Red Heart Survey [Translation] - Updated on May 2, 2025
“Xiang Bei and Zhong Li Yan… who won?” On the Sword Discussion Platform among the stars in the Taixu Illusion Realm.
After a martial combat, the two were sitting and lying on the ground, chatting idly.
Zuo Guangshu was sprawled on the ground, arms and legs spread out, not wanting to move a finger.
“Dou Zhao.”
“Dou Zhao?”
Zuo Guangshu grinned, “Dou Zhao passed by and beat them both up.”
That sounds… like something Dou Zhao would do. Jiang Wang shook his head and chuckled.
“Brother Jiang.”
“Hmm?”
“This Dragon Palace Banquet, are you going?” Jiang Wang asked back, “Are you going?”
“The Long River Dragon Palace is relatively close, and with the Nine Dragons Holding the Sun Eternal Town Mountains and Rivers Seal there, it’s absolutely safe. Of course, I want to go and sit for a while.” Zuo Guangshu had a smile on his face and added, “Along with Sister Qu.”
Going abroad to play is a happy thing. Being able to go with Qu Shunhua makes it even more joyful.
He hasn’t taken a long trip in a long time; the last time was for the Yellow River Assembly.
He certainly knows why his family guards him so strictly.
Although with a youthful spirit, it’s hard not to yearn for the vast world, wanting to spread his wings and fly alone, but he also won’t sneak out of Chu territory. He’ll just work hard to cultivate, hoping to reach a cultivation realm that makes his family feel at ease as soon as possible. Hoping to shoulder the family honor early.
The Dragon Palace Banquet is the number one banquet in the world; being invited to attend can be considered a certification from the Long River Dragon Palace, certifying the name of a contemporary prodigious talent.
Because of its early cessation, the value of this certification hasn’t diminished too much. When people mention the Dragon Palace Banquet, they think of its past glory.
Jiang Wang certainly doesn’t need the Dragon Palace Banquet’s certification. But he also smiled faintly, “I should go.”
Just like this, the two of them exchanged sentences, chatting about some things that exist and some that don’t, using the short rest after the battle as a moment of peace in life.
The starry river is as brilliant as ever; these days, the Taixu Illusion Realm is still running smoothly, as if nothing has happened. But among the starry river, the floating Sword Discussion Platforms have obviously decreased significantly.
The starlight is actually lonely.
The lonely starlight shines on the world’s hustle and bustle.
A yellow robe spread in the air like a flag and spear. Free, independent, fluttering.
The woman wearing the yellow robe has beautiful and profound facial features and ancient bronze skin. Her black and bright eyes are bright and spirited, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, with a joyful expression on her face, from time to time still making “hehe” sounds.
Zhongshan We-sun flew beside her, glancing at her from time to time, finally unable to help but ask, “Why are you so happy? Since leaving the country, you haven’t stopped laughing!”
This woman is naturally none other than Huang Sheli.
After returning from spreading the Yellow Face Buddha faith on the grassland, and already having achieved divine and enlightened status, she has obvious expectations for the upcoming grand banquet.
Huang Sheli grinned, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth, “I just think of so many beauties… cough! The world’s heroes, talents flourishing! I am sincerely happy! Happy for Jing Country, for the Northern Domain, for the human race!”
Zhongshan We-sun pouted inwardly but said supportively, “You truly have awareness!”
Huang Sheli temporarily put away her smile, turned her head, looked at him, and seriously emphasized, “Murong Long and others disdain the Dragon Palace Banquet, other people are also lacking interest. This time, only the two of us are coming over, you must not let Jing Country lose face.”
Jing Country’s Taizu Tang Yu killed the Shen Chi Heavenly King, filled the Shen Chi, and built the city of Jidu, which can be considered personally eradicating the last remnants of the water race. Jing Country people have always not been very respectful towards the Long River Dragon Palace.
But this doesn’t affect Huang Sheli and Zhongshan We-sun coming to attend the banquet; the invitations that should be sent, the Long River Dragon Palace won’t fail to send.
“Since it’s the two of us coming,” Zhongshan We-sun frowned, “Why do you only tell me not to let Jing Country lose face?”
Huang Sheli raised her eyebrows, “Can you beat me?” Zhongshan We-sun’s furrowed brows suddenly smoothed out.
When they initially participated in the Yellow River Assembly together, he was in the outer building field, and Huang Sheli was in the inner mansion field. He stopped at the outer building’s top four, while Huang Sheli was the inner mansion’s second. It should be said that he was still slightly better.
But now, both having achieved divine approach, he is indeed no longer Huang Sheli’s opponent.
For this, he has been beaten by his own grandfather many times, scolded for not striving, being useless, and losing face for the Zhongshan family.
But if you can’t beat, you can’t beat, what can be done? That Reverse Travel divine ability is simply unresolvable.
“Look at you, you and I aren’t competing at the Dragon Palace Banquet.” As a rare cultured person from Jing Country, Zhongshan We-sun was always polite and refined, “My South Ming Li Fire is also not to be underestimated.”
“What does it eat?” Huang Sheli asked him.
