From the refreshing, generous, and bright heroic posture of Hua Ying Palace Master, this cold face appearance is truly rare.

Jiang Wang raised his hands, first surrendering and then saying, “What does Your Highness mean?”

Hua Ying Palace Master looked at him. “Can you explain the phrase ‘exchange blows’?”

Jiang Wang said seriously, “Exchange blows is, of course, a mutual discussion and encouragement, seeking to improve each other’s knowledge. But Your Highness has pioneered the Dao of Martial Arts and already shows the posture of a Grandmaster. What kind of proud person are you? How can I hold back?”

Hua Ying Palace Master said coldly, “When contending at the same realm, one should not hold back. But now you, a Cave True cultivator, are facing a Divine Arrival expert, and you are still so unrestrained. Could it be that you still want to beat this palace to death?”

In Jiang Wang’s heart, there were only four words – quite like his father!

I didn’t even hurt a single hair of yours, how did it immediately escalate to wanting to beat you to death?

He quickly said, “Your Highness’s Dao of Martial Arts is truly terrifying. If I’m not serious, it’s really hard to deal with! I will definitely pay attention next time.”

“Slow down the rhythm, let me have some fighting experience, so I can gain something from it.” Jiang Wu You sighed, “Do I have to speak such plain words to you?”

“I understand,” Jiang Wang said. “This time I truly understand.”

“As expected of the first True person in the Blue History.” Jiang Wu You casually summoned a long sword and said, “Let’s try sword technique!”

No sooner had she spoken than the sword was like a rainbow.

The person holding this sword went straight into the sky—

Crashing into the domain formed by sword energy.

Just like a flying insect crashing into a spider web, or a deer stepping into a mud pit, from which it could no longer escape.

Sword energy, covering the sky and ground, transformed into various sword styles, coming at her one after another.

Jiang Wu You horizontally struck with one sword, moving left and right in this place, fully displaying her agile posture. The sword in her palm flew back and forth, performing the Great Qi Imperial Family’s collection of sword techniques. Her waist was like a bow, the sword like a string, and her steps on the ground sounded like a flood. Even the high ponytail that undulated with her body posture was like a whip, bringing wind and thunder!

Watching her fight was a kind of enjoyment.

Strength and beauty were ultimately embodied in her.

No matter what kind of sword style came down, she would just right divide and peel it, precisely cutting it open.

The sword energy here was infinite, and her response was also infinite.

Not only that.

After breaking each sword style, she would still leave a sword mark in the air.

At first, it was not obvious, but the sword moves became faster and faster, and the sword marks also became clearer and clearer.

With every exchange as a wolf hair, unknowingly, it seemed as if a chessboard was drawn in mid-air.

Horizontal weft and vertical warp, instantly exploding, a flash of white light!

Those translucent sword marks, at this moment, actually had the edge of famous swords, spreading extremely fast in all directions with her as the center, cutting through everything. The sword energy covering the sky and ground was cleared out on the spot!

Truly good sword technique!

But the sword energy offensive she faced would not be so simple. This side was extinguished, and that side was born.

In the short blank space difficult to cut out in this heaven-shattering, earth-warping sword strike that eliminated the enemy, Jiang Wu You clearly saw – outside this domain, on the side of the training field, Jiang Wang was just sitting on a chair, crossing his legs, taking a handful of peanuts and peeling them.

And the continuously born and approaching sword energy once again filled her vision.

“Jiang Wang!” Jiang Wu You shouted.

All the sword energy in the sky scattered instantly, as if nothing existed.

Only the fine beads of sweat on Jiang Wu You’s forehead could still prove the existence of this exchange just now.

She casually flung her head, and her high ponytail drew a clear arc in the air. She casually threw the sword back to the weapon rack and walked towards Jiang Wang with large strides.

Jiang Wang smiled and invited merit, “Didn’t you just say slow down!”

Jiang Wu You was too lazy to argue and waved her hand, “Forget it, Divine Arrival against Cave True, the gap is indeed too big, there’s no meaning in exchanging blows.”

She asked again, “How did you succeed in killing a True Person?”

Jiang Wang casually handed over the peeled handful of peanuts to her and said in a relaxed tone, “Three conditions, not one can be missing. First, before the open war, he was already violently consumed by the Yong Master, and all the details of his fight with the True Person were remembered by me, and targeted preparations were made in advance. Second, I could temporarily resist his frontal attack, and my friends and I joining hands could hold his Yuan God. Third, when acting outside the country’s border, he could not call upon the country’s power. After he returned to the country, the country’s governance had already shaken, and he was instead devoured by the country’s power.”

