Chapter 286: The Jiang Family Has Their Fate

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“In the past, I would not dare to imagine reaching the Grotto-heaven realm at the age of 100. However, after coming to the Great Wilderness and learning the Heaven-Deriving Martial Law created by the Sage, the speed of a martial artist’s breakthrough has indeed far exceeded the past. That King of the Northern Frontier is a vassal king. He can harvest countless ferocious beasts for practice without taking any risks. Coupled with his talent, he has been in the limelight in recent years.”

The Sword God sighed. As an old man who had experienced the era of the Dragon Vein Continent, every time he thought of the Dao Ancestor moving the continent, he would sigh with emotion.

Bai Qi looked at Ye Xun and teased, “Ye Xun, you seem to dislike the King of the Northern Frontier?”

Ye Xun snorted and did not reply.

The Sword God shook his head and said, “The King of the Northern Frontier raised many martial artists and ran rampant in the Great Wilderness. He often snatched the ferocious beasts that martial artists hunted with great difficulty. Due to his power, the martial artists of many sects had no choice but to suffer in silence, including those from the holy lands. Speaking of which… the King of the Northern Frontier inherited the might of the Dao Ancestor. To be precise, the children of the Jiang Family are regarded as being under the protection of the Dao Ancestor.”

After he said that, he looked at Jiang Changsheng to see his reaction. However,Jiang Changsheng’s expression was calm and he did not answer.

Golden Crow, Tai Wa, and Tai Xi did not interrupt. They were not interested in the King of the Northern Frontier, and White Dragon was sleeping soundly.

Ji Wujun began to look forward to it.

Knowing Jiang Changsheng’s real identity, she wanted to see how he would treat his descendants.

Soon, the King of the Northern Frontier came alone.

He wore a black robe with python patterns on it. He had a strong physique and a handsome appearance. He also wore a golden crown embedded with pearls and there was a Dao pattern birthmark between his eyebrows. He looked wise and mighty as he walked into the courtyard with majestic steps.

When he saw Golden Crow, White Dragon, and the Nagas in the courtyard, the

King of the Northern Frontier was stunned. He quickly walked to Jiang Changsheng and cupped his fists. “Jiang Jue greets the Dao Ancestor. I wish you a long life.”

Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and sized up this descendant.

Emperor Shuntian was ambitious and ruthless when he named his sons. They were named after the characters of ruthless, absolute, decisive, irreversible, and so on. He had aroused controversy because of this, but he had the domineering nature of Taizong, so he ignored the objections of his relatives and named his sons just like that.

Back then, due to Emperor Shuntian’s domineering attitude, the princes did not dare to be disloyal. The King of the Northern Frontier devoted himself to martial arts and even fought in the army. After that, he sat in the northern border, which continued until today.

The King of the Northern Frontier had a good relationship with Jiang Che, causing Jiang Qing and Jiang Liu to be close to him. That was also the reason why Jiang Liu wanted him to go to the Barren Province.

Jiang Changsheng said, “The last time I saw you, you were still very young and could even speak somewhat eloquently. Now, you have become one of the pillars of Great Jing. Time has passed really quickly.”

When he heard that the Dao Ancestor still remembered him, the King of the

Northern Frontier smiled and said, “I have always wanted to visit you, but Father was afraid that we would disturb you, so I did not dare to disturb you all these years.”

Jiang Changsheng nodded slightly. The King of the Northern Frontier was not shy. He began to tell about his experiences, and Ye Xun curled his lips in response.

The arrival of the King of the Northern Frontier caused Jiang Tianming to be unable to train in peace as he stared at him curiously.

The King of the Northern Frontier also noticed Jiang Tianming.

Three eyes?

Just like Jiang Jian!

Brother’s child…

The King of the Northern Frontier thought silently, but he was very talkative.

Jiang Changsheng listened attentively as he listened to him talk about the interesting things in the Northern Frontier, and a kind smile appeared on his face.

After a long time.

The King of the Northern Frontier was thirsty from talking. He took out six white jade bottles from his storage ring and placed them on the stone table. “This is a specialty of the Barren Province. It is a sweet syrup brewed from a ten-thousand-year-old wondrous fruit. Dao Ancestor, do you want to try it?”

