“Then why can’t I be from another dynasty?”
Jiang Changsheng stared at the old monk and asked. There must be a reason why the old monk was hiding deep in the mountains, so he had no choice but to ask.
The old monk shook his head and said, “I believe in my intuition.”
Jiang Changsheng smiled and asked, “May I know your background, Great
Master? Why did you build a temple deep in the mountains?”
The old monk sighed and said, “Amitabha. This poor monk came from Tianhai and is hiding here because I have no choice. There are two reasons for me being here. First reason is that I want to avoid the pursuit of Tianhai. The second reason is that I want to borrow the might of the Dao Ancestor. This poor monk is afraid that going to a crowded place would easily attract trouble, so why don’t I hide in the mountains to recuperate and chant sutras for the demon beasts and evil spirits to eliminate their evilness?”
Tianhai?
Jiang Changsheng narrowed his eyes and asked, “Why are they pursuing you?”
“My sect obtained a supreme treasure and caused others to be jealous. However, without the support of a Grotto-Heaven realm expert, they were massacred and my sect was destroyed. Only I escaped,” the old monk said sadly.
He added, “If the Dao Ancestor is unwilling for me to stay in Great Jing, I am willing to leave. If the Dao Ancestor is willing to take me in, I am willing to offer my supreme treasure. However, such a supreme treasure will easily attract trouble for Great Jing.”
Jiang Changsheng asked with interest, “Can I see what kind of supreme treasure it is?”
The old monk immediately took out a pearl from his sleeve. It was the size of a baby’s fist and was dark green with a faint red glow. He introduced, “This is the Demon Gathering Pearl. It is formed by the demonic power of an ancient demon emperor. It can gather all the demons in the world for its own use.
However, once it is used, there will definitely be a strange phenomenon. Therefore, it is easy to be exposed. Even if you do not use the Demon Gathering
Pearl, it is easy to attract demons.”
Jiang Changsheng raised his hand and waved it through the air. He kept the Demon Gathering Pearl and used his divine sense to investigate.
In the face of Jiang Changsheng’s actions, the old monk did not panic. He was very calm.
Jiang Changsheng discovered that the pearl was indeed condensed from powerful demonic energy. It was extremely vast and there was a remnant soul of a demon beast hidden inside. It was currently in a deep sleep and its soul was extremely weak, making it difficult for it to wake up.
It was hard to imagine what kind of powerful demon could condense such a pearl.
“How powerful is the strongest expert who wants to obtain this Demon Gathering Pearl?”
Jiang Changsheng asked in his heart. He used expert instead of person, fearing that there would be demons and evil spirits that would want to snatch it.
[Requires 500,000 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]
As expected!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNot only was Tianhai competing, but there were also more powerful existences. The value of the strongest expert in Tianhai did not exceed 200,000 incense points.
Jiang Changsheng thought for a moment and decided to accept it. If he did not accept it, this pearl would definitely cause trouble for Great Jing. It was better to leave it in his hands. In the future, he might even be able to command demon beasts to fight.
He asked, “Will you leave Great Jing after you recover?”
The old monk immediately said, “It’s all up to the Dao Ancestor. If the Dao Ancestor want me to leave, I will leave. If the Dao Ancestor allows me to stay, I will stay.”
“Are you really willing to give me such a precious treasure?”
“This poor monk has been in Great Jing for a long time and has long observed the Dao Ancestor. You have been cultivating in seclusion all year round and have not harmed the people of Great Jing. You have even prayed for rain for the people of Great Jing. With your actions, you must not be a wicked person. You can even kill this poor monk and seize this pearl, but you did not do so. This poor monk is not greedy for the Demon Gathering Pearl. I just don’t want it to fall into the hands of evil people. If that expert from Tianhai obtains the Demon Gathering Pearl and gathers countless sea demons, the world will usher in a calamity.”
“Aren’t you afraid that I will do the same?”
