Chapter Eighty-Three: Hegemony of the Future
gqi flag, and second, he was very interested in Yin Wenhua's Twenty-Four Solar Terms Sword.The audience members were still a little worried that Jiang Wang wouldn't achieve his goal and felt a tinge o...Damn Nalan Rongzhi!
The Taixu Jade Pendant is not an ordinary object; it is a non-existent, non-real embodiment of the void. It is more accurate to say that it represents rules and power than to call it a jade pendant.
It's not easy to steal.
All sorts of tangible objects, even those hidden away in storage boxes, could be taken.
Qin Zhizhen, who possesses the divine power of refining emptiness, can easily invade storage pouches. Let alone Qu Shunhua, who wields the power of Heaven's Embrace, she could directly move a storage space at will. Zuo Guangshu simply couldn't hide his private money.
This code will print out the string "Hello, world!" to the console.
But the Taixu Jade Amulet usually doesn't represent physical objects; it symbolizes the key and the right to access. How do you steal something like that
Stealing the Tai Xu Gouyu is like someone breaking into Jiang Wang's Tongtian Palace and stealing his condensed Sun, Moon, and Stars Small Zhoutian. It's impossible to accomplish such an outlandish feat without a unique Dao principle.
More importantly—just a very short time ago, outside Xueji City, Jiang Wang still used the Taixu Gouyu to move the Taixu Pavilion. In the blink of an eye, the Taixu Gouyu was stolen again
Having had a previous experience of being stolen from, he had heightened his attention to the Taixu Jade Pendant. Moreover, during this period, he had been constantly by Xie Ai's side!
Who can be so skillful, appearing and disappearing without a trace
Only the Heavenly Vault's Thief, Lan Rongzhi!
One cannot be both, can one
The last time it could be considered a joke, but this time, it's clearly a calculated move, deliberately making him Jiang certain person suffer.
What kind of bad taste is this
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This is unbearable!
But at this very moment, Master Jiang needs to face the problem at hand.
He hovered menacingly above the rapidly changing Frost City, facing countless kings, ministers, soldiers and generals within its walls.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Much like one man against an entire city.
A middle-aged man in a frost-patterned robe walked step by step, facing the void: "Master Jiang! I am Bishop Dong Zai Shen Ming Shi. I have long admired your name! The Xue Guo blooms in seven days. You are visiting the Xue Yu Capital now. Is it too eager"
There was more than just Shen Ming Shi in front of him.
And atop the Frostwind Citadel, with stars seemingly gathering around him like a halo, stood the man in dragon robes, gazing out at this scene! The Sovereign of the Snow Country and current Pontiff of the Rimewinter Sect, Hong Xingjian.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
This man has deep features, thick eyebrows and a dense hairline. He is truly a cultivator of great power, and he shoulders the weight of the snow country's national strength. His bearing surpasses even that of Shen Ming Shi by a great deal.
The rumbling Frost Citadel, like a colossal warship, carried him ever upwards into the high heavens.
> More powerful crossbows and catapults are set up on high walls, horses run across the battlements. Elite troops stand in formation on the wall!
"I misunderstood!" Jiang Wang exclaimed, "The Tai Xu Pavilion stands for the public good, and I, Jiang, am a man of integrity with both sleeves clean, always neutral! This trip is only to admire the scenery of the Snow Country, not to involve myself in its affairs!"
After throwing him down, the Winter Emperor vanished without a trace. Now, there wasn't even a hint of his presence left. Jiang Wang didn't mention him or Nalan Longzhi, lest he get entangled again.
Coming to Extreme Frost City wasn't his intention. Explaining this unexpected situation would suffice. Now that I think about it, had he successfully activated the Void-Transcending Distance just now, this subconscious reaction might not be as delightful. It could easily raise suspicion among the people of the Snow Country – might Jiang Wang have gleaned the secrets and gone back to call for reinforcements
"This celestial canopy of clouds and mist was opened by another, I merely stumbled into it." Jiang Wang arched his hand towards the high heavens: "If your esteemed nation finds this intrusion objectionable, I shall retreat three paces!"
