e of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance, even before the battle, Chong Xuan Chu Liang also “made time” to meet him.“General Chongxuan,” Fu Miao strode into the general’s tent after bowing. He went straig...Qiao Lin led several elite soldiers of the Heavenly Covering Army, guarding Lord Jiang Hou. They returned to Minhe Temple with their chests held high and spirits soaring.

Suddenly, cheers and laughter filled the courtyard.

The bearing was like Jiang Wang had already become invincible in the world.

Jiang Wang had to put a stop to it, lest these fellows became inflated and make enemies for him everywhere.

He likes challenges, but he doesn't enjoy getting beaten up.

That is to say, even within this Minhe Temple, he couldn't act recklessly.

The state of divine presence isn't like external palaces or inner mansions, lacking clear distinctions between minor realms. The Hall of Incarnating Deities has only one space; the Dao pulse flows upon it, and the soul resides within. There are no five halls or four courtyards, no particularly obvious boundaries. Despite being the first major realm after transcending the divide between heaven and mortals, the so-called "gate of the upper three ranks," there's a significant gap in strength between different cultivators.

Throughout history, the divine has manifested in boundless realms.

How can mortals distinguish between those as powerful as gods

A cultivator's path can manifest in different ways. Some cultivate their spirit realm first, others develop supernatural abilities, and still others embark on the path of Dao. Judging strength based solely on outward appearances is difficult, as it varies greatly.

According to his own experience, Jiang Wang felt that if you divide them based on combat strength, they could be roughly divided into four levels.

...such as Zheng Zhaoyang, who achieved a divine presence at a great cost or through special means, but was born lacking, without supernatural powers, an unformed spiritual domain, and an unsteady path. This is known as a weak divine presence. Their strength is roughly stronger than those simple-minded divine presences in Bianhuang, slightly stronger than demons, but still capable of suppressing cultivators from the outer realms with their golden bodies and jade marrow.

Those like Yue Leng and Li Youjiu, who can hold important positions in powerful nations and are not lacking in ruthless methods, are considered ordinary incarnations. This type of incarnation makes up the vast majority of divine incarnations throughout the world. Zhou Xiong and Yan Tu also belong to this category.

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

Just like those several Xia State Dukes he faced on the battlefield, they were all extraordinary in terms of divine power, Taoist path, killing techniques, spirit realm, and physical body. They were considered powerful deities who had reached a high level. This level's upper limit is extremely high, and he himself was at this level. This included Dou Zhao, Chong Xuan Zun, and even those like Ji Zhao Nan and Chun Yu Gui, who were a generation older than him, they were all within this category.

Like the once-guilty Jun Huang, and the former executioner Chong Xuan Liang of this level, are those who truly stand at the pinnacle. Looking at the world today, there are very few like them, rarer than even true people.

Of course, if we want to be more precise, we can further subdivide. For example, some realms have more potential, some reach the limit in a certain direction, and some are just at the level of powerful gods. Right now, Ji Zhaonan is definitely stronger than Zhong Xuanzun at this level. Could we separate them into another category... But that's too complicated and unnecessary.

Jiang Wang scrutinized his own strength, asking himself if even under the pressure of a peerless expert, he could still hold his ground. There might be disparities in strength, but in a life-or-death struggle, there was always a chance.

But if facing the pinnacle of divinity, it would merely be a matter of escaping for one's life.

When he was being beaten by Chongxuan Chulian on the Point General Platform, although he was only an inner palace disciple, Ji Zhaonan was a true genius who had descended from heaven. However, he was treated like clay by Chongxuan Chulian, crushed with ease.

Even at that time, Chong Xuan Zhu Liang was simultaneously "guiding" three people, simultaneously with three equal levels of cultivation, crushing three top-level prodigies!

When facing Zhao Nan, the divine presence descended. Against Xuan Zun, he struck from afar. When confronting Jiang Wang, his attacks focused on the inner sanctum. His control over power was simply extraordinary, leaving the three of them speechless.

Looking back, Jiang Wang didn't feel that she could have performed better than Ji Zhaonan.

As for the envoys who came to observe this time, it was nothing to him that the envoys from the small nations were present. Among the envoys from powerful countries, Murong Longce and Huang Nudong were both nearly ten years older than him, so he didn't intend to provoke them.

