Chapter 66: The Imperial Chef

stand why he suddenly said that.“In business, you encounter all sorts of people. Not everyone is trustworthy, and contracts can't regulate everything. I've seen a lot of bad debts and come to accept t...The world seemed to have been dark for a long time, or perhaps the world has always been dark.

Light is the presumptuous guest.

Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment before gradually remembering what had happened.

Has their soul essence already... been stripped away

...or is it waiting to be chopped off

He opened his eyes, and light shone into the dark world.

Glug glug, glug glug.

Yet another chance was dashed.

It brings people back to their senses.

It was then that Jiang Wang realized he was soaking in a boiling lava lake, and his injuries had mostly healed.

The longing still clutched tightly in her hand.

My right hand feels a bit stiff because I've been holding it in the same position for too long.

However, the Ruyi Immortal Garment still retained its damage from the previous battle.

The Five Bureaus's Hearth Fire, naturally emanating radiance, completely insulated against the harm of magma.

It turns out I wasn't killed after all...

I just felt a slight wave of relief in my mind.

Jiang Wang's body instinctively tensed, and he leaped to his feet.

>

Then he saw the enormous lava lake outside——

Volcanic pools, each a vibrant crimson, dot the mountainous landscape.

...a horde of monstrous creatures, scattered throughout the lava pool and its edges, lying or crouching everywhere…

Black Mountain, Red Pool, a bunch of dogs... uh, a bunch of beasts that look just like dogs.

At first glance, it's hard not to remind Jiang Wang of the charcoal hot pot in Fenglin City run by Du Dewang.

In the past, they, as brothers, would gather around a fire, clinking wine cups and competing for the tastiest morsels of meat. What joy it was!

The only difference was the cold look in those "dogs'" eyes, which made Jiang Wang quickly realize that in this situation, who was actually the ingredient.

So he shamefacedly flew down, walking humbly on the lava, daring not to "show off" again.

This is the lair of calamity.

Until this moment, Jiang Wang's heart was still dazed.

I don't understand why I was picked up and brought back home, and even arranged to live by a lava lake on the hillside. Compared to those ordinary disasters, this place is pretty impressive.

He looked warily ahead, and the presence that stirred his primal instincts slowly descended from the mountaintop.

It was a three-pronged scourge, its steps measured and even graceful.

Though Mingming looks like a dog, he walks slowly like a cat.

But in his cold eyes, there was the majesty of a king.

This is a test.

It landed gracefully, finally stopping at the edge of this crimson lava lake, facing Jiang Wang.

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

This is a cunning and ruthless powerful person.

Jiang Wang repeatedly reminded himself in his heart.

You mustn't treat something as stupid just because it looks like a dog.

At this moment, the identity of being a prisoner at one's feet has undeniably proven its strength.

>

Although he wasn't sure why his injuries had fully recovered, and couldn't understand how this Demonic King beast had spared his life. But given the Demonic King beast's insidious cunning, there must be some important reason behind it.

In other words, to the Wuhou Dou Beast, itself has value.

The battle is over, there's no need to fight again.

The outcome of his battle with the Calamity King Beast was not a matter of winning or losing a few moves. It was a result of overwhelming power.

Even if you try again and again, the outcome cannot be changed.

Moreover, we have now moved onto their territory.

This is a test.

Heaven, earth, and people, nothing is lacking.

Ginger retracted his sword and, having quickly recognized reality, felt a sense of relaxation.

He spread his hands wide, signaling that he was very friendly and had no hostility.

Then, with honest eyes, he looked directly at the Calamity King Beast: “Things have come to this, let’s talk.”

The Calamity King beast only stared at him, without a sound.

"Don't do that. We are all respectable people, so let's just be open and honest with each other. As the saying goes, cooperation benefits both sides, while conflict harms both."

Still silent.

"In fact, Your Excellency's reputation has been something I've long admired. There may have been some misunderstandings before..."

Continue to be silent.

"Uh, I'm not sure why you brought me here..."

...or silence.

>

"Your esteemed Lord of Calamity, I wonder what commands you might have for me I am at your service!"

After talking to himself for a long time, Jiang Wang finally realized that although the other party had intelligence no less than that of a human, it didn't speak human language.

This tag is a container for paragraphs.

That's not surprising at all. You see, the languages of all human nations have gradually evolved over a long period of time.

The languages spoken today are vastly different from those spoken hundreds or thousands of years ago.

Many of the mythical beasts in Shan Hai Jing are creatures that have been extinct for several eras in the real world.

It's perfectly normal for people to not understand each other.

Need not speak of those languages lost to the long ages. How many people today are fluent in the Dayu language, once spoken throughout Dongyu

As for the cultivators who entered the Shan Hai Realm throughout history...

Across the vast mountains and seas, how many places could these people visit

Some exotic beasts may not be encountered by humans, and even if they are, they may not be willing to learn human language.

