Nine towns lie flat along the river, and for millennia, its blessings have reached billions of people.
Due to its unique position in the town's defense, and the imperial blessings bestowed by the ancient emperor, there were also prodigies who achieved enlightenment on the Nine Town Stone Bridge.
But looking back at history, we can reach the root. There weren't many "true gains" on Jiuzhen Stone Bridge.
>
Because nine towns converge on the path, and heaven and earth are not readily apparent. Although it contains profound Tao, outsiders find it difficult to discern its form. Jiangwang possesses both heaven's time, earth's resources, and harmony of people, aided by the Dragon Lord, thus achieving something.
And among them was Lü Qiu Wenyue, the first female prime minister of the countries, known as "her literary thoughts shine like the moon illuminating all ages."
And she was not like Jiang Wang, who had obtained it by chance and fate. But because of her own path, she sought what she desired!
In the era of antiquity, the Dragon Emperor's Nine Sons were nine "Kings who stood side by side".
Are there not more than nine sons of the Emperor Fuxi
This man has thousands of concubines in his harem, giving birth to hundreds of children and thousands of grandchildren!
Among these nine sons, each excelled in their own way, capable of shouldering great responsibilities and ruling over their respective domains, thus achieving fame.
The Nine Sons of the Dragon King were also the highest rulers of the ancient water race. Therefore, Emperor Lieshan's use of the Nine Sons of the Dragon King to govern the river was not merely about cutting off the Dragon Clan's path and using their mighty bodies to build bridges. It was also a matter of status, establishing authority over the subjugated people and filling the position of ruler over the river.
Lu Qiu Wen Yue wanted to emulate the stories of ancient emperors, using the nine sons of the Dragon King and even going further, suppressing the East China Sea!
In those past years, it was unknown to the world.
Today, as the sun rises, a powerful wave will sweep across the nine states.
The building was like a palm-sized universe. With a flip of his hand, he swallowed vast amounts of primordial energy and unleashed six terrifying giant beasts. Their breaths intertwined, spanning across the ancient stone carvings at the edge of the world.
And outside the axe-like island of Deqiao, Pei Hongjiu, with a handsome face, also raised his hand to tear open the sky. From that "ocean of heaven," he pulled out the laws of heaven and earth that had materialized into lines, drawing down a bird with long, bright feathers, as splendid as a phoenix.
This bird is graceful in its posture, singing when it spreads its wings. Its beak resembles a silver hook, and its wings are like drooping clouds. It is the descendant of the "Chao Feng," one of the nine sons of the Dragon Emperor!
A phoenix does not perch on an ordinary tree, nor does a wise man choose to live just anywhere.
This island once saw conflict between the Five Immortals Gate and the Furious Whale Gang. The Five Immortals Gate had the backing of the Diaohai Tower's Jade Pearl Granny, who in turn belonged to the faction led by Elder Gu Huai-xin of Jinghai. It was under Gu Huai-xin's instructions that she, through the Five Immortals Gate, set up a transmission channel for the Wind-Mocking Descent on this island.
Of course, Old Lady Bi Zhu's level of understanding wouldn't extend to the specific plans behind it. Even Elder Gu Hui Xin, who was once incredibly powerful, no longer exists.
But the cooperation between Diao Hailou and Jing Guo, many of the arrangements left by the precarious era still exist.
Forgotten by the Lou of the Dished Sea, abandoned by the Lou of the Dished Sea, and then picked up one by one by the people of Jingguo. Following the broken bridge, ascending to the opposite shore again.

Winter Island has been a well-established island under the control of the Chongxuan family for many years, personally overseen by Chongxuan Minghe, the great-uncle of the current Duke of Bowang.
This gentleman lives alone overseas, and even when the old marquis passed away, he only offered a remote prayer. It can be said that he has devoted the rest of his life to this island and cannot allow anyone to offend it.
When Xu San led his troops to appear here, the entire Wu Ding Island blazed brightly for thousands of miles. Arrows flew through the air, and it immediately entered a state of war.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
On the island, the large formations gradually opened, and the island's army quickly assembled. Chong Xuan Minghe even took the lead and rose into the air, intercepting Xu San before him.
Just twenty nautical miles outside of Winter Island, Xu San suddenly stopped.
He glanced at the reefs beneath the sea, unbuckled the blue gourd from his waist, and tossed it into the air: “I have long heard of Chong Xuan’s name. As a junior, I come from the west to pay my respects—a cup to you!”
The emerald-green gourd, smooth and delicate, shot up into the heavens in a flash.
As soon as his mouth opened, the aroma of wine spread out.
A cup of wine, hanging like a waterfall, pouring into a river.
Here we go!
From the clear, flowing wine waterfall, a graceful figure with a dragon's head and a fish's body suddenly leaped. Its dragon whiskers trembled gently, it looked around curiously, its divine light dancing with the heavenly light.
