Chapter One Hundred Thirty-Six: I tried to pursue a possibil

e Dean of the Wanjiang City Daoist Temple finally opened his eyes again, gazing at the fiery ocean that blazed before him, its intensity both visible and hidden. His entire being was consumed with rag...When Jiang Wang assassinated Ji Shaocheng at Tianya Platform, it immediately drew the attention of almost all powerful figures from the nearby islands.

After all, it's a microcosm of the rivalry between Qi and Diaohailou.

All the details of that incident have long been spread throughout the nearby seas.

Chen Zhide's words, "If I had been born fifteen years later, I would have kept Daoist Jiang here," were like a golden bell at the time, saving the precarious situation of Dianhai Tower and bringing its reputation to new heights. They were widely circulated for a while.

So, many present could clearly hear that Jiang Wang's statement "Jiang Mou wasn't born fifteen years early" was a response across time and the most powerful blow to the reputation of the Fishing Sea Tower.

This response goes beyond simply pointing to Chen Zhi Tao; it encompasses all three strong elders of the Diao Hai Lou from that year.

How majestic and dashing!

When he laughed, everyone felt they could be friends with him and say anything, make any joke.

When he was serious, people realized what a king and marquis forged in mountains of corpses and seas of blood he truly was!

As Jiang Wangji pointed in all directions, the entire Tianya Stage fell into a moment of deathly silence.

>

The clamor and commotion, as if swallowed whole.

The ceaseless sound of the waves, as if, seemed very distant.

Even though Zhuo Qing was usually as cold and composed as ice, rarely moved by anything, he found himself speechless at this moment.

This is your Marquis Wu'an being modest

He started by attacking all the Diaohailou Divine Lords present and casually took down a true transmission disciple of the Inner Palace Realm along the way

You are so under the radar!

"Marquis Wuan!" Hai Jingping wasn't annoyed when his name was called. He proactively walked forward, raising his hands to show he offered no resistance, repeatedly saying, "No need for that, no need for that!"

Of course he knew it was for a reason.

It's not that Fang Pu's words were particularly outrageous.

Fang Pu's pursuit of Zhu Biqiong is well-known to almost everyone near the sea. Zhu Biqiong's feelings for Fang Pu are also obvious to all with discerning eyes.

Watching the girl he had longed for, treating him with coldness, yet laughing and chatting amiably with another man, the young man's blood boiled with passion. He blurted out whatever came to mind.

This is Huai Island. With teachers and fellow disciples all around, Fang Pu felt very secure. He casually uttered a yin-yang weird remark, it wasn't really a big deal.

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

To put it bluntly, what does Fang Pu amount to What weight do his words carry How can he possibly represent the Diaohai Building

But the reason I say this thing "as for"!

This is because, given the current situation and layout of the islands near the sea, as a renowned military general of the State of Qi, Jiang Wang must seize the opportunity to suppress Diang Hai Lou.

Here is the English translation of the text within the > tags, preserving the HTML tags:

Chen Du Zhenjun single-handedly established the Zhenhai League, integrating forces from near the sea. He also returned after beheading Wan Tong's horns, pushing the prestige of Diaohanghai Lou overseas to new heights.

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

The suppression of Di'er Haolou by the State of Qi had reached a new level of intensity, surpassing all previous periods.

Ji Zhao Nan, Chong Xuan Zun, Chong Xuan Chu Liang... that was wave after wave of them coming.

If opportunities don't come, we create them. And now Fang Pu has taken the initiative to come to us today

Fang Pu's hotheadedness was merely jealousy, but Jiang Wang directly escalated the situation, raising it to the level of Di Hai Lou insulting the Duke of Da Qi! He even dragged in these unrelated elders...

He is a blunt person who speaks without restraint. What does it have to do with his master What does it have to do with Chen Zhitao And what does it have to do with Hai Jingping

The moment before, we were laughing and joking, even setting up a game of chance. The next moment, they turned their faces, refusing to recognize us, even poking our elders in the nose!

The River Pass Wanderer is right, the national system has been poisoning people for millennia. These officials and nobles are truly not good things!

Though they fight amongst themselves, there's not much to be said about it.

