《My Nine Female Apprentices Are The Most Powerful People》 Chapter 1 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The Nine Heavens. This was a place where all the cultivators dreamed of ascending. In this place, everyone could catch the stars, the sun, and the moon in their hands! Crossing the void and summoning wind and rain was child¡¯s play. There were two forces in the Nine Heavens. One was the Star Establishment Sect founded by the ascenders, while the other was the Ninth Heaven Sect. Among the two groups, the Star Establishment Sect was able to subdue the Ninth Heaven Sect by relying on its founder, the overgod of heavens, Jiang Chen. However, there was a limit to one¡¯s power. Facing the twenty-four Immortal Kings, Jiang Chen knew he wouldn¡¯t be able to escape this battle today. Although he wasn¡¯t afraid of the strength of the twenty-four Immortal Kings, his divine power wouldn¡¯t last forever and his dao would eventually vanish. However, Jiang Chen was already prepared to die. The battle was so intense that it turned the sky and earth pitch-black, and the ancient ruins almost collapsed! Jiang Chen didn¡¯t know how long the battle lasted, but in the end, he ran out of his divine power and died of exhaustion. ¡°After 5,000 years, I, Jiang Chen, have already reached the end of my path?¡± At the last moment, when he closed his eyes, Jiang Chen thought that his divine soul had also disappeared along with the twenty-four Immortal Kings¡¯ final attack. However, what Jiang Chen didn¡¯t know was that his soul didn¡¯t disappear after his death. Instead, he left the ancient ruins directly and went to the place where he had been before he ascended ¡ª Red Sun Continent. ¡­ Red Sun Continent, the True Martial Sect. Jiang Chen¡¯s soul directly possessed an ordinary disciple who had just died. This disciple¡¯s name was also Jiang Chen! When Jiang Chen possessed this disciple, his consciousness gradually recovered, but he wasn¡¯t able to regain consciousness for the time being. Naturally, the memories of this disciple possessed by Jiang Chen were also controlled by him. ¡°Red Sun Continent? True Martial Sect? Isn¡¯t this the sect I established before I ascended?¡± ¡°Hahaha. I, Jiang Chen, didn¡¯t die!¡± ¡°Heavens will not let me die!¡± ¡°All twenty-four Immortal Kings, wash your necks and wait. The moment I, Jiang Chen, return to the Nine Heavens, I will definitely dye the sky red with your blood!¡± However, what Jiang Chen needed to do now was to fuse his holy soul with this body as soon as possible. Therefore, Jiang Chen didn¡¯t waste any more time. He focused his mind and started to fuse his soul with this body. As he began to fuse, a strong wind suddenly blew over, and dark clouds filled the sky. In the blink of an eye, the dark clouds turned into blood-red clouds. Boom! Boom! Thunder and lightning roared as if they were congratulating Jiang Chen for his rebirth. The moment the phenomenon appeared, the triennial assessment of outer disciples, which had been going on, was forced to stop. The crowd looked towards the outermost area. They all focused on the disciple who had been possessed by Jiang Chen and caused the heaven and earth phenomenon. It was unknown whether he was alive or dead. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Such a heaven-defying phenomenon hasn¡¯t appeared in the Red Sun Continent for thousands of years. What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Go and inform the sect leader and the third elder to come and investigate!¡± The outer sect¡¯s Elder Li looked at a guard behind him and ordered in a low voice. ¡°There¡¯s no need. Such a huge commotion has occurred within the sect. As soon as we heard it, the three elders and I rushed over immediately.¡± Hearing this, Elder Li immediately looked in the direction of the voice. He saw an old man with white hair, wearing a Daoist robe, and a sage-like demeanor slowly walking over. He was the current sect leader of the True Martial Sect, Ye Qizheng. The three old men behind Ye Qizheng were the three elders of the True Martial Sect. ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader and Elders.¡± Elder Li of the outer sect hurried to bow and paid his respects. ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader and Elders!¡± The disciples followed him and also bowed in unison. Ye Qizheng nodded. He then walked through the crowd and went straight to Jiang Chen, who was still unconscious. Looking at the mark of the natural phenomenon on Jiang Chen¡¯s forehead, Ye Qizheng was sure that it was caused by the disciple before him. Then, he looked up at the sky. ¡°The appearance of such a natural phenomenon is usually accompanied by the appearance of a peerless genius. Is the True Martial Sect going to rise?¡± The more he thought about it, the more excited Ye Qizheng became. The wrinkles on his face seemed to have almost disappeared at this moment. ¡°Haha! Sect Leader, the heaven and earth phenomenon belongs to the disciples of our True Martial Sect.¡± ¡°A new hope has finally appeared for us old fellows!¡± The three great elders followed closely behind and spoke one after another with trembling voices. Just as the sect leader and the group of elders were shocked by the heaven and earth phenomenon. In the martial arts practice arena of the True Martial Sect, there was a huge statue standing in the center. A wisp of broken spirit was trembling nonstop. It didn¡¯t seem like it was afraid, but more like it was excited and agitated! This statue was none other than the founder of the True Martial Sect, Jiang Chen. He was also known as the overgod of heavens! This remnant soul was naturally left in the statue when Jiang Chen had ascended. Jiang Chen¡¯s remnant soul slowly woke up after sensing his aura! In an instant, a golden light suddenly burst out from this huge ancient statue and enveloped its huge body! At this moment, the space seemed to have been distorted! Thunder and lightning surged, becoming increasingly violent. It looked just like a lively child. The moment the statue changed, the entire True Martial Sect was once again attracted to it. ¡°This¡­ the statue of our ancestor has also appeared. It¡¯s been 5,000 years, and the statue of our ancestor has finally appeared.¡± ¡°Haha, this is auspicious!¡± ¡°Within a day, not only did our True Martial Sect gain a peerless genius who could make the phenomenon of heaven and earth appear, even the statue of our ancestor has appeared¡­ This is the ancestor who will protect our True Martial Sect!¡± Sect Master Ye Qizheng seemed to have gone mad as he raised his head to look at the huge statue standing in the middle of the training arena and laughed crazily. ¡°Sect Leader, what¡¯s wrong? Why does it look a little strange?¡± A disciple asked in puzzlement. ¡°If it were you, I think you would be even crazier than the sect leader.¡± ¡°Do you know whose statue is this?¡± When the surrounding disciples heard this, they shook their heads with a blank expression, as if they did not know anything. The inquisitive disciple rolled his eyes and continued, ¡°This statue is of the founder of our True Martial Sect, who is also our first sect leader!¡± He continued with a face full of admiration, ¡°The most important thing is that our first sect leader was the overlord who ruled the entire Red Sun Continent 5,000 years ago. Our True Martial Sect was also the number one sect in the entire continent a few thousand years ago.¡± ¡°Sigh! It¡¯s just that now¡­¡± This disciple no longer continued. His expression, which was previously full of admiration, had also turned sorrowful.. Chapter 2 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation 5,000 years ago, the True Martial Sect was superior to any force and was a behemoth in the whole Red Sun Continent. However, this was just a prosperous time when Jiang Chen hadn¡¯t ascended to the Nine Heavens! After Jiang Chen ascended, the sect leader of the True Martial Sect¡¯s strength declined greatly. Unfortunately, after the fall of the previous sect leader, the True Martial Sect had declined from being a behemoth to a mere ninth-grade sect. Back then, it used to have countless disciples all over the continent, and there were many geniuses among them. But now, there were only a hundred disciples in the entire True Martial Sect. One could imagine how dilapidated the sect had now become. Now that the sect leader, Ye Qizheng, had personally witnessed the heaven and earth phenomenon triggered by a disciple and the awakening of the statue of the first ancestor in the sect, how could he not be excited? Even his eyes were filled with tears. ¡°Our True Martial Sect is facing an internal and external crisis. Facing the oppression of other sects, we can finally rise up from today onwards. Haha!¡± The sect leader, Ye Qizheng, was crying tears of joy as he muttered to himself. At this moment, the huge statue in the middle of the training arena, which was shrouded in golden light, suddenly trembled. The ground started to shake. Some disciples almost lost their balance and fell to the ground. While everyone was looking for the source of the tremors, they heard several loud, muffled sounds. Boom! Boom! Several cracks suddenly appeared on Jiang Chen¡¯s statue. As the cracks spread, the whole statue collapsed. When it hit the ground, it turned into powder and disappeared into thin air. Although the statue had disappeared, the golden light still lingered. It condensed into a wisp of a remnant soul that looked exactly like Jiang Chen. The disciples of the True Martial Sect were completely shocked when they saw this wisp of the remnant soul appear in front of them. They rubbed their eyes and exclaimed in disbelief, ¡°Why is he so powerful? I don¡¯t even dare to breathe in front of him.¡± ¡°Me too. I even have the urge to kneel in front of him.¡± While all the disciples looked at Jiang Chen¡¯s wisp of the remnant soul with a heavy heart, Ye Qizheng and the three elders seemed shocked. Then, they suddenly knelt down on one knee and greeted. ¡°The current sect leader of the True Martial Sect, Ye Qizheng, pays his respects to the senior!¡± ¡°The current three elders of the True Martial Sect pay their respects to the senior!¡± When the disciples heard their voice, they immediately realized that it was the ancestor of their True Martial Sect! ¡°Disciples of the True Martial Sect pay their respects to the senior!¡± More than a hundred disciples knelt down at the same time and paid their respects. Jiang Chen¡¯s wisp, which was formed by his remnant soul, didn¡¯t say anything. He just glanced at the current sect leader of the True Martial Sect indifferently. When Jiang Chen¡¯s remnant soul finished looking at the sect leader of the True Martial Sect, an extremely angry expression appeared on his face. ¡°Humph! Has our True Martial Sect fallen to such a pathetic state? As the sect leader, you only have this kind of strength? Even I was stronger than you when I swept through the ground thousands of years ago!¡± ¡°Are you a good-for-nothing?¡± As soon as Jiang Chen¡¯s remnant soul finished speaking, Ye Qizheng, who was the current sect leader, was frightened to the point of trembling. And when those disciples saw that their ancestor was scolding the sect leader, they all lowered their heads and didn¡¯t dare to say a word! Ye Qizheng wanted to refute, but he knew all of this was the truth. Besides, he was facing the 5000-year-old overlord of the Red Sun Continent, and the first sect leader of the True Martial Sect. Even if he was given ten guts, Ye Qizheng wouldn¡¯t dare to say anything to this ancestor. ¡°Old Ye Qizheng knows his mistake¡­¡± Ye Qizheng spoke up respectfully. He didn¡¯t dare to deny or argue. Upon seeing the sect leader in such a state, the disciples were so frightened that they didn¡¯t dare to make any sound. When Jiang Chen¡¯s remnant soul flew into a rage, the disciples whose cultivation base wasn¡¯t high enough were already so terrified that they couldn¡¯t even stand properly. ¡°If my true body was here, I would definitely drag out all the sect leaders who are responsible for the downfall of my sect and teach them a deep lesson!¡± ¡°Yes, you¡¯re right.