Although helping Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty did not provide Jiang Changsheng a survival reward, his incense points began to increase rapidly. The effect of doing such a feat was gratifying.

Without Jiang Tianming and the other three, the courtyard was much more deserted. Golden Crow, Tai Wa, and Tai Xi wanted to go down the mountain, but they were stopped by Jiang Changsheng. This was because their image would easily cause trouble if they were to go out, so it was better to focus on practicing martial arts.

In less than a month, the news of the Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty’s arrival spread throughout Skyview Land, and the name of the Dao Ancestor once again spread throughout the land.

The integration of the two dynasties once again set off a wave in the dynasty.

When Emperor Fengtian announced that Fengtian would be integrated into Great Jing and become a vassal country, the people of Fengtian were in an uproar. A lot of them dissagreed with the decision, including the civil and military officials. However, when the experts of Great Jing arrived, they were convinced.

All sorts of information about the Great Wilderness and Great Jing flooded into

Fengtian, breaking the worldview of the commoners and martial artists in Fengtian. In a few months, Fengtian started to explore the Great Wilderness just like Great Jing.

This year was destined to enter the annals of history.

The world was in chaos. Civil and military officials, merchants, martial artists, farmers, and commoners were all lamenting about the Dao Ancestors’ remarkable abilities.

There were also more and more worshipers in the Mental Wander Realm.

Jiang Changsheng did not need to inject any new elements into the Mental Wander Realm, but it was still enough to make his believers obsessed with it. Exchange of information and martial arts techniques had become the main theme of the Mental Wander Realm. Here, there was no barrier between realms because as long as you did not say how strong you were, no one would know.

Currently, the strongest among the believers was Guan Tongyou, a Martial King realm expert, and there were three such Martial King realm experts. It was difficult for martial artists of a higher realm to believe in others because they only believed in themselves.

Time flew by.

Three years passed.

In the 31st year of the Yan Yuan Era, Fengtian and Great Jing completely integrated. Li Ya was conferred the title of Lord Fengtian, and Fengtian’s luck all belonged to Great Jing. Even so, Li Ya’s health took a turn for the worse.

As long as you were an emperor of luck, your fate could not be changed. Even if you were not an emperor and specialized in martial arts, you could not increase your lifespan by much.

It was not only Li Ya, but even the Emperor of Great Jing was also in the same condition. It was mainly because Jiang Liu did not practice martial arts and usually indulged in pleasure. After Fengtian joined the Great Jing, he partied for three years. He did not attend the morning court session for three whole years and asked the prime ministers of the three major provinces to preside over government affairs, which also triggered internal strifes between the prime ministers.

One day in late May, Ji Wujun and the others finally came back.

Jiang Tianming wore an exquisite blue robe and looked very adorable. He looked to be only three years old, but his mental age had reached nineteen years old.

“Two months ago, he got drunk because he stole alcohol. As a result, he broke through in an instant…”

Ji Wujun was speechless when she talked about it.

Jiang Tianming had reached the Two Grotto-heaven realm!

Ye Xun and the Sword God were silent. Even though two months had passed, their moods were extremely gloomy every time they thought of this.

How much effort did they put in to reach the Two Grotto-heaven realm, while Jiang Tianming broke through just by eating and drinking?

Mu Lingluo, Bai Qi, Golden Crow, Tai Wa and Tai Xi all looked at Jiang

Tianming in shock. White Dragon was not shocked because it was still asleep.

Jiang Tianming smiled proudly and said, “What do you mean I was drunk? I was comprehending the Dao without any distractions. That’s why you can’t wake me up.”

Jiang Changsheng raised his hand and pulled him in front of him to observe him carefully.

Jiang Tianming exclaimed, “Great-grandfather, you’re amazing. I’m already so powerful, but you’re still able to control me at will.”

His voice still sounded childish, but after going out to play for three years and coupled with the existence of the Mental Wander Realm, he understood a lot and was no longer an ignorant child.

Jiang Changsheng checked him and was relieved after ensuring that there was nothing wrong with his body.

He released his hand and said, “Not bad, but you still need to work hard. You are extremely talented, so I have higher expectations of you. You have to reach the Martial King realm before you can go down the mountain and train alone.” Jiang Tianming raised his chin and said, “No problem, it’s not difficult at all!”

Mu Lingluo smiled and said, “I suddenly want to bring him back to the Mu

Family and stimulate those geniuses.”

Bai Qi snorted and said, “The disciples of Longqi Temple should also be stimulated. Too many geniuses have been born over the years, and they now don’t even salute me when they see me. How outrageous.”

Everyone started to chat about Jiang Tianming.

Jiang Changsheng smiled, but he was thinking about something else.

Recently, there had been more and more powerful auras around Skyview Land. Although they did not dare to enter Great Jing easily because they were not humans, they instead lurked outside and occasionally made friends with human martial artists.

These were all intelligent races and their physiques were not large. Human martial artists did not dare to rashly hunt for races similar to them and most of them chose to befriend them. This also caused Great Jing to gradually integrate into the Great Wilderness.

The Great Wilderness was extremely vast. Even those intelligent races did not know how big it was. There was always friendship and hatred between races, which was similar to the relationship between individual humans. For example, the Spirit Race had already begun to establish a trade relationship with Great Jing.

Jiang Changsheng did not think much of it. If any race dared to attack Great Jing, he would just destroy them. He was more worried that it had been a long time since an enemy gave him a survival reward.

Shuntian City, inside the palace.

Jiang Liu laid on the dragon couch with a thin bamboo in his hand. He took a deep breath into the bamboo and his body trembled. All of a sudden, he felt refreshed and his face regained some color.

“This thing is so exciting. Can you plant it in large quantities?” Jiang Liu asked expectantly.

