Chapter 2033: Be Careful | Red Heart Survey [Translation]
Red Heart Survey [Translation] - Updated on May 2, 2025
Because I am very satisfied, I can leave with peace of mind!
Under the battlefield where the star light hung low, everyone was silent.
From the distant ancient past, the upper ancient, the middle ancient, the near ancient, and now to the present world. How did the forefathers forge a path through thorns, how did the pioneers cut through brambles, only then do we have today’s extremely prosperous era for the human race, dominating the present world and suppressing all heavens and ten thousand realms!
How can those who come now bear this responsibility lightly?
Evil ghosts’ heavenly way is like wind blowing sand, majestic dragon demons are like turning a book’s page.
The struggle that has been entangled in this floating land world for tens of thousands of years has come to an end in this manner. “Little friend, be careful!”
Suddenly a sharp warning, accompanied by a group of terrifying black shadows pouncing closer—
That is a majestic mysterious ghost dragon, stretching its ten-thousand-zhang dragon body, with a great, fearless posture, like a mountain ridge, lying horizontally in front of Jiang Wang!
Its dragon eyes looked into Jiang Wang’s eyes, carrying some concern, some regret, some true emotion!
Jiang Wang himself also tread on green clouds, but because he was pulling Jing Li, he was a bit slow and couldn’t withdraw immediately. But there was no need to withdraw…
A group of extremely beautiful oval-shaped fantastical star whirls surrounded him and Jing Li. The space-time in this place was completely different!
Standing within the fantastical star whirl, looking outside was like viewing a water mirror.
The familiar Jade Balance star light made Jiang Wang completely relax, to the extent that he had leisure time to appreciate the beautiful scene in front of him.
At first glance, the star light dots were like flowing sand, but on closer inspection, each grain of star sand was imprinted with Dao patterns. Looking with the Dry Yang Red Pupils, these Dao patterns were actually endlessly alive, like living things.
Their quality and might, each grain of star sand was like a falling star! Once it exploded, its killing power was hard to estimate.
Outside this fantastical star whirl, there was still an unsteady, luxurious star chart, standing like a screen. A thin page, yet it separated into a heavenly moat.
Ao Kui’s dragon body was just outside this star chart screen.
And the reason for his sudden pounce and shout of caution had already become apparent—
Wu Han Gong did not want to be driven by the demon race, hence he achieved the dragon demon and abandoned the dragon demon. After killing the demon spirit’s will and bidding farewell to the human race at the scene, he then actively erased his own traces and overturned the history named “Wu Han Gong”.
But the demon skill would never be extinguished.
Although Wu Han Gong died and the demon spirit vanished, the “Mountains Rivers Shattered Dragon Demon Skill” still existed. And the instant Wu Han Gong disappeared, it had already re-manifested and reappeared in the human world.
That was a pentagonal board the size of a human head, of unknown material, with a bit of the meaning of a clay tablet book.
But it was not as rough as a clay tablet book. It emitted a metallic luster, its edges were neat and even could be called sharp, with an extremely symmetrical beauty. The surface was very smooth, and the twisted demon script was simply like floating on top.
Faint black demon qi surrounded this book, giving people an extremely oppressive feeling. Just as it manifested, it suddenly crashed towards Jiang Wang’s side!
Like a swallow returning to its nest, due to fate’s pull, it arrived suddenly. It was unclear whether it was rushing towards Jiang Wang or Jing Li. Ao Kui made his decision at this instant.
While Wu Han Gong was conversing with Jiang Wang and the others, he had already quietly and soundlessly slipped to the edge of the battlefield, originally planning to hide in the floating land world for a while, trying to evade Jade Balance Star Sovereign’s pursuit—that was, of course, unrealistic.
He had actually thought about taking Jiang Wang as a hostage, but firstly, Jiang Wang was too slippery to be restrained, and it would likely fail. Secondly, this kind of behavior had already been attempted in the outer heaven and had failed once, leaving a bit of a shadow. Moreover, this time Jade Balance Star Sovereign had a True Sovereign beside him, who knew what means they possessed?
