Chapter Seventy-Seven: 'If Heaven Does Not Grant It, Th
n efforts.For any command from Dugu Xiao, Hu Shuanzi was the most resolute executor. Initially, it was under his influence that others gradually began to acknowledge Dugu Xiao's leadership.But that wa...With Heaven and Earth united, Jiang Wang gazed at his sword as if it were a mirror reflecting his own being. Its cold light shimmered like water, its surface calm and unruffled.
This legendary blade, named Hoshiro, has been sheathed for many years. While its name is known throughout the land, its sharpness is a forgotten legend!
Since the destruction of Nandou Palace, Changsheng Jun seized the name and disappeared into seclusion. Perhaps even his name is no longer remembered by anyone.
From now on, Heaven will reveal it.
The sword's tempering pattern is naturally formed, always resembling two scenes of spring. One side is blooming flowers under the moonlight, the other is the moon rising above willow branches. Only with intense love can one truly see the profound happiness.
Beneath the flowers and moon, that scene is played out in the eyes of the sun and moon.
The bright moon has hung in the sky since ancient times, its cold light falling on the world. Looking at these infatuated men and women, countless throughout human history.
But facing the true self, Jiang Wang saw a side of him like the moon rising above willow branches.
>
The moon shines on the willow branches, and people make appointments after dusk.
Though named "Jiang Wang," his true self was anything but restrained.
This sword's unsheathed, a pact of life and death.
That blade, thin as paper, carved a path of perilous destiny. It leaped beyond countless sword techniques, using its edge as pen and the power of heaven as ink, to write "Jiang Wang" as the final chapter of his life.
>
He understood Jiang Wang too well. Every sword style he was proficient in, Jiang Wang also mastered. Ordinary methods were impossible to win against this "true self." To gain a decisive advantage, one had to use "being" to overcome "non-being," using the mastery of Heaven and Man over the Dao to crush the perverse and rebellious nature that defied the Dao.
Therefore, this is the resulting formula.
Heaven's Dao Slaying Sword Heaven Does Not Spare A Single Year.
In ages past, many heroes held grand ambitions. Alas, time was not on their side, leaving them with unfulfilled yearnings and a heavy heart. Their lofty aspirations could never be realized.
All things have a lifespan, and the limit of life is the most dangerous pass under heaven.
From being illuminated by the divine to comprehending the true nature of the world, from mastering the ultimate Dao to transcending its peak, every step is a challenge to one's own limits and the boundaries of Heaven's Mandate. Therefore, each step is a life-or-death ordeal, and with each successful crossing, one's lifespan is expanded, experiencing a decisive shift in their allotted years.
All things in the world have a lifespan determined by the cycles of heaven.
Therefore, celestial beings and humans, as the most understanding of "lifespans," are naturally so. It's just that due to the limitations of "Jiang Wang" in this way, it's not exaggerated. If there were some time to wander through the Dao, whether it was wandering through emptiness or revisiting Xuan Chu Liang's profound teachings, they would be insignificant before Jiang Wang, who embodies the celestial Dao.
Tian Ren Jiang Wang has fallen into the depths of the Heavenly Dao, completely returning to it. Although he is currently imprisoned in his heart, unable to directly communicate with the Heavenly Dao, he still possesses the innate ability to manipulate life and death. In this unprecedented cage fight that shook ancient and modern times, he instantly transforms this ability into an unparalleled killing move.
Rejecting the consequences of acting like a god, I shall repay them with this sword!
The road ahead you must walk, the span of your life you should not seek.
The blade is as thin as paper, yet its life is even more fragile than that of paper.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
A sword on its journey, is a straight line with no bends. Destiny dictates, heaven spares none.
No matter how valiant a hero you are, no match in the world... Your lifespan is at an end!
And that's all, folks.
At that moment, the entire world seemed to fade and blur. Even the two warring figures became part of the background.
Only this clear thread of destiny, jumping out of the river of fate— "True me, Jiang Wang, lives and dies here."
When Bo Xinglang reached the end of this line, the story ended.
