From the Yun Nation to the Qi Nation, they passed through 17 nations and three sects' territories.
When they returned to the Yun Nation from the Qi Nation, they adjusted their route and only bypassed the You Nation. The distance traveled was further than before, but the time taken was shortened by a lot.
After all, the white-haired youth who walked down the Cloud Ascension Stairs was only in the Heavenly Cycle Realm. The current him was already at the Inner Palace of the Divine Ability, and he could be considered a powerhouse anywhere.
Of course, because they passed by many forces along the way, they couldn't travel at the fastest speed.
Jiang Wang's personality was not flamboyant, and the less trouble, the better. They also had the ability to protect themselves most of the time, so there were no twists and turns along the way.
On the 24th day of the 10th month of the 3918th year of the Dao calendar, Jiang Wang defeated Lei Zhanqian, and became famous in the Qi Realm. On the same day, he quietly left Linzi alone with a sword.
On the 21st day of the winter, Jiang Wang already had one foot in the Yun Nation's territory.
In the Great Illusionary Realm, the Inner Mansion Realm ranking was still not in the top 100. Of course, this was related to Jiang Wang not going to the Sword Discourse Arena many times. But at the same time, Jiang Wang could also feel that after reaching the Inner Mansion Realm, the speed of completing battle matches in the Sword Discourse Arena had obviously slowed down.
This should be able to explain that the number of Inner Mansion Realm cultivators in the Great Illusionary Realm was far less than the previous realms.
And his blessed land had also dropped to the 38th place, Xiaoyao Mountain.
The number of rooms in the First Inner Mansion that he explored had now reached the 3,000th room — he could no longer find any secret treasures, but it was always a good thing to know more about himself.
The so-called cultivators were nothing more than exploring the outside world and exploring themselves inwardly.
After passing the Overturning Sea Tribulation, the power of the soul had greatly increased, and the efficiency of exploring the rooms in the Inner Mansion had also greatly increased. Although the further he went, the more difficult it was. If the soul went too deep, it was easy to be unable to turn back.
In short, there was a stable improvement in swordsmanship and Taoist techniques, but overall, because he had not opened the Second Inner Mansion, there was no qualitative improvement.
And the way forward, he woke up and slept, walking and stopping, was the same as before. There were no changes. He was still unshaven and dispirited.
To be precise, he was more unkempt than before. After all, it was inevitable that he was covered in dust from tens of thousands of miles. He was also someone who didn't wash up much.
There were many mountains in the Yun Nation, and the mountains were extremely tall.
Turning a mountain into a city was not a great miracle in the world of cultivation, but Jiang Wang had never seen a country built on a mountain before.
All the big mountain cities in the Yun Nation were connected by ropeways. The innermost capital city was directly connected to the four main cities by a rainbow bridge. The residents of the entire Yun Nation lived in the misty mountains.
When Jiang Wang first came to the Yun Nation, he was shocked by this.
However, after traveling for so long, she no longer had that feeling of amazement when she arrived at the Yun Nation. After all, he had seen too many magnificent things. Just the Xuankong Temple alone was more magnificent than these mountain cities.
After arriving in the Yun Country, Jiang Wang didn't go to Yun City immediately. Instead, he found an inn to rest.
Along the way, all the inns and restaurants Jiang Wang booked were of average quality. Only the inn he chose in the Yun Nation should be the best in the entire city.
Moreover, he asked for two superior rooms, and the price was shocking.
The Yun Nation's commerce was prosperous, and all the pastimes were expensive to the extreme.
Of course, this wasn't what puzzled Xiang Qian.
"Didn't you want to see your sister? Why did you stop here?"
"The surprise I prepared hasn't arrived yet, so I have to wait for another day." Jiang Wang smiled happily. "Moreover, I'm going to see An 'an soon. I can't be dirty. I have to burn incense, take a bath, and change into a clean set of clothes."
The expression on Xiang Qian's face was unclear whether it was envy or jealousy. He curled his lips. "Damn fastidious!"
After saying that, he returned to his room.
