Chapter Eighty-One: Only Hope
Chong Xuan Sheng's vulnerability and pain were only ever revealed to him and Fourteen.In the ruins of Ku Rong Courtyard, the usually thick-skinned Chong Xuan Sheng said——"I feel lonely."The death of...The empty seat, which everyone tacitly acknowledged and pretended not to see, was pointed out by Jiang Wang, immediately causing Dou Zhao's attack.
He not only wanted to remove Li Yi's chair but also loudly declared, "From now on, his vote will count as mine!"
Although Cang Ming doesn't look at people when he speaks, he kindly explains: "As for Li Yi, I understand him. He probably isn't looking down on anyone...he just doesn't care."
“Oh, that’s outrageous.” Zhongxuan followed up with a criticism as well.
“Since he’s so indifferent, why not declare his withdrawal” Qin Zhizhen said in a low voice. “I would rather look at Chun Yu Gui or Chen Suan than face an empty seat every time and be reminded by the emptiness of what he calls indifference.”
"Can we choose someone" Huang Sheli sounded a bit surprised. "Then I think General Pei Xinghe should be chosen—among all the real people in Jing Guo, he looks the most capable."
Zhong Xuan silently carved characters without speaking.

The moderator stepped in again, trying to bring the conversation back on track: "We set the rules last time, three unexcused absences and we vote for a replacement. There's no need to discuss it further."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Then let's continue with Jiang Commissioner," Dou Zhao remained steadfast, his tone laced with steel. "There hasn't been any movement from the Snow Country, and you haven't handled anything in the Tai Xu incident pool either. What have you done this past month"
It seems that this unread message really annoyed him.
"I have my own plans, no need to report to you." Jiang Wang looked at him. "You've marked down many events, but is there even a single one that you handled yourself"
"You're the one who called people over, why are you looking at me like that"
At this time, Zhong Xuan said, "I'm also curious, why hasn't Jiang Gaoyuan formed his own cabinet members yet Doesn't he have a plan for that"
In his opinion, Jiang Wang was too detached.
Dealing with the Void Event is no easy feat.
>
Power is real power.
>
Releasing these events actually means releasing the power that comes with the identity of a member of the Tai Xu Pavilion.
"Do you care about these things" Jiang Wang looked around and chuckled lightly, "Then let me tell you my thoughts. I don't actually plan to build any subordinates. You are all dragons and phoenixes among people, the subordinates are all very talented... places like Xiji Tai, Fenghua Hall, and Wanhuagong are all full of talented people, highly professional."
"My Lords, your esteemed ranks are quite capable of handling all the big and small matters within this Illusory Realm. Why would I need to assemble a motley crew and insert myself into this Is it simply to vie for more so-called authority as a member"
“I don't need to, my ambition lies elsewhere. The Tai Xu Pavilion members have a thirty-year term, and I really want to spend it harmoniously with all of you. Within the Tai Xu Pavilion, I won't miss any major matters that require discussion. As for those things scattered in the event pool, I won't vie for them. I will only fulfill my responsibilities and do my duty. As for the rest, let those who are interested take care of it!”

Given Master Jiang's current prestige, if he truly wanted to recruit followers, it wouldn't matter if he used the name of the Tai Xu Pavilion. Even simply opening a new branch of the Bai Yu Jing Wine House… with a single call, he could shake the world, let alone attract thousands upon thousands!
He didn't trust outsiders, and the affairs of Tai Xu Ge were inconvenient to discuss with former officials from Qi. At Bai Yu Jing Wine House, Zhu Weiyi, Bai Yu Xia, and Lian Yuchan - weren't they all talented individuals To handle the trivial matters in the Tai Xu Pool, it wouldn't be a problem at all.
But in Jiang Wang's view, there was no such necessity.
Lian Yuchan and Xiang Guo were always inseparable. Zhu Wei and Bai Yexia both had their own paths and shouldn't be tied down by something like this. It wouldn't hurt to open a Baiyu Jing wine house for them to have some fun. There's no reason to use Jiang Someone's power to hold back these prodigies.
Besides that... he really doesn't have much ambition either.
The path he sought was the straight and narrow, a solitary ascent to the pinnacle, an unparalleled height among billions.
