Chapter 2152: Jade Axe Opens the Sea of Gods, Sword Qi Forms Brocade

Cang Ming, as a god envoy in the present world, dared not look upon the evil of all living beings.Guan Yan, the senior, possessed heart communication but almost never listened to heart voices.Those divine paths have become what they are; the first step in becoming a god through faith is to filter out the雜念 (zá niàn -雜念 - miscellaneous thoughts) of believers.Jiang Wang, though he cultivated the "See Hear Immortal Technique," obtained the "See Hear Immortal Domain," and could summon the See Hear Immortal, should also take this as a mirror.He had only one heart, one person, unable to agree with all the ideas in the world.He had only one pair of hands, one sword, and could not manage all the affairs of the world.He had "Observe Freely Ear," and now developed the "Immortal Thought Star River," which could truly "observe the sounds of the world." But — "a heart that embraces all living beings must suffer for all living beings."Jiang Wang lifted his foot, and infinite light lines and sounds intertwined into a pure white See Hear Boat, carrying him away in a flash.A city with tens of thousands of people does not mean everyone is bright and beautiful. There are always corners where sunlight cannot reach, always people lying in ditches.Usually, the human world has its own trajectory.But miracles occasionally happen.That stolen money bag was returned to the owner's waist; that toothless woman who abducted children was bound tightly with iron chains; that robber holding a knife had the knife pressed against their own neck...In the Han Hua City government office, dozens of people suddenly burst in, stumbling and falling everywhere, shocking the yamen runners, guards, and soldiers who hurriedly drew their knives.If these people hadn't been bound with five flowers, seemingly without any resistance, their knives would have already fallen.As the largest city in Snow Country open to the outside world, the position of City Lord is obviously elevated. Wang Di, the City Lord of Han Hua City, is in the God Approach cultivation, governing one side, always hanging like a god, quite respected by the court and the public.At this moment, sitting high in the main hall, although he did not know the cause and effect, he maintained his composure: "What kind of distinguished person is here! Daring to intrude upon the government office, do you want to challenge Snow Country officials?"The pure white boat that suddenly descended above the government office turned into countless streams of light, collecting back into Jiang Wang's pupils. He walked into the government office, throwing the two tied-up evildoers he held into the pile of people. Without wasting words, he pointed from a distance — in the void, a small jade axe head simply chopped down.As if during the time of chaos, the axe chiseled heaven and earth.Without allowing resistance, without allowing evasion.Dao Technique: Open Sea Jade Axe.This Dao technique was originally created by Jiang Zhenren to split open the opponent's Nascent Soul defense. At this moment, it was not for killing or attacking. He swung the jade axe like a needle for embroidery, treating the heavy as light.Han Hua City City Lord Wang Di's mind was easily opened. The many See Hears intercepted by the Zhenren at that time all surged into it."They have committed evil deeds, you are already aware of them all. Han Hua City has its own laws, you handle it according to the law!"For that one instant, Wang Di thought his whole person had been split open, but after the daze, his hair was unharmed.He slowly digested the See Hears given by Jiang Wang and opened his mouth to say: "These thirty-one people each have their sins. Since the pavilion down there has seen so clearly, why not pronounce sentence and draw the knife, cutting their own flesh and blood? To throw them into the government office after going around in a circle, isn't that superfluous?""I am an outsider to Legalism, I have roughly read a few books, but still haven't grasped its essence. But I also know that maintaining stability in a place relies on an effective legal system, not on the occasional appearance of some chivalrous persons."Jiang Wang said lightly: "Moreover, I only see one side, I only hear one word. What I understand doesn't mean it's the whole truth. Killers may not have a choice, and victims may not be innocent. How exactly to discuss sins still requires you who understand the law to clarify the facts, sort out the causes and effects, and pronounce sentence according to your laws... I am not the main official, it is inconvenient for me to act on my own. City Lord Wang, I respect Snow Country's governing rights. I do not want to interfere with Han Hua City's politics. This is merely a passerby who cannot bear to see it, assisting with the maintenance of your city's rule of law."Wang Di stood up and bowed, then stepped down: "Jiang Zhenren! Thank you for respecting Han Hua City's laws, and even more, thank you for being willing to catch evildoers for this office and still provide clues for sentencing. I, Wang, had a petty heart, and made wild guesses about Zhenren, which I