sn't,” Jiang Wang continued, analyzing. “Although the Yan Xiao's intellect fluctuates greatly, it is still intelligent and wouldn't be unaware of the principle of drawing profits from exhaustion. More...Jiang Wang stood still, quietly watching Ge Fei flee into the distance.
The surrounding murderous aura, exciting yet restrained.
It seems he's considering whether to really kill him off, leaving no time for suicide.
It seemed to be hesitating, whether it was worth risking exposure of its divine powers for the sake of a single rumor.
In short, he didn't move at all.
The figure of Ge Fei disappered quickly from sight. From Jiang Wang's body, however, leaped a figure in flowing green robes, identical to Jiang Wang but with an air of vitality and power, his cold eyes swept across the landscape before choosing a direction and soaring away with speed.
The Phantom of the Rouge Mirror!
Now Jiang Wang rarely uses the ability of the Hongzhuang Mirror, because at the level of battles he's currently experiencing, the illusionary forms created by the Hongzhuang Mirror are difficult to be effective.
No matter how lifelike this phantom is, it ultimately lacks true combat strength. A slight touch from the aftermath of a battle would reveal its true nature.
> Though it's quite useful in unmanned combat situations.
A paper tiger, while it cannot be pierced, is after all a tiger.
Jiang Wang purposely left a wisp of his consciousness on it, allowing it to fly further away after leaving the range of the Hong Zhuang Mirror, until its power was exhausted.
Of course, sending a phantom to hunt down Geyfei would be a more realistic choice, but it's also riskier.
Even if Ge Fei was terrified of death, he wouldn't be so afraid to fight back.
As soon as action is taken, Jiang Wang's strong facade will be pierced immediately. When the killer returns, Jiang Wang will be in a precarious position.
Instead, he went in the opposite direction, giving rise to many suspicions and leaving it uncertain what his intentions were—even Jiang Wang didn't know where this phantom form would fly off to.
I might break down at any random moment on the road, or maybe I'll fly really far...
In short, Jiang Wang had already stopped caring about so much.
After erasing his tracks, he collapsed headfirst.
Thump!
It plunged straight into the sea.

I'm so tired...
His body, severely wounded and exhausted from a long battle, could no longer hold on. Otherwise, given his usual habits, he would have never threatened Ge Fei with fear alone. If he still had any strength left, he would have tried to kill him first before anything else.
He retracted his breath and closed his five senses, relying only on the last vestiges of his stubborn will. He strained to form a hand seal, a dim light flowing through him before he knew nothing more.
Just having a grasp of the rudimentary workings of the newly acquired calamity seal, it’s impossible to use it in combat. At best, using it for concealment at this moment is merely making do...儘人事般努力。
Perhaps he would be eaten by just some random fish, perhaps the leatherback shark sensed something amiss, discovered a flaw, and came back to find him...
He did the best he could under the circumstances.
As for the unknown trials that lie ahead, all we can do is accept them and have no more strength to resist.
"Throughout the heavens and myriad realms, across a thousand ages, what can truly endure"
Countless romances, all gone with the wind. Those who thought they wouldn't forget, were eventually forgotten in the end.
"Since ancient times, there has been no dynasty that has lasted for ten thousand years. What is called a great will is only measured in millennia. And the inscription on a stone comes from several eras ago."
“The skeletal remains of three million years are carved into mountains, and the lives of seven trillion beings have eroded with time.”
"What is true immortality"
"I feel lonely."
“Born to die... Eternal loneliness.”
Jiang Wang heard some murmurs in the hazy, indistinct sounds.
Like a person, sighing about something.
...are such delicate emotions.
He seemed to have some feelings, but when he woke up, he had forgotten them all.
He woke up.
First of all, what you feel is your own body.
Although still weak, I have managed to regain some strength.
The Heavenly Mansion's physique was truly formidable, the five divine powers silently illuminating, even healing some of its wounds.
Of course, the most severe areas, such as those ravaged by the five decay qi and the three-fold true fire, are incredibly difficult to heal with the body's natural ability alone. Targeted healing is absolutely necessary.
After gaining a rough understanding, Jiang Wang opened his eyes, but his vision remained pitch black.

Of course, his visual perception would not be affected. He saw walls of crimson red, some black-brown patches and debris, along with turtle shells, fish bones, and some kinds of algae he couldn't name...
The crimson "wall" writhed.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Whoosh! A torrent of seawater, teeming with fish, shrimp, crabs, and clams, gushed in from a dark opening.
In a short while, the seawater receded, leaving behind fish, shrimp, crabs, and clams. They hopped and scurried about, eventually coming to a halt. They were visibly being eroded away at an alarming rate.
At this time, Jiang Wang's gradually awakening body began to feel a softness and movement.
