Internal Strife in the Jing Dynasty, Beginning to Transcend Tribulation

1,021 people are now offering incense to him.

So few!

Jiang Changsheng mused inwardly. Despite surviving the lightning tribulation, the White Dragon's manifestation, and his reputation as a martial arts legend, the number of believers was growing slowly. The main reason was the poor communication in this world, relying on word of mouth, making it impossible to witness firsthand.

He wondered how much heavenly tribulation power this little incense could offset.

According to the novels and legends of immortals and gods that Jiang Changsheng had read in his previous life, tribulation was often fatal. Cultivation was a fight against the heavens, and most people died on the road.

Precisely because Jiang Changsheng had infinite lifespan, he had to be more careful. It would be a great loss to die in a heavenly tribulation.

He had to find a way to increase his incense value to be safe, since there were no strong enemies he couldn't resist for the time being.

It would be even worse if he were attacked during the tribulation, so he had to find a way to reduce the difficulty of the heavenly tribulation.

Jiang Changsheng began to think about how to flaunt... ahem, how to establish his image.

A few days later, Jiang Changsheng developed a batch of talismans and gave them to Meng Qiushuang, instructing her to have the disciples carry them when they traveled the world. If they encountered danger, they could use the talismans by channeling their true qi into them. Before use, they had to chant the incantation: "The world is in turmoil, but righteousness exists in the mortal realm. Changsheng Immortal Master is above, lend the power of heaven and earth to my body, to slay evil and eliminate demons."

Very chuuni, but that's how to fool uneducated mortals.

Jiang Changsheng stopped cultivating and instead focused on practicing the Taiqing Sword Technique.

A month later, the disciples of Dragon Arising Temple went down the mountain. This time, the team was led by Wan Li and Ming Yue, who had been cultivating with Jiang Changsheng since they were young. Although they were not Jiang Changsheng's disciples, Jiang Changsheng had never treated them poorly because he used them to practice the Illusory God Eyes. However, due to their limited aptitude, they were still only at the Spirit Sense Realm, which was considered a Peerless Expert in the ordinary martial world.

Don't think that recently more and more Heavenly Connection Realm experts have appeared in Jiang Changsheng's field of vision, it's just that he's standing higher and higher. Ordinary martial artists rarely encounter Heavenly Connection Realm experts, and even if they do, they won't notice unless the other party takes action.

Every disciple had Jiang Changsheng's talisman, which made them full of confidence. After all, Qing Ku had used it before, which amazed the disciples who were traveling with him at the time.

In addition to this matter, Eunuch Li from the palace would come to Jiang Changsheng every three months to ask for pills. Jiang Changsheng was not stingy or perfunctory, taking out the pills he had refined and trying his best to extend Jiang Yuan's life, buying time for Little Prince Wei Jiang Ziyu.

He secretly followed Eunuch Li, and Eunuch Li did not embezzle the pills. It seemed that he was truly loyal to Jiang Yuan.

This year passed quickly.

In the thirty-ninth year of Kaiyuan, Gu Han had not yet launched a war. The Can Province Governor, who was close to Gu Han in the north, launched a rebellion, beheading the court-appointed officials. In just one month, he unified Can Province, recruited troops on a large scale, and declared that the Great Jing Emperor was tyrannical and inhumane, and the people were suffering. He wanted to inherit the way of heaven, re-support the land of the Thirteen Provinces, and return the people to a peaceful and prosperous world.

The Great Jing Dynasty was completely shaken, and the world was in an uproar.

In the Golden Luan Hall, the Seventh Prince Jiang Yu was furious, scolding the Can Province Governor. The elderly and frail Jiang Yuan sat on the dragon chair in a daze. He suddenly felt a trace of fear in his heart, a fear that he had not felt even when he was defeated by Gu Han.

Could it be that the Great Jing Dynasty would perish in the second generation, or even in the first?

Jiang Yuan looked at Jiang Yu, who was scolding incessantly in the hall, and the civil and military officials who were bowing their heads. He suddenly felt that he could not just die like this. Jiang Yu did not have the art of an emperor, and the Three Departments and Six Ministries only submitted to him for the sake of the Crown Prince.

