Chapter One Hundred and Sixty: The State of Floating Zhou

at first opportunity, dodging a dangerous situation!This is not a place like the Celestial Treasure Realm, he has no need to fight Wang Yiwu to the death here. This is Linzi!This is the bustling Dongj...Latest URL:

The wind outside blows the bell, while a lone person sits within.

"This wine...." Fang Yuyou's head poked out from the side of the wine jar, squinting at Jiang Wang waving outside before closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.

Fang Yuan'you let out an "Oh" and, clutching the wine jar, clumsily descended the stairs. A while later.

"Lord!" Fang Yuan You rushed up the stairs again. Jiang Wang opened his eyes and looked at him inquiringly.

Fang Yuyou's wine jar was gone, and he simply reported: "Two people arrived on the island, claiming to be here to fulfill the duties of the Tai Xu Scroll. They want to meet you."

I edged a few steps closer and whispered, "Disciples of Haoran Academy."

As the head of the Houfu personal guard, Fang Yuyou dared to ask for a meeting with Jiang Wang despite knowing he was recuperating. His identity must be extraordinary.

The vast Haoran Academy had branches in Song, Zheng, and Li countries. All were quite large and held a certain degree of influence on court affairs. The three branches were equal in importance and could all be considered headquarters.

They implement a unique rotating system of deans, with a term of ten years per rotation. Internally, it is referred to as "Song Zheng," "Zheng Zheng," or "Li Zheng."

The three academies are formidable, with reputations that earned them the title "the fifth-best academy in the world".

Of course, as is well known, there are only four academies in the world that can rank among the top powers and stand shoulder to shoulder with the major top-tier sects. They are Diligent Study, Dragon Gate, Qingya, and Dusk Drum, ranked in order of their prowess.

"The world's fifth academy," the name has always been there, but the academy under the name has changed countless times.

After the rain, spring shoots sprout everywhere, each one wanting to improve.

"Haoran Academy, Tai Xu Scroll...." Jiang Wang was a little confused: "What do they want from me"

Fang Yuanyou shook his head: "He didn't say the specifics, just that he wanted to meet you face-to-face."

The people below actually went to him and complained, saying that the two disciples from Haoran Academy who visited Fu Island were extremely arrogant. But he didn't intend to report it to the Marquis. He was a soldier who had lived on the edge of a knife, he didn't understand any great principles. He only knew that the Marquis took him under his command to do things, not to cause trouble.

In Linzi, in the past, it was the same. He almost never started conflicts with people. Sometimes, when someone had too much to drink and acted recklessly at a banquet, he would just smile.

"Where are those two people now" Jiang Wang asked casually.

Fang Yuyou said, "They are still outside the floating island. My brothers did not let them in without your orders."

The Sea Clan forces in the Dingmao domain have been purged, and construction of a human camp has begun. The soldiers stationed at the boundary river do not obstruct the entry or exit of human cultivators.

But this is different for the Floating Islands, especially the one where Marquis Wu'an resides. It is a vital military stronghold and not just anyone can come here.

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

Let them come.

Jiang Wang was actually quite interested in learning more about these academies. After all, they represented the most prestigious academic pursuits of the time, and understanding the various schools of Confucian thought held great value. He was also interested in the development of the Tai Xu scroll.

Xu Ze Ming first mentioned the Tai Xu Scroll to him on his way to represent the state in Mu Guo. In just over a year, according to Fu Yan Qing, the Tai Xu Scroll had already begun to influence the situation in the Netherworld.

This development speed is not slow.

Fang Yuyou left in a hurry, but the two visitors from Haoran Academy arrived even more urgently.

Before Fang Yuyou could lead the way and knock on the door, a booming voice rang out from outside the building: "Hao Ran Academy's Qiao Hongyi and Jiang Cuilin! Greetings to Qi Guo Wu An Hou!"

Jiang Wang raised his eyes and saw a pair of figures gracefully approaching from afar.

The man was handsome with an air of righteousness, while the woman possessed a delicate figure and refined features. One had the physique of gold and marrow, the other resembled a starlit tower; both certainly couldn't be considered weaklings. "Come, please sit!" Jiang Wang didn't act arrogantly, getting up to greet them.

