Chapter 158: No Sun and Moon in the Cave
ritual wisdom was born, Jiang Wang's inner demons took shape.His hand trembled, and black smoke coalesced into a sword, hovering in his grasp.With a misstep, he drew his sword without hesitation and s...Leaving the lawless lands, he exited Yong Kingdom. He made a brief trip to Yun Kingdom, leaving a gift before hastily departing.
The plight of the un-redeemed city made Jiang Wang realize that he still had no right to rest.
The ease and relaxation of the Lingxiao Secret Realm are only temporary illusions.
There is only one Ye Lingxiao in the Cloud Country.
It is true that this individual was recognized as invincible by Dong Zhen at the level of divine presence and acknowledged by Feng Qi. Undeniably, he is a master among masters in this world. However, one man cannot fight against four.
Even Huang Jinmo, who was capable of fighting a real person, said that he was captured when he was caught...
Zui Jun's powerful aura, and Shixiong's dazzling presence, once made him feel a sense of tranquility similar to that in the Lingxiao Secret Realm when he was in Bu Xue Cheng.
The world outside is facing a great wind and snowstorm.

That's why he agreed to accompany Master Zhu in watching the results of Xiao Shu's God-Slaying Divine Arrival, waiting for forty days outside the city without redemption.
>
But that bubble of peace and well-being, was already burst.
One who covets high positions cannot enjoy peace for a day if he fails to attain them.
He was utterly exhausted, but he couldn't afford to linger in comfort.
>
So he just pinched Jiang An'an's cheek lightly and said goodbye to Ye Qingyu.
Leave behind the gifts he prepared, and take away the hardships he has endured.
Apart from a banquet personally prepared by Duke Yu, there was also the blood essence of Huòdòu and the blood essence of Bìfāng. Both were entrusted to Ye Qingyu for safekeeping, allowing her to decide whether or not to consume them and when. She and An'an each received one.
The Immortal Palace warrior had three, but only sent one to Ye Qingyu for protection.
I didn't give the power to Jiang An'an because she's still very young and her mind isn't mature enough to handle the power of the outer levels. If one day she plays around and hurts someone with this Immortal Palace warrior, it would be too late to regret it. In short, a child wielding a weapon is harmful and unhelpful.

The world is in turmoil, a time for ambitious people to make waves and change things.
The frequent movements of various powers, such as the Dan Kingdom, Zhuang Kingdom, Yong Kingdom, Mo School, and Yujing Mountain... are not without reflection.
A giant wave starts from a tiny ripple.
He dared not linger in Yun Guo, fearing it might become the second Bu Xu Cheng.
He did not return immediately, but instead sought out a desolate and deserted place to practice alone.
This place... is exactly where Zhao Xuanyang hid him in the Wuyuan Mountains back then.
It is a volcanic range surrounded by the areas of Tianma Plain, Weiguo, Qinkǔ Academy, and Renxin Hall.
Of course, Jiang Wang didn't go to that ancient demon cave. He simply chose a volcano at random in the vast Wuyin Mountain Range and jumped into it.
Here is the translation of your content:

The entire Mount Wuyin range is uninhabited.
After Zhao Xuan Yang disappeared here, it was lively for a while, but now it has returned to desolation.
No one could have imagined that after this trip to the Mountains and Seas Realm, Jiang Qingyang, who had made a name for himself in Chu State, would choose to live alone here, secluded from the world.
The whole world continues to run along its established path, and it won't change because of Jiang Qingyang's appearance or disappearance.
Everyone continues their own story.
Jiang Wang sat alone in the magma.
Every day is about operating the Dao Yuan, adjusting the isolated world of heaven and earth, exploring the Star Sea, carving the Star Pavilion and Star Road, practicing Dao techniques and swordsmanship, sparring on the Sword Platform in the Taixu Illusionary Realm... as well as reading "The Inscription of a Knife Carving the Sea".
History serves as a mirror, reflecting both our gains and losses.
His confusion sometimes made him want to find an answer in history books.
He believes his confusion, Jiang Wang, is not unique in the world. He thinks that people throughout history should have encountered similar confusions. How did they face and deal with them
He thought about this.
Cultivation, reading, and contemplation.
This goes on and on, day after day...
Jiang Wang was wholeheartedly immersed in this kind of life, sometimes feeling a sense of loneliness, but it would disappear in a blink of an eye.
The sky one person sees, the wind they hear, and the world they feel is not the same as what is experienced among crowds.
All the beautiful and splendid things are hard to last.
Loneliness is the eternal truth of the world.
>
Fireflowers burn the city, dragons and tigers, five senses of hell... All sorts of Dao techniques are used by the mind.
The Huòdòu and Bìfāng Seals, passed down from Huang Weizhen's seal script, delve deeper into the fundamental principles of this art form.

