Chapter 20: The Future Future
rt was as clear as crystal glass, more fearless than ever before when facing "asking one's heart"!It was a stroke of luck, that precisely Zhuang Chengqian's attack on Jiang Wang helped Jiang Wang safe...Speaking of this period of cultivation, Jiang Wang's main focus was on the Eye-Seeing Immortal Scripture.
He possesses the authentic version of the "Record of Immortal Sight" and holds the key to the path leading directly to the realm of immortals.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
Of course, because of the lack of technical information, it's just a pipe dream for many people, an existence that is more trouble than it's worth.
But in Jiang Wang's hands, it was different.
He attained the arhat state very early on, and with the Dream Order in his possession, he is undoubtedly the most authoritative source for understanding the cultivation of the Five Senses Immortals within the Human Form Ten Thousand Immortal Laws, particularly how to continue cultivating during an era without immortals.
Especially later, he broke the Ruyi Immortal Garment and obtained the inheritance of Ruyi Immortal Palace. He cultivated his immortal thoughts and combined his accumulation in the sound-hearing path to become an Ear Immortal in the era without immortals!
This matter didn't receive much attention, and even Jiang Wang himself didn't realize its significance.
For example.
Both the ancient cultivation philosophies of Yaomiao Mountain and Hekulian Temple mention the Age of Decline. According to the teachings of Xieshi Sumeru Mountain, the Buddha who attains enlightenment during the Age of Decline is the future Buddha, known as "Maitreya"!
This is no ordinary Buddha, but one who is worthy of inheriting the authority of the World-Honored One. This being is the true savior of all heavens and realms.
Jiang Wang achieved the status of an Ear Immortal in the Era Without Immortals. Of course, it's incomparable to becoming a Buddha in the Era of Decline, but it still holds a certain significance as a defiance against the times.
Of course, the process of Jiang Wangcheng becoming an Ear Immortal was full of coincidences and opportunities. To a large extent, it was built upon the foundation laid by predecessors.
The transmission of Yun Ding Xian Gong, Wan Xian Gong, and Ru Yi Xian Gong, the Meng Ling created by the ancestors of Wu Xian Men, and even the techniques he practiced, such as Guan Zai Er and Jiang Wai Dao Jin Gang Lei Yin...
Taking the initial Arhat's celestial appearance as an example, even if he were to start over again, he might not be able to perfectly recreate it.
Perhaps it was precisely because of these trivial reasons that, although he accomplished this feat and gained immense power, he failed to truly grasp its meaning.
But as he takes step by step back to the era of the fairy palace, sooner or later, it will inevitably trigger a historical response.
When the time comes, it will be a landslide or a tsunami, or even the sky falling to the earth. We have to wait for time to verify it all.
Having the experience of cultivating into an Ear Immortal, then cultivating into an Eye Immortal, is undoubtedly much smoother than the period when a blind person gropes for an elephant.
Perhaps the only issue is that Jiang Wangmu's accumulation of knowledge through sight is insufficient, far less than his strong auditory perception.
To be more direct, a single fire element technique alone is not enough to rival the numerous secret arts of the Arhat.
However, Jiang Wang also gained a new chapter during his time in the Mystic Realm.
Although Ji Yanru has left forever, she left a gift for the young man who was raised in seclusion—
The complete text of the Da Yang Empire Royal Secret Transmission, "The Child of Dry yang"!
Jiang Wang also discovered this gift only after later trying to repair the Red Makeup Mirror.
Ji Yanru's legacy is the true lineage of the Dayang Kingdom Imperial Family. It comprehensively records the chapters from the Youmai realm, all the way through Zhoutian, Tongtian to Shenlin, even Dongzhen, and ultimately to the Yandao realm!
Each article corresponds to a refining method and a killing method, each is incredibly detailed, far surpassing the fragmented chapters collected in the Daqi National Library.
That is to say, the gift bequeathed by Da Yang's founding princess, who was exceptionally beautiful and perfect, was enough to allow Jiang Wang to reach the level of Yan Dao without lacking in magical techniques.
The only issue is that the practice of Gan Yang's art belongs to the Dayang royal family and requires a specific bloodline. Outsiders can learn it, but they will inevitably be unable to reach its peak.
Moreover, Jiang Wang had long since mastered the divine arts, transforming the Qianyang Child into a Qianyang Red Child. He didn't intend to scrap and retrain it. His plan was to integrate every chapter of the Qianyang Child into his own Qianyang Red Child.
The effort of the immortal in their cultivation is shown in many ways. The thin silk sash hanging from his waist, barely noticeable to others, is just one example.
It was effortless to trap the Equal King's gaze in the mire.
As soon as King He of Ping saw the golden flames ignite in King Jian's eyes, he finally noticed the sword hidden within its scabbard. Feeling the subtle yet chilling coldness emanating from it, King Biancheng turned his head slightly and gave him a cold, indifferent glance.
Pingdang Wang trembled all over.
King Biancheng only glanced at him and continued on his way. King Pingdeng, however, remained frozen for a moment before recovering. His gaze, like fish leaping back into the water from the shore, returned to himself, and he breathed heavily, as if saved from drowning.
The gap demonstrated here is simply immeasurable.
The Song emperor couldn't help but feel a sense of relief that he had pulled back in time.
There is actually a considerable distance between Duanhun Gorge and Zhongyu. Naturally, the Ten Halls of Yama would have to infiltrate in batches.
As per his usual practice, King Qin Guang would always bring Wang Wuguan with him. This time, however, he directly let him out, allowing him to team up with King Bian Cheng. This could be considered granting him freedom.
On the other hand, Lord Wǔguān seemed reluctant. However, he had no choice but to agree. After stammering for a while, Lord Bìchēng said, "Don't waste my time," and then he followed along obediently.
In all of Hell, only King Qin Guang knew the true identity of the King Bian Cheng.
As for King Bian, the first Yama he encountered besides Qin Guang Wang was Wu Guan Wang. It was outside Linzi City, and back then, Wu Guan Wang was very intimidating...and very impatient.
“Hurry up!” King Biancheng rushed through the forest, his voice cold and without looking back.
"At this point, Wang was on the verge of tears. He was so anxious his voice had become even smoother than usual: 'We don't have to assemble in seven days, can we just slow things down a bit My body can't keep up!'"
King Biancheng only said, "Hm"
At noon, Wang Gu gnawed his teeth and flipped open his coffin. In the air, he deftly replaced his two legs with new ones.
However, the King of Bian City ahead was getting faster and faster. Although he was hugging the ground and trying to be low-key, he moved through the wind and mist like a whirlwind.
In order to keep up, the midday official Wang had to constantly "update" himself, to the point where he even took out his trump card, the body of divine arrival...
But the flourishing nation came to an end.
King Biancheng was unwilling to worry about things himself, and King Wu wasn't trustworthy. So the two of them strictly followed the route planned by the organization. This route went from Shengguo into Jing.
It was Prince Chujiang, the second prince, who was responsible for planning the route for this operation and making all the arrangements for support.
She was the only one besides King Qin Guang who knew all the routes of the underworld.
Travel between Sheng and Jing nations is almost unrestricted. Obtaining a suitable identity in Sheng nation thus allows for easy infiltration into Jing nation, making it difficult for the Mirror Stage to notice.

