At the finals of the DaoLi Three Nine Nineteen Yellow River Meet, Huang Sheli, who claimed to be twenty years old but was actually twenty-four, encountered Jiang Wang, who was nineteen at the time. Despite frequent reversals, he failed to turn the tide of battle and finally shook hands in defeat.

In that year's semifinals, Qin Zhizhen, a 23-year-old who was the reigning champion at the time, wielded his signature horizontal and vertical swords, displaying the demeanor of the king of hell. However, he ultimately fell to the sword immortal who wielded the long Xiangsi sword.

Looking back afterwards, Jiang Wang always said that the key was to secure first place in the pre-war sword ranking, which gave him an advantage. But Qin Zhizhen himself never sought a reason.

The excitement of the 19th Yellow River Meeting's final selection was unprecedented, a once-in-a-lifetime event throughout history.

To shine with such brilliance, it is not the light of a single person, but rather the radiance of peerless talents shining together, a galaxy of stars illuminating the era. It is in a time of progress and fierce competition that this unparalleled ancient song is born.

Before Li Yi's sudden emergence, shattering the unspoken constraints, there had never been a cultivator who attained enlightenment before the age of thirty in history. Generation after generation, the cultivation system was undergoing a revolution, and Li Yi became the voice of this inevitable change, a landmark event signifying the flourishing of humanity.

King Guo hid for three years. At the age of twenty-six, he achieved enlightenment and became a true master. At the age of twenty-nine, because of an incident at Wan Yao Men, he was urgently summoned back - his sword sang through ancient and modern times, finally making the world know him.

Huang Sheli possessed extraordinary supernatural powers, while Qin Zhizhen was a cultivator from the Celestial Mansion. Both achieved the state of True Understanding at the age of thirty, equaling the highest record set by ancient masters. In every aspect, they had pushed themselves to the limit. In any era, they could be considered top-tier talents.

Unfortunately, as early as the year 3923, Jiang Wang, Chong Xuan Zun, and Dou Zhao consecutively achieved true immortality before the age of thirty. They intercepted Li Yi's sword cry, redrawing a dividing line for peerless geniuses.

Here is the translation:

Among them, Jiang Wang even broke the record at the age of twenty-three to achieve the status of a true immortal in this world, known as the first true immortal in history.

>

They don't seem as impressive anymore.

But no matter how unremarkable, this record is a necessity. For Huang Sheli and Qin Zhizhen, reaching the age of thirty on this path is not only a cultivation goal, but also a political mission.

The Taixu Alliance has long since ended, and the Taixu Pavilion has long been completed. The celestial artifact named Taixu Pavilion has also been taken out early, and the Taixu Illusionary Realm has already been running for two years!

Why hasn't Tai Xu Pavilion opened yet

Nothing else.

When the people of Qin met those from Jing,

A dominant nation's power over the world is its well-known strength, and it embodies inherent authority.

It's not that these two hegemonic countries couldn't produce a real person who could detach themselves from national affairs, nor is it that they didn't have some younger prodigies. Qin had figures like Huang Budo, while Jing had figures like Murong Longque, both of whom had already attained enlightenment in the past few years.

But when it comes to age, each one is over thirty and has accomplished something. Placed in Tai Xu Pavilion for everyone to see, they inevitably lose the domineering aura of a great country.

The current God Envoy of the state, Cangming, also achieved the state of Enlightenment at the age of thirty-three. However, he was the first Enlightened one in their cohort's Unlimited Arena, second only to Li Yi. His enlightenment held a different significance. When he attained enlightenment, it was in the 392nd year of Daoli, January. At that moment, he was practically the second most powerful person in the world - the Dragon Palace Banquet hadn't even begun, let alone Jiang Wang's subsequent slaying of an Immortal and gaining another True Self.

For example, take Qin.

Huang Budong was 29 years old when he participated in the Yellow River Assembly, and at 34 he attained enlightenment. He looked like a sixty-year-old.

Gan Chang'an, who participated in the Wai Lou Field that year, was the same age as Jiang Wang. If he could truly succeed, he would be the top choice for entering the cabinet. Even if he became a true person this year, it would tie Li Yi's record. Unfortunately, he failed to achieve it.

We can't just keep everyone waiting indefinitely, leaving the Tai Xu Pavilion a mere shell, an empty void once again.

If Qin Zhizhen doesn't achieve success this year, and passes the age of thirty, Qin Country will also have to push Huang Budong out. They can't wait another ten years for the next generation of prodigies.

