Chapter 7: Braving Inferno and Mountains of Blades

process is so slow, as if it were demonstrating to the onlookers the etiquette of transitioning between sitting and standing postures.However, as for the two sides in confrontation, how things were ou...Random Recommendation:

Welcome to the sacred land of Donghai Mountain!

"On November 15, 2023, you have officially become the Master of the East Sea Mountain Blessed Land!"

You have obtained one Hun Hai Stone. You may claim it from any Tai Xu Pavilion at your convenience.

“Respected Envoy Taixu, your Hunhai Stone will arrive in Tianfu City, Tai Xu Corner Building, Linhai County, Qi Country within ten days.”

"You have been granted one hour of blessed cultivation time in the Blessed Land. You can either divine through the void and enter a completely realistic simulation of the East Sea Mountain Blessed Land, or you can travel to the real East Sea Mountain Blessed Land and cultivate under the supervision of the Void Phantom Inspector."

“You have gained 100 points of Merit. Merit can be used to manipulate the Tai Xuan Sundial, and time within the blessed land will cease to flow until your Merit is depleted.”

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

“Currently, 100 points of Blessing can support one hour of Blessed Land time consumption.”

“In addition to the monthly fixed output of Fūdì, merits can also be obtained through related tasks in the Tai Xu scroll.”

On the fifteenth day of June in the year 3917, Jiang Wang first came into contact with the blessed land of Tai Xu Huan Jing. He inherited the achievements of Zuo Guanglie's blessed land and became the master of Dong Zhenxu.

But he never truly possessed a blessed land, never gained any output from it. He could only treat his blessings as ordinary "merit" to use...He didn't even know the true name of this sundial.

Because he had never truly achieved victory in a blessed land challenge.

At first, it was "I lost before I even knew what happened."

Later on, he could "barely make out one or two moves".

By the time he reached Jinchengshan from Hanshan Fudi, he could easily control the battle situation and determine the outcome.

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

Jincheng Mountain had already ranked 67th among blessed lands. Unknowingly, it had slipped to the end. He decided to start over and create a unique record for his own blessed land.

From the day she branded her silver moon mark to today, when she truly controlled blessed land, was a full four years and five months.

Speaking of which, this day was quite meaningful.

But the solitary individual who had regained possession of the blessed land, did not immediately set out to experience the feeling of cultivation within the blessed land, nor did they attempt to move the Tai Xuan sundial. Instead, they took out their Tai Xu jade plaque, which was manifested in the Illusory Realm of Emptiness, and directly sent a divine thought through it——

"My opponent in the recent duel had unique circumstances that I believe affected the fairness of the battle. I request that the monitor review this situation."

The battle that just ended was unremarkable, but the opponent's strength is questionable.

It's not that this person is particularly strong, but their power is completely out of proportion to their control. He doesn't even need to lift a finger; just waiting half an hour, and this person will explode from their own power—in other words, this state is impossible in reality. Either they used some kind of life-consuming secret technique, or they took some kind of special medicine.

> However, spells like the Great Chu Dynasty's "Blood Boiling Soul Burning" or the Equality Nation's "Annihilation Technique" are forbidden in the Illusory Realm. Once there is self-destruction to enhance combat power, a direct loss will be awarded if the caster dies. Therefore, in the previous battle, the opponent should have taken a forbidden drug.

In a fair duel within the Illusory Realm of Vastness, using life-consuming secret techniques and ingesting forbidden medicine are unfair acts. They fail to truly reflect the duelist's strength and fall short of the purpose of cultivating talent within the Illusory Realm.

As a servant of the Void, it is only natural to expose unreasonable phenomena and maintain the fairness of the illusory realm.

A calm voice echoed from the jade pendant: "Respected envoy of Taixu, the Taixu Illusionary Realm will immediately begin an investigation. Please wait a moment."

Of course Jiang Wang...

... is not equal.

Reporting is a mere trifle; his time is precious and he won't waste it on futile waiting.

The Tai Xuan sundial stood silently in the void.

Rather than being an object belonging to a space of blessings, it's more like a projection of a great creation.

Beneath the stone platform stand four engraved figures: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. They are lifelike, majestic and full of spirit.

