Chapter Ninety-Eight: Alone I Am Incapable, Yet I Move Forwa
ivators from all over who were attracted by the high reward numbered over a hundred as well.More than five hundred cultivators, under unified command, advanced in batches towards Yuheng Peak.>Various...When they parted ways outside Fenglin City, Xiang was still at the Tenglong Realm cultivation level, while Jiang Wang had already achieved the Inner Mansion at that time.
At that time, he went forward to reclaim his past self. He put aside his boastful words and aimed to cultivate within the inner mansion realm, challenging Jiang Wang for the title of undefeated master within the inner mansion.
Jiang Wang also said, he wanted to let someone come and sharpen his sword for him.
Now, several years have passed since he first stepped into the inner court, and in that time, Jiang Wang has become renowned throughout the land.
But the question still remains. For we have not yet forgotten the old covenant.
Over countless starlit nights, and always remembering the spirit monument stained with bloodshed, a conversation unfolds between two young souls.
Though a true battle of the inner sanctums is beyond our reach, let Jiang Wang observe this single sword strike. It alone will reveal the strength of each party—we haven't met in three years, so am I now invincible
Jiang Wang simply said, "Of course."
This is a response to the request.
Toward moved slowly closed his eyes, the past few years of experience like flowing water, when once again opened those dead fish eyes, has already sword light in the eyes, sharp and piercing!
There was no other movement, just raising a finger, quite casually, as if beckoning.
Like splashed ink landscape painting, one stroke unrestrained.
A sudden, piercing shriek tore through the listeners' eardrums.
Many riders who followed the carriage looked up at the sky in response to the sound, but they only saw a tail rainbow rising through the parted clouds.
And in Jiang Wang's eyes, which had turned the color of crimson gold, it was not merely an extreme sharpness, but a precise description. A description of my journey, describing the decay I had faced, the unwillingness to give up, the accidental struggles ahead, and the enduring pain!
In pain, in hopelessness, "Only You" was born.
Jiang Wang clearly saw that a blade, handleless and small, was piercing through the air barrier at a terrifying speed, striking straight towards the sun.
My speed has definitely reached the limit that an ordinary inner sect cultivator can achieve.
But it is not the limit of my sword.
With every breath, my sword, pointed forward, grew faster.
Every time it's superimposed, it flies further and further. It accelerated eighteen times in a row!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
In the end, it even pierced through the Heavenly Winds and escaped from the sight of Emperor Qi Yang's crimson eyes!
With only my own efforts, the inner sanctums of the world are practically unparalleled.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
No wonder he could make everyone in Jian Ge powerless, even making Si Kong Jing Xiao furious and wanting to hang him upside down.
>
Jiang Wang was both surprised and amazed.
Chu Yao even crawled out of the carriage, straining to stare at the sky. After a long while, he asked, "Master, where's your sword Did you lose it"
He casually raised his index finger in response. A sliver of condensed sword light, infinitesimal yet sharp, was swirling at its tip.
"After we parted, you went to Rui country first to test the waters, fearing your skills had grown rusty and you needed to get a feel for things again. Then you went to Luo country, Wan country, and finally to Yujing mountain."
>
Jiang Wang objectively said: "With your killing power in the Tenglong realm, even on Yu Jing Mountain, you would be invincible."
"He continued, 'Those Daoists did not give you any trouble and even hope for your divine presence again. They are very willing to accept the challenge, surpassing those from Jian Ge in strength. After coming down from Yu Jing Mountain and traveling south all the way to Qin State, you achieved your inner palace by the Wei River. Passing through Wu Guan, you went to Yu Yuan, but did not venture too deep. Leaving Yu Yuan, you traveled east, passing through Xuan and Qiao, crossing Chu State, through Li and Yue, until you stopped at Jian Ge.'"
Jiang Wang asked, "Who did you challenge in Chu"
Since it's certain that it wasn't Zuo Guangshu, as his records don't mention anything about me. But if the opponent challenging forward is Qu Shunhua, and if Qu Shunhua doesn't hesitate to use Hetian, then for both of us who are at the Neifu realm, the outcome of the battle is really hard to predict.
