Random Recommendation:

Jiang Wang wants to seek the title of True Invincible in the Cave True realm. He definitely can’t just say it.

He must fight contemporary top-tier True Persons like Lou Yue, Huang Fu, and Lu Shuanghe one by one – unless they attain Dao before Jiang Wang reaches the peak.

Since ancient times, the top position has never been debated into existence, only fought for.

No matter how fierce and ferocious the boasting, no matter how many people wave flags and shout, without solid war records crushing all opponents, people will not be convinced. It is necessary to beat and convince all contemporary top-tier True Persons to truly earn the name “True Person Invincible.”

Before losing to Huang Fu, both Huyan Jingxuan and Zhongshan Yanwen also claimed to be the number one in the North Domain!

Therefore, Jiang Wang and Lu Shuanghe will eventually have a battle. Lu Shuanghe’s preemptive challenge now only makes this battle more brutal, a fight to the death.

Everyone who reaches the mountaintop walks over the corpses of countless losers.

Life is a path, and living means moving forward.

There are many contemporary heaven’s favored, and many who are dead. This is the process of great waves washing over the sand.

Jiang Wang didn’t linger and returned directly to Baiyu Jing.

The wine house business was still excellent, with a constant flow of guests. Shopkeeper Bai was sitting behind the counter calculating accounts, his pen tip moving very quickly.

As soon as Boss Jiang walked in, he immediately put the account book away.

“What are you doing?” Boss Jiang glanced at him.

Shopkeeper Bai said, “Someone has been waiting for you upstairs for a few days. Go up and see quickly.”

“What were you hiding just now? The account book?” Boss Jiang said vigilantly, “Take it out, I’ll check it.”

“No! I wasn’t hiding anything!” Shopkeeper Bai looked innocent.

Jiang stepped forward and leaned against the counter, his elbow resting on it. He lowered his voice, “With so many people watching, don’t make me do it myself.”

“Look, look!” Bai Yuxia pulled out the account book and slapped it on the table. “Look at yourself! You’re a True Person, yet so idle! You can just sit here and look slowly. Why hasn’t Little Huang who delivers rice arrived yet? I’ll go see—”

Boss Jiang put one hand on his shoulder, pressing him into the seat. With the other hand, he started flipping through the account book. “Don’t hurry to leave. Wait for me to research it.”

Bai Yuxia couldn’t break free. He could only stroke his forehead with his hand, his pupils cast downward. He was already cursing in his heart.

“Alright! Your handwriting is not bad!” Jiang Wang threw the account book back.

Bai Yuxia simultaneously opened his mouth, his voice sinking low, “Boss, isn’t it—”

The account book landed back on the counter, making him jump. Jiang Wang’s voice was clearly heard by him. His voice, which was in the depths of a valley, suddenly rose high!

He straightened his back and held his head high. “Isn’t it! Just tell me if this account is right! Is there any trickery in it!”

He pressed one hand on the account book and stood up excitedly. “I, Bai Yuxia, have always acted openly and honestly. I’ve followed you for so many years, and you’re actually checking my accounts! Is there any trust between us? Is there any feeling?!”

“Calm down, calm down.” Jiang Wang stroked his back with his hand, helping him catch his breath. “I wasn’t checking. I just took a look. How can looking around be called checking accounts? What kind of person are you, Bai Yuxia? Can I still not trust you? Alright, alright, no wrong done. What were you saying earlier—who is waiting for me?”

Bai Yuxia snorted coldly and sat back down heavily. “Go up and see for yourself!”

“Okay, I’ll go see for myself. Shopkeeper Bai, you’ve worked hard.” Jiang Wang patted his shoulder, signaling his appreciation. “The next number one God Lin under heaven, I look forward to you! Keep striving!”

The guests on the eleventh floor of Baiyu Jing’s wine house stopped, while the boss alone resided on the twelfth floor.

Indeed, a noble guest had arrived these days.

He wore luxurious martial clothes with a red base and gold trim, and his features were bright and warm.

He was just lying lazily on a soft cushion, occasionally teaching Chu Yao how to practice his fist moves.

“Brother Dou!” Jiang Wang was truly surprised. “The noble guest is actually you? I heard you’ve been waiting for me?”

