can save your life at a critical time.” Lu Shenzhou hurriedly accepted it and thanked Dao Ancestor.
Then, Jiang Changsheng moved him out of the Kunlun Field, and Jiang Ziyu took his leave.
Lu Shenzhou flew towards the Xuanhuang Great World in high spirits while Jiang Changsheng began to move the Kunlun Field to prevent Lu Shenzhou from exposing the location of the Kunlun Field if he was captured..