This one can't be fought.

Don't even mention them all together, they really couldn't compare to Jiang Wang who has made such a name for himself.

Even if you managed to win, how could you possibly explain it

The three Great Elders of the Fishing Sea Pavilion, along with the most talented young disciple of the Fishing Sea Pavilion, and another direct disciple, teamed up to attack a young man from Qi State in his twenties

If you win, it's not only hard to say, but even harder to do!

Insulting and beating Duke Qi publicly. Then, someone surnamed Jiang even dared to hit himself a few times. Minor injuries became serious ones, light wounds turned into life-threatening conditions... Is this not giving the people of Qi an excuse How is this any different from Fang Pu's actions

“It's not that serious!” Hai Jingping pleaded earnestly: “A reckless child, Martial An Hou just needs to teach him a lesson by spanking him. We elders shouldn't get involved and lay our hands on him. If this gets out, people will laugh at us!”

On the left was a child, and on the right, a thug. Fang Pu blushed with shame and anger.

A twenty-four year old child

But besides clenching his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh, he couldn't say a word.

As Liu Yu, Fang Pu's master, saw his disciple in such a predicament, he remained silent. For only Fang Pu was an ignorant child, and only then could Di Hai Lou maintain its facade.

After all, who would bother to argue with a little fool

Jiang Wang had never been afraid of people being arrogant, but he was afraid of someone as shrewd and cunning as Hai Jingping. With his hands spread open in a gesture of non-aggression, it was hard for Jiang Wang to draw his sword.

I was thinking of coming up with another reason to make a scene, just so I could give Qi Shuai a proper greeting.

Either the voice of Hai Jingping was too loud, shaking his ears, or it seemed like an ambush

Chen Zhidao had already strode forward, saying in his mouth: "Marquis Wu'an is ashamed of me!"

Here is the text translated into English:

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

Jiang Wang looked at him, saying nothing.

Chen Zhi Tao frankly admitted: "Back in 19 years, you were younger than now, and I was more naive. At that time, I made a bold statement, saying that if I had been born fifteen years later, I would definitely have surpassed you and left you behind on Tianya Stage."

"In less than fifteen years, you proved in just three that I was so arrogant and naive back then!"

He sighed: "What use are three more years At the Yellow River gathering that year, you already made it clear to me the gap in our talents. While I was at my peak, I could barely make it into the top eight. But during your time at the Inner Palace, you were the number one!"

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

“Today, I don't want to continue this duel. It's not that I have any opinions about Marquis Wu An.”

"When the peerless talent of the world is present, it's shameful for someone like me to call themselves a prodigy!"

“Today, I stand before you, having spent years in vain, my hands empty of accomplishment. I truly admire you.”

"I'm not as good as you. I'm not as good as you now, and it will be difficult for me to catch up with you in the future."

"Though the path is long, Chen Zhidao should strive his best."

“But the heavens are so far away, and the ocean so vast. Throughout history, talented individuals have emerged. Mountains do not shun paths, and rivers never cease to flow. Even after traveling thousands of miles, one can still find hope. I hope that among my junior brothers and sisters, or even among my descendants, someone will surpass you today…I will strive my best!”

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

It takes courage for a renowned prodigy to admit their inferiority in public.

For a leader of a powerful sect who has held authority for so long and almost certainly grasped the future, to swallow their own words requires faith.

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

But Chen Zhi Tao is no match for Jiang Qing Yang, is that something to be ashamed of

This man, on the bank of the river, had already defeated all the heroes of the world. No one else compares to him.

He faced the gap and strived for the future.

This is a first-class mind.

...Couldn't fight anymore... Zhu Qingru sighed softly in her heart.

She was somewhat interested in the first day's fight of the nearshore competition. After all, it was fun to watch the excitement. Besides, Chen ZhiTao was not a weak opponent either.

And when Great Qi's Duke of Wu'an challenged her on the Hai Lou, she could hardly contain herself.

Lord Jiang is truly not low-key, but the play he puts on is truly a good one.

However, this old and young couple from the Fishing Sea Tower cooperated seamlessly. One sought to avenge an old grudge, the other to mend a past grievance, both with sincere attitudes, leaving no room for outbursts.

