Chapter 2364: Dreamless Celestials

Random Recommendation:

This is the fifth watch of the night, the last section of "Night Chop for Three." The night curtain hangs down, spread upon the sea surface.

The entire Ghost Face Fish sea area is extremely quiet.

Quiet to the point of being oppressive.

Even the sea waves are thoughtfully silent.

Everyone can feel the emotions, suppressed like underground lava, beneath Jiang Wang's calm exterior.

Full of killing intent, nowhere to vent. He raises his sword and looks around, yet doesn't know whom to chop. How stifling!

As Li Longchuan's close friends, how could they not feel the same?

Only, each person has their bindings, each person has their scruples. Each person lives in this world, bound by different rules and regulations. You can't necessarily be angry, and you can't necessarily even be wronged.

Body in the red dust, body is a thread of red dust.

Falling into the sea of bitterness, each person must endure.

So they could understand the explosion of Jiang Wang's emotions, could understand Jiang Wang pushing away their well-intentioned dissuasion. And they still wanted to continue stopping him, still would take action to stop him – only they couldn't clearly see Jiang Wang's Tribulation Void Realm.

When they actually saw Tian Anping fall into a near-death state, just as they wanted to open their mouths to stop, Jiang Wang himself stopped the sword.

But probably only Tian Anping understood, what kind of power it takes to struggle free from the choice of the Heavenly Way at such a time.

Looking at Tian Anping's swaying receding figure, Yan Fu let out a breath!

No matter how much he detested Tian Anping, he absolutely did not want Tian Anping to die by Jiang Wang's hand.

If such a thing truly happened, not to mention him, Yan Fu, the great young master Yan, even his grandfather Yan Ping personally coming out couldn't smooth over the seriously collapsed situation.

But he had just now truly felt Jiang Wang's killing intent!

Tian Anping survived the tribulation, and he felt that he himself had also escaped the suffocating edge.

Wen Tinglan at this time pulled at the corner of Yan Fu's clothes and softly asked: "Counting today, Tian Anping has threatened you twice, hasn't he?"

Because when Jiang Wang's last sword pressed down on Tian Anping, he had said "don't let me hear the third time."

Yan Fu thought seriously for a moment, shook his head: "Can't remember. That madman Tian Anping has probably threatened other people too. Perhaps Chong Xuan Sheng?"

At this time, a voice rang out from the side: "The first time Tian Anping threatened you was before the start of the second Qi Xia War, at the general's platform when appointing generals."

Some things you don't remember yourself, but your friends help you remember.

Yan Fu was stunned for a moment, especially in the place where another friend had died, the feelings were particularly complex. Only under Wen Tinglan's pull did he awaken, and hurriedly turned sideways: "Cao Shuai! When did you..."

He swallowed this question before he could finish asking it.

At this time, the one speaking to answer doubts and recount the old matters between Tian Anping and Yan Fu, was the Qi people's highest military commander in the East Sea at this moment, Duke Cao Ji.

No matter what, Cao Ji could not have come early.

Otherwise, how could he watch with open eyes as an outsider almost killed the Great Qi Empire's Zhan Yu commander?

Even if Tian Anping was the provocateur, the Qi people would only help the Qi people. As a Great Qi Duke, he had even less choice.

So Cao Ji could only have just arrived.

"I just arrived," Cao Ji said.

Having witnessed the entire fight, he looked at Jiang Wang standing alone in the air, his eyes extremely complex... Among them was shock, a sigh, pity, and also pity.

He was shocked by the unprecedented power Jiang Wang displayed in the Cave Truth realm, and he pitied the fortunate general who was once under his command, who had walked so far alone, a single body, walking alone to today's height. He pitied even more... that all this was coming to an end.

Jiang Wang was already trapped in the deep sea of the Heavenly Way, about to drown eternally.

The things that Tian Anping could see, he of course could also see.

From Hai Men Island to the Ghost Face Fish sea area, the journey of this investigation was this contemporary true person named "Jiang Wang"'s farewell to his close friend Li Longchuan, and why not his own farewell to himself? Before losing himself, the last "self"...

Cao Ji of course knew why Jiang Wang could restrain his killing intent in the end – it could be said that at the moment Chang Xiang Si hovered in the air, Jiang Wang's feelings towards Qi Country should not receive any doubt.