On the Sword Discussion Platform, he remained undefeated throughout his journey and reached the top five outside the outer halls of the Illusory Realm.
Jiang Wang didn't challenge again. He didn't want to let Yi Shengfeng know more about him, and defeating Yi Shengfeng in the Illusory Realm held no meaning for him.
He only wanted the life of Yishengfeng in return for his own.
Yi Shengfeng wasn't in the Shanhaijing at the time, and it seems he had the same reasons.
On the other hand, his swordsmanship practice with Ning Jianke never ceased, constantly refining his skills and deepening his understanding of the Way of the Sword. The same sword held different meanings from the perspective of an outer disciple compared to an inner sect member. And Ning Jianke, at every stage, embodied the most extreme expression of swordsmanship. That was the embodiment of Jian Ge's enduring strength over countless years.

Sometimes Tong Zhongxuan and Xuan Sheng communicated, but he also reminded that they shouldn't bother each other with small matters.
Since the confluence of the Yellow River, he has been consciously or unconsciously entangled in various big and small whirlpools, always running around busily.

Now he is simply temporarily breaking free from the mundane world, stepping out of the turbid society, allowing himself to focus more on his cultivation—although he has never relaxed in the first place.
The ranking of blessed lands in the illusory realm was still declining, which gave Jiang Wang a little concept of time.
Tianzhu Mountain, Shanggu Mountain, Zhang Gongdong Cave, Sima Meishan, Fudi... ranking 61st is Changshan.
Then, in a daze, I understood —
Oh, it's already October 15th.
The volcano erupted five or six times, and ash accumulated to an unknown amount.
Jiang Wang looked at himself, his hair disheveled and face covered in dirt, like a gray rock from the bottom of a magma pool.
Silence, loneliness, coldness.
All that is hot and vibrant, lies dormant beneath the earth.
Perhaps someone is waiting, perhaps no one waits anymore.
>
But it's okay.
He continues.
While Jiang Wang was secluded from the world, dedicating himself to cultivation, people down below weren't idle either.
What does a few months mean
For someone as exceptional as Dou Zhao, it might mean that his cultivation of the Divine Manifestation stage has stabilized and he's begun challenging powerful figures at the Divine Manifestation realm.
For example, in the dispute over the city of Bu Xiongceng, after the dust settled, Yong Guo held onto Bu Xiongceng, and Zhuang Guo ceded everything south of Bu Xiongceng—which of course was not very meaningful.
The state of Zhuang could not, like the state of Yong, erect a formidable fortress overnight in an illegal territory. It was said that they had occupied the land, but in the end, they would have to relinquish it and retreat back to their original borders.
Failure to capture the city of No Redemption meant losing a haven outside the law. Everyone understands this principle.
It is said that a true master from the Mohist school once went to Yujing Mountain. What was discussed specifically is unknown, but in any case, both the Mohists and Taoists have stopped further engagement.
The states of Zhuang and Yong, it seemed, also immediately sobered up. In the end, they only fought a few minor skirmishes, making much noise but little impact.
For example, the conflict between the Kingdom of Jing and the Alliance of Five Northwestern Countries escalated, resulting in several clashes within just a few months.
For example, the snowy country of the extreme northwest, it seems something has happened, completely cutting off news from inside and outside. Outsiders don't know what happened... Perhaps there are not many people who care, after all, the snow country always has a feeling of being detached from the world.
For example, the renowned Yisheng Feng from Nandou Hall rose to prominence. Under the unrestricted killing order issued by the Huai Guo Gong's Mansion, he truly never returned to Nandou Hall once. Completely independent of his sect, he wandered alone throughout the entire Nan Yu region for several months, fighting every day and miraculously surviving!
Even Dou Zhao, who was once invincible at the outer layers and had already achieved the status of a divine immortal cultivator, said that when he was in the outer layers himself, he probably wouldn't have been able to kill Yi Shengfeng.
Of course, given Jiang Wang's understanding of Dou Zhao, he probably just said casually, "That kid is hard to catch." But once the word got out, it took on a different meaning. The true successor of Nandou Hall seemed poised to challenge for the title of the number one floor in the world...
In the end, everything that is supposed to happen is still happening.
Even though Jiang Wang is gone, the world keeps developing.
For example, in the Lingxiao Secret Realm...
Jiang Annan was sitting on the ground, holding onto Chubby Gray and playing with it. With both hands she held onto Chubby Gray's paws, imitating human gestures.
Even Chuihui didn't know what the little master was playing, grinning foolishly there.
Ye Qingyu walked over and sat down in front of Jiang An'an.
"Did you do your homework today" she asked.
"Well then!" Jiang An'an replied confidently.
Ye Qingyu then stretched out her finger and touched Jiang An'an's brow, after a while she said, "Your body has almost recovered, now you can take the monster blood your brother brought back..."
She spread open her hand, as smooth as jade, with two drops of the exotic beast's blood hovering like amber in her palm.
One is for calamity, one is for ambition. Which drop do you want to submit to You can only submit to one drop; too many would be counterproductive.
Jiang An'an had known about this for a long time and was not surprised.
After all, this period of adjusting my body is just to prepare for this day.
She had made up her mind, but there was still some hesitation.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He bit his finger and thought for a moment.
Suddenly, a grey shadow darted out!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The clumsy gray one leaped up, snatching the blood of calamity with lightning speed and turning its head to run away.
As the light of the talisman flickered, a small hand precisely grabbed its neck. Jiang An'an was furious. With one hand on its neck and a sweeping kick to the groin, she sent the vicious dog crashing to the ground.
The little hand fished around in the mouth, snarling: "Spit it out, spit it out for me! This one belongs to Big Sister Qingyu!"
Ye Qingyu: ...
You just weren't sure which one to eat yet How come this one suddenly became mine
The stupid little gray thing kept whining incessantly.