¡± Hearing this, Ye Qizheng¡¯s heart clenched. He had never thought that this old ancestor of his would be as overbearing as in the legends. He even had the strength to drag the dead sect leaders from hell to whip their corpses. Moreover, what realm was he at that he could even drag out the dead people¡­ The more he thought about it, the more terrified Ye Qizheng became! ¡°Senior, please calm down.¡± ¡°Now that things have become like this, do you have any other way to solve the True Martial Sect¡¯s current predicament?¡± Ye Qizheng was bowing as he asked sincerely. Jiang Chen¡¯s remnant soul fell silent for a moment. Then, he said, ¡°Since I¡¯ve awakened, I naturally have a way to solve it!¡± ¡°The situation of our True Martial Sect seems to have reached a dead-end, and it can no longer be saved. But the disciple who caused the heaven and earth phenomenon just now can help our True Martial Sect get out of this predicament!¡± ¡°He can lead our True Martial Sect back to its former glory!¡± Hearing this, Ye Qizheng was instantly overjoyed. As expected, the disciple who triggered the phenomenon was their True Martial Sect¡¯s hope. Although Ye Qizheng had already vaguely guessed it before, he still didn¡¯t expect that the ancestor¡¯s evaluation of this disciple would actually be so high. One must know that the True Martial Sect was once the behemoth of the Red Sun Continent. When they were down and out in the past, several generations of sect leaders had tried every means to restore the True Martial Sect back to its peak. However, they all ended in failure. In the end, they even exhausted the sect¡¯s fate in advance, causing it to decline even further! By the time the current sect leader of this generation arrived, he had completely given up on this idea before their old ancestor awakened. Even though the sect¡¯s disciples had triggered the heaven and earth phenomenon just now, Ye Qizheng still did not dare to imagine that the sect would recover to its peak. But now, after their ancestor had awakened and thought highly of this disciple, Ye Qizheng¡¯s buried thoughts gradually showed up again. ¡°Thank you for enlightening me, Senior. I, Ye Qizheng, will train him wholeheartedly¡­¡± Before Ye Qizheng could finish his words, Jiang Chen¡¯s remnant soul interrupted him. Train him? What a joke! The founder of the True Martial Sect, the Heavenly Sovereign God of the Nine Heavens would let a mere sect leader train a disciple thousands of years later? When his original body woke up and saw the current state of the True Martial Sect, it was already good enough if he didn¡¯t teach them a lesson. But this Ye Qizheng still dared to say that he wanted to train this disciple in front of him? ¡°You don¡¯t need to train him. You only need to give the position of the sect leader of the True Martial Sect to that disciple and listen to his instructions regarding the development of the sect!¡± Although it was just Jiang Chen¡¯s remnant soul, he still had the ability to think by himself. In order to avoid any accidents, Jiang Chen¡¯s remnant soul planned to use a part of his power to intimidate Ye Qizheng first, so that he wouldn¡¯t be disobedient when Jiang Chen¡¯s original body woke up. Right then! Jiang Chen¡¯s remnant soul slowly raised his hand and pointed at a huge mountain in the distance. All the energy contained in the remnant soul gathered together. Whoosh! Boom! An invisible energy shot out. In an instant, a huge mountain was smashed into pieces. ¡°I¡¯ve told you everything I needed to tell you. You just have to do what I said.¡± Then, Jiang Chen¡¯s remnant soul turned into a beam of light that entered the glabella of the disciple who was lying on the ground motionlessly.. Chapter 3 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Seeing the ancestor¡¯s remnant soul disappear, Ye Qizheng finally let out a deep breath. Just now, before Jiang Chen¡¯s remnant soul disappeared, he pointed a finger in the air and shattered a mountain in the distance. This kind of action would be confusing to others. But in Ye Qizheng¡¯s heart, he was very clear that Jiang Chen was worried about him, so when he entered the glabella of this disciple, he used his strength to intimidate him. Although Ye Qizheng was a bit scared, he was also glad at the same time. After all, the attack didn¡¯t hit him. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t even know how he died. Soon, the phenomenon of heaven and earth gradually disappeared. The disciple Jiang Chen, who had been unconscious for a long time, also woke up. Of course, Jiang Chen had already accepted all the memories when the remnant soul had entered his glabella. He knew what had happened when he had fused with this body. When he woke up, Jiang Chen didn¡¯t say anything. Instead, he glanced at the current True Martial Sect at once. Dilapidated! Desolate! What he saw wasn¡¯t what a sect should look like! ¡°I¡¯ve only been gone for a few thousand years, and the sect has already declined to such a state?¡± ¡°If I came back a little later, wouldn¡¯t my True Martial Sect be completely gone?¡± Jiang Chen frowned coldly. After all, it was a sect that he had spent a lot of effort to build. Besides, he had only ascended for 5,000 years, and the sect had already gone from being a behemoth to a ninth-class sect that everyone could humiliate. No matter how he thought about it, Jiang Chen was infuriated. At the same time, Ye Qizheng was curious about what kind of monster this Jiang Chen was since he had been chosen by the founder of the True Martial Sect to help the sect recover to its former peak. Ye Qizheng grabbed Jiang Chen¡¯s hand out of curiosity. He injected his qi into his body to check. It would have been better if he didn¡¯t check. He was shocked by the result. He exclaimed subconsciously, ¡°How¡­ How is this possible? He doesn¡¯t even have the aptitude to cultivate!¡± Ye Qizheng¡¯s words caused an uproar in the sect. They had heard the conversation between the sect leader and the founder of the sect clearly. Everyone knew that this Jiang Chen would be their next sect leader, and he would be a peerless genius who could lead the sect back to its peak. However, what were they hearing now? Jiang Chen didn¡¯t have any aptitude for cultivation? Not having any aptitude for cultivation meant he was a good-for-nothing, right? How could a good-for-nothing lead the sect to glory? ¡°Sect Leader, is¡­ is this true? Does he really not have any aptitude for cultivation?¡± ¡°Impossible! Senior praised him so much, how could he be a good-for-nothing?¡± Hearing the doubts of the elders and disciples, Ye Qizheng reluctantly nodded his head and said, ¡°I¡¯ve checked a few times. He really doesn¡¯t have any aptitude for cultivation!¡± At this moment, Elder Li of the outer sect also stood up and said, ¡°Sect Leader, elders, I can prove it.¡± ¡°Jiang Chen has been here for five years. Until now, he hasn¡¯t cultivated any True Qi.¡± ¡°He hasn¡¯t cultivated any True Qi in five years. This¡­¡± Ye Qizheng was silent. The situation was more serious than he had expected. Jiang Chen hadn¡¯t cultivated True Qi even after five years of cultivation. At this moment, the disciples, the elders, and even the sect leader of the True Martial Sect, Ye Qizheng, were wondering if the ancestor had truly misjudged him. How could a good-for-nothing lead the True Martial Sect back to its peak? Moreover, how could such a person become the sect leader? Jiang Chen heard what they were talking about, but he didn¡¯t say anything. They were talking about the fact that the owner of this body, Jiang Chen, was a good-for-nothing cultivator. They were just sharing the same name. Besides, even if he was really a good-for-nothing, Jiang Chen wouldn¡¯t panic. After all, ordinary methods of cultivation didn¡¯t apply to him. Of course, it was useless for him to test his aptitude for cultivation. However, as long as Jiang Chen knew these things, it would be fine. He couldn¡¯t just reveal his identity and say that he was the real founder of the True Martial Sect. These methods of evaluation didn¡¯t apply to him. He wasn¡¯t using any ordinary methods of cultivation, was he? Who would believe such a thing? ¡°Since you don¡¯t believe me, then please step back a hundred meters, and I will prove it to you!¡± Jiang Chen patted the tattered clothes on his body and spoke indifferently. Step back a hundred meters? Was he trying to cultivate? Ye Qizheng and the other elders knew that Jiang Chen hadn¡¯t cultivated True Qi in the past five years, and if he wanted to take the first step to become a practitioner in front of them, he would undoubtedly be trying to impress them. However, since the ancestor had given him an order, he had to give him face. He had to order his disciples to step back a hundred meters. Jiang Chen sat down cross-legged after seeing everyone step back. On the Red Sun Continent, cultivators practiced Taoism. There were four realms in cultivation: Spirit, Physical, Conception, and Origin. Each cultivation realm was then further split into three stages: early stage, middle stage, and late stage. For example, the sect leader Ye Qizheng was at the middle stage of the Origin Realm. The three elders were at the early stage of the Origin Realm. The outer sect¡¯s Elder Li was at the early stage of the Physical Realm. The Spirit Realm allowed one to open nine spiritual meridians, which would further improve one¡¯s aptitude. He could draw the primordial qi of heaven and earth into his body and use it for his own benefit. It could be used for both defense and attack! There were three spiritual meridians in the early stage of the Spirit Realm, six spiritual meridians in the middle stage of the Spirit Realm, and nine spiritual meridians in the late stage of the Spirit Realm. The first technique Jiang Chen cultivated was to draw the primordial qi of heaven and earth into his body and open the spiritual meridians in his body. After sitting down cross-legged, Jiang Chen started to practice the constellation of nine turns cultivation technique. The constellation of nine turns cultivation technique was a low-grade yellow class method. According to the class of the method, it could be divided into four classes: Heaven, earth, black, and yellow. Each class was divided into three classes. The constellation of nine turns cultivation technique was the lowest class cultivation technique! The method Jiang Chen was going to cultivate was the constellation of nine turns cultivation technique. ¡­ Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! After only three breaths of time, the surrounding primordial qi of heaven and earth started to surge. Sounds of buzzing could be heard around Jiang Chen. In the blink of an eye, a brilliant golden light suddenly appeared in Jiang Chen¡¯s body. The primordial qi of heaven and earth around him surged into Jiang Chen¡¯s body like a gust of wind. ¡°The golden light appeared, and the primordial qi became violent!¡± ¡°How long has it been? Less than three breaths¡¯ time? And he has already broken through the first spiritual meridian?¡± ¡°How can he be so fast? Normally, it would take several months for someone to break through the first spiritual meridian, right?¡± All of a sudden, the crowd¡¯s disdain turned into shock. It was unbelievable! However, for Jiang Chen, such a matter was as easy as eating and drinking. As the most powerful man in the Red Sun Continent, the once Heavenly Sovereign God of the Nine Heavens, it wouldn¡¯t be difficult for him to cultivate again even if he was reborn! Besides, although Jiang Chen was practicing the low-grade constellation of nine turns cultivation technique, the mysteries contained in it were endless. 5,000 years ago, Jiang Chen was the only one who had comprehended the mysteries. Time had changed. 5,000 years later, no one knew how many people would succeed in comprehending it.. Chapter 4 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation It had only been six breaths¡¯ time since Jiang Chen broke through the first spiritual meridian. Before the crowd could recover from the shock, a clear buzzing sound came from Jiang Chen¡¯s body again! A brilliant golden light burst out of Jiang Chen¡¯s body again. Silence! There was dead silence! The disciples, who had been talking among themselves, shut their mouths at this moment. No sound could be heard. Only the hurricanes were surging within a hundred miles. The primordial qi of heaven and earth was turbulent. It gathered around Jiang Chen and formed a primordial qi vortex! At this moment, a disciple said carefully, ¡°I thought Jiang Chen told us to step back a hundred meters because he was going to pretend. It turns out he was actually serious?