Chapter 88: Endless Sea of Suffering, Heavenly Pride Crosses

tly than to help him fight against Qi. Plus, it would be less trouble."Yin Guan glanced at him indifferently and said, "We are assassins, not bandits."“What’s the difference” Taishan Wang didn’t quite...Random Recommendations:

This time, the Dragon Palace Feast sent out quite a few invitations.

Of course, not everyone who receives an invitation will come.

But given the special nature of the Dragon Palace Banquet, the Six Great Hegemon Nations would naturally not be absent, and all the major powers in the world would at least send a representative.

After all, the Dragon Palace Banquet has always been a grand feast where outstanding talents from all walks of life gather. Those great families and sects wouldn't allow their lineage to be cut off just like that.

So, some people who were previously difficult to encounter also appeared.

For example, there is Nalan Rongzhi, a descendant of the Heavenly Stealing Mansion who appears and disappears like a dragon. His last known appearance was on the battlefield of the Illusory Realm, and before that, no one knows where he went. Even the location of the Heavenly Stealing Mansion itself remains a mystery to this day.

For example, even though the famous swordsman Cui Yi, known as a diligent student of the Qiku Academy and representative of the scholarly school of swordsmanship, has always been spoken of, he rarely appeared in public. He secluded himself in his studies and practice, venturing neither out the front door nor the back, immersing himself in books and sword training, with nothing else on his mind.

For example, there is Chen Pu, the dean of Mu Gu Book Academy, who had a student who was always independent and rarely interacted with others, let alone becoming well-known throughout the world... Her name was interesting, called Ji Li. She also held a white, plump tabby cat in her arms.

Cui Yigeng, Ji Li, plus Zhao Wuyan representing Longmen Academy, and Xu Xiangqian representing Qingya Academy, today the representatives of the four major academies in the world, are all gathered at the Changhe Dragon Palace.

Apart from the regularly scheduled "Academic Voyages" held on top of Book Mountain, it's rare to see all four academies so united.

Of course...whether Xu Xiangqian could fully represent Qianyage Academy is still somewhat controversial.

Although he has been tirelessly promoting it, and now many people know that he “has ascended to the heavens in one sleep”, the leading scholar of Qingya Academy is still the talented man who excels in poetry, music, and swordsmanship.

"Poetry's fame fills the Central Plains, while music from the qin resonates through the Nine Netherworlds."

That's what true elegance is.

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

No mere talented poet who couldn't sell a few collections of poems could compare to him.

Jiang Wang, Ye Qingyu, Xu Xiangqian, and Zhao Wuyan were chatting here. Ji Li, who was thin and dark, walked over with a white, chubby tabby cat in her arms.

"Hello, everyone." She looked particularly at Xu Xiangqian: "This must be Brother Xu, the one from Qingya Academy, right"

With so many people here, and even the renowned Jiang Qingyang!

But who was she trying to pick up!

Xu Xiangqian glanced at Jiang Wang with satisfaction, then, with the gentlest and most polite demeanor he had ever possessed, inflicted a devastating blow on Ji Li: "I'm sorry, I have someone I like."

"Ah"

Not only was Ji Li stunned, but the white tabby cat in her arms also widened its eyes.

This was the most beautiful cat Jiang Wang had ever seen, with a coat that was absolutely perfect. The only problem was that it was so fat! Its sapphire-blue eyes even had a kind of seductive charm.

A cat, with a seductive charm!

Still a fat cat!

"Don't listen to his nonsense." Zhao Wu-Yan, after all, was used to being the elder sister figure. Many things at Longmen Academy were her responsibility. She stepped in to mediate: "Sister Ji Li, if you have something to say, please don't hesitate."

Ji Li held the cat and quietly took half a step back, maintaining a distance that absolutely couldn't let Xu Xiang mistakenly misunderstand anything. Then she said, "I came just to ask... Didn't Master Mo Ci participate in this Dragon Palace banquet"

Like Chen Puhong, a great scholar like this. All the scholars in the Mugu Academy can be said to be his students. Anyone in the world who has read his articles and learned from his thoughts could also claim so.

