Chapter Fifteen: If Seeking the Dao, To Tread Upon Danger is

ossible to see anyone more than three steps away. All that could be seen were the flickering lights of weapons, stubbornly standing out against the seemingly endless mist.We had to once again shrink t...With all my heart, I patrol the heavens!

Hu Yan Jingxuan was the mainstay of the grassland true blood family, Hu Yan. He was the current head of the Cang Yu Patrol Office and the strongest real person in the country who broke through the Cang Tu Mirror Wall.

Strictly speaking, within the power structure of the pastoral community, he should belong to the "Council of Elders."

The Joint Synod is a rather complex organization, to put it simply—it basically represents the interests of the major blood tribes on the prairie.

As is well known, for a long time, the prairie has been shrouded in the divine radiance of the present world revered god Cangtu God.

Before the establishment of the Great Kingdom, Cang Tu was already the only true God.

Divine authority reigned supreme, seemingly an eternal truth—but indeed, it was not eternal.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Mu Kingdom, the grassland was still dominated by divine authority.

The founding emperor, Helan Qingtong, paid respects three steps at a time while ascending Qionglu Mountain. There, he received the investiture ceremony at the Cangtu Divine Temple from the high priest. With the support of the Cangtu Divine Riders, he then unified all tribes on the prairie.

From then on, every emperor who succeeded to the throne had to go to Mount Qionglu for his enthronement ceremony.

The Azure Diagram God is at the highest position, representing the divine power of the Divine Crown High Priest. He is the first person on the grassland under the gods.

Under theocracy, both imperial power and the council of elders stand side by side.

The Helan clan and other true blood clans were mutually restrained under the supervision of divine power, sharing worldly power.

For the Cangtu Divine Teachings, this was an idealized power framework that could be passed down for generations. However, in the actual course of history, it failed to achieve its goal of lasting forever.

In the long game of power, the Grand Council was the first to withdraw from the top-tier competition. Its influence gradually waned, and it slowly lost its standing as equal to the Helin Royal Clan, becoming an organization under royal authority. Later, it even became a supporter of the monarchy, being denounced by one god-crown High Priest as a 'Helin dog'.

During the reign of Emperor Wuheng, a significant event occurred: when he ascended to the throne, the Grand Priest of the Divine Crown personally went to the Imperial Court to perform his coronation ceremony. Throughout the entire process, Emperor Wuheng remained seated on his throne and did not show any deference to the priest.

From then on, the status of the Heavenly King's Court and Qionglu Mountain became equal, becoming the two core areas of the vast prairie. The divine authority and the royal authority both achieved a formal and practical coexistence.

Of course, some historians believe that the credit for this landmark event perhaps belongs entirely to Emperor Lie's father, Emperor Muwei Helan Renrui.

But mainstream historians hold the view that Emperor Mullie inherited Emperor Wulie's banner of challenging divine authority, consolidating and expanding on his achievements. It was Emperors Wulie and Mullie together, two monarchs, who jointly established the parallel power structures of secular rule and divine authority on the grasslands.

As far as the present-day Emperor Helan Shanhai of the Pastoral Kingdom, he has crowned Tuhu, the newly appointed High Priest of Divine Mandate, in the supreme royal court! This thoroughly changed the traditional "Divine Appointment" by establishing "Imperial Decree to Gods." From then on, worldly power surpassed divine authority.

Over the years since Da Mu founded the country, the relentless pursuit of progress by the Helan royal family can be discerned in these major historical events.

And the changes in power of "the Presbytery" are written into this very narrative. One could even say – "the Presbytery" itself is a living history book of pastoral affairs.

But no matter how power shifts and influence wanes, the Conclave of Elders remains the most powerful force on the prairie. Its decline is only relative to the monarchy, its influence second only to that of the crown and divine power.

As the face put forward by the Joint Elders Council and serving as the current head of the Cangyu Patrol Yard, Huyan Jingxuan is undoubtedly one of the most powerful figures on the grassland.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Tu Hu can easily command him, and don't think he doesn't enjoy playing with Shen Linjing, who is in a state of reverence.

Whether it's personal skill, individual authority, or the influence of family power and backing organizations, throughout the entire grassland, he is a notable figure.

