Chapter 2289: Calm in the face of turbulent seas

The previous moment, he had defeated the four greatest martial arts masters in the world and was still under the spotlight, preparing step by step to reach the peak unprecedented in ancient and modern times.

After one sword strike, he entered the heaven again and nearly drowned in the deep sea of ​​heaven.

This sudden inspiration and deceiving journey was full of ups and downs.

Fortune and misfortune in life can change at any time.

Ye Lingxiao was very smart, so of course he could understand the regret hidden in this very light sigh.

But he just squinted his eyes and said, "It's like a dream... What does that mean? Can you take a beating or not?"

"Qingyu! An'an!" Jiang Wang got up and walked out of the training ground with a bright smile on his face: "Master Wu is really amazing! He is so powerful and has a divine mind and a dreamlike mind. I was also fooled by him!"

Ye Qingyu looked at him, speechless for a moment.

Wouldn't it be easier to get along with someone like Jiang Wang without having to worry about the days?

In the demon world, in the world of illusion, at too many moments...

When she yelled to her father for help, she was so frightened that she lost her soul. At this moment, she still felt a little weak, as if her soul was leaving her body.

Jiang Anan circled around Jiang Wang, waving a medical plate with meridians engraved on the front and a star map engraved on the back, pinching here and there: "Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Jiang Wang took off her medical plate and said, "You are studying medicine! How come you have all these things on you? I will send you to Longmen Academy and let you learn from Senior Sister Zhao. Even those who have learned many things cannot learn as many things as you. You are just learning day by day."

After speaking without taking a breath, he dismissed Jiang Anan and smiled at Ye Qingyu, "I'm really fine!"

Jiang Anan muttered, "We can heal our own injuries in the future."

Ye Qingyu pursed her lips, but finally smiled: "Don't we want to witness you reach the top, Master Jiang? Continue now?"

Jiang Wang shook his head: "The previous road is blocked."

He laughed lightheartedly, "But I've got a new idea."

"So where are we going next?" Ye Qingyu said, "Let's go."

"Hey! Hey!" Ye Lingxiao came over yelling, his sleeves fluttering. He looked like an immortal, but he acted recklessly. "I say, don't go too far. How many days have you been hanging around outside? The Lantern Festival hasn't even passed, and the New Year hasn't even come yet. You're leaving me, an old, lonely man, in the mountains. Is that appropriate?"

He grabbed Ye Qingyu and Jiang Anan in each hand and said, "You've been let loose! Come back with me!"

He didn't care why they struggled and just left.

Jiang Wang smiled and made a letter-writing gesture to Ye Qingyu who was dragged backwards. He clenched his fist again and expressed his confidence to Jiang Anan. The three people from Lingxiao Pavilion in the cloud had disappeared without a trace.

The cloud piles in the sea of ​​sky were wiped out one by one.

Bai Yuxia looked over with some concern.

Jiang Wang put down his fist and waved his hand: "Go back! The restaurant cannot be without someone, go and help me take care of the bill."

Lian Yuchan opened her mouth to speak, but Jiang Wangxian said, "I'll give you a month's vacation. You finally have a divine visit, so go back and visit your family. Come back home in glory, show off your power and prestige."

Chu Yao jumped out and shouted, "Master, it's okay. I'm here to witness your journey to the top! You are the strongest!"

Bai Yuxia grabbed him by the collar and dragged him away: "You'd better demonstrate your light-body skills and stop wasting your master's time!"

Chu Yao was carried flying, his mouth full of wind, but he still turned around and shouted: "Master! You are the best in the world! I am waiting for your good news!"

Lian Yuchan looked at her boss, and finally she was entangled in two energies and flew away with the wind.

The boat was full of people, but in an instant Jiang Wang was the only one left.

No matter how many people accompany a person in his life, no matter how many noisy moments there are, most of the time in life, he is always alone.

Loneliness is a normal state of life.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" The Emperor of Wei stood in the center of the parade ground and looked over to ask.

His face, reflected in the skylight, had a vague majesty.

Jiang Wang just said, "See you later, Your Majesty."

Then he leaped forward and disappeared into the clouds.

……

At this moment, Wei State had nothing to do to help Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang can do one thing to help Wei State - walk faster, otherwise if something happens, blood will be spilled here and Wei State will not be able to wash it off.

"Do you think he really has a way out?" Wei Xuanche put his hands behind his back and looked at the sky where only flowing clouds remained.

"I can't judge him anymore." Wu Xun said.

"Looking at his posture, he doesn't look like he just fell from a climb that surpassed the past and present." Wei Xuanche sighed: "Great plans and great undertakings are in vain. Only those who can remain calm are true heroes."

"People who are calm usually don't accept failure, but believe that they can stand up again." Wu Xun said solemnly, "I hope he succeeds."

This sentence reminded Wei Xuanche of many of their past events.

In those turbulent times, didn't they move forward calmly until today?

The road to the top is full of beautiful scenery, but only you know the suffering along the way.

He turned around and said, "I will return to Anyi first and take charge of Longshu. The rest of the matter will be handed over to the general."

