Chapter 28: Demon Ape Weighing the Mountain

From the south, the heavens depart,Since ancient times, no one has lived here.

Now Ju Cheng is stationed here, with government offices lining the streets. Lofty mountains and precipitous ridges bridge across high passes, turning treacherous sky-gaps into easy paths, so crowds of people surge forth in great numbers.

The Visionary Immortal Boat came from the north, suspended high above, attracting countless gazes.

When the most renowned figure in the world arrives, even in this hallowed academy of learning, many people flock to catch a glimpse of him, eager to witness the legend firsthand.

On a pure white fairy boat, Jiang Wang stood with his hands behind his back at the bow, patiently waiting for Shu Wei Jun.

He didn't want to go into this huge city.

Ye Qingyu asked, "When I passed through the Cloud Kingdom just now, did my father say anything to you"

The Jianwen Immortal Boat was too fast, and even the vast Qichang Mountains were just a fleeting glance.

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

Limited by his cultivation, Ye Qingyu only noticed a movement in the clouds above Baixue Peak. It was probably a message from his father, but he couldn't delve into the details.

On New Year's Eve of the year 3928, she spent it with Jiang Wang and Jiang Annan by the Shantaixi River. She only wrote a congratulatory letter to her elderly father. When she left with Jiang Annan earlier, she said they were going on an adventure and sightseeing in the Wuyan Mountains, promising to be back quickly. However, after so many days, she was still here at the beginning of the year, accompanying Jiang Wang as he challenged various places...

Now that she has passed her house without entering, she feels very guilty.

Jiang Wang let out an "Oh" and said, "Master Ye was very enthusiastic and invited me to have a drink. I was busy on my way, so I told him next time—you can rest assured, we get along very well."

Ye Qingyu gave him a withering glance: "What does it have to do with me whether you two are getting along well or not"

"The host is too oblivious to human sentiment!" Bai Yuxia exclaimed. "Ye Gezhu, that's what kind of figure he is During the New Year, he asks you to have a drink, you just have a drink, what difference does it make Your duel with Shu Wei Jun, could it be influenced by one or two cups of alcohol"

On the Immortal Boat, each cultivator had their own path. Chu Yao was always obedient and diligently studied the Dao scriptures, pondering every word and character. Even though Jiang An'an loved to play, she never neglected her homework. Even Yu Chan, a newly ascended Divine Being, had many areas that needed strengthening...

But this Bai Guan'er, he's just too carefree and lacks vision. He must have been corrupted by the forward-thinking ones.

Jiang Wang glanced at him calmly: "I do have something on. In that case, Bai Guanji, you're a knowledgeable person. Now, I'll send you with the Jianwen Immortal Boat. You go to Baixue Peak and have a drink for me."

Bai Yu Xie let out a 'hey', and then remained silent.

When the Xianzhou, a magnificent vessel said to be from another realm, had anchored for a while, Shu Wei Jun hurried over and stepped in front of it.

"I've been waiting for you, Master Jiang!" Though he was quite elderly, he did not pride himself on his age and took the initiative to bow. "Some minor matters held me up— shall we begin now"

He naturally wouldn't say he had just flipped the table at an internal meeting in Mojia. He simply went straight to the point.

Jiang Wang looked around: "Is it here"

Shu Wei-jun burst into laughter. “Let the world watch! Let them see how I lost this battle, what harm could it do!”

Jiang Wang didn't say anything about the unknown outcome of the match. He came here with the confidence to challenge and defeat all martial arts masters, so why should he be polite He simply stepped off the immortal ship and faced Shu Wei Jun on the sea of clouds: "Master is someone I deeply respect. I will do my best to win this."

Chu Yao mumbled scriptures, but her eyes couldn't help but glance outside the boat - Master was so imposing! Little Chu should be like this!

Shu Wei Jun laughed heartily and said, "In this world, there is no real person who can hold back when facing you, Jiang Wang! This old man is the same! Please be determined to kill this old man, only then will this old man feel respected!"

He clenched his fists, and his shirt ripped apart instantly, revealing the deep lines of his muscles. Yuan force flowed through the valleys, making a sound like wind whistling through a long canyon.

His muscle lines, as if naturally formed into formations!

Once exposed to air, it naturally triggers a chain reaction.

