Chapter 3: Changsheng Town

turned his head to the sound and saw that it was Sun Xiaoman, who looked petite and adorable. She was bouncing around in the crowd, waving at him excitedly.Beside her walked a round, chubby man. If it...Shall the transcendental ancient strength of the Dou Zhen remain

Since it has been confirmed that some people have walked the path of transcendence, should we try

The long journey of cultivation is also the long journey of cultivating the heart.

Every mountaineer of practice, first must subdue desire.

But no matter how intense the seven emotions and six desires are, how can they compare to "the end of cultivation" for a cultivator

That was the ultimate future that had been gazed upon from the very beginning, transcending an eternity already immeasurable.

Zuo Guangshu and Qu Shunhua both watched Jiang Wang silently, unsure of what choice he would make.

Jiang Wang took a bite of fish and said lightly, "That's enough."

"You've achieved so much at your age. I thought you would choose the third path—resisting the celestial human state while searching for another way forward," Left Xiao said, letting out a breath and sounding somewhat relieved.

Jiang Wang held his chopsticks and calmly said, "My emotions are becoming increasingly faint. Now I have almost no emotions. Eating this delicious fish doesn't bring me satisfaction. Mocking Dou Zhao repeatedly doesn't give me pleasure. Although I am respectful to you, I hardly feel any love for you in my heart. When I see Guangshu and Shunhua, I should be happy, but I only know that I should be happy. In my heart... there is no feeling. From the moment I rushed out of Yuxian Forest until now, everything I say and do is based on my memories. It's like a shell named 'Jiang Wang' that I might have made—I don't have particularly strong impulses to do anything in particular. I need powerful emotional stimulation, but I find it very difficult to grasp."

He scooped up a mouthful of rice and chewed it slowly, as if by doing so he was awakening the warmth of human life. He continued, "My memory tells me that I have this same clear understanding in my heart—I know you would never harm me. You have a vision and power far beyond mine. Since you haven't mentioned a third or fourth path, it's clear they don't exist, or even if they do, I couldn't possibly take them. I understand that I am not all-powerful."

He thought for a moment and added, "From Yuxian Forest to Chu State, this short journey has dissipated most of my emotions, leaving only a faint glimmer. To maintain oneself in the Heavenly Dao for a long time, I fear I would find it extremely difficult."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! I'm ready for more.

"This is a big decision, you can think about it some more." Zu Xia said softly, "We still have time."

Of course, he hoped to seal Jiang Wang's Tianren state for her. It was the most stable and safest option. But when Jiang Wang truly made this choice, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her —

After all, this is a visible path to transcendence.

In this vast world, with billions upon billions of beings, regardless of their path, their origins, or their natural talents, fortune, and temperament, only a minuscule fraction among countless millions can see the path to transcendence!

>

And he, Zuo Xiao, has been cut off forever.

He was seasoned by life, having weathered many storms. The joys and sorrows of the world had been swallowed whole. But when he looked into his own heart, if there were still a path to transcendence ahead, could he resist the urge to approach it

He himself didn't have the answers.

Of course, Jiang Wang could sense the feelings of Duke Huai. After a moment's thought, he asked, "What happened to the immortals who appeared in history in the end"

“Either you enter the Heavenly Dao through resistance, or you enter it through compromise.” Zuo Xiao said, “The one in the sea of sin should be the only exception. As for why they are an exception, I don't know either. But now, trapped in the Sea of Sin and becoming one of the Three Evils, it must have been a rather unpleasant process.”

"Do you know of any famous figures from history who exemplified the harmony between heaven and humanity" Jiang Wang continued, "I'd like to study their deeds and learn from them."

Zuo Xiao said: "The realm of heaven and man is not so easy to reach, it requires the utmost. Because it is close to Heaven, there are no desires or pursuits, and many do not seek fame. Since the Dao's new beginning, there are probably only a few famous heavenly and human beings... one called Wu Zhai Xue."

Jiang Wang raised his eyes: "Ghost Wrapped in Hemp"

"You knew that" Zuo Xiao was a little surprised. He probably feared hurting his junior's self-esteem, and explained, "This person has no surviving works, and a long time has passed. Many people have forgotten him already."

