Chapter 70: How Could It Be Like the Past?

other text you'd like me to translate!The once every five years Three Great Prefectures' Joint Assessment is the most common path to entering the National Dao Institute, with one hundred cultivators...The members of Tai Xu Pavilion are chosen by public opinion throughout the land. Regardless of whether they have backing from powerful forces or which faction supports them, there are a fixed number of nine members, and this number cannot be increased or decreased.

A Tai Xu Ge member's term of office is thirty years, and upon expiration, they are replaced. No one is exempt from this rule.

Under what circumstances would members of the Taixu Pavilion be replaced before their term ends

The original members of Tai Xu Ge, due to various reasons, are unable to exercise the rights of a Tai Xu Ge member and are unable to fulfill the responsibilities of a Tai Xu Ge member.

For example, when Li Yi previously practiced in seclusion, he completely ignored the Taixu Pavilion. He only allowed Wang Kun to represent him under the leadership of Jing Guo. Other members drove away Wang Kun and deliberately made a rule to expel Li Yi as well. However, this position was still tacitly understood as representing the interests of Jing Guo, and Jing Guo still needed to send someone else up.

Although Dou Zhao also missed the last two Tai Xu meetings, the situation is completely different.

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

Why did the Chu state put Zhongli Yan forward to take this position in Tai Xu Pavilion

Why would Chu State think that Dou Zhao could no longer exercise the rights of a Taixu Pavilion member, could not bear the responsibilities of a Taixu Pavilion member, and could not fight for Chu State's interests within the Taixu Pavilion

This practically points to one result...

That was a result no one had ever thought of.

Because Dou Zhao is such a dazzling genius, a peerless talent!

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

Even if Dou Zhao went to the most desolate place in the world, stepping on the Immortal Burial Forest where countless powerful people were buried. Even if Dou Zhao was hunted by top experts like Lu Shuanghe and Ren Qiuli. No one thought that Dou Zhao would be in danger.

In people's feelings, someone like Dou Zhao would at most...at most be seriously injured and leave.

It would make sense for him to grow stronger in the face of danger, pushing through life or death and decisively killing Lu Shuanghe. It wouldn't feel so unbelievable. Because miracles tend to happen to those kinds of people.

How could he...

The entire Taixu attic fell silent. Even Zhong Xuan was speechless.

Looking at the empty seat now, where Zhongli Yan would sit later, Jiang Wang found it hard to describe his feelings. He suddenly felt that Chong Xuan should have attended today's meeting.

Perhaps Zhong Xuan will forever regret not being here.

In 1939 at the Yellow River Conference, he and Dou Zhao together forged the legend of the unparalleled double pride.

Does the legend end here

The sound of the Ghui again rang out, and the Ghui's expression had returned to seriousness: “Please… make a decision.”

Jiang Wang stood up: "I abstain from this proposal. Everyone, I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

He stepped out of the Taixu Pavilion, and in the fleeting light of the Taixu's emptiness, he instantly appeared in Yingcheng.

appeared outside the Marquis of Huai's mansion.

The doorman saw him and led him in, running ahead with small steps while shouting, “Young Master Jiang is back!”

Zuo Xiao had returned from the Beitian Gate, and naturally Zuo Guangshu was also there. Even Xiong Jingyu, who had been indifferent to worldly affairs for many years, focusing solely on tending his ants in his garden, made a rare appearance at the council chamber.

There's nothing else to say, the matter of Dou Zhao truly moves people!

To say the least, once this matter spreads, the entire Chu state, the entire southern region, and even the entire world will be unable to avoid discussing it.

As the heir to a renowned noble family, Wu Ling's death sent shockwaves through Chu's internal affairs. As long as An Guo Gong remained alive, there was still hope for stability. However, Dou Zhao's misfortune would undoubtedly cause widespread alarm throughout the land.

To put it simply, when comparing Dou Shao with the contemporary national hero Dou Yunsiao, who truly embodies the Dou clan This is a question that many people ponder.

He is not only the young master of the Dou family, but also a leading figure among the younger generation in Chu State, representing the future of Chu.

"Is Dou Zhao really dead" Jiang Wang asked before even sitting down.

Xiong Jingyu sat silently, her demeanor unlike her usual simplicity. Today she was adorned in fine clothes and jewelry, clearly preparing to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

In the past, Zuo Guanglie's downfall occurred on the battlefield. This wasn't unusual in itself, but Zuo Xiao still disregarded imperial advice and searched for Li Yi for a long time. This directly led to Li Yi disappearing from public view until he reappeared at Guanhetai as the celestial being Taiyu Zhenren.