It began to rain suddenly in the clear sky, with a clattering sound.
The entire Isle of Winterhold was instantly shrouded in a heavy downpour, the clouds thick and impenetrable, the sound of rain drowning out all other noise. It was said that the son of the ancient Dragon Emperor, known as Chi-Wen, had a giant maw that devoured everything, and he always accompanied wind and rain.
This beast, resembling a chimera, appeared outside the Frost Islands. In an instant, it took command of the island's wind and rain, controlling all four seasons’ weather.
"Very well! The young are indeed formidable! This old man, could I possibly be lacking in tact and refuse a toast!" Chong Xuan Minghe roared, having already gathered the Island Garrison to form an army formation and rapidly mobilized the power of the Guardian Island Array.
With a surge of military might, the formation blazed with power. The combined might of the army and island formations became one, unleashing a force surpassing their current cultivation level. A skybridge formed, piercing through the thick clouds. With each step, they covered a hundred meters, ascending rapidly until they reached a height of ten thousand meters.
With his right hand raised high, he summoned a tremendously heavy, suspended colossal cannon. It tore through the rain curtain, roaring as it plummeted, splitting the sky and sea, charging straight towards the terrifying dragonfish.
This gun resembles a mountain peak falling, but when the cold light meets iron, it gathers the golden energy of all directions, vast and unstoppable, sharp and irresistible!
Even the unremarkable Chong Xuan Minghe, under the name of Chong Xuan's family, possesses such abilities. It is truly admirable.
However, today I came to this Outer Winter Island not just on my own.
The wine he adored was the "Delusion Spring" from Mount Daluo. The dragonfish he summoned was of the purest Chiwen bloodline!
Compared to the giant turtle raised in You Guo, this Chiwen was personally purified by King Jin Ji Xuanzhen's bloodline. It can be said that it is a direct descendant of the Chiwen clan, so it is raised very luxuriously.
If it weren't for the grand plan to pacify the sea, King Jin wouldn't have been willing to let him go.
Facing Chong Xuanminghe's fierce attack, the colossal dragonfish, carrying wind and rain, merely flicked its tail once. It opened its mouth, transforming it into a gaping maw that swallowed the heavens, effortlessly consuming the giant spear. Its dragon eyes held no gleam, its massive jaws closed shut, not even a belch escaped.
“The Chongxuan clan has produced many renowned generals. Minghe, a predecessor, was quick to deploy troops and decisive in battle. Moreover, he could seamlessly combine formations of land and sea, demonstrating extraordinary skill!” Xu San sincerely praised with a nod, then bowed: “I’ve come here for the sake of the seashores across the land. I am not an enemy but a friend—the toast was just a jest, there's no need for bloodshed.”
He flicked his sleeve, sending Chongxuan Minghe back to the island. Then he leaped onto the Dragonfish's back and rode it into the sky.
The heavy Xuan Minghe, who fell on Wudong Island, looked up at the young Heavenly Pride's back in silence.
The Heavy Xuan family has produced many renowned generals, but Heavy Xuan Minghe is truly not one of them!
He never intended to return to the mainland for the rest of his life, and he knew he could never compare to his second brother. He just didn't expect that even though he was diligently training soldiers on Winter Island, he would be surpassed so quickly by young people.
A person, it seems, no matter how hard they struggle, will always stop at the initial chasm they couldn't cross. This is the tragedy of mediocrity.
At this very moment, if someone were to look down from the highest point above, they could see the entire near-sea archipelago, with frequent changes and transformations.
The waters of the ghostface fish, Getchiou Island, Winterless Island, and Sky's Edge, these four disparate places, all had soaring brilliance, complex visions. All emanated an ancient aura, and thunderclouds rolled over them.

And the breath of heaven and earth converged, merging into a formation of four images. They summoned the ancient starry sky, blending into boundless power!
Everything starts from the tyranny below—
Ba Xia once held the heavens, was most adept at understanding the Way of Heaven, and most capable of bearing the weight, which is why he was able to become the starting point of this great idea.
...Taking Dìnghǎilóu as the tomb and Chén Dū Ancient Sword as the tombstone, this was an arrangement personally made by Chén Dū Zhēnjūn Wēixīn. Relying on Dìnghǎilóu's years of accumulation at sea, it helped Jǐng Guó Lúqiū Wényuè's plan proceed smoothly. It recalled the power lost by the Dragon Clan's ruler under the Ancient Times and added to the sacred turtle body that had been nurtured for many years in Yòuguó...
The might of the Bajiquan has transcended time, connecting history and opening the gate for the return of the Nine Children of the Dragon Emperor. The Nine Children of the Dragon Emperor, bound by blood and their shared path, are awakened. Thus, descendants of the Chaofeng lineage follow the Dao and descend, while those of the Chiwen bloodline leap forth from the Wine Waterfall.
