Chapter 103: Golden Body Phenomenon, Dao Ancestor’s Brocade Pouch

Translator: Henyee Translations       Editor: Henyee Translations

At the beginning of the 36th year of the Qianwu Era, there was good news from the front line. Ping’an had displayed his might and finally killed the True God of the Donglin Dynasty. Since that happened, the Heavenly Strategy Army was unstoppable and began to attack the cities and land in a frenzy. The Donglin Dynasty was in danger!

The Emperor was happy and announced to the world that he would bestow Ping’an as the mighty general of the Heavenly Strategy. The world was in jubilation.

While waiting for the war report, the Emperor was not idle. He turned Great Jing into 49 states. The sizes of each state varied, and some of the states were even comparable to several states. All the states near the border were guarded by the vassals. The vassals could recruit soldiers on their own. They all had to recruit 500,000 soldiers within two years and wait for the Emperor’s orders. When Great Jing displayed its might, more and more dynasties curried favor with it. They even wanted to become affiliated dynasties. The capital was bustling with activity, and they could always see people from different dynasties. Their clothing was different, so it was an eye-opener for the citizens.

The capital already had the reputation of being the main city of the world!

In the imperial study.

Wang Shu met with the Great Jing Emperor. Han Tianji and Jiang Xiu were also in the room.

Wang Shu cupped his hands and bowed to Jiang Ziyu before asking, “May I ask the Emperor of Great Jing, will he form an alliance with Great Wilderness after annexing the Donglin Dynasty?”

When he came to the capital, he had brought other envoys with him so that it would be easier for him to send messages. Moreover, while he was in the capital, Jiang Ziyu had treated him well and served him well. At first, Wang Shu felt that Great Jing’s attitude was friendly and that there was a chance for the two dynasties to join hands. However, the longer he waited, the more uneasy he felt.

The Emperor of Great Jing had not relented for a long time, so it was very likely that he was deliberately leading him on.

Jiang Ziyu said calmly, “I’ve thought about it. Even though the world is huge, I don’t want to split it equally with others.”

As soon as he said that, Wang Shu was furious. He pointed at Jiang Ziyu and scolded, “B*stard, are you deliberately toying with me to make Great Wilderness lower its vigilance?”

“You’re gravely mistaken. As long as I don’t return, Great Wilderness will continue to recruit soldiers. Since you want to fight, let’s fight. Great Wilderness will let you know what a real Luck Dynasty is!”

Jiang Ziyu smiled and said, “Go back. I won’t kill you since the two dynasties are connected. Don’t get beheaded.”

Wang Shu was furious, but he was also surprised. When he heard Jiang Ziyu’s words, he thought he was doomed. He did not expect Jiang Ziyu to let him go.

In the face of his gaze, Jiang Ziyu picked up a memorial and said casually, “I will not launch a sneak attack on Great Wilderness. I will fight it fair and square. Go back and watch. When I break through the Great Wilderness Dynasty, if you are willing to work for me, I welcome you.”

Wang Shu took a deep breath and looked at him deeply. “Emperor of Great Jing, your ambition is indeed impressive, but you are only a mortal and cannot eat the vast world yourself. I hope you won’t regret it.”

With that said, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Han Tianji watched him leave and clicked his tongue in wonder. “Actually, it’s better to kill him. It can buy us more time.”

Jiang Ziyu said, “There’s no need. It will take at least a year and a half for him to return. If the border makes things difficult again, it won’t be a problem to delay for a few years.”

Han Tianji smiled and said in admiration, “Your Majesty is still the best.”

Jiang Xiu asked curiously, “Father, should we start a war with the Donglin Dynasty so that they could act as the transportation route? A Luck Dynasty is huge. Should we take down the dynasties around the Grand Wilderness Plateau first? I don’t think the Grand Wilderness Plateau dares to act rashly. After all, they have been living in peace for hundreds of years. How could they have the ambition to attack Great Jing who is like a tiger?”

Jiang Ziyu looked at the sand table not far away with a deep gaze.