Formerly, when the incident at Wuling occurred, Duke An of Guo personally went to Yu Xian Lin and forcefully arrived at Yinxang Peak, forcing Gao Zheng to pick up Ge Fei and confess. Before that, Prince Chu himself had communicated with Duke An for a long time.

The four great aristocratic families of Chu were different from others. Even at its peak, the Xiang family, with renowned general Xiang Longxiang still alive, could only rank among the second-rate.

This time, Dou Zhao's incident has caused repercussions that are simply immeasurable. Xiong Jingyu must enter the palace at this time to grasp the latest developments firsthand and feel her emperor brother's true attitude.

Zuo Guangshu waved to the maidservant, placing a teacup in front of Jiang Wang and sitting down beside him.

The Duke of Huai sat at the head, looking slightly weary as he pressed his forehead. "Before Song Zhenjun captured Lu Shuanghe and Ren Qiuli, we can't say this is the final outcome. But Tianshao has been broken, swept out of Yuxian Forest by the Ghost Tide and landed in Bingxu - that's how we learned about this. Dou Zhao's true spirit remaining on the blade has also extinguished."

Dou Zhao, a proud and unrestrained person like him, would never abandon his sword until death. To put down his sword is to give up the fight, and Dou Zhao would never surrender.

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

Zuo Xiao said that it is not yet possible to confirm this as the final result, but Chu State has already sent Zhongli Yan to replace Tai Xu Pavilion members, indicating that everyone still has their own judgment.

Jiang Wang fell silent for a moment: "Can Song Zhenjun catch Lu Shuanghai"

"It's hard to say," Zuo Xiao said. "The Immortal Ruins show no mercy to anyone, regardless of how powerful you are. To find someone in the Immortal Ruins, luck is the most important thing. Duke An Guo went to the Immortal Ruins last time to retrieve Xiaoling's remains, but he couldn't even find a trace of her."

Zuo Guangshu asked: "How did Dou Zhao find Lu Shuanghe and the others"

Jiang Wang sighed: "Because they were both willing to find each other."

Dou Zhao is a warrior who fights against heaven and earth. He even threatens Meng Tianhai with "I'll cut you five thousand four hundred years". Facing cultivators like Lu Shuanghe and Ren Qiuli of the same realm, he never backs down an inch.

While Lu Shuanghe is a man of unwavering principles and absolute coldness; he doesn't care about Dou Zhao's status at all, nor does he feel fear or trepidation.

Their collision was inevitable, a clash of swords. Neither would yield an inch.

"Xiong Jingyu said at this time: 'Dou Zhao, although arrogant, is definitely not the kind of person who would knowingly go to a certain death. He must have made preparations. Going to Yinxian Forest was to use Lu Shuanghe as a whetstone—but it's very clear that Lu Shuanghe and Ren Qiuli's preparations were more thorough. These two are both top-tier real people, there is no reason to be underestimated.'"

This is a warning to Jiang Wang.

Jiang Wang was speechless.

Zuo Xiao spoke slowly, "I've seen that broken Tianshao blade myself. The battle marks on the blade are extremely dense, spanning a full forty-nine days – the fight between Dou Shuo and Lu Shuanghe, Ren Qiu Li was a constant back-and-forth, touching and separating again and again. It wasn't so much a battle as a process of hunting and being hunted. They were both prey and predator."

Jiang Wang thought to himself, that was truly a fierce battle.

As for the abilities of Lu Shuanghe, Ren Qiuli, and Dou Zhao, he had a general idea in his mind. Of course, whether it was Lu Shuanghe, Ren Qiuli, or Dou Zhao, they were all peerless geniuses among millions. For figures who have reached this position, it is impossible to judge completely accurately.

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

But Dou Zhao has not yet reached the level of a top-tier True Person, there should be no question about that.

In other words, Dou Zhao single-handedly confronted Lü Shuānghe and Ren Qiuli in Yinxian Forest with strength inferior to theirs. The perilous environment of Yinxian Forest, capable of burying them at any moment, became both his weapon and shield. Thus, for forty-nine days, they pursued and fled, each step taken on the edge of life and death, their fighting spirit always at its peak.

What a warrior!

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

Being able to fight in this game of hunter and hunted for so long, Jiang Wang completely believed that Dou Zhao had many opportunities to escape, but he didn't choose to do so—he firmly believed that he could become the ultimate winner, even though he was at a disadvantage time and time again during their clashes.

But what about Lu Shuanghe

Anyone, facing a formidable and terrifying opponent like Dou Zhao, would find it difficult to maintain their peak performance throughout. Any lapse in concentration, before Dou Zhao, could be fatal. This forty-nine day pursuit was a tremendous test for both sides involved.