The breaths and might of Zhaofeng and Chiwen, of course, also descended upon the mortal realm.
As for the summons of Taiyuan Zhenren Lou Yue in front of Tianya Platform, it was the descendants of bloodlines of Qiniu, Yazi, Pulao, Suanni, Bi'an, and Fu Xi, these six great beasts.
These six strange beasts were all bred by the Jingguo with secret methods, raised in special environments for many years, everything was designed for today's burden. Picked up by Lou Yue with a palm and thrown into the sea.
The Nine Children Bloodline Beasts, at this precise moment in time, appeared in different locations across the nearby island chain. Heaven, Earth, and time aligned perfectly, everything was just right. Every detail, down to the exact landing spot of each beast, had been meticulously calculated beforehand.
At this very moment, a sound shakes the heavens and earth, causing all sides to surrender!

The Nine Children of the Beast each possess unique postures, but without exception, they are blessed with boundless Qi and consume vast amounts of primordial energy. Their blood surges like rivers and seas, their auras chasing one another relentlessly.
...Keep soaring!
Each majestic and imposing figure, spreading their path like a grand procession, seems to be about to overturn the world.

The Dragon Emperor, Xihun, had nine sons, and each of the nine sons possessed a unique path.
In the medieval period, reflecting the present world, at this moment when the power of the Nine Sons was summoned, these grand paths also became clearly manifested.
>
From the meaning of "Dao," it becomes the external manifestation of a road, the extension of a road.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Nine celestial paths converged into one, unfolding across diverse marine environments—be it stormy seas or tranquil skies. A radiant path illuminated the expanse, revealing the ethereal forms of the nine Dragon Children striding along the golden pathway.
All sea creatures, upon seeing this heavenly path laid out before them, are as though witnessing the sun and moon!
Boom, boom, boom.
Jiǔzǐ resolutely walked, from the distant past to the clear present. Every step forward caused mountains to shake and earth to tremble.
Unlimited golden light, endless brilliance.
Just like the medieval times have come back to life!
That was the era when dragons and humans co-ruled the world, the period known as "when there were two suns in the sky." The Dragon Emperor and the Human Emperor reigned together, illuminating the world.
One is to control water, the other is to control land, and they share the sky.
At that time, the dragon clan was still the "Supreme Clan," the "Most Honorable Beings." The divine dragons soared in the heavens, their virtues benefiting all creatures, commanding clouds and bringing rain.
The influence of this tribe was so great that even after being declared an enemy and driven to the vast ocean, their image remained indelible in countless myths and legends.
Even the emperor had to be called "the True Dragon Son of Heaven". The supreme throne was called the Dragon Throne, and the struggle for succession was called "the Dragon Struggle".
Because in the medieval era, human tribes were very willing to ask for blessings from the divine dragon when their chiefs were in power. The true dragon shed its scales and turned them into a great chair, gifting it to the chief of the human tribe, signifying power—the closeness between humans and dragons at that time, and the deep entanglement between the two races, is evident here.
Before such a huge commotion, Ye Hanyu's smile on her face finally disappeared.
He had thought of many possibilities, but the grand scale of Jingguo's Plan to Calm the Sea was still beyond imagination!
The people of Jing Guo would actually want to take advantage of the situation in which the barrier between realms is sealed and the war between humans and sea creatures has temporarily ceased, using the nine sons of the Dragon Emperor, to carry out a plot against those who have fallen from the vast ocean.
Lou Yue's face was adorned with an air of majestic grandeur. He flung open his arms, displaying the expanse of his robe: "Jǐng Rén has come from the west, and you all tremble in fear, trembling and terrified. What have you to fear The islands near the sea are not something that Jing Guo seeks! Maritime dominance is not what Jing Guo desires! Grand Zhongyang Jing holds aspirations for the prosperity of all human generations. Before the war of Shenxiao begins— we shall forever quell the maritime troubles!"
This voice shook the heavens and earth, booming like thunder.
Even a refined person like Ye Hanyu, with their elegant bearing and grace, was left speechless for a moment: "How could this be possible!"
>
Even if Jing Guo used all sorts of secret methods and met every stringent requirement to cultivate the Nine Sons bloodline, even if the people of Jing Guo, relying on years of preparation, successfully summoned the power of the nine sons of the ancient dragon emperor... Even if they had already accomplished such an incredible feat!
But how to bypass the maze and cast the power of nine sons into the vast sea
How can one achieve "eternal peace amidst the vast ocean of suffering"
Just at that moment, there was a rustle of garments, and a man of neither tall nor short stature, dressed in plain clothes, walked with utmost calmness to Ye Hanyu's side.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He wore a pained expression, his eyes held a hint of surprise, but he looked at Lou Yue with extreme gentleness.
Ye Hanyu's heart, which had been tumultuous and restless, suddenly calmed down.