“Speaking of eating, I heard that this Dragon Palace Banquet has many rare delicacies and will reproduce some previously thought lost ancient famous dishes…” Zhongshan We-sun said, “We must pay attention to dining etiquette. We can’t let people think that we in Jing Country have no food to eat.”
Huang Sheli laughed heartily, “I’m just going to eat heartily!”
Zhongshan We-sun thought to himself, you bully men and dominate women every day in Jing Country, and you don’t know how to restrain yourself when you’re out of the country. Do other people all yield to you? Yet he said, “What do you want to eat? Then I will help you snatch it.”
Huang Sheli shook her head, “You don’t understand.”
“Seven Qiao Purple Zhi? Feng Ming Luo?” Zhongshan We-sun kept guessing.
“Even Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow, what’s so good to eat?” Huang Sheli chuckled, “You must know that beauty can be a meal!”
Zhongshan We-sun, in a consulting tone, said, “Using the phrase ‘Dragon Liver and Phoenix Marrow’ in the Long River Dragon Palace, isn’t it a bit inappropriate?”
Huang Sheli impatiently said, “Don’t read a few broken books and think about lecturing people every day.”
Zhongshan We-sun seriously said, “I’m worried about hurting the Long River Dragon Palace’s feelings. After all, we are the Shen Chi superior country, the model for various countries.”
Jing Country calls itself the Shen Chi superior country, Jing Country is numbered as the Central Great Jing Empire, Qi Country calls itself the Eastern Country, the former Yang Country even called itself the Heavenly Country… In short, they all have these powerful titles, as grandiose as possible.
“What model? Model of fighting wars?” Huang Sheli laughed and raised her fist high, making a fierce vow shape, “Dry his grandfather’s!” Zhongshan We-sun advised, “Sheli girl, speak not so crudely.”
Huang Sheli slanted her eyes at him, “That’s enough. If I don’t say anything, you’re still going on. Stop pretending to be refined with this old lady!”
“You can disagree with my opinion, but we both represent the country’s image…” Zhongshan We-sun still gentle, “I don’t understand what Sheli girl means.”
Huang Sheli grinned, “Isn’t it the time you’re letting yourself go in the Taixu Illusion Realm? Zhao Tiezhu!”
Zhongshan We-sun was startled but reacted in time, not responding to that sound. His face suddenly turned red, and he indignantly said, “How can you arbitrarily slander people’s innocence?”
Huang Sheli laughed heartily and strode away.
Zhongshan We-sun was stunned in place for a moment, then he reacted.
If he didn’t know who Zhao Tiezhu was, why would he feel that this name slandered his innocence?
For a time, his face was as white as paper. It’s over, it’s all over!
Zhao Tiezhu in the Taixu Illusion Realm pointed to the sky and cursed loudly, often greeting his ancestors for eighteen generations, offending not just one or two people. How did Huang Sheli know?!
From ancient times, immortals descend the mountain, mortals ascend the mountain.
A person with an ordinary appearance but outstanding demeanor, with a green gourd hanging at his waist, slowly walked up the mountain along the stone steps.
Beside the stone steps, an old peach tree suddenly shook its branches, extending a leaf to block the way.
“Xu San!” This old peach tree actually spoke, “What are you doing here?”
Xu San was somewhat surprised, “Why are you here?”
“The Palm Teach Great Old Master ordered me to watch here!” The old peach tree shook its branches, “This road is impassable.”
The Palm Teach Great Old Master in the old peach tree’s mouth is naturally the contemporary Daluo Mountain Palm Teach, also the current Hunyuan True Monarch, the holder of the “Hunyuan Descent Scripture.”
The weight of this big figure’s oral decree is self-evident.
Xu San is also from Daluo Mountain, so he can still say a few words here.
He cupped his hands, “The Dragon Palace Banquet is about to open, and the Dragon Palace’s invitation has also been sent. The court’s meaning is to let Tai Yu Zhenren go for a trip.”
The old peach tree’s voice became serious, “Although Tai Yu Zhenren has returned to the Daoist sect and no longer hides his identity, it does not mean that he has become a sword that anyone can use. Don’t always use such boring things to disturb his cultivation!”
Xu San couldn’t help but envy, “For Tai Yu Zhenren to cultivate quietly, the Palm Teach actually transferred you here to guard. Since the new Dao Calendar began, I have never heard of anyone having such treatment.”
“Wrong!” The old peach tree corrected, “What kind of person do you think Tai Yu Zhenren is? Would he care about those people’s concerns? The Palm Teach Great Old Master ordered me to guard here not to help block those irrelevant disturbances, but to prevent too many people from dying without knowing the limits, so I can save one if I can.”
Xu San said, “Then the Dragon Palace Banquet…”
“What’s so great about the Dragon Palace Banquet?” The old peach tree was very blunt, “In the past, I also went to drink wine, that’s all!”
“But there is another situation.” Xu San thought for a moment and still said, “According to reliable news, the present world divine envoy Cang Ming has already achieved Dong Zhen. This time, he will also attend the banquet. If Tai Yu Zhenren does not go, probably no one can suppress the scene.”