Lu Shuānghé still persisted to the end, cutting down Tiānxiāo.

This battle, taking place in the Yinxian Forest, likely without an audience, was undoubtedly the most spectacular duel of true cultivators in our time. The reason is simple: both combatants were masters capable of performing miracles and achieving the ultimate expressions of their power.

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

What are your thoughts on the Zixu Pavilion, Left Xia asked.

Jiang Wang understood what the old man was asking. He replied seriously: "Dou Zhao went to Yinxian Forest to find Nandou Zhenren for Chu State affairs, not for Tai Xu Ge's affairs. His public statement is that this is a private grudge between him and Nandou Zhenren - Tai Xu Ge will not interfere in the private grudges of its members, nor will it do anything because a member died from a personal grudge."

"But" Zuo Xiao looked at him.

"But Lu Shuanghai and I have a pact to fight," Jiang Wang said calmly. "Dou Zhao couldn't help me resolve this trouble, so I have to face it myself."

He didn't hate Lu Shuanghe, but Dou Zhao's accident did make him feel regret.

This regret needs to be washed away by a rousing battle.

Lu Shuanghe, with a broken Tianxiao sword in his hand, reignited his focus on this duel—he had initially viewed it as a mere landscape along his path of cultivation, but now he eagerly wished to personally experience the sharpness of Chao Wen Dao's blade.

What kind of sword can cut through Tiān Xiāo

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

Looking at Jiang Wang like this, Zuo Xiao said: “You are now a true master of the world, and you are also a teacher, relying on many people. You have your own ideas about everything. In principle, I shouldn't point fingers at you anymore.”

Jiang Wang lowered his head: "I need your guidance very much."

"I have only one requirement," Zuo Xiao said slowly, "Don't let Dou Zhao become the reason for your battle. The reason you fight Lu Shuanghai can be only one: that you have truly reached the limit of this realm."

Bear Jingyu also chimed in, "Jiang Wang, I don't want to make comparisons like this, but the Battle of Hegu, Chu did everything they could prepare, and Qin did everything they could prepare. In the end, one side always has to lose—who is guaranteed not to lose The biggest lesson I learned from this is to never think you are an exception. The river of destiny favors no one; only those who reach the end can influence the direction of fate."

Jiang Wang stood up and bowed deeply: "Grandpa Zuo, Auntie, I have received your teachings and care. I understand, and I won't act recklessly."

"You've been running around the alien battlefield all this time. Why don't you take a break and relax with Guangshu in Ying City" Xiong Jingyu stood up and walked out. "I have some things to do at the palace. I'll bring you some Pei Yuan pills when I come back, you can take them to the battlefield."

"What the hell are these Tai Xu Pavilion members, I don't care about them!" Zhong Li Yan overturned the table: "Now everyone comes to advise me, whoever wants to be a Tai Xu Pavilion member go for it!"

Zhong Li Zaojia was far-sighted, holding his rice bowl as the chaos unfolded around him. A plate of boneless snowfish, his favorite dish, still hung before him.

This pup started flipping tables at seven years old, and no matter how much he was beaten, he didn't change. Now, he's pretty used to it.

"The Lord of Offering Valley picked at his fish with chopsticks, nonchalantly saying, "I remember you wanted to do this very badly. When the Taixu Pavilion was first established, you insisted that you represented Chu's interests best and unilaterally declared your secession from Offering Valley—you hadn't even reached the realm of enlightenment back then."

“Is this what you mean” Zhongli Yan raged, “That’s what I’m trying to fight back for. Now you’re asking me to make up for it. Dou Zhao, a mere child, can’t even beat Lu Shuanghai from Nandou Hall. What qualifications does he have for me to replace him”

Zhongli Zhaojia tapped his chopsticks against the bowl, slowly saying: "You can't even beat a Ge Fei. It's good to have something to make up for it."

>

Zhong Li Yan gritted his teeth, wanting to scold something, but he had lost too miserably and couldn't find the words. He stormed out of the room in anger.

He definitely wouldn't be happy about losing to Ge Fei.

But later it was known that the gossip behind Ge Fei was a monster from mountains and seas who had cultivated for nearly a thousand years. This thief came from the fantasy world of mountains and seas, which became real. It was the most romantic creation of Huang Wei in the past three thousand years.

He still wasn't entirely convinced, but he was willing to accept it.

It's just the accumulation of years, it can't be considered a hero! Maybe Gaozheng even gave that guy some encouragement. When he, Zhongli the great, and Huangwei Zhen are the same age, we'll see Mere rumors are nothing, Huangwei Zhen even dared to hack him.

