Chapter 149: Auspicious Blessings and Tranquil Prosperity
f him aside: “Come on, accompany me to the Marquis of Bo望’s Mansion!”When Jiang Wang finished his movements, he didn't ask why, and just got up to follow."Everyone says that once you enter a noble fam...Yanggu has no future.
The valley of Yang seeks not the future.
The future of Yanggu... is the future of mankind.
That general who founded Yanggu back then refused to return to Yangdu and valiantly held off the Hai Clan in the Mijing. He gave his life defending the sea borders, dying for Yanguo. Neither his life nor name were left behind.
But the spirit of Tanggu has been passed down to this day.
Diao Yelu Tower and Jueming Island, while both safeguarding the coastal defense, are engaged in a subtle power struggle for dominance over the nearby islands. They're at each other's throats.
Qi State is crushing the Diaohai Lou today, and tomorrow they will kill its prestige. The Diaohai Lou fought a big battle in the Misty Realm today, and tomorrow they will form a Zhenhai Alliance, which can also stir up waves.

> However, Kechang Valley is rarely targeted.
Because this is truly a pure sect.
...don't fight for power, don't compete with others, just guard your own territory, just guard the human sea border.
They came from the east many years ago and never went back.
At this very moment, Yang Feng fought with all his might!
In this dazzling, sun-like blade light, the Blood King spat out a curse: "Madman!"
He was insane in his fluctuating emotions, while the people of Yanggu were insane for their recklessness. In the end, the other party was crazier.
He didn't want to fight Yang Feng to the death here. He wanted to withdraw and save Yu Guangyuan, but he couldn't easily give up the Huangtai region.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The value of a Huangtai domain is undeniable, it took countless efforts to form. In such a chaotic environment as the Wuhui, one needs both luck and strength to have a chance of being born.
The human race's obsession with the "Huangtai Realm" is akin to the hostility the Aquatic Race harbors towards the "Human Camp."
In such a place, as long as it can withstand the counterattack and operate for the long term, there is a complete chance to completely cover the rules of Cang Hai and become another large base for the sea clan in Hu Shi.
He, the new king of all sea tribes, had the duty to protect his territory! His pupils turned blood red in that instant, resembling crimson amber.
Across the entire Huangtai domain, all sea races felt their blood boil! Even on the other side of the battle-scarred boundary river, regardless of whether they were humans or sea races in that realm, they shared this feeling, their blood not flowing freely. Yang Feng, who was the primary target of the Blood King's wrath, could only imagine the immense pressure he was under.
And at such a time, beneath the golden armor, his body, inch by inch, revealed its glittering gold. The texture of his skin was clearly etched with gold.
His body was a tempest. Beneath his golden skin, powerful veins pulsed with silvery blood.
Yang Feng's body is made of gold, and his blood is mercury!
The divine presence imbues the strong warrior's body with jade-like essence, granting eternal youth until their lifespan comes to an end. Their cultivation never diminishes before their final breath.
While Yang Feng at this moment, had completely changed the essence of his body, restructuring his true form with golden energy, to counter Blood King's notorious and terrifying divine abilities.
But that is not enough.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Mercury blood is also blood, and it should be controlled by the Blood King. However, after being reconstructed by the power of gold veins, it simultaneously possesses both the properties of gold vein power and blood, so it can also be controlled by both the Blood King and Yang Feng.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Beneath the radiant golden skin, silvery-white veins surged like cobras, writhing and struggling ceaselessly! This was a clash of two Taoist principles, a contest of wills.
And yet, even in such a fierce struggle, Yang Feng's hand holding the knife remained steady as Mount Tai.
His blade seemed to lack a concrete form, instead resembling a sharp edge piercing through the chaos of this world, forging its own path with unstoppable force!
Even as he became the battlefield for divine powers to clash, it did not in the slightest affect his resolve. His swordsmanship, instead, grew even more formidable, cutting through the chaos and inversions, dividing this world into heaven and earth!
>
That day and earth, also life and death. Heaven and earth hang by a thread, life and death walk on the edge of a blade.
