Chapter Seventy-Fifth: Dawn and Distance
and snakes rise from the land. With one punch, heaven and earth reverse!Using thunder spells to transform and subdue all murderous intent in heaven, earth, and humanity.Let me know if you have other t...As a teacher with no face, Yao Fu must have done everything he could.
As a friend of Zhao Wuyan, Jiang Wang could only do so much... perhaps just visit for a while.
>
Even Yao Fu, who stood at the pinnacle of cultivation and controlled Longmen Academy, couldn't think of another way. How could he possibly...
Jiang Wang looked at the complex shadowplay of words before him, his emotions equally complicated: "Looking at Senior Sister... her consciousness seems to be very active"
“Yes, she has never given up.” Yao Fu said softly, “She is still studying, still learning, and still moving forward.”
Imagine a woman trekking alone through an endless night, with no visible path ahead and no glimmer of light in sight. What sustains her journey
Jiang Wang said in a deep voice: "Judging by the current speed, can Senior Sister achieve the feat of integrating all hundred schools and emerging from her cocoon before she reaches the end of her life"
Yao Fu shook his head, his voice tinged with melancholy: "This is the most agonizing part—within five hundred years, I can't see her absorbing the hope of these paths. She keeps moving forward, but the night is longer than she feels, and the road is farther than she imagines."
Xu Xiangqian had already used Jinxiu Shen Tong to bless Zha Wu Yan, but he still couldn't see hope of achieving it within five hundred years.
When Zhao Wuyan announced his failure, it was also the time when Xu Xiangqian left...
Before kicking out Xu Xiangqian, who was mooching off her, two years ago, Jiang Wang never imagined that their next encounter would be like this.
Heaven's will is unpredictable! Life is full of ups and downs!
Of the younger generation of female cultivators that Jiang Wang knew, there were truly only two who displayed the bearing of a master: Jiang Wuyou and Zhao Wuyan.
Of course, this is not to say that Huang Sheli, Ning Shuangrong and others are not talented enough. It's just that their paths are different.
Just because something has the potential to be groundbreaking doesn't necessarily mean it's better than everything else.
Li Yi's cultivation of the Dao sword was also learned from predecessors, but he wasn't like "the world is Li Yi"
But there is no doubt that in this extraordinary world of rapid development and constant innovation, opening a path for more people to walk on has its own unique and brilliant brilliance.
Jiang Wuyou and Zhao Wu'yan's paths seem very close to the "Great Achievement of Saints" path of the Zhushen era, the latter being more similar, but they are actually different.
A great achievement of sainthood lies in using a single thought to integrate all thoughts, exploring the ultimate truth of the universe, and explaining everything in the world. It is an ideal endpoint.
Jiang Wuyou's "Zikai Dao Wu" is about integrating martial arts into Taoism, using Taoist principles to practice martial arts, and incorporating martial arts into the existing cultivation system.
... while the faceless "amalgamation of a hundred schools, opening its own path" is to select the best from each school and form one's own. Just like tea leaves take their tips, flowers take their pistils, finally brewing a pot of flower tea.
This is undoubtedly an extremely grand idea.
But with hundreds of schools of thought, how vast is the accumulation of knowledge! Even within Confucianism alone, there are countless branches. Many people dedicate their entire lives to study and still wouldn't dare claim to have achieved mastery.
Zha Wu-yan is already a genius among geniuses, but to say that at this age, he has accomplished the feat of blending hundreds of schools, even if it is just setting up a framework, is simply inconceivable.
Back then, at the Dragon Palace Banquet, she made her debut, displaying the aura of a master who had absorbed teachings from all schools. She caused quite a stir, even shaking the mountain of books. Although the commotion caused by the Dragon Palace Banquet was overshadowed by the battle against Zhentian, according to Wu Yan's reputation, it still echoed throughout the Confucian sect.
Unfortunately, this path is more difficult than imagined. In the end, at the step of "making it true", I couldn't control such a vast journey. Mountains collapsed and roads were blocked, bound by the Dao.
Had she not been at Longmen Academy at the time, and Yao Fu had not intervened, she would no longer exist.
This already happened at the beginning of the year. Longmen Academy suppressed the news, taking a full nine months to try every possible way to treat it, but could only maintain the current situation of this "text cocoon".
Zi Shu was able to reply and inform Jiang Wang of this matter, which also showed that Longmen Academy had no other way out — in Zha Wu Yan's current state, there was no other solution, and the news needn't be hidden any longer.
Jiang Wang silently walked out of the room and sat down next to Xu Xiangqian.
His understanding of Wúyǎn was actually quite superficial. Their interactions were all mediated by XǔXiàngqián. He only knew that she was the senior sister of Lóngmén Academy, and that she was learned and talented... Wúyǎn was a woman with a strong sense of righteousness, who was mostly rational and rarely expressed her emotions, like still water without ripples. Therefore, the impression she gave was not as deep as that of the innocent and lovely Zǐshū.
But he knew that Xu Xiangqian loved this person very much.
For her sake, he gave up drinking, stopped her from going on "expeditions," followed her all over the world, and never complained even when she was cold and distant. Now, he also offers her his life, binding their fates together.
