Chapter Thirty-Four: All Under Heaven Is an Illusion, Eterna
ocratic families refuse to be ranked with commoners. Those who have struggled to earn a place are even more resentful of those who get it effortlessly.The young man lowered his head and whispered, "I..."You're saying······"
In a soundproof, lightproof, and completely private room, a Taoist sat facing the wall.
This is a white wall, empty and clean, with only a round mirror hanging in the exact center.
This is a very brief example!
This realm is frameless, completely round, colorless yet translucent.

It emanated a peaceful, soft glow, not glaring at all, making the still room neither dim nor overly bright.
The daoist sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion. He was clearly within sight, but only a silhouette of light and shadow appeared.

His voice seemed far away as he said, "Was it Zhuang Gao'xian who did the thing to Qi Guowu Anhou in Shuangfeng Valley"

The man kneeling on one knee behind him was none other than Chu Zichen, who had been drinking at the Gao Ling City tavern just a few days ago.
As for the matter of Wu'an Hou of Qi State falling victim to the Frostwind Valley, due to Mei Xue Lin's place of origin and the city he resided in for a long time after entering the demon realm, the Jing State side finds it difficult to clear their suspicion.
Therefore, one had to make many concessions when facing Qi.

Chun Yu Gui's investigation in Tie Yan City, which he launched overnight, was undoubtedly sincere and even fueled by anger.
But the investigation only went so far as to establish that Mei Xuelin was a member of the People's Republic.
The capture of Mei Xuelin's friends in the Netherworld and his relatives in the mortal realm has not yielded any further substantial progress.
And the Equal Nation quickly issued a public statement that Qi State's Wu'an Hou affair had nothing to do with them—ironically, compared to the statements of those powerful hegemon states, the Equal Nation's statement was more credible.
From its founding to the present, every public statement by the Equality Nation has been direct and to the point. They have always acknowledged their actions. Unlike official pronouncements from other countries, which often contain artifice and pretense.
As for the matter of returning to Meixue Lin, although he is a member of the Pingdguo, his identity is meaningless in the face of a powerful figure pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Even if Mei Xuelin is actually Jiang Wang's long-lost brother, the mastermind behind the scenes wants to use him as a pawn and make him deal with Jiang Wang however they want. He can only do what they tell him.
The weak lack self-awareness. The egalitarian identity Mei Xue Lin possesses is more like a conspicuous smokescreen. The mastermind behind the scenes uses this to gain time and space for themselves.
Chun Yu Gui went to negotiate with the State of Qi with this investigation result, and unsurprisingly, it was not recognized. This led to the construction of the new city of Wu'an and the opening of the "Wu'an - Nantian" battlefield.
This gave rise to the newly built Wuan City and the newly opened "Wuan-Nantian" battlefield.
For the Kingdom of Jing, the death of such a peerless genius as Jiang Wang from the Kingdom of Qi was undoubtedly a heavy loss. They understood Qi's anger. For the order of the Civilization Basin, they needed to maintain it. Therefore, they could also make some concessions towards Qi's attitude – this was the tolerance of bystanders towards the unfortunate.
But as the most powerful and oldest central empire, they would never allow themselves to be a deaf, blind, and foolish person, easily used by anyone.
To find a person born in Zhongyu who possesses the status of an equal citizen, to reside permanently within the city responsible for in Jingguo, and finally, under the presence of Jingguo's heavenly pride, to attack Qi Guo's heavenly pride. How brazen is this
The Equal Nation is a pawn that muddies the waters, and isn't Jing Guo also But looking at the whole world, who has the right to make Jing Guo blind
Such people or forces, do not exist!
Even though Jing Guo had reached a tacit understanding with Qi Guo, it did not stop investigating the matter of Qi Guo's Wu An Hou falling into Shuang Feng Valley.
After a thorough investigation in Tieyan City, the Jing Shi Tai, Gyeonggu's highest intelligence agency responsible for overseeing everything, officially took over the case, launching a wider and more in-depth investigation!

