Chapter 304: Mourning Heaven Fate

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After exchanging pleasantries, the Crown Prince Consort mustered her courage and revealed her intentions.

“I would like to ask you to bless Xuannian and Xuanzhen so that they could have a peaceful life.”

The Crown Prince Consort spoke carefully, and Jiang Changsheng could not help but laugh when he heard that.

He said, “Everyone has their own fate, but doing good deeds is blessed by fate.” This was not a lie. Hell would test the good karma of the deceased. If they were virtuous enough, they would have better choices and homes after death. If they were unvirtuous, they would have to atone for their sins in Hell and would not be reincarnated in the future unless they accumulated enough good karma.

Yellow Springs had begun to appear around Hell. The Yellow Springs contained the power of reincarnation. Once it was formed, the souls of Hell could reincarnate. From Skyview Land, it would continuously radiate to the entire martial arts world until it would control the cycle of reincarnation.

It was Jiang Changsheng who decided on the fate of good and evil. Hell was only a magical weapon that could spy on the souls of the dead. Good would also be rewarded and evil would always be punished. This was what Jiang Changsheng felt was reasonable and could lessen the resentment between people.

The Crown Prince Consort sighed and said, “Ever since the war with the Qiangliang Race, undercurrents have been surging and imperial power has been increasingly restricted. I’m worried…”

Jiang Changsheng understood what she meant and said, “It’s not easy to be born into the imperial family. The heavens are fair. You are born to be superior to the common people, so the dangers you face will naturally be greater. Teach him well and have him grasp his fate. In addition, Ziyu once said that family should not be at odds with each other.”

The Crown Prince Consort revealed a smile, but she was still worried. “If that were to happen, even if the other party were to take revenge, my two children…”

Jiang Changsheng pulled three strands of hair from his head and said, “Have them bring it with them. If necessary, these strands of hair can keep them alive. Take one with you.”

After so many years, only the Crown Prince Consort had brought her two sons to visit him. As an elder, he naturally had to express his gratitude.

The Crown Prince Consort was pleasantly surprised. She hastily took the three strands of hair and knelt before Jiang Changsheng.

This time, Jiang Changsheng did not stop her.

At this moment, Venerable Bai said in surprise, “This kid’s luck is not simple.”

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at him. He stood beside Mu Lingluo and stared at Jiang Xuanzhen in her arms.

Jiang Tianming and Jiang Xuannian also looked at Venerable Bai.

Bai Qi curiously asked, “Why is it not simple?” Venerable Bai shook his head and said, “I can’t say.”

“Tsk, deliberately mystifying things.”

Bai Qi said with disdain, but she did not ask further. She guessed that it might be because he was worried about the Crown Prince Consort and Jiang Xuannian.

The Crown Prince Consort stood up and wanted to say something but hesitated.

Jiang Changsheng said, “Go back. I have received your kind intentions.”

The Crown Prince Consort nodded and could only walk over to take Jiang Xuanzhen before leaving with Jiang Xuannian.

“Xuannian, come and play when you’re free!” Jiang Tianming said reluctantly.

Jiang Xuannian nodded. He also had a favorable impression of this three-eyed great-granduncle of his.

Just like that, the Crown Prince Consort and the other two left.

The Sword God lamented, “The Emperor and the Crown Prince are not even comparable to a woman.”

Ye Xun smiled and said, “Men can’t lose face sometimes. Besides, he’s the Emperor.”

Everyone followed suit and teased the current Emperor. Even though the arrival of the Crown Prince Consort and the other two was short, it brought joy to the courtyard and made the atmosphere more lively.

“Venerable Bai, what’s going on with that little imperial grandson?” Ji Wujun looked at Venerable Bai and asked.

Looking at the world, he felt that no other dynasty could compare to Great Guangtian. However, he did not know much about Great Jing because he could not find out where it was.

If the Martial Emperor Island was still here, he could still observe Great Jing’s luck and make a judgment.

Lin Hongchen took a deep breath and slowly stood up from the pool.

“Wan’er, I should go and see you too.”