He wanted to climb higher, not to step on others, but to ask where the peak of cultivation lay, just to take a look... at the end of the sky.
The identity of a member of the Tai Xu Pavilion, to others, inevitably means an extension of various forces' influence. But for him, it's simply being a member of the Tai Xu Pavilion.
He only needs to maintain the Taixu Iron Rules and the Taixu Illusory Realm, he needn't consider anything else.
From this perspective, among the nine members of the Taixu Pavilion, he was the one closest to the Taixu Dao Master. So what did Xue Guo seek, what did Fu Huan plan, and what was Qin Guo's movement... why should he care He only needed to ensure that in the end, Xueyu was willing to open the Taixu Fantasy Realm. He didn't want to interfere with what happened in this process, nor did he feel that he could interfere.
The heavens have their way, and people have their own plans. One should not change based on the hopes of others.

Last time when disaster struck, he was also by chance, the entire process on the cliff edge to watch. If he had known that Blood River was such a situation, he would rather pull up Master Zhu and go to Yu Yuan.
Jiang Wang's candid expression made everyone in the hall silent for a moment.
Regardless of how you put it, a member who doesn't vie for power is ultimately more approachable. Especially during times when various factions compete fiercely behind the scenes.
Zhong Xuan let out a soft sigh: “Councillor Jiang is so candid and self-aware, it’s enviable.”
"In life, all sorts of troubles come from what we hold onto too tightly." The Immortal Jiang said: "Once your attachment to the Eternal Winter Saint lingers for too long, it becomes the extreme celestial palace of the Arctic."
Of course, it was just a harmless and polite remark.
He may not have remembered saying such a thing afterwards.
But Zhong Xuan was suddenly struck dumb, his heart filled with a deep sense of melancholy.
"What is it that Zhongge members can't let go of" Jiang Wang immediately asked.
Master Jiang was still quite close to Zhong Xuan. After all, he had memorized his teacher's "Sword Cuts Through the Sea of History" for so many years...
Let's get this meeting started!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Of course, curiosity prevails at this moment.
Zhong Xuan immediately restrained his expression: "I'm a lot older now, there's nothing I can't let go of. It's you young people..."
"There hasn't been much going on this month," Ju Kui said. "Each hall has been very efficient, and all the minor matters have been cleared."
Then Cang Ming also said, "After the framework is set up, everything else is easy to do."
The Script Pavilion said: "There's only one thing that needs to be informed in advance — after the Five Punishment Tower, it will no longer be responsible for the Great Void Event Pool, and will focus on monitoring each hall. This is to ensure clear responsibilities and prevent laws from becoming empty words."
Please provide me with the text you would like to translate. I can help with that!
Dou Zhao frowned: "Isn't this under the jurisdiction of Taixu Dao"
Huang Sheli also spoke up: “Who else could escape the transcendent”
Ji Quiping said calmly: "As everyone knows, the Lord of Taixu will not interfere with reality. This is to prevent someone from using real-world means to conceal their schemes in the Taixu Illusionary Realm...This matter has been acknowledged by the Lord of Taixu. I am not bringing it up for discussion, just informing you."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
From then on, every event in the Vast Empty Event Pool would undergo two checks after completion, conducted by the Vast Empty Master and the Five Punishment Towers respectively.
This further compresses the power distribution of each hall when handling events in the void, ensuring fairness for the Void Pavilion to the greatest extent.

The drama secretary added, "If any of you violate the rules, the consequences will be severe. Lightly, the event will restart. Seriously, your name as a member will be revoked. You can check the specific regulations through the Taixu Jade Pendant. I won't repeat them here."
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
Zhong Xuan brandished his pen and sword, saying casually, "Finally, something worth recording. Otherwise, I'm afraid people will think I'm writing some wild history."
In the entire Tai Xu Pavilion, only he and Ju Kui were earnestly pushing forward the meeting. It was inevitable to feel a bit tired. The others were just sitting there vying for power, competing entirely under the table. All matters were handled by the pavilion members... Oh, perhaps Jiang Pavilion Member was an exception.
Zhong Xuan's sweeping gaze seemed to wake Jiang Wang. He roused from his state of indifference and spoke, "If there is nothing else everyone wishes to discuss, I have something here — a proposal for us all to consider."