The entire Mirror World Stage had been laid out with countless lines, tracing various directions and pursuing all possibilities. And now, Chu Zichen, a "Mirror Person" from the Ji Guo, seemed to have made the first breakthrough.
And now, Chu Zichen, a "Mirror Person" from the Ji country, seems to have made the first breakthrough.
>
The members of the Mirror Stage can be broadly divided into two categories: "Mirror Messengers" and "Mirror People". One is in the light, the other in the dark.
The enlightened reflect in the mirror and see their faults clearly. The unprincipled hide the mirror and carry out clandestine activities.
Having spent many years in the world of Heavenly Inferno, Zhu Zichen is undoubtedly an outstanding Mirror Person.
Hearing the question from the person ahead of him, he placed his hands on his knees and replied seriously: "Because of Jiang Wang's proclamation denouncing the Wusheng Sect and Zhuang Gaoxian's widely circulated inscription on spirits, many people in the world believe that Zhuang Gaoxian and Jiang Wang sympathize with each other and are united against a common enemy. They think they have the same origins and simply seek revenge in different ways."
But our mirror stage is very clear about this—there's a deep, life-or-death feud between them. The previous incident involving demon summoning already proved Zhuang Gaoxian's murderous intent towards Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang was not a righteous person, and he certainly didn't believe in repaying evil with good. The more he concealed his intentions from Zhuang Gaoxian, the more it revealed the depth of his murderous intent.
These two people were sworn enemies, neither would let the other go easily. But anyone with eyes could see that time was on Jiang Wang's side.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
There is no doubt that Jiang Wang is the number one prodigy in the world today. In just a few years after the meeting of the Yellow River, he has already achieved the status of a god who has no regrets, with extraordinary combat power.
While Zhuang Gaoxian had achieved a profound understanding of the Dao, he soon realized that looking at both domestic and international situations, while seemingly prosperous with flowers and brocades, there were limitations in scope. There were no opportunities for expansion or ambitious campaigns outside, nor was there a wise and capable heir apparent within. Zhuang Gaoxian could neither rely on national power to ascend to the position of true monarch within a short period, nor could he abdicate and pursue his own path of cultivation independently.
>
He could only wait for Jiang Wang to slowly catch up to his cultivation level······If the subordinate was Zhuang Gaoxian, he would be unable to sleep or eat!
Chu Zichen had clearly pondered this for a long time, and now spoke eloquently and coherently: "The pursuit of Zhang Linchuan across thousands of miles and the eradication of the Wusheng Sect. This further demonstrates that Jiang Wang's influence has grown to a terrifying level. With just one proclamation, he gained widespread support throughout the land! The Wusheng Sect, which had spread throughout the world and taken root for countless miles, was wiped out overnight!"
Compared to his cultivation, this influence is a more terrifying thing.
Is Mr. Zhuang Gaoxian available
Look at the Celestial Prison today. Because of Jiang Wang's death, how many forces have come How many immortals, how many True Lords If Jiang Wang had not died today, these people might very well stand on the ruins of Zhuang Guo someday!
“As you put it, Zhuang Gaoxian does indeed have the motive to take action.” The one sitting against the wall sighed: “But to murder a human prodigy behind the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons is undoubtedly a desecration of the ancient pact between humans and demons.”
"He really dares to do that"
Chu Zichen whispered, “The ancient pact to slay demons is also sacred and inviolable.”
The lone wanderer, a silhouette against the light and shadow, was speechless for a moment.
Zhu Zichen softly said, "The ancient pact of the Demonic Annihilation Alliance is also sacred and inviolable." The lone figure of a Daoist was momentarily speechless.
>
Although Zhuang Gaoxian was publicly blamed and had to perform a humiliating ritual after the failed investigation last time, everyone knows that Zhuang Gaoxian is truly responsible. After all, a wise ruler and his virtuous ministers always work together in harmony. How could Du Ruhui betray Zhuang Gaoxian and do something so outrageous
Although Zhuang Gao Xian was the king of a country, he belonged to his nation's ruler. Jing Guo couldn't let him lose face and prestige by seeing him in such a humiliating situation, so they just vaguely evaded the issue.
>
Compared to the ancient pact between the Demon-Exterminating Alliance and the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons, it's hard to say which is more serious.
Zhuang Gao xen able to use the ancient demon-slaying covenant as a weapon, smearing Jiang Wang for colluding with demons... What's so strange about breaking the human agreement with the Ten Thousand Demons Gate and doing something against it
Chu Zichen added, "So besides the motive, courage also came into play." There was a barely perceptible excitement in his voice. After all, he was investigating a major case—one involving Zhuang Gaoxian, the sovereign of Dongzhen Kingdom under Zhongxing Zhuangguo, the youngest military merit Marquis from the powerful Dongqi Kingdom, and people's public morality concerning the entire human race! Once this case came to light, it would undoubtedly attract worldwide attention.
And he, Chu Zichen, unraveling the truth thread by thread, was poised for instant fame! Solving a case of this magnitude, wouldn't merits, spirit stones, and promotions be his due

