Soon, the news that the Tangs had been eliminated by that man spread all over the entire Realm of True Force. People were especially shocked when they learned that man was Jiang Chen’s younger brother.
When they learned that he was avenging the Red Flame Battalion, many forces could not sit still anymore, including the Dragon Rebel Kingdom, the Shangguans, the Mad Dragon Dynasty, the Tianyi School, and other forces who had attacked Jiang Chen together with the Tangs in the Holy Martial Arts City.
Back then they had antagonized Jiang Chen. Seeing his endless potential, they were afraid he would become too strong in the future. So they decided to try to get rid of him. However, they failed. Jiang Chen went to the Three Middle Realms. Some people of these forces could not sleep well at night. They did not feel relieved until they had heard about Jiang Chen’s death in the Three Middle Realms.
A guy like him, arrogant and unbridled, certainly won’t have a long life. They thought, gloating and feeling grateful to whoever had killed Jiang Chen in the Three Middle Realms. However, a few people also heard how Jiang Chen had been killed. Scared out of their wits by the story, they did not dare laugh at him at all.
A year had passed. Everything was fine. People thought Jiang Chen had become history. No one had anticipated that he had a younger brother, who suddenly showed up and killed many people. He even looked down on the Ancient Race and killed so many Holy Wings. That was not all. The storm of the Tangs had not blown over, when the troubles with the Golden Eyes had begun.
The Golden Eyes announced to the world that they would live in seclusion and would not show up anymore. People were shocked, trying to guess the reason behind it. Announcing they would live in seclusion at this moment was like announcing they had been disqualified. Some people supposed it was because of the Martial Divinity Herb, but, if that was true, that would mean the Golden Eyes had confessed. The Golden Eyes could not have been so stupid.
Soon, more news came. It was said that the Golden Eyes had been attacked by one person and suffered a great loss. Even their most valuable treasures were robbed. The Golden Eyes were greatly weakened, so they had to live in seclusion.
“There are so many strong people.” First it was Jiang Chen’s younger brother. And then it was this amazing guy. It was really surprising. It was worth mentioning that according to hearsay, that person was Jiang Chen’s father, Jiang Qingyu—a strong man who eliminated the Sacred Martial Arts Institute with one sword attack. However, no one believed it, since it was quite impossible. Numerous people had seen Jiang Qingyu fall to the ground in the Holy Martial Arts City. People assumed it was because he had exhausted all of his vitality to exert that sword attack. As a result, people tended to think this was only a rumor started because of Jiang Chen’s younger brother.
No one believed there could be such a coincidence. First the younger brother appeared, and then the father. Wouldn’t Jiang Chen leave the Realm of True Force in peace even though he was dead?
…..
Back to Jiang Chen, he returned to the Holy Martial Arts City after eliminating the Tangs. He had planned to visit his old friends in the Flying Dragon Dynasty, but then he settled on a meeting with his father here instead. He had heard about what had happened to the Golden Eyes. His father’s success made him relieved. He also felt proud of his father.
“Son.” This day, Jiang Qingyu’s voice was heard in the room Jiang Chen was staying in. He opened the door excitedly. Jiang Qingyu was standing in the doorway in a white robe. His hair was as black as ink. He looked transcendent and extraordinary.
“Father!” Jiang Chen greeted him excitedly.
Jiang Qingyu smiled. Walking into the room, he said, “I’ve heard about the Tangs. You eliminated the whole family…”
Jiang Chen lowered his head, as if he was a child who had done something wrong.
“So, you’ve grown up.” However, Jiang Qingyu suddenly changed his tone. It was quite surprising. He sounded very emotional.
Jiang Chen first felt surprised, but, at second thought, he had to admit his father was right. Since he had been possessed by demons, he had experienced a lot of changes. Keep your family out of the trouble you get into. Answer resentment with justice; answer kindness with kindness. That was what he believed before. However, after numerous collisions with big forces, he came to realize it was difficult to judge personal grudges.
When a big force did evil, those who did not seem to be involved but did not try to stop it also benefited from those evil things. They had been living a happy life since the evil had been done, but their happiness was based on numerous other people’s tragedies. They had no right to claim that they were innocent at all. However, since Jiang Chen had a sense of propriety, he only killed the primary members.
Jiang Qingyu did not want to keep talking about such a heavy topic. He flipped his hand palm over. Suddenly a golden light appeared. The temperature in the room soared.
“The Golden Wheel of the Sun?”
Jiang Chen started to size up the Ancient Race’s treasure. As the treasure of the entire race, the Golden Wheel of the Sun was small and exquisite. It was only as big as the palm of a hand. However, as experienced as he was, he saw endless lore and energies contained in this small thing.
“Son, will I be able to maintain this status with the help of the Golden Wheel of the Sun?” Jiang Qingyu said. His body did not have any vitality, but his soul was still complete, and he could move at will. It was not fair to say he was dead. Jiang Qingyu was kind of obsessed with the power he had by then. However, life is not always what we want it to be.
Shaking his head, Jiang Chen said with pity, “The Golden Wheel of the Sun can’t devour you because of the great power of divine blood. It’s a delicate balance. But this balance can be broken easily, because, father, your body is in danger. I sealed the last bit of vitality you still have. Otherwise your body would have decayed. The seal will be affected when you use the Golden Wheel of the Sun. I’ve already noticed it’s getting weaker.”
Then Jiang Chen let his father lie down. He acupunctured his father again to extend his life and strengthen the seal.
Jiang Qingyu perceived the change of his body during this process. He realized how unrealistic his thoughts had been. Then, the father and the son started to talk about the Desolate Spirits in the Desolate Forbidden Land. Each Desolate Spirit could live for several days. As long as they accumulated enough of them and injected them into Jiang Qingyu’s body, his body would come back to life again. If they really could achieve that, Jiang Chen would be going against nature.
“I should go in person,” Jiang Qingyu said.
“Father, it’s very dangerous for people who don’t know any thunder methods to travel through the Desolate Forbidden Land. And it’s impossible to kill Desolate Spirits smoothly either.”
“I see…” Frowning, Jiang Qingyu hesitated. He did not want his son to take the risk, but this was the last resort. “Illuminate a constellation palace before you go,” Jiang Qingyu said. In this way, the risk would be reduced.
Shaking his head, Jiang Chen said, “Father, I need scriptures. I don’t know how long it will take me to collect all of them.”
“You want to collect all of them?” Jiang Qingyu was surprised to hear that.
Then Jiang Chen told him about the divine body and his work on the Four Qi.
“Son, you’re even madder than me. I only worked on two kinds of Qi at once.” Jiang Qingyu was almost speechless.
Jiang Chen was suddenly pleasantly surprised. Something occurred to him.
“I have the methods to work on Xuan Qing Qi and Xuan Kong Qi. I let you take part in the Great Competition of Three Realms back then, because I needed more time to illuminate the First Constellation Palace.”
Then Jiang Qingyu told Jiang Chen about the methods without any hesitation. Jiang Chen was extremely excited. It was a surprise that the problem that had been bothering him could have been resolved in such a dramatic way. However, it was a pity that they were only practicing methods. He still did not know any attacking methods.