After a moment of silence, he said, “There’s no need to directly defeat the Great Wilderness Dynasty. The surrounding dynasties will naturally surrender. If we attack the other dynasties first, it will be too time-consuming.”

Jiang Xiu understood what she meant and stopped persuading him.

Han Tianji did not interrupt and looked at the sand table as well.

In June, Great Jing completely took control of the Donglin Dynasty. The

Emperor sent the aged King Qin, Jiang Yu, to personally take over the Donglin Dynasty. The territory of Great Jing expanded again, annexing not only the Donglin Dynasty, but also many sects of the Donglin Dynasty.

A large number of troops began to gather in the East Forest, and there were countless laborers building roads behind them. Over the years, with the abundance of resources, Great Jing’s economy had been rising. Even if they were to build roads, they would still receive a lot of money. Therefore, the citizens had no complaints.

The battle between Luck Dynasties was about to begin, and the forty-nine states in the dynasty were talking about it.

Many people felt that there was no need to start a war, but many people felt that it was time to fight. Only by going through wars could Great Jing continue to prosper.

Noon.

Jiang Changsheng had just tempered Jiang Jian’s body for an hour. After Jiang Jian took a shower, he began to meditate to increase his true qi.

Li Jun entered the courtyard and came to Jiang Changsheng’s side. He told him about the recent happenings in the world, and Jiang Changsheng listened attentively.

Jiang Changsheng was listening when he suddenly looked up.

Li Jun, Bai Qi, and Hua Jianxin also looked up and were moved.

A twisting river of clouds appeared in the sky. It was endless, like a long dragon swaying its body. It was a spectacular sight.

Jiang Changsheng clearly sensed the fluctuation of Great Jing’s luck and looked towards the west.

Could it be…

A Golden Body realm expert was born?

Over the years, Han Tianji would occasionally visit him and talk about the phenomenon of the Golden Body realm.

Once a Golden Body realm expert was born, the providence of heaven and earth would definitely fluctuate. As Great Jing was already a Luck Dynasty, providence pervaded the whole dynasty. Therefore, the phenomenon formed was even more spectacular. It was also a reminder to everyone in the Luck Dynasty that a Golden Body realm expert was born in the world.

Li Jun muttered, “Don’t tell me the direction of this cloud is towards Great Wilderness?”

The Golden Body realm expert was from Great Wilderness?

Jiang Changsheng narrowed his eyes and felt that it was possible. After all, the Great Wilderness Dynasty had the longest history, and it was also a Luck Dynasty. Their foundation was unimaginable.

On the other side.

Han Tianji rushed to the imperial study and informed Jiang Ziyu of this matter.

When Jiang Ziyu heard that, his expression immediately darkened.

Great Jing had True Gods, but it did not have a Golden Body realm expert. Other than the upper three Chao Sects, the other sects did not have a Golden Body realm expert. How could Great Wilderness give birth to a Golden Body realm expert?

“Are you sure it’s from Great Wilderness?” Jiang Ziyu asked in a deep voice.

Han Tianji answered, “I’m not sure, but the direction is the same as Great Wilderness. It might come from behind Great Wilderness, but we can’t eliminate the possibility that Great Wilderness has produced a Golden Body realm expert. We have to keep this matter in mind.”

Jiang Ziyu stood up and walked to the door. He looked up at the phenomenon

of luck in the sky. It was really magnificent.

Han Tianji came behind him and looked up at him with an ugly expression.

Jiang Ziyu suddenly asked, “Why didn’t the Dao Ancestor cause such a phenomenon?”

Han Tianji pondered and said, “Perhaps he had experienced it before, but it was a long time ago. At that time, no one knew about the Golden Body realm.”

He had also thought about this question for a long time. That was the only possibility.

Jiang Ziyu remembered that the previous Great Jing was not a Luck Dynasty. Perhaps the commoners could not see the phenomenon, and the historian did not record it.

“Your Majesty, are we still going to fight? My suggestion is to scout for information first. If it really came from Great Wilderness, it is impossible to hide the fact since Great Wilderness is also a Luck Dynasty.”

“Well, let’s investigate it first.”

Jiang Ziyu said wearily.

