“Jiang Wang, who won first place in the Inner Palace at the Yellow River Meet, is that you?”

This was the question posed in Ning Jianke’s letter within the illusory realm of the Taixu.

Before Jiang Wang could even reply, he received a challenge invitation.

Naturally, he would not shy away from a fight.

Mounting the Discussion Stage, he headed straight for the star river.

Having experienced the grand assembly on the Guan River Stage, witnessing the merging of these two discussion stages evoked a sense of nostalgia.

Looking closely at this dazzling star river, was it not another kind of great river?

However, the human race used the Guan River Stage to suppress the great river. What did they use to suppress the star river?

Considering the Floating Continent, the Senhai Origin Realm, the Hidden Star World… just one Seven Star Secret Realm linked so many extraterrestrial worlds. Extraterrestrial worlds should be as numerous as the stars. Why is the current world called the “current world”?

Putting aside these thoughts, his opponent, Ning Jianke, had already arrived by sword.

His Absolute Sword Art was truly peerless. In terms of swordsmanship alone, he was no less skilled than the peerless prodigies at the Yellow River Meet.

After briefly testing his refined得意剑式 (Proud Sword Form) and相思剑式 (Lovesick Sword Form), Jiang Wang ended the battle on the spot with a single strike of the人字剑 (Human Character Sword).

It wasn’t that his人字剑 had surpassed the peerless level and surpassed Ning Jianke’s sect’s secret Absolute Sword Art. This single strike of the人字剑 had barely entered the threshold of the peerless level in the Inner Palace realm, merely showing a slight advantage over the Absolute Sword Art in this realm.

The most important reason was that he had fought Ning Jianke too many times. Ning Jianke’s choices held few surprises for him. And his strength after the Guan River Stage was completely unfamiliar to Ning Jianke.

After a moment of waiting, Ning Jianke’s challenge came again.

Having been humbled in swordsmanship, Ning Jianke naturally couldn’t bear it…

This time, Jiang Wang directly unleashed his fire domain, activated the Sword Immortal Man, illuminating all four palaces, and unleashed a peak strike…

The battle ended immediately.

The usually unyielding Ning Jianke did not issue another challenge this time.

Only a paper crane flew over. Opening it, there were only four words:

“It really is you!”

“You’re too kind,” Jiang Wang replied with great humility.

During the time he participated in the Yellow River Meet, he had fallen from the top position in the Taixu Inner Palace.

But it didn’t matter.

The current number one in the Taixu Inner Palace should have been utterly defeated by him.

He hadn’t intended to deliberately crush Ning Jianke’s confidence. He just wanted to see how big the gap was between him after winning the Yellow River Meet and him before going to the Guan River Stage.

Ning Jianke happened to be a good yardstick.

After waiting for a while, Ning Jianke did not reply, presumably having left the Taixu illusory realm.

However, another light blue paper crane gracefully flew over.

It was a letter from Zuo Guangshu.

If he could get a Moon Key for An An and Qing Yu, writing letters would be much more convenient than using cloud cranes in the future. He just worried that An An would send letters too frequently then, and he would be too busy with cultivation to reply much.

Of course, he still had no idea how to get a Moon Key. Should he ask Xu Zepu the next time he had a chance to meet him?

Thinking this, he unfolded the paper crane in his hand.

The letter was very short, with only eight words.

“Congratulations, number one in the world.”

Jiang Wang rubbed his chin.

This congratulatory message should have come earlier. Was the news in Chu State so slow?

He wondered if this kid knew that he had taught Xiang Bei a lesson for him…

Thinking erratically, he replied in writing: “Ah, you know too? I originally didn’t want to say…”

Thousands of words flowed from his pen.

He wrote furiously, recounting everything he “didn’t want to say.”

There was no other way. Jiang An An was young and didn’t understand the world’s situation deeply. Even if he explained it in detail, it would be difficult for her to grasp the weight of this “number one in the world.”

Zuo Guangshu had no such concerns. This guy had a good family background, broad experience, and sufficient cultivation himself. He could fully understand how strong the number one at this year’s Yellow River Meet was!

