Chapter 2583: Moonlit Boat

A random recommendation:

Just as Jiang Wang complained to Zhong Xuan – isn't this person just writing and drawing every day?

Cultivating to a certain realm, there aren't so many miscellaneous matters. Because the things that can influence such cultivators are already few and far between – of course, official path cultivators are an exception; the official path is precisely about handling the affairs of the world's people.

Actually, compared to his diligent old colleagues, outside of Jiang (Wang's) active or passive involvement in those earth-shattering major events, these few young cabinet members actually have more leisure.

More accurately, a part of Zhong Xuan and Ju Kui's cultivation is precisely the affairs they handle. One establishes rules and regulations, one writes history and records. The Wu Xing Ta and Dao Bi Ge are also managed by them personally, and with the development of the Tai Xu Ge, they supplement and benefit their own cultivation.

So in the Tai Xu Huan Jing, they both have more duties. They are often busy here and busy there, everywhere tied up.

While other younger cabinet members basically all focus on their own cultivation, leaving miscellaneous matters to their respective departments to handle.

Even more so like Jiang Wang who doesn't set up a department, never absent from the major matters discussed in the Tai Xu assembly, never managing trivial matters. And also the kind like Li Yi who attends meetings only as decoration, speaking equivalent to a mouthpiece.

So being "busy" for Jiang Wang is actually a rare thing.

His busyness is cultivation, not some mundane affairs.

Taking dry shares in De Sheng Hang, standing guard in Zi Ji Tang, standing by with hands in sleeves in Bai Yu Jing Tavern, he always avoids distractions whenever possible. People familiar with him also know he diligently cultivates and doesn't easily disturb him.

But since the battle at Tian Hai, after seeing off Zhi Di Zang, this immortal body hasn't really stopped cultivating.

Indeed, all matters are his choices, and there are reasons he cannot miss each matter, but these successive things still show a kind of uncommon coincidence.

Of course, this is only a tiny bit of discord. If based on this, then saying oneself is designed by someone is simply having persecution delusion.

But because he has to face the Qi Hen, he then has to give rise to enormous vigilance from this!

At this moment, the immortal boat crosses the void, the immortal dragon treads the boat and traces the moon, looking up at the night sky, only the moonlight is a pillar.

The horizon is boundless, full of "only I" sword light.

Stepping forward to Dong Zhen, it is indeed different from the past; the sharpness of the dragon light shooting into Dou does indeed steal the color of all stars and the moon.

If the immortal dragon Dharma aspect is at its peak, it can fight one on one with Dong Zhen.

At this moment, the immortal dragon has just begun to rebuild, and still needs to "borrow strength."

A pair of immortal dragon horns, shining with light.

The immortal dragon body, in an instant, the five mansions rotate, the splendor light dazzling!

San Mei True Fire Seal, Yao Dao Seal, Bu Zhou Wind Seal, Jian Xian Seal, Hong Xin Seal, five seals divine illumination.

Before today, why the cultivation of the immortal dragon Dharma aspect was not so urgent, there was another important reason – this aspect is only at the Dong Zhen level, and does not affect combat power too much. And it can get support from his body at any time, not to mention situations where the main body personally arrives. Just with the five seals divine illumination, it is enough to push this aspect back to Dong Zhen combat power.

The immortal dragon has already realized something is wrong, but doesn't want to let the Qi Hen know he has already realized it, so he still took Fan Qian's challenge.

Moreover, the decadent youth in Qing Yang Zhen, who muddled through the days and claimed to be just waiting to die, has today achieved such accomplishments, following his master's footsteps, picking up the lost Only I Flying Sword Way, and re-ascending the peak of Dong Zhen... How should this not be celebrated?!

Thus, the horizontal boat against the moon, fighting Dong Zhen with Dong Zhen.

The immortal dragon with the five seals divine illumination, and Dong Zhen Fan Qian's horizontal void seeing the edge.

