Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Pure Land Within

h.But it was no longer possible to save up. Under the ravages of ferocious beasts, the San Shan city region had entered a vicious cycle. And on Shubi Peak, new ferocious beasts were roaming...Time, it...Whenever Sen Eilong spoke, Jiang Wang would only half-listen, filtering out nine out of ten words. Of the one in ten he did hear, ten out of ten were met with skepticism.

This moment is no exception.

The Nine Sons of the Ancient Dragon Emperor, even in death, their corpses could be refined into the Eternal Nine Seals, to suppress the great river for eternity.

Ao Shu Yi being able to be compared with them is already a powerful testament!

What a low-born dragon descendant, just hearing it is enough.

Able to dominate a portion of the aquatic splitting, and acting as a foil to the former Dragon Emperor. Even if it's only in name, even if it's merely being pushed onto the stage by the former emperor Reizan, it is not something that ordinary people can accomplish.

This title, "Supreme Ruler of All Aquatic Creatures," is a puppet designation, not something anyone can have.

In the human-dominated present, cultivation is constantly innovating and the systems are continuously reformed. From the mythological era to the Immortal Palace era, from the One True era to the Flying Sword era… history has galloped through one stage after another. Within the human race, constant transformations have been taking place, but Ao Shu Yi remains the Eternal River Dragon King, with the title "The Lord of Water Remains Unchanged Even When Heaven Changes." How could someone achieve this by simply “crying the loudest and kneeling the fastest”

Though unconvinced, he remained calm and composed on the surface. Jiang Wang quietly channeled his starlight energy, awaiting further words from the ancient sea dragon.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Of course, he has some skill as well." Mori Eizuo said, "After all, those dazzling stars from the same era as him have gradually faded and fallen. Like Lord Qiuming and others, they were all eliminated, but Ao Shuyi is still alive and well. How can this not be a testament to his abilities"

“He always seems to make the right choices.” Jiang Wang said lightly, “History has proven this time and time again.”

"Morihei Ryu lowered his eyelids. 'I seem unable to refute.'"

"Continue." Jiang Wang said.

The venerable, majestic dragon, Mori Hai Long, was bound by iron chains within the cramped stone chamber. His imposing figure was dwarfed by his surroundings, appearing both tense and pitiful. His voice was low and commanding: "By bloodline alone, Ao Shu Yi is indeed a trueblood dragon, a pureblooded descendant of the royal lineage. His ancestry can even be traced back to Pan Gu, the ancient dragon emperor. But the descendants of the ancient dragon emperors are numerous, their lineages branching out endlessly. Ao Shu Yi is nothing special among them. Our dragon clan does not value lineage but emphasizes virtue and magical abilities. Just like Emperor Xi Hun during the medieval era had more than nine sons, it was merely those nine who were most outstanding and received recognition."

Based on Jiang Wang's current historical knowledge, both the prehistoric era and the ancient era are used to describe the period before the Shang Dynasty. They are just different names for that era used by humans and other races.

That was the longest of times, the beginning of which is unrecorded.

>

That was the most ignorant age, and even the demonic race had no records of the celestial court before ancient times.

As for the Taigu Dragon Emperor, his name is Panwu, and the Zhonggu Dragon Emperor's name is Xihun. This was the first time Jiang Wang had heard these names. Although he had supplemented a lot of historical knowledge, and even in the demon realm, he hadn't forgotten to bury himself in study and increase his knowledge, after all, both humans and demons had intentionally erased the existence of dragons, so it was difficult for him to know much about them.

>

But what puzzled him was — "Virtue"

Regardless of whether human history describes the greed and cruelty, or demon history records the betrayal and evil, or even this ancient dragon's "glorious deeds," it is hard to believe that the dragon clan values virtue over lineage.

Perhaps Sen-ei Ryū also felt his words lacked conviction, as he chuckled softly. "We have different understandings of virtue. Virtue is strength, and strength is virtue. Only the strong possess virtue."

