Chapter 302: Plan to Break Out of the Situation, Love

“How can Great Jing transform?”

Bai Qi asked curiously, and the others also looked at Chen Li.

Chen Li glanced at Jiang Changsheng and said, “The first problem is that the emperors are appointing a crown prince too early, causing the next emperor to be of old age when he ascends the throne. This needs to be changed, but it is not easy to change. The problem of changing this means that it would overthrow the tradition of the eldest son of the first wife inheriting the throne. The second problem is that the civil and military officials are controlling of power, making it difficult for newly ascended emperors to control them. Even if they are loyal officials, they will be arrogant and feel that they know the dynasty better than the Emperor. The third problem is that the aristocratic families are powerful and have mastered too many ultimate techniques. The gap between them and the common people is getting larger and larger. This is a principle that will never change. At this time, there will often be internal strife.

“There are other problems, such as the talent of the emperor. However, these problems can be resolved at once. That is to cause chaos in Great Jing. When Great Jing is about to collapse, we will support a new emperor and formulate new rules. At that time, no one will dare to stop us.”

His words caused everyone to fall into deep thought.

The Sword God said, “You dare to raise such an idea because you want the Dao Ancestor to back you up?

Chen Li nodded and said, “That’s right. The Great Jing has the Dao Ancestor. As long as the Dao Ancestor does not want to give up on Great Jing, Great Jing will not fall. Therefore, no matter how chaotic it is, there’s no problem. It’s just that the people of this generation will have to suffer. However, from the perspective of the dynasty, what’s wrong with sacrificing a generation if we want the Great Jing to go further and live longer?”

Even though it was cruel, it was the truth.

Chen Li was no longer the hot-blooded scholar he used to be. He had been on battlefields, served the people, and also helped the emperors of several eras of the Jing Dynasty, and this thought could no longer be suppressed. He had long understood that there were gains and losses in everything, and there was no perfect strategy.

Ji Wujun said, “It’s true that only an internal strife can cleanse the situation. However, when the world is in chaos, it’s easier to produce a powerful and strategic monarch. If Great Jing’s luck is still intact, a wise ruler will certainly rise. Back then, when the Sacred Dynasty was on the verge of collapse, there were also people from the Ji Family who stood up and led the Sacred Dynasty to a new age of prosperity.”

Mu Lingluo looked at Jiang Changsheng, curious about his thoughts.

Jiang Changsheng was different from everyone else. He was not only the protector of Great Jing, but he was also the ancestor of the imperial family. How could he bear to do that?

Jiang Changsheng did not speak and drank his tea alone.

Bai Qi asked in surprise, “Do we have to do this? Isn’t it good for Master to directly replace the aristocratic families, ministers, and the Emperor?”

Chen Li shook his head and said, “One small action will affect the whole situation. There are too many people and interests involved. Moreover, doing so will cause the people to abandon the Dao Ancestor. We can’t keep killing until no one dares to object, right? In that case, Great Jing will definitely be torn into pieces. With the Dao Ancestor’s identity, he is only suitable to give people hope in times of crisis.”

At this point, he sighed. The external enemies of Great Jing had been resolved by the Dao Ancestor. But now, the internal problems also required the Dao Ancestor to take action. Even he felt ashamed.

“Why don’t you just proclaim yourself as the Emperor, Dao Ancestor? In any case, you are a member of the Jiang Family. Moreover, you are an immortal, so you should not be restricted by your lifespan. Up until now, you have yet to integrate with Great Jing’s luck.”

Ye Xun laughed. Ji Wujun’s eyes brightened when she heard that.

In fact, in Ji Wujun and Venerable Bai’s hearts, the Dao Ancestor’s ascension to the throne was the most promising option.

In the world of martial arts, the emperors could not be weak. Even if he was not the strongest, he had to be one of the strongest before he could suppress the people.

Jiang Changsheng said, “Let nature take its course. No matter what, the martial arts of Great Jing will not change. It will only become stronger and stronger. If the imperial power is not established enough, just support another emperor.”