He said, "I intended to challenge Xiangbei, but as I was still in seclusion, I missed the opportunity. You are challenging Doumian of the Great Chu State's Protectorate."
>
When Xiang Bei first left the Shan Hai Realm, he chose to retreat. Jiang Wang knew this, but didn't know how long his seclusion had lasted.
After some thought, he said: “Xiang Beitian is exceptionally gifted and domineering. But even with his formidable body, it will be hard for him to withstand the combined attack of you and me. The outcome of your battle hinges on whether you can achieve something at the soul level using your innate double pupils. However, with Longguang Shadou guarding Tongtian Palace, your chances are very low. Of course, I don't know how successful he has been in his closed-door cultivation. My judgment is based solely on our previous encounters.”
"Speaking softly, he said, 'I have traveled from north to south, from west to east. You have only lost one match, against Qin Zhizhen. In that battle, you entered his inner courtyard at the last moment and were defeated badly.'"
Jiang Wangdao: "If you and Qin Zhizhen entered the inner mansion at the same time, Qin Zhizhen shouldn't be your opponent. But he is a person who becomes more terrifying as he goes further. With your current inner mansion state compared to Qin Zhizhen's peak inner mansion realm, the outcome is uncertain."
Of course, with today's perspective, I can accurately judge the strength of the opponent based on my just-executed sword strike.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
She lowered her gaze and said, “Even at the peak of his Inner Mansion Realm, Qin Zhizhen is no match for you at your limit in the Inner Mansion Realm. After all, history has never seen anyone like you. You mean to say that even now, you are still not as powerful as you were at the peak of your Inner Mansion Realm”
Jiang Wang said seriously: "There is a chance to win you back then, but the probability of winning or losing is three to seven."
"You seven, I three" asked Qian Xiang. Jiang Wang smiled but didn't speak.
"Forward, there is no god and no power," sighed Xiangqian weakly, "The road ahead is long and arduous!"
"Aren't you leaving" Jiang Wang asked.
"Forward laughed heartily, "Those who know me are Jiang Qingyang!"
As soon as the voice fell, in the high sky to the east, a brilliant star suddenly flared in the direction where the sword had previously flown!
It was like a sword that had escaped everyone's sight. During the time I was speaking, it had actually killed all the way to the Eastern Azure Dragon Star Region!
Even the oxen pulling the cart, at that moment, were intimidated by its sharpness, and looked up in awe.
And he sang out towards the front, “Qinglong is wood and nourishes my sword!”
The Four Spirits Starfield has always been the most popular choice for extraordinary cultivators entering the Outer Realm. Its stability and potential are undeniable, having been expanded almost infinitely by sages over countless years.
>
The art of flying swords is the ultimate technique for honing our sharpness. It requires a stable landing point above all else.
As he spoke, the starlight tower had already risen before him. With a single sword strike it was formed. This tower soared high into the heavens, seemingly stretching endlessly into the distance. The starlight cascading down bathed even my despondent self in a radiant glow.
I still haven't finished, and its voice said again: "White Tiger belongs to the gold to whet my edge!" So in the Western White Tiger Star Region, stars also shone brightly. Before the long song ended, the star towers of the distant starry sky also followed one after another.
"Vermilion Bird belongs to fire, incinerating my furnace!" "Black Tortoise belongs to water, extinguishing my fire!"
Four starlight palaces lit up in succession, their stellar brilliance intermingling like flowing water. "Sword Formation!"
In the heavens and on earth, a sword cry rang out for me.
Hundreds of cavalry accompanied him, their sabers all rattling in unison.
Even the longing in Jiang Wangshe's appearance had a natural and spontaneous response.
The blade light suspended at the tip of his finger, suddenly burst forth with a blinding flash, like starlight reflected in the sky. When it became clear in everyone's sight, it had transformed into a dragon-shaped sword light without a hilt!
The blade point toward the heavens, rotating silently.
They are simply outstanding, sharp and unparalleled.
In the carriage, Chu Yao blinked her eyes. For the first time, she discovered that her unkempt master was actually very imposing.
Sitting opposite the thin and dark Chu Yao was Bai Yu Xia, her skin as white as a piece of snow jade. At this moment, she seemed stunned.