It was night in Ri, and King Biancheng and King Wugan donned cloaks, wearing black robes as they walked through Wei City, the capital of Shengguo. They did not witness the splendor rumored to be "flower lanterns like day and gifts like the Milky Way," but rather felt a sense of desolation.
The evening breeze blew, and starlight scattered. High-rise buildings hung lanterns, but there were few guests. Although there were pedestrians on the main street, everyone hurried along. Even the pace of King Biancheng and King Wu'guan quickened.
The so-called first state, known as "the sword-sealed grassland," existed. After a full-scale collision with the iron cavalry of the nomadic tribes, it finally showed the world the difference between a hegemonic nation and a non-hegemonic nation.
Although the war ended with Jing Guo's Southern Heavenly Master Ying Jiang Hong personally leading the Shen Ce, Zhan Hu, Sha Zhai, and Mie Nan armies north, driving Mu Guo back to the grasslands, it also left behind a lasting legacy: Bei Gong Nan Tu, the former grand priest of Cang Tu Divine Teachings, dedicated himself to regaining the lost territories of Sheng Guo and engraved a stele on the grassland, earning them a glorious victory.
But before Yingjiang Hong represented Jing Guo in officially participating in this war, Sheng Guo had already been fighting with Mu Guo for more than a year!
The wounds inflicted upon the great nation will take a century to heal. The blood shed by the people of the great nation in Liyuan City has stained every household with mourning!
The meeting point with the contact was a restaurant called "Qianjia Deng".
No sooner had he stepped into the wine shop than King Biancheng saw an acquaintance.
Jiang Li Meng, with her bright and lovely eyes, was being escorted up the stairs by a crowd of people. From their noisy chatter, it sounded like they were celebrating someone's birthday.
King Biancheng kept his gaze fixed and preemptively cut off Wang Wuguan's line of sight.