In his opinion, the current problem of Great Jing was a small matter. Any dynasty would experience it. It was fine as long as Great Jing did not fall. As for his believers, as long as their faith in him reached a certain level, they could enter the Mental Wander Realm and obtain ultimate techniques. This was enough for them to distinguish themselves and escape the suffering of the bottom class.

Jiang Changsheng did not have the energy to take care of those with insufficient faith.

Thinking of the Mental Wander Realm, he had to prepare for his second lecture. Even though he was an immortal cultivator, he had also grasped many ultimate techniques. By analogy, he could also resolve the doubts of his believers and even teach them ultimate techniques.

He hoped that the next lecture would increase his incense points faster.

Chen Li stayed in the courtyard for half a day before he went down the mountain. He had a mansion in the capital and was prepared to recuperate for dozens of years and enjoy the joy that came with a happy family. When the chaotic times arrived and the wise lord appeared, he would appear again.

“Wang Chen, born in the 32nd year of the Taihe Era and died on the battlefield between Great Jing and the Qiangliang Race. Your good deeds have exceeded your evil deeds, making you qualified to become a ghost soldier of Hell. You can also choose to wait for the opportunity to reincarnate.”

In Hell, the Head of Punishment’s indifferent voice echoed.

The soul standing in the hall looked up and asked, “Will I be a ghost soldier forever?”

“That’s not true. Hell has its order and rules. Becoming a ghost soldier is equivalent to entering the ghost path. It’s not impossible for you to become a ghost immortal in the future. It can be considered as escaping the pain of reincarnation, but also losing the joy of the secular world.”

Hearing this, Wang Chen immediately said, “Then I want to be a ghost soldier!”

The Head of Punishment nodded and waved his brush at him, sending a trace of karmic power. Then, he asked the reapers on both sides to send him down.

Not long after, Jiang Che walked in.

“Recently, there have been more and more souls in Great Jing. Many of them have been waiting for years. If reincarnation does not start soon, it will be bad.”

Jiang Che asked worriedly. He paused for a moment and said, “Does the Dao

Ancestor have any instructions?”

The Head of Punishment answered, “There’s no need to worry. The Yellow

Spring has been born, and the cycle of reincarnation will be established soon. There’s no need for the Dao Ancestor to work hard. As more and more souls are lost in Hell, the power of karma in Hell is also becoming stronger. It’s inevitable that the cycle of reincarnation will be born. I’m prepared to establish the Ten Yama Kings. What do you think?”

Jiang Che said, “That’s a good thing, of course. Otherwise, it would be too inefficient if all of them were to stay here.”

The Head of Punishment nodded. He had to think carefully about how to choose the Ten Kings of Hell.

Jiang Che did not disturb him. After he came to Hell, the status between him and the Head of Punishment had been reversed. About this, he was not dissatisfied. On the contrary, he respected the Head of Punishment very much. After all, he had been taken care of by the Head of Punishment since he was young.

In the 7th year of the De Huang Era, the Emperor stopped his purge of the imperial court and the dynasty finally stabilized.

Great Jing’s martial strength soared once again, after benefiting from those corpses of the Qiangliang warriors. Every Qiangliang warrior was as huge as a mountain, and dividing them up would benefit many martial artists. The people in Jiang Changsheng’s courtyard had also enjoyed the physical body of the Qiangliang King. As a result, their strength had increased extremely quickly, and all of them had broken through.

Jiang Tianming, this kid, had already reached the Three Grotto-heaven realm while Ji Wujun had reached the Nine Grotto-heaven realm. Right now, she was focused on breaking through to the Martial King realm.

The current Jiang Tianming still looked young. Even though he was mentally mature, it was hard for people to treat him as an adult.

It was autumn, and the courtyard was quiet.

Jiang Changsheng was meditating in the Daoist temple. Ever since he had the Purple Cloud Palace, he had moved in to cultivate. Every month, he would take some time and go out. However, everyone was not disappointed about this. Instead, they breathed a sigh of relief. Without Jiang Changsheng in the courtyard, they were much more relaxed.