Compared to flesh and blood beings, this is another top-tier warrior physique, currently unique to Shu Wei Jun. It's called "鬼斧神工" (ghostly artistry).

The Mohist school had many cultivators who modified their bodies with mechanisms, etched talismans on their skin, and replaced flesh and blood with steel. This allowed them to transcend the limits of their own will and break free from the shackles of the physical body.

Shu Wei Jun considers himself to be walking this same path, but he refines himself through cultivation. Every detail of his physical body is the natural result of reaching a certain level of cultivation.

>

The skill of a craftsman is no match for the artistry of nature. The highest pursuit of mechanical ingenuity is to achieve a level of perfection that appears as natural and wondrous as if created by heaven itself.

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

He also cultivated his physique, embodying the traces of nature.

After more than a thousand years of refinement, it has approached perfection. The only thing that limits it is the realm.

Such a physical form, just standing there, could instill a terrifying pressure like an abyss. It was like magma churning beneath a volcano, ready to erupt in disaster at any moment.

Jiang Wang's eyes turned, carving his gaze upon this martial frame, seeking or destroying that perfect trace of the Dao. No rock or steel could withstand his scrutiny. Even more so, Samadhi True Fire rose with his gaze, burning wherever it fell.

Shu Wei-jun made no move at all.

Only wisps of black flame rose from beneath his feet, instantly engulfing his entire body. It immediately stopped the Samādhi True Fire from reaching him, and Jiang Wang's immortal eyes could only see a human figure drawn by a circle of black flames.

Facing such an opponent, any kind of test is useless. Only a true killer can bring out the turmoil beneath his vast and deep ocean.

Jiang Wang leaped forward, a single sword thrusting straight ahead, simple and direct, aiming for the imperial palace!

Tap, tap, tap.

Shu Wei Jun strode forward, each step opening up vast expanses of cloud ripples, as if walking on a raging sea.

The two met face to face in the clouds, their sword points and fists clashing without yielding!

Boom!

People saw the sky as if it were a shattered mirror, with cracks everywhere after this impact.

A vast sea of clouds clears in an instant.

Only Jiang Wang and Shu Wei-jun, who faced the bombardment head-on, remained calm and composed, showing no signs of turbulence.

Shu Wei-jun's fist was still moving forward.

Longing has been bent in half.

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

Like rice ears drooping low.

In terms of physical prowess alone, Jiang Wang, who has been tempered through countless battles, is still inferior to Wuhou. This isn't because he hasn't tried hard enough; the paths they have taken are simply different.

"Body, mind, spirit—"

Jiang Wang's thin lips moved slightly, each word drawn out slowly, as he softly uttered: "Open!"

As if the shackles of ancient times had been broken, and the eternal confinement had been cleared. The beast lurking in the shadows of time and space now bared its fangs at this moment.

There was such a resonance happening in the world.

After releasing the Three Treasures and Four Great Realities, Jiang Wang's physical body could also naturally draw upon the energy of heaven and earth.

Longing surged suddenly!

Shu Wei Jun was immediately knocked away.

Jiang Wang used his sword to block his fist, pushing him away.

Shu Wei Jun then retreated his fist!

At this moment, his chest was wide open, as if he had no defense at all, much like luring someone into a trap.

Jiang Wangcai didn't hesitate, he could go to the Dragon's Pool and Tiger's Lair, and with longing for his sweetheart, he went straight ahead!

The tip of the sword struck Shu Wei Jun's chest, producing a clang like metal on metal.

Looking at the world, even tracing back through history, theoretically, no real person could withstand Jiang Wang's sword with their bare body.

But Shu Wei-jun's situation was quite different at this moment.

The rift in the sky always existed, constantly mending and breaking apart.

Shūwéijūn was surrounded by fissures in space, like black ribbons floating about.

They are not chaotic, but rather subdued by Shu Weijun's physical form, floating in an orderly manner, like a cloak or even part of his body.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

His heart roared with a thunderous sound.

Please note: I've removed the extraneous triple angle brackets. The resulting HTML is just an empty paragraph tag. Let me know if you have other text to translate!

His muscles, carved with intricate lines like fissures in space itself. His very flesh was a natural formation, resonating with the external space-time continuum and becoming the core of another grand celestial array.