After weighing his options, he could only give up.
But at this moment of the demon skill’s unusual movement, a bold idea was born in his heart, and he decided to gamble once.
He wanted to save Jiang Wang with a life-shedding posture, let the quickly approaching Jade Balance Star Sovereign see how thoroughly he had washed his heart, reformed, and become a dragon again.
As for his various actions after deceiving Jiang Wang to the floating land, they could all be explained. The demon spirit’s self-justification gave him infinite inspiration.
He came to the floating land, and he could also say that his body was not his own. He had been plotted against in the Heaven Buddha Temple in his early years and was controlled by the Beg Life As Is Bowl. Jiang Wang had shown off greatly in the maze world, attracting the key attention of the sea race, so the Beg Life As Is Bowl specifically summoned them to the floating land to specifically deal with Jiang Wang!
He had caused great slaughter in the Rapid Fire Department, and he could push all of that onto the demon spirit. With a long-tired body and a weak soul, he was fundamentally unable to resist the extremely evil demon spirit. And he had endured humiliation and borne the burden, actually all for protecting Jiang Wang at the crucial time. He had already devoutly submitted!
In short… this was roughly the framework. How to express it more convincingly would depend on his on-site acting. At this moment, he shed his body to block the demon skill, showing his posture first, and earning a round of being moved!
Jiang Wang’s feet had already risen on green clouds, and the instant the star whirl covered Jiang Wang explained how wise his decision to abandon the idea of abducting a hostage was.
But…
Great as Jade Balance Star Sovereign, why don’t you conveniently cover me a bit? Where is your compassion?!
Almost simultaneously with him blocking in front of Jiang Wang, the “Mountains Rivers Shattered Dragon Demon Skill” had already struck, its sharp edges directly cutting off dragon scales and cutting into the dragon body!
Whatever, suffering a bit of injury is easier to get sympathy… Ao Kui was just thinking this when he suddenly felt a soul-touching intense pain, causing his stiff dragon body to raise its head and howl in pain in front of Jiang Wang!
Pain! Too painful!
In his long life, what had he not seen? He had also once dragged his remnant body and fought bloody battles without retreating, and had also felt pain that could be called extreme punishment in the world, but never this pain!
It was like his soul was put into a stone mill, being ground out little by little.
If he had known this pain earlier, he would never have come to block. Bald thief Guan Yan, save me, save me?!
Compared to the ten-thousand-zhang dragon body, the small “Mountains Rivers Shattered Dragon Demon Skill” was no bigger than a sesame seed. But from the moment it cut into the dragon spine, Ao Kui almost felt nothing of his own body, only endless pain, which almost destroyed his will.
He wanted to curse out loud, starting from Guan Yan’s ancestors, he wanted to curse Heaven Buddha, curse the World Honored One… but found he had no mouth.
In the next instant, Ao Kui had a different feeling. After enduring that extreme pain, there was an almost infinite surge of power, spreading from the wound on his dragon spine to every part of his ten-thousand-zhang dragon body!
The ghost dragon body condensed from ghost light suddenly burst out with roots and inverted bone spurs, becoming more ferocious, more grim, and more powerful!
At this moment, his eyes blurred, he could no longer distinguish whether the pleasure that swept his brain was pleasure or pain, he saw a blurred vision of an infinite leap into the future… the scene of the super-extraordinary absolute peak that he had bitterly sought for many years!
From chasing the Emperor Lord in the vast sea, to chasing the Star Sovereign in the forest sea source realm, and then achieving the ghost dragon in the floating land. He planned step by step, strived time after time, yet always missed one step.
He did not lack scheming, talent, or courage, but always lacked that little bit of opportunity and coincidence!
Within his slightly blurred dragon eyes, reflected the star chart screen, and beyond the screen, the brilliant star whirl, and within the star whirl, Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang’s posture was relaxed, his eyes inexplicable, and his tone also inexplicable: “Careful of what?”
Ao Kui’s temper returned along with his strength, and he was suddenly furious, manifesting into his dragon-headed, human-bodied dragon demon form, and with one fist, he directly bombarded that star chart screen: “You be careful not to live past Wu Han Gong’s seventh day! Be careful of being hit by a carriage when you go out! You heartless, ungrateful rotten brat!”
