Chapter 77: Journey in the Mortal World

he winter of the fourteenth year of Yongtai, the country lost its territory, and I lost my people.The heavens hate me, and the people grieve for me.The blame for this lies solely with this one person!...There was a heavy silence at the dinner table.

The liquor in the ice cup, like a cold flame flowing, tinged people's expressions with a bit of intoxication.

The theft of the Void Jade wasn't a big deal, because the members of the Void Pavilion were all registered under the name of the Void Dao Master. But how should he open his mouth now

Xie Ai looked at Jiang Wang, and Jiang Wang looked at Xie Ai.

Time seemed to stand still.

>

"I need to explain something to you," Jiang Wang said calmly. "This is the third time I've met Lan Longzhi. The first time was on the battlefield in the Illusory Realm, and the second time was in the Dragon Palace. In both previous encounters, we didn't even speak. I have no idea why he came to Xueguo, or what he intends to steal from you. Jiang is most disgusted by those who act like thieves. If I catch him again—"

“Sir” A waiter from Xian Lou walked over, holding a small box in his hand. “A guest asked me to give this to you at this time.”

Jiang Wang and Xie Ai remained silent, both knowing what was inside the box.

In the shop boy's eyes, there was no sign of Xie Ai. He only saw this tall young man in a blue shirt, jade crown holding back his hair, white sword hanging at his waist, sitting upright alone... There were two cups of wine before him. This person looked carefully ahead, but there was nothing there.

He looks pretty good and his clothes are stylish, but why does he seem mentally ill

The shop assistant muttered to himself as he put the box down, then hurried away in three steps and two.

Jiang Wang casually opened the box and took out his missing Tai Xu Gou Yu. He also saw a note at the bottom of the box. It was written in childish handwriting:

>

"Just kidding, don't mind it."

It seems Nalan Rongruo wasn't just a coincidence.

This is a placeholder for a paragraph of text.

Before he could sit down, his own Taixu Gouyu had already been stolen.

This trip to the snowy country seems to be getting more and more complicated...

"This note," Jiang Wang asked, "did he write it to you, or to me"

Xie Ai looked at him faintly: "I can't afford to joke."

"That was written for me." Jiang Wang casually burned the note, carefully checking the Taixu Gouyu to make sure there was nothing wrong, before picking it up and showing it to Xie Ai: "Let me reintroduce myself, Taixu Pavilion member Jiang Wang, meet the Winter Emperor."

His previous explanation may not be able to persuade Xie Ai.

But he really didn't need to explain too much.

While the Taixu Pavilion's strength is far from that of the original Taixu Sect, its advantage lies in the support it receives from all corners of the world at this time. Holding sway over the human race is the foundation for solving problems.

After a moment of silence.

Xie Aido said: "The Tai Xu Corner Tower is in Xiejibing City, you came to the wrong place."

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

Jiang Wang put away the jade pendant: "Since I could see the Winter Emperor, it wasn't a mistake to come here."

“Still wrong!” Xie Ai said, “The grand schemes of the world, I am too lazy to consider. National decisions, I have always only executed, not inquired about. If you wish to represent Tai Xu Ge and say something, you should find Fu Zhenjun.”

Jiang Wangdao: "I believe you're still here not just because Nan Lan Longzhi has escaped. Besides Tai Xu Jiao Lou, there must be something else we can talk about."

Here is your translation:

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

Xie Ai's face showed neither joy nor anger: "For example"

Jiang Wangping extended his right hand, and a ball of benevolent good fortune azure cloud appeared on his palm. Above the azure cloud, miniature palace complexes were held aloft. Though now only slightly larger than his palm, their intricate details were clearly visible.

“The Cloudtop Immortal Palace” Xie Ai remained unmoved, only saying, “You were able to repair it to this extent, that’s not easy. It seems your tavern in Xingyueyuan is quite profitable.”