The Jiang Wang Dao body sitting in Cangyun Cheng, however, lifted his hand and wrote a letter, sending it to the wind and flower figures of Da Qi –

"Brother Zhong Xuan, are you busy?"

As said, the young cabinet members inside the Tai Xu Ge are all not busy.

Zhong Xuan Zun is especially so; he is not even very busy in cultivation. Usually, he doesn't seem to put in any effort at all, either reading idle books or boiling tea and reading idle books.

Sometimes he also drinks alcohol; if he drinks too much, he also reads idle books.

Of course, whether he secretly puts in effort or not is not clear.

Anyway, every time Jiang Wang sees him, he is extremely leisurely. The only time he was busy and cramped was still at Zhong Xuan Zun's wedding, arranged by Senior Ming Guang to be a greeter.

Zhong Xuan Zun is so idle that Jiang Wang's letter just sent over, and the Tai Xu Yu flickered.

He took out the letter, unfolded and read it. The handwriting on the letter was sloppy, the intent very casual, only three large characters –

"State the remuneration."

Jiang Wang was stunned for three breaths.

His expression was complex, and he sighed.

He originally wanted to interact with the friendship of a colleague, but what he got in return was indifference! It was calculation! It was naked exchange of interests!

Jiang (Wang) then directly stated the conditions: "The main body will accompany practice once, the location is Cangyun Cheng, the time is set by you."

Accompanying practice is different from sparring, it is a difficult task. Basically, you just get beaten, and check for leaks and fill gaps, helping the other party better adapt to the absolute peak combat power.

Soon, Zhong Xuan Zun replied to the letter: "State the matter."

Jiang Wang also did not argue with him, writing – "Help me investigate a little, what important matters Zhong Xuan is busy with recently."

At the moment of doubting the situation of the immortal dragon, Zhong Xuan's "having matters" also made Jiang Wang suspicious.

Of course, he is not suspecting Zhong Xuan, just like Fan Qian came to challenge today, he also cannot suspect Fan Qian has problems. He suspects whether all these inevitably produced "busyness" have a hidden hand manipulating them.

Whether this thread of dust fate is pinched into a ball by some force.

He is Shi San Zheng Tian Ren, possesses Yao Dao, and has ascended to the absolute peak, it is extremely difficult to be influenced by the will of Heaven. The Qi Hen may not directly manipulate him with the will of Heaven, but through other people and other matters to follow the trend and trap him for a time is a good choice.

Now he is precisely to verify this point.

Of course, he cannot directly ask Zhong Xuan, Zhong Xuan himself doesn't know. Asking other people to investigate is also very likely to alert the enemy. Furthermore, he might even be deceived by the Qi Hen and given a misleading answer.

Asking colleagues in the Tai Xu Ge for help is the best. Firstly, everyone is familiar with Zhong Xuan and it is easy to get in. Secondly, there is Tai Xu Dao Master watching above, doing anything is relatively secret and safer.

Huang Sheli is not yet at the absolute peak, not steady enough. Dou Zhao... cannot interrogate Mr. Zhong strictly again.

The value of Zhong Xuan as a cabinet member is then manifested at this moment.

This person is born to cut through delusions. He can directly point to the fundamentals of all things and is fundamentally not confused.

What matters Zhong Xuan has is also very difficult to hide from him.

Otherwise...

When that letter from Zhong Xuan Zun saying "State the remuneration" flew over, Jiang Wang directly pinched the letter!

Zhong Xuan Zun's letters are always concise and straightforward, like sword light.

It doesn't care about Jiang Wang's mood, it flies straight over, the pen like a dragon and snake, in one go, without allowing refusal –

"Magic Ape is also going to make a move, Dao body against Dao body, Dharma body against Dharma body."

Are you afraid you can't bear it!

Jiang Wang 'hmph'ed, and replied: "Brother Zhong Xuan's heroic posture is peerless, his elegance spans a hundred generations. To be able to be a whetstone for a cabinet, I am willing."