This is Yang Feng's invitation, intent on letting this world rain with blood, to make this world without heaven and earth, no direction, mourn for one of them.
Completely insane! It's a miracle this battle standard has survived to this day!
The Blood King's bald brow cut with icy emotion. His body suddenly transformed into a streak of blood light, about to pierce the boundary and leave.
He was not incapable of defeating Yang Feng, nor did he lack the courage to face death. But it should not have happened today.
The wrong time, the wrong place, an unexpected opponent!
Yang Feng had to give up on the Yellow Platform. The Yellow Platform could be reclaimed, but Guangyuan would be impossible to find again!
At that moment, blood light flashed like electricity, its blade energy condensing into golden clouds, hanging in the sky one after another, blocking their path.
With a wave of his blood-stained sleeve, Xue Wang moved his mind and heaven and earth were suspended. From then on, blood light reigned supreme.

Heavy clouds are gathering.
Endless thunderstorms, falling into the boundless sky.
Sometimes, one might also get lost in direction and move about aimlessly. Such meteorological phenomena are not uncommon in the Netherworld, where clouds may be below, seas above, or rain falling upwards—in fact, none of these things are literally true.
This world is inherently boundless and limitless, so how can there be a reversal
Perhaps the colossal ship hundreds of meters long, sailing above the endless thunderclouds, is the one that is upside down.
However, regardless of whether they are humans or sea races, in the Illusory Realm, everyone shares this understanding: to put oneself first.
Wherever "I" may be in this maze, when "I" stand there, the top of my head is up, the bottom of my feet is down, and front, back, left, and right all exist because of "me."
Therefore, this horrifying behemoth named "Fukuze" itself serves as an anchor of sorts.

Qi Xiao stood on the deck. There was no need to describe her. The name itself was enough.
Whether it's the Fishing Sea Building, Yanggu Valley, or the sea tribe.
Who doesn't know Qi Xiao Who hasn't witnessed Qi Xiao's methods She was able to completely suppress Qi Wen, a once brilliant prodigy from a renowned family, and in the prestigious Qi family of Donglai, she managed to seize control of Xia Shi's military power. This wasn't achieved through gentleness or elegance.
To say that Qi Xiao's name alone could stop a child from crying at night is an exaggeration. After all, she wasn't as infamous as Chong Xuan or Zhu Liang. But if the Sea Clan True Kings who commanded vast armies had to choose the Qi State Nine Soldiers commander they least wanted to face, Qi Xiao's name would undoubtedly be near the top of the list.
For the past nine years, she has been in charge of Lunzhi Island and dealt heavy blows to the Sea Clan! Although the realm of illusion is constantly at war, the intensity has never been this high. Even when both sides fight fiercely, there are always periods for them to rest and recover.
When Ke Qi's troops arrived, the front lines blossomed on all eight sides. They advanced with a mix of real and feigned movements, never resting.
If the Sea Clan even made the slightest mistake, it would immediately trigger a peak battle, and blood would flow like rivers—the example of Qi Xiao leading his troops to cut into the vital points of their core, instantly cutting them in half, was no longer rare. Every Sea Clan True King who faced Qi Xiao, as well as the armies under their command, had to remain in a state of high alert at all times. The fighting was truly arduous, often leaving them exhausted and demoralized.
The Hai Clan's famed general, Nian Wang Jing Ye, once remarked about Qi Xiao: "He is neither human nor beast. He resembles a war puppet, tirelessly and eternally malevolent."
The massive ship, named "Fukuze", plowed through the raging storm. Below deck, the thunderclouds seemed to churn like the sea itself.
Just as the wind howled, a figure fell like a withered leaf. The wind was so fierce, yet the leaves were so calm.
In this stillness and commotion, a harmonious scene akin to the natural order is sketched out. Finally, it hangs suspended before the boat.
This figure, suspended in front of the bow of the ship, facing the stern and against the wind, yet sailing alongside it, had no visible features, but looked over very clearly.
>
Of course, you can see Qi Xiao.
At this time, Qi Xiao wore armor. His medium-length hair was simply tied behind his head, like a suspended spike.
