Chapter 70: Jiang Changsheng’s Indulgence, One Person Army

That night, the martial arts experts living in the capital were alarmed. They came to the eaves one after another and looked in the direction of the palace in horror. The pressure that a True God realm expert exuded made everyone tremble.
They originally thought that a mysterious expert had attacked the palace, but seeing that there was no movement in the palace and the imperial guards patrolling outside the palace wall being indifferent, they realized that the mysterious expert might be the Emperor’s subordinate who had just successfully broken through!
“What a powerful aura!”
“There is such an expert in the palace. Could it be the Emperor?”
“It’s possible. It’s said that the Emperor is the personal disciple of the Martial
God of Longqi Temple. He has learned the peerless divine technique, the
Heavenly Scripture of the Universe. His strength is unimaginable.”
“Tsk tsk, Great Jing is getting stronger every year. Even the Emperor is so powerful. It’s difficult to survive in the martial arts world.”
“Isn’t that a good thing?”
The next morning, Jiang Ziyu brought Ping’an to visit Jiang Changsheng.
Huang Chuan also came to the courtyard to check on Ping’an.
Ping’an was still as strong as a bull. He was nearly two meters tall and had thick limbs. The surface of his body emitted a faint cold light. This was because his Astral Qi was attached to the surface of his body, subconsciously protecting his body.
Facing Jiang Changsheng, Ping’an immediately restrained his ferocious aura and sat obediently beside Jiang Changsheng, enjoying his pat on the head.
“How is it? I didn’t mistreat him, right?”
Jiang Ziyu, who was dressed in casual clothes, smiled smugly. After returning to this courtyard, he no longer maintained his status as an emperor.
Huang Chuan lamented, “Is this what it means to be a True God realm expert? He’s really powerful. Even if he doesn’t make a move, I already feel that I wasn’t his match. His true qi is too terrifying, like a ball of raging flames.”
Wang Chen touched his chin and said, “Although he has become a True God, he has lost weight.”
Bai Qi looked at Ping’an with fear. It was really difficult for him to understand. They had actually nurtured a fool into a True God realm expert. Were they afraid that he would go crazy and lose control?
Cultivate me instead!
Bai Qi was extremely jealous.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Not bad. Your meridians and bones are not injured. You’re stronger than the True God realm experts I’ve seen.”
Only the head of the Mahayana Dragon Tower, Xiao Duotian, could steadily suppress Ping’an.
It had to be said that even if one wanted to use resources to create a True God realm expert, one still needed a strong physique to withstand it. The foundation of a True God realm expert still required talent.
Jiang Ziyu smiled and said, “Of course. How can I bear to hurt him?”
Everyone chatted for a while until Wang Chen left with the others. Only Jiang Changsheng and Jiang Ziyu were left in the courtyard. Even Bai Qi was sent
away.
Jiang Ziyu retracted his smile and said, “Father, I’ve discussed the information you sent me previously with the three provinces for a long time and decided to take the initiative to attack. We can’t just sit around and wait for death. Therefore, we’ll start with the Jin Dynasty. Didn’t the Jin Dynasty threaten to kill me? With you and Ping’an around, no matter how many experts they send, they will die. At that time, they won’t be able to back down. In this battle, Xu Tianji, Zong Tianwu, and Yang Zhao will lead many experts. Among them, Yang Zhao is a True God realm expert. He will definitely hit the ground running.”
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “You chose the Jin Dynasty because you want to force them to come to the capital, right?”
Jiang Ziyu chuckled and said, “Father, you said that you would protect me and I would protect Great Jing.”
At this moment, he was like a child in front of Jiang Changsheng.
Jiang Changsheng doted on Jiang Ziyu and did not mind his thoughts. Perhaps it was because he had used him when he was young.
In any case, he could live longer than his son. So what if he indulged him for a lifetime?
“With me around, don’t worry.”
Jiang Changsheng’s words made Jiang Ziyu smile even more. Jiang Ziyu took out a map from his pocket and began to introduce the nearby dynasties to Jiang Changsheng. He was very ambitious. He wanted to sweep through all the dynasties in the world and establish a meritorious deed that had never been done before!
