Chapter 79 - The Land of Cang Lang in the Green Cloud Continent
” Old man, how is the power of the Yan Clan, in the Yan Capital of the Yan Jiang country? ’
Baili Jingwei looked at Qing Shui, laughing as she replied with another question. ” How much do you know about the world of the nine continents, or how your knowledge and familiarity with the country of Cang Lang, and how much do you understand about your own strength?
Under the sudden attack of the three questions, Qing Shui realized that/it really, he didn't know much, but since he didn't understand, all he had to do was ask! The old man in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person. He had to take this opportunity to expand his knowledge of this world he lived in.
’’Please brighten this young.’ ‘Qing Shui sincerely pleads.
Baili Jingwei smiled as she nodded her head.
’Under the skies of the nine continents, our continent of Greencloud is located on the westernmost border of this world. However, did you know that/it is on the northern and western borders of the continent, frightening dangers are everywhere. For example in the western region is the 10 million li mountain, which has never been passed by everyone before, in part because there is not enough food and water. ’
Qing Shui listened quietly as his mind spun back to the span of half a year he had spent there.
The country of Cang Lang is one of the 81 countries on the continent of Greencloud, and is also located in the westernmost region. The size of the land it occupies is very large, and is in a good strategic location.
” The people in Cang Lang country, including the cultivators, there are only a few of them who have left this country before. The majority of Cang Lang citizens visit the border between Cang Lang and other countries, or they at most just travel to one of the 81 cities located within the country. Hundred Miles City was one such city, but it was one of the weakest and smallest cities. ’
Qing Shui naturally knew this, as it was extremely difficult just to find a Xiantian Cultivator in this city.
Baili Jingwei drank a mouthful of tea from her cup, as she swept her gaze into the crowd on the streets as she lightly said, ’Yan Capital is the capital of Yan Jiang State. And the Yan Clan can be considered as the ‘kingdom’ clan of Yan Capital, and is the patron of Yan Capital. As for the true strength of the Yan Clan, even I cannot be certain. After all the power they expressed could become a facade. After all, I am not from Yan Jiang Country, so there is no way I can tell you for sure. However, one thing was certain, the Yan Clan would definitely have more than one Xiantian cultivator.
Baili Jingwei's words caused Qing Shui to suck in a cold breath, so the Yan Clan could be considered as the protector of the entire country. It speaks volumes about their strength!
” And here I am still thinking of stepping on the Yan Clan after reaching Xiantian, what a joke, a childish joke. The promise I made to mother, saying to give me five years .. Can I defeat the entire Yan Clan in five years? ” Qing Shui felt extremely bitter in his heart.
Lost in his mind, Qing Shui had only recovered after he saw the grandfather and grandson duo looking at him with strange gazes in their eyes, before smiling strongly.
’’Older, are there many Xiantian cultivators out there?’
Baili Jingwei only smiled lightly as she shook her head, placed her hands on the table before declaring, ” Qing Shui, this world is controlled by various closed sects and large clans, anyone with power, who has power, you will have the authority to speak. Do you understand?”
Qing Shui pondered those words before suspiciously stating, ” I still don't understand! ’
” Okay this way, Hundreds of Miles City is a small city in Lang Cang Country, and for certain things, Hundred Miles City still has to follow the arrangement of Cang Lang Country, and, and will need to pay taxes and all. Do you understand now? This was because the strength of the Cang Lang Country was much stronger than Hundred Miles City. You could say that/it Cang Lang State is a supporter of Hundred Miles City! ’’ Baili Jingwei glanced at Qing Shui as she slowly explained.
” You say that/that as long as someone is strong enough, he can control the capital or even a country from the shadows? ” Qing Shui asked with clear suspicion in his tone.
Qing Shui could sense that/it was Baili Jingwei this must be someone with extraordinary status. After all, despite knowing that the/it Yan Clan had sufficient strength to become the protector of the Yan Jiang state, he could still casually utter such words.
” Thank you, if I really need your help, I will definitely look for you. ’
Regardless of the relaxed way the old man spoke, Qing Shui could feel sincerity in his eyes. There is no free lunch in this world! Qing Shui did not believe that/that the old man would help him because of the purity of his heart, only that he did not yet know what the motive of the old man was.
’Good, if you need my help, just turn on ‘’ Cloudflame Cylinder ’ini. As long as you are in Cang Lang country, at most, in just 3 days, there will be people coming to help you. And I'll rush there too. ’
After thinking for a while, Qing Shui accepted the cylinder. It was just that Qing Shui was young and somewhat ignorant. If he knew that/that the object he held in his hand was the life-saving signal cylinder of the ” Heavenly Sword Sect ‘, no one would be able to predict his reaction.
’’Thank you, old sir.’ ’
” No need thank you, I said that/that we were destined to meet here. The meaning of destiny, is very simple. It just means we can use each other. ’’ Baili Jingwei maintained her warm-looking smile on her face.
Qing Shui felt that what the old man said was true, as his estimation of the old man subconsciously rose by several degrees, but the words he said caused Qing Shui to reflect a little.
” Old Man, since you said that/that we were destined to meet, could there be anything I could help you with? ” Qing Shui decided to get straight to the point.
Baili Jingwei slowly said, ” please or not, it doesn't matter to me, because I don't know if you'll be able to mature for all the years that I'm still alive. However I can sense that/it is currently you can be compared to a goldfish that will turn into a dragon after jumping over the dragon gate [1]. I did this just to sow some karma, and leave a path of retreat for my descendants. ’’
These words caused Qing Shui to be startled. Baili Jingwei planned too far ahead in the future. What made Qing Shui shocked, was not that Baili Jingwei could say that/that she was amazing. It was a fact that/it was for a mere promise ‘in the future ’, he would not hesitate to help Qing Shui fight the Yan Clan!
’’Do you really feel that/that I will have outstanding achievements in the future?’ ‘Qing Shui laughs.
’’ Just my intuition, but usually accurate. Even though I am old, the light in my eyes is not yet gloomy. ’’ Baili Jingwei laughed, exuding a wise feeling.
” I'm afraid I'll let you down. ” Qing Shui sighed as he spoke.
’Not to worry, helping others is also a form of excitement. I'll just treat it like an investment. ” The old man continued to laugh, as his clear eyes looked at Qing Shui.
” If you are right, and I become someone capable of shaking the world in the future, I will never forget your help and kindness. ’