As a human prodigy, you must have some understanding of the major schools of thought among humans. The Mohist Master once said: "What is the way of being virtuous Those who are strong should help people with all their might, those who are wealthy should share with others, and those who are knowledgeable should teach others. Provide food for the hungry, clothes for the cold, and governance for the chaotic..."

So you see, what can be done about helplessness What can be used to help others Helplessness without resources, wealth, or virtue is incapable of being considered virtuous!

I didn't expect this old dragon to read!

If the arrangement in the Senhaiyuan Realm is said to be what Jiang Wang felt about this old dragon's cunning and ruthlessness.

This citing of scriptures and examples served to make Jiang Wang feel the terror of facing the Dragon Clan as an opponent.

Regardless of how humans and demons have vilified dragons in historical records, they have never denied the power of dragons.

Once belonging to the demon race, the Dragon Clan was the strongest among them! Later, they led the Water Clan to become independent and vied for power with the Demon Race. After defeating the Celestial Court of the Demon Race, they were able to co-rule the mortal world with the Human Race. Afterward, the Water Clan split again, retreating to the East China Sea. They could still, in their form as sea creatures, become a major threat to the mortal world.

Even a dragon clan as ancient, powerful, and proud as this one could humble themselves and learn from humanity. They proactively sought to understand human knowledge—to be frank, the things the old dragon spoke of, regarding the Mohist school, were things Jiang Wang, that peerless prodigy among humans, had never read!

The ambition of the crouching dragon is not confined to the depths.

Dragons can lower themselves to such a position naturally because they have ambitions to ascend to even greater heights.

"It seems like we've never really had a proper conversation, have we" Jiang Wang sat cross-legged at the bottom of Xinglou, starlight flowing around him like water, radiating an air of composure. "Compared to Changhe Dragon Lord, I'm more curious now about your identity within the dragon clan. What is your relationship with Changhe Dragon Lord"

When Sen Hai Long was imprisoned in the basement of the Star Tower, it was still the year 3919 according to the Dao calendar... Jiang Wang had just removed his title as Head of the Yellow River, and before Qi Tianjiao won the War of Xingyue Yuan.

From a peerless prodigy who debuted with dazzling brilliance, to a young military commander of unparalleled fame and authority, and then to the solitary master of Baiyu Jing who shed all worldly attachments... it feels like a process of stripping away the superficial to reveal the true essence.

> It's terrifying! This rate of ascension, even in the brilliant era he described, with countless stars and the key event of the Human Emperor surpassing the Dragon Emperor, it would still be dazzling and never go unnoticed.

"Yeah, we've lived together for so long, even a dog would have feelings after that..." Morihachi hurried to deepen the connection, spoke out and then felt it was inappropriate. He muttered to himself, trying his best to sound natural: "We know each other well, but we haven't really talked heart to heart. Are you curious about my past, young friend"

“Yes, I’m a little curious about my tenants.” Jiang Wang smiled softly.

"My story is a long one," Morie Elder Dragon's voice was deep and slow, which made him seem sincere: "If you really want to know, I am a descendant of the ancient dragon emperor Yuanhong. My lineage is noble, born extraordinary. Of course, just like Ao Shuyi, there are too many dragon descendants who can boast about their bloodline, and I don't get anything special from it."

“And when I was born, the Dragon Clan had already retreated to the East Sea and had grown accustomed to it. I didn't get to experience the Dragon Clan's glory at all, only the endless responsibility of the Dragon Clan in the East Sea... Of course, I am always willing to bear it.”

"In the face of disaster, I fearlessly charge forward, protecting the weak is my duty. I shatter world-ending thunderbolts and suppress the Everdark Vortex, safeguarding all oceans. I develop sea beasts, enhancing the combat potential of our clan. I research and share spells freely, strengthening our collective power... A being like me should ascend to become the Sovereign Emperor, attaining the revered position of Dragon Lord!"

His voice, which had gradually grown impassioned, suddenly fell to a whisper: "Alas, the towering tree attracts the wind's destruction. A brilliant talent like mine is inevitably envied. There are treacherous villains who envy me, lurking for many years, plotting and scheming, causing me to lose my position and bear false accusations! I was forced to flee across the vast sea and wander the universe..."