Zhong Xuan Zun's reply was still very simple –

"Deal."

Just these two Da Qi characters flew willfully, quite some joy and relaxation.

Facing Feng Qi's direct disciple, the contemporary successor of the Only I Sword Way, it was not so relaxed.

The immortal dragon would never admit that he was just changing places to vent his anger. He was determined that he was acting with a heart of responsibility for his friend, to inform the other party that "there are mountains beyond mountains," lest Dong Zhen should not know the "truth."

Hence... full power.

The five seals divine illumination made this body return to the Dong Zhen level. Although it did not even have the kind of crushing extent as crushing Tian Anping in the East Sea at the beginning... Fan Qian is after all just reaching Dong Zhen.

This battle was abnormally stalemated.

"Stalemated" is that Fan Qian came with excitement, but could not fight over, nor leave.

Finally, he simply closed his eyes and stirred his hands: "You hit me to death!"

The heaven and earth cycling dragon light shooting into Dou was still fighting desperately. The rear sword master surrendered, making it fall headfirst, directly into the mud ground.

Fighting with flying sword cultivators, a broken sword deciding life and death is not considered anything. Flying swords were originally cultivated by intertwining life and death, an extremely rigid technique. They often clash in an instant. If you win, you crush dry weeds and smash rotten wood; if you lose, the sword breaks and the person dies.

Only a stalemated fierce battle, only defeat but not injury, shows the gap. It explains that the other side is always calmly controlling the field, holding the extremely sharp flying sword in their palm.

The immortal dragon hooked his hand like scooping the moon from the water, and scooped the pitiful dragon light shooting into Dou into his hand, saying to this sword way: "Precious sword ah, precious sword ah, entrusted to the wrong person, abandoned like worn shoes! Better than a flower blooming another leaf, a sparrow flying to another branch, follow me!"

Fan Qian shook his hand: "Take it! Take it! Today I reach Dong Zhen, there is no road ahead, I just don't know how to cross it. I will wander the world! Then leave this sword for you to cherish!"

Saying this, he actually truly turned around.

"Hey—" The immortal dragon smiled and blocked him: "Your Excellency has come from afar, your sword pressing on the stars and moon, Jiang (Wang) has to respond. How is it instead like I am bullying you?"

Smiling and smiling, he did not smile anymore, because he discovered that Fan Qian was actually quite serious. He couldn't help but ask: "Do you really want to go?"

Today's Fan Qian still had stubble, a face full of sighs, and his eyes were still lifeless, listless as if about to fall asleep.

But he had already thought clearly and smiled back: "This day will come sooner or later."

At that time, the sword splendor was like the moon, bathing his body, his tone indifferent: "If I can never reach Dong Zhen in my life, deeply betraying the name of 'Only I,' I must muddle through Shen Lu, never daring to approach the East Sea in my life. Now that I have reached Dong Zhen, there is hope for the absolute peak, this matter I must do – because this sword is only I, there is no other in the world."

"I have walked to here, I want to go further."

"However, in the era of the decline of flying swords, how difficult is the absolute peak?"

"I once cried bitterly in Tian Ma Ping, because I knew there was no road ahead. The Eternal Sword Sovereign is not eternal, the flying sword has not yet become an era, it has already shattered."

"Iron and stone cast swords can be, broken swords can even be reconnected, but it is hard to have world-shaking sharpness again."

"Jiang Mengxiong shattered his sword into fists, my master folded his sword to the horizon, Yan Chunhui is muddled. My talent is not as good as my master's, my talent is far inferior to the military god's. Now that there is no road in the present world, I should follow the horizon far away."

In those days of seeing no hope, he also didn't know how long he had thought.

In any case, he made such a decision.

Very calm, just as he initially summoned his flying sword and decided to fight with Jiang Wang.

At that moment, they faced a strong enemy, of course, but today, he wants to challenge the absolute peak that even Feng Qi back then could not cross.

