Chapter 2310

Within the world of martial arts, Wang Xiao embodied a power that surpassed both ancient and modern times, just like the Demon Emperor in the demon world. He naturally overshadowed and dominated everything.

From the distant past until now, no martial artist could compare to him. Perhaps there would be one in the future, or perhaps not. Because he was still moving towards even greater heights.

With a single punch, he would bombard and repulse those fierce and renowned foreign races who were deriving their Dao, leaving the martial arts world clear and vast.

He didn’t even give Shan Tan or Mi Zhi Ben a chance to speak. He wouldn’t allow them to counterattack or even retort.

However, in a certain sense, Mi Zhi Ben and the others could also be said to have achieved their goal with no regrets. The extraordinary detached Dao-opening merit that they had managed to cultivate was scattered by Wang Xiao’s single punch, drifting between heaven and earth, and returning to the martial artists of the world.

The first eternal Venerable of martial arts history could not be immediately achieved.

Perhaps in the eyes of the Demon Emperor, Wang Xiao, whose magnificent scene made him exclaim "Martial Ancestor’s spirit," held a future achievement that was far more threatening than the merit used to cultivate martial arts to a state of extraordinary detachment.

But Mi Zhi Ben’s initial plan was simply to prevent Wang Xiao from achieving extraordinary detachment alone. Now that Wang Xiao himself had given up, it could also be said… he was prevented, right?

All things in the martial arts world grow and change, manifesting in every corner of the present world. The will of the world's martial artists also affects the waves of the martial arts world.

At the absolute peak of martial arts, Wang Xiao stood alone.

On the opposite shore of the twenty-sixth level of martial arts heaven, the four martial arts grandmasters, Wu Xun, Cao Yu Qian, Ji Jing Lu, and Shu Wei Jun, each stood at their peak. They all already had the possibility of taking a step forward.

At this moment, the four of them looked at each other, all eager to try.

Suddenly, a startling clap of thunder crossed the sky –

"Wait a moment!"

It was the residual echo of the thunderous voice from a certain heavenly person who had previously descended upon the world. The power of the solid world's self-screening heavenly Dao still lingered.

Wu Xun and the others all looked up, their eyes showing different expressions.

They only heard that thunderous voice shake and rumble for ten thousand li:

"The martial Dao is already open, the absolute peak is already established. Various grandmasters are only one step away, why must you hurry in one go? Jiang Wang is a junior, but he has sincere words and is willing to speak for you –"

"Various seniors! What is about to ascend to the absolute peak should be complete, I am willing to hone it for all of you!"

As a heavenly person, he should represent heaven and block the Dao. He was Jiang Wang, and yet he wanted mutual achievement. He issued a challenge to the four martial arts grandmasters!

By today, no one would feel that this was presumptuous. The True Person named Jiang Wang was already a famous big figure in the myriad worlds, and even more so, an unavoidable high peak in the Grotto True realm!

The thunderous voice echoed through the sky, also calling forth more vitality and bringing more spirituality to this martial arts world. Spring thunder shook, and myriad things came to life.

Among the four martial arts grandmasters, it was Ji Jing Lu who spoke first:

"On the Dao path, there are no seniors or juniors, the one who reaches is the teacher! Since Heavenly Person Jiang has such a profound intention, how can this humble one refuse? Heavenly Capital City, in front of the Edgeless Stone Wall, the martial man of the Ji surname imperial dynasty, Ji Jing Lu – sitting on a stone, waiting."

After saying these words, he gathered his iron fan, turned and descended the mountain. With each step he took, his figure became more illusory. Finally, he brought that martial arts peak, which seemed like a painting, and imprinted it into a painting scroll. With a lift of the painting axis, it disappeared into the empty space.

"Sitting on a stone seeking the Dao" is a recorded story, said to be the story of the ancient Human Emperor Sui Ren Shi seeing Bu Lian. It is said that Sui Ren Shi endured hardships and finally found the witch named Bu Lian in the depths of the wilderness, in a place called "Jie Wu Kong Hai."