In the Dao Calendar 3919 Yellow River Assembly’s under thirty years old unlimited field, among the various countries’ divine approach prodigious talents, it was actually Mu Country’s Cang Ming who first broke through to Dong Zhen.
And in the era when Mu Country established the policy of all religions merging, Cang Tu God’s influence rapidly declined.
The story that happened on that grassland is obviously more magnificent than imagined.
For Mu Country, for Cang Ming, the world needs to re-examine.
The old peach tree was silent for a while.
Also knowing the meaning of the phrase “cannot suppress the scene.” Many times, second, third, fourth, for other hegemonic countries, can be accepted.
Only Jing Country cannot.
At any time and any occasion, it must maintain first place.
The grand Central Great Jing, the world’s number one powerful country, the great nation that has suppressed various countries for four thousand years, how can it “cannot suppress the scene”?
If the lion king shows old age, challengers will emerge endlessly!
Chen Suan is certainly excellent, Chun Yu Gui is indeed a prodigious talent. But in front of the already achieved Dong Zhen’s Cang Ming, they are all not enough to look at.
“I know.” Finally, the old peach tree said.
Then it pulled up its roots and wobbled up the mountain.
Only a long sigh remained, scattered on the mountain path, “If only Wan Si Jing Hu were here, how could Tai Yu Zhenren not get peace?”
Wan Si Jing Hu, Wan Si Jing Hu!
Xu San had an ashamed expression on his face.
The old peach tree sighed for Wan Si Jing Hu’s world-shaking talent, scolded their incompetence and powerlessness.
Truly speechless.
Those who have no words to say, how is it only Xu San?
Today’s Gan Chang’an also stood by the Wei River for a long time, speechless. This year, he is twenty-two years old, and his features are no longer childish. A few years ago at the Yellow River Assembly, he still had some youthful appearance. These past few years, he has grown rapidly, somewhat having the appearance of a youth, although he still looks harmless, gentle, and weak.
He and Jiang Wang were actually born in the same year, but he is six months younger than Jiang Wang, with a birthday in July. So Jiang Wang is already twenty-three years old, while he is still experiencing the end of his twenty-two years.
Young people always hope that this end can have a more grand echo.
In the Dao Calendar 3919 Yellow River Assembly, the nineteen-year-old Jiang Wang won the inner mansion field championship.
The nineteen-year-old Gan Chang’an was in the outer building field’s top eight. But this doesn’t mean he only had the strength of the top eight; it’s because he met Dou Zhao too early.
Now he has also achieved divine approach.
The time he achieved divine approach was exactly six months earlier than Jiang Wang. He is still wearing a black scholar’s robe, with a thin and fragile feeling rare in Western Qin.
In front of him is a huge green stone. This green stone is stationed by the Wei River, washed by the waves for many years, already smooth as a mirror, strangely without moss growing.
On the green stone sits a person, holding a rod fishing the Wei River.
Tall and thin, wearing coarse clothes, with a mask full of small seal script on his face.
Every word on the mask is not hard to recognize, strangely, what kind of article is written on the mask, no one can read it.
The mask doesn’t even expose the eyes. This person’s hand holding the rod is also wearing a pair of gloves full of small seal script.
The mask and gloves have a white background with black characters. He is Wang Xi Xu.
The Slow Armor Mister who plots for the country in coarse clothes.
Also the first person to recognize Gan Chang’an’s talent.
In the year he was eight years old, he recognized his talent as “able to Chang’an.” And he personally came to his door, recommending himself as a tutor, and then carefully guided him, up to now.
Gan Chang’an naturally respects Wang Xi Xu very much. But after a long silence, he still couldn’t help but say, “How could you think I dare not face Dou Zhao? I lost to him for a moment, I will not lose to him for a lifetime.”
With his genius, he naturally received the Dragon Palace Banquet’s invitation. The gathering of the world’s prodigious talents is exactly his good opportunity to wash away the previous shame.
But the Slow Armor Mister actually doesn’t allow him to go. He cannot understand.
“You certainly dare to face him; you naturally will not lose to him for a lifetime.” Wang Xi Xu, holding the fishing rod, looking at the Wei River, slowly said, “The so-called victory and defeat is not entirely in the courage of a single man. Chang’an, what you see is under your feet, or the distance? What you see is this Wei River, or this world?”
Gan Chang’an said, “I look at under my feet, and also see the distance. I look at this Wei River, and also look at this world.”
“But you have not seen clearly.” Wang Xi Xu said, “You are too smart; your smartness has blinded you.”
“Mister.” Gan Chang’an seriously shook his head, “I don’t understand.”
Wang Xi Xu didn’t explain too much, only saying, “Go to the demon realm. You have already learned Xu Wang’s knife technique; Qin Changsheng’s knife, you have not seen yet.”
Gan Chang’an surprisingly raised his head, “He is willing to teach me?”
Wang Xi Xu, looking at the calm water surface, only said, “Anything has a price; you need to judge accurately, act generously. I am not only speaking of money.”
