Five Grandmasters, Long Lou’s Strength

The last time he met the Seventh Prince, Jiang Yu, he was still a young man. He brought Meng Qiuhe here to cause trouble. Even though they did not become enemies, it would not make Jiang Changsheng have a favorable impression of him. After all, Jiang Ming had given him many gifts for the same actions.

Right now, Jiang Yu had begun to display the domineering aura of an emperor. The Emperor recuperated all day long and was almost caught by him. The Yang Family had also bowed their heads. As for the Hong Family, they had been executed along with Hong Lie’s rebellion and their entire family was implicated.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Jiang Yu brought Little King Wei into the courtyard. He released his grip, and after Little King Wei bowed to Jiang Changsheng, he went to play with Ping’an.

Jiang Changsheng invited Jiang Yu to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard with a person following behind him. This person was dressed in purple and held a sword in his hand. His gaze landed on Xu Tianji who was grinding not far away.

Hua Jianxin waited on the eaves in the distance. As a member of the White-robed Guards, she did not have to follow Jiang Yu. She only had to protect Little King Wei in the dark.

Jiang Yu smiled and said, “It has been quite some time since we last met. Thank you, Daoist Master, for teaching Ziyu these past few years. I am very satisfied with the growth of his martial arts skills. Daoist Master, you are indeed worthy of your reputation as a martial arts legend.”

Ziyu was the name of Little King Wei, and it was given to him by Jiang Yuan.

Naturally, Jiang Changsheng responded humbly to Jiang Yu’s politeness. Jiang Yu began to talk about the world of martial arts. In his early years, he had also roamed the world of martial arts and yearned for it.

“There are five great Grandmasters in the martial arts world of Great Jing. With the addition of the Daoist Master, there are now six of them. Grandmaster is not in a realm, but a term that is used to refer to the best in the martial arts world. Ordinary martial artists regard the Spiritual Sense realm as a top expert, but they don’t know that there are higher realms like the Heavenly Arrival realm and the Divine realm. Grandmasters are the same as you. They don’t care about worldly affairs. They will only take action if someone causes them trouble. However, compared to the five great grandmasters, you are very young. Your future achievements must be above them.”

Jiang Yu lamented. After obtaining his father’s true qi, his strength had increased greatly, but he still could not see through Jiang Changsheng.

He had asked the White-robed Guards to investigate Longqi Temple, but they did not find any other experts. In other words, as the rumors said, Daoist Master Changsheng was indeed talented and relied on his own cultivation to comprehend. As the Crown Prince, Jiang Yu naturally would not suppress him and would try to rope him in.

As he spoke, Jiang Yu began to talk about Ancient Han. It turned out that the reason why Ancient Han could reverse the situation was because three extremely powerful Grandmasters had appeared, all of whom were invincible. Most of their roles were to take the heads of generals among thousands of troops and horses.

Jiang Changsheng frowned and asked, “Why didn’t Great Jing’s Grandmasters take action?”

Jiang Yu said helplessly, “The martial arts world has its rules. Moreover, they are old. They were not born in the Jing Dynasty, but in the Chu Dynasty. Ever since the Jing Dynasty was founded, the five great Grandmasters have been in seclusion, not caring about worldly affairs. Father also sent someone to invite them, but he was rejected. Grandmasters are powerful. Even if we send troops to encircle and suppress them, they cannot be dealt with. Therefore, we cannot afford to offend them.”

The Jing Dynasty was faced with an awkward situation. Most of the experts still regarded themselves as part of the Chu Dynasty. The Devil Sect used to be at the forefront, so they suffered the most supression.

Speaking of the Chu Dynasty, Jiang Yu was even more talkative. There were still cities of the Chu Dynasty in the western region, located in the middle of the Great Jing and another dynasty. He praised the customs and etiquette of the Chu Dynasty.

Jiang Yu’s attitude made Jiang Changsheng mumble in his heart.

What did this guy mean?

As the Crown Prince, shouldn’t he hate the Chu Dynasty?

Jiang Changsheng felt that something was amiss, but he could not ask directly.

Jiang Yu suddenly smiled and asked, “Daoist Master, which do you think is better the Chu Dynasty or the Jing Dynasty?”

Jiang Changsheng said, “I’ve never lived in the Chu Dynasty, so I won’t comment if I don’t have anythign good to say.”

