Chapter 140: Proceed as You Go

ther stood.Both are young and both are proud.Their eyes met, and in their gaze, there was no sign of retreat."I now believe, you really just passed through."The visitor finally straightened their body...I cast a fleeting glance out the window. "Do we know each other"

“Mo Jingyu, a powerful warrior from the Mo Sect,” Jiang Wang said calmly. “This is the third time we’ve met.”

To be precise, the first time was just "hearing." He was still waiting for death under the altar of the dilapidated Taoist temple, in that battle that changed his life, he heard the cry of an eagle and the name Mo Jingyu.

It wasn't until the second time, at the Wei Ning Marquis's mansion in Yong Nation, that he truly "saw" her. Back then, he disguised himself as a guest celebrating a birthday, possessing the cultivation of two mansions and two divine powers, while Mo Jingyu was seated among the esteemed guests of the Yong Nation Wei Ning Marquis.

Today is the third time. He has already become a cultivator outside the Heavenly Mansion, with imminent divine presence, sitting calmly in the prison tower. Mo Jingyu once again rode an eagle to arrive, still flying very high, but no longer so unattainable.

"Do you have any grudges Any grievances" I asked him casually.

“It’s not hatred, nor is it resentment. Some things are intertwined with cause and effect, making right and wrong unclear.” Jiang Wang said, “However, after the divine arrival, I will have a battle with him.”

"So that's how it is…" Zhu Wei looked out the window again. That divine son of the Mo Gate, he had an aura of overwhelming power.

Let me know if you have more text you'd like translated!

He whispered, "I've already started looking forward to that day."

Jiang Wang didn't doubt his ability to descend as a deity, and Zhu Wei also didn't doubt his ability to do so.

Because for Jiang Wang, that step was simply a matter of course.

While Xiao Shu was a prodigious talent, he differed from those of the same echelon in that... before truly achieving it, Xiao Shu couldn't exactly manifest his divine presence.

Even with the unprecedented construction of a star road and preparations for Liushi Dan, his chances were simply greatly increased.

"Opportunity" and "certain success" represent the gap between non-elite and elite.

Of course, true strength lies in seizing opportunities.

These days, more and more people have come to the city walls surrounding Xiao Shu to witness his divine arrival.

Whether Xiao Shu could successfully incarnate and whether Zhang Xun could succeed in blocking the door and killing him, these two betting options were incredibly popular.

Since Xiao Shu connected the Star Road and began building the remaining three star towers, even more people came to Bu Xie City.

In just five days, the ransom revenue of Unredeemed City has surged severalfold.

The gatekeeper, already struggling to manage on his own, now has twenty guards from both teams at the door collecting money.

There are people who come to watch the show without paying. But in a place like Bu-Xiongcheng, where bandits are everywhere, most people are still willing to pay for their safety or simply to avoid trouble.

Being able to save Xiao Shu's life under Zhang Xun's command, and not requiring a ransom for the city, has already provided sufficient persuasion.

But looking at the whole Unredeemed City, over all these days and all these people, Mo Jingyu is undoubtedly the most influential one.

>

Of noble lineage, divinely gifted in cultivation, they deserve to be watched anywhere in the world.

At this moment, he arrived riding a giant hawk. Amidst the myriad of curious gazes, he soared over the city walls and hovered above Xiao Shu.

He stood on the back of this outwardly menacing puppet giant eagle, his hands hanging slightly.

The Xuantie mask concealed his expression, but his voice echoed throughout the city: "Mo Jingyu of Mo Gate, representing Emperor Yong. I come with no other purpose than to prevent a pearl from being obscured and a talent from being wasted! Xiao Shu, if you are willing to join the Yong Kingdom and pledge allegiance to our emperor, the losses you have inflicted on Dan Kingdom will be compensated by Yong Kingdom. And we will resolve the conflict between you and Dan Kingdom."

Mo Jingyu is here to recruit Xiao Shu!

The onlookers were stunned for a moment, then they understood.

>

At the moment Mo Jingyu arrived riding an eagle, Xiao Shu's plan seemed to be very clear.

>

Why would he go through so much trouble to escape to a place like Unredemption City Why set a limit of forty days, attracting so many eyes and making this a highly anticipated divine descent

To be completely honest, even if he performed a miracle today, even if he became a god, he wouldn't be Zhang Xun's match. At most, he would have some room to struggle and try to escape.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Moreover, burdened by the pursuit of the Dan Kingdom, even if he were a god, he could not live freely.

But if he was simply displaying his talent in anticipation of a high price, then everything seems to make sense...

Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!

This is the perfect way to break the deadlock.

In a place geographically unique like Buduc, he used the gimmick of forty days of assault on divine presence to attract much attention.

He demonstrated his extraordinary value, naturally some people would weigh the trouble he carried. The higher the value he displayed, the more people were willing to pay.

Before he demonstrated the possibility of striking a divine realm within forty days, no power would dare risk offending the Dan Nation to protect him. But after he displayed this possibility, this value, it seemed that facing the Dan Nation was not an absolute no-go option...

