Chapter 365: A Gathering of Global Beauty
drooped slightly.“There will inevitably be regrets,” Jiang Wang said, “but I still have to move forward.”“No one will stay put and wait for you. Everyone has their own story to live.” Gu Shiyi said."I..."The land is a boundless sea," so vast that of course not everyone can fly across it with their physical bodies.
If ordinary people want to cross the river, they don't have to risk their lives by rowing and battling the waves.
There are a total of nine bridges built across the entire river.
These nine bridges boast a long and storied history, standing firm as testament to the enduring power of time. They are ancient structures passed down through the ages from the Middle Ages, each imbued with remarkable strength and resilience.

In ancient legends, the Human Emperor beheaded the nine sons of Dragon Emperor and forged them into nine bridges, forever pinning down the Chang River to prevent it from surging with waves.
And it has continued to this day.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
Therefore, Jiuxiang Bridge is also known as "Nine Towns".
During that time, there were many times when countries or sects on both sides of the long river wanted to build a new bridge.
>
After all, the river is simply too long, almost spanning all known parts of the world. With so much traffic to and fro, nine bridges are far from enough.
But no matter which country takes the lead, no matter how much manpower and resources are spent, no bridge can last.
How much time has passed, how many great forces have dissipated.
In the past, there were nine bridges across the river. Even today, these nine ancient bridges still stand.
"The First Town" was located further west in the country of Wan, like a chokepoint at the throat of the Long River. "The Ninth Town," on the other hand, was close to the Xia Country, like a nail firmly hammered at the tail end of the Long River.
The army of the State of Qi, after crossing the South River of the State of Wo, marched across the fifth bridge.
This bridge is named Suanni (suān
He (or she) stood under the bridge.
If before Jiang Wang only regarded "Jiuzhen" as a legend, after learning the ins and outs of the Yellow River Meeting, his feelings were different.
The Split Water Clan, pursuing the Dragon Emperor. It's not inconceivable that the third generation emperor, who achieved such great feats, truly slayed nine sons of the Dragon Emperor and refined them into nine bridges.
"Jiuzhen" and "Guanhetai," perhaps complement each other perfectly.
The long river flows through the world, passing through fertile lands and scenic spots. It bends southward at one point.
Here is the translated content:

That is to say, the flow direction of the Huanghe River section is from northwest to southeast. It is not as straight eastwards as it was before.
The Suanni Bridge happens to be at the upper end of this turn, that is, spanning where the section of the Yellow River begins.
Even more coincidentally, the end of the section of the Yellow River is "Sixth Town", where Bazha Bridge is located.
The section of the Yellow River flows right under the watchful eyes of Guānhé Tái, and it just so happens that there are two bridges at each end of the river. This can no longer be described as a mere coincidence.

This section of the river is the most serious area for flooding.
...only needs to be suppressed in this way.
Jiang Wang, driving "Flame Illumination," along with two other national prodigies, stepped onto the Suanni Bridge under the guard of the Tianfu Army soldiers.
At this time, General Cao was riding at the front of the procession.
The Suanni Bridge is a straight bridge, not an arched bridge.
The river, too, becomes more turbulent as it flows through here, roaring and rushing southeast.
This ancient stone bridge is truly vast.
Hundreds of people lined up on the bridge, as small as ants.
But the bridge is very simple and rustic in design, with no unnecessary ornamentation, inheriting a typical medieval style. Everything is practical.
When riding slowly, one can hear the surging sound of water.
That subtle tremor brought a feeling of tangible oppression.
It was as if a gigantic beast were running and roaring under the stone bridge.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
And this stone bridge is so solid and sturdy, it firmly suppresses all turmoil, giving people a great sense of security.
The Qi team marched on the right side of Suanni Bridge. Jiang Wang turned his head to the right, glancing past Ji Zhaonan and Chong Xuanzun on his right, staring at the surging white waves...