"I will go to the star domain illuminated by Dou and Niu. Explore new possibilities for the dragon light shooting into Dou, but I cannot bring this flying sword."

Fan Qian said very seriously: "It is my reliance, it is what I cultivate with my life, and it is also my knowledge barrier. All my skills are on this flying sword, but if I want to surpass my master, I must first put it down."

So today was to bid farewell!

The immortal dragon was speechless for a moment.

Although Fan Qian's surname is Xiang, and he also walks alone on the horizon, Xingyue Plain has always been a foothold for him. He also always circles back and passes by, lying down for two days, freeloading some wine and food, and then walking far away.

But this time is different. This time, once he leaves, he may never return.

Jiang Wang knew early on that life is a long journey, and there is always parting. But he is always not too able to get used to it.

Fan Qian said again: "I heard An An and Chu Yao are roaming the world. You have your arrangements, I will not disturb them. Tell them, I came to see them, and also left them some sword technique homework."

He laughed to himself and continued: "I'll just leave my flying sword here with you, please guard it for me. One day, when this sword hangs in the void and its light illuminates Bai Yu Jing, that will be the time of my return!"

His high spirits only lasted for an instant and then declined again: "If I never return, just break it. This path is at its absolute end, no more misleading people."

"Or one day—" He looked at Jiang Wang: "You find a method, then help me find a successor."

The immortal dragon shook his head: "I don't understand flying swords anymore. If you can't find a method, I definitely can't either."

"You will have a method." Fan Qian said.

He repeated very seriously: "What I believe most is you."

The immortal dragon was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "It's good to go out and walk around. After all, the universe is vast, there are infinite possibilities – I'm just afraid you'll get lazy somewhere, not wake up from a big dream, and sleep and forget old friends!"

Fan Qian also smiled: "Dong Zhen has a thousand years of life, there's plenty of time to think before death."

The immortal dragon looked at the old friend in front of him and said seriously: "You once told me that you see your master as a god. But I think, the more the sword is a god in your heart, the more you will pick the flower on the other shore. You can definitely surpass your master, surpass all the mountains you once thought you could never climb."

He then flipped his hand and took out a folded Qing Yang Tian Qi: "This journey is far, the horizon is unpredictable. I'll send you a protective talisman, as a witness to your and my acquaintance – don't forget the way back."

Fan Qian jumped far away: "Scary! What an ugly thing!"

Facing Jiang Wang's helpless eyes, he smiled again and recovered some seriousness: "The flying sword way, there is advance but no retreat. Either the enemy dies, or the sword shatters. I don't plan to leave a way back, and you shouldn't leave one for me either. Without the courage to surpass all, to walk alone, I absolutely cannot go any further."

He doesn't want the Qing Yang Tian Qi, and he definitely won't leave the Hong Xin Seal either.

Jiang Wang of course knows that perhaps his way is correct, and it is indeed the only hopeful choice, but he also inevitably worries for his friend and enjoins again: "If you have urgent matters, tell Yu Heng, Senior Guan Yan will inform me immediately."

"Stop, stop, stop! Do you think I'm Jiang An An!" Fan Qian blocked with one hand vertically, and stroked lightly over his forehead with parallel fingers of the other hand. That pair of dead fish eyes instantly became hazy and then recovered with a sigh: "What did you just say? I've already forgotten! Don't say anything that will mess up my Dao heart again. I've wasted so many years, it's not easy to muster the courage."

The immortal dragon sighed, and finally only said: "Shopkeeper Bai is at home, aren't you planning to chat for a couple of sentences?"

Fan Qian waved his hand: "I'm afraid he'll hinder me!"

Thus, he leaped up and went far to the horizon.

"Right."

There was a wisp of sword light, hanging in the long night. Fan Qian's last leaving voice said: "Shen Xiu Poetry Collection should be read less, that thing is very toxic – look, you even want to write poetry!"

