Chapter Forty-Seventh: Ten Thousand Li as One Horizontal Lin

e to translate!Therefore, Zhong Xuan Sheng dared to take a risk and, through substituting existing resources, gained control over the exploration of the Tianfu Secret Realm for the Zhong Xuan family.L...That black-robed demon clan member encountered in the ancient Demon Cave beneath the Shanghai Mountains back then must have been the Seven Hates Demon Lord.

I didn't expect it to be even more powerful than an ordinary celestial demon.

Jiang Wang still felt a chill down her spine when she thought back on it.

If it weren't for the vast distance between the Myriad Realms Burial Ground and the mortal world, if it weren't for Master Guan Yan's intervention to protect me, if it weren't for removing the Crimson Heart Divine Ability, if it weren't for...

Today or has already become a skeleton, or has already become a demon body. "Are these eight demon lords related to the Eight Great Demon Skills" Jiang Wang asked.

The Duke of Mukuo had been stationed on the border for many years, so he understood the Demon Clan better than anyone else, just as Qi State was the most knowledgeable about the Sea Clan.

Tu Hu nodded slightly: "The Demon Ancestor personally created the Eight Great Demon Techniques, using them as the highest inheritance of the demon clan. Back then, the demon clan flourished because of this... These Eight Great Demon Techniques hold the most supreme status in the demon clan. Throughout history, only those who have cultivated the Eight Great Demon Techniques and achieved the Heavenly Demon can be called Demon Lords. They are regarded as masters of destiny, ruling over various domains, being the most honorable and noble existence in the demon clan."

Jiang Wang couldn't help but think, since the Phantom Demon Lord was such a terrifying existence, what level of powerhouse would he be if he personally took action against Tu Hu in Bian Huang

Although the Golden Robed Priest held a high position, it was clearly not commensurate with this treatment.

Tu Hu's body held so many secrets... Jiang Wang chuckled wryly, "I wonder what I have done to deserve being embroiled in such a high-level struggle."

"That's what I find curious," Tu Hu frowned and said, "Huanyaojun hasn't made a move in nearly three hundred years. Although this time it seems targeted, it's strange that it involves you. He looked over, his eyes holding a mysterious meaning: "Do you have anything on your body related to demonic arts"

"As for things related to demonic arts, there aren't any.

>

"However, I did come into contact with demonic arts." Jiang Wang said, picking out what he could say and recounting the Battle of Yuhou Valley where Beidou subdued the demon back then.

At that time, Yu Beidou himself went to the Sanxing Palace and asked the master of the Legalist school to clear Jiang Wang's name. This matter spread throughout the world, and Tu Hu also heard about it.

However, the details were the first time I heard them from Jiang Wang's mouth.

"As expected of 'Master of Divination for Half a Century'!" Tu Huizhan exclaimed. "I, Beidou, blocked the Blood Demon's lineage of transmission, accumulating immeasurable merit. If we allow the Blood Demon Lord to return to power, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Jiang Wang asked suspiciously, "Even if the Demon Lord's words add a few more, our human race should be able to handle it, right"

Tu Hu sternly said: “If it were only one or two demon lords, of course, it wouldn't be a serious threat. But according to the legends of the demon race since ancient times… when the Eight Great Demon Techniques gather, and the Eight Great Demon Bodies are formed, the Demon Ancestor will reappear in the world! Whether this legend is true or false, I think no one dares to verify it.”

The story of the Demon Ancestor, Jiang Wang had only recently heard about it at the Ji Xia Academy. In history, he was slain by the second generation Human Emperor in conjunction with the Sage of Confucianism and the Sage of Law. The fall of the Demon Ancestor was also seen as a mark of the end of the demonic tide, bringing an end to the ancient era.

After going through the Middle Ages and the Near Ancient Times, this world finally began.

According to the *Quiet Contemplation of You* collection, the Middle Ages lasted for 204,000 years and the Near Ancient Ages lasted for 103,000 years.

Tens of thousands of years have passed, now Tu Hu says that Mo Zu might even reappear in the human world

It's really unbelievable.

But if it were related to a being like the Demon Ancestor, then perhaps nothing would be impossible.

