Chapter 109: The Crane Is Short, the Duck Is Long
valiant young man: "This is Li Longchuan. He's very good at archery!"Jiang Wang and Li Longchuan looked at each other, and both smiled helplessly.After a brief greeting, Jiang Wang sensed that Chong X...Envy the forest of a country!
Zhuang Gaoxian, of course, knew this name and had even tried to recruit him, but was unsuccessful.
Of course, he also knew that the young man had recently become Jiang Wang's disciple and was practicing with him in Xingyueyuan.
But when will the divine arrival occur
What guts does it take to participate in Jiang Wang's treasonous rebellion
The prevailing state systems in the world today, once they turn against us, would leave our nation nothing but ashes. Even Lin Xian, who once represented our nation at the Yellow River Conference, shouldn't be oblivious to this truth, should he
What kind of benefits did Jiang Wang promise to entice so many people to be blinded by greed and fearless of death
Zhuang Gaoxian couldn't understand it, but this wasn't something he should be considering right now.
When Lin Xian suddenly appeared, he slashed him back with a single blow.
He fell into a bottomless pit of endless killing techniques!
Jiang Wang, Yin Guan, Zhao Ruchen, Xiang Qian, and Zhu Weiyi cooperated seamlessly, each wanting him dead!
As for Zhuang Gaoxian, who suddenly rang the inner courtyard bell, Jiang Wang had already made plans to deal with it.
The Inner Sight Divine Bell is almost a standard secret technique for powerful cultivators on the Yujing Mountain range, so he couldn't possibly avoid researching it. What's more, there's Han Xu's complete interpretation. He even knows the intricate patterns of Zhuang Gaoxian's Inner Sight Divine Bell and all its uses by heart.
But Lin Xian's sudden appearance, with her unrestrained approach, is indeed a better solution at this juncture.
He also made adjustments immediately, seizing this rare opportunity to take the lead and show a strong desire to kill Zhuang Gao.
Faced with such an onslaught, Zhuang Gao Xian could no longer remain hidden!
By now, the strengths of these people have become very clear.
To be frank, they sat down around a table right there, it was like a grand feast fit for the Dragon Palace!
>
With his true cultivation, he couldn't relax even for a moment from beginning to end.
If it was pressed together, it would be unable to stand straight. If it was unfortunately torn apart, its defenses broken, I'm afraid it would be immediately dismembered by the chaotic blades.
He was a man of decisive action, capable of making quick decisions even amidst chaos and confusion. In this swirling vortex of events, he remained focused on the critical point – the killing field of the spirit and soul.
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
Still in that Yancheng courtyard, the celestial spirit of the emperor clashed fiercely with Jiang Wang and Wang Changji.
Zhuang Gaoxian struck the inner chamber's divine bell, manifesting its might, driving back the Thunder Snake, and shattering the Golden Clapper with his fist. For a moment, he surged forward with overwhelming power!
>
Would Jiang Wang ever show weakness
From the time he left his hometown with white hair, until today, every step he took was a hard-won struggle for survival.
He's not afraid of Zhuang Gaoxian going all out, he's just afraid Zhuang Gaoxian won't be willing to fight.
His whole body was engulfed in golden flames, and his soul ignited with divine fire.
This heart is the fire of one's being, above the three-fold fires, making his spirit and soul radiant, vying with the celestial emperor's divine essence!
Then the golden divine fire swirled and coalesced into a robe of gold-threaded brocade, draped over the divine soul. This imbued it with an aura that surged once more.
The secret killing technique of the ancient Emperor's court, Shenzhao Dong Huang Yi!
Dressed in this attire, one resembles the gods. Every move and gesture strikes fear into the hearts of all.
It is an all-around enhancement of the soul's killing power, and under the effect of the Samadhi Divine Fire, its killing power surpasses its original state.
The Six Desires Bodhisattva donned his divine garments. He held a golden cymbal in his left hand and a spirit sword, its blade longing for battle, in his right. With strides so powerful, he marched directly toward Zhuang Gao'en. "Come!" he roared.
The madness in those crimson eyes caused Zhuang Gaoen to step back in trepidation.
This person is truly ruthless in their pursuit of killing him, willing to give up everything.
On this battlefield of souls, he retreated for the first time.
Even with the immense power of the Heavenly Emperor's primordial spirit, he would still yield to the soul of a divine-empowered cultivator.
However, the heavens though vast, within this Flame City's deep courtyard... how could he be allowed!
Wang Changji, dressed in a simple, wide-sleeved robe, clutched his slender and pale hands tightly at this moment.
Boom boom boom!
The entire courtyard transformed into a thunder pool, the thunder pool continuously gathering and compressing the three people's dodging space, like a shrinking arena.