Shen Ming-shi frowned: "What shouldn't be seen, Jiang Zhenren has already seen it. Leaving like this is probably inappropriate...."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"With Jiang Wang's name, I pledge to you." Jiang Wang said loudly, "Before the snow country affairs are settled, everything I see and hear will remain a secret from others!"
Shen Mingshi said in a low voice, "Master Jiang's reputation is well-known throughout the world, and I firmly believe it! But when we are dealing with important matters, how can we not be discreet and thorough, relying on others"
Jiang Wanglian removed the polite smile from her face and lightly brushed her sleeve: "What, do you still want me to stay"
“Xue Guo is unwilling to be enemies with Daoist Jiang.” Shen Ming Shi's expression was very serious: “We just want to invite Daoist Jiang into the city for a sit-down, and wait until after seven days—”
Jiang Wang glanced at the heavily fortified snow-covered capital city. It seemed like a giant beast taking to the sky, about to choose someone to devour. He interrupted,
What if I said no
Shen Ming's world is going to do something big, and he can't be trusted. How could he possibly enter a den of tigers and risk his own safety by trusting someone like Shen Mingsi whom he doesn't know
Under normal circumstances, no one would dare to touch the members of Tai Xu Pavilion. But the fear is that someone might go mad.
Shen Ming shi took a step forward: "Please do not make Shen difficult for me—"
A burst of sword qi fills the sky!
Let this snowy sky, seem as if the old veil has been pulled down and a new one draped over it.
>
“No problem!” Hong Xingjian, standing on the city wall, waved his hand: “Since Master Jiang wants to observe, then observe. Our grand undertaking, will it be seen by people Master Jiang! On behalf of Taixu Pavilion, come and witness the ambition of Winter's Edge!”
Shen Ming shi stopped.
Jiang Wang merely smiled faintly and soared into the sky a thousand zhang: "I look forward to it."
It seemed as if the sword energy just now filled the sky, but it wasn't him.
The Winter Emperor wanted him to stay, and Nalan Rongzhi also wanted him to stay. He was no match for them, so he had to stay. But he had already made up his mind to not participate in anything.
As Xie Aishou said, the five cities undergoing transformation right now are like five coffins.
What is different about these five coffins
As the capital city of the snowy region, Jiuxu City's coffin represents the most important one.
Looking back on history, Hong Junyan ascended the throne in Jidi City during the 34th year of Daoli. This marked the official establishment of the Snow Kingdom. This period predates both Jingguo and Chuguo; its longevity surpasses even that of Qi Guo, which boasts a mere two thousand years of history.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
And it closed its borders upon founding, and throughout the 3,892 years of history that have passed, it has only ventured east once, encountering resistance from the Kingdom of Jing.
Apart from several times supporting the Northwest Five Nations Alliance, it has hardly experienced any large-scale battles in the real world.
... to the extent that countries around the world's understanding of the Snow Country is still less than the details of the Asuras on Yu Yuan's side.
"The world considers the Snow Country a mysterious nation, longing to glimpse its beauty but unable to. Therefore, the knocking at the door grows louder, more urgent, and closer!"
Please note that I have only translated the content within the > tags, as instructed.
The hearts of the great powers desire to open up Xuelu [Snow Region], and the thoughts of all under heaven are focused on this! Hong Xingjian stepped onto the high wall, his robe fluttering: "This mysterious nation is now ready to open its doors. Jiang Zhenren! As a member of Taixu Pavilion, a person who navigates the waves at the forefront of history, can you tell me——but is this world now ready to welcome it"
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wang didn't expect to feel like she wanted to retreat to the ends of the earth. As a pure spectator, she shouldn't even have been involved in the question-and-answer session.
But this question is indeed interesting.
