Chapter 2372: Real Person's Coronation

That year, by the bank of Feng Qi River, I saw a sword soar into the blue heavens, and from that moment, I saw a child of the extraordinary world.

That year, outside Still True Temple, gasping for breath, wounded and bleeding profusely, I felt out an Opening Meridian Pill, and from that moment, I, as a young man, walked toward the extraordinary path.

Now, I have reached the unprecedented ultimate realm of Cave True. Since the creation of heaven and earth, I am the strongest Cave True cultivator.

But this point is known only to himself.

Only those who have truly seen his sword can understand.

The people of the world cannot know without seeing; the powerful of the world cannot recognize without seeing.

Only by fighting across the world, as Towards Feng Qi did that year, becoming unbeatable, fighting until all the true persons of the world were convinced, could this "name" be truly established.

Name is momentum; name is power.

One must withstand the gaze of all people, and also withstand the scrutiny of all people, from being obscure and unknown to being known throughout the world, from the valley to the absolute peak. This is the process of a venerable true person's coronation.

A true person's coronation means a True Monarch!

Of course, not all true persons are like this. Only the strongest among the world's Cave True cultivators is qualified to walk such a road—the road of being unbeatable in the world.

This is a grand ascension ceremony, stepping by step to the top of the extraordinary path under the gaze of all under heaven.

Just like the Great Shepherd Emperor's coronation of the God Crown Great Priest, establishing monarch decrees and divine commands, thereby establishing the supreme dignity of grassland kingship.

Towards Feng Qi, having just finished touring the war-torn world, carried this great momentum and challenged Jiang Mengxiong, who stood at the absolute peak, with the world-defying posture of a Cave True unbeatable.

He swore to rely on his own power to revive a destroyed era and rekindle the glory of flying swords spanning the world.

Ultimately, he failed.

But his legend endures forever.

Today, Jiang Wang wants to claim this "Cave True unbeatable" title. He no longer needs to travel through various domains like Towards Feng Qi did that year. His name is known throughout the world!

Lu Shuanghe, whose killing power is first, and four venerable martial dao grandmasters, only half a step away from the absolute peak, have already proven his unquestionable strength.

And now, looking across the world, within the Five Directions Domains, at the True Person realm, only two unquestionable firsts are still worth his action.

The first in the North Domain, Huang Fu.

The first in the Central Domain, Lou Yue.

The remaining South Domain, West Domain, East Domain, as well as the Netherworld, Yu Abyss, Heavenly Prison, and various heavens and ten thousand realms, all lack a Cave True existence that suppresses everything and convinces all strong ones.

For Jiang Wang today, there is no true person in this world who possesses a challenging nature. Fighting any true person lacks meaning.

Only these two strong individuals, who have defeated countless strong enemies and claimed the title of first in a certain domain for many years, can "confirm his name".

Just like the last bead on a crown.

Adding color to it, announcing to all worlds.

Huang Fu's North Domain first was achieved by defeating Zhongshan Yanwen, who established the true person's eight thousand li Border Wasteland Stele, and Huyan Jingxuan, the first in true person physique.

Lou Yue's Central Domain first has overthrown countless challenges over the years, standing firm in Central State without falling.

They themselves are already honored names.

After Tian Anping's fight with Lou Yue outside Tianya Terrace, his power was finally recognized by the world, and the Great Marsh Tian Clan's momentum immediately soared!

Why Jiang Wang chose Lou Yue instead of Huang Fu is naturally still because of Li Longchuan.

This is why he was silent in front of the Son of Heaven and why he is now heading west.

He knows that probably everything is unrelated to Lou Yue.

But just as Chong Xuan Sheng said, if your qi isn't smooth, vent it!

Who can you not beat?

He wrote a letter to all his relatives and friends, of course, still reporting good news and not worries, always saying how carefree, how powerful, how imposing he is, not mentioning a word about hardship, danger, or sadness. Li Longchuan's matter is handled, the Heaven Way state is resolved, and Derive Dao is close at hand. Jiang Wang is carefree and fortunate.

Whether Qing Yu is safe, whether An An is happy, whether Guang Shu is happy, whether Jing Li is free...

May everyone be well!

Out of Linzi, he headed west, walking in the air.

Suddenly, a dazzling light point lit up in the high sky, shining fiercely in front. A shocking sharpness! It split light and chopped origins, as if it pierced through the sky dome and existed alone.

Jiang Wang leisurely lifted a finger, pointed it in front of him, and then pressed down on this light point—

A handleless flying sword rotated madly at his fingertip.

The sword qi and strong wind stirred up by this instantly formed a huge tornado across the sky.

Jiang Wang's finger pressed forward again, and the sword suddenly stopped. The sword qi storm also dissipated.