>

It's a pity that I can't speak or write Dao language.

Otherwise, a single pronunciation or character can accurately convey complex meanings and is not at all bound by who you are communicating with.

Jiang Wang thought for a moment.

He patted his chest and said, "Me!"

Again, he pointed at the King Beast of Calamity, and said, “You!”

Then, he grasped his own right hand with his left hand, shook it vigorously, and shouted, "Friends!"

"Let me repeat myself: I want to be friends with you, understand"

With such detailed body language, so rich expressions, and simple yet powerful tone of voice, Wang Shou probably understood...

Because it spat to the side.

Jiang Wang: ...

A King of Calamities, a pride of the Great Qi, stared at each other with wide eyes. After staring for a long time, the Calamity King beast tilted its head, seeming to be struggling with how to communicate with Jiang Wang.

All in all, the atmosphere at the moment is quite peaceful (except for King of Calamity Beast who doesn't like making friends).

At least both sides are seeking communication, rather than confrontation.

After a moment of thought, the King of Calamity Beast's eyes lit up, as if he had finally come up with a clever idea. It stretched out its right front paw and scooped into the lava lake, and a burning ball of magma rose into the air and flew towards Jiang Wang.

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

To call this an attack, its strength is simply too weak.

Could it be... that he's playing a game

What's the way to make amends between feuding parties

>

This guy is such a hypocrite!

And still says they don't want to make friends!

Looking at the delighted eyes of King Doom Beast, Jiang Wang already knew what was going on. With a wave of his hand, he stopped the magma and even controlled it to perform a spinning trick in mid-air before gently breaking it down into beautiful crimson lava rain that drifted gracefully downwards.

Then, he reached out and grabbed a ball of magma, giving the Disaster Beast an encouraging look and saying, "You can do it too!"

Then with a crack, it smashed the blob of magma right onto the face of the Calamity Beast.

Jiang Wang: ...

Why doesn't this guy hide

What's going on here

Jiang Wang's smile seemed a little stiff.

And the King Beast of Calamity's dog-like face was completely emotionless. Its eyes held no feeling whatsoever. Only the fiery, viscous lava slowly dripping down its face gave any sign of life.

This is a description of a truly formidable and powerful being, a king of calamity who commands great respect even within the mystical realm of Shan Hai Jing.

The atmosphere seemed to have become heavy...

>

An awkward silence stretched on for a long time.

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

The Calamity King Beast finally convinced himself again and lowered his head to bite into the magma.

Then he opened his mouth and spat at Jiang Wang.

The magma clump was still lacking in power, leaping about in the air and being effortlessly intercepted by Jiang Wang.

>

Want more

Jiang Wang only felt that the life of this calamity king beast was too monotonous, he didn't have fun playing, but he still had to continue. It can be seen that what kind of boring days he lived on weekdays.

A true man can bend but not break...

He had no choice but to grab another lump of magma and throw it back.

This time the movement was lighter and more cautious, afraid that the King Beast would use its face to receive it again.

This sluggishly flying magma was directly shattered in front of him. The Disaster King Beast seemed to have lost its patience and jumped into the magma lake, charging towards Jiang Wang.

The momentum is extremely fierce.

Jiang Wang was also angry.

I swallow my anger to play games with you, and you still get mad at me.

Is the King of Calamities really that great

He was never one to sit idly by, drawing his sword with a clang.

Though I was thoroughly crushed once, and the disparity in strength became crystal clear, I still responded with all my might.

Heavenly Mansion Body, Sword Immortal, Human Dao Sword Style, Bu Zhou Wind...

This battle was more effortless than the previous one, Jiang Wang asked himself if he had performed better.

Here is the translation, remembering to keep the HTML tags:

But towards Jiang Wang's various killing moves, the Hoadou Beast didn't budge an inch. It merely used its claws, teeth, and suction to easily resolve them. There were several times when its sharp fangs nearly tore through Jiang Wang's throat.

With fists, feet, swordsmanship, Taoist magic, and divine powers, Jiang Wang exhausted all combat possibilities, battling the Calamity King Beast to the death.

Not until the Sanmai True Fire appeared did it suddenly open its mouth and swallow it in one gulp.

And then, he turned around as if nothing mattered, and walked away nonchalantly, ignoring Jiang Wang's next attack.

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

Jiang Wang, whose face was already bruised and swollen, stood dumbfounded for a while before finally understanding the dog's intentions.

The King Beast of Calamity spared his life purely because the taste of his Samadhi True Fire was not bad, wanting to be able to eat a few bites every day... This was treating Jiang [the man's name] as his "personal chef"!

The first two demonstrations of magma were clearly mimicking the samadhi fire, hinting that he was summoning it to be consumed.

After repeated attempts to teach him proved unsuccessful, he resorted to more drastic measures...

This should be translated as:

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

How unreasonable!