Jiang Wangdao: “There was a senior who treated me very well, named Yu Beidou. He told me about this person, saying that Wu Zaixue was known as the devil in history.”

“As far as Heaven's Way is concerned, humans, demons, monsters, and ghosts are probably no different.” Zuo Xiao said, “Wu Zhai Xue’s grand ambitions to slay demons and his stubborn solitary path show that he still had his own self at the time.”

"What happened later" Jiang Wang asked, "Did he harmonize with Heaven's Way"

"I don't know, he disappeared very abruptly." Zuo Xiao said: "But in his letter to He Guan Sanren, there was such a sentence -- ancients are not human, and the snow of the qing Dynasty should be outside ancient and modern times."

The riverbank wanderer... Another name that's memorable but not very familiar. Hearing Zuo Xiao talk about these things always gives me a feeling of history colliding with history.

Jiang Wang couldn't help but ask: "What is the relationship between He Guan San Ren and Wu Zhai Xue Were they people from the same era"

"He Guan Sanren must be much older, a figure from before Dao Li's new revelation. There's always a stale flavor to his words, constantly reminiscing about "how things were back then." Of course, Wu Zhai Xue isn't young either, probably around the same age as Jing Guo's second emperor. As for the relationship between He Guan Sanren and Wu Zhai Xue... it should be good"

The sealed-off historical figures, through Zuo Xiao’s words, took on a vague outline: "After entering the state of heaven and man, Wu Zaixue rarely socialized. Those who could receive a reply from him must have been close friends. Judging by the content of that old letter, it should also be Heguan Sanren's initiative to care about him. However, there seems to be no record of their interactions in public – these were all things thousands of years ago. Apart from those who witnessed them firsthand, who could say for sure"

Ji Furen has already transcended, and his name is indeed not easy to mention. Especially someone like Zuo Xiao, who is so powerful and always acts according to the rules. Once his name is spoken, it will attract even more attention.

Reading is also a form of cultivation. When Jiang Wangquan was in history class, he asked, "I've always heard the name 'He Guan San Ren'. But I don't know who he or she is, whether they are male or female, and if they are still alive"

"It's getting late." Zuo Xiao casually said, "Do you think I suddenly brought up the emperor with you for no reason"

Jiang Wang stared: "He killed him"

Zuo Xiao nodded.

Zuo Guangshuo muttered beside him: "That He Guan Sanren died too early, Jing Er was a king of the same era as our Taizu."

"The River Pass wanderer was famous, mainly because some people who dared to be angry but not speak out used him as a mouthpiece. Those words were not necessarily all his own. He didn't die so early after all." Zuo Xiao discovered that this kid's codename was particularly useful and immediately put it to use: "After Jing Er abdicated, it took a long time before he went to kill him. He said that when he was emperor, he had a belly full of resentment, and cursed 'Old, rotten tongue,' so he killed the wanderer as a wanderer. He even erased his traces."

The River Pass Wanderer resolutely opposed the national system, the first thing he opposed was the Central Grand Emperor Empire.

Jiang Wang could fully imagine how this person, with such arrogance and wildness, would have scolded the people of Jing Guo back then.

>

This looks like Emperor Jingwen was a man of true character. In history books, he's famous for being a benevolent ruler who loved his people deeply, respected the elderly, and cried for the common people. He seemed to be unable to even swat a fly without feeling remorse…

“I have no other questions.” Jiang Wang put down his chopsticks, resting his hands on his knees: “Master Zuo, please grant me the celestial and human form.”

"You didn't even ask anything." Zuo Xiao looked at him, "It seems you weren't hesitant at all"

"I'm being honest. I just wanted to ask a few questions so you'd know I've thought about it,"

Zuo Xiao no longer hesitated: "It's a perfect opportunity to wipe out Nandou Dian and seize their accumulated wealth and heritage. There's a talisman called 'Nandou Changsheng Zhen' within, ideal for your situation. It's even more suitable than all the sealing methods in Chu."