“Waiting for you? No.” Dou Zhao glanced at him, then turned his gaze back, saying casually, “I was just passing by—hey, the fist stance, the fist stance can’t be scattered. What happens if a person’s bones are pulled out? The momentum of the fist is the same principle. It’s a fist that kills people, how can it be soft and weak? I’ve told you several times, ah, why are you messing it up? Doesn’t your master teach you?”

Chu Yao stood straight and bowed to Dou Zhao. “Sorry, I just saw my master and was distracted. I’ll practice again.”

Then he straightened himself up and practiced his moves one by one.

This child, after all, had endured hardship. Being cunning was one aspect, but he also worked very hard at cultivation.

Jiang Wang didn’t interfere throughout, only looking at Dou Zhao suspiciously at this time. “Passing by? Shopkeeper Bai said you stayed in Xingyue Ping for several days. Do you need to travel so long just to pass by?”

“Enjoying the local scenery!” Dou Zhao said.

“Your arm…” Jiang Wang noticed his empty dangling sleeve on the left side.

“Ha!” Dou Zhao laughed heroically. “It’s nothing. Just chopped it off for fun!”

“Your leg…” Jiang Wang then looked at his right leg, which was obviously half a section shorter.

“Right. I chopped that off myself too.” Dou Zhao’s expression didn’t change.

“Is that so much fun?” Jiang Wang said, “Why don’t you chop off your left leg too, and let me see how you play?”

Dou Zhao frowned slightly. “Don’t talk about such bloody topics in front of a child. How are you being a master?”

“Alright then.” Jiang Wang shrugged and sat down on the side. He also stared at Chu Yao’s fist stance and said casually, “Where did Brother Dou come from?”

Dou Zhao was unmoved. “The grassland!”

According to common sense, Jiang Wang’s next sentence should be, “What did you go to the grassland for?”

Then he would give a long and special lecture.

But Jiang Wang just sighed. “Brother Dou, I haven’t even congratulated you on becoming the number one God Lin under heaven, and you’re already a Cave True!”

He complained, “You’re too fast!”

Dou Zhao smiled without warmth. “Right. I’ve always been suppressing myself. After all, the roots are deep and solid, allowing the branches to be prosperous and the leaves luxuriant. After an autumn rain, there are cicada sounds everywhere. I don’t know what they’re so anxious about?”

Jiang Wang looked at Dou Zhao, his eyes sincere and his face full of admiration. “I remember Brother Dou was born in the year 3893. Becoming a Cave True at thirty years old is rare in ancient and modern times. Before True Person Li Yi of Taiyu broke this record, you could say you tied history. I’m truly happy for you!”

Dou Zhao emphasized expressionlessly, “I was born in November of 3893. Calculating my actual age, I’m still three months short of thirty years old.”

Jiang Wang clapped his hands in praise. “Brother Dou is rigorous!”

He added, “That Chong Xuan Zun is only a few months faster than you, the difference is limited! Brother Dou, your cultivation speed is still at the forefront of history.”

Dou Zhao shook his head and looked at Jiang Wang with the kind of eyes used to look at a child, with pity. “When you become a Cave True is not important. How could I, Dou Zhao, seek an empty name? Living in this world, like grass and trees for an autumn, we cultivators of this generation should seek the invincible! Opening up history is what we do, exploring the limit of our combat power is what we do! Jiang Wang, what do you think is the limit?”

Jiang Wang started counting on his fingers. “Wang Yiwu being the first in the Tongtian realm? My Qing Shi being the first in the Inner Mansion? My being conferred the youngest hegemonic country military merit marquis at twenty years old? My establishing the sixty-thousand-li monument in the Edge Wilderness in the God Lin realm? My Qing Shi being the first True?”

He looked regretfully at Dou Zhao, saying nothing, but already having said everything – Brother Dou, why are you not here?

Dou didn’t seem to hear or see, making Jiang Wang suspect whether he had shielded his sight and hearing.

Dou only raised his voice. “Let me tell you some good news. With my cultivation in the God Lin realm, I ventured deep into the Edge Wilderness, sixty thousand thirteen li! This is a small step for me personally, but it is a big step in the history of cultivation! The limit of exploration in the Edge Wilderness by God Lin realm cultivators has been expanded by me again. The name of the strongest God Lin in history has been redefined by me!”