Jiang Yu smiled and said, “That’s true. In fact, some things should also be passed down. Alright, it’s time for me to leave. Daoist Master, let’s talk again next time.”

He stood up and left with the purple-robed man.

Taking advantage of the fact that Xu Tianji was not in the courtyard, Wang Chen came over and whispered, “Daoist Master, the mother of the Seventh Prince, Consort Li, is the last princess of the Chu Dynasty. It is understandable that he has a favorable impression of the Chu Dynasty.”

Jiang Changsheng said calmly, “I see. Even so, he is about to become the Emperor of the Jing Dynasty, so he should not praise the previous dynasty like that.”

Wang Chen frowned and felt that it made sense.

Jiang Changsheng said, “He mentioned that the five Grandmasters did not wish to assist the Jing Dynasty because they were from the Chu Dynasty. How do you think he should resolve the problem of the three Grandmasters of Ancient Han?”

Wang Chen’s expression changed drastically. He was so angry that his chest heaved as he whispered, “He wouldn’t dare… Father… the Emperor is still here!”

Jiang Changsheng said, “But the Emperor won’t live for long.”

Wang Chen was silent and his hands clenched into fists in his sleeves.

…

In the 36th year of the Jing Dynasty, the Fourth Prince, Jiang Yu, led 100,000 elites to raid the border of Ancient Han. With the help of the former supreme martial artiest, Zong Tianwu, he marched in and killed more than 300,000 enemies, ushering in the largest victory in the war against Ancient Han in years.

The Emperor was overjoyed and conferred Jiang Yu as King Qin, becoming the second member of the royal family to be conferred the title of king.

Jiang Yuan was afraid of the royal family conferring the title of king. The fact that Jiang Yu could be conferred the title of king showed the importance of this achievement.

The world was jubilant, as if they had seen the hope of victory.

This year, Jiang Ziyu and Ping’an were seven years old. Jiang Ziyu had already displayed his powerful martial arts talent, and he could even draw with Huang Chuan, who was a year older than him. This made Xu Tianji call them two little devils.

At noon, Jiang Ziyu went up the mountain accompanied by Hua Jianxin with a fuming expression.

“Master, my brother was sent to the holy land by my father to cultivate martial arts. Before he left, he flaunted to me that the Mahayana Dragon Tower he went to was powerful. He also said if you are inside, you are nothing.”

Jiang Ziyu angrily said, “Master, you must be more powerful than those from the Mahayana Dragon Tower, right?”

Jiang Changsheng rubbed his head and said with a smile, “How would I know? I have never seen the experts from the Mahayana Dragon Tower. Just practice martial arts well. The height of martial arts depends on your own efforts.”

Jiang Ziyu nodded heavily and turned to leave.

Xu Tianji walked over and said, “Daoist Master, I’ve heard of the Mahayana Dragon Tower. It’s said that two of the five Grandmasters of the martial arts world have obtained the inheritance of the Mahayana Dragon Tower. The Mahayana Dragon Tower has stood tall on this land for thousands of years and has experienced many dynasties. Its foundation is unfathomable. Moreover, they come and go like ghosts and rarely do their disciples roam the world.”

Jiang Changsheng asked, “Then can you say something useful?”

Ever since he became a martial arts legend, true qi often surged past the foot of Longqi Mountain, including the Fortune Buddha and the Thirteen Assassins of the Sky. Evidently, the Mahayana Dragon Tower was curious about his martial arts, but since there was no grudge between the two sides, they did not offend Longqi Temple.

Xu Tianji’s expression stiffened. All of a sudden, he thought of something and clapped his hands. “I’ve been to the western region before. I learned my Immortal Deity Technique from the western region. In the western region, I have also heard of the reputation of the Mahayana Dragon Tower. Many tribes even worship the Mahayana Dragon Tower as gods.”

Western region?

Jiang Changsheng was deep in thought.

Jiang Yu had asked his eldest son to go to the Mahayana Dragon Tower to study, which practically meant that he had already internally chosen his eldest son as the future crown prince. For example, Jiang Yuan only recommended the Seventh Prince to go there. However, his eldest son could not hold back and flaunted it to Jiang Ziyu. Perhaps Jiang Ziyu’s halo was too strong.

