Chapter Thirty-Five: As If Worlds Apart

with all eyes on you throughout the land. Who wouldn't keep an eye on you""Then he explained, "Well, aren't you ready yet"Jiang Wang fell silent for a moment, then said, “It's nothing. I should have..."Where did Jiang Wang go" Lin Youxie suddenly asked.

Zheng Shuming, who was reciting the imperial grace, was startled: "Ah"

"I asked, 'Where did Jiang Wang go Do you know'

"

Zheng Shangming pursed his lips and said, "I've left Qi."

So, all fell silent.

A fierce battle has just ended.

The result of the battle was victory.

In the illusory realm, a young man named Ling Yue furrowed his handsome brows, dissatisfied with himself.

Although we won, it wasn't easy.

The current ranking, is just the fifth in the Tai Xu Huan Jing. Staying within the top ten is a hurdle. Staying within the top five is another hurdle. To firmly hold the first position in Tai Xu, one has to surpass everyone else by a significant margin.

He had only just reached the top five when he already felt incredibly strong resistance. Some people, however, had long since secured the first position in Tai Xu Inner Mansion and were overlooking the other contenders. Now they were even moving towards the top spot in Tai Xu Outer Pavilion...

Although there are some objective reasons for this, such as the rapid expansion of the Illusory Realm and the increasing number of cultivators participating in it, with the emergence of more and more powerful cultivators, the competition for ranking within the inner mansion has become increasingly fierce...

But he wasn't a person who would make excuses for himself.

Especially some people's first, is the entire world, among the national geniuses of the first. Even tracing back through history, it is the first ever recorded.

He had no excuse.

Ling Yue, the young master, became increasingly dissatisfied. He wanted to fight a few more rounds when his eyes caught sight of a familiar paper crane fluttering towards him.

"Humph."

He let out a cold snort, already standing on the duel platform, intending to ignore him just like before.

But after thinking about it, I didn't think I needed to be too stingy.

Enough, let's see what some people are spouting.

He then walked down from the Dueling Platform, reaching out with a hand to snatch up the paper crane.

According to what I can see, the text says: " "---->" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"Dear younger brother, do not worry. Affairs in Qi are settled, and I have come east with my sword. I will surely make you the first in the world's mountains and seas!"

"What a mess!" Zuo Guangshu muttered with a disdainful smirk, "The Shan Hai Realm isn't about vying for rankings!"

Holding the letter, he paused for a moment, then let out a cold laugh. He unfurled the paper and wrote: "A spot in the Sea-Mountain Realm is quite precious. Since you said you wouldn't come before, I had already..."

Having reached this point, he hesitated and wiped his hand across the page, then rewrote: "You don't have to come. Surely the Left Clan of Chu can find a prodigious talent who can lend a helping hand Don't think you are truly invincible..."

The pen tip paused over the two characters "invincible," and for a moment, I felt my words lacked persuasiveness. Then again, I thought, Jiang Qingyang wasn't necessarily that bad of a person. He had real reasons for what he did before, after all.

Enough.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

He sighed, erasing all those words, and wrote magnanimously: "If you really want to participate, I'll see what I can do."

The pen is put down, and the paper crane takes flight.

The Dueling Platform still hung in the distance, but at this moment, Zuo Guangshu had lost his mood for honing his fighting skills.

In a thought, he had already coldly retreated from the Illusory Realm of Vast Nothingness.

The servants of the Duke of Huai's mansion only saw their handsome young master in a water-blue robe, dashing through the mansion: "Grandfather! Grandfather! Grandfather!"

Husband still thought something had happened, stepping out of the study with concern and asking, "What's wrong"

"Change people!" Left Guangshu said with a voice as sharp as cutting gold and jade.

Jiāng Wàng left Línzǐ alone, without looking back.

He stayed in Qingyang Town for only half a day, taking a look at the situation of his fiefdom and giving Dugu Xiao some pointers on her cultivation. He told her to be extra careful during this time and then continued westward.

The emperor has made his promise, what happens next depends entirely on fate.

>

He has already done what he could, now the only thing to do is to quickly get out of the way and avoid drawing unwanted attention, so as not to inconvenience certain people.

After all, the empress had reigned in the palace for so many years. If she truly became enraged, who could withstand her wrath Few, if any, in the court would be able to survive.

>

He also only heard when he was leaving that the prince had already become a divine being, formally transcending his lifespan. From then on, his golden body and jade marrow were beyond compare, he was supremely exalted. According to ritual, all officials would greet him with national rites...

The prince could have achieved godhood long ago, but he delayed repeatedly, showing his prudence. However, he didn't achieve it too early or too late; instead, he chose this very moment to ascend to godhood.

What does this mean

When Jiang Wang went to Lu Gong to meet the emperor, the crown prince was also nervous. Or perhaps, the crown prince intentionally showed this nervousness — which means that even now, he knows the truth about what happened back then.