Bu Lian claimed to be "Gua Shi," not a witch. When the ancient Human Emperor found him, this old man was just sitting on a white stone, gazing at the sky, motionless for a long time. Sui Ren Shi simply accompanied him for forty-nine days without saying a word.

Only when Bu Lian finally moved his eyelids slightly did Sui Ren Shi seize the opportunity to ask him – what the old man was sitting here for. Bu Lian said, I am waiting for 'Dao' to take pity, I have already waited for ten thousand years! Later generations then used "sitting on a stone seeking the Dao" to describe a firm heart towards the Dao.

The Ji surname imperial family of Jing Country often claimed to be descendants of the ancient Human Emperor, but in reality, their bloodline was very distant, just forcefully attached by "kinship." Ji Jing Lu analogizing this battle to the Human Emperor seeing Bu Lian, viewing this battle as a battle of seeking the Dao, truly elevated Jiang Wang very high. He also viewed himself as very significant.

Cao Yu Qian seemed to think as he watched the painting scroll disappear, then turned his head and smiled slightly:

"After True Person Jiang leaves Heavenly Capital City, it wouldn't hurt to come to the Northern Border first. The scenery in Jing Country is different from other places, it changes unpredictably, with ten steps shifting the scene and a hundred li separating the sky. You can also see the difference between Eagle Yang and Yellow Dragon, and Shooting Voice Mansion."

He dusted off the corner of his clothes and lifted his long bow. His voice was still there, but the person was already gone. The arrow flew across the long sky with a whistle.

The martial arts grandmaster of Jing Country, Cao Yu Qian, accepted the challenge!

Shu Wei Jun stood on the high cliff, his white hair blowing in the wind. His white hair was different from Lu Shuang He's. Lu Shuang He's white hair was the color of snow, ice cold and piercing. His white hair was withered, like the old calluses on his hands, the flattened peaks of his fists, and the scars on his body. It was the consumption of a martial artist over long years, the evidence of years passing by.

He looked at the thunderous light, his face showing almost no expression:

"In my impression, True Person Jiang seems to have never been to Heaven Absolute Peak. Giant City has changed a lot recently, it wouldn't hurt for True Person Jiang to come and take a look. If you have any opinions, please don't be stingy with your advice."

Without waiting for the thunderous voice to respond, he directly leaped up and disappeared into the horizon.

The martial arts grandmaster of the Mo family, Shu Wei Jun, accepted the challenge!

Among the four great martial arts grandmasters present, suddenly only Wu Xun remained. Before today, the so-called "top three in the world of martial arts," only Wang Xiao had no sect or country, a solitary figure. He had only one disciple, who was still in Three Mountain City of Zhuang Country. The rest were either pillars of sects, or beams of countries, or even directly king's grandsons and noble scions.

In this glorious feast of the martial arts world's leap forward, the country with the biggest benefit could of course only be Wei Country. And the world's martial arts benefited Wang Xiao, while Wei Country's martial arts benefited Wu Xun.

As the martial arts grandmaster who single-handedly created the era of martial cultivation in Wei Country, the benefits Wu Xun gained from this martial arts opening were second only to Wang Xiao himself. His distance from the absolute peak of martial arts was actually only a layer of window paper, or even the window paper had already been torn, and the window was just a decoration.

He fundamentally didn't need anyone to hone him; he could complete it anytime, anywhere. But facing Jiang Wang's sudden challenge, he still stopped his original intention to ascend to the peak, faced it with a smile, and with a lift of his finger, a tiger talisman phantom flew directly into the distant empty space:

"The ultimate intent of the Grotto True realm, I also want to know exactly who is the strongest! Relying on this talisman's intent, one can pass through the army unimpeded. Since True Person Jiang wants to inspect my martial art, why not also inspect my Great Wei military troops as well!"

Under the full entrustment of the Wei Country emperor, he had devoted himself to training this military force, which already had a history of thirty years. What could happen in thirty years? Qi Emperor Jiang Shu only took twenty-four years from ascending the throne to dominating. Jiang Wang was already an absolute top True Person, yet he was not yet thirty years old.

