The Imperial City showcases the grandeur of a powerful nation. It is ancient and magnificent, with a history even longer than that of the Great Li Kingdom. It is also the ancient capital of an old dynasty, having changed hands several times.
Ancient records state that it was originally the dojo of a Great Being who traveled in spirit. That powerful being moved mountains and earth to create a special terrain here, making this place extremely extraordinary. It is a resource-rich area that is larger than Dangerous Land, and there are three such areas around the Imperial City.
Therefore, the Imperial City can be considered the most outstanding place in the entire Great Li, with countless powerful people. Throwing a stone on the street could very well expose a Sixth Grade or even Fifth Rank Martial Artist.
Jiang Ping stood in the sky, gazing at the bustling city, where people came and went, shoulder to shoulder. This was his first time visiting the Imperial City.
Then, without lingering, he and Chen Qingyan were taken by Jiang Saint to a mansion in the city center that occupied a vast area.
"Teacher Xie and I will go to the Martial Saint Changchun; someone will arrange accommodations for you."
Jiang Siqi dropped the couple off at the mansion and then hurriedly left.
Jiang Ping stood on the lawn, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings.
This mansion is very large, and every plant and tree is exquisitely crafted, with an incredibly rich Essence of All Things.
"I feel that I can progress faster by cultivating here."
Jiang Ping gazed at the Auspicious Colors clouds gathering in the sky.
The Martial Saint's Mansion is no ordinary place; its unique location allows it to gather a vast amount of the Essence of All Things.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a localized downpour began, and the two arrived at a small lake not far away, watching the blue raindrops fall into the lake.
"This is Heavenly Water Essence," Chen Qingyan said. As Water Sacred Body, she was very familiar with this kind of essence.
"The Celestial Resources that Martial Academy students fight tooth and nail to obtain, even a well-sized Essence Pool is considered an incredible stroke of luck. Here, there is a lake."
Jiang Ping touched the lake water with his hand and felt it was icy cold.
This kind of vital energy, capable of harming Fifth Rank, no longer poses a threat to him.
Who is here?
A soft shout rang out, and Jiang Ping turned around to see a group of boys and girls around fifteen or sixteen years old.
"They are all descendants of Jiang Saint, and at the very least, they are all First-rate Genius."
Jiang Ping raised an eyebrow. So this is the foundation of a saintly Lineage? A powerful bloodline that can guarantee a continuous stream of geniuses.
"Who are you?" The group of teenagers looked at Jiang Ping and his companion with hostility. They were quite extraordinary, around sixteen or seventeen years old, with the lowest being at the Eighth Grade Realm and the strongest at the Seventh Rank, having already cultivated their Golden Skin.
Jiang Ping was moved. He looked at Chen Qingyan beside him and whispered, "Will our children, as they continue to multiply, also have such a dazzling lineage?"
His wife didn't reply, and just rolled her eyes at him.
Boom!
A powerful force pressed down, and Jiang Ping's expression changed slightly. He saw a young man appear in mid-air, his eyes somewhat gloomy.
Sulfuric acid!
Jiang Ping raised his hand, and a burst of fire spread out, carrying the Different Force the Golden Core cultivator, like Heavenly Fire, instantly turning half the sky red.
The group of teenagers were stunned, their balance shattered by the strong wind, and the temperature suddenly soared.
The young man in mid-air changed his expression and immediately unleashed his strongest power. He used his fists to unleash a great Supernatural power, condensing a giant with the Different Force his Golden Core. Light rain flowed around his body, making him look like a god.
"That's the famous divine Supernatural power of Uncle Jiang Jun. He relied on it to defeat Golden Core Fifth Turn expert from the National Academy, even though he was a minor realm higher!" an eighteen-year-old boy exclaimed.
Jiang Jun is the most outstanding genius of the Jiang Family in this generation. His innate talent and comprehension are both Super First-rate, and he has few rivals among his Peers.