But there are always one or two who are regarded as successors to the mantle, as inheritors of academic thought, tasked with truly carrying on his ideas and promoting his scholarly ideals. Ji Li is such a student.

Just like Xu Xiangqian is to the great Confucian scholar Mo Ya, Mo Ci is to Qingya Academy's headmaster Bai Geshiao, Zhao Wuyan is to Longmen Academy's headmaster Yao Fu, and Cui Yigeng is to Qinkǔ Academy's headmaster Zuoqiu Wu.

"Ah, Mo Senior Brother,"

Of course Xu Xiangqian wouldn't say he had deliberately written a letter to persuade the three outstanding talents to return, in which he wept and begged them to share a table with him, to drink together...and then be the sole representative of Qingya Academy.

He chuckled without a hint of embarrassment: "Brother Mo Ci, don't you think it would be better to have someone more handsome represent Qingya Academy"

“Okay.” Ji Li nodded, then hugged the cat and left.

She's a real go-getter.

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

“Hey!” Xu Xiangqian curiously asked, “What do you need Mo Ci for I might be able to pass a message on!”

"It's nothing." Ji Li said without turning back, "He repaired an ancient qin score the other day, and there was a mistake in it. I wanted to point it out to him in person."

Xu Xiangqian was taken aback and turned to ask Jiang Wang, "Does this mean she wants to ruin Mo Ci's session"

"Maybe it's just a simple academic discussion," Jiang Wang casually said. "Aren't you also proficient in everything from qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting What about that ancient qin score You chat with her about it and see her attitude, wouldn't that make things clear"

Xu Xiangqian chuckled and said, “This score...”

“The ancient qin scores are not quite the same as modern ones.” Zhao Wuyan took up the conversation: “As for right or wrong, I think it’s more of a matter of concept. The complete ancient qin score restored by the talented Sanjue master that I saw was very well-preserved and integrated, perfectly fitting the times. However, since the original scores are lost to history, tracing back their origins, there can be different developments in certain sections.”

Suddenly, Ye Qingyu asked, "Are you talking about the ancient qin score, The Music of Breaking Through Armies and Battles"

To play the qin for an ox is inevitably boring. Zhao Wuyan was somewhat surprised: "Miss Qingyu also researches ancient qin music"

Ye Qingyu softly smiled and said, "How dare I speak of my research in front of everyone! I've only been interested in music these past few years, so I followed suit and learned a little to amuse myself. The restoration of this ancient qin score by the Three Absolutes Talented Scholar was earth-shattering, causing quite a stir among renowned qin masters. My teacher just happened to mention it, and that's how I started practicing."

In her words, it seemed almost casual when she glanced at Jiang Wang. Her true interest in playing the qin and its appreciation actually began after receiving the charred-tail qin from Jiang Wang. Only then did Ye Gezhu invite renowned masters.

Unfortunately, Jiang Wangzheng and Xu Xiangqian just stared at each other blankly. They failed to understand this kind of romance.

The soldier, the ancestor of the military family.

He was also one of the Eight Sages of Antiquity, the only one who failed to achieve transcendence.

It's not that he couldn't accomplish it, quite the opposite. Many believe he should represent the strongest killing force among the Eight Ancient Sages. Because in terms of combat achievements at the Dao-Deriving level, he far surpasses the other seven sages.

It's just that the military strategy he created made the celestial court of the demon race feel an unprecedented threat.

The supreme demon lord, after finally lowering his arrogant gaze, re-examined the human race he had subjugated as slaves. Among them, a wise man persuaded the high-ranking officials of the celestial court, leading to a shocking event that would astound all ages. Numerous powerful demons took action, and just before their armies marched to the final step, they set a trap to ambush and kill him.

It was Bing Wu's death that sparked the full-scale war between humans and demons!

And the "Bing Wu Po Zhen Le" that Mo Ci repaired is a piece of qin music from the medieval era, a masterpiece throughout history. It was lost during the chaos of the late ancient period and later pieced together by generations of qin masters until Mo Ci completed the final step, restoring it to its full glory.