Who would have believed that he, born in such a small country as Ji, with no background whatsoever, could weave such a brilliant future for himself
Only the shadow of a cultivator's voice broke through Zhu Zichen's reverie: "But how is it possible Your motives and courage are reasonable, but Zhuang Gaoxian is after all a king, not to be moved lightly, let alone venturing behind the Wan Yao Gate. More importantly······ Jiang Wang is already the Marquis of Wu'an in Qi, with high status and power, he would inevitably receive attention and protection from Qi. What makes Zhuang Gaoxian think he can track his whereabouts and prepare in advance This doesn't make sense, neither Xiu Yuan nor Ji Zhaonan could be controlled by him."
Chu Zicheng said humbly, "You wouldn't have expected the answer, you've just fallen into a wrong line of thinking. Why would Zhuang Gao need to track down Jiang Wang's whereabouts There's the divinely ordained responsibility of the God-Looking upon him, Jiang Wang will inevitably enter the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons to fulfill it. And this day won't be too long in coming, after all, he is a young national marquis who is watched by all under heaven. If he delays his duty for too long, it will inevitably attract unwanted gossip. Jiang Wang has no need to procrastinate; given his past performance, he is not a timid man..."
Therefore, Zhuang Gao was merely required to enter the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons ahead of time and wait.
The one seated against the wall sighed softly again.
Chu Zichen continued, "It's a coincidence that there is someone named Qiao Jingzong in Zhuang State who is one of the so-called Eight Talented Young Men of Xin'an. He arrived at the Heavenly Prison world at the beginning of the year and has been developing in Gaoling City... You should have also noticed that the time this person entered the Heavenly Prison world coincided with Jiang Wang establishing his unparalleled military exploits on the Qi Xia battlefield, earning the title of Duke through military merit!"
"Joe Ching-jong" asked the speaker.
Chu Zichen said: "Gaoling City is not far from Tieyan City. For a contemporary real person, this distance is completely negligible. Although I don't know how he found Mei Xue Lin as such a perfect body to inhabit, for the lord who will bring prosperity back to Zhuang Kingdom, this must not be difficult."
If he had been constantly monitoring the various cities of Qi in the basin, it would not have been difficult for him to receive news of Jiang Wang's descent into Heavenly Hell immediately.

With a sincere heart but without desire, with wisdom to perceive the divine and the profound, in this world of heaven and hell, there are too many opportunities.
He may not have necessarily intended to make a move in the Frostwind Valley, but there was just such a perfect opportunity there······ Ji Zhaonan led Jiang Wang into a bloody battle in the Frostwind Valley.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
So he made a decisive decision, finding a way to conceal himself and silently leave Gaoling City. He then directed Mei Xuelin, whom he had long placed under his control, to mingle with General Wang Kun's troops under the guise of support, heading for Shuangfeng Valley. At the most critical moment, he single-handedly buried Qi Guo Wuan Hou.
“If the truth of the matter is as I surmise, then every detail aligns perfectly...” Dao continued, “What do you think Is Qiao Jingzong actually Zhuang Gaoqian”

