Chapter 57: Eternal Garrison of Mountains and Rivers
oice. If Ji Cheng could still command the battle, such a thing would definitely not happen.After all, it did happen.The Qi army naturally wouldn't let them get away, chasing after them with swords dra...The long river is like a dragon, just a simple flick of its tail, and all the methods used on it, such as Emperor's boat, Jade Mountain, and Southern Heavenly Master... are all like water droplets splashing.
The Nine Nether River, which has been suppressing the Long River for tens of thousands of years, seems to be eternally powerful.
It turns out that it wasn't firmly rooted on both sides of the river bank, but could actually be lifted!
Before Ao Shuyi did this... no one knew.
Many people think that things that will never change, may just not have come to the time to change. Nothing lasts forever!
At this time, the long river surged for thousands of miles, and the divine land trembled.
As if a mountain had been uprooted and water drained from its veins, all heavens and realms could sense the tremors of this world.

Before the divine thunderbolt has been unleashed, forces from all directions are already restless.
The next moment, there was a dragon's roar from heaven and earth!
This voice did not originate from the river, nor from the Dragon King.
Listen carefully, it's not one sound, but two.
One high-pitched and one low, one light and one heavy, two contradictory dragon roars blended together harmoniously. One pursued the other, opposing yet symphonically intertwined.

From that land of Zhongzhou, a banner suddenly rose!
It was as if a piece of heaven had been torn away.
The flag flutters proudly in the fierce wind. On its surface, two intertwined black and white dragons are embroidered, their bodies forming a thread that divides the flag into halves, creating the mysterious and profound form of the Two Instruments. When this banner is fully unfurled, the sky itself is transformed by it.
If one were to look up at this time, they would see the sun and moon blurring, the heavens confused. In fact, the sky was divided into two layers, one chaotic and one clear, with each encompassing the other.
This is not the azure sky nor the yellow sky, but the "Central Two Instrument Heaven".
It encompasses everything, it is the beginning of all things. Even the earth-shattering waves of a great river are contained beneath this sky, not rolling beyond its expanse.
>
At this time, unfurling was the Imperial banner of the Great Jing Empire, the Sky-Earth Dragon Banner!
Only after this flag was raised did an extremely grand voice sound—
"Stubborn as a mule!!!"
With a deafening roar, the sound of the river was drowned out. The eight winds howled, and azure lightning split the sky!
He who speaks is Da Jing's emperor, Ji Fengzhou!
Here's the translation:

His voice, which originally echoed within the Eternal Stele overlooking the Cang Sea, now reverberated through Tianjing City, resounding across both banks of the Chang River!
With every utterance, the two poles of heaven would churn, erasing the lingering ripples of the tumultuous divine land. He had escaped the turbulent sea and now stood against the mighty River Dragon King, the entire nation rallying behind him.
“May the mountains stand forever, and may the land enjoy eternal peace!”
"May the year be prosperous and harmonious, and may the sun and moon shine brightly!"
"I, the Heavenly Emperor of the Central Empire, in the year 3929 of the Dao calendar—for the sake of all living beings under Heaven, I request the arrival of the Sovereign's Imperial Treasure!"
Ji Fengzhou offered no quarter, returning immediately to attack. He used the power of the Changhe Yongzhen technique, seeking to summon the treasure left behind by the ancient Emperor Lieshan - a treasure said to belong to the emperor, yet also continuously offered and cherished by powerful human cultivators through generations. It held the hopes of humankind, embodying their triumphs and glorious history.

