Chapter 254 Meeting Zhenwu The divine light in front of Jiang Lin's eyes slowly dissipated, and he came back to his senses. Looking around, I found that this seemed to be an ancient battlefield, with mottled marks everywhere, caused by various spells. and…… Jiang Lin sniffed and smelled a familiar yet unfamiliar scent. The smell of demons. A great war once took place here, and one of the sides was not the human race, but the demon race, or to be more precise, the monsters. And, looking at the scale... Jiang Lin looked around and pushed his spiritual sense to the limit, but still could not touch the edge of this ancient battlefield. All he could sense was the evil spirit that had not dissipated for who knows how many years. The scale of this ancient battlefield between humans and demons is simply beyond imagination. What on earth has the Emperor Zhenwu done to me? Jiang Lin retracted his spiritual sense. This was the reason why he dared to release his spiritual sense unscrupulously in this unfamiliar environment. Jiang Lin came to this place through the statue of Emperor Zhenwu.

Therefore, Jiang Lin was not worried at all that there might be any ghost things here. However, is this place really existing somewhere in the Three Realms, or was it constructed by the Great Emperor Zhenwu using some magical power, or is it a replica of a scene from the past? It sounds incredible, but for an existence like Zhenwu Emperor, it is completely easy to do this. Jiang Lin thought silently in his heart. "This is the Three Realms." At this time, a generous and gentle voice sounded behind Jiang Lin. Jiang Lin turned around and looked. I saw a middle-aged man with a black beard standing behind Jiang Lin from somewhere. The man had a square face and bright eyes. He wore a black martial arts robe and no crown. His thick black hair was neatly combed behind his ears and he had a kind smile on his lips. When Jiang Lin saw this, he quickly took two steps back, straightened his clothes, and then bowed solemnly. "Your subordinate, Jiang Xuanying, a fifth-rank mage from the Black Law Division of the North Pole Exorcism Institute, greets His Majesty the True Martial Emperor!" As mentioned before, in a sense, the Great Emperor Zhenwu can be considered the superior of the Black Law Mages, or those military officers of the Arctic who are responsible for drawing swords and fighting can be considered the subordinates of this great emperor. If the Beiji clan goes to pay homage to the Emperor, the first one on the left in the Wu list is the Zhenwu Emperor. After that, there came the Mighty Sword God King, the Four-eyed Old Man and other great generals and gods, and the Black Law Mage was also among them. That's why Jiang Lin calls himself a humble official. "Ah." The Great Emperor Zhenwu smiled and nodded, his attitude was kind and generous, and it was hard to tell that he was one of the top killing gods in the Three Realms. "I have a long history with your master. To use the words of you young people, our friendship was probably forged through fighting." Emperor Zhenwu smiled and said, "I am taking advantage of my age and calling you Xuanying. You don't have to be too reserved."

"Don't dare." Jiang Lin quickly bowed and said, "Jiang Lin greets the Master." This title comes from the status of Emperor Zhenwu in the North Pole system. The teacher is the assistant of the emperor. The Four Saints of the North Pole are all among them. "it is good." The Great Emperor Zhenwu responded with a smile, pointed around, and asked, "Xuanying, come and see." Jiang Lin followed the instructions of Emperor Zhenwu and looked around, and the voice of Emperor Zhenwu rang in his ears. "What do you see?" Hearing this, Jiang Lin couldn't help but blink and said, "Please forgive my stupidity. This seems to be an ancient battlefield. I don't see any deep meaning." Jiang Lin spoke the truth and did not feel ashamed at all. In front of a great god and elder like the Zhenwu Emperor, there was no point in lying or covering up. If he didn't know, he didn't know. If he didn't see it, he didn't see it. "good." Emperor Zhenwu was very satisfied with Jiang Lin's answer. He paced slowly and bent down to pick up a black stick. The stick was covered with carbonized spots, and vaguely it looked like half a spear, but the tip of the spear was already rusted. "This is just a battlefield. There is nothing else here." "There is only blood and fire, life and death. Although these three realms are vast, there is no place simpler or more real than here." The Great Emperor Zhenwu inspected the half-broken spear in his hand and suddenly said, "Tan Daobing, the vanguard flag bearer of the 8th Iron Army Battalion under the command of General Beiji Heisha, was trapped in the enemy's formation. Five thousand demon soldiers besieged 328 people, and the flag did not fall for seven days." "When the reinforcements arrive, we will kill all the demon soldiers. The soldiers of the criminal sect carried flags and spears, and were full of murderous intent, but the man did not move. After checking his breath, he has been dead for more than three days." "Then I will calculate my merits. I killed 538 demon soldiers, which is the third rank of military merit." The Great Emperor Zhenwu spoke like he was talking about his treasures, and carefully put the half of the spear in his hand back to its original position, saying: "There should have been a demon's head on this half of the spear, but now, the head must have rotted and turned to ashes." After that, he looked at Jiang Lin and said softly: "This is the killing battlefield. Seventeen thousand and two hundred and eight of my heavenly soldiers died. I remember the names of every one of them." Jiang Lin listened carefully. Although he had doubts in his heart, he still carefully remembered every word of Emperor Zhenwu. Emperor Zhenwu looked at Jiang Lin's appearance and suddenly smiled and said, "Don't be too serious. I just want to talk." "What do you see here?" Emperor Zhenwu asked a question that was almost the same as the previous one. Hearing this, Jiang Lin said softly, "One of your sad places." Emperor Zhenwu looked at Jiang Lin deeply and remained silent for a long time. At this point, it is very clear that Emperor Zhenwu was ordered by the Jade Emperor to dominate the north and eliminate the evil spirits. That earth-shattering battle took place here.

