about Longmian. Several extraordinary cultivators from the Four Seas Merchant Alliance also died at Bai Gu Dao's hands, but several martial artists survived.To be frank, the Four Seas Merchant Allian...Random Recommendation:

Cao Jie, who was praised by Emperor Qi as "the best general in the world," believed that in his lifetime of warfare, he had only done two things —
Let's go get the win with my brothers, let's bring it home.
Jing Guo's determination for this action is too great, and their preparations are too thorough.
Beginning as ripples on a green lotus leaf, once it gathers momentum, it reaches the heavens!
It's no wonder they dare to wait for others to react.
No wonder he was allowed to open the ancient celestial roads and lead his troops to seek glory.
Even the esteemed Lord Lingchen made an appearance, and projections of the sacred lands of Penglai Island appeared as well.
Who could possibly outbid the people of Jingguo in this situation
Even a single bird feather or fish scale is subject to the approval of those from Jing Guo.
In the current situation, if someone from Qi truly wants a share of the pie, I'm afraid even the Qi prince would have to come personally. They couldn't possibly do without Jiang Mengxiong, and at least four divisions of troops would be needed - and this hastily assembled army, glimpsed for just a moment, also has to consider whether it is another long-laid trap.
Who would have thought that a mere, seemingly ordinary turtle of the Void Realm could serve as a catalyst, spanning time and space to summon the might of the Overlord
Li Longchuan "escorted" the giant turtle, and when the information came back, everyone knew it was that big turtle from the divinely blessed country. But no one knew what event it could be the starting point of — at the time, the idea was simply to release the turtle into the sea and cultivate a war force through its Taoist essence.
Who could have imagined that the Myriad Realms Battlefield, which had spanned for hundreds of thousands of years between two races, swallowing countless warriors' blood and flesh, would be crossed by people from the Jing State.
This is a truly crucial step, one that shatters common sense and breaks through imagination.
Cao Jie even now can't figure out how this ancient Heavenly Path, spanning both time and space with nearly limitless power capacity, was laid out—he understands the basic principle to some degree, but how exactly this glorious path is realized, how each checkpoint along the way is crossed...it's simply too complex a question.
The people of Jing Guo would certainly not be willing to kindly explain things. They could only wait until after this battle, gather more information, and then analyze it further.
The Hai clan controlled the Misty Realm, like holding a fortress on a dangerous pass. But when the ancient Heavenly Road was opened in the middle ages, it became as smooth as a plain. The Jing Guo people’s power was directly transported from Tianjing City to Penglai Island and then into the Cang Sea. Not only did this surprise the Hai clan, but the Qi people were caught off guard as well. Their once-powerful maritime hegemony suddenly had a gaping hole torn through it.
Seeing that the sea was about to dry up, the Dragon King of the East China Sea and Lingchen True Monarch clashed there frantically. "To annihilate the world together," Cao Jie, without hesitation, led his army back home.

