Chapter 79: The Winds of Change Sweep Outside the Building
have any other text you'd like me to translate!This means that the competition next will be very fierce and brutal!The unique nature of the Heavenly Treasure Realm makes it an island of humanity, whe...Faced with the scrutiny of the members of Tai Xu Pavilion, Wei Yu finally said: "Out of curiosity, I did investigate, but the information obtained was not complete and could not be guaranteed to be accurate."
Jiang Wang remained noncommittal: "Tell me."
The boundless snowfield is empty, with footprints sinking deep and shallow in the snow.
Wei Yu had a feeling that she and Jiang Wang were old friends who had walked the same path, but looking up at the sword glow that stretched to the horizon, this illusion shattered.
He organized his words for a moment before saying: "First, let's talk about the situation in Xue Guo. Xue Guo is a country where politics and religion are intertwined, with the Lin Dong Jiao as its state religion, and the ruler also serving as the Pope. But they have no gods. They have no gods like Cang Tu Shen or Yuan Tian Shen who appear in the world, nor do they have pure, selfless beings like Zhu Tian Wan Jie Wu Fang Wu Xing Jiu Fa Zhen Shen. The belief of the Lin Dong Jiao is in winter itself."
"People in the Snow Country are almost all religious, but few are fanatical devotees. The Winter Church is not eager to expand either. Since ancient times, the Winter Church has never developed beyond the Snowy Land. Unlike the Azure Diagram Divine Sect, which always wants to spread its divine light elsewhere. I personally tend to see the Winter Church as a fusion of a way of life and a philosophy of survival. People have summed up ways of surviving in the cold, in the form of faith, continuing civilization on the tundra."
“The highest authority in name, of course, is the Snow Country sovereign and Grand Pontiff of the Frost Church, Hong Xingjian. But in reality, one who moves heaven and earth, truly controlling the lifeblood of Snow Country, is True Monarch Fu Huan. However, Fu Huan usually retreats for cultivation and rarely interferes with concrete affairs. Now that a Winter Emperor has emerged, he also largely ignores state affairs.”

Jiang Wang had learned about this information beforehand, but he still listened attentively to what Wei Yu was saying.
The way a person tells a story, the perspective they describe it from, can sometimes also be a form of expression.
He was learning about the Snow Country, and he was also learning about Wei Yu, or perhaps... Qin.
“Throughout the Snow Country, there are five dioceses: Dongzai, Lin Yi, Qingniao, Shuanghe, and Yuxin. The bishops of these five dioceses, that is, the highest power in the Snow Country, are responsible for making decisions about the direction of the entire Snow Country. It is together with the Pope Hong Xingjian that the five archbishops determine the future course of the Snow Country.”
“Among them, the Dong Zai Diocese is the core of Xue Guo and the location of Ji Xu City, the capital of Xue Guo. Besides this information, everything else is very mysterious.”
Wei Yu simply sketched the situation in the Snow Country before getting to the point: “Among the Five Great Regions, I only have a slight understanding of the Frost Union Region. The three cities that Snow Country opens to the outside world, Hanhua, Xueji, and Bingyang, are all covered by this region. This is also the only region among the Five Great Regions that interacts with the outside world.”

The bishop of the Frost Convergence Diocese, named Liu Yanxiao, only became a bishop three years ago and attained enlightenment last year. He is the youngest bishop among the five existing bishops. It was his predecessor, the former bishop of the Frost Convergence Diocese, Dantai Fei, who led the pursuit of the Winter Emperor—
"Is Dàntái Fěi still alive" Jiāng Wàng asked.
Wei Yu said: "He was killed on the day the Winter Emperor attained enlightenment."
Jiang Wang asked again, "Was it Fu Zhenjun or the Winter Emperor who killed him"
Wei Yu glanced at Jiang Wang: "Of course it's the Winter Emperor."
Why does Dantai Fei chase after Xie Ai What is the relationship between Liu Yanxiao and Xie Ai
Here's the translation:

“I don't know why Dantai Fei is chasing after Xie Ai. Regarding Liu Yan Zhao… he’s now under the Emperor of Winter.” Wei Yu finished, then spread his hands: “That’s all I know.”
Weiyuyu definitely knew more than that, but Jiang Wang didn't press further, just smiled and said: "In your opinion, if I want to promote the Taixu Fantasy Realm in the Snow Country, where should I start"
“If we can persuade Grandmaster Fu, then great things will be accomplished.” Wei Yu said, “Secondly, we need to win over the support of Emperor Dong. And then… If Pope Hong Xingjian is willing to support us, building the Tai Xu Corner Tower won’t be difficult.”
This suggestion can't be said to be wrong, but it's all nonsense.
Who doesn't know that when doing business in a snowy country, Fu Huan is the most useful person to find
The issue is that you can talk to Fu Huan yourself, do you still need to ask Wei Yu for suggestions
Jiang Wang raised his eyes and looked ahead, remaining silent at this moment.
After a while, a distant black dot appeared in sight, rushing forward like surging waves. The black dot quickly approached, clearly forming distinct figures of people.