Gushi Yi came to the prairie alone and actually said he wanted to kill Hu Yan Jingxuan

"Wait, Elder Gu!" Jiang Wang chased out of the tavern and changed to transmission: "Please reconsider! Why did you end up confronting Hu Yan Jingxuan Can you think about it again"

Huyan Jingxuan is a genuine national hero. Jiang Wang himself has personally felt his strength. Can Gu Shiyi, who hails from a small country and travels the world wielding his sword, truly defeat him

Even if this man before us is the world's greatest hero and possesses the strength of the world's greatest true master, figures like Bei Huangfu and Zhonglou Yue are nothing compared to him. His combat power rivals that of Xiang Fengqi, who was invincible back then... Can he truly kill Huyan Jingxuan

I'll truly carry this out. Even if a True Immortal came, they wouldn't be able to leave the grassland!

Jiang Wang had a very good impression of this Brother Gu. He really didn't want to see him fall on the prairie. Although he knew the real person's aspirations were unyielding, he still tried his best to persuade him.

Gu Shiyi's footsteps did not stop, his tone casual: "Brother Jiang, what is your take on the Mirror Stage"

Although it was just a conversation between the two, not reaching a third person's ears, Jiang Wang also thought about it seriously before saying, "The intelligence organization of Jing Guo."

“A fair assessment!” Gu Shiyi exclaimed, and continued, “But when the Mirror World Platform was first established, it wasn't just about being Jing Guo's intelligence agency, acting as a hawk or a hound. It also aimed to uphold justice throughout the world, to replace the San Xing Palace. Behind the eight characters ‘Illuminating all directions, mirroring the world,’ there were originally eight more—‘Just and upright, clear heavens and earth!’”

These eight words... really make one think. Jiang Wang was also a little stunned.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Gu Shiyi continued, "For a period of time, the Mirror World Platform did indeed stand tall with a bright and honorable reputation, trusted by people, and held the authority of 'justice'. But in the long history, these eight characters were eventually erased. It wasn't that the Mirror World Platform wanted to erase them, but that no one believed in them anymore."

Jiang Wang said, "Unless the State of Jing truly unified the world back then, the Mirror World Platform will never be able to achieve these eight characters."

"You are right, belonging to the Jing Guo means being a possession of Jing Guo. This cannot be changed by anyone's will. It would be the same if anyone else were the head of the Mirror World Stage." Gu Shiyi said, "What is your understanding of the Cang Yu Patrol Division"

After some thought, Jiang Wang said: "The Cang Yu Patrol Department in Mu Guo is like the Jing Shi Tai in Jing Guo."

Gu Shiyi strode forward, his bearing imposing: "The Jingse Stage once cooperated with Zhuang Gaoen, accusing you of sorcery. I'm here to tell you, they are all birds of a feather, no difference at all."

Jiang Wang did not deny it.

Gu Shiyi said again, "How is it that Cang Yu's visit to the Imperial Court was treating you Was there nothing excessive about his behavior"

"Because I am not its true enemy, I have no hostility towards the Kingdom of Mu, and pose no threat."

"Good, you see it clearly!" Gu Shiyi said: "These organizations have no feelings or preferences, only gains and losses, national power. Looking at the six countries, Qin's prison department has the worst reputation, which is only because they don't care, and want to act with a bad reputation. In reality, none of them are cleaner than the others!"

“The Mirror World Stage reaches its tendrils into everything, meddling in and controlling it all. The Azure Feather Patrol is the same.”

The other day, someone from the state of Zheng came to see me. It was my useless nephew, the notorious incompetent ruler of the Eastern Territories. The only good thing about him is that he's kind to his people... He told me that Fei Ya, the flying inspector of the Palace of Heavenly Punishment, had been chasing criminals all the way to the state of Zheng. They acted recklessly within Zheng's borders without any knowledge of the situation, completely disregarding the local populace. As a result, thirty-seven people were killed and one hundred sixty-four were injured.

"At first, didn't you think it was a prince or princess of the Zheng State, or some kind of genius caught in the wave"

“No, these 201 people who were caught in the crossfire were just ordinary citizens. Ordinary, normal, everyday people who had not done anything to provoke anyone.”

Gu Shiyi looked at Jiang Wang: "But should I get involved in this matter since you brought it up"

"Stop it! If Brother Gu doesn't care, then no one cares." Jiang Wang said: "But..."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“But we need to think long-term, and things must be done gradually. But because the Mirror World Stage is behind Jingguo, and the Azure Feather Patrol Division is behind Muguo, I, someone without a door, a faction, or background, who hails from a small country, should just bear it, right” Gu Shiyi asked.