Like Zhongli Yan, like Dou Zhao, like Chen Suan and those of his contemporaries, he welcomed all challengers and was happy to spar with them.

Even the powerful divine beings in Mu Guo, those famous young divine beings, such as the disciples of several true blood families, such as Liang who had ascended the Guanhe Stage... If the people of Mu Guo don't mind, he also wants to test his skills.

Battle is self-recognition, but also a test of the path. In short, it is to strictly follow the instructions of Emperor Qi Tianzi and strive to bring glory to the State of Qi.

As for now...

After bathing and changing, Lord Jiang ordered Qiao Lin to prepare a gift. Then, he took it himself and went alone to visit the head monk of Minhe Temple, Priest Jin Mian Tuhui.

Tu Hu strolled along, bathed in divine light, and softly said: “Indeed. ‘If one obtains extensive hearing,’ ‘If one is taught to hear,’ ‘As I have heard,’ these are the Three Hearings and Three Buddhas of Faith in the Buddhist tradition. How could it not be good”

Jiang Wang's heart skipped a beat.

Tu Hu's words were already crystal clear. This widely known bell, the Guang Wen Zhong, must be related to the one I heard at Xu Kong Temple!

But how could that be

A Buddhist sect from the East and a divine religion from the North. They weren't naturally opposed, but at least they were clearly distinct. How could there be a story between them

He raised his eyes to gaze at the bas-relief on the azure clock face: “What about this bas-relief...”

If the Guhwangzhong bell is a Buddhist artifact, how come it is engraved with the story of the divine messenger Minhal from the Canggtu pantheon

“Oh.” Tu Hu said casually, “Carved on after the destruction of Kūróngyuan.”

He spoke so casually, as if he wasn't sharing some earth-shattering secret.

But the name of Kuyuin, it was really too sensitive.

The matter involved the abdication and reinstatement of a crown prince in Qi, even reaching back to the Warring States period when Qi and Xia competed for hegemony.

The widely renowned Great Bell hanging at the entrance of the main hall in Minhe Temple, located in the Imperial Palace of the Prairie Empire, could actually be related to Kuen Rong Yuan

Once the dust of history is swept away, cobwebs spread across the yellowed pages of time. When posterity reminisces about past events, all that remains are fragmented phrases and shattered images. It takes painstaking effort to piece them together and faintly glimpse the truth.

The very difficulty and complexity of this piecing together is precisely what makes it great.

However, there is no record of this well-known bell. Jiang Wang has no way to guess about it.

What exactly happened in Qi and Mu states, with the Mu court and Ku Rong Institute, back then

The story of the angel Minhar, who preached during that time, seems more complicated than imagined. The things involved in this widely known Yezdi temple seem to be more than just what people have described...

Even the name "Yeh Cheh-Mu" is not so simple.

The main hall of the Minshe Temple, dedicated to the divine envoy of the Cangtu Divine Sect, was surprisingly named after a widely known bell related to Ku Rongyuan.

Just thinking about it, I feel overwhelmed. There must be countless hidden complexities and entanglements.

How complex history is!

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

As for the complexity of history, having gone through many things, Jiang Wang was no longer so surprised.

To his surprise, why was Tu Hu telling him these things

He didn't think he was particularly likable, nor did he have any habit of acting as a mentor to others.

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

It's been many days since he came to Mu Guo. Besides the day he first arrived at Min He Temple and their chance encounter on the edge of the wilderness, they had never interacted privately. If not for his visit today, there wouldn't have been this exchange.

So, why is that

A hint A tacit understanding A nudge

Ginger remembered the parting words of the Jade Emperor before his departure:

"Go with two ears and two eyes, listen more, see more, and come back and tell me what you heard and saw. That's all."

"Alas," he sighed, "I have lived in ignorance. What is this 'Three Hearings and Three Buddhas' Faith I've never even heard of it."

"Oh" Tu Hu's profound eyes looked over, "Aren't you a disciple of Master Kujue from Xuankong Temple"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wang's first thought was—the Golden Crown Priest of the Cangtu Divine Sect, and the actual power figure in the country, Tu Hu, actually knew the name of Kule. If that yellow-faced old monk heard about it, he would definitely be overjoyed.

Even within the Buddhist territory of Xuankong Temple, few people knew about his suffering, let alone called him "Master."

"I merely said that Master Ku of Bitter Taste has treated me very well, but I have no intention of becoming a monk."