He truly once took Qi Country as his home, a wandering traveler who, after unfortunately losing everything, found his hometown.

Even later in farewell, he never forgot.

Heavenly Persons fear nothing, but Jiang Wang's heart has a place that belongs to Qi, and he is afraid of losing it.

Xu Xiangqian shouted at this time: "Duke, you must not be biased! This matter does not blame Jiang Wang."

His eyes were far from swollen down, his entire upper face was a large bump connected to small bumps, very comical, but his expression was very serious: "Our Long Men Academy is watching!"

According to Wu Yan lightly pulled him once, indicating to him that it was unnecessary. If Cao Ji was truly going to do something, he wouldn't wait until this moment.

Xu Xiangqian, who cared then became chaotic, completely lacked his usual cleverness. Pulled like this, he instead remembered his true master, and then added: "Our Qing Ya Academy is also watching!"

"Just now there were some misunderstandings here," Yan Fu paid attention to Cao Ji's expression, carefully chose his words and said: "Tian Shuai was a bit excessive, of course Jiang Zhenren was also not too polite. The two true persons were sparring out of interest, both are temporary strong ones, it's inevitable there are some bumps. Tian Shuai's injuries, should invite a doctor, should use medicine, my family is willing to bear all resources—"

Cao Ji said: "Jiang Wang he... is about to become a true Heavenly Person."

Yan Fu was stunned there.

He hadn't expected that he had just accepted the departure of one friend, only to welcome the farewell of another friend.

Heavenly Person, Heavenly Person, a true Heavenly Person, the good saying is one step ascending to heaven. The bad saying, again, what is different from riding a crane to depart?

Losing oneself, what is the difference from dying?

Xu Xiangqian only reacted at this time – after driving away Tian Anping, Jiang Wang had been silent the whole time.

Li Fengyao quickly walked two steps, wanting to go closer to see Jiang Wang's situation, but was blocked by an invisible boundary outside!

At this moment!

Jiang Wang stood with his sword hanging, alone there. His expression was calm, actually having a kind of peaceful feeling.

With him as the center, within a hundred zhang, heaven and sea were all separated.

Wind could not approach, rain could not approach, people could not approach.

The Heavenly Way built a fence wall for him.

He exploded with killing intent, took action regardless of everything, almost executed Tian Anping on the spot. It almost made people forget that he was still restrained by the Heavenly Way, almost made people think that he had broken through the Heavenly Person state. But it seemed that this last emotion, along with Chang Xiang Si's return to its sheath, also sank to the bottom.

Jiang Wang's indifferent gaze swept over this sea area one last time, yet did not look towards any one person.

Without speaking, his body slowly sank down.

That figure as straight as a green pine, that sword straight at his waist, in the night illuminated by starlight on the water, just like this slowly sank into the sea.

From foot to knee, sinking through abdomen and chest, over lip and nose, drowning eyebrow and eyes, in the end, that black hair, the hair on the green jade crown, also entered the water and was not seen.

Li Longchuan just like this sank into the sea.

Xu Xiangqian's mouth was wide open!

He wanted to cry, wanted to shout, had too many emotions.

Yet his dry howl yielded no sound.

Iron teeth and copper teeth were actually speechless.

Here is the Ghost Face Fish sea area, the place where Li Longchuan's body died, the place where Jiang Wang truly was drowned by the deep sea of the Heavenly Way.

Jing Country King Kun, and the five teams of Dou E elites he led, plus that head You Guo Holy Turtle... were also trapped and fallen here.

After tens of thousands of years of killing, the East Sea has many places where corpses pile up. Especially the sea area where Jue Ming Island was established, it was formerly called the "East Sea Graveyard." The Qi people built this military base on a pile of corpses.

But tonight, probably no place was as dead silent as this!

Li Fengyao, Xu Xiangqian, Zhao Wu Yan, Yan Fu, Wen Tinglan, either on the ice surface or suspended high in the air, all gazed at the sea. Until the end of their vision, in the deep sea that their line of sight could not reach, they finally could not catch up to that silent figure.

"Retreat, all of you."

Cao Ji said: "From now on, he will no longer remember who you are. And if there is any accident... I cannot necessarily protect all of you."