When the light blue paper crane flew back, its wings seemed to be much heavier…

Paper slips fly thousands of miles, who knows? It’s hard to convey absurdity on thin paper.

At this moment, Zuo Guangshu, far away in Chu State, looked at the densely packed long letter in his hand, feeling an urge to tear it up on the spot.

It was inconvenient on the road, so he wrote the congratulatory letter after returning to Chu State.

He had originally wanted to chat today and obliquely express a few words of thanks, but now he was completely not in the mood.

What did he mean by “You know too?”

How could I not know?!

I saw it clearly!

Good heavens, I watched it with my own eyes, and you are giving me a written description again. Are you helping me reminisce?

And it even starts describing from the first move!

Why don’t you start writing from when you set off!

No.

What did he mean by “I just took a casual look and saw the flaw in that guy Xiang Bei…”

What did he mean by “Qin Zhizhen cried bitterly and begged me to let go…”

Hah! Do you think I’m blind?!

Zuo Guangshu wrote with a blank expression:

“Too long; didn’t read.”

It was only when he received the sudden duel invitation that the young man burst into laughter and proudly exited the Taixu illusory realm.

There was still some distance between Eastern Qi and Southern Chu.

Fortunately, the Taixu illusory realm covered the entire world, effectively eliminating distance in a sense.

In the past, it wasn’t that no one could achieve this, and in fact, many could, but they were all world-shaking powerhouses. One of the significances of the Taixu illusory realm was that many people with ordinary cultivation could also connect across thousands of miles and ignore the existence of distance through it.

Perhaps ordinary people could do this in the future?

This thought flashed through Jiang Wang’s mind. He shook his head at the letter in his hand, condemning “the young people of today.”

Then he also exited the Taixu illusory realm.

Of course, he wasn’t entirely showing off in front of a child. He just didn’t want to make the matter of him pressing Xiang Bei’s face into fireworks too serious, which would affect the relaxed atmosphere he had when interacting with Zuo Guangshu.

At this time, Lord Jiang was in his large residence in Yaoguang Fang, Linzi, enjoying a rare moment of peace.

The residence bestowed by the Son of Heaven was simply noble and majestic. Its layout and arrangements were beyond reproach.

A place like Yaoguang Fang, where officials and nobles gathered, was far from a place like Yuli Fang. To put it simply, among the guards on duty in Yaoguang Fang, at least one in five was extraordinary!

This proportion even exceeded many elite armies.

And Yuli Fang might only have a total of four or five extraordinary cultivators responsible for protection – although theoretically speaking, people living in Yuli Fang often needed the protection of these guards more than those living in Yaoguang Fang.

Among the important figures living in Yaoguang Fang, there were two that Jiang Wang had “heard of with great renown.” One was Bo Bao Yi of Shuofang, and the other was Grand Master of Remonstrance Xie Huai’an.

Leaving aside Bo Bao Yi of Shuofang, Jiang Wang had met his two sons, Bao Bozhao and Bao Zhongqing.

That he had become “neighbors” with Xie Baoshu was something Jiang Wang had not expected.

But it was also normal.

Although Linzi was large, it was still crowded relative to the people of the Great Qi Empire, which dominated the Eastern Domain. And within the three-hundred-li Linzi City, the true core area was worth every inch of Dao Origin Stone.

Officials and nobles were bound to be crowded together, bumping into each other.

Of course, that being said.

It was still somewhat difficult for the Jiang residence, located on the edge of Yaoguang Fang, to bump into the Xie residence in the core area.

After all, Linzi was very large.

Although it was called “rare peace,” Jiang Wang would not let himself be idle. The necessary cultivation would not be neglected in the slightest.

That was why he had entered the Taixu illusory realm at this time.

Having finished testing his sword today, Jiang Wang explored the Inner Palace in his room for a while and carefully sorted out the heaven and earth isolated island before stopping.

Then he calmly pushed open the door and walked out—

It was time to go to the Son of Heaven’s inner treasury to select a supreme-grade Dao technique. He still had an Inner Palace-level magical item in the Son of Heaven’s inner treasury that he hadn’t claimed yet!
