Chapter Fifty: Beautiful and Talented

rce.In reality, the strong are actually hollow inside!> Jiang Wang felt that the more he pondered, the more profound his feelings became.Many things that I couldn't understand before are now clear, as...Before descending upon the mortal realm, Jiang Wang first visited the Sea of Origin world and the Hidden Star world.

Compared to other participants in the floating world, he was a latecomer and could only make a pact with the weak Qihuo tribe.

Those who came before him had longer-lasting involvement in the floating world.

The fair rules of the life-and-death game offset, to some extent, the advantage of others entering the floating world first. But in such a rich and diverse world as Floating Land, time is akin to treasure, and the wise will surely know how to seize it.

For example, at that time, he could only obtain the cultivation method of the Fire Totem from the Celebration Fire Department. He didn't have killing techniques or totem spirit achievement methods. Others had a longer period of operation and were definitely able to obtain more.

Le Zhanqian won the hearts of beauties and was highly respected in the Chilei tribe.

Jiang Wu Xie even almost had the Ji Huo Department under his control.

Jiang Wang couldn't help but wonder, where was Sister Li

What did that woman, who was known for her extraordinary aspirations and a heart as clear as ice, win in this bustling world

“Is the Water Purification Department’s shaman still Qing Shichen” Jiang Wang asked the shaman one last question before leaving the Fire Shrine.

"Generally speaking, shamans are shamans as long as they don't die. It's a job where you get paid to just sit around and do nothing for the rest of your life," Qihuo explained with a touch of humor, revealing the reason he had yet to decipher any of the creation god texts.

In King Jeongwon's cough.

He added: “Qing Shui Chen is still alive.”

>

The two shamans, one in front and one behind the fire altar, were truly worlds apart.

This is the prison cell of Qihui, but also his haven for appreciating calligraphy.

Qihui's biological father, adoptive father, and grandfather all died because of the Earth Pit. He seems to have inherited the fate of dying for the Earth Pit as well.

Everyone here says his jump into the Nether was an accident.

But Jiang Wang always felt that it was a foregone conclusion. Cowardice was Qiheng's resistance in its inscription, but he failed to rewrite the ending.

"Please issue a royal decree summoning this senior to the capital city, so we can discuss strategies for countering the world-ending Demon Dragon." Jiang Wang said to King Qing.

King Qing said, "Mr. Linchuan summoned me, how could I refuse"

After the Fire Temple, their next destination was the Wuzhi Cave. Wang refused to venture in, and King Qing wouldn't go either. However, before that, Jiang Wang still needed to meet Jihuo Yu Ling's daughter.

A guest arrived under a bright blue sky, still residing in the General's Mansion of Qihuo Yuanchen.

In the quite spacious courtyard, Jiang Wang saw Prince Nine of Great Qi, Jiang Wu Xie's adopted daughter—about eight or nine years old, about the same height as Jiang An An. Sitting on a chair, her trousers and skirt covered down to hide everything, she also wore an exaggerated shaman mask on her face.

“Hello, Uncle Linchuan.” The girl greeted first, very politely: “My name is Jihuo Yuxiu, and I’m sorry to bother you for a while.”

Jing Li, Xi Ming, Lian Yu Chan, and Bai Yu Xia have all gone out to do their business.

In the courtyard, only Lin Xian was practicing swordsmanship with a sullen expression.

When he heard Ji Huo Yu Xiu calling him Uncle Linchuan, he didn't even bother to raise his head. This kid is now curious about nothing except cultivation, and of course, he is very obedient. He does whatever you tell him to do.

>

This sound of "uncle" was a novel experience for Jiang Wang. Time passed just like that, and the strange child no longer called him big brother.

“Are you a shaman too” Jiang Wang asked.

“No, I want to become a shaman,” Ji Huo Yushou said, placing her hand on the mask: “The first time we meet, I show my sincerity.”

She possessed a maturity beyond her years, and with the unveiling of the mask, her countenance was revealed to be rugged. Her nose was sunken and her lips swollen, her two eyes seemed to harbor some deep grievance, darting outwards frantically.

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

This is a kind of ugliness that could make people have nightmares, but she smiled as she put the mask back on.

A smile is her other mask.