As a comrade-in-arms who has shared weal and woe with Xiang Qian, I am naturally delighted by his leap forward. But at the same time, there is an unusually complex feeling.
This is a test.
Just like in that old story, the shepherd was sleeping on the hillside while the woodcutter was also sleeping there. When night fell, the shepherd drove his sheep home, their bellies full. But the woodcutter hadn't chopped a single stick of wood.
With a resentful look forward. You should have said it to me earlier! You had me by your side all this time, letting you wallow in despair for so long!
In everyone's perception, Xiang Qian please Jiang Wang looked at a sword, and then slashed through the four floors with one sword. In an instant, he jumped from the peak of the inner palace to the peak of the outer palace. Of course, I did not live up to the style of the ancient flying sword technique.
Only Jiang Wang understood, at that very moment when I made a forward charge, I had already abandoned the effort to challenge the historical record of the Inner Palace realm.
Only Jiang Wang could see the "path" ahead and understood what Xiang Nian was feeling.
If to say "Only you" to Feng Qi is "You are invincible, unrivaled under heaven".
Then the forward you, is “Only you are incapable”.
“Incompetence is a perception.”
After witnessing the world's top talents and understanding the gap between myself and those peerless prodigies.
Be clear about the difficulties in the path you choose. Once you understand, and want to do something, it's possible that you may never be able to complete it in your lifetime.
I possess more talent than the vast majority of cultivators in the world, but compared to figures like Xiang Fengqi and Jiang Mengxiong, I'm merely an incompetent one. I view this objectively. My current situation is incredibly agonizing.
I no longer want to save myself.
Though you may understand that I'm not good enough, but this is just me. In the past, I was living day by day, just getting through each one.
Now, I'm just barely moving forward, thinking "maybe it's possible."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If it really still can't be done at the end, then it doesn't matter.
> Failure is failure, death is death.
In this world, there are the most extraordinary people, but you are not among them. In this world, there are the most captivating stories, but you are an incompetent person.
But there are many incompetent people in the world.
You alone are powerless, but you still move forward.
Admit that you're a failure, admit that you can't succeed. But still move forward. This is the path I'm on.
Jiang Wang fell silent for a moment before saying, "Do you remember the two people I told you about in Qingyang Town One of them was under immense pressure. After breaking through the limits of the Transcendent Realm, he lost two consecutive matches inside the Tenglong Inner Palace, and his performance continued to lag behind. However, I have never for a moment doubted him. You saw the power in his fists, it still bears your mark. He rises and falls with unwavering pride. I believe that In will rise again sooner or later. In fact, you've already seen this on the battlefield."
And the other person you were talking to at that time, after winning the fight for inheritance of the family. At that time, you said you believed that you would definitely achieve final victory. Don't you still not believe it
As long as I put my heart and effort into it, there is always a glimmer of hope in worldly affairs.
This is an example of a translation.
Now I want to tell you, you believe that one day, you will also reach heights you never imagined.
Bái Yù Xiá, who was listening in the carriage, was inspired by these words with boundless fighting spirit.
Even little Chu Yao secretly resolved to strive for three days.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Only Xiang Qian, who was sitting beside Marquis Wu'an, casually retracted his index finger. The peerlessly sharp dragon light vanished, the celestial tower on the horizon disappeared, and his radiance suddenly dimmed.
He was that scruffy, half-awake fellow again.
Let me know if you have more text you'd like translated!
Leaning against the wall listlessly, I twisted around like a pig until I found the most comfortable position. Then, I closed my eyes and mumbled, "Go chase your dreams, hardworking brother."
Of course, Laoshan is a good place. The location of Wuanghou Mansion is very appropriate.
It is said that there was once a villa belonging to Zhou Ying, the Marquis of Pingguo, in this area. Later, for some reason, it was demolished.
To put it in the words of a sparrow, that so-called meticulous site selection by the master craftsman sent by the imperial court is just following old paths! Anyone could have chosen that.
Even further back in history, the Yan family of Lian had also built homes here. It is unknown how long the sparrow of Lian resided within these walls, or if there were any special correspondences associated with it.