After all, it was a terrifying being that unleashed the demonic tide and cast a huge shadow over the latter half of the ancient era. No matter how terrible it was, it was insignificant compared to this. Even the World-Honored One of Buddhism grew up under that shadow and had a deep impression of it. In the Buddhist scriptures "The Sutra on Enlightenment Through Meditation," which recorded his words and deeds by his disciples, the demonic tide is mentioned many times, with great fear—this is what I heard in Master Yan Zen's lecture at Jixia Academy. But thinking about that somewhat unprofessional and stingy fortune teller, I couldn't help but feel a little respect for him.

Yu Beidou at that time, was truly saving the world... Bao thought for a moment, and Jiang Wang asked: "Lord Tu, do you think this time when I encountered the Piao demons in Bianhuang, is it related to my experience in Duan Hunxia"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“I can’t say for sure either,” Tu Hu said. “But one thing is certain: the Blood Demon Scripture will not be truly destroyed by Yu Beidou, and the blood demon will eventually be released. What he left behind on you… .”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

He looked at Jiang Wang: "When you two broke up, did Yu Beidou tell you anything"

Jiang Wang shook his head: "Just say see you later." Tu Hu suddenly smiled: "Then there shouldn't be a problem."

Speaking of which, among the four current Demon Lords, Jiang Wang has already interacted with at least two: Huan Mo Jun and Qi Hèn Mo Jun. There is also one more Blood Demon who hasn't returned to his post yet. Besides that, he personally killed nearly half of the Nine Great Demon Lords, so there's quite a bit of "karmic debt" with the word "Demon."

But this is also unavoidable. Ordinary people can remain in their isolated villages, living their lives unaware of the outside world, ignorant of the existence of the spirit realm and the true presence of demons. As a human prodigy, however, one must face certain realities and take on certain responsibilities.

Jiang Wang secretly decided that if he met Yu Beidou again, he still had to ask about the Blood Demon.

Then Tu Hu added, "I hear you have a duel with Dou Zhao"

"Indeed, this matter was set before the divine presence arrived," Jiang Wang said cautiously. "I never expected to have alarmed Lord Tu."

Tu Hu then asked: “Then, you must also want to spar with Huang Budo, Murong Longque, and Chen Suan”

"That depends on the circumstances. Sparring is to verify one's path, not for competition or rivalry. It's best if both parties are willing, so as not to hurt feelings and only focus on cultivation."

Tu Hu smiled and suddenly asked, "What do you think of Chen Suan" But Jiang Wang pondered for a moment and said, "I don't have any special opinion. I'm not very familiar with him." "Then let me rephrase that," Tu Hu lazily said, "What do you think of Jing Guo"

The minister from Qi was asked by the officials of the State of Mu, "What are your thoughts on the State of Jing"

How could the Qi state's emissaries look at this

He, Jiang Mouren, just came today to express his gratitude for personal matters.

He twitched the corner of his mouth at the moment:

"I have no opinion."

Tù Hù let out a cry.

"Can't bear to look any longer."

'As a junior, I must say that my knowledge is limited and I don't feel qualified to comment on such an ancient and venerable country.'

Tù Hùdào:

"It seems even Marquis Wu'an thinks Elder Jing is old."

Jiang Wang widened his eyes: "I never said that."

"I understand. You're angry but afraid to speak up. The people of Jingguo are just too domineering!"

“If you insist on chatting like this, I'll have to take my leave.”

Tu Hu laughed heartily, then stopped and looked at Jiang Wangdao: "Then I won't joke with you anymore. Let's talk about serious matters. As everyone knows, Qi Guo Wu Anhou possesses the inheritance of the Immortal Palace, his single hair can ascend to the heavens with unparalleled immortal arts. I ask you, do you know how the Nine Great Immortal Palaces disappeared"

Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat.

The blood-red characters "Dao Thief" on the stele erected in YunDing XianGong, though already erased, seemed to appear before his eyes. But he had rarely recalled that scene, nor had he ever actively sought to investigate its secrets. Because he knew, regarding the karmic causes that involved the survival of the XianGong, he simply couldn't afford to get involved.