¡± ¡°If we were still standing near Jiang Chen, we would have been crushed to death by the violent primordial qi!¡± As he spoke, the disciple patted his chest in fear. On the other side, Sect Leader Ye Qizheng was dumbfounded by Jiang Chen¡¯s continuous breakthroughs. If it was his first breakthrough, it could be said that it was his first time practicing, and he had accumulated a lot of experience. However, his continuous breakthroughs had already exceeded his understanding! As Jiang Chen broke through, Ye Qizheng¡¯s face became red and painful. After all, he was the one who personally checked Jiang Chen¡¯s aptitude just now and confidently said that he was a good-for-nothing. But the truth was¡­ ¡°Impossible. When I checked Jiang Chen¡¯s aptitude, he was just a good-for-nothing. Why is it so easy for him to break through now?¡± Ye Qizheng couldn¡¯t figure it out no matter how hard he tried. He was still confused. Buzz! Buzz! In just a moment, the qi in Jiang Chen¡¯s body exploded several times. The dazzling golden light enveloped Jiang Chen¡¯s body and didn¡¯t disappear. The third spirit meridian¡­ The fourth spirit meridian¡­ The seventh spirit meridian¡­ The ninth spirit meridian¡­ It was astonishing. It was completely unreal! When Jiang Chen opened the sixth spirit meridian, all the people present had gradually calmed down. Jiang Chen also stopped cultivating after he broke through to the late stage of the Spirit Realm. ¡°In just a short while, he has endured years of hard cultivation. He¡¯s no longer a genius. He¡¯s definitely a peerless genius!¡± The primordial qi storm gradually subsided. Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and walked towards the sect leader, Ye Qizheng. ¡°Sect Leader, what do you think?¡± Jiang Chen looked at Ye Qizheng calmly and enunciated each word clearly. ¡°Good, good, good!¡± Ye Qizheng wiped away the tears of joy and muttered ¡°good¡± three times successively before stopping! ¡°Right. Sect Leader, it seems like a golden light has just entered my glabella, and a voice keeps ringing in my head, asking me to take over the sect leader¡¯s position.¡± In fact, Jiang Chen was just testing Ye Qizheng to see if he would disobey him, the founder of the True Martial Sect. He would definitely ask his remnant soul to use the remaining energy to kill Ye Qizheng directly if he did. When Ye Qizheng heard Jiang Chen mention the golden light, he immediately guessed that it must be the ancestor. He didn¡¯t hesitate at all. He said to the outer disciples and elders, ¡°The ancestor has given me an order. I must obey it.¡± ¡°It is I, Ye Qizheng, who is incompetent. The True Martial Sect¡¯s fall from grace has much to do with me!¡± ¡°From today onwards, the sect leader of the True Martial Sect will be Jiang Chen. If anyone dares to disobey his orders, the sect¡¯s law enforcement team will surely punish them severely!¡± Although Ye Qizheng was only at the middle stage of the Origin Realm and his cultivation was weaker than Jiang Chen¡¯s, he still had a strong sense of attachment to the True Martial Sect. Jiang Chen was quite satisfied with this. ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader!¡± ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader!¡± ¡°Greetings, Sect Leader¡­¡± Many outer disciples bowed respectfully to Jiang Chen, and the three elders didn¡¯t put on airs and bowed to Jiang Chen too. Jiang Chen was the first sect leader several thousand years ago, and when he became the sect leader again now, it was only natural for him to take the reins. ¡°Elder Ye, gather all the disciples of the True Martial Sect. I have something to announce!¡± Jiang Chen was familiar with the rules. He directly ordered Ye Qizheng, who was standing beside him. Ye Qizheng¡¯s mouth twitched when he heard Jiang Chen¡¯s words. He said awkwardly, ¡°Sect Leader, all the elders, outer disciples, and five or six inner disciples of the True Martial Sect have already gathered¡­¡± Jiang Chen was stunned when he heard this¡­ What was this? All the members of the True Martial Sect had gathered? Why were there only a hundred or so of them? ¡°Our True Martial Sect is really run-down. I remember that when I was still in power, all the sects within a thousand miles of our True Martial Sect had been swept by more than this number of people!¡± ¡°I only know that our True Martial Sect has been completely run-down. I didn¡¯t expect that the True Martial Sect, which was given to me by these descendants, would be so run-down!¡± Looking at the sect, which only had more than a hundred people, Jiang Chen cursed several times in his heart! ¡°Three days later, I will ask Elder Ye to change the cultivation methods. Otherwise, if they still cultivated low-grade cultivation techniques, it would be incredible if they maintained their peace of mind!¡± After Jiang Chen announced some more things, he asked all the disciples to leave. At this moment, only Jiang Chen and Ye Qizheng were left in the practice arena. ¡°Elder Ye, there are so many powerful cultivation techniques in our True Martial Sect. Why are all the cultivation techniques used by the disciples only low-grade? Even you are only cultivating an intermediate-level black class method which is just trash!¡± Jiang Chen yelled at Ye Qizheng, wanting to ask him about the reason. In the Scripture Pavilion of the True Martial Sect, there were countless cultivation techniques. Any of these cultivation techniques could ensue battles between sects! However, the cultivation techniques used by the disciples of the True Martial Sect were all garbage! ¡°Master¡­ There are thousands of years of gaps between the sects that haven¡¯t been recorded. When it was passed down to my generation, the sect was only slightly better than it is now. Although there were some treasures left, they were taken away by other sects when they attacked us¡­¡± ¡°Now, our True Martial Sect has nothing but disciples¡­¡± Ye Qizheng explained to Jiang Chen helplessly. As Ye Qizheng said, since the True Martial Sect had declined, all the other big sects naturally knew about it. After their downfall, the other big sects targeted the treasures in the sect. Jiang Chen flew into a mad rage when he heard this, but he soon calmed down. He waved his hand and said, ¡°Okay, enough. You can leave now.. I¡¯ll walk around the sect by myself!¡± Chapter 5 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After bidding farewell to Ye Qizheng, Jiang Chen went straight to the True Martial Sect¡¯s Scripture Pavilion. On the way, Jiang Chen couldn¡¯t help but shake his head when he saw the dilapidated mountain peaks. 5,000 years ago, the True Martial Sect was so prosperous that every small mountain peak was filled with top experts. However, it was now in such a sorry state. Even the seven main peaks, which were once dominated by several small mountains, were now reduced to just one main peak. The other six main peaks were basically destroyed as a result of the battle, and they were even more dilapidated than those small mountains. ¡°Have we arrived at the Scripture Pavilion?¡± ¡°I wonder how many things are left in the Scripture Pavilion, which is enough for a sect to thrive for tens of thousands of years!¡± In fact, Jiang Chen didn¡¯t have high hopes of finding anything in the Scripture Pavilion. However, he hadn¡¯t returned to his ¡®home¡¯ for 5,000 years, so he wanted to take a look by himself and find out what was left. As expected, when Jiang Chen walked in, the giant Scripture Pavilion looked empty at first glance. All the treasures that could have been used for tens of thousands of years were gone¡­ Then, Jiang Chen took the opportunity to visit many places. The Alchemy Pavilion, the Weapon Refining pavilion, the Array Formation Pavilion, and the Talisman Pavilion¡­ They were all just as empty as the Scripture Pavilion! After a long time, Jiang Chen had already explored more than half of the sect. Before he knew it, he had arrived in front of an ancient stone gate. ¡°Eh? Isn¡¯t this the place where my eight female disciples¡¯ statues are kept?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the stone gate, which was dozens of meters tall, suddenly opened by itself. It made an ear-piercing creaking sound. Jiang Chen walked in slowly along the paved stone road. He saw eight enormous statues. Each of the statues had an ancient and mysterious aura. Emanating this aura, the eight statues looked majestic. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect these to be the most well-preserved ones in the whole True Martial Sect. I guess the eight of you are still in the Nine Heavens!¡± ¡°Wait for me. Master, I¡¯ll be back soon. Don¡¯t let anything happen to you during this period¡­¡± After a while, Jiang Chen left. If nothing unexpected happened in the next few days, Jiang Chen would practice in the hall to improve his cultivation. ¡°Brother Chen!¡± ¡°Brother Chen?¡± On his way back, Jiang Chen suddenly heard a familiar voice shouting his name. He turned around and saw a burly, honest-looking man calling him from behind. From the memory of his descendant, who had the same name as him, Jiang Chen recognized the burly young man at a glance. The young man¡¯s name was Jiang Yan. He had been Jiang Chen¡¯s best friend since they were children. They were both from the same family ¡ª the Jiang Family of Nanchuan. Jiang Yan was a collateral disciple of the Jiang Family. His status was low. Jiang Chen was the legitimate young master of the Jiang Family. Five years ago, as the young master of the Jiang Family, Jiang Chen had been sent to the ninth-grade sect by the Grand Elder, who was in charge of the family, because he was too useless in cultivation. As the young master, Jiang Chen had been treated like this because his mother had disappeared, and his father¡¯s cultivation had been crippled. He hadn¡¯t been able to wield great power, which was why he had ended up like this. ¡°Yan Zi, it¡¯s you!¡± Jiang Chen¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw the robust youth. He was delighted. If he hadn¡¯t guessed wrongly, Jiang Yan obtained a Primordial Divine Physique! ¡°Brother Chen, you were so handsome when you were cultivating!¡± ¡°The people in the family all thought that we didn¡¯t have any talent for cultivation. They would never have thought that you were actually a cultivation genius, Brother Chen!¡± Jiang Yan scratched his head and said in embarrassment. ¡°Yan Zi, you¡¯re also a genius in cultivation. Did you know about the Primordial Divine Physique? You cultivate such a heaven-defying physique.¡± Jiang Yan was excited for a while after hearing Jiang Chen¡¯s words, but a regretful look soon appeared on his face again. ¡°Brother Chen, I¡¯m still trash with such a physique. The Primordial Divine Physique needs a corresponding method. I¡¯m afraid even the Jiang Family doesn¡¯t have such a method.¡± ¡°Most importantly, the Primordial Divine Physique needs a lot of resources after it has a suitable method. Otherwise, it would be difficult to advance even an inch¡­¡± Jiang Chen smiled knowingly. He patted his shoulder and said, ¡°No problem. I have a technique here. As for the cultivation resources, someone will send them to me!¡± ¡°Brother Chen, that¡¯s great. I have a technique to cultivate too!¡± Jiang Chen pointed at his glabella. An obscure cultivation technique suddenly appeared in Jiang Yan¡¯s mind. ¡°Okay, you can go cultivate now!¡± After giving Jiang Yan some pointers, Jiang Chen asked him to go back and cultivate. ¡°The position of the Primordial Divine King in the Nine Heavens has been vacant for a long time because of the Primordial Divine Physique. It¡¯s still vacant!