He wanted to unify the world, but the Great Wilderness Dynasty alone gave him a headache. How could he unify the world in his lifetime?

Perhaps this dream was really an extravagant hope.

At night, Jiang Ziyu came to visit Jiang Changsheng alone with wine.

The others had already gone to the other courtyards, so no one disturbed them, including Jiang Jian.

Jiang Ziyu drank several bowls of wine alone. When he was drunk, he sighed and said, “Father, I am increasingly powerless. Even though Great Jing is powerful, it is still too young compared to other dynasties. It is as difficult as ascending to the heavens to devour the entire world.”

Jiang Changsheng shook his wine bowl and asked, “Weren’t you in high spirits just now? Why did you suddenly lose your fighting spirit? Is it because a Golden Body realm expert might appear in Great Wilderness?” Stinky brat!

Looking at Jiang Ziyu’s posture, Jiang Changsheng understood.

Acting again, right?

Jiang Ziyu’s face was filled with pain as he said, “A Golden Body realm expert? You know best what a Golden Body realm expert represents. No matter how powerful an army is, they can’t withstand the powerful strength of a Golden Body realm expert. You are the only Golden Body realm expert in my Great Jing. I can’t possibly let you kill enemies on the battlefield, right? That would be too unfilial.”

Jiang Changsheng chuckled as he watched his performance.

Jiang Ziyu began to complain about the sadness he had felt over the years. In fact, the officials and the imperial family did not want him to fight. They wanted him to stop. However, he was only a mortal and his lifespan would not exceed a hundred years. He was already fifty-seven years old. How could he wait?

He could see that Jiang Xiu did not have the ambition to devour the world, but he had the heart to think for the people’s livelihood. As for his grandson, he was still young and did not know his mind.

He felt that if he stopped, Great Jing would also stop completely. For the next fifty years, or even a hundred years, it would not expand unless the other Luck Dynasties come in full force.

Jiang Changsheng said helplessly, “Alright, alright. I’ll help you, alright?”

Hearing this, Jiang Ziyu immediately sobered up and asked excitedly, “Father, are you willing to go to the battlefield?”

Jiang Changsheng rolled his eyes and said, “I’ll get Huang Chuan to meet you tomorrow. Get someone to lead the way and bring him to the battlefield.”

Jiang Ziyu frowned and said, “Even though Huang Chuan is a True God, how can he be a match for a Golden Body realm expert?”

“I have my ways. If the Golden Body realm expert dares to appear, I will kill him.”

When Jiang Ziyu heard that, he chose to believe in Jiang Changsheng. Perhaps it was a magical martial art technique similar to the Scattering Beans into Soldiers Technique.

Jiang Ziyu was touched and ashamed. “Father, I’ve troubled you again. I’m useless.”

Jiang Changsheng could not stand his attitude and said, “Drink.”

The father and son continued to drink. After two hours, Jiang Ziyu staggered away. The White-robed Guards not far away immediately came to support him.

Looking at his back, Jiang Changsheng silently thought, “Son, do your best to expand your territory. I sincerely support you. I still need you to increase my incense points.”

The next morning, Jiang Changsheng called for Huang Chuan. After he gave him the task, he handed him a brocade bag and said solemnly, “You are not allowed to open it until you have seen the Golden Body realm expert. Otherwise, it will turn into an ordinary leaf and won’t work. Do you understand?”

When Huang Chuan heard that, he immediately became nervous and carefully took the brocade bag. He remembered the Scattering Beans into Soldiers Technique many years ago and could not help but become excited. “Master, don’t worry. I will keep it by my side. It will be foolproof.”

Jiang Changsheng nodded, and Huang Chuan immediately set off.

It was boring to stay in Longqi Temple, so he was excited that he could finally show off his skills.

Before he left, he even threw a provocative look at Jiang Jian and flaunted,

“Jiang Jian, watch me make a name for myself. Hahaha!”

Jiang Jian gnashed his teeth in anger, but he did not apply to Jiang Changsheng to go out to war.

His goal was the Golden Body realm!

At most, he would wait for dozens of years.. At that time, he would make the Luck Dynasties tremble in fear!