But this line, which should have been straight, suddenly had a bulge, like the vast land, something was about to break through the soil, and then was abruptly flattened! But this bulge, like a blast of the attacking horn, from then on, this life path no longer remained peaceful.
A sea of points flickers online, like an endless stream of people who have come and gone throughout history. They sprout up like mushrooms after a rain, constantly rising and falling... until finally, one emerges, standing straight before the irreversible path of life. It is a stubborn silhouette of longing that refuses to bend.
It broke through the heavens' blockade and faced off against Bo Xinglang.
...like a sudden peak, resembling a warrior guarding the pass.
If one were to say that the final chapter of this life is about to be written, the writing should resemble a mountain – not flat and uninteresting! There should be ups and downs, waves and turbulence. The river of fate should have some rapids and whirlpools. A heroic epic wouldn't be ordinary, would it
This is a confrontation of swords, but also a clash of principles. It's a challenge launched by humanity against the heavens.
The path laid out by heaven is a straight one, visible to the end, leading to death without a curve. But just before the final sentence, a treacherous peak suddenly rises, disrupting this smooth journey—a solitary, snow-covered peak stands tall and alone, the road lies beneath my feet, "I" am the mountain.
All mortals will die, how many people in the world can live a long life

But have people ever stopped their steps, and has mankind ever ceased to struggle
Throughout history, there have been few who have achieved transcendence. Yet, beneath the feet of every transcendent being, countless figures strive to climb.
From birth to death, or a long or short life, how many people have tried their best to write down more or less grandeur.

Even if they haven't achieved great feats, or "heaven doesn't favor years," how can we say they aren't heroes
This is the true self, Jiang Wang, unleashed from the torrent of humanity as one sword.
The Blade of Mercy... I shall take it myself!
When arguing with others, it's about vying for power, intent, paths, and logic.
>Compete with the heavens for fortune, the strong always prevail.
To vie with heaven for one's fate, to snatch a thread of life.

Whatever heaven does not give, I seek for myself.
Breaking through the Heavenly Dao's blockade is just the beginning, sword against sword, clashing on the path of destiny's dead end.
The clash of blades echoed, each a weapon against the other, their sounds commanding all in its wake. Swords, spears, and halberds met in a million clashes within an instant! The cold light of the crossing blades flickered, grasped by heaven and man, then seized by true selves, weaving a complex net of light between two figures.
Tianren Jiang Wang can perfectly express the sound and sight of enlightenment, and Zhen Me Jiang Wang can perfectly express "Jiang Wang" in battle. Both sides can reach the limit within the confines of "Jiang Wang," witnessing each other's skills and being unable to harm each other. Therefore, this is only a ripple effect from this battle, a small technique.
The true killing move... the sparks bursting from the clashing blades, momentarily filling the void. Suddenly, one spark leaped up, transforming into a burning moon.
This month's gibbous moon is tricolored, with gold inside, red outside and white in between. Its crescent shape resembles a knife, and as soon as it appears, it seems to be right above us, shining brightly into our eyes!
The second star, the third star, the fourth star...a whole shower of stars are revealed.

For a moment, the sky was filled with countless moons, each burning fiercely and cleaving heaven and earth. They roared in and engulfed everything, cutting off all return.
Combining what is seen with supernatural insight.
Divine Technique: True Fire Blazes the Moon!
At this moment, the blades were still clashing. Tian Ren Jiang Wang maintained the posture of carving out one's fate, merely raising his Xue Yue eyes slightly—a wisp of frost wind flew out from his pupils. It then swirled like a tornado, enveloping all the blazing moons in the sky.
Although it is the flowing wind, it has an eternal form, spinning into a cage, barring the fierce flames. Not a single wisp of fire is allowed to pass through the wind.
Spell·Immovable Heavenly Wind!
The raging fire consumed the moon, swelling and bursting into an infinite torrent of flames, attempting to break through the barrier. Yet within the frost-filled winds, frost and snow continuously extinguished the flames. Finally, with a low, muffled groan, the Burning Moon Fire and the Immovable Heavenly Wind... vanished together.