¡± Jiang Chen returned to the Sect Leader¡¯s main hall after a short while. If nothing unexpected happened, Jiang Chen would continue cultivating for the next few days. After all, the True Martial Sect didn¡¯t have much time left. Several other sects were eyeing the True Martial Sect covetously. Even the eighth-grade sects had their eyes on the True Martial Sect. If he didn¡¯t take advantage of his free time to cultivate, he wouldn¡¯t have much time left. ¡°I¡¯m really poor. If I had spiritual stones, my cultivation speed would be several times faster!¡± ¡°Fortunately, there¡¯s still this spirit-gathering array formation left in the sect. Otherwise, my cultivation speed would be greatly reduced!¡± Then, Jiang Chen sat down cross-legged and started to cultivate. At this moment, Jiang Chen was at the late stage of the Spirit Realm. He had already opened nine spiritual meridians. The nine spiritual meridians were usually the peak that an ordinary cultivator could reach, and the next step was to break through to the second realm of martial arts, the Physical Realm! However, Jiang Chen didn¡¯t choose to continue breaking through. Instead, he activated the constellation of nine turns cultivation technique. Although the constellation of nine turns was the lowest level cultivation technique, there was naturally a reason why Jiang Chen chose to practice it. The nine levels of the constellation technique could open 42 spiritual meridians in the Spirit Realm, and after he practiced it to its peak, he could even turn the 42 spiritual meridians into empyrean stars. As long as the empyrean stars in Jiang Chen¡¯s body weren¡¯t extinguished, the True Qi in his body wouldn¡¯t be exhausted! However, after he opened the nine spiritual meridians and reached the late stage of the Spirit Realm, the difficulty of opening each spiritual meridian became greater and greater. Usually, very few people were willing to cultivate such a time-consuming and laborious technique. Even if they practiced it, they might not be able to succeed. Since ancient times, only Jiang Chen had been able to comprehend its mysteries and succeed in cultivating it. As a result, no one had practiced this method because the ninefold constellation formula was too difficult to comprehend, so its level was directly reduced to the lowest level! Jiang Chen had been in seclusion for three days¡­ In these three days, Jiang Chen had only managed to cultivate 31 spiritual meridians on the earth. The primordial Qi he needed was too great, so it would be difficult to open it in a short time. Therefore, Jiang Chen stopped cultivating. ¡°31 spiritual meridians. The effect isn¡¯t ideal!¡± ¡°If I still cultivate, I¡¯ll only be able to open one or two spiritual meridians at most.. I¡¯ll have to go to the Pill Pavilion later!¡± Chapter 6 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation As soon as Jiang Chen finished cultivating, Ye Qizheng appeared in his vision with a red face. ¡°Elder Ye, what can I do for you?¡± ¡°Master, another genius has appeared in our sect!¡± ¡°In just three days, he has opened seven spiritual meridians. He has already reached the late stage of the Spirit Realm directly!¡± As he spoke, Ye Qizheng became even more excited. However, when he recalled that Jiang Chen had opened nine spiritual meridians in less than the time it took half an incense stick to burn, he immediately restrained his smile. However, he didn¡¯t forget to flatter him. ¡°Although he can¡¯t be compared to you, he is still the first genius of our True Martial Sect that has been in decline for thousands of years, Sect Leader.¡± Ye Qizheng was looking at Jiang Chen with a smile. When he was flattering him, it wasn¡¯t obvious that he was blushing at all. ¡°Yeah.¡± Jiang Chen replied casually when he heard this. He already knew who this disciple was, even without Ye Qizheng¡¯s explanation. In the entire sect, besides Jiang Yan, who learned the techniques after being instructed by him, there shouldn¡¯t be a second person appearing. After all, when all the disciples of the sect had gathered three days ago, he had already seen through their aptitude. They were all average. ¡°Sect Leader, aren¡¯t you curious about who they are?¡± Looking at the indifferent Jiang Chen, Ye Qizheng was very confused. He had been chosen by the ancestor, who could restore the True Martial Sect to its peak. Why didn¡¯t he care about the sect at all? Could it be that the ancestor had mistaken him for someone else? He didn¡¯t want to help the True Martial Sect rise to power at all? The next moment, Jiang Chen slapped him in the face at the speed of light. ¡°Of course I¡¯m not curious. The person you¡¯re talking about is called Jiang Yan, and he¡¯s my brother.¡± ¡°Three days ago, I gave him some pointers on his cultivation. That¡¯s why his cultivation base is improving so quickly.¡± ¡°Uh¡­¡± The corners of Ye Qizheng¡¯s mouth twitched. If he had known earlier, he would have investigated before reporting back. He was just overestimating himself. ¡°Oh right, it¡¯s been exactly three days. Elder Ye, gather all the disciples in the sect and give them some instructions. After that, I have to make a trip to the Pill Pavilion. I estimate that I¡¯ll need a few days to return.¡± ¡°Pill Pavilion? Is the sect leader going to buy pills? The Spirit Stones in our sect¡­¡± He had to go to the Pill Pavilion to buy pills, but Ye Qizheng was embarrassed when he realized there weren¡¯t any Spirit Stones in the sect. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I know there¡¯s nothing left in the sect. You don¡¯t have to worry about it. Just go and gather your disciples.¡± Jiang Chen waved his hand and said nonchalantly. ¡­ In the practice arena of the True Martial Sect. A hundred disciples and four elders were gathered in the center of the practice arena, waiting for Jiang Chen¡¯s instructions. ¡°Three days ago, I saw your cultivation technique was only of the low-level black class. The quality of your cultivation technique depends on the speed of your progress.¡± ¡°I have a heaven-grade technique for you guys. From today on, everyone must cultivate it and improve their cultivation base quickly!¡± As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, the 100-odd disciples were shocked. The whole place was in an uproar! ¡°A heaven-grade technique?¡± ¡°Is this true? I didn¡¯t expect that we would be able to cultivate a heaven-grade technique!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t our True Martial Sect¡¯s highest technique only at the intermediate-tier of the Black Class? And it¡¯s Sect Leader Ye? Pah! Since when did Elder Ye and the others cultivate such a heaven-grade technique?¡± ¡°Sect Leader, don¡¯t worry. With a heaven-grade technique, our cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds!¡± The hundreds of disciples shouted in surprise. The four elders, led by Ye Qizheng, were no exception when they heard what Jiang Chen had said! After all, the four elders had only cultivated black-grade techniques all their lives. If nothing went wrong and if they didn¡¯t change their cultivation techniques, they would end up cultivating to the Origin Realm for the rest of their lives. Now, Jiang Chen had taken out a heaven-grade technique. As long as they focused on cultivation, it wasn¡¯t impossible for them to break through to the Dao Realm, which was above the Origin Realm! As for why Jiang Chen possessed a heaven-grade technique, Ye Qizheng and the others thought it was the ancestor¡¯s remnant soul who had taught it to him when he was hiding in Jiang Chen¡¯s glabella. While the disciples and elders were still in shock, the guard¡¯s anxious voice suddenly sounded. ¡°Sect Leader, Elder Ye, this is bad. The Yan Sect¡¯s people are here to cause trouble!¡± ¡°They are already here. They will arrive at the training arena soon!¡± As soon as the guard¡¯s voice fell, an extremely arrogant voice rang out. ¡°Hahaha. Sect Leader Ye, the Yan Sect¡¯s first elder Ling Wu has brought ten of the Yan Sect¡¯s elite disciples to the True Martial Sect to have a friendly spar between the two sects!¡± Jiang Chen looked towards the source of the voice and saw a man with a cross scar on his face walking towards them with a sneer. He was Ling Wu, the Grand Elder of the Yan Sect! His cultivation base had already reached the late stage of the Origin Realm, which was a state higher than Ye Qizheng, who was in the middle state of the Origin Realm. The ten people behind Ling Wu were all elite disciples of the Yan Sect. They were all wearing black battle robes. Looking at Ye Qizheng¡¯s pale face, Jiang Chen knew that the Yan Sect was a cunning sect. As for friendly competition, that was nonsense! ¡°Elder Yan, I¡¯ve abdicated my position. This is the current sect leader of the True Martial Sect, Jiang Chen!¡± Ye Qizheng introduced Jiang Chen to Ling Wu with a pale face. Ling Wu glanced at Jiang Chen in surprise, but when he saw the young Jiang Chen, a contemptuous smile appeared on his face. ¡°Your True Martial Sect is getting worse and worse. Even a kid can become the sect leader! Hahaha.¡± The disciples of the Yan Sect behind Ling Wu also sneered. Jiang Chen didn¡¯t pay any attention to Ling Wu¡¯s ridicule, even though his strength was far from the late stage of the Origin Realm, and he wasn¡¯t a match for Ling Wu in a fight. However, this was the True Martial Sect, the sect established by him, Jiang Chen! This was his home ground, and in his home ground, he could even kill a late stage Origin Realm warrior, even a warrior at the Dao Realm. Since the Yan Sect wanted to spar with the True Martial Sect, Jiang Chen didn¡¯t bother to waste his time. He looked towards Jiang Yan, who was in the crowd, and said slowly. ¡°Since someone wants to spar with our True Martial Sect, then I will naturally fulfill his wish!¡± ¡°Jiang Yan, you go and spar with these arrogant b*stards.¡± ¡°Oh right, fists and feet have no eyes. It is normal for a dead person to die. You can go all out. If anything happens, I will take care of it for you!¡± ¡°No problem, Brother Chen!¡± Jiang Yan didn¡¯t hesitate at all when he heard Jiang Chen¡¯s order. He walked immediately to the platform. Ling Wu looked at Jiang Chen in surprise. He didn¡¯t expect the young sect leader in his eyes to ignore his provocation and send his disciple directly onto the platform. However, when he saw that Jiang Yan was in the late stage of the Spirit Realm and had only opened seven spiritual meridians, he burst into laughter. ¡°The ancestor really has no powerhouse to use.. How dare this kind of trash, who has only opened seven spiritual veins, be sent out to fight!¡± Chapter 7 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Sending a disciple who has just entered the late stage of the Spirit Realm to fight my Yan Sect is simply courting death!¡± ¡°Lin Feng, go on the platform and fight. Remember Sect Leader Jiang¡¯s words. Fists and feet have no eyes. You can go all out!¡± Ling Wu smiled sinisterly and called a disciple, who had also opened nine spiritual meridians at the late stage of the Spirit Realm, to go up and accept the challenge. ¡°Yes, Elder Ling.¡± The disciple of the Yan Sect licked his lips and smiled sinisterly. Then, he leaped onto the practice platform. Jiang Yan and Lin Feng were both in the late stage of the Spirit Realm, but there was a difference of two spiritual meridians between them. Jiang Chen knew this of course. After all, the weakest disciples of the Yan Sect were all in the late stage of the Spirit Realm and had opened nine spiritual meridians. However, he was quite confident in Jiang Yan, who had the ancient desolate sacred body. Even if Jiang Yan had just reached the early stage of the Physical Realm, he would still be able to fight Lin Feng, who had just reached the lower state of the body state, let alone two spiritual meridians. At this moment, on the training platform. Jiang Yan wasn¡¯t afraid of the disciples of the Yan Sect, who were stronger than him. Instead, he was excited and rather looking forward to the fight that was about to begin. Ever since Jiang Chen had given him the technique and pointers about cultivation, he felt like something was going to awaken in his body. Especially after practicing the cultivation technique Jiang Chen had given him, he felt more and more agitated. His cultivation base had also improved by leaps and bounds. Jiang Yan knew very well that if it weren¡¯t for Jiang Chen, he would still be a piece of trash who had lost confidence in cultivation. Now, Jiang Chen needed him to fight. Even if his cultivation was lower than the other party¡¯s, Jiang Yan wouldn¡¯t be afraid of the fight! Buzz! Buzz! Their True Qi suddenly erupted and collided with each other. Then, the two raised their hands at the same time and launched an attack. ¡°Haha, a good-for-nothing, who has just entered the late stage of the Spirit Realm, dares to fight with me. He really doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for him!