At this moment, he represented not only himself but also the attitude of Taixu Pavilion. Therefore, he spoke in a loud voice: "The present world is so vast that it can accommodate any ideal and any kind of power. This world is certainly ready to welcome Xue Guo, including Xue Guo and any other party. But the prerequisite is—you come to embrace it, rather than harm it."
"Of course, we are very willing to embrace this world! The past was like this, the present is like this, and the future will be like this!" Hong Xingjian waved his hand grandly, smiling into the wind, as if he were truly embracing the world.
The imposing form of Extreme Frost City froze in mid-air.
Jiang Wang turned his eyes in all directions, seeing the four other cities pointed out by the Winter Emperor, which were also now flying in the air, suspended motionless.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
They were precisely at the corners, anchoring the four sides, evenly encircling Frostfang City in the center.
A massive snowstorm sweeps across the snowy kingdom, wildly surging celestial energy. The terrifying power surges like a tsunami.
I, with Imperial decree, summon back the heroic spirits. Cicadas shed their shells anew, and old souls awaken! Hong Xingjian shouted, "Prepared for battle at dawn, we rest in the frost. My Snow Country warriors, this is our time to fight!"
Boom Boom!
Bang bang!
The vast snowy expanse seemed to beat like a drum.
>
Bang bang!
Bang bang!
Jiang Wang gradually realized that it wasn't the movement of a dragon turning over, but rather a powerful, slowly reviving...heartbeat!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If the snow country were a giant, it is waking up now!
Although Master Jiang stood alone in the high heavens, only his blue robe moved. But his perception had spread out, his eyes were as white as snow country, his ears like those of Guanyin, capturing all sights and sounds.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Hong Xingjian let him witness it, so he looked at it carefully. What was this "Winter's Mighty Scheme" all about!
>
The entire snowy realm is undergoing drastic changes, not just in terms of vitality, territory, and power, but also in the intertwining of past time and space with the present, creating ripples of spacetime with each collision!
Above Xueji City, which belongs to the Shuanghe Sect, white mist first churned and rolled, transforming into a dragon shape. On the dragon's ridge, there was a phantom bearing a huge ice coffin.
The cold dragon bore the coffin, and gradually became clearer.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Then the Mist Dragon solidified into an ice dragon, its ice coffin exquisitely crafted. Carved upon it were scenes depicting a miniature version of the entire Frostmoon Temple district.
The ice coffin was not completely transparent, only showing a heavy black shadow within, but its inner workings remained unknown.
But a terrifying aura had already begun to spread, and flakes of ice fell around the coffin.
That terrifying heartbeat, within this icy coffin, had a concrete point of reference, becoming incredibly clear.
In the city of Xueji, Wei Yu, who once made it to the main street, had bravely fought his way back to Taixu Corner Tower, and brandished his sword at the gate: "This is Taixu Corner Tower, the foundation of the Taixu Illusionary Realm. Jiang Wang and the members of the Jiang Ge are here practicing their Taoist techniques as witnesses! Everyone, please stay calm during the battle! If you dare to destroy Taixu Corner Tower, you will be betraying the grand plan of our race for millennia and will be hunted down by all parties!"
Please note that I can only translate the text content within the tags. HTML tags themselves are not translated.
The disciples applied deceit, taking advantage of the hatred inherent in Tai's phantom pond. They falsely claimed to have mastered the essence and presented it as evidence for their claim:
The Taixu Corner Tower has been completely surrounded.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
The pavilion where I once sat and discussed Dao with Master Jiang, was like a lonely boat amidst a vast sea of people.
From the gate of Taixu Corner Tower to every street extending throughout this city, one can see rows upon rows of armored soldiers!
Their helmets obscured their expressions, but the cold glint in their eyes beneath the metal was noticeably hesitant.
As if an ice layer had just been broken, the flow of water was gradually becoming lively, but it wasn't yet fully vibrant.
This is a bunch of soldiers from over three thousand eight hundred years ago.
