Chapter 159: Extinguishing the Lamp Stand Is the Moon
you met Wang Ao in the realm of illusion”The matter of the Otherworld has passed these few days, and I don't know where she got the news from."That is indeed the case." Jiang Wang said.Let me know if...When Jiang Anan turned eight, Jiang Wang missed her birthday because he was in cultivation.
On September 15th, when Fu Di challenged Si Ma Mei Shan to a duel, he still remembered this incident.
And then he immersed himself in the world of asceticism, and in a blink of an eye, time had passed.
He only realized on the day the Fukuchi Challenge began, October 15th, that it had been several days since Jiang An'an's birthday on October 12th...
He knew he would still miss it.
But he didn't know how many more milestones in Jiang An'an's growth he was going to miss.
No matter how difficult his circumstances, he would at least find a chance to see AnAn once a year. But the Lingxiao Secret Realm was not a pure land; if he was not strong enough, there was no safe place in the world.
As the winds of change swept across the land, he too briefly stood at the crest of the wave.
But he must recognize that, whether on the Tianya platform or at the confluence of the Yellow River, his glory is built upon an existing order, on the basis of fair competition among those in the same situation... He himself does not possess the strength to resist the collapse of order, nor does he have the qualifications to establish order.
So don't relax.
Not a moment.
Don't even breathe.
A volcano that erupted thousands of years ago, may have been dormant for a millennium.
Here's the translation, remembering that I only process the content within the > tags:
A silent grey reef, probably once heard of by someone.
Taoism, swordsmanship, divine powers.
The path one walks, the heart's desire.
>
In the trance-like depths of this cave, I have lost all sense of time. I truly don't know how many years have passed in the world.
Until a fat paper crane flew into the blessed land of the illusory realm of Tai Xu.
The letter had only two words---
"Be back soon."
The Wu-yan Mountains, a vast range of volcanoes, are desolate and lifeless, with no birds in sight and the sky an empty azure.

At some ordinary, dim moment.
Rumble...
Amidst the billowing black smoke, dark red magma gushed out, and a deafening roar seemed to shatter heaven and earth!
Flying, incandescent rocks, like streaks of light, sped across the canvas of smoke and ash, leaving trails of searing pain.
Volcanic eruption!
A piece of black-grey, distinctive reef rock, also surged and leaped in this violent eruption.
Even in the furious lava flow, it was merely a powerless parabola.
But after it flew high, it did not fall like other stones, instead, as if it had grown invisible wings, it continued to ascend, climbing higher and higher.
It shot up into the sky.
Its grayish-black gradually peeled away, revealing a sky blue that seemed to shimmer with an aura.
The outline of "it" gradually became clear, its limbs slowly stretching out.
This is a person.
The shape, the features... of a person... gradually recovering. A human presence.
In the midst of smoke and flame, his crimson eyes still flickered.
In the world of smoke and ash and fire, he brought a spark of clear brilliance.
Heaven and Earth are penetrated!
For a moment, all light and sound vanished. A man in blue robes stood alone, surrounded by a sea of red flames.
He said nothing, but the sword in its scabbard let out a cry that echoed for miles, as if cleaving through the roar of a volcano!
>
He flew over.
Like a mythical bluebird delivering a message, it flew across the human world.
He flew over every volcano, and each one began to erupt.
In the desolate and uninhabited Weiyann mountain range, volcanoes erupted one after another, as if demonstrating their might.
As Jiang Wang flew over a certain volcano, his gaze swept across it. He saw on the barren peak of the volcano, stood a solitary old tree.
He remembered that when Zhao Xuanyang had brought him here at first, there wasn't this tree.
Horizontal branches are wrinkled, and old roots twist together.
This old tree grew strangely and sadly.
Jiang Wang turned his hand and pressed it back —
Boom boom boom boom boom boom.
Volcanoes, once erupting violently, are now extinguished one after another.
Like spirits standing as lanterns on the earth, being extinguished one by one.
At that time, heaven and earth were silent. Only a fleeting shadow of clothing could be seen, which disappeared quickly.
There is a city named Líyuan in the world, which refuses to let horses' hooves advance northwards.
>
Of course, that's water under the bridge.
This is the present moment.
With his head full of braids, Yu Wen Duo stood on the city wall, looking out into the distance. The sky hung low, with dark clouds gathering and spreading. Shadows intertwined with sharp lights, surging like a tide, representing the Jingguo’s Qiankun Yulong flag fluttering high in the sky, bringing an oppressive feeling.
That ancient, mysterious, and mighty nation that stood in the heartland and ushered in an era of national prosperity is finally here!
Drawing his sword, he asked the Northern Shepherd.
Yuwen Tuo felt his blood boiling.
He felt it was scorching hot.
Now, if you were to cut him with a knife, he believes his blood could burn through stone!
“The time has come for us prairie children to prove ourselves!” he declared with passion.
The celestial banner of the azure god, fluttering high above him, bestowed upon him boundless power.
The divine High Priest, who presides over the city, has faith as steadfast as a rock.
Beside him stood Yegain, and the brothers-in-arms who lined this city of war. He felt no fear, his heart filled with courage!

