Chapter Eighty-Two: The Immeasurable Void of Time and Space

cademy, an untouchable presence in the hearts of many young disciples. Outside of Longmen Academy, her admirers were as numerous as the flowing river.Such young talents as Xu Xiangqian of Qingya Acade...Random Recommendations:

The river of Yue Guo's 1,592 years of history, rushes through the corridor of time and space.

Emperor Taizong of the Northern Song dynasty, Wen Zhong and his trusted advisor Feng Gaozheng stood respectively at the beginning and end of history.

>

They looked at each other across the vast expanse of Vietnamese history, their eyes meeting through time and silently transmitting the stories of the past.

The River of Time is so vast, but every drop of water represents the magnificent struggle of countless Yue people throughout their lives.

At this moment, Jiang Wang stood in the middle of the long and narrow corridor of time and space, with his back to the door.

>

The time of Yue Country, on the translucent ceiling of the corridor, flows like water.

The room behind him, from which the real man who had earlier gone out with the Germs' search party had emerged, now had its door tightly shut.

He sat in the room before him, Tianji Zhenren Ren Qiu Li, still on that chair with intersecting lines, facing him across a distance.

At his left was Yue Taizong Wenzhong, and at his right, the hidden official Gaozheng.

Against the wall and by the door were the same, for this was Jinghu Lake, a situation under another's control. Jiang Wang was wary of every corner here, trusting only his sword.

He is not facing enemies on three sides, he is facing enemies from all directions.

But it doesn't matter.

Having stepped into this quagmire of a country, he naturally had to face everything that came with it.

It is common to ponder this question: if our ancestors in heaven were to see us like this, what would they think

Now it seems like the answer is within reach.

Yet, even though Emperor Wen of Yue had died in the year 253 AD according to Daoli history, he was still reading about the history that followed his own life.

Regardless of whether it is Wen Zhong or Gao Zheng, no matter how remarkable they were in life, they are all dead people who have been brought back to life by the "Mirror River Heavenly Mechanism Array".

Their information perception also exists because of the "Mirror River of Time and Space Array".

Therefore, they actually don't know what happened to the country of Yue outside the formation, nor what is happening there now, after their deaths. Ren Qiu Li, who controls the formation, holds the window through which they observe the world, and is their only source of information.

Therefore, the author intentionally had Ren Qiu leave first and not speak, to avoid being misled by misinterpretations.

>

This shows that he does have a certain degree of freedom, and he doesn't trust Ren Qiu Li.

After appearing from the historical projection, in just a few short sentences, he formed a certain judgment about Ren Qiu Li. Perhaps these conversations gave him important information. Or perhaps, from the beginning, when he cooperated with Chang Sheng Jun that year, he had never trusted Nandou Dian.

Ren Qiu left used silence to let him relax his guard and give him time to communicate.

Jiang Wang also rejoices that Wen Zhong reads history.

After all, despite being true humans, Ru Zhun and Gao Zheng are still top-tier real people. Perhaps Ren Qiu Li's ability in head-on combat is slightly weaker—due to the limitations of her incomplete origin.

He has a 70% chance of defeating Ren Qiu-li in a one-on-one fight. Even if Wen Zhong and Gao Zheng could both display the peak combat power of a human at their best in a large formation, he is confident enough to face one of them.

Even with three top masters fighting together, he could only try his best. Wen Zhong, this master who had died over a thousand years ago, though a top expert in his time, might not be able to keep up with the times. Perhaps, along with Ren Qiu Li, they could become a breakthrough point in this battle, giving him a chance to survive.

But daring to fight hard is one thing, being prepared is another, and whether or not you can avoid a desperate struggle is a whole different matter.

The turmoil in Yue Guo that drew him into this situation only began after Gao Zheng's death. Perhaps Gao Zheng and Wen Zhong did not agree with this step, so under the circumstances where they had a certain degree of freedom, this might not have been dangerous.

After an unknown amount of time, which seemed like a mere instant, Wen Zhong raised his sleeve and bowed to Gao Zheng. “I failed my previous lord, lacking both wisdom and power. For a hundred years, I was unable to establish the kingdom and bring prosperity. It is because of my shortcomings that future generations have suffered, being forced into hardship and unable to display their talents. This is my fault! Gao Xiang, these past years have been difficult for you. Please accept my bow!”