He continued, "I'm not questioning you, Brother Jiang. I'm simply stating a universally accepted 'truth,' describing the reality of this society. This is how the world is, isn't it"

After a moment of silence, Jiang Wang said: "Once overseas, a senior who had died in the Maze Realm told me a truth - your truth only exists within the edge of your sword."

"This is a profound saying!" Gu Shiyi said, "But the reason why Gu Shiyi can be respected by heroes all over the world and earn the title of 'Hero' is because I cannot bear to stand idly by. A hero values righteousness above life and death, keeps his promises, carries a sword at his waist, and draws it for those who are wronged! If I don't speak up, no one will speak for them; if I don't draw my sword, they will die in vain!"

Jiang Wang was almost about to clap and cheer for him.

But as a bystander, it's easy to cheer. But who is the one truly risking their life

“I hear that the Illusory Realm is about to reopen, and the Taixu Pavilion will be open, publicly selecting members from all over the world. There will be nine members of the Taixu Pavilion to maintain justice and inspect wrongdoing.” Jiang Wang earnestly advised: “If Brother Gu has the confidence to defeat Hu Yan Jing Xuan, why not compete for this spot The Taixu Pavilion might be able to help you realize your life ideals, and you also meet the selection criteria.”

When Gu Shiyi heard this, he burst into laughter and pointed at Jiang Wang and said, “You are sometimes clever and sometimes foolish!”

Jiang Wang fell silent again for a moment before saying, "Sometimes I wish I were smart, sometimes I wish I were stupid."

>

“You're just saying that,” Gu Shiyi patted him on the shoulder. “You're actually a person who doesn't want to get involved.”

This world-renowned hero, let go of Jiang Wang's shoulder and strode forward: "Don't worry, Brother Jiang, Gu Shiyi isn't a fool, he knows what he's doing! I'm going to kill him, or at least make him know that there's a meddling Gu Shiyi who can kill him! I want him to know respect and fear, and I want the Cangyu Patrol Department to have some rules!"

>Jiang Wang couldn't speak.

The importance of the Azure Feather Patrol need not be overstated. Its headquarters is located in the southern city of the Heavenly King's Court, and it is situated within the core area where grassland nobles gather.

On the outside, it was quite unremarkable. White walls, a narrow signboard, and a door that wasn't very big. There were no decorations in front of the door. It looked like an abandoned government office with few visitors – in fact, there wasn't anyone to be seen nearby.

Upon arriving, Jiang Wang instinctively amplified his hearing. After all, Gu Shiyi was about to do something big. Even as a mere observer, he still needed some information to bolster his sense of security.

When the Awakened One let go, he heard a voice like a report saying: "... last night someone else went mad, running naked into the fire pit, shouting 'burn the gods with—'"

I only heard half of the conversation, I didn't hear the beginning or the end.

Jian Wang's eyes went blurry, and she saw Hu Yan Jing Xuan with his deep-set eyes.

The number one warrior on the grasslands, his robes trailing the ground, exuded a profound aura as he gazed at him with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "To supervise the Azure Feather Patrol is a serious offense. Jiang Wang, how many years do you plan to work here to atone"

At first, Gu Shiyi strode ahead with long steps, while Jiang Wang trailed behind at a distance.

Now Hu Yanjing Xuan suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Wang. Gu Shiyi, however, was the one closer to the yamen. He turned around and looked at Hu Yanjing Xuan's back: "Are you pretending not to see me"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Only then did Hu Yan Jingxuan turn to look at him, his brows furrowing. “Who are you”

“Gu, Shi, Yi.” Gu, Shi, and Yi each reported their names one by one.

“Oh, a renowned hero of the world, currently serving as the grand uncle of the King of Zheng Guo,” Hu Yan Jingxuan muttered, recalling the information he had on this name. Of course, he omitted the more specific and secretive intelligence the Cangyu Patrol Department possessed about this person.

The current head of the Cangyu Patrol Division, rather bored, brushed his sleeves and said calmly: "Looking at the world, Dong Zhen is indeed extraordinary in cultivation. But in front of Mu Guo, it seems to be nothing. I alone have killed countless true cultivators and demons, my hands can't even count them all—"

Beneath the withered and wispy hair on his brow, a gleam of ferocity flickered in the eyes of this prairie's first true master: "Do you think highly of yourself"

Gu Shiyi chuckled and didn't explain himself to the other person. He didn't even speak to him again, only addressing Jiang Wang: "Jiang younger brother, watch carefully! I'll only teach you once — how to kill Dong Zhen!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Gu Shiyi immediately stood side by side with Hu Yanjingxuan.