Today, here at the illustrious Guangwen Hall of Yexia Temple, Dao Xie's expression was nonchalant as he merely brushed over the matter of gratitude. In their casual conversation, they went from Guangwen Bell to Ku Rong Courtyard, from Bianhuang to Mozhu, and from Daomen to Xiangong... It was undeniable that each topic was something he was extremely curious about. And Tu Hu seemed intent on revealing the answers to those questions one by one.

Isn't this just idle chatter

Jiang Wang shook his head: “I haven’t even figured out the history of the present world, let alone the secrets of ancient times. To be honest, I don't care much. People should focus on what's in front of them. Things from too long ago are something I can't concern myself with for now.”

Tu Hu seemed to not understand his evasiveness at all, and said: "If I told you that the fall of the Nine Great Palaces was related to the Taoist sect... even orchestrated by the Taoist newcomers themselves"

Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat.

Within the five regions and across the lands, the ruined Cloud Peak Immortal Palace seemed to harbor churning thunder.

Two celestial palace guards were diligently repairing the building. Even without mentioning that everything here looked as good as new, the debris and rubble were always much cleaner.

Since the Four Seas united, YunDing Immortal Palace no longer feels so gloomy. Or perhaps since BaiYun Child found a companion and spends his days commanding two strongmen to bustle about, this place, which had been silent for countless years, now has something called "vitality."

At this very moment, inside Yunxiao Pavilion, Baiyuntongzi, who was soundly asleep, suddenly sat up in bed like a startled carp. He was unable to get up.

Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!

So he switched to "Little Fatty Rolling," spun in a circle on the spot, then propped himself up with his hands and stood up.

Stepping onto a small cloud, I flew onto the roof of Yunxiao Pavilion. My eyes widened, and my ears perked up, very interested in the secrets to come.

After all, he is Bai Yun Xiaoxian Tong, shouldering the great responsibility of restoring the fairy palace.

The Immortal Master didn't care at all, he absolutely couldn't be bothered—work was too tiring. He was much rather willing to eavesdrop for a while.

Unlike Bai Yuntongzi, Jiang Wang didn't want to delve into anything himself. Or perhaps, he didn't want to find any answers here with Tu Hu.

He realized that Tu Hu had been telling him stories, constantly trying to convey something. Although the other person seemed natural, like a kind and knowledgeable elder sharing his vast experience with a young man... he still smelled trouble in the air.

He's got enough trouble on his plate already, and now he just wants to stay away from it.

The downfall of the Nine Palaces is related to Taoism. This news is certainly weighty, but not surprising.

Today's Daoist school remains the most powerful and influential school in the world. All practitioners acknowledge its status as the origin of cultivation practices.

It was once even synonymous with practice itself.

And the era in which the Nine Great Palaces were located was once called "The Nine Great Palaces Reign Supreme". What did they reign supreme over Who did they suppress

Not to mention the distinction between the Xian arts system and the Dao arts system.

>

How could there be no conflict between the two

Jiang Wang completely understood the logic behind it and found what Tu Hu said very credible.

But he had no ideas.

Could he possibly overthrow the Taoist sect

Even Jiang Mengxiong couldn't do it, and even the Son of Heaven couldn't possibly do it. How many brains does he have

"The era of the Nine Immortal Palaces is long gone," Jiang Wang carefully worded. "I have indeed learned some things that I find useful. However, I don't think it's very suitable for the present world. Matters concerning the path of cultivation... time will give the answers in the end. And on this path, I'm just a babe learning to speak..."

Tu Hu smiled and interrupted him: "I didn't ask you to avenge the Immortal Palace, why are you being so humble" Bao, the abbot of Minhe Temple, shifted his tone: "But you need to know this—you either give up your Immortal Palace lineage, or sooner or later, you will feel the pressure from the Taoist sect. They will see you as a thorn in their side, a splinter in their flesh, and they won't rest until they get rid of you!"

"Lord Tu, have you forgotten I've already felt the pressure from the Daoist sect."

"Is Jing Guo Dao Men" Tu Hu looked at him, the shadows around his eyes deep: "Marquis Wu'an, I have to say, your understanding of politics doesn't match your status."