>

A millennium passed since his death, and the state of Yue remained in turmoil, failing to achieve the new chapter he had hoped for. Yet, he held no resentment towards posterity, blaming only himself for not accomplishing more during his lifetime. The strong bear responsibility, while the weak shirk it.

Gao Zheng bowed deeply, his expression sincere: "Your Majesty Taizong, the founding of the Qian Tang Water Army and the establishment of the Great National Defense Array are all achievements for the ages, benefiting the country to this day. You have done everything possible in your position, it is the unworthy descendants who cannot maintain the prosperity of the empire. This bow, I am unworthy to receive. None in Yue State, from high to low, can bear such a burden!"

Wen Zhong died in the year 2531 of the Dao calendar, dying from Dao injuries.

Gao Zheng died in the year 3927 of the Daoli Calendar. He was killed by Luo Sha Mingyue, the mistress of the Sanfen Xiangqi Lou.

Their deaths were different, but at their root, they all died by the hand of the Chu state.

There are thirteen hundred and ninety-six years between these two points, high officials fully understand, and scholars fully grasp.

Regardless of how many thrilling events may have occurred in the past, they must see the essence—after all these years, the situation in Yue Country has not fundamentally changed.

> In the country of Yue, walls are like fences around a mountain. When they are used, they serve as a barrier; when they are destroyed, they are rebuilt. The owner of the house sometimes uses a stick to drive away wild animals that damage the fence, but he never feels much sorrow for the fence itself.

> To the State of Chu, Yue served as a screen, allowing its people to maintain a certain degree of civility and etiquette. Once this screen tried to become a high wall, fitted with spikes, posing a threat, it would be ruthlessly cut down by the State of Chu.

"From my perspective as an observer, both of you have reached the peak in your respective positions. Though I am a person of the mountains, unversed in worldly affairs, I hold great respect for you." Ren Qiu'li's voice spoke: "The state of Yue has arrived at this point due to the pressure exerted by the state of Chu. It is not the responsibility of any one of you."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

“But you also have a responsibility.” Gao Zheng suddenly turned around. The wall of the spacetime corridor became transparent, revealing Ren Qiu Li sitting in an armchair inside the room.

>

He also has some authority within this large formation!

That's right, whether it's the Jinghu or the Yue Guo Huoguo Great Array, those are things he's researched his whole life. Ren Qiu Li borrowing this to form an array couldn't possibly just enjoy the benefits without accepting the influences.

The nation's most illustrious figure throughout history, Yue Guo, gazed coldly at Tianji Zhenren: "You interfered with my game and acted out of selfish motives. You only care about your own goals, disregarding the original game and even the completeness of the board—what deal did you make with the emperor"

“She and the Seven Killers, Lu Shuanghe, will be joining Yue Guo. In exchange, Wen Jingxiu will cooperate with her, trapping me in this situation!” Jiang Wang looked at Gao Zheng who was unaware, of course, he actively informed the truth: “My betrothed to Lu Shuanghe is a sworn pact of life and death, as you know, Gao Zhenren. Ren Qiu-li is afraid that Lu Shuanghe will die at my hands, so she set this trap!”

Emperor Yue Taizong supported the ceremonial sword with one hand, his face expressionless, as he also looked at Ren Qiu'li.

Time flowed like a still river, the entire corridor of time and space seemed to sink under his gaze.

Ren Qiu Li still sat calmly, but spread her hands: "True Master Jiang hasn't embellished the truth. It is indeed as he said. But High Master, I only focus on my own goals, isn't that reasonable How Yue Guo fares, your situation, how complete the chessboard remains, should all be matters for you people of Yue Guo to consider. It's clear that the current Emperor of Yue Guo has considered these things and made a choice—this progress today is something we have jointly pushed forward; I haven't forced him."

