Chapter Thirty-Four: Hero Falls Before Rising

utside, Jiang An'an remembered her brother's teachings and asked if they should buy some gifts to take home. Of course, Jiang Wang agreed. Although Jiang Wang paid, all the gifts were chosen by Jiang...Random Recommendation:

The key to transforming a ferocious beast into a demonic beast is the demon clan. One needs to place demon clan members with complete Dao meridians into special formations or artifacts, gradually extracting their Dao power and mass-cultivating numerous ferocious beasts into demonic beasts.

The key difference between a wild beast and a fierce beast lies in their popularity. They need to consume human energy to build their foundation and undergo a transformation. They require freedom and wild growth to achieve this qualitative change. Therefore, they need guidance but cannot be domesticated. They cannot be restrained yet must coexist with humans. Where does the "fierce" in fierce beast come from It ultimately involves bloodshed, a bloody aura, and casualties are inevitable.

Throughout history, how many great men!

The reason why ferocious beasts still exist and methods like cultivating the Life Extension Pill through human casualties are allowed, even becoming the mainstream in this world, ...

Of course, someone had already calculated that.

This method yields far more opening meridians pills than directly refining them with demonic beast cores.

This method's human casualties are far lower than those suffered during battles in the demon realm. Furthermore, those who die in the demon realm are powerful warriors, too many extraordinary powerhouses. Breeding ferocious beasts only requires ordinary people... People are like grass, growing and dying in waves.

History has made its choice.

But although history has made its choice, the wisest have thought of many ways, and countless talented people over a long time have tacitly accepted this as the best choice.

Those who come after, those who are not as intelligent, should they just continue to accept things passively Should they stop thinking

Please note that I only translated the content within the tags and kept the HTML tags as they were.

The pain of the times is not uniform.

The experiences of the ancients and those who came after were not the same.

The young rulers did not oppose the opening meridian body system, they just wanted to maximize the well-being of the people under this system.

The new policies in Xin Zhuang will definitely lead to a reduction in domestic opening meridian pills production, which is the biggest problem at present. But the support of the people, the national unity gained, and the increased enthusiasm of the cultivators of Zhuang Guo...whether these can truly compensate for it remains to be seen by time.

When Jiang Wang was young, after learning the truth about the opening meridian pill, he once thought to himself—

Most of the influential figures in Xincheng were those who had painstakingly cultivated themselves step by step from various city regions. They must have also experienced or felt the pain of being ravaged by ferocious beasts. Among them, there must certainly be some people who, since childhood, cherished the ideal of safeguarding their homeland and its people, with the ambition to alleviate the suffering of all beings.

However, there was nothing.

>

The Zhanguo nation has stood for over three hundred years, yet information about ferocious beasts remains largely unknown to the majority of people.

All the boys who once dreamt of changing the world were ultimately changed by it.

> It's not just the State of Zhuang, nor just the State of Yong; this is true throughout the entire world!

This frightened the young him.

What he saw was an invisible force, a surging torrent. This power was so deeply rooted, so self-evident.

In the three mountains city of Zhuang, he participated in pulling down the Yu Heng. In Songtao city of Xu, he stood silently by watching the beast's nest. In Qi, he couldn't even see the beast's nest, but there were ferocious beasts, all caught and made into a circus for the people to play with.

But the fear from his youth never left him. He just learned to be cautious in the face of hardship and told himself he had to be even more careful.

And today, the attempts of Jiang Wang and Li Jianqiu can be simplified into a question – which side could bring more power to this nation: a hundred cultivators who went from confusion to acceptance, or fifty cultivators who knew the truth about the Kaimai Dan from the beginning

This is certainly not a cure, nor does it even seem to be able to alleviate the symptoms. And it's absolutely impossible to implement worldwide. But for that youthful heart still beating within them, they made the worst-case preparations and decided to begin this clumsy attempt anyway.

Leaving Zhuang State, Jiang Wang went to Chu State for a while.

I prepared some gifts, all specialties from Xingyueyuan and Yunuo. They're not expensive, but they are made with thoughtfulness.

He went to visit the old Duke, to ask after Princess Yu Yun, and spent a few days playing with Zuo Guangxu and Qu Shuncai.

It's true, the atmosphere in Yingcheng is much better without Dou Shou and Zhongli Yan. It feels more cheerful.

These two guys, one is hateful and the other is annoying.

Jiang Wang also unintentionally strayed into Xiangu while wandering, and casually brought up Zhong Liyan's account – big families just take their time with things. Mr. Zhong's request letter had been sent ages ago, but this side was still going through the motions.