This kind of once-in-a-lifetime pressure was immense, especially after Huang Sheli had achieved his breakthrough a year prior. Qin Zhizhen indeed possessed an unyielding strength, but he still walked down step by step.

Jiang Wang listened to the sound of the qin and understood its elegant meaning. Hearing Qin Zhizhen, he knew about Tai Xu Pavilion. He smiled and waved his hand: "Throughout history, there have always been talented people emerging. A new generation surpasses the old! Shunhua is undoubtedly the first divine arrival in this era. Even if I hadn't broken through my realm yet, I wouldn't know how to defeat you."

"Elder Brother Jiang, don't say these things to comfort me. You accomplished great deeds during your divine manifestation, but I can't even accomplish one of them!" Qu Shunhua said: "You alone escaped from the demon realm, which is a feat that no one else could replicate. Throughout history, has there ever been such a divine manifestation My divine manifestation is at its peak within these ten years at most. But Elder Brother Jiang's divine manifestation is unparalleled throughout history, establishing a historical record—"

Zu Guangshu hurriedly interrupted: "We're all family, don't keep praising each other back and forth! Just call Chu Yao to come over and have a laugh!"

Chu Yao didn't smile, she said seriously and proudly: "My master is just that amazing!"

But Qiu Shunhua looked at Zuo Guangshu with a curious gaze and exclaimed, “Aren't these all the things you usually tell me You always say how great Elder Brother Jiang is, invincible in the world!”

"So that's how it is!" Jiang Wang laughed, clapping his hands. "Shunhua, you don't know this, but in his letters, he always praises you to me, saying how incredibly gifted you are and how powerful the world of 'Hètiān' is. He even said that even when I was at my peak as a god, I couldn't get the upper hand!"

Left Guang's handsome face flushed red, ashamed and annoyed he interrupted them: “Speaking privately and speaking openly are not the same!”

In the end, Qu Shunhua couldn't bear to see her beloved brother ridiculed. She changed the subject and said to Jiang Ge: "I have a question for you, Brother Jiang. Don't try to coax me this time—Gu Fei Jian, who has been traveling the world these past few years, is becoming increasingly famous. As everyone knows, he is a close friend of yours. In your opinion, am I stronger than him or is he"

"Need I say more" Jiang Wang said without hesitation, "I have the highest hopes for you! With Tian under Heaven's might, who can rival him"

Qiu Shunhua smiled happily, but still said: "Please be more objective, Brother Jiang."

Zuo Guangshu took out a keepsake stone and said fiercely, "Say it again, I'll record it all. I'll tell Xiang Qian when we get back!"

To be objective, both of you are the pinnacle of divine power in this world, each with your own ultimate advantages. If a winner must be decided, it all boils down to whether his dragon light can withstand the Heavenly Gate's closure.

“It's like I didn't say anything at all, let me be more objective!” Zuo Guangshu emphasized loudly.

Jiang Wang smiled and said: "When the distance is widened, we have a great advantage going forward. When the distance narrows, Shunhua will surely win."

"Alright!" he waved his hand. "Let's get down to business—what are the rules and regulations of the Tai Xu Pavilion"

Zuo Guangshu couldn't hold onto Jiang Da Ge's handle, so he could only reluctantly give up: "If you want to enter the cabinet, you must go to Taixu Mountain Gate on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, Chongyang. The specific procedures will be known at that time. In general, it's nothing more than those—Jiang Da Ge will definitely be fine, our Chu State fully supports you!"

Jiang Wang's eyes lit up: "Duke Huai is going to witness this Of course, Dou Zhao is entering the cabinet, so Song Zhenjun has to avoid some suspicion."

Zuo Guangshuo said, "To avoid suspicion, my grandfather also wouldn't go——"

Jiang Wang touched his nose, well! Everyone knows the relationship between himself and the Marquis of Huai's Mansion. This back door can't be opened.

“My grandfather went to represent Chu.” Qu Shunhua replied with a smile.

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

Duke Yuguo Qu Jin Kui!

Of course, Jiang Wang knew this True Monarch. He had visited him specifically after being introduced by Qu Shunhua.

Lord Yu Guo was not only influential and highly skilled, but he also had a passion for cooking, being unmatched in his culinary abilities. Jiang Wang shared many common interests with him, making them quite familiar with each other.

The threshold to joining the cabinet is right here——

First, you need channels and qualifications to know about this news in a timely manner.