¡± ¡°Mountain-shattering fist!¡± The disciple of the Yan Sect shouted loudly. He raised his fist and his black shadow dashed over. Jiang Yan did not pay any attention to him. He also controlled the True Qi in his body to cover his fist and attacked. ¡°Haha. This disciple of the True Martial Sect is dead for sure. He will definitely be killed by Senior Brother Lin Feng with a punch.¡± ¡°Mountain-shattering fist. This is an intermediate-level yellow class martial skill. Senior Brother Lin Feng has the intention to kill. He will definitely die!¡± Just when all the disciples of the Yan sect thought that Jiang Yan would definitely die. The fists of the two people on the training platform collided with a loud bang. The disciple of the Yan Sect was directly sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string. ¡°Puff¡± While he was in the air, he spat out a mouthful of blood one. His ruddy face had also turned extremely pale in an instant. Plop! In the next instant, Lin Fei¡¯s entire body fell to the ground with a loud bang. The next moment, he fainted and passed out! ¡°Senior Brother Lin Fei lost? How is this possible?¡± ¡°One move? No¡­ This can¡¯t be. It must be the True Martial Sect¡¯s disciple who used some illicit means!¡± The Yan Sect¡¯s disciples all looked at the unconscious Lin Fei in disbelief, their faces filled with shock! Whereas, the True Martial Sect¡¯s disciples revealed an incredulous expression at this moment. In the eyes of the disciples of the True Martial Sect, the two were both in the late stage of the Spirit Realm. They should have had an equally fierce fight before the result came out. However, they didn¡¯t expect that the two would be able to determine the winner in just one move! ¡°You can¡¯t even withstand one attack!¡± Jiang Yan glanced disdainfully at the disciple of the Yan Sect who was lying on the ground. He turned around and went to Jiang Chen¡¯s side, saying, ¡°Brother Chen, I¡¯m glad I didn¡¯t disappoint you!¡± Jiang Chen nodded slightly. He said to Ling Wu calmly, ¡°The disciples of the Yan Sect aren¡¯t strong. They can¡¯t even withstand one move even though they¡¯re in the same realm.¡± Contempt, mockery, and disdain! Jiang Chen¡¯s short sentence made Ling Wu¡¯s face turn black instantly. ¡°The ten people you brought are all about the same strength. There¡¯s no need for us to spar anymore. If there¡¯s anything else, just tell us as soon as possible!¡± Jiang Chen didn¡¯t buy it that the Yan Sect had just come to spar with the disciples of the True Martial Sect. After all, they had even brought the grand elder of the sect, who was in the late stage of the Origin Realm, along with them. There must be something fishy going on here! Ling Wu didn¡¯t even care about Lin Feng, who had been beaten unconscious. He just felt a little embarrassed for a moment. After hearing Jiang Chen¡¯s words, Ling Wu¡¯s expression quickly returned to normal. He looked at Jiang Chen and said with a wry smile, ¡°You¡¯re too kind.¡± ¡°You know your place, Kid. This time, the Yan Sect came to the True Martial Sect to learn more about the strength of your sect¡¯s disciples. Besides that, we also came here to especially pass on a message to the True Martial Sect!¡± ¡°Now, the Yan Sect has been recognized by the Martial Arts Pavilion. We¡¯ve been promoted from a ninth-class sect to an eighth-class sect!¡± ¡°The Yan sect will give you a chance to survive. Submit to the Yan Sect!¡± ¡°What? Submit to the Yan Sect?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this asking us to give up our sect and submit to them?¡± ¡°It¡¯s over. The Yan Sect¡¯s grand elder is in the late stage of the Origin Realm, while Jiang Chen is the sect leader appointed by the ancestor. Even if he receives the ancestor¡¯s guidance, he wouldn¡¯t be able to resist the grand elder of the Yan Sect! Moreover, even Elder Ye is only at the middle stage of the Origin Realm. The disparity between their strengths is too great. It¡¯s impossible for him to win!¡± ¡°Could it be that our True Martial Sect has yet to rise and is about to be killed in its cradle?¡± For a moment, everyone in the True Martial Sect became anxious. Even Ye Qizheng, who was the strongest, felt a fierce tug in his heart! After all, in the entire True Martial Sect, he could be said to be the strongest. However, he was still a half-realm lower than Ling Wu. Although it didn¡¯t sound like much. But Ye Qizheng clearly knew that at their realm, the difference of a half-realm in strength was still very big. If there were no accidents, he definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand three moves from Ling Wu and would be defeated in the end! ¡°Ancestor, are you still there? The True Martial Sect needs your help!¡± Ye Qizheng¡¯s face was full of anxiety, and he kept calling for the ancestor in his heart, hoping that he could save the True Martial Sect from being exterminated this time! ¡°Take your people and get out of here within ten breaths¡¯ time. Otherwise, you¡¯ll stay here forever!¡± Jiang Chen¡¯s expression became cold. He looked at Ling Wu coldly. ¡°You don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you! Since you don¡¯t agree, I, Ling Wu, will dye your True Martial Sect red with blood today!¡± As he spoke, Ling Wu¡¯s strength, which was at the late stage of the Origin Realm, suddenly erupted. He formed a punch with his right hand and attacked Jiang Chen directly. Ling Wu¡¯s attack was too sudden. Ye Qizheng, who was beside him, didn¡¯t even have time to react. It was already too late for him to help Jiang Chen. ¡°Sect Leader, be careful!¡± Ye Qizheng shouted anxiously. However, Jiang Chen just stood there, facing Ling Wu¡¯s attack. He didn¡¯t dodge the attack at all.. Chapter 8 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation In the True Martial Sect. This was Jiang Chen¡¯s home ground! He didn¡¯t care about the attack of a late stage Origin Realm powerhouse. Jiang Chen simply activated the remnants of his eight female disciples¡¯ divine will. Then, he shouted at Ling Wu coldly, ¡°Die!¡± As Jiang Chen shouted in anger, several brilliant golden lights suddenly dashed out of the gate of the ancient stone statue of the eight female disciples. These golden lights were the remnants of his eight female disciples¡¯ divine will. As soon as they sensed Jiang Chen¡¯s signal, they turned their divine will into sharp swords and dashed out at Jiang Chen¡¯s call! After one breath, when Ling Wu¡¯s attack was right in front of Jiang Chen, his attack stopped abruptly. Right then, he fell to the ground with a bang! It wasn¡¯t until Ling Wu fell to the ground that those present saw everything clearly. ¡°Dead?¡± ¡°This is bad. The grand elder is dead¡­!¡± ¡°Impossible! The grand elder is at the late stage of the Origin Realm. How could he die that easily? Impossible!¡± The disciples of the Yan Sect looked at the grand elder who had crashed to the ground and was lifeless, completely panicking! They dared to be arrogant because they relied on Ling Wu whose cultivation base was at the late stage of the Origin Realm. But now, Ling Wu was dead¡­ ¡­ In an instant! The entire True Martial Sect was in a complete uproar. All the worries and feelings of fear were instantly swept away! The hundred-odd disciples directly cheered when they saw this scene. ¡°I was scared to death. Just now, I thought our True Martial Sect was going to be exterminated by this grand elder of the Yan Sect!¡± ¡°Speaking of which, how exactly did the grand elder of the Yan Sect, Ling Wu, die? I had been staring fixedly just now and didn¡¯t even see clearly how he died!¡± At the side, Ye Qizheng was staring at him in a daze. He was at the middle stage of the Origin Realm. However, just like these disciples, even he didn¡¯t get a clear look at what pierced Ling Wu¡¯s heart and killed him. Was it Jiang Chen? No way. Jiang Chen hadn¡¯t moved at all. He was watching the scene attentively. Could it be the ancestor in Jiang Chen¡¯s body who had attacked? After thinking for a long time, this was the only answer Ye Qizheng could reason out. He couldn¡¯t think of anyone in the entire True Martial Sect who was capable of killing a powerhouse at the late stage Origin Realm in a flash, except the ancestor! ¡°Elder Ye, the remaining disciples of the Yan Sect will look for someone later. Ask them to work as coolies for the True Martial Sect!¡± Jiang Chen didn¡¯t even look at Ling Wu, who was already dead, as he directly ordered Ye Qizheng, who wasn¡¯t too far away. Immediately after, Jiang Chen said to the disciples of the True Martial Sect, ¡°In the next few days, all the disciples will go and cultivate quietly. And when they are strong enough, they will make arrangements!¡± Jiang Chen then spoke to Ye Qizheng once again. ¡°After you take care of these matters, go to the Martial Arts Pavilion and inform them that I¡¯m now the sect leader of the True Martial Sect.¡± The Martial Arts Pavilion was one of the top forces in the continent. Whenever the sects had some big events, such as the promotion of their sects, or the change of the sect leader, they had to inform the Martial Arts Pavilion so that they could prepare for it. ¡°While I¡¯m away, you should take care of the matters of the True Martial Sect!¡± ¡°As you say, Sect Leader!¡± Ye Qizheng nodded and said respectfully. A moment later, Jiang Chen turned around and left the training arena. ¡°Farewell, Master!¡± ¡°Farewell, Master¡­¡± The four elders and disciples shouted in unison! ¡­ After leaving the training arena, Jiang Chen didn¡¯t go back to the main hall to cultivate. Instead, he left the True Martial Sect directly and headed for the Pill Pavilion in the town closest to the True Martial Sect. The Pill Pavilion, like the Martial Arts Pavilion, was one of the top academies in the Red Sun Continent. Their forces were spread throughout the whole continent. There were branches of these academies everywhere, big and small. The Pill Pavilion, as its name implied, was a place to refine pills for cultivators to break through, cultivate, and enhance their life expectancy. More than 80% of the alchemists in the Red Sun continent were under the command of the Pill Pavilion. ¡­ After leaving the True Martial Sect, Jiang Chen arrived at the Pill Pavilion in Sunnywoods Town in a short time. However, before he arrived, something strange happened! He saw more than ten burly men hiding in the woods not far away from Jiang Chen. ¡°Boss, he¡¯s alive!¡± ¡°He¡¯s a very young boy. I don¡¯t think he¡¯s very powerful!¡± The leader of the group was overjoyed when he heard the news. ¡°Finally, he¡¯s alive. I¡¯ve been waiting to hear that for a long time!¡± ¡°Brothers, when he arrives, go and surround him immediately. Don¡¯t let anything happen to him. Don¡¯t let him go!¡± The man waved the machete in his hand and said to the dozens of men behind him excitedly. Soon¡­ As soon as Jiang Chen arrived in front of them, the dozens of underlings jumped out, brandishing their weapons, and surrounded Jiang Chen. ¡°Huh! I¡¯m the one who owns this road, and I¡¯m also the one who owns these trees.¡± ¡°If you want to pass by here, you have to pay with your life!¡± ¡°Kid, hurry up and hand over all your spiritual stones, cultivation manuals, and other things. I¡¯ll spare your life!¡± The leader of the group walked out with a shining machete in his hand after his lackeys surrounded Jiang Chen. ¡°He¡¯s only at the middle stage of the Physical Realm. How dare he rob me with such strength?¡± Jiang Chen could tell the leader¡¯s cultivation level at a glance. He was only at the middle stage of the Physical Realm. He didn¡¯t care about it at all. ¡°Hey! Kid, you have a big mouth!¡± ¡°But you can tell my realm at a glance. You¡¯re not bad. Give me what you have right now!