As the highest-ranking commander of the Qi army currently overseas, he was very clear-headed and no longer considered "seeking glory" but rather "limiting losses."
Sea control is divided, but how can we try to lessen the division
When the Drought Demon leaped back to the nearshore, seeing Dong Tiansi Song Huai standing beside Ye Hanyu and waving at this side on Tainya Stage, Cao Jie's heart was not surprised at all!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The people of Jing have not made any major moves for many years. The war with Mu a few years ago was more of a reactive response to a challenge. This time, with the achievement of permanently eliminating the sea threat, Jing must squeeze every bit of value out of victory and maximize the expansion of its achievements.
As for the sea beyond the horizon, that's already within Jing's grasp. Whether it's deploying troops directly to the sea, building islands there, or even temporarily relocating Penglai Island, ultimately, it will be Jing's land. No matter whether the Dragon King of the East Sea lives or leaves, the sea beyond the horizon will become nothing but a blank sheet of paper on Ji Fengzhou's desk, ready for him to draw upon.
Even if the South China Sea were to die and cease producing any resources, land could still be created out of thin air to serve as a military stronghold and deter foreign powers.
As for the state of Jing, this coastal area also provides a more than suitable entry point — the Diu Hailou!
Regardless of how the Fishing Sea Tower remained silent during the Jingguo's Suppression of the Sea event, whether it was the tower master leaving the island or the first disciple, Zhu Biqiong, closing herself off in seclusion. The arrangements made by True Monarch Shen before his death pushed forward the completion of the Plan for Suppressing the Sea. Today, Jingguo is able to quell the Cang Hai and forever eliminate the threat from the sea. How can one not credit the Fishing Sea Tower's contribution How can one not reward their meritorious deeds
Jing Guo, with the vast Cang Hai Sea as its foundation, has the potential to significantly expand its influence over the nearby island chain. In this process, supporting the resurgence of Diu Hai Lou and challenging Qi Ren's dominance in the maritime discourse would be a highly feasible strategy.
Is this the opportunity that Diaohailou has been waiting for by keeping a low profile these past few years
What is Dongtianshi doing at Tianya Stage
It's probably because they are afraid that the Diaohailou might be damaged by the aftershocks, or that powerful people from Diaohailou might get lost and disappear accidentally!
It's still the same saying: In times of war against outsiders, everyone unites as one, regardless of their country or clan. After all, we are all sailing on the same boat in this vast tide of humanity.
>
Behind closed doors, there's still a distinction between high and low. After all, the position of the emperor is only one.
Even Cao Jie, with his ability to see things from an outsider's perspective, couldn't imagine any way for the Hai Clan to survive in this situation. But in the "Post-Hai Clan Era," Qi State undoubtedly faced a stronger opponent at sea... How should they respond
After chatting with Dong Tiansi about poetry and philosophy for a long time, Ye Hanyu was no longer interested. However, she didn't leave until Cao Jie returned. She exchanged glances with Cao Jie and quietly slipped away.
The Xia Shi army stationed on Huai Island and the Tian Fu army stationed on Jue Ming Island, once a conflict arises, these preparations are still insufficient. After years of maritime operations by the State of Qi, it should be reflected at this time - take advantage of the fact that the war in the East China Sea has not yet ended.
Song Huai seemed indifferent to Ye Hanzhui's departure, as if he hadn't been the one who had kept her there in the first place. He only said to Cao Jie, "The Sea of Cang is turbulent, this old man won't add to the commotion."
He looked at Cao Jie's state and said righteously: “To prevent the Sea Race from being desperate and attacking the coastal areas, I shall stay here and protect the world!”
"Indeed, you are a worthy Dongtian Master!" Cao Jie clapped his hands in admiration. "To have guarded the Heavenly Gate so well, with you here, Hai Men has nothing to fear! Even Xia Shi Town at the edge of the world dares to request your return, to bolster my resolve and give me courage!"
If we trace back history, the Tian Shi were indeed the "gatekeepers." But to truly consider the Four Great Tian Shi as "gatekeepers" takes real courage.
Cao Jie was quite brave.
Song Huai waved his hand: "I, the old man of Haimen Island, will not go. When you were young, I held you in my arms. You don't know what kind of person I am - this life is responsible and venturesome, never willing to be inferior to others. Today, this old man stands here at the edge of the world, not taking a single step back. Just watch that sea tribe, how much ability do they have, dare to violate my sea borders!"
The good thing about living long is that you can get away with acting your age. Who knows if you were even held as a child
Cao Jie raised his eyes to look ahead. Lou Yue still controlled the mixed cave, standing high in the sky with his back to Tiangai Platform and facing the vast sea.
Six gigantic Nine-Descendant Bloodline Beasts stood before him. After being pushed to their absolute zenith, they had dried up completely, leaving only their shells—their power had been consumed by the Eternal Sky Tablet, becoming a certain inscription on its surface.
The dried-up shell, like six islands floating in the air.
Around this time, the great figure strode forward, his robe billowing, and he wore boots that trod on clouds as he headed towards the Ancient Celestial Path. He hadn't been able to experience a battle that would elevate his being, but observing Cang Hai's death up close had some benefits for his cultivation.
He's so composed!
And indeed, everything is under control.
“As for how the War of the Cang Hai would end, I’ve thought about it many times, and the Bing Shi Tang has also simulated it countless times.” Cao Jie said with a touch of emotion: “I never expected it to come to this. The world is not solely controlled by Qi, I must ponder this over and over again!”
Song Huai said with interest, "Duke Di's expression seems to be very wronged."
Cao Jie said expressionlessly, "Cao is just a little bit bitter-looking."
Song Huai gave a knowing smile and said, "Cao Shuaifu has worked hard on his expedition to the East China Sea. Go rest for a while. With this old man here, everything will be fine."
The character "lost" was only halfway through being spoken when it suddenly shook violently, like a jade stone dropped to the ground and shattered into pieces!
The ground is shaking.
The entire Waishima shook.
This largest island near the coast, capable of housing tens of millions of military and civilians, was more stable than ever after reconstruction. But at this moment, it was shaking wildly. Like an egg frying in a pan, about to be flipped out of the sea!
Click!
The gigantic statue of the Dragon-Taming Fisherman, steeped in incense and imbued with divine power, had its enormous, stone-carved fishing rod broken. The severed half snapped in the wind and fell into the sea, swallowed by the churning waves. The waves crashed against the shore.
Looking far away, waves crash and churn, the islands all sway!
It turns out that it wasn't just Haidong Island that was shaking, but the entire near sea...
Cao Jie suddenly turned his head, his face filled with alarm.
It's not just the offshore islands.