The power of this artifact has not diminished with time, but rather has surpassed that of the ancients.
Since everyone has been forced to withdraw from the vast ocean to deal with the flood, there is no need to make any concessions.
A mighty roar that resounds for thousands of miles.
And then suddenly there was the sound of a phoenix's cry!
The south half was crimson, the Shenxiao Phoenix flag fluttered proudly, its tail rainbow arched across the sky, fire burning red clouds, extremely dazzling. Bearing the sound of nobility from birth, Xiong Ji's voice echoed first within that blazing brilliance, saying——
>
"Emperor of the Great Chu, grant the imperial seal!"
The western sky was instantly filled with darkness, as if plunged into an endless night. Even the radiance of Jade Emperor Mountain was concealed, and even the phantom of the True Monarch of Purple Void vanished into the shadows. Only after the majestic voice of the Qin Emperor, who ruled with absolute authority and could decide everything with a single word, echoed throughout, did the outline of Jade Emperor Mountain slowly reappear in the night.
The Emperor Qin, Ying Zhao, spoke concisely, saying: "There should be such punishment!"
Ao Shu Yi surged like a vast river, rising to challenge the heavens and shaking the nine realms. She had completely shattered the facade of affection that spanned millions of years, reaching the very bottom line of humanity. This time, the Emperor's Son utilized the Imperial Artifact, no longer for containment but for annihilation!
Iron cavalry charged, swords and spears clashed! The Central Two-Yi Empress Heaven, for a moment, imprinted upon the heavens with a brilliance of countless stars. The voice of Emperor Tang Xuanjian of Jing Kingdom sounded like a lone rider, charging out from amongst those celestial stars. After countless clashes and temperings, he possessed an edge sharp enough to pierce through anything.
He said — "Cut it down!"
The founding of the State of Jing was built upon the corpses of the Shenchi water tribe. Emperor Tang Yu, the founder of Jing, rose to fame thanks to the efforts laid by King Shenchi. Since its establishment, the State of Jing has always held a more aggressive stance towards the Dragon Palace compared to other nations.
Once again, the eagle's cry echoed through the vast expanse of the sky, unveiling a boundless azure sea and scattering rays of divine splendor.
The voice of the Great She-Emperor, Helan Shanhai, echoed in the azure sky, becoming more distant, wider than the heavens and nobler than divinity. Her voice boomed: "Thus it shall be decided!"
Actually, there's nothing much to debate about this. Ao Shu Yi herself doesn't want to look back, and no one will let her go at this time.
We can't really let the old dragon be free and just wander off, right
Since the dawn of a new era, the world has undergone changes unlike any before. Visions and occurrences shift like a kaleidoscope, one after another, layering upon each other like strokes of vivid paint. The world transforms in countless ways, yet it remains firmly held within grasp.

The few kings who held the highest power of the human race, with a thought, could change the colors of heaven and earth. They could turn their hands and change things at will, like controlling the vast flow of humanity.

Finally, the eastern sky was filled with purple hues. The celestial lines crisscrossed like a chessboard. A voice belonging to Emperor Jiang Shu of the Great Qi dynasty echoed through it, uttering only one word:
"Grant it!"
This is the last piece of this game.
As the saying goes, one who has fallen into a position should have no regrets, for life and death are predetermined by fate.

Suddenly, the entire Divine Land was shrouded in stillness!
One large seal, descending from the heavens.
Its craftsmanship is unparalleled and unique throughout history.
Above is the nine dragons holding the sun, and below are the six harmonies of mountains and rivers.

It is not actually very large; compared to a river millions of miles long, it is simply insignificant rubble.
But the moment it appeared, the raging river, churning and turbulent like a furious storm, came to an abrupt halt. The violent waves were subdued, the surface becoming as smooth as a mirror, not even a ripple in sight! The vast river stretched for miles without a single wave, lying flat against the riverbed, lining up with the banks, like white soil, a silent plain!
As the six mighty emperors spoke, the ever-changing celestial phenomena transformed into vast swathes of luminous light, pouring into this imperial seal.
At this moment, it embodies the hegemony of six nations and the supreme power of the world. It is the pinnacle of the national system and almost represents the human tide of the contemporary era!
The waves Ao Shuyi stood on had already calmed, becoming a mountain sculpted by water.
Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
Frozen water, still mountains.
The Long River Dragon King, who stood atop the mountain peak, his form originally upright and transcending heaven and earth, in an instant returned to heaven and earth, to the mountain peak, and in an instant, hunched!
As if burdened beyond capacity, yet unable to bear it!
In this world, there are those who bear burdens beyond the capacity of even the transcendent.
His neck, however, was stiff and awkwardly erect, thrust upward. He kept his head raised in this way, gazing at the seal hanging high in the heavens.
“The Nine Dragons Embrace the Sun, Forever鎮山河 Seal…” He murmured with a laugh, his brilliant golden eyes flickering. “Back then, the fierce Shan clan had given me this seal, letting me play with it as I pleased. At that time, I believed that all things have spirits, and heaven and earth are one family; lineage is not a barrier. Now, He has left this seal behind, using this very seal to slap me, as a gift to me—He has probably never trusted me from the start!”
The Emperor of Lie Mountain once allowed Ao Shu to play with the Nine Dragons Holding the Sun, Eternal Protector of Mountains and Rivers Seal
This Ao Shu's words are too absurd, as if he has gone mad!
If Emperor Lieshan truly intended this, he was practically hinting at the next emperor! Regardless of whether Ao Shu'yi possesses the talent to rule the world, would it even be possible for a dragon to become the common ruler of all
And as for what Ao Shuyi inquired about, regarding the "trust" of Li Shan Ren Huang, perhaps it seemed even more ridiculous to the six hegemon kings.
Does this even count as a problem
How could the Human Emperor possibly completely trust a real dragon
As the emperor, how could he possibly risk the safety of his entire race to test whether Ao Shu's intentions were reliable
Even for emperors, they wouldn't bother testing human nature. They often eradicated any dangerous signs, let alone examine "dragon nature"!
No one paid heed to Ao Shuyi's mumbled words. That side, nine dragons held the sun, eternally guarding the mountain and river seal, ruthlessly pressing their mark.