Other than the eunuchs and palace maids, a middle-aged merchant stood before him with a respectful posture.

“Your Majesty, this item is called Tianle Bamboo, and it is extremely rare. It contains a large amount of martial arts spiritual energy and can be regarded as a heavenly treasure. I only obtained it by chance, but I will arrange for someone to continue collecting it,” the middle-aged merchant answered.

Jiang Liu revealed a look of regret and his face turned pale. He took another puff and said, “Do you have any other goods?”

The middle-aged merchant smiled and took out a cauldron that was small enough to fit his palm from his sleeve. He smiled smugly and said, “Your

Majesty, this thing is not simple. It is called the Heaven and Earth Treasure Toad. It can speak human language and know the affairs of the world. It can even decide life and death. This is an absolute spiritual creature that I obtained from the Yuan Race. There is only one male and one female pair in the world. They are naturally raised by the heavens and earth. Only after they die, will a new pair be born.”

Curious, Jiang Liu stood up and took the small cauldron. Through the holes on the surface of the cauldron, he could see a thumb-sized toad with silver-blue skin. It was obviously not a simple toad.

“Is that so? Then I want to give it a try. Heaven and Earth Treasure Toad, do you know my name?”

“Jiang Liu.”

The Heaven and Earth Treasure Toad answered in a boyish voice, which made Jiang Liu raise his eyebrows.

Jiang Liu asked, “How much did he earn from the medicinal ingredients I sent him to process?”

He pointed the Heaven and Earth Treasure Toad at the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man immediately felt awkward and wanted to say something but hesitated.

“30%.”

‘What? 30%?”

Jiang Liu was furious and jumped up.

The middle-aged man hastily knelt down as cold sweat broke out on his forehead. “Your Majesty, even though I took some of the profits away, I have doubled the price ah! To manage the business, money is always needed…’

Jiang Liu’s anger dissipated when he realized that he had also relied on him to earn a lot of money.

Even though he was the Emperor, the money in the state treasury did not entirely belong to him. If he wanted to use a large amount of money, he would have to discuss it with the prime ministers, which was extremely troublesome.

Jiang Liu looked at the Heaven and Earth Treasure Toad and asked, “How many years can I live?”

The Heaven and Earth Treasure Toad answered, “Five years.”

When Jiang Liu heard that, his eyelids twitched wildly. Even though he had roughly guessed it, he still felt uncomfortable. He knew his body best, but he had no regrets. He had played a lot in this life and made great contributions. He had no regrets.

He felt that his days were boring, so he asked the middle-aged man to help him search for treasures.

At that moment, a man walked in. It was the Crown Prince, Jiang Han.

Jiang Han walked over quickly. When he saw the middle-aged man, he frowned and said, “Father, this son’s grandson was just born. What do you think his generational name should be?”

Jiang Liu chuckled and said, “Heaven and Earth Treasure Toad, what generational name should my great-grandson have?”

The Heaven and Earth Treasure Toad answered, “His generational name should be called Xuan.”

“Jiang Xuan? Not bad, he should be named with three characters.”

Jiang Liu smiled. Then, he looked at the Crown Prince, Jiang Han, and said, “Your grandson will take the generational name of Xuan. As for his name, you can take it from me. I don’t have the time to care about this.’

Jiang Han frowned and his gaze landed on the small cauldron that contained the Heaven and Earth Treasure Toad. He asked, “What is that?”

Jiang Liu smiled proudly and said, “A treasure that knows everything. By the way, Xu Bang, how long can this thing live?”

Before the middle-aged man named Xu Bang could answer, the Heaven and

Earth Treasure Toad said, “I still have three hundred years to live.”

“You’re really smart. Then I’ll have to ask you more questions.”

Jiang Liu was amused. Then, he looked at Jiang Han and urged, “Hurry up and get down. I can’t let you listen to what I have to ask.”

Jiang Han’s frown deepened. He snorted and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Evidently, he was dissatisfied with Jiang Liu. Jiang Liu was already used to it and did not care at all.

“Stinky brat, tell him to come back as soon as possible. Why are you still angry with me? Do you not want to be the Emperor anymore? Be careful that I will remove his position as the crown prince.”

Jiang Liu scolded him jokingly, and Xu Bang pretended not to hear him.

Then, Jiang Liu sat down and placed the small cauldron on the table before he started to ask all sorts of questions.

“Do you know what the Dao Ancestor wants?”

“Who is the Dao Ancestor?”

“It seems like the Dao Ancestor is really an immortal god. Since you don’t know, let me ask a new question, is Jiang Han a wise ruler?”

“Is my grandson a wise ruler?”

“Son of a bitch. Like father, like son. He’s really like me.”

Jiang Liu cursed. Xu Bang wanted to leave the palace as soon as he heard that, fearing that he would hear too much and be killed.

“Why are you leaving? You were the one who offered this treasure to me. If I want to silence you, you will die even if you don’t listen.”

Jiang Liu snorted, and Xu Bang broke out in cold sweat.

Jiang Liu continued to ask. After one question after another, his expression became increasingly solemn.

Xu Bang trembled. The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace also turned pale with fear and trepidation.

Gradually, Jiang Liu’s expression darkened to the extreme. At that moment, the might of the emperor reappeared.

“Everyone, retreat. Xu Bang, stay!”

Jiang Liu said in a deep voice. The eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly knelt down and bowed before leaving.

After they left, Jiang Liu asked again, “Where are the White-robed Guards?” A figure quickly entered and knelt before him.

“Kill all the eunuchs and palace maids who went out just now. Leave none alive.

Don’t cause any commotion!”

“Yes!”

The White-robed Guard quickly left. Xu Bang trembled in fear and pressed his forehead against the ground, not daring to look up..