And the clash between Chang Xiangsi and Bo Xinglang continues.

One cuts downwards from top to bottom, and the other cuts sideways from left to right.
Thus, swords missed swords, each walking their own path for a lifetime.
Thin and ill-fated, the sword trembled. This scene of "Moon Above Willow Branches," a spring vista, had come to an end. Tianren Jiangwang passed by, their paths crossing without recognition, leaving behind a sky filled with frigid light, all directed at the true Jiangwang. After countless twists and turns of tenderness, there remained only a resolute departure, a figure that vanished forever!
The long sword, like a heartless man, leaves emptiness wherever its cold light passes.
Countless causal lines were severed, to peel the "true self" into a solitary "self," stripping away his resistance.
This is the "Emptiness" sword.
Zhen Mi Jiang Wang unexpectedly did not retreat but advanced instead, wielding his sword to pursue. With one strike, he plunged into the myriad of icy blades, and with another strike, he cleared away all the icy blades!
In this life, loving whom, hating whom, thinking of whom, and resenting whom are all our own choices, not predetermined by fate.
This is the sword of "ego".
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Tian Ren Jiang Wang wielded his sword to paint the landscape, destined to sever his life path. Yet, the true self, Jiang Wang, rose from the depths of the cliff and leaped out of the mire. The path twisted and turned, revealing a bright future amidst the willows and flowers.
After the confrontation in the Void Realm, both sides no longer used the "Jiang Wang" technique.
Because all the power of past "Jiang Wang" is useless to the present "Jiang Wang".
Bo Xing Lang and Chang Xiang Si, Heavenly Dao's sword versus Human Dao's sword, Buddhist Dharma versus Immortal Dharma, Bu Zhou Feng versus San Mei Zhen Huo, even "Emptiness" versus "Ego," each side explores and confronts the other in their respective philosophical frameworks…Both sides engage in a comprehensive confrontation across various aspects like power, cultivation, and comprehension.
These new killing moves demonstrate the growth each side has shown after the fateful division of their destinies!
Past claims of "strongest" are no longer definitive.
Because for a true peerless genius, all information about power is outdated!
Tianren Jiangwang and Zhenwo Jiangwang not only need to fully unleash their respective powers, but also to progress as quickly as possible during this battle.
>
Whoever can surpass "ego" faster in this battle, will be able to achieve the final victory.
Truly, Jiang Wang with the sword of "ego" relentlessly pursues Heaven and Man. In the void, in the ever-emptying web of cause and effect, he forcibly creates causality.
Longing resembles a solitary boat adrift, sailing through the vast sea of "緣空," relentlessly pursuing the celestial being Jiang Wang who is gradually drifting away.
The melon is unripe, and the stem hasn't fallen yet. Don't force it.
Mind you, whether you're indifferent or heartless!
Just at this moment, the true self, Jiang Wang, suddenly felt a sense of alert. The celestial being, Jiang Wang, also had a stir in his heart.
Faced with this spiritual warning, the perception of danger, True Self Jiang Wang had no retreat, but instead saw an opportunity. When the enemy showed danger, it was precisely when they revealed their weaknesses. Otherwise, there would be no way to determine the victor - The crimson eyes burned fiercely, as if lit by fire, the heartfire ignited on the sword. True Self Jiang Wang moved like a soaring crane, rushing towards the left front where the vigilance was heaviest, lifting his sword in an arc, like the rising sun!
Tian Ren Jiang Wang also suddenly folded his body at this moment, with a sword sweeping white flames, celestial fire attached to the sword, severing the dust of fate!
...and in the end, all came to nothing.
Truly, Jiang Wang raised his sword and pointed it at empty space. He swiftly flipped backward in the air like a soaring dragon. As he turned around, he appeared as if a tiger lay dormant on a mountain.
Tian Dao Jiang Wang's sword stroke was empty, narrowly missing his target and almost injuring himself. He quickly regained his balance, shifting his weight to counter the force of the attack. His sword stood upright in front of him, like a rhinoceros charging with its horns.