But the entire terrestrial world, is what the sea tribe calls "Shenlu"!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
From the desolate Arctic tombs to the ruins of war in the south, from the snowy plains to the azure sea in the east... The entire world is trembling.
There was no earth-shattering cataclysm. The present reality is founded upon an utterly unshakeable bedrock, making its destruction impossible. What this world experiences now is not destruction, but rather trembling.
Perhaps to most, this is just like a bumpy ride in a carriage. But the entire world is on a bump! This runaway carriage, where will it be headed next
This... This is a shocking change unprecedented in history!
This world is not one that can be destroyed at will.
The present world is the center of all heavens and realms, enduring countless calamities and existing eternally. Especially after the new dawn of Taoism and the signing of the agreement by transcendents, at most, the power of the present world's limit has been circulating here, ever since when has there been such a stir
Looking back at the past and forward to the future, counting all the realms and regions, in this current era, there are only a few things that can truly shake the world.
For example... that "source of all waters," the "ancestral river of the present world"!
>
In the quiet courtyard of Chang Guo, Jiang Wang, who bought stories over wine at night and locked himself in to study during the day, drew his sword in an instant, rising like a towering pine. The untrimmed weeds in the entire courtyard straightened instantly, reaching towards the heavens as if brandishing swords against the sky.
The sky is clear of clouds, and thousands upon thousands of sunbeams pierce through like swords.
His mind was wholly focused on resisting Heaven's Will, his sharpness almost unyielding, his killing power unparalleled in the world!
He, deeply immersed in the state of being one with heaven and earth, sensed the changes in the river before anyone else.
"The changes of heaven and earth are all felt by the Heavenly Dao," especially rivers like this, which stretch across time. These ancient water lineages truly touch upon the fundamental reality of the world and have the power to alter fate. Their movements first astound mortals!
Heaven's Way is an extremely complex and mysterious "thing." Jiang Wang, even to this day, doesn't know what Heaven's Way truly "requires."
As for the "requirements" of Heaven, they are almost immeasurable. Jiang Wang couldn't figure out what principles drove Heaven to act upon humans. He could only passively feel them and then choose to accept, ignore, or resist.
> In theory, a great river undergoing change, shaking the heavens and earth, should be driven by Heaven to suppress it and restore the existing order. But Heaven did not.
Or, perhaps Heaven would help him liberate the Chang He River, releasing the "natural" state of the Zu He River. But there was also no sign of that happening.
Although Heaven responded by reflecting the changes in the river, awakening him during his studies, Heaven itself seemed indifferent to this matter.
Jiang Wang's hand twitched on his sword hilt. It was purely because he still hadn't completely extinguished the sliver of emotion within him - a tremor in the long river, causing the heavens and earth to shake. If the long river broke its banks, if it overturned the nine towns, then the people on both sides of the river would inevitably suffer casualties beyond counting. Since he could feel it, he couldn't just ignore it.
But a moment later, he sat down again.
He glanced thoughtfully at the courtyard next door—in that courtyard, the current owner of Dìng Hǎilóu, Chen Zhìtāo, was closing the courtyard gate and sitting alone under a tree, deep in thought about the possibility of sealing away his human form the next day.
Jiang Wang loosened his grip on the sword and picked up his book again, as if speaking to himself or explaining something: "The river never intended to swallow people."

Emotion told him that he might as well go take a look. Although he didn't feel the destructive intent of the Long River through Heavenly Dao, it was still such a major event that shook heaven and earth! Just in case, it would be better to go have a look and do what he could.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But reason told him it was pointless. The river couldn't flood, and the people on either bank were in no danger. Whether he went or not made no difference.
He felt a pang of concern for the innocent people on both sides of the river, deep within his heart. It was like a stone dropped into the sea, sinking rapidly and gradually disappearing.
Perhaps the end of the heavens' people is "immobility."
At this very moment, the great river is surging with fury, churning for millions of miles as towering waves rise into the sky. The Nine-Town Stone Bridge, spanning across the river and suppressing the dragon veins at its ends, rumbles ominously under the assault, as if the heavens themselves are collapsing. The floodwaters engulf both banks, shaking the very foundation of Shenlu.

