529: Chapter 186 Legacy_1 529: Chapter 186 Legacy_1 Jiang Wang took the lead in establishing the Battlefield of Spirits.
The young man in the splendid robe had two choices: one was to disregard everything and see if he could crush Jiang Wang first, or if his spirit would be shattered by Jiang Wang.
The second was to confront the other battlefield at the sa ti.
Perhaps out of confidence, or perhaps due to the requirent for a perfect victory, he chose the latter.
This choice cannot be said to be wrong.
Because neither could be certain which battlefield would conclude first.
Jiang Wang was willing to gamble; he was not, and that was all there was to it.
During the fleeting mont when Jiang Wang decisively plunged in with his sword, he also swiftly cleared away the Divine Soul Flower Sea that Jiang Wang had left in his Tongtian Palace.
If only he were a breath faster, then the outco might still be undecided.
Unfortunately, there was not that one breath of ti.
“I want to ask, why did I lose?”
The young man in the splendid robe looked at Jiang Wang and asked.
It must be said, although the youth seed like an arrogant person before, this question…
was so pure.
Everyone was a rival; who would indulge in a deep conversation?
But for so reason, perhaps it was the genuine and unpretentious confusion in his eyes, it was quite endearing.
Indeed, objectively speaking, his strength was not inferior to Jiang Wang’s in any aspect.
Jiang Wang thought for a mont and said, “Actually, I’d like to ask you first.
When I cast the Divine Soul Flower Sea in your Tongtian Palace, you seed to be stunned for a mont.
May I ask why?”
The young man in the splendid robe shook his head: “I don’t want to say.”
Uh…
Is this the attitude of soone seeking advice?
Jiang Wang sheathed his sword.
Longing did not reflect into the Taixu Illusion Realm; this ordinary weapon within the Taixu Illusion Realm was not quite suitable and could not maximize the use of his swordsmanship.
However, if they were to battle in reality, given the young man’s appearance, which clearly showed the bearing of a noble house, the treasures and Magic Artifacts he could utilize were certainly even more nurous.
Jiang Wang shook his head, not minding the youth’s attitude, and directly asked, “Have you ever encountered danger?
I an, the kind that could truly be deadly.”
The young man in the splendid robe thought for a while and said, “Never.”
“It seems you co from a very prominent family and you’re much cherished,” Jiang Wang casually analyzed.
“This has nothing to do with our victory or defeat.” He was quite wary.
It was normal for scions of great families to keep their guard up, given the inevitable hangers-on.
Jiang Wang had now seen all sorts of people, but among the young masters he knew, none exhibited the brusqueness of the lad before him.
It was like those who took their elders’ words to heart and then tried to forcefully apply them, the type of youth who could easily offend others, very green.
Suddenly, Jiang Wang realized that his own ntality seed a bit too “mature,” even though he was hardly older than the youth before him.
He viewed him as if he were a child.
With this thought, he smiled and said, “What I an is, you may lack the experience of real combat.
I’m not referring to fighting in the Taixu Illusion Realm.
The battles here are very real, but after all, not reality.
Because here, you won’t truly die.”
The young man in the splendid robe appeared thoughtful.
This was a stubborn youth, as Jiang Wang had already discovered, so he felt compelled to add, “I’m not suggesting that you try your hand at life-and-death combat.
On the path of cultivation, the geniuses who perish are too nurous to count.
Your family background allows you to avoid danger, which is an absolute advantage.
Safe cultivation, advancing step by step, is the path that you, scions of great houses, should take.”
“I know,” the young man in the splendid robe nodded, “Thank you.”
Thereupon, Jiang Wang gestured with his right hand, signaling that he was free to leave the Discussion Platform.
Regardless of the man’s background, Jiang Wang really had no intention of ingratiating himself.
It was just that the youth had asked sincerely, and so he had responded in kind.
He didn’t mind making the conflicts at the Inner Mansion level in the Taixu Illusion Realm more challenging for himself.
Getting stronger was sothing that should always co from one’s own efforts, not from pulling others down.
“That…” The young man in the splendid robe hadn’t just left like that, instead asking sowhat awkwardly, “What’s your na?”
Probably it was Jiang Wang’s candid attitude that made him lower his guard.
He wanted to make a friend but lacked experience and didn’t know how to go about it, hence the abrupt question.
“Dugu Invincible,” Jiang Wang said.
“I’m not asking that, your real na,” the young man in the splendid robe said.
Jiang Wang replied offhandedly, “Zhang Linchuan.”
The young man in the splendid robe seed a bit annoyed, “If you don’t want to say it, forget it.”
