Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“How did you know about the Martial World Competition? Did the God of Heaven and Earth of your world tell you?”
Instead of answering, Chen Li asked a question, and his gaze landed on the one-armed old man.
The one-armed old man snorted. “Of course.
Chen Li asked with a burning gaze, “Then do you know the realm of the God of Heaven and Earth of your world?”
The one-armed old man frowned. The others looked at each other, but none of them dared to answer.
The armored man stared at Chen Li as he weighed whether he should kill this fellow who was trying to mislead his people with lies.
“Above the Martial Emperor Realm is the Imminent Divine Realm, which is also called the Martial God Realm. Even a Martial God was easily suppressed by the Heavenly Court. There are only two Martial Emperors among you, and you are not even Great Marshal Di Chang’s opponent. How can you compete with the Heavenly Court?”
Chen Li’s tone suddenly became high-spirited. He then opened the mouth of the Purple Crystal Gourd, scaring everyone into retreating. At the same time, he drew his sword, and the sword light dazzled in the camp.
Chen Li smiled and said, “Don’t panic. I’m not here to fight you. You can take a look at him.”
He raised his hand and handed over the Purple Crystal Gourd. Everyone’s gaze landed on the Purple Crystal Gourd, but no one dared to step forward.
The one-armed old man immediately squeezed through the crowd and quickly walked to Chen Li. He took the Purple Crystal Gourd and looked down. Soon, his pupils constricted and he revealed an expression of disbelief.
The others were even more nervous, fearing that something would happen to him.
The one-armed old man took a deep breath and turned to look at the armored man. “General, come and take a look.”
When the armored man heard that, he immediately walked over and the others surrounded him.
The one-armed old man handed the Purple Crystal Gourd to the armored man. The armored man narrowed his eyes and looked at the mouth of the gourd. He discovered that there were surging flames inside and black mist would burn from time to time. As his realm was high and his eyesight was superhuman, he soon captured a figure that was smaller than sand. It was the black-robed man who had attacked the Heavenly Court previously. He was resisting the flames from all directions. He had endless techniques and his true qi was vast and boundless.
‘How is that possible…’
The armored man widened his eyes and his heart was in turmoil. He could sense the aura of the black-robed man and it made his heart palpitate. In other words, the other party was not an illusion but a real person who was really trapped in the gourd.
A general at the side snatched the Purple Crystal Gourd and looked at the mouth of the gourd. The one-armed old man was so shocked that he scolded, “Be gentle. Don’t let that guy out!”
Once an existence that surpassed the Martial Emperor Realm was released, it would definitely be a disaster!
Hearing his words, the others were even more shocked. Could it be that what this guy from the Heavenly Court said was true?
Chen Li smiled and said, “Don’t panic. His Majesty, the Celestial Emperor, has already cast a spell on it. Even if you try your best, you can’t let him out. He also can’t sense the outside world, so you can only see him.”
These words caused the armored man and the one-armed man to have wild thoughts about the Celestial Emperor.
The generals handed over the Purple Crystal Gourd one by one. Everyone who had seen the Purple Crystal Gourd was silent and revealed shocked expressions.
After everyone was done, Chen Li sucked the Purple Crystal Gourd through the air and into his palm.
Chen Li looked at them and said, “People will strive for higher places. Even if you are lucky enough to survive until the end, what about a thousand years later? The hope of longevity is slim in the Upper Realm. Join Heavenly Jing and fight for it. After a thousand years, you might be able to become a god. I forgot to tell you that the Emperor of Heavenly Jing is the son of the Celestial Emperor, who is also the future Celestial Emperor.”
With that said, Chen Li turned around and left.
Sounds of rapid and heavy breathing could be heard in the camp.
One of the martial artists asked, “General, is it true?”
The armored man took a deep breath and said, “His aura can’t be faked. Moreover, magnify his figure to the same size as us and think about the destructive power of his martial arts techniques…”
Everyone followed what he said and could not help but tremble.
“Furthermore, the existence of this gourd is absolutely beyond our imagination. This is definitely not the means of a martial artist…” The armored man said with worry, and his words caused everyone to be silent.
That’s right.