She had nothing in her hands, but her armor was no ordinary one.
>
On the upper part of the carapace are five mythical creatures: a phoenix, a qilin, and three other unidentified mythical beings. The plastron is adorned with dragons and tigers, while the legs feature phoenixes and tortoises. A qilin is engraved on the breastplate.
In addition to the five auspicious spirits, this auspicious omen is adorned with constellations and auspicious clouds. In short, it is an auspicious sight beyond description.
This suit of armor, which has seen years of bloodshed on the battlefield, appears so peaceful.
A figure at the bow of the ship said, “The ship's name is 'Fuze', the master's name is 'Xiangrui', and the person’s name is 'Qi Xiao'... Talking about bloody battles and impending war! Wherever Marshal Qi goes, it should be called 'songs and dances flourish'! "
Qi Xiao looked calmly ahead: "I wait for armor, isn't it precisely for these four words"
The figure standing before the boat said, “I heard that Marquis Wu'an was flogged in the Dingmao region”
Qi Xiao only said: "Delay is punishable by the stick."
The figure ahead of the ship said: "The entire Dingmao First Floating Island has dozens of generals and tens of thousands of soldiers, with a complex composition. News spreads quickly. A genius like him, a world-famous hero, being publicly flogged is not a good story to tell."
"Did Duke Shu deliberately speak ironically" Qi Xiao said directly, "Duke Wu'an has committed to the law with his life and reputation, something that could be recorded in military history. Where is it unpleasant"
The figure standing at the bow of the boat was none other than Du Hou Cao Jie, who had taken over as commander of the Tianfu Army in place of Jiang Mengxiong!
As a hereditary marquis of the Qi state, inheriting an estate of 30,000 households, Cao Jie single-handedly brought prominence to the Cao clan in Donglai. He subdued the Xia nation, his reputation soaring to rival that of a divine warrior. Cao Jie's attitude towards Qi Xiao remained unperturbed. Instead, he chuckled softly: "It seems Marquis Wu'an has passed your test."
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Qi Xiao said softly, "Lord Du is quite amicable towards Marquis Wu'an."
Cao Jie's features weren't prominent, but one could almost picture the smile on his grim face: "After all, I took him out to war twice, and both times we won spectacularly. He's my lucky general."
Once he obtained the top spot in the Yellow River Examination, and another time he destroyed the Xia Dynasty. Indeed, he was blessed with great fortune.
Qi Xiao shook her head.
"How so" Cao Jie asked. "Did Marquis Wuan not do well on Dingmao Floating Island"
After his promotion, he did an excellent job, nothing to criticize. Perhaps Qi Shuai thinks that Marquis Wuan lacks military talent

Military knowledge can be supplemented, military tactics can be learned, and a sense for war can be cultivated. Jiang Wang possesses first-rate character and intelligence; he learns anything quickly. Observing him train soldiers, one sees his diligent effort. Observing him command troops, one sees his balance of strictness and leniency, his ability to win people over and employ them... Given time, even if he doesn't become a renowned general, leading an army of 100,000 wouldn't be difficult. Cao Jie fell silent for a moment and said, "The talent to lead an army of 100,000 is also the mark of a great general. Then it all boils down to military strategy."
Qi Xiao remained calm throughout, for she was merely stating objective results: "He may not understand military law, but that's alright, we can teach him. It doesn't matter if he lacks respect; being successful at a young age inevitably leads to recklessness. We can slowly shape and refine him."
But observing his actions during his journey to Floating Island in the year Ding Mao, he learned military law, understood it, and respected it. Yet, he still made his own choice. He knew the severity of military orders, but he felt that capturing and killing Yu Guangyuan was more important. He had his own judgment, whether based on the danger posed by Yu Guangyuan or on sympathy for those who were killed by him.
And I have come to understand that he has his own reasons, reasons that transcend all others.
Cao Jie understood completely.
It's not that joining the military means completely erasing your individuality or losing your own thoughts.