Jiang Wang was unmoved. “Did you see the monument I erected?”

Dou Zhao shook his head. “The Edge Wilderness is so big, how could I possibly encounter it? Besides, it’s not certain if your monument is still there or not.”

“But it doesn’t matter.” He turned over to comfort him. “I erected a new one.”

The human race has always had the tradition of erecting monuments to record achievements. Ying Jianghong initially won the war against Jing Mu and erected a monument in the grassland, both to boast of his achievements and as a form of insult.

Generally speaking, the meaning of the human race erecting a monument is: I have fought to here, and I can fight to here anytime. Dare to pull down this monument, and the army will immediately come again.

It is considered a deterrence built with fresh blood.

Of course, whether it’s the monument erected by Ying Jianghong in the grassland or the monument erected by Jiang Wang in the Edge Wilderness, they cannot be preserved for too long.

Only Jiang Wang’s monument in the Edge Wilderness happens to have created a history of cultivation and will be long remembered.

A record of sixty thousand thirteen li, without a complete qualitative breakthrough, cannot overshadow the sixty-thousand-li monument. At most, it just makes Dou Zhao happy himself.

Moreover… Jiang Wang was in the God Lin realm at that time and rushed sixty thousand and seventy-six li, and the merit monument was also erected there. It’s just that saying the sixty-thousand-li monument is relatively smoother, no need to fuss over that small difference.

This is why he asked Dou Zhao if he had seen his monument.

He originally wanted to ridicule Dou Zhao a bit more, saying that he himself went a few dozen li further, and asked Dou Zhao if he wanted to retreat to the God Lin realm and try again.

But after thinking about it, he couldn’t bring himself to do it – he knew from thinking about it how desperate Dou Zhao had rushed forward in the Edge Wilderness to become like this.

Missing an arm and a leg, not even thinking about getting treatment first, but coming to Xingyue Ping to boast of his achievements for the first time, what kind of spirit is this?

“Brother Dou, ah.” Jiang Wang sighed. “Did you encounter a true demon?”

Dou Zhao waved his single arm, his tone flat. “My luck was not bad. I encountered two honored ones.”

Jiang Wang’s face showed surprise. “That’s very dangerous.”

Dou Zhao glanced at him. “When you killed a true demon at that time, was it very dangerous?”

“That—it wasn’t.” Jiang Wang waved his hand. “Very simple, like killing a chicken. I’ll go kill more if I have time.”

“Oh, I see! What danger is there in killing a true demon alone?” Dou Zhao recounted, “At that time, I was in the Cave True realm. I fought two demons alone, my face didn’t change, and I retreated completely! If I hadn’t been worried about the sky demon nearby, I would have had to slaughter them!”

Jiang Wang’s surprise grew even more. “There’s also a sky demon?”

Dou Zhao’s face didn’t change. “Maybe there was, maybe not. I, Dou, prevent trouble before it happens.”

Jiang Wang understood – Dou Zhao encountered two honored true demons within sixty thousand li of the Edge Wilderness. He quickly reached the Cave True realm and fled in a panic. But his fleeing skills were slightly inferior to Jiang’s, and during the process of fleeing, he still lost an arm and a leg.

After thinking about it, he still couldn’t help but say, “Speaking of sky demons, it seems the Illusion Demon Monarch has been in charge there in recent years. Before I went to the Edge Wilderness, I specifically wrote a letter to the God Crown Great Priest, asking him to keep an eye on the Demon Monarch and take action at any time… It’s also a kind of bodyguard for myself. You just went by yourself?”

Dou Zhao obviously didn’t think about this, but just smiled disdainfully. “Leaving a way out for oneself, what kind of life-and-death challenge is that? I would never do it!”

Alright, a kind reminder, and he still wants to be stepped on.

Jiang Wang decided to send the guest away, so he picked up the teacup and looked at Dou Zhao.

Dou Zhao said, “I don’t drink, thanks.”

Jiang Wang just tactfully drank a mouthful of water, then said with a bitter mouth and earnest heart, “Brother Dou, you can’t delay this injury.”