Jiang An'an pouted and said: "My brother said, we each get one..."
Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "I possess the Yun Zhuan (cloud seal), unable to consume this murderous blood. I was originally going to keep it as a memory... but it's wasted. Giving it to Chun Hui is just right."
Although Chunchui was a common dog, after following Jiang An'an and Shan Zhen to taste all sorts of delicacies with spiritual energy, she had already undergone a metamorphosis. She wasn't an ordinary dog anymore… That pounce truly had the swiftness of lightning.
But with Ye Qingyu's skill, if she had intended to stop it, how could it have possibly succeeded in stealing the food
>
It's just that I thought it was a dog that Jiang Wang brought over, and An An had raised it for so long. I just let it be.
"Really" Jiang An'an raised her eyes and asked.
Facing her bright eyes, Ye Qingyu smiled softly: "When has your sister ever lied to you"
Only then did Jiang An'an obediently take the Blood of the Calamity Demon, and under Ye Qingyu's guidance, she sat cross-legged and began to absorb the power of Bi Fang.
"Waaaaaaaaah."
While Jiang An'an was cultivating, Chunhui ran over again, circling Ye Qingyu and whimpering. Its eyes darted back and forth, its tail wagging, as if begging for forgiveness.
Ye Qingyu was both angry and amused, she tapped the dog's head with her finger: "You're stupid, yet you're quite cunning!"
Even though it's unclear whether Chui Hui understood, he excitedly jumped up and down.
More than seven months have passed since the last time the Shan Hai Realm ended.
Since the fall of the city, nearly six months have passed.
And if it were the formidable and sharp-witted general Qi Hong of Sheng Guo, who had assisted Mu Guo in capturing Liyuan City, over a year would have passed.
>
On the 19th day of the eighth month in the year 3919 of the Daoli calendar, Mu Guo, with Sheng Guo's deputy prime minister Meng Wuya at Guan Hetai, accused Shang Guo of being disrespectful to him. With Wanyan Xionglue as his general, Mu Guo led all his cavalry Utu Lu to march straight toward Li Yuan, the border city of Sheng Guo.
>
Jing Guo Xi Tian Shi Yu Xi thought that for Sheng Guo Taizi's birthday, he personally went to Sheng Du Wei Cheng and has been stationed there ever since.
Jing Guo provided Sheng Guo with a steady supply of war resources and even dispatched troops from its vassal states to aid Sheng Guo.
>The confrontation between Musheng and his adversary has lasted for an incredibly long time, stretching on until the present day.
For seven days, the two nations clashed in a brutal war. In half a month, the area around Liyuan City was almost transformed into a bloody quagmire.
But regardless, the Azure God Banner of Mu Guo always fluttered above Liyuan City.
This fortified city, which faced north, remained in the hands of the State of Mù after it was conquered.
Although Shengguo is the first vassal state, it holds an important position within the Dao Men system. However, there is an essential difference between it and the hegemonic nation.