Or rather, this is just one of them. It was also after this battle that the Great Emperor Zhenwu became famous and his achievements shone through the sky. Logically speaking, this should have been the proudest thing in his life. But Jiang Lin said that this was a sad place for Emperor Zhenwu. A general's success is built on the bones of thousands of men. How could an emperor's achievements not be paved with bones? In these three realms, when it comes down to it, whoever has the bigger fist has the final say. However, behind this great feat, behind the great power of Zhenwu Emperor in the north, are the corpses of countless heavenly soldiers and generals, and of course, countless times more are the blood and bones of those demons and evil spirits. There is no general who does not love his soldiers, and a general who does not love his soldiers will never achieve great achievements. However, loving soldiers like sons and using them like flies are not contradictory. That’s why Jiang Lin said that this is the sad place of Emperor Zhenwu, not his place of honor. "The person I just mentioned is a celestial being." Emperor Zhenwu said, looking at Jiang Lin, and suddenly asked: "Do you hate celestial beings?" Jiang Lin shook his head slightly and said, "Disciple respects all those who truly do things, whether they are celestial beings or others." The implication is that those bastards who only care about intrigue instead of doing their work are all bastards, no matter if they are from the celestial system or the ascension system. Emperor Zhenwu was not surprised, or rather, all the great gods of the entire Arctic series basically had the same idea as Jiang Lin. As long as you can do things and do them seriously, who cares whether you are a god or a human? “But Xuan Ying.” Emperor Zhenwu said softly: "Everything you have done so far, although fundamentally it is a counterattack against those termites of the Celestial Being system, you have actually helped the termites of the Ascension system." Jiang Lin remained silent and nodded slightly. He was very clear about this. The battle between the Celestial Beings and the Ascension Department was in full swing, and up to now, judging from Jiang Lin's words, it was the group of people who wanted to do practical things, led by the Black Law Division, who were fighting with the Celestial Beings. And each time it becomes more intense than the last. Although in the final analysis, as Emperor Zhenwu said, this was just Jiang Lin's counterattack, and it was also to clear out those useless termites. But it did bring some bastards in the Ascension Department some real benefits. Some may ask, what are the benefits? Well, this is the absurdity of struggle. It is not uncommon to oppose just for the sake of opposing and to harm others without benefiting oneself. The Celestial Being Department was almost seriously injured by the Black Law Department and the Hall of Justice. This is the biggest benefit to the Ascension Department. Now the Black Law Department and the Palace of Justice are still in the front, and those bastards from the Ascension Department are naturally happy to watch the show from the back. Anyway, as long as the Tianren system is in trouble, they will be happy. In fact, on the surface, it seems that the Black Law Department and the Palace of Justice have become the vanguards of the Ascension System in a broad sense. Jiang Lin was very clear about this, and Wei Fazu and Yang Shaojun were also very clear about this. But what can be done?