Standing beside him, gazing out at the distance with him, was a man wearing a bronze oni mask.
If Zhao Ru's name were to be mentioned, it would be on the banks of the Yellow River that he first came into prominence. This would reveal to the world that there was still an heir of the former Qin emperor in existence.
>
Over more than a year of holding onto the city of Liyuan, all the soldiers of the Mu Kingdom stationed there remembered this general with the bronze mask.
In every battle, he was victorious. Facing any enemy, he would surely triumph. His drawing of the Imperial Sword amidst blood and fire seemed almost a portent of victory.
He declined the appointment of Princess Helan Yunyun from the Mukuo Kingdom and the promotion from the True Blood family, Uwen.
Went into the army alone.
>
participated in the battle of attacking Liyuan City.
Participated in the subsequent year-long defense of the city of Liyuan.
From a squad leader to now leading an army, it's all achieved through battle achievements!
Broke through enemy lines seventeen times, intercepted relief forces three times, beheaded nine enemy generals, and personally cut down countless enemy heads.
Known as the Green Ghost!
On the battlefield, hearing this name instilled fear in all.
Unlike the hot-blooded Yuwen Tuo, and unlike many soldiers of the Mengguo who imagined him to be a bloodthirsty maniac eager for battle, Zhao Rucheng at this time had his hand resting on the city brick, his eyes as cold and calm as the brick itself.
>
He silently observed the surging army of Jingguo, without any other emotions in his heart.
For him, participating in the war to shepherd the country was just a means to an end: gaining power.
This is a placeholder for a paragraph.
Gain greater strength...gain the power to no longer regret.
It's no different from when we were fighting in the wasteland before.
He had a certain degree of identification with the Shepherd Country, but it was very limited, at most based on his closeness to Yuwen Tuo and Helan Yunyun.
He also felt very indifferent towards the State of Jing.
For him, the outcome of this war was not the most important thing.
Most importantly, he needed to gain enough accomplishments that were unquestionable, allowing him to quickly rise to a high position in the kingdom.
>
He no longer wanted to passively endure the bad news!

The Jing Guo army before us is a formidable force, second to none compared to the might of the Qin Empire.
It is undoubtedly the dominant force.
If one can thwart it, one can also thwart Qin.

At last, Zhao Ruocheng said, “Jing Guo stands firm when still, but moves like thunder. Its military might is unmatched in the world.”
For more than a year, the main force stationed in Liyuan City was Utulu. This cavalry unit, whose name implied bravery and fearlessness, was considered the elite of the Mu country's army. However, it was not a powerful force that dominated the world, far inferior to the Tie Futuo.
The main force of Sheng Guo Fang was composed of several elite divisions of Sheng Guo, as well as some Dao-affiliated national army units brought in by Xi Tian Shi Yu Xi.
The intensity and severity of the war are certainly not low, but they are also limited to a certain degree.
Zhao Rucheng and Yuwen Tuo could excel in this environment, achieving many military successes.
But in the coming wars, will it be possible
Now, the attitude of Shengguo no longer matters.
Or, since the Mu Guo army broke through the Liyuan City and the Western Celestial Master's remnants moved to Shengdu personally after the fall of the city, everything was no longer under the control of Sheng Guo. The so-called first vassal state, in essence, could not escape the word "vassal."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Of course, Sheng Guo has made efforts over this year.
As the enemy, Zhao Rucheng, who was always fighting at the front lines, could clearly feel the struggle of the Shangguo upper echelons in the deaths of each soldier.
But no matter how they struggled, they couldn't achieve what they failed to obtain on the battlefield through diplomacy.
Even the struggles of the great nation, are they not something that has been happening for more than just a year Long before that, in times far more ancient, there were so many talented people within the great nation. Young prodigies like Sheng Xuehuai and powerful True Monarchs from noble lineages like Li Yuanshe… Has anything changed to this day
Zhao Rucheng understood very well.
From beginning to end, this game has always been under the control of both Jingmu and the opposing side. It has never strayed from the will of the Jingmu high command. Jingmu's confrontation with Sheng Guo resulted in bloodshed, right up to today, when the real war finally broke out!
This is perhaps the largest and most intense war in a century!
This war may very well change the global landscape, while Yuwen Tuo is still immersed in the local advantages he has firmly grasped over the past year of governing the country.
There are many people like Yuwen Tuo...
Jing Guo used Sheng Guo as a whetstone, aiming to blunt Mu Guo's edge or possibly even give Sheng Guo a warning. Mu Guo, however, in this year-plus of war, has awakened the bloodlust of the prairie people and solidified their confidence against Jing. They have even taken advantage of Sheng Guo's sharp blade like a Daoist steel sword to hone their own.
The highest level of both sides' intentions, Zhao Rucheng cannot access.
But from his own feelings, the soldiers of Mu Guo were in an unprecedentedly high morale. Some even shouted slogans like "Horses trample Tianjing City" - of course, it can be said that their military spirit is usable.
But if one blindly confident, headlong into this sea of corpses and blood, who can guarantee that they will be the one standing on the bones of ten thousand soldiers
In such a large-scale war, let alone Uwen Duo, how could Zhao Ruocheng not be like a speck of dust
>
“Jing Guo is certainly strong, otherwise how could a prosperous country stop my brilliance for a thousand years” Yuwen Duo grinned. “But it will pass. They are too old, they should be over.”
Zhao Rucheng's heart moved.
Yuwendu was not entirely a blindly confident reckless man; there was clearly some reliance in his words.
The Uwen clan is a top-tier true blood family in Mukuo. As a true blood descendant, Uwen Duo indeed has the possibility of knowing some secrets, but he cannot speak them publicly. This level of hinting is already the limit.
So what did Muiguo rely on to almost recklessly follow Jingguo's lead this time, determined to re-establish the boundary between the northern and central regions

