Chapter 188: Death Before Life, Gaining Precedence Through D
and loyal people in Yang Guo. For your sake, this commander can spare the lives of the people of Yang Guo, as long as they sincerely surrender... Will you deliver this order for this commanderThere is...For a long time, Qi State and the Diaohailou in the nearby islands have had a relationship of both competition and cooperation.
Facing the sea tribes, we of the Illusory Realm stand together. Among ourselves, we vie for dominance in the near seas.
The advantage of the Di Hai Lou lies in its history, in their ancestors who have been fishing from ancient times to the present day. For millennia, they have stood firm before the Misty Realm, becoming a tangible symbol of resistance against the Sea Clan.
In this sense, the only one comparable to Diaohailou is Danggu. Danggu is relentless and fights harder than anyone else, sparing no sacrifice. Clad in the vestiges of the former Dayang Empire, it represents a spirit of unwavering defense of the sea frontier. Qi's strength lies in its power, which grows ever greater.
The so-called "Nine Nations of the Rising Sun," who once inherited the legacy of the Great Danyang Empire and prospered for a time, either perished in one fell swoop or submitted and acknowledged their suzerainty. No matter how glorious that former Great Danyang Empire once was, all traces of it have long since vanished.
The banner flying over the Eastern Region today is that of the Great Qi Empire's Purple Micro Heavenly Emperor Banner.

Especially in recent years, Fuyang has defeated Xia, already swallowing thousands of miles! Only when fame and reality match can one grasp the world.
Qi State had already freed itself, so why did it endure for so long, confining the struggle for hegemony near the sea to the framework of the Zh Hi Alliance established by Wei
Besides global thinking and the desire to win over more hearts of sailors, it is also perhaps because of the Dragonfisher, who once dominated for centuries, whether he still exists or not.
If we say that Wei Xun, with the status of a true monarch, is willing to take risks with Qi Xiao, and even before his death, he still wants to lead away the two emperors, it is a manifestation of the great pattern of an apex powerhouse.
If the Son of Heaven agrees to support the Dragon-Tamer, it shows even greater magnanimity. To allow a person beyond one's control so close to one's bed is truly extraordinary!
Once a Dragon Tamer steps beyond the final threshold and truly achieves transcendence, the position of Dihaolou in the coastal islands will become unshakeable. The state of Qi will forever lose the possibility of unifying the seas. Unless it were for the greater good of humankind, how could the Son of Heaven of Qi make such a choice
On the stage of Tianya, the Dragon Guest walks towards transcendence, and those present watch with support. At this moment, when national letters are delivered and imperial edicts are bestowed, support is naturally even greater!
...in the current world situation.
The Qi state dominated the eastern regions, and after annexing Nansha, its power amassed to a peak unmatched in any previous dynasty. It was no less formidable than the Great Yang Empire at its zenith. Or perhaps, since Jiang Shu ascended the Dragon Throne... Every year of the Yuan Feng era, the Qi state reached new heights.
With such a powerful national force backing him, Xuanyuan Shuo's fishing rod had become an unbreakable peak piercing the heavens.
At this very moment, in the realms of the Misty Veil, the Vast Sea, and the Coastal Regions, three terrifying powerhouses who are nearing transcendence engage in a fierce battle across three distinct spaces. The convergence of their might centers on a single object: the "Fishhook," and the luminous full moon that hangs in the celestial expanse.
Once all the individual members of a species have broken free, they are lifted up by their collective, completing their final leap forward. Immediately, they take the last step and achieve greatness.
Once Gaoji died, the Hai clan's rise failed, and the Dragon Fisherman Xuan Yuan Shu immediately achieved transcendence.
Only the old man Tianfu, Ji Lan, was the first. He was once a person who had been swallowed by the sea. Although he climbed to the peak again, he still had the vision of approaching transcendence from his past life, but he had not yet shown the possibility of transcendence.
At this moment, the three were vying with each other under the bright moon, reaching a stalemate for a while.
Could the key to breaking the deadlock still lie in the outcome of the battle between several Sea Clan Emperors and Human Race True Monarchs
Of course not!
Not to mention that Zhong Xi and the others were already at their wit's end, they couldn't possibly win against the Human Realm True Monarch. Just speaking of Ji Lan alone, he would never put his hope in other people's hands!
Back then, when I explored the path of transcendence, it was like this. When Xuanyuan Shuo forced me into a life-or-death battle, it was also like this.
Abandoning one's physical form is not an easy decision, and reaching the pinnacle as a human being is even more precarious.
But he always firmly believed that the future was in his hands!
The great contributions he made alongside Master Yu, his brilliant talent in the creation of spells, his cold and tolerant or perhaps even great... The myriad beings' eyes can't encompass him, let alone depict all that he is.