The reincarnation of the Golden-winged Great Roc…

Born as a king…

The disciple of a martial arts legend…

cEven so, Jiang Ziyu did not obtain Jiang Yu’s greatest favor. The concept of the eldest son of the first wife was deeply rooted. Even if there were concubines who seized the throne, the next generation would still favor the eldest son of the first wife. What happened in the previous case was because Jiang Yuan was being influenced by the Mahayana Dragon Tower and had no choice.

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Xu Tianji did not disturb him and went to spar with his three kids.

It was impossible to lose to a child.

…

Late at night, a figure snuck into Jiang Changsheng’s room.

It was Hua Jianxin.

Hua Jianxin placed her sword on the table and came to the bed. He sat beside Jiang Changsheng and said, “Recently, I heard some special news in the estate.”

Jiang Changsheng did not open his eyes and said, “Tell me.”

Hua Jianxin said, “Jiang Yu wants to restore the Chu Dynasty.”

Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and asked, “Is that true?”

Hua Jianxin whispered, “I can’t be sure for the time being, but there are more and more Chu people in the mansion. Even Consort Li, who was banished to the Cold Palace, has moved to the mansion. In fact, it can be seen that the Chen family relied on Jiang Yu. The Chen family used to be a family of the Chu Dynasty.”

Jiang Changsheng muttered to himself, “What is he after…”

Even though he had already guessed it, Jiang Changsheng still felt that it was ridiculous after confirming it.

How dare he!

Hua Jianxin said helplessly, “I saw Jiang Yu. Even though he is skilled in martial arts, he does not have the heroic spirit of an emperor. He is more like a puppet. He felt that he was powerless to reverse the situation, so he wanted to recover the Chu Dynasty and invited the five Grandmasters to fight against Ancient Han. The strength of a powerful martial artist is really terrifying. Jiang Yu once led the Thirteen Assassins of the Sky to the battlefield, but after returning, they were all severely injured and recuperated for half a year.”

Jiang Changsheng was speechless.

How cowardly.

Why didn’t Jiang Yu ask for help from the Mahayana Dragon Tower? Could it be that this was also the wish of the Mahayana Dragon Tower?

Since they wanted to restore the Chu Dynasty, why would they support Jiang Yuan to establish a dynasty?

He suddenly remembered that Jiang Yuan relied on the Yang Family to establish the dynasty. However, after the dynasty was founded, the Mahayana Dragon Tower wanted to control the Jing Dynasty, so they took action. Could it be that Jiang Yuan was disobedient and caused the Mahayana Dragon Tower to dislike the Jing Dynasty?

“What do you intend to do?” Hua Jianxin asked softly.

Jiang Changsheng said, “Naturally, we want our son to be the Emperor. No matter who obstructs us, it’s useless. My previous actions are not only against the actions of the Emperor, but also against the power behind the imperial power. Since that power wants to interfere with Great Jing, just wait.”

Hua Jianxin frowned and said, “The Mahayana Dragon Tower is really powerful. There are no less than 20 Heaven Arrival realm experts sent to Jiang Yu’s side. I never imagined there would be so many experts in the martial arts world.”

The higher you stood, the more terrifying it was.

Jiang Changsheng looked at the bright moon outside the window and said, “There’s still time.”

The reason why he played low was because he could not gauge the strength of the Mahayana Dragon Tower. At the same time, he wanted Jiang Ziyu to possess the status of a prince in advance and rope in his faction.

He was already very close to the sixth level of the Dao Technique. When he reached the sixth level, he should be able to overturn the Mahayana Dragon Tower.

When he had just reached the fifth level, he was already comparable to a True God. Right now, his cultivation had far exceeded when he had just broken through. He was confident that he could deal with more than ten True Gods. Once he broke through, it should not be difficult to kill a hundred True Gods.

Hua Jianxin no longer reminded him and quietly sat beside Jiang Changsheng.

Even though the two of them were husband and wife in name, they were not really husband and wife. She admired and revered Jiang Changsheng and was already very satisfied with her current life. She did not dare to have any delusions.

Jiang Changsheng suddenly said, “Have you had any doubts about practicing the Heavenly Scripture of the Universe recently?”

Hua Jianxin was overjoyed and hastily said, “Yes.”

“Tell me.”

The moonlight was hazy, and the cool breeze was bleak.

Jiang Changsheng’s spiritual force covered the room, preventing any sound from leaking out. If someone approached, he would be the first to notice it. Therefore, he was not worried about revealing his relationship with Hua Jianxin.