As a friend of Hsu Xiangqian, what can he do How can he comfort him
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
At last, he just sat quietly beside her.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Outside the courtyard, there was a apricot tree. A few branches were picked out and stretched over the wall, their bare limbs eloquently expressing the autumn mood.
This was a night that was not gentle, the moonlight flowing like water. The shadows of people on the ground were rudely disturbed by the tree shadows.
After a while, Zishu also came out and sat down on the stone steps beside him. She crossed her legs and rested her chin on her knees.
None of them spoke.
That’s how we quietly sat through the whole evening.
When the first rays of dawn pierced through the darkness, Zi Shu raised her misty eyes. For a fleeting moment, she saw the courtyard bathed in gold.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"What are you going to do" Jiang Wang finally asked.
Xu Xiangqian's scattered spirit was gently pulled back together.
Only then did he begin to understand Jiang Wang's voice, and only then did he begin to answer: "What can we do"
“I'm saying—are you going to just sit here all day”
Xu Xiangqian turned his head, and his eyes were filled with despair. Jiang Wang had never seen such a defeated Xu Gao'e before. He said, “I’ve tried everything.”
“I understand, I know you've been working hard.” Jiang Wang said, “You're actually a very smart and capable person, you've definitely tried everything you could. You couldn't think of a way, and neither could I. But I noticed... your sash is tied with hers—”
Xu Xiangqian turned back in surprise: "Don't persuade me, I won't undo it."
Jiang Wangdao: "Of course, I understand what kind of person you are. I know you will never give up on Zhao Shujie, and I wouldn't try to persuade you either. Speaking of which, do you really know yourself"
"Me" Xu Xiangqian gave a wry smile. "Perhaps I'm just trash."
Xu Xiangqian would say, "I am one of the twin prodigies of Gangan Mountain. I and Jiang Wang are evenly matched, and I am also considered the top student of the Yellow River."
Xu Xiangqian would say, “With books as his traveling companions and fame spread far and wide, who else could compare”
Xu Xiangqian was overconfident in his poetic talent, so arrogant that it seemed he didn't know the difference between heaven and earth.
But he would never say, he was a failure.
He is the most self-assured person in the world, almost blindly believing in himself.
"Fate" is such a cruel word, it always has to turn people upside down before its waves can be seen.
"As expected," Jiang Wang said, "Although you often boast, you don't know how amazing you are, you don't know how powerful your divine abilities are... Remember the Shenxiao world The place where the Ten Thousand Realms War will begin in twenty-nine years."
Xu Xiangqian did not speak.
Jiang Wang said to himself, "That is a world of divine lightning where transcendent layouts exist, celestial demons roam, true demons make their move, and demon kings lay siege. And I, just a small divine apparition, am alone in it. They have found me—could there be a more desperate situation"
“Yes. At the same time, I was also being watched by the heavenly will of the demon realm. Every attempt I made to return home was shattered, and I can't even remember how many times I tried... But you know what
“At that time, I had already been struck down by a sword. I realized I was going to die, and my spirit was scattered. I felt like a leaky raft, rapidly deflating... But then, suddenly, I woke up again.”
"At that moment, I thought to myself—"
“After traveling for countless miles to a foreign land and spending countless days away from humanity, how can one find a sense of security in this perilous world of sharp swords”
Jiang Wang sighed wistfully, then lifted her voice again: “So it was my friends who were thinking of me. It was my dearest friend Xu Xiangqian, in the distant mortal world, praying for me, weaving the brocade on my body with his life. He is waiting for me to return!”
He looked at Xu Xiangqian, his hand on Xu Xiangqian's shoulder, brushing away the autumn dew: "I was able to return from the demon world, all thanks to your help. I never told you how amazing you are. Friendship between men, it seems, is always so hard to express. But Gaoge brother, according to what Sister Shi is actually in dire need of you right now. What she needs isn't you sitting here. If you can Dongzhen, Jinxiu can help her more. If you can Yan Dao, she will have a chance of success. And if you can surpass yourself, then she will be enlightened tomorrow. You agree"
Xu Xiangqian remained silent.
Jiang Wang just quietly waited for him, pressing his shoulders, letting him feel the support of a friend, the belief of a close companion.
After a long time, Xu Xiangqian reached out and opened Jiang Wang's hand: "First, I don't call Gao'e senior brother."
"Very well, Brother Shenxiu." Jiang Wang immediately changed his tone.
"Second, you pinched my shoulder."
"I'm sorry," Master Jiang immediately apologized. "Shall I press it for you again"
Third, you're right—I need to break free!
“My suggestion is to start small. Don't make the leap too big, give people some space to accept it. What do you think”
Xu Xiangqian immediately jumped up: "I'll go cultivate right now, Master Jiang! Are there any good places you recommend"
“It's a trouble magnet,” Jiang Wang seriously analyzed. “Now that the Dusk Drum Academy has stabilized and with the Sea of Learning there, it's relatively safe.”
"Lead the way!" Xu Xiangqian said without hesitation.
Jiang Wang shook his head and apologized, "You'll have to go alone. I'm a member of the Tai Xu Pavilion now, with heavy responsibilities, so I'm not very free."
