Chapter 328: The Equal Nation
oxian's arms!At this time, Zhuang Gaoxian was completely devoid of any grace. His expression was extremely stern, his anger unconcealed.He grabbed Song Hengjiang by the neck and even roared in a somew...Yi Xingchen's three days of pointing out magical techniques passed quickly.
> Though Chong Xuan Chu Liang taught them how to kill over two days, it felt very slow.
This was simply torture for a full twenty-four hours.
This amiable, short and stout old man gave the three national prodigies a comprehensive crushing defeat.
To say that he has been constantly insulting people is not quite accurate.
But his mouth never stopped insulting...
If it weren't for these three national prodigies, all possessing extraordinary resilience, they would have probably collapsed halfway through the fight.

When Chong Xuan Chulian finally took a step back, ending the two-day “sparring session”.
Jiang Wang, Chong Xuan Zun, and Ji Zhao Nan all saw a look of relaxation on each other's faces.
I wish to go to the confluence of the Yellow River and compete with heroes from all over the world.
They all have an unparalleled confidence.
But Chongxuan Chuliang, with similar strength to them, showed them their own imperfections.
In fact, everyone who has grown to become one of the top young talents in Qi State has their own thoughts and persistence, and they are very clear about what is most suitable for themselves.
The guidance of the strong is the icing on the cake, adding the finer details to a framework already solid with flesh and bone.
Each and every one of them was able to perform to the best of their abilities, even in battle, often exceeding their limits. But when it came to "killing", the carnage truly opened their eyes.
Over these five days of practicing at the Pointing General Platform, they certainly didn't undergo a complete transformation. However, each of them gained something significant.
Among them, Jiang Wang has the weakest foundation.
>
The reason it is called "the weakest" instead of "the worst" is that Jiang Wang's foundation is actually not bad. He got to where he is today, step by step, firmly and powerfully. It's just that due to his background, he lacked guidance from famous teachers, and in the end, there were some shortcomings.
If cultivation is likened to building a tower, his foundation is very stable and the tower is quite tall. However, it may not be as perfectly designed or as beautiful and elegant as the towers of other renowned cultivators.
Jiang Wang was also very attentive to making up for his shortcomings in his daily life. He always seized opportunities to ask strong opponents for advice. Even Li Longchuan, Chong Xuan Sheng, and Zuo Guangshu, peers whose strength he gradually surpassed, he often communicated and discussed with them.
After every battle, I carefully review it and reflect on my experiences and lessons learned.
Under the guidance of powerful figures like Yi Xingchen and Chong Xuan Chuliang, his understanding became more profound. It was as if they had given him a high-level overview, helping him to grasp the whole picture.
After five days, the three who had come to participate in the practice dispersed.
From then on, it was time for them to pursue their individual cultivation. Qi State had provided all the support it could. The Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of War each sent a powerful figure to guide them, putting aside official duties, which was truly generous treatment.

Whether it's Yi Xingchen or Chong Xuan Chuliang, they both save time for them. They come straight to the point and leave after finishing, without wasting a word.
All in all, it was a "fulfilling" five days.
Back at Xiashan Biefu, before I could even show Chongxuan Sheng my progress on the Dianjiangtai, news from the front lines once again stopped me in my tracks...
Speaking of which, before he went to Dianjiangtai for training, the last news he received about the front line was that Daqi General Jiang Mengxiong, alone, climbed Jianfeng Mountain and, with his bare hands, repelled the attacks of the strong Xia Kingdom warriors, even killing a real person on the spot.
At that time, the Xia Kingdom was continuously increasing its troops. The Spring Death Army, ranked second to none among the nine armies, also arrived in time. With 100,000 elite Qi soldiers, they took up position on Jianfeng Mountain. A world-shaking national war was about to enter the decisive stage...
After Jiang Wang left the platform, this war of Qi's proactive southward invasion had already shown its results.
The Xia kingdom, with an army of 500,000, fiercely attacked for three days and nights but failed to break through Jianfeng Mountain, which was personally defended by General Jiang Mengxiong.

