Chapter Three: A Journey of Ten Thousand Miles

's cultivation seeds, actually murdered in the Daoist Academy! The wicked cultivators of the left path are so bold! This matter must be thoroughly investigated! The City Lord's Mansion must give our a...At the beginning of the new year, a piece of news shocked the world.

After centuries of dormancy, the sinister cult Bai Gu Dao has risen again. In Qinghe County's Fenglin City within the Zhuang Kingdom, they have opened the gates of hell, unleashing a hundred ghosts to walk during the day. With the Wu Sheng Wu Mie Formation, they sacrifice the entire city to forge the White Bone True Elixir.

This elixir is said to be able to bring back the dead from the underworld and nurture a white bone disciple, achieving peak combat power, thus summoning the white bone demon god into the world.

The Dean of Fenglin City Daoist Academy, Dong A, learned of this matter and thwarted the White Bone Dao's plot. He joined forces with Du Ruhui, the Prime Minister of Zhuang State, to seize the White Bone True Elixir from before the White Bone Demon God and presented it to Emperor Zhuang!

Only now did the world realize that Emperor Zhuang had spent many years in the deep palace, claiming to be cultivating himself, but actually nursing his wounds.

When the new king of Zhuang came to power, the new emperor, Zhuang Gao, was eager to rule well and improve the country. As a result, the country's strength gradually grew.

The State of Yong repeatedly provoked provocations and invaded our borders time and again.

This had been going on for a long time, ever since the founding of the state of Zhuang. Disagreements between Zhuang and Yong had never ceased. Even the border people of Zhuang and Yong were accustomed to this situation. Of course, Zhuang always ended up at a disadvantage.

But unexpectedly, Zhuang Gaoxian was extremely brave and in the main hall he smashed the dragon throne and personally led the army to fight. With the strength of a small country, he raised troops to attack Yong! And he achieved a great victory! He personally killed the general of Yong's border town.

This battle made him famous throughout the world.

This battle brought more than a decade of peace to the border of Zhuangyong.

After the war, Zhuang Gaoxian directly announced his retreat from the world. Everyone believed that he was trying to reach the realm of divine presence.

The court kept the matter of Zhuang Ting's injuries a closely guarded secret. To such an extent that no one knew he had been healing in the palace for so many years.

The reason this news is known to the world, of course, is that it is no longer a problem.

Zhuang Gao Xian swallowed the white bone true pill, not only did his injuries recover completely, but he also achieved the realm of Heavenly Truth in one fell swoop! From then on, he could be called a real immortal of the world!

At that time, the state of Zhuang was engaged in a war with the southern state of Mo. Because Grand General Huangfu Duoming was absent, the state of Zhuang was defeated and had three cities captured successively.

And after the breakthrough, Zhuang Gaoxian personally led his troops, effortlessly killing the leading general of the Mo nation. With the might of Donzhen, he forced the Mo nation to cede ten cities.

For a time, the national prestige was greatly enhanced.

It was the year when Zhuang Gao's ascension to power marked a new era of "Great Ordination." Surrounding nations, sensing ambition in the new imperial year name, began mobilizing their armies and bolstering their defenses.

Therefore, the Dean of Fenglin City Academy, Dong Alì, having achieved great merit in this matter, has been promoted to the Deputy Prime Minister of Zhuang State and become the left arm of Prime Minister Du Ruhui. He holds significant power and is responsible for criminal affairs.

Its status was even higher than that of the Chief of the Censorate.

From being ostracized and excluded from the political center, to now rising rapidly and becoming the hottest official in Zhuang Ting, Dong A's story is inspiring many.

When Jiang Wang learned this news, he had already left Yun Guo and traveled a very long way.

At that time, he was silently drinking in a foreign tavern. While drinking, he mainly listened to the conversations of people coming and going from the tavern to get a general understanding of the current affairs of the world.

Hearing people excitedly discuss Zhuang Guo and some even saying they want to go there to seek their fortune.

Jiang Wang felt no pride whatsoever, instead a chill ran down his spine.

These messages are half-true and half-false. For example, opening the gates of hell and a hundred ghosts walking during the day happened in Xiaolin Town before.

For example, Dong Alì framed Bai Gu Dao for a conspiracy... Clearly it was Jiang Wang who saw through the Bai Gu Dao's conspiracy and reported it to Dong Alì, risking his life to protect their homeland. Yet Dong Alì took advantage of the situation, setting up a plan that sacrificed countless lives in the entire city district, all to seize the White Bone True Elixir for his own advancement.

The chancellor Du Ruhui, the Grand General Huangfu Duoming, and even Emperor Zhuang Gao Xian, all conspired together.