Baiyu Jing Restaurant was packed, and while making money was a given, supplying the repairs for Yunding Fairy Palace was simply out of reach. The changes to Yunding Fairy Palace over these years were all thanks to Zhenren Jiang's tireless efforts across the myriad realms – every brick and tile earned back through hardship, details too strenuous to share with outsiders.

“We’re still a long way from being repaired,” sighed Jiang Wang. “Myriads of years have passed, and the Immortal Palace has become but smoke and dust. Now, Yun Ding Immortal Palace has no neighbors, and there are few old friends among those who practice immortal arts. It is truly desolate!”

Since Jian Xie Ai didn't respond, he took over the conversation himself: "You have ascended to the peak twice. You must be the reincarnation of the Frost Immortal King. The Frost Immortal King back then fully restored the Winter Palace and reigned supreme throughout the land. Do you have any experience you can share with your junior"

Xie Ai said in a soft voice, "It seems that although you have the inheritance of the Immortal Palace, you don't really understand the Immortal Palace at all, and you don't understand me either."

"How do you say that"

"What kind of relationship do you think there is between the Nine Great Immortal Palaces"

As soon as Xie Ai raised this question, Jiang Wang immediately understood that the so-called Nine Great Immortal Palaces were not what he had imagined as "united as one, creating a brilliant era together." Instead, they were probably quite the opposite – constantly fighting and attacking each other. Just like the major hegemonic nations today, they all strive to become the sole "Emperor of the Six Harmonies."

"Your Majesty Winter Emperor," Jiang Wang said seriously, "Even though the Nine Great Immortal Palaces are each other's sworn enemies, and you once killed me, that was all history, dust in the past. They are just lonely ghosts from an ancient era. Even if we don't stand together as branches of the same tree, at least we should mourn the death of a fellow rabbit when the fox dies. Help find a way out for the Immortal Palaces, it is not helping me, but also helping yourself. If you want to rebuild the Frost Immortal Palace again, I am happy to contribute my strength."

“A very persuasive argument. But as I said, you don’t understand me.” Xie Ai remained unfazed and said: “Although I successfully reincarnated, retaining most of my memories and successfully awakening is already a blessing. A lot of knowledge was left in the Source Sea and dissipated, irretrievable. It's not that I don't want to help you, but for the matter of rebuilding the Immortal Palace, I don’t remember anything, let alone how to do it.”

"Oh...I see." Jiang Wang played with the Immortal Palace in her hand.

He needed to confirm if Xie Ai was the reincarnation of Xu Qiudi. This secret of the fairy palace was the best way to do so. Because it was a hidden secret lost to time, only shared by inheritors of the fairy palace, and he had an actual fairy palace that could verify its authenticity!

But by saying just "mourn for me," Xie Ai lost a lot of knowledge in reincarnation, and this can indeed be explained. After all, no one knows what the process of reincarnation is like, and it's impossible to ask Xie Ai about the secrets of her past life.

The person before us is the first successful reincarnation in history. They possess a legendary aura, having returned from the Source Sea, and naturally hold the authority to explain the concept of "reincarnation."

But no matter how one explains it, no matter how reasonable it is, without the explanation of the celestial palace mystery, Jiang Wang could not accept this Frost Immortal King's identity.

As Jiang Wang was deep in thought, Xie Ai said again: “However, I can help you see what your Immortal Palace is lacking. You’re right, nowadays, the inheritors of Immortal Palaces are all lonely spirits. We should light some fires for each other. But the knowledge of the Immortal Palaces has been lost too much. I only have some remaining impressions, which is enough to do this.”

“Wake up and listen! Ask questions anytime!” Jiang Wang roused Baiyun, the child spirit who had lingered in Wufu Hai.

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

Bai Yun Tongzi is a being similar to a fairy spirit, and it also retains many fragments of lost memories from the Xian Gong era. Jiang Wang does not intend to expose it in public, so he positions himself as an intermediary for knowledge. When Xie Ai narrates, he occasionally conveys Bai Yun Tongzi's questions, pretending they are his own thoughts.