On the stone platform, a sundial is placed at an incline, higher in the south and lower in the north.

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

The gnomon's markings were clear and deep. The twelve earthly branches, Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai, each subdivided into "beginning of the hour" and "middle of the hour". In those indented stone marks, one could feel the passage of time.

And on the outer circle of the sundial, are engraved Jiang Wang's many illustrious titles... already many have been inscribed.

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

The Tai Xuan sundial was surrounded by emptiness, shrouded in shadow. Yet the Tai Xuan sundial itself bathed in light. It was a soft, non-piercing brightness, clearly illuminating the stone platform carvings and the face of the sundial.

In the very center of the sundial, a copper gnomon stands upright, pointing towards the north celestial pole at its top and the south celestial pole at its bottom. Precisely, a vertical shadow falls on the sundial's engraved markings.

Where the gnomon's shadow falls, that is the hour marked.

Jiang Wang casually put the envoy's jade token away, and walked lightly to the Tai Xuan sundial. For the first time, he examined its extraordinary value beyond mere timekeeping.

Reaching out with a hand shrouded in shadow, he plunged it into the sunlit plane of the sundial. He gently pushed back the "shadow needle" that cast its markings.

The wonders of the world have unfolded.

A kind of power, akin to rules, flows in a mysterious and profound way.

When the shadow needle is fully actuated, it can no longer be moved further.

In this blessed space, there were no other changes, but time had stopped flowing.

Jiang Wangxin received the divine meeting, and then raised her hand to press on the sundial. She closed her eyes and silently recited in her heart... "East Sea Mountain."

When he opened his eyes again, the simple and ancient Taixuan sundial was still before him. His gaze swept over the sundial, then to the clear sky and azure sea, stretching endlessly beyond.

Now my body stands on a high cliff, with waves surging all around.

Seabirds soar high in the sky, like clouds adrift.

Everything in the Tozan Fudoki, including its role as a "window" to the fundamental nature of the world, has been faithfully replicated here.

Jiang Wang didn't move, only glanced at it casually before sitting down to cultivate.

He once entered the Jixia Academy for advanced studies due to his military achievements, and he also entered the Si Xuan Palace because of his contributions in fighting against the Pingguo.

A glimpse of the true nature of the universe offered by a blessed land is, of course, far inferior to that of an ethereal paradise. Nonetheless, it is far more valuable than simply sitting idly in the mundane world.

>

The high walls of reality are not something that can be seen through by ordinary eyes. Many divine cultivators have spent their entire lives searching, yet they have never caught a glimpse of the "true" nature of things. Even those who possess enlightenment and clarity can only know it within themselves. However, self-knowledge without understanding the world is bound to be limited.

Being in a blessed land, one only needs to open their eyes and look out the window.

The "windows" of the Donghai Shan blessed land are far less grand and clear than those of the Si Xuan Temple, nor can they compare to those of the Ji Xia Academy. However, their value is undeniable.

Jiang Wangfei wasn't curious about Fudi, but rather cherished her cultivation time.

Time flies.

>

When Jiang Wang opened his eyes again, he was back in the blessed land.

He spent a whole hour cultivating at the blessed land of Mount Donghai, but the time within the blessed land's space was wiped out by a moment. That is to say, if one were to keep the blessed land of Mount Donghai and maintain a harvest of one hundred blessings, then every month they could gain an extra moment to cultivate... It wasn't much, but it was priceless.

Time is too precious a gift.

How does the Illusory Realm achieve this

>

Where does this great power come from

When Jiang Wang first started the Fudi Challenge, he was amazed, but until today, he hasn't found the answer.

The Illusory Realm of Infinity is said to be the creation of the Tai Xu School, but it certainly doesn't belong exclusively to them. To this day, all major top-tier forces in the world have a share in it. In this ever-growing tide of humanity, where will this giant ship ultimately sail

Jiang Wang casually took out the Messenger Jade Plaque, and that calm voice immediately rang out: "Respected Taixu Messenger."

According to the investigator's report, your opponent in the East Sea Mountain blessed land challenge ingested a large amount of pills during the battle, which undeniably affected the fairness of the competition.

Now urgently adjusting combat rules: Ingestion of medicinal pills is strictly prohibited during combat.