“You care about the citizens of Great Jing. Based on this alone, you will not use the Demon Gathering Pearl recklessly. Once you use it, innocent citizens will definitely be devoured by demon beasts.”
The old monk faced Jiang Changsheng calmly without any fear or pleading.
Jiang Changsheng threw the Demon Gathering Pearl into the Giant Spirit Ring and said, “If you wish to stay in Great Jing, then stay. Remember, don’t harm the people here. If I discover you doing so, I can kill you no matter where you run to.”
Jiang Changsheng turned around and prepared to leave.
“Dao Ancestor, please wait!”
The old monk hastily stopped him. He turned around and saw the old monk walking behind the Buddha statue. After which, he brought two kittens to Jiang Changsheng.
“I heard that there are spirit snakes and spirit wolves in Longqi Temple. This is enough to prove that the Dao Ancestor has a benevolent heart for the equality of all living beings. Why don’t you take in these two little guys? Their talent is not simple. Ordinary demons will lose their minds when attracted by the Demon Gathering Pearl, but they don’t.”
The old monk said seriously. Jiang Changsheng’s gaze landed on the two kittens.
These two kittens looked no different from those in the countryside. One orange and one black. From their physique, they should be four to five months old.
Jiang Changsheng checked with his spiritual will. The two kittens were indeed not simple. There was already demonic power accumulating in their bodies. He immediately took them, turned around, and left. In two steps, he disappeared.
“If you wish to establish a sect in the Great Jing, I will not stop you, as long as you can benefit Great Jing. As a Universe realm expert, why do you have to stay in the deep mountains for a long time? If you are afraid of your enemies, you can go to the Si Province to establish a sect.”
Jiang Changsheng’s voice echoed in the small temple. The old monk did not smile when he heard that. Instead, he looked worried.
Before returning to the courtyard, Jiang Changsheng asked his avatar to return back to him before returning to the courtyard.
He put down the two kittens in his hands and said, “Bai Qi, you will be responsible for taking care of them from now on.”
Bai Qi, who was napping, suddenly sat up and looked around in confusion.
The Sword God’s gaze landed on the two kittens on the ground and he observed them carefully. He believed that Jiang Changsheng would not pick up ordinary wild cats, just like Bai Qi and White Dragon. They were both demon beasts with extraordinary talent.
Not all wild beasts could become demon beasts, and descendants of demon beasts were often easier to cultivate into demon beasts. Bai Qi’s eyes brightened when she saw the two kittens.
She was just worried about her boring days.
It had to be said that it was quite interesting to play a construction and farming game.
Just like that, two more little demon cats appeared in the courtyard.
A few days later, Jiang Changsheng gave them names. The little orange cat was called Huang Tian, and the little black cat was called Hei Tian. They were both males, and Huang Tian looked slightly larger.
Bai Qi teased them every day, making the courtyard livelier.
At the beginning of January in the 14th year of the Rende Era.
Jiang Jian and Ping’an killed their way into the imperial city of the Hongxuan Dynasty. Emperor Hongxuan was even smashed into meat paste by Ping’an’s hammer, and blood flowed like a river in the palace.
In February, the civil and military officials of the Hongxuan Dynasty surrendered one after another. Since then, the Hongxuan Dynasty had fallen. During the 207 years of the dynasty’s reign, there were a total of twelve emperors.
When the news spread to Great Jing, everyone cheered. Jiang Xiu and Jiang Jian’s reputation had also reached the extreme.
In the imperial study.
Jiang Xiu, who was about to turn 60 years old, slammed the table and left. His face was flushed with excitement. He waved his fist and shouted, “Good! Good! That’s great!”
He had been in power for 14 years and conquered one Luck Dynasty. And while doing so, Great Jing’s economy and livelihood did not collapse. Instead, it was thriving. This achievement could definitely leave a mark in history. Even if it was inferior to Jing Taizong, the difference would not be too great!