It is called "Vast Heaven and Earth Array".

The Mohist school's mastery of battle formations is unparalleled in the world. The only ones comparable to them are the extinct Gu Xia Taishi, the Jing Guo She Sheng Cao family, and the Li Guo after Hong Jun Yan returned.

This is a simple example of how to use HTML tags. Please note that I am an AI and cannot execute code or interact with web pages.

In the path of rune arrays, the Mojia stood out as a unique presence. It can even be said that the Mojia opened up this direction of array paths.

If the School of the Way (Jindao) had not already fallen, then relying on this alone would also give Mojia a chance to return to its former glory.

Shu Weijun's skills allowed him to refine his body through the workings of heaven and earth, using himself as a formation. While he didn't necessarily open up an entirely new path, he certainly pushed the imagination of the Mohist scholars to its limits.

He often said that he was so stupid that he could only do one thing well.

But after long efforts, he became so strong in this regard that there was no one who could rival him.

Jiang Wang's sword collided with such a formidable formation. It was like an ancient tree crashing into a mountain, the next moment it sank deep into the mud.

>

Shu Wei Jun's surrounding space was completely governed by his will, becoming a "small universe." All worldly rules were altered by him. In an instant, he twisted and pulled his opponent millions of times. If an ordinary cultivator faced this, they would be torn to shreds. Even a peak deity wouldn't be able to withstand this thought.

Jiang Wang held his sword motionless, it seemed to be forged onto his hand, and his arm was like stone or iron. In this chaotic situation where all rules were plundered by the opponent, he stood firm like a mountain, "My truth remains unmoved."

Shu Wei-jun braced his chest against the sword, strode forward with large steps, and simultaneously struck Jiang Wang's temples on both sides with his fists. A simple double fist strike to the ears, something even a three-year-old could do. When he used it, however, it was like two towering mountains materialized in the sky. His martial intent condensed into reality, booming closer, nearly crushing the space Jiang Wang occupied infinitely!

Jiang Wang's feet slipped, and just like that, he stood firm. His two legs, seemingly planted in empty air, felt as if they were rooted to the ground.

Shu Wei Jun has Shu Wei Jun's "small universe," he has his "true self."

The former is an array formation, the latter a stake formation.

From the void behind him, a phantom rose to its feet, solidifying in an instant.

but it was a fierce and menacingly large demon ape.

Om mani padme hum.

This demon ape bares its teeth and closes its eyes, stretching out four arms. Around its neck is a fiery chain of nine skulls, each like a miniature sun, connected by thin threads of flame.

This skull was a "gift" he received from the Oni Dragon King during his time in the Demon Realm. It wasn't particularly valuable, just a small trinket. It was an ancient dragon clan technique that could suppress demonic energy. He had refined it with his Samadhi True Fire, transforming it into this object manifested on the demon ape's body.

He also gave Ao Kui a gift - several Demon-Eliminating Seals deduced from the Heavenly Illusion Stage of the Taixu Fantasy Realm.

Whatever Ao Kui was, there was one thing that could be absolutely believed—he was certainly not loyal. To the Demon Ancestor, to the Demon Race, to anything, it was all the same.

When he was a member of the Hai clan, he betrayed the Hai clan. Beside Jiang Wang, he betrayed Jiang Wang. As a ghost, he could betray ghosts. As a dragon, he could betray dragons. So what's so special about betraying demons Is it not something that his old man Ao Kui could do

After years of interaction and countless power struggles, Jiang Wang understood Ao Kui too well!

Ao Kui's only reason for loyalty was that the benefits of loyalty far outweighed those of betrayal.

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

So after he had contact with the Seventh Hate Demon Lord, he immediately tried to get in touch with him again.

It's not that I'm bored and looking for trouble. It's just that if we absolutely have to find an insider within the demon clan, Ao Kui has more experience being an insider than Qi Hate Demon Lord. When it comes to "treachery," Gui Long Demon Lord is much more reliable than Qi Hate Demon Lord.

At this moment, the demon ape grew four arms. Its two palms pressed together in front of its body, baring its teeth and closing its eyes. Half was compassionate, half ferocious.

This looks like a HTML tag that is not closed properly. It should be something like:

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

But the other two arms were spread wide, muscles like hills, pushing their palms horizontally across the peaks.