Two figures stand face to face once more, on opposite sides of this heart prison.
This scene looked very comical.
The two most powerful masters in the world, unexpectedly attacked at empty space, their killing moves aimed at nothing, they were even worse than children playing with swords.
But towards each other, there was a newfound sense of seriousness.
A thought can lead to loss, a single idea can be wrong.
Wrong! Wrong!
Both parties have gone astray!
In Tianren Jiangwang's golden sun eyes, there were silver fish swimming. In his silver moon eyes, there were golden fish swimming. This pair of yin-yang fish in the sun and moon eyes, circling each other from afar, disappeared into themselves.
And in the crimson eyes of the true self, Jiang Wang, a black and white yin-yang fish swayed slowly, as if sinking into the red sea.
Both Heaven-Human Jiang Wang and True Self Jiang Wang possess everything that belongs to "Jiang Wang," including the knowledge, insights, and thoughts of a life named "Jiang Wang," this physical body, and even their divine abilities!
But at the moment of their birth, they also had differences.
Just as Tiānrén Jiāng Wàng wielded the sword "Tiān Bù Jiǎ Nián" to strike down Zhēn Wǒ Jiāng Wàng, he was deceiving Zhēn Wǒ and the Dao of Heaven for going against each other, making it difficult to discern one's lifespan.
To abandon Heaven and humanity is to lose the support of the Heavenly Way.
And if we abandon our true selves, what do we lose
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Of course it's "me".
Love is the power of the heart.
Therefore, everything that Tianren Jiang Wang possessed, integrating all Dharma, encompassed supernatural powers. This included the Samadhi True Fire, the Unrivaled Wind, the Sword Immortal, and even the Deviant Path. The only thing it did not include was "Pure Heart."
In principle, whether it is Tianren Jiangwang or Zhenwo Jiangwang, both can avoid the wrong path divine powers!
Zhen Mi Jiang Wang possesses a heart of sincerity and divine insight, capable of guiding those astray.
Tian Ren Jiang Wang only follows the rules of Heaven and Earth, he would never have a choice, nor would he be influenced by the wrong path.
But they knew each other too well, and were too skilled in battle.
>
At almost the same moment, as they passed each other in a chase, they considered that instant to be an excellent opportunity for battle.
Tian Ren Jiang Wang used the illusory power of Qi Tu Shen Tong to create a dangerous situation, bypassing the protection of Chi Xin Shen Tong. This forced Zhen Wo Jiang Wang into a natural and instinctive battle.
True Self Jiang Wang then used the divine powers of a misguided path to disrupt the celestial order within the Heart Prison, leading Tianren Jiang Wang to launch an inevitable attack according to the celestial order.
>Because all of this was happening simultaneously, both sides strangely missed their mark, each hacking at empty air. Their subsequent string of attacks were all halted before they could connect, due to their own "misses."
And all their killing moves were wasted.
It's not just that "Heart Fire" and "Heaven Fire" each individually wield their devastating sword techniques. It's also that both sides influence each other's trump cards through their divergent paths, ultimately failing to create the advantage they should have. From then on, neither has any chance of being effective.
All that is meant to end will come to an end.
A tiny prison of the heart, vast like the universe. Limitless and boundless, even if heaven and earth collapse, nothing can escape from within. Even the most intense struggles are contained there.
At this moment, the true me, Jiang Wangjian, stands with my red eyes gleaming and sword drawn, positioned in the northwest. I look down from a height.
Heaven and man, Jiang Wang stood with his sword facing southeast. He rose to meet the heavens, his blade thin as paper, splitting the eyes of the sun and moon.
This battle is far from over, or perhaps neither side has found a way to end it yet.
This is Jiang Wang's first time truly facing himself.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Only when facing Jiang Wang can one truly know how powerful "Jiang Wang" truly is.
Only then can one understand the torment of facing such an opponent when confronted with those former enemies!
He never excelled on paper, but in the stories of the past, in his life experiences. He didn't need to put himself forward; his enemies naturally became annotations!