When Morihachi Ryū said this, Jiang Wang didn't believe a single word.

Although he knew little about the sea tribe.

But 'shattering the world-ending thunderclap, suppressing the eternal abyss vortex, protecting all seas', sounds like something Gaojie would do. 'Developing sea beasts, enhancing clan war potential, researching and sharing spells freely, strengthening clan power', sounds more like something Fuhai would do...

Could Masamune really do all this, and yet not become the Emperor for so many years Would he run off to the Forest Sea Realm to act tyrannical

The only truth in this statement might be that he 'had to flee from the East China Sea and exile himself throughout the universe'…

Jiang Wang asked, "Who is that traitor"

The old man Morihei sighed, "You should also know that this thief's name is 'Taiyong'."

He gritted his teeth again: "That should have been my name!"

>

The Tai Yong Holy Master of Longpan Tianfo Temple!

Jiang Wang is more than just acquaintance.

Simply impressive!

No need to say anything else, just that one sentence "Today, the Heaven-Buddha Temple is stained with blood, and I, Tai Yong, will end myself," even standing on an opposing side, you have to admire his courage.

Facing the onslaught of the human army, Tai Yong willingly sacrificed himself, using his dragon blood to nourish the Dragon Domain and buy time for Tianfo Temple. Isn't this kind of devotion more reliable than that of Sen Lao Long

Jiang Wang said calmly, "What crime did he use to frame you"

"To say that I stole the treasures of the Heavenly Buddha is utterly preposterous! I don't even believe in Buddhism, so what use would I have for their treasures I might as well steal the Dragon Emperor's secret treasures! Ahem, I mean, I've lived an honest life, always upright and virtuous. Why would I stoop to becoming a thief"

>

It seems this fellow really did steal the celestial Buddha's treasure...

But this celestial artifact, due to some reason, was sealed away. Perhaps the power of the ancient sea dragon hasn't fully recovered yet This could be why it didn't play a role in the battle between Guan Yan and Xing Jun

Jiang Wang quickly remembered that he had once pressed Yan Xiao for details about the ancient sea dragon.

The sparrowhawk wept and cried, saying many things, among which were several key points.

First, the Sea Dragon's arrival at the Origin Boundary of the Sea was uncontrollable. It crashed directly into the boundary, leaving a huge canyon there to this day. It is clear that it was being chased by a powerful enemy and was in a state of fleeing for its life.

Second, Morihaideron at that time was in a very bad state, hiding in an ancient tree and sleeping for many years before waking up. He slowly recovered by gathering the faith of the creatures from the Source Realm until he completed his invasion of the Morihai Source Realm.

Third, the ancient dragon Senryuu hides treasures in the world's cracks!

The first two match up with the story of Senninheiryu fleeing from the Sea of Chaos and wandering through the cosmos. The third one matches with the story of Senninheiryu stealing the Heavenly Buddha's artifact!

Tianyofo was a great being who dared to challenge the Buddha himself. His remaining Sālpārī staff could stand toe-to-toe with the Azure Sky Sword!

The value of these relics left behind by this existence is immeasurable.

At the time, Yan Xiao said that it knew the exact location of the old dragon's treasure, most likely hidden by the ancient sea dragon when it was fleeing pursuit. It would have to wait until after taking the Yu Heng before setting out again. Unfortunately, Jiang Wang didn't believe Yan Xiao at first, and later, eager to ascend to heaven to help Guan Yan's predecessor compete for the Yu Heng, he missed the opportunity to investigate further. In the end, Yan Xiao was directly swallowed by the ancient sea dragon, leaving no chance to delve deeper.

