Martial Arts World Invasion, Unfathomable Sect Master

"The world is so big, how much do you really know? Outside of Great Jing, how vast is it? Who can say for sure?"

Jiang Changsheng said with a faint smile, his words causing Wang Chen to nod, finding them reasonable.

Since ancient times, no one has known how big the world truly is. Rumor has it that Gu Han faces not only Great Jing, but also another dynasty on the other side. Great Jing is fortunate in that it borders the sea to the south, and is not surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Jiang Changsheng called the little Prince Wei over to him and began to impart martial arts.

Wan Li, Ming Yue, and Ping An went to the side to spar. Although Ping An was mentally challenged, he was naturally combative. Seeing them take their stances, he became excited and charged straight at them.

In these past two years, Jiang Changsheng had successfully created an internal energy cultivation method. He named it Universe Heaven Scripture, modeled after the first three layers of Dao Follows Nature Skill, transforming it into seven layers. Although it was not as good as Dao Follows Nature Skill, it was by no means comparable to ordinary cultivation methods.

Currently, Wang Chen, little Prince Wei, and Hua Jian Xin were all practicing Universe Heaven Scripture.

Ping An was cultivating Mystic Inner Overlord Body, but teaching Ping An was much more difficult than teaching little Prince Wei.

Fallen leaves fluttered down.

On a distant rooftop, a White-Clothed figure stood quietly, gazing at the sky, a scene of serene beauty.

In the thirty-fourth year of Kaiyuan, Gu Han launched a large-scale invasion of Great Jing, and other surrounding dynasties also began to stir, plunging Great Jing into its greatest crisis in thirty years.

Crown Prince Jiang Yu had no choice but to go to the front lines, while the emperor remained in Jing City, but he attended court less and less frequently. He became increasingly weak, and the court was filled with unrest.

The Great Jing empire was teetering on the brink, but the martial world was flourishing. Without the restrictions of local governments, the martial world became even more unbridled, with various influential figures emerging and geniuses appearing like clouds.

On this day,

Dragon Arising Temple welcomed a guest.

This person was disheveled, his robes torn, and his whole body was filthy, like an Old Beggar.

The disciple guarding the mountain gate did not despise him, but instead led him into the temple and gave him something to eat.

The Old Beggar grabbed his hand and asked, "Is Changsheng Taoist Priest still here?"

The disciple smiled and said, "You want to see Changsheng Taoist Priest too? Forget it. Many powerful people want to talk to the Taoist Priest, but they have all been politely refused. The Taoist Priest is busy cultivating and has no time to bother with the mortal world. If you have come from afar, you might as well see White Dragon. That is our Dragon Arising Temple's spirit beast. Seeing it once can change your life's fortune."

The Old Beggar brushed aside his hair, revealing a face full of scars, which was extremely frightening, making the disciple feel uneasy.

"Help me pass a message to him, just say that Li Changqing has come to visit," the Old Beggar said in a trembling voice.

"Li Changqing?"

The disciple frowned, muttering to himself. He suddenly thought of something, his face changed drastically, and he quickly said, "Okay, I'll go tell the Taoist Priest right away."

After he left, the Old Beggar walked out of the kitchen and into the courtyard, looking at the nearby buildings, his eyes filled with nostalgia.

After a stick of incense's time, the disciple returned, leading Li Changqing to the Taoist Priest's courtyard.

Along the way, Li Changqing looked around, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar.

Dragon Arising Temple had become lively, and there were more disciples, but there were fewer familiar faces.

Without a word, the two arrived at Jiang Changsheng's courtyard. The disciple bowed to the courtyard and then left.

Li Changqing took a deep breath and cautiously walked into the courtyard. He saw two children and an ugly Taoist sweeping the courtyard, while his junior brother Jiang Changsheng was sitting under a tree, his aura in harmony with the heavens and earth, making him completely undetectable.

Seeing Jiang Changsheng, Li Changqing was in a daze.

