Chapter 2290: The Well-Ended Never Heard

Meng Tianhai, Xu Ximing.

Bodhi Evil Ancestor, Mixed Yuan Evil Immortal, Innocent Heavenly Person.

These are all names Jiang Wang will never forget.

Until Meng Tianhai obstructed at the Hongchen Men and the group finally left Calamity Water, he was still unable to confirm which of the Calamity Water Three Evils the transcended existence who borrowed Xu Ximing to speak with him in Calamity Water was.

Meng Tianhai once denounced it as "Bodhi Evil Ancestor."

He ought to believe Meng Tianhai's vision.

But until the end, Meng Tianhai also did not successfully transcend; he ultimately had a gap with that great realm existence, so there was also the possibility of misjudgment.

And today, the Equal Country leader "Zhao Wang" inexplicably mentioned "Innocent Heavenly Person" and the similar state he was currently trapped in.

Jiang Wang's heart was inevitably shocked, doubtful, and unsettled.

Transcended great power is unimaginable.

"As I said, on this road there are already transcended ones. Indeed, Tiandao is vast and can accommodate many, but the one in Sin Sea is obviously stingy to share." Zhao Wang smiled, "Do you want to be an enemy with him? Before impacting transcendence, first secure a transcended great enemy? Carry a mountain to the summit?"

The giant beast-like roaring sound suddenly stopped; a hand penetrated the years and pressed on the flying eave corner, firmly fixing this ancient pavilion in the air.

Zhao Wang smiled, "If you continue to attempt to probe me, I may have to retract that sentence — I shouldn't have said you are not so dangerous in front of me."

Zhao Wang's tone at this moment was instead considered gentle, "When Tiangongcheng stands in Avici Gui Ku and Equal's flag flutters in the present world, you are no longer dangerous in front of me."

"I just casually ask, you don't have to answer," Jiang Wang explained with a serious face, "I'm curious about 'Heavenly Person' itself, not your experiences."

Jiang Wang said in surprise, "Don't want to know, and also need to return?"

The biggest problem with approaching Tiandao is that one will be assimilated by Tiandao and lose one's self-awareness.

"Unfortunate?" Jiang Wang looked at him.

Bingxu to a certain extent is still influenced by present world rules; Taixu Huanjing can of course connect here. So, when Zhao Wang's two fingers fixed Chang Xiangsi, he directly pulled Taixu Ge!

The ancient battlefield suddenly became quiet, like a fixed painting.

"Does this count as a forced buy and sell?" Jiang Wang asked.

Zhao Wang stood there fixedly, paused for a while, then said, "Since you don't want to know, then as a return, you need to share some information with me."

But Jiang Wang absolutely did not believe that a character like Zhao Wang would have any scruples because of one Tiangongcheng. Moreover, the one who stood out to represent Tiangongcheng was Qiantang Jun Li Mao. These people from Equal Country, while having common ideals, did not necessarily have the same ideas when it came to individuals.

The ancient pavilion manifested in the battlefield, rumblingly opening up time and space—

Zhao Wang indifferently released his fingers and let go of Taixu Ge again.

Very good, now there are more emotions.

He understood the "Heavenly Person" expressed by Zhao Wang as a kind of state approaching Tiandao. The power level could be Tui Dao, it could be Transcendence, or it could be a True Person like himself. The specific power level should be decided by the cultivator himself and the degree to which he mobilizes Tiandao's power.

Jiang Wang calmly said, "If you have nothing else, I will leave first. Huai Guogong is waiting for me to go back for a meal, and Taixu Ge also has some pavilion affairs that haven't been handled."

Zhao Wang stretched out his hand, opened his five fingers in front of Jiang Wang, and slowly clenched them into a fist: "You can have your understanding. But I think this is a fair transaction."

However, Tiandao is vast, and one's body is like a speck of dust, a drop of water. How can one maintain self in a sea? He cannot imagine.

Jiang Wang indifferently said, "When I decide to walk a road, I only ask if this is what I want. I won't go think about who is on this road."

