Chapter 157: Dragon Vein Demon Beast, Reincarnation of an Ancient Warrior

Translator: Henyee Translations      Editor: Henyee Translations

After encouraging the Sword God, Jiang Changsheng began to cultivate while waiting for the survival reward.

The Sword God was different from others. His fighting spirit was very pure.

Even in the face of acquaintances, it was very dangerous once his fighting

spirit was aroused.

He hoped that there would be a survival reward.

The Sword God walked to a corner and sat down before he began to consolidate his martial arts grotto-heaven.

After a while.

[In the 7th year of the Shuntian Era, the Sword God stepped into the Grotto-heaven realm and challenged you with his Sword Dao. You successfully survived his challenge and obtained a survival reward—Magical Treasure

‘Golden-scaled Jade Leaf’ x3.]

Golden-scaled Jade Leaf again!

At that point, Jiang Changsheng had accumulated 13 Golden-scaled Jade Leaves.

He wanted to see what kind of powerful magical weapon could be created if he gathered all the Golden-scaled Jade Leaves and fused it with the Golden Scale

Rod.

It should be stronger than the Sun Shooting Divine Bow, right?

Jiang Changsheng was secretly looking forward to it. He was not in a hurry to make the Golden-scaled Jade Leaves acknowledge him as its master. Instead, he just continued to cultivate.

Since the Sword God had broken through, he should give it his all.

The battle between the Sword God and the Dao Ancestor did not last long. However, when the people in the capital saw the sword shadows shatter and the battle stop, they understood who had won.

The battle did not cause much of a reaction. Instead, the news of the Sword God breaking through to the Grotto-heaven realm spread throughout the continent.

The ones who were most afraid were the Donghai Dynasty. Everyone knew that when Great Jing sent out troops again, the first one they would attack would be the Donghai Dynasty.

The Donghai Dynasty was currently looking for allies all over the continent, but no dynasty dared to form an alliance with them as it was none of their business.

Months passed.

November.

Within an estate in the capital.

Song Li was training in the yard when a martial artist hurried in and whispered into his ear.

Soon after, Song Li opened his eyes and frowned.

The martial artist nodded and said, “It’s absolutely true. The Limitless Sea Alliance has infiltrated Great Jing. Not only Great Jing, but there are also traces of the Limitless Seal in the other dynasties.”

He just came from the ocean. Before Song Li left the Thousand South Ocean

Sect, he wrote a letter to his disciples and trusted aides, asking them to leave the sect and rush to Great Jing.

After so many years, Song Li had relied on this group of students to accumulate strength, and he already had a considerable amount of influence in his hands.

Song Li narrowed his eyes and said, “Send someone to keep an eye on the True Dragon Temple and don’t expose yourself.”

“Yes!”

The martial artists immediately left.

Even though Song Li was loyal to Great Jing, he was also very interested in the Demon Gathering Pearl.

The Demon Gathering Pearl was priceless. Not to mention its strategic significance, just attracting an endless stream of demon beasts to hunt could accumulate a large amount of wealth in exchange for martial arts resources.

After hesitating for a moment, Song Li decided to get up and go to the palace to meet the Emperor.

Even if he had selfish desires, he still had to report this matter and pull himself closer to the Emperor.

On the other side.

In the imperial study.

Emperor Shuntian frowned. The Head of Punishment stood by his side, and no one could see through his mask.

“Right now, there are more and more vassal lords. If this continues, sooner or later, there will be no land to appoint.”

Emperor Shuntian worriedly said. Jiang Xiu had many brothers, and those descendants of the Jiang Family would also be conferred as officials when they grew up. Furthermore, he could not treat his brothers unfairly. Moreover, his brothers had also begun to give birth to children. In another twenty years, the number of children of the Jiang Family would definitely skyrocket.

The Head of Punishment did not interrupt and left it to him to think about it.