>

This old dragon had previously invited me many times to a certain place to learn the secrets of the cave, could it be that he was using the power of that treasure to escape It might be good to tell Elder Guan Yan and have him search the world seams of the Sen Hai Yuan Realm...Jiang Wang thought to himself, but only said aloud: "Stealing a Heavenly Buddha artifact…that's indeed quite absurd. How could other sea races believe such a charge"

>

Morihachirou sighed, "It's all my fault for being too honest and straightforward. I offended too many powerful factions. That Taiyong is good at putting on a show and deceiving many strong individuals into trusting him. I suspect he stole the Heavenly Buddha Artifact himself, but framed me... When they attacked, I didn't even have a chance to explain!"

His voice became filled with pain, even his dragon eyes squeezed out a little turbidity of tears: “From the day I escaped from the East China Sea, I told myself that I would no longer be a good man. I’d rather betray the world than let the world betray me again! That's why I became who you saw later!”

This defense angle is quite profound!

Lao Long is a man who understands people.

All of the evil deeds he committed in the Sea of Origin simply have no excuse.

Instead, let's explore the question of "why is the dragon evil"

A demon with a tragic past and a benevolent history is always more likely to evoke sympathy and understanding—it's the environment that made him this way, his nature isn't inherently evil.

"I am deeply impressed," Jiang Wang said, "You fled the universe for this reason That must have been incredibly difficult."

“Those of us who refuse to conform to the ways of the world will always suffer more. In this dark world, purity is a mistake.” Lao Long sighed sadly, “I can no longer keep the purity in my heart, I have completely given up on myself, and fallen into decay, becoming the very existence I once hated most. But luckily, there are still people like you in this world, walking with clean hands, reminding me of the light I once yearned for.”

Jiang Wang silently recited in his heart, "I'm not clean, I'm not clean," to resist the flattery offensive of the ancient dragon. "To say that someone who keeps their inner world pure and always clean is a rare thing, I definitely don't qualify. But Guanyan senior definitely does."

"Of course." Morihachirō expressed his agreement firmly: "Yuheng Xingjun is an existence like a holy Buddha, so compassionate and great. Thanks to him, I was able to avoid making a grave mistake and pulling myself back from the brink! That's how our fate brought us together. These three years, I've been deeply touched. In you, I found what I had lost, remembering my younger self. My heart is truly moved..."

Jiang Wang was about to lose it. How could this old dragon say such disgusting things

"It's never too late to mend a broken fence," he casually replied, making an effort to steer the conversation back to its original topic. "Speaking of which, since you were born after the Dragon Clan retreated to the East Sea and yet know Lord Longhe Dragon so well..."

"Who among the Sea Clan would forget him" Mori Haizhong said thoughtfully, "Shall we talk about Ao Shuyi instead"

Jiang Wangdao: "I'm all ears."

Mori Eirō tilted his head slightly, like a kindly elder, recounting his distant experiences under the dim light of a night long past, to a young man: “Since today is a time for open and honest conversation, I'll share a story that has been hidden in my heart. Would you mind telling me first why you are so curious about Ao Shu Yi, such a crippled dog from the Broken Ridge River”

Jiang Wang said casually, "Oh, I just received an invitation from Chang He Dragon King, inviting me to attend his Dragon Palace feast."

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

"A Dragon Palace Feast!" Morihei Ryū was taken aback. "It's open again"

Jiang Wang nodded slightly. "The invitation said so, it shouldn't be wrong, should it"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Morihachirou, the dragon elder, wanted to retort that Aohe Dog had no right to represent the Dragon Clan or host a Dragon Palace banquet. But as he opened his mouth, he simply asked, "Do you intend to attend"

"Why not" Jiang Wang said with a faint smile, "This banquet gathers the best talents from all over the world, it displays rare and exotic treasures, and it's called 'The First Banquet in the World'. It would be good for me to go and broaden my horizons."

"As for that Lord Shui Jun, I'm not actually very clear about his affairs. After all, the time he was active is far too long ago. There are always some vicious rumors about him circulating in the sea, but I don't really believe them myself. Rumors They can't be taken as true! Being slandered like this... I understand the pain it causes." The old Sea Dragon shifted uncomfortably, shaking his dragon claw and causing the chains to clang. "Are you truly going"