If one could obtain a divine presence, a monstrous talent, especially at such a young age, then what is there to fear about offending the Dan Nation

Mo Jingyu was just the first person to bid.

Perhaps not the last one.

>

At this very moment, Xiao Shu is still diligently refining his Starry Sky Pavilion and has not responded to Mo Jingyu's recruitment.

Outside the city gate, Zhang Xun, however, had opened his eyes.

He looked at the Mohist disciples on the back of the giant eagle, and said coldly: "I'm afraid there are some losses you can't make up for, and some conflicts that you can't resolve."

Zhang Xun's words were not polite.

Even if you were in his shoes, it would be hard to be polite.

Mo Jingyu merely turned his head to look at him, his voice devoid of both joy and sorrow: "Brother Zhang, there is no need to be angry. If Xiao Shu truly agrees to become a citizen of Yong Guo, I will personally demonstrate Yong Guo's sincerity to your country and have a good discussion with you."

When Jiang Wang first saw Mo Jingyu at the Wei Ning Marquis's Mansion in Yong Guo, she was puzzled by his identity. After all, this man had previously been ordered by the Qin state to participate in the assassination of Zuo Guanglie. But later, he was able to thrive in Yong Guo like a fish in water.

This time it's been confirmed, that person is indeed now a citizen of Yong Guo.

...Whether he was following the overall strategy of the Mo Sect, or had completely pledged allegiance to the new emperor of Yongguo, Han Xu…

In Jiang Wang's view, the former possibility is greater.

After all, he is a person of "divine and luminous" stature. His will is firm and hard to influence by external factors.

Prior to supporting the Yong Kingdom, Mo School was similar to the San Xing Gong, adopting a path of “Those who learn from me need not reciprocate,” focusing solely on spreading the Taoist lineage without being bound by national boundaries.

After being supported in supporting Yongguo and established as the only orthodox school in Yongguo, it became somewhat similar to the path of Taoism.

As a disciple of the Mohist school, it is understandable that Mo Jingyu would prioritize the needs of his school and forgo development in other countries to build a nation that serves the interests of the Mo family.

"There is nothing to communicate."

Zhang Xun stood up and leaped directly into the air, facing off against Mo Jingyu from afar.

Xiao Shu had cultivated for thirty-five days, and he had also waited quietly for thirty-five days, cultivating a heart that had been tempered for thirty-five days. He ignored the many sarcastic voices and scornful glances.

But today, I cannot sit down any longer.

"To kill one person is to kill, to kill two people is also to kill." He said: "Anyone who dares to protect Xiao Shu is my enemy, Zhang Xun's enemy."

Mo Jingyu gave him a deep look and said in a flat tone, "I advise you not to do so."

They looked at each other from high above, neither one willing to back down.

The atmosphere became solemn.

The confrontation between the two powerful deities pushed this turmoil to a new climax.

But the protagonist of this storm, Xiao Shu, remained silent.

Within the silence, extraordinary changes were taking place.

He gently inhaled, and the purple qi rising from his face was all absorbed into his body.

Four stars at the horizon shimmered and flashed brightly, then disappeared abruptly, along with the clear star path.

Thus, everyone knew that his Four Stellar Sky Palaces had already been erected!

Only then did he open his eyes and chuckle softly, "I'm still breaking through, you guys are getting your swords drawn here, it's very distracting."

Mo Jingyu looked at him and said, "Your Majesty saved the country in times of crisis, revitalized the nation, and had grand ambitions for all ages. He sincerely awaits talented individuals from all over the world! Xiao Shu, you are exactly the talent Your Majesty needs, and you also need a place like Yongguo. Today, I sincerely invite you, please give it careful consideration."

"For twenty years I lived in Dan Guo, and Dan Guo did not know I was a talented person." Xiao Shu sighed: "I didn't expect that after only thirty days of coming here to redeem the city, even the people of Yong Guo knew I was a talented person!"

"A talented person without virtue is a menace to the world!" Zhang Xun, standing in mid-air, glared angrily and said: "Last year, we both went to Guanhetai together. Your treatment was never less than mine. The Dan Kingdom nurtured you for twenty years, granting you honors, wealth, education from renowned masters, and the true transmission of secret arts... All this, yet all you've given back is stealing the elixir and running away, ruining our nation's generations-old legacy of Yuanshi Dan! And now you have the audacity to say that the Dan Kingdom doesn't know talent!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, looking like he was about to charge over here at any moment.

But an invisible pressure enveloped him, making him understand the meaning behind the Lord of the City's refusal.

He could never cross the city gate line.

Zhang Xun said here how Xiao Shu had talent but no virtue, Xiao Shu did not say a word in rebuttal, Mo Jingyu also seemed indifferent.

He simply said to Xiao Shu again, "Since the new emperor ascended the throne in our Yong Kingdom, we have been impartial and chosen talents regardless of their background. We have eradicated old problems, reformed the government, and given birth to a new nation where heroes can find solace... Today's Yong Kingdom is just right for talented young men like you to make a name for themselves! Come with me now, Yong Kingdom guarantees your safety and will give you more time and resources to prepare to challenge Shen Lin. Of course, I don't want to force you to make a decision. The sincerity of Yong Kingdom is here, and you have plenty of time to consider. I won't disturb you now, focus on your cultivation."