This Yellow River prodigy possesses the divine power of Siyao, able to see through anything with ease.
Their private room was already booked, they just needed to follow the directions. However, with two people so tightly covered, entering the tavern inevitably drew some attention.
>
"You're not afraid of being recognized, so why cover yourself so heavily You're only inviting suspicion." King Biancheng transmitted his displeasure.
“I don’t remember where I got this face... what if it was from the Shengguo people” Wang Wu replied in a daze.
So he remained silent.
The two went up the stairs one after the other and entered the private room they had booked in advance.
Here, Bian Chengwang saw another acquaintance—Su Xiuxing, who had twice taken the initiative to attack him, once by assassination and once by abduction.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Only when the man stood before him did he remember that this was Su Xiuheng, who had once been a killer at Yanguo Tianxia Lou and later joined Diyou Wumen.
Cultivation level hasn't progressed much, still circling around the Tenglong Realm, unable to break through to the Inner Mansion. However, his aura has become significantly stronger.
It's amazing how we meet people at unexpected times in our lives!

"Beneath the flowers and moonlight," said Su Xiuxing.
Noon official Wang stiffly replied, "The dead cannot be brought back to life."
What a ridiculous code, they should have spent their time on something else!
“I am Su Xiuxing, the person in charge here. Nice to meet you both.” After exchanging a secret signal, Su Xiuxing politely stood up: “Being in a busy city with so many people around makes it inconvenient to greet you at the door. Please understand.”
Just because they were in a private room, it didn't mean they could act recklessly and shout things like "閻羅" and "Hell has no gate" without regard for others.
"Hehehe." Wang Sheng, the Midday Official, chuckled twice from a distance, and that was his response.
Here is the translation of your request:***

King Bian of the State of Cai remained silent, coldly sitting down.
The celestial being's perception quietly activated, quickly tracing back to the private room on the third floor where Jiang Li Meng and his companions were located. It effortlessly captured their voices—for now, they were merely some trivial, playful banter among themselves.
While Su Xiuxing had already put on an act, he carefully sat down in front of the two Yama kings.
“I’ve already ordered the dishes. They’re all the restaurant’s signature dishes. Would you two like to order anything else” he said, handing them two menus.
On the menu it was written that tomorrow afternoon a wine merchant caravan would be traveling to Jing Country, and the two positions for viewing the wine inside the wine barrels were already in operation.
Another menu listed that the caravan from Jingguo Temple of Heavenly Palace, which had come to purchase wool the day before yesterday morning, was about to return, and two guard positions were now vacant.
At noon, Wang Mo remained silent. This time, it wasn't his turn to make the decision.
King Biancheng pointed to the first sheet with his finger, "The night is long and dreams are many. It's best to be as quick as possible."
As the commotion in Jiang Li Meng's private room grew louder, a group of young nobles from Shengguo, after two cups of alcohol, lost control and began to loudly insult people from Jingguo.
This is a test.
King Bian of the State of Chu listened with relish.
The resentment of the people in the prosperous country is palpable.
Take, for example, the Qianzhandengju Restaurant right now.
It is said that the original intention of the tavern owner was to have his business flourish throughout northern and southern China, opening a thousand branches.

