“Senior Sister reincarnated so quickly…”

Jiang Changsheng sighed silently. She had just died for a year and was already reincarnated. On the other hand, his mother had yet to be reincarnated. Perhaps it was because the distance was too far, or was it because every soul reincarnated at a different time?

Jiang Changsheng was just curious and did not spend incense points to calculate. As for Meng Qiushuang’s reincarnation, he did not want to find her. If fate allowed it, they would meet again.

In this life, Jiang Changsheng did not let anyone down, so why would he chase after someone for generations to please them? On the contrary, he had already allowed the people around him to obtain a better life. If they met again and he saw that their situation was not good, he would help them.

Speaking of which, if they really met in the future, should he bring her back and continue let her be the eldest disciple?

Let her work for Longqi Temple for the rest of her life?

When Jiang Changsheng thought of this, he was delighted. He could not help but stretch and sigh. “A day on the mountain is like spring and autumn at the foot of the mountain. The world is really filled with vicissitudes.”

Bai Qi, who was lying at the side, looked up and asked, “Daoist Master, are you bored? Do you want to go down the mountain for a walk? I can accompany you.”

There were only the two of them in the courtyard. White Dragon was not in the courtyard either. Instead, it was dozing on the hill behind the courtyard. It was like a white city wall and was rather majestic.

Jiang Changsheng touched its head and smiled. “Forget it, I’ll continue cultivating. If I’m infatuated with the scenery of the mortal world, my Dao heart will be destroyed.”

He was already invincible in Great Jing. If he went to enjoy himself, he would probably get lost and be addicted. After all, he was only invincible in Great Jing and not truly invincible in the whole world.

Bai Qi widened its eyes and said, “How many years is a person’s life? You are already strong enough to cherish the years.”

Jiang Changsheng glanced at it and asked meaningfully, “You want to wait until I die and monopolize the Earth Spirit Tree, right?”

Bai Qi was embarrassed and quickly shook its head.

“Demon beasts only live longer than humans. Sooner or later, they will also die. The thousand-year-old demons in the world are just legends. In any case, I have never seen them,” Bai Qi said seriously.

Jiang Changsheng said happily, “Since it’s a legend, it might be true. Cultivate well, and you might be the next legend.”

When Bai Qi heard this, hope suddenly burned in its heart.

Was it really possible?

In the 10th year of the Qianwu Era, Jiang Changsheng turned 60 years old. The disciples of the same generation as him were all gray-haired, but he still maintained his 18-year-old appearance. This matter also spread in the streets, causing his incense points to increase faster and faster.

Li Jun had finally completely mastered the Killing God Devil Blade and no longer came to practice martial arts. Instead, he helped Eunuch Li.

On this day, Hua Jianxin led a boy into the hospital.

It was the current Crown Prince, Jiang Xiu, who was six years old this year.

Jiang Changsheng had naturally seen Jiang Xiu before, as Jiang Ziyu had brought him here before.

“Why did you bring him here?”

Jiang Changsheng asked with a smile. He opened his arms and Jiang Xiu immediately pounced into his arms.

“Grandmaster!”

Jiang Xiu also had a Dao pattern birthmark between his eyebrows. This matter had already spread throughout the world. It was said that the Jiang Family had a Fortune Mark.

Jiang Xiu calling him Grandmaster was also Jiang Changsheng’s intention. He planned to hide his relationship with Jiang Ziyu. The Jing Dynasty had been passed down for generations. If others found out that he was Jiang Yuan’s son, it would be too troublesome in the future.

Compared to incoming enemies, Jiang Changsheng was more afraid of trivial matters.

Hua Jianxin smiled and said, “He’s already six years old. I’m prepared to teach him martial arts from today onwards. Don’t worry, I won’t trouble you. I’ll teach him instead. Just give me some pointers when you have time.”

Jiang Xiu shouted, “I won’t, I won’t. I want Grandmaster to teach me.”

His exquisite little face was puffed up with anger, making him look like a girl.

Jiang Changsheng was amused by him and said with a smile, “Grandmaster will not teach you. You didn’t even bring me anything delicious.”

Jiang Xiu scratched his head and smiled foolishly. “I’ll definitely bring delicious food next time.

He then began to wheedle, causing the courtyard to be filled with laughter.