"You're right, I am politically naive," Jiang Wang smiled nonchalantly. "But it can't be that the Taoist sect would want to eliminate me just because I learned Taoism, can it There's no such rule in the world."

“This world often makes no sense.” Tu Hu patted his hands. “I just wanted to remind you, that’s all…It’s getting late, I should go meditate. Thanks for visiting, it made for a relatively pleasant half day.”

The other party ended the conversation so easily, only skimming the surface of the matter of Daoism. This came as a bit of a surprise to Jiang Wang.

But unexpectedly, his pace didn't falter.

This has all gotten to talking about the pressure of Daoism. If we keep going, are we going to start talking about the contradictions between Jing Qi's two nations

Got up and took my leave quickly.

This time Tu Hu didn't send him because it was indeed the time for Jin Mian's sacrificial priest meditation.

Walking alone through the main courtyard, passing by the well-known clock tower, Jiang Wang couldn't help but glance at it again. However, he didn't see anything unusual. The carvings on the clock face were lifelike. The legendary divine envoy Minhal, riding a white bull backwards, pinching a seal in his hand, looked into the distance, as if he had also looked over. Jiang Wang shifted his gaze away.

After returning from the Grand Hall of the Worldly Affairs, Lord Jiang closed his doors and diligently adjusted his state. He cast aside all thoughts of Kunning Garden or the Nine Great Palaces, focusing entirely on preparations for war.

After all, tomorrow is the day he'll be testing his strength against Dou Zhao. He couldn't possibly be as casual as he was when facing off against Zhongli Yan.

Both spirit, energy and essence need to be in the most perfect state, not a single hidden injury should remain on your body.

Even several times entering the Void Illusory Realm, it only resulted in optimizations for Taoist techniques. Not a single sword-fighting battle on the Debate Platform was initiated.

Because he had fully entered the state of fighting Dou Zhao, he didn't want to be disturbed by other people's fighting styles anymore.

Every detail of Ruoshui's battle with Dou Zhao in the Shan Hai Realm, every fight Dou Zhao waged on the Guanhe Terrace, was replayed repeatedly by Ruo Shui.

This battle was called a test of skill, but for Yu Zhao who had made a pact with the gods long ago, it was also a verification of their own path.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

They are all peerless geniuses who are absolutely certain of themselves. They have clashed and cooperated in the Shan Hai Realm.

Both sides have regrets.

Now, crossing the gulf between heaven and humanity to look back, is it me Or is it not me

The Royal Court is ever bustling with activity and splendor.

Ambassadors from all the countries had their own agendas when socializing.

Ten thousand miles as a horizontal line, ten thousand years as a vertical one. The great figures sitting quietly before the chessboard, calmly weave different situations. And those who are in it, who can break free, who can make a move 5

In this city of ambition, where currents swirl like a hawk's wings in flight, perhaps only Jiang Wang and Dou Zhao remain the purest.

As envoys of powerful nations, both Jiang Wang and Dou Zhao represented mighty countries. While Jiang Wang had no assigned mission, Dou Zhao paid no heed to any given task.

But for World War I.

June 24th came quickly, like a fleeting melody.

That morning, Dou Zhao had someone deliver a handwritten letter.

Only nine words, the book says: "At noon, at Lang Dou Field, on Qingya Platform."

Just like the previous battle with Zhongli Yan, this one was fought in the exact same location, even using the same martial platform.

Besides the time and place of the duel, there wasn't a superfluous word.

But Dou Zhao's arrogance had already been fully displayed.

As a madman, why should I still speak wildly There are only nine words in the book:

At noon, Canglang Fighting Arena, Qingya Stage.

Just like the previous battle with Zhongli Yan, this one was held in the same location, even on the same martial platform.

Besides the time and place of the duel, there was not a single extra word.

But Dou Zhao's arrogance has already been fully revealed.

I, a madman, have no need to utter mad words any longer.

He wants to win back the victory for the Chu people where Jiang Wang defeated Zhong Liyan!

First, set a small goal, such as living in 1 house:a scholar's countenance, around fifty years of age, soared into the sky. He joined Gu Huai Xin in an effort to counter the tremors caused by Huai Dao!This is Xu Xiangwan, the third elder of Diaohailo...