Lord Jiang successfully completed his southern expedition, restoring Jinchang to the Summer lands. His return carriage was met with a fervent welcome.
It had been several days since the imperial examinations ended, and officials throughout the land had already formally assumed their posts. As a result, on the road back to his estate, Lord Wuxiang was constantly visited by officials, each regarding themselves as disciples of Lord Wu'an Hou.
Bai Yu Xia was secretly astonished. She had a deeper understanding of Jiang Wang's influence in Xia Di. Perhaps we are exaggerating, but even Gao Xiangye in Yue Di probably wouldn't be any different.
However, Jiang Wang directly hid in the carriage and, under the guise of practicing, completely avoided seeing anyone.
Thousands of red threads intertwine, in this mortal realm. I neither seek to ascend to heaven, nor wish to be bound by earthly ties.
The newly acquired Yu Xintong wasn't suitable for handling these matters. Facing that expressionless, lifeless fish face was a great way to avoid visitors, so he became a driver – after all, sleep was always an option wherever one went. He returned home safely without incident.
Bringing back a few more people livened up the otherwise desolate Old Mountain Hot Springs.
Bai Yu Xia often proactively asked Jiang Wang for advice, and Jiang Wang was not stingy. On the talented young man from Yue country, he actively experimented with different killing techniques.
Chu Yao still studied and practiced martial arts, Lian Que still worked as a blacksmith, and Xiang Qian still slept soundly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Speaking of Baiyu Xia, Xiang Qian, and Lian Que, the three of us can be considered young talents with extraordinary abilities. If we simply talk about cultivation aptitude, Lian Que is undoubtedly the weakest of the three. However, he now controls the Lian Clan, relies on the Qi Court, holds great power, the Lian Clan is developing very well, and with the Mandate of Heaven's Suppression Water, there seems to be heaven's favor, and his cultivation speed is not slow either.
But while others compete with killing arts, Yu alone seeks the Way through forging soldiers.

Jiang Wang was also delighted to shut himself in his house and pass his days.

Whatever happens in the southern regions, changes in the officialdom, or shifts in the overall world order, I remain utterly indifferent.

Apart from my daily practice, I also enjoy spending time with several friends of different personalities. We gather for drinks, play games, discuss current events and historical matters, and indulge in lively conversation. I also teach my young apprentices and occasionally visit the old Iron Cavalry. Furthermore, I write letters every few days.
Such days are fulfilling and comfortable.
Until the end of August, Chong Xuan's fat paper crane flew into the illusory realm.
Even in Xinghe Pavilion, Jiang Wang was still a little embarrassed to meet.
It wasn't until Chongxuan received a letter that he realized what had happened with Mingkong Hanshan. When I went to Jin'an County, I specifically told Tiqi to station there, but on the return journey, they completely forgot about me.
It wasn't until I got back to Laoshan that I remembered, and thought that it wouldn't hurt to go again in a few days.... So I kept putting it off and haven't gone yet.
Zhong Xuanpang was diligently managing his business in Qi State, taking care of Qingyang Town where he came from. After I went to Nanxia for a long time, he said he would work hard but entrusted his fiefdom to Dugu Xiao and his cavalry to Xue Rushishi, not even stepping into the gate of Zhong Xuanpang's fiefdom himself.
"Well, that Nínkōng Hán Shān of yours," Jiāng Wàng took the initiative. "Very good, very promising."
If it were another time, Chongxuan would have surely heard immediately that I was slacking off and would have given me a cold shoulder. But today, he's just watching Jiang Wang.
Seeing this, Jiang Wang felt extremely uncomfortable and almost wanted to take the blame proactively.
"Let's go back to Linzi." he said.
His expression was calm, his voice was surprisingly hoarse.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
"Alright," Jiang Wang replied first, then asked, "What's up"
...with a smile, he added: "Don't tell him you were crying because the champion Hou beat you and that you went to get revenge."
"The old man is gone," Chong Xuan said.for the White Bone Venerable God.Of course, here, leading the funeral procession is merely using the names of these two gods as a pretense. It's not as if one can truly command them.Logically speaking...