Boom boom boom—

One cannot approach the peak of ten thousand zhang.

The Demon Ape bears the mountain, and the mountain does not move forward!

Shu Wei Jun ignored the martial arts true form, holding up the sky-high peak. With both hands, he removed the mountain shadows and clasped together. He grabbed the Chang Xiang Si (Sword) and lifted it high, causing it to pass over his shoulder while maintaining a sword-holding stance. Finally, with a sharp kick of his knee, he struck!

"Heartwarming!"

Having reached the realm of Shu Wei-jun, one has already returned to simplicity and genuineness, with great skill seemingly effortless. His attacks are extremely concise, yet every opening and closing reveals boundless power.

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

This knee strike, as if it had shattered the heavens of this world, caused a dark hole-like shadow to appear in the sky.

Bang bang!

Every onlooker of this battle felt their heart skip a beat!

If Shu Wei Jun had any unexpected attacks, after this knee strike, all the spectators present, even those watching from below, would have their hearts burst and die. The realm of the gods is not one where you can survive unscathed; it's either death or severe injury.

At the moment when almost all hearts had stopped beating, a brilliant crimson light blossomed in Jiang Wang's chest. In this heart-wrenching collision, he remained unyielding.

Jiang Wang's sword was held between Shu Wei-Jun's hands, poised against his shoulder. Shu Wei-Jun lifted his knee and rammed it into Jiang Wang's chest, producing the echoing clang of an old monk striking a bell.

>

The cast-iron knees, obstructed by the crimson light of the heart, were forced to recoil.

Before Shu Wei-jun could make another move, Jiang Wang suddenly bowed his head.

A header, a headbutt!

Perhaps because of the summoning of the ape demon, he also showed a bit of savagery at this moment.

His physical body wasn't strong enough compared to Shu Wei-jun, even with the enhancements of the Three Treasures and Four Awakenings techniques. His physical strength was still lacking. This was a case of "harming the enemy by 800 while losing oneself by 1000."

Shu Wei Jun's forehead had a sunken area, while Jiang Wang's skull emitted a cracking sound.

The disparity in physical strength was already very apparent, but he gritted his teeth and slammed his head out again!

Would Shu Weijun back down

Responded with a headbutt without hesitation.

Two top masters of the world today, fought with the style of a street brawl.

Just as the two heads were about to collide again, a burst of golden light suddenly erupted from Jiang Wang's forehead—it seemed as if his head had transformed into one forged from pure gold, like a golden statue!

>

The undying brilliance of the crimson heart, like the rising sun leaping between two mountains.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!

Extreme mental power, making this head indestructible.

Shu Wei Jun's skull, which had been covered in unknown runes for who knows how long, suddenly cracked open!

>

Blood flowed freely, staining his face instantly. White mixed with red in the middle.

This feeling... it's like two people agreed to bump heads, but one put on a helmet of iron while the other pulled out a stone.

In the end, the undying crimson heart surpasses even the rune skull in its value.

Jiang Wang didn't say a word and smashed his head again!

His actions were so brutal, yet his expression remained so calm, it felt like he was about to kill Shu Weijun right there.

Shuyu Jun's entire skull was sunken in by half.

The spatial rift around him also released at this moment, forming a small teleportation array. In an instant, he broke free from the constraint and vanished.

Jiang Wang looked down from the air. A wound on his forehead was clearly visible, real blood dripping from it. He gazed down upon...

Shu Wei Jun stood wobbly on his feet.

He grinned through the pain, making no attempt to hide it, but his aura was rising.

He could have broken through to the path of transcendence, but he insisted on fighting within the confines of the twenty-sixth heaven of martial arts. This was an absolutely fair fight, a clash within the realm of true understanding. He only sought absolute truth in the result, regardless of what that result might be.

"Master Shu, shall we continue" asked Jiang Wang.

"Why not" Shu Wei-jun grinned. "The Mohists have lost more than once or twice these past years. Losing isn't scary, what's scary is the lack of courage to stand up straight. I want to show them—even an old man like me, even a student of the Mohist school like myself, at one thousand and thirty-seven years old, I can still get up, I can still fight!"Qing Huo Heng to report had arrived.Here is your translated text:Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!Jiang Wang listened intently to the intel, but remained noncommittal....