With the heavy blow dealt to the great nation by World War I, this ideal was never mentioned again. The dozens of branches that had already opened also closed one after another.

This is a microcosm of the overall social landscape in Shengguo during this period.
West Heaven Master Yu Xi had sat in charge here for more than a year, closing the Heavenly Gate of Sheng Guo.

Who can blame them

Thinking back to the Yellow River meeting, that unassuming Sheng Xuehuai was so dashing. Although he lost to Ji Zhaonan, he still showed his charm and no one dared to underestimate him.
The vice-minister of the great country, Meng Wuya, stubbornly resisted the offerings of the golden crown and sacrificial rites by Na Mo Duo, the national priest. How resolute he was!
The glory is gone at last...
Su Xiuxing put both "menus" away and ate them nonchalantly. Then he stopped talking about business, poured wine, and enthusiastically introduced the scenery of Shengguo.
Wáng Guān, the King of Noon Official, was a cruel and indifferent man who rarely spoke. However, the King of Biànchéng next to him was even colder. He could only respond with half-hearted phrases to keep the conversation going and make this private room seem more normal.
King Bian Cheng sat there, his eyes cold and emotionless, listening to all around him.
Looking at the man who was talking nonstop, he suddenly remembered that Su Xiuxing seemed to be from Wei Guo's Jia Heng County but had gone to the East Region to develop. And back in the Yao Realm's Frostwind Valley, the person who was controlled and attacked him seemed to be named Mei Xuelin, also from Wei Guo.

Do Wei people generally harbor hatred for Jing people, a sentiment that hasn't been diluted over the years
Hell's Gate this time targets You Que, the very person who committed atrocities against Wei Guo in the past. Could the instigator be connected to Wei Guo as well
I have some questions I'd like to ask Su Xiuhang.
But King Bian was ruthless, and the danger of King Wu's arrival couldn't be ignored, so he said nothing.
At this time, I heard some interesting conversations again —
"What Is Lin Zhengren coming to Weidu He dares to come" That must be the man wearing the tall hat.
"What's there to be afraid of. He is representing the Zhuang Nation this time, and he will be staying at the Waiyi Guan tomorrow. What can you possibly do to him" It must have been the round-faced woman walking to Jiang Limeng's left.
In the mind of King Bian, each person and their voice corresponded to one another.
"What's the point of being from Zhuang State!" Still that pompous old fool.
“It wasn’t much before, now it’s something at least. At the very least, their envoys can no longer be insulted by you and me.” That was said by the man in the long robe.

“Back then, I was as submissive as a dog wagging its tail, treating him like a benevolent gentleman. Little did I know he was deceiving us all along! It’s been such a bitter experience!” said the plump man dressed in scholar's robes.
"Lǐ Mèng, what do you say, should we punish him" This was said by the man walking to Lǐ Mèng's right, his status clearly not ordinary, with a rather handsome appearance.
"Qiya, you don't need to get involved in this. I was just outdone on the Viewing River Terrace. There's nothing worth learning from that. What could I possibly teach him He shouldn't have beaten me." That was Jiang Limeng's voice.

Qiyaya The son of Qi Hong, the renowned general of Sheng Guo who was beheaded by Cao Shuai's army
Of course, for King Biancheng, all the people sitting in the other box added together didn't make him pay attention to the three words "Lin Zhengren."
That's interesting.
He was very aware of the terror that the monarchs and ministers Zhuang Gaoxian and Du Ruhui wielded, and he fully understood that the moment he left Qi State, Zhuang Gaoxian would become suspicious.
Zhuang Gaoxian is absolutely not someone who would just sit back and wait for death!
Then, under the circumstances of Master Kuka and Zen Master Zhaohui blocking the door, what was Lin Zhengren's intention in making a diplomatic mission to Shengguo at this crucial moment
King Bian Cheng sat silently in his seat, saying nothing.

He knew that Zhuang Gaoen had already begun to act. But he didn't know when or how this storm would break.