Brilliant tactical acumen, unmatched combat instincts. Every battle intent is foreseen, every killing technique deciphered. Any power displayed will be rendered ineffective a second time… In battle, nearly flawless, relentlessly exploiting your mistakes! Your torrential assault is impenetrable, but a single lapse in judgment could lead to an irreversible fall.
How do you defeat such an opponent
Whether it is the celestial being Jiang Wang or the true self Jiang Wang, they both must once again examine themselves and carefully reconsider this battle!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
But thinking should not affect combat.
Thinking itself is a kind of battle!
He who cannot cut through the clutter and focus on battle, will be disturbed by factors outside of it, and he who is thus distracted shall be ready to be slain!
So after each side had taken their turns, with a mere glance they charged at each other once more.
Facing such an opponent, many people wouldn't even have the qualification to think.
Because even time spent thinking should be fought for, like on the battlefield.
True Self, Jiang Wang, strides like a dragon ascending to heaven. A sword flashes from before his eyes, transforming his crimson pupils into golden ones. His long hair flows and dances wildly. In this instant, bathed in frost wind and bathed in red fire, the light of the Heavenly Palace illuminates everything. Sword energy surges around him, piercing the heavens. It is... Frost seems to connect with the sky itself, and everything is enveloped by his figure. Thousands upon thousands of sword qi resemble threads weaving across the very dome.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
And with a lunge, he plunged his sword down. The entire heart-lock dome sank with it, as if the sword had dragged the heavens down!
This sword, Heaven tilts to the northwest!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Tian Ren Jiang Wang merely raised his sword straight up. The instant the hilt passed over his forehead, he was bathed in golden light. His jade crown became a golden crown, his black hair turned to gold, as if he were a golden statue standing before them! He wore the frost wind as his cloak, but white celestial fire encircled him. His sword qi was like an abyss and the sea, roaring with unfathomable power, immeasurable and unknowable.

This is it, !
There are no immortals in heaven, they are conscripted by the heavens.
He stood still, his feet already in a deep and dark abyss, as if it were an endless void.
The tiles no longer exist, the earth has collapsed. All that was carried by the heavy loess will be exiled into the cosmos.
This sword, though raised high, caused everything seen, heard, known, and imagined to sink. This sword existed clearly, yet it was bound to erase all foundations of existence.
It is the true sword of extinction.
Everything in the heart prison was falling, even the clash of their swords, the divine energy constantly escaping during their confrontation, and even the colliding fairy thoughts... Everything was falling continuously, only the sword named "Bo Xing Lang" became clearer and clearer.
This sword, the ground sinks in the southeast!
The True Self Sword Immortal, who should have dwelled among mortals, was instead felled from the heavens. The Heavenly Dao Sword Immortal, who should have stood high above, stomped upon the mortal realm and raised his sword.
Because the heavens lean toward the northwest is due to man-made causes, while the earth sinks in the southeast, it is the collapse of heaven.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The two met in the void, light and sound alike extinguished.
In such a terrifying standoff.
The heavens and earth seemed to have limits now.
The heavens tore open a corner and plummeted downwards, while the earth heaved upwards, lifting a corner. In that instant as they met, heaven and earth swirled together in confusion.
Everything is muddled together, distinctions between right and wrong blurred, day and night indistinguishable.
Within the heart's prison, I stand as chaos!
Everything is gone!
Only Tianren Jiang Wang and Zhenwo Jiang Wang remained gazing at each other.
In the midst of chaos, transcend all and gaze beyond.
Crimson eyes met with the sun and moon's pupils.
The Way of Heaven follows a predetermined perfect trajectory.
My true desire is to grasp every possibility, even those that seem impossible!
“I don't feel this is the limit at all——” In his crimson eyes that shone with immortality, blazed a fierce emotion. The true self of Jiang Wangyuan was more intense than usual. He let out a long roar, intoxicated by what he heard today: “There’s still a path ahead!”
He charged forward in the chaos, sword raised!