Zhuang Gaoxian couldn't believe it; they were actually going to fight to the death in this soul-killing arena.
One crazier than the other!
>
If three people were trapped in a cage, with no space to move around, they could only huddle together. Even if he were to die here, he would certainly take these two with him before his death. Could it be that they are unaware of this
What could possibly cause such deep hatred
He fought back fiercely in the war of souls to pressure his opponents and wait for a perfect opportunity, but now he couldn't afford to wait any longer.
As Jiang Wang and Wang Changji's attacks grew fiercer, Zhuang Gaoxian was overwhelmed. He let out a long roar, and two phantoms appeared behind his head.
One above, one below.
Above is a crane with long legs and a long neck, surrounded by black flowing light, glittering and twisting into a yin fish.
Below is a black duck with short legs and neck, surrounded by white light, floating like ribbons, curving like a goldfish.
Two spiritual forms coming together form a Tai Chi diagram. In a trance, the supreme principle of heaven and earth is revealed, encompassing the infinite universe.
This is Zhuang Gaoxian's most core divine ability, and also the foundation of his path.
The crane is short, the duck is long!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Though the duck's legs are short, breaking them brings sorrow; though the crane's legs are long, breaking them brings grief.
Thus, cranes become short and ducks become long, the sun and moon hang upside down, confusing right from wrong.
Its core principle is precisely inversion.
Just like the incident in the Fenglin City domain. Jiang Wang, who risked his life to report Bai Gu Dao's conspiracy, became the culprit for uniting Bai Gu Dao to destroy Fenglin City. Zhuang Gao Xian, who allowed the cult to wreak havoc and seized the elixir in one fell swoop, became the righteous king who avenged the people and turned the tide!
>
This is called "the crane short, the duck long."
Such things also serve as his spiritual resources.
Originally, outside the city of Bu Xue, he used this divine power. Through a brief exchange with Huang Jinmo, he captured his aura and concealed it. Then, he unleashed it to kill Mo Jingyu!
He gave Mo Jingyu a chance to strike, and under his deliberate guidance, Mo Jingyu's attack on Huang Jinmo's aura became a fact. After the reversal, Huang Jinmo's aura attacking Mo Jingyu also became a fact!
Under Zhuang Gaoxian's precise control, this breath became Mo Jingyu's fatal cause.
Mojia captured Huang Jinmo, indeed there is solid evidence that Huang Jinmo killed Mo Jingyu!
Throughout his life, he used this divine power to overcome countless crucial moments.
Today, it's just another...
Black and white are reversed, right and wrong are confused!
At this moment, Zhuang Gaoen stepped onto the ship of his life. The Tai Chi diagram of a white crane and black duck was the rudder that governed his fate. Under the determination of true masters in this world, destiny began to turn slowly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The long-legged and long-necked white crane transformed into a short-legged and short-necked black crane, its black light turning into white light, and it became a sunfish.
That short-legged, short-necked black duck became a long-legged, long-necked white duck. Its white light turned into black light, transforming into an evil fish.
This is what is meant by "calling black white and upside down for right side up!"
This miraculous skill has never been shown to the world, and it is now used.
Among Jiang Wang and Wang Changji, he chose—
At this moment, when all was poised for one decisive action to determine the fate of heaven and earth.
He found that Jiang Wang, who had just been wielding the golden staff in his left hand and the sword Ling Changsi in his right, charging forward without fear of death, was now out of the courtyard and behind the Chaotiangué Palace!
Among the people still living in this world, no one knows about his unique and extraordinary ability. At most, Du Ruhui might have some guesses, but he couldn't possibly know the truth.
Then there's only one explanation——
Jiang Wang's choice was entirely guided by his combat instincts. He sensed that he might unleash a killer move, so he retreated first.
He must have escaped countless deaths and fought countless life-and-death battles to cultivate such a sense of combat!
He couldn't possibly turn Jiang Wang upside down and fight him again. At this crucial moment when his divine powers were about to be unleashed, he could only hand it over to the master of this soul-killing arena.
This is a choice with no other options, but it's not the wrong one.
Because this Soul Slaughter Field is the key to the heart-stopping intensity of this Soul War. Without it, even with Jiang Wang's soul power, he would be unable to pose a challenge.
The crane is short and the duck is long, it has already taken effect.
In the courtyard, all attempts to suppress him were reversed. Even the thunder pool in the heavens, like a divine punishment eye, had been turned upside down, striking King Changji!
Boom boom boom!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The raging, tempestuous Thunder Pond, within the spirit world, holds the power to utterly destroy all things.
At this moment, Zhuang Gao Xian was suddenly struck by a realization: behind that aloof-eyed man, yet another thunder pool had sprung up!