¡± ¡°Otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for splitting you in half with my mountain-splitting knife!¡± Then, Wolf Dominator looked at Jiang Chen teasingly. He twirled the knife in his hand. As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen¡¯s expression changed. The coldness in his eyes was obvious. ¡°Give way or¡­ die!¡± However, the ten or so lackeys didn¡¯t take Jiang Chen¡¯s words seriously. Instead, they burst into laughter. ¡°Haha! Boss, this kid told us to give way, or he would kill us.¡± ¡°Boss, let me do it. I¡¯ll show him what a killer looks like!¡± Among the dozen or so people, a lackey with a metal rod in his hand, whose cultivation level was only at the lower stage of the Spirit Realm, suddenly walked out. ¡°Go! Remember to kill him with one strike and blow his head off! Haha!¡± Wolf Dominator waved his hand, laughed mockingly, and allowed his lackey to fight. After getting Wolf Dominator¡¯s permission, the lackey walked towards Jiang Chen with a hideous smile, wielding the rod in his hand. ¡°Kid, I¡¯m only at the early stage of Spirit Realm. I¡¯ve just opened three spiritual meridians!¡± ¡°But I am still going to kill you. Prepare to go to hell!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the lackey circulated his True Qi and aimed at Jiang Chen¡¯s head, hitting him with the rod in his hand.. Chapter 9 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation He looked at the attack coming at him from an early stage Spirit Realm cultivator. Jiang Chen didn¡¯t even know how stupid these guys were. They didn¡¯t even know how strong he was, yet they still tried to rob him? Jiang Chen didn¡¯t even bother to block or fight back against such a weak opponent. With the magnificent True Qi in his body, Jiang Chen could resist his attack without any effort. ¡°Boss, look at this kid. He doesn¡¯t even dare to move. Haha!¡±A cross-eyed thief mocked with a wry smile. ¡°I don¡¯t think he¡¯s as strong as he seems. What a pity! I wasted my time!¡± Wolf Dominator shook his head. He was a bit disappointed. After all, a weak person like Jiang Chen probably didn¡¯t have anything good on him. But when the attack from the early stage Spirit Realm cultivator arrived in front of Jiang Chen, everyone present were completely dumbfounded! When the iron rod in his hand was only one finger away from Jiang Chen¡¯s head, an immense True Qi suddenly burst out from Jiang Chen¡¯s body! Buzz! The iron rod stopped when it was only a finger away from Jiang Chen. It didn¡¯t move an inch. Before the lackey who attacked Jiang Chen could react, his hand that was holding the iron rod suddenly trembled. He subconsciously let go of the iron rod. Right after, the iron rod hit the lackey¡¯s head. Blood mixed with some white objects fell like rain. The thief didn¡¯t even have time to scream before he died on the spot! ¡°This is bad. This kid should be a cultivator at the late stage of the Spirit Realm!¡± ¡°Damn it. He pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger!¡± ¡°Boss, Qiangzi can¡¯t die for nothing. Help him get revenge!¡± All the people who were close to Jiang Chen gulped. They took a few steps back subconsciously, afraid they would be the next one to be killed by Jiang Chen. Wolf Dominator, on the other hand, was different from these timid underlings. After learning that Jiang Chen was either at the late stage of the Spirit Realm or at the early stage of the Physical Realm at most, he was extremely excited. In Wolf Dominator¡¯s opinion, the more powerful Jiang Chen was, the better the treasures he would carry with him! Although Wolf Dominator was only in the middle stage of the Physical Realm, he had robbed many times with his underlings. However, most of the time, the people whom he robbed were only in the middle stage of the Spirit Realm. The loot he got from them wasn¡¯t helpful to him, a middle stage Physical Realm cultivator. But now, he was excited to rob Jiang Chen, who seemed to be at the early stage of the Physical Realm! ¡°I¡¯m in the middle stage of the Physical Realm. What are you afraid of? Come on. Let¡¯s kill him together!¡± Flourishing the mountain-splitting knife in his hand, Wolf Dominator was the first to charge at Jiang Chen. His underlings regained their confidence too when they heard him. That¡¯s right! Their boss was at the middle stage of the Physical Realm so there was nothing to be afraid of! In an instant, the timid underlings dashed toward Jiang Chen excitedly with their weapons. ¡°Isn¡¯t it already good to be alive?¡± ¡°Go to hell!¡± Jiang Chen said domineeringly. Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! This time, Jiang Chen didn¡¯t try to conceal anything. He exerted all the True Qi in his body in an instant! ¡°Heaven-breaking finger!¡± Jiang Chen didn¡¯t give the opponents any time to react. He moved gracefully. He raised a finger and pointed at the bodies of the underlings. One by one¡­ They fell one after another just like that. At this moment, Wolf Dominator realized something was amiss. With Jiang Chen¡¯s current strength, he wouldn¡¯t be able to defeat him even if he was at the late stage of the Physical Realm! With such a speed, Jiang Chen must be extremely powerful! ¡°Run!¡± As soon as this thought occurred to him, Wolf Dominator abandoned his underlings and tried to escape. But it was too late. He didn¡¯t have the chance to do so. He had just taken a step when all his underlings had been killed by Jiang Chen. He was the last person Jiang Chen wanted to kill! ¡°You want to escape? Too late!¡± Jiang Chen shouted coldly. He condensed his True Qi again and activated the heaven-breaking finger. Jiang Chen pointed several fingers in the air in an instant, showing no mercy. His meridians had been penetrated. His bones and tendons were broken! ¡°Meridians¡­ My meridians!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Wolf Dominator glared at Jiang Chen and cried out in excruciating pain. He looked like he was going to eat Jiang Chen at any moment. Jiang Chen didn¡¯t react at all. He just corroded Wolf Dominator from the perspective of an ant. He said indifferently, ¡°At night, the wild animals here will eat you up little by little!¡± ¡°Die in fear!¡± Then, Jiang Chen snatched the Spirit Stones from him. He turned around elegantly and continued to head for the Pill Pavilion at Sunnywood Town. All that was left was Wolf Dominator, who was still screaming and begging for mercy. ¡­ The north of Sunnywood Town was the only small town in this generation. Although it was a small town, the Martial Arts Pavilion, Pill Pavilion, and other big forces¡¯ branches were all there. The north side of Sunnywood Town was known as the Dark Forest. There were countless wild beasts in the forest, and many practitioners went there to hunt. Because of this, the Dark Forest was the main source of food for more than half of Sunnywood Town. The south side was called the Official Road, which led to the central part of Sunnywood Town thousands of miles away. The north and south were connected. As a necessary part of the town, the town was very lively! At this moment, Jiang Chen was walking on the central street in the town. There were all kinds of shops and stalls on both sides of the street. The Pill Pavilion and the Martial Arts Pavilion were both located at the center of the most prosperous street. Jiang Chen murmured to himself as he looked at the magnificent Pill Pavilion, ¡°I wonder if this Pill Pavilion has essence soul herbs? Refining pills is the most important thing for now!¡± That¡¯s right. Jiang Chen didn¡¯t want to buy pills directly. He wanted to buy spiritual herbs and refine the pills he needed when he returned to the sect. Thus, Jiang Chen didn¡¯t waste any more time. He walked straight into the Pill Pavilion. ¡°Hello. I need the essence soul herb.¡± Jiang Chen didn¡¯t waste any time and asked straightforwardly. ¡°Essence soul herb?¡± The chief of the Pill Pavilion sized Jiang Chen up and down and replied, ¡°I¡¯m sorry. The essence soul herb is in urgent need in our Pill Pavilion. We currently don¡¯t have it.¡± Jiang Chen was a little disappointed. However, he had prepared himself mentally before he came in. After all, the essence soul herb grew in the depths of the Dark Forest. There were all kinds of powerful beasts in the depths of the Dark Forest. The essence soul herb was hard to come by. Even if he found it, there would probably be a lot of beasts watching over it. ¡®Looks like I¡¯ll have to go to the Dark Forest¡¯ Jiang Chen shook his head. He was intending to leave the Pill Pavilion and go to the Dark Forest. However, at this moment, a girl, who was about 17 or 18 years old, walked into the Pill Pavilion. She was dressed luxuriously, but she looked ordinary. Accompanying her was a teenager in a black battle robe.. Chapter 10 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°General Manager Su, I¡¯m here to buy essence soul herbs. Do you have some?¡± The youngster in the black battle robe looked at the chief of the Pill Pavilion indifferently and asked slowly. ¡°Black battle robe? Why does it look familiar?¡±Jiang Chen thought to himself as if he had seen the youngster somewhere before. What Jiang Chen didn¡¯t know was that the black battle robe was the standard of the Yan Sect. And this teenager was the young master of the Yan sect. ¡°So it¡¯s Young Master Yan. Our Pill Pavilion still has some spirit herbs. If you want them, I¡¯ll bring them for you.¡± General Manager Su looked at the youngster in the black battle robe with great respect. He rubbed his hands together and trotted over with a smile. ¡°Alright. I won¡¯t ask about the price. Just bring me all you got. I need them urgently.¡± Young Master Yan glanced at the things in the Pill Pavilion and said calmly. Jiang Chen was dumbfounded! This General Manager Su had just told him they didn¡¯t have any spirit herbs. They were short of the soul-essence grass. But he was ready to bring them out for this youngster? Was he looking down on him, or was he afraid Jiang Chen wouldn¡¯t be able to buy it? ¡°Chief, I asked for it first. Why didn¡¯t you sell it to me?¡± Jiang Chen said in a low voice, ¡°I need the essence soul herb!¡± ¡°Huh! The essence soul herb is very expensive. It¡¯s also very useful in cultivation. Little Brother, you¡­ just forget it!¡± General Manager Su glanced at Jiang Chen¡¯s clothes with a smile. The contempt in his eyes was evident! Jiang Chen looked down in confusion when he saw General Manager Su sizing him up. He immediately understood¡­ The slightly yellowed clothes were patched. The shoes on his feet were also stained with mud¡­ No wonder this General Manager Su looked at him strangely every time! The youngster in front of him was dressed luxuriously. His clothes were totally different from Jiang Chen¡¯s. However, Jiang Chen still had to fight for the soul essence grass! Although he didn¡¯t have any Spirit Stones, he was sure that what he had in his head was definitely more attractive than the price offered by the youngster in black battle robe! ¡°General Manager Su, do you think I can¡¯t afford it?¡± ¡°I, Jiang Chen, want as many spirit herbs as your Pill Pavilion has. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll give you enough Spirit Stones!¡± As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, before General Manager Su could even open his mouth, the youngster in black battle robe spoke up. ¡°Essence soul herb are rare spirit herbs. It¡¯s up to them to decide who the Pill Pavilion will sell them to.¡± As he spoke, the youngster¡¯s tone suddenly changed. An arrogant expression appeared on his face. ¡°Moreover, I¡¯m Yan Lin, the young master of the Yan Sect. I won¡¯t give up these spirit herbs!¡± Then, he took out a medium-grade Spirit Stone from his pocket and threw it at Jiang Chen¡¯s feet. He said arrogantly, ¡°This is a medium-grade Spirit Stone. Take it as a pity gift from me, Yan Lin, and buy yourself a set of clothes!¡± ¡°You look so shabby. I don¡¯t think you can afford it!¡± Bang! Jiang Chen didn¡¯t even look at the medium-grade Spirit Stone. He kicked it back. Yan Lin¡¯s face darkened when he saw that the Spirit Stone he had given him had been kicked away. After all, a medium-grade Spirit Stone was equivalent to a hundred low-grade Spirit Stones. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he wanted to show off in front of his woman, he wouldn¡¯t have given Jiang Chen the medium-grade Spirit Stone in the first place! ¡°General Manager Su, I may not have more Spirit Stones than him, but I do have something more precious than spirit stones!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s talk in private.¡± Looking at the fat General Manager Su in front of him, Jiang Chen said in a low voice. ¡°Well¡­ Can you tell me in advance? Otherwise, I won¡¯t be able to come with you.¡± General Manager Su squinted. He looked confused. After all, Jiang Chen¡¯s clothes were tattered. He couldn¡¯t figure out how he could possibly have something valuable with him? ¡°You know about the essence soul pill, right? It¡¯s been thousands of years since this pill appeared. I can give you the formula of the essence soul pill in exchange!¡± ¡°The formula of the essence soul pill?¡± The fat General Manager Su suddenly shouted. Right then, he seemed to have realized something. He looked at Jiang Chen and asked rather unhappily, ¡°Kid, are you trying to trick me?¡± ¡°The essence soul pill was once a great pill that helped one to progress in their cultivation thousands of years ago. But there¡¯s no such formula to refine this pill in the whole continent. Where did you get it from?!¡± Yan Lin burst into laughter when he heard Jiang Chen¡¯s words. ¡°Haha. The essence soul pill was created by the Holy King of Stars thousands of years ago. Have you seen yourself? Do you really think you have it?¡± The woman next to Yan Lin started laughing at him. ¡°Country bumpkin, get lost. Don¡¯t be an eyesore here!¡± ¡°Call out the alchemist who is in charge of your Pill Pavilion!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll write it down for him to see. He¡¯ll know whether it¡¯s true or not!¡± Jiang Chen ignored the three idiots. If it weren¡¯t for the essence soul herbs, Jiang Chen wouldn¡¯t even bother talking to these trash. General Manager Su was silent for a while. He then started to ponder over it. Whether this matter was true or false, he would be able to distinguish it once he brought the Pavilion Master out. If it was false, he wouldn¡¯t receive any punishment! If it was true, he would definitely receive a lot of benefits! ¡°I hope you didn¡¯t lie to me, or else you would be the one to suffer!¡± ¡°If you offend the Pavilion Master, I reckon that you won¡¯t be able to see the bright sun again,¡± General Manager Su warned in a low voice. Not long after. An alchemist with steady steps slowly climbed down the stairs. During this time, Jiang Chen had already written the formula for the essence soul pill. However, he didn¡¯t write the complete formula for the essence soul pill. He just made it less effective in practice. After all, the essence soul herb wasn¡¯t worth the price Jiang Chen would pay if he wrote the complete formula. Even so, the effects of this incomplete essence soul pill would be far better than the other pills on the Red Sun Continent. ¡°This is the pill formula. You can try to refine a cauldron of pills with the method above!¡± Jiang Chen didn¡¯t waste any time. He handed the pill formula to the alchemist. Then, he sat down and closed his eyes to rest. ¡°General Manager Su, don¡¯t believe what he said. Maybe he¡¯s trying to trick you into wasting a batch of spirit herbs on purpose!¡± Yan Lin was a little anxious after the alchemist took the pill formula. He tried to persuade him. ¡°Young Master Yan, please calm down!¡± ¡°Our Pavilion Master will make the decision.¡±. General Manager Su waved his hand, dismissing Yan Lin¡¯s words. However, after Yan Lin shut up, the woman beside him walked up to Jiang Chen and said arrogantly. ¡°You country bumpkin!¡± ¡°How dare you fight for what the Yan Sect wants? I¡¯ll give you one last chance. We want the soul essence grass. Take the spirit stones and scram!¡± The woman folded her arms in front of her chest and ordered arrogantly. ¡°Get lost!¡± ¡°Trash!¡± Jiang Chen didn¡¯t want to argue with these two ignorant people. However, he deliberately showed his face to them again and again. Then, Jiang Chen wouldn¡¯t be so indifferent anymore! Chapter 11 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°I, Tang Xue, am a disciple of the Yan Sect. Brother Lin is the young master of the Yan Sect. Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that!?¡± ¡°The Yan Sect? Is that so great? Ling Wu, the Grand Elder of the Yan Sect, was killed by me!¡± Jiang Chen threw a disdainful glance at the woman named Tang Xue. As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, Yan Lin came up to him. He said with a cold smile, ¡°The Grand Elder of the Yan Sect is at the late stage of the Origin Realm, while you are only at the late stage of the Spirit Realm!¡± ¡°You are just a trash cultivator. The grand elder of the Yan Sect can kill a bunch of trash like you with a puff of his breath. Look at yourself before bragging!¡± Yan Lin didn¡¯t take Jiang Chen¡¯s words seriously at all. He didn¡¯t believe that an ant could kill a fierce beast. Jiang Chen¡¯s eyes became firm. He wanted to teach them a lesson, but a strong, cold breeze suddenly blew over. ¡°Is this¡­ the power of lunar energy?¡± Jiang Chen exclaimed inwardly. Then, he immediately looked towards the door where the cold breeze was coming from. An old man with a walking stick and a young girl in a black cloak walked directly into the Pill Pavilion. In a flash, Jiang Chen came to their side and whispered to them. ¡°This is the terminal stage of moon disease. If the lunar toxins are not neutralized, you¡¯ll die in a few days!¡± Jiang Chen¡¯s voice was soft, but the old man and the young girl could hear him. When the old man and the young girl heard him, they stopped in their tracks. Traces of confusion, joy, and surprise appeared on their faces. The two looked at Jiang Chen in surprise. After a while, the old man spoke up, ¡°Little friend, how do you know all that?¡± ¡°After the toxins are neutralized, she will possess the Divine Moon Physique.¡± ¡°There are very few people in the world who know how to neutralize it. I happen to be one of those few people!¡± Jiang Chen looked at the young girl in front of him and said firmly. ¡°Little friend, would you like to continue in the attic?¡± The old man¡¯s pupils suddenly dilated. He couldn¡¯t hide the excitement in his eyes! ¡°Damn it! How dare you ignore me, Tang Xue?¡± At this moment, Tang Xue felt insulted by Jiang Chen¡¯s disregard. She circulated her True Qi and flew towards Jiang Chen! However, before Jiang Chen could do anything, someone helped him deal with Tang Xue! It was the old man who had just asked Jiang Chen to come to the attic. ¡°Get lost!¡± With an angry shout, Tang Xue¡¯s True Qi exploded and dissipated in the air. Tang Xue, who had just released her True Qi, was sent flying out of the Pill Pavilion¡¯s main door. ¡°Xue¡¯er!¡± Yan Lin cried out anxiously. ¡°Old Man, you dared to provoke me? Do you want to die? !¡± With that, Yan Lin immediately rushed over and was about to clash against the old man on the spot. General Manager Su, who was at the side, reacted quickly and immediately pulled Yan Lin back, who was about to make a move. ¡°Young Master Yan, don¡¯t be rash. You can¡¯t afford to offend him!¡± General Manager Su pulled Yan Lin far away. The beads of sweat on his forehead streamed down; it was clear that he was afraid of the old man. Yan Lin also recovered from General Manager Su¡¯s pull immediately. To be honest, Yan Lin had never seen this Pill Pavilion¡¯s general manager so anxious before¡­ He was afraid. It seemed the old man wasn¡¯t an ordinary person¡­ ¡°Little friend, it¡¯s just a small incident.¡± ¡°Please come with me to the attic!¡± The old man seemed to be in a hurry to get an answer from Jiang Chen. He didn¡¯t even bother to look at Yan Lin. He turned around and gestured to Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen didn¡¯t waste any time either. He walked up to the attic with the old man elegantly. There were luxurious private rooms in the pavilion. The old man led Jiang Chen into the best heaven-class private rooms. ¡°Little friend, I wonder if you were telling the truth when you said you have a solution.¡± Although the old man was straightforward, he still respected Jiang Chen¡¯s every word and action. Then, the old man gestured to the girl beside him to take off her scarf. The moment it was taken off, a beautiful, flawless face appeared before Jiang Chen¡¯s eyes. However, facing such a beautiful young girl, Jiang Chen only took a glance at her. Then, he extended a finger and said. ¡°Of course I was telling the truth. I have a way to neutralize her lunar toxins. But I have a request.¡± ¡°I will neutralize her lunar toxins, but this girl has to stay by my side while I do that!¡± Jiang Chen didn¡¯t have such a request because he took a fancy to this girl. He had other intentions. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t offer to help a stranger neutralize the power of lunar toxins for nothing, right? ¡°Little friend, this¡­¡± The old man seemed hesitant at first, but when he thought about the outcome of not dissolving the power of lunar toxins, he spoke slowly, ¡°Little friend, I don¡¯t even know if what you said is true or not. How can I promise you that then?¡± Even though the old man said that, he was almost sure that the youngster in front of him would be able to neutralize the power of lunar toxins. After all, in a small place like the North Mountain City, almost no one knew about the lunar body. And no one could see through the lunar body at a glance. Except¡­ people who knew the lunar body very well. ¡°Old guy, don¡¯t waste my time. I can see that she has one foot in the grave. I¡¯m afraid she only has seven or eight days left!¡± ¡°In these eight days, you can consider it. If you think my request is feasible, just bring her to the True Martial Sect!¡± Jiang Chen didn¡¯t continue talking. He stood up and left the room directly. The old man and the beautiful girl were thinking about something as they watched Jiang Chen leave. After a long time, the girl spoke up. ¡°Grandfather, he¡¯s about the same age as me. Is what he said true?¡± The young girl bit her lip and frowned. The old man sighed and said, ¡°It¡¯s true. I can see through your Extreme lunar body with one look, and I can tell that you don¡¯t have much time left.¡± ¡°Even if you don¡¯t believe me, there¡¯s no time left¡­¡± ¡°As long as there¡¯s hope to cure my granddaughter, I am willing to pay any price!¡± ¡­ At the same time. In the lobby of the first floor of the Pill Pavilion, a group of alchemists surrounded Jiang Chen. They were staring at him with burning eyes. General Manager Su, who was from the Elixir Pavilion, didn¡¯t dare to say anything. He was pushed away by the group of alchemists. ¡°Hey! What are you doing?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a pill formula practiced by a low-level practitioner? Do you have to be like this?¡± Jiang Chen looked at the excited alchemists in confusion. General Manager Su, who was standing not far away, was even more confused. He hadn¡¯t expected these alchemists, who usually didn¡¯t care about anyone, to call this ragged-looking youngster a master.. Chapter 12 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Master, please¡­ take a seat!¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know. I just refined the essence soul pill according to the method you wrote. But¡­ I wasn¡¯t good at it. I didn¡¯t succeed!¡± The alchemist, who had taken Jiang Chen¡¯s essence soul pill formula, asked, ¡°Master, may I know your name?¡± ¡°He¡¯s just a good-for-nothing!¡± Jiang Chen looked at the alchemist speechlessly. He had clearly written down the formula to refine the essence soul pill. If he had followed the method written on it, he would have been able to refine the essence soul pill at least once. Jiang Chen hadn¡¯t expected that the alchemist would waste a whole batch of essence soul herbs. How bad was his aptitude! ¡°Since you¡¯ve failed to refine the essence soul pill, leave the essence soul herb to me!¡± ¡°Of course. Of course.