A country master detached from the country’s power is like a military cultivator without an army, simply a tiger with its claws broken off, not to mention these claws countered before being broken off.

But what surprised Jiang Wu You the most was that Jiang Wang could temporarily resist Zhuang Gao Xian’s frontal attack. It could be said that this was the foundation of everything.

“I’m not too clear about the details of that war.” Jiang Wu You held the handful of peanuts, ate a few grains to suppress her shock, “You could kill Zhuang Gao Xian head-on at that time?”

“How is that possible?” Jiang Wang casually summoned a chair, letting Jiang Wu You sit beside him, and said, “I could only hold out for two moves, but those friends who acted together all had the ability to harm Zhuang Gao Xian, so he couldn’t ignore them. So I only needed to resist the key points.”

In fact, later Lin Xian and Bai Yu Xia could not break Zhuang Gao Xian’s defense, but this did not need to be specially mentioned.

“This also tests cooperation.” Jiang Wu You thoughtfully said, “The square sword energy spirit domain that you just released to suppress me… seems to be almost repaired into a small world?”

Ordinary people might not understand the difference between a spirit domain and a small world, but how could she, Jiang Wu You, not understand?

That step from Cave True to Derive Dao is just after the God Knowledge is greatly achieved, with the Yuan God leaving the body, refining and combining the small world to achieve the Law Body. And the Dao Body is the cultivator’s own body.

One must combine the Law Body with the Dao Body to achieve Derive Dao!

How long has Jiang Qing Yang been in the Cave True realm? Even if you count it fully, it’s only a little over a month, but he’s actually almost achieved a small world?!

To Hua Ying Palace Master, Jiang Wang did not hide anything, but he looked at the old woman who was catching Fang Tian Ghost God Halberd.

Jiang Wu You then said, “Grandma, you go rest first.”

The old woman did not speak, and her shadow was already gone.

Jiang Wang casually grabbed, and those peanut shells all burned to nothing. The firelight was thrown out from his fingers. He spread his five fingers and placed them flat in front of Jiang Wu You.

That was a red amber-like sphere, inside which fire elements flowed, complex and magnificent. There were flying birds and walking beasts, cities and houses. Meteors streaked across, flowers and grass swayed. What a vibrant picture, a scene where all things competed.

“Your Highness’s eyesight is truly good.” He said in a casual tone, “The one just now was called Yan Fu Sword Prison. This one… is called True Source Fire Realm.”

Jiang Wu You was silent for a moment.

It wasn’t about to be achieved, but already achieved!

A cultivator’s spirit domain must be ultimately sublimated before it can achieve a small world.

A vibrant small world with infinite potential can allow a cultivator to refine it with their Yuan God and then achieve the Law Body, which can move mountains and boil seas.

There are only two sources of small worlds, either a cultivator’s own spirit domain is ultimately sublimated, or they go to outer heaven to plunder.

There is no superiority or inferiority in these two choices.

A cultivator’s own spirit domain sublimation has a chance to reach perfection, but the universe is born, and there are also heaven-favored individuals.

The universe is so vast that it accommodates infinite possibilities. Every moment new worlds are generated, and every moment old worlds perish. It is also inevitable… that small worlds are often plundered by powerful individuals.

Just like Wu Wang Si Jiao and South Dou Hall Long Sheng Jun’s friendship, it started from a masterless small world. Later, in the Qi Xia war, he invited Long Sheng Jun to act.

This “masterless” in many cases does not refer to the lack of original life in that small world, but rather that no true powerful individual occupies it.

The gap between cultivators and ordinary people is so large. Except for the Inner Mansion and Outer Building realms which often intersect, every realm of cultivation is a world apart.

Standing on the mountain peak and looking down, one inevitably views all beings as ants.

Too many people are like this. Already superhuman, already transcending the vulgar, they then consider themselves no longer vulgar, and even no longer “human”.

Many cultivators fundamentally do not see ordinary people as people, let alone intelligent life in the outer heaven worlds.

This problem has been very serious since the ancient times after the demon clan heaven court was overthrown.

Ancient Human Emperor You Xiong Clan once said, “Now the superhuman bullies the vulgar, how is it different from the demon clan bullying the human clan? Wild beasts still do not kill their offspring. You and I, from vulgarity, abuse vulgarity, how are we different from pigs and dogs?”

The ancient sage Han Gui set laws, which were originally intended to protect ordinary people.

Now the laws of various countries are enforced by the Three Punishments Palace, and to a large extent, they also uphold the spirit of Legalism.