truly should not have done."Jiang Wang slightly raised his eyebrows: "You recognize me?"At this time, a person walked out from the back hall: "The Sword Immortal of Star Moon Plain, who in the world doesn't recognize Lord!"The sinners on the ground dared not move, and the government soldiers and runners in the yamen were all quiet.Jing Country had repeatedly emphasized that Star Moon Plain is a neutral place and absolutely no one, no force, is allowed to occupy it.Jiang Wang did indeed keep his promise, never trying to build forces in Star Moon Plain. He guarded a twelve-story wine building and did not expand further.But he still unconsciously left behind his mark. When people in the world mention Star Moon Plain, they can no longer separate his name from it. Many have already forgotten that it was once the battlefield of the Qi-Jing contention.The person who came out from the back hall had very good features, eyes full of spiritual light, and carried a sword at his waist. As he walked, he exuded an outstanding demeanor.Jiang Wang glanced at him: "Who are you again?"Han Hua City City Lord Wang Di showed a surprised expression: "Mister Yu, why have you come out?"He then actively introduced him, saying: "This person's name is Yu Wei. He is my grand-teacher. Three years ago, he came to Han Hua City and impressed me with his talent, so I hired him. He now handles affairs in the office. Over these years, he has helped me sort out Han Hua City's rule of law, making the city's public security greatly improved and its prosperity far exceeding the past. This year, I was just planning to recommend him to the court — forgive the offense to Zhenren, please do not be surprised.""I am not so easily offended." Jiang Wang waved his hand, looking at this Yu Wei with a half-smile: "With your strength, being a grand-teacher in this place, isn't that a bit too much of a waste of talent?"Yu Wei politely said: "Zhenren overrates me. A grain of rice light, if it can shine, then it can shine. There is no talk of wasting talent."Jiang Wang did not go in circles with him, and lightly laughed: "If you want to conceal yourself, want to hide your strength and identity, let's not discuss your purpose for now — but why step forward to see me?"In the twenty breaths during which he covered all the See Hears in Han Hua City, he did not get any key clues about Xie Ai. After all, those are strong individuals at that level, and there are not many people qualified to discuss them. Those idle and messy talks, even if they mentioned Xie Ai's name, were all meaningless mutterings.And what were the useful clues?Besides the sinners lying on the ground, it was the person before his eyes.Yu Wei was silent for a while, seemingly thinking about how to answer — this was indeed a problem. As soon as this Jiang Zhenren arrived, his See Hear spread across the ground. He was fundamentally unable to hide, and he didn't feel he could still conceal himself, so he simply stepped forward directly. And now, Jiang Zhenren actually still asked him why he stepped forward.Why did I? Don't you know?Finally, he said: "Jiang Zhenren's discussion of the law showed profound knowledge, which benefited me greatly. Being able to recognize that the laws of each country are different, and that each place has its own laws, is already a profound understanding of contemporary Legalism... I couldn't help but come out to see. Let Jiang Zhenren see my laughable state!"He turned around and bowed slightly to Wang Di: "Xianyang Guard Wei, I resign from the City Lord today."The Great Qin Empire, Xianyang Guard family!This family is extraordinary, its history and origins can be traced back to the Middle Ancient Era.In the Middle Ancient Era, a great figure who attempted to transcend, who debated law with Wei Xing, the great compiler of Middle Ancient Legalism, is an ancestor of the Xianyang Guard family that can be traced back through the genealogy. The bloodline of the sage and wise has not been cut off for tens of thousands of years and continues to this day.After the new start of the Dao Calendar, there was a person named "Wei Shu," who, as a direct descendant of the Middle Ancient sage and wise Wei Xing, followed Qin Tai Zu Ying Yun in building merit and establishing industry, creating the dominant Qin in the west. The contemporary Wei family also stands from this.Jiang Wang, in "Qin Lue," also read about the name Wei Shu. As a representative figure of Qin law, he shone brightly in history.The Wei family has been one of the top noble families in Qin Country throughout history. The current family master is Yi An Bo Wei Qiu, the holder of the Qin Ten Soldiers Phoenix Sparrow. Wei Yu is the son of Wei Qiu and a renowned talent in Xianyang.This family background, not to mention in Snow Country, even if viewed globally, can be considered among the famous ranks.And he was actually willing to be lonely and serve as a grand-teacher in Han Hua City?"Yu Wei... Wei Yu. Good Wei Yu! A famous prodigy of Great Qin, actually hiding his name and coming to my Han Hua City." Wang Di's eyes were very vigilant: "What does Qin Country actually want to do?""City Lord, please don't misunderstand." Wei Yu