Chapter 266: Immortality
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At the mention of Li Yi, the entire court began to whisper to each other. âIn that case, the Dao Ancestor might really be an immortal god?â
âThat should be the case. Otherwise, how can we explain Li Yiâs inheritance? He can indeed control lightning.â
âThatâs right. Li Yiâs strength far exceeds his realm. Itâs unimaginable.â
âIf Fengtian is protected by an immortal god, regardless of whether it is true or false, the hearts of the people will definitely be on His Majestyâs side. It will be greatly beneficial to the development of Fengtian.â
âYour Majesty is wise.â
Listening to the discussion of the officials, Li Yaâs smile deepened. The emergence of the Great God of Salvation had made the officialsâ resistance to the Dao Ancestor disappear. Those who opposed it were afraid that the Dao Ancestor was really an immortal god.
There might be gods above their heads listening. If they slandered the Dao
Ancestor and he found outâŠ
Just the thought of it made them afraid.
After some discussion, Li Ya appointed Li Yi as the Lightning God of Fengtian and issued a public decree to the people.
Not only the Fengtian Sovereign Dynasty, but the other dynasties were also shocked by the Great God of Salvation.
They were the Seven Great Demon Saints, but they were killed by an immortal god without leaving a single corpse!
The forces of the demons in the seas were indeed dissipating, and the dynasties had no choice but to believe it.
On the other side.
Venerable Bai listened to his subordinatesâ report on the cliff. Other than the information about the Great God of Salvation, the masked man also mentioned Emperor Wu Ren.
After Emperor Wu Ren was resurrected, he wandered around the world. As he was too powerful, he rampaged around, causing quite a commotion.
âThe Martial Emperor that we resurrected is now looking for Emperor Wu Ren.
Resurrected Martial Emperors really cannot be regarded as Martial Emperors. They are already a new kind. Once they form a group, it will definitely be a huge blow to the human race,â the masked man said in a deep voice.
The mention of that existence made him furious.
Venerable Baiâs expression became complicated as he asked, âWas I really wrong?â
The masked man braced himself and said, âMartial Emperor Island sacrificed so many martial artists, but it was all for nothing. My Lord, donât walk the path of Martial Emperor Island again. Itâs not worth it. You can do more for the human race. Other than relying on ancient Martial Emperors, the human race must have other methods!â
Venerable Bai sighed.
The masked man added, âFortunately, resurrected Martial Emperors are infertile. Our people have investigated that existence. He tried to find a human woman to reproduce, but he failed. This is also the reason why he is eager to find Emperor Wu Ren. Since they are infertile and are not protecting humans, why should we pursue them?â
Venerable Bai said, âIt seems like the heavens are fair. They gave them an extremely powerful body, but they also cut off the possibility of them forming a race.â
He shook his head and asked, âIn the future, I will no longer pursue the power of the ancient Martial Emperors. I will start searching for Great Jing.â
The masked man was stunned and asked in surprise, âWhy Great Jing?â
Right now, everyone in the world was discussing the Great God of Salvation.
After the disappearance of Martial Emperor Island, no one paid attention to Great Jing other than them. It was as if there was no Great Jing among the human race.
âHow can there be so many immortal gods in this world? If there are, why didnât they save the human race in the past? I think the Great God of Salvation is related to the Dao Ancestor.â
Venerable Bai said meaningfully, âPerhaps the reason why the Dao Ancestor is not ascending to the throne is because he feels that he is not strong enough. Therefore, he is lying low. However, he could not bear to see the human race suffer and could only conceal his identity and take action.â
The masked manâs pupils dilated and he was suddenly enlightened. He suppressed his excitement and said, âIndeed, I was puzzled previously. How could there not be a single human who is talented enough to become a Martial Emperor? If itâs the Dao Ancestor, then it would explain why. Every time the Dao Ancestor makes a move, no matter how strong the enemy is, they will not be his opponent. Also, there are many legends about him that are similar to immortals. He indeed has the talent to become a Martial Emperor.â
âYes, investigate Great Jingâs tracks with all your might. Tell me immediately after you find him. You can put everything else aside.â
After Venerable Bai said that, he closed his eyes and continued to train.