>
Jing Guo certainly wants to consume Mu Guo's vigor.
Is not the nation of Mu Guo taking this opportunity to wear down the blade of Tao Men
After more than a year of war, the Mu Kingdom grew fiercer and more brutal, like a beast gradually revealing its fangs. The god of wolves, eagles, and horses showed his might outside the grasslands.
The mighty nation, however, grew weaker and weaker with each passing battle. Its fatigue gradually became apparent.
Even with the Western Heavens Master remaining to pressure the situation, even with Jing Guo's continuous material support and logistical guarantees, even with the arrival of many Daoist nation troops... Sheng Guo simply couldn't hold on any longer.
Therefore, on October 17th in the third year of the Daoli era (2023 AD),
Jing Guo, with Tian Shi Ying Jiang Hong as its commander, mobilized the four powerful armies: Shen Ce, Zhan Huo, Sha Zhai, and Mie Nan. They marched to Sheng Di and formally declared war on Mu Guo!
Eight of Jing's most powerful warriors were deployed, representing the royal family, Daluo Mountain, Yujing Mountain, and Penglai Island. This was a lineup unprecedented in Jing's history of warfare for a hundred years!
The divine commander Shen Nanqi, the general who cuts down calamities Xun Jiuchang, the general who slays disasters Pei Xinghe, and the general who exterminates difficulties Du Yao are all famous generals of their time.
And all of them came under the command of Nantian Shi Ying Jiang Hong.
應江鴻絕非不通軍陣的強者。此人是在冼南魁之前的神策軍統帥，他得證真君、進封天師後，纔將神策軍兵權交出。在他之後的那一任神策軍統帥戰死萬妖之門後，再接著纔是冼南魁掌軍。
The Mu Guo side was not to be outdone, sending out the renowned general Jin Dan Du. Leading the sixth-ranked Iron Buddha cavalry in the world, he descended south, personally commanding the Mu Guo army to clash with the Jing Guo forces.
Once again, Prince Helan Xionghu led the cavalry of the Wang Tent south, racing day and night to reinforce the front line!
The Temple Gold Crown Priests also sent out three at once.
The high priest of the Cangtu Divine Temple, Beigong Nantú, personally went to Liyuan City to vow to protect the faith's expansion into Zhongyu for the Cangtu God.
A grand-scale war between hegemonic nations has officially begun!
This lineup is even more terrifying than the Battle of the Changan Valley, with as many as five True Monarchs assembled!
The Southern Heaven Master Ying Jianghong, the Western Heaven Master Yu Xi, Li Yuanxie, a powerful member of the imperial clan of Sheng Kingdom, Shen Mian, the Grand Priest who preached and held grand ceremonies, Bei Gong Nantú, and Jin Dun Du, the master of Tie Futu!
Moreover, there are more than ten real people in the world today, and the number of powerful gods who have descended is countless!
Both Jingmu showed a determination to fight regardless of the cost, aiming to settle the boundaries between Beiyuan and Zhongyu once and for all.
The undercurrents of the water, clashing for a year, finally erupted into a tidal wave that shook the very foundations of power!