Now that Great Jing had two True God realm experts and Jiang Changsheng, who was even stronger than True Gods, Jiang Ziyu was really not afraid of the Chao Sects.
The father and son chatted for a long time. Most of the time, it was Jiang Ziyu who spoke. When he talked about his aspirations, he was extremely excited. Jiang Changsheng listened with a smile, as if he could see his other life.
If not for the Mahayana Dragon Tower, he would not have been swapped. He was the crown prince who was supposed to be on the throne. Perhaps he would be as heroic as Jiang Ziyu and live a different life. If he were to be the emperor, he had to be the number one emperor in history!
Unfortunately, there were no ifs.
With his childhood experience and his survival system, Jiang Changsheng had already entered a completely different path from Jiang Ziyu. He did not regret it, but instead he enjoyed it.
In September, Great Jing launched its first invasion against the Jin Dynasty. In this battle, the Jin Dynasty sent out 400,000 troops, but they could not stop Great Jing.
More than ten years ago, the Jin Dynasty was defeated by Great Jing. After that, they paid tribute to the latter every year. In addition, Great Jing had annexed
Ancient Han. In terms of national strength, the Jin Dynasty could not be Great Jing’s match.
After lying dormant for a few years, Great Jing erupted with an extremely terrifying aura. It was like a tiger swallowing a sheep, unstoppable.
The good news kept spreading to the Jing Dynasty. Emperor Yang Zhao swept through the enemy with the strength of a True God realm expert, displaying a terrifying dominance that was not inferior to Ping’an. His results also made the martial arts world boil.
At first, most of the people in the martial arts world thought that the Imperial
Court would capture Emperor Yang Zhao and throw him into the Heaven Prison. They did not expect Emperor Yang Zhao to transform into a general who charged into the battlefield and shook the various dynasties. This change stimulated the other martial artists greatly.
Martial artists were valiant and ruthless to begin with. Wouldn’t they be envious of such an opportunity to contribute?
As such, more and more martial artists joined the army. The martial artists who recently joined the army begged the higher-ups in order to participate in the battle, but they were rejected by Jiang Ziyu. He also sent orders to the various armies, saying that there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Why would they need more troops to deal with a mere Jin Dynasty?
In the imperial study.
Han Tianji pointed at the sand table and said, “After annexing the Jin Dynasty, our target should be the Chen Dynasty in the west. The Chen Dynasty is huge and has abundant resources, and there are natural barriers to defend against the other side. Once we take it down, we don’t have to worry about enemies appearing in this direction.”
On the west side of Great Jing, there were three dynasties. From top to bottom, they were North Zhou, Chen, and Nanyuan. The Nanyuan Dynasty was close to the sea and was a small dynasty. Its population was small, so there was nothing to worry about. On the other side of the Chen Dynasty, there were huge mountain ranges that were difficult to climb. Therefore, for many years, the Chen Dynasty only needed to curry favor with the Jing Dynasty. As for the North Zhou Dynasty, there were deserts and plains above it, which was easy to lengthen the battle line.
Jiang Ziyu asked, “You mean that Chen Dynasty might attack us?”
Han Tianji said, “That’s right. According to the information His Majesty has obtained, if two Chao Sects want to join forces to devour Great Jing, they will definitely pass through North Zhou, Outer Nine Provinces, and Jin. However, if that’s all, our battlefront will be concentrated in the north which will be easier to deal with. However, the Chao Sects are not stupid and naturally understands this. If we start a war with the various dynasties and the military forces in the territory are empty, it will be too fatal if the Chen Dynasty suddenly attacks.
We have to be wary of such a situation.”
Jiang Ziyu frowned. Thinking of the situation Han Tianji described, he felt that it was indeed very dangerous.
At this moment, a White-robed Guard came in and handed Jiang Ziyu a secret report. He opened it and his expression changed slightly.
Han Tianji asked, “Did True God realm experts come to the Jingjin Battlefield?”
Jiang Ziyu nodded and said, “That’s right. Xu Tianji and the others were suppressed and had no choice but to retreat. As True Gods, Yang Zhao was actually not his match. Hmph, trash. You still dare to call yourself Emperor
Yang Zhao!”