“When my mother gave birth to me, it was a critical moment. To secure her position, she didn't wait to give birth naturally but used a secret method to seal the fetus. But the battle lasted longer than she expected… so I was born like this. Without legs, and rather unsightly.” Ji Huo Yu Xiu's voice was very calm, as if recounting someone else's story.

Jiang Wang didn't comfort her falsely by saying she was actually beautiful, that it didn't matter that her body was imperfect, or that she mentioned whether her mother loved her. She just said: "Being a shaman isn't easy. You have to work very hard."

There was a little one leaning on the chair, most of the time like that exaggerated mask, strange: "Of course!"

>

Jiang Wang originally intended to meet and leave, handing the little burden that Jihuo Yu Ling had sent to Lin Xian's care. At this moment, he changed his mind: "I'm going to visit Wu Zhi Grotto now. Shouldn't we observe the star beasts for a while to see what future Wuzhus will be like"

"Can I" Ji Huo Yu Xiu's voice rose.

Of course.

Jiang Wang strode away, Ji Huo Yu Xiu and her chair floated up together, following closely behind him in the warm breeze.

Ji Huo Yu Xiu wasn't flustered, and waved at Lin Xian: "Come on, Uncle Chai Dao!"

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

Lin Xian was taken aback and replied, "Good," with a preciousness of words.

“Is Linchuan Shu Xiu’s totem the Wind Totem” Dihuo Yu Xiu asked curiously on the road.

>

"Our cultivation system is different," Jiang Wang said. "We can control all five elements."

"Is Uncle Linchuan very anxious" Jihuo Yushou asked again.

The urgency is reflected in the speed.

The two of them were flying too fast, the houses and buildings beneath them nearly blurring into a single line, nothing could be seen clearly.

"Is something wrong Are you feeling unwell"

"No. Just asking."

"With the enemy at our doorstep, Uncle has no choice but to act quickly." But even though things are urgent, since we've started talking, Jiang Wang also took the opportunity to satisfy his own curiosity: "What is your relationship with Jiang Wu Xie"

"Not bad," Jihuo Yushu said, "I used to look even worse. Uncle Wu Xie helped me cure it for a long time. From looking so hideous that people would vomit just by seeing me, to just being repulsive."

Her calmness often makes people overlook her age.

Jiang Wang casually said, "Why call him uncle too"

Ji Hu Yu Xiu's voice was calm, like a stream flowing peacefully: "My father died to save me. If I don't remember him, no one else will. So I can't call anyone else 'father'."

"...I'm sorry." Jiang Wang looked at Ji Hu Yu Xiu, and sincerely apologized.

Jihuo Yu Xiu tilted her head on the chair, and the exaggerated witch mask on her face also seemed to smile: "It's okay."

Everything about the Fire Department was different from before.

The Unbroken Cave hasn't changed much.

However, upon entering the depths of the cavern, one discovers a multitude of warriors and an assortment of weaponry.

Jiang Wang, with the swiftness of Dihuo Yu Xiu, made her way unimpeded all the way to the entrance of the secluded cave.

Here's the translation:

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

The ink-like night flowed like water in the vast chasm. Besides the starry beasts, no one had ever seen anything else in the ethereal heavens.

Now, Jiang Wang was different from before. His eyes were sharp as swords, piercing the darkness and diving deep into the night.

But it can't go down a hundred zhang anymore, it can't continue.

His left eye turned crimson gold, within the undying radiance, a tiny figure was flitting about, peering this way and that with remarkable vivacity.

The Immortal Mu Xian sits in control of the blazing sun, eyes burning red!

Like a giant stone sinking into the sea, his gaze once again plunged three hundred meters deep.

Still nothing, of course, and far from the end. I wonder if there even is an end.

What exactly is the "lower heavens" Is it like another layer of sky, beneath the blue one we know

Jiang Wang did not flaunt his brilliance, nor did he provoke You Tian. However, his gaze solidified into substance and pierced into You Tian, like a torch in the long night. That light was imperceptible to ordinary eyes, but blazed fiercely in certain existences!

Oooooh... The distant wind howled, like a lament from the past.

The Star Beasts are here!

The warriors in the underground cave quickly assembled, preparing for battle.

Jiang Wang held up his palm to stop them. "Don't come closer, just be on guard."

King Qìng granted him sufficient authority, and his cultivation was also very persuasive. The warriors silently arrayed themselves, maintaining a certain distance.

Ji Hu Yu Xiu sat beside him, silently staring into the depths of You Tian. She didn't seem afraid at all.