>

The terrifying power rippled outward, obliterating the view entirely!

Jiang Wang's eyes instantly turned crimson gold, but all he saw was still an endless expanse.

>

The dry yang red child cannot control this battle.

Then, he immediately summoned a celestial being and barely managed to capture a fleeting shadow—Gu Shiyi and Huyan Jingxuan had already charged towards the heavens!

Jiang Wang panicked.

I've already made ample psychological preparations and plan to study hard... You guys should let me see it!

Two renowned figures, fighting like they were stealing a lover's embrace, vanished in the blink of an eye!

Jiang Wang was anxious at the moment, becoming a figure of three realms and stepping into simulation. He ascended to the heavens and charged into the battle circle! With an almost suicidal attitude, he came to observe this battle.

The battle between the top masters of this world, he wouldn't want to miss it for anything.

Stones from other hills can be used to polish your own jade. When it comes to understanding truth, there's no better way than learning from the insights of top-tier masters.

>

For the sake of seeking the Dao, perilous paths are as level ground!

But when he rose to the heavens with unparalleled splendor, all he saw were twinkling stars, celestial bodies converging, and cracks in the sky where galaxies hung. It was as if a complete world was being built before his eyes, unfolding within his perception. As he soared upwards, a whole new set of rules was emerging!

What is this!

Jiang Wang was still in shock when he saw a figure falling at extreme speed!

He instinctively reached out to catch it, but the immense impact force knocked him to the ground, smashing through the bricks and creating a massive pit over three hundred meters deep right in front of the Azure Feather Patrol Office!

Jiang Wang, who was once the most powerful being in the three realms, found himself at the bottom of this pit. He looked up—and saw Gu Shiyi, clad in a black and gold wind-defying robe, standing at the edge of the chasm. He stood like he was on the precipice of a cliff, his long hair flying wildly, his robes billowing in the wind.

At this moment, Gu Shiyi is no longer a human, but a true immortal!

If Jiang Wang wasn't mistaken, in the very instant he soared into the air just now, Gu Shiyi leaped from the real world to the Taoist realm and then defeated Hu Yan Jingxuan.

Everything happened too quickly, too suddenly. His thoughts were completely jumbled, and he had no idea what was going on.

Only then did he lower his head to look. In his arms, the one he had caught... was indeed Huyan Jingxuan!

The illustrious number one master of the grasslands, a figure of power in the country, now lay with his eyes closed, barely breathing. Though not truly killed, he was on the verge of collapse after being overwhelmed.

Jiang Wang looked up again, and Gu Shiyi's gaze fell down. He laughed heartily: "Brother Jiang, just tell me if this method of mine is right or wrong!"

>

He was stunned for a moment before he reacted, realizing that Gu Shiyi was talking about the real way to slaughter the cave.

>

The true method of killing the Slaughter Cave is to achieve the path of derivation, this really can't be refuted... it's really a good way!

Jiang Wang was still thinking about whether he should say something when he heard a crisp voice: "Brother Jiang, I'm leaving first!"

There was no sign of movement, and Gu Shiyi above the pit had vanished.

And in his hand, he felt a surge of strength. Just moments ago, Hulan Jingxuan had been on the verge of collapse, his breath shallow and weak. But now, his blood surged through him, powerful and vibrant, as he stood completely unharmed before Jiang Wang.

Wiping the blood from his mouth, he looked at Jiang Wang: "Are you working together"

“...” Jiang Wang felt rather helpless: "Lord Hu Yan, if I were to say that I was just passing by and was caught here as an audience member, would you believe me"

Why don't you believe me You don't look that out of it.

The ground beneath his feet automatically rose, instantly filling the pit that was over three hundred feet deep. Huyan Jingxuan smoothed down his withered yellow hair and walked into the yamen. "Come in!" he said. "Since Gu Shiyi sent you to deliver a message, he must want to tell me something. He wouldn't have just come here to demonstrate Dao for me, would he"

As I reached the threshold, I couldn't help but utter another curse: "Damn it, I actually thought it was a real fight between humans."insights... to cope with the growing pressure from the hegemonic nation.But on the martial arts platform at the Yellow River meeting, they met each other. No one would show mercy.Just...>What's going...