Wu Xun clenched his fists at his chest and was about to kneel down to salute, but was stopped by Wei Xuanche. He could only bow his head slightly as a sign of respect: "Your Majesty, I obey your command!"

Wei Xuanche patted his arm and said, "Only when I have a general can I have the weight of the country. Without a general, even if I have thousands of borders, I will not be at peace. Be careful in everything."

The sleeves of his robe that seemed to contain the sun and the moon rolled up, and he disappeared.

Wu Xun, who was standing in the center of the training ground, just raised his head little by little.

He looked up, just like the process of a mountain rising. The accumulation of a long time was piled up in this clear moment.

In the huge training ground, there was only this figure wearing a helmet and armor, leaning on a bronze spear in his right hand and holding the hilt of the Daye sword in his left hand. The tiger talisman that was hanging high in the sky and the rising sun slowly sank in front of him, releasing a heavy majesty, waiting for his military order.

"Beat the drums and gather the troops," he said.

The voice was not loud, but the next moment, it was answered by thunderous roars—"Wu!"

Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
When a strong man beats the drum, the sound can be heard thousands of miles away.

The gates of the entire Wansang military camp were all open. The sound of armor hitting armor was like the sound of waves. The sound of footsteps echoed heavily. All the soldiers in the camp quickly gathered on the training ground.

Throughout the Wei State, military camps continued to raise battle flags and throw open their gates. Teams of soldiers gathered together, gathered their military spirits, leaped like startled dragons, and headed straight for this place.

If someone were to use the Wei territory as a sand table and look down from a high place, he would be able to see the dust and smoke rolling and the blood boiling.

Dragons gathered from all directions. All the warriors in the world went to Wansang!

The gathering of thousands of troops is the stage for military strategists.

Wu Xun stood alone in the center of the training ground, just looking up at the sky quietly.

He is a representative figure of the contemporary "military situation" and he is the world's top martial arts master. He silently counts the passage of time, feels the accumulation of military momentum, and then at a certain moment, he lifts up his military boots.

The sky suddenly darkened, and the sun and moon lost their brightness.

As soon as he lifted his foot, the clouds blocked out the sun. As soon as he put his foot down, he had reached the end of the sky.

This step to reach the pinnacle of martial arts is surprisingly easy.

As the center of the universe, he is far away from the world and out of reach, but he has already reached the highest point.

Rumble!
Thunder rolled thousands of miles into the sky above the State of Wei.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

The strong and sturdy soldiers, with their upper bodies bare, beat the drums with hammers, and the drumbeats became more and more urgent.

How can you tell the difference between the sound of thunder and the sound of drums?
Perhaps they are just one sound.

The long river is also roaring, and the sea of ​​clouds in the sky is surging.

How could one tell whether it was the present world trembling at the newly achieved peak, or it was Wu Xun’s military order that awakened the mountains and rivers?
The Wei soldiers only knew that their great general was beating the drum to gather the troops.

At the moment when Wu Xun reached the pinnacle of transcendence, he raised his left hand and pressed down with his palm——

Then the drums stopped and the thunder ceased.

The huge parade ground was already packed with spears everywhere.

The entire Wansang military camp, with three 50,000-man parade grounds, was filled with soldiers armed to the teeth. In the open space outside the military camp, there were also large numbers of soldiers lined up.

When the drums for gathering troops sound, thousands of soldiers rush to the general's flag. When the drums for gathering troops stop, they set up camp on the spot and form a battle array.

In the Wei State, how many soldiers were there in the legendary "Wei Wuzu" army named after "Wu"? For a long time, its true number was the highest military secret of the Wei State.

People only knew that the Wei court invested a huge amount of money every year in this army, and it remained the same for thirty years, so much so that there was a complaint that "the national treasury was the private treasury of the Wu soldiers."

Today's Wansang Military Camp was probably a military parade.

It took the whole strength of the State of Wei and thirty years of effort to pass through layers of selection and elimination. Only those who were able to stay and enjoy the highest military salary in the country, and whose whole family was honored and who were called "Wu Zu" - there were two hundred thousand of them!
Two hundred thousand soldiers gathered in Wansang today.

The blood and energy merged into a sea in the high sky.

The two tallest watchtowers in the Wansang military camp, facing each other from east to west, had two large flags erected, one reading "Wei" and the other "General Wu".

The wind blows strongly and the flag is unfurled.

Wu Xun stood in the air, his figure erect. Wherever he stood, that was the command platform.

"This place is called 'Wan Sang'. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. When the afterglow of the sunset falls between the west and east, women start cooking in their rooms, and little boys go home naked for dinner. Men who have been busy all day come from afar, carrying hoes and stepping on the ridges of the fields - that's how the place got its name."

The 200,000 Wei Wu soldiers were silent. There was only one voice above the military camp, the voice of General Wu Xun. It was surprisingly peaceful.

But in the next moment, this peace was torn apart.

He said: "In the 3921st year of the Taoist calendar, that is, eight years ago, in Wansang Town, which is the land we are standing on, there was a cult leader named Zhang Linchuan who massacred this place. He killed all 36,377 residents of Wansang Town - the people of our Great Wei. The sun set and there was no more smoke rising from the chimneys."