“That’s right,” Tu Hu nodded. “The national system is where the tide of humanity lies, more in line with the general trend than any sect.”

There's no problem with that.

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

But coming from someone like Tu Hu, whose identity is complex and whose stance is contradictory, there's a hint of something unspoken in his words.

Jiang Wang wanted to ask for clarification, whether the faction mentioned by Tu Hu included the Cangtu Divine Sect. However, he knew that asking this would go against the emperor's instructions to "only bring your ears and eyes." So, he merely replied: "I haven't thought about it that much. It's mainly because my six senses are impure, and I don't feel like I have Buddha's grace."

"You say your six senses are impure, yet you don't go to the Shen'en Temple. It seems your intentions are quite ambitious."

"Actually, it's very small too,"

“Size is only a relative concept, just like time is merely a human-made measurement. Only this world and this space truly exist.”塗扈 gently curled the corner of her mouth, glanced at the Broad Hearing Bell again, and sighed wistfully: “It seems that Ku Rong Courtyard back then placed the Broad Hearing Bell here without expecting it to last longer than Ku Rong Courtyard itself.”

>

The Withered Glory Courtyard, the Withered Glory Courtyard, Tu Hu has mentioned it thrice already.

Since "Sanwen Sanfo Xinx" ("Faith in the Three Hearings and Three Buddhas") names both "ru de guang wen" ("as to have widely heard") and "ru me wo wen" ("thus have I heard") as equally important, it's likely that the Guang Wen Bell is of the same rank as the Wo Wen Bell.

Why did Kūryō-in Temple back then put such a treasure of the temple, into Mokugokumin Temple

Jiang Wang felt a strong sense of curiosity, but this curiosity was also accompanied by a hint of unease.

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

At this moment, the reminder from Yuwen Tuo surged into his mind—trouble. The person in front of him was a very troublesome figure.

Jiang Wang pressed down on her curiosity once more, smiling and saying, "I'm completely unfamiliar with Ku Rong Yuan."

Tu Hu smiled faintly and said nothing more. He led the way, bypassing this famous bell tower—perhaps it should now be called the "Broad-Hearing Minhal Bell Tower"

Two people walked through the courtyard and another door before entering the main hall, where they each sat down.

Tu Huizheng sat at the head, solemn and dignified, his bearing and etiquette impeccable.

"Speaking of which, Marquis Wu'an is visiting today…" He glanced at the various items Jiang Wang held in his hands and continued, "and even brought gifts. What business could he possibly have"

Jiang Wang put down the gift in his hand and said solemnly: "I came here mainly to thank Lord Tu for his help in Bianhuang."

Tu Hu picked up his eyebrows: "Borderland"

"My lord, don't you remember It only happened a few days ago," Jiang Wang exclaimed.

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

“Maybe I’m just too busy.” Tu Hu pressed his forehead, looking a little troubled: “What did I do”

Jiang Wang's heart was even more confused, but she suppressed it and briefly recounted the incident, thanking him again and again.

>

Upon hearing this, Tu Hu pondered thoughtfully: "Capturing spirits, manifesting their true forms, and transforming them into demonic creatures must be the work of the Phantom Demon Lord."

"Phantom Demon Lord"

“North of the line of life and death, one of the highest commanders of the Demon Clan. His true body is in the Myriad Realms Burial Ground, but only his power projection exists here. However, he rarely takes action…”

"Above the True Demons, isn't it the Heavenly Demon This Demon Lord... could he be above the pinnacle"

“Oh, that’s not quite right,” Tu Hu explained. “The Demon Lord is indeed stronger than the average Heavenly Demon, but he has not transcended the peak. He is a very special existence in the desolate tomb of the ten thousand realms, and there are only eight at most in the same era. Now there are only four left, Huanmojun being one of them.”

> I don't know which four people you mean.

These four are, respectively, the Demon Lord of Gods, the Demon Lord of Emperors, the Demon Lord of Illusions, and the Seven Hates Demon Lord!

The so-called "Three Hearings, Three Buddha Faith" is, just like the previous passage, something I concocted. Please don't take it too seriously as a Buddhist doctrine outside of this book.

The author has not delved into Buddhist studies and only pursues a naive philosophy that seeks logical consistency in the world, as well as a balance of power across all aspects. They lack the ability to create their own canon. Readers interested in this subject should not take this too seriously.