Which famous general in the world doesn't have a unique style
To take the example of the campaign against Xia, Chong Xuan and Liang were also among those who stepped forward to compete for the command. They had their own comprehensive strategy for the Xia campaign, which differed entirely from Cao Jie's.
While Cao Jie's campaign against Xia was progressing slowly, this ruthless and peerless general did something remarkable. He spent the night composing a "Letter to the Emperor Written by Lamplight," demonstrating his unwavering support for General Cao Jie's every decision.
He didn't seem to approve of Cao Jie's strategy, nor did he seem to agree with Cao Jie's ideas. Didn't he ever think that he had a better way to open up the situation Even with his military talent, there was a high probability that he could achieve it. But once on the battlefield, rank and order prevailed, and everything obeyed the orders of superiors.
Of course, these two things are not entirely equivalent.
But all those aspiring to be famous generals should understand that an army can only have one idea.
On the battlefield, it is not just ambition, jealousy, fear, and hatred that are distractions. Sometimes, compassion, pity, and a sense of justice also need to be cut off.
>
Because the army knife is merciless.
But Jiang Wang's self-awareness was too strong!
Cao Jie sighed, "Now the position of commander of the nine legions is vacant. Tian An and Zheng Shi each have their strengths and weaknesses, but the emperor has not expressed his preference. Until the last time Marquis Wu'an went to the demon realm to fulfill his duty as a divine envoy, the emperor ordered Xiu Yuan to teach him. Marquis Wu'an lost in the Frostwind Valley in one day, and the emperor waited for a full six months before sending Marquis Wu'an out to sea again, ordering you to teach him military strategy. This is the emperor’s true intention, it's clear to everyone who he has this position reserved for..."
Of course, there's a bit of persuasion in this statement.
The emperor is so eager for Jiang Wang, so wants Jiang Wang to enter the military affairs hall and become the next war god. You Qi Xiao, shouldn't you try harder But Qi Xiao just said: "Marquis Wuan is not suitable."
Cao Jie’s figure stood at the bow of the ship, riding the wind and clouds, with only a sigh.

He fully trusted Qi Xiao's judgment, completely acknowledged Qi Xiao's vision, and knew that no one could change Qi Xiao's mind.
"Actually, the emperor knows as well! He sees farther and more accurately than we do." Facing his old friend from Donglai County, Qi Xiao finally explained: "It's just that the emperor is very fond of him and wants to see him again."
"What do you mean" Cao Jie asked.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qi Xiao raised his eyes slightly: "Duke said that Jiang Wang is your lucky general... Do you still remember the imperial edict after the Yellow River champion"
>
Cao Jie recalled the day he presented offerings at the Temple of the Ancestors. At that time, Jiang Wang, who was not yet a man of twenty, was brimming with arrogance: "He had been successively promoted to the rank of Qingyangzi and received the honorific title of a third-rank Golden Melon Warrior, authorized to carry a sword into court"
"No need for wind and rain, no need for carving. It is a peerless talent, a treasure crafted by heaven!" Qi Xiao sighed softly: "Indeed!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Thus, Cao Jie fell silent.
To this day, of course, no one can deny that Jiang Wang has lived up to the emperor's evaluation back then, deserving every word of praise. He is truly a brilliant and talented person, a gem cultivated by heaven.
But this person walked over so steadfastly, growing all the way to where they are now. They have already weathered many storms and nothing can shake their core or change their essence!
If Jiang Wang's excessive self-centeredness cannot be removed, he is destined to learn very little from Qi Xiao.
If that self were truly pulled out, would Jiang Wang still be so dazzling
>
Then, what do you intend to do with him" Cao Jie asked. "Give him a goal and let him run wild," Qi laughed.
"I won't restrict him anymore. He has his own thoughts and judgment, so let him put them to the test."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Of course, Qi Xiao knew how to employ people well. For someone like Jiang Wang, this was indeed the best arrangement.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wang wants to be a soaring crane, a dragon in the clouds. That means he can't be bound by chains. But that also means he will face the wind and rain alone, taking responsibility for his own victories and defeats. A person with such a strong sense of self would never be placed in a key military position by Qi Xiao.