How many years had it been?
Jiang Xiu would often wake up from his dreams. He would always dream of the late emperor asking him when he could unify the continent.
“Hahaha
Jiang Xiu laughed unbridledly, showing his high spirits. However, as he laughed, he began to cough violently.
The White-robed Guards kneeling in front of the table hurriedly stood up to support him. However, his blood surged, causing his face to turn red. In the end, he spat out blood and fainted.
At night.
Jiang Changsheng sat on Jiang Xiu’s bed with a trace of pity in his eyes.
Jiang Xiu’s face was pale as he weakly said, “Grandfather, you don’t have to feel sad for me. I already knew this day would come. In fact, many years ago, my health was already failing. It was all thanks to your medicinal pills that I was able to live until I achieved such meritorious deeds… I have no regrets…”
He grabbed Jiang Changsheng’s hand and gritted his teeth. “Grandfather, I want to abolish the crown prince and let Tiansheng ascend the throne. Even though he is young, Chen Li will assist him… Grandfather, please allow me…”
He knew Jiang Changsheng’s taboo, and he did not wish for the Jiang Family to be in conflict with each other again. However, he had no choice.
Jiang Changsheng sighed and said, “Alright, everything is up to you.”
Jiang Xiu smiled and muttered, “If it were passed down to Tiansheng, perhaps
Great Jing would be stronger and not weaker…”
After the time for an incense stick to burn, Jiang Changsheng returned to Longqi Mountain. The grandfather and grandson did not have much to talk about, so he decided to leave time for Jiang Xiu and Jiang Tiansheng. When Bai Qi saw him, she hastily asked, “What happened to the Emperor?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJiang Changsheng sat down and said calmly, “His time is up.”
Bai Qi remained silent.
The Sword God was not surprised. Emperors of dynasties always had a short life. Furthermore, the Great Jing Emperor had many sons, so he was not afraid that no one would replace him.
However, he was curious about the next emperor. Was it the incompetent crown prince or the young prince who had inherited the Human King’s legacy?
On the other side.
Jiang Xiu summoned Jiang Tiansheng. The ten-year-old Jiang Tiansheng immediately went to Jiang Xiu’s bed and sobbed.
No matter how monstrous his wisdom was, he was still a child. It was hard for him to accept his father’s death.
Jiang Xiu patted his head and said, “Tiansheng, I will tell you something.
Remember, you must remember it well and pass it on to the next crown prince. This is the greatest secret of the Jiang Family and their greatest confidence. It cannot be broken…”
Jiang Tiansheng looked up and stared at Jiang Xiu with his red eyes.
Jiang Xiu began to explain.
As he listened, Jiang Tiansheng widened his eyes in shock.
That night, it was destined that many people would find it hard to fall asleep.
At the Crown Prince’s residence.
Jiang Tianjue was pacing back and forth anxiously in the lobby.
At that moment, a eunuch walked in quickly. Jiang Tianjue hastily asked,
“Where’s the imperial decree? Where’s the imperial decree?”
The eunuch said in a trembling voice, “There is no imperial decree… His Majesty met with the Twelfth Prince alone…”
Jiang Tianjue’s eyes immediately turned red and were filled with hatred.
At that moment, he felt as if the sky had collapsed.
Endless killing intent even surged in his heart.
He immediately walked out of the Crown Prince’s residence to look for trusted experts, but without exception, all of them rejected him. No one was willing to kill Jiang Tiansheng for him.
Late at night.
Jiang Tianjue walked alone on the street. He was in a daze. He knew that he had lost. He had lost terribly.
Endless hatred turned into unprecedented regret. He finally understood that he could not blame others. He only had himself to blame. He had been the crown prince for so many years, but he did not have his own team or trusted aides. If word got out, it would probably be a joke.
The more he thought about it, the more despair he felt.
Ultimately, he was disheartened and could only resign himself to fate..