As his fist struck out, he also completely sobered up.
He finally knew what the “Mountains Rivers Shattered Dragon Demon Skill”‘s material was… clearly a piece of dragon scale! And he, with his ghost dragon body, and by swallowing the demon skill, achieved the dragon demon.
Perhaps he was the first historical ghost demon dragon!
His fist, covered in fine scales, smashed into the screen-like star chart, but it did not smash through, only dented it.
Not too good.
Perhaps because he did not understand the “Mountains Rivers Shattered Dragon Demon Skill” enough, Ao Kui found that he was not as strong as he imagined, but the True Sovereign who wore the star chart as a Dao robe was even more fearsome than he imagined!
As his fist strength surged back, he also surged back.
Only a slight dent was left on the star chart, which soon restored itself, not even touching the star whirl, let alone injuring Jiang Wang’s half a hair.
His ghost demon dragon body was so agile, he reversed into a fierce dive, breaking through the land and diving into the vast you tian. He only left one sentence: “This fist is a lesson for you! Take care of yourself, little thief!”
Jiang Wang looked at the star chart in front of him, which was lightly shaken as if by the wind, stunned for a moment. By the time he tried to recall the Bitter Awareness old monk’s insult art and prepared to strike back… Ao Kui had already disappeared.
Guan Yan, in a set of moon-white long robes, walked over from in front of him, only saying “Wait here for me,” and then stepped into the you tian, chasing and killing Ao Kui!
That you tian was dark and endless, yet his snow-white figure seemed to be printed within it, actually unable to be hidden!
The star chart rolled up and printed back onto Ruan Su’s Dao robe. The ink jade hair pin hid the star glory. He looked around, specifically at Li Feng Yao, then said to Jiang Wu Xie: “Ninth Highness, no big problems?”
“Not a hair damaged!” Jiang Wu Xie casually received the Red Luan Spear, led the Rapid Fire Yu Ling, walked closer, his demeanor composed, naturally possessing the imperial clan’s bearing: “Where did you invite that master from just now? How can he be so gentle and yet so murderous?”
“It’s Jade Balance Star Sovereign Guan Yan senior.” Jiang Wang introduced: “Before coming to the floating land, I wrote a letter to him.”
“So that’s how it is!” Jiang Wu Xie paused, just wanting to say that he had also invited Supervisor Ruan.
Then he heard Ruan Su say to Jiang Wang: “Last time you told me about this world, I have come today, and that counts as the reward for divination repaid. You and I are no longer indebted.”
Jiang Wu Xie was stunned.
Although the reason for being stunned was not the same, Jiang Wang was also stunned for a moment, and quickly said: “How can this be? You helped me with divination, using extremely deep power. And coming to this floating land, I haven’t given you anything, how can we be mutually repaid?”
“To my realm, yuan stones are useless, and a thousand gold is of no benefit. The most important thing is opportunity. Just now, although I was outside the time gulf, Wu Han Gong, as a teacher of ten thousand worlds, his actions, without concealment, both I and Daoist friend Guan Yan gained quite a lot, enough to repay the divination reward!” Ruan Su waved his hand: “You should feel completely relaxed, and be closer to the Cave True realm!”
Only now did Jiang Wang understand why Wu Han Gong would say “Those two venerate Dao very have comprehension.”
Wu Han Gong broke the seal, turned into a dragon demon, killed the demon spirit, and self-broke history. His actions, as a teacher of ten thousand worlds, perhaps made it very hard for him to see anything from his perspective, but for figures standing at the super-extraordinary absolute peak, gazing at the scenery above the absolute peak, they could always gain something. And Wu Han Gong did not conceal or hide, allowing them to learn.
Truly a teacher of ten thousand worlds!
The time gulf was wiped away, and the flow of time in this world gradually aligned with the outside world.
The extermination disaster had ended, and Ruan Su and Guan Yan brought the star light from outside Tian Shu. The floating land world had never been so free.