“Gao Zhenren!” Jiang Wang said again, “When I visited you at Yinxiang Peak before, I already said that I couldn’t understand your chess, and didn’t want to. As a member of Tai Xu Ge, my position is very clear, I belong to no one side. My relationship with the Huai Kingdom Duke's Mansion is close, but I never interfere in Chu Kingdom affairs. However, Bai Yu Xia is the manager of my tavern, he was deceived back to Yue Country and thrown into death. I cannot ignore his safety. Today stepping into this situation is not my intention, being trapped in this formation is my innocence! I have no malice towards Yue Country, but Yue land has set me upon thorns. Today I have reached this point——”

He looked at Gao Zheng and then at Wen Zhong: "The two of you are the most outstanding figures in Yue history. Let's draw a line here! Today, we meet in this time, friend or foe, let the two of you decide with one word!"

With Gao Zheng's wisdom, he already knew completely what Wen Jingxiu had done after his death upon hearing this.

Bai Yu Xia was let go at his behest, but Wen Jing Xiu brought the person back. This alone deviated from his original intention. Not to mention the deal concerning Jiang Wang.

But he simply asked, "Master Jiang, is Ge Fei still alive"

Facing figures of intellect like Gao Zheng and Wen Zhong, Jiang Wang harbored no ulterior motives. He simply laid out the facts plainly: "When I arrived, Ge Fei had already fled. As for his current whereabouts, I am unaware. Wasn't Tianji Zhenren stating that this is now Daoli San Jiu San Bai and eight years Ten years have passed! Perhaps the world outside has undergone drastic changes."

“You told me the truth, and I should tell you one too.” Gao Zheng said slowly, “The passage of time only happens within the scope of this formation, only affecting Jinghu. Even if you spend ten or a hundred years here, the outside world remains unchanged, time flowing normally. When you came in, it was the year 3928 of Daoli, and when you leave, it will still be so. At most a few days later, it shouldn't reach the year 3929.”

Jiang Wang smiled: “Thus, one thing on my mind is settled. Jiang doesn't want to worry others.”

Ren Qiu-li didn't seem to care about the truth of time, and kindly added, "That's right, very few people in the world know you're missing. It was only Chu that, having a deep intelligence network in Yue, Huai Guo Gong could find us so quickly - the more I understand the situation between Chu and Yue, the more I realize how difficult it is to maneuver. Yue has truly come this far with great effort!"

Wen Zhong looked at Jiang Wang with interest: "Compared to the feelings of relatives and friends, you don't seem to care about the time you lost"

The time flowing within the "Mirror River of Time and Space Heavenly Mechanism Array" is wasted time.

Because this is not the real world, the Dao is far inferior to the real world. The Yuanli is also very limited and still under Ren Qiu's control, so he won't be given even a fraction of it. Having reached the level of a true person in the present world, here at most there is only the accumulation of experience, not any real progress in cultivation.

For a prodigious talent like Jiang Wang, whose cultivation progress is terrifyingly rapid, every day is precious.

If it were truly lost here for a hundred years, that would be a huge waste of life.

“Regret and sorrow are things that come after an enemy's death.” Jiang Wang still smiled. “I am not the invincible Dong Zhen like Xiang Fengqi, nor am I the real person Yu Beidou with unmatched computing power. It is only natural to lose some time when caught in Tianji’s scheme.”

“It’s not necessarily a regret to be left behind.” Gaozheng said casually, “The time you lost—killing the array master can recover it. The earlier you kill, the more you recover.”

The malice expressed in this sentence is almost unrestrained. Gao Zheng isn't Ren Qiu Li's pawn, he doesn't want to be someone's weapon. He even wants to cut off the hand that wields the sword.

And with that, Jiang Wang moved suddenly!

He held a sword in his hand, his body bathed in azure light. With just a thought, he smashed through the corridor and into the cell, standing before Ren Qiu's face. That seemingly insurmountable chasm of time and space was traversed in an instant.

From the start to now, he hasn't relaxed his observation of Jinghu and this formation for a single moment. The white flames burning on the corridor walls, fading and reappearing, each time they fall bring back new insights.

Both Wenzhong and Gaozheng have already demonstrated the authority they possess within this "Mirror River of Time and Space, Heavenly Mechanism Array." Both Wenzhong and Gaozheng have shown how to manipulate this array.

Now Jiang Wang could see it very clearly!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He advanced seven steps and retreated four, walking a complex zigzag path. His form was a sword, cutting through the distance. His footsteps were swords, cleaving through the large formations. Within Mirror Lake, everything seemed to be reflected ripples, except for this single sword named "True"!