Like a colossal dragon, it burst forth from the unknown. Its roar echoed for thousands of miles, spanning across all directions, smashing through mighty mountains and shattering high plateaus... Everything in its path was swept away by an overwhelming torrent.
How distant and long that river is!
Even straining your eyes, you can't see the end.

He wasn't the first time to see the Chang River, but he was still shocked by this "ancestral river".
This is the mother river that has nourished countless generations of people for untold years.
She is so great, so vast.
But today is especially different...
The water level of the long river has already risen high.
Judging by Jiang Wang's estimation, when the river reaches this point and its waves surge high, they are already within three zhang of the current bridge. Considering the magnitude of the Chang River, if the water level rises just a little more, almost any moderately sized wave could wash over the bridge.
When water levels inundate the bridge...
One can easily imagine what the banks of a long river would look like.
The timing of the Yellow River Conference is determined by the water level of the Yellow River, continuing the tradition of the conference. Before the river overflows its banks, it is held back.
It's just that Jiang Wang was thinking.
What is this water level related to
The boisterous river wind swept across the bridge, also bringing with it many sounds from the other side of the bridge.
Howling wolves, neighing horses, the sound of people talking and laughing.
That was the army of Mukoku.
It was quite a coincidence that the two groups arrived at the bridge almost simultaneously.
However, the two teams stood on opposite sides, clearly separated, leaving a large expanse of empty space in the middle of the wide bridge.
The delegation that came to pay their respects and the expeditionary force arrived together. Jiang Wang had heard about this a long time ago.
The idle soldiers of the Heavenly Covering Army even joked that the grassland people just didn't have any rules.
At this very moment, the Qi army was well-organized and disciplined. Though their numbers were not large, they clearly consisted of elite soldiers.
Although Mu Guo was vast and powerful, there was still a certain degree of chaos within its borders.
>
Jiang Wang instinctively turned his head to look over to the left side of the bridge.
The cart pulled by the white yak, and the imposingly majestic Azure Map Divine Rider had already walked ahead. The Azure Map Divine Rider did maintain its proper military bearing.
On the carriages frolicking at the back, were nobles who had come from the Mu Kingdom to attend the ceremony.
Those servants and slaves were not brought to the Viewing Pavilion; they remained in the pastoral gardens of Fengcheng.
His gaze swept over a burly man with long braids, a masked figure riding a chestnut steed, and a beautiful woman riding a white horse and wearing a silver crown.
A number of knights guarded them.
The man with the braided hair seemed to be telling something amusing, his laughter was very hearty.
Jiang Wang thought, the ones who had eaten and drunk at Qiguan before, or it was just these people.
As for the so-called Princess of the Heavenly Kingdom, he merely glanced at her. He admired those legendary azure eyes without any disrespect. Instead, he looked intently at the masked man. The bronze mask he wore was shaped like a demon, with intricate carvings.
"What are you looking at!"
Let me know if you'd like me to translate something else!
That man with the braided hair suddenly turned his head and stared at him menacingly.
This is not a translation request as it only contains HTML tags. " > " is just the HTML tag sequence for closing a paragraph (

If it were an ordinary day, Jiang Wang would just smile and let it go. Making such a fuss over a few words is really unnecessary.
But now that Qi is representing the alliance in this campaign, we must certainly not lose our prestige.
Therefore, he slightly raised his head and looked at the man, saying: "What about you"
With that said.
>
Suddenly, the entire army of Qi came to a halt.
All the Heavenly Cavalry knights reined in their horses and turned, staring coldly at him.
He was also watching, along with the rest of the Muku team.
A saber hangs at the waist, and a talismaned spear rests on the back.
Immaculately silent, with an overwhelming sense of murderous intent.
Surrounding Helen, naturally, were the imperial cavalry of Great 牧 Empire. Seeing the situation, they all turned their steeds' heads, bearing longbows and carrying curved swords at their hips.
