Chapter 108: Isn’t the Blizzard Too Much?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Jiang Changsheng kept the Golden-scaled Jade Leaf into his Giant Spirit Ring. When he looked at Bai Qi, she was so frightened that she trembled in place.
She hastily came over and begged, “Daoist Master, this servant is too tired. I will sweep it tomorrow.”
It would snow as much as she swept away. The villainous heavens seemed to be opposing her.
Jiang Changsheng nodded slightly, and Bai Qi felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. She eagerly went to the medicinal cauldron and laid down. There was still charcoal burning under the cauldron, enough for her to keep warm.
Jiang Changsheng turned to look at the capital.
The snow was exceptionally heavy, heavier than in previous years. Something was amiss.
He had a feeling that something was about to happen.
In the 39th year of the Qianwu Era, the snow continued to fall even after spring came. It was said that there were snowstorms in more than 30 of the 49 states.
In the imperial study.
As Jiang Ziyu warmed himself by the fire, he asked, “What’s going on? Why is the snow so heavy? Now that Great Jing is prosperous, it shouldn’t be like this.”
Han Tianji sat opposite him, and his hands were also warming by the fire. He frowned and said, “I have observed that the luck of Great Jing is still rising. The problem is not with Great Jing, but with the world.” “Oh? What do you mean?”
“Perhaps it’s not only snowing in Great Jing.”
Hearing this, Jiang Ziyu frowned.
At that moment, a White-robed Guard entered the room and presented a secret Ipttpr
Jiang Ziyu took it and opened it. Immediately, he beamed with joy and cheered.
Han Tianji curiously asked, “What made Your Majesty so happy?
Jiang Ziyu handed the letter to Han Tianji and looked at the White-robed
Guards. “Go to the Treasure Palace and retrieve a box of Underground Flame Jade to send to Longqi Temple for the Dao Ancestor.”
The White-robed Guard accepted the order and left.
Han Tianji’s right hand trembled as he sighed. “It’s that golden light again. It can kill someone at the Golden Body realm from 80,000 miles away. The Dao Ancestor’s methods are unimaginable. This battle has basically confirmed the defeat of Great Wilderness. It’s only a matter of time before we annex it.” Jiang Ziyu smiled and said, “I hope the snow passes as soon as possible.” Their laughter echoed in the imperial study.
However, the snow did not fulfill Jiang Ziyu’s wish. More and more citizens in the capital fell sick, and even the Crown Prince, Jiang Xiu, fell sick.
Early in the morning.
Jiang Changsheng came to Jiang Xiu’s bedroom to treat his injuries. Jiang Ziyu and the Empress stood at the side and watched nervously.
“It’s just the cold. He’ll be fine after recuperating.”
Jiang Changsheng’s words allowed Jiang Ziyu and the Empress to breathe a sigh of relief.
Jiang Ziyu gave the Empress a look, and she immediately retreated with the palace maids. After the door was closed, Jiang Ziyu stepped forward and whispered, “Father, can you use some Divine Power to dispel the blizzard for Great Jing?”
Jiang Changsheng turned to look at him with a surprised expression.
How the f*ck did you dare to make any request?
Why don’t you ask me to grab the moon for you?
Jiang Ziyu felt guilty under his gaze and carefully asked, “Was it too much?”
Jiang Changsheng snapped, “Don’t you think it’s not too much?”
Jiang Ziyu smiled awkwardly and coughed. “I don’t know how long this cold disaster will last. I hope the people can survive.”
Jiang Changsheng stopped and said, “Since it’s fate, let nature take its course.” With that said, he disappeared without opening the window or the door. Jiang
Ziyu was amazed.
Amazing.
‘Father is so powerful, but I am so incompetent.’
Jiang Ziyu’s heart ached, but his mood improved when he thought of Jiang Jian. At least that kid had inherited Jiang Changsheng’s bloodline.
On the other side.
When Jiang Changsheng appeared under the tree, he sat down and asked in his heart.
“I would like to know the cause of this snow disaster?”
[90,000 incense points will be consumed. Do you wish to continue?]
What!
So expensive?
Could it be that the price was raised by the number one martial artist on the continent?
Jiang Changsheng frowned. However, from the looks of it, the heavy snow was not aimed at Great Jing. He had heard from the devotees that there was also a snow disaster in other dynasties.
It was not until May that the snow finally stopped. Sunlight sprinkled on the 49 states, and the spring snow began to melt. Summer was about to arrive.
The snowstorm that lasted for more than half a year had brought immeasurable losses to Great Jing. Countless citizens had died in various states, and most of the crops had been destroyed. Even many official roads had been blocked. It was said that the same was true for the land of the East Forest. Therefore, Jiang Ziyu had no choice but to order the front line to defend.
He was afraid that the army would enter the depths of Great Wilderness alone. Once that happened, the logistics army would not be able to keep up and would be easily besieged. Moreover, Ping’an was severely injured and needed time to recuperate.
Ping’an was on his way back. Jiang Ziyu ordered the True God, Emperor Yang Zhao, to guard the front line.
Not only Great Jing, but all the dynasties had also suffered heavy losses and were thinking of ways to recover.
On the other hand, there were more and more devotees in Longqi Temple. After experiencing such a snow disaster, the commoners thought that the heavens were angry, so they specially came to burn incense and beg for forgiveness. In addition, there was an immortal in Longqi Temple so perhaps they could obtain his blessings.
Jiang Changsheng did not have to worry about the dynasty. It was good that Longqi Temple was not in any serious trouble. The days in the courtyard continued as usual.
On this day.
Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and his expression became intriguing.
At the same time, at the west gate of the capital.
There was a sea of people as they queued up to enter the city. A scholar with a bag on his back followed behind an old man. He had a fair appearance and a dignified appearance. As he walked, he looked around.