You promptly discovered a rule vulnerability, maintaining the fairness of the Illusory Realm of Emptiness. As a reward for your contribution, you have been granted 200 merit points. Thank you for your contributions to the Illusory Realm of Emptiness.

This change in combat rules is not something the Tai Xu School can unilaterally decide on. It requires the consent of all supervising parties. The fact that the issue could be resolved so quickly also demonstrates how much weight the major factions place on the Tai Xu Mirage.

200 merit points are equivalent to two extra hours of cultivation time. This accusation was truly worthwhile.

...just wondering, what would happen when that opponent next time finds more potent pills to enhance themselves and discovers the pills no longer work...

Jiang Wang thought for a moment, then asked, "What are the consequences for the person who just fought me in the Tai Xu Huan Jing"

A voice from above the sundial replied: "The emergence of loopholes in the rules of the Tai Xu Illusionary Realm is a problem with the Tai Xu Illusionary Realm itself. It's not the discoverer's fault, nor the user's fault. The Tai Xu Illusionary Realm has no right to punish."

This answer pleased Jiang Wang more than punishing the opponent.

It illustrates that the current overall style of Tai Xu Huan Jing is closer to Xu Ze Fu rather than Xu Ze Ming.

The Wu'an Hou Mansion was filled with singing and dancing until late at night.

Wǔ'ān Hóu practiced alone until dawn.

The next morning, after finishing their morning prayers, while Chu Yao was practicing standing meditation, Jiang Wang walked out to the front gate. Soon, a carriage bearing the mark of Lao Shan drove up to the gate. The curtains were lifted, and two figures, one black and one white, stepped down.

The white one is Bai Yexian, the esteemed young master from Yue. The black one, of course, is Xiang Qian, a vagrant who wanders about aimlessly.

It's just that Bai Yu's flaw was indeed wearing white, the clothes facing forward, perhaps they weren't originally black.

“With you both having traveled so far, Jiang Mou truly regrets not being able to leave the city to welcome you personally. It's a grave oversight.” Jiang Wang acted politely, making it clear to the servants in the manor that these two individuals were important.

>

He came out to greet him, of course because he was going forward, but if he were just coming to Linzi alone, he would probably not bother to say hello.

This is the end of the paragraph.

Their relationship with Bai Yuxia could only be described as acquaintances. After all, they had spent a few days together at the Xiadi Laoshan hot springs before and learned from each other, becoming somewhat familiar. They hadn't gone through anything major together, so it was out of the question to call them close friends.

As for writing a letter specifically for Bai YuXia, adding the seal of Wǔ'ān Hóu and formally sending it to Yue Country, it was merely fulfilling a previous request.

Toward Jiang, with feigned politeness, he simply rolled his dead fish eyes.

While Bai Yu Xia directly clasped her hands together and bowed deeply: “Lord Hou has avenged my father’s blood feud, please accept Bai Yu Xia’s one bow!”

Jiang Wang hurriedly stepped forward to help her up and said, "There's no need for that!"

Zhang Linchuan spent some time in Yue Country, eventually leaving injured. He had been ambushing them strategically. However, Zhang Linchuan's trip did result in the death of a prominent family head from Yue Country, who turned out to be Bai Yu Xia's father, a fact he only learned later.

Things in the world happen due to chance and circumstance, it's hard to say otherwise.

At that time, he brought Bai Yu Xia down from Tianmu Peak. He never expected Zhang Linchuan, who had initially planned to take things slow, to suddenly jump out and make it a matter of life and death.

The two of them were still pushing and shoving here, you bow I block.

“Alright, alright,” Qian said with a yawn. “Go on in and speak. What would you like to eat My stomach’s growling!”

Jiang Wang then laughed and scolded the steward to prepare wine and food, while he personally led the two people to the front hall.

The Wuanghou Mansion was built under the imperial decree by master craftsmen of the court, further embellished with additions to the east and west by renowned architects like Brother Yan Xian. The layout and decoration are truly impeccable.

But Bai Yuxia was used to riches and comfort, and being messy. She didn't feel anything about it. Jiang Wang was too lazy to introduce or boast anymore, he just led the way quickly into the room. After all, there were some clever decorations that he rarely remembered either.

