Chapter Thirty-One: Though the Turtle Is Long-Lived
Of course, judging by Wu Yi's current contact, the Hell's Gate coroner Wang doesn't seem to like wearing masks either..."Coroner"A silver-white light curtain appeared, Yin Guan’s brows furrowed slight...Random Recommendation:
Bai Yu Xia's "Xiao Qian Xiang Zan Nian Dao" is a method of true meaning. This "cutting hair" is not literally cutting one's hair, Bai Guan (the shop owner) isn't a monk... It means "cutting away the threads of worry".
Eliminate distracting thoughts, free yourself from worries, and retain your authenticity.
In ancient times, exploring the hidden secrets of the human body in the Five Realms Seas was a pursuit of self-understanding by practitioners. Divine Ability Seeds arise from chance encounters and vary greatly. Many practitioners may never have the fortune to encounter them in their lifetime.

Theoretically, the Nei Fu realm is a solitary journey of introspection for practitioners. Theoretically, "siddhis come from self-seeking," but practice itself is a continuous process of exploration and breakthrough.
Over a long history of practice, there have inevitably been people who sought to influence it. Among them are many exceptionally talented individuals who have made significant breakthroughs, leaving behind some lasting impacts.
For example, some divine abilities like "Celestial Sword" and "Wolf Diagram" require grinding away spiritual seeds to achieve. Others, such as "Heavy Profound," "Dou Zhan Golden Body," and "Nan Ming Inferno," can be partially inherited through bloodlines.
There are also killing techniques cultivated using divine seeds as fuel, such as "Divine Extinction."
Both Bai Yu Xia and Lian Yu Chan came from prestigious families, so they naturally knew how to help Chu Yao as much as possible in establishing a direction for exploration. Within the allowed conditions, they would select the perfect divine ability—in the exploration of divine abilities, there was no guarantee of success, but it could have some effect more or less.
Jiang Wang wouldn't think that he had suffered in the past, and his apprentice should suffer too. Having a good start, a stable environment, and a smooth process is nothing bad. Making those around him live better is one of the meanings of his efforts.

He wished Jiang An'an could reach the pinnacle with just smiles and laughter.
But as for this divine ability, it's only from the dragon gate to the inner palace, not like confinement. There's no need for so many people to fuss around and take care of me.
Life is full of obstacles, how can one expect so many people to always be by their side

At crucial moments in life, not everyone has the fortune to meet someone like Chu HaoXue, who stands as a bridge connecting destinies.
Of course, Jiang Wang would do his best to help his disciple. But he was also afraid that he might not be able to help in time, or even be as helpless as he was back in Fenglin City. He hoped that Chu Yao had the ability to face things on her own.
However, Qing Yu and the others' kindness towards Chu Yao, as her master, he couldn't just brush it aside.
"I just fought Master Shu WeiJun, and one of my樁法 (standing meditation techniques) has almost reached completion. You can try practicing it if you have time. For the Dao of True Understanding, it should be quite beneficial." Master Jiang divided his divine thoughts into three and gave them to Ye QingYu, Bai YuXia, and Lian YuChan: "It's called 'True Self Meditation'. Standing in this position will protect you from external evils."
Bai Yu Xia understood the meaning of the master of the house. This was letting them focus more on their own cultivation and not surrounding Chu Yao too tightly. She smiled and said, "Good point!"
This is a travel allowance, not part of your salary.
“What about me” Jiang An’an acted coquettishly: “I don’t need to know the true way! Although I’m weak, I have ideals too!”
Jiang Wang glanced at her younger sister and Chu Yao, who was peeking from the side. She then shot out two more wisps of Xian Nian: "'True Self" you guys still can't stand firm, first stand this set of "'Self"'. Every night before sleep, stand for half an hour, if you don't stand enough, you are not allowed to sleep. This spell isn't hard, the key is consistency."
"Self-determination" is a simplified version of "true self-determination." One can practice before the divine arrival. First, determine "I". As for whether this "I" is true or not, let's talk about it later.

Jiang Annan and Chu Yao both need to be set for a certain amount.
Once a man who had tasted the food of a hundred households and learned the arts of a hundred families, Jiang Qingyang, is now a true master worthy of founding his own school. With a single thought released, he embodies the essence of a hundred schools of thought.
He himself didn't feel much melancholy. Only Ye Qingyu stood beside him, her thoughts drifting far away for a moment.
As a direct disciple of Master Jiang, Chu Yao had her own interpretation of her master's "standards."
"It's not hard," means "it's very hard to practice."
"It might be a little tough", means it takes a lot of hard work to master.
"It's pretty tiring", meaning practicing makes me feel like "I don't want to live anymore"...