Emperor Shuntian’s eyes brightened. “I can have the vassal lords give their fiefs to their children in their respective jurisdictions. After generations, the fiefs controlled by the descendants of the vassal lords will only decrease. After all, there are only so many territories. The more people there are, the smaller the territory they control. When they make a mistake, I will give the order to take it back. This way, I can face the vassal lords and hand over the troublesome matters of the imperial family to the various vassal lords.”

The Head of Punishment said, “It is a must to think of ways to limit the vassal lords. Starting from Emperor Taizong, the military strength of those vassal lords is not weak. Some are even not weaker than a dynasty.”

Emperor Shuntian stood up and walked to the sand table to look down at the map.

“It’s time for me to make a move. As long as the dynasty is big enough, I don’t have to worry about not having enough land. I even look forward to having more children in the Jiang Family.”

Emperor Shuntian sneered as his gaze landed on the Donghai Dynasty.

The Donghai Dynasty and Great Jing had become mortal enemies. The only regret Emperor Renzong had before he passed away was that he could not break through the Donghai Dynasty.

Emperor Shuntian added, “This time, I will pincer the Donghai Dynasty with land and sea attacks so that they can feel the power of Shuntian!” His gaze landed on the eastern ocean with a burning gaze.

At that moment, a eunuch came in with Song Li.

Emperor Shuntian nodded and said, “That’s very kind of you. Coincidentally, I have an errand for you.”

Song Li asked, “What is it?”

“Within five years, I will have ten thousand warships. You will be responsible for supervising this matter. I will confer you the title of commander with a third-rank. Don’t disappoint me. If anything goes wrong, I will not let you off easily.”

Emperor Shuntian looked at Song Li and said meaningfully.

Song Li was pleasantly surprised. It seemed like he had made the right move. The details would determine success or failure.

He immediately accepted the order.

The next day, Emperor Shuntian conferred the title in the morning court. Many civil and military officials had objections, but they were forcefully suppressed by Emperor Shuntian.

Only then did the officials realize that the little emperor had grown up. He was not like Renzong, but more like Taizong.

On the ocean, a huge ship stood quietly without moving forward.

There was a man sitting on the roof of the ship. He was half-naked, and his bronze skin was covered with scars. It was a ghastly sight. He was surrounded by scorching flames that blew his long hair.

A martial artist walked over with a wet man and said, “Division Leader, this person claims to be from the Donghai Dynasty and is specially looking for our Limitless Sea Alliance.”

The wet man was originally terrified, but when he heard this, he immediately became excited. He hastily said, “I am an official of the Donghai Dynasty on the Dragon Vein Continent and am on good terms with Sect Master Tian Renfeng of the Thousand South Ocean Sect. Sect Master Tian Renfeng said that if they fail, the only one that can save the Donghai Dynasty is the Limitless Sea Alliance.”

The scarred man did not open his eyes or make a sound.

The official continued, “The letter she left behind told me a secret about the Dragon Vein Continent. She said that the Limitless Sea Alliance would definitely be interested in it. Rumor has it that the Limitless Sea Alliance is looking for the Demon Gathering Pearl, and the nine dragon veins of the Dragon Vein Continent are not only a source of luck, but also a type of seal. The nine dragon veins seal the most powerful demon beasts in this ocean area since ancient times. Their blood essence can allow ordinary demon beasts to transform into creatures more powerful than auspicious beasts. If the Limitless Sea Alliance can subdue them with the Demon Gathering Pearl, they can unify the four areas of the ocean and become the holy sect of luck.”

The scarred man opened his eyes and glanced at him. “Did Tian Renfeng really say that?”

The official of the Donghai Dynasty nodded vigorously.

“Where’s Tian Renfeng? Is she dead?”

“She died in the capital of Great Jing and was killed by the Dao Ancestor.” “Great Jing happens to have a dragon vein, right?”

“That’s right. Sect Master Renfeng might have gone for the seal of the Dragon

Vein.”

The scarred man looked to the west, deep in thought.