Hundreds of cavalry spread out on the snowfield, their black armor seemingly intentionally contrasting with the white landscape. They rode thick-furred, towering snow wolves, galloping across the deep snow like clouds in flight.
The sound of the cavalry reached them long before they did: "Lord Lu Kuiwu, commander of Xuejic City, leading three hundred snow riders, greets Lord Jiang Ge!"
Jiang Wang smiled, with his hands behind his back, and stepped forward.
Three hundred snow wolves, as if encountering an invisible barrier, suddenly stopped. A man stood up.
Lü Kuiwu was a burly man, his rosy nose from the cold wind very noticeable. He flipped over and landed directly in front of Jiang Wang, bowing deeply: "I apologize for not meeting you sooner."
Members of the Taixu Pavilion, of course, should be respected everywhere they go. But within the Snow Country, even as an official of the Snow Country, it's not necessary to be so eager and attentive. That Lord Wang Di, the City Master of Hanhuacheng, even starts with a barb when he speaks.
>
Lü Kuiwu is truly someone who embodies the rare warmth found in snowy countries.
Jiang Wang reached out and helped him up. "Lord Lü, you don't need to be so polite."
Lu Kui shouted with a righteous voice: "I respect you not because of your position or status, but because you are a hero of the human race! The rise and fall of the world is everyone's responsibility. Master Jiang has fought for the human race and achieved great feats many times. If I can't help him, that's fine, but if I don't show respect to a hero, am I still human"
Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!
Jiang Wang's gaze swept over Wei Yu.
Wei Yu immediately said, "Master Jiang, I respect you too!"
"Lord Lü, to say such things is rather blunt. I was born a human and simply do what any member of the human race would do. It's nothing more than a bit of luck," Jiang Wang shifted his gaze back to Lü Kuiwu, then changed the subject, "Speaking of matters within the purview of the human race, the Tai Xu Illusionary Realm is a shared project by all parties, a vessel for humanity, the source of the great current... its significance is known to all. What does Lord Lü plan to do about this And what about the Snow Country"
"Ahem! ahem!"
Lü Kuiwu immediately retorted, coughing repeatedly.
Are all the big shots outside this direct We've only just begun to make pleasantries!
"You wouldn't have come unprepared, would you" Jiang Wang looked at him softly.
Lu Kuiwu shivered, suddenly coming to his senses. He quickly said: "How is that possible I've been working hard to promote this, there are already two Taixu Corner Towers in the city..."
Jiang Wang strode forward, and the snow wolves in front instinctively gave way. The cavalry also parted to both sides, watching with respect. Even Lord Lu Kuiwu, the city lord, consciously followed behind.
On the contrary, he seemed to be the master of this snowy domain.
“According to the Winter Emperor, no more than three hundred people in the entire Snow Country use the Taixu Illusion Realm. And when Master Lü leaves the city, his entourage has three hundred guards,” Jiang Ge’s voice was carried by the wind and snow: “Master Lü, are you indeed making an effort”
The two Tai Xu Jiao Lou in Xue Ji City were decided upon during the era of the Tai Xu Sect. Xue Ji City can also be said to be the only city in this northwest nation that is open to the Tai Xu Fantasy Realm.
As a member of the Tai Xu Pavilion, I naturally have the right to inquire about these two corner towers.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Lu Kuiwu felt very wronged: "The imperial court has an order, to avoid leaking military secrets, soldiers are not allowed to participate in the Taixu Fantasy Realm. As for other people in the city, they don't want to, and I can't help it either. You can't force a cow to drink water, can you"
"The six powers, Qi, Jing, Qin, Chu, and Han, all openly participated in the Taixu Illusionary Realm without fear of leaking military secrets. Looking at the entire world, all the states and clans participated without worry about disclosure. Why is that" Jiang Wang said: "If Xue Guo's military secrets could be guaranteed, could the Taixu Illusionary Realm then be implemented here"
“This…this I can’t decide.” Lü Kuiwu stammered.
"Have you ever used the Illusory Realm" Jiang Wang asked.
Lü Kui said, "I hold an important position and am not allowed to..."
"The Winter Emperor allowed me to see and hear for myself," Jiang Wang said in a calm voice. "Lord Lu, what do you think I should hear in Xiejic City" Lü Kui cautiously asked, "What does the Winter Emperor mean"
"The meaning of 'Winter Emperor,' you needn't tell me."