"Let's not dwell on the problems of Yun Ding Xian Gong. I've shown you what I know about it, and that's all I can see for now. To me, Xian Gong is a relatively unfamiliar place."

Bai Yun Tong Zi also confirmed in the Five Bureaus Sea: "Immortal Master, this woman is telling the truth, many things I understood incorrectly. After hearing her speak, I remembered! Who is this woman Can she say a few more words Are there any fairy spirits on her side Call them out to play together—

She really knows the fairy palace, which may explain that she is indeed Xu Qiudici's reincarnation.

A prodigious genius of the Inner Palace Realm who was cleaved in two by Zhao Ruocheng's sword at the confluence of the Yellow River, upon turning his head, he awakens his memories. In a very short period of time, he makes rapid progress and, through a closed-door cultivation battle that leads to enlightenment, ascends to the path of transcendence once more. Besides reincarnation of an apex powerhouse, there is truly no other explanation.

But Jiang Wang still wanted to know, beyond the hidden secrets of the Immortal Palace, how did the Snow Country confirm Xie Ai's reincarnation identity

He was also curious about the details of the battle in which Xie Aicheng attained enlightenment several years ago.

In a snowy country, it would be impossible for anyone to seal themselves off and pursue Fu Huan's disciples—unless they had received direct permission from Fu Huan himself. So what caused Fu Huan to change his stance

These are definitely not things to ask Xie Ai.

"Your guidance has been incredibly beneficial to me!" Jiang Wang repeatedly expressed his gratitude: "Just this advice alone makes my trip to the northwest worthwhile."

"I hope you haven't come here in vain. I hope the scenery of the snowy country, the food of the snowy country, and the people of the snowy country are what you cherish most, rather than the vanished fairy palaces that have been lost to time."

"The scenery of a snowy country is indeed enchanting!" Jiang Wang paused, intending to embellish it with some beautiful adjectives.

"Forget it," Xie Ai had already raised her hand to stop him. "You can achieve such a high realm at such a young age. You're not the type who would stop to admire the scenery—just say it, what do you need from me If it's about the Immortal Palace, you didn't have to come today. There's no difference between coming to me or Qin Guoxu Wang. We're not close with you at all. Even he has a complete Cause and Effect Immortal Palace in his hands, so he knows more about the Immortal Palace than I do."

To bluntly say "we're not familiar" is really a bit hurtful.

The present-day members of the Jiang family are no longer what they used to be. It's like they haven't heard anything. So, let's cut to the chase: "I once received guidance from the True Monarch and practiced at the Dragon Gate Academy in Xueling Mountain. My name is Wu Yan. At the beginning of this year, I was bound by a Dao cocoon and have been unable to escape since. Does the True Monarch know about this"

"I know." Xie Ai did not dodge, saying calmly: "I have seen the mission in the Tai Xu Scroll."

That was an unexpected answer from Jiang Wang: "The Taixu Scroll"

“So I’m saying you have the wrong person.” Xie Ai's voice was cold and distant: “In the entire Snow Country, there are no more than three hundred people using the Tai Xu Fantasy Realm right now. I am one of them.”

Jiang Wang asked, "Do you mean that Fu Zhenjun refused the Tai Xu Huan Jing"

Xie Aido said: "You have two eyes, you have two ears, you can see and hear, but sometimes they can deceive you."

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

She calmly looked at Jiang Wang: "Just as you asked me about something faceless, have you ever thought why Yao Fu didn't come Is it because he is not as skilled as you, or less renowned than you, or does he not feel the same way about faceless as you"

Jiang Wang was unable to answer this string of questions.

And Xie Ai continued, "He knows everything you know, and everything you don't know. Do you think you are especially intelligent"

At this moment, Jiang Wang saw a deathly chill in the sorrowful and fragile beauty.

But he just calmly looked back.

>

He didn't think he was especially smart.

He just needs to find the truth.

"A word of friendly advice." Xie Aido said.

Jiang Wangdao: “Please speak.”

"The Immortal Palace is not the future," Xie Ai said. "You are already standing at the forefront of time, yet you turn back to rummage through the past. This is truly unwise."