At this moment, the vast cloud sea parted, and within the flowing waves, a man with cloth shoes, cloth clothes, and dead fish eyes walked out.

At first glance, he was a bearded, sloppy middle-aged man, but upon closer inspection, his face actually had some youthfulness.

His sword's name is "Dragon Light Shoot Fight," and the person's name is also "Towards Front."

"How is this sword of mine?" Towards Front lifted his hand and beckoned. The incomparably sharp Dragon Light Shoot Fight flew back in reverse, transforming into a one-inch-long small sword, piercing and flying around his five fingers, like a dragon roaming the five-finger peak.

Jiang Wang brushed off his sleeves: "Whether you are the world's first Divine Arrival, I don't know, but in terms of the severity of killing power among Divine Arrivals, there should be no one like you."

Towards Front used that pair of lifeless eyes to glance at Jiang Wang's finger and curled his lip: "Didn't even scratch the skin."

Jiang Wang laughed: "You want to scratch my skin? Do you think you are Lou Yue?"

Towards Front's eyes brightened for an instant, but quickly restrained again.

For that one instant, he truly felt himself back to that year, in that still so immature time, lifting his eyes to see the sword peak that supported the sky, and from that moment, he respected it like a god. Until the myth shattered, the sword peak collapsed. That moment of collapse pierced through the rest of his life.

"You already have the momentum of being unbeatable," Towards Front said with complex emotions.

Even close friends like Towards Front do not know Jiang Wang's current true power. This is precisely the meaning of a coronation in Central State.

Jiang Wang said: "You are wrong. I have the power to be unbeatable. Now I am just overlooking the hills from a high peak, casually counting the undulations. The strongest one has already been defeated by me, so now everyone looks mediocre."

Towards Front was talking about confidence and momentum. Jiang Wang was talking about viewpoint and reality.

But the sound of reality is even more arrogant than the most arrogant cognition.

Towards Front lifted his eyelids: "Don't tell me, the strongest one you defeated is yourself from the previous moment."

The battle between the "true self" and the "heavenly being" that occurred within the heart prison was witnessed by no one except Jiang Wang himself.

People at most know that he has struggled free from the deep sea of the Heaven Way, but no one knows that he actually trapped the heavenly being and locked it up, fighting it in a cage, and ultimately winning—moreover, not to mention the step of turning the infinite into the finite, how much effort Jiang Wang paid to do it. Even turning the infinite into the finite, the heavenly being state is usually a person's strongest state. How could the self possibly win it alone?

This is a path that breaks cognition and transcends imagination. It has never appeared before, and it will be very difficult to replicate afterwards.

Jiang Wang said: "I know this sounds not too easy to accept, but this is precisely the fact."

Towards Front looked at Jiang Wang seriously for a moment, determined that Jiang Wang was not joking, and thus also gradually became serious.

He put away Dragon Light Shoot Fight, forming sword fingers with both hands, crossing them in front of his body, performing a proper ancient sword dao rite towards Jiang Wang, and said in a deep voice: "True Person Jiang, I heard the news today and rushed here, wishing to follow you. I want to witness the alternation of two generations of Cave True unbeatables."

At this moment, he appeared very formal and solemn.

He represents the lost era of flying swords, and he represents the only I sword dao that claimed the absolute peak.

Initially, Towards Feng Qi sword-tested the world, fighting across all Cave True realm strong ones. He, as the only true transmission of this only I sword dao, was then the world's only witness to the entire process.

This formality and solemnity of his are for the title of "Cave True unbeatable" and also for his deceased master, that sword dao legend.

He personally saw the casting of glory, personally saw the fall of glory, and now wants to personally see the alternation of the "Cave True unbeatable" title.

Perhaps today is the final farewell.

Jiang Wang also became solemn. At this moment, he did not treat Towards Front as his closest friend, but respected him as the successor of flying sword technique and a witness to Towards Feng Qi's era.

He returned the courtesy and said: "If you say it is a witness in this manner, indeed no one under heaven is more suitable than you. Brother Towards, then follow me and please witness this edge."

The two people then walked together.

This time, there was again a comet tail, a line stretching across the sky.

"Moreover, stay! Wait a minute!"

The flowing light of the comet tail retracted, and Bai Yuxia leaped out. He was wearing exquisite embroidered brocade clothes, a jade belt around his waist, and his skin was as white as frost and snow. What a handsome man!

As soon as he came, he said: "Good for you, Towards Front. I guessed you were here. You didn't even say a word when you went out!"

Towards Front just flipped his eyelids, too lazy to say that he was too lazy to say a word.

