“Naturally, I know a little.” Jiang Wen didn't hide anything and told her what he knew about the Sumeru World. He also told Wu Ji about the Pure Yang Saint's suspicion that the great mist originated from the space between the two realms.
After listening to Jiang Wen's words, Wu Ji nodded thoughtfully. She looked at Jiang Wen with an interested expression.
“I never expected you to know so much, even being clear about the outer realms that I don’t even understand.”
“I just had the good fortune to go there,” Jiang Wen said with a wry smile.
“This Sumeru World is truly mysterious. Even I find it difficult to locate. But after you said that, I do know of some places that can lead to this Sumeru World.” Wu Ji seemed to have thought of something and nodded thoughtfully.
“If it were just the Sumeru World, it wouldn't be enough to make you, Heavenly King, wage war outside the old lands year after year, right?” Jiang Wen asked again.
“That's natural. My interest in the Sumeru World is just curiosity. The real reason is that I discovered that beneath this thick earth, there is an even more glorious dynasty buried. This dynasty was extremely powerful, invincible. Just a wisp of knowledge I learned is enough to be shocking. But I discovered something from the classics they left behind.”
“This dynasty was destroyed overnight,” Wu Ji said, staring at Jiang Wen, word by word. “I don't understand what kind of great power could destroy such a prosperous dynasty. Even the current Tai Cang would be like an ordinary tribe in this dynasty.”
“I call them the Immortal Dynasty, an incredibly powerful force. The territory they ruled was countless, and the number of experts within was immeasurable. Even someone of my realm would be as common as a crucian carp crossing a river in this Immortal Dynasty. I learned from the classics that there is another realm above my realm. The Immortal Dynasty called it 'God Immortal'. And the process of becoming a God Immortal is called 'Ascension'.”
“God Immortals were like kings and marquises in the Immortal Dynasty, capable of creating heaven and earth, plucking stars and seizing the moon. But even the Immortal Dynasty, which possessed such great power, was instantly destroyed. Can you imagine my mood when I saw these classics at the time? That kind of shock, despair, bewilderment, and helplessness. I didn't know what to do, after all, for the entire Tai Cang, I am like an emperor.”
“But I am not omnipotent, and I also have times when I am exhausted. I fear that Tai Cang will be destroyed instantly like the Immortal Dynasty, so I want to occupy more land and spread Tai Cang's civilization to farther places. After all, someone once said to me, 'The only thing that can exist eternally in the world is a brilliant civilization'. I think this is very correct, so I want to preserve Tai Cang for longer.”
After Wu Ji finished speaking, Jiang Wen rubbed his stiff chin. He didn't expect that behind Jiang Wenji, there would be so many stories. The towering Immortal Dynasty, its overnight destruction was like a thorn, deeply piercing Jiang Wenji's heart, making it difficult for her to pull it out. This is the worry that a superior person should have, and it is also her responsibility as the king of Tai Cang.
That's why Jiang Wenji wanted to expand outward, in order to occupy more resources and create a more powerful Tai Cang.
“Do you think what I have done is right or wrong?” Wu Ji suddenly asked.
“What does right or wrong matter? Who can say clearly about the affairs of the world? I just think that instead of worrying about the rise and fall of dynasties, you, Heavenly King, might as well look at the things in front of you. People have birth and death, and so do dynasties. If you neglect the present because of worrying about the future, I'm afraid it is not a wise choice.” Jiang Wen thought for a while and told Wu Ji his thoughts. Anyway, whether she believes it or not is up to her, and what he says is just words.
After all, he had been warned by the world before, and if he messes around again, he will definitely be kicked back.
“Is that so? That is truly my regret. But it doesn't matter, if one day you are still willing, I will welcome you at any time.” Wu Ji said with a confident smile. She stretched lazily and stood up, then walked towards the outside of the book pavilion.
“Where is the Heavenly King going?” Jiang Wen asked.
“Naturally, I am going out for a walk,” Wu Ji said with a smile. “I have been in this royal city for many years, and I am naturally a little tired of it. Now that someone is willing to help me govern, of course, I will also relax.”
“But she is still occupying your body, if…” Jiang Wen hesitated to speak.
“It doesn't matter, let her use it for the time being. If I want to take it back, I can naturally take it back.” As Wu Ji said, she waved to Jiang Wen.
The world changed, and the two came to the bottom of the Immeasurable Pavilion in the next moment.
The sudden appearance startled the guards, but after seeing that it was Jiang Wen and Wu Ji, they quickly let the two pass.
Wu Ji looked at everything with interest, and she felt so fresh about the things here.
“I haven’t been to this Immeasurable Pavilion for two thousand years, I didn’t expect it to have become like this.” Wu Ji strolled around the Immeasurable Pavilion with a leisurely expression. Jiang Wen followed her and carefully looked at the changes in the Immeasurable Pavilion.
It is indeed much more refined and grand than before, and the various facilities in the pavilion are also complete. Last time, he didn't take a good look with Xue, but this time, he took a closer look with Jiang Wenji, who had transformed into Wu Ji.
He ascended the Immeasurable Pavilion and sat in front of the stone table. Soon, a maid served tea.
Jiang Wen gave two spirit stones, which made the maid very happy. After she left, the two picked up their teacups and drank.
“I haven’t drunk tea for many years, the taste is still the same.”
“I didn’t expect that the Heavenly King would be so busy with things that you don’t even have time to come to the Immeasurable Pavilion for a cup of tea,” Jiang Wen joked.
“Yes, all the big and small affairs of this Tai Cang require me to work hard. If there was no one to take over, I would like to step down,” Wu Ji said with a smile.
“Why not choose one or two from the Jiang clan of Tai Cang?” Jiang Wen suggested.
“Let’s wait a little longer, I think I can hold on for a few more years. After that, I will look for the children of the Jiang clan.” Wu Ji shook her head, obviously dissatisfied with the children of the Jiang clan. After all, as the royal family of Tai Cang, they have been slowly declining in recent years. The royal family, which once produced many strong people, has now declined to the point where they need to rely on Tianyuan City to maintain their position, which is something Wu Ji quite dislikes.
“I have another question, I don’t know if I can ask you,” Jiang Wen said to Wu Ji after thinking about it.
“Speak.”
“Is Wu Ji really the Heavenly King’s good thoughts? Why do I always feel that she is quite unrestrained, which is very different from the Heavenly King’s kindness.”
“She is my good thoughts, there is no doubt about that, but she is not my complete good thoughts.” Wu Ji took a sip from her teacup and then said slowly. “I did not cut off my good thoughts, but only cut off the confusion in my good thoughts.”
“To be precise, she is just an incarnation of mine,” Wu Ji said the truth, and Jiang Wen understood why she was not in a hurry.
After all, strength is supreme, and Jiang Wenji can take back her body at any time. In this way, what Wu Ji has done is just a joke.
“You have asked me so many things, it’s my turn to ask you one thing,” Wu Ji looked at Jiang Wen with a smile.
“Please ask.”
“Is your name really Jiang Wen?”
After hearing these words, Jiang Wen looked at Wu Ji in astonishment.
