Chapter 354: Contending for the Title
nto a celestial star python, it soared through the dome of the Heavenly Palace.At this very moment, a dragon's roar echoes.Jiang Wang felt as if his entire spine, like a great dragon, had been pulled...The world is vast, so vast that even extraordinary cultivators sometimes find it difficult to reunite after parting ways.
Last year, we parted ways outside Fenglin City. He declared that he would continue down the path of invincibility.
And the first route was — "Head west to X Qin and settle Kunlun."
Jiang Wang witnessed with his own eyes that once Xiang Qian used the sword formation, it was simply beyond description with the word "terrifying." It was a move that could use the cultivation of the Tenglong realm to separate the four images with swords and disrupt the attacks of cultivators outside the building.
Within the Dragon Soaring Realm, he truly couldn't help her find an opponent.
The way of the flying sword is ultimate in strength and sharpness. Life and death are intertwined within a single blade, truly unmatched in its lethality.
In the glorious silhouette of the flying sword era, my swordsmanship also ranks among the top three flying sword techniques.
Even without employing the sword formation, simply relying on the dragon's light to fight, at any time and in any place, possesses an invincible presence within its realm.
But speaking of which.
Even the invincible Dong Zhen was defeated by Feng Qi, and he died in the process.
How far can one travel forward in the Dragon's realm, and who could possibly know
Although he encouraged her to move forward and cheer up as a friend, he wasn't sure himself whether pushing her to strive would be good or bad for her future.
I can only say, we all walk the same path, but with our own intentions.
Under the "escort" of Yue Leng and Li Youjiu, Jiang Wang finally returned to Linzi.
They all need to report their travel experience to Qi Ting.
However, Yue Leng and Li Yougui's reports were primarily directed to the Ministry of Political Affairs, while Jiang Wang's reports mainly went to the Inspectorate.
Even with a skillful administrator like Zheng Shi, it's impossible to make powerful figures like Yue Leng and Li Youjiu completely submissive. He often had to coax them into doing things. It was only thanks to the Qí state's system that he could direct Li Youjiu, who was still in office, around – this is also why the position of巡檢都尉 (patrol inspector) was restricted. The limitation on cultivation level was a limitation on the power of the position.
"The most important affairs of a nation are religion and war."
The grand scale of the Yellow River confluence, of course, is a matter of national importance.
The Ministry of Government Affairs was directly in charge of this matter. Therefore, all the high-ranking officials, including advisors and even the Prime Minister, were very concerned about the participants who would be sent to the Yellow River Conference.
As soon as Yue Leng, Li Youjiu, and Jiang Wang arrived in Linzi, the three of them separated.
But as for how to report, they seemed to already have an unspoken agreement—though they had never actually discussed it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Yue Leng and Li Yougui certainly will emphasize Jiang Wang's awareness, diligence, and quick wit in the face of danger while describing the unwavering spirit of the "equalitarian traitor."
Jiang Wang will emphasize in the event description that Yue Leng and Li You were diligent and protective, doing their best to fulfill their duty, even though they didn't catch the culprit in the end. They still prevented Pingdanguo from taking advantage of the situation...
They are all intelligent people and would not lie in this situation. But sometimes there's no need to lie, just a slight shift in emphasis can convey a completely different meaning...
All in all, good to see you, good to see me, good to see everyone.
I just briefly translated this for now.
But the lingering fear from that night in Starry Moon Origin had momentarily dashed Jiang Wang's desire to "travel".
He didn't know if the mysterious powerhouse from Pingdanguo, outside of Xinyuan, could once again ensnare him with Xinglou. But such a terrifying powerhouse, if it set its sights on him, had countless unimaginable means at its disposal.
Even with the chants left by Master Guanyin to rely on, he had no need to risk it.
Or perhaps, as Master Guanyin said, we should focus on improving our cultivation to address the root cause.
For a while after that, there were only some scattered small matters. Nothing major happened within the Qi territory. As for the rest of the world, I wasn't concerned with it at the moment. Honestly, preparing for the Yellow River Assembly was the most important thing.
In the Xiashan Temple, he, Chongxuan Sheng, and fourteen others were diligently practicing.
Outside the Xiashan Guest House, Linzi was still bustling with activity, and people lived their lives as usual.
In the illusory realm, his sparring with Ning Jianke continued. The latter displayed new sword techniques, winning back several rounds. Only after mastering them could he regain the upper hand.

Occasionally, I also sparred with Zuo Guangshu, helping him refine his water techniques. In the process, Zuo Guangshu's own genius and the insightful vision of the renowned Left Clan of Chu inadvertently provided beneficial inspiration for Jiang Wang's fire techniques as well.
Besides, there is the Fortune Land Challenge on June 15th...
All Jiang Wang could say was that he had accumulated another experience battling a strong opponent.
Of course, he also fell from the forty-fourth mountain of Tongbai in Fudi to the forty-fifth mountain of Pingdu. He only produced 370 points of merit each month. If he hadn't already been first in the Taixu Huanying inner mansion, winning more than losing, this amount of merit wouldn't be enough to consume on the Jiantai (sword platform).
The value of cultivating such power is so insufficient, and there are so many strong people flocking to it, which makes him even more interested in the secret of the blessed land. Unfortunately, due to his strength, he can only watch helplessly.