The Innocent Heavenly Person in Sin Sea obviously escaped this point and existed with their own consciousness.

"Don't move Taixu Ge," Zhao Wang kindly reminded, "Excessively using this Dongtian treasure, for your current state, is not necessarily a good thing — I think you are also unwilling to become a member of Xuyuan."

Zhao Wang did not specify which Heavenly Person, only vaguely said, "Those who roam Tiandao and travel through the years are called 'Heavenly Person'. The realm of Heavenly Person has existed from ancient times until now. But only truly top-tier people can see this path. Only people who truly possess world-shaking qualifications can have this possibility. Only people who truly have merit to heaven and earth can push open that door… Unfortunately, you possess all of them."

"I have already put in effort to let you get truly useful information. Whether you listen or not cannot change this result," Zhao Wang said, "I only care if my effort is in vain."

Zhao Wang looked at him quietly for a while, finally saying, "Do you want to know how to grasp self? I mean, the one in Wugen Shi."

Jiang Wang's path is based on "True Self", so he is determined not to let go of self.

Jiang Wang backhanded the pavilion back and sheathed his sword: "The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. Strictly speaking, we are old acquaintances; it's not good to fight and kill as soon as we meet… Chat?"

"Because chatting with you is a very risky thing." Jiang Wang shook his hand, "I try to avoid it as much as possible, but I find myself unable to avoid it."

Jiang Wang looked fixedly at this mysterious and unfathomable Equal Country leader and politely said, "Trouble you to loosen your hand."

He probably wanted to express that as Equal Country began to stand at the forefront, a strong person like him also gained weaknesses.

He chopped out a sword near Tiandao; to the point now of being summoned by Tiandao, even Tiandao's power is so hard to resist… Is it possible that there is also "Xu Ximing"'s influence among it?

In a flash of emotions, Jiang Wang's mind quickly turned. He only said with his mouth, "Oh, so that's what you mean."

Zhao Wang smiled without smiling, "It seems the threshold for chatting with Jiang True Person is not low."

"If you say so, I am relieved!" Jiang Wang said, "Let's chat about 'Heavenly Person'? You said you haven't seen a Heavenly Person for a long time, do you know who the last Heavenly Person you saw was?"

Zhao Wang just stood leisurely in front of Jiang Wang, with one hand pressing down on the Dongtian treasure Taixu Ge and the other hand clamping the world-famous sword Chang Xiangsi: "Of course, the more important thing is — it's useless to move anyway."

Perhaps for some strong people who pursue absolute power, this is not a problem. They don't care about their consciousness, only whether they can reach the ultimate realm.

"I also spent a lot of effort, just… Hmm?" Zhao Wang looked at the excessively young True Person in front of him, about to speak but stopped.

Zhao Wang's next answer is very likely about the opportunity for transcendence!

But Jiang Wang said, "Don't want to know."

Of course, he also won't listen.

Zhao Wang's earnest words, in a flash of a gap, all poured into Jiang Wang's ear; he couldn't not hear them.

He thought for a bit and added, "At least not so dangerous."

"What do you want to know?" Jiang Wang asked.

Zhao Wang clenched his fist again and then loosened it, pointing remotely towards the direction of Luoxian Lin: "Just in that place, after you chopped out that sword, you were necessarily watched — about that mysterious existence, I think you certainly got some information. No need to deny, don't deceive, respect my trust in you at this moment a bit."

Jiang Wang thought for a bit and finally said, "Nameless."

This is indeed the only information he got at that instant.

"Nameless?" Zhao Wang's tone was questioning, yet also as if thoughtful: "Is it like this?"

Jiang Wang didn't care what he understood, only asked, "Can I leave?"

"Please go," Zhao Wang waved his hand.

Jiang Wang turned and left.

When his figure leaped into a green rainbow, Zhao Wang's voice still chased him with a sentence: "Do you really not want to know?"

In the green rainbow, there was only a simple response—

"Dare not know!"

How many 'Heavenly Persons' have appeared in history, how many strong people have lingered outside the great Tiandao, against or devoted to it?