The masked man breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, it was fine as long as the Lord abandoned the plan to resurrect Martial Emperors.
The departure of the Head of Punishment caused a lot of discussion in the imperial court. In the imperial court, the officials were more afraid of the Head of Punishment than they were of Jiang Che. Jiang Che was a wise ruler, but the Head of Punishment was cruel and specialized in helping the Emperor do underground matters.
The discussion continued for several months before the Head of Punishment was gradually forgotten.
It was another year of spring.
Year 51 of the Taihe Era.
In the imperial study, Jiang Che looked up at the spring scenery outside the window. He was already 106 years old, breaking the record for the oldest emperors of Great Jing of all times. Even though he was already so old, he still looked to be in his fifties or sixties.
His longevity had also made the people of Great Jing more optimistic about the future of Great Jing. If a wise ruler could live a long life, Great Jing could continue to soar.
It had been 38 years since they arrived in the Great Wilderness, and the citizens had become accustomed to the existence of ferocious beasts. They were accustomed to a stronger culture of martial arts. By now, Great Jing had officially stabilized.
Jiang Che was suddenly confused.
The land was unified, there were no powerful enemies outside, the dynasty was prosperous and the people were safe. No matter how hard he worked, it was impossible for him to have higher achievements. As for advancing to become a Sacred Dynasty, as the Emperor, he knew the foundation of Great Jing best. He did not see any hope of becoming a Sacred Dynasty soon. It was impossible for Great Jing to become a Sacred Dynasty in his lifetime.
Jiang Che suddenly wanted to rest.
In any case, the dynasty would not be in chaos. After working hard for his entire life, he should relax.
When he thought of the Head of Punishment, Jiang Cheâs heart burned with passion.
If he could live forever, he could work hard to pursue the goal of becoming a Sacred Dynasty.
If he could live forever!
This thought quickly took root in Jiang Cheâs heart and was unstoppable.
A figure quickly entered the imperial study. It was the God of Thieves. He was now a Golden Body realm martial artist and was not far from the Universe realm. His talent was not bad and he sat in a high position. In such a position, he had obtained countless resources, and his realm would naturally continue to increase.
âYour Majesty, those alchemists have arrived. When do you want to meet them?â
The God of Thieves asked respectfully.
Jiang Che stood up and said, âThen letâs go and take a look.â
The God of Thieves wanted to say something but hesitated. He wanted to ask Jiang Che why he did not look for the Dao Ancestor, but on second thought, the Dao Ancestorâs status was transcendent and it was impossible for him to wholeheartedly help Jiang Che refine pills.
Furthermore, what Jiang Che pursued was not a medicinal pill that could increase oneâs strength, but the Immortality Pill!
Time flew by.
Five years had passed.
Jiang Changshengâs clone returned again. There were now 145 pages in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The deeper one went into the Great Wilderness, the more ferocious beasts there were. Even the number of lucky ferocious beasts had increased.
After he sent another clone to leave with the two treasures, he looked at Yang Zhou who was tempering his body in the courtyard.
Mu Lingluo returned to the Mu Family at the beginning of the year. Ye Xun and the Sword God had yet to return, and it was even more so for Jiang Jian and the other two. Jiang Jian and Ye Xun had already reached the Two Grotto-heaven realm, while Pingâan had successfully broken through to the One Grotto-heaven realm.
Bai Qi and the two cat demons also began to prepare to break through to the Universe realm. Everyone was improving.
The territory of Great Jing was also expanding steadily. Interestingly, the current Emperor had started to ignore the state affairs. Because of this, that licentious crown prince had no choice but to take control of the state affairs. From a dandy in the capital in the past, he had become very busy every day. He had no choice. The prime ministers were chasing after him, and he did not wish for Great Jing to collapse. He could only grit his teeth and get busy.