He came to this point, and raised his hand directly, connecting the Six Dharma Seals, and suddenly flipped them—

Six stars were born instantly, floating around Jiang Wang.

Every star is inscribed with a character, which are respectively Tianfu, Tianliang, Tianji, Tiantong, Xiang, and Qisha.

>

All six of the Southern Dipper's true stars have died, save for the Seven Killers!

Six stars each have their own trajectory, flying around Jiang Wangdao's body. They resemble six shackles, imprisoning this true person's body.

“With Beidou slaying Nandou, cutting off the last echo of Nandou Hall. Now with Nandou sealing Beidou, it can be considered a reconciliation of fate and karma, cause and effect following each other…” Zuo Xiao raised an eyebrow and pressed his seal: “Zi Chou, Yin Hai, Mao Xu, Chen You, Si Shen, Wu Wei, heaven has a dead end, the extreme south is a abyss, the eight wildernesses are exhausted, and the six harmonies are broken. By this decree, I seal it!”

With this press, it was as if the heavens had been pressed onto the earth.

Those six stars flew into Jiang Wang's Taoist body.

As if embraced by the cosmos six times, all things in the world are both near and far away.

Jiang Wang sat quietly, feeling deeply.

“How are you feeling now” Zuo Xiao asked after a while.

Jiang Wang slowly loosened her ten fingers and then clenched them into a fist, repeating the action three times before smiling and saying, "It's very light."

At this moment, he had fallen from his peak state, no longer wielding the power to cleave through levels of influence with a single sword strike. Yet, every moment he grasped was a genuine reflection of himself.

Zuo Xiao looked into his eyes, confirming that his heavenly human state had been sealed, and his emotions had returned to himself. He then retracted the Dharma seal and casually said: “The Heavenly Dao is very troublesome, and from now on, every September 29th, you will have to come to my place, and I will help you reinforce the seal.”

Jiang Wang did not dare to be careless, cautiously asked: "Can't be early or late, can't miss a day"

"Hmm..." The old man saw his seriousness and explained, "It doesn't need to be so punctual. The seal I placed on you is still very stable. It's mainly about coming to check regularly --"

Speaking of this, his gaze shifted to the person beside him, Zuo Guangshu: "Look at Guangshu."

Jiang Wang immediately turned serious: "Then you must come often. Reinforcing the seal is no small matter."

"Speaking, he smiled again: 'This Changsheng Town Seal on my body is like Grandpa Zuo put a longevity lock on me.'"

>

Left Xia also smiled: "That's the meaning."

Qū Shùnhuá waited with bated breath beside as Húan Guogōng finished sealing the celestial and earthly forms. Only then did he ask, “After sealing the celestial and earthly forms, how strong is Elder Brother Jiāng now”

“Far inferior to before.” Jiang Wang scrutinized himself: “But also a pinnacle of insight.”

Left Guangshu looked at him with regret: "Big brother, your ancient times cave truly is the first in killing power. It's just a bit too short."

Jiang Wang smiled faintly, "That probably means... I need to achieve a prolonged period of invincibility."

Zuo Guangshu let out an “ah” and clapped his hands. “Looks like the mood is back.”

Zuo Xiao casually picked up the Changsheng Sisun from the table. This thing was indeed helpful in finding Changsheng Jun. Only then did he remember to ask, "What did King Zhao summon you for"

Jiang Wang didn't hide anything from him: "He wants to know what information I received when I was watched by that being in the Meteor Immortal Forest. For this, he is willing to exchange for the method that being in the Sea of Calamity used to maintain its own self. I'm not sure if this is also one of his purposes. I didn't listen because I'm afraid that once I know the method, I won't be able to control myself."

“You're doing the right thing.” Zuo Xiao encouraged, “You’re determined. This will be the right choice.”

Jiang Wang said again: "In the Yinxian Forest, at the moment when I was being watched, I only received two words -- 'Wuming.'"

Her husband's path to transcendence ended in the Immortal Burial Forest, at the hands of that mysterious transcendent being. It was something he didn't ask about, but Jiang Wang would proactively bring up anyway.