The sharpness of the Wei Martial Troops had not yet been deeply embodied. In history, they had had several confrontations with the Xia Army and some friction with the Jing Army, but they were all neither painful nor itchy. Now Wu Xun was willing to take them out and let Jiang Wang see that the current Wei Martial Troops were fundamentally not afraid of being seen!

Where was he letting Jiang Wang inspect? This was the great prosperity of martial arts, the dragon vein of Wei Country, which should have the chanting of the nine heavens. It should be witnessed by the most dazzling heavenly talent in the present world.

The martial arts grandmaster of Wei Country, Wu Xun, accepted the challenge!

The Too Virtual Jiang Ge Yuan was a first-class precious identity in the present world. Tracing back to the ancient Heavenly Person Jiang, he had already confirmed the road to the absolute peak and had the possibility of extraordinary detachment that could be seen. Jiang Wang, after defeating Lu Shuang He, even if he peeled off the heavenly person state, was still the most forceful competitor for the first Grotto True in the world!

Now, Jiang Wang, floating on the Shan Tai Xi River, opened his mouth and said he wanted to help several martial arts grandmasters complete their final preparations before the absolute peak, and no one would question it. In front of these martial arts grandmasters who were already prepared to take the last step, all identities were unimportant, but the sharpness of Long Xiang Si truly existed.

Within the martial arts world, various sides came and went again, and the wind and clouds rolled and opened again. If there were Yin Yang Family cultivators looking at the qi, they would see that the qi of the world's martial arts seemed to rise in wolf smoke, grand and spectacular. They would also see the martial arts fortune cloud drifting and scattering in the human world, and the martial arts merit being shared by the world. Grand ten thousand li steaming cloud and mist, truly a good qi scene!

There were no Yin Yang Family cultivators present now. Or rather, those skills of the Yin Yang Family had long been divided up by various families. Those who had inherited the Yin Yang Family's inheritance were two. One was causing trouble in Chu Country, not good. The other was just sitting at the stern of a black awning boat, rocking on the Shan Tai Xi River, overlooking this dimly lit scene.

He borrowed the opportunity of the heavenly Dao knocking on the door to personally participate in the changes of the martial arts world, which might be truer than any qi-looking technique.

Mi Zhi Ben painstakingly planned, leading the heavenly person to block the Dao. Now the heavenly person did indeed want to act, but not in the way Mi Zhi Ben wanted. Ever since the Duke of Hui Country sealed his heavenly person state for him, he had been seeking another possibility of ascending to the top. Today, Mi Zhi Ben's forced summoning with heavenly intent also caused him to ponder upon the heavenly Dao again.

This heavenly person, acting towards the "martial arts grandmasters who are just about to ascend to the top," challenging four at once, where was this not the biggest "respect" for the heavenly Dao's summons? Although this act was a bit late, this attitude was absolutely praiseworthy, indeed praiseworthy! Mi Zhi Ben used "bullying heaven" as his code, and he was also seeking the way to "bully heaven." Rather than saying he was understanding the heavenly Dao, it would be better to say he was understanding Mi Zhi Ben!

Just at this moment, the Too Virtual Hook Jade flashed lightly. Jiang Wang took a look and saw that it was Qin Zhi Zhen's reply letter, which had just slowly flown over at this time. The words were simple and concise, and clearly expressed indignation:

"You are truly childish!"

True Person Jiang was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and then recalled the origin of this reply letter. His mood suddenly improved. He casually tore up the scattered letters, replied to some cultivation-related content, and conveniently replied to Qin Guang Wang as well:

"What happened? I was too busy before and didn't notice the message."

After waiting for a while, Qin Guang Wang did not reply, so he exited his mind.

The Shan Tai Xi River was very quiet, with strange and varied stalactites overhead, resembling statues of evil gods. Jiang Wang looked towards the front of the boat, looking at Ye Qing Yu and Jiang An An in their fighting stances, and couldn't help but want to point out how unqualified their fighting stances were. But he held back. Then he cursed:

"Stupid Gray, squat properly! Not one bit of disaster fighting talent was inherited. You stupid dog!"