He always relied on his clan and refused to let go, which is precisely why he was caught by Xuan Yuan Shuo's fishing line and couldn't resist.
Ji Lan didn't expect Gao Jie to continue exerting himself. After all, Gao Jie was not only shouldering the future of the Hai Clan, but also his own chance for transcendence, and he wouldn't give up easily.
And he also understood Xuan Yuan Shuo very well, or perhaps he was the person who understood Xuan Yuan Shuo best in this world, just as Xuan Yuan Shuo understood him best today! Xuan Yuan Shuo understood him very well, which is why, even during the time of fishing at Gao Jie, he still guarded against him who had been dead for thousands of years. Xuan Yuan Shuo had a hatred that was hard to dispel in his heart, which is why he failed to achieve his goal three thousand eight hundred years ago, and he took the title of "Dragon Tamer" as his own, dedicating himself to slaying dragons.
But what use is hate
Xuanyuan Suo, back then, had fished for dragons alone with his pole, killing too many of them. This oppression weighed on his Dao heart and forced him to take action. This led to a desperate battle with no guarantee of victory. As a result, his otherwise sure path to transcendence was abruptly delayed until now.
How could he have no hatred for Xuanyuan Shuo!
At this moment, he was bound upon the crescent moon, within a cocoon, while his voice echoed outside — "Come from the East across the sea!"

Boom!
The heavens and earth trembled, and the realm of illusion shuddered.
What lies below the truth is unknowable, while what lies above it is fully realized.
From the depths of the East Sea Dragon Palace, a crystal palace sprang forth. Bathed in moonlight, it appeared before all beings.
This is a test.
Sparkling and translucent, it was a sight to behold. Exquisitely beautiful, the carvings were like delicate makeup. At a certain moment, this crystal palace exploded suddenly, and from within emerged a dragon's body!
Brandishing claws and teeth, roaring dragons echo across all eight directions, it comes with the moon.
This dragon has all its scales and claws, shining brightly. Its eyes are like red carnelian, and its horns resemble coral clusters!
Possessing immense physical power, yet lacking a divine soul to anchor it. Where it treads, the very Dao ripples like water.

On the platform of Tiangya, Xuan Yuan Shou let out a long sigh, as if awakening from a dream: "This is truly your path!"
"Gilan's human form still struggles against the Line of Dao, constantly escaping and being bound. But her voice remains calm and composed: 'Xuan Yuan Shou, you think yourself invincible beneath transcendence, relentlessly pursuing me, unaware of how much I have prepared to fight you!'"
"To be raised in the Dragon Palace and borrow its path, it is indeed an extraordinary idea." Xuan Yuan Shuo's voice was slow: "That decisive battle back then, the reason why it dragged on for decades, was because you were preparing this Dao body"
"You leave me no choice!" Jiralan shook her head, laughing self-deprecatingly. "Well... I never thought it would be this long. Back then, there were hundreds of boats vying for the current, and now only you and I remain."
Man and dragon are in harmony, stemming from the same source. Tracing back to a great power echoing, causing him to shine brilliantly. He breaks through the cocoon of this way, ink-colored hair flying: "Let me settle this with you!"
From an intimate relationship to a life-or-death struggle, and finally being driven to the harsh environment of the Cang Hai Sea where they suffer greatly. The hatred between the sea clan and the human clan is unparalleled. They are sworn enemies for eternity, meeting means deciding life or death. For a long time, the sea clan viewed human civilization as the root of all evil, believing that the blood flowing in humans was the most poisonous, even a piece of cloth would pollute Cang Hai.
This is undoubtedly driven by hatred, but also a need for the Hai clan to quickly adapt to life in the East Sea and strengthen their faith in each other. But it has also, in fact, stifled the thoughts of many talented young Hai clan members.
Even when he was still weak, Fuhai already had his own thoughts. He believed that since the human race could drive the Hai clan to the East Sea and become the victors of the ancient war, they must have their advantages. To defeat the enemy, one must understand the enemy.
Therefore, he abandoned the prejudice of race and learned the Way from humans... even in the end, to become a human!
He not only needs to become a true human, but also needs talent enough to match the Overlord of the Sea's physical body.

Because this is the path to transcendence that he discovered through his arduous journey of seeking enlightenment.
Please note: The original text within the > tags was empty. I've kept the HTML tags as instructed.
He must thoroughly understand both human and sea clan knowledge, merge their bodies, grasp the destiny of the two generations of current overlords, and achieve perfection in both forms. The two converge and advance, endlessly colliding and sublimating. Thus, he will take another step beyond the peak of transcendence and become truly transcendent!
