[Current incense points: 3,809,762]

Looking at the current incense points, Jiang Changsheng smiled in satisfaction. He was really rich.

He used the incense calculator and asked, “I want to know if Jiang Luo is well.” [Requires 400 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]

400 incense points should have at least reached the Divine realm or even close to the True God realm.

Meng Qiuhe’s cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds many years ago, but he was only worth 500 incense points. Moreover, he was a real True God before he died.

When Jiang Changsheng saw that Jiang Luo looked safe, he originally wanted to choose no. However, on second thought, strength did not mean a good life.

Forget it, he would make an exception for his grandson today.

Jiang Changsheng silently chose yes.

“He is fine for the time being. He is currently training with a mysterious martial artist.”

“I want to know the realm of that mysterious martial artist.” [Requires 5,000 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]

So powerful?

Jiang Changsheng was immediately relieved. 5,000 incense points meant that he was at least at the Golden Body realm. Jiang Luo would definitely be safe if he were to follow such an expert, unless that guy wanted to hurt him.

Even if it was dangerous, Jiang Changsheng could not help for the time being. He could only think positively.

Jiang Changsheng looked at Jiang Jian. He had many grandsons, but only two of them were really pampered by him, especially Jiang Jian. As Jiang Jian grew up by his hide, he tailor-made martial techniques for him, forged a divine weapon for him, and opened his third eye. He hoped that Jiang Jian could become the Jiang Family’s leader in the future.

However, the premise of becoming the person carrying the cauldron was not to go astray.

In the future, Jiang Changsheng would be responsible for guarding the family while Jiang Jian would be responsible for expanding the territory. Not only could he obtain survival rewards, but he could also increase his incense points.

“You have received better treatment and environment than your other brothers. Don’t disappoint me.”

Jiang Changsheng silently closed his eyes and focused on his cultivation.

At the end of the year, Yu Yanyi came to visit Jiang Changsheng and revealed that a mysterious expert wanted to steal dragon veins. Jiang Changsheng did some calculations and found that the other party was only worth 5,000 incense points, so there was nothing to worry about.

Jiang Changsheng even suspected that the mysterious expert Jiang Luo followed was him, but he was too lazy to calculate. If they were really enemies, he would just kill him. He could not go to the ends of the world to find Jiang Luo if he knew in advance.

After chatting for a while, Yu Yanyi was somewhat disappointed and prepared to leave.

Over the years, she had sent many gifts, including martial arts techniques, rare treasures, divine weapons, and so on. The Fuyue Family seemed to have established a good relationship with Longqi Temple, but she knew that there was no substantial breakthrough.

Jiang Changsheng noticed her expression and took out a Beauty Pill for Yu Yanyi.

He could not always make people pay. The best gift for a woman was to make her young and ageless.

Yu Yanyi was not the only one. Qing’er had also obtained a Beauty Pill. She had once expressed her determination to Wan Li that she would stay in Longqi Temple for the rest of her life and not get married. Her father had also agreed to this. In that case, Jiang Changsheng would treat it as cashing in her salary in advance and let Qing’er work for Longqi Temple for the rest of her life.

Yu Yanyi was very happy to receive the pill, and Jiang Changsheng did not keep her for long.

This small episode did not cause any waves in Longqi Temple. This sacred land of Great Jing rarely fought with other sects. The more it was like this, the more stable the image of the sacred land was.

Time flew by.

In the 31st year of the Qianwu Era, 100,000 Heavenly Strategy troops invaded the Yugou Dynasty bordering Great Jing. They displayed their might and were unstoppable. They won consecutively and fought their way to the capital city of the Yugou Dynasty. At the end of the same year, the Yugou Dynasty was annexed by Great Jing.

The news spread throughout the Great Jing, making the commoners excited. They conquered a dynasty in a year, and the might of the Heavenly Strategy was respected by the commoners as an army.