Zhong Xuan practiced in seclusion, staying home and not seeing anyone. It is also likely that he was diligently cultivating himself during this time.
While Ji Zhaonan went to the Realm of Illusions, he became widely renowned.
The realm where he arrived happened to erupt in the War for Domination. He directly charged into battle alone, slaying a two-character rank Duke of the Sea Clan. The number of slain Sea Clan commanders and generals was immeasurable. He took first place on the June's Haixun List!
He earned over 100,000 sea points and became a Tier 3 Sea Knight.
Speaking of it, he's only one rank higher than Jiang Wang on the Hai Xun Ranking. It seems like they are not too different in strength.
>
However, the difference lies in...
Wei Haishi's honor is now an embellishment to Jiang Wang's prestige.
As for Ji Zhao Nan, his very presence demonstrated the weight of this honor. A figure like Ji Zhao Nan, who ventured out to sea and single-handedly beheaded a Sea Clan Royal Duke, staining his youthful brilliance with blood, yet remained only a Tier 3 Sea Guardian... could it possibly be insufficient to illustrate the magnitude of this honor

Time flies by unknowingly during his arduous practice.
In the arduous training of celestial prodigies from various nations, amidst expectant or apprehensive gazes...
The time for the Yellow River Gathering has finally arrived.
Linzi City was always bustling, but today it was particularly noisy.
Especially the main road from Xicheng to "Li" Gate, both sides were crowded with pedestrians.
The city guard troops lined up in a long line, barely managing to create a clear path.
There is no other, today is another day when the great Qi warriors go out to fight.
A hundred and eight city gates in Linzi, the convoy heading to the confluence of the Yellow River was going through the "Li" gate.
In a situation like the confluence of the Yellow River, ordinary countries would only need to summon courage and fight valiantly.
Even a powerful nation like Qi should, in addition to "might," also possess "decorum." When displaying bravery, one must also show respect.

The state of Qi was known for its martial prowess. A duel organized by Xuan Sheng could earn him a fortune, as can be seen.
In Daqi, whenever a large army went out on campaign, send-offs were thronged with people, all hoping for a triumphant return.
This time, the team from Qi who went to Guantái was extremely impressive in terms of their formation.

The three national prodigies who participated in the battle need no further introduction.
The leader was the General of Nine Troops, Cao Jie, who commanded the army of the deceased Spring Lord.
And accompanying them was an army of two hundred Tenglong Realm cultivators, including two "Team Leaders" from the Inner Mansion Realm.
They were all elite soldiers drawn from the Tianfu Army, honed to bolster Qi's prestige. Each one was tall and imposing, not only in terms of strength but also in appearance.
Those who can be chosen are naturally extraordinary.
Here's the translation:

Only the Heavenly Canopy Army could field such a detachment of soldiers.
To know, cultivators of the Tenglong Realm level, even in the elite Nine-Legion Army like Zhan Yu Jun, are qualified to compete for the position of commander. Here, qualified means having reached the threshold for promotion. To truly achieve promotion, one still needs sufficient merit.
When the rhythmic beat of hooves, like a drum, like a heartbeat, approached from afar.
On both sides of the road, the bustling chatter of the people seemed to be stifled by a chilling aura, slowly subsiding into silence.

Tap! Tap! Tap!
Three national prodigies, riding horses at the forefront of the procession, were greeted by the gaze and blessings of all the people of Linzi.
Jì Zhāonán, clad in frost armor and a snow robe, rode a pure white horse, standing between the three.
There is no one like Jia, and there is no one like people.
The silver gun hung at his side, its cold gleam threatening to pierce the tiles.
Whenever his star-like eyes swept over a place, girls there would find it hard to breathe. At the moment their eyes met, they almost suffocated.
The white-clad Chong Xuan, as pure as snow, is standing at Jian Zhao's left.
He rode on a "black cloud treading snow".
This horse is all black, except for its four white hooves.
His captivating charm had already won over the city of Linzi.
His nose is a picturesque mountain peak, his eyes are nebulae of ink and stars, with a faint smile playing at the corners of his lips. He is no longer distant in the clouds, but truly here, among the people of this world.
On Ji Zhaonan's right was Jiang Qingyang, who had already become famous in Linzi last year.
Having defeated Wang Yiwu in the same realm, he could be said to have risen to prominence by stepping on the reputation of this unparalleled figure throughout history. He has become the focus of attention for the people of Qi.
If few people actually witnessed that battle.
Then, the "Indomitable Martial Arts Arena" battle that followed attracted a huge crowd.