What a grand scale in the snowy country!
Although Wei Yu had expected this, he was still stunned by what he saw.
Now the Snow Country has two powerful armies, known as Xue Ren and Lin Feng. These are armies that have been forged in the fires of battle within the Yu Yuan for a long time, capable of competing with any great power.
...And this time, with the wide-open policy, Xueguo is about to unveil its plans from its founding to now….Who could have predicted that in these three thousand eight hundred years, they have concealed how many soldiers and horses Historical records state that Yu Daoli's eleventh year was when Tang Yuzhi, the first emperor of Jing, defeated Hong Junyan, who fled back to his country after being injured. There he died from illness, right
>
So many people are freezing!
Lü Kuiwu, if you have the guts, come for a one-on-one duel! No matter what year's frozen meat you are, I'll show you the prowess of today's peerless genius! Let all of you understand, what it means to be destined to win in the present!
At the critical juncture, Wei Yu disregarded her aristocratic upbringing and let out a desperate cry.
Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
Lü Kuiwu wasn't present at Tai Xu Corner Tower at all, so of course he wouldn't respond. Only the countless soldiers, like a resolute tide, surged into the tower wave after wave.
"Master Jiang! I know you have excellent hearing, you must be able to hear me!" Wei Yu blocked the door with his sword, slashing at the soldiers one by one, shouting loudly: "Come and save me quickly, I will never forget your kindness!"
After a pause, he added: "I will give everything I have to repay you!!!"
Far outside the Frost City, Jiang Zhenren's ears twitched... Hmm
But the unparalleled martial arts of a real person had yet to unfold, when a male voice arose, covering all the sounds in Jieling City and burying Wei Yu's cries for help. The voice was muffled, low and heavy —
“All this talk is meaningless. Let me just say, you are a descendant of Wei Shu! I still remember some things from our friendship back then!”
That's the voice from that ice coffin!
Here's the translated text:
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
What era's monster He actually knows Wei Shu
Wei Yu was a good listener and immediately shouted, "I am the descendant of Wei Shu! I am a direct descendant of Wei Zu!"
"He's a descendant of the Wei dog!" The coffin lid flew open with a bang, and a bald giant clad in heavy armor rose from within, roaring with rage, "It was he who wounded me back then, forcing me into slumber!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Wei Yu immediately locked the door and remained silent, cursing inwardly.
After the layers of clouds covering the snowy region were pushed aside, that brilliant sun shone directly in the northwest, making the land shine like gold for thousands of miles.
At this moment, it echoes as if in the blazing sun, Fu Huan's voice spreads with the sunlight —
Wei Qingpeng! Don't toy with youngsters, wasting time!
The first generation patriarch of the Winter Paradise, Zhenjun Wei Qingpeng!
Those who followed Hong Junyan and Fu Huan in establishing the Xueguo back then, after Hong Junyan's death, also fell in Yu Yuan shortly after.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Unexpectedly, he wasn't dead at all. Instead, he had been slumbering in the Xiejic coffin for three thousand eight hundred years.
"Big Brother Fu! I slept for such a long time!" The bald giant laughed, placing his hand on the edge of the ice coffin and stood up. With that, the ice coffin shattered! The Frost Dragon's eyes suddenly blazed with flames, its dragon pupils shining brightly as it let out a long roar!
Wei Qingpeng reached out a palm, pressing towards the city of Zidong.
A beam of extreme cold, straight and piercing, shot through the Winter City like a spear, lifting up the phantom of another ice coffin. A frost dragon carried this coffin, its aura magnificent, like an immortal descending to the world.
It's quite a drama!
Xie Ai and Nalan Longzhi wouldn't let me leave, they wanted me to...or rather, they wanted Tai Xu Ge to see this
Jiang Wang's heart moved, and she gripped the physical object in her palm once more. Her connection to Tai Xu Pavilion and her understanding of the Tai Xu Illusion returned with renewed clarity. The Tai Xu Jade was back!