When he left that year, Jiang Changsheng was not yet an adult. So many years had passed, yet he recognized him at a glance. However, he didn't expect Jiang Changsheng to still be so young. By calculation, this junior brother should be thirty-four years old.

Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and smiled, "Eldest Brother, long time no see. Why don't you come over and sit down? Wang Chen, make tea."

Hearing this, Wang Chen immediately walked towards the house.

Little Prince Wei was practicing his skills, only glancing at Li Changqing. Ping An was lying in the small pond, soaking in medicinal water specially prepared for him by Jiang Changsheng, which could temper his body.

Li Changqing came back to his senses, walked to Jiang Changsheng, and sat down on the spot.

"After so many years, it's fortunate that Dragon Arising Temple has you."

Li Changqing said with emotion. He had always felt that this junior brother was very mysterious, but unfortunately, he left Dragon Arising Temple very early and did not witness his junior brother's growth.

Jiang Changsheng began to exchange greetings with him. Seeing him again, Jiang Changsheng's heart was also full of emotion.

The once handsome and magnanimous Eldest Brother had now fallen into such a state.

He could feel that Li Changqing was already a Heavenly Connection Realm expert, but his true qi was chaotic, and his internal organs had suffered severe damage. He had only a few days left to live.

Li Changqing only reminisced with Jiang Changsheng about their experiences together when they were young, and did not mention himself too much. Jiang Changsheng did not ask either, after all, Chen Li had also mentioned it to him before.

After chatting for an hour, Li Changqing coughed, actually coughing up blood.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Junior Brother, Changsheng Taoist Priest, I have returned this time to be buried in Dragon Arising Temple. Can you give me a home?"

His voice was very weak and feeble.

Jiang Changsheng said, "Of course. Wang Chen, take Senior Brother Li to find Eldest Sister and let Eldest Sister arrange it. Just say that I have agreed."

Wang Chen next to him immediately walked over, and Li Changqing followed and got up.

Watching the backs of the two leaving, Jiang Changsheng felt fortunate in his heart.

Fortunately, I didn't go down the mountain. Fortunately, I wasn't obsessed with love.

Jiang Changsheng naturally also liked women, but he knew what was important. Before he was absolutely invincible, he didn't want to create weaknesses for himself. His relationship with Hua Jianxin was not revealed, only they knew.

He didn't plan to save Li Changqing. Li Changqing had become a demon for love and killed too many people. Saving him would only add trouble, and their relationship was not that deep.

When Meng Qiushuang saw Li Changqing, she was naturally excited. The senior and junior siblings chatted for a long time. Once upon a time, Meng Qiushuang also had a trace of love for Li Changqing. After all, in the Taoist temple, Li Changqing was the eldest disciple and took care of his junior brothers and sisters. However, this trace of love had been diluted by the years.

Five days later, Li Changqing died in the early morning. Jiang Changsheng, Meng Qiushuang, and some old disciples buried him. The matter was not made public.

But in the following days, Jiang Changsheng noticed that warriors were sneaking into the mountain, searching everywhere, but they did not do evil and quietly left.

The other party stayed in front of Li Changqing's tombstone for a while, probably an enemy.

Jiang Changsheng did not interfere in their grievances. Li Changqing was dead, and the grievances should be settled. If the other party was obsessed and insisted on finding fault with Dragon Arising Temple, then that was good, he would give him a survival reward.

Half a month later.

Chen Li, who was already a fourth-rank official, came. After the Chen family joined the Seventh Prince, they were promoted by the Seventh Prince. Chen Li, who had been frustrated, finally made it to the top. Chen Li was currently working in the Ministry of Revenue and already had his own mansion, so he didn't have to squeeze into the Chen family.

"Changsheng, you let Li Changqing be buried on the mountain? This is terrible. A large number of martial artists are gathering outside Jing City. All major sects are there. A disciple of my Chen family is among them, saying they want to dig up Li Changqing's grave."

Chen Li said worriedly, with a look of concern.

