Chapter 149: Sweating Buckets, My Brother

Gu Jiangming had never doubted the abilities of Jiu Jiu and Liu Moran.

Precisely because he had never doubted their abilities, he was clear that once these two people became serious, it was absolutely not something that could be settled in any ordinary way.

That Liu Moran could establish the Heavenly Dao by her own power and indirectly influence a thousand years of history was, in itself, proof of her ability.

But how could Jiu Jiu, who bore the Jingwei Blood, be a person of no consequence?

Especially since Gu Jiangming could almost confirm that Jiu Jiu was able to inherit memories of the past; in other words, Jiu Jiu's ability was accumulated over lifetime after lifetime.

These many experiences were all precious knowledge.

Therefore, regarding the current trend of the situation, even Gu Jiangming did not know what the final outcome would be, because both Jiu Jiu and Liu Moran possessed the potential of a Heavenly Lord.

Admittedly, the offspring of Jiu Jiu and Liu Moran perfectly inherited Gu Jiangming's talent and ability, but one must never overlook one point: that Jiu Jiu and Liu Moran themselves were already outstanding enough.

But Gu Jiangming's current situation was far more complex than he had imagined.

Not to mention that the conflict between Jiu Jiu and Liu Moran had already risen to the surface, Wang Qinghe and Long Xi, who were by Gu Jiangming's side, also made him feel like he was sitting on pins and needles.

【Although Wang Qinghe and Long Xi do not know your intentions, they are prepared to wait on the road ahead out of respect for your thoughts.】

【The relationship between Wang Qinghe and Long Xi has become more intimate; Wang Qinghe's stance toward Long Xi has risen, but Long Xi's stance toward Wang Qinghe remains unchanged.】

【You are currently in a weakened state; you are pregnant.】

【And here, you will also quietly await the arrival of those fated to meet.】

【You wrote down some of the stories you had experienced, blending in some of your understanding of swordsmanship and sword intent.】

【After a moment of contemplation, the sword intent in your hand surged, leaving behind several lines of text that recounted several segments of stories.】

【"The Dao of the Great Thousand is nothing more than... No-Move Wins Over Move; moves are never important, what is important is the change of formless momentum."】

The entire Nine Provinces was likewise surging with wind and clouds.

【You left this cave.】

【After obtaining sufficient rest, you set off again. Before leaving, your eyes suddenly lit up; you triggered the effect of Pure Heart, and a whimsical idea arose within your mind.】

【You left the Dengyun Immortal Sect and wandered about.】

【Due to the appearance of the supreme concept of "No-Move Wins Over Move," this inheritance is defined as a Golden Word quality sword path inheritance.】

【Wang Qinghe's cultivation has improved following Long Xi's guidance.】

【You left behind an inheritance. The person who obtains this inheritance will have their swordsmanship talent +20, their sword intent will be greatly enhanced, and you will open the Sword God Path for them.】

【Because you could not find a suitable place to rest, you were forced to temporarily find a mountain cave to stay in.】

【Wang Qinghe's cultivation has fallen into a stagnant state; due to her talent as a Heaven and Earth spirit creature, she often needs more time to accumulate.】

【Finally, you left behind one sentence—"All things are prepared within me."】

【Long Xi looked at Wang Qinghe's bewildered state and provided appropriate guidance, which allowed Wang Qinghe to clear away the clouds and mist and come to a sudden realization.】

Liu Moran gazed at her Mie Changsheng information and fell into deep thought.

【You let Wang Qinghe and Long Xi leave first, intending to leave behind an inheritance here for those fated to come in later generations.】

【And you looked at this cave, taking up your sword and standing.】

【In these past few days, your Demon Seed has been communicating with you more and more frequently. After you were severely injured, she has often been able to occupy your physical body and manipulate it freely.】

【Your research into the Dao of Arrays has entered a new realm. Because you have witnessed the grand layout of the "Four Thousand Bureau," and given your talent, you seem to have touched upon the boundaries of the "Four Thousand Bureau."】

【You have just founded your own faction—"Niankong."】

【Regarding the grasp of human nature, you have a firm hold. You decided to seek out some poor people with clean backgrounds and no parents to serve as your personal disciples.】

【Only these people would treat you as their spiritual sustenance.】

【Although using human nature is quite shameful, trust between people can only be established at such times.】

【What's more, if it weren't for you, these children would only meet a more tragic end. By comparison, you gave them a meal, gave them a belief, and gave them a spiritual support to live on; this is more like salvation.】

Even though Liu Moran really did not want to admit it, when she was alone... she was very lacking in something called a sense of security.

But... Liu Moran truly and definitely disliked the feeling of being betrayed by others.

This resulted in the faction Liu Moran founded having a very strong personal style; rather than saying she was taking in disciples, it was more like she was recruiting death warriors.

And this characteristic was not something that could be changed in a short time.

【You went everywhere distributing porridge and laying out plans, accumulating virtue and cultivating reputation, and then found a villa to establish "Niankong Villa."】

【After the villa was established, you first recruited some poor families as servants to manage Niankong Villa, providing them with sufficient food.】

【In this era, being able to eat one's fill is already a difficult matter. Your casual charity was a life beyond the reach of mortals, which made these servants work diligently and remain loyal to their duties.】

【Niankong Villa is in a state of high order, and the security of the entire villa is unprecedentedly excellent.】

【Your servants are all happy to listen to your instructions.】

【They have a high standing toward you.】

【You began to explore the Nine Provinces and dig for usable talent everywhere.】

While recording the interface, Mie Changsheng could also provide a large amount of accurate information and even evaluate the state of the entire faction.

This function was an effect Liu Moran had not expected.

It greatly compensated for her lack of a sense of security; at the very least, she could see these people's attitudes toward her.

Human hearts are separated by skin; this kind of attitude that can be manifested in text is still something that makes one feel comfortable.

【On this trip, you brought back over a hundred young children for Niankong Villa. They are not very old, most have clean backgrounds; some are orphans, and while some have parents, in the midst of a displaced environment, most people lost the ability to raise them and tried every means to send them to you.】

【Among these hundred-plus young children, three have astonishing talent, some others have decent aptitude—considered above average—and the rest are unremarkable.】

On the screen, three children with purple words appeared in Liu Moran's line of sight.

Disciples with Golden Words are somewhat hard to encounter, but disciples with purple words are enough; if cultivated well, there is room for them to stand on their own.

Liu Moran was able to build an orderly "Heavenly Dao" faction even before she had the 【Mie Changsheng】 panel, and now with 【Mie Changsheng】 as a side-assistant, her confidence in "Niankong Villa" is clearly even greater.

Especially since the "Heavenly Dao" faction was actually a tight combination of various interests, with "me in you and you in me." Only with the tug-of-war of interests did it appear that heroes submitted to one person; if there were no common interests, it would be extremely difficult to achieve unity of purpose.

The establishment of "Niankong Villa," on the contrary, is healthier and sounder than "Heavenly Dao."

She had time to spend, and time to grind; as Niankong Villa gradually grew, it would soon become a tremendous asset in her hands.

In this lifetime, I will eventually stir up wind and rain once more.

Liu Moran narrowed her eyes slightly, and a cold glint flashed across them.

That woman I do not know, you just wait for me!