On the surface, the prince's choice to appear here at this time seems to be an attempt to bolster his position and prepare for the potential political storm that may be brewing.

This is a test.

But in reality, he did not choose to distance himself, nor did he pretend to be oblivious to what happened that year. In fact, this bargaining chip was given to the Queen!

A prince who has been flawless for years and has now even addressed his shortcomings in cultivation, what could there possibly be to criticize about him

This is mother's responsibility.

A crown prince who has broken his lifespan, already has the qualification to give some support to the current empress...

But perhaps this is exactly what the emperor wanted to strike.

How the Emperor would punish the Crown Prince, Jiang Wang naturally had no way of knowing. But it was clear that this time he had offended the Crown Prince deeply.

Instead of staying in Linzi and waiting for trouble to find me, it would be better to slip away while the emperor is busy with old affairs and the court is silent. I could also fulfill my promise made long ago with Zuo Guangshu, to see for myself the heroic spirit of Chu land. And perhaps venture into the realm of mountains and seas, to experience firsthand the legendary charm of Huang Wei's true beauty.

There are many acquaintances in Linzi City, so I won't say goodbye to avoid causing hurt feelings.

Please note that I have only translated the text content within the > tags. I left the HTML tags as they are.

Perhaps many friends would feel that he was forced out of Linzi, and he might be wronged and pained. But on the contrary, he left very openly and honestly.

A clear heart and a bright mind.

Be true to oneself and have no regrets.

He made the choice he would never regret in his lifetime.

The official path might be able to elevate his cultivation speed in the short term, but in the long run of his journey, he needs to recognize himself more.

Seven days later.

The soul-shattering Gorge, the chaotic Stone Valley, the wind howls mournfully.

Jiang Wang sat on a stone platform hanging precariously from the cliff, gazing at the sliver of sky, letting his blue robe billow freely.

In a sense, one's own views are no different from the limited space that confines our vision. Who among us is not viewing the world through a single line of sight

The wind across the chasm brought a figure cloaked in black.

He leaped several steps onto the stone platform, standing beside Jiang Wang but maintaining a certain distance. He grumbled, "Why choose this desolate place to meet"

Jiang Wang smiled: "I said we could connect through the Tai Xu Illusory Realm, but you wouldn't dare. In Qi State now, there are too many eyes watching. This place is more familiar to me, and it's safe."

“It’s not like you’re by Tian Anping’s side, so of course you have nothing to be afraid of. The Illusory Realm is… well, let’s just say I’m not comfortable with the confidentiality. I need to be responsible for myself!” Even though Tian Chang was wrapped in a black robe and wearing a hooded cloak, he instinctively moved to a corner of the stone platform, hiding himself: “What do you need to see me about Just get to the point!”

Jiang Wang turned back to look at him, still smiling: "With your intelligence, you couldn't possibly have not thought of it"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"I'm not stupid! If I were smart, I wouldn't be controlled by you like this!"

"Your attitude is wrong." Jiang Wang retracted his smile and said in a low voice, "Why are things going so well now Do you have any new reliance"

“Please, just this once. I can’t disappear for too long,” Tian Chang pleaded, changing his tone to one of apology. “Whatever your problem is, let’s resolve it quickly. Anything you want to know, just ask and I’ll tell you.”

Jiang Wang knew this person was a formidable viper and didn't want to push him too far. He simply brushed it aside and asked directly, "Was Urie killed by Tian Anping"

Tien Chang was indeed prepared for this question: "Don't you already have the answer"

"Can't he just leave the city limits"

But Uriel may go to the city.

As for why Urie went to the immediate city...

The answer is Wanling's Frozen Snow.

Wu Lie had been investigating the case of Queen Lei Gui for so many years, once he learned about the clue of Wan Ling Dong Xue, even in the most dangerous places, he would probably have to go and see it himself.

“I understand.” Jiang Wang nodded and asked, “Then why leave Urie’s body”

"I don't know either." Tian Chang shook his head. "But I think there are probably two possibilities."

>

Which two

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

First, no one looked for Urie when he went missing. If he were dead, no one would look for him either.

Urie, that once-famous blue card myth, would naturally spark an investigation if he went missing. But now that he's dead, his body lying there plain as day, no one even bothers to look into it...

Since those who are qualified to investigate can probably guess who the murderer is working for.

People willing to investigate and brave enough to do so wouldn't wait until now.

"That makes sense," Jiang Wang said, "What about the second possibility"

Then, Tian said in an enigmatic tone, “Perhaps this is a clue for you.”

Jiang Wang was practically jolted by this statement, and couldn't help but ask, "Why give us clues"

"I'm just guessing there might be a possibility, but I can't figure out the reason." Tian Chang sighed, "Do you think if Tian Anping's actions could be deduced logically, he would be so crazy"

Jiang Wang fell silent for a moment, then said, "You still understand Tian Anping best."