“No matter how this war turns out,” Zhao Ruocheng said slowly, “I only hope that we can still drink together after the war.”
Having said that, he turned and walked down the city wall.
Zhao Ruocheng, who had always been cold and distant to others, said such words...
Yuwen Du stood on the city wall, only patting his chest.
The sound of gunfire was deafening.
There are two sacred places for medical practice in the world: Dongwanggu and Renxintang.
Wanggu, a master of both medicine and poison, was renowned throughout the East Domain. He had numerous affiliated sects, such as the Qingmu Immortal Sect, and secretly supported nations like Shen Guo, enabling them to remain independent in the face of Qi's power. His influence was vast indeed.
The Renxin Pavilion is located in Beiyuan, with branches throughout the land. Its mission is to save lives and heal the wounded. It rarely gets involved in disputes and enjoys a reputation for being highly respected.
On this day, outside the Renxin Guan sect's residence, a mysterious figure in a straw hat and raincoat arrived.
A hand cradles a cup amidst the twilight clouds, within it lies a five-colored fish possessing an extremely potent and rare poison. This has drawn in many medical practitioners to observe.
The saying goes that medicine and poison are inseparable. Although the Renxin Hall is not as focused on both medicine and poison as the Dongwang Valley, they do not underestimate the study of poison.
Many people bought the five-colored fish on the spot.
Medical practice is lucrative, and doctors at Renxin Hall are even more so.
These disciples were all very well-off.
"This is the way: Just name your price, how many Spirit Stones are you willing to sell for!"
"That way, 'Ten thousand stone can be used to settle the account!'"
Someone at the scene took out a healing elixir: "If you add two more spirit stones, along with this fish tank and fish, I'll sell you this bottle of my life-saving 'one lifeline' powder!"
With his face hidden under a straw hat, Jiang Wang focused intently on the third person who spoke, silently reminding himself to remember this person's appearance and stay far away from him in the future.
>
"How about it" This seemingly honest fellow, upon seeing Jiang Wang's gaze, instantly broke into a wide smile. "This secret recipe of mine, I rarely give to anyone. You're lucky today!"
"Hehehe." Jiang Wang's gaze swept over him, looking around before saying, "I wonder where Doctor Yi Tang is I came here specifically for him."
The crowd gasped in astonishment.
In Renxin Guan, this physician's attainment is already the highest a doctor among mortals can reach.

Above that would be Dr. Zongge!
Here's the translation:

Dr. Yi Tang, known as "Little Holy Hand," undoubtedly held a prominent position among his disciples.
At that moment, someone asked, "Who are you Is it true that even Master Yi Tang can be seen just by saying so"
"I am nobody," Jiang Wang said, "I've simply long admired Dr. Yi Tang. Upon receiving this five-colored fish that is fatal upon a kiss, I wanted to find an opportunity to give it to him."
That honest-looking fellow said, "This is easy! Just leave it to me, I'll get it delivered for you."
As he spoke, he reached out his hand.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Jiang Wang took a step back, gracefully making way, and smiled faintly. "I won't hand over the Five-Colored Fish without seeing you in person... You wouldn't dare rob me, would you"
The Renxin Pavilion, while renowned throughout the land for its grandeur and reputation, inevitably has a few scoundrels among its ranks. However, openly snatching someone's belongings right before the sect's headquarters... that's something no one would dare do.
As soon as Jiang Wang spoke, the people surrounding him even retreated a few steps, fearing they would be misunderstood.
"You rascal, who are you trying to squeeze with your words" the man on the other side, desperate for a chance to sell his elixir, said angrily. "Get out of here and stop annoying people!"
At this time, a gentle voice sounded: "Hao Zhen, don't be rude."
The crowd suddenly got excited.
Only Jiang Wang was speechless.
This guy, his name is Haozhen He must be kidding!arp person!Zhang Xun treated Lian Heng like nothing, so he just had to make Lian Heng feel his presence.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!...completely left no room for...
