Chapter Twenty-Two: To Serve as a Bulwark for You All

sigh inwardly.A trip to Cloud Country takes at least half a month. With the situation in Chongxuan Sheng still unsettled and matters in Yang Country in disarray, he is unable to leave at this time.I h...Wang Ao embodies a power that transcends time and space in the martial arts world, much like Emperor Mojun naturally dominates everything in the demon realm.

Throughout history, there has been no martial artist greater than him.

The future might exist, or it might not. Because he is still going higher.

He punched one after another, driving back those notorious foreign cultivators, leaving the martial arts world clear and serene.

Even they did not give Shan Tan and Mi Zhi Ben a chance to speak.

Don't fight back, and don't talk back.

>

But in a sense, the monkeys had also achieved their goal and had no regrets.

>

The merit of opening the way that could elevate and transcend was shattered by a punch from Wang Ao, flying between heaven and earth, returning to all the martial artists in the world.

The Eternal One, throughout history's martial arts, the first of its kind, has yet to be fully realized.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Demon Emperor, Wang Ao, whose imposing manner might cause him to exclaim "the aura of the Martial Ancestor," poses a greater threat than those who transcend martial arts through merit.

But the monkey knew from the beginning that the plan was only to stop Wang Chao from transcending.

Now that Wang Ao has given up himself, it's considered...stopping it, right

The changes in the growth of all things in the martial arts world are reflected in every corner of the present world. The will of martial artists throughout the land also affects the waves of the martial arts world.

At the peak of martial arts, Wang Ao stood alone.

On the opposite shore of the twenty-sixth heaven of martial arts, Wu Qin, Cao Yuxian, Ji Jinglu, and Shu Weiquan, four masters of martial arts, each stood on their peak.

They all already have the possibility to take a step forward.

At this moment, the four of them looked at each other, all eager to try.

Suddenly, a bolt of thunder roared across the sky and turned. "Wait!"

It was the lingering echo of a celestial being's thunderous voice, fallen from the heavens. Even with Heaven's power hidden and restrained, remnants still lingered.

Wu Qin and others all raised their heads, their eyes each expressing different emotions.

But only the sound of thunder shook, booming for ten thousand miles: "The martial arts path is open, the peak stands ready. All masters are just one step away, why rush in a moment Jiang Wang is a junior, but I have a heartfelt word to say, I wish to speak on your behalf—"

"Fellow seniors! May our ascent to the peak be complete and successful. I wish to serve as a support for you all!"

He is a celestial being, he should obstruct the path on behalf of heaven.

He is Jiang Wang, but they strive to achieve mutual success.

>

He challenged four martial arts masters!

By now, no one would consider this an imposition. The real person named Jiang Wang is already a renowned figure throughout the myriad realms, and he stands as an unavoidable peak in achieving this realm of truth!

The rumble of thunder echoed through the heavens, awakening more life in this martial arts world and bringing more spirituality.

Spring thunder roars, all things come into being.

Among the four martial arts masters, it was Ji Jinglu who spoke first: "On the path of martial arts, there are no seniors and juniors, only those who have achieved greatness are teachers! Since Jiang Tianren has such good intentions, how can I refuse In Tiansheng City, in front of the endless stone wall, the martial artist of the Ji clan, Ji Jinglu—I will wait for you here."

As he finished speaking, he tucked the iron fan away and turned to descend the mountain. With each step, his form grew more ethereal. Finally, carrying the peak of martial arts with him, he seemed like a painting imprinted on a scroll. The scroll was then lifted and disappeared into thin air.

"Sitting on a Stone to Seek the Dao," is an allusion recorded in ancient texts, telling the story of Emperor Fuxi's encounter with the diviner Bilian. It is said that after enduring hardships and searching for a long time, Emperor Fuxi finally found the diviner Bilian in a remote place called "Jie Wukong Hai" deep in the wilderness.

Bu Lian claimed to be a "diviner" rather than a shaman.