Hearing these two words, Zuo Xiao fell silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "A sage has no name!"

>

"Are these two words important" Jiang Wang asked. "Should I not have told King Zhao"

"King Zhao is not simple, you can't help but tell him. Even if something happens because of this, no one will blame you." Zuo Xiao said, "Besides, the Equal Nation will also put in a lot of effort this time to quell the immortals in the Jingping Forest. Tell him it's fine - how much do you interact with him"

Jiang Wangdao said: "Before, the country of Equality had invited me several times. This time was the first formal contact with King Zhao, but he didn't invite me again."

"You've come this far, you can't be swayed by anyone else's ideals anymore. He has no need to do anything pointless." Zuo Xiao said, noticing that Jiang Wang's expression was a little strange: "What's wrong"

“Oh, it's nothing.” Jiang Wang smiled. “There’s been a bit of commotion over at the Tai Xu Mountain gate…”

Boom boom boom!

This content was empty. There was nothing to translate.

As if a meteor had fallen from the sky, a pitch-black, monstrous shadow charged fiercely towards Tai Xu Mountain Gate.

The Taixu Pavilion is a sacred place, the core of all the pavilion departments. Naturally, it won't tolerate any reckless behavior.

As this darkness became heavy with shadows, brilliance burst forth from within the mountain gate. Each of the major divisions vied with one another, their blades sharp and ready to meet the enemy!

But in the sea of clouds, a rainbow bridge suddenly appeared. A magnificent war chariot flew out from the mountains, coming to greet them from afar.

All the noblemen fell silent.

It was one of our own!

It was a chariot from the highest tower that flew out. Upon it landed a figure clad in armor, wielding a heavy sword.

It turned out that all of you had gotten ahead of yourselves.

As soon as this person entered the mountain gate, he let out a "Hey!" and raised his hand to punch, blasting through the clouds and mist. The fist wind raged like a tornado, sweeping in all directions, arrogant to the extreme!

As Wujiang, the general of Tianxia City, was still looking out from the city wall, he suddenly heard a flurry of punches and kicks hitting the gate with loud booms. This startled him.

This newcomer is really something else. He doesn't even know anyone and he's going around smashing things. He's so arrogant, it's unbelievable.

This kind of arrogance is different from others, with a sense of beauty that resembles a pig unafraid of scalding water.

Wu Jiangchen didn't say anything either. This kind of thing was something Li Yi was too lazy to bother with. He shook his head and walked down the city wall. When it came to doing specific things, he had a specific attitude. As long as it wasn't specifically targeting Tianxia City, he wouldn't take the initiative to cause trouble for Li Yi.

Even such a vast Taixu Mountain gate, there are those with hot tempers.

The fist wind was still raging, and suddenly Huang Sheli soared into the air, his long robe billowing in the wind as he shouted, “Who is this grandson scoundrel! This old lady was just drinking wine, ah no, studying, you damn…”

“That man in heavy armor took off his helmet, revealing a face with eagle-eyes and a hawk's beard. He faced all directions, surrounded by his men, a smile on his face as he boomed, "Hello! Hello! Good to meet you all! Greetings, Ms. Huang! From now on, we are comrades, so let me introduce myself!"

“Who the hell is saying hello like that —” Huang Sheli’s eyes narrowed as she looked at the man. “Zhong Li Yan What brings you here And with your comrades, comrades, isn't Dou Zhao dead”

Zhongli Yan originally still had the heart to say a few words, but upon hearing this, he immediately drew his heavy sword and roared like a lion: "Where are they Where are the other cabinet members Don't just eat your meals! Come out and work! Hurry up, hurry up, convene the Tai Xu meeting, I want to join the cabinet!"

"This office is very displeased with your attitude towards work!"

He held up his sword and pulled out a silk scroll: "The letter from the State of Chu is here, personally penned by the Emperor of Chu, with the seal of the Chu Empire! Hurry and gather here, I demand passage!"f his understanding of Jiang Wang's personality that Chong Xuan hesitated whether to tell him about this. He hadn't received the news today, but today he knew that Jiang Wang had already set off back...
