He was born as a blacksmith, but he dominated the world

Chapter 500 Expansion
The Great Snow Mountain is the frontier of Daqian and also a natural barrier.

For hundreds of years, no one knew much about this snowy mountain. The only thing they knew was that no one could cross it.

This meant that the Daqian border troops had very little guarding force there.

Now that the Great Snow Mountain has been moved away, those people's calls make Jiang Lin feel dazed.

It is said that the Great Snow Mountain was moved away by the Taoist Ancestor. Could it be that what I am doing now is the same as what the Taoist Ancestor did in the past?
Or……

The so-called Taoist Ancestor is actually himself?

Jiang Lin couldn't help but feel strange. It was fine if he was the ancestor of blacksmiths, after all, the two were the same profession.

But if he is also the ancestor of Taoism, it would seem too bizarre.

He was a legendary figure from thousands of years ago. Even though Taoism has declined in later generations, people still remember the name of the Taoist Ancestor.

For example, the leader of Xuanhua Dao even threatened Jiang Lin and Emperor Shun in the name of Daozu.

"Wait, a thousand years ago?"

Jiang Lin couldn't help but be stunned. If he was really the ancestor of Taoism, then this era was just a fragment of the long river of history from thousands of years ago?

Rather than four hundred years ago as he thought?
Jiang Lin fell silent. The time he entered the world of [Painting of the World] was different every time.

And sometimes it goes forward, sometimes it goes backward.

It was like the first time I entered a long section of history, in the era before Daqian was founded.

The second time I entered was when Daqian was about to be established.

Now is a thousand years ago, which shows that the time points in the long river of history are not fixed.

Or maybe as my cultivation level increases, I can enter a more distant time?

The Giant Flow Armor poked his head out and asked, "Master, don't worry. Since no disaster has occurred in the afterlife, it means that everything will be handled properly."

Jiang Lin certainly understood this truth. The fact that there had been no history of disasters in later generations indeed showed that everything had been handled well.

Considering the duty of the Taoist sect and the powerful clans, which is to suppress the giant skeletons, everything seems to be clear.

Jiang Lin moved away from the Great Snow Mountain thousands of years ago, leaving behind numerous classics. He also used the essence of ice and snow to transform elixirs to help those people cross the threshold of cultivation.

He also left behind the name of Taoist Ancestor. All of this is reasonable.

But to Jiang Lin personally, it seemed a little strange.

But then again, everyone says that the Taoist ancestor and the blacksmith ancestor are from the same family.

In the past, Jiang Lin was still wondering what the relationship could be between such a powerful Taoist ancestor and a blacksmith.

Now think about it, isn't the greatest relationship that we have is that we are one person?
Since they are the same person, it is easy to understand that they have the same master.

Jiang Lin took another deep breath, and the world around him continued to tremble and collapse.

He didn't know how far he could fly with the Great Snow Mountain on his back, but he thought that when he left this world, the Great Snow Mountain would definitely fall into the right position and become the natural barrier for Daqian in the future.

"It's just that a giant skeleton fell thousands of years ago and was suppressed by the Taoist sect. Hundreds of years later, there was another one. In other words, there should be at least two skeletons in this pit."

“Where are those remains from thousands of years ago now?”

Jiang Lin was puzzled, but then he thought of a possibility.

That is the giant's consciousness that is suspected to have taken over the body of the leader of the Youhai Sect. If that guy really exists, is it possible that he could steal the giant's skeleton in the years to come?
This is not impossible. After all, the giant skeleton may just be a very powerful weapon to others.

But to the giant spirit that has taken over another's body, it is just a body that can be used.

"If that guy really controls a complete giant skeleton, the harm caused will probably be even greater!"

"But such a situation has not yet occurred in history, which means that he either has not obtained it or is unable to drive it."

"After all, although the giant skeleton is very strong, it takes a lot of strength to control it. My incomplete spiritual consciousness alone may not be able to do it alone."

This is not just random guessing, but has solid basis.

The Giant Flow Arm Armor was mixed with powder from giant skeletons. When it first became spiritual, a trace of great power erupted, carrying with it a murderous aura that even a peak Divine Martial Realm cultivator could hardly control.

That kind of hostility is by no means the pride of the spirituality itself, but more because it comes from a being that is so powerful that it does not belong to this world.

From this perspective, that spirit should also contain the consciousness of the giant skeleton, even if the "content" is very small.

In other words, the giant's consciousness has been dispersed into many parts because his body has been decomposed.