“Where are you going again” Zhongli Zhaojia chased after his back and asked.

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

Zhongli Yan didn't even turn back: "Find Dou Mian!"

"What are you looking for Doumian for" Zhongli Zhaojia asked in confusion.

“Discipline him! Discipline him!” Zhongli Yan shouted angrily, “I took him with me on a diplomatic mission to Yue Guo, giving him an opportunity to shine. How dare he disgrace me!”

Zhōng Lǐ Zhào jiǎ had a mind to say that Dou Mian’s performance in Yuè Country wasn’t very good, but you yourself got beaten down and weren't very face-saving. But he also knew that once these words were uttered, the young rascal would rebel again. At this moment, it was mealtime, and he was too lazy to personally discipline his son. Let this brat get taught a lesson by Dou Jia, anyway, he wouldn’t be killed. Thus, he remained silent.

But Zhong Li Yan walked back angrily.

"What's wrong again" Zhongli Zhaomei looked at him helplessly.

Zhongli Yan plopped down in a chair: "Damn, this is boring."

Yes indeed.

Wuling is gone, Douzhao is gone.

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

This is so damn boring.

Even if you hit Doumian until he blossoms, his Dou Zhan Golden Body isn't that impressive.

Zhongli Zhajia pulled at the Emperor Tian's secret-cultivated fairy rice, each grain rolling into his belly like a pearl. He said calmly, "Then let me tell you something interesting"

Zhong Liyan sat slumped, his head resting against the back of the chair like a dog's head on a chopping block, waiting for the axe to fall... showing an air of having lost all worldly desire.

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

Always restless, as if with boundless energy and constantly striving, Zhongli Yan, for the first time in his life, showed fatigue before the Lord of Xian Gu whom he had always wanted to replace.

Is there anyone in the world who doesn't know fatigue He just held his breath, determined to overturn Dou Zhao with dignity. He fought again and again, even though he lost teeth, he never softened his words. But now...

The heavily loaded fist, it seemed, could only strike empty air. In the time that followed, he seemed to be able to do nothing but continuously swing his fists at nothingness.

Zhong Li Zhaojia looked at his rebellious son and said slowly, “If you don't want to supplement the Tai Xu Pavilion members, wait until the next Tai Xu meeting. It will be Xiang Beishang who goes up then, do you believe me”

"The monster inside the body, that mountain sea beast, was it Zhu Jiuyin At that time, I thought his death was a bit suspicious."

Left Guangshu has recently grown fond of eating street food, which offers no benefit to his physical health but simply provides the warmth and familiarity of everyday life. This hobby stemmed from his travels with Qu Shunhua.

Now he's taking Ginger Look to explore the narrow alleys, trying out those highly-rated "fly restaurants" one by one. Just like this bowl of beef offal noodles in front of him, the tendon is soft and rotten, the tripe is chewy, and the intestines are flavorful.

The young master ate and talked at the same time, his mouth full of oil.

"How would I know" Jiang Wang also mumbled, taking a quick breath amidst his busy schedule: "For such a crucial matter, hasn't anyone from the Chu state gone to confirm it"

"Alas," Guangshen let out a slight sigh, "Grandpa said that the imperial court doesn't want to do anything that might cause Huang Weizhen misunderstanding in this matter of her return. They don't want to interfere with this process at all. So, no one, including Duke An, has gone to contact Ge Fei again."

Jiang Wang was stunned. The relationship between Chu Guo and Huang Wei was truly subtle...

He always felt that Huang Wei was truly Chu State's biggest asset. Huang Wei's return meant the entire nation of Chu was united, working together to repair roads, build bridges, and prepare a welcome mat.

But Chu Guo's attitude now really doesn't seem like that of someone who is very close to Huang Wei.

"Huang Wei is really..."

Jiang Wang hadn't thought of how to ask, but Zuo Guangshu already knew his question.

The young master of the Chu state held a strand of noodles, turned his head to look across the street, his eyes complex: "What Huang Wei did back then was the same thing he did."

>

Following Zuo Guangshu's gaze, he saw a young man bending down and unloading a sack of rice from his shoulders in front of a small hut. The old woman at the door bowed repeatedly but was held back. A child playing in the dirt on the ground received a wooden sword as a gift.

I could hear such a sound —

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

"We set up a free school in Wutong Lane. Children can enroll for free and we also provide two meals a day..."

The young man was explaining softly, as if he sensed something, turned his head and met Jiang Wang's gaze.

Chu Yuzhi!