"Go!" Cao Ji raised his hand and waved, brushing away the several people who were unwilling to leave. He brushed them far away, after the sea corner stele, onto the horizon platform.

He himself slowly put on his helmet, tightened his full armor, and silently guarded here.

And the various islands near the sea, where the purple qi had already gradually dispersed because the Jing people had retreated, began to rise again thread by thread... weaving purple flags in the sky.

Heavenly Person Jiang Wang, hereafter acts only according to the Heavenly Way.

The Heavenly Way is constant, all actions are fixed. If it is sunrise and sunset, there is no harm. What should be held will be held, what can be respected will also be respected. Every time the country has a big sacrifice, it sacrifices to ancestors and also to heaven.

But if the operation of this Heavenly Way is an obstacle to Qi Country. Especially in this period of confused heavenly machine and declining sun and moon, one cannot not be on guard.

Perhaps... one can only eliminate this Heavenly Person.

With thousands of feelings and ten thousand complexities in his heart, the thoughts and worries of the Great Qi Duke are forever Qi Country.

Jiang Wang is in the sea.

The person is in the East Sea, the spirit is in the subconscious sea.

All is sinking.

Soaked in water, he is so quiet, letting go of the alertness of being able to enter a fighting posture at any moment. His body, which was always straight like this, also slightly curled up at this time, his two hands virtually gripping, like a well-behaved infant. It is hard to imagine his posture of drawing a sword, his madness when disregarding everything.

The sea water stirs his slender eyelashes. His eyes, which have never closed, are as blue as the sea.

He is watching himself fall with open eyes, watching himself drown with open eyes.

Even if he is destined to finally drown to death, to sink eternally into the Heavenly Way, he still wants to see clearly how he walked to that step, see clearly where he didn't do well... Absolutely not die with closed eyes.

Since he intended to pursue the extraordinary, as long as his energy allowed, he cultivated hard for twelve hours a day without interruption, for ten years like one day – he wants to open his eyes and see clearly, is there really an absolute path in the world?

Gulu gulu.

Gulu gulu.

Strings of bubbles, born in the sea water, rise up like strings of pearls.

Perhaps it is the breathing of this honorable true person, or perhaps, dream after dream vanishing.

Heavenly Persons have no dreams.

"Cough cough! Concentrate! What is your name?"

Inside the sealed prison room, Jiang Wang, who had removed his crown and sword, sat alone with disheveled hair.

Outside the prison room, three large chairs were placed.

On the chairs sat three figures with powerful auras.

The one asking the question sat in the middle, a wrinkled old monk with a yellow face, his face unclear, but full of distress.

"Jiang Wang," Jiang Wang said indifferently.

"Gender?" On the left was a ferocious god and evil ape, sitting there twisting and turning as if there were nails on the chair.

Jiang Wang did not speak.

On the right was a figure of a clear and handsome immortal dragon, with immortal qi floating, sitting there with an extremely superior posture.

"Tell us, why do you want to be a Heavenly Person?" he asked.

"I don't want to be a Heavenly Person."

The yellow-faced old monk at the side reminded him: "You can talk about your struggles and experiences, what efforts you made to become a Heavenly Person... and so on."

"...I was caught here."

"Why catch others, only want to catch you?"

Jiang Wang completely gave up speaking, directly fell back onto the haystack.

He continued to sink in the water, falling towards the deeper part of the deep sea.

Before sinking eternally into the deep sea of the Heavenly Way.

I once thought of imposing an imprint on myself that would last as long as possible.

For example, eradicating the strong and helping the weak, chopping demons and subduing devils, maintaining justice in the world, until this imprint is eroded by time, completely swallowed by the Heavenly Way. I would also have counted as struggling to the last moment.

Later I felt again, I cannot do too much. One Jiang Wang, relying on what to bear so much? One person, one sword, how can he manage the affairs of the world? Fate did not treat me gently, why should I treat fate broadly?

Just forever protect my sister!

Let Jiang Anan grow up safe and sound, without wind or rain.

But...

But I still want to protect Ye Qingyu, protect Chong Xuan Sheng, protect Xiao Wu, Hu Ge, protect Guang Shu, protect Jing Li, protect my disciple...

Bai Zhanggui, Xiang Qian brother, Gou Dahu...

Want to protect Longchuan.