After the death of the Six Friends of Jingtian, he took charge of the Jingtian Mansion representing the State of Jing, responsible for monitoring the water levels of the Yellow River and Long River sections. He was a once fierce war general who later became a virtuous man through cultivation—Chou Tie.

It is said to be "taking off one's armor and returning to the fields," but in fact, it is serving the country with even more freedom. For many years, I have done a lot of dirty and tiring jobs that cannot be openly recorded, and I am often criticized by people.
This real-life figure stood like an iron tower, with a powerful physique and a majestic bearing. He held a measuring instrument for water levels in his hand and stood on the north bank of the Changhe River, but he dared not approach the surging waves even a fraction!
Check the water level
The water level of the Yellow River has risen to alarming heights!
It is still being suppressed by the nine towns. Once it breaks free from the riverbed and floods both banks, the consequences would be unimaginable.
South Heavenly Master, Ying Jiang Hong, arrived at the Chang River immediately. Standing alone on the Stone Bridge in the Seventh Town, he used his supreme divine powers to suppress the raging waves on both sides of the bridge, but he could only manage a stalemate. The Imperial Guards' formation of Jingguo responded accordingly, barely protecting the central empire's territory and unable to fully defend the middle domain's waterfronts.
It's not just that real people hate iron so much. It's not just that the Southern Heavenly Master is powerless here.
On the southern bank of the Changhe River, Emperor Wei Xuanche of the Great Wei Dynasty, adorned in his ceremonial robes, took command personally. He set sail in the imperial boat inscribed with "Imperial Water Craft of the Great Wei Emperor," mobilizing the entire nation's might to hold back the surging waters. Despite their Herculean effort, they were unable to quell the tempestuous waves!
At that time, Emperor Wei Ming took this very boat to lead the great Wei water fleet on a tour of the Yangtze River, showing the world the power of the Wei state. This led to the later "Meeting of Emperors of Jing and Wei."
Now that this boat has returned to the long river, the long river is no longer as peaceful as it used to be.
The mighty waves did not reflect the light, and even the Emperor's vessel rocked precariously.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Amidst the resounding drums and surging waves, Wei Xuanche stood alone at the prow of his boat, overlooking the raging sea. His voice, thick with anger like thunder, boomed: "Emperor Jing should bear the consequences!"
After the opening of martial arts, Wei State did indeed rise to power. Wei Xuanche even dared to publicly accuse the Emperor of Great Jing!

Ying Jiang Hong responded loudly on the bridge: "Just like a poisonous sore, it's better to remove it early. The longer it lingers, the more people will die from the illness!"
Longmen Academy, one of the Four Great Academies in the world, was built beside Guanhetai and has always taken it upon itself to oversee the river. The history of guarding the Grand River is far longer than that of Jingguo.
At the time of the incident,院長 Yao Fu was writing in his study.
Xu Xiangqian stood beside him, his shiny forehead gleaming. Every stroke of the brush was met with a word of praise from him. His hands were constantly busy, diligently grinding ink.
Zi Shu was sprawled in an unladylike posture, a book lay open across her face, and the back of her head was pressed against the chair back, fast asleep.
As the saying goes, "Summer fatigue and autumn weariness are not what I desire."
With her face expressionless, she was a fine pen, a new book, and all her focus was on reading and taking notes. Whenever there was a good new book published in the literary world, she would be the first to buy it and savor it. Zishou's breathing, Xu Xiangqian's attentiveness, and the sound of the dean's pen scratching on paper—none of it could distract her. In this moment, she was like someone in a different realm, truly embodying the phrase "hearing nothing outside."

Song Guo's Yin Wenhua stood alone outside the door, unwilling to go in, unable to bear it. How could Xu Gaogen be so natural He really treats this place as his home! Seeing him wandering around Longmen Academy every day, he always sees him when he comes back... He wasn't from Qingya Academy, was he!