When the ancient emperor found him, the old man was sitting on a white stone, gazing at the sky. He did not move for a long time.

The Suiren clan member stayed by his side for forty-nine days without saying a word.

...Until Bu Lian finally moved his eyelids.

Then, the mythical figure Fuxi grasped the opportunity to ask him — Old man, why are you sitting here

Bu Lian said, we who follow the 'Dao' have waited for ten thousand years for its mercy!

Later generations used "sitting on a stone to seek the Way" to describe a steadfast heart seeking enlightenment.

The Jing Guoguo clan claimed descent from ancient emperors' consorts, but their bloodline was distant. They were only distantly related and forcefully established themselves as "the main family" through connections.

Ji Jinglu compares this battle to Emperor Ren seeing divination master Bu Lian, regarding this battle as a battle for seeking the Dao. This elevates Jiang Wang's status considerably and makes Ji Jinglu see himself in high regard as well.

Cao Yuxian looked thoughtfully at the painting scroll as it disappeared. Turning back, he merely smiled faintly: "Since True Person Jiang has left Heavenly Capital City, why not come to the North Border first The scenery of Jing State is unlike anywhere else, ever-changing and unpredictable, ten steps shift the landscape, a hundred miles apart in heaven. Come see the soaring yellow dragons and compare them with the Sound Shooting Mansion."

He brushed the dust off his sleeve and drew back his longbow.

The voice still echoes, but the person is gone.

The arrow pierces the sky, leaving a whistling sound.

Cao Yuqian, the martial arts master of Jing Nation, answers the challenge.

Shu Wei-Jun stood on the precipice, his white hair blowing in the wind.

His white hair was different from Lu Shuanghe's. Lu Shuanghe's white hair was as white as snow, cold and piercing. His white hair was a dry color, like the old calluses on his hands, the worn knuckles, the scars on his body. It was the wear and tear of a warrior over a long lifetime, a testament to the passage of time.

He looked at the lightning, his face showing little emotion: "To my recollection, Grandmaster Jiang has never visited Tianjue Peak before. Giant City has undergone many changes recently. Grandmaster Jiang might as well come and take a look. If you have any opinions, please feel free to share them."

Before the thunder could respond, he leapt directly into the sky and vanished beyond the horizon.

Mo Family martial arts master Shu Weijun, enters the battle!

On the stage, the four great masters of martial arts were reduced to Wu Qin alone.

Before today, the so-called "top three martial artists in the world" were all without a sect or a country, lone wolves like Wang Ao. He only had one disciple who remained in San Shan City of Zhuang Country. The rest were either pillars of their sects, national pillars, or even royal princes and noblemen.

In this grand feast of martial arts prowess rising across the land, the greatest beneficiary could only be the State of Wei.

And among the martial arts masters of the world, there was Wang Ao of the State of Wei, and Wu Qin of the State of Wei.

>

As the martial arts grandmaster who founded the era of military prowess in Wei, Wu Xun gained benefits in this martial arts opening second only to Wang Ao himself.

He was only a thin pane of glass away from the peak of martial arts, and even that pane was already torn. The window was just for show.

He doesn't need anyone to encourage him, he is always perfect.

But facing Jiang Wang's sudden challenge, he still stopped his steps that were about to reach the peak. A smile appeared on his face, and with a raised finger, a phantom image of a tiger talisman flew into the distance: "The ultimate truth of the cave, I also want to know, who is it! With this talisman, there is no obstacle in the army. Since Jiang Zhenren wants to examine Wu's martial arts, he might as well inspect my great Wei soldiers!"

>

Under the full entrustment of the emperor of Wei, he devoted his heart to training this group of soldiers for thirty years.

What could happen in thirty years

Emperor Jiangsushu ascended the throne and achieved dominance in just twenty-four years.

Jiang Wang was already a top expert in martial arts, and he was not yet thirty years old.