Click!
As a result, to the astonishment of the boys, the god-like giant instantly cracked and was torn apart by the flames.
"The mighty force of Heavenly Fire."
Jiang Jun's pupils shrank sharply in mid-air. He knew that the person below him, with his extraordinary Martial Bone, had already mastered the dual techniques of Water and Fire.
But he didn't expect that his opponent had also fully grasped the Heavenly Fire Mystic Skill. How many years had his opponent been practicing this Mystic Skill?
"No wonder those Half-Saint were willing to risk their lives to kill him," Jiang Jun murmured.
The next moment, his expression changed slightly, because the overwhelming force was sweeping in, his clothes were disappearing, and he was about to become naked when a power suddenly enveloped him.
"Disgraceful! Get down there and apologize!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Jun was brought to Jiang Ping by this force.
At the same time, a middle-aged man appeared before the couple.
"I'm sorry to have startled you two." The middle-aged man said with goodwill, but then used his power to force Jiang Jun to bow his head and apologize.
"This child was raised by Elder Xie and they have a deep bond. When he learned that Senior Xie was injured and didn't have much time left, he blamed you for it."
The middle-aged man explained the reason to Jiang Ping.
"It's alright." Jiang Ping waved his hand. The other party didn't show any Killing intent. They probably wanted to vent their anger on him, but unfortunately, they picked the wrong person. If the middle-aged man hadn't appeared, the other party would definitely have run away naked and might have become even more famous than him.
"Let's go, I'll take you two to my father's temple."
The middle-aged man led the two away.
Jiang Ping only then realized that this middle-aged man was actually Jiang Yuan, the child born after Jiang Sheng became a saint and the current head of the Jiang family. He possessed the strongest saintly bloodline and a saintly body similar to Zheng Yao and Lu Chenfeng.
However, it seems he did not Becoming a Saint.
Jiang Yuan seemed to see through Jiang Ping's doubts and laughed, "Becoming a Saint is not as simple as you imagine. When I took the second step, I almost died in a furnace explosion, and the Saint Tribulation is even more dangerous."
In everyday life, when praising a genius, people like to say that the other person has the potential to become Becoming a Saint, or that they might become a saint.
But very few people actually manage to take that step.
In fact, throughout history, among the many Saint's Descendant, those who truly Becoming a Saint are extremely rare.
In contemporary times, in the Great Li, only three or four people are predicted by sages to have a high probability of Becoming a Saint, such as the Da Li Twin Stars and Jiang Ping.
Chen Qingyan was somewhat strained; it all depended on luck, and the key was whether she could survive the Saint Tribulation.
As for the other powerful geniuses, it's a 50/50 split.
Not long after.
The two were led into a very spacious Grand Courtyard, no smaller than Chen Qingyan's mansion, and even more suitable for cultivation, where the Essence of All Things was extremely rich.
"Apart from my father's palace, you two are free to visit any other place. The Imperial City is safe; there will be no more assassinations. You can travel at any time."
Jiang Yuan exchanged a few words with the two men, then took his leave.
After Jiang Ping and Chen Qingyan familiarized themselves with the facilities of the Grand Courtyard, they each immersed themselves in their cultivation.
Although this place is safe, Jiang Ping still wants to improve his strength as soon as possible, and at the same time, he wants to broaden the concept of Changshi Fist.
That evening.
Jiang Saint and Xie Wuji returned to their residence, Jiang Ping went to see the two seniors to inquire about the situation.
"There's nothing more we can do. The Martial Saint Changchun has tried to prolong Teacher Xie's life multiple times, but the effect is minimal. He can only prevent the old injuries from flaring up again. The old man won't live more than six months."
Jiang Saint sighed softly.
Xie Wuji had protected him since he was young, and later protected his children and his outstanding descendants. Their relationship was exceptionally deep.
"Less than six months?"
Jiang Ping looked at the extremely weak old man with a solemn expression.