"Yes, yes, yes. She has her own ideas, I overstepped."
Please note that the original content was empty between the > tags. I have only returned the closing HTML tag as instructed.
Jiang Wang walked slowly, saying lightly: "This matter the Winter Emperor will not express an opinion on, but I might as well tell you - I met her in Hanhuacheng and had a few drinks together. She clearly stated that the resistance from the Illusory Realm is not with her."
Wei Yu stood beside her, expressionless, with a mix of emotions swirling within her. Who had spread the rumor that Master Jiang was a pure-hearted cultivator, gentle and humble This encounter in the Snowy Country had certainly opened her eyes to the truth.
>
To put it simply, what Zhenren Jiang is saying now is the truth. But the way he puts it makes it seem like the Winter Emperor is supporting the Illusory Realm of Tai Xu!

Lü Kuiwu's eyes were now extremely solemn. He must have thought he was caught up in the power struggle between high-level officials of Xue Guo... Now he should be terrified!
Jiang Wang asked leisurely, "Some things the Winter Emperor finds it inconvenient to speak plainly, and as an outsider, I would be disrespectful to say them. Could you tell me, where does the resistance of the Illusory Realm of Emptiness lie Is it here with you"
>
"It's none of my business!" Lü Kuiwu subconsciously shouted in protest, but then instinctively realized he was surrounded.
"It's alright." Jiang Zhenren's voice was very gentle, soothing her anxious emotions: "From the moment you started, everything you said and did could only be heard and seen by me."
>
Lü Kuiwu first let out a sigh of relief, but then became wary again, carefully saying: “The resistance from the illusionary realm of Tai Xu is definitely not from me. It’s all by order of the court, I’m just following orders… If you want to know where this resistance truly lies, it’s not something I can explain in a few words.”
Jiang Wang thoughtfully created a safe space for him to speak, which ironically made him more alert.
Looking at it this way, even though the Snow Country is permanently closed off, intrigue and rivalry are rampant. Even someone exiled here to guard frozen meat isn't so easily fooled.
"It's okay." Jiang Wang smiled softly. "Taixu Pavilion doesn't do things that harshly. Since you don't want to say, I definitely won't force you... Where is Taixu Corner Tower Please lead the way."
Lü Kuiwu, as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders, hurriedly led the way ahead.
Although Master Jiang is young and gentle, he is a renowned figure throughout the world. Faced with such an inquiry from this kind of person, the pressure is immense, and his shoulders can hardly bear it!
Compared to the prosperity of Hanhua City, Xueji City gives one a sense of being like a snow coffin. The households in the city seem to dislike talking and going out, each burying themselves in work without making a sound. On the main thoroughfare of this vast city, there are only a few scattered individuals: one dragging a cart of frozen meat forward, another chipping ice from the wall corner with an ice chisel, and yet another holding an oiled paper umbrella, walking alone at a slow pace on the street...
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The snow-covered rider entered the city, the sound of his wolf's hooves striking the ground very clear.
The houses in this city are mostly square, with flat roofs — covered in the frozen meat of various snow beasts.
They were laid bare on either side of the street, like exhibits on a butcher's block, describing a raw and brutal reality. Occasionally, a pair of eyes would peer out from behind windows, but they would quickly retract, even curiosity seemed subdued.
The people in this city seem to have their emotions frozen.
"Wei brother, have you ever been here before" Jiang Wang casually transmitted.
Wei Yu said, "I came here when I was buying frozen meat."
This place has always been like this.
"That's always been the case."
“Have you made any special discoveries here”
> "Who is Jiang Gaiyuan referring to"
"Heh heh..." Master Jiang walked and looked, his expression calm: "It's nothing."
“Two-tenths of all the meat produced in the Five Kingdoms of the Northwest comes from our Xueji City!” When Lü Kuiwu spoke, his wine-stained nose also quivered. In such an environment, it was particularly lively: “Lord Jiang, why don't you come have a meal with me at the mansion first Try our specialty Bingdao meat – known as the freshest in the Northwest —”
“Go to the Tàixūjiǎoluó.” Jiāng Wàng said softly.
Lü Kuaiwu's enthusiasm was interrupted, but he showed no annoyance. He simply quickened his pace and spoke less, quickly bringing Jiang Wang to the northeast corner of Xiejic City.
Two empty towers of the Tai Xu corner stood starkly in sight, devoid of any occupants.
>
Xuejic City was already desolate, and this corner was even more so, with nothing but ice shards. It seemed as if everything had been cleared out to make room for the Tai Xu Jiao Lou – of course, from the traces that hadn't been completely erased, Zhenren Jiang could still deduce that this place had previously been sealed off.
“The snowy country's view of the void is like a raging flood beast.” Jiang Ge yuan sighed with emotion.
>
Lü Kuiwu was speechless beside him.
"Seeing these two empty Taixu Corner Towers, I am very heartbroken." Jiang Wangdao: "I have a Taixu Corner Tower in Qi State that belongs to me. Do you know how much it can earn in a month"
"Can Taixu Corner Tower still make money" Lü Kuiwu was very surprised.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"At its best, our business made over three hundred sixty spirit stones a month. But in recent years, with the widespread popularity of the Illusory Realm and the increasing number of Tai Xu Pavilion branches, profits have started to decline."
This "country bumpkin" Lü Kuiwu shocked everyone, and Wei Yu, who came from a big city, was also quite eye-opening. Doesn't Tai Xu Jiao Lou count as national infrastructure Can it even be profitable
When Jiang Guoyuan was once the Marquis of Wuan, he truly had absolute power in the State of Qi.
“The value of the Illusory Realm has long been recognized by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. If it were left to the Snow Country people themselves, the Illusory Realm would have been open in the Snowy Region long ago. Your court's prohibitions, imposed for various reasons, are against the tide of history. We wouldn't normally concern ourselves with such matters; the Illusory Realm has always been free and never forced anyone to participate. Moreover, if you continue to lock it down, sooner or later, the power of the times will push you back. This has no effect on me, and the Taixu Pavilion doesn't need to worry about it either.” Jiang Wang looked at Lü Kuiwu with a solemn expression: “But with the God Thunder War imminent, we must seize the time and unite all forces that can be united, doing everything possible to enhance the overall strength of the human race. This is the purpose of my coming here.”
He ignored whether Lü Kuiwu or anyone else paying attention to him had heard, and walked into the Tai Xu Jiao Lou with his hands behind his back: “Lü, you should go back to your own business. I’ll just sit here for a while.”
Lu Kuiwu and his subordinates stopped outside the building, at a loss for words. Wei Yu followed Jiang Wang into Taixu Corner Tower.
He thought Jiang Wang would use the Tai Xu Corner Pavilion to do something, but after following up, he saw Jiang Wang casually find a place, gather clouds into a cushion, and just sit down like that, starting to cultivate.
Toying with someone Waiting for a rabbit to come hopping by
With a multitude of thoughts swirling in her mind, Wei Yu didn't rush to leave. She found a place beside him and sat down, adjusting her energy.
Here's the translation:

That's how I spent a day, two days, three days...
Jiang Wang has been cultivating non-stop, day and night.
It's just… too boring.
After a long, five-day silence, Wei Yu spoke up and asked several questions about cultivation. Zhenren Jiang patiently answered them all.
Thus, five more days passed.
“I’m very curious,” Wei Yu couldn’t help but say after Jiang Zhenren answered the question about the limits of Shenlin Realm, “Jiang Ge, why would you be willing to point me in the right direction”
Jiang Wang glanced at him: "You are a human prodigy, and you haven't done anything evil. Your brain isn't good enough to give advice, and it wouldn't be helpful... It's just a small favor, why wouldn't I be willing"
What I mean is, in this era of great contention, with prodigies vying for dominance and heroes rising, who knows when we might face each other. "We'll talk about it when the time comes," Jiang Wang said calmly.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Wei Yu smiled wryly: "As expected, Director Jiang doesn't think I would be a match for him."
"I haven't felt like you are a rival. But I also don't think it's impossible for you to become my opponent. It's just that we have different understandings of the 'Great Struggle'. I'm not worried about having too many opponents. I don't care who my opponent is, I only hope that the person standing in front of me is strong enough. Because only a strong enough opponent is qualified to test my journey so far."
>
Wei Yu remained silent for a long time: "Your honesty makes me uneasy."
After a while, he said: "I wonder... it seems like Master Jiang doesn't seem very concerned about the implementation of the Taixu Illusionary Realm in the snowy country"
Jiang Wang smiled: "I thought you'd keep discussing cultivation issues with me."
Wei Yu said, "It's just a little curiosity of mine."
Jiang Wang observed the changes in the miniature sword prison in his palm, nonchalantly saying: "Don't you understand When I arrived in the Snow Country, the illusory realm of Taixu had already spread here, unstoppable. Do I represent only myself Is the decision made by Tai Xu Pavilion just the attitude of our nine people All their resistance is just to buy themselves time. I am not willing to force it too quickly and attract unnecessary trouble for myself. I also want to see what they are going to do with this time."
His gaze shifted from Jian Yu back to Wei Yu. “The ‘they’ I spoke of also includes ‘you’.”