Bai Qi rolled its eyes and thought to itself, ‘He said that he was afraid of trouble, but he is clearly quite happy.’

After a while, Hua Jianxin began to teach Jiang Xiu martial arts. What he practiced was the Heavenly Scripture of the Universe. He had to build up the foundation of his inner strength first.

“Unfortunately, this kid’s martial arts aptitude is inferior to his father’s. It’s difficult for him to achieve anything in the martial arts world.”

Jiang Changsheng checked it for a while before retracting his gaze and starting to cultivate.

In autumn, Longqi Temple was filled with yellow leaves. It was a different mood. There were still many devotees on the mountain with many different identities like high-ranking officials, nobles, commoners, and martial artists.

In the courtyard, Jiang Changsheng was refining pills.

Li Jun stood beside Jiang Changsheng and said in a low voice, “Recently, there have been more martial artists in the capital, and many of them are so skilled that my subordinates can’t see through them. The martial arts examination is not yet here, so I’m afraid something will happen.”

Jiang Changsheng asked, “Where’s Eunuch Li? Why isn’t he here?”

Li Jun replied, “His health is not good, so he is recuperating at home.”

Jiang Changsheng nodded slightly and did not ask further. He had already given Eunuch Li many pills, but his lifespan was coming to an end.

“Daoist Master, you really have to be careful. Those mysterious experts often wander around Longqi Mountain…” Li Jun reminded again.

Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I know what to do.”

Li Jun added, “The secret of Emperor Yang Zhao becoming a True God realm expert is already known to the world. He claims to have drank the blood of a mutated beast called the Ashen Fiend. Many sects searched the world for it, and Emperor Yang Zhao did not expand the Burning Sky Pavilion anymore. He still dominated the southern martial arts world and had no intention of going north. ”

‘Ashen Fiend?’

This was the first time Jiang Changsheng had heard of this name. He could not help but ask about the details of an Ashen Fiend.

“Rumor has it that an Ashen Fiend is a combination of a tiger and a leopard. It has several tails and horns on its head. As for the exact details, I’m not sure as I have never seen it before. And unlike normal demon beasts, Ashen Fiends would save mortals every time it appears. That’s why it’s called a strange beast. Some even call it a god,” Li Jun said after some thought.

Jiang Changsheng looked at Bai Qi and asked, “Have you heard of it?”

Bai Qi raised its head and yawned. “Of course I’ve heard of it. Ashen Fiends are indeed not demon beasts. They are innately powerful and are willing to help others. Although I have never seen Ashen Fiends, I have seen other strange beasts that appear and disappear unpredictably. With just a glance, that fellow disappeared into the mountains.”

Jiang Changsheng found it interesting. There were so many secrets in the martial arts world.

Li Jun was no longer surprised that Bai Qi could speak. Instead, he followed up with a question, wanting to know more about the legends of the Ashen Fiends. After five minutes, Li Jun left and Jiang Changsheng continued to refine pills.

Bai Qi said, “There are indeed more and more experts at the foot of the mountain. I’m afraid someone is secretly pushing them. Otherwise, it’s impossible for them to all circle around Longqi Temple. Do you need me to deal with them?”

As it asked that, it licked its lips. After staying in Longqi Temple, it appeared to have a gentle personality, but in fact, it was a ferocious demon beast.

The corners of Jiang Changsheng’s mouth curled up slightly as he looked at the medicinal cauldron and said, “There’s no need. There aren’t enough people yet.”

Eight years had passed since the battle with the Mahayana Dragon Tower. To Jiang Changsheng, eight years was nothing. To the martial arts world, it was another new era.

It was as if someone could not remember how strong Jiang Changsheng was.

But that made sense. The Jing Dynasty did not have internet, so it did not have a video to prove his strength.

At dusk, in an inn in the capital.

Carrying the wooden box on his back, Lu Chengfeng came to a table and sat down. He took off the wooden box and placed it partly on the table. Then, he called for the waiter to order.

After ordering the food and wine, he silently listened to the gossip of the other martial artists on the first floor.

“Emperor Yang Zhao has really become a True God realm expert?”

“Who knows? He said it himself, but no one in the martial arts world is his match now.”

“Who says there’s no one? The Martial God of Longqi Temple is still here.”

“Immortal Master Changsheng has not appeared for eight years. I wonder how his strength is now.”