At this moment, Jiang Wang looked at the huge lava lake. It was just like a big bowl of thick soup, and he, Jiang Wang, was the ingredient in the bowl.

Meat in the soup

And the calamities that spread across the mountains and plains seemed to be eyeing him hungrily. But only the king of the Calamity Clan could enjoy such a precious "dinner"...

Though surrounded by magma, Jiang Wang knew clearly that the blush on his face was not caused by the heat of the magma.

He really wanted to draw his sword and strike down this calamity king. He really wanted to stew all these calamities, pot by pot—if only he was strong enough.

Looking around, one could understand why the Calamity Beast imprisoned him here without any restrictions.

As far as the eye can see, all that stretches out is a vista of mountains spewing lava.

Wherever he goes, he brings disaster. Where can he run to and how far can he run

...Strength...

Ultimately, it still boils down to strength.

An inch of delay in swordplay could mean the difference between life and death for an opponent.

Weakly, bullied three points!

Jiang Wang gritted his teeth for eight or nine breaths, then silently sat down and began to regulate his breath.

Imprisoned by the King of Calamity Beasts, he became a cook himself, his divine fire reduced to an ingredient...

To say it is, of course, a disgrace.

But what after the shame

Self-pity is pointless, and blaming heaven and earth is even more unnecessary.

Curses and insults can't hurt people, unless you are Yin Guan.

If you can't beat them, don't run away, then cultivate.

Always spend time on the most meaningful things.

Under the same divine presence, why could some escape unharmed from the furious Qilin Ox, while he was caught and brought back to his lair like a mouse by the calamity cat

Of course, the Disaster King Beast was more cunning. The Disaster King Beast also brought a large army...

>

But even if there were ten thousand reasons, Jiang Wang would not shirk his responsibility.

After all, it's a lack of strength.

Since there is no danger to life now, then work hard to improve yourself.

One can't escape from a foreign property, but what about another jurisdiction

The path ahead is hazy and unreliable. What then, after clarity

If swordsmanship in the present day is insufficient to oppose it, then what about reaching the pinnacle of this art

The Samadhi True Fire was swallowed easily. If one could develop to the extreme limit of this realm, what would it be like

There's too much room for improvement.

When it comes to the outside world, his lack of foundation and depth becomes glaringly obvious.

Within the Imperial Palace, he was already considered the best in history. However, when he arrived at the Outer Court, where he needed to improve in every aspect, this gap that shouldn't have been widened exposed his weaknesses completely.

Those disciples from prestigious families, every step of the way to each realm had already been paved. They just needed to follow the established path forward.

Here is the translation of your text:

Like solitary cultivators such as Yin Guan, had long grasped the path.

He always had a clear idea of the path he wanted to take and vaguely knew where his journey led, but it never gained a clearer, more concrete outline.

This is something that can't be rushed.

One can only keep moving forward with unwavering determination, without knowing how long the journey will last.

Although he is undoubtedly a top powerhouse within the Outer Court right now, capable of vying for the strongest position even in life-or-death battles. But in reality, he still has some gaps compared to the true top powerhouses of the Outer Court in all aspects.

Although the unruly wind had reached its utmost limit of cultivation, it couldn't help him escape.

The development of the True Fire of Samadhi has always seemed to be veiled by something, unable to directly point to its true nature. That is why it was later surpassed by the Wind of Unrestrained Chaos.

Do not stray from the right path.

A sword fairy's power lies in integration, entirely depending on the strength of other powers.

Even now, the Divine Ability of Red Heart is not fully understood.

In terms of magical techniques, there are two exceptional arts: the Dragon and Tiger and the Fire Flower Burning City. They are not inferior to any others.

In swordsmanship, she is still inferior to Ning Shuangrong.

...the exploration of the path cannot be compared to Dou Zhao's...

A low growl suddenly arose.

Jiang Wang, who was engrossed in his cultivation, turned his head to look.

A powerful, fearsome beast suddenly rushed to the edge of the lava lake. It flung whatever it had in its mouth and then left without looking back.

He was quite arrogant.

That flying in the air, however, was a fiery red lotus carved from jade.

Spinning and twirling, beautiful and delicate.

I couldn't help but fall silent for a moment.

Where couldn't he understand

This is clearly a calamity's "feeding" to him, afraid that his Samādhi fire wouldn't be enough...

Thinking of him, the peerless genius Jiang Qingyang.

Traveling tens of thousands of miles alone, roaming the world, who would dare to challenge me

Now they are being kept as livestock by a group of monsters!

This is such a slap in the face.

Lord Jiang was overcome with grief for a moment, thinking on how hateful the beast was while also thinking that he wouldn't let this go to waste. He bit down hard on a petal of the fire lotus. Feeling the surge of fire essence within him instantly, he felt a little better.

Then she bit into it again.

Even the crimson divine seed glowed more brightly.
