Free Web NovelChapter 1151: Chapter 365 All Nations Scenery Comes Here_4
At this moment, purposely speaking in broken sentences and releasing information bit by bit was indeed a subtle form of "revenge."
It was also a display of intimacy.
The horse’s hooves crossed the final stone step, and Jiang Wang truly stood atop the Guanhe Platform.
The first thing he felt was solemnity.
On this ancient and massive stone platform, it seemed as if the long river of history was flowing before his eyes.
The glorious, vibrant, great, and surging... countless histories.
At this moment, they resonated through millions of years to meet with the posterity.
He seemed to see countless forebears, who, through toil and simple beginnings, created step by step the foundation of the Human Race.
He also felt the gravity of the phrase, "Human Emperor drives the Dragon Emperor to the Cang Sea."
Numerous images turned in his mind like lanterns.
These were the marks left by grand times on this platform of glory, beautiful gifts from the heroic history of the Human Race to those who would follow.
Jiang Wang was deeply moved by a sense of grandeur and remained so for a long time.
His heart swelled with emotion as though he had a thousand words to say.
Yet in the face of this moment and this scene, he found it difficult to utter a single sentence.
When he came back to his senses, Yan Zhao had already brought him to Qi Country’s designated area.
The Guanhe Platform was a colossal circular platform.
Originally empty, now many structures had been erected in just these past few days.
Pavilions, towers, and buildings were all present.
"Scenes of all nations converge here," Jiang Wang had heard such a phrase before, and now he couldn’t help but murmur it.
Overnight, a "platform" city seemingly sprung from nowhere, each construction reflecting their own thoughts and extravagance.
Jing, Qin, Qi, Chu, Jing, and Mu, aligned in six directions, dividing the Guanhe Platform.
The positions of other nations on earth were scattered among these six nations.
Some vassal states and tributary states even directly moved into the areas belonging to their overlord nations.
Many independent countries, such as Wei Country and Qu Country, were establishing their own bases.
On the Guanhe Platform, the positions occupied by the various nations differed from their current world positions.
Jinguo and Jingguo were both located in the west, Mugu and Chuguo were both in the north, while Qi Country and Qing Country were both in the south.
To the east, facing the section of the Yellow River, space had been left clear...
Jiang Wang guessed that maybe it was left for the Long River Dragon Palace.
In the very center of the Guanhe Platform stood six towering stone pillars, as if penetrating the clouds and enclosing a vast space.
That was where the scions of the countries were going to compete.
Around the stone pillars, faint Taoist patterns were visible. Inside the pillars, nothing could be seen clearly.
At this moment, Jiang Wang felt a second sensation, that of "vastness."
This was indeed the greatest platform of the current age, no other scenic platform could even come close to comparing to the Guanhe Platform.
Cao Jie suddenly said, "You know, ’Scenes of all nations converge here,’ do you know what the next line is?"
Jiang Wang shook his head honestly, "I don’t know."
Cao Jie said, "It’s all fleeting like clouds and smoke, only the Long River remains the same."
Looking around, he added, "See these pavilions and towers? They were built overnight. But when we leave here, they will also disappear overnight."
"Disappear? Vanquished by whom?" Jiang Wang couldn’t help but ask.
"Vanquished by this Guanhe Platform," Ji Zhaonan interjected from the side. "The reason they can be built now is merely due to the suppression by the powerhouses of Jingguo. With countless spirits here, how could it allow people to inhabit?"
Jiang Wang felt his lips go a bit dry, "Whose spirits?"
"How can we talk about it here?" Cao Jie said, "Telling you the next line is to remind you not to be dazzled by what you see."
The words carried an implicit warning.
Jiang Wang said earnestly, "This junior has taken the lesson to heart."
Now before them stood a tall archway, and on the stone tablet above, there was only the character for "Qi."
Behind the arch, there were various buildings styled after Qi Country, essentially a "small Linzi."
These buildings had been prepared in advance by a group of Heavenly Cover Soldiers while they had been resting in Fengcheng, Fertility Country.
While not possessing the mechanical skills of the Mo Gate, it was not difficult for the vast Qi Country to find several master builders.
The following days would not just involve them staying here.
If armies from vassal states like Xu Country and Zhao Country came to the Guanhe Platform, they would also stay amongst these buildings.
Cao Jie took the lead on "Qi Street," casually saying, "You can also wander around, but there are many eyes here. Remember to take a group of soldiers with you if you decide to leave."
Ji Zhaonan and Zhongxuan Zun went straight ahead, clearly uninterested in meandering.
Jiang Wang had never deliberately concealed his origins from Zhuang Country, and for a personage like Cao Jie, it was hardly a secret.
What had happened and what Jiang Wang had experienced in his hometown was not important to Qi Country.
Qi Country cared about the present Jiang Qingyang from Green Sheep Town, his loyalty, and his future. freewebnøvel.coɱ
This troop of soldiers was essentially a guard of honor and also for show.
It represented that wherever Jiang Wang went, Qi Country was his backing.
Of course, should any disputes truly arise, this troop possessed considerable combat strength. They could form a military array at any moment, displaying the foremost killing power of nine soldiers.
Jiang Wang did not know if Zhuang Country had sent participants to the Yellow River Gathering this time.
But if they had, no matter who was leading,
He could bring this group of soldiers to show off his might.
Even facing Zhuang Gaoxian in person, no one on this Guanhe Platform would dare to harm him.
But then...
Was it his, Jiang Qingyang’s, intention to show off his might?
Was it to show off only under the circumstances where Qi Country gave him support?
Jiang Wang did not hesitate for long, and following the others...
He stepped into "Qi Street."