Now they have won fame and the admiration of the world, but who remembers the countless innocent souls lost in the Fenglin City region

At first, one city was destroyed and three cities were captured.

Moreover, while recapturing three cities, they also seized ten more. It seemed like a tremendous victory, with Emperor Zhuang being wise and martial, and his ministers shrewd and insightful.

Is gaining and losing just a simple matter of addition and subtraction

Those innocent people, those citizens who trusted in the state, the government, and the emperor, how innocent they were!

Does anyone remember their so-called "sacrifice"

"Teacher, do you really want to go back to Xincheng"

Jiang Wang got up and returned to the guest room.

After a while, the shop assistant came to clear the table, but he only saw a pile of fine porcelain dust on the surface.

The illusory realm, the blessed land of Donggong Mountain.

After a while, Jiang Wangjing received the slightly plump paper crane from Zhen Wudi.

Upon unfolding the letter, it read:March seventh. Linhai County, Qi State.

The information is unusually concise because Zhen Wudi has been driven mad by his family, forcing him to train relentlessly. Even drinking water is scheduled, leaving virtually no free time at all.

As for Jiang Wang now, he has things that must be done, as well as firm goals and plans.

He wants those responsible for the fall of Fenglin City to pay the price!

But all of this hinges on ability.

And Jiang Wang's first thought was the Heavenly Treasure Secret Realm that Zhen Wudi had mentioned.

This is a test.

Let's see how this works!

After leaving the Fenglin City domain, he sent a message to Zhen Wudi, expressing his desire to participate in the exploration of the Tianfu Secret Realm that he mentioned, and inquiring if there were still any vacancies.

Zhen Wudi readily agreed. Today was the day he received a letter informing him that the opening time for this session of Tianfu Secret Realm had been confirmed. He needed to arrive in Linhai County, Qi State before March 7th.

He still didn't know the specifics about the Heavenly Treasure Secret Realm, but to be valued by someone like Zhen Wudi, a figure of such pedigree, there must be rewards beyond imagination. Of course, danger would never be absent.

This is also why Jiang Wangxian sent Jiang An to the Lingxiao Pavilion.

Qi State was one of the strongest countries in the world, located near the East China Sea. It took seventeen countries and three sects' territories to travel from Yun Country to Qi State.

In this turbulent era, heroes from all walks of life emerge. The composition of the government is also not uniform.

There are countries like the Zhuang Kingdom, where respecting the Dao is the state religion. There are also neutral countries like Yun Guo that exist under the protection of the Lingxiao Pavilion. Some countries practice inclusiveness, with major sects within them competing with each other. Others have powerful governments that strictly control all sects within their borders. There are also places that haven't established nations; instead, powerful sects act as independent states...

From the cloud country to the Qi country, traveling ten thousand miles, the customs and scenery of various places are quite different.

>

Ye Qingyu gave him a cloud crane because his address wasn't fixed. The cloud crane could find its master through their innate connection, but it couldn't search for anyone else all over the world. So he had to take the initiative to write to An An, and An An would reply after receiving the letter.

Whenever Jiang Wang arrived at a new place, she would record the local customs and scenery and share them with An An and Ye Qingyu by letter.

And An An will also talk about her life in the Lingxiao Pavilion.

However, as the distance grew, Yunhe's replies became increasingly slow.

Hello, world!

Jiang Wang didn't rush along the road, but practiced and experienced worldly affairs all the way.

Now that he has honed his skills to perfection, there is no need to suppress his cultivation realm any longer.

His first small Zhoutian was the sun, moon, stars, a love of ideals.

Now, having walked this far, the second small Zhou Tian has been established. It is the mountains and rivers, the path beneath our feet, the changes of time, and the scenery along the way.

During the third small week, he began to think about himself. He thought about the path he had walked, the people he had met, and the things he had experienced. He wanted to ask himself what his purpose was and where he was going.

For Jiang Wang, this was his pilgrimage, but also his cultivation.

He must participate in the Tianfu Secret Realm in the most perfect state.

Not long after exiting the ethereal realm, Jiang Wang suddenly felt as if the entire room had lurched.

Then, a series of bangs! Bang! Bang! Bang!

A low, deep, and reverberant hum.

He finally confirmed that it wasn't an illusion.

Because with that sound, the whole room, no, the entire ground was trembling slightly.

Jiang Wang darted out the window, leaped to the rooftop of the wine shop, and then saw:

A colossal, turtle-like behemoth, with its head held high, lumbered forward, each step causing the very ground to tremble.

How big is this giant beast

Its stout, short legs were taller than the city walls of Jiang Wang's city.

And upon its shell, Jiang Wang saw...
