Yang Jian Becomes a Saint, and I, His Master, Keep a Low Profile

The capital of Great Shang! Chaoge!

The officers and soldiers present were all stunned. That was beneath the feet of the royal clan, a place of immense power and authority.

No one who could hold office in Chaoge was ordinary. Even common folk who came out of Chaoge carried themselves as though they stood a head taller than others.

And the one extending the invitation was none other than Great Shang's current Young Master, the future sovereign, Di Xin. In other words, Li Jing had caught the eye of the future emperor.

Not only the soldiers, but even Li Jing himself was dumbfounded.

Who among those who threw themselves onto the battlefield did not harbor grand ambitions?

Yet he had always been nothing more than a city-defending general. Li Jing truly found that hard to accept.

But Chentang Pass was a peaceful place. The royal clan had never paid much attention to it, which was why he had never been given an important position.

Going to Chaoge had always been Li Jing's desire. He had never expected Di Xin to bring it up today.

"What? You're unwilling?"

Di Xin looked at Li Jing. He was at a time when he needed capable people, and Li Jing was indeed a great talent. He did not wish to give him up.

"Ah! This general is willing!"

Li Jing immediately came back to his senses and promptly saluted. "This general shall obey the Young Master's orders."

Li Jing knew Di Xin's age well. At most, Di Xin was only a little over twenty.

At such an age, he already possessed methods capable of killing a Mystical Immortal. Such a ruler was undoubtedly a formidable hero with great ambition, one capable of establishing an immortal legacy.

Li Jing knew that perhaps he could not change the world, but following someone who could change it was no bad thing either.

Seeing Li Jing agree, Di Xin chuckled. "Very good! At your age, you surely have family at home. You may return and settle them first. If they wish to go with you to Chaoge, they will be more than welcome."

Joy appeared on Li Jing's face. He did indeed have a wife and a son at home.

Though going to Chaoge was for the sake of making achievements and establishing his career, he was unwilling to be separated from his family.

"This general is deeply grateful for the Young Master's considerate grace."

Di Xin waved a hand. "There is no need for so much formality between us from now on. I still have matters to attend to, so I will not wait to travel with you. Li Jing, I will await you in Chaoge."

Then his figure shifted, and before his words had even faded, he had vanished from everyone's sight.

Such formidable strength—I did not sense a thing!

Li Jing was greatly astonished, but then he broke into a smile. With such an enlightened ruler, I, Li Jing, shall surely follow him unto death.

Li Jing understood that only by following such a sovereign could he better display his own worth.

Within Changsheng Palace, Chen Changsheng opened his eyes and could not help letting out a soft sound of surprise.

"Strange. The Human Emperor's Aura around my second disciple has actually strengthened by several degrees. Could it be that he has gained the support of some notable figure? Could it be another Investiture of the Gods General?"

Chen Changsheng could only sense the condition of Yang Jian and Di Xin; he could not know what had happened.

After failing to reach an answer, Chen Changsheng stretched lazily. "Why bother thinking so much? The better the two of them do, the faster I can improve. It is just that they have both left now. I wonder when my next disciple will arrive!"

Chapter 24: Has a Great Powerhouse Broken into Changsheng Palace?

Mount Buzhou had been the pillar supporting heaven and earth in ancient times. Legend had it that Mount Buzhou reached straight into the skies, its very existence a colossal miracle between heaven and earth.

Yet during the Witch-Demon War of old, Mount Buzhou had been shattered by a collision, losing the glory it once possessed.

At that moment, not far from Mount Buzhou, a Three-Headed Flood Dragon was rapidly approaching.

"Master, Mount Buzhou lies just ahead!"

The Three-Headed Flood Dragon had now settled fully into his role. And seated atop his head was none other than Yang Jian.

Yang Jian nodded. "Good. Keep drawing closer. Mount Buzhou is a divine mountain. Even shattered, I believe its wonders will not have ended."

The primordial world was unimaginably vast, yet Yang Jian had heard of Mount Buzhou's fame many times in his childhood.

That great war of old had been turned into stories by countless storytellers, and the battle of Mount Buzhou had always been Yang Jian's favorite part.

This time, he had no concrete destination for his journey of experience, but Mount Buzhou had always been a place he yearned for in his heart. Naturally, he had come to see it for himself.

The Three-Headed Flood Dragon nodded. He too belonged to the Demon Race. The Witch-Demon War of old could be said to have been the greatest turning point for both the witch and demon races.

Because of that war, both races had declined, unable to reproduce their former glory.

As the Three-Headed Flood Dragon continued to draw near, the astonishment in Yang Jian's heart grew stronger.

"So that is Mount Buzhou?"

From afar, Yang Jian saw the towering mountain piercing the clouds, and excitement rose on his face.

Though it had already been shattered, the aura emanating from Mount Buzhou remained immensely powerful.

Yang Jian's cultivation had improved, but strictly speaking, he was only at the Golden Immortal realm.

In the past, even Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals had to feel reverence upon arriving at Mount Buzhou.

"Master, Mount Buzhou's aura is unusual. Flying consumes Spiritual Energy at an extreme rate. I fear we will not be able to proceed through the air."

The Three-Headed Flood Dragon spoke softly. Although he possessed a Dragon Form, he was still Yang Jian's magical treasure.

By saying this, he was also telling Yang Jian that flying within Mount Buzhou would consume an enormous amount of Spiritual Energy.