The unparalleled genius of the Lei family, Lei Zhanqian, who was known as "the only one who dominates the world," was easily defeated by Jiang Wangyue, a cultivator of a lower realm. This news spread throughout Linzi almost instantly.
Many people whisper that Lei Zhanyuan being able to make the final list for the Yellow River Conference and battle Jiang Qingyang again must have used some backdoor connections.
After all, the Palace Master of Changsheng Palace, Jiang Wuqì, had a good reputation. Not many people dared to spread rumors about him. It was said that it was just the Lei family's own shamelessness...

Defeated decisively, Lei Zhanyan truly had nothing to explain. He could only shut himself indoors and diligently cultivate his skills.

At this time, Jiang Wang rode a fiery red steed, positioned on the right. His posture was straight and firm, his expression calm and composed.
The sky-blue martial uniform was clean and neat, with only a simple white jade pendant hanging at the waist.

His eyebrows and eyes were initially just pretty, but after experiencing wind and frost, they were honed into some edges.
Though she was not as peerless in beauty as Ji Zhaonan, nor as breathtakingly elegant as Chong Xuanzun.
But he had his own composure.
His eyes were so clean, it was hard to imagine that after going through so much, he could still have such innocent, childlike eyes. And his slightly pursed lips seemed to describe every moment along the way when he refused to back down.
The nose is high and straight, the face peaceful and resolute.

He looked so sincere, with a kind of aura that was very reassuring.
You can always trust him.
You can always trust Jiang Qingyang!
Riding side-by-side with the two peerless prodigies, he stood out with his unique charm, not yielding an inch in splendor.
Behind them were two squadrons of cavalry from the Heavenly Covering Army, each man armored and helmeted. Even their steeds wore armor. The gleaming metal plates reflected the sunlight brilliantly.
After the hundred cavalry, there was Cao Jie, commander of the army of spring death.
It neither seeks to overshadow the three outstanding figures of each country nor aims to hold a commanding position in the "central army."
Even an army of just two hundred soldiers has its own regulations and system. Famous generals throughout history, at any time, have always respected "war" itself.

After Cao Jie, there were only a hundred cavalry left.
The iron cavalry are linked together.

Two "squad leaders" of the Inner Mansion realm, behind the armor-clad hall.
This is a line break.
The horses they rode were all fine stallions raised in the Imperial Stables.
Each one was tall and strong, all descended from demonic beasts, and well-trained. When they fought in earnest, they were no worse than ordinary cultivators from wandering sects.
They work together with the knights, truly becoming one, their combat power nearly doubling.
Of course, the stronger one is, the stronger steed they need to accompany them.

> Even though Yang Jiande's mount, a divine steed renowned throughout the land, was strong enough to carry him on the battlefield of Qiyang, it was still merely a tool that allowed him to focus all his power and strength into one decisive attack.
If you want to amplify Yang Jiande... that horse can't do it.
The mounts of the guard cavalry were all so magnificent.
>
Among them, the mounts of three national prodigies, such as Jiang Wang, were especially extraordinary and outstanding.
Before their expedition, the Emperor Qi had already decreed to bestow these three divine steeds upon them.

The original words are: "Reward bravery before the time of rewarding achievements."
The well-read Ji Zhao'nan and Chong Xuanzun were both delighted, let alone Jiang Wang.
In his view, his own fiery red horse was even better than Li Jiajie's "Go Black".

There is a small matter that can reflect the youthful minds of these three national prodigies.
They each gave the horses names...
Zhong Xuan's horse was named "Snowy Night," a very evocative name.
In the dead of night, only the snow beneath their feet was white, a fitting image for this horse.
Jiang Wang also put a lot of thought into it, thinking for a long time, and named his fiery red horse "Yan Zhao".
This divine steed, when it ran, was like a blaze of fire, swift and dazzling.
Ji Zhaonan was very serious about choosing his name. At the time, he was at the Imperial Stable and he paced around that tall white horse for a good half incense stick of time.

...And finally, his horse was named "Xiao Bai"...
This mighty army marched down the road. The people along the roadside were all silent, only sending them off with their eyes.
For centuries, the people of Qi had sent their warriors off to war time and again.
Some warriors returned home victorious, while others died far from their homeland.
And the Great Qi Empire, through these repeated campaigns, accomplished the feat of dominating the eastern regions.
This city, this nation, can be even greater!
All the people there firmly believed this.
They believe they are living in a great era, in a great empire.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
They were especially proud of being people from Qi.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The hooves beat a steady and rhythmic sound, the soldiers marching forth with unwavering determination and courage.
When those three national prodigies, having ridden to the gate of "Li," were about to leave the great city of Linzi.
Silence was broken in an instant.
It's unknown who uttered the first sound.
Second tone, third tone...
From the city gate, the sound stretched all the way to the end of the long street...
From the avenue in front of the gate inscribed with "Li," the sound spread throughout the entire mighty city...
regardless of gender or age.
All the voices of the people of Linzi converged into one.
That voice was clear and grand, dispelling clouds day by day, shaking heaven and earth.
That voice only said —
“Fight for the top!”
Henceforth, let us strive for the top.