In the 32nd year of the Qianwu Era, Great Jing took control of the Yugou

Dynasty. A large number of civil and military officials in the former Wei Dynasty were dispatched and rode on urgent carriages. The thirteen prefectures also sent a large number of civil and military officials to the former Wei Dynasty. After settling down, the imperial court collected rations in the

Yugou Dynasty and formed a logistics force to keep up with the Heavenly Strategy Army. In the second half of the year, the Heavenly Strategy Army that had finished conserving their strength began to attack the Donglin Dynasty.

The Donglin Dynasty was different from the Yugou Dynasty. There were True Gods guarding there, but the Heavenly Strategy Army also had a True God, and that True God was Ping’an.

Year 33 of the Qianwu Era, the beginning of the year.

Longqi Mountain, in the courtyard.

Jiang Xiu reported Great Jing’s achievements to everyone.

Bai Qi was amused. She smiled and said, “We’ve finally reached the Donglin Dynasty. It would be best if we could flatten the Donglin Dynasty. I’m already looking forward to Ping’an beating that True God to death!”

She was filled with emotions. When she first saw Ping’an, she only thought that he was a silly kid. She did not expect that one day, this silly kid would avenge her

Times had indeed changed.

She had personally witnessed the birth of a legend.

Jiang Xiu smiled and said, “Senior Uncle Ping’an is indeed powerful. Along the way to the west, the Heavenly Strategy Army was attacked by many experts, but they were all beaten to death by him. He did not let a single one go. They did not even have the time to investigate.”

The 54-year-old Ping’an was at his peak. Coupled with the strength of a True God, he could kill True Gods in his path and had never tasted defeat.

Jiang Jian’s hands itched when he heard that. He was already seventeen years old and was in the prime of his youth. He looked at Jiang Changsheng and asked excitedly, “Grandmaster, can I join the army?”

Jiang Changsheng, who was under the tree, did not open his eyes and calmly answered, “You can go after you reach the Golden Body realm.”

Jiang Jian revealed a bitter expression and said, “Won’t I be old when I reach the Golden Body realm?”

Jiang Changsheng said, “When you are twenty-five years old, I will give you a Beauty Pill so that you can maintain your youthful appearance forever.”

Since he was God Erlang, he naturally could not age.

Hearing this, Jiang Jian was relieved.

Jiang Xiu chuckled as he looked at this scene. He did not have much thoughts about the Beauty Pill. He was the crown prince, so he did not have to care about what others thought. Moreover, a man had to experience the vicissitudes of life before they could reveal their foundation.

Of course, if Jiang Changsheng could produce the elixir of immortality, he would definitely want it.

He was not the only one. Jiang Ziyu often asked Jiang Changsheng if he could produce an elixir of immortality. Unfortunately, Jiang Changsheng could not.

“Ninth Brother, don’t panic. Father once told me that your appearance is very important. You can only take action when you are needed to turn the tide. That will be when your value is greatest,” Jiang Xiu said with a smile.

Jiang Jian felt that it made sense and continued to ask about the situation at the front line.

Jiang Xiu told him everything he knew, but as he spoke, he suddenly coughed and his face turned pale.

Hua Jianxin immediately became nervous and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”

Jiang Xiu said helplessly, “Father’s attention is on the border during the war and the military is busy. Naturally, I have to supervise the country and manage the affairs of the other states for him. However, this dynasty is too big.”

Hua Jianxin looked at Jiang Changsheng. Jiang Changsheng immediately walked over and examined Jiang Xiu’s body. He found that he had overexerted himself.

As Jiang Changsheng used his spiritual energy to nurse him back to health, he said, “You should pay more attention to your rest and not overwork yourself.

You can get the three provinces to help you review the administrative affairs. Didn’t your father increase the number of prime ministers?”

Jiang Xiu forced a smile and said, “Leave it to the three provinces. Sooner or later, there will be big trouble. Don’t worry, I will try my best to control the time later.”

Jiang Changsheng did not force him. He asked Hua Jianxin to take three bottles of medicinal pills for Jiang Xiu to bring back.

Jiang Xiu was grateful and his heart warmed.

After Jiang Xiu left, Jiang Jian lamented, “Fortunately, I didn’t stay in the palace. If I were like him, it would be too tragic. It’s better to practice martial arts and not have so many troubles.”