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

Unless Jiang Wang is now acting recklessly, picking up his sword and hacking—in that case, the hearts of the people in the nearby islands would be hard to win back.

After all, Diu Hai Lou is a renowned and long-established organization that has made significant contributions to the human race. To simply slap Diu Hai Lou without considering the facts... wouldn't it be unfair to everyone else We all have eyes to see.

Now, let's see how Lord Jiang will wrap things up.

“Brother Chen, I have always admired you.” Jiang Wang bowed respectfully: “I also sincerely hope that all of you will do your best to straighten out the mountain gate, establish rules and order, discipline with etiquette, and punish with law. Don’t give outsiders like me the opportunity to overstep boundaries. What you said is sincere and humble, benefiting me greatly. However, there is one thing…”

"I said I wasn't born fifteen years earlier out of any resentment towards Brother Chen. It's just that thinking back to that figure three years ago, I felt a bit nostalgic... Now I've let go of it all!"

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

"Brother Chen," Jiang Wang said earnestly, "Back then I didn't feel inferior to you, and today, you don't have to feel inferior to me. Before we truly clash, how can we speak of victory or defeat"

Chen Zhi Tao still wore the same serious expression: "Martial An Hou has made unprecedented achievements in the Demon Realm, a well-deserved hero of humanity. Although I have also been struggling in the Illusory Realm these years, I am ashamed that there are no remarkable achievements to speak of. I have had thirteen near-death experiences. With Brother Jiang here, I should give way... Before entering the Dao's True Form, I dare not ask for advice!"

After that, he bowed and stepped back, flying like a water droplet, falling into the sea.

Jiang Wang originally planned to say next, "Your duel with Fu Yanqing is off, why don't we put on a performance instead to entertain the audience."

But Chen Zhitao obviously had anticipated this, and he was unwilling to give him the opportunity to crush Ding Hai Lou's true heir in public.

He could only look at the other potential targets in the room.

However, besides the sincere Haijingping, no one else made eye contact with him.

Finding something wrong isn't so easy... Never mind.

Jiang Wang found it rather boring and was about to take his leave when his gaze fell upon Zhu Biqiong.

Zhu Biqiong suddenly said, "Chen Shixiong and Fu Yanqing's duel is off. It's a pity that so many people waited for nothing. Why not, Daoist Jiang, you slightly suppress your cultivation and perform a show with me to entertain the audience What do you think"

"It's getting late. I need to hurry to Jueming Island, so let's reschedule our sparring for another day." Jiang Wang bowed politely and took his leave from the group.

Although there was no clash of fists and feet, this exchange between Jiang Wuan and Dianhailou, two successive true disciples, was quite interesting. Zhu Qingru thought so and replied, "Looking forward to meeting Brother Jiang again in the realm of confusion."

The power of Tianxing Cliff is formidable, but sometimes it can be tedious. She yearns to travel and study for ten thousand miles, hoping to glimpse the true nature of things and anticipate that the world of illusion will unfold more exciting chapters.

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

Jiang Wang looked deeply at Zhu Qingru: "I'm a very unlucky person, I hope Sister Zhu has better luck."

As the voice faded, Qingyun had already ascended the heavenly ladder and vanished from sight!

People say that Zhu Biqiong, the unparalleled genius of all time, uttered a single word that startled Jiang Wuan.

Throughout the entire interaction, Jiang Wang didn't treat Fang Pu as a child, nor did he truly strike Fang Pu's hand. He didn't even glance at Fang Pu more than necessary.

But Fang Pu's master, Liu Yu's words cannot be expressed, and Liu Yu's silence enduring is already a sufficient response.

A thoughtless remark can be hurtful, even to teachers.

He will surely remember this from now on.

The Fishing Sea Tower will surely punish Fang Pu's recklessness and rudeness.

Just like Jiang Wang wished Chen Zhi Tao...

“Governing by law, binding by ritual, punishing by legal statutes.”

Today's Dianghai Building is experiencing a period of rapid expansion in influence, but it's also a time when it could be easily "usurped" if not careful.

>

To lie beside a powerful neighbor is to find little peace.