This matter was widely spread among the people.
Most people thought that Jiang Qing would become a fatuous ruler, but they did not expect that after the emperor left him alone, the crown prince would suddenly become competent.
Jiang Changsheng could not criticize Jiang Cheâs actions. After all, he was incapable of concocting a Longevity Pill. Even if he were to tell Jiang Che, he would not give up. After all, from his point of view, the only thing he could pursue now was longevity.
Other than that, Jiang Changsheng enjoyed his current life. It was also pretty good to practice alchemy and look at the vast world.
Seeing him open his eyes, Ji Wujun immediately went to his side and whispered, âDao Ancestor, something has been wrong with the capital recently.
Have you noticed?â
Jiang Changsheng casually said, âYes, it wonât affect me much.â
Ji Wujun couldnât help but be curious and asked, âYouâve found out? Whatâs going on?â
In the past year, she had felt the fluctuation of luck in the capital for several nights, but it recovered as soon as daybreak. The fluctuation was not huge, but it had appeared several times, so she could not help but worry.
âItâs nothing. Donât worry about it. As long as it doesnât hurt the people, you donât have to worry. Moreover, this is the Emperorâs wish.â
Jiang Changshengâs words were casual, but it made Ji Wujun even more curious.
Involving the Emperor?
Bai Qi raised his head and said, âNo wonder I vaguely heard wailing sounds when I went to the capital several nights ago. Moreover, it came from the palace. So it was the Emperor who was behind this. Donât tell me he was possessed by a demon for the sake of immortality?â
Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes again and said, âAs long as he doesnât harm the dynasty, let him be.â
Even if he stopped him, what was the use? Should he force Jiang Che to give up his pursuit of longevity and be at ease?
If he did that, it would only have the opposite effect, unless he wanted to cripple Jiang Cheâs position as the Emperor. However, that would be unfair to Jiang Che.
Ji Wujun lamented, âImmortality is what everyone yearns for. However, even someone as powerful as a Martial Emperor will die of old age one day. Itâs just that his body wonât be destroyed.â
Bai Qi said, âIsnât it more practical to train well and increase your lifespan?â
Ji Wujun said, âEven though the lifespan of an emperor of a Sovereign Dynasty is longer than that of an emperor of a Luck Dynasty, there are still restrictions. It is impossible for their lifespan to be comparable to someone in the Qiankun
Realm; their lifespan might not even be comparable to someone in the Golden Body realm. Even if they were to concede the throne, this luck would still follow them. This is the luck of emperors. Even if they become the emperor of a Sacred Dynasty, they will be trapped by the end of their lifespan. Other than the Martial Emperor who founded a Sacred Dynasty, the emperor of the Sacred Dynasty can only live for at most 500 years.â
Bai Qi grinned and said, âThis is only fair. The heavens are just.â
Ji Wujun did not refute. Everything had its rules.
On the other side.
In the Emperorâs bedroom.
Jiang Che, who was in his undergarments, was lying in the pool, enjoying the nourishment of medicinal ingredients. His head was leaning against a womanâs leg.
This woman was Jiang Cheâs newly-appointed concubine two years ago. Her name was Concubine Yu, and she had a graceful figure and seductive makeup. She was currently massaging Jiang Cheâs head.
âYour Majesty, are the pills of the Little Penglai Sect ineffective?â
Concubine Yu asked in a gentle tone.
Jiang Che closed his eyes and said, âNo, they are all good-for-nothings.â
Concubine Yu rolled her eyes and said, âYour Majesty, why donât we send someone to hunt the Dragon Blood Mountain Tortoise? The Dragon Blood Mountain Tortoise is one of the ferocious beasts that has the longest lifespan in the Great Wilderness. If its blood is refined into a pill, it will definitely increase your lifespan and allow you to live for a thousand or ten thousand years so that you can have more time to pursue immortality..â