And at the front of the Mu Guo army, the Cang Tu Divine Cavalry also stopped and looked back. Each man held a large iron spear.
The giant wolf's eyes glowed with a cold, eerie light.
On the bridge of the Suanni, for a moment, all was silent!
Only the river raging beneath the bridge continues to churn.
At such a tense moment, Cao Jie remained expressionless and made no statement.
The High Priest of the Kingdom, Nammo Do, also did not come in a chariot.
It was clearly meant for them to solve it themselves.
It's impossible for them to fight naturally. Two powerful national teams would be fighting on the Suanni Bridge before the Yellow River Conference even begins. People all over the world would laugh at such a spectacle.
But the two people who caused friction, came to a preliminary fight for excitement, but it was no problem.
Yuwendu pulled the reins and was about to cross the border alone, challenging that rampant scoundrel.
However...
A hand crept up beside him and seized his reins.
Your Cheng Yi's voice was a bit awkward, but quite convincing: "When others look at you, just look back a few times. With your face, what harm can it bring Are you here to fight and make Jin Ge laugh at you"
...the latter half of the sentence persuaded Yuwen Tuo.
He could only glare fiercely at Jiang Wang, angrily saying, “Look at me, you long-eyed freak!”
King's cavalry: …
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Heavenly Army: ...
Even Helen Yun beside him felt awkward for him.
This guy spent years honing his skills on the brink of life and death, is this all he's got
Fighting isn't good, and threatening someone is even worse.
Besides Zhao Ruocheng, who had guarded the barren border for three years, he achieved nothing!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Zhao Ruocheng simply grabbed Uwen Tuo's reins and pulled him to the other side of the formation: "You got drunk at noon, go rest in the carriage!"
Yuwendu still protested, "Why are you pulling me Don't pull me, I'm not drunk. This kid dares to..."
Please note that the `` characters are part of HTML syntax. They don't need to be translated in this case.
Zhao Ruocheng tightened his grip, forcefully shoving the words into his ears: "If I were him, I'd say this is the confluence of the Yellow River. If you want to fight me, send your Inner Court's number one expert. Are you qualified What are you going to do Beg Jin Ge to come out for you Shameful or not"
Yuwen Duo immediately lowered his flags and stopped fighting.
"I was just showing off a little, who knew the people of Qi were so serious..."
On the Mu Guo side, the Wang Zhang cavalry gathered their momentum.
The giant wolf flicked its ears and turned back, bored.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Azure Dragon Divine Rider continued to advance.
On the Heavenly Covering Army's side, they also quietly restored their formation.
To be honest, having a conflict with this kind of simple-minded ruler isn't very imposing. It actually makes me feel rather embarrassed.
Only Jiang Wang, the person who caused the conflict, although he was also walking forward with the team as usual, seemed... lost in thought.
The mask man's awkward, obviously false voice was jarring to his ears.
Although he hadn't activated his Arhat hearing, his acute control over sound still allowed him to pick up on a sense of familiarity.
He seemed... somewhere, he'd heard this person's voice, heard this person's true voice.
Though it wasn't very clear, I'm sure I've heard it before.
You must have heard of it.
But, when...where...
>
Jiang Wang turned his head again to look in that direction, but the man wearing the bronze mask was no longer in sight.
"Still watching" Ji Zhaonan, driving "Xiaobai," chuckled. "That hothead really came over just now. You actually fought him"
Here is the translation of your text:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wang collected his mind and smiled: "How could that be I definitely told him to call their First Inner Palace. The First Inner Palace of the Mu Kingdom, they train day and night. But this person, he definitely doesn't have the qualifications to fight."
Ji Zhao south nodded, this is the one with brains.
Under the control of both sides, a dispute vanished without a trace.
The team marched on for a while and reached the middle of Suanni Bridge. Jiang Wang saw, ahead on the bridge surface, a huge carving.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It was carved with a strange beast resembling a lion, crouching there, bathed in divine light.
It must be the legendary suanni.