I discovered I have too many attachments. Too many greedy delusions towards this world.

And the world is not as I thought.

I discovered there are too many things I want to do.

They are all there, waiting to be continued, unfinished.

The Heavenly Way is eternal, nothing will get better.

I don't want to hand over all that to the Heavenly Way.

What I want, I want to grasp myself.

In the middle of that sealed prison room. Jiang Wang with disheveled hair and empty hands, just lay there.

He had no aura at all, like a corpse.

And an expressionless, neatly dressed Jiang Wang, stood up from inside his body.

This person had no power fluctuations at all, yet naturally embodied an overriding dignity.

Still that face, with no changes in his features, only a golden round mark in the center of his eyebrows. At first glance it looked like a brilliant sun, on closer inspection it became a silver moon.

Golden sun and silver moon continuously changed, appearing virtual and real, true and illusion, swallowing all brilliant light.

Sun and Moon Heaven Seal.

Heavenly Person Jiang Wang!

He simply stood there, clearly the master of this place. His gaze swept over the three honorable dharma images outside the door, as if looking at ants and beings. Indifferent and aloof, without any emotions.

So-called dignity, nobility, immortal intent, and the phase of beings are merely fleeting clouds, dust, vacuum.

When he raised his hand, it was as if he already controlled everything.

His hand pressed on the door of this small prison room.

This is the heart of the person named Jiang Wang.

When he pushes open the door and walks out, he will possess everything.

Swallowing laws, the three honors intend to get the Heavenly Person. The bitter world is vast, act on behalf of heaven and patrol!

But...

He did not push.

In his indifferent, emotionless eyes, a wisp of doubt leaped out.

Heavenly Person Jiang Wang does not have any emotions, he just purely, for this matter, had a slight lack of understanding.

But he quickly thought clearly.

He looked at the three honors outside the door again, raised his eyes and said: "Open the door."

This is not a request.

This is the command of the Heavenly Way.

This is the decision that should be made by the master of this body.

The three dharma images of the honors outside the door looked at each other, face to face, as if struggling and hesitating.

"I'll open it—" That evil ape shouted, took a big step forward, opened its furry big hand, and grabbed the five fingers of Heavenly Person Jiang Wang who was just pushing the door, grabbing onto the railing!

"Open your thieving old heaven's mother, this old man will open a bloody eye for you!"

Heavenly Person Jiang Wang was expressionless, just flipped his hand, and the evil ape's furry hand was twisted in his hand.

With this grip, he casually pulled, directly pulling this arm off from the evil ape's body – fresh blood splashed, tendons twisted, and the evil ape's painful cry!

He casually threw this arm on the ground, making a "bang" sound!

"Open the door," he repeated without emotions, pushing the door without feeling.

The Sun and Moon Heaven Seal on his eyebrows instantly turned into a golden sun.

Even the crying evil ape dharma image showed a struggling expression, seemingly hard to control itself.

The immortal dragon dharma image and the beings dharma image almost simultaneously stepped forward, yet suddenly stopped.

Because just at this moment, that heart prison room suddenly emitted light from its four walls.

Divided into four colors: green, black, red, and purple, and mutually mixed.

Heavenly Person Jiang Wang's hand was firmly pushed away by that brilliant light—

He turned his head to the side, looked at his hand that should have controlled everything, and for a while could not understand, fixed there.

And in the Ghost Face Fish sea area outside, Cao Ji, who was wearing a helmet and full armor, was just quietly standing in the air. Suddenly, a surprised look appeared on his face, and he raised his head high to look, only to see that in the quiet night sky, stars hung over the sea.

The entire nearby sea could see tonight.

Who could sleep tonight?

But they saw four brilliant stars bloom with unparalleled splendor, illuminating the night sky and covering all the starlight and moonlight.

Those are the four heaven-supporting starlight holy towers, suppressing the universe, narrating the various heavens.

And the starlight rotated, the star roads connected, thus forming the Big Dipper hanging high, guiding the direction for bitter travelers in the East Sea.

An extremely terrifying starlight heaven pillar fell from the distant ancient starry sky, instantly penetrating the deep sea, locking the entire Ghost Face Fish sea area!

Formerly, Jiang Wang used the four towers to imprison himself, saying—

"Faith," "Sincerity," "Benevolence," "Martial."