As soon as Aunt An-An opened her mouth, there was half an hour added to the evening classes. Who could reason with her
He closed his eyes and silently repeated in his mind: "I have the Blade of Severing Thoughts, I have the Blade of Severing Thoughts..."
The sight of the Immortal Boat was like a blade slicing through clouds, instantly shattering the sea of mist.
It seemed as if a curtain had been lifted, and the mountains and rivers of Wei were now bathed in the red and black hues of their flags.

Dàwèi was located on the fertile land along the south bank of the Changhe River. During the era of numerous sages when "clans flourished and a hundred schools of thought contended," many large clans were established there, but none could last. They all perished in constant warfare against each other.
Since the establishment of the national system, this place has always been a battlefield.
The State of Wei, from its very establishment, was a formidable force!
Facing the grand Central Plain to the north, standing against the mighty Chu of the South, facing Song to the west, and looking eastward towards Xia, none of these are weaklings. They submit to none.
Of course, the price of not submitting is to be beaten on one side and kicked on the other. The territory shrinks with each fight, and the national power weakens with every conflict. It's also because all sides are holding back, especially Jing and Chu, who are unwilling to have direct confrontations again. They need a buffer zone to allow it to survive in a precarious state.
However, today it is five cities, tomorrow ten cities, the more they fight, the thinner they become, truly becoming increasingly "thin".
Before Emperor Wei Ming ascended the throne, the national title "Wei" was almost erased!

But no matter what, from the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty to now, the bones of the Wei people are visible to everyone in the world.
It can be said that the Wei state's national power was not strong, but it cannot be said that its army was not strong. They were veteran soldiers accumulated over countless wars, their military prowess honed by confronting numerous powerful enemies.
>
After Wei Ming Emperor ascended the throne, he diligently governed the country, forging alliances with various factions and transforming the nation's image. He devoted thirty years to recuperation and fostering prosperity, another thirty years to accumulating wealth among the people. It wasn't until his sixth decade of rule that he launched sweeping reforms, strengthening the military and preparing for war.
This meeting between the monarch and the King of Jing at the Chang River was also recorded in history as a famous chapter. He successfully persuaded the King of Jing with his "Ten Arguments on Wei City," breaking the long-term blockade of Wei by Jing and opening up a window for trade, thus obtaining a large amount of resources in Zhongyu.
Today, the emperor of Wei was also a child who had just entered his teens. He made his first appearance in history during this meeting.
Time flows like a long river. After the painstaking efforts of Emperors Wei Ming and Wei Qin, we have today's Wei, a nation worthy of being called "great."