The sharpness of the Wei Wu army had not yet been fully demonstrated. Although they had clashed with the Xia army several times in history and had some disagreements with the Jing army, these encounters were inconsequential.

Now Wu Qin is willing to take it out for Jiang Wang to see. The current soldiers of Wei Wu are no longer afraid of being seen!

He wasn't letting Jiang Wang review it at all.

This is the era of martial arts flourishing, the dragon vein of the Wei state, with a resounding echo from the heavens. Let the most dazzling geniuses of this world witness it.

Wu Qin, the martial arts master of the State of Wei, answers the challenge!

The Taixu Jiangge members are the most valuable identities in the world today.

>

Jiang Tianren, who traced back the ancient and looked forward to the modern times, already had a definite path to the peak, with a visible possibility of transcendence.

After defeating Lü Shuānghé, Jiāng Wàng is still the strongest contender for the title of the number one Heavenly Human despite shedding his Heavenly Human state!

Now, floating on the Zantaixi River, Jiang Wang spoke up, saying he would help several martial arts masters hone their skills and prepare for the final step before reaching the pinnacle. No one questioned him.

In front of these martial arts masters who were about to take their final step, all identities were insignificant, but Chang Xiangsi's sharp edge truly existed.

In the world of martial arts, various forces come and go, with fortunes rising and falling.

If practitioners of Yin-Yang school cultivate their Qi, they should be able to see the Qi of martial arts throughout the world, like smoke rising from many places, a grand sight. They would also see the auspicious cloud of martial arts, drifting across the human world, the merit of martial arts shared by all. Vast expanse, steaming clouds and rainbows, what a magnificent spectacle!

Now, there are no more practitioners of Yin-Yang Dao. Or rather, the abilities once possessed by those who practiced Yin-Yang Dao have long been divided among the various schools.

What the Yin-Yang school passed down, there were two. One was in Chu State, causing a headache for whoever had it, and the other was sitting at the stern of a sampan boat, rocking gently on the River Zhai Tai'xi, overlooking the gloomy darkness below.

He took the opportunity of Heaven's Gate opening to personally participate in the changes of the martial world, which was more insightful than any form of divination.

Mi Zhi's painstaking efforts and scheming to obstruct heaven and earth have finally come to fruition. Heaven and earth are indeed taking action now, but not in the way Mi Zhi had intended.

>

Since Marquis Huai bestowed upon him a state of being sealed from the heavens, he has been searching for another path to ascend.

Today, Mi Zhiben was forcefully called by the Heavenly Mandate, which once again made him ponder about the Way of Heaven.

This celestial being, by attacking the "martial arts master on the verge of reaching the peak," and single-handedly defeating four opponents, isn't this the greatest "respect" shown to Heaven's Mandate

Although the timing of this action is a bit late, the attitude is definitely commendable and worthy of praise!

Knowing this, Mi Zhiben took the name "Deceive Heaven" and he was also looking for ways to "Deceive Heaven."

Rather than understanding the Heavenly Dao, he is actually understanding the essence of the monkey!

At this moment, the Tai Xu Gouyu gently flickered.

Jiang Wang held it up and saw that it was a reply from Qin Zhizhen. It had arrived very slowly at this time, concise and full of indignation—

“You are so naive!”

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

Elder Jiang was taken aback for a moment, pondered for a little while, and then remembered the origin of this reply. Suddenly, he felt rather good.

He casually tore open a few scattered letters, replying with some content related to cultivation. He also took the time to reply to Qin Guangwang —

"What's wrong I was too busy before and didn't notice the message."

After waiting for a while, Qin Guang Wang did not reply, so he withdrew his focus.

The air in the Shantaxi River was eerily silent. Above, strange and numerous stalactites hung like grotesque statues of demons.

>

Jiang Wang looked towards the front of the boat, watching Ye Qingyu and Jiang An'an who had taken up their fighting stances. He couldn't help but want to point out how inadequate their fighting postures were. But he held back. He then scolded, "Stupid gray, get down! You haven't inherited any of the talent for battle. You clumsy dog!"

