Chapter 125: A Face Unafraid of Death
ook: "Who are you, and what is your current position"Elder He Fa grasped the balance between deference and aloofness very well. After performing a respectful bow, he proudly declared, “At your request...Leaving Hanging Sky Temple, Jiang Wang suddenly felt a sense of vastness in the world, not knowing where to go.
The Central Plains, Eastern Territories, Northern Territories... even the entire world. While all was in turmoil due to the actions of the three hegemon countries and countless heroes took part, everything seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Speaking of the current chaotic situation, it seems to have started when he was labeled "the Demon Summoner." He could be considered the source of all this trouble. But now that he needs to hide his identity, he's become an observer at this time.
The waves crashed and roared, engulfing everything in their path, yet he vanished under the guise of disappearance, walking towards the distant shores.
But confusion, for Jiang Wang, was always temporary. What mattered most to him was finding a peaceful place to cultivate.
In the end, he chose Zhao.
The State of Zhao was located to the east of Xiangkong Temple and to the southwest of the State of Qi. It was once one of the Nine States that rose to prominence in ancient times, inheriting the legacy of the former dynasty of Youyang.
Of course, nowadays, the so-called "nine countries rising with the sun" is just a joke.

Since last year, the Yang Kingdom, which inherited the most legacy and had the strongest momentum from the former State of Cuoyang, has declined all the way and was finally destroyed in a single battle. As a result, "Nine Nations at Sunrise" is now down to only three nations: Zhao, Chang, and Xu.
All the countries in Dongyu once competed fiercely for the title of "Guchang Zhengshu." Now, they are just as eager to distance themselves from "Guchang."
There is nothing else to it. Times change, and the world shifts. Today, the overlord of the eastern regions is called "Qi."
>
Looking back at history, it's not difficult to find that among the Nine Kingdoms of ancient times, two were personally destroyed by the State of Qi. They were called "Yang" and "Ming".
Needless to say, the Yang Kingdom was famous. The "Zhu He Alliance" was initiated by the Ming Kingdom and eventually expanded to cover the entire region. The Qi Kingdom's green card granted it the right to operate freely in all parts of the East Region.
Now that only three small countries remain of the "Nine Nations Rising with the Sun," it is inevitable that they should tremble before the might of the Qi State.
Needless to say, the X country in the Three Kingdoms is still stationed at Xingyueyuan, ready for war with Xiang country due to Qi country's will. It can be said that "they are throwing their heads and spilling their blood, dedicating a heart of loyalty to Qi."
Therefore, when Jiang Wang arrived in Zhao State, it was no surprise that he heard the same words everywhere and saw people dressed alike.
In a travel inn, Jiang Wang, cloaked and clad in coarse robes, received a 50% discount on his room fee simply because of his authentic Linzi accent. The shopkeeper beamed with smiles, treating him like a distinguished guest.
The allure of worldly wealth and possessions no longer held any sway over him. This event had revealed to him the utter submission of the state of Qi to that of Zhao.
Back then, even though Yang Guo admired Qi greatly, he wouldn't hesitate to make money. Even a mere pavilion chief like Hu Yu dared to steal resources from Chong Xuan's family. Later, Shi Jing, the city lord of Jia City, was blinded by greed and brazenly raised an army to attack Qingyang Town.

And the identity he is showing in Zhao now, is so ordinary. He encounters only ordinary people of Zhao... This is precisely what is most convincing.
There was nothing much to feel about. Jiang Wang simply locked the door and started his evening practice for the day.

Transporting Dao Yuan, organizing the solitary islands of Heaven and Earth, exploring the inner mansion, familiarizing oneself with Dao techniques...

Carrying out all the steps in an orderly manner.
The surprise came unexpectedly —
In his exploration of the Fifth Inner Palace, he came across a most fortuitous secret cache.
Named “Godkiller”, its effect is to increase soul attack power by 10%.
There was no need to wait any longer, this was the best hidden treasure for Jiang Wang.
He decisively took it off.
This time, the Dragon's Pulse roamed into the Five Seas of Wufufu, exploring five inner palaces. It was the fastest confirmed secret treasure discovered in this way, and it can also be considered a stroke of good fortune.
After retrieving the fifth hidden treasure, Jiang Wang did not stop there. Instead, he calmly and quietly continued his evening studies.
This hidden treasure is good, but in the end, all hidden treasures are based on the cultivator's own strength to have a more dazzling performance. If you change an ordinary inner mansion cultivator, you can't even touch the door of the soul attack, and the effect of "隕神" is almost zero.
He was very satisfied with "Fallen God", but one or two hidden differences wouldn't have a significant impact on his current overall combat strength.