Second, one needs genuine cultivation power, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to enter the gates of Tai Xu Mountain. The entrance to the cave, the "Gate of True Essence," where Jiang Hongli stood outside the mountain, still exists today.

Third, someone needs to support you.

"Time is so tight, it's just two days away!"

If Master were cultivating outside and hadn't returned, wouldn't that be a missed opportunity

Qu Shunhua laughed and said, “Because Qin Zhizhen realized the truth yesterday.”

Jiang Wang also smiled calmly.

Originally, the various factions that participated in the Tai Xu Alliance did not initiate the selection of Tai Xu Pavilion members on Qin Zhi Zhen's day of proving his true nature. Instead, they chose the Double Ninth Festival, a seemingly special day, which was already considered very polite.

Moreover, it takes a few days for each of the talented individuals from various factions to withdraw from their respective forces.

After three years, he was certain to secure a place in the Tai Xu Pavilion. No matter what form the selection process took, he was confident he would win a seat - unless the Tai Xu Alliance pushed the "carrot and stick" policy to its limits, for example, prohibiting anyone with the surname Jiang from entering the pavilion.

Master Jiang took a sip of tea brewed by his apprentice: "Is it necessary to make a personal trip for a simple message, or could you both come together"

Zuo Guangshu smiled and said, “This time I came out mainly to tell Brother Jiang about the Taixu Pavilion. Secondly, I also came out with Sister Shunhua to relax.”

Since he was exonerated and released from house arrest, this kid has been traveling with Qu Shunhua every few days. It's really enviable.

Jiang Wang smiled and said, "You came to tell me this casually!"

He turned his head and said to Chu Yao, “You can’t learn from your uncle in the future —”

At a glance, he saw the jade on his disciple's waist and immediately raised an eyebrow: "Xiao Yao, you're not very sensible. How could you take such a precious thing from your master"

Naturally, he extended his right hand: "Come, master, let me keep this for you. I'll return it to you when you grow up."

Chu Yao obediently untied the jade from her waist, holding it out with both hands. Her slender eyes looked at Zuo Guangshu expectantly.

Zu Guangshu raised his hand and slapped Jiang Wang's palm: "What's so precious about this Don't tease him, okay The child is still young and easily frightened."

Jiang Wang glanced at Zuo Guangshu: "A few years ago, you were about the same age as him now."

>

Time flies.

This kid's voice was still soft and tender a few years ago. Now, it's rich and dignified, with the air of a prince from the State of Chu. His bearing and appearance are even more impressive.

“Alright!” Zuo Guangshu, with a beauty by his side, wasn't interested in reminiscing about the past with his old brother. He got up efficiently: “The news has been delivered, we’ll be going now!”

Jiang Wang stood up, following suit and politely said, "It's almost dinner time, wouldn't you like to have a drink before leaving"

Zuo Guangshu said, "I'm not hungry. There are still so many places we haven't seen!"

Elder Jiang glared at them: "What Do you think the food here isn't good enough I have gathered renowned chefs from six countries here—of course, they can't compare to the Huangliang Terrace, nor touch upon Lord Yu of the Yu State. You don't have to eat if you don't want to!"

He was boasting halfway through when he remembered that Zuo Guangshu had boiled water here before, so he stopped.

The golden wind and jade dew are the scenery of the world, a couple ascends their carriage by themselves.

Only the surging clouds could be seen rolling away in an instant.

Jiang Zhenren looked at the clouds and sighed, "True love will always find its way. Like heavenly horses pulling a carriage, they travel across mountains and rivers. What a wonderful thing!"

Chu Yao's eyes lit up beside her, and she strongly agreed: "It's so good to be rich!"

On the eighth day of the ninth month in the year 3926 AD, General Marquis Chong Xuan of Qi, publicly announced—in pursuit of his personal path, he would leave Qi State, resign from his post and military service, and henceforth be a free man.

On the same day, Dou Zhao announced his defection from Chu, Huang Sheli announced his defection from Jing, Cang Ming announced his defection from Mu, and Qin Zhizhen announced his defection from Qin.

The Mirror Platform also announced on behalf of Li Yi that Ta Yu Zhenren has officially left Daluo Mountain and the Jing Kingdom.

Overnight, the world gained quite a few wandering immortals with no sect, school, or affiliation.

On the ninth day of the ninth month in the year three thousand nine hundred and twenty-six, it is Double Ninth Festival.

Master Jiang, in his green robes and wielding his sword, came alone to the gate of Taixu Mountain.

Miles of clouds and mist, tiny beneath one's feet.