But it is only limited to the present world.

In the outer heaven worlds, indeed, few people will care.

Just like Ao Kui strongly occupying the Forest Sea Source Realm, exterminating clans at every turn, exterminating is just exterminating.

Why is it said that after伐Zhuang, Jiang Wang will soon be able to become a True Person? Why did that Liang Yi, seeing Jiang Wang’s True Source Fire Realm, immediately agree to a four-on-one fight and no longer think it was an insult?

Because everyone could see that Jiang Wang’s spirit domain at that time had already sublimated to the brink of some limit, infinitely approaching the level of a small world.

As long as the small world is completely achieved, he can Cave this “True” at any time, refining his spirit with his god within his own small world, and achieving the Yuan God.

But such a “True” is truly very small.

He is only considered “True” within his own small world. He is fundamentally not considered a True Person in the present world, and it is impossible for all realms to be constantly one.

Once the small world is scattered, just like outer heaven world cultivators, they will immediately drop their realm upon entering the present world.

Of course, Jiang Wang’s body has become three realms. Even if he takes this step, he will definitely be stronger than ordinary small world True Persons.

But for an absolute world prodigy like him, such a choice can only be said to be extremely short-sighted.

The condition Jing Country gave him at that time was to allow him to become the orthodox emperor of Zhuang Country, using the country’s power to push him to become a True Person in the present world, which is also a great path.

But the country’s power would be more of a fetter on him. Such a True Person would of course be very strong, and such a True Monarch would be even more terrifying. But he would have almost no hope of transcendence. After all, he really had no talent for governing a country. How could he compete with those heroic rulers?

If he truly wanted to contend for the world, just one Qi Emperor would be enough to hang him up and whip him repeatedly.

In Jiang Wang’s own heart, that was the shackles Jing Country gave him.

If he were the emperor of Zhuang Country, it would be impossible not to be restrained by the Dao Sect. Cave True is indeed a step to the sky, and by borrowing the country’s power, he would immediately have terrifying fighting strength. But Derive Dao would be even more difficult…

Tu Hu asked him why he didn’t become a True Person with three realms, which was asking a question with an answer already known.

And Jiang Wang tempered himself in the border wasteland, seeking to become a True Person by exterminating demons, truly grasping this world with the Dao path, thoroughly Cavifying Heaven, and achieving a True Person in the present world. In turn, the True Source Fire Realm, which originally had a period of time to achieve a small world, was instantly and ultimately sublimated.

For the Cave True realm, it can be said that he is a True Person “born” with a small world.

Originally, the ultimate sublimation of a spirit domain to achieve a small world, even for a Cave True cultivator, required long-term planning and nurturing. It was rare in the world for someone like him to have such an opportunity and coincidence, pushing the spirit domain to the critical point in the Divine Arrival realm.

So the True Demon in the border wasteland who was unwilling to reveal his surname really died without wrong.

“This realm is already formed, that realm will be formed…” Jiang Wu You looked at Jiang Wang with praise, “You actually want to cultivate into two small worlds!”

Jiang Wang shook his head. “Not exactly.”

“You don’t plan to cultivate this Yan Fu Sword Prison into a small world?” Jiang Wu You asked and answered herself, “Also, to refine into a Law Body, you only need one realm, more is also a waste.”

More small worlds are not necessarily better. If that were truly the case, where in the various heaven and ten thousand realms would there be small realms at this time? Fear is that one would be born, and one would be plundered.

“That’s not what I mean…” Jiang Wang said, receiving the True Source Fire Realm, then held up his palm. In the center of his palm was a specially manifested trace, a miniaturized Knowledge Immortal Domain. “Not two small worlds, but three.”

Even a noble descendant like Jiang Wu You was speechless once again.

It is said that from Divine Arrival to Cave True is a step from “human god” to “world god”.

This “world” is, of course, the world of the present world, but in some sense, it is more the world of the small world.

“元” is the beginning of all things.

The “Yuan God” in a cultivator’s Yuan God Sea is also the first god who opened heaven and split the earth within the small world mastered by the cultivator!

Of course, talking about Derive Dao now is really too far.

But there is no doubt that Jiang Wang’s cultivation in the small world is already too far ahead.

Finally, Jiang Wu You said, “Bo Wang Hou said that you are actually a very good at showing off person, which is indeed true. I didn’t feel it before.”

“How can he arbitrarily slander pure white people?” Jiang Wang was very dissatisfied. “I achieved the first True in the Blue History, who sees me going around saying it?”

“Right.” Jiang Wu You said, “You just took the skull of a True Demon to see the Mu Country emperor.”