The immortal dragon was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Golden words!"

At the moment of bidding farewell to this old friend, he suddenly thought of Xu Xiangqian.

He lifted his pen and wanted to write a letter, but thought about it and stopped. This fellow talks too much nonsense, and once you start chatting, there's no end... This immortal body still needs to cultivate.

Finally, he turned around and returned to the tavern.

The Bai Yu Jing Tavern's floors above the tenth floor are not open to guests.

At the stairs from the tenth floor to the eleventh floor, Fan Qian had Jing Li Xiao Sheng Monk sit there, receiving his enlightenment business. He didn't deceive children or elders, the price was not cheap, all supplementing the tavern.

Now Xiao Sheng Monk is no longer empty.

In the corner of the stairs, a divine shrine is provided.

It is also very reasonable to provide a wealth god in a place where business is conducted.

Of course, providing a female wealth god is even more reasonable.

When the immortal dragon went upstairs, he saw Mu Fu Yao stopping here, quiet and thoughtful. Thus, he walked up: "Venerable Mu, you are the highest existence in the contemporary world in terms of God path attainment. What insights do you have into this merchant God path?"

"Original Heaven God's unlocking chains and proving the origin was not long ago, and there is also Cang Tu God. I am merely a Yang God, how dare I claim 'most'?" Mu Fu Yao was very humble: "Combining this merchant path and God path is indeed a heaven-sent talent. It's just a pity that the merging of the two realms in the world was too late, and I was locked in seclusion for a long time. I did not see the previous generation of wealth gods and cannot discuss with Him. Deeply regretful!"

Jiang Wang instinctively wanted to say, "The contemporary wealth god is very similar to his father, perhaps he can resolve your doubts."

But he suppressed this sentence again.

He privately hopes that Mu Fu Yao can guide Ye Qing Yu's God path cultivation, but speaking at a time when Mu Fu Yao has not yet been sent into the Tai Xu Ge will inevitably have a sense of forced pressure. Even if he does not have this intention, Mu Fu Yao has no way to refuse.

Thinking about it, he said: "Setting aside transcending, I see Venerable's heroic posture. The God path I have seen, whether it is Chi Yun Mountain God, Wu Sheng Cult Ancestor, White Bone Venerable God, are all just so-so!"

"Chi Yun Mountain God?" Mu Fu Yao frowned.

He doesn't know this god, but he thinks that being able to be parallel with White Bone must at least be a venerable underworld god.

"Those showy frames and clay Buddhas are all not worth mentioning." The immortal dragon waved his hand and got to the main point: "I want to ask Venerable – Looking at this wealth god in front of you, is there a possibility of seizing the deity position?"

If there is any worry he has about Yan Chunhui, this is the most serious point!

Ye Lingxiao would of course not leave disaster for his own daughter, but life does not follow a prescribed script, and Yan Chunhui cannot possibly stick to Ye Lingxiao's will.

Furthermore, when Ye Lingxiao initially traded with Yan Chunhui, he didn't say he would rush to die immediately. His confrontation with Yi Zhen Dao Leader was a collision of two fists, with a sword tip hidden in the fist and an iron nail hidden in the colliding opposite. One night, the wind and clouds shattered the past. He perhaps didn't have time to make proper arrangements.

Then, is it possible for Yan Chunhui, through the trade with Ye Lingxiao, to grasp a part of the wealth god's essence, seize the deity position and occupy it?

If this possibility happens, Ye Qing Yu will be truly difficult to resist.

Mu Fu Yao pondered for a moment: "Just talking about the matter of 'seizing the deity position'... Seizing divine things often occurs. After all, the foundation of a god lies in its position, not in its spirit. For example, a great position in a state and nation, where the virtuous reside, all have the possibility of being seized."

His tone was leisurely: "Going back to the early days, the Cang Tian God Lord who opened the era of God myths was precisely the result of seizing a god."