politely said: "This is purely for my personal cultivation, and has nothing to do with Qin Country. I, Wei, wasted my youth and had no achievements in this life. I indulged in my family's reputation and had a very high self-regard. So I wanted to hide my name, live a quiet life for a period, and examine myself. In today's world, where the Too Virtual Illusion Realm connects north and south, and matters in the east are known to the mulberry and elm early on, it is truly difficult to find a quiet place. I, Wei, was limited by my reputation, and after thinking about it, I came to Snow Country to cultivate..."He said quite seriously: "If Qin Country truly wanted to do something, it would be impossible to send me, Wei Yu. If I truly wanted to do something, it would be impossible to waste three years in Han Hua City, diligently assisting you in governance every day. Do you think so?"Wang Di said coldly: "Looking back at the past three years, doubts arise everywhere!"Wei Yu said: "That is because you have doubts in your heart.""The pride of a dominant country, suffering so." Wang Di said: "What you say, I actually don't know which sentence is true.""Serving as a grand-teacher for three years, cultivating in seclusion on one hand and assisting Snow Country in governing the city on the other. If Snow Country considers this a sin, you can go up and request an order, and have people come and arrest me!" Wei Yu was no longer patient to continue explaining, and brushed his sleeve: "I, Wei, hid my name in Han Hua City," He then turned to Jiang Wang and said: "Is Zhenren's matter here finished?"Jiang Wang gestured with his hand: "I have no other matters.""Then let's go, we'll talk outside the city." Wei Yu completely disregarded Wang Di's expression and stepped away.Jiang Wang followed with his hands behind his back, leisurely.He naturally wouldn't feel wronged for Wang Di; whether Wang Di was truly wronged was another matter.Even if Qin Country used spies, it wouldn't use Wei Yu as a spy.Someone with Wei Yu's identity would not do things that did not match their identity, and his identity could not be hidden from the true high-level officials of Snow Country. His presence as a grand-teacher in Han Hua City, for Fu Huan, Xie Ai, and others, was likely an open secret.From this perspective, Wei Yu could indeed be said to be "clear."But his presence as a grand-teacher in Han Hua City for three years could have some extended possibilities. Some generous members in the Too Virtual Pavilion would definitely be willing to spend a little money on this."I seem to have never seen Zhenren before, yet Zhenren seems to recognize me?" Flying out of Han Hua City and walking forward in the vast snow, Wei Yu asked directly.Jiang Wang said: "You mean I came today with a clear target?"Wei Yu nodded.Jiang Wang did not conceal: "I have paid attention to you.""Paid attention to me?" Wei Yu was somewhat emotional, his tone unclear: "Vast Great Qin, with talents emerging in abundance. When discussing foundation, there is Qin Zhi Zhen. When discussing talent, there is Gan Chang An. When discussing killing and attacking, there is Huang Bu Dong... What virtue or ability do I have to be specially noticed by a figure of worldwide attention like you?""Since we've talked about this... I actually have an old matter I wanted to ask you about. I never had the leisure to go to Qin Country, so I put it aside." Jiang Wang said lightly: "My friend Xiang Qian, initially went west to the land of Qin, seeking a sword fight with you. Before the war, it was clearly stated that there was no intention to contend for fame, no intention to hurt face, only to seek a sword fight. You also made it clear that no resentment should arise. Later, Qin Zhi Zhen chased him out and smashed Xiang Qian into the Wei River with one punch. How do you explain this?"Wei Yu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Jiang Wang to be paying attention to him because of this.This Zhenren is truly loyal to his friends, nothing more needs to be said. So many years have passed, and he still holds a grudge for his friends. Xiang Qian himself never said anything about it."I cannot explain it." Wei Yu said sincerely: "Qin Zhi Zhen is my friend. Seeing me defeated, he naturally wanted to stand up for me. Although I did not know beforehand, I had no way to shirk responsibility afterward. This matter is absolutely my responsibility. Jiang Zhenren, whatever you want to do, whether it is to stand up for your friends or vent your anger, I will bear it all."If Wei Yu had truly held a grudge initially, Xiang Qian would not have been able to leave Qin Country alive.So his words were credible.Jiang Wang then only slightly nodded: "Since you say so, this matter is simple. I'll record it on Qin Zhi Zhen's account and sink him with one sword later."Wei Yu opened his mouth, but ultimately did not speak.Initially, Qin Zhi Zhen sought out Xiang Qian and agreed to wait until Xiang Qian also reached the Inner Mansion, to fight at the same realm again.And Jiang Wang, obviously, did not consider him, Wei Yu, an opponent... and indeed, he had the qualifications not to.The two walked in the vast snow, without