On the whole of "Fifth Town", this is the only place with a carving.
It's incredibly deep and majestic.
Through the passage of time, it remains undimmed; weathering storms, its clarity persists.
As if carrying the vast expanse of time from antiquity to the present.
At first glance, it inspires awe.
Jiang Wang even had a feeling that it seemed like it could jump out of the stone carving at any moment and appear in the real world.
This, of course, is just an illusion.
It was the stone carvings that were too lifelike, their aura both ancient and real.
Perhaps the stone bridge beneath our feet truly has refined the Suzaku into something else...
However, Jiang Wang didn't study the stone carving for long before he saw two priests emerge from Mu Guo's team. They flew over and spread out a thick woolen blanket, covering the carving.
That woolen blanket, painted with some unknown pigment, depicted a divine figure with the body of a wolf, the wings of an eagle, and the hooves of a horse. It was truly imposing.
"What are they doing" Jiang Wang couldn't help but ask.
Ji Zhaonan said: "The suanni in legend likes to sit quietly, enjoy fireworks, and appreciate offerings. The people of Mukuo covered its carvings as a sign that the incense of Mukuo would not be shared. All who believe in Cangtu God wouldn't mind it."
Please note that I cannot interpret or translate any text within the HTML tags themselves. My role is to translate the content between the tags.
A group of countrymen passing by, what kind of incense could they offer...
>
Jiang Wang was speechless: "Aren't the Cangtu Gods a bit petty"
“Stingy” Ji Zhaonan said softly, “The struggle for incense is very bloody.”
Even for Ji Zhao Nan, who has been fighting for years behind the Ten Thousand Demons Gate, this was bloody.
That must have been really gory.
Jiang Wang is not able to imagine it.
The era of Shinto Taikō is long gone.
Let me know if you'd like to translate more text!
Today, the entire world is a realm of divine belief. It consists only of one nation, ruled by a shepherd-king.
Please note that the original content within the was empty.
Not until the entire retinue of Mu Guo had crossed the Suanni Bridge did the two priests left behind go to collect the sheepskin rug with the divine image patterns.
The process was quite strict, and his demeanor was very devout, but Jiang Wang didn't pay any more attention.
After crossing the Suanni Bridge, you could see the Guanhe Terrace at a glance.
It's not that it's truly that close, but rather because of its height and grandeur.
Guāhé tái, while bearing the name "tái" (platform), is not as grand in scale as the typical scenic platforms people are accustomed to.
...but rather a vast and extremely high circular ancient altar. It was said to be "stretching for ninety li in all directions," even larger than the city of Linzi.
Please note: I only translated the content within the > tags. I did not translate the html tags themselves.
This is the world's foremost stage.
It stands on the south bank, across a long river, facing the Tianma Plateau across the river. If viewed from a very high altitude, the viewing platform appears to be almost as large as the Tianma Plateau.
>While turning southeastwards, the Yellow River on this section faces southwestward. It is directly opposite to Jinggu on the northeast bank.
Climbing onto the grand staircase of the Guanhe Terrace, there are a total of ninety-nine steps.
On every level, you can race horses.
The vanguard of the Mu Guo army, having taken the lead, has already vanished without a trace.
Perhaps to prevent further friction, both sides are deliberately maintaining a greater distance.
The Mu nation's army quickened its pace, while the Qi nation's army slowed down.
Suddenly, Chong Xuan asked, "When will our delegation arrive"
Caozhi rode his horse forward, without looking back, and said: "Before Your Majesty arrives, they will arrive first."
Jiang Wang was quite surprised: "Your Majesty will also be there"
>
The arrival of the Qidi emperor can be said to have greatly elevated the scale of the Yellow River Conference.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
After a few days of understanding, Jiang Wang has already attached great importance to the Yellow River Meeting, but now he realizes that he may not be taking it seriously enough!
I didn't say that before!
However, looking at Ji Zhaonan and Chong Xuanzun's expressions, it was obvious they both knew...