Ao Shuyi's foot landed on the water-carved mountain, and a sound like ice cracking echoed out. In an instant, it shattered into fine dust!
And Ao Shu Yi's figure plummeted, falling into the fine dust, becoming like dust itself!
Boom boom boom boom!
>
Nine stone anchors gradually descend, once again shackling the river. The prisoners who had tasted freedom for a moment are returned to their cells.
Ao Shu Yi seemed to hear the river's mournful cry. But the river lay still, almost pressed against the riverbed, with no ripples or sound
"Hehehe..."
Ao Shu yi chuckled, bowing her head. She could barely lift it any longer; her back was stooped even more than before.
...I knew it would end up like this.
The emperor, known as "Lie Shan Shi," was invincible during his lifetime. How could Ao Shu resist the methods left behind by such a powerful figure
Moreover, nowadays is better than the past. The strength of humanity today is incomparable to that of the medieval period!

But the nine towns... had already been raised for a moment.
The Nine Towns, built by hand by the Lie Family, were lifted for a moment by me, Ao Shu Yi!
Click!
Ao Shu Yi abruptly raised his head! Because he exerted too much force, clashing with the suppressing power of the Nine Dragons Holding the Sun Eternal Mountain River Seal, his cervical vertebrae were shattered in the collision!
These are the bones of transcendents, originally unbreakable for ten thousand ages and capable of eternal immortality.
But he didn't want to bow his head any longer!
"Lieshan!"

Ao Shu Yi was already dishevelled, devoid of the majesty befitting an emperor. However, he roared at the heavens, appearing mad: "I have kept my word, honoured my pact, walked my path, and defended our shared ideals! Yet you failed to do so, you broke your promises to me! I know you are dead, I cannot blame you—"
His chest heaved violently, he gasped with rage and pain, and in his fury, a steel-knife-like sorrow pierced through him: "How could I not blame you!"
How can one not resent it
I treat you as my teacher, and regard you as my father. I have always been following you!
Boom!!!

At the westernmost edge of the great river, beyond the outline of Mount Yujing, there stood a towering phantom representing the virtue of Zhenjun Zi Xu - that of Grandmaster Dezheng. For an instant, the phantom's eyes flared! The eyes within the phantom, as if sketched by an invisible brush, suddenly appeared tangible. With strokes so vivid, they resembled purple heavenly thunder about to erupt!
The Jade Pure Dao Law, Yuanshi breaks through the False Extreme Light and extinguishes it!
From those eyes, like bolts of lightning, two straight beams shot out, piercing through time and space, landing on Ao Shuyi's ethereal form, as if trying to stop something.
>
But it's too late!
The furious roar of Emperor Tianzi Ji Fengzhou reverberated under the Qiankun You Long Flag— “You are courting death!”
But it was too late!
Jiǔzhèn was finally lifted for a moment.
So when Ao Shu roared to the heavens, before the near sea where the waves had gradually subsided, upon that vast and decaying ocean, people saw—
A golden dragon of immeasurable length appeared, transcending all boundaries. It ripped through time and space, soaring through the air before pouncing upon that radiant ancient celestial road, its serpentine body entwining with it. The golden light intermingled, as if they were one entity from the beginning.
With a hundred thousand elite soldiers under his command, Yu Que possessed almost invincible might. He swept across the land, looking down on all others, yet he was unable to stop it. Even when he realized what was happening, the golden dragon had already become inseparable from the ancient golden heavenly path.
The power of transcendents transcends all, even under the limits of the present world, they are all part of what is transcended. Of course, this includes Yu Que and his Dou-e army as well.
Ao Shu'yi's objective was this ancient celestial road!
This is a simple translation. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Above the long river, Ao Shu's eyelids were piled up into several folds, drooping down to just block Zong Dezheng's "Yuan Shi Po Wàng Ji Guang Mie," emitting a deafening bell-like clang. His eyelids were indeed pierced, but the golden light bursting out from the gaping holes was even more dazzling than before.
The world is vast, the heavens low.