“What's up”
Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!
Dou Zhao laughed and said, "Is it that things in the Snow Country can't be handled Now you want to ask for help"
Jiang Wang was too lazy to argue with this fellow. He merely flicked his finger lightly, sending out seven Xian Nian that hovered in front of each member of the council: "Look again and speak."
Zhong Xuan held the fairy thought in his hand, pondered for a moment, and exclaimed, "The Way of the Star Road"
Everyone present was deeply engrossed, could they possibly fail to see the value of this secret technique
...can reduce the difficulty of building star towers, can make the completed star towers more stable, can strengthen the connection between star towers, and allow outer tower cultivators to receive more starlight support....
It can't be said to be a huge revolution in the system of cultivation, but it is definitely an important supplement to the existing system of cultivation!
Why would Jiang Wang take out such a secret technique
All the officials had uncertain looks in their eyes, each lost in thought.
"How much" Dou Zhao didn't even give him a look, and directly said, "I bought it!"
Jiang Wang looked at him: "The Douge member is really sincere. In this fairy's thought, I haven't hidden anything. I have already told you the secret method. Do you still need to spend extra money to buy it again"
"If you're not willing to spend money, it's the same as having no money at all." Dou Zhao's tone was casual, but his attitude was serious: "I feel uneasy keeping something that was given to me for free!"
"May all your wealth bring you peace of mind!" Jiang Wang chuckled, clapping his hands together. "Money really is amazing."
Qin Zhizhen also said, "If Master Jiang is interested, the price can be discussed."
The value of Star Road's Method is obvious to all. If this could be solved with money, that would be best.
Jiang Wang shook his head, he sat in his own position, retracted his smile, and his expression became serious: "Today is the second Tai Xu Conference of Tai Xu Pavilion, all of you are members of Tai Xu Pavilion who aspire to humans... I need to seriously introduce this method of star road to everyone."
At this moment, he was completely different from his usual posture of being decisive and powerful like a dragon and tiger facing Dou Zhao, nor was he as calm and composed as usual. Instead, he had a rare solemnity that unconsciously made the officials present take things seriously.
“This method was created by Xiao Shu, the genius of Dan Nation. He once had the ideal of changing Dan Nation and the world, but his ideals were shattered by a fake pill, and with it, his Xinglou collapsed. Shortly after his death, Dan Nation was also buried.”
Jiang Wang said with utmost sincerity: “But Xiao Shu wasn't without a trace after death, he didn't come to this world for nothing. Before his death, on the streets of Bù Réng City, as he lay dying, he passed down this secret technique to me.”
“I have personally verified the superiority of this secret method and have constantly adjusted and corrected it. After six years, I can responsibly tell everyone today—Xiao Shu's creation of the Xinglu Method can be regarded as a key supplement to the outer building cultivation method. It can make it easier to reach the outer building realm and strengthen the power of all outer building cultivators."
“It is a masterpiece by a genius, though not yet recognized in its time, it will surely be celebrated for centuries to come!”
“Yes, as you all thought.” Jiang Wang’s gaze swept clearly across each member of the council: “I will uphold Xiao Shu’s legacy and, free of charge, share this secret technique with all cultivators in the world. Xiao Shu is dead, Dan Guo is gone, he has nothing left to seek. I am merely a fortunate witness who sent him on his final journey. I have nothing to ask for—only that humanity flourishes and that history remembers Xiao Shu.”

What did Xiao Shu say before he died
He said—I believe those who are willing to take the risk of showing me compassion have the courage to change the world.
At the very end, he believed Jiang Wang was different, the one who could change the world.
Therefore, the Star Road Method was delivered, and a lifetime's ideal was given up.
But, how long is this road!
To this day, Jiang Wang is renowned throughout the land. His strength and status are both at their peak in the mortal realm. But he dares not say that he will change the world. The higher one stands, the more they see, and the more they realize their own insignificance. This world does not need fools who are arrogant and self-important to change it.
The further he walked forward, the more cautious Jiang Wang became, because every word and action of his would affect more people.
He doesn't view the attention of the world as capital, but as a responsibility.