But the eyes still held no trace of Nalan Rongzhi.
There was no sound of Nalan Rongzhi left in her ears.
He recklessly stole the Tai Xu Jade, then quietly returned it, as if he had never been there at all. His actions and intentions were completely incomprehensible. Like the celestial treasury hidden in history, appearing and disappearing without a trace.
The spectral silhouette of an ancient attic, descended from the void.
Jiang Wang didn't say a word, and first summoned the Tai Xu Pavilion floor to avoid being unable to use it when needed.
Standing on the roof's eaves, like a patch of azure feathers. Relying on the power of the Celestial Treasure, countering the powerful auras rising and falling within the Snowy Country.
Now, looking back at the city of Zidong, one could see an ice coffin being pushed aside. A young man, resembling a scholar, rose from within it. He stretched lazily before leaping out gracefully and walking along the dragon's ridge, standing between its horns.
He casually glanced around, then drew a folding fan from behind his neck. In this icy and snowy landscape, with the biting wind, he opened it with a "snap."
>
There was no poetry or painting on it, only three words written: his name—Meng Lingxiao!
Active from the period of 1200 to 1500 AD, he once fought against Xuyuan and had a discussion about Daoism with Wu Zaixue, a top-ranking master.
Time flies, and everyone thought he had died of old age.
Who would have thought that he would actually cultivate the Deranged Dao, yet end up frozen in an ice coffin, only to be reborn today!
This is a "surprise" that spans time and space.
The "Longevity Palace" in the Nine Palaces of Immortals is truly a master of celebrating longevity!
Meng Lingxiao rose from the ice coffin, his posture casual as he fanned himself with a folding fan. A gust of cold wind materialized and pierced through the void, landing in the city of Frost Spirit.
A gentle breeze swept across everything, bringing life. This single gust, it seemed, had brushed away the dust of history.
Above the city of Frozen Souls, an ice coffin also appeared, carried by a frost dragon.
The cold wind swept in, lifting the coffin lid directly, but inside, it was empty!
Has something gone wrong with the Snow Country plan
At this moment, the Snow Country monarch Hong Xingjian looked up at Jiang Wang again: "Master Jiang, be sure to see clearly and record everything truthfully."
Jiang Wanglue thought for a moment and cautiously said, "Recording history is not my responsibility, and I don't even have the scholarly knowledge of a historian."
He then reached up into the attic and pulled a person out of thin air!
Zhong Xuan, who had always been known for his long beard, calm demeanor, and steady nature, was suddenly pulled out.
This historian, dressed in a slightly disheveled long robe and with a brush-pen dangling from his hand, the handle adorned with bamboo shavings, had a look of innocent bewilderment in his eyes — what was going on How could he have been summoned during this once-a-month Void Distance ritual "Having received approval from Dao Master Tai Xu, I've urgently requisitioned your assistance," Jiang Wang pulled him up to the attic and patted his hand.
Come and watch the big show with me!
Zhong Xuan was just about to say something.
Over there, Hong Xingjian had already flown high into the sky. He pulled a gigantic ice frost chain from within the city with his backhand. The chain clanged, it was unclear what it connected to, but his voice boomed across the snowfield: "This is a national formation known as the Winter Cicada! It was created by the Taizu Hong Junyan of our dynasty! In those days, Taizu set his grand ambitions. He did not strive for dominance in one moment, but for hegemony in the future! Therefore, he stationed 3,800 soldiers for three thousand eight hundred years, locking powerful ice-dwellers within snow coffins. The Snow Country used its limited resources, accumulating over time, to achieve the foundation of hegemony—the Winter Cicada's hibernation. For four thousand years, it remained silent. Today, with a single cry, let the world know!"icked up a shard of the blood robe that represented the sect leader of Xue He Sect. His eyes were filled with sorrow and pain: "The number one true master of moving mountains, who even against Xiang F...