As the great general Wu Qin of Wei stated, this time when Jiang Wang went to Wei, he, as a soldier who had been with Emperor Wei for many years, requested to inspect the newly arrived soldiers on their first day.
Therefore, when the ship of perception pierced through the clouds and arrived, the first thing one saw was an army of around ten thousand people arranged in a square formation.
It’s not that the land of Wei wasn't vast and impressive, nor that it lacked wonders and breathtaking scenery. It was this army that truly outshone everything else. Arranged on the plains, silent and still, it possessed a grandeur that surpassed even mountains and seas.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Seeing this army, one can truly understand what it means to be "awe-inspiring and powerful like a mountain and river."
These ten thousand men were all warriors. Just their formations alone exuded an awe-inspiring presence. Their vital energy surged like burning torches in the depths of night. The naturally rising steam of their life force gathered into a crimson peak high above them.
Look again at the soldiers' appearance - each one was nine feet tall, broad-shouldered and round-waisted, powerful and imposing. It seemed as if all the strong men in the world had gathered together, standing in perfect order and silence like sculptures. They wore heavy armor, horned helmets on their heads, quivers of arrows on their backs, and rhinoceros shields on their shoulders. They held long spears in their hands, crossbows hung from their arms, bloody-patterned short swords at their waists, and iron chains with hooked ends wrapped around their shins.
This equipment can adapt to most battlefield environments.
Simply by their weight, they are a thousand pounds. Each one is armed to the teeth, a weapon designed for killing.
>
A young general galloped past, raising his flag with a single motion.
When tens of thousands of soldiers stood poised with their spears, it was like the sound of a drumroll. With a single roar, it sounded just like thunder: “War!”
But behold, blood qi surged from their bodies, instantly transforming into spectral warriors. That intensely condensed spectral energy formed a bloody dragon with black scales in mid-air, incredibly agile and imposing!
"Master Jiang!" This dragon circled above the clouds, lowering its head and looking at the pure white boat: "How do you find my army"
All the people on board were cultivating, Jiang Wang stood alone at the bow of the boat.
He cast a glance and saw that the leading general was just a martial artist of the twenty-heavy heaven, his blood qi had not yet been refined into divinity, nor had he reached the level of "I am like a god descending." He casually said: “Yu Chan, the Great Wei soldiers have officially formed an army, and you have just reached the divine realm, haven't stretched your muscles and bones. Why don't you go down and try out your sword"
Lien Yuchan revoked the true self mantra she had just learned, and her god-like breath instantly surged out like unleashed horses. She leaped from the fairy boat without hesitation, brandishing her twin swords, splitting the army asunder.
The restaurant servers at Baiyijing Restaurant are powerful figures, even amongst gods. In a small country, they could easily hold the nation together.
She drew her sword, causing clouds to surge and roil. Thunder rumbled in the sea of clouds. Her sword strike unleashed a roar from the earth, cracking the plain everywhere.
From the depths of the cloud sea, a thunder dragon swooped down. From the abyss of the earth fissures, a giant tiger burst forth.
The scene was chaotic, as if heaven and earth were in turmoil. The plain where the troops assembled was engulfed by a maelstrom of energy, with the five elements reversed and displaced. One side of the sky was clear, while the other was shrouded in rain. Wind, frost, snow, and sun danced unpredictably throughout the battlefield.
This is what is meant by "Two Instruments, Dragon and Tiger"!
But listen—
A strong wind howls!
The tightly arrayed troops were shrouded in an aura of killing intent. From the midst of this murderous throng, a black banner with a red field emerged, bearing the character "Wei" on one side and "Wu" on the other; there was no other adornment.
When this flag is raised, heaven and earth are in order. The wind and rain are favorable, and thunder and frost cease abruptly.
That blood-backed black-scaled Calamity Dragon, just at this moment turned back, with one claw pressed down on the gigantic earth tiger, and with its tail swept open that lightning dragon.
"Let go!"
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
This short command, fittingly resonated with the drums, possessed a soul-stirring power. As the "Martial" flag unfurled, in an instant, arrows were unleashed, a dark torrent raining down from heaven.
These arrows were extraordinary, with sharp arrowheads and hollow shafts. Their straight tails were engraved with the markings of the five elements: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. They appeared dense and chaotic, but their flight was remarkably ordered. In mid-air, they formed formations, pushing and connecting with each other. As a result, this rain of arrows was colder than a frosty night and faster than thunder!
Lian Yuchun was rotating her swords in mid-air, about to strike back, when suddenly she felt a tug on her shoulder and was sent flying back to the Jianwen Immortal Boat.
But seeing Jiang Wang standing at the bow of the boat, his five fingers pointing towards—
The roaring and rolling dragon of soldiers, the boundless rain of arrows that howled across the heavens, all came to a halt in mid-air.
All have been locked on by the threads of experience!
Then, it disappeared without a trace after being wiped away by Jiang Wang's big hand.
Just in this fleeting moment, the feeling became clear.
At this moment, Master Jiang also gave his evaluation: "Wei Wu's soldiers are truly the bravest warriors in the world!"
>
Lian Yuchang stood behind Jiang Wang, still somewhat reluctant, but she also knew that there was no need to try again. After all, she came from a military family. Although Bai YuXia often mocked her for being rigid in her tactics and only sticking to the textbook, her tactical ability was not low. Of course, she also recognized the strength of such an army before her.
Strictly speaking, the current Wei Wu soldiers are not comparable to the powerful army like Dou E. However, throughout history, how many armies like Dou E have there been
Wu Hu's overwhelming vitality on the battlefield was already very evident to Lian Yuchan.
At present, the martial arts are just beginning to flourish, and Wei, having seized the initiative in military fortune, is at its prime!
At this moment, the martial flag unfurled, revealing a breathtaking panorama. Wu Qin, with his broad eyebrows and piercing eyes, clad in heavy armor, parted the soldiers like a curtain being pushed aside. He ascended to the cloud-kissed sky, a radiant smile on his face: "These four characters, 'The Greatest Martial Arts in the World,' I shall have them inscribed on a stele, erected within the military camp!"
As the saying goes, happiness brings vigor.
Given the current situation in Wei, he constantly had to suppress a smile.
Jiang Wang looked at the martial arts master and also smiled: "I, Jiang, am not a military expert, so I can't comment on soldiers. However, I have a basic understanding of martial arts and can distinguish between gold and jade. Master Wu, please don't hold back later, and let me know what it means to be at the peak of martial arts!"
Wu Xin confidently said, "We needn't evaluate ourselves. This stele stands there, and from now on, all people in the world will know what kind of vision Master Jiang has!"
He didn't say much else, and immediately got to the point: "If we let loose and fight, the eight thousand li of Wei State's land won't be enough to exhaust us."
In the open air, he beckoned with his hand: "Why don't we take a trip to the military training ground With our national strength encircling the borders, our soldiers fierce in battle, and the Tiger Talisman commanding the field, surely we can stretch our limbs without any problem"
>
Jiang Wang simply said, "The guest is free to do as they please!"
Immediately, one after the other, they fell from the high heavens.
Previously from above, it was just a plain, all I could see were the military might of Wei Wu's soldiers. Now as we descend upon the cloud heads, it feels strangely familiar.
Jiang Wang has been here before...
Although times have changed and the scenery is no longer what it used to be, the feelings it once brought to Jiang Wang were profound.
A group of people landed directly at the edge of the training ground where Wei Wu's soldiers usually practiced. The sight was vast and everywhere were traces of swords and arrows.
Wu Xun asked, "Master Jiang, do you recognize where this is"
Jiang Wang was silent for a long time: "Xianlan County, Moucheng, Wansang Town."
In the past, Master Zhang Linchuan, the founder of the school of Wu Sheng, committed heinous acts and incurred countless blood debts. One such incident was this very night's Sang Town Massacre.