It also truly struck Ren Qiu'li, drawing this Heavenly Machine True Person out from the other side of time and space with a single strike—

The armchair Ren Qiu-li was sitting on suddenly shot out millions of black lines at lightning speed, weaving in front of her and forming a black cocoon.

Longing echoed, just like a nail hammering into the cocoon, producing a metallic clash. The sound lingered, reverberating through time, causing waves to churn on the river of years.

The peerless blade of the world, renowned for its sharpness, couldn't even penetrate!

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Inside the cocoon, Ren Qiu Li's voice rang out: "Master Jiang! You said you would put your sword to my neck and ask me some questions... Why did you aim for my face with the first strike"

Jiang Wang didn't speak, but suddenly took a step forward—pushing with his hand, his sword against the cocoon, and the cocoon against the wall. The black cocoon remained unbroken, but the time-space wall was pushed inward visibly!

This is a display that even Jinghu itself finds difficult to bear.

Jiang Wang instantly sheathed his sword, then unsheathed it again. His speed was so fast that it seemed as if he hadn't moved at all, but nine swords had already been thrust out. These nine swords were of different natures, angles, and strengths, but none managed to pierce the black cocoon.

The whistling sword light poured down like a waterfall, bathing the cocoon. The sword light faded, and the black cocoon remained unscathed. However, from those faint sword marks, flames of three-colored Samadhi True Fire silently rose, flickering and leaping. In an instant, they engulfed the black cocoon, causing it to reflect wavering shadows in the darkness.

Wenzhong and Gaozheng both stood silently in the Time Corridor, looking particularly alienated. They had transformed from combatants into spectators.

Especially Emperor Taizong Wenzhong of the Yue Kingdom, had a rather serene demeanor, like he was both commenting and reminding: "This is the dark side of time and space, twisting threads into cocoons. It's hard to imagine a real person could achieve this on their own. The Immortal Changsheng left us Mirror Lake, indeed there are still some tricks hidden within."

Gao Zheng said: "With Chang Sheng Jun's personality, he wouldn't trust anyone. The fact that Jing Hu could tell Ren Qiu Li the secret of Mirror Lake only means that at that time, he had already planned to use Jing Hu for something——but the sudden siege of Du Er Feng by Chu State disrupted his plan. Nan Dou Zhu Sheng, Ren Qiu Li held the Chang Sheng Si Nan in her hand, she could weave through the world of mortals and the turbulent sea of suffering. All the historical figures that appeared before have been shattered and woven into time and space, called the threads of time constantly being born... This is also the reason why this time-space cocoon is unbreakable. Jiang Zhen Ren was not only fighting against Tian Ji Zhen Ren."

Samathavihara is powered by the accumulation of wisdom to deepen its damage.

When Wen Zhong and Gao Zheng uttered these words, the Sanmeier True Fire covering the time-space black cocoon erupted violently in an instant. Its flames blazed fiercely, causing this impregnable time-space black cocoon to crackle and pop!

The thread of the ever-shifting, yin side of time and space keeps weaving and breaking. The speed is so fast that there are hundreds or even thousands of echoes in an instant. Even if Tianji Zhenren has ample preparation and reserves of temporal energy, it can't withstand such consumption.

Within the black cocoon, Ren Qiu's voice remained calm: "I created the 'Mirror River of Time and Space Formation.' I reflected the history of Yue Guo. I called upon you—and yet you were able to move freely within the formation, achieving freedom of thought and thus freedom of body. You even peered into the intricacies of the great formation and countered me. If given a little more time, who knows who would ultimately control this formation Truly remarkable!"

She admired Wen Zhun and Gao Zheng, but also sighed: "But times have changed. It's hard to know what is true now compared to the past. This game... has just begun!"

As her voice faded, the colossal compass that had once appeared above the Yue Kingdom's Fuji City reappeared above the Time Corridor, swirling amidst the flowing time.

The bronze ladle of the compass, as if bearing ten thousand jun of mountains, struggled to delve into time and space, scooping gently—

The inscription reads: "By Heaven's Mandate, the Great Yue Emperor bestows!"