Qiao Hongyi looked to be in his early thirties. At this age, he was already a prodigy, with an undeniable air of arrogance between his brows. But towards Jiang Wang, he was still very polite: "I apologize for the intrusion, Lord Hou, please don't mind."

"Look at you," Jiang Cuilin chided, playfully hitting his arm. "Lord Wu'an is such a distinguished person, why would he care about these trivial courtesies Just waive them all!"

They were a very affectionate couple. They held hands the whole way here and only let go when they entered the restaurant. Even after letting go, their gazes remained locked on each other like glue.

"Jiang Girl is right, we shouldn't be bound by those rules when we are out and about." Jiang Wang smiled softly. He wasn't a person who liked to waste time, so he got straight to the point: "The two of you came to see me specially, what can I do for you"

Qiao Hongyi bowed slightly: "I presume Lord Hou has received the report from my subordinates. My junior sister and I are here on a mission entrusted by the Taixu Scroll."

Jiang Wang frowned slightly, but said nothing.

Qiao Hongyi smiled and asked, "I wonder if the Marquis knows about the Tai Xu Scroll, or the Tai Xu Illusionary Realm"

"Tell me more about it." Jiang Wang patiently waited.

Joe Hung-yi’s voice was booming, filled with immense pride as he stated: “The Tai Xu Huan Jing is the greatest creation of civilization in history. It is a miracle born from the confluence of human civilization! It demonstrates that the light of humanity is unstoppable and carries the important mission of illuminating the glory of the human race.”

Please note that the "" characters in your input are actually HTML tags, not punctuation. I've preserved them as they are.

And the Taixu Scroll is a very important part of the Taixu Illusionary Realm. It can mobilize the power of millions of us, working together to evolve this world to a more perfect state.

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

I can even say responsibly that the Taixu Scroll exists for the purpose of constructing the Taixu Illusionary Realm. Our execution of the Taixu Scroll's mission is, in essence, the construction of the future of humanity!

This passionate and proud tone, it sounds so familiar.

"That sounds good," Jiang Wang nodded thoughtfully. "So I still don't know, what are you looking for me for..."

Joe Hong-yi smiled and said, "I am the emissary of Taixu, and also the master of Changzishan in Fudi Sixty-One."

Jiang Wang stood in awe: "So"

"Speaking of which, my Haoran Academy contributed a lot to the establishment of the Taixu Scroll. I myself have always had a sense of responsibility since childhood, wanting to push forward the progress of humankind…" Qiao Hongyi seemed eager to chat, but halfway through, she turned her head to Jiang Cuilin: "Baby, why do you keep kicking me"

Jiang Wang was startled by the sound of "baby" and gasped... This feeling of being overly sweet was quite novel.

Jiang Cuilin blushed and said, "Master Jiang is a busy man, so please don't waste his time. Get straight to the point!"

"Joe Hongyi expressed confusion: "We were having a good chat, and no one said I was wasting their time. Baby, don't always overthink things, it's exhausting."

"That...," Jiang Wang said, pressing her hand to her chest, "I'm feeling a bit unwell."

"My lord, where are you feeling unwell" Qiao Hongyi expressed his concern warmly: "I'm quite good at medicine!"

He rubbed his shoulder against Jiang Cuilin again: "Baby, tell him, isn't it"

Jiang Cuilin, a little embarrassed, covered her face and said "Yes".

"My medical skills are decent, my body is fine, just need to rest... " Jiang Wangwan didn't expect this guy to talk so much nonsense, and to be so roundabout and mushy. He quickly said, "Brother Qiao, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Well, let me cut to the chase. The thing is..." Joe Hongyi had a way of rambling, which made his otherwise handsome face look strained: "You know I'm from Zheng, back then, in Mangcang Mountain... I met... we had... well, that's how it started. I took this mission to come to the Mist Realm and capture sea beasts."