"It's not a true deity descending." Cao Jie said casually, "Every time we gather at the Yellow River, our six kingdoms' monarchs always convene."
After walking a few steps, he explained again: "Firstly, the water level of the Great River needs to be suppressed by six Supreme Beings working together. Secondly, the Back Gate of Ten Thousand Demons is of great importance, and only Supremes can make the final decision. Thirdly, for the six Supremes, this is also a necessary opportunity for each other to test and understand each other."
Cao Jie's six nations naturally didn't include any countries besides the Six Powers.
And even the six most powerful countries' emperors will descend upon Guanhetai to watch the battle...
Even if it wasn't his true form descending, it would be enough to strike fear into people's hearts.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It can be said that the six Supremes, wielding the highest authority in the present world, every word and deed of theirs is enough to shake the very fabric of the current world order.
At that time, the viewing platform by the river was probably like the eye of a hurricane.
And the storm it can brew, is one with the power to destroy the world!
Jiang Wang cut off the chaotic thoughts in his heart, allowing himself to return to the most fundamental idea —
Aspire to be the best in the world.
His breathing then became steady again.
"By the way," Cao Jie said, as if casually, "Long Jun of Chang He will also be present."
That makes perfect sense.
Jiang Wang had also thought before, about reinforcing the seal. He always assumed it would be Cao Jie and a few others of equal status from different countries, perhaps aided by some national treasures.
However, it was the six emperors of the Hegemon States who personally took action.
And so, as the six Supremes of the Human race descended upon the Viewing Terrace by the River, it was naturally unsuitable for the Dragon Lord of the Long River, as the nominal master of all waters, to remain absent.
At the same time, please ask Long Jun Changhe to look at the gathering of celestial prodigies from various countries. It is precisely a display of the future of the human race, conforming to Jiang Wang's previous speculation, showing off their military might.
Jiang Wang wryly smiled and said, “Cao Shuai, I will do my best. You don’t need to put any more pressure on me.”
Cao Jie burst into laughter.
For the past few days, Jiang Wang had come every day to seek guidance. Even though Cao Zhenren was a highly accomplished cultivator with extensive knowledge, he couldn't help but feel a headache from being constantly bothered.
The way she deliberately spoke in broken sentences, releasing the news little by little, was a subtle form of "retaliation."
This is also a sign of closeness.
As the horse's hooves crossed the last stone step, Jiang Wang truly stood on the Guanhe Terrace.
The first thing he felt was solemnity.
Upon this ancient, colossal stone platform, history seemed to flow before his eyes like a long river.
That glorious, resplendent, great, surging... countless histories.
At this moment, echoing for millions of years, it meets those who come after.
He seemed to see countless ancestors, struggling step by step to lay the foundation for humankind.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It seems to have also sensed the weight of the phrase, "The Human Emperor pursues the Dragon Emperor across the vast sea."
Countless images flicker in my mind like lanterns.
This is the mark that the great times have left on this glorious stage, and it is also a beautiful gift that human history, the heroic history, has left to those who come after.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wang was deeply moved, unable to extricate himself for a long time.
My heart is filled with emotion, as if I have a thousand words to say.
In this moment, surrounded by these emotions, I find myself speechless.
When he came to his senses, Yan Zhao had already carried him to the exclusive area of Qi State.
The Viewing River Platform is a huge circular platform.
It was empty before, but in just a few days, many new buildings have sprung up.
Pavilions, towers and halls are all present.
"All the wonders of the world come together here." Jiang Wang had heard this before, and now couldn't help but murmur it.
>
Suddenly, a magnificent city seemingly materialized from thin air, each building adorned with intricate designs and radiating opulence.
Jǐng, Qín, Qí, Chǔ, Jīng, and Mù, divided into six directions, marked off the Guanhé Terrace.
And the locations of all other countries in the world are scattered among these six.
Some vassal states and tributary states even directly moved their troops into the territory belonging to the dominant nation.