Jiang Wang was sowhat taken aback; it was the first ti his use of Zhang Linchuan’s na to roam the world had been seen through.
Originally, it was indeed just an offhand response; although he was probably about the sa age as this youth, he was much more mature, and wouldn’t open his heart just from a few words.
Moreover, although the youth left an initial impression of arrogance and strength, he was likely very well-protected, and at heart, quite naive.
“Naive” also ant it should be quite easy to fool him.
Only, he hadn’t expected this naivety to accompany an actual sharpness, as the youth had seen through Jiang Wang’s perfunctory manner right away.
Jiang Wang, feeling helpless, pressed his forehead, “How should I put this, we are in the Taixu Illusion Realm, you know?
In the real world, nobody knows who anyone is; revealing one’s true identity is quite risky.
We’ve only fought twice, and can hardly be considered acquainted…
Do you understand what I’m saying?”
The youth in the magnificent robe had little life experience and wasn’t worldly-wise, but he was undoubtedly very clever.
Upon hearing Jiang Wang say this, he imdiately replied, “Sorry, it was impolite of ; I forgot to introduce myself first.
I just forgot this is the Taixu Illusion Realm where nobody knows …”
Ah, so in the real world, isn’t there anyone who doesn’t know him?
Jiang Wang suddenly thought of the ti when he hadn’t known Zhongxuan Sheng for long, and Zhongxuan had accidentally used a Heavy Technique in battle, insisting on secrecy.
He too was exceedingly confident of his own reputation.
It was as if he carried an air of “who in the world doesn’t know .”
These scions of noble families…
But then again, being born into a noble family does give one the capital for pride.
“My na is Zuo Guangshu,” said the youth in the magnificent robe.
“Ah, hello, I’ve long admired you, it’s a pleasure to et you,” Jiang Wang said, his mouth spitting out a rather perfunctory string of niceties.
But then he reacted and inquired tentatively, “Do you know…
Zuo Guanglie?”
Zuo Guangshu’s expression suddenly turned cold, “It seems he is indeed very famous.”
“So, what is your relationship with him, if you don’t mind asking?” Jiang Wang asked.
Zuo Guanglie was soone he couldn’t avoid on his path of cultivation; although the man had died, the radiance he left behind still helped illuminate Jiang Wang’s path forward.
“He is my elder brother.
That’s all there is to it,” Zuo Guangshu replied coolly, his deanor very detached.
He likely only answered because his upbringing dictated it.
“And you two?
Friends?
Enemies?”
Jiang Wang’s heart stirred slightly.
He probably understood why Zuo Guangshu had paused for a mont upon seeing the Divine Soul Flower Sea in Tongtian Palace.
The “Fla Flower” Dao Technique was indeed a genius creation of Zuo Guanglie, and his own Divine Soul Flower Sea was basically built upon the Fla Flower concept.
Needless to say, Zuo Guangshu would recognize it.
However…
“Elder brother” and “That’s all there is to it” seed incongruous.
The relationship between the two brothers didn’t seem too good.
“Of course not enemies; I hold him in high esteem,” Jiang Wang stated honestly, “My na is Jiang Wang.”
“Is that so?” Zuo Guangshu said icily, “It’s a pity I no longer wish to make your acquaintance.”
It seed that he particularly minded that Jiang Wang had introduced himself only after learning of Zuo Guangshu’s relation to Zuo Guanglie; his rare inclination to forge a friendship seed to have fizzled out.
Without further ado, he left.
The Discussion Platform reford, separating the place of swords into individual platforms again, sending both of them back.
Jiang Wang was stunned for a mont; he wasn’t upset by Zuo Guangshu’s impoliteness.
The youth was just, well, a bit childish and probably didn’t harbor any bad intentions.
He just…
suddenly rembered the Channel-opening Pill he had taken.
That Channel-opening Pill which Zhao Rucheng had said was very rare.
Even soone as powerful as Zuo Guanglie, whose soul had perished and flesh turned to mud, whose every possession had shattered, had left behind one single pill intact.
Could it be that a pill was more durable and less easily destroyed than those Magic Artifacts and treasures?
The only explanation was that in the last monts of his life, Zuo Guanglie had instinctively protected it.
Uncovering the flesh of Zuo Guanglie that blocked the broken bottle’s mouth and seeing that Channel-opening Pill – that scene was still so vivid in his mind.
That was the ti he had seized control of his fate once again.
And that Channel-opening Pill that Zuo Guanglie had strived to preserve with the last of his energy, as his life faded…
Was it ant for…
the youth he had just encountered?