>

Zuo Qingru went to communicate with the affairs of the fairy realm, Liu Yu took away his embarrassing disciples, and Hai Jingping tried his best to smooth things over...

As the crowd on Tiangetai dispersed, they returned to their homes one by one. Soon, only an empty platform remained.

Like an upturned palm, reaching high into the sky, as if holding aloft the rising sun.

But some people say, it's getting late.

Is it time that runs out, or is it people

>

Maybe it's too late!

>

Zhu Biqiong returned to her private courtyard and sat down again in front of the dressing mirror.

There's no need to fuss over your makeup anymore.

She wasn't going to tell Gu Huai Xin about today's events. Of course, not a single detail of the incident would escape his notice anyway. But by not telling him, it meant she wouldn't need her master to step in.

Although she is undoubtedly the most dazzling prodigy of Diang Hai Lou in recent years, it would not be an exaggeration to say she has made incredible progress in a short time. However, due to the death of Ji Shaocheng, her situation within Diang Hai Lou is actually rather delicate.

Although Gu Huixian herself didn't mind, and gave her a lot of support. Although in the official ranking, as Jinghai's true disciple, she rose through the ranks at an astonishing speed, crushing her peers with overwhelming strength, her position was only below Chen Zhitao.

But the eyes of her fellow disciples, though seemingly respectful, still held a hint of scrutiny and something else... different.

Even from beginning to end, she wasn't the one who made the mistake!

Today, Fang Pu is so out of control. Although there are reasons for her emotional outburst, isn't it also a reflection of the disrespect she feels within

>

She has experienced being looked down upon by people, and also being looked up to. She has received sympathy, as well as scorn, reverence, hatred, and adoration. She no longer cares.

Like water reflecting a virtual moon, I let the waves rise at will.

In the midst of the myriad forms and appearances of beings, there is one person who remains steadfast.

She loved this unwavering constancy.

It's also frustrating that this has always been the case.

“I’m going to the Netherworld too,” she said calmly.

The face reflected in the mirror was still another one, a face that was originally more gentle but now seemed increasingly venomous. This time, the voice wasn't as sharp: "You can go to the realm of illusion, you often go there, but it shouldn't be for others. Especially not for a man."

Zhu Biqiong then said: "I'm going to the realm of illusions."

The voice in the mirror sounded low and sinister: "How long can you deceive yourself"

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

Zhu Biqing did not answer, only saying: "He's a unlucky one. So am I. Perhaps there's no chance to meet in the Mystical Realm."

In the pond not far away, another familiar voice jumped out. It sounded very much like that man, but it was different—“You said you wouldn't meet him in the Demon Realm, is that good luck or bad luck for you”

"As for him" the voice added, with a touch of malice.

Zhu Biqing's emotions were becoming increasingly difficult to influence. Feeling the sea breeze blowing past her window, she even had a sense of tranquility: "Whether or not I meet him, it's all part of my practice."

A male voice from the water asked, “If you can’t meet him, why go at all”

Zhu Bi Qiong Dao: "But it's not that we can't encounter it at all. I'm trying to chase after a possibility. Enjoying it, indescribable."

“Hehehehehe… enjoying oneself to the fullest, indescribable!” The voice from the water laughed, “You haven’t laughed like this in a long time, Bamboo Biqiong! You think he came out for you today Have you forgotten your position, his identity!”

"Even if he is acting out of Qi State's political interests today," Zhu Biqiong said calmly, "he would at least have some anger... because of me, wouldn't he"

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

"Good sister, wake up a bit." The woman in the mirror said, "Today he looked at you...so clean and pure."

Zhu Bi Qing slightly lowered her eyes: "Very good. That was the way I first liked him."

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

Thus, both the water and its reflection were silent.

Outside the window, there was the sound of wings flapping. A blue-billed gull brought in a white-browed eyebrow flower.

This tough-talking bird seems to be saying it's not sad, even though it's borrowing flowers.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!nd naturally, I have the corresponding awareness.” Jiang Wang said seriously: “As long as Your Highness helps me save Zhu Biqiong, I promise here that in the struggle for succession in Daqi, I will al...