Jiang Wang doesn't know.

He only knows that his sword could push the limit of the high Cave True; the Heavenly Person state was just one of the reasons. What was truly powerful was the intersection of years and fate, and that sword named Chang Xiangsi.

The one who surpassed the limits of ancient and modern Cave True is that person named Jiang Wang.

Tiandao is not his road, of course he is not taboo to contend with anyone. But all these things do not need to be told to Zhao Wang.

He really has no reason to trust Equal Country.

Still flying in the air, the Taixu Gouyu continuously flickered, and letters from various pavilion members and colleagues flew in almost one after another—

Yes, just now, in the process of trying to contend with Zhao Wang, Cabinet Member Jiang sent letters to his colleagues.

The first one to Li Yi.

Others also sent. Cabinet Member Jiang actually did not dislike which colleague had insufficient strength; anyway, each one has a background and can always find people to help. Moreover, sending one letter to multiple people is not troublesome.

He just deliberately omitted Dou Zhao — he absolutely cannot give this fellow a chance to regain face.

Equal Country cannot be roughly defined as an evil cult or other evil organizations.

Although many countries put Equal Country on a wanted list, and although the description of this organization is always accompanied by crimes such as "lawless" and "rampant evil deeds."

But a more accurate description should be that this organization uses its own rules to contend with the rules of the world's hegemon countries. They use their own order to resist the order of the strong hegemon countries. They try to use their own set of rules to cut through black and white in the present world under the hegemon system.

Taixu Ge's responsibility is only limited to matters related to Taixu Huanjing, and it is indeed not their turn to manage Equal Country.

But a Taixu cabinet member was innocently attacked, and seeking aid from colleagues is also very understandable.

True Person Jiang is not a vengeful person, especially in the Heavenly Person state, where there are no emotions to speak of.

Only Huang Sheli replied first, Zhong Xuan Zun followed closely, and Qin Zhizhen replied slowest. Li Yi was probably cultivating again, so there was no reply.

The contents and speed of the replies from the rest, Zhong Xuan, Ju Kui, and Cang Ming, were standard and not worth mentioning.

All the colleagues who replied indicated that they could rush over and asked where to meet and whether to set up an ambush.

Only Zhong Xuan Zun's letter was very conspicuous—

"Letter already forwarded to Huai Guogong."

Indeed, a person good at solving problems.

Jiang Wang roughly hooked a few strokes, copied several letters with the same content, and returned them all the original way—

"Already solved through negotiation."

But the reply to Zhong Xuan was a bit different—

"If I had some accident, please write in the history books — 'Zhao Wang's doing'."

Besides these letters, there was still one letter, from 'Zhu Bishu'. The letter had only eight words, written hastily, and still divided into two sentences—

"Seen her. Upon seeing letter do not reply."

Jiang Wang looked at this letter again and again, finally rolled it up, leaped down, and landed back in Huai Guogong Mansion's dining hall.

Cabinet Member Dou was just eating at the table.

A posture of warring with someone, chopsticks flying like wind and clouds.

"Cough!" Jiang Wang virtually clenched his fist against his lips, coughed lightly, then said, "Left Grandpa, Shunhua, Guangshu… Dou brother! Sorry, I temporarily went to handle a small matter and made everyone wait for a long time. The food isn't cold yet, is it?"

Left Guangshu is always very supportive, with a face of surprise: "Big brother, what matter did you handle? So fast!"

Jiang Wang was about to speak.

Dou Zhao had already jumped up, pointing one finger at Jiang Wang, and complained to Huai Guogong: "Left Lord, you said, eat without speaking, sleep without speaking! This fellow starts chattering as soon as he comes, so rude!"

Left Chao glanced at him: "Famous family's dead rules perish after seven generations. Xue Gui changed laws, ten thousand generations of virtuous prosperity. What does family chat have to do with anything? Young age, don't be too rigid."

The doctrines of the Famous family, which prospered for a time in the era of the various Saints, were the inheritance of the Famous family's True Saint, Gongsun Xi. His descendants stubbornly guarded the rules of the former saint, unwilling to change a word, and perished after a short seven generations of inheritance.