The Wei general's voice was always low, as if he was telling you a piece of history in a normal way, expressing his feelings and sadness in a normal way, and said: "Zhang Linchuan has been executed, and the Wusheng Sect has been destroyed. The bones of 36,377 people in Wansang Town have long been buried. Wansang Town was also razed to the ground and the current military camp was built. But——"

Wu Xun's eyes swept across the densely packed silent warriors below him: "But their souls were offered to the evil god by Zhang Linchuan as sacrifices. The cause of their death was that their souls were plucked out alive. Regardless of whether they were male or female, old or young, everyone died in great pain."

"Eight years have passed. Many people have forgotten this incident. But the people of Wei remember the people of Wei."

His voice finally rose a little: "I am the Wuzu of the Great Wei, the warriors of the Wei State! I, Wu Xun, want to lead you into the netherworld, find the wandering souls of Wansang Town, and welcome the more than 30,000 wild ghosts of the Wei State back home—"

His voice only became angry at this moment, and it stirred up thunder: "How?!"

"war!"

"war!"

"war!!!"

In the entire Wansang military camp, with two hundred thousand soldiers, there was not a single sound.

The fighting spirit is overwhelming and reaches the sky.

Wu Xun then raised his bronze spear and charged forward, blasting open an ancient bronze door with a ghost head in the void.

The legendary hell was opened.

This is an extremely dark place that features prominently in many mythological stories. It is said that only those who have committed heinous crimes will be condemned here forever.

But the mighty army surged in like a torrent. There were ghosts howling and gusts of cold wind, and then there was dead silence.

It was like the blazing sun through the long night, burning the blood and vital energy to ashes.

This is the day.

Wu Xun preached the truth and led 200,000 Wei Wu soldiers to attack the underworld!
If ghosts stand in the way, kill ghosts; if gods stand in the way, kill gods!
……

……

Jiang Wang left the Wansang military camp of Wei State and headed south. The drums behind him seemed to be seeing him off. The journey was long and arduous, and it was full of difficulties.

But halfway through the journey, there was a flash before his eyes. He first saw the fluttering and then falling robe of the Duke of Great Chu, and then the face of the Duke of Huai.

As soon as the power of the Wei Kingdom was released, the outcome of the battle at the Wansang military camp spread throughout the world.

Just like Jiang Wang’s previous three challenges.

Zuo Xiao personally set up the Heavenly Man Seal for Jiang Wang. He was in the Southern Region and was closely following the battle. Naturally, he knew that something was not right with Jiang Wang.

This kid should have reached the pinnacle after this battle and become the pinnacle of transcendence. And he should have proved his Dao with the posture of the first cave master in ancient and modern times.

From then on, you can look anyone in the eye, anywhere. From then on, there is no more hierarchy, because you are the supreme being, the "king" of cultivation.

But Jiang Wang did not take that step, but went back to the State of Chu.

Zuo Xiao knew something was wrong, so he rushed out immediately.

In the moments of ups and downs in life, seeing the people close to you, even a tough person like Jiang Wang can't help but feel soft inside. He stopped and smiled: "Thank you for your concern, Grandpa Zuo."

Zuo Xiao glanced at him and said, "You can actually laugh."

After a glance, he frowned: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Wang spread his hands and said with a smile: "I accidentally became a celestial being again."

Zuo Xiao released a wisp of Dao power and swam into Jiang Wang's body. He also felt it was quite tricky: "How many people want it but have no way to enter. You have proved it again and again. This really is a great fate with the Heavenly Dao."

Jiang Wang smiled happily: "In my nearly 29 years of life, this is the first time I feel that I am lucky and blessed by heaven!"

Zuo Xiao glanced at him again and flicked his sleeves. The space shifted rapidly and the two of them appeared in the study of the Duke of Huai's Mansion in Da Chu.

It's still the same desk where we first met.

Zuo Xiao was behind the desk and Jiang Wang was in front of the desk.

Duke Huai sat down on the chair and said directly without any nonsense: "My attainments in the art of sealing are no longer enough to solve this matter. Duke Yu has some insights in this regard. I have sent him a message. Please sit here and wait."

Jiang Wang stood there for a while, then said with a smile, "Don't let Guang Shu and Her Royal Highness the Princess know about this."

Zuo Xiao pulled out a thick book from somewhere. The cover read "Detailed Explanation of the Eight Seals of Chaos". He held it with one hand, spread it over the edge of the table, and read it slowly without even raising his head: "I don't need you to teach me."

Jiang Wang then sat down with a smile on his face, and a ball of light from the Yanbu Sword Prison appeared in his palm, where he began to demonstrate swordsmanship.

Zuo Xiao raised his head from the complicated curse and glanced at him: "Aren't you worried?"

Of course, the old man didn't want Jiang to worry too much, and hoped that the young man could calm down and face the critical moments in life. But he was too relaxed, which made the old man angry - how could he make such a mess and put himself in such a difficult situation, and still be so calm?

He simply doesn't know what's wrong!
"I just know that worrying is useless." Jiang Wang smiled calmly: "I will do what I can. For example, ask you for help, wait for Duke Yu to come to help... or practice."