Bai Yuxia then looked at Jiang Wang: "East Master, is this to sword-chop Lou Yue, prove your name as Cave True unbeatable, and then prove dao as True Monarch?"

Jiang Wang shook his head: "Only part of that is right. I am seeking Lou Yue only to spar, to determine a winner and loser, not to kill him."

Shopkeeper Bai knew about Li Longchuan's misfortune, but only knew the news vaguely, not specifically. He was afraid the East Master was not calm, so he rushed over in a hurry. Hearing this, he felt somewhat relieved. He looked at Towards Front again: "Then what is he doing here?"

Jiang Wang knew Towards Front was too lazy to say more, so he helped explain: "He came to be a witness, to witness me proving my name as Cave True unbeatable."

Bai Yuxia thought for a moment: "There is one sentence I don't know if I should say or not."

Jiang Wang glanced at him: "If you don't know, then don't speak."

But Bai Yuxia still stubbornly transmitted his voice: "Although Towards Front is my friend, as a shopkeeper, I have to plan for the East Master. East Master, bringing him along for such an important fight is not too auspicious. After all, Towards Feng Qi... Sometimes, we can still appropriately believe in fortune a little."

Jiang Wang didn't want to waste words: "Do you want to come together? If not, just go back and look after the shop."

"Lian Yuchan is in the shop!" Bai Yuxia was obviously moved, but then hesitated: "I'm afraid I'll hinder you..."

Jiang Wang laughed: "Fighting Lou Yue, how can you hinder me? Today I won't even let you walk; I'll just let you see what absolute strength is!"

After saying that, he bounced up a wisp of sword light, tying up Bai Yuxia: "Brother Towards, trouble you to drag him along!"

"Ai, ai, ai!" Bai Yuxia said repeatedly: "How is this good!"

Jiang Wang had already walked.

Towards Front was too lazy to drag him.

Bai Yuxia just followed behind himself.

The three people chatted and laughed, and very quickly flew out of the East Domain.

In the East Hua Pavilion, Jiang Wang actually saw a memorial. To be precise, it was two memorials, placed in one place.

Because it was a court discussion where specific decisions had already occurred and been implemented, it was not considered a secret, so it was just spread out there—in front of the stone screen in the East Hua Pavilion, there was a large table, surrounded by a circle of purple sandalwood wood boards as edges. The inner circle of the large table was slightly shrunk and carved with the ten thousand li mountains and rivers of Qi Country.

On the blank wood boards, many memorials, documents, and similar papers were piled horizontally and vertically. It could be seen that the Son of Heaven's study was not too tidy.

While waiting for the Son of Heaven, Jiang Wang glanced at them casually, and they were indeed good reading material.

These two memorials were respectively from Court Discussion Doctor Song Yao and Court Discussion Doctor Chen Fu.

Song Yao's memorial said that the heavenly phenomena were chaotic, the people were uneasy, and they feared the birth of demonic atmosphere, which would eat human fat. How to help the people? Thus, guard the Grand Temple to correct the heavenly times.

Chen Fu also submitted a memorial, saying that heaven and earth were declining, which was the mourning of transcendence. Heaven gives birth to its rites, and the so-called "correcting heavenly times" is, on the contrary, "disrupting the heavenly order," not following the constant of heaven, and fearing remaining calamity.

Each of the two people stated their reasons.

The two memorials were recorded together, and the Son of Heaven finally noted with a vermilion pen—

"People are heavy, rites are next to them, and the Heaven Way is next to them."

One hammer settles the sound.

Only then did Jiang Wang's journey proceed, day and night as usual, with wind and rain orderly.

But once outside Qi Country, the heavenly phenomena returned to chaos.

Inside and outside Qi Country were almost two worlds.

Jiang Wang again thought of the year he first came to Qi Country and saw the ordinary Qi Country common people actually having the activity of "suburb tour," which he found very inconceivable. How could ordinary people be so relaxed in the suburbs? If he had stayed in Zhuang Country his whole life, he probably would never know that there were places in this world where fierce beasts did not exist.

When he stands at the limit of the present world's high place, and looks at this world again, what will be different?

Will all past cognitions be overturned?

He is very much looking forward to that moment.

Once outside Star Moon Plain, he said to Zhao Zi, who intended to persuade him to join, that before he truly saw this world clearly, he did not want to rashly do anything. He said he did not want to use his stupidity to harm this world—because he had already paid many prices for his stupidity and ignorance!

Then, when he possesses the limit power of the present world, stands at the extraordinary absolute peak to overlook everything, and looks back at all the experiences on his journey, how will he view this world again?

In the sky ahead, there was snow in midsummer.

Jiang Wang stepped on the snow and passed over.

Towards Front and Bai Yuxia were on his left and right, following closely behind.