Jiang Wang smiled, just like this, sitting idly beside Jiang Wu You in the training field, peeling peanuts and chatting.

After a while, he became slightly more serious. “I came to see Your Highness today not just to reminisce about old times, but to speak some words to Your Highness.”

Jiang Wu You probably already guessed what matter, patted her hand, and stood up saying, “It seems that Jiang True Person does not take this palace as a friend.”

“A friend is a friend, and a promise is a promise.” Jiang Wang’s expression was very serious. “When I left Qi, I had a big apology. It was an apology to Your Highness. I once promised Your Highness that I would definitely repay the matter of Tian Ya Terrace, but to kill Zhuang Gao Xian, I had to leave Qi. At that time, I dared not say anything to Your Highness because I was not sure if I could live. And now I want to tell Your Highness that my promise is still effective. No matter when, no matter what matter, you notify me, and I will arrive.”

“You don’t owe me any promise. I have already made my request to you.” Jiang Wu You looked at him. “Unless you don’t plan to forgive Qi Shuai.”

Jiang Wang said, “Does Your Highness know that I went to see Qi Shuai? Before I came to Hua Ying Palace.”

Hua Ying Palace Master did not conceal it. “Naturally.”

“Aren’t you worried I’ll do something?”

“You won’t.”

“Why?”

“If you wanted to kill her, you wouldn’t go to see the emperor first. You would come to see me first, because at that time you had already promised me.” Jiang Wu You said, “Perhaps you will not fear the risk of killing her. But you will certainly not disregard the promise you gave this palace, nor will you disregard my father emperor’s mood.”

Jiang Wang said, “I cannot deceive you, I cannot forgive her. But I will not do anything to her either. So I still owe you one promise.”

Hua Ying Palace Master is not a coy person, so she no longer refused, only saying, “In the end, is it because I made you promise a matter too difficult, or because you want to repay me too much?”

“Perhaps both!” Jiang Wang said with a warm smile, “Your Highness has invested so many times, there should be one time you can get a return.”

Jiang Wu You laughed. “If Xiu Zhang heard this, she would definitely curse you in her heart.”

After all, she was his friend’s former fiancée, Jiang Wang could not make a joke about Liu Xiu Zhang, only smiled, then changed the subject, “Just now during the exchange, Your Highness’s Dao of Martial Arts truly opened my eyes.”

Jiang Wu You stood with her hands behind her back under the night curtain. “Jiang True Person is willing to call that an exchange of blows, which saves this palace a lot of face.”

Jiang Wang looked at the training field in front, as if seeing the countless bitter nights beside this noble descendant. That was the time when the Dao of Martial Arts had not yet been pioneered, cultivation was delayed, brothers were stronger than one another, with the heart to contend for the dragon, but seemed to be getting farther and farther away… It was that kind of time.

That kind of loneliness and firmness made people admire her.

So people would say, “The Jiang Clan has a daughter named Wu You, who is probably too ashamed to be seen by the men of the world”!

Hua Ying Palace Master, born in Yuan Feng year twenty-four, is thirty-five years old this year. For a superhuman cultivator, she is of course still very young. But she achieved the Divine Arrival realm at an age that had already passed the line that could be called an absolute world prodigy.

It was not that she could not, but that her firm Dao of Martial Arts had stagnated for how many years in between.

“What was Your Highness’s mood like during those days when the Dao of Martial Arts was not achieved?” Jiang Wang asked.

Jiang Wu You raised her head and looked at the night sky. “It was the same as the night curtain in front of me, all very dark. It was also not the same as the night curtain in front of me. The night is dark, but you know that it will brighten up at dawn, so you are not afraid. And the dawn of life, I don’t know when it will come – I know that the future day I want will come, but I really don’t know, how long I still have to wait for that day.”

“Is contending for the dragon very important to Your Highness?” Jiang Wang also raised his eyes and looked at the night sky. “Your Highness has endured so many years and paid many hardships. Finally, you have pioneered the Dao of Martial Arts yourself, and the road ahead is a smooth path. Country power is not necessarily helpful to Your Highness.”

Jiang Wu You was silent for a moment and said, “Contending for the dragon is very important to me.”

Jiang Wang did not pursue the specific reason. He was not the kind of person who must stir up people’s heartfelt matters. He just nodded. “Then, I understand.”

But Jiang Wu You said, “No one has dared to tell you before, right? The one inside the Blue Stone Palace is my full-blooded sibling brother.”

Boom boom boom!

Suddenly there was thunder and lightning, tearing the night sky.
