Chapter 1509: 166 Theory of Momentum
Chapter 1509: Chapter 166 Theory of MomentumYu Beidou personally went to the Cliff of Celestial Punishment, and after the Triple Punishment Palace publicly cleared Jiang Wang’s name…
The Jinguo side maintained silence throughout.
Neither insisting that Jiang Wang was guilty nor attempting to explain anything.
In the various countries under heaven, people continuously came forward to denounce the scandal of the Mirror World Platform wrongfully accusing Jiang Wang, but the most influential figures never stated their position.
It seemed as if an invisible barrier kept the boiling public opinion limited to a certain degree.
Clearly the tides were surging, but they could never rise into a storm.
Everyone knew that Jinguo would never handle this matter with diminished emphasis. Under Qi Country’s close scrutiny, this matter also had no possibility of being downplayed.
People were waiting for the statement of the mightiest country under heaven, countless eyes watching this Central Region overlord.
At such a moment…
The Western Daoist Master of Jinguo, Yu Xi, suddenly appeared in Sheng Country’s Jiangzhou City, representing the Jing Emperor to attend the birthday banquet of Sheng Country’s Empress Dowager, and personally presented a gift. One must know that due to the battle of Li Yuan City, this banquet had originally been canceled!
Moreover, the Commander of the Dou E Army, ranked first among Jing Bajia, True Monarch Yu Que, even personally went to the capital city of Xiang Country to admire the giant elephants at Wanhe Temple!
At such a sensitive time, two True Monarchs from Jinguo went abroad in succession, nearing two battlefields, making Jinguo’s stance extremely clear—
They intend to use two victories to silence the world!
…
…
Jinguo made no statement whatsoever about the Mirror World Platform wrongfully accusing the Yellow River Leader, Jiang Wang.
It was as if they had the demeanor of “let the east, west, south, and north winds blow.”
But merely with the departure of two True Monarchs from Jinguo, the world’s public opinion was already quietly beginning to change.
Voices began to emerge saying: “The matter of Jiang Wang shedding the charge of communicating with demons is merely Qi Country’s attempt to challenge Jinguo’s strategy. Yu Beidou had long intended to take over the Star Observation Tower, and this time he bet his reputation to curry favor with Qi Country. It’s all just transactions! Since ancient times, how many aspirants have attempted to challenge Jinguo? The Yang Country, which once united the Eastern Region, also marched westward back then, where are they now? Qi Country is bound to repeat the same mistakes!”
Others said: “The Triple Punishment Palace has wanted to compete for the first prominent learning for a long time, but didn’t know how to compare with the Taoist Sect? This statement is indeed somewhat suspicious…”
More people said: “Yu Beidou is eager to restore the status of Life Prediction Technique, so it’s not surprising to do anything. For instance, Jiang Wang’s legendary battle record this time… might also be fabricated to some extent.”
Although Jinguo seemed silent, the number of people speaking for Jinguo under heaven was countless.
It’s like earlier, when Jinguo publicly declared Jiang Wang suspected of communicating with demons, needing to be captured and publicly tried at Jade Capital Mountain, but without releasing any evidence, the whole world was already condemning Jiang Wang.
At many times, Jinguo can almost be equated to truth.
Every move has countless followers.
This is the profound influence left by Jinguo, which has been in an absolutely strong position for thousands of years in the present world, not something that can be easily changed overnight.
…
…
The discussion about Jiang Wang on the Star Moon Plain has actually never ceased,
This war that gathered the young geniuses from both Jinguo and Qi Country’s forces made Jiang Wang, though absent, remain the focus of discussion among the young geniuses.
In the military camp, Wen Lianmu deliberated again and again, finally speaking, “Actually, this, the so-called comprehension of the Way has order, and different fields have their specialties…”
Wang Yiwu said impassively: “I’m the first at Tongtian, the first at Teng Long, and also the first in the Inner Mansion. As for ‘specialties,’ my specialty is combat.”
“Haha, seems like that’s true haha.” Wen Lianmu scratched his head, his thoughts spinning rapidly, finally finding another reason: “On the Guanhe Platform, with clouds of geniuses colliding with each other, it’s natural to spark many inspirations. At that time, you were in the army and couldn’t ascend the Guanhe Platform, missing many opportunities. If not for that, you should have also…”
Wang Yiwu, looking at the military report in his hand, said casually: “The reason I couldn’t go to the Guanhe Platform is that I lost to him at East Street and was then grounded.”