“Master, the capital is indeed different. It’s too imposing. Just these city walls alone, no other city in the Wei Prefecture can compare to it.”
The scholar lamented. The old man in front of him was wearing a green robe with his white hair tied up behind his head. He held a sword in his right hand.
The green-robed old man answered, “The capital of Great Jing is indeed extraordinary.”
He looked at Longqi Mountain and Martial Peak in the distance with a cold expression.
After an hour, the master and disciple finally entered the city.
The scholar was extremely excited and asked, “Master, should we find a place to stay first, or should we go straight to Longqi Temple?”
The green-robed old man said, “It’s still early. Let’s buy some food first before going to Longqi Temple.”
“Alright, alright. I wonder if I can witness the Dao Ancestor’s elegance.”
As they chatted, they came to a steamed bun shop and bought two baskets of steamed buns. As they ate, they walked towards Longqi Temple.
The scholar’s cheeks were stuffed as he curiously asked, “Master, you haven’t told me why you want to go to Longqi Temple?”
The two of them had only known each other for three months. In a mountain covered with snow, the scholar nearly froze to death. He had always felt that he was very lucky to have met the old man in green robes and avoided a calamity. Later on, he unintentionally discovered that the old man in green robes was very skilled in martial arts, so he pestered him to acknowledge him as his disciple. After coaxing and pestering, he finally succeeded.
“Don’t tell me you want to challenge the Dao Ancestor? I heard that only True Gods are qualified to challenge the Dao Ancestor.”
The scholar chatted on, not giving the old man a chance to reply.
The green-robed old man was used to his chatter, so he was not angry.
The two of them went all the way to the northern city gate. After they left the city, they went straight to Martial Peak. Right now, the northern city gate had become the exclusive passage of Martial Peak. Merchants and commoners were not allowed to enter the city from the northern city gate unless they came down from Longqi Temple.
When they stepped onto the steps of Martial Peak, the mountain was still covered with white snow that had yet to melt. The mountain path was filled with people. The scholar looked up, but he could not see the end.
“As expected of the Holy Land of Great Jing. How generous!”
The scholar praised. As he spoke, he ate another steamed bun.
Time passed as the master and disciple followed the long line of visitors up the mountain.
Four hours later, the two of them finally ascended the mountain.
The scholar took a deep breath and said, “Master, why don’t we stay at Longqi
Temple tonight? I have enough money.”
His family was well-off. Even though he had been robbed once on the way here, he had hidden some banknotes under his boots.
The green-robed old man ignored the scholar’s words. He took out a secret book and threw it to the scholar. Then, ignoring his shocked expression, he took two steps forward and stood in front of the mountain gate. He shouted, “I am Qingsong Zi of the Sword Sect. I have traveled tens of thousands of miles to challenge the Dao Ancestor. I am willing to enter the Hero’s Tomb after my death l”
The scholar was stunned when he heard that.
He had thought that the old man in the green robe might come and challenge the Dao Ancestor, but he felt that it was unrealistic. Not everyone had the qualifications to challenge the Dao Ancestor.
The green-robed old man’s shout resounded between the two mountains, causing everyone to look at him. From his aura, it was evident that he was not an ordinary martial artist.
Sword Sect?
Qingsong Zi?
The scholar had never heard of these two names, but he felt that they were very powerful.
A large number of disciples poured out of Longqi Temple. Many disciples even leaped to the eaves, displaying the elegance of a holy land of martial arts.
Ling Xiao walked out from the crowd of disciples and sized up Qingsongzi. “If you are a True God, step forward. If you are not a True God, you may leave.”
Qingsongzi calmly said, “I am a True God, and I will not disgrace the reputation of the Hero’s Tomb.’
As soon as he said that, the devotees discussed among themselves and the scholar became excited.
He was indeed a True God!
The scholar’s smile suddenly froze. Only then did he realize that his master was asking for death!
Almost all the experts in the martial arts world who dared to challenge the Dao Ancestor were about to reach the end of their lifespan. They wanted to leave behind their reputation before they died, and the Hero’s Tomb was the best place for that. Countless peerless experts had been buried in the Hero’s Tomb. After dozens of years, the name of the Hero’s Tomb had spread throughout the world, becoming the home that many martial artists yearned for.
The scholar hastily stepped forward and dissuaded him. “Master, why do you have to take things so far?”
Qingsong Zi expressionlessly said, “This is why I am here. I don’t have many years left to live. You may leave now, lest I hurt you.”
Just as Ling Xiao was hesitating about whether he should invite Jiang Changsheng, cries of surprise sounded from the crowd. A person flew over from the direction of Longqi Mountain. It was Jiang Changsheng who had arrived on a cloud.
What an act of an immortal!
The scholar was stunned, and so were many visitors who had seen the Dao Ancestor for the first time.
Jiang Changsheng stopped in the air and said, “Come up and fight so that you won’t hurt others.”
Qingsong Zi stepped into the air, displaying the elegance of a True God as he ascended to the sky.
Jiang Changsheng glanced at the scholar and coincidentally met his gaze.
The scholar’s heartbeat sped up. What did he see?
The Dao Ancestor was smiling at him?
Was it an illusion?
The scholar subconsciously looked behind him. When he turned back, Jiang
Changsheng and Oingsong Zi had already flown into the sky and were looking at each other under everyone’s gaze.
Qingsong Zi drew his sword, and the light of the sword flickered between the two mountains. He stared at Jiang Changsheng and said, “The Dao Ancestor is really elegant. I am ashamed of my inferiority, but in today’s battle, I will display the ultimate technique of the Sword Sect and see how many moves I can last against you.”
Jiang Changsheng chuckled and said, “Since my old friend is watching, I won’t show any mercy. Show me vour strongest ultimate technique..”