They were among the earliest batch of perished doctrines within the Hundred Schools.

The most essential parts of their thought were absorbed by other doctrines, but they themselves could not form a system.

Legalism has a longer and more ancient history and is actually more emphasis on rules and harder to change. But after Xue Gui's reform, each generation has been more prosperous than the last. Until now, it is still a prominent learning in the world.

These basic common knowledge, does Mr. Dou still need a class!

For a time, he dared to be angry but was unable to speak, and could only sit down hatefully.

Jiang Wang had no emotions in his heart, but he also put on a smile. He sat back in his original position with a smile, picked up his chopsticks, and while picking the fish belly, said in a cloud-like and light manner: "I heard there was someone named Lu Shuanghe who almost beat one of my friends to death. I just went to teach him a lesson and grant him one defeat."

Qu Shunhua laughed next to him, covering her mouth: "Big brother Jiang, is this friend not surnamed 'Dou'?"

"Is it… not?" Jiang Wang dragged out his voice and looked at Dou Zhao kindly.

"What do you mean almost beaten to death?" Dou Zhao's voice jumped out from between his teeth: "I'm alive and well. I fought one against two! It was one knife against the joint effort of Seven Kills True Person Lu Shuanghe and Heaven Machine True Person Ren Qiuli!"

"Ren Qiuli?" Jiang Wang casually took out a damaged compass: "Brother Dou, are you not talking about… the manager of Changming Sinan?"

As he spoke, he handed the already damaged Changming Sinan to Huai Guogong: "Left Grandpa, this is for you. It seems to be the South Dipper Hall's town sect treasure; I also don't use it. See if you can help catch Changming Jun early."

He added, "Right, when you use it, ask people to wipe it clean. There's probably a bit of my friend's blood splashed on it."

The table was very quiet.

Left Chao looked at Dou Zhao somewhat heartbrokenly: "Little Zhao, if you're full, you can go back first. Do you still have things at home?"

He is also a junior he watched grow up, and it's not good to force him to continue suffering mockery here.

With Dou Zhao's temper, enduring until now is already the limit. But he still maintained politeness, smiling warmly at Left Chao: "Junior indeed has some matters that need to be handled urgently. Then I will take my leave first; you all eat slowly."

With just this sentence, his figure was erased like a painting, disappearing without a trace.

Yet he completely ignored Jiang Wang, Left Guangshu, and Qu Shunhua.

Left Chao casually put the damaged Changming Sinan aside, looked at Jiang Wang, and restrained his smile: "Heavenly Person?"

Jiang Wang nodded, still smiling: "I encountered Zhao Wang on the way back, and he said he had seen a Heavenly Person before. Does this count as a clue?"

Now that Equal Country has set up its flag in Luoxian Lin, and Tiangongcheng has established itself firmly, it will inevitably expand its influence outwards. This is the situation that the just-reformed Chu Country will face. As a meritorious noble of Chu Country, Zhao Wang's intelligence is definitely useful to Left Chao.

But he just sighed: "You are growing too fast, making this old man somewhat powerless — you just reached this realm after one trip?"

"It was also when the opportunity arrived," Jiang Wang said, "Before completely chopping out that sword, I hadn't thought of this path. Changming Sinan, Jiu Feng Kong Yuanyang, tracing back history, hearing the Dao in the morning, they all came together. And I had to leave traces at that time."

Jingping Luoxian Lin is a great endeavor of the human race; one cannot do nothing and forget about it. When one sees the possibility of doing something, one cannot turn a blind eye.

"Not necessarily good karma, ah. Ancient Heavenly Persons are all legends, and I've never heard of any who ended well." Left Chao sighed, then thought carefully for a while, then looked at Jiang Wang, his tone serious: "Two methods. One is to continue forward and try to maintain self in Tiandao, but the opportunity is not great and it's easy to have problems. The other is for me to help you seal the Heavenly Person state, and you find another path forward."