There are termites on both sides. If you want to suppress the more aggressive one and bring it down, you have to use heavy hands. But once a strong hand is taken, it actually helps the other side. This is also one of the disgusting things about the struggle. As long as you get involved, no matter what your original intention is, you will always fall into this quagmire. "What do you mean?" Jiang Lin raised his head and looked at Emperor Zhenwu. Don't forget that the concept of ascension was originally created by Zhenwu Emperor and others. The Great Emperor Zhenwu was one of the first to ascend. And now, the Great Emperor Zhenwu used a former celestial subordinate as a starting point to ask Jiang Lin this question. What this represents is already obvious. "It's not just the gods who are restless." Emperor Zhenwu said with a sigh. Jiang Lin nodded silently, waiting for the next words from Emperor Zhenwu. "This is an offensive job." Emperor Zhenwu looked at Jiang Lin and said, "After so many years, my Beiji family finally has a child who is qualified to practice Ziwei Fa." "You shouldn't have come forward. I have talked about this with your master before. Tianpeng was also present at the time." "But your master said..." Jiang Lin raised his head at this moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he continued the conversation, saying: "That little bastard won't care." "Hahahahahaha!" The Great Emperor Zhenwu laughed heartily. Smiling happily. Pointing at Jiang Lin, he said, "As expected of you, you are the disciple of Daoist Fellow Qingjia." Jiang Lin smiled and blinked. The old man knows it all too well. Now, half of the matter is clear. The reason why Emperor Zhenwu called me here was for one thing. As those bastards from the Celestial Being Department were hurt and scared, the bastards from the Ascension Department on the other side started to jump. Now the great gods are planning to give those bastards in the Ascension Department a tough beating as well. And this time, we have to start from the human world as well.

After all, if we punch the same person, we can't be partial to one and treat the other poorly, right? And there is another helpless reason. Although those bastards have fought each other to the point of losing their brains, many places in the Heavenly Palace really cannot do without these people. It runs slowly, but at least it is running. The helplessness of the Heavenly Court now is that there is no better way to operate, and these people have to continue to be used. Therefore, whether it was the previous suppression of the Celestial Beings System or the current preparations to take action against the Ascension System, it was necessary to create waves from the bottom up and from the subtleties. This is not a good job. The Ascension System is different from the Celestial System. The Celestial System’s base is in the heavens, while the Ascension System’s base is on earth, within each legal system. If Jiang Lin really took drastic measures, it would be difficult for him to survive in the world in the future. But unfortunately, the world now needs a black law wizard to walk around. Jiang Lin is the only choice. The Great Emperor Zhenwu came here just to ask Jiang Lin's opinion and see what he said. Jiang Lin’s answer was also very simple. Does Dao Ye care? Apparently, not at all. "Just tell me what to do." Jiang Lin was even a little impatient. He was a very stingy person and would not allow others to take advantage of him. And those bastards from the Ascension Department have been taking advantage of him. He worked so hard to give the Celestial Being Department several slaps in the face, and now you guys are taking advantage of the benefits? How can you eat meat without getting beaten? This wave also gave Jiang Lin an inspiration. Yes, getting involved in a struggle, whether willingly or not, and regardless of one's original intention, is actually helping one side. But what if we raise the perspective? Sitting in the referee's position, or in other words, holding the center of the scale, if this side is higher, some weight will be taken away from the other side, and vice versa. Jiang Lin suddenly became enlightened. Emperor Zhenwu was speechless and said, "Sure enough, the old bastard can only teach a little bastard." "Don't you want to think of anything else?" Jiang Lin chuckled, moved closer, and said, "Aren't you waiting for you, Master, to clear up my doubts?" After that, Jiang Lin said seriously: "That mysterious girl, is she also related to the Ascension System?" It has been said before that Jiang Lin is not not coming to Wudang Mountain, it’s just that the time has not come. Now the time has come, so what are the characteristics of this time? Naturally, it was the mysterious girl who disappeared after entering the black qi channel. A girl who was born in West Kunlun, has a strong connection with the Queen Mother of the West, but has been used by the Celestial Beings for a long time. Emperor Zhenwu is talking about the Ascension System now. Does that mean that the girl's involvement isn't limited to the Celestial System? "Yes." The Great Emperor Zhenwu did not intend to keep silent and said directly: "That girl has a big secret, not only about the ascension system, but also beyond the heaven..."

"In this vast world, and even further down, in short, in the three realms and six paths, everyone with eyes is staring at her." "It's just that the Tianren system is close to the water tower, but those termites are only so brave." Jiang Lin was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help but ask. "May I ask, Master, what exactly is that girl?" (End of this chapter)