Now that the Five Palaces have acquired the Five Divine Abilities, all five Great Hidden Treasures are revealed, and the instant casting of Dao arts from the Five Gates has already been inscribed. The realm within the Inner Palace is almost at its end.
The reason for using the word "almost" is that there is still some room for inward exploration. At this level of combat power, there is still room for improvement.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
But there aren't many left.
Jiang Wang could fully feel his own strength and was confident in facing any opponent. Of course, he couldn't go beyond the building.
After familiarizing himself with the newly acquired "Five Senses Hell" and "Fury" twenty times, Jiang Wang adjusted his own state, returned to the Tao Yuan, relaxed his muscles, allowing himself to return to his peak condition. Then he entered the Tai Xu Illusionary Realm —
Today is the 15th of September, the day of the Tai Xu Illusionary Realm blessed land challenge.
As the master of Hukxi Mountain, one of the Forty-Seven Mountains of Fudi, he will welcome the challenge from the master of Zhanglong Mountain, the 48th mountain of Fudi.
Regarding the opportunity to challenge powerful adversaries in the blessed land, Jiang Wang always seized it. But unfortunately, fate was unkind, and he would always encounter unforeseen circumstances that disrupted his plans. Like last time, during the August 15th blessed land challenge, he spent it inside the Ancient Demon Cave, unable even to connect with the Illusory Realm of Taixu.
Within the blessed land, upon the shadow of the sundial, a line of characters appeared—
The master of the Forty-Eight Auspicious Lands, Zhurongshan, has issued a challenge. Should you accept
Since we're already here...
Jiang Wang decisively agreed.
The sword-testing platform roared into the starry river, colliding with another sword-testing platform with a thunderous crash, merging into one.
Having long been accustomed to this scene, Jiang Wang focused solely on sizing up his opponent, only to discover... it was an acquaintance.
To be precise, he knew the other party, and he believed the other party also knew him in reality, but the two had never interacted.
This man was tall and well-dressed, with a scholarly air reminiscent of ancient Confucian scholars.
Deep-set eyes, a composed expression, bearing a large bow on his shoulders.
It was none other than Tsunimi, who had represented the Song Kingdom at the Yellow River Unrestricted Field during the Huang He Summit!
That very person, with their real name and appearance, appears in this illusory realm... truly a rarity.
Jiang Wang has always been reticent in challenges at the Land of Fortune, or rather, he hasn't had too many opportunities to speak.
Today I couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect to see Mr. Chen here, just as he is in the world, without any disguise."
Nishiki seems not surprised to be recognized, or perhaps he always had the confidence of "who in the world doesn't know me".
At this moment, he unsheathed the great bow with his backhand and said calmly: “A true man does not change his name when he moves, his surname when he settles, his countenance when he is born, or his color when he dies. He is who he is, there is no need to hide it.”
“Mr. Chen, please,” Jiang, who had changed his name and surname, chuckled dryly.
He went to Guanhetai in the afternoon, which means he must have seen the battle where he won the championship.

Jiang Wang didn't want to expose his identity in front of Chen Siwu, so he restrained his full effort and decided to only attack on the soul level this time.
The newfound wrath, the Five Senses Hell, and the mystery of its destruction are not afraid to be recognized.
As soon as the character for "please" fell, the bowstring was already drawn.
Jiang Wang's spirit and soul also stirred.
And immediately, he opened the Mysterious Vault of Doom and summoned the Five Senses Hell.
The Five Senses Hell are: Eye Hell, Ear Hell, Nose Hell, Tongue Hell, and Body Hell.
>
When I open my eyes, all I see is darkness.
Turn a deaf ear to it, and ignore it.
Nose prison, sense of smell is lost.
The tongue is rendered numb, unable to taste any food.
I am imprisoned here, unaware of where this place is or who these people are!
Let oneself be slaughtered!s call wasn't presumptuous.She sat poised, with grace and composure, and countered the Venerable Chongguang: "What do you think, sir"Chongguang Zhenren turned back, and looked at Jiang Wuyou with some...