Endless shifting sands, a sword cuts through.

Although the atmosphere in Bianhuang is tense, nowadays, as long as Real Master Jiang doesn't deliberately seek out the Heavenly Demon, he basically won't encounter any trouble.

Here's the translation:

Although he had heard of Taixu Mountain for many years, this was his first time visiting its gate.

It's a pity that there are hardly any traces of the Tai Xu sect left here.

Even the many magic arrays near this mountain gate were a dazzling array of styles, all lacking a unified aesthetic, like an exhibition of wares from various countries.

In just three years, the once-popular esotericism has been largely forgotten. In contrast, the illusory world of Tai Xu Huan Jing has become increasingly rich and widespread, yet people rarely mention Xu Yuan Zhi anymore.

Of course, everyone knows that there is a great being in the Illusory Realm, named Taixu Daozhu.

He is absolutely fair, absolutely just, high above, watching over everything in the illusory realm of emptiness.

Of course, people also know some virtual beings, and even every virtual being has its own name, feelings, stories, and past. But no one discusses the difference between Xu Ze Ming and Xu Ze Fu anymore, nor does anyone care whether Xu Jing Xuan is still pedantic.

They are the servants of the wandering Taixu, explorers who exist with illusions, participants in history... and also spectators of the times.

Replacing the entrance to Tai Xu Mountain was the gate of Dong Zhen, erected by Nan Tian Shi Ying Jiang Hong. Hanging high in the sky, it overlooks the flowing sand and exhibits a typical Daoist architectural style—

It is a stone archway, tall and substantial. It naturally divides into two parts, its stone patterns revealing intricate designs.

There was no one guarding the mountain gate, and this door alone was enough to keep everything irrelevant at bay.

Jiang Wang didn't have too many feelings, and stepped into the room.

Behind the gate, there was also a high sky. At first glance, one saw a gigantic floating platform-like Bagua Platform. Everything outside the Bagua Platform was hidden in mist and clouds.

The closer you get to this stage, the more you can feel its vastness.

Standing around the gossip platform like a towering phantom behind a high wall, it was the Dharma aspect projected by masters of various schools who had come to practice—even for something as simple as entering the Tai Xu Pavilion, there was no need for them to appear in person.

The attendee list is similar to the last Tai Xu Alliance meeting, but with subtle differences.

They are ——

During the Warring States period, prominent figures from various states included: Qi's Jiang Mengxiong, Jing's Ying Jiangong, Qin's Fan Shinian, Chu's Qu Jinkui, Jing's Gong Xiyan, and Mu's Tu Hu.

The Venerable Xukong of Hanging Temple, Master Sumishan Zhuguo, Abbot Bai Geshuai of Qingya Academy, Jade An of Jiange Temple, Wu Bingyi of Sanxing Palace, and Lu Maoguan of Jucheng.

The gigantic gossip platform is naturally divided into many areas. Heaven and earth, wind and fire, mountains and water, thunder and marsh — everything imaginable.

The Eight Directions divination, inner landscape and mountains.

Under the imposing Dharma form, it seemed like a miniature landscape in a bowl.

In fact, people in it are just like ants.

People are scattered among them, either in the mountains or by the rivers.

Among them, there were not only competitors from the Tai Xu Pavilion, but also spectators from various factions, as well as personnel from various factions who had been stationed at the gate of Tai Xu Mountain several years ago.

Among them, a large number of cultivators will directly become subordinates of the Tai Xu Pavilion, and be assigned by the members of the Tai Xu Pavilion.

Jiang Wang discovered that he seemed to be the last one to arrive—he had walked all the way from Xingyueyuan, and indeed hadn't seen anyone else.

I laugh at those Dou Zhaohou who are hasty, and those who follow Xuan eagerly. One by one, they are too eager, lacking the calmness that a true person should have!

Thankfully, the powerful figures of the Huanba gossip platform all still have their eyes closed, apparently it's not time yet.

Master Jiang couldn't help but slow his pace, lowering his voice and flying down quietly, wanting to blend naturally into the crowd and disperse among the people at the divination platform.

“Ginger! Over here!” Last year’s true yellow relic, stood on top of a dangerous peak, wearing a yellow robe that was very eye-catching, and waved his hand vigorously: “There is plenty of room next to me!”

All eyes were on him.

Furthermore, the Dharmas directly manifest as open eyes!

Jiang Wang walked expressionlessly to Huang Sheli's side, his eyes fixed straight ahead and calm.