Tian Chang's voice was filled with wistfulness: "It's just to live a little longer."

“My questions are all done.” Jiang Wang said.

“Then I’ll be going.” Tian Chang walked forward a few steps, then suddenly stopped and said, “Actually, I have a question I want to ask you too.”

Jiang Wang looked at him: "Tell me about it."

"The Eleventh Prince had also personally visited Dazze County earlier, and later lowered his flag and rested, it should be that he has already let go of this matter. Including the Ninth Prince who later specially participated in the Qixing Valley Secret Realm, but searched for clues everywhere near the city..." Tian Chang said: "I heard that you are close friends with the Eleventh Prince, how could you betray his last wish"

Jiang Wang only found out today about the reason Jiang Wuxie went to Qixinggu that time!

Then, Anping Tian's sudden appearance in Qixing Valley that time was probably not just because of the Tian family's failure in the hidden star world.

Underneath that incredibly fierce competition for the secret realm's top spot, there were actually such undercurrents. Indeed, if one's strength is lacking, some things, even when happening right before one's eyes, would remain incomprehensible.

It's a pity that at the time, it was unclear whether Tian Anping and Jiang Wuxie had any secret confrontations.

Jiang Wang's thoughts raced, and she said, "I respect the Eleventh Prince's wishes. But Lin Kuang is a loyal subject who served his country with all his heart. His posthumous reputation should not be 'died by fear of responsibility.'"

Tian Chang uttered an "oh," seemingly unconvinced.

“Mr. Jiang is indeed a role model for our generation,” he left behind those words, and then jumped off the cliff.

The wind howled, and the clothes fluttered.

While Jiang Wang sat alone on the high platform for a long time, he finally let out only a sigh.

Even a madman should have his own desires... What does Tian Anping really want

It is difficult to plan a good route from Duanshenxia to the State of Chu.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang was still planning to go through the State of Mu, detouring around the Tianma Plain, crossing the Chang River, and going to Yun Country to see An An. Then he would head south into Chu——if the magical incident hadn't happened, he should have been cultivating in the State of Chu during this time.

The reason I took the long way around, instead of going straight through Xingyue Plain, crossing the Changhe River, and entering the Southern Region, was not because I was afraid of Jing or Xia, but mainly because I wanted to see Ru Cheng and An An.

After the cleansing of his Demon Curse, he now swaggered through Jing Guo without any issues. Let alone simply passing under their noses.

Now Jing Guo is massing troops against Sheng Guo, and Sheng Guo is also mobilizing its forces from across the land.

The large army of the Kingdom of Mu arrived at Liyuan City in waves.

As a hegemonic power conflict looms, unavoidable and imminent, no one knows when the first horn of charge will sound.

Zhao Rucheng was just outside Yuánchéng, and Jiāng Wàng naturally couldn't help but worry.

Of the five sworn brothers that year, you, Ren, were the youngest and also the laziest and most pampered. You always relied on your older brothers to take care of you.

Though he is now known to be a descendant of the Qin Emperor, with noble bloodline, back then he was mostly keeping a low profile. However, I couldn't help but worry about him...

>

However, Jiang Wang's plan still failed.

With war imminent, the area around Liyuan City had already been placed under martial law, making it impossible to get close.

I wanted to send a letter to my fifth brother, but unfortunately, his title as the Jiang Duke of Da Qi holds no weight here in Mu Sheng. No one paid him any mind, and he nearly aroused suspicion from several scouts.

Before things got worse, he had to leave first.

Such a war between two major hegemons would be enough to shake the very foundations of the world. The deaths of demigods and true humans would be mere footnotes in history. Compared to them, an Outer Court cultivator like himself was as insignificant as dust.

This is a simple example. Let's add some more content and see how it works!```

This is another paragraph.

Besides a sigh far away, there is nothing to be done.

Then, he plunged into the road ahead.

I wasn't in the mood to enjoy the scenery this time either.

Reading, traveling, and cultivating oneself.

Crossing the grassland at top speed, then through Wo Kingdom, over the Long River, they quietly arrived in Yun Kingdom.

When I first left the Cloud Country, it was in the autumn of the year 3919 AD on the Dao Calendar.

At that time, he was full of ambition and wanted to go to the State of Chu to help Zuo Guangshu punch through the mountains and seas realm. He boasted shamelessly that he would help Xiao Guangshu achieve this feat.

Turning my head, I was hit hard by reality. The name of a magic user, the massacre of demons, the struggle for the Jade Balance, the Battle of Star Moon Origin, the death of Jiang Wuqi...

Life seemed to be brutally pulled for a while, and finally returned to the beginning.

But after all, it is not the beginning anymore.

Now, upon my return, it is the year of the Three Nines and Two Zero in spring.