The two witnesses, the two who had struggled free from the heavenly being state, True Person Jiang Wang, left the East Sea, entered Qi from the west, and after sacrificing Li Longchuan, again headed west—wielding his sword towards Jing Country.

This news instantly spread across the world.

How similar today is to the old days.

It is very difficult not to make people think of the old matters of the Six True of Jing Tian.

It is also very difficult not to make the people of Jing Country nervous.

"What does he want to do?" In Heavenly Capital City, a hall meeting was held for Jiang Wang's trip.

There were not many people, mostly those who happened to meet and then discussed together.

In the seats were King Rui Ji Qingnv, King Lu Ji Bai Nian, Princess Chang Yang Ji Jianrong, as well as the newly sealed king, the first person in middle domain martial dao, Martial Dao True Monarch Ji Jinglu.

The host of the meeting, however, was the North Heavenly Master Wu Daoyou.

This one of the four great heavenly masters, the most senior one, with white hair and white beard, and an immortal demeanor, sat there, his expression displeased: "Does he truly think Heavenly Capital City is a place he can come to whenever he wants and cause trouble whenever he wants?"

Ji Qingnv adjusted the armrest: "Wang Kun is already dead, the East Sea matter is concluded. This king does not want to discuss right and wrong again. Wang Kun's family is the bottom line and cannot be touched even a little. I have already sent an order to the Cheng Tian Fu guards. If he dares to cause trouble, perhaps the only thing to do is kill this first heavenly pride to sacrifice to the execution knife of Great Jing."

This King Rui of Great Jing had a somewhat feminine appearance, born yin and soft, but he spoke with great momentum. Sitting there, he controlled the eight directions.

"King Rui is overthinking," Ji Jinglu shook his head: "Jiang Wang will not do this kind of thing."

The people of Jing Country had complex feelings towards Jiang Wang, but no matter how much they hated him, they had to admit—no matter how furious the situation, Jiang Wang would not kill Wang Kun's entire family.

"The little king believes your judgment, but believing is believing," Ji Qingnv said: "No matter what twists and turns there are, Wang Kun died in state affairs. I cannot help but overthink for the Wang Clan."

Wu Daoyou nodded: "This is proper reasoning."

King Lu Ji Bai Nian had an extremely handsome appearance, and his smile was particularly brilliant, making him extremely affable. He laughed and said: "Then, according to King Uncle's view, what is Jiang Wang's purpose for this trip?"

As the direct grandson of Jin King Ji Xuan Zhen, Ji Jinglu was of a very high generation in the Jing Country imperial family.

The imperial princes and princesses present who had hope of competing for the dragon were all his child and nephew generation.

But in front of people like Ji Bai Nian, he did not put on airs, saying very seriously: "Nothing more than following the previous example of Wuya Stone Wall, asking sword of Lou Yue. Even if he is venting some anger through his sword, he will not truly do anything to Lou Yue. Because of the matter of the Six Friends of Jing Tian, many people feel that he acts extremely and easily goes mad. But as I see it, he is actually always a measured person."

Princess Chang Yang Ji Jianrong pondered: "The frame has not yet started fighting, the sword has not yet been drawn, King Uncle is actually already certain that Lou Yue will lose to me?"

"I am not as good as Lou Yue in the Cave True level, nor as good as Jiang Wang. There is probably nothing good to say," Ji Jinglu said: "It is just my one reasonless feeling."

Wu Daoyou sat there quietly, leisurely saying: "King Dai Shan says Jiang Wang is measured, and does he feel reasonless about me too?"

The so-called "King Dai Shan" is precisely Ji Jinglu's title. Sealed at Dai Shan, hence its offering.

Because the Jin King is present, he was only sealed with a two-character king title, which counts as somewhat reducing his nobility.

Ji Jinglu raised his eyes, surveyed the people: "Rather than us speculating groundlessly here, why not ask him directly? The so-called opening the door to see the mountain, he is also a sincere gentleman!"

After saying that, he directly blasted out a fist.

This fist transformed into an emerald green dragon, complete with whiskers and tail, vivid. It instantly flew out of the mansion and roamed towards the high sky, directly asking the true person coming from afar—"Where does the gentleman come from today?"

Suddenly, a sword rainbow hung in the sun, and a clear voice roamed in the courtyard—

"The sage said, at twenty one is crowned, at thirty one stands firm, at forty one is not confused, at fifty one knows the will of heaven."

"Jiang Wang does not know the will of heaven, and is especially confused. Recently, I have traveled ten thousand li, with lifelong regrets. But the crown at twenty years old is one's own to wear, and at thirty, which is soon, it is also one's own coronation. If the gentleman has leisure, why not witness it together!"