Jiang Changsheng walked to the table and sat down. Seeing this, the King of the Northern Frontier hurriedly took out a cup and poured some sweet syrup for him. A fragrant smell spread throughout the courtyard. Jiang Tianming came to the table with a whoosh and Bai Qi also ran over. White Dragon immediately woke up.

Seeing that Jiang Tianming was about to grab something, Jiang Changsheng pulled him into his arms and pressed him down.

“Great-grandfather, I want to drink! I want to drink!”

Jiang Tianming called out. The King of the Northern Frontier’s right hand trembled when he heard this.

Bai Qi also came over with her tongue hanging by her mouth.

Jiang Changsheng took the sweet syrup and drank a cup. Then, he took the second cup for Bai Qi and asked the King of the Northern Frontier to pour another cup for everyone before giving it to Jiang Tianming.

Soon after, the King of the Northern Frontier sat down and sighed. “Dao Ancestor, I am here today for the sake of the dynasty. I am worried about the future of Great Jing!”

His words caused everyone in the courtyard to look at him differently.

As expected, he would not visit the Dao Ancestor for no reason.

Jiang Changsheng’s expression did not change and he did not respond.

The King of the Northern Frontier gritted his teeth and said, “Ever since the Emperor Mingzong gave up his position, the culture of Great Jing has begun to change. Even though the Emperor Zhaozong enjoyed life, he had also promoted the livelihood of the people. On the other hand, the current Emperor still has ambitions, but he is mediocre and not decisive enough. From what I can see, his children are also mediocre. The current Crown Prince even murdered his brother. The disappearance of the Seventh Prince, Jiang Ye, was caused by him. The Emperor was worried that this matter would spread and even helped the Crown Prince cover up this matter. It’s simply ridiculous!”

“Taizong once said that the Jiang Family should not be at odds with each other. However, the Emperor conspired against the rules set by Taizong and even covered up for the culprit. With his connivance, the Crown Prince would become a scourge sooner or later. Once that happens, the future of Great Jing is unimaginable!”

Everyone in the courtyard was surprised. Then, they carefully looked at Jiang Changsheng.

When Ye Xun and the Sword God returned, they also learned of Jiang

Changsheng’s true identity. After all, Jiang Tianming called him great-grandfather every day, so how could they not be puzzled? Therefore, Jiang Changsheng told them about this matter, which shocked them for a long time.

Wasn’t Taizong’s last wish the will of the Dao Ancestor?

Jiang Changsheng asked, “Then what do you think we should do?”

The King of the Northern Frontier took a deep breath and said, “Dao Ancestor, anyone who has the Taizong’s bloodline can obtain the throne…”

Ping—

The cup in Jiang Changsheng’s hand was suddenly crushed into bits and turned into dust, causing the King of the Northern Frontier’s heartbeat to stop.

Even though he had reached the One Grotto-heaven realm, he was not stupid enough to think that he could compare to the Dao Ancestor.

Jiang Changsheng stared at him and said, “Who says that anyone can obtain it?

Taizong? Renzong? Tianzong? Or the two emperors who founded the dynasty?”

The King of the Northern Frontier was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down. He pressed his forehead against the ground and broke out in cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and said, “Dao Ancestor, I am proud of Taizong. I want to become like Taizong. Since Taizong ordered that the Jiang Family cannot fight each other, I will obey it. Taizong hopes that Great Jing will continue to fight and unify the world. Now that the Dragon Vein Continent has been unified, what about the world? Great Jing should not stop in its tracks. The mindset of the recent emperors has gradually changed to enjoyment. This is not a good sign. In the long run, the dynasty will definitely be in turmoil. No matter how peaceful a period is, there will be all kinds of problems.”

Jiang Changsheng looked down at him and said, “It seems like Tianzong dotes on you so much that you know so much.”

The King of the Northern Frontier gritted his teeth and said, “No. Father remembered what Taizong said and only passed it on to the Crown Prince. However, he was afraid that the future emperors would suddenly die young and end this relationship. Therefore, he ordered someone to write down this secret and hide it in the depths of the state treasury. I only found it by chance.” Jiang Changsheng snorted and said, “You’re so filial that you didn’t use your father’s name.