>

Jiang Wang swore he wouldn't sit down and chat with this person a second time. Catching a sea beast you could talk about your adventure from when you were ten years old. Why don't you start with the founding emperor of Zheng Guo!

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

"Catching sea beasts shouldn't be a problem for Brother Qiao," Jiang Wang said. "How many do you need"

"We need 30,000!" Qiao Hongyi said excitedly. "Of course, I'm not the only one doing this task, but I want to make the biggest contribution!"

Coastal islands have always had a history of capturing and domesticating marine beasts for their own use. Jiang Wang knew this well. He had once killed an out-of-control sea beast from the Furious Whale Gang to save some fishermen, and they had come after him.

At that time, the Sea Lord's true form had just evolved to the soul level, causing all the sea beasts under his command in the nearby islands to lose control.

Chen Zhi tao also researched a new method of restriction for the Sea Beast's Soul, and shared it freely with all seafarers. This act earned him immense prestige.

It's normal for the Tai Xu scroll to have tasks about capturing sea beasts, but wouldn't 30,000 be a bit too many at once

Jiang Wang couldn't help but ask: "What use is capturing so many sea beasts for the construction of the Illusory Realm of Tai Xu"

Qiao Hongyi looked around mysteriously, then saw Fang Yuyou who was behind them, armed in armor and silent as he ascended the stairs.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "This is something I'll only tell you—"

Jiang Wang interrupted him: "If it's something that is inconvenient to say, then don't say it. Don't make yourself uncomfortable."

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

"Convenient, convenient." Qiao Hongyi hurried to say, "You can tell Duke Wu'an!" Jiang looked at him quietly, motioning for him to continue.

Joe Hung-yi said, "The Tai Xu scroll had a mission to create an island before, mobilizing many resources to build a new island near the sea, named 'Feizhou.' 'Fei,' refers to mayflies, tiny creatures of heaven and earth with a short lifespan. Naming it so, implies that even with a fleeting life, we can create great possibilities, reminding us...."

Jiang Cuilin, noticing Jiang Wang's impatience, quickly interjected: "To put it simply, Xu Ze Ming built a massive heavenly and earthly grinding disc on Feizhou Island. It requires a large number of sea beasts to be filled in, to analyze the foundation of the Sea Clan and reversely crack the True Form of the Sea Master!"

Jiang Wang was startled. He wasn't surprised that this had something to do with Xu Ze Ming, but he was surprised by Xu Ze Ming's audacity.

It takes more than just Xu Ze Ming to accomplish such a feat. Who else is on Tai Xu Pai's side How many people support him The elders, the sect master, or even Xi Yu who leads the construction of the Tai Xu Illusionary Realm

Joe Hongyi added, "This Feizhou Island's nature is similar to your Jueming Island. In time, it will surely become a key fortified city on our human race's sea frontier!"

"Oh" Jiang Wang said, "I haven't heard of it before. I don't know where this Fuzhou Island is located, who the powerful figures are in charge, how many troops they have stationed there, and how many times they have led wars against the sea tribe."

"At present, Fuzhou Island is still mainly focused on studying marine creatures..." Qiao Hongyi said somewhat awkwardly, "It's located not far south of Xingzhu Island."

Speaking and speaking, he raised his head again: "But with the Tai Xu scroll, all powerful people in the world can use it!"

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

Jiang Wang wouldn't overthink it, but as the Marquis of Daqi, he couldn't help but wonder—if all the powerful figures in the world could be used, would the Six Great Hegemon States agree

This is none of his concern, so he only said: "So you found me, you want to..."

"The Marquis is obviously a straightforward person, Hong Lang, you don't need to beat around the bush." Jiang Cuilin smiled sweetly: "It's like this, Marquis. We heard that you just cleared out the Dingmao domain and began building a human camp... so we came to ask you for some prisoners!"

>

After revealing their true form as sea lords, merfolk can also be enslaved as sea beasts, which is not uncommon in coastal island groups.

Jiang Wang wasn't surprised at all. He just said, "How many do you need"

He would casually accept a couple of captured sea creatures as gifts. It was just a small matter to him, and he wouldn't hesitate to personally cover any losses in spoils that his soldiers might experience due to the captives being sent away.