But that night, when Jiang Wang went out to arrange the "surprise," he happened to bump into Xiang Qian returning to his room.
He saw him wearing thick clothes, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist, and his hair neatly tied up. Even the stubble on his face had been carefully trimmed. Although his skills weren't very good, it was still …
He seemed to have been completely reborn.
At first glance, he looked a lot younger. Of course, upon closer inspection, he still had that dispirited dead fish face.
Jiang Wang looked at him funnily. "Damn fastidious?"
"Ha!" Xiang Qian walked into his room with his head held high and arrogantly closed the door with his heel.
…
…
In this world, "reunion" was sometimes a luxury.
For some people, it wasn't just a luxury, but it was also fragile, cold, and unattainable.
Sometimes, they would rather it be a luxury. That way, no matter the cost, at least there would be a day when it would be realized. No matter how expensive it was, at least there was a possibility of redemption.
However, anyone who was clear-headed knew that in this world, the meaning of the word "rather" was generally untenable.
A huge warship sailed on the vast and mighty Qing River.
Ever since the Zhuang Emperor ascended to True Cave, the Qing River Underwater Prefecture lived an honest life. In the past, the entire eight hundred miles of Qing River was the private land of the Shui tribe. Regardless of whether it was a merchant ship or the navy of the Zhuang Country, they had to report to the Zhuang Country.
Now, this was no longer necessary. Every mountain, water, grass, and tree in the Zhuang Country completely belonged to the Zhuang Country. Therefore, the soldiers of the Zhuang Country should be able to come and go freely in any place in the country.
Of course, if one wasn't afraid of death, perhaps one could use the area of Maplewood City to refute this statement. After all, there was land in the Zhuang Country that didn't belong to the Zhuang Country. Those were the wounds that had been carved out, the ugly scars that were exposed in this country.
Unfortunately, there were very few people who weren't afraid of death. No one had ever mentioned this before.
Moreover, the White Bone Path had disappeared without a trace. It was almost completely razed. The Life Memorial Tablet erected outside Maplewood City seemed to be enough of a consolation.
This was a thriving place. This was a country that was growing rapidly, and everyone was happy. After all, those who probably wouldn't be happy were no longer here.
The warship on the surface of Qing River carried the soldiers that had just retreated from the Zhuang Mo border.
Ever since Zhuang Gaoxian personally took action with the power of True Cave and forcibly ceded ten cities of the Mo Kingdom, there had been no more large-scale wars at the Zhuang Mo border. However, small-scale conflicts had never stopped.
After all, these ten cities had just been ceded not long ago. It wasn't enough for the Mo Kingdom's soldiers to get used to this fact.
With the secret support of the Qin Kingdom, the Mo Kingdom didn't have to worry about a large-scale invasion from the Zhuang Country. There was no need to prohibit small-scale conflicts. In fact, the Mo Kingdom's imperial court wouldn't prohibit it at all. The humiliation that the Mo Kingdom's soldiers and civilians had suffered needed an outlet.
Every time a border conflict killed one or two soldiers of the Zhuang Country, the Mo Kingdom's people would be happy for a long time.
From a broader perspective, the continuous small-scale conflicts between the Mo Kingdom and the Zhuang Country were exactly what the Qin Kingdom was happy to see. They were even secretly pushing for this. The Qin Kingdom made a lot of money through its support of the Mo Kingdom. At the same time, it wanted to restrict the Zhuang Country's space for growth. Of course, this couldn't be said openly.
On the deck, a general sat cross-legged alone.
He was a bearded general who looked quite old. At the moment, he wasn't on the battlefield. However, he was still wearing his armor. The entire armor was dark red. It was caused by the repeated soaking of blood. It couldn't be washed off.
The sky was bright and the water was clear. The general was silent.
He sat alone on the deck in silence. However, when they passed a fork in the waterway, he suddenly stood up and walked back to the cabin without saying a word.
The deputy general who was guarding the side of the ship sighed deeply in his heart.
He knew that his general couldn't bear to see his homeland.