Cao Jie did not express any opinion. In the midst of the chaotic war, Qi Xiao held absolute power. Even if she arranged for Jiang Wang to be a lowly gatekeeper, no one would dare to say anything. Therefore, he simply asked, "How do you plan to tell the Emperor"
The thunderclouds beneath the large ship were still roaring, but Qi Xiao's voice remained calm: "The War God may be possible, but the Army God is difficult."
>
Cao Jie merely said: "In the coming battles, we await good news from General Qi."
Qi laughed and said, "It's not necessarily good news, but there is news." Unlike Chong Xuan Chu Liang, who had a brother so brilliant that he was spoken of in legends, with unparalleled sharpness and confidence, able to cut through anything in the world, often making decisive pronouncements about victory and defeat, never missing.
She wasn't like Li Zhanyan, who had been groomed for military leadership from childhood, displaying the bravery and composure of a noble family, with elegant and superior military skills.
Born into a prominent family, she always remained vigilant. She constantly faced danger, and also became danger herself at times.
Compared to Xiu Yuan, a truly commoner-born general, she exuded more the air of the wilderness.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Cao Jie fell silent again for a moment, and then, along with his silence and inconspicuous figure, he disappeared into the howling wind.
The giant ship named "Fukze" continues to fly above the clouds and rain. Good fortune appears, and blessings abound!
The Dingmao realm originally had four floating islands and six sea nests, maintaining a precarious balance.
Every time the dimensional rift shifts, it is the fastest time of power turnover for both humans and merfolk.
The advantageous side would certainly seize this rare opportunity of mist, striving to completely eradicate the opposing forces and rebuild a realm entirely autonomous under their own kin.
This is a great achievement!
But after the army of Marquis Wuan of Qi arrived, the situation in the Dingmao realm had already changed.
A Feiyunlou ship, a branch of the Wuan banner, wherever it passed, no one dared to stand in its way.
Although Jiang Wang's feat of returning from the demon realm, has yet to spread throughout the vast ocean race.
But the name "Arrogant Human Race" is well known among most sea creatures who lurk in the Netherworld.
In the beginning, when Blood King flayed Bai Xiang Wang's skin, Bai Xiang Wang wept and pleaded but never recanted. As Jiang Wang's deeds among the humans spread one by one, most sea tribes began to recognize this title. Even Jiao Ming once said that he hoped to meet Jiang Wang and test his prowess.
An ordinary marine general wouldn't need to know how powerful Jiang Wang was, just how strong Jiao Ming was. They would simply run away at the sight of him.
So the Flying Cloud Tower ship unfurled its flags, rampaging across the Dingmao territory, forcing the six Sea Nests to urgently call for reinforcements.
Here is the translation of the content within the tags, excluding the HTML tags:> Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The real Marquis of Wuan has only just arrived.
The defense mission goes without saying. After Jiang Wang arrived in person, the human floating islands in the Dingmao domain didn't need to consider defense anymore. On the contrary, the fact that the sea clan remained shut in their nests was something worth pondering. These warriors were not all from Qi. They came from different sects and countries in the Eastern Region, and even beyond the Eastern Region, all serving as human defenders of the border.
>
Before the new military orders arrived, Jiang Wang had enough self-discipline. He took responsibility for the punishment and, after winning over the hearts of the soldiers, he spent a whole day touring the different locations, familiarizing himself with the defenses and generals of the four floating islands. Then he spent two more days completing the training.
All kinds of complicated tasks were handled with remarkable skill. Some were copied from military manuals, while others were inspired by the profound teachings of experts in strategy and tactics.
And with that, the order was given, and they marched off to war!
He needs to test his knowledge from military books in a real war.
First, practice with these six Sea Nests, and more importantly, establish a "Human Camp" corresponding to the "Huangtai Realm."
As for the various reinforcements that the Hai clan of Dingmao sought urgently during this period, he was afraid that his subordinates wouldn't see the truth and personally acted as a scout to secretly investigate countless times.
Now you can say it loud and clear—come on over, don't bring any gifts!