"Which of you generals will pacify Can Province?" Jiang Yu asked directly, without even asking for Jiang Yuan's opinion.

The generals bowed their heads one after another, and no one dared to answer.

Can Province was close to Gu Han, and whoever went would be attacked by both armies. This was a death sentence!

Jiang Yu's eyes swept towards the Chu People generals he had promoted, but they also bowed their heads, almost infuriating him.

"Pass on my decree, the troops of Shun Province and Hong Province shall all be under the command of Prince Qin. Prince Qin can recruit troops on his own. Within one year, he must quell the rebellion in Can Province!"

Jiang Yuan suddenly spoke. He spoke slowly, but with an irresistible domineering aura.

Although he was half buried in the ground, the prestige of Kaiyuan Great Emperor was still there. The Great Jing Emperor who swept across the Thirteen Provinces was still there.

Jiang Yu was moved, his expression unsightly.

Although he was already the Crown Prince, Jiang Yu had been like a god of war in recent years, resisting Gu Han. He was already the hope of all the people in the world. Once his merits became too great, his position as Crown Prince might not be stable, after all, Prince Qin was older than him!

Jiang Yuan spoke, and no one dared to refute, and even breathed a sigh of relief.

It was good to hand it over to Prince Qin Jiang Yu, this son was a reckless man and would definitely accept.

Compared to establishing meritorious achievements, the current civil and military officials were more afraid of dying.

Continuous green mountains, a small bridge over a flowing stream, a mountain area where an inn was located.

Qingxu Taoist Priest was sitting at the table, drinking tea, with a young Taoist priest next to him, who looked only a little over ten years old.

"Have you heard? Recently, Dragon Arising Temple disciples have been traveling the martial world, all holding Changsheng Immortal Master's talismans. Any one of them can display the lethality of a Peerless Expert."

"Indeed, I've heard. Changsheng Taoist Priest is really an immortal master. Anyway, I haven't heard of anyone else in the world who can develop such talisman paper."

"It is said that some sects have already gone to Jing City, wanting to purchase a large number of immortal master talismans."

"Changsheng Taoist Priest probably won't sell them, right? After all, Dragon Arising Temple is a Taoist temple designated by the emperor, enjoying the court's salary, and doesn't lack money at all."

Listening to the discussions of other martial world people, the young Taoist priest couldn't help but look at Qingxu Taoist Priest and asked in a low voice, "Master, is Changsheng Taoist Priest really your disciple?"

Qingxu Taoist Priest blew away the hot air from the teacup and said, "It's just a formality. His martial arts and talents were not taught by me. I once thought he had a master to guide him, but now it seems that perhaps he really relies on himself. His talent is too high, truly beyond what mortals can achieve, or even imagine."

The young Taoist priest seemed to understand, yet not quite, and asked, "Then is he really a reincarnation of an immortal god?"

Qingxu Taoist Priest said, "Perhaps, after you go to Dragon Arising Temple, use your own eyes to judge."

The young Taoist priest's face showed a look of anticipation.

Just then, dust rose in the distance, and a large number of cavalry galloped over. Leading them was Jiang Yu, wearing silver armor and a silver phoenix-winged crown. He was burly and handsome, holding the reins in his left hand and a Halberd in his right. From a distance, one could feel his domineering aura of 'who else but me'.

Now Jiang Yu was already the famous Prince Qin, the hope of the Great Jing Dynasty.

"That's Prince Qin's army. It looks like they're rushing to Can Province. Alas, the Emperor is really muddled. Why did he make the Seventh Prince the Crown Prince? Prince Qin was also born to the Empress, and after the Crown Prince's death, he should be the eldest son."

A chivalrous person said indignantly. His words were recognized by others. After the Seventh Prince supervised the country, he did not show any talent, and Great Jing was still getting worse.

Jiang Yu clearly had super strong martial arts, but he always stayed in Jing City, not daring to lead troops like Jiang Yu.

Year-end, another winter.

Under the Earth Spirit Tree, Chen Li excitedly talked about Jiang Yu's achievements. After recruiting soldiers for two months, Prince Qin personally conquered Can Province, proving to the world that Great Jing was still a true dragon dynasty. The Can Province Governor's army was no match for Prince Qin at all. Gu Han sent 200,000 troops to support, but they returned in defeat.

