Chapter 178: Attack With All One’s Might, Battle for the Luck of the Dynasty

Translator: Henyee Translations      Editor: Henyee Translations

In the 18th year of the Shuntian Era, Great Jing began to occupy the islands in the southern ocean. To achieve this, a large number of martial artists rushed over, displaying their strength.

Right now, there were sixteen teleportation arrays in Great Jing. Most of them were located in the northern and western borders, and the longest distance they could cross exceeded 200,000 miles.

Due to the scarcity of teleportation arrays, they could not be used for civilian or commercial purposes for the time being.

Longqi Mountain, in the courtyard.

Emperor Shuntian was telling Jiang Changsheng his plan.

He was prepared to first dominate the southern part of the ocean and establish a trading line before thinking of ways to isolate the dynasties on the Dragon Vein Continent. In this way, he could substantially control the Dragon Vein Continent and have the citizens of other dynasties work for Great Jing.

From Emperor Shuntian’s point of view, if they wanted to unify the continent, they had to unify when outsiders were around them. If everyone in the Dragon Vein Continent was from Great Jing, the dynasty would easily collapse if they did not have equality. At that time, the people would need a new emperor to bring them hope.

However, if everyone in the world was equal, who would be responsible for production?

Therefore, Emperor Shuntian’s current goal was not to directly sweep through all the dynasties on the continent, but to sever the connection between the ocean and them and make them subsidiary dynasties of Great Jing. Great Jing would use money to purchase their labor and resources so that they could devote their energy to the growth of Great Jing. When Great Jing was powerful enough to start conquering other continents, they would unify the Dragon Vein Continent. At that time, the other continents would replace these dynasties and continue to provide labor for Great Jing.

Of course, Great Jing would also rely on its own people to produce. However, in Emperor Shuntian’s opinion, it was hard for a dynasty to soar by relying on itself.

Jiang Changsheng had no objections to Emperor Shuntian’s strategy. Emperor Shuntian must know better than him how to govern the country.

After Emperor Shuntian finished speaking, he changed the topic and asked, “Dao Ancestor, I already have a prince. Can I let them enter the Longqi Temple to practice martial arts?”

Jiang Changsheng glanced at him and said, “Of course, but I won’t teach him

personally.”

Emperor Shuntian smiled and said, “It’s alright. If you see anyone you like, you can teach as you please. If you don’t like them, forget it.” Jiang Changsheng nodded in agreement.

Emperor Shuntian stayed for a while longer before leaving.

Ye Xun asked curiously, “What he meant was for you to continue to be the teacher of the future emperor. Why did you refuse?”

Jiang Changsheng calmly said, “There’s no need. Let’s talk about it if we meet in person.”

All along, he had never interfered with the administrative affairs of Great Jing.

Therefore, it was meaningless for him to be the emperor’s teacher. As long as Great Jing thrived, he did not have to be too close to the imperial power. After all, the imperial power would not dare to suppress him.

If a fatuous ruler appeared in the future, Jiang Changsheng could just appoint another emperor.

He could even have another son with Mu Lingluo and have him become the Emperor of Great Jing.

How powerful was his current cultivation? If he had another son, his son’s talent must have far exceeded Jiang Ziyu’s talent back then.

Jiang Ziyu’s descendants were not really talented because when Jiang Changsheng gave birth to Jiang Ziyu, he was not powerful.

Of course, this was a last resort.

Jiang Changsheng still hoped that Jiang Ziyu’s bloodline could support Great Jing forever. This was also his responsibility to the people of Great Jing. The people worshipped him, and he helped the people find a virtuous ruler to provide for them.

“The little emperor should be able to live for another fifty years.”

Bai Qi guessed that it was hard for an Emperor of Luck to live past a hundred years old. However, Emperor Shuntian was only twenty-eight years old, and he would only be seventy-eight years old in fifty years. At such a young age, he had already achieve such great deeds that surpassed his ancestors. It was hard to imagine how powerful Great Jing would be when he died of old age.

Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes and said, “Life and death are up to fate. Who can predict it?”

Ye Xun began to speculate about Jiang Changsheng’s expectations of Great Jing.

Why did the Dao Ancestor support Great Jing?

From the looks of it, the Dao Ancestor did not seem interested in the imperial power.

In August, a martial artist challenged Martial Peak and wanted to enter the Hero’s Tomb. In the end, he could not even defeat Qing’er and was chased down the mountain.

Right now, there were fewer and fewer martial artists coming to Longqi

Temple to challenge them. Only those who were about to die would dare to come. However, True Gods could not trigger the survival reward at all, so Jiang Changsheng was too lazy to come forward.

Qing’er was already a True God and could take charge of things on her own. Therefore, Jiang Changsheng decided to pass the position of Daoist Master to her so that it would be easier for her to find her next eldest disciple.

In September, Longqi Temple welcomed a new Daoist Master. Qing’er was also the third Daoist Master since the founding of Longqi Temple.

The Dao Ancestor lived in seclusion at Longqi Mountain and no longer cared about the affairs of Longqi Temple, so the disciples of Longqi Temple did not have much of a reaction. After all, it was only the Daoist Master’s title that had changed. In any case, the Dao Ancestor was still at Longqi Temple.

This news quickly spread throughout the martial arts world of Great Jing. Many sects sent congratulatory letters. All the martial artists knew that Qing’er would become a giant in the martial arts world for a hundred years.

Under the tree, Jiang Changsheng’s gaze pierced through the fog and looked at Qing’er who was surrounded by various representative of sects. He felt extremely emotional.

“Senior Sister, back then, Master felt that since you were a woman , it was inconvenient for you to be a Daoist Master. In this life, I have fulfilled your dream.”

Jiang Changsheng smiled as he thought to himself.

He had already recorded the martial arts technique of the Respected Great

Martial into a secret book and placed it in the Sutra Depository Pavilion of

Longqi Temple. Coupled with Yang Zhou and the nine peerless geniuses,

Longqi Temple would completely surpass the True Dragon Temple and the Fuyue Family in less than twenty years and become the number one sect in Great Jing.

The Sword God stroked his beard and smiled. “In another few decades, Chao Sects will become a thing of the past.”

Right now, Chao Sects were already very low-key. Most of them had already joined a dynasty, just like the Fuyue Family. Right now, the term ‘Chao Sect’ was rarely mentioned.

Bai Qi smiled and said, “Isn’t that a good thing? It saves us from disturbing our peace.”

Huang Tian came over and asked curiously, “What is a Chao Sect?”

Hei Tian also followed and stared at Bai Qi.

Bai Qi began to tell them a story from dozens of years ago. Ye Xun was also interested in Jiang Changsheng’s past and listened attentively.

Mahayana Dragon Tower, Star Gathering Tower, Martial Comprehension Valley, Great Wilderness Dynasty, Hongxuan Dynasty…

The battle between the various forces and the Dao Ancestor fascinated the two demon cats.

After Bai Qi finished speaking, she was still unsatisfied.

Even though Jiang Changsheng did not say anything, he felt refreshed deep down. It was quite an experience to hear his story from Bai Qi.

Ye Xun suddenly looked at Jiang Changsheng and asked, “Dao Ancestor, has anyone forced you to use your full strength?”

The moment he said that, everyone looked at Jiang Changsheng.

Jiang Changsheng did not open his eyes and casually said, “I’m also looking forward to that person’s appearance.”

He really knew how to act!

Bai Qi looked at Jiang Changsheng and called out in her heart.

Ye Xun and the Sword God stared at him in awe. Both of them had challenged him before, and the despair and fear they felt at that time were still fresh in their minds.

Jiang Changsheng suddenly felt depressed.

Alas.

He really wanted to know how strong he was.

However, he was afraid that such a situation would happen. How terrifying would the enemy be if they could force him to use his full strength?

The end of the year.

On this day, morning court started in Great Jing.