At a certain moment, in that endless abyss, stars suddenly appeared, twinkling clearly. Like a river of stars flowing across the sky, they resembled fireflies congregating together.

Jiang Wang retracted his gaze from the four hundred zhang distance and focused on the specific Star Beast.

He was probably the only one in this cavern who had ever seen a star beast clearly in the gloom.

He had once stood at the threshold of the world and gazed upon the red dust. Amidst the sea of suffering and illusion, he saw a gigantic monster outline, on which surged countless stars, numbering in the tens of thousands.

Master Ruan said that was a spectacle produced after the true immortal's physical body collapsed and their Dao principles became chaotic, not some monster. He said those star points were the achievements of the true immortal's teachings, imprints left by the true immortal in the myriad heavens and realms.

>

Now he was going to take a good look and see just what these Star Beasts were all about.

Suddenly, a voice rang out beside me: "This star beast looks like a cow!"

Jiang Wang turned his head to look at Ji Huo Yu Xiu. With her totem power significantly weakened, she was completely focused on gazing at You Tian.

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

“Can you see the specific appearance of this star beast” Jiang Wang couldn’t help but ask.

"You can see it clearly!" Jihuo Yuxiu said matter-of-factly.

This child has a pair of very special eyes.

“Are you sure this is your first time entering the dungeon” Jiang Wang asked.

“This is the first time I’ve seen a Star Beast,” Ji Huo Yu Xiu said in slight surprise. “I didn’t expect it to be so beautiful.”

"You're able to see things in the Netherworld. Don't tell anyone about it except your mother." Jiang Wang casually instructed, opening his large hand and pressing down.

His movements were so natural, yet perfectly timed, with a grace all their own.

A teardrop-shaped seed, like a flame of amber, fell from his palm and swiftly spread across the grotto.

Fireflowers bloom, firebirds fly, and fire meteors streak across the sky.

The Fire Realm first appeared in the Floating Continent.

This brilliant and magnificent world of fire, like a huge glass dome, is perfectly fitted over the abyss.

During this time, life was teeming, and all things were coming into being.

What stands out most is a magnificent city ablaze with flames, bustling with people and vehicles. Flags flutter in the wind, hinting at the clamor within.

And on the edge of this vast inferno, a formation of heavenly soldiers was erected, with massive blazing stone steles.

Each stone tablet bears clear totemic patterns. Some represent the Qing Huo Department, others the Ji Huo Department...

Many of the grotto warriors present bowed in salute!

With Jiang Wang's current cultivation and insight, he was perceptive and knowledgeable. Shortly after obtaining the Thirty-Six Fire Source Diagrams, he had already mastered them.

Even if we only consider the power of totems, he is the first in the Qihuo department. After communicating with the Floating Lu Origin Totem, the combat effectiveness he can exert in this world has naturally increased accordingly.

At this moment, these thirty-six Fire Source Totem Steles are the embodiment of cultivation!

Just as it fell into this fiery realm, the densely packed celestial beasts in the Nether Heavens also rushed out of the Nether Cave, relentlessly crashing into the Fire Realm, exploding into one after another burst of flames.

This scene left many of the warriors present dumbfounded. They had never imagined that a star beast could be so easily eradicated!

Mr. Linchuan was still chatting with the little girl, and in their laughter, the terrifying army of star beasts turned to smoke!

If not a savior, who could it be

At one time, many people bowed to him in submission.

At such a young age, he already possessed remarkable talent and intelligence, surpassing his peers in maturity. This was the product of a harsh life that had forced him to grow up prematurely: "I understand why my mother sent me to you,"

Jiang Wang looked at them with his eyes, burning them with the true fire of samadhi. In a near-effortless slaughter, he quickly supplemented his knowledge of the Star Beasts, casually asking: "Why"

The content within the has been translated.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Ji Huo Yu Xiu said: "You are already so powerful, how terrifying that demon dragon must be Our world is in grave danger now."

"Do you believe in the existence of the Extinction Demon Dragon" Jiang Wang didn't treat her like a child, his question was quite formal.

Ji Hu Yu Xiu said: "You at least have one powerful enemy, in this world."

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

"Then your mother shouldn't have sent you here. Wouldn't it be even more dangerous for you to be by my side" Jiang Wang's voice became somewhat solemn.