Fortunately, Manager Jiang came himself, which saved them a lot of time.

Here's the translation:

The expression on Lord Zhongli's face, the one who offered grains, was rather unsightly. It is unclear what he is displeased about. Could it be for this mere 1000 mora!

When leaving, Jiang Wang thought about it again and again, but ultimately didn't dare to bring up the matter of sparring. Without Zhong Li Yan’s guarantee, he was afraid that Zhong Li Zhao Jia would go overboard if they sparred.

After all, he was only a young man of twenty-three. In the lifetime of a true person, he was like an infant.

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

Donghzhen's lifespan was 1,296 years. He didn't even live to see the end of his first thousand years.

>May the future be long!

Every time he left the State of Chu, it was Zuo Guangshi who saw him off. This time was no exception.

"Are you planning to go wreak havoc next It's a pity, I can't go with you." Zuo Guangshu lacked enthusiasm.

Jiang Wang looked at him: "You're about to ascend, but you can slow down a little."

Zuo Guang said, "You attained enlightenment at the age of twenty-three, yet you ask me to slow down"

“I have to be quick. But you can take your time, why not” Jiang Wang said earnestly, “You are a genius in magic arts, I haven't seen anyone with more talent than you in this area. First, explore all aspects of the Outer Hall Realm to the limit, including Daoism, supernatural powers, and magic techniques. Then go beyond the gap between mortals and immortals, and become a Godly Presence. Once you enter the realm of a Godly Presence, you will be a powerful Godly Presence. It will also make it much easier for you to manage your spiritual domain, which will benefit both your understanding of truth and your journey through derivation.”

Of course, Zu Guangshu knew all this knowledge, but he still listened attentively, nodding vigorously.

Just like that, after listening to the entire lesson, as they were parting ways, Zuo Guangshu suddenly remembered something and said: "Brother Jiang, if you're going to face hardship and tribulation, you can bring Ji Li along."

Jiang Wang thought for a moment before remembering who this person was. He simply asked, "Why"

"I don't know either," Zuo Guangshu said. "She told me that if you go to deal with the disaster, please ask her to accompany you. Maybe it's because Mu Gu Book Academy has been involved in managing disasters for many years."

Jiang Wang asked, "Are you good friends with Ji Li"

"It's not that big of a deal," said Zuo Guangshu. "But do you remember the first time you participated in the Shanhai Realm You took someone else's spot, didn't you"

Jiang Wang thought for a moment: "You mean the prodigy from Mu Gu Book Academy... it was her"

"Indeed." Zuo Guangshu nodded. "At the time, it was my grandfather who spoke to Dean Chen, and Dean Chen asked Ji Li to help me. But later, when you insisted on coming, I switched her out."

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

Jiang Wang casually gave him a whack on the head: "What do you mean I had to come It was you who insisted I come. Would Ji Li be able to lead you to conquer the Shan Hai realm"

Zuo Guangshu shrugged: "If you say so, then so be it."

From Zuo Guangshu's perspective, he did indeed owe Ji Li a favor. Jiang Wang then said, "I understand. I'll remember to treat her later."

"It's not a big deal." Zuo Guangshu smiled suddenly. "If you want to avoid suspicion, it's fine if you don't invite her."

Jiang Wang made a move as if to knock, he hurriedly covered his head.

"Huh"

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

At that moment, Jiang Wang saw in the distance a long dragon of thousands, bearing white banners, winding its way further afield. Ahead of them, four strong men carried a large flat drum, and on top stood a sorcerer with exaggerated attire and painted face. He mumbled incantations and performed a ritual dance.

A large number of soldiers wearing ghost and god masks marched in the ranks, with many powerful figures at the forefront, their auras barely contained.

He lowered his gaze slightly, out of respect, and asked Zu Guangshu, "What's going on over there"

Left Guang looked over with a serious expression: "It's Wu Ling. He explored the Meteor Immortal Forest some time ago and unfortunately died there."

The Great Chu dynasty spanned three thousand years, and its prominent families consisted of four surnames: Zuo, Qu, Dou, and Wu.

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

These four families are the oldest aristocratic clans in Chu, their glory is tied to that of the nation.

Wuling is the grandson of Duke An Guo, a prominent figure among the younger generation of the Wu family. In the Shan Hai realm, Jiang Wang has also fought against him, and his strength is quite impressive.

Judging from past developments, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he is almost certain to inherit the title and become one of the few individuals wielding the highest power in Chu.

Such a person's funeral, no wonder it would be such a large-scale affair, even already too restrained.

Jiang Wang couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

Throughout history, prodigious talents often met untimely ends, and heroes perished before reaching their full potential. It's always a cause for lament.