Yong Guo is indeed sincere.

They had practically given Xiao Shu a completely safe way out. Now, Xiao Shu could completely withdraw from this adventure, join Yong Guo, and solidify his cultivation in the outer courtyard. Then, with better material preparation, he could attempt to break through to the "I am God's Arrival" realm.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

They are willing to pay the price of a divine realm for Xiao Shu's current state outside the realm, only because they expect his future in the divine realm.

Han Xu was indeed a generous monarch!

After the news of Xiao Shu's meticulous carving of the Star Road and the complete establishment of four Holy Towers spread, there were undoubtedly many forces that were moved by him.

But only the Yong Kingdom, at the first moment, dispatched a divine presence like Mo Jingyu to personally arrive in Bu Xue City.

This sincerity is unmatched.

But Xiao Shu, just closed his eyes once again.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He responded to none of it: the criticisms of Dan Guo and the sincerity of Yong Guo.

There were no more strange occurrences in the heavens or on earth, but everyone knew that he had begun preparing for his final push.

Although we can't see what's happening inside him, he must be meticulously going over himself, striving to bring himself to his peak condition.

For the time being, no one made any more major commotion.

There are only five days left until Xiao Shu's God Arrives.

Everyone is waiting.

“Mo Jingyu, representing the Yong nation, has arrived. Will Du Ruhui come” On the prison tower, Jiang Wang asked.

“No.” Zhu Wei said to me very firmly, “Zhuang Guo is too close to Dan Guo. The pressure is too great, they wouldn't want Xiao Shu. Since Xiao Shu is useless to Zhuang Guo, then even if he caused a big commotion here, Du Ruhui wouldn't give him a second glance.”

Jiang Wangxin knew that Zhu Wei must understand Du Ruhui better than she did, so she asked, "If there was no influence from Dan Guo, and if Xiao Shu was useful to Zhuang Guo, what would Du Ruhui have done"

"I told Wei, 'Even if he has to crawl, he'll get in front of Xiao Shu. He'll sincerely tell Xiao Shu—'The future of the Zhuang Kingdom depends on you!'"

Jiang Wang sighed: "We're sitting here watching the show now, and I always feel like I'm napping on Tiger Mountain. It makes me uneasy."

I calmly said, "The tiger is indeed there."

Jiang Wang chose not to engage with the provocation, after all, he wasn't a divine being with an indestructible physique. He couldn't take a beating, so he simply said, "There are only a few days left. Let's see how Xiao Shu chooses."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Actually, for Xiao Shu at present, Yongguo is indeed the best choice.

Looking across the entire Western Regions, there aren't many countries that could stand up to Dan Guo. Countries like Cheng, Mo, Luo, and Jiao wouldn't dare to harbor Xiao Shu.

Qin Guo didn't feel any pressure at all, but they probably didn't think highly of Xiao Shu either. It was fine if Xiao Shu went to seek refuge elsewhere; there was no need for them to send someone a long distance to compete for him.

The newly emerged state of Zhuang is too close to the state of Dan. If Zhuang openly harbors traitors from Dan, even if Dan tries to pretend they don't see it, they can't ignore it.

In vying for Xiao Shu, Yong Guo had such a significant advantage. However, Han Xu did not leverage this to drive down the price. Instead, he pledged to resolve all of Xiao Shu's problems and didn't require him to achieve Shen Lin status immediately. He was even willing to guarantee his safety beforehand. After bringing him back to Yong Guo, he would offer better conditions to help him ascend to Shen Lin – such terms were rare throughout the land and undoubtedly a testament to the immense respect shown towards Xiao Shu.

Therefore, Mo Jingyu came here in person this time with great confidence.

However, Xiao Shu still chose to continue attacking Shen Lin.

Right here, right now.

It's not just because he believes in his own path.

It's not just because the path to success is fraught with obstacles and requires a relentless march forward. Sometimes, even the most abundant resources can't compare to this kind of spirit. If we lose our courage today, there might not be any achievements tomorrow...

These are all reasons, but not the most important one.

He just chose to hold his destiny in his own hands.

Just as he refused the advice of high-ranking officials in Dan Nation, so too did he choose to venture into the perilous Sea and Mountain Realm.

Just as he had personally reclaimed the Six Senses Pill.

Though Yongguo is his best choice at this stage, once he achieves the status of a god, the sky will be his limit. The world is vast, and there are countless other options to choose from.

He is certainly capable of achieving it.

The Shan Hai Realm underwent extraordinary changes, approximately coinciding with Huang Wei Zhen's involvement.

He believed that the vague connection between Unredeemed City and Huang Wei was real, and now Unredeemed City has unprecedented security.

That's why he made every effort to escape here.

This step was a gamble, but in his view, the outcome had already been decided.