"Although I don't know how he did it, there isn't a second person in the entire Zhuang Kingdom who can reach the combat power of a real human."
“I’ve also checked current affairs. Since the beginning of the year, Master Zhuang has indeed had five audiences with the emperor, but all five times, he just sat there and said a few words, without taking any action. That is to say······ it’s not necessarily true.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel a bit touched: "Zhuang Gao's strategy, methods, and willpower are truly first-rate. No wonder he was able to lead Zhuang Guo's resurgence and create such a powerful presence today."
After Jiang Wang was enfeoffed as a Marquis, he was again sent to serve as an envoy to Mu State and inspected Nansha. The responsibility of overseeing the divine realm kept being postponed. Zhuang Gao Xian entered the demon realm and could only keep waiting.
From the beginning of the year to now, as the ruler of a country, he dared to risk everything and wait behind the Ten Thousand Demons Gate for an opportunity to kill Jiang Wang. He waited for almost eleven months!
For every day he stayed in Gaoling City, his risk of exposure increased by one. His adventure was hanging the entire centuries-long operation of the Zhuang Kingdom, and everything about him as a true person of the present age, on the edge of a knife.
If I were an ordinary person, I would have waited impatiently a long time ago. If I were him, I don't know how many times I would have collapsed.
But he was able to remain calm and collected, living entirely as Qiao Jingzong without revealing any clues!
The seated Daoist sighed again, “Zi Cheng, your analysis is excellent. However, up to this point, all of it has only been your speculation.”
Chu Zichen's heart was pounding. Although he had always prided himself on not being an ordinary person and had already been in contact with this bigwig, this was the first time that this bigwig called him "Zichen" so casually.
This means, I think, is self-evident.
"Verifying this is so easy!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He immediately offered a well-thought-out solution: “We should, under the pretext of the high city military, launch a small-scale war urgently, calling Qiao Jingzong to the front lines so that his plan to return to the mortal world would be put on hold.”
The inspection of those entering and exiting the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons should still be kept rigorous.

Let Yu Jing Mountain casually send a real person to Xin'an City, saying that they are going to inspect the lineage of Zhuang Guo Guo Dao Yuan.
If Zhuang Gaoxian were within the country, he would surely come out to greet him. Conversely, if Zhuang Gaoxian did not personally greet him, then he is still in Tianyu Prison right now, and it is indeed Qiao Jingzong!
Let me know if you'd like me to translate any other text!
Faced with a major case that everyone involved had no clue about, Chu Zichen was able to unravel the mystery step by step, getting closer to the truth. He relied on his extraordinary sensitivity and meticulousness, as well as his tireless efforts in reviewing a vast amount of data, conducting extensive investigations, and almost deciphering Jiang Wang's life of grievances and恩怨.
Under the assumption that Qiao Jingzong was Zhuang Gaoxian, he took the initiative to invite him for a drink. Amidst the clinking of glasses, he probed the real person through his words.
How courageous he is! He is diligent and hardworking, calm and decisive, intelligent and brave. What reason could there be for him not to achieve ultimate success
Yesterday's Ginger Wu An, was not necessarily incapable of becoming tomorrow's Zhu Zi Chen!
"The Daoist continued, 'This is indeed a good way to discern the truth. Even if it turns out not to be Zhuang Gaixian in the end, we won't have lost anything. You've thought this through very well. But Zi Cheng, have you considered… what if Qiao Jingzong really is Zhuang Gaixian What if Zhuang Gaixian is such a terrifying person If you investigate him like this, how could he not discover you'"
Chu Zichen was a little stunned: "I... My subordinate, my subordinate was very careful. I concealed it very well."
The Wayfarer let out a long sigh: "Zi Cheng, you are indeed a rare talent. It's a pity all these years..."
Chu Zichen suppressed the joy in his heart and said humbly, "For Jing Shi Tai, for the great Jing Dynasty's loyalty, Zichen is willing—"
His words abruptly ceased.
Feeling the life force within him rapidly dissipate, he stared incredulously at the person before him.
Until from this person's mouth, I heard the additional word "willingness".
“I gave you a chance······ But to greet the eternal night like this, you seem willing, don't you” The speaker asked.
>
Only then did he realize that the person before him, sighing so many times before, was doing it for him. But···
“Why...why” Zhu Zichen struggled, asking with his last vestiges of determination.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
One hand covered his eyes.
>
Soothed his resentment, and soothed all of him.
At the end of his life, he heard a faint voice saying— “All is illusion, eternal life alone is true.”
His soul seemed to explode, with a terrifying physical and mental upheaval before entering eternal darkness.
“The way...the rogue!”
(The Red Heart Patrol of Heaven has entered the British Library, indicating that this immortal world we've all participated in together is... pretty good.)