Wuling was young, but he possessed exceptional talent, intelligence, military strategy, cultivation, and family background. He was destined for a brilliant future.

And yet, such a figure who should have written legends and participated in the tides of history, met an untimely end and was unable to usher in his own era.

Time flies!

"How could this happen" Jiang Wang said, "Someone like Wu Ling must have a lot of protective items on him, right With his experience, he couldn't possibly be unaware of the dangers of the Immortal Burial Forest. He should have been very cautious when exploring. Did something unexpected happen"

Especially the State of Chu has long been responsible for suppressing the Immortal-Slaying Forest, and the Wu Clan, who holds the "evil face" of the Sixth Army of Chu, undoubtedly knows about the Immortal-Slaying Forest better than anyone else in the world today. It is common for strong individuals from the State of Chu to explore the Immortal-Slaying Forest!

Why did someone as important as Wu Ling die so suddenly

"It's hard to say." Zuo Guangshu said, "Duke An has personally gone to Yixian Forest to investigate."

"It's a pity," Jiang Wang said.

He remembered his last visit to Chu State, when he had met Zhongli Yan and Wu Ling drinking together. They probably knew each other well.

If Wuling just had an incident recently, Zhongli Yan probably doesn't know about it yet...

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

"By the way, he went in with his friend Ge Fei." Zuo Guangshu added, "Both sides brought some attendants, but only Ge Fei came out alive. It is said that he has gone mad... and remembers nothing."

This time in Yinxian Forest, it wasn't just one prodigy who had an accident!

And also showcasing its charm at the Yellow River Expo is Ge Fei!

Especially Jiang Wang still remembered, when he chased and killed Zhang Linchuan, Zhang Linchuan was blocked in Yue Guo, it was Ge Fei who intercepted and forced him to retreat...Ge Fei's strength is not to be underestimated, even if he is not as good as Zhang Linchuan, he must be one of the few at the divine level.

The most outstanding of the Wu clan in the Great Chu was Wu Ling. In Yue, no one could surpass Ge Fei. They were both rare geniuses, carrying the hopes of many. But they died and went mad in a simple exploration.

This is truly touching!

Jiang Wang couldn't help but say, "Is Yu Xian Lin so dangerous"

>

Zuo Guangshudao: "Even True Immortals in Yixianlin have died. What's a divine apparition Sometimes, disasters come and no one can do anything about it. This time is indeed unexpected. I haven't heard of any recent changes in Yixianlin. But in Yixianlin, nothing surprising happens."

Think about it, no matter in the demon world, the world of calamity, the illusionary world, or even the border wasteland, has Jiang Wang ever not encountered a life-threatening danger How many times did he flee on the edge of death If he was unfortunately killed one day, then he would be unfortunate. At most, others would just sigh with regret, like sighing for today's Wuling.

Zuo Guangshu also said: "The Six Dangerous Lands each have their own dangers, but the Waters of Disaster might be the most vicious one. So when you go to explore, you must be extremely careful, and don't think that because you've become a real person, you can act recklessly."

“Of course I know,” Jiang Wang said, “The days to come will be good. I cherish my life dearly.”

Here is your text translated into English:

Let me know if you have any other translations you need!

He patted Zuo Guangshu's shoulder and said, "I still want to drink your wedding wine with Shunhua."

With Zuo Guang's many years of experience reading books... This statement sounds especially ominous. It's like saying that something bad is about to happen after it's said.

The little prince thought for a moment and said, "Brother Jiang, I need your help."

Jiang Wang didn't care: "Go on."

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

Zuo Guangshu took off the jade pendant he always wore. The jade was smooth and warm, with a finely carved image of a graceful dancing goddess—the mythical 'Xiangjun' from Chu land.

Chu land was not dominated by Shintoism, but enshrining spirits was still a tradition. Moreover, these were not deities above humanity like those in the pastoral or harmonious kingdoms. They were mountain and river gods bound by the state system. Once the imperial court issued an order, these mountain and river gods would have to tend the fields.

Xiangjun, within the Chu celestial pantheon, is also an incredibly powerful deity.

The young lord of the Chu kingdom presented this extraordinary jade pendant to Jiang Wang: "Wear this, and use the celestial light of the Heavenly Treasure Realm to nurture it every day. When you return to Chu next time, give it back to me. It's very important to me."

"It's no big deal." Jiang Wang put it on immediately and waved goodbye to the nagging younger brother.

To the east of Chu, only Yue was considered a major power.

Master Jiang also bought some gifts in Chu State and went to visit the Bai family in Linyi City, Yue State.