If it were Xu Xiangqian from before, hearing this news would have driven him to madness with envy. But now, he simply said: "Very good. Publish the Taixu Scroll quest quickly and ask for advice from all over the world. See who can solve the problem of the Text Cocoon."
Jiang Wangdao: "It has been issued."
Members of the Tai Xu Pavilion naturally have the right to publish tasks. They will not ignore the wisdom of people all over the world. Although Yao Fu said it was unsolvable, Yao Fu is just one person's opinion.
“Good brother!” Xu Xiangqian raised his foot to fly away, but then he remembered something and reached out to Jiang Wang: "Give me some travel expenses, I'll leave right away. Poor families have many roads, give me a little more."
This person is the second one, besides Jiang An'an, who can get money from Jiang Mou's pocket.

Jiang Wang silently took the storage box from Dou Zhao and passed it on.
Saving money is like picking up sand with a needle, spending it is like pushing sand with water!
He grabbed it, then turned and ran.
“Like the Qian hexagram.” Yao Fu stepped into the room and called to him: “You still can’t leave now. Wu Yan's situation isn’t optimistic, your divine abilities could be touched at any time. If she can’t hold on halfway, staying in Longmen Academy, I might still be able to save your life.”
He never supported the relationship between Zhao Wuyan and Xu Xiangqian. But he didn't oppose it either. Because Zhao Wuyan has always been a very determined person, and he has always given freedom.
He just couldn't understand why his proud disciple would fancy such a lazy fellow. It wasn't until during this time when Xu Xiangqian was self-binding in the cocoon that he truly got to know him. Only then did he realize that some people possess beauty, others virtue, and others, true character.
At this moment, his concern for Xu Xiangqian was genuine.
But Xu Xiangqian did not turn back. In the morning light, his voice that remained was faint and distant—“She won’t give up, because if she gives up, I will die.”
Xu Xiangqian left, but Jiang Wang did not.
Yao Fu's gaze fell on him, his eyes asking—Is there anything else
Jiang Wang explained, "I have something I want to ask Miss Zishu."
Yao Fu glanced at his daughter, then at Jiang Wang, said nothing, and turned to leave.
"Brother Jiang, what's wrong" Zi Shu tried her best to compose herself, hoping she could be someone who could handle problems instead of just crying.
But when Jiang Wang opened her mouth, she wanted to cry again— "I've been so hard on you this time."
The person before her was the one she idolized, the role model she had been chasing for a long time. She admired Jiang Wang even before he became number one in the world.
Back then, at the Heavenly Horizon Platform, seeing Jiang Wang return from the Netherworld, she was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes... She wanted to be like that. Unbending and unwavering, her word heavier than the heavens themselves.
“It wasn’t hard.” She bit her lip and said, “Senior Sister worked very hard.”
Jiang Wang said in a gentle voice, "Relax a little and ease your emotions. There's nothing important I need to ask you... I know you traveled with Zhào Shijie and Xu Xiangqian to the Snowy Country before. I'm going to the Snowy Country on business soon. Could you give me some information about it"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Zi Shu then earnestly began to tell them about the Snow Country she knew.
The perspective she shared was just like a little girl's travelogue from a foreign land, brimming with novelty and wonder. As she talked, her emotions gradually calmed down.
Jiang Wang only then said, "Thank you for letting me know a little about this country. It's been very helpful to me. Uh, I have one more thing I want to ask you - when the Winter Emperor gave guidance to Shijie, were you there"
Zi Shu immediately reacted: "Brother Jiang, do you think the Winter Emperor is problematic"
"Don't overthink it, I'm not doubting the Winter Emperor." Jiang Wang's eyes were gentle and his expression calm: "I just want to understand a little about your journey of choosing the path of cultivation... see if I can find a way to help you."
His voice was as calm as still water, and even Zish yumu unconsciously calmed down, slowly recalling the bits and pieces of the past.
"Both my fellow disciple Xu and I were present. We met Emperor Dong in a wine house, where she was being pursued and disguised herself. We didn't recognize each other at first. Shijie and Fellow Disciple Xu were discussing Shimei Ji Li's book "Twenty-Three Types of Literary Structure from Recent Antiquity," when Emperor Dong suddenly interjected, pointing out an error made by Fellow Disciple Xu... Afterward, she chatted with Shijie, gradually moving beyond Confucianism and discussing various schools of thought. The conversation became increasingly abstract, to the point where I found it difficult to follow. Fellow Disciple Xu grew tired of listening and fell asleep beside me... Later, we discovered that this disguised woman was Xie Ai."
Zi Shu talked a lot, not really getting to the point. She just recounted every encounter she remembered with Xie Ai, carefully and meticulously, afraid of missing even a tiny detail that might interfere with her idol's judgment.
Jiang Wang listened quietly to the recounting, and did not offer any opinions. She simply said, “Good, I understand now. Thank you for telling me so much. This is very helpful to me.”
He said again, "If there are any changes on Shijie's side, please contact me through the Tai Xu Huan Jing as soon as possible. Are you about to divine presence You should be able to divine presence soon. I have always been optimistic about you... work hard."