Jiang Jian had grown up and was well aware of his advantages. If he were to compete with Jiang Xiu for the throne, he might very well succeed.

Firstly, Grandmaster doted on him more. Secondly, Jiang Xiu, who advocated martial arts and had mediocre martial arts qualifications, had always been criticized.

However, he was not interested in the throne. He only wanted to become someone like his Grandmaster.

He would never forget when he was young, when his Grandmaster left on a cloud, it left an indelible impression on him.

Hua Jianxin rolled his eyes at him. She turned to look in the direction where Jiang Xiu had left, and her brows were filled with worry.

Jiang Changsheng said meaningfully, “Everyone has their own choice. For emperors, some things are more important than their lifespan. Some emperors live a long life and only seek health and longevity without any achievements. There is only a brief mention of them in the history books. Even though some emperors have a short life, they can stun history. His actions show that he also has ambitions. In fact, he himself knows that, but this is his choice. We will try our best to help him.”

All Jiang Changsheng could do was to help Jiang Xiu recuperate as much as possible. However, if Jiang Xiu still overexerted himself, there was nothing he could do. After all, this was Jiang Xiu’s choice. No one could ask him to give up the position of crown prince.

Hua Jianxin sighed. She understood the reasoning, but she did not want to see her son die before her.

Jiang Jian scratched his head. He could not stand the atmosphere. He picked up the three-pointed double-edged sword and said to Bai Qi and Wang Chen, “I’m going to beat up Senior Uncle Huang Chuan. Are you here to watch the excitement?”

Bai Qi rolled her eyes at him and said, “Forget it. You’re the one getting beaten up every time.”

Wang Chen nodded silently.

Jiang Jian was annoyed and left at once.

In the 34th year of the Qianwu Era, a group of diplomats entered the capital. Li Jun led the White-robed Guards to meet with them.

In the decisive battle against the nine dynasties, Li Jun relied on the Killing God Devil Blade to obtain credit and was recommended by Jiang Changsheng to join the White-robed Guards. As he was Jiang Changsheng’s man and his martial arts were powerful, his status continued to rise. Right now, he was already the second-in-command of the White-robed Guards.

Li Jun brought the delegation to a residence to rest.

The next morning, he brought the main envoy into the palace. It was the morning court in the Golden Hall, and Jiang Ziyu was sitting on a dragon throne. There was a platform on the dragon step below, and on the platform was a precious throne for Jiang Xiu to sit on.

Only the father and son were seated in the court. Right now, Jiang Xiu was regarded as the second emperor. It was rare for a father and son to sit in the morning court together. This matter had also spread widely among the people. It seemed like the Jiang Family’s royal family no longer killed each other and the father and son no longer fought each other.

Li Jun stopped in front of the throne room and allowed the envoy to enter.

The envoy was a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing and a dignified aura. He stepped into the throne room alone and was not flustered by the gazes of the officials.

He came to the dragon step and bowed. “Wang Shu, the envoy of the Great

Wilderness Dynasty, pays his respects to the Great Jing Emperor.”

Jiang Ziyu stepped forward and teased, “May I know why the Great Wilderness Dynasty has sent you here?”

Wang Shu said expressionlessly, “His Majesty sent me here to stop the destruction of Great Jing!”

As soon as he said that, the hall fell silent.

An old official pointed at him and shouted, “Impudent! You are…”

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Jiang Ziyu raise his hand and could only shut his mouth.

Jiang Ziyu smiled and said, “Tell me about it.”

Wang Shu calmly said, “The Great Jing’s invasion will border with the Great Wilderness sooner or later. Once they do, even if the two dynasties are on good terms, we will have no choice but to guard against each other. However, there is another dynasty eyeing us covetously in the north. With a little effort, they can sow discord between Great Wilderness and Great Jing. No matter who wins or loses, the two dynasties will definitely suffer. If this dynasty were to go south at this time, how can Great Wilderness and Great Jing resist?”

Jiang Ziyu was silent.

Jiang Xiu asked, “Then what do you mean? For the sake of peace, we will not invade each other?”

Wang Shu replied, “Great Wilderness and Great Jing will join hands to attack the North!”