In the 9th year of the De Huang Era, Great Jing was peaceful.

Jiang Han was reviewing the memorials in the imperial study when the God of Thieves entered the room and said, “Your Majesty, I’ve investigated. An Chang, who has recently received the favor of His Highness the Crown Prince, is Saint Qi’s disciple who has followed him for hundreds of years.”

“Saint Qi? That’s not bad. At least his roots are clean. In that case, let him continue to follow the Crown Prince. In the future, we might be able to use him to mobilize the power of the Dao Ancestor Sect.”

Jiang Han revealed a smile. He knew best how useless his son was. He would be happy if he could obtain the help of a large faction. Moreover, he admired Saint Qi’s character very much. Everyone knew that Saint Qi had traveled the world for two hundred years and erected statues for the Dao Ancestor, promoting an anti-war campaign. The Dao of Civil and Martial Arts he established had also pushed the progress of scholars.

Outside the court, the Dao Ancestor, Saint Qi, and Saint Guan were existences that the world revered. One ancestor and two saints hung above the martial arts world. The most popular thing was that the two saints both respected the Dao Ancestor.

The God of Thieves hesitated for a moment and said, “Ever since you issued the new rules, the vassal kings of various places have agreed to reduce their forces on the surface, but they have also delayed the matter with money, taxes, resettlement, and various other things. A year has passed, but none of the vassal kings have really reduced their forces. Your Majesty, this is not a good sign.”

When Jiang Han heard that, his expression turned cold.

The imperial study fell into silence.

After a long while.

Jiang Han slowly said, “What do you think if I were to cut a vassal king first?”

The God of Thieves said, “I and the White-robed Guards have investigated the crimes of the vassal kings everywhere. If Your Majesty insists, I will choose the worst vassal king, but the other vassal kings will not let the matter rest.”

At that moment, a eunuch hurried in and said, “Your Majesty, the King of the Northern Frontier requests an audience.” The King of the Northern Frontier?

Jiang Han raised his eyebrows and said, “Let him in.”

The God of Thieves immediately walked to one side and lowered his head to wait.

After a while, the King of the Northern Frontier quickly walked into the imperial study. He looked at Jiang Han and laughed. “Your Majesty is so diligent. You’re much better than the previous emperor.”

Jiang Han smiled and said, “I wonder why the King of the Northern Frontier has traveled thousands of miles to look for me?”

The King of the Northern Frontier shot a glance at the God of Thieves. Then, he stepped forward and took out a commander’s seal from his sleeve. He placed it on the table and said, “Do it. If Your Majesty still wants to stabilize the dynasty, cutting off the vassal countries is a must. If you cut off the military power of the vassal kings, the aristocratic families will definitely be shocked. I am willing to support Your Majesty.”

Jiang Han was moved. He took a deep look at the commander’s seal and asked,

“I am curious. You are also a vassal king. Why do you support me?”

The King of the Northern Frontier grinned and said, “Because I am a member of the Jiang Family, and I don’t want the dynasty to be in turmoil.” “Then, King of the Northern Frontier, are you really willing?”

“I was unwilling in the past, but I have been to Longqi Mountain and completely let go. Now that His Majesty is in a predicament, I naturally have to take the lead.”

“The Dao Ancestor ordered you to help me?”

Jiang Han asked in shock. He was pleasantly surprised. As expected, his ancestor still cared about him.

The King of the Northern Frontier declined to comment. “I met someone in the Dao Ancestor’s courtyard. This matter has yet to spread, and that is, the youngest son of Mingzong was born in the Grotto-heaven realm. As long as the Dao Ancestor does not wish for the dynasty to be in turmoil, this child will be a cauldron to stabilize the country.”

As soon as he said this, Emperor Jiang Han’s expression changed drastically. Jiang Che’s youngest son was called the Son of God by the world, but no one knew where he was. Many people had even forgotten the existence of the Son of God, including him, the Emperor.

Born as a Grotto-Heaven realm expert…

An unprecedented sense of powerlessness surged in Jiang Han’s heart..