The official gritted his teeth and said, “If the Limitless Sea Alliance is willing to help the Donghai Dynasty unify the Dragon Vein Continent, the Donghai Dynasty is willing to pay tribute to the Limitless Sea Alliance and follow their lead.”

The scarred man did not answer.

After a while, the scarred man ordered, “Send him to the main island of the state of the ocean and hand him over to the state master for decision.

“Yes!”

The martial artists immediately picked up the official and left.

The scarred man rubbed his head and muttered to himself, “The Dao Ancestor could kill five Grotto-heaven experts, and one of them was even the Red Moon Ancestor who had just broken through. Even if he is not in the Three Grotto-heaven realm, he is still one of the best in the Two Grotto-heaven. He is not easy to deal with… Demon Gathering Pearl, Dragon Vein Demon Beasts… To think that the barbaric land has such luck. What kind of background does such an expert have…”

He had a headache and ordered, “Go to the Dragon Vein Continent!”

Let’s go and take a look first!

8th year of the Shuntian Era, May, sunny day.

Jiang Changsheng slowly opened his eyes and took a deep breath. He could sense that he was very close to breaking through, but he was inexplicably nervous. The heavenly might from his previous breakthrough surfaced in his mind again, making him somewhat apprehensive.

This time, his incense points far exceeded the previous time, so he should be able to survive.

Jiang Changsheng began to use the incense calculation to calculate the strongest expert on the Dragon Vein Continent other than him and the Sword God, as well as the nearby ocean area and the known range of the system.

Other than him, the strongest expert on the Dragon Vein Continent was worth 90,000 incense points and was infinitely close to the Grotto-heaven realm. He was probably from overseas. Over the years, many experts had come from overseas, causing the value of this position to constantly change. Even when it was at the lowest, it was still 30,000 incense points. Even so, battle strength below a million incense points was not a threat to him.

The strongest expert in the ocean where the Dragon Vein Continent was located had reached 1.1 million incense points, while the previous strongest expert was only worth hundreds of thousands of incense points. It seemed like an expert had returned.

The strongest expert in Tianhai was still worth 170,000 incense points, and there was not much change.

As for the strongest expert within the known range of the system, that was even more exaggerated. As the system’s detection range increased, it could refresh the ceiling combat strength almost every year.

Five million incense points!

It was an insane number. The strongest expert in the Ancient God Continent was still worth around 1.7 million incense points. Who knew where these experts with three million incense points were active?

Jiang Changsheng used various questions to detect his surroundings to ensure his safety.

Continue to cultivate!

Once he broke through, he would be the strongest within the known range of the system!

The next day at noon.

Yu Yanyi came to visit Jiang Changsheng. She would come a few times a year and was usually busy cultivating. Now that she had stepped into the True God realm, her lifespan had increased. With Jiang Changsheng’s encouragement, she was about to become a martial arts fanatic.

“The Fuyue Family has recently discovered some changes in the Chao Sects.” Yu

Yanyi frowned.

Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and listened to her.

Yu Yanyi said, “The Chao Sects began to join dynasties, and two of them joined Great Qi, merging with its luck.”

Jiang Changsheng asked curiously, “Why didn’t they join Great Jing?”

Yu Yanyi shook his head and said, “I’m not sure. Great Jing is powerful, but they might think that their status will be greatly reduced if they join. They already have Longqi Temple, the Fuyue Family, and the True Dragon Temple above them. Moreover, I have a feeling that they are not just working for the dynasty. They might be coveting the luck of the dynasty.”

Jiang Changsheng did not pay much attention to them. Even if the Chao Sects and the dynasties banded together, it was only to give him a survival reward.

He changed the topic and asked, “I heard that a genius was born in the Fuyue Family. Together with Zhou Jue of the True Dragon Temple, they are known as the Twin Prodigies of Great Jing?”

Yu Yanyi immediately said excitedly, “That’s right. She’s talented, and the elders in her family believe that she’s the reincarnation of an ancient martial artist. It’s the luck of Great Jing that led her talent to this world.. If you’re interested, can you accept her as your disciple?”