In the hall, seating was arranged according to rank.

A maidservant served fragrant tea.

When Bai Yu-xia spoke again, Jiang Wang was startled.

“Will you be my squire”

This is not Butler Xie Ping, who was chosen based on his character and personality. Nor is it Fang Yuan You, the commander of the Hou Mansion guards, or a sturdy figure from the army. It's not even Xue Ru Shi, the leader of the old iron cavalry.

What kind of person is Bai Yu Xia

The legitimate heir of the renowned Bai family from the illustrious state of Yue, he possessed a noble lineage flowing through his veins.

Though his father had died, the White clan's ancestral bones were still standing. Looking at the entire world, the Langya White clan was also a family with a certain reputation.

He is himself a player in the Huanghe Tournament main event, a genuine national prodigy!

Regardless of one's status, position, or natural talent, they are far superior to those who came before them.

He Jiang Wang did indeed once claim to be a disciple of Chong Xuan Sheng, and it became a popular story afterward. But to tell the truth, his background was incredibly ordinary, so being a disciple wasn't out of place at all.

But Bai Yu Xia is completely different.

To serve as a disciple with Bai Yu Xia's background and talent, no matter who's disciple one would be, it could be said to be "benevolent condescension"!

Although there were some who said they would be willing to serve under Jiang Qingyang and others who boasted about being the most talented in the world, those people were all precious treasures of their own countries. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for them to truly serve Jiang Wang with such devotion.

The relationship between a guest and the host is one of subordination.

Not everyone is like Chongxuan Sheng, who treated Jiang Wang equally from the start. Nor is everyone like Jiang Wang, capable of growing so quickly.

How many people in the world can compare to the profound connection between Xuan and Shang, who resembled a magnificent pair

"Inappropriate, inappropriate." Jiang Wang waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother Bai is a born nobleman, how could he live under someone like me"

He thought that since Bai Yu-xia had decided to leave Yue country and abandon the accumulated wealth of her family for generations, there must be unspeakable reasons behind it, and it was not convenient to ask further.

Therefore, he spoke sincerely: "If Brother Bai is willing to serve in the State of Qi, I can recommend you. With your character and ability, I won't say you'll immediately receive an important position, but whether it's the military, the Inspectorate, or the local government, you will certainly be able to secure a respectable position."

Bai Yu Xia said: "Yu Xia knows very well that this visit is just because of her relationship with her brother. But the sincerity with which Marquis Wuan treats others, Yu Xia has already felt deeply."

He looked seriously at Jiang Wang: “However, although I have left Langya and decided not to go back, the Bai family is still there. If I directly serve Qi State, the officials of the Qi court will find it difficult to trust me, and my prospects will be limited. My relatives who remain in Langya are also in a difficult situation, and I am uneasy.”

I was pampered since childhood, ignorant of the world and incapable of dealing with mundane affairs.

The only thing I know for sure is to associate with the virtuous and distance myself from the treacherous, and treat others with sincerity.

"With that, he rose to his feet and bowed again: 'Your Lord's character and talent are unparalleled in my life, truly wise! Please allow me, Yu Xia, to serve under your command and receive your guidance, learning a few points of style from you. May I one day be like you, conquering the fates' enemies. Afterward, I will work tirelessly without complaint, braving mountains of knives and seas of fire!'

"

White Jade's words were spoken with the utmost sincerity.

Jiang Wang couldn't help but be moved.

“I cannot possibly accept the title of ‘Sage’!” He stepped forward, supporting Bai Yu Xia with one hand, his grip firm: “If Brother Bai finds you worthy, we can still remain friends, learning from each other and progressing together on this long journey. There is no need to establish any master-disciple relationship.”

“I cannot accept a position without merit. ” Baiyu Xia earnestly said: “Baiyu Xia was born from heaven and earth, how can I accept protection and favor without repaying it If the Lord Hou is unwilling to employ me, Yu Xia is willing to leave now.”

Now Jiang Wang couldn't hesitate any longer.

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

Holding Bai Yu's hand, he earnestly said: "Brother Bai, if you are willing to help, Jiang will be like a tiger with wings added, soaring high. After this, the sky is high and the sea is wide, dare to bind the Azure Dragon!"