Then there was a viscous touch.
He found himself enveloped in a thick, black liquid like mud. His Ruyi Xianyi was also dimming—if he remained unconscious for much longer, it might be damaged again.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
By this time, Jiang Wang naturally understood that he was in the belly of a great fish.
This should be considered good news because it means his trace has been covered up even more thoroughly.
Fortunately, this big fish doesn't have the habit of chewing and swallowing its food.
Jiang Wang jumped out of those black liquids and found a higher place to sit down again.
It's a little smelly here, but he doesn't intend to leave just yet. The most important thing right now is to recuperate and recover from his injuries. Here it's relatively safe, but once he goes out, there can be no room for error.
Being in the fish's belly, unaware of day and night.
>
Jiang Wang had no time to consider the time.
This rather powerful physical body, in the Shan Hai Realm, got battered and bruised constantly. He didn't become a skilled doctor because of his frequent injuries, after all, medicine is a deep and complex field that takes years to master. But as for repairing damaged flesh and bones, he'd gotten quite used to it.
>
Since entering the vast and perilous realm of mountains and seas, I've been beset by one misfortune after another. I can't decide whether it's due to the harsh environment or simply my own dreadful luck.

Jiang Wang wouldn't underestimate his own abilities. If he was finding it difficult, then others would definitely not find it easy either. Was this level of difficulty really within the normal range of exams
To be frank, even I am struggling here. In these nine hundred years, how many people from the State of Chu have managed to pass this test
I wonder if it's related to the appearance of the Nine Chapters Jade Tablet...
Just like that, lost in thought while meticulously repairing his wounds.
When his body had almost recovered, he drew his sword and rose.
All that is before me, fish and turtles are all dead, their shells half-rotted. Yesterday's appearance is not today's. Even in the belly of a sea fish, there is a change of times.
Jiang Wangben could have directly cut open the fish's belly, but he was still indebted to its offering. So, he waited a while. When the large fish took another bite, Jiang Wangben used water element to surround himself and burst out of its throat.

This is a big, clunky fish that relies on its size to dominate. But when faced with those monsters, it's just food.
At this moment, its bulging fish eyes turned, looking at the little thing in front of it, seemingly a bit puzzled.
Jiang Wang ignored him, summoned the Memory Grass, glanced at it for a moment, then rushed out to sea to look for Zuo Guangshu.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
The art of tracing can still sense traces of souls, indicating that Zuo Guangshu and the others haven't gone too far.
When they parted, Yue Tiannu's injuries hadn't healed yet, and Zuo Guangshu was still in a coma. They weren't really able to withstand the risks, and now... who knows how things are going…
Moreover, in order to prevent Wu Ling and the others from suspecting anything, he deliberately held onto their only piece of Ju Song Jade Bi. Without the jade bi, even Yue Tiannu and Zuo Guangshu wanted to leave, they couldn't take anything with them, their situation would be extremely embarrassing.
Keeping these in mind, he flew very fast.
>
After several days of being pursued and an unknown number of days in a coma, Jiang Wang has once again lost his direction and can only fly following the faint sense given by the secret art of remembrance.
In the distance, vast skies, blue seas, and green garments fluttering in the breeze.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Luckily, nothing else happened on the way. No grumpy monster came out to rob us.
About two hours later, the response from the meditation on secret arts was already very clear.
Three hours later, figures appeared in the field of vision.
Jiang Wang's rapidly flying figure suddenly stopped, coming to a halt in mid-air.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
In his eyes, the sky was clear and cloudless, and the sea breeze was free.
On the tranquil, azure sea surface, rested the gargantuan mechanical behemoth known as Moloch.
This is a placeholder for text.
It stood motionless, its serpentine head drooping slightly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In the palm of his left hand, Yue Tiannu was seated cross-legged, and in the palm of his right hand, Zuo Guangshu was also seated cross-legged, both eyes closed as if deeply engrossed. They were oblivious to Jiang Wang's arrival.
>
And all of Jiang Wang's attention was concentrated on the mechanism Moho-Roka, about ten meters away—
There was a man in wide robes, standing sideways to Mahoraga, sitting alone on the mirror-like sea. He held a very long fishing rod, the line hanging high, seemingly deep into the water.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The organ mo-hu luo-jia was on the right side of the person. Jiang Wang arrived at this time and stood on his left.
Qian Yang Chi Tong could see the person's profile clearly, with eyebrows and eyes distinct, and a well-defined outline...
Jiang Wang tightened his grip on the long sword.
How could he not remember this person
The last time we met was in Yongguo.
On an ordinary street in Wenxi County, two people had a very brief exchange.
Zhang Linchuan...