The former Martial Arts Supreme Zong Tianwu was unstoppable, broke into the Governor's mansion, and successfully beheaded the governor.

"I have to say, Zong Tianwu is really strong. Prince Qin has been able to repeatedly establish meritorious achievements, thanks to him. Martial arts experts will be exhausted and die once their true qi is exhausted, but Zong Tianwu is very smart. Every time he attacks, he goes for the enemy's leader, severely damaging the enemy's morale."

Chen Li sighed, Prince Qin and Zong Tianwu proved to the world that the martial world and the army can also be integrated.

Jiang Changsheng was also full of emotion, he did not expect that these two would get so close, thinking back to when they first met, they were not friendly.

This was also good, with Zong Tianwu around, the safety of Jiang Changsheng's biological younger brother could be guaranteed.

"Although Prince Qin is strong, Great Jing lacks a wise ruler."

Little Prince Wei, Jiang Ziyu, suddenly leaned over and said with a solemn expression.

If these words were to spread, he would surely be beheaded, but Chen Li was equally audacious. He and Jiang Ziyu were kindred spirits, and Chen Li felt like he was born at the wrong time.

Chen Li smiled and asked, "Your Highness Prince Wei, if you were the ruler, what would you do?"

Nearly ten years old, Jiang Ziyu said earnestly, "Gu Han is a desert land, lacking resources, far inferior to Great Jing. Now they have occupied many territories of Great Jing. Great Jing should not recuperate but make a desperate effort to defeat Gu Han. As long as Gu Han is defeated and frightened, the surrounding dynasties will not dare to invade."

"Royal Grandfather and Father underestimate the land of the Thirteen Provinces. We are the land of Shenzhou, with a rich population and countless resources. As long as the emperor expresses his determination, the world can naturally produce a million soldiers. Recruiting soldiers is not difficult now, but it has not reached its limit. The Jing Dynasty lacks a determination, a determination that can mobilize the common people."

Chen Li sighed, "Determination? It's not that easy. The people only care about their food and clothing, unless it comes to the point of national destruction..."

Jiang Ziyu put his hands on his hips and hummed, "So it depends on the ruler. The ruler's will is the will of the world. If the ruler is hesitant and wants everything, and is afraid of everything, the people will naturally be the same."

Chen Li thought it made sense and nodded.

Back then, when he first met Jiang Yuan, he was conquered by Jiang Yuan's domineering aura. At that time, Jiang Yuan seemed to have the whole world under his feet, and any dynasty could be taken down.

He turned to look at Jiang Changsheng and smiled, "Changsheng, you have taught Prince Wei so well. He has such great ambition at such a young age."

Jiang Changsheng smiled and asked, "When the Seventh Prince ascends the throne in the future, which of his descendants will your Chen Family support?"

Chen Li was stunned and frowned.

Jiang Ziyu waved his hand and said, "Naturally, it is to support me. My eldest brother is now going to the Martial Arts Holy Land to practice martial arts. When he comes back, he will not be suitable for court affairs and will only have martial arts. I am different. I not only practice martial arts, but also study court affairs."

His words not only applied to his eldest brother, but also to the current Crown Prince.

Ping An came over, excited, "Li Shimin! You are Li Shimin! I am Li Yuanba!"

Chen Li didn't know Li Shimin and Li Yuanba, but he did see hope in Jiang Ziyu. As long as he continues to grow at the current rate, Jiang Ziyu may not be able to become the next Jiang Yuan.

It's just that Jiang Ziyu is too young, and the future is uncertain. Since ancient times, many talented princes have fallen after growing up.

In the end, Chen Li did not give an answer, and Jiang Changsheng was not in a hurry, it was indeed too early.

That night, Jiang Changsheng checked his Incense value in the house.

[Current Incense Value: 2809]

Sure enough, it still depends on swindling and deceiving!

Jiang Changsheng thought happily, he decided he could start breaking through.

He stood up, left the house, flew with his sword, patrolled inside and outside Jing City, and confirmed that there were no experts, he would transcend the tribulation at Dragon Arising Temple tomorrow, and he could absorb a lot of Incense again.