The share that was taken from the leader of Youhaimen was just a leg bone.

How can a mere leg bone drive the entire body?

However, Emperor Shun was able to use tens of millions of border troops to complete the Shocking God Formation, so the leg bone spiritual consciousness might not be without a similar method.

Jiang Lin was breathing heavily, not only because of the pressure from the speculation in his mind, but also because the world around him was on the verge of collapse.

Even the huge snow-capped mountains held in their hands were constantly collapsing.

Of course, this collapse is only a pictorial meaning, not a real one.

When the collapsed fragments spread to his hands, Jiang Lin knew that he could not hold on any longer, so he simply put the Snow Mountain down and dispersed his worldly power of boxing.

In an instant, the world was spinning.

All the light and shadow disappeared, and Jiang Lin returned to the blacksmith camp in reality again.

The people around him didn't know that he had been in another world for a long time, and no one even noticed anything unusual.

Only Jiang Lin and those psychic beings knew what they had experienced.

Jiang Hengyu knew Jiang Lin's methods. He walked out of the furnace and took a look at Jiang Lin's hand, which did not contain the seedling of the ancient purple gold wood.

He looked into his arms again, but nothing there.

Then he asked, "Master, have you planted the seedlings of the ancient purple gold wood?"

Jiang Lin had just come back to his senses from [A Picturesque World], and when he heard Jiang Hengyu's question, he answered casually, "I have planted it."

"Where is it planted?" Jiang Hengyu asked curiously.

"A very safe place." Jiang Lin said.

There are the remains of a giant in another pit. Theoretically, no more giant bodies will go there.

This was our previous understanding, but now we know that a pit may not contain only one giant skeleton.

Jiang Lin couldn't help but worry about the young seedlings of the ancient purple gold tree. If another giant skeleton fell there and no one was sent to dismember and suppress it like he did, he was afraid that it would attract the giant's divine body to spy on it.

By then, everything in the pit would be destroyed, and the seedlings of the ancient purple gold tree would be no exception.

Although he really wanted to recover his cultivation immediately, enter the world of [A Picturesque World], and move the seedling of the ancient purple gold tree to a safer place.

But now his cultivation has not recovered yet, and Jiang Lin has more important things to do.

The Sky Scale Armor, Sky-Breaking Sword and other weapons detached from his body on their own.

Jiang Lin left a message saying that he was going to the palace to meet Emperor Shun, and then left.

The Sky-Breaking Sword, the Black Tortoise, the White Ze, the Guardian Arrow, and the Giant Flow Arm Armor all surrounded Jiang Hengyu and began to chatter about their experiences in the world of [A Picturesque World].

Jiang Hengyu didn't know this and was a little surprised when he heard it.

The world outside is so big.

The snow-capped mountain tens of thousands of meters high is actually a powerful ice and snow creature!

All of this would be new and strange even to a psychic body. Jiang Lin had already arrived at the imperial study.

With the imperial order, he could go in directly without anyone's permission.

In the past, Jiang Lin would abide by the rules and would only enter after the old eunuch, Eunuch Tian, ​​arrived.

This time, he walked directly into the imperial study.

Eunuch Tian was a little surprised to see him coming.

"Why is Lord Jiang back?"

Jiang Lin did not answer this question, but looked at Emperor Shun and said in a deep voice: "I have seen what you want me to see."

When these words were spoken, both Emperor Shun and the old eunuch Eunuch Tian were a little stunned.

"What did Lord Jiang say he saw?" Eunuch Tian asked with some confusion.

Of course he understood that Emperor Shun had asked Jiang Lin to see a very distant place.

But the distance there is extremely far, even if a Daowu realm cultivator wants to make a round trip, it will not be possible in a short time.

Jiang Lin came back not long after he left, saying that he had been to a very far place, which was really hard to believe.

So Eunuch Tian couldn't help but wonder if Lord Jiang had misunderstood.

Emperor Shun naturally had his doubts in his heart, but he would not ask directly like Eunuch Tian did.

Besides, it would be meaningless if two people asked the same question.

Jiang Lin said in a deep voice: "I have been to the so-called faraway place. This is a deep pit. The world outside is very big, and there are many giant divine bodies that have been driven by people fighting and competing."

"I finally understand why the emperors of Daqian have not dared to relax their vigilance for hundreds of years and have been determined to conquer all dynasties."

Eunuch Tian trembled. He had also accompanied Emperor Shun to see the "charm" of a faraway place.