This song was composed by Emperor Li Shan of the ancient times, written on the eve of Emperor Zhulong's ascension to the throne. It commemorates military prowess and expresses ambition, implicitly alluding to the monumental battle that would soon take place!

Alas, Jiang Wang does not understand the principles of the qin, and Xu Xiang only loves to write poetry. They are unable to feel the charm of this musical score, nor do they know its meaning. It is precisely the name "Bing Wu" that makes them somewhat solemn.

But there are many successors who commemorate their predecessors and cling to their names. It's nothing special.

He still lauds Huangdi!

“Xuan Yuan, Xuan Yuan, Xuan Yuan is in the East and I am in the West. I wish to emulate the wise men of old; Xuan Yuan opened heaven and I will fill the earth.”...from *Shénxiū Shījí*.

In short, it's a mess.

In his opinion, this so-called "Army Attacking Formation Music" was nothing special. He figured it was written by some nobody, and the content wasn't anything like "Charge! Break through! Slay the enemy!" ...Wait Isn't that the inspiration for "Ode to Army Warfare"

"Qingyu Girl is too humble!" Zhao Wuyan said, "Being able to play the 'Music of Breaking Formations' isn't just for self-entertainment. This piece is extremely difficult to play; it requires extraordinary skill to perform it completely. If Qingyu Girl has only been learning the piano for a few years, then her talent is truly amazing."

Ye Qingyu hurriedly said, "No, no, I'm not very familiar with the Lian Shan Zhi Fa yet..."

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

With a look of surprise, he exclaimed, "You've learned the Lian Shan Finger Technique The Seven Chapters of Lian Shan were scattered across the world two thousand years ago. Which chapter have you learned"

They were chatting animatedly, delving deeper into the conversation.

Jiang Wang and Xu Xiangqian stood aside, both with serious expressions, as if they were listening intently and engrossed in the conversation. From time to time, they would also make various facial expressions. Xu Xiangqian's expression was one of "sudden realization," while Jiang Wang's expression was one of "learning something new!"

Secret whispers, leaving no trace as they travel back and forth between two ears.

"What are they talking about What is the Lian Shan Zhi Fa"

"You ask me, I ask who"

"Aren't you a student of the academy"

"You still think you are the king of kings!"

"When you were in Linzi, didn't you often go to Hongxiu Pavilion to listen to the qin"

They all went to Red Sleeve, who the hell is actually listening to the music!

Jiang Wang had no words in response, so he simply opened his mind and observed the other people in the Dragon Palace.

Continuously, prodigies were entering the arena, and for the most part, he had met them all.

After all, the path of cultivation is long and fraught with obstacles. Among the myriad beings, only a handful can ascend to great heights. Those who seek opportunities, enjoy resources, and socialize within the same circles are bound to intersect.

Some people would come over to greet him specifically, such as Yi Tang, the "Little Holy Hand" from Renxin Guan.

Some people also turned a blind eye to him, such as Xie Junmeng of Dongwanggu and Yu Xiaocheng of Xuehe Sect.

The former had been beaten up by him, needless to say. The latter was a direct disciple of Peng Chongjian, who had become the Blood River True Monarch, and he had also risen in power.

Ginger faintly heard the conversation between Lan Longzhi from Stealing Heaven Mansion and Cui Yi from Diligent Study Academy about the Illusory Reality of the Void. They discussed the influence of Xu Ze Ming's incident and debated whether the Illusory Reality of the Void was still reliable.

They, these direct disciples of the great masters, always have access to information sources. Their understanding of the illusory realm surpasses ordinary people. Each has profound insights.

In not much time, Xie Junmeng also joined the discussion, using rather strong words and a rising volume, gradually attracting more discussion.

Well said!

Suddenly, a loud shout came from the front gate of the palace.

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

Zhong Shan Wei, a distinguished figure from the Kingdom of Jing, strode into the room. After listening for just a moment, he excitedly joined the conversation, saying: "The Illusory Realm is extremely dangerous, and the Tai Xu Sect is incredibly irresponsible! This thing should be abolished! What kind of nonsense is this It offers absolutely no privacy!"