Jiang An'an unconsciously clenched onto Ye Qingyu's sleeve, but Ye Qingyu simply patted her head. Who hadn't read that public letter written in blood
Wu Qin said, "After that incident, it wasn't convenient for people to live here anymore. We leveled it and made it one of the military camps for our soldiers. The Wansang Military Camp is now the largest camp we have."

As he spoke, he walked towards the schoolyard, his sword bumping against his armor leaves with a hissing sound: "This place is heavy with resentment. Only an army can hold it down."
The first of martial arts is to ensure the safety of the country with martial prowess.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The first merit is to secure the borders and ensure the safety of the people.
The Wan Sang Town massacre was undoubtedly a disgrace for the Wei army. Although it is like using a giant crossbow to shoot a fly to mobilize the entire Wei army to search for Zhang Linchuan, who was hiding in plain sight, it is difficult to hit the target. Though Zhang Linchuan is extremely cunning and cruel, he has been evading punishment by traveling through Qi, Dan, Song, Yue, Gao... many places. It's truly not their fault that the Wei army made mistakes and couldn't say they didn't try their best.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But the Wei soldiers who witnessed the tragedy in Wan Sang Town found it hard to forgive themselves.
At that time, General Qin Wenqi, who was in charge of sealing off the Wansang crime scene and verifying the crime, was planted with evil seeds by Zhang Linchuan and died as a carrier who took him away from the borders of Wei. Of the soldiers who followed Qin Wenqi out of the country to hunt down the suspect, twelve committed suicide in Wansang Town, seven went insane, and one died during his practice because he was too eager for quick results and pushed himself too hard during the breakthrough.
Of course, these things are not important to people outside of the Wei state and probably don't need to be remembered. It's just surplus if it is even mentioned in history books.
Jiang Wang followed Wu Xin towards the schoolyard and finally said, "Fortunately, Zhang Linchuan is dead. He died very cleanly."
The vast schoolyard had been emptied. Besides a flag flapping in the wind, there were only two peerless masters standing on opposite sides of the courtyard.
Wu Xun didn't say another word, raising his bronze spear with one hand and holding it horizontally in front of him: "This is a martial spear, called 'Gui Sui Shou'."
And with the other hand, he patted the short sword on his hip: "This is a killing sword, named 'Da Ye'."