Before this, they had never thought that a gourd could trap an existence stronger than a Martial Emperor.
They recalled Chen Li’s previous words.
Could the God of Heaven and Earth of their world really only in the Imminent Divine Realm?
After returning to the Heavenly City, the Purple Crystal Gourd automatically flew away from Chen Li’s control and quickly disappeared into the sea of clouds. This made Chen Li sigh with emotion at the Dao Ancestor’s remarkable abilities. He immediately flew to Qi Yuan’s Celestial Master Palace and studied martial treasures together with Qi Yuan. The Purple Crystal Gourd did not only shock the people of the Scarlet Heaven Martial World, but it also made him yearn for it.
This small matter did not affect Jiang Changsheng’s cultivation.
His clone was still roaming the world with the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror. The two supreme treasures had reached an extremely powerful level, and any one of them could suppress the Great Wilderness Divine Lord. As Jiang Changsheng and the two supreme treasures became stronger, the speed at which they reflected everything in the world became faster and faster. When they scanned the entire Great
Wilderness, Jiang Changsheng would be able to take over the Great Wilderness Martial World.
Moreover, as long as Jiang Changsheng did not activate the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, Divine Lord Zi Huan would not discover it. Furthermore, the Martial World Competition was still going on.
On the other side, there were more and more souls in Hell, and the number of ghost servants had exceeded 200,000. Although the Martial World Competition did not affect Hell, Hell could still come into contact with the reincarnation cycle of other martial arts worlds, but the proportion was still very small.
Year 35 of the Dingtian Era.
At the Lingxiao Palace, Jiang Changsheng summoned the immortal gods. The
Four Saint Marshals, the Three Heavenly Lords, the Four Celestial Masters, the Heavenly Generals, the Earthly Fiend Generals, the 36 Star Lords, the Gods of Wind, Rain, Lightning, and so on all gathered here.
Ever since they were deified, this was the first time the Dao Ancestor had gathered the immortal gods in the Lingxiao Palace, so the immortal gods were all curious about the reason why they gathered.
For the past 35 years, they had relied on the luck of the Heavenly Court and the effect of the Investiture of the Gods to advance by leaps and bounds. Immortal gods below the Great Paragon Realm had all broken through. Before long, the number of Great Paragons and Martial Kings would soon usher in explosive increase.
Mu Lingluo sat beside Jiang Changsheng, and Yu Yanyi, who was one of the Star Lords in the hall, was filled with envy towards her.
Bai Qi crouched in front of Jiang Changsheng’s feet with an arrogant posture.
At that moment, a gust of black wind flew into the Lingxiao Palace. The immortal gods were shocked. However, seeing that the Dao Ancestor was indifferent, they did not dare to act rashly.
The black wind dissipated and the Head of Punishment appeared with five Yama Kings, alongside Jiang Che and Jiang Xuannian.
When Jiang Xuanzhen saw Jiang Xuannian, he widened his eyes and revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. Jiang Xuannian winked at him, indicating for him not to be excited.
“Greetings, Your Majesty Celestial Emperor! Greetings, Queen Mother!”
The Head of Punishment and the five Yama Kings bowed and spoke in unison.
Jiang Changsheng said, “I founded Hell and am in charge of the order of reincarnation. The Head of Punishment is the current Lord of Hell. In the future, the Heavenly Court and Hell can cooperate more. If Hell is in trouble, you can seek the help of the Heavenly Court. If the immortal gods of the Heavenly Court make mistakes or abuse their power, they will be sent into the reincarnation cycle and suffer the pain of a hundred reincarnations.”
As soon as he said that, the immortal gods widened their eyes and the way they looked at the Head of Punishment changed.
Yang Che and Chen Li looked at the Head of Punishment and Jiang Che and secretly sighed. The Dao Ancestor was indeed a sentimental person.
The meeting between the officials of Hell and the Heavenly Court meant that Jiang Changsheng’s plan for the three worlds was on track.