“I dare not…

The King of the Northern Frontier immediately changed his tune.

Jiang Changsheng poured himself another cup of sweet syrup and did not say anything else. The King of the Northern Frontier held his breath and focused, maintaining his kneeling posture. Outside Longqi Mountain, the King of the

Northern Frontier was insufferably arrogant. Even Zhu Tianzhi of the Dragon Transformation Mansion had to give him face. However, in front of his ancestor, he was extremely nervous. He had never been so nervous in his life.

He knew that it was a risky move, but he had to test it.

The others remained silent, not daring to express their opinions.

Jiang Tianming broke the silence and said happily, “Delicious, delicious. I want to drink more. I want to drink it every day.”

Jiang Changsheng said, “Send more of this to your nephew in the future.”

“Alright!”

The King of the Northern Frontier hastily responded. At the same time, he was filled with envy for Jiang Tianming.

How lucky was this Jiang Family member that he was taken care of by their ancestor?

Jiang Changsheng looked at him and asked, “Do you think the position of emperor belongs to the capable?”

The King of the Northern Frontier answered, “Not absolutely, but when an incapable ruler appears, he should be replaced with someone capable.”

“Then are you capable? Using power to suppress people, is it your ability, or is it your ability to win over powerful officials, or is your ability your martial arts?”

Hearing this, the King of the Northern Frontier broke out in cold sweat.

The King of the Northern Frontier gritted his teeth and said, “I just want to become as strong as possible. Even though Jiang Jian is powerful, he does not involve himself in politics. The lifespan of an emperor is limited. If this continues, the Jiang Family will be surpassed or even left behind by other families sooner or later. Therefore, I want to become as strong as possible.

Even though I have plundered other people’s prey, I have not mistreated them. This is indeed my fault, but other than this, I am not at fault.”

Jiang Changsheng said, “Give up on your thoughts and don’t be greedy. This cannot be the beginning of such change. If I let you rebel against Jiang Liu, someone will rebel against your descendants in the future. Then, the Jiang Family’s atmosphere would be completely ruined.”

“Leave. Remember to bring sweet syrup to your nephew next year. He was born as a One Grotto-heaven realm expert. Do you know what this means?” The King of the Northern Frontier looked up at Jiang Tianming in disbelief.

Jiang Tianming smiled proudly and even snorted.

‘How is that possible…’

The King of the Northern Frontier thought in disbelief.

Jiang Changsheng said, “The Jiang Family has its own fate.”

The King of the Northern Frontier smiled bitterly and could only lower his head.

After a while, the King of the Northern Frontier left in a daze.

Ye Xun immediately felt comfortable and smiled. “Dao Ancestor, as expected, you were not deceived by him.”

Jiang Changsheng put Jiang Tianming down and said, “Even though I don’t go down the mountain, I can still see the world.”

He was dissatisfied with Jiang Liu, but that did not mean he was optimistic about the King of the Northern Frontier.

The matter of the throne was a small matter in his eyes. Only when the dynasty was in chaos, he would take action.

Supporting the King of the Northern Frontier might not necessarily lead to a better future.

The King of the Northern Frontier even dared to embezzle the wealth of the people in the Barren Province. When he became the Emperor, what would happen next?

When everyone heard his words, they felt deep veneration towards him.

The ability of an immortal was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Ji Wujun asked curiously, “What if the King of the Northern Frontier does not give up?”

Jiang Changsheng sat in front of the Earth Spirit Tree and said, “Then let him become the whetstone for the Emperor.”

Bai Qi asked, “What if the Emperor is incompetent and is tortured to death by him?”

“That will be his price, but it will also be the price of the King of the Northern Frontier.”

Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes and slowly said.

He was already biased toward the Jiang Family. He had given them many martial arts techniques and elixirs, but that did not mean he would indulge every member of the Jiang Family.

Jiang Changsheng did not think much of it.

Compared to these trivial matters, cultivation was more important!

The Demon Supreme, the imperial family of the Great Wilderness, the Outerworld Devil River, and the unknown myriad races.. There were more things for him to worry about in the future!