“It has been more than 20 years since Immortal Master Changsheng obtained the title of the supreme master of the martial arts world. How old is he now?”

“It’s rumored that Immortal Master Changsheng is proficient in the art of preserving one’s looks. He is an old fart over a hundred years old. Tsk tsk, I wonder how many years he can suppress the martial arts world of Great Jing.” Hearing these words, Lu Chengfeng revealed a complicated expression.

“The person who saved me back then should be that Immortal Master Changsheng. ”

He silently thought back to when he, martial artist from the Heavenly Sect, had chased after Bai Qi. Back then, he had been severely injured. In addition, the Golden-Scaled Jade Leaf was too terrifying, scaring him so much that he directly fled the scene.

After he recovered, the Heavenly Sect gave him another mission because he was one of the few disciples of the Heavenly Sect who had come to Great Jing.

At this moment, a cold laugh sounded. “Immortal Master Changsheng is nothing. He’s just deliberately mystifying things. Let me ask you, have you seen the Mahayana Dragon Tower? Have you seen Immortal Master Changsheng himself?”

Everyone turned around and saw a man in blue sitting by the window, swirling his wine glass with a disdainful expression.

One of the sabbermen mocked, “Oh? If you don’t believe me, then go take a look at the Hero’s Tomb and see if you recognize those martial arts experts.”

The blue-robed man glanced at him and said, “In the martial arts world, a batch of top figures changes in ten years. How can the martial arts world from decades ago compare to today? In the past, even those at the Spiritual Sense realm were considered top experts. What are those Grandmasters before the Jing Dynasty was founded? Everyone, don’t undervalue yourself. The world has changed. It has been sixty years since the founding of the Jing Dynasty.”

For most mortals, sixty years was a lifetime.

His words made sense to many martial artists.

Ever since the Jing Martial Ancestor promoted the trend of martial arts, the martial arts world had become stronger and stronger day by day. After the current Emperor ascended the throne, he emphasized martial arts. Coupled with the existence of the True Martial Pavilion, the number of experts in the royal court had reached an extremely terrifying level. Many ultimate techniques were also passed down in the martial arts world, similarly promoting the development of the martial arts world.

Every month, influential figures and young geniuses would be born in the martial arts world. Even the martial artists who were in it could feel the magnificence of the martial arts era.

A middle-aged martial artist said angrily, “If you’re so confident, do you dare to challenge Immortal Master Changsheng in Longqi Temple?”

The man in blue snorted and said, “Of course not. Although I doubt Immortal Master Changsheng, Huang Chuan from Longqi Temple is indeed a top-notch expert. I can’t doubt him.”

A few months ago, Huang Chuan went down the mountain to look for Ling Xiao and the other disciples. At that time, he defeated a martial arts sect alone and became famous.

When the martial artists in the inn heard this, they all mocked the man in blue. After talking for a long time, they realized that he was just bragging and thought that he was an expert.

The blue-robed man was furious and said, “Although I don’t dare, I know the God of Thieves. The God of Thieves will go to Longqi Temple in seven days and steal the peerless Heavenly Scripture of the Universe. Just wait and see. In at most seven days, Longqi Temple will be sealed off and even report it to the court. After all, Immortal Master Changsheng has an extremely good relationship with the current Emperor.”

These words piqued the interest of the others, and they asked one question after another.

This inn was filled with martial arts practitioners, including the shopkeeper. Therefore, he always pretended not to hear the boasts of the martial arts practitioners. If he directly reported it to the officials and found out it was a lie, his business would not be able to continue.

Lu Chengfeng listened quietly and thought to himself, ‘After Great Jing obtained the inheritance of the Mahayana Dragon Tower, it has become really different. When I came twelve years ago, it was still the martial arts desert. Now that the martial arts atmosphere is rich, the rise of Jing is indeed unstoppable.’

His gaze was suddenly attracted by two martial artists in the corner. The two martial artists were wearing gray clothes with strange beast patterns.

Lu Chengfeng’s pupils constricted as he stared at the strange beast pattern. It was like a tiger leopard baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. However, it had three heads, and on its head were horns that looked like lightning. There were wings on its back, and the strange beast pattern of the two of them was exactly the same.

“The totems of the Goddess Servant Mountain.. Why are they here? The Goddess Servant Mountain is thousands of miles away from Great Jing…