There are also many independent countries, such as the State of Wei and the State of Qu, that are establishing their own bases.
On the Viewing River Terrace, the locations occupied by the various countries are different from those in the present day.
Jing Guo and Jing Guo are both to the west, Mu Guo and Chu Guo are both to the north, Qi Guo and Qin Guo are both to the south.
To the east, facing a section of the Yellow River, the land was given up...
Jiang Wang guessed, that might be the place left for the Changhe Dragon Palace.
In the very center of the viewing platform, there stood six towering stone pillars that seemed to pierce the clouds. Reaching from heaven to earth, they enclosed a vast expanse of space.
That is where the peerless prodigies from all nations will clash.
Stone pillars surround the area, with faint dao patterns. The interior of the stone pillar is completely unclear.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
At this time, Jiang Wang felt a second emotion, which was "magnificence".
This is indeed the foremost viewing platform in the world, with no other platform comparable to it in terms of scenery.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Cao Jie suddenly said, "All the scenery of the world comes here,' do you know the next sentence"
Jiang Wang shook his head honestly: "I don't know."
Cao Jiedao: "All is like fleeting clouds and smoke, only the long river remains unchanged."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He looked around: “Look at these pavilions and towers, they were built overnight. But when we leave here, they will also be erased in a single night.”
“Who erased it” Jiang Wang couldn't help but ask.
"They have been erased by this viewing platform," Ji Zhaonan said beside him. "The reason they can be built now is only because they are temporarily suppressed by the strong of Jingguo. On this viewing platform, there are countless souls stained with blood, how could it be possible for people to live here"
Jiang Wang suddenly felt his lips were a little dry: "Whose blood soul"
"How can you say this here" Cao Jie said, "The next phrase is to tell you not to be dazzled."
This statement is a veiled reminder.
Jiang Wang earnestly said, "This junior has learned."
Before them stood a towering gate, on the stone plaque above it hung just one character: “Qi.”
After the gate tower, there are various buildings in the style of the Qi state. It's almost like a miniature Linzi.
These buildings were prepared in advance by a contingent of Heavenly Canopy soldiers while they rested in Wo Guo Feng City.
Although Qi State doesn't have the same level of skill in mechanisms as Mo Manor, finding a few talented architectural masters in such a large country wouldn't be difficult.
In the time that followed, they were not the only ones who remained here.
Like the contingents of vassal states such as Xu and Zhao, if they come to watch the River Platform, they will also be stationed there.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Cao Jie led the way down this "Qi" street, saying casually, "You can all go around and explore, but there are many people here, and it's easy to get into trouble. If you want to go out, remember to bring a squad of soldiers with you."
Ji Zhaonan and Chong Xuan followed directly into the room, obviously having no interest in strolling around.
Please let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Jiang Wang had never deliberately concealed his Jiang nationality. To a big figure like Cao Jie, it wouldn't be a secret at all.
What happened to Jiang Wang in his hometown and what he experienced are not important to Qi Guo.
Qi Guo wants the loyalty of the men from Qingyang Town now, in the present. They want their dedication, and they want their future.
This team of soldiers is actually a ceremonial guard, there to fill the space.
Whatever Jiang Wang went to, Qi was his backing.
Of course, if any real disputes were to arise, this squad of soldiers also possessed immense combat power. They could form battle formations at any time and demonstrate the unrivaled killing power of the Nine Soldiers.
Jiang Wang didn't know if the Zhuang State had sent anyone to attend this Yellow River Assembly.
But if troops are deployed, whoever leads them.
He can lead this group to show off their power.
Even if it was Zhuang Gaoxian himself, he wouldn't dare to treat him poorly here on the riverbank.
Just...
Is he Jiang Qingyang trying to show off his power
To show off one's power, one must first be in a position to do so, like having support in Qi.
Jiang Wang didn't hesitate for too long, following the few people...
I stepped into "Qi Street."