No, last time this person said he wasn't Zhang Linchuan.
But this person, is he really the same as last time
Is this Zhang Linchuan really the same one
Just as Jiang Wangyue was becoming increasingly agitated, the person turned their head and glanced at him.
It was just that one look, that calmed Jiang Wang down.
It was indeed the person I met in Wenxi County Town.
That kind of aloof and detached aura, left a very deep impression on Jiang Wang.
"I never expected it to be you," the person said, their voice still gentle.
It seems as though there is no hostility.
Jiang Wang looked at the two people being held in Mo Huoluo's grasped hands, then turned to him: "What's going on"
This person was holding a fishing rod, his posture unchanged. He simply said: “That woman had been tracking me before, so I casually left a mark. Not long ago, I sensed it, so I came over to take a look.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He spoke in a calm voice, describing something as simple as could be: “They didn’t have the Nine Chapters Jade Bi. I thought, wait a moment, maybe someone will come...and then you came.”
Jiang Wang raised an eyebrow: "Fishing"
"Who knows" the man said, "Maybe I'm the fish."
At this point, Jiang Wang recalled that Yue Tiannu had seemed to have discovered some clues earlier and had indeed tried to track them...
I couldn't help but ask, "Was it you who fought the Qilin"
This person calmly said: "It wasn't a fight, I was just being chased."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“I am deeply impressed and humbled by your accomplishment.” Jiang Wang said.
“But you still hold your sword,” the man said.
Jiang Wangdao: "Putting it down is easy, but picking it up again is difficult."
>
This person slightly raised their head and said, "You make sense."
Jiang Wang thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you remember what we talked about last time Can you tell me now, who are you"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Well, there's not much to say." The man said in a low voice. "He used to be called Wang Changji... now he goes by Wang Nianxiang."
Jiang Wang thought of Wang Changxiang almost immediately.
Thus, it naturally came to mind that the famous wastrel eldest son of the Wang family.
"You're Changxiang Senior Brother's older brother" Surprise was almost impossible to conceal in his voice.
Wang Changji did not answer immediately. After a moment's pause, he asked, "Are you very close to Changxiang"
"I wouldn't say we're very close, because Brother Changxiang is almost always out on missions. I rarely get to see him." Jiang Wang said casually: "But he's a really good person."
"Is that so..." Wang Changji looked back at the fishing line in front of him: "If you don't mind, could you tell me specifically"
Jiang Wang thought, perhaps the two brothers hadn't seen each other in a long time. He also wondered if they knew the truth about the destruction of Fenglin City
Wang Changji is now living under the guise of Zhang Linchuan, and no one knows what he has gone through. He seems to have ill intentions toward Zhang Linchuan as well; when they met in Yong Country before, it appeared that he was investigating Zhang Linchuan's Wu Sheng Jiao...
Could Wang Changji... possibly become an assistant
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Thinking about all this, Jiang Wang's hand left the hilt of her sword and fell into the sea.
“The first time I met Senior Brother Changxiang was in the Dao Xun Hall of Fenglin City Daoist Academy. I remember it very clearly, at that time I had just entered the inner sect and was still an unknown nobody. And Senior Brother Changxiang, after checking the Dao Xun, waited for me for a while, just to say hello to me...a very simple greeting.”
He recalled, saying: “His smile was very gentle, the kind of a very kind person.”
Wang Changji fell silent for a while.
"Is there more" he asked.
"We once participated together in the operation to investigate Xiaolin Town. Senior Brother Changxiang's Wind Traveling Technique was very powerful... He also performed well at the Three Cities Debate. However, because he could only release a Breath Dragon Cyclone in a short period of time, we all called him 'One Blow'."
“I seem to have missed a lot.” Wang Changji asked again, “Is there more”
Jiang Wang thought about it seriously and shook his head regretfully: "Brother Changxiang is too diligent, he takes on more tasks than anyone else and is always busy outside. We really don't have much chance to get in touch..."
Speaking of this, he tentatively asked, "He should be at the Qinghe County Academy right now, maybe even gone to the National Academy. Have you gone to see him"
“He also died in Fenglin City.” Wang Changji said calmly, “He came back to see me at the time.”
The sea was like a mirror, reflecting two people, one sitting and one standing, and a difficult silence.
"Words cannot express my condolences."
After a long silence, Jiang Wang finally reacted to a word—
"At that time".
He looked at Wang Changji's side profile and asked, "Were you present when Fenglin City was destroyed"
Wang Changji tightened his fishing rod and slowly said, "I am Bai Gu Daozi." Fragrance Tower" also caused him a momentary daze. He recalled the days when he had shared wine and laughter with Zhao Rucheng, Du Yexu, and others, recalling... that red figure.He could have easily...