Emperor Shuntian lazily sat on the dragon throne and felt sleepy as he listened to the argument of officials.

They were once again arguing about the Martial Palace, mainly for the sake of human resources. The 149 Martial Palaces required a large number of civil and military personnel.

At that moment, a gust of wind blew into the throne room.

Emperor Shuntian narrowed his eyes and sat up straight.

The officials turned around and saw a white-robed old man riding the wind and gently landing in the hall.

Chen Li frowned and asked, “Who are you? How dare you trespass into the palace of Great Jing!”

Emperor Shuntian could not see through the other party’s strength, but the Dao Ancestor did not take action, which meant that he was not a threat.

The white-robed old man raised his right hand and held the scroll in it. With an indifferent expression, he ignored the surrounding officials and stared at Emperor Shuntian. “I am from Martial Emperor Island. In the name of the Martial Emperor, I have come to the Dragon Vein Continent to inform you about a huge matter.”

Martial Emperor Island?

Emperor Shuntian had heard from Zhang Ying of the Amazing Fate Merchant Guild that it was a sacred place on the ocean.

None of the civil and military officials had heard of Martial Emperor Island, but it did not sound simple. They did not dare to act rashly.

The white-robed old man opened the scroll and a golden light appeared, shining in the throne room.

“This is the Luck Scroll. Your Majesty, please store it well. It will reflect Great Jing’s luck to Martial Emperor Island. If Great Jing’s luck is strong, it can obtain the support of Martial Emperor Island.”

After the white-robed old man said that, he used his true qi to send the scroll to Emperor Shuntian.

He then looked at the civil and military officials and said, “Everyone, the battle for the throne has begun. Everyone in the endless ocean has to participate. The strong will be strong, and the weak will die. They will either be annexed by others or annex others. The winner will be promoted to a dynasty that surpasses the Luck Dynasty and unify the human race.”

“Whether you will fight or be annexed will depend on your own wishes. You can also enjoy wealth and status now and let your descendants make the choice.”

With that said, the white-robed old man turned around and left. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the hall, stirring up a gust of wind that fluttered the robes of the officials.

Battle for the throne?

Surpassess the Luck Dynasty?

The officials looked at each other.

Emperor Shuntian opened the scroll and saw a map with densely packed islands dotted on the ocean. He looked carefully and noticed that these were all continents!

Every continent was marked with words, and there were also names in various ocean areas. He quickly found the two words, Dragon Vein.

The Dragon Vein Continent was located to the north of the map. It was not the smallest continent, but it was not the largest.

Looking at the map, Emperor Shuntian was shocked. An indescribable emotion surged in his heart.

The Sacred Dynasty!

Unify the human race!

Emperor Shuntian’s ambitions were once again ignited. He slowly put away the imperial scroll. He glanced at the officials in the hall and said, “Did all of you hear me clearly? Great Jing cannot stop. The Great Jing I want is not just strong for a hundred years, but a dynasty in power for tens of thousands of years. Are you willing to work hard for me to create an unprecedented prosperous dynasty?”

His voice was sonorous, confident, and ambitious, which also ignited the officials.

“We are willing!”

The civil and military officials responded in unison. No matter what they thought, they did not dare to disrespect the Emperor.

Chen Li stared at the scroll and was secretly shocked.

He could sense that this item was condensed from luck. As soon as it appeared, Emperor Shuntian’s luck actually strengthened.

It was not just a blessing, but also a curse.

Under the Earth Spirit Tree.

Jiang Changsheng said, “Ye Xun, welcome the guest.”

Ye Xun was stunned when he heard that and immediately stood up.

Bai Qi curiously asked, “Who’s here?”

Jiang Changsheng calmly said, “A One Grotto-heaven realm expert.”

Bai Qi trembled and the Sword God opened his eyes.

Not long after, Ye Xun came with the white-robed old man.

Ye Xun frowned. He did not notice that a Grotto-heaven realm expert had come to the capital. Moreover, this person claimed to be from Martial Emperor Island..