And then there's the second, the third, and the fourth!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Five thunder pools shone brightly on the Soul Battleground, with lightning flashing everywhere!
Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He toppled the one in the past, and it was easily taken by one of them, while three others were flying towards him.
What's wrong, the same divine power extracted five times!!!
This thing subverted Zhuang Gaoxian's imagination!
...to the point where he almost forgot, this was the first time since he had removed his "crane short duck long" divine ability that he had displayed it in a critical moment, yet failed to win.
But he was not fixated on the outcome of a single match.
No one in the world has a guaranteed recipe for success, and Zhuang Gaoen can accept that some things are simply impossible.
The cards are on the table, not as expected, but so be it.
The struggle for the throne is not a one-time affair.
No matter what, with the Leichi being overturned and the soul-killing suppression of Shenhun Killing Field instantly lifted, Jiang Wang also retreated outside Chaotiangu. This means...
Freedom!
The Son of Heaven's primordial spirit gained its freedom, and he surged into the heavens without hesitation, breaking free from this predicament. In an instant, he shattered this soul-killing battlefield, left Flame City behind, and returned to his true form!
Dragon and tiger return to one furnace, the Son of Heaven guards the precious body.
At that moment, his Dao body was still falling. Lin Xian, relying on his unfettered divine powers, suddenly appeared and slashed him down from the sky. Zhu Wuyi, Jiang Wang, and others each unleashed their killing moves, preparing to encircle and kill him.
His hand was already empty of a sword, his body and mind in perfect harmony at this moment. His spiritual awareness collided with the spiritual awarenesses of all directions, like a mighty lion battling a pack of wolves. In the midst of the flurry of light and shadow, he raised his left hand and pressed forward with a palm strike!
Endless clouds rose into five-fingered mountains, their palms covering the entire universe in might. They drove back even the true fire of the sun, and with a single strike, they sent me flying along with my gun!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Golden Crow cried in sorrow, Zhu Wei's tiger's mouth was split with blood, his spine cracked the space, and he retreated hundreds of meters in a posture of killing before the gun.
This is still the result of him being constrained by all sides, his killing power reduced to the bottom.
Even the most gifted prodigies of the world cannot compare to his unintentional mastery.
The founder of this lineage, with boundless righteousness and heavenly virtue, passed down the art. Of the nine forms, five are known as "Five Fingers Become Righteous"!
...This is not yet the end.
His right hand stretched and clenched, gathering the energies of Heaven and Earth. Dragons and tigers bowed before him as he unleashed a punch that met the heavens. It was as if he had grasped the very foundation lines of this world, pulling with them the entire space to twist and groan. With a thunderous boom, he sent the dragon's light scattering!
With all our heart and soul, we push forward! Let's spray blood towards the heavens!
This is the Emperor Yongming's transmission, the Celestial Fist of Yin and Yang!
It has to be said, back in the reign of Emperor Yongming, his trust in Zhuang Chengqian was immense. He not only bestowed upon him military power and allowed him autonomy, but also passed down this imperial secret technique.
>
This also shows the magnanimity of a powerful leader. When he was alive, he didn't worry about betrayal at all and allowed his subordinates to have ambition.
If Emperor Yongming had truly been able to achieve great accomplishments and make the Yong nation a hegemon, what Zhuang Chengqian would have gained would be far greater than what he received later by splitting the land and establishing his own country. Perhaps there would have been no need for him to betray in the first place.
So Zhu Taizu once also justified himself, saying, "The blame lies only with the unfilial descendants of Emperor Ming. Zhu had no choice but to do this."
The determined Zhuang Gaoxian was terrifyingly formidable.
You can't tell at all that he's been in several tough battles.
A little dishevelment couldn't hide his strength.
>
Qin Guangwang's curse of burning flames, he endured it in his birth. He allowed his physical body to wither and decay.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
He didn't even look when Lin Xian made that slash.
>
...and with the Qi of Jade Void encircling his body like armor, he charged straight towards Jiang Wang. He was like a runaway chariot, like a mountain shifting horizontally, with absolute force, shattering him apart!
A true master of the present world put forth all his effort, instantly turning the tide. He didn't care about face or reputation. In this moment of seizing a short-term advantage, he suddenly stood up, his intentions undisguised.
Even earlier records are difficult to verify, but throughout the history of Daoli Xinqi, it's unheard of for real people in this world to flee from battles with divine cultivators!
But Zhuang Gaoxian had made up his mind to run away, and who could stop him
"Only to see Jiang Wang's eyes bulge: "Who allowed you to leave!""
All three realms outside the body have become separated, all come to suppress them.
True Fire Realm! Realm of Arhats and Immortals! Hell of Yama's Sword!