He was too angry...

The illusory realm, for some reason, wounded him so deeply.

Xie Junmeng, clad in a green robe, glanced at him and, seeing his status, reluctantly agreed to let him join the discussion. He asked, "Is there no privacy in the Illusory Realm of Taixu Where did Brother Zhongshan get this idea from"

Zhan Shan Wei Sun hesitated for a moment, waved his hand and said: "I can't say too much about this. Just know that it's not reliable."

At this time, Yu Xiaocheng from the Xuehe Sect walked over and initiated another round of discussion: "The Taixu Sect had some problems when it was founded. That Taixu True Monarch..."

Along with Zhongshan Weishun, Huang Sheli walked into the hall.

She was goal-oriented and completely uninterested in the rambling chatter of Zhongshan Weishun and the others. Zhongshan Weishun was just too talkative, and he ran rampant in the virtual reality realm, insulting anyone he pleased. That's why people guessed his true identity. Of course, they hadn't been able to confirm it completely before...

As soon as he entered the main hall, Zhongshan Weisun first focused on gathering sound, catching snippets of conversation from the crowd to quickly grasp the situation.

And Huang Sheli first swept his gaze across the entire venue, scrutinizing every corner.

This is the end of a paragraph.

Ugly, average, so-so, failing, watchable...

Upon seeing Jiang Wang, his eyes lit up. Upon seeing Ye Qingyu, his eyes shone even brighter!

No matter what Zhongshan Weixin said or did, he went his own way and headed straight here.

"Ginger Immortal!" she greeted enthusiastically.

Suddenly, she called Ye Qingyu back from her discussion about music theory with Wu Yan.

Two beauties with distinct styles, having passed by Jiang Wang, made eye contact at this moment.

Ye Qingyu looked at Huang Sheli with a wary gaze.

Huang Sheli looked at Ye Qingyu with eyes full of joy, and her voice was enthusiastic: "This sister is so beautiful! What's your name Where do you live How old are you Are you married Do you have a sweetheart"

As he spoke, he leaned closer and reached out to embrace her, "Don't you think we've met somewhere before"

Jiang Wang strode over, bending gracefully to meet her outstretched hand. He gave it a gentle shake. "Long time no see, Shi Li!"

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

His footwork was skillful and his moves precise, but what Huang Sheli admired was obviously not that. His smile was bright and joyful, and he repeatedly said, "Long time no see, long time no see."

Jiang Wang pulled her over to the side without a trace, keeping a distance from Ye Qingyu. He asked with concern, "Why did Sheli Gu come so late"

Huang Sheli gazed at Ye Qingyu, sending her countless love glances. His hands clenched tightly in his lap.

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

Happiness almost overflowed from my mouth. My eyes lingered, unwilling to tear away, and my hands did the same. It was breathtakingly beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful!

"Beauty is so far away, isn't it It's a long way to Jing Nation."

She turned her head and glanced at Jiang Wang, finding that Ye Qingyu was more beautiful when she wasn't fighting. Afraid of missing out, she quickly turned her gaze away, casually saying, "Actually, I'm also looking forward to seeing Immortal Jiang soon."

She wouldn't even bother with ordinary people! Let those who are ugly try it

Beside them, Xu Xiangqian and Zhao Wuyan exchanged confused glances — who on earth was this Huang Sheli interested in

The official appearance of Zhongshan Weishun and Huang Sheli as the hegemon nation's proud sons seems to have opened the curtain for the entrance of other hegemon nation's prodigies.

Not long after, the prodigious talents from Qin who participated in the Dragon Palace Banquet arrived. There were only two of them—Huang Bu Dong, known as "the Little Old Man," and Qin Zhi Zhen, widely recognized for his profound foundation.

The former was still in front of the Cave of True Dharma, yet he had not attained its true essence.

The latter has proven the presence of the divine and truly grasped the power of the King of Hell.

Dressed in a black martial arts uniform, he exuded an air of composure and strength. His bearing was naturally imposing. With just a fleeting glance, his eyes landed on Jiang Wang, and then he walked straight towards him.