Prince Wei is not here today. Wang Chen is taking Ping An for a stroll on the mountain. Only the two of them are in the courtyard.

Chen Li continued, "Now that Seventh Prince has gathered a large army to go to the battlefield, the soldiers inside and outside Jing City do not exceed one hundred thousand. If there are too many martial artists, they might not be able to stop them, and the imperial court will force you to bow your head."

Jiang Changsheng said, "The people are already dead, what's the point of digging up graves?"

Chen Li said, "Indeed, they must have other purposes, but they have a reason for revenge, so it's not easy to drive them away in terms of morality, and besides, the current Great Jing..."

Jiang Changsheng had also seen a large number of martial artists gathering outside the city during this period, but he didn't care because they were all very weak.

Jiang Changsheng asked, "Will Jing City open its gates and let them besiege Dragon Arising Mountain?"

Chen Li pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say, it's not impossible. After all, most of these sects have established ties with court officials. With Seventh Prince not here, and Fourth Prince not here either, and His Majesty recently confined in the palace to recuperate, I'm afraid there's no one to protect Dragon Arising Temple."

Jiang Changsheng said, "I understand."

Chen Li followed up, "If you want to evacuate, my Chen family can arrange it."

Jiang Changsheng shook his head and chuckled, "Brother Chen, although I don't like to fight, I won't be merciful if others dare to attack my doorstep."

Chen Li thought of Ghost Eye Evil King and suddenly realized that Jiang Changsheng had also killed people, and wasn't as gentle as he seemed. After so many years of getting along, he had almost forgotten this point.

He gave a few more instructions before leaving. He had been busy with affairs recently, and it was already not easy for him to come in person.

Jiang Changsheng looked towards the horizon, but did not get up.

Not enough people.

Come on, the survival reward will be more generous.

Jiang Changsheng cultivates every day, and occasionally takes Spirit Enhancing Pills. His cultivation is higher year by year. Even if these sects can gather a hundred Heavenly Connection Realm experts, he won't take them seriously.

Over the years, Seventh Prince and Great Vehicle Dragon Tower have not come to test him, indicating that they have not suspected Dragon Arising Temple at all, and may not even know that Jiang Changsheng is the enemy.

On the surface, Jiang Changsheng is Prince Wei's master, and can be considered Seventh Prince's man.

That night.

Someone came up the mountain again. This time, the other party went directly to Jiang Changsheng's courtyard. Jiang Changsheng did not stop him because it was an old acquaintance.

The windowsill was knocked, and a voice came in, "Is the Taoist Priest there? It's me, Devil Master."

His voice was very small, for fear of being heard by Wang Chen and Ping An in the next room.

Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes. The window suddenly opened, startling Devil Master. Seeing Jiang Changsheng in the room, he immediately jumped in and bowed to Jiang Changsheng.

"Taoist Priest, something bad is about to happen. The martial arts world wants to take White Dragon in the name of Li Changqing."

Devil Master said in a deep voice, "According to my understanding, the one leading behind the scenes is the Returning Origin Divine Sect Master. White Dragon's spirituality has become famous all over the world. That sect master has been searching for spiritual beasts for years, sucking their spiritual blood to temper his muscles and bones. His power is unfathomable. I have met him before, and he is very terrifying. I even think he is stronger than Punishment Head and that Heavenly Connection expert in the palace."

When Jiang Changsheng heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

So the other party is aiming for White Dragon. Even without Li Changqing, they could probably find a reason, such as Li Changqing being cultivated by Dragon Arising Temple, and Dragon Arising Temple must pay for its blood debt?

Jiang Changsheng had long heard of the Returning Origin Divine Sect Master's demeanor, the former young genius, now a martial arts giant, who is expected to compete for the throne of Martial Arts Supreme.

"Has he already come?" Jiang Changsheng asked.

Devil Master said, "Not yet, at most ten days, and they have already bribed many civil and military officials. When the time comes, the city gate will be opened to let them into the city, with the goal of directly targeting Dragon Arising Temple."

Three minutes late, but better late than never!