Zhuang Gaoxian let out a cold snort, released the Nan Yuan Bei Ze that was suppressing the Heavenly Emperor Sword with a wave of his hand, and with a flick of his robe sleeve, he pointed at Jiang Wang!
Jiang Wang saw three realms opening, but the three realms failed to encompass Zhuang Gao's envy. Instead, in an instant, they pushed him away, allowing him to perfectly dodge Zhao Ruchen's Emperor Sword and the attacks of other heavenly prodigies that followed.
The more you try to hold onto me, the further your power pushes me away.
This is exactly what it means to be going in opposite directions!
Do you feel hopeless!
Here's the translation:

Zhuang Gao's figure soared through the vast expanse of sky, a sneer curling at the corner of his lips. He uttered a powerful incantation: "You dare to attack and kill the rightful emperor, defying the very flow of morality! You criminals will not escape justice! Await divine punishment!"
>
With his undeniable strength, he has overcome the most perilous moment.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Having gathered such a rare group of divine beings, Jiang Wang did create a miracle. He truly proved that they could defeat a real person head-on...
But it's still impossible to kill a real person!
The heavens are vast, and he possesses the grace of a crane's flight and the stride of a duck, diverging in paths north and south. Once he breaks free from his confines, who can possibly hold him back
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
At this moment, he has two choices, both of which have very sound reasons.
The first is to continue fleeing to Taixu Mountain Gate. It's a gathering place for the world's alliances, with numerous true immortals in attendance. There are also powerful cultivators from Jing Guo present. As long as he successfully reaches there, he will be absolutely safe.
The second is to flee back to the State of Zhuang. He is the Son of Heaven of the State of Zhuang, holding supreme power. Once he sets foot within the borders of the State of Zhuang, he immediately controls the situation, mobilizing the world. Mountain power! Water power! Military power! All are in his grasp, inexhaustible to use. The imperial dragon's aura can be replenished even more, practically inexhaustible. These gods who want to surround and kill him are just daydreaming fools.
It's best to be decisive. The most fearful thing is hesitation.
>
Of course, Zhuang Gaoxian wouldn't make such a mistake. With a thought, he would make his choice. Suddenly, their eyes met.
His gaze was captured, and he had to see the hatred in Jiang Wang's eyes.
Eyes met, hatred burned hot.
In those crimson eyes, he seemed to see a yin-yang fish leaping out—
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Zhuang Gao's inner alarm bell, at this moment, rang, ringing an alarm!
This inner scene clock has a mountain and river pattern carved into it. The inscribed characters are "Ren" and "Li".
Benevolence is the teaching of virtue, and propriety is the teaching of etiquette.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
As the emperor, he was always sober.
Simulation is not ultimately real.
Within his own three realms, Jiang Wang could contend with real people.
But beyond the three realms, within the scope of the present world, that figure who perceives the very foundation of the world is the true person of our time.
At a crucial moment, Jiang Wang subtly guided Zhuang Gaoxian without offering him new options. Instead, he steered Zhuang Gaoxian's existing choices in an almost imperceptible direction.
But Zhuang Gao Xian still noticed!
He remembered that Jiang Wang had a supernatural power that he had never shown to anyone, as hidden as his crane-short-duck-long.
He realized that Jiang Wang was currently using this terrifying divine ability, trying to influence his decision and make him go to the Taixu Mountain Gate!
At this moment, a spark lit up his mind, and he suddenly understood so much more.
Yes, the man before us was once the Marquis of Qi. He expanded the territory of the State of Qi and made unparalleled achievements.
This time, the change in the Tai Xu Illusionary Realm was initiated by Qi Ren. The earliest mistake of Xu Ze Ming was being held in Qi Ren's hand.
And precisely what Jiang Wang grasped this time was the timing of his participation in the Taixu Alliance. He gathered so many manpower, made battle preparations in advance, and carried out this mid-way ambush!
Zhuang Gaoxian thought of a terrifying possibility—the entire Tai Xu Alliance was a massive conspiracy. Beyond the division targeting the Tai Xu Mirage, it was also a trap for him, Zhuang Gaoxian!
It is very likely that Jiang Wangci's departure from Qi was just a ploy.
Outside the gates of Taixu Mountain, there may be even more terrifying killing arrays concealed.
"Is that all you call hatred I haven't even spat out a drop of blood! You've wasted the best opportunity. Missed today, there is no tomorrow!"
The valiant and mighty Zhuang Gao Xian, with a cold glance at Jiang Wang, uttered heart-piercing words, and without hesitation, turned and flew towards the Zhuang Nation!
He sat up in bed, startled by a sudden illness.
This shot of chicken blood has revived me, today I'm on fire, youthful and ageless!