During these years, the state of Qi waged incessant wars and conquests. In a contemporary era where its position was nearly unshakeable, it defeated powerful adversaries one after another, ultimately ascending to the status of a hegemon in the east. Talented generals emerged like stars in the sky, dazzling all who beheld them.
When people talk about famous generals from the State of Qi, Cao Jie is certainly not the most fearsome, nor the most memorable or widely recognized. But he was absolutely the most reliable.
As long as Cao is around, there won't be any major problems.
The emperor evaluated him as "the best strategist in the world," but Ye Hanyu privately believed that Cao Jie was "the worst strategist who could still keep his army intact." He would never be the one to lose everything, he would always have the power to fight back and always retain hope.
The Jing Guo people came this time with a formidable force, without any prior warning. The incident was sudden and earth-shattering. The Zhenhai Alliance's prior preparations were completely inadequate for such a major event, to the point where it could be said that they had no preparation at all! But since Cao Jie arrived, everything wouldn't be too bad.
He is the one who makes people believe that.
And at this time, standing beside the graceful Ye Hanyu, Cao Jie, who now commanded the Tianfu Army as the emperor of Dai Qi, merely raised his eyes and asked, "The Morning Cangwu Sword"
Aim your sword at Cangwu!
Ye Hanyu had, after all, not personally participated in the last war against the Netherworld. Unlike Cao Jie, who had fought on the front lines, he lacked a deep understanding of the situation in the Netherworld. Hearing Cao Jie speak, he suddenly realized and pieced together the cause and effect, vaguely grasping the key!
The last War of the Mystical Realm, commanded by Qi Xiaoquan and involving many powerful figures from various paths, resulted in a great victory for the human race. The most significant achievement was that Chao Cangwu Sword gained an advantage over the Samsara Dragon Staff. This standoff between transcendental artifacts will directly affect the outcome of battles between transcendental beings!
The Cangwu Realm suppressed the Saha Dragon Domain.
The Cangwu Realm has been under the stewardship of the Penglai Island for many years, managed by the real person of Penglai Island. How much preparation there has been in it over the years is something that cannot be known to others. The Cangwu Sword, which appears as the morning glory of the Cangwu Realm, was originally a soldier of the Lord of the Penglai Dao.
>
Why were the people of Jing Guo confident in completing the Nine Sons Suppressing Sea
Because Zhao Cangwu Sword currently holds the upper hand in the standoff, it can be passively used.
The War of the Mystic Realm, in which the people of Qi led and numerous coastal factions paid a heavy price, actually provided Jing Country's Plan for Ocean Security with the greatest advantage it had since its inception.
This is truly something to ponder.
Every sip and every drop, is it not predetermined by heaven
"Cao Jie is truly Cao Jie!" Behind Lou Yue stood six terrifying beasts, each in a unique pose, bearing the weight of ancient power. But no matter how grand they were, they couldn't overshadow his own charisma. He turned back to the Tianya Stage: "You have already glimpsed the key. Our generation will release the box, it is time for the Zhaocang Wujian!"
Cao Jie exclaimed, "Luqiu Wen Yue is truly cunning, patient, and possesses a vast vision!"
“Hold on!” Lou Yue looked at him, his eyes unreadable: “Are you going to stop me”
This time, Jing Guo's eastward expansion was a large-scale naval campaign. It was the "Plan for Securing the Seas" formulated and executed by Lü Qiu Wen Yue, and also his Lou Jue's battle of proving his way. He intended to use this grand plan, riding on the dragon of auspicious energy, to advance into the East China Sea. In this process, he would kill any gods that stood in his way, slay any Buddhas, and perfect himself. With the most powerful posture, he would ascend to the peak!
The great trend is for the Nine Sons to鎮海, and the great trend is for Jingren to定海. The human race advances relentlessly, overcoming the sea disaster, crushing all sides, and it is even more a great trend!
No matter who comes to stop him today, he will fight.
Ambition vast, unmatched in prowess.
This is a test.
Facing Lou Yue's imposing posture and brimming confidence, Cao Jie, whose face usually seemed full of woe, didn't display any hint of intense emotion.
"Cao Jie, are you stopping Lord Lou from making plans What difficulties could there be If Qi wants to block Jing by sea, what is there that they can't do"
He replied softly, his voice extremely calm and confident! He shook his head again: "But Qi wouldn't do that. Anything that benefits the coastal defenses and the overall well-being of humankind, our Qi state will not oppose. If Jing can pacify the East China Sea, allowing tens of millions of sea dwellers to live in peace forever, and making it so that land dwellers no longer have to worry about attacks from the east— what does the Great Qi Empire care about maritime dominance Let you come, let us share, and in the future, we will contend together!"his is the path to transcendence that he discovered through his arduous journey of seeking enlightenment.Please note: The original text within the > tags was empty.