Stupid Gray blinked its eyes, wisely not retorting.

True Person Jiang then smiled at Qing Yu and his sister and said:

"Inside this Shan Tai Xi River, it's dark and has no daytime, and there's nothing to see. I'll take you to Heavenly Capital City to watch a big show – how about it?"

Jiang An An, who always loved to join in the fun, immediately twisted her clothes tightly, her eyes shifty, and her expression very nervous:

"Brother, who do you want to fight with again?"

Jiang Wang, Heavenly Capital City, big show. These few words linked together were truly shocking! If the people in Heavenly Capital City heard this, perhaps only a few could sleep peacefully.

The last time Jiang Wang went to Heavenly Capital City, the shock was heard throughout the world, and the waves have not subsided since. This time, bringing a contemporary extreme true cultivation, and going to Heavenly Capital City again, how big a commotion would it cause?

However, Ye Qing Yu smiled gently, casually brushed her hand, and put away all the puppets:

"Okay."

She wasn't worried at all. The reason was very simple – if Jiang Wang was really going to Heavenly Capital City to cause trouble, he would absolutely not bring Jiang An An. Nor would he bring himself.

"It's a fight, but not the kind of fight you think." Jiang Wang looked at his sister, feeling a little cry-laugh:

"What, in the eyes of you, Heroine Jiang, is your own brother such a troublesome person?"

Jiang An An relaxed a lot and stuck out her tongue:

"Jiang Old Heaven is so scary now, he wants to fight everywhere, and he still says he's not causing trouble!"

This nickname "Jiang Old Heaven" was invented by her after she learned that her old brother had become a heavenly person. Old Heaven's surname is now Jiang!

Jiang An An put her arm around Ye Qing Yu:

"Where Sister Qing Yu goes, I go!"

Ye Qing Yu then laughed:

"I still quite want to go back and record the accounts. If things are not finished, they always hang in my heart –"

Jiang An An stood on tiptoe and covered her mouth:

"But you want to go to the Central Domain to play even more!"

Heaven knows that she had always known the Central Domain was prosperous and had good scenery. But because her brother's relationship with Jing Country was not very harmonious, her Little Heroine Jiang might never have wandered over there. The food in the Central Domain was all brought by others, and she might not have had the joy of waiting by the pot and eating it fresh out of the oven.

Now that her brother was leading the team to Jing Country to play, what wouldn't she, Jiang An An, go for? The water of the Shan Tai Xi River had long been thrown to the back of her mind.

Jiang Wang just smiled and lifted his foot to walk. Countless lines of light flew out of his eyes, finally interwoven into a see-hear boat that appeared white externally. It carried Qing Yu, An An, and Stupid Gray, and just like that, it flew outwards.

"Hey, my boat!" Although Jiang An An had grown up rich and lacked nothing, her bumpy childhood experience still made her not extravagant, unwilling to just leave the black awning boat here.

"Let's just leave it, I'll buy you a better one when we get back –"

"What do you mean leave it! It's worth a lot of money!"

"It's already sunk!"

As Jiang Wang's voice fell, the see-hear boat was already speeding like the wind and electricity, leaving the Wu Meng mountain range and rushing towards the distant sky. Losing the person at the helm, there was no Dao Yuan and dark river water to confront. Although Jiang An An's black awning boat was also an extraordinary object, it couldn't even last for three breaths and undoubtedly sank into the water.

It had merged into the dark river without a trace, the endless water surface, and the waves were calm. Everything was very quiet. It seemed as if there had never been a boat traveling, and no one had ever come here to appreciate the scenery.

Until the last trace of sound had also scattered away.

Gurgle, gurgle.

Bubbles emerged from the place where the boat had sunk, as if a big fish was breathing, but there was fundamentally no fish to be seen. After the bubbles burst for a while, they began to sink downwards. It was as if a bottomless vortex had appeared in the original place, absorbing all the surrounding water elements. It was also like… a silently gazing dome, a deep and endless eye.