Then Xie Ai disappeared.

Just like the ice beneath our feet had already melted into the ground at some point.

Jiang Wang let go of the Tai Xu hook jade in his palm, and also stopped summoning the Tai Xu Pavilion.

He knew this was both an announcement and a boundary. Out of respect for the identity of a member of Taixu Pavilion, Xie Ai stopped here. Xie Ai no longer mentioned Zhaoyu, perhaps out of unwillingness, or perhaps because it was unnecessary.

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

He had to admit that Xie Ai's words made a lot of sense.

If Xie Ai's point-by-point criticism of being faceless had a problem, Yao Fu would have come to her door long ago.

The content inside the " > " tags is empty. Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

But this couldn't shake his thoughts at all. Yao Fu was Yao Fu, he was himself. Yao Fu had reasons to be unwavering in his belief, and he also had his own doubts and contemplations.

Yet, this wasn't enough to fully convince him.

As for Xie Ai's final "good advice"...

Today, no one can influence his path.

In the vast and endless starry river, with a heavy breath, Jiang Wang strides forward, stepping toward that boundless universe.

Of course, this is the Illusory Realm.

He, by virtue of his status as a member of the Tai Xu Pavilion, ascended to heights inaccessible to ordinary Tai Xu practitioners: "Member of the Tai Xu Pavilion, Jiang Wang, requests an audience with the Grandmaster of the Tai Xu!"

In the vast expanse of nothingness, a faint voice echoed: "State your purpose."

Jiang Wang raised his hand and took out the Tai Xu Hook Jade. This object could travel between illusions and reality, a treasure that allowed passage between both: “My Tai Xu Hook Jade was stolen just now, and I don’t know if anyone has planted any schemes within it. Therefore, I come to report it and ask the Daoist Master to check it, so as not to allow outside enemies to take advantage of the situation and sneak into our Tai Xu Illusionary Realm!”

Members of the Tai Xu Pavilion held esteemed status and wielded great power, but in Jiang Wang's eyes, nothing compared to the chance to converse with the Lord of Tai Xu Dao. This being was practically transcendent; a single word from him was worth more than a million worldly treasures!

In principle, the Patriarch of Taixu Dao is absolutely neutral, absolutely fair, and absolutely emotionless. It's impossible for him to play favorites or show any special treatment to anyone. There are no personal feelings towards members of the Taixu Pavilion either. But... as long as the sun continues to shine, you can feel its warmth. It all depends on how you choose to utilize it!

The safety of the Illusory Realm, how could the Lord of Vast Nothingness disregard it

As expected, as soon as the words left his mouth, a ray of light descended and enveloped the Tai Xu Hook Jade.

"No trace of any means was found, it is safe." Taixu Daozhu's voice rang out.

"Such an important Taixu Jade Pendant, and I lost it so carelessly, causing the Taixu Mirage Realm unnecessary risks. My insufficient strength is truly shameful!" Jiang Ge criticized himself harshly, then said: "But cultivation isn't achieved overnight. My strength can't be improved instantly. Dare I ask the Taixu Daoist Master, is there any way for me to better safeguard this object I mean—suitable secret techniques would also work."

A cold, distant voice echoed in the void: "Even if the Tai Xu Jade is lost, it will not affect the Tai Xu Illusory Realm. It only affects your own authority."

“Such a great influence!” Jiang Wang exclaimed, “This will prevent me from better serving the Taixu Pavilion and hinder the development of the Taixu Illusionary Realm! Respected Dao Master, this matter must be considered. We absolutely have to find a way to prevent the Taixu Jade Amulet from being stolen.”

The Void Dao Master responded, "This is your responsibility."

This will simply return the content of whatever is inside the tags, without any additional formatting or context. Let me know if you have some text inside the tags that you'd like me to translate!

Jiang Wang was not discouraged. He continued, "Lan Rongzhi's intentions are unclear, it's hard to tell if he is good or evil. Perhaps he stole more than just my Tai Xu Gouyu. Daozhu, could you please check his current location and what he has on him If any of our things are missing, we must get them back."