further dialogue, only leaving a mark with each step, deliberately leaving footprints.After a while, Wei Yu asked: "Does Jiang Zhenren have other matters to discuss with me?"Jiang Wang said: "The Too Virtual Illusion Realm encountered obstruction in Snow Country. I represent the Too Virtual Pavilion to handle this matter. You have been in Snow Country for three years, do you have any suggestions for me?"Wei Yu was very puzzled. If it were Qin Zhi Zhen representing the Too Virtual Pavilion to come to Snow Country, he, Wei Yu, would definitely have no second thoughts and would follow orders. Who is Jiang Wang? Are we very familiar?Even if you are famous throughout the world, a first-class prominent figure, we have only just met! How can you command me so naturally?But he ultimately did not ask this.He only said: "Can I refuse?"Jiang Wang gave him a smile.Wei Yu silently walked forward.Jiang Wang added: "But when I sink Qin Zhi Zhen into the river, I can go a little lighter."Wei Yu said: "Those with thick foundations in the world, none surpass the Qin Pavilion members. Even if it is you, to sink him into the river with one sword, it may not be easy."Jiang Wang smiled lightly.Wei Yu turned his head to look at him and asked: "Jiang Zhenren doesn't believe I came to Han Hua City only for cultivation?""I don't care. Even if you wanted to come to Snow Country to be emperor, what does it have to do with me?" Jiang Wang said lightly: "I only want to do my own business, and build the Too Virtual Illusion Realm well."Wei Yu was silent for a moment: "How can I help you?"Jiang Wang calmly said: "I am new here, unfamiliar with the place, and currently have no clues — you can think about how you can help me."Wei Yu was silent again.Forcing me to help, and still requiring me to be proactive. Where is the sense in this?Jiang Wang was very patient, just walking forward steadily.As they walked, Wei Yu opened his mouth and said: "As you know, the City Lord of Han Hua City intended to recommend me to the court, but I could not truly join Snow Country, so before you came, I was already preparing to leave — and precisely because of this, over these years, I have only been in the position of a mere grand-teacher. The secrets of Snow Country could not be revealed to me. I have not even traveled west, only staying in the three open cities in turn. I do not understand Snow Country."Jiang Wang listened quietly as he finished explaining a large amount, then said: "Introduce me to Bing Yang City."Wei Yu said casually: "Bing Yang City is guarded by Snow Country's great general Hong Cheng Dao. This lord is in the God Approach cultivation, his strength is outstanding throughout Snow Country. This city is stationed with tens of thousands of troops and equipped with a high-level city protection array that can withstand a Zhenren's attack for ten breaths. The city walls are high and thick, the military equipment is strict. Without a Zhenren leading, without fifty thousand troops, it would be very difficult to break the city frontally — Jiang Zhenren, but our direction is Xue Ji City.""Yes, we are going that way. Xue Ji City can be seen in person, so there is no need to introduce it again." Jiang Wang said: "Your perspective on observing Bing Yang City... is very unique."Wei Yu said: "It's the habit of being in the army."Jiang Wang chuckled: "I still thought Qin Country wanted to invade Snow Country!"Wei Yu tugged at the corners of his mouth: "How is that possible? Moreover, let's not even mention Snow Country's strong national power, complex geography, and ease of defense. My Great Qin and Snow Country are one north and one south, with how many countries in between! Even if we dispatch soldiers for a distant expedition, even if Jing Country's Yu Jing Mountain does not interfere, and we truly conquer it... In the foreseeable very long time, it will only be a piece of empty land, unable to transport resources to Qin Country, and instead requiring continuous blood supply from Qin Country. This does not conform to Qin Country's national strategy, and is truly a bit short-sighted."Jiang Wang had a quite self-talk posture, you explain yours, I chat mine, and touched his chin: "All in the plan of how to govern?"Before Wei Yu could respond, he suddenly said again: "I am very curious about the Winter Emperor's becoming-Dao war. Can you tell me a bit about the process?"Wei Yu took a deep breath: "I only came three years ago, and at that time, the Winter Emperor had already become Dao."Jiang Wang lightly exhaled, forming a white rainbow in the high sky, instantly spreading out several thousand li, like a rolling cloud sea, for a time cutting off all the snow in the sky.Sword qi spewed into rosy clouds, hanging in the long sky.This was announcing the visit of Jiang Pavilion member to Xue Ji City.It also thereby isolated the visible and invisible spying gazes.The sword rosy clouds seemed like a canopy, spreading out a grand scene!Under this canopy, Jiang Zhenren gracefully turned his head, looked at Wei Yu, his eyes calm yet so bright, as if leaving no place for people's hearts to hide: "Such a big matter, I don't believe you didn't pay attention."