"I told you so! Being human, who wouldn't be clear about the righteousness of our race" Jiang Cuilin laughed with a radiant expression and looked earnestly at Jiang Wang: "We'll take as many as we need."

"Well, it's not impossible to talk about!"

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

Jiang Wang was just about to name a price.

Over there, Qiao Hongyi added very naturally: "Also, you guys have already finished the war, haven't you The army is idle anyway. Why not send a unit over to me and help me promote human progress! These sea beasts in this wild area are really hard to catch, I need some people to help me intercept them..."

Jiang Wang fell silent.

These two guys are just here to mooch off of us! They don't want to put in any effort.

What he wanted wasn't just a meal or two, it was the entire month's food supply for the household, and he also wanted to take all the pots, pans, and dishes.

"Does the Lord Marquis have any scruples" Qiao Hong inspected his words and demeanor, speaking with great enthusiasm: "We are all for the righteousness of the human race, without any selfish intentions!"

"But this marquis is a man of private interests, after all." Jiang Wang sighed: "This marquis's expedition to the Demon Realm brought three thousand soldiers, and Yuan Shi grain and fodder are consumed constantly. Fame and fortune are desired by everyone. Besides, this human camp, once taken, would be the merit of tens of thousands of soldiers. Could this marquis just take it for himself and discard it lightly"

He thought he was close to making it explicit.

But Qiao Hongyi seemed to not understand at all: "A group of worldly folk that even the Tiandi Men can't move, at most they can go and die. What credit could they possibly have! Aren't they all relying on Lord Hou You are a figure from Yun Dian Peak, why bother with those commoners' thoughts"

Jiang Cuilin beside him said coquettishly, "You are the Marquis of Qi State and the commander-in-chief of the three armies... Isn't this just a matter of your word"

"My Lord!" Qiao Hongyi exclaimed, "You are the Heavenly Pride of the Human Race, the foremost hero of the Yellow River! The righteousness of our race is at stake, and we would gladly sacrifice our lives. How can you shirk your responsibility!"

Jiang Wang placed the teacup on the table and watched him quietly. Watching his excited emotions just fade away so coldly. "Did you hear the wind chime outside" Jiang Wang asked.

The wind blew by.

Ring-a-ling-ring! Ring-a-ling-ring!

Joe Hung-yi and Jiang Cui-lin nodded unconsciously.

Here is the translation:

“This one is called a Soul Summoning Bell,” Jiang Wang said. “There’s one on every floating island in the Netherworld. We all know death means death, that everything fades away after you die. But these warriors who fight to the death here, they want to be closer to home even when they disappear into thin air. This useless bell is just a way to comfort them.”

Every single person who fights here carries the burden of what you call the human cause. No one has given more, endured less than you. You're not a three-year-old child anymore, you have no right to demand anything from anyone, do you understand

He didn't make any harsh movements or expressions, just lowered his voice slightly. Qiao Hongyi and Jiang Cuilin immediately felt tremendous pressure!

Killing fish in the broad expanse of water, breaking the dragon tortoise at Huang Zhong. These all happened just recently!

"Excuse me." Qiao Hongyi spoke with difficulty, pulling Jiang Cuilin's hand and trying to leave.

Jiang Wang slowly said, "The fact that you came to ask my opinion instead of directly taking my captive and leaving shows that you can still reason. I'll give you one last piece of advice. Will you listen"

Qiao Hongyi nodded blankly.

Jiang Wangdao: "Speak less, do more. Ask for less, give more."

Perhaps Qiao Hongyi was resigned, perhaps he disagreed, but all he could do was nod. At this moment, a hurried voice came from outside the building — "Urgent military order!"

The belated departure plan made Jiang Wang laugh and cry.

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

But he quickly realized that this was not the result of him winking at Fang Yuyou.

One step onto the windowsill and looked out: "Where are you going"

The flag officer flew through the air, shouting: "Urgent order from General Qi! Order Marquis Wu'an's troops to immediately set out for the Saha Dragon Realm!"