"Did you discover something" Jihuo Yuxi asked.

She is very sensitive to other people's emotions.

Jiang Wang also indeed had some findings.

The painted fire beasts in the shrine have already found many corresponding images in the grotto.

After incinerating countless star beasts, he could finally say that these star beasts were not some kind of uncanny phenomenon derived from the Dao. They did not possess the qualities of a Dao body or a Dao principle. It could be definitively stated that these star beasts shared many similarities with the evil manifestation of Calamity Water, but they were not identical.

But this level of similarity is already completely enough to say they are bad views!

Perhaps the difference lies in the distinction between the floating world and the real world, or maybe it's because Jiang Wang hasn't yet "achieved enlightenment" about it.

If we say that the Nether Sky is a bane to the Floating World, and Starbeasts are its eyesore, then perhaps everything can be explained...

It's just that this ethereal and desolate sky dissipates everything. In terms of environment alone, it is far worse and more dangerous than the worldly calamities. Is this the true extent of wickedness in the Floating World

Or is it that the worldly troubles, are already the result of years of suppression and governance by the Xue He Sect, the San Xing Palace, the Mu Gu Academy, and others

Jiang Wang casually clenched his hand, gathering the brilliant and boisterous world of fire into his palm, forming it into a pill.

And within the dark grotto, the multitude of star beasts had completely vanished. All that remained was an emptiness, a vast expanse of night.

“I was thinking about how I could find that apocalyptic Demon Dragon,” Jiang Wang said casually. “If we could find it in advance, it wouldn’t be so dangerous.”

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

With a flamboyant shaman mask, Jihuo Yuxiu said: "He should already know you're looking for him. His silence all this time means he fears you and is hiding."

"He doesn't fear me," Jiang Wang pointed downwards, "The existence He fears is above the azure heavens, or below the Nether skies."

"Have you achieved your purpose of observing the underground cavern" Ji Huo Yu Xiu asked.

"I suppose so," Jiang Wang said.

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

"But you don't seem to want to leave."

"Let's wait a while longer and see. What if more Star Beasts arrive, and we are not able to exterminate them in time If that happens, we risk endangering the warriors here. It would be my fault."

Here is the translated text:

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

Jihuo Yuxiu let out an 'oh' as if surprised that the newly met Linchuan shushu would think like this.

Jiang Wang waited for another quarter of an hour, making sure the grotto was completely silent before leading Jihuo Yuxiu away.

“Uncle Linchuan, how many Star Beasts did you just kill”

3,762 heads.

“The number of star beasts in this massive assault on the Evil Qi Cave is greater than what's recorded in books. Is your sight the key Like bait”

"In the long night, we always walk towards the light." Jiang Wang said as he flew with Jihuo Yuxiu in the high sky, "You asked your uncle so many questions, and your uncle will also test you - your mother is a strong woman, why was she so afraid this time"

The little fire sprite, Yuxi, huddled in her chair, silent for the first time during her conversation with Jiang Wang.

Above, the clouds float and the mountains and rivers below recede at a rapid pace. In the air, Jiang Wang smiles calmly: “It’s okay if you don’t want to say anything, this isn't important.”

He said it wasn't important, and it wasn't entirely to avoid putting pressure on the little girl. After all, the play had already set off to investigate in Fiery Department, so there would definitely be an answer.

>

A gust of wind hit Ji Hu Yu Xiu's face, then suddenly softened, gently fluttering her hair.

Ji Huo Yu Xiu had been keeping her head down the entire time, just before she was about to fall from the general's mansion, she finally spoke. "Because, there really is an apocalypse."

Suddenly the wind ceased, and the two stood suspended in mid-air. The kingdom below them looked like mere pebbles.

"How should I say this" Jiang Wang's voice was soft.

"My eyes can see, everyone is dead, there's blood everywhere... red blood, like rivers."

"Your eyes"

Here's the translation, keeping the HTML tags:

Ji Hu Yu Xiu raised her head to look at Jiang Wang, reaching out to remove the mask. On that rugged and uneven face, her two overly distant eyes, darting left and right, quickly converged together as she furrowed her brow with force!

Her eyes turned a deep, shadowy color in an instant.

As deep as night!

Her eyes seemed to have become abysses of the underworld!

“The day before my father died, I also saw blood,” she stated. “When my cat died, I also saw blood. When my wet nurse died, I also saw blood…”