Jiang Changsheng was currently paying attention to Jiang Jian, Lin Haotian, and Ping’an.

These three stinky boys had already reached the Four Grotto-heaven realm. What’s surprising was that Ping’an had actually caught up to them. That strange flower was not simple, and it had allowed Ping’an’s talent to transform. Even Jiang Jian and Lin Haotian were envious. What kind of luck was this? He could transform just by picking up a random flower.

The three of them wandered in the depths of the Great Wilderness with the Spirit Race. Recently, they had encountered a human tribe in the Great Wilderness. This tribe was isolated from the world. There were less than a million of them, but all of them were powerful.

After some friction, the four of them entered the tribe and obtained the friendship of the tribe. However, some strange things happened. Jiang Jian actually developed feelings for the daughter of the chieftain of the tribe. As a result, he offended many men of the tribe, triggering a series of stories.

Jiang Changsheng found it interesting when he heard their thoughts.

If he also liked to take risks, would he have experienced a similar life?

Jiang Jian had lived in the Great Jing for so many years, but he had yet to get married and have children. Even though he had the occasional romantic encounters, his heart had always been in the world. Now that he had met his beloved, he fell into an unprecedented entanglement.

If he stayed, it was impossible for him to return to Great Jing for the rest of his life. If he did not stay, it would be difficult for him to return. How dangerous would it be to travel with his sweetheart?

Lin Haotian was rather carefree. He felt that with the Mental Wander Realm, he could meet with his good friends in Great Jing no matter how far away he was. In any case, he was already all alone, and he was not qualified to repay Jiang Changsheng. Therefore, it was good for him to stay in that tribe. At the very least, he could learn martial arts there.

Even though this tribe was isolated from the world, their martial arts techniques were exceptionally powerful, allowing Lin Haotian to feel the elegance of ancient martial arts techniques.

Jiang Changsheng suddenly opened his eyes.

He did not have any opinions about Jiang Jian’s choice. He decided to let Jiang Jian make his own decision. The distance between them would not be a problem in the future. Even if Jiang Jian could not cross it, he could.

This was his most beloved grandson, so Jiang Changsheng naturally had to

favor him.

“How’s the Mu Family’s situation?” Jiang Changsheng suddenly asked.

Mu Lingluo was sitting beside him. Only she could come in and train with him.

Hearing this, Mu Lingluo opened her eyes and said, “It’s pretty good. Even though I’m fighting openly and covertly with the other aristocratic families, you don’t have to worry about it. I don’t want to interfere either. As generations of disciples grow up, there are many things beyond my control. Brother Changsheng, you don’t have to care too much about my opinion. Right now, my heart must be with you.”

Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “You worry too much. I just happened to hear Jiang Jian’s thoughts.”

He told her about Jiang Jian’s situation.

Only then did Mu Lingluo understand. She blinked and said, “My parents are naturally concerned about my marriage, but how can common customs of the mortal world tie you down?”

She was rather open-minded. In her opinion, it was ridiculous to let the Dao Ancestor marry her openly and ruin his identity as the Dao Ancestor. She was also using this reason to deal with her parents. Even though her parents were dissatisfied, they could only agree with the support of her grandfather, Mu Xuangang.

In fact, she understood that her parents wanted Jiang Changsheng to marry her because they wanted to ride on the Dao Ancestor’s coattails. Once that happened, the Mu Family’s current status would be tied with the Dao Ancestor.

She did not tell her grandfather and parents about the relationship between Jiang Changsheng and the Jiang Family. No one in the world knew.

“Brother Changsheng, can you tell me the story of Hua Jianxin?” Mu Lingluo could not help but ask.

Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Haven’t you heard of it before?”

Mu Lingluo moved closer to him and said, “At that time, you were too vague. Be more detailed this time. There’s also Jiang Ziyu’s story.”

For some reason, ever since she heard the name Jiang Ziyu, she felt inexplicably close to him. Additionally, she was also weirdly happy when she heard people praising Taizong..