In Wen Lianmu’s view, the more casual Wang Yiwu acted, the more it showed he cared inside. Wiping the cold sweat, he quickly made excuses for him, “You can’t say that, in that instance, you fought Zhongxuan Sheng and that Shisi first, then fought Jiang Wang, it’s inevitable to be somewhat exhausted, unable to show your peak performance…”
Wang Yiwu finally glanced at him, “After fighting Zhongxuan Sheng, I was exhausted? Are you sure you want to insult me like this?”
“Ahem! I actually wanted to say…” Wen Lianmu felt his head about to explode, held back for a moment, and hesitated, “Today’s times differ from the past. Your Divine Skills need time to grow and experiences to supplement. In the future… the days are long!”
Wang Yiwu smiled sarcastically, “Don’t underestimate the young’s poverty, don’t underestimate the middle-aged’s poverty, then in old age don’t force, and when dead, it’s significant?”
“…That’s not exactly what I meant.” Wen Lianmu said with a face full of contradiction, “I’m saying… when the time comes, heaven and earth will assist, and even if the luck goes, heroes… will always have opportunities!”
“Alright, alright.” Wang Yiwu waved his hand, “Falling behind a step is just falling behind a step; it’s no big deal. Others can lag behind, why can’t I, Wang Yiwu, as if I’m some son of heavenly fate, not fall behind a step?”
He looked at Wen Lianmu very dissatisfied, “But you don’t have to keep reminding me, right?!”
“Hehe, hehe.” Wen Lianmu scratched the back of his head and laughed foolishly.
He was certainly concerned that Jiang Wang’s first Inner Mansion battle record in all history might break Wang Yiwu’s battle spirit, hence his various attempts at this end to find excuses.
Yet for a while he forgot…
What makes Wang Yiwu who he is!
That truly powerful genius, who reached today through military exercises and overcame numerous challenges before earning the name of being invincible at the same realm.
What allowed him to reach today wasn’t others’ flattery, but a pair of iron fists and a resolute heart.
So, was he worried about Wang Yiwu’s damaged battle spirit, or was it himself, recoiling upon seeing those legendary battle records?
Was he finding excuses for Wang Yiwu, or trying to console himself?
In the Inner Mansion Realm, defeating four peak Outer Building Human Demons… just how can such a feat be accomplished?
Already knowing the battle result, back-calculating the process, yet still unable to think of how it was done!
“Let’s go.” Wang Yiwu placed down the military report in his hand, “The vanguard has already been engaging perfunctorily for several rounds, let’s go see what’s discussed in today’s military council.”
Wen Lianmu pursed his lips, “It’s always those perfunctory matters, Fang You would love for the war to continue being this painless.”
“After all, it’s one’s own troops, and every death is a reduction, of course he’d want to make a perfunctory alliance with Lian Jingzhi.” Wang Yiwu explained for him, then said coldly, “But it’s not up to him.”
The two stood and walked outside the military tent.
The so-called ‘perfunctory alliance’ is a tactic in chess to stall for time through repeated meaningless threats to maintain the situation, often prohibited.
The Grand Marshal of Xiang Country, Lian Jingzhi, and the Grand Marshal of Xu Country, Fang You, have been in perfect harmony lately, with many battles fought but few deaths.
This, of course, did not escape the eyes of Wen Lianmu and Wang Yiwu.
Having grown up in the military, they could easily tell whether a battle was fought earnestly or not, at a glance.
The two Inner Mansion geniuses casually commented on a top-tier God Arrives, a renowned world general, with some disdain… This scene was a bit reckless. But they were used to it, and even if Fang You himself heard it, he probably would pretend not to.
This is the gap between Qi Country and Xu Country.
No number of realms can bridge it.
The Legalist sage Han Shentu stated in his world-renowned “Theory of Power”: “Strong nation’s children, wielding sharp weapons in the weak nation’s market, none dare oppose. Is it the weapon they fear, or the children?”
The next line provides the answer—
“They fear the nation’s strength!”
The matters of the world are no more than this.