Han Tianji shook his head and said, “It’s not his fault. How many years has it been since the birth of the True God realm experts of Great Jing? The other party must be from a Chao Sect. Moreover, the ultimate techniques of the Chao Sects are even more profound. How can Yang Zhao compare? However, I guess that that True God realm expert can’t do anything to Yang Zhao, General Xu, and the others. The war will fall into a stalemate, and the advantage is still in our army.”
Jiang Ziyu nodded and asked, “When can providence be condensed?”
Han Tianji said, “It will still take a few years. Providence Towers have been set up everywhere, but the providence of the world is definitely not something that can be condensed by humans. I’m just borrowing the power to guide it.”
Jiang Ziyu took a deep breath and looked at the sand table again, falling into deep thought.
In the 13th year of the Qianwu Era, the Jing Dynasty army devoured many territories of the Jin Dynasty, forcing the Jin Dynasty army to retreat step by step. At this moment, the Northern Zhou Dynasty on the other side suddenly launched a surprise attack and killed their way into the Liang Prefecture of Great Jing. The garrison of the Liang Prefecture could not resist and several cities fell one after another. Jiang Ziyu was furious and sent the White-robed Guards to take Ping’an to the Liang Prefecture.
One person army!
A month later, Ping’an began to massacre the Northern Zhou army. After becoming a True God realm expert, he became even more violent.
Great Jing fought two dynasties alone and was in a pincer attack, but Great Jing still had the upper hand!
In a resplendent hall, red pillars were inlaid with all kinds of gems. A black-robed man sat at the head of the hall. He had a bold golden saber and his hair was disheveled. His entire body emitted a dangerous aura.
He stared at a person sitting on the guest seat on the right and said, “There are three True God realm experts in the Great Jing now, and that Immortal Master Changsheng is close to the Golden Body realm. How should we deal with him?”
The person sitting in the guest seat looked like a scholar. He looked to be in his early thirties, and his face was pale. He also had dark circles under his eyes, making him look rather weak. He waved his fan and smiled. “Your Martial Comprehension Valley and my Star Gathering Tower can gather five True God realm experts, but that Immortal Master Longevity is not easy to deal with. Our Tower Master asked me to tell Valley Master Wei to wait a little longer. What we have to do now is to exhaust the country’s strength. Our Tower Master is currently planning something, and when the time comes, the thirteen prefectures will definitely belong to our two Chao Sects.”
This black-robed man was the so-called Valley Master Wei. He narrowed his eyes and said, “I’m very curious about what your Tower Master planning. Can he invite an old monster at the Golden Body Realm?”
The scholar shook his head and said, “An old monster at the Golden Body realm is elusive. How can we invite him? Only the top three Chao Sects have this ability. Moreover, it’s impossible for Immortal Master Changsheng to be at the Golden Body realm. If he had reached the Golden Body realm, it will definitely cause luck to surge and the world to resonate. How can we not know? He’s at most close to the Golden Body realm.”
He paused for a moment and said, “The Star Gathering Tower will facilitate the alliance of the nine dynasties. With the military strength of nine dynasties and tens of millions of soldiers, it will definitely crush Great Jing. In addition, our Left Emissary has already rushed to the capital of Great Jing. Even if he is not a match for Immortal Master Changsheng, there is still hope for him to kill the Great Jing Emperor without anyone knowing. At that time, Great Jing will definitely be in chaos and we will need time to reestablish the imperial power. We still have plenty of time.”
Valley Master Wei frowned and said, “I know your Left Emissary’s strength. He is indeed very strong, but he can at most fight Xiao Duotian to a draw. If he is discovered by Immortal Master Changsheng…’
The scholar interrupted, “He has the Yin Skeleton with him!”
Hearing this, Valley Master Wei was moved. He stared fixedly at the calm scholar.
“I didn’t expect that the Yin Skeleton would actually be obtained by the Star Gathering Tower. If the upper three Chao Sects finds out about this, you will be in big trouble.” Valley Master Wei sneered.
The scholar smiled and said, “The Martial Comprehension Valley and the Star Gathering Tower are already tied together. Valley Master Wei won’t betray us, right? If the Left Emissary fails, the Yin Skeleton will fall into the hands of the Jing Dynasty.”
Valley Master Wei was stunned for a moment before he slapped his leg and laughed. The scholar also laughed..