Under Ji Fengzhou's initiative, the power of the Nine Dragons Holding the Sun Mountain River Seal was once again mobilized and stamped down.
Ao Shu Yi stubbornly refused to lower her head. She was as resolute as a chisel driven down, her skull serving as the point. It pierced through her neck, into her torso, sinking in almost halfway. There was no blood flowing yet, but the ageless and eternal, transcending all things, was clearly weakening.
>
Yet He was laughing hard!
His immortal body remains here, but His power has been sent to that bridge spanning time and space, transforming into a visible golden dragon. It coils around the Heavenly Grand Avenue constructed by the people of Jing Guo with all their might and resources. The "miracle" creation creaks and groans as it is bound!
>
The preparation needed to build this ancient celestial road is not merely about meticulously cultivating the nine offspring of the Bloodline Beast, though each one is a marvel of beast breeding. They are but a prelude. To fully summon the power of the Dragon Emperor's Nine Offspring, Jing Guo has spent decades preparing in an immensity of space and throughout a profound history, undertaking countless arrangements!
The Qi state suffered from the Qinghai plague, while Xia was devoured by Yang. The Qin state repaired the Yuquan Long Wall and sent their First Emperor to transcend. In the Mu kingdom, the king exercised divine authority through his political power, while Chu reformed its system for a new era. Even Jing, confined in the north, repeatedly repelled demonic waves. Yet, the Central Grand Jin Empire, the foremost nation of this age, remained passively accepting challenges.

Over the past few years, their main investment of resources, a massive amount of manpower and material resources, has been poured into this second-hand celestial path.
Once destroyed, it cannot be recreated.
And it could have eternally spanned the seas, becoming something akin to the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea or a paradise like the Heavenly Pure Land. It could have been the lookout tower and fortress for people from Jingguo at sea, establishing maritime dominance!
"You forced me down this path, yet you say I'm courting death. You have the composure of the perpetrator, yet you accuse the victim of insanity."
Ao Shu Yi struggled to pull his head out of his chest, but couldn't do it immediately. His voice echoed through his chest cavity before coming out, sounding especially low and sorrowful: "Aquatic creatures cannot simply vanish like this, the vast ocean cannot just die. This is all different from what was promised."
“Ugh… ah.” He groaned in pain, straining with every ounce of his strength! “The Mountainbreaker promised me that the aquatic folk could live well, have a good life. He promised me and failed to deliver, he told me to wait, but never said when. I watched myself fall, I watched the noose draw near my neck, I watched the King of the Divine Pool fight until his last breath, and before he died, he looked at me!! Today, I can’t just watch anymore!”
“My Lord Dragon! Ever since I was young, I have gazed upon the mighty river and felt its grandeur. I also deeply feel your merit and greatly admire you. But today, how unwise you are!” The Emperor of Wei State was now sailing back in his imperial boat, above the calm river, observing the tragic form of the River Dragon Lord with a voice filled with disappointment: “Today’s sea creatures are not water creatures at all. They do not acknowledge themselves as such. Open your eyes and see clearly – you have already become completely different species, born apart! The water creatures you wish to protect are in the Si Shui of my Wei State, in the Zi He of Qi State, in the Yun Meng of Chu… they are watching you everywhere! Except for the vast ocean! You die for the ocean, what good does it do for all the water creatures of the world”
Wei Xuance
Ao Shu stretched her neck to look at the man—the boy named Wei Xuanche who had stood beside Emperor Weiming and Emperor Jingxian on their meeting by the river. She had observed him growing up on the southern bank over these years, but nothing compared to the intense feeling she had today.

Those who seek to rule, they always manage to conceal their swords beneath a veneer of kindness. They can always speak threats in the guise of concern, can't they

But His head could not be lifted up.
Instead, the shock of the Nine Dragons holding the Sun forever in the mountains and rivers jade once again hammered down, burying everything inside his chest!
It resembled a tombstone, smashed into the yellow earth.
The tombstone bore no name, only bloodstains like teardrops.uan, as the leader, naturally had to personally recruit Yama himself. Although Jiang Wang was just a cultivator from a prefecture, he possessed divine abilities and boundless potential. In this situa...