Under the star light, there were great and beautiful mountains and rivers.
Qing Huo Qi Ming, with his huge whale body, swam closer and said to Jiang Wang: “Friend… I will help you catch him.”
Jiang Wang thought for a moment and transmitted his voice to him, saying: “You are now the guardian spirit of the floating land world. The most important matter before you now is to restore order in the floating land, soothe the common people of the floating land, and reduce the subsequent impact of the disaster.”
He had, after all, participated in large-scale battles and also wielded high power. He knew that once order collapsed, sometimes human disasters were fiercer than natural disasters. If the order of the floating land was not restored in time, possibly more people would die than all those killed by the demon spirit and Ao Kui.
“I should… how to do?” Qing Huo Qi Ming asked via voice transmission.
He had obvious trust in Jiang Wang.
When he was still a timid witch priest named Qing Huo Qi Ming, Jiang Wang was his friend. He was the only one willing to listen to his innermost thoughts.
“You cannot ask me. This is the time for you to establish your authority and truly grasp power. What you possess now is trust and power, but you haven’t truly mastered power yet.” Jiang Wang racked his brains, recalling various historical events, and gave Qing Huo Qi Ming the best suggestion he could think of: “If you really don’t know what to do, you can assign tasks to Qing Huo Yuan Chen or other tribe leaders. They naturally know what to do. You don’t need to say too many words, you only need to evaluate how they do it. Look and see, and you will understand.”
Qing Huo Qi Ming said “Oh” and then asked: “Will you come to see me often later? It was… too lonely in the you tian before.”
Perhaps this was what he most wanted to say.
“Of course.” Jiang Wang lifted a finger and pointed towards the sky. Without the cover of the Beg Life As Is Bowl, and with the presence of Jade Balance Star Sovereign in this world, his Jade Balance Star Tower manifested high in the sky, becoming a brilliant one among the stars.
“We can contact each other often.” He said with a smile.
Qing Huo Qi Ming laughed satisfactorily and slowly floated towards Qing Huo Yuan Chen’s side. The army of vast mountains and wild plains, under the command of the leaders of each family, gradually retreated like a tide.
This world had experienced a heaven-collapse and earth-crack, and although Rapid Fire Yu Xiu held up the heaven and Qing Huo Qi Ming supplemented the earth, the lives of ordinary people were still destroyed too much.
They needed to re-establish their lives.
This was a long and painful process, but just like the star dome tonight—not just Tian Shu, not just tonight. The efforts of generations of the human race in the floating land, after winning tonight, had a wider possibility. Some cried, some grieved, and some were full of hope.
Li Feng Yao made some arrangements for the warriors of the Pure Water Department, then flew towards Jiang Wang.
Speaking of which, it was Jiang Wang’s first time seeing Sister Li wearing armor. Her heroic posture seemed to stand on the peak of an ice glacier. It was completely different from her usual style, but also a kind of breathtaking beauty.
“Aren’t you running a wine house in Star Moon Plain? How can you be so idle and come here?” Li Feng Yao asked.
Having entered the floating land and immediately participated in such an intense war, there was no time for casual conversation until now. “It’s a long story…” Jiang Wang cursed: “It’s all that old dragon’s fault!”
“The old dragon’s matter aside…” Li Feng Yao’s beautiful eyebrows slightly raised: “You knew I would come?”
Jiang Wang knew she was asking about those several totem paintings, and he suddenly felt a bit embarrassed: “I just thought, if even Jiang Wu Xie can have arrangements in the floating land… there’s no reason for Sister Feng Yao to miss out. So I casually drew a few strokes, Sister, don’t blame me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly amended to Jiang Wu Xie: “I didn’t mean that Ninth Highness is not capable… you are quite capable!”
The Nourish Heart Palace Master, whose eyebrows had already wrinkled up, unfolded them again and laughed with deep emotion: “No harm, knowing you for so long, don’t I know you? You have a mouth but no heart.”
Li Feng Yao ignored their false sentiment, turned and went towards the Pure Water Department’s direction, only saying faintly: “You drew well!”