As the shopkeeper Bai has his mother still at home, it stands to reason that he would visit her on his travels through other countries.

"Mother-in-law, please rest assured, Yuxia is doing well. Currently, she is diligently working towards becoming the number one divine being in the world."

“Yes, we partnered to open a tavern in Xingyueyuan. We don't make much profit, just for friends to have a place to gather. Last month we earned about a thousand yuan stones, and that's why I went to Chu State to collect debts.”

"Yes, Yu Xia this person is just too arrogant, he will only return to Yue country if he has achieved something. You must make sure your body is well."

"As for whether he has a favorite woman... well, I'll definitely keep an eye out for you."

When dealing with elders, Daoist Master Jiang is quite skilled.

Because he is the kind of child that parents talk about as "someone else's child." He is talented and excellent in every way. Everyone feels comfortable letting their children be his friend.

As Bai Mu bid farewell at the city gate, Jiang Wang stood alone on the official road outside, contemplating silently for a while.

He said that everything was fine with Bai Yu's jade. Bai Mu Wenjuan also said that everything was fine with the Bai family.

But within the Bai family and throughout the entire city of Langya, could any sound escape Jiang Wang's ears

As far as he could tell, the Bai family wasn't doing too well right now.

Speaking of this matter, it also involves him.

The Bai family of Langya was once a prominent clan in the Yue Kingdom, but their current standing is far from its former glory.

The head of the household, Bai Pingfu, was killed by Zhang Linchuan. The prodigy Bai Yuhua left the country.

That is to say, Madam Zhu Wenjuan hailed from the royal family of Yue Guo. The Bai family had accumulated some wealth over generations, and coupled with the remorse felt by powerful figures in Yue Guo for Bai Pingfu's death... they were barely able to maintain their standing and still hold some influence in Langya City, but they could no longer make decisions on their own.

As for outside the city of Langya... I haven't heard from the Bai family in a long time!

But this February, a shocking battle of divine slaying took place. A group of young heavenly prodigies, with their eyes set on killing, marched for thousands of miles and killed an orthodox celestial emperor who ruled the country.

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

Yet Bai Yu Xie was among them!

Bai Yu Xia, in China, was a heaven-defying prodigy who was suppressed by public opinion.

>

Before I left the country, abandoning my vast family business to become a servant in the Eastern kingdom, this was widely ridiculed. For a long time, people from Yue despised this person.

But unexpectedly, she later accomplished such a great feat! Gradually, there began to be discussions again. Some people remembered how Baiyu Xia had once competed on the River Watching Platform, how she brought glory to the nation, and how she won thunderous applause.

In February, things were still alright because Bai Yu Xia's appearance was only for a few days, and Ge Fei had already taken a significant lead. Everyone knew who to choose.

Until last month, Ge Fei and that Chu State Wu Ling explored Yinxian Forest together, resulting in one going mad and the other dying...

Gradually, carriages and horses appeared in front of Bai Fu's gate.

As time passed, voices grew louder in Yue Guo—could they bring Bai Yu Xia back

For how many years has the state supported the Bai family With such talent in their offspring, could they not repay the state

But Bai Yu's flaws are impossible to return, and Bai Mu Wen Juan Ying didn't even mention a word about her in the letter home.

Therefore, gradually discontent arose among the court and common people towards the Bai clan of Langya.

There's no outright humiliation, but the Bai family faces obstacles in business and their careers are limited. Even buying an oil pancake for breakfast, people charge them two extra coins. How would you deal with this

This is a massive family facing suppression on all fronts, with countless threads and intricate connections. It's not something that can be solved by simply targeting one individual — but as long as Bai Yu Xia returns, everything will be resolved seamlessly.

This is roughly the result that those behind the scenes wanted.

In her letters home, Bai Mu said nothing. In front of her child's friends, she kept a composed facade. But there would come a day when she wouldn't be able to hold it in any longer. Even if she gritted her teeth and remained silent, someone would always find a way to let Bai Yu Xia know about the state of the Bai family.

The troublesome ones are little devils, but the ones who nod their heads are Yama Kings.

When Bai Yu Xia returns, Yama will naturally have a smile on his face, and the little devils can kill a few as offerings. Everyone will be happy.

The prodigal son returns, and the country remains peaceful and prosperous.

Jiang Wang couldn't stay in Langya City every day, nor could he just ignore the situation and expect Bai Yu Xi to solve it.

If it comes, then treat it.

Evil winds must not be allowed to spread unchecked!

Master Jiang carefully considered, then took out a map he had obtained from the Bai Mansion. His gaze swept across it and settled on one place —

Hidden Peak