Chump's gray eyes blinked, wisely avoiding a rebuttal.

Master Jiang then smiled and said to Qingyu and her younger sister, "The Shantaixi River is dark and gloomy with nothing to see. Why don't I take you to the capital city of Tianjing to watch a big play"

As always, Jiang Annan, who loves to stir up trouble, suddenly tightened her clothes and looked nervously at her brother with a sly expression. “Brother, are you going to fight someone again”

Jiang Wang, Tianjin City, Grand Theatre.

These words strung together are really creepy!

If the people of Tianjing heard this, I'm afraid few would be able to sleep soundly.

Last time Jiang Wang went to Tianjing City, he was shocked by the news of the world. The turmoil has not subsided until now. This time, with the most genuine cultivation of this era, going to Tianjing City again, how much commotion will it cause

On the contrary, Ye Qingyu smiled softly and with a flick of her hand, she put all those puppets away: "Good."

She wasn't worried at all. The reason was simple—if Jiang Wang really went to Tianjing City to cause trouble, he would never bring Jiang An'an along. Nor would he bring her.

"It was a fight, but not the kind you're thinking of," Jiang Wang looked at his sister, a mixture of amusement and exasperation on his face. "How come, in your eyes, your elder brother is such a troublemaker"

Jiang An'an relaxed a lot, her jaw dropping as she said, "What a scary old man Jiang is now! He's about to fight, and he still says he doesn't like to cause trouble!"

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

This nickname "Ginger Old Heaven" was invented by her after learning about her older brother's achievement of becoming a celestial being. Heaven is now the surname Jiang!

Jiang An'an hugged Ye Qingyu with her backhand: "Sister Qingyu, wherever you go, I go!"

Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "I still want to go back and do the accounting. I always feel uneasy until things are finished."

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

Jiang An'an tiptoed and covered her mouth: "But you want to go play in Zhongyu more!"

It's a pity, she always knew about the prosperity of Zhongyu and its beautiful scenery. But because her brother had a strained relationship with Jingguo, she, Jiang Shaoxia, had never been there. The delicacies of Zhongyu were all brought to her by others, but she had never experienced the joy of waiting by the stove and enjoying freshly cooked meals.

Now that her older brother is leading the team to Jing Guo for a trip, what reason does she, Jiang An'an, have not to go What good is it to be sentimental like "the water of the Tai Xi River" if she has already cast those thoughts aside.

Jiang Wang just smiled and raised his foot.

From his eyes flew countless beams of light, finally weaving into a vessel of perception that appeared white. It carried Qing Yu An An and Chun Hui, flying outward.

"Hey, my boat!" Although Jiang An'an was well-raised and never lacked anything, her childhood experiences of upheaval still made her not extravagant and unwilling to just leave the rain boat here.

“Forget it, I'm in a hurry. I'll buy you a better one later—”

"What are you giving away! It's worth a lot of money!"

Here's the translation:> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"It's sunk!"

Jiang Wang's voice fell, but the Zhiwenzhou had already sped away like lightning, leaving the Wuyantou Mountains behind and hurtling towards the distant sky.

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

Without the one at the helm, there was no opposition between Dao Yuan and the water of the Dark River. Although Jiang Anan's boat was extraordinary, it couldn't withstand even three breaths before sinking without a doubt.

The imported Dark River has vanished, an endless surface, calm and undisturbed.

Everything was very peaceful.

It seems that no ship has ever come here, nor has anyone ever visited to admire the view.

>Until the last echo fades away.

Gurgling, gurgling... Where the sunken ship lay, bubbles rose to the surface, like a large fish breathing, yet there was no sign of any fish.

After swelling for a moment, the bubble began to sink. It seemed like a bottomless vortex had appeared where it was, sucking in the surrounding water. Or perhaps...a pair of deep, fathomless eyes gazing silently at the heavens.