The Void-Conquering Lord replied, "I have no right to interfere with the mortal world."

“I’m sorry,” said the cabinet member.

The voice of the Tai Xu Dao Master disappeared directly.

After finishing a pot of wine and cleaning up the snow-country delicacies they had ordered, Jiang Wang paid and left Xian Lou. He walked alone down the icy street lined with ice sculptures.

There are too many questions in my mind, and I need too much information.

Unfortunately, Tai Xu Daozhu was too inflexible and couldn't help him figure out what Nalán Lóngzhī had actually stolen. That stolen object could definitely have provided a lot of information about Xie Ai.

Now I can only rely on myself...

In the snow country, he was a stranger and this was an extremely closed-off nation. If he started building an intelligence network now, it's likely that by the time the Tai Xu Pavilion members finished their term, he wouldn't be able to obtain the information he wanted.

Snow flies on the icy street, a solitary figure in green walks alone.

Jiang Wang stood with his hands behind his back, a translucent amber held in his fist. Its inner light flickered constantly, and sound waves rippled through it like the sea.

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

It is not merely a spiritual realm, but a world.

After three years of secluded cultivation, the Three Realms became truly unified.

This speed is unprecedented in history, and it must be rare.

Now Jiang Wang once displayed himself throughout the Three Realms, even he himself found it difficult to describe his own power.

Even in a vast country like Xue Guo, the only ones who could pose a danger to him were Fu Huan and Xie Ai. In the boundless snowy region, there were only these two people.

In the Cloud Peak Immortal Palace, Bai Yun Tongzi climbed onto the roof of the Yunxiao Pavilion and looked up at the sky. The dome of the Five Oceans Sea was now densely covered with stars!

He grinned, taking in the beauty of the scene. He knew it was the immortal's divine thought.

At this very moment, within the entire Hanhuacheng, countless voices surge forth, an endless stream of information flowing through the vast Xiannian galaxy. Xiannian analyzing information at lightning speed, like stars twinkling!

In the heights of the boundless starry river, stands a phantom of an immortal. Wearing dazzling divine garments, their majesty is boundless.

>

A myriad of stars twinkling together is undoubtedly a sight unseen in the mortal world. After witnessing it once, Baiyun Tongzi couldn't help but long for it.

This is a test sentence.

Excellent wind and snow, a real person travels the world!

This is the end of a paragraph.

Overlooking the ice city Fei Bai, this is truly a beautiful snow scene.

Jiang Wang walked alone among them, adding a layer to the snowy landscape.

A single stroke of the brush, a mere glimpse of green, and across the street it's complete. The figures in the painting are beyond human comprehension.

Jiang Wang was doing something very simple and stupid at the moment.

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

He was gathering information from the hundreds of thousands of people in all corners of Hanhua City at this very moment, extracting what he needed from the deluge—a monumental task, for the vast majority were trivial and useless tidbits like "Have you eaten" or "What a lovely day."

Even the true spirit of a person cannot be dealt with alone.

That's why he activated the Immortal Art: Star River of Celestial Thoughts.

When he traveled across the heavens and myriad worlds, listening to the subtle whispers of the vast cosmos, this immortal art helped him capture too many valuable clues.

But it wasn't until a deluge of complex and overwhelming information surged forth, causing the celestial thoughts to flicker rapidly, that he remembered he had overlooked some issues.

For example, does he truly understand the meaning of idioms like "dragons and snakes mixed together" or "a motley crew"

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

For example, can he truly face the evil of humanity that occurs every moment

For example, in snowy countries, there are special men's buildings...

Compared to the desolate star fields deep in the universe, human life is far more complex.

Bai Yun Tongzi only saw the Xian Nian Star River flicker and flash, flashing faster and faster. He was overjoyed and clapped his hands in applause.

His immortal master, however, on the cold ice street, his face kept flickering between pale and red.