It is said that Qi Jiu's army, which had been stationed at Dongji, was also fully prepared and ready to set off for Xia Kingdom at any time.
Faced with Qi's unwavering determination to go to war, even at the cost of national ruin, and the seemingly impenetrable Jianfeng Mountain, Xia finally halted its military conscription on the fourth day.
And on the fifth day, the Xia Kingdom directly sent a five-flowered tied Divine Arrival cultivator to Jianfeng Mountain.
This divine cultivator was highly accomplished.
He was born into an organization called "The Nation of Equality."
What has been causing quite a stir in the state of Qi recently is this very organization.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
After "Cui Zhu Stabbing the Prince" and "Zhang Yong's Lament at the Temple," there were of course more plans. This was a series of actions that, even just thinking about them, filled one with dread. One couldn't help but wonder how long they had been preparing, lurking in the shadows, and even if they had secretly contacted the Xia Kingdom...
But Qi Emperor crushed Shan's son in a direct attack on Xia, shattering the game.
The final result... was that the divine powerhouse who contacted Xia Guo was directly handed over by Xia Guo.
The Xia nation had proven its "innocence" and demonstrated that Cui Zhu, the one who proclaimed the era of Shenwu, was indeed not from the Xia nation. The organization called Pingdengguo also surfaced as a result.

Then, Jiang Mengxiong retreated his army.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
However, before leaving, he left eight characters on Jianfeng Mountain, which read:
>
"Minor punishment for minor offenses, major punishment for major offenses. By imperial order, he is returned."
The Xia Kingdom, of course, couldn't claim innocence either. After a real person died and they failed to conquer Jianfeng Mountain despite a three-day assault, they faced Qi Kingdom’s willingness to escalate the war. Finally, they had no choice but to compromise and sever ties with “Equal Country”.
It can be imagined that, given Xia Guo's status, in the original plan of Ping Deng Guo, it would undoubtedly be a crucial part. At the very least, the two sides had at least a cooperative relationship.
And Jiang Mengxiong left these eight characters to emphasize once again that Jianfeng Mountain was not returned by the Xia Kingdom. Rather, it was "gifted back" by the Emperor of Qi.
Back then, the Sword-Peak Mountain designated as the border by Dayang Nation, today's territory of Qi, is something Qi's ruler also desires. If he wants it, he can take it; if he wants to release it, he can let it go.
The true taste of it, can only be felt by people from Xia Guo themselves.
For those who stand with the nation, it is naturally "enhancing national prestige and boosting morale."
When Jiang Wang just came out of the Dianjiangtai, he saw many places decorated with lanterns and colorful banners. He thought it must be because of this incident.
As for Qi Ting, the most important thing right now is probably a major purge of that "Equal Nation" organization.
How clean it can be cleaned up depends on how much information the military can get from that divine cultivator from the Equal Nation... It could be as white and pure as a fresh snowfall, or as chaotic and messy as chickens scattering and dogs barking.
A living divine cultivator captured by the Qi army, there is almost no possibility of keeping the secret.
Of course, regarding this final part, even with Chongxuan's status, he wouldn't be able to get any useful information.
He didn't even know what the concept of this "equal nation" was. Let alone more specific details like organizational strength, the number of strong individuals, or organizational structure.
Those probably only exist in the mind of the person handling it.
About Chongxuan and them, we can only guess based on some known information, but it's still vague and lacks a clear pattern.
“Now, thinking back, this decision was really straightforward. Considering the circumstances surrounding Great Qi, the countries that could truly threaten us would be nothing more than Jing, Mu, and Xia.”
The first two are both among the top six powers in the world. Once friction occurs, it is not a small matter. Before being fully prepared, provoking either side is not a wise choice. Especially at this juncture when the Yellow River Conference is about to be held.

After much deliberation, the only country that could realistically pose a threat and be immediately attacked was Xia.
Here's the translation, keeping the HTML tags as they are:

Only…was able to make this decision immediately after the plot to assassinate him, disregarding the domestic situation and focusing on the Eastern Regions. This truly required immense courage, a feat only a powerful ruler could accomplish!
When he said this, Chong Xuan was practicing a secret art.
Nine iron balls, each the size of a fist, shuttled back and forth under his control.
“I don't know what this ‘Equal Nation’ organization is…”
Looking at the iron balls flying before Chongxuan, for some reason, Jiang Wang suddenly thought of that troublesome Qingpai Head Hunter, Lin Youxie.
Zheng Shuming said that Wu Lie protected Lin Youxie, and the Inspectorate concealed Lin Youxie's credit for investigating Zhang Yong.
Now, it truly seems like an old-fashioned approach.

An Equal Country...
What does this organization want to do
Today is a big push, brothers and sisters, this is the first time that Red Heart Patrol the Heavens has received such a high level of recommendation.
This is what we worked on together!

It must have presence.