“Thank you for your concern.” Dou Zhao started supervising Chu Yao’s fist stance again and said casually, “My great-grandmother has already written to Benevolent Heart Hall. Medical Dao True Person Shangguan E Hua is on the way. This little injury is nothing, it’s just a matter of consuming some resources.”

“Inviting a Medical Dao True Person is very expensive, right?” Jiang Wang asked.

At that time, to treat those injured in Yun Country, they invited the hall master of the Benevolent Heart Hall’s Yun Country branch, a God Lin realm Zong Ge physician. It was simply spending money like water, yuan stones were consumed in piles, making Jiang’s heart like tangled hemp.

Even so, Zhu Weimi’s injuries were still not completely healed.

It’s truly hard to imagine the price of a Medical Dao True Person taking action. And from thousands of li away, coming to treat injuries!

“I don’t know if it’s expensive or not,” Dou Zhao said indifferently. “I don’t ask about this little money.”

Jiang Wang decided not to send the guest away.

Although he and Dou Zhao weren’t friends, they were acquaintances and knew each other a little. Heroes cherish heroes!

Now that Dou Zhao was so seriously injured, how could he not take care of him?

“Brother Dou, you can recover well here at my place. Stay as long as you want.”

People like Dou Zhao are never short of people showing kindness. Wherever they go, there are people supporting them. He didn’t feel that Jiang Wang’s attitude was wrong in any way. He naturally hummed in response.

Jiang Wang patted his shoulder, looked at his broken arm, then at his broken leg, and showed a close and heartbroken expression. “…Alas. Brother Dou will definitely recover. I’ll have Shopkeeper Bai make you some medicinal food supplements later. He’s very professional. Just give him a cost price and it will be fine.”

Dou Zhao didn’t mind the cost price. He just said casually, “Bai Yuxia? I haven’t heard that the Bai Clan of Langya understands medical techniques.”

“He learned it later in Linzi.” Jiang Wang was unmoved. “His teacher is Wen Baizhu from the Imperial Medical Bureau of Qi Country.”

He added, “This Imperial Physician Wen is from the same family as Court Discuss Doctor Wen Yanyu. Their medical technique is extraordinary.”

“Then I’ll trouble him,” Dou Zhao said casually.

“Of course, it’s mainly the True Person from Benevolent Heart Hall who will treat you. Shopkeeper Bai is just helping you recuperate.” Jiang Wang made a supplementary explanation to exempt himself from responsibility, his face showing a sincere smile. He was just about to go down and discuss the food supplement plan with Shopkeeper Bai, for example, whether to use snow water from Tianshan to cook the rice…

Suddenly, he thought of something else.

So, before standing up, he asked, “Right, what about Zhongli Yan?”

“I don’t know,” Dou Zhao said casually while still staring at Chu Yao’s movements. “He’s in Chu Country. This kid is like a dog skin plaster, can’t be shaken off. I didn’t dare let him know I was going out.”

Poor Zhongli Yan, he just missed Dou Zhao like that.

“What about him?” Dou Zhao asked again.

“Nothing.” Jiang Wang also went down. “I hope he strives harder.”

A sneeze!

Zhongli, covered in dust, let out a big sneeze.

Pu pu pu!

He spat out sand for a long time.

He had already passed the five thousand li mark in the Edge Wilderness, long after the forbidden zone for life.

Wild sand rose and the world was desolate. Vaguely, monstrous things wandered in sight.

Zhongli Yan kicked away the demon skull in front of him and put his heavy sword back behind him.

He took out that messy map of the Edge Wilderness, looked at it several times, and finally understood what the several circles on it represented.

A dignified former Wu An Marquis of Great Qi, a title earned through military merit, how could he not understand drawing a military map? Moreover, this is such a simple topographic map!

Why is it drawn so crude and obscure? There is only one answer – Jiang Wang is afraid! He is afraid that Sir Zhongli will surpass him, afraid that Sir Zhongli will break his historical record!

Zhongli Yan snorted coldly, instantly filled with fighting spirit. He put the map back in the storage box. He stirred up his blood once again and rushed forward with big strides!

The sixty-thousand-li monument in the Edge Wilderness, sir is coming!