But to do something clear and beneficial for the whole world, he was willing.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Whether in desolate lands or amidst calamity, it remains the same.
To promote the Star Road Technique, there is no better platform than the Tai Xu Pavilion, and there is no better identity than a member of the Tai Xu Pavilion. Zhong Xuan said in a deep voice: "This secret technique, through the promotion of the Tai Xu Pavilion, the reputation of the Tai Xu Pavilion will be elevated to an unimaginable level. We will all benefit from this."
He didn't need to be more direct—with Xiao Shu dead and the Dan Nation destroyed, Jiang Wang could claim credit without anyone being able to refute him. And by virtue of creating and popularizing the Star Path Method, Jiang Wang could instantly become a figure at the level of a Human Race Grandmaster, enjoying a great reputation that no other cultivator of his generation could even dream of!
Let's be realistic, if this secret technique were offered for trade with any hegemonic nation, it could fetch unimaginable riches. A technique that affects all outer sect cultivators could give any power a significant advantage.
But Jiang Wang did not do so.
He unconditionally contributed this secret art and decided on its promotion through the Virtual Reality Conference, throughout the process only praising Xiao Shu's achievements...
At this moment, Zhong Xuan seemed to suddenly understand why so many people supported Jiang Wang, and why he, despite not belonging to any faction, was unanimously elected as the first member of Tai Xu Pavilion by public vote.
You can love him, hate him, despise him even loathe him, but you have to admit—he is a truly reliable person.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The name Jiang Wang means "always trustworthy".
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Is this your promise to Xiao Shu" Huang Sheli asked.
Jiang Wang thought for a moment and said, "I guess so.
Actually, when Xiao Shu died, he did not give any definitive answer.
Because he knew the weight of his promise, he didn't speak lightly.
>
When Xiao Shu died, he had no demands, only expectations.
After traversing thousands of miles, the person who had seen him off tried to respond.

"Let us vote." After a long silence, the drama master spoke solemnly: "Shall we promote the Starry Path under the name of Taixu Pavilion Let us discuss this together."
Please note: The original text was empty.
"What reason could I have to refuse" Cang Ming let out a long sigh: "I fully support this."
Qin Zhichen said, "I think this is an unnecessary vote."
Zhong Xuan respectfully sat upright: “I unconditionally cast my vote for Xiao Shu.”
Today, Dou Zhao behaved rather seriously for the first time. He sat properly and said: “From today onwards, I will remember the name Xiao Shu.”
Huang Sheli always kept her hands raised and never lowered them.
Zhong Xuan's pen danced across the letter, inscribing history: "Then, a unanimous vote."
The Void Illusionary Realm The Chapter of Cultivation – Xiao Shu's Remnants.
These characters appeared before Wei Yu's eyes. He recognized each one, but together they had no meaning.
What is the chapter on Cultivation Who is Xiao Shu After so long in the Tai Xu Illusionary Realm, even reaching fourth seventh place in the blessed land, this is the first time I've encountered such a situation. The safety of the Tai Xu Illusionary Realm is unquestionable.
He opened his mind and felt these words, then caught a message: "According to the Tai Xu Pavilion's decree, any cultivator at the Inner Mansion realm or above who completes any Tai Xu Scroll task can, in addition to the original rewards, receive a legacy from Xiao Shu, the former genius of Dan Guo. By learning Xing Lu Fa, they can complete the chapter of Wai Lou."
The information is very clear, equivalent to the Tai Xu Pavilion gifting this secret technique for free to every Tai Xu practitioner.
What is the chapter of Outer Buildings
Does < > represent the cultivation system of an outer realm
What an astonishing technique this Star Road Method is to dare make such a bold statement!
...better ask Qin Zhishen about it....
Wei Yu's heart moved. Wasn't there a Taixu Pavilion member right beside her Why go far when you could find it close
Then, he exited the Tai Xu Illusionary Realm and looked to the side: "Jiang Zhen... Where is she"
Wei Yu abruptly stood up. The apartment was empty, with not a single trace left behind! ahead and suddenly spoke, "Your Highness has always been very optimistic about the Marquis. He often said that with a talented person like you coming to Qi, it was a blessing for Great Qi. It's just...