Although he only took a look from a distance at the edge of the pit that year, he did not dare to run around and explore like Jiang Lin.

However, just one look is still enough to shock people for thousands of years.

The world outside is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The level of danger is enough to make people unable to sleep or eat.

This is exactly why Daqian fought for four hundred years.

Only those who have seen those giant divine bodies know how dangerous the world they live in is.

Even if no giant divine body has entered this pit for hundreds of years, what if?
What if they come in? How can we resist?
The answer to this question is self-evident.

The Daqian court has already explained everything with facts and actions.

Emperor Shun looked at Jiang Lin with deep eyes and asked, "So what do you want to do this time?"

It has to be said that Emperor Shun was, after all, an emperor.

Even though he couldn't understand how Jiang Lin could travel to and from such a far place so quickly, his focus was not on his leg strength.

But what Jiang Lin is going to do after seeing those things.

Jiang Lin asked, "Are you sure that the Shocking Spirit Formation of tens of millions of people can control the giant skeleton?"

Emperor Shun rarely answered immediately. After a while, he said, "Based on years of trials, this should be the case."

Jiang Lin wasn't very clear about what he meant by "try".

Since Emperor Shun said so, we can only believe it.

Jiang Lin said in a deep voice: "If that's the case, then expand the army!"

"But ten million border troops are not enough. At least double the number. The more the better!"

"You take care of the food, and I'll take care of the weapons."

"Call all the blacksmiths in the world to forge weapons together, the sooner the better!"

I used to think that the Daqian court was a little too hasty in doing things. There was no need to worry about things that hadn’t happened.

Now Jiang Lin felt that they were going too slow.

For four hundred years, we were unable to prepare for the crisis and our efficiency was too low.

Emperor Shun said: "But there is still the Xujian Dao and those clans."

"Those who don't cooperate will be killed!" Jiang Lin paused, realizing that this sentence was a bit untrue.

The power of the powerful clans is still very strong. With Daqian's current strength, even if he also takes action together, he may not be able to win.

Fortunately, the Qingzhou Li family cooperated secretly, which made Jiang Lin even more wary of this clan.

The Li family refused to cooperate early or late, but not long after they said they would cooperate, he witnessed the horror of the faraway place.

Is this also a coincidence?

If it wasn't a coincidence, Li would be too scary.

But now there is no time to take care of the Li family. The most urgent task is to increase the number of border troops and improve the quality of weapons.

As long as the number of border troops is large enough, even if they can’t deal with the giant skeletons, how can they deal with your powerful clan?
Emperor Shun naturally had no objection to this opinion.

He nodded and said, "I will immediately ask all departments to make preparations."

"I have another question." Jiang Lin asked, "Is there anything about the second giant skeleton in the history that Daqian knows?"

Emperor Shun said, "There are rumors about this in the Dao sect. It is said that when Daozu was still alive, a giant fell from the sky. Daozu fought a fierce battle with it and killed it. The Dao sect then divided the forces to suppress it. But after the battle, Daozu was too seriously injured and no one saw him again."

"Some say he is dead, others say he ascended to heaven. There are so many rumors, I don't know which one is more credible."

Jiang Lin didn't know what to say after hearing this. How could Daozu kill the giant in a battle?

too exaggerated.

That giant was so powerful that he could probably crush "Taoist Ancestor" to death with just the power of one finger.

The so-called killing probably refers to the ice giant in the Great Snow Mountain, right?
As for the serious injuries, death, or ascension, that is nonsense.

All we can say is that in the long course of history, the truth of many things will deviate and develop in the direction that some people most want to see and hear.

And that is not the truth.

"The so-called Taoist Ancestor is nothing." Jiang Lin shook his head and said, "It's just the skeleton of the giant suppressed by the Taoist sect. How many Taoist sects have you attacked? Have you found it?"

Emperor Shun was somewhat surprised by Jiang Lin's evaluation of Daozu, and then replied: "Of course there are giant skeletons in the Dao sect, but they are all the ones from the time of Emperor Taizu. Apart from these, there are no more."

"According to Taoist rumors, the thousand-year-old skeleton has been completely destroyed during the suppression process."

Jiang Lin frowned even more tightly, and this statement was even more nonsense.

How could the Taoist sect destroy the giant's skeleton?

This rumor shows that Taoism did suppress the first giant skeleton.

But for some unknown reason, the giant skeleton disappeared.

This is not a good thing. Jiang Lin now only hopes that the giant skeleton will really disappear and not be used by someone.

If that were the case, it would be a huge hidden danger.