It read: "The first spring waters of the river——"
Just as he was halfway through writing, Yao Fu tossed aside his wolf's hair brush and snatched the ancient sword Minggu from Yin Wenhua's side. He rushed out.
Inside and outside the house, everyone was shocked. No one knew what had happened. The director hadn't drawn his sword in many years!
But Yao Fu at this time, had already directly rushed into the Chang River.
The surging waves, towering like white dragons.
Yao Fu was as light as a mayfly, yet in his simple clothes and with his sword raised, he walked the "Dragon's Spine," effortlessly cleaving raging torrents and hacking through surging floods.
Though he was a peerless swordsman, his sword qi reaching thousands of miles with every swing, he could not exhaust or sever this boundless river of ancestral history!
The twenty-four solar terms encompass all things, like a vast river surging forward, yet they exist beyond the realm of "all things."
But seeing the vast expanse of tides surging for ten thousand miles, one wave towering like another, it seemed as if there was no end in sight.
Nine bridges, seemingly eternal, cast doubt on the very concept of "eternity" at this moment.
The Guanhetai, a platform renowned as "the number one in the world" and said to have suppressed eons, burst into splendor. However, above the magnificent and towering Guanhetai, dark clouds shrouded the sky. The tide of black clouds was so thick that not a ray of sunlight could penetrate, with thunder rolling like waves across the sea, and the thunderous sea pouring over the high platform.
The long river had been peaceful for too long, so long that people had almost forgotten its terror.
Back in ancient times, it was a battlefield where powerful water demons clashed. Even after the Dragon Palace established its dominance, it couldn't suppress all of them.
At that time, it often ravaged both sides, and the ancient heavens had to be summoned to suppress it. Every time, a great price was paid.
...but people have forgotten why it has been able to behave so peacefully for so many years!
When it awakens today like a furious dragon, clashing with heaven and earth, shaking the heavens...
Everything, everything points to one thing—
Having sat upon the Long River for tens of thousands of years, Lie Shan Ren Huang's most trusted comrade, the highest banner of the aquatic race in the present world, a steadfast ally of humanity... Ao Shu Yi, the Dragon King of the Long River, has betrayed!
There is no body of water in the world that can compare to, or be as important as, the Yangtze River.
In the ancient times, the dragon clan ruled over the great river, existing almost independently of the demon celestial court. In the prehistoric and ancient eras, the dragon clan used the great river to divide the world and shared the highest authority in the mortal realm with the human race. Even today, after the new era of Taoism dawned, it continues to nurture countless billions of beings.
"Shanhe," "shanhe," was used to refer to "the world." In the initial creation of this term, "mountain" referred to the collapsed "Mount Buzhou," and "river" referred to the ever-flowing "Yangtze River"!
This river embodies the meaning of "river." It is how Cangjie, the legendary creator of Chinese characters, originally defined the character for "river."
>
When it flips over in Shenlu, as if trying to break free from the mortal world, it is truly shaking the foundation of reality.
The whole universe should be able to hear the sound of waves!
Dong Tian Shi, what kind of person would he be to not even be able to finish a sentence, let alone have his voice broken and scattered He wouldn't even blink if a mountain collapsed before him. It was precisely because he was the first to realize the gravity of the situation that he reacted this way.
He gazed back towards the mainland from Tianya Platform, his astonishment momentarily leaving him speechless: "How dare he How could he!"
Though the human race has never relaxed its defenses against Ao Shu Yi for tens of thousands of years.
There has always been a voice saying, "Those who are not of my race must have different hearts," claiming that this old Dragon Lord "betrayed the Dragon Emperor in the past, and there is no telling if he will betray humans one day" and accusing him of having " ulterior motives."
But the day actually came, still so unexpected!
After all, it's been many years since Ao Shuyi joined the human camp and helped Emperor Lieshan against Emperor Xi Hunlong. She became a symbol of division within the Water Tribe. It's so long ago that we have to use "ten thousand years" as a unit of time. Even if we list the lifespan of the strongest figures at their peak, they would all live for tens of thousands of years!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Over this long stretch of time, the aquatic beings remaining in Shenlu have been constantly suppressed and divided, until the celestial water veins were shattered and could no longer be considered a whole. Instead, they were divided by nation, such as the Yonghuo Water Clan, the Zhuangguo Water Clan... there are no independent water clans in the world!
>
In the ceaseless scrutiny and vigilance of humankind, the authority of the Long River Dragon Palace was gradually eroded, dwindling to nothing. The Long River Dragon Palace stood empty. Sitting on the throne of the Dragon King, one often only heard the echo of footsteps in the vast hall.
All of this, Ao Shuyi, as a transcender, silently endured.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
From the true ruler of all water creatures, the Long River King, to a mere symbolic figure, only invited to sit on the viewing platform at each Yellow River Conference... This process shows almost no sign of Ao Shu's resistance.
He clapped His hands, He exclaimed in praise, He cheered for the human race's prodigy.
The "Dragon Palace Banquet," a grand feast that once honored heroes from all walks of life and showcased the influence of the Dragon Clan, had been dormant for many years. Now, it was finally time to open its doors again—though without a single aquatic being in attendance, and few truly cared!
He accepted it all.
He had repeatedly accepted what should have been directly received.
Why is it suddenly not accepting it today