The Lingxiao Palace was soon filled with discussions. Jiang Changsheng did not stop them. After letting the officials of Heavenly Court familiarize themselves with the workings of Hell, he said, “After the Martial World
Competition, the Great Wilderness Martial World will be exposed to the Xuanhuang Great World, which is the Upper Realm, and the existence of the Heavenly Court will incur the fear of the Upper Realm. This is because the people of the Upper Realm are all powerful martial artists, and the establishment of the Heavenly Court will threaten them. A thousand years later, the Heavenly Court will usher in its first calamity, which will determine whether the Heavenly Court can establish itself in the Chiliocosm. Other than fulfilling your duties as an immortal god, you must work hard to cultivate.
Don’t let down my expectations.”
The immortal gods had long known about this, but they did not question it. They felt that it was reasonable. No matter where they were, it was a fight between power and benefits. If the Heavenly Court wanted to exercise their divine authority, they would inevitably encounter an endless stream of enemies.
An hour later, Jiang Changsheng disappeared from the Lingxiao Palace with Mu Lingluo and Bai Qi. Only then did the immortal gods surround the Head of Punishment and the others, curious about the situation in Hell.
Jiang Xuannian and Jiang Xuanzhen hugged each other excitedly. As they had the same source of luck, they were not separated by Yin and Yang and could hug each other.
Jiang Che came to Jiang Tianming and lamented, “You’ve grown up.”
Jiang Tianming was moved. He seemed to have thought of something as his emotions surged.
Within the Purple Cloud Palace.
Jiang Changsheng sat down, and Mu Lingluo asked curiously, “How powerful is the strongest expert in the Xuanhuang Great World?”
“Very strong. To be able to control three thousand worlds, his strength can only be understood by experiencing it.”
Jiang Changsheng answered. He took out the Purple Crystal Gourd and probed it with his spiritual will to condense a Dao Heart Clone.
In the surging flame space, the black-robed man was exhausted as he laid in the void, panting.
There was no gravity here. He was like a floating soul with numb eyes.
“Tell me your background. If you do, you will have a small chance of survival.’ A voice sounded and the black-robed man immediately sat up.
He looked at the Dao Heart Clone in horror and asked in a trembling voice, “C-Celestial Emperor? Dao Ancestor?”
After so many years of torture, he had developed a soul-deep fear of Jiang Changsheng. In the face of Jiang Changsheng, he could not resist at all.
The reason why Jiang Changsheng kept him for so long was because this guy did not trigger the survival reward.
This guy was not weak!
So why did he not trigger the survival reward?
Could it be that the other party did not want to be enemies with the Heavenly Court?
Thinking about it carefully, it made sense. Even though his tone was arrogant, he had deliberately teased and provoked Di Chang.
“Tell me the truth.”
The Dao Heart Clone said indifferently. The black-robed man immediately answered and revealed his background.
He was indeed from the Upper Realm. His name was Hei Hou, and he was in the Imminent Divine Realm. He was a human martial artist who had ascended from the Great Wilderness Martial World a long time ago. In the past, he had offended the Great Wilderness Divine Lord and was chased down by him. He narrowly escaped death and was lucky enough to escape. From then on, he hid and waited for the day of revenge. However, the Great Wilderness Divine Lord relied on the resources of the Great Wilderness Martial World and the power of the Divine Martial Realm to step into the Heavenly Origin Extreme Martial Realm before him, leaving him with no hope of revenge.
When he heard that the Great Wilderness Divine Lord had fallen, he went to the Lower Realm to see what had happened in the Great Wilderness Martial World. He did not expect to learn that the Great Wilderness Divine Lord had been killed by a powerful existence known as the Dao Ancestor. Therefore, he came to the Heavenly Court to test the Dao Ancestor.
When he fought against Di Chang, he was very disappointed. He felt that he had been tricked. How could someone with such strength kill the Great Wilderness Divine Lord? Therefore, he mocked him until Jiang Changsheng took action.
The Dao Heart Clone immediately used the Eye of the Great Dao’s Divine Power to read Hei Hou’s memories. After ensuring that he was not lying, he deactivated his Divine Power.
Hei Hou came back to his senses and did not realize what had happened. He continued, “Dao Ancestor, the Martial World Competition is an extraordinary event. Too many people have descended to the Lower Realm. Even I am relying on a senior to bring me down here.. For such experts, martial worlds should not attract their attention unless they are here for you…”
