When Good Things Come to Your Door, You Still Have to Take Them

As Jiang Tong was speaking, he suddenly changed the subject as if he had thought of something.

"You just asked why these outsiders are so strong. The reason is actually quite simple."

"Although this Land of Contemplation can repeat itself continuously, some things cannot be repeated simply by the Power of Time. On the contrary, in the repeated cycles, the Land of Contemplation that supported a person to become Emperor Realm in that space has long since disappeared."

"To the outside world, these are commonplace things, generally not worthy of special attention or memory. However, for many places lacking these powers, this power can be called the Emperor Source."

"Are you missing something again?"

Hearing these words, Lu Changzhi's expression became somewhat strange.

"This feels like a nesting doll."

Matryoshka dolls?

Jiang Tong looked thoughtful, and after a moment's thought, he spoke.

Is it a feeling of repeatedly missing something?

Lu Changzhi nodded.

"That's roughly the feeling."

"That's actually quite normal."

Jiang Tong smiled and said.

"There are many things and resources in this world that are concentrated in one place. The further you go out into the world and the more you know, the more you will feel this way."

Lu Changzhi nodded, not dwelling on the nesting doll issue, but rather thinking of something else.

"Since there's no Emperor Source in the Land of Contemplation, what about outside...?"

"Looking at it this way, the Emperor Road truly lives up to its name."

"That's one way to put it, but it's not entirely accurate."

Jiang Tong thought for a moment and then said.

"The essence of the Emperor Source is a kind of power, but having this power is not necessarily a good thing. Places with and without the Emperor Source are, in fact, quite different environments."

"A powerful individual who has always emerged from an environment without Emperor Source will find it almost impossible to adapt to an environment with Emperor Source. It's unlikely they can advance their cultivation level any further."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow and pointed outside.

"In that case, wouldn't the potential of these powerful figures in the Land of Contemplation, like Li Baimei and Gu De, be completely capped?"

"You could say that."

Jiang Tong nodded.

"They've been in an environment without the Emperor Source for far too long, and they've been unaccustomed to it since childhood. Coupled with their already high cultivation levels, adapting is practically impossible. Unless—"

As he spoke, Jiang Tong paused slightly.

"Unless what?"

Lu Changzhi pressed for an answer.

Jiang Tong smiled slightly and said.

"Unless we find a master to help us."

Lu Changzhi looked at Jiang Tong, then suddenly smiled, a knowing look on his face, and said.

"The master is right in front of you, isn't he?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tong followed Lu Changzhi's example and gave a thumbs up.

"The little guy guessed right."

After exchanging a few more casual words, Lu Changzhi asked.

"Ancestor, what are the plans for the Emperor Road?"

Jiang Tong shook his head and said.

"We don't have any other plans. We'll just get rid of these Tai Clan people first."

When the Tai Clan was mentioned, Lu Changzhi asked.

"Is the Tai Clan's strength far inferior to that of the Jiang Clan?"

Jiang Tong nodded.

"There is some difference, but it's not too bad."

"The Jiang Clan are just too cautious. As for the Tai Clan, they're really not that special."

As he spoke, Jiang Tong, then changed the subject.

"But even if I tell you now, you probably won't have a clear idea. You'll understand once you go out and move around a bit."

As he spoke, Jiang Tong, then continued.

"And you, little one."

What are your plans for this so-called Emperor Road?

Lu Changzhi shook his head and said.

"We've seen enough of the excitement already. Since the outside world is so vast, it's time to prepare and find some time to go out and explore."

"Can."

Jiang Tong then said.

"I'll give you some financial assistance too, but what you get out of it depends on your luck."

As soon as he finished speaking, several objects appeared before Lu Changzhi's eyes.

Lu Changzhi's gaze swept over the objects, then he looked at Jiang Tong, blinked, and said.

"Ancestor, this is so convenient for you."

These artifacts are none other than, if he is not mistaken, they should all have been taken from the powerful members of the Tai Clan.

Jiang Tong seriously and said.

"Good things delivered to your door should be accepted. But don't look at them yet, I'll go and take them away first, you keep them safe for now."

Lu Changzhi nodded, and with a thought, he immediately stored these items into his System Space.

Jiang Tong tried to sense it for a moment, and then nodded slightly and said.

"Not bad, you have a way of hiding things, very good."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene before Lu Changzhi changed, and he was back in the crowd.

By this time, quite some time had passed during their conversation.

A group of powerful Tai Clan members were left hanging there like salted fish. The Jiang Clan's group of powerful members looked at Jiang Tong, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back. As for the others, they Jingjing waited for things to develop.

At this moment, Jiang Tong spoke up.

"I will spare your lives today, but this will not be a repeat of the previous instance."

As soon as the words were spoken, the long staffs inside the bodies of all the Tai Clan powerhouses were pulled out.

Everyone clearly saw that these people all trembled violently after the long sticks were pulled out.

Although he was still standing, he gave the impression of being completely exhausted.

Tai Jiuling, on the other hand, looked much more robust. He stared at Jiang Tong for a long time before slowly speaking.

"Jiang Clan, our Tai Clan has taken note of what happened today."

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually waved his hand.

"Brush--"

All they saw was a chilling aura flash by. When they realized what had happened, their expressions changed drastically.

On the ground, the group of powerful figures from the Great Qian Ancient Kingdom who had been standing there had completely vanished. Like the others before them, they had all been annihilated, turning into a cloud of blood mist on the spot.

Even after doing all this, Tai Jiuling's gaze still swept over the powerful members of the Jiang Clan.

The next moment, the enormous body began to collapse rapidly, eventually transforming into a massive teleportation portal. Then, the group of the Tai Clan experts departed before everyone's eyes.

Throughout all of this, everyone held their breath, not daring to make a sound. Only when the Tai Clan's teleportation portal disappeared did they dare to exhale even slightly.

They could understand treating the weak as ants. But now even the powerful figures of the Great Qian Ancient Kingdom were being treated as ants; this was absolutely unprecedented.

Some people couldn't help but look towards Jiang Tong, wondering what was going on.

Why was the other side stopped when this so-called Japanese officer made a move earlier, but then did nothing as before?

However, despite their thoughts, no one paid much attention to it.

After all, although the impact is quite significant right now, at least I'm not the one who gets hurt. That's already incredibly fortunate.
