Chapter 2455: Chapter 89: Originally Nothing

When passing through the Mountain Gate of the Blood River Sect earlier, Jiang Wang also encountered Peng Chongjian’s disciple, Yu Xiaochen.

Si Yu’an immediately discerned Yu Xiaochen’s background and mentioned Peng Chongjian.

At that time, Jiang Wang knew that Peng Chongjian must be extraordinary. How could someone remembered by Yandao True Monarch be simple?

But it hovered lightly without landing. In Xu Ximing’s description, this person’s mighty image became profound.

Xu Ximing further said, "If anything unexpected happens to Huo Shiji, there’s no second candidate other than Peng Chongjian for the next Sect Master of Blood River Sect."

Jiang Wang almost couldn’t resist reaching out to cover his mouth.

This guy really dares to speak!

But thinking about it, with Wu Bingyi here, he indeed seemed to have nothing he couldn’t say.

Having a backer is really impressive!

He couldn’t help but glance toward the Door of Mortal World, wondering if Ruan Qin might come. If so, when?

He casually asked, "Doesn’t the Blood River Sect have a Right Protector and several elders?"

Xu Ximing waved his hand casually, "Far inferior to Peng Chongjian. But the Blood River Sect Right Protector Kou Xuejiao’s three thousand Red Dust Swords are indeed extraordinary. Once I achieve the Insight of Truth, I must seek advice from her."

Speaking of Kou Xuejiao, he revealed a touch of youthful spirit.

Saying this, he glanced at Jiang Wang’s Longing, "Your sword is also quite nice."

Jiang Wang smiled and said, "If Brother Xu is willing to instruct, I have time anytime."

Xu Ximing laughed heartily, "There’ll be opportunities."

"Either you come to the old mountain, with the cold pool reflecting the sword, or I go to the Cliff of Celestial Punishment, listening to sound at the Ritual Stone. It’s all elegant affairs." Jiang Wang said, "I’m also curious about Brother Xu’s sword. Few famous swords in the world exceed six feet... What’s the name of this sword?"

"This sword is called [Zhu Li], passed down by my master." When speaking about his beloved sword, Xu Ximing’s not-so-good-looking face showed something called belief, making him upright and dignified, "May the world be without sin, and may the magic sword be forged into a plow!"

Jiang Wang couldn’t help but praise, "This name for the sword is truly unparalleled!"

Xu Ximing held Zhu Li with great pride, "Otherwise, why call it the Outline Palace Magic Sword..."

Before finishing his words, he staggered, the residual sound swallowed, and the sword momentum was completely shaken, abruptly causing waves in Saint Water!

This was not ordinary waves but ones that shook the rules, unsettling even the strong Divine Arrival temporarily.

Xu Ximing’s feet shifted, setting Zhu Li vertically before him, exuding majesty throughout his body, stabilizing the sword stance, and looking seriously into the distance.

What happened again?

Jiang Wang learned a lesson earlier and dared not directly observe the battlefield of Yan Dao Experts with the naked eye.

He slightly stilled his spirit and had already grasped the Red Mirror.

Through his growth, the Red Mirror played a pivotal role, crossing three disasters of Flying Snow, Fuhai, and Asking Heart, making his spirit strength far superior to cultivators of the same boundary.

Since the Asking Heart Disaster, he hadn’t challenged the disasters within the Mirror World of the Red Mirror.

Because he had already earned enough cultivation resources by himself. With his current status and position, he could obtain enough cultivation opportunities steadily, without risking soul destruction in the unfamiliar Red Mirror to fight desperately.

The Red Mirror’s current maximum insight range was still within fifty miles. But now the battlefield of Yan Dao Experts was far beyond fifty miles.

Jiang Wang had his methods.

At the limit of the Red Mirror’s range, a Jiang Wang in green robe wielding a sword casually strolled out, calmly gazing into the distance.

Using the illusion of Red Mirror, combined with the Eye Immortal’s application, to observe the battlefield at the Yan Dao Level.

Although there was a terrifying impact, first suppressed by several Yan Dao Experts and then filtered through the Red Mirror, it was unlikely to pose a severe threat.

At this moment, within the Evil Sea, two Yan Dao Level Evil Observations appeared: one a six-armed human snake, the other a single-eyed long-haired woman, both wielding Dao Principles and capable of confronting True Monarchs. Besides, the Insight of Truth Level Evil Observations amounted to hundreds, and those at the Divine Arrival Level were countless.

The six-armed human snake had been reduced to a single python tail by Huo Shiji, still struggling in the water, stirring up terrifying waves. At this point, it looked nothing like before, only resembling a giant python overturning the sea. The grand ritual fire on the python’s body was still not extinguished.

The single-eyed long-haired woman’s black hair had been shaved away on one side, appearing even more terrifying. She was surrounded by a circle of black flames, close like clothing, representing extreme suppression.

At this moment, she stood on a large, yellowed open book, completely imprisoned, isolated from those Evil Observations used as fuel by her. In this Rootless World, she became a solitary prisoner.

Vaguely visible on the book were segments of text. The writing went as follows—

"The ancients said a gentleman is like jade, but I cannot concur. Jade is a wealthy and noble utensil, unable to understand the suffering of poverty or the lament of the lowly. How could a true gentleman be ignorant of the people’s plight? Jade is brittle, anxious for damage when held, fearing loss when released, breaking upon light touch, snapping under force. How could the world’s gentleman not withstand wind and rain?"

If there were Confucian disciples present, they might recognize that this Chapter is titled "On Jade" from Chen Pu’s own work, the contemporary Confucian classic, "Junzi Zhang."

In modern times, many honor the ancient but not solely rely on it, believing the present must surpass the past. It’s not uncommon for contemporary Grandmasters to write famous Chapters becoming school classics.

Like the Legalists’ Han Shentu’s "Treatise on Power," and the Confucianist Chen Pu’s "Junzi Zhang."

Chen Pu once said—"Ask me about my lifetime legacy – Book Mountain and Sea, Junzi Zhang."