But to become a human, how easy is it The ocean of origins is immeasurable, not unique to the emperor alone.
To achieve this, his layout is no less than three thousand eight hundred years old! Not to mention how he obtained it before being forced to kill by Xuan Yuan Shou.
To put into words the effort he dedicated before and after enabling the Kulan, it would take more than just a few sentences.
For example, the historical event of the fall of the State of Yang.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The towering trees collapsed, not just in one place but many. The Danyang Kingdom went from its peak to dust and ashes; of course, it couldn't be blamed entirely on any one person. But as a member of the Ji clan, he certainly made contributions that could not be ignored.....He also plundered a wealth of resources, laying the foundation for the path of Yan Dao.
>
For example, in order to become a more perfect human and gain more recognition from his fellow humans, he painstakingly created achievements and publicized them, leaving behind the name "Tianfu." Before him, divine powers, which were closely related to innate talent, were not revered to such a high degree. After him, the human race's emphasis on divine powers reached a state of fanaticism.
For instance, how did he separate the complete Mirror Flower Water Moon and condense it into a single seed, transforming it into the secret realm of Heavenly Treasury
And then they waited for the twin mirror flowers, Bamboo Su Yao and Bamboo Bi Qiong, how long they waited....
This includes getting Zhú Bì Qióng back to Diù Hǎi Lóu and, through understanding everything Xuán Yuán Shuò left behind, further understanding Xuán Yuán Shuò...
And these, could Xuan Yuan Suo see them all
Xuan Yuan Shuo had some reservations about him, but he had to say that it was only a superficial level of caution! It wasn't enough!
Xuan Yuan Shou wasn't sure if he had any backup plan after his death. As the one who was killed, he always knew that Xuan Yuan Shou was still alive. For today, how many years had he prepared!
He waited, waiting until Xuan Yuan Shuo fished the Gaisu River, then he came to step on the Moon Hook. Waiting until Qi's national letter arrived, then he summoned his dragon body.
When the Gaojie clan rose in power, Xuanyuan Shuo plotted against them. And they plotted against Xuanyuan Shuo.
In the past, one died before his time but gained precedence through death!
Now he is going to stand on Xuanyuan Suo's lunar hook, utilizing the collision of Xuanyuan Suo and Gaojie, two venerables approaching transcendence—their paths to transcendence clashing to create a magnificent inferno—to forge his two dao bodies, completing the fusion of human and dragon forms.
Is not Xuanyuan Shuo the transcendence of the human race, and Gao Jie the transcendence of the sea race Is he not now at the intersection of the fates of the human and sea races There is no time more suitable, no place more appropriate.
He was happy to be hooked, right now!

Heaven, time and place are all in our favor, the illusionary world has become reality! The power of seeming and real divides the grand battlefield once more.
At this moment, he was ahead of Ji Lan. The dragon body he had prepared for a long time was flying towards him. And in the moonlight, his former face reflected from beneath the ocean was shown!
Radiant and handsome, with boundless charm.
Xuanyuan Shuo and Gaojie's path of transcendence was at a stalemate, but he would be the first to achieve greatness. At that time, he would extinguish Xuanyuan Shuo with a flick of his hand, and send Gaojie on his way with another. The balance of power between the human and sea clans is nothing more than a turn of his palm.
This is the convergence of three transcendental paths. The moon hangs high, so white it's unbearable to look at directly, seeming to suspend all worlds, illuminating both past and present.
At this moment, whether it's Zhongxi, Ruichong, Xiyang, Zhanshou, or Caojie, Yuejie, Zhu Sui, Yuliyang, and Peng Chongjian, none of them can interfere any longer.
Because they stand at the pinnacle of this world, and these three paths are all on the peak!
The domain of Jiyou, where the True Monarch Zhushuang entangled with the monarchs, borders on the Shapola Dragon Realm, where mountains and rivers are shattered, and on the Futu Pure Land, which has intact defenses. There are also two boundary rivers connecting to insignificant places.

The clash of power between the levels of Dao almost washed this realm clean again. Yet, this round of bright moonlit sky hung over it, yet not within it.
"Jiang Wang!" Cao Jie roared on the peak of Tai Yi Mountain.
This sudden cry pierced the heavens, it was the war horn of the great Qi army. There was a faint sound of killing rising and clashing swords, flags fluttering in the wind!
The sound of awakening, piercing straight through the ear.
Jiang Wang, who lay on the ground, remained there. His body was still warm, but his breath had ceased, and his spirit was gone. Zuo Qingru, who had been frantically tending to him for a while, had long since stopped her futile rescue attempts, her expression full of regret. His soul had departed; even Cao Jie's call did not rouse him!
Who could have thought that the story of the true transmission of Diaohailou and the great prodigy of Daqi would end so hastily
One is a reflection in a mirror, the other a phantom in a dream.
On the mountaintop, Cao Jie shouted a command and wasted no time. He raised his general's flag and rallied the troops!
He had previously entrusted Jiang Wang with the command of the army, but only to give him an opportunity to take credit for the victory when it came, on behalf of the Son of Heaven. It was also a way to add to the fortune of his so-called lucky general.
But misfortune arises from unforeseen circumstances, and the days of smooth sailing are over.
Jiang Wang transferred power to Shang Fengchen, but faced Ji Lan who had stepped out of the Water Mirror. It was a precarious situation.
>
Shang Fengchen's military capabilities naturally surpassed Jiang Wang's, but he lacked the ability to immediately unite so many soldiers from different backgrounds and training under one banner.
At this moment, it was necessary to truly utilize the power of the military, so Cao [character name] firmly grasped military control.
As soon as he moved, a phantom of an ancient battlefield materialized behind him. Bodies lay scattered everywhere, and the blades remained sharp. The battered flags were stained with blood, still facing the setting sun!
His principles are in direct opposition to those of the wise and profound Emperor Xuan Shen, yet like an arm severed against another, they complement each other.
Although he stood upon Taiping Mountain, in this contest of fundamental essence, he was actually falling behind.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It wasn't much to begin with. Emperor Xuan Shen was extraordinary; he made his judgment from the start. As the saying goes, "the best general wins by anticipating what will happen next." The advantages on other battlefields would inevitably come back around. He only needed to wait.
It's like waiting for the sea tribe to rise with great ambition, like waiting for Gaoji to make a move and issue a holy decree.
A truly exceptional warrior possesses extraordinary patience. But at this moment, he could wait no longer.
This content is an empty placeholder.
Qi Xiao should have died in battle with Wei Xun, so now he is the highest commander on the battlefield.
He must take responsibility and ensure victory!
The battlefield where three transcendent paths converge is indeed difficult to interfere with. But difficult to interfere with does not mean impossible to interfere with.
Ji Lanxian, Gao Jie, and Xuan Yuan Shu walked toward transcendence, but they hadn't yet achieved it.
Half of him still lives, this is the enemy's throat!
At this moment, Cao Jie still stood atop Mount Taizhi, facing the celestial expanse of wisdom and grandeur.
But the phantom of the ancient battlefield behind him, at this moment, "came to life". This is divine power, a military strategist's deployment on an autumn field!
Everyone says Cao Ji is a master strategist, but few have actually seen him fight with all his might. As a brilliant military commander, he never leads from the front lines. And no opponent has ever pushed him to such a desperate situation that he had to personally don armor and engage in a bloody battle.
Everyone says that Ku Mian Cao Jie is a smooth operator in battle. He doesn't seem to get ruffled, no matter the fight. But every victory he claims embellishes this battlefield. The more victories he racks up, the stronger he becomes. What does he look like today
He was enfeoffed as the Duke of Dù due to his military achievements, exterminated the Summer Jin Emperor, and mastered the peak of military arts by reversing the flow of the Dao's divine power.
Under his command, though the human army had fought many battles, its formation remained intact. Furthermore, renowned warriors of the time such as Chongguang, Yang Feng, and Qin Zhen joined the ranks, making the army even more formidable.
At this moment, divine power is at hand, and the army gathers. A warrior cultivator's most powerful time is now.
The human army from the Ji You Realm gathered into battle formations, their military might reaching the sky as they charged into the illusory figure of the ancient battlefield.
The soldier plunged into divine powers.
The real battlefield and the spiritual battlefield merge as one.
A spring breeze blew past, swaying the white paper lanterns. Yu Liyang and Zhu Sui also entered the formation.
Those tattered flags stood upright, one by one. The bodies that lay on the ground rose, each holding a bloodstained sword. They silently hoisted their steeds, leaped onto them, and silently raised their battle axes, gazing at the banners.
>
On the battlefield, the corpses and tattered flags were once accompanied by a million armored soldiers, banners fluttering like a forest!
...under the command of a squad of armored soldiers forming a phalanx of spear and shield... Charge! Charge! Charge!
>
There are few talents in the world as numerous as millions, let alone true men and immortals who are all here. Cao's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth are all bleeding.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But the iron cavalry that he commanded, trampled mountains and seas, broke through passes and cities, and fiercely charged into the moonlit intersection of the Path to Transcendence!
What is the art of war, now known to all sea tribes!ir position.”Yen Fu's "family ancestors" naturally referred to his grandfather, the former prime minister Yen Ping. The latter served in government for many years, his accomplishments surpassing those...