¡± Then, the alchemist looked at General Manager Su, who was standing in the corner, and said, ¡°General Manager Su, give the essence soul herb to Master!¡± ¡°What are you waiting for? Hurry up!¡± The alchemists were afraid that they would upset Jiang Chen. All of them looked at General Manager Su and urged him to go get the spirit herbs. General Manager Su didn¡¯t even dare to breathe loudly. After all, he couldn¡¯t afford to offend anyone! ¡°My lords, please give me a moment. I-I will go get it right away.¡± General Manager Su dragged his fat body and trotted away to get the essence soul herb. Soon! General Manager Su returned to the hall and handed the bag full of essence soul herbs to Jiang Chen. ¡°Master Jiang, these are all the essence soul herbs of our Pill Pavilion. Please keep them.¡± Yan Lin, who was standing aside, flew into a mad rage upon seeing this. ¡°Huh! General Manager Su, what do you mean?!¡± ¡°I, Yan Lin, bought some of them with a high-grade Spirit Stone first. Why did you give all the essence soul herbs to him? Where¡¯s mine?¡± Yan Lin helped Tang Xue, who was injured, sit down and started to scold General Manager Su. A high-grade spirit stone? The alchemists surrounding Jiang Chen had a strange look on their faces when they heard him. The alchemist whom Jiang Chen handed the pill formula said disdainfully, ¡°Humph! The pill formula of the essence soul pill isn¡¯t something a mere high-grade Spirit Stone can compare to!¡± ¡°Even a thousand high-grade Spirit Stones aren¡¯t worth mentioning in front of it!¡± When the other alchemists heard this, they started to berate General Manager Su. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you? Is this how you treat a master?¡± ¡°You¡¯re simply a vulgar person!¡± Hearing the alchemists berating him one after another, General Manager Su was so scared that his limbs were trembling. He hurriedly apologized with a smile. ¡°Master, I¡¯m sorry. Fellow Daoists, my eyes are poor. I¡¯ve neglected this master.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, General Manager Su stared coldly at the instigator of this matter, Yan Lin. ¡°Yan Lin! What are you still standing in the Pill Pavilion for!?¡± ¡°The essence soul herb is already in the hands of this master. Please leave!¡± General Manager Su¡¯s expression changed so quickly that he immediately called out Yan Lin¡¯s name in a cold voice. In the eyes of General Manager Su, Yan Lin was simply worthless compared to this group of alchemists in front of him. If he angered these alchemists, he would be in big trouble. It wasn¡¯t an exaggeration to say that if Yan Lin was allowed to continue being arrogant, the small Sunnywood Town would be razed to the ground! ¡°Kid, just you wait!¡± ¡°I, Yan Lin, will definitely get back at you for what you did today!¡± Yan Lin wasn¡¯t a complete idiot. After he saw that things weren¡¯t going well, he left the Pill Pavilion with Tang Xue. Holding the bag of soul essence herbs, Jiang Chen was about to go back to the sect to refine pills. However, he suddenly remembered that the True Martial Sect was poor. Of course, they didn¡¯t have a pill furnace anymore. How could he refine pills without a pill furnace? Then, Jiang Chen looked at the alchemists in front of him with a slight gleam in his eyes. ¡°I wonder if you can lend me the pill furnace of the Pill Pavilion. I need to refine some pills.¡± Hearing Jiang Chen¡¯s request, the alchemists¡¯ eyes turned red. They looked excited. ¡°Master, forgo the formality. You gave us such a precious pill formula. You can use the things in the Pill Pavilion as you like.¡± ¡°General Manager Su, go clean the alchemy chamber for Master. We¡¯ll use it soon!¡± The alchemists were very excited because of the pill formula that Jiang Chen had given them. In their opinion, anyone who could easily produce the pill formula that had been passed down in the Red Sun continent for thousands of years was either a disciple of a big family or a descendant of some inheritance. Such a person was definitely better than them in the field of alchemy. Now that someone better than them was going to refine pills, it would be a great opportunity for them to observe. How could they miss it? ¡°I haven¡¯t refined pills in a long time. I guess I¡¯m a little rusty. Please don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± Jiang Chen said this modestly, but it was from the bottom of his heart. After all, even he himself couldn¡¯t remember clearly. It had been thousands of years since he had refined pills. It was inevitable that he would be rusty. Soon, General Manager Su, whose face was covered in dirt, finished cleaning up the alchemy chamber. Led by a group of alchemists, Jiang Chen soon came to the alchemy chamber. In the middle of the chamber, there were several pill furnaces. Around the furnaces were shelves of spirit herbs. ¡°Master, the alchemy chamber is a bit shabby. Please make do with it.¡± ¡°Master, please take whatever you want. You can just tell us when you¡¯re refining pills.¡± The group of alchemists were very polite. They were extremely respectful to Jiang Chen. At this moment, an old man with a head full of white hair stood up in front of a pill furnace. He came up to Jiang Chen calmly. Besides practicing martial arts, there were many other professions in the Red Sun continent. Alchemists, runemakers, array formation masters, and so on¡­ These special professions weren¡¯t very powerful, but they were rare, and not many people were able to learn them. Thus, these special profession cultivators all had their own pride in their bones. Take the alchemists in front of them as an example. Every person who cultivated martial arts would use medicinal pills to aid their cultivation. Thus, the profession of an alchemist could be said to be very noble. When the old man appeared, the alchemists around him all shut their mouths as if they were children meeting an adult. It was obvious that the old man¡¯s identity wasn¡¯t ordinary! ¡°Young man, do you know what it means to refine pills? Spirit herbs are very precious. Don¡¯t waste them!¡± Jiang Chen didn¡¯t pay attention to him. Instead, he picked up some spirit herbs from the medicine rack and prepared to refine a Blood Spirit Pill. When the old man saw that Jiang Chen didn¡¯t pay attention to him and was about to continue lecturing the ignorant young man, his gaze suddenly fell on the spirit herbs that Jiang Chen had just picked up. ¡°Are you perhaps going to refine a Blood Spirit Pill?¡± The old man frowned and asked in confusion. ¡°You¡¯re quite discerning!¡± Jiang Chen answered casually while picking up the herbs by himself.. Chapter 13 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The Blood Spirit Pill that Jiang Chen was going to refine this time mainly consisted of ingredients such as blood spirit herbs, ordinary spirit herbs, and some other medicinal herbs. The Blood Spirit Pill¡¯s effect was enough for an ordinary cultivator to break through to the late stage of the Physical Realm in an instant! The old man looked contemptuous when he heard that Jiang Chen was going to refine the Blood Spirit Pill. ¡°Little friend, don¡¯t brag. Aren¡¯t you afraid of hurting your tongue!¡± ¡°Do you know how difficult it is to refine the Blood Spirit Pill? Even I am unable to successfully brew the Blood Spirit Pill. What gives you the confidence that you would be able to do it? Don¡¯t waste these precious ingredients!¡± No matter how composed Jiang Chen was, he couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Just because you can¡¯t do it doesn¡¯t mean I can¡¯t either!¡± ¡°You look so old. Why are you so arrogant? I wonder what grade you belong to.¡± As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, the alchemists who were silent till now changed their expressions. It was because this old man was an alchemist from Sunnywood Town. The old man¡¯s name was Tong Mu, and he was a third-grade alchemist! As a third-grade alchemist in Sunnywood Town, he was probably one of the top alchemists. This old man was even on equal footing with the division masters of the Pill Pavilion and the Martial Arts Pavilion! ¡°Master, Senior Tong is a third-grade alchemist,¡± an alchemist, who was close to Jiang Chen, said carefully. ¡°Third-grade?¡± Jiang Chen was surprised. He hadn¡¯t expected the old man in front of him to be a third-grade alchemist! Instead, he thought the old man was arrogant and condescending because he was at least a top-class alchemist. But what Jiang Chen hadn¡¯t expected was that the old man was only a third-class alchemist! Before Jiang Chen was reborn, he had started practicing martial arts at the age of three, stepped into the world of alchemy at the age of seven, and became a ninth-grade alchemist at the age of fifteen! Jiang Chen knew his cultivation aptitude so he didn¡¯t usually compete with others, for fear of hurting them. But this Tong Mu in front of him¡­ He was in his 80s or 90s, but he was only a third-grade alchemist. His aptitude was far worse than those people that Jiang Chen knew! ¡°Third-grade? What right does this old man have to point fingers at me?¡± Jiang Chen ignored him. He focused all his energy toward the furnace. After all, actions speak louder than words. He threw the spiritual herbs into the furnace casually. Upon seeing this casual look, all the alchemists present couldn¡¯t help but twitch their lips. It was known that alchemists always followed the order in which they refined pills such as to warm the furnace before administering the herbs, control the intensity of the pill flame, and the order of pills to be added was also important in every pill formula. There must not be any mistakes in any of the steps. Once there were errors, the pill would be ruined. ¡°Master, you really know how to refine pills? You¡¯re not lying, are you?¡± ¡°Eh¡­ the herbs are already placed there. Don¡¯t blow up the furnace, Master!¡± The alchemists looked at each other, wondering if Jiang Chen really knew how to refine pills. ¡°Eh¡­ I think we misunderstood him. I don¡¯t think he knows how to refine pills. I think we¡¯re the ones who called him master.¡± Jiang Chen didn¡¯t pay any attention to them. He was controlling the furnace. After all, he hadn¡¯t refined pills for thousands of years. He couldn¡¯t afford to be distracted. Jiang Chen placed his hand beside the furnace. He closed his palm and injected his True Qi into the furnace. When his True Qi entered the furnace, it instantly turned into flames, enveloping the whole furnace in flames. Surrounded by the flames, Jiang Chen kept controlling the transmission of his True Qi. He was also controlling the herbs in the furnace to fuse with each other. After a short while, some shadows could be seen emerging in the steaming flames in the furnace. Jiang Chen¡¯s display of alchemy stunned everyone. ¡°Holy sh*t. What kind of alchemy technique is this? Why haven¡¯t I seen it before?¡± ¡°Wonderful, wonderful! He¡¯s still able to continue refining pills even in this state!¡± The crowd gasped in surprise when they saw Jiang Chen¡¯s alchemy technique, but they didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Although the alchemy technique is good, it¡¯s useless if you can¡¯t refine pills!¡± Looking at Jiang Chen¡¯s pill furnace, Tong Mu shook his head and said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s already good enough that the furnace didn¡¯t explode. It¡¯s impossible to refine the pill.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pity that we wasted all of the ingredients in one furnace!¡± However, as soon as Tong Mu finished speaking, something unexpected happened in the furnace! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Suddenly, a buzzing sound came from the furnace, followed by a tremor. Right after, the shadow of a cauldron bloom slowly appeared. But what was even more shocking was that along with the shadow of the cauldron bloom, there was actually a blood-red, bodhi-like medicinal pill! ¡°It has only been a short while, and the Blood Spirit Pill has already been refined?¡± ¡°This¡­ This is a cauldron bloom. It is the highest-grade pill! It¡¯s a phenomenon that only happens when a peerless alchemist refines pills. This is definitely a highest-grade pill!¡± ¡°I actually witnessed the phenomenon of the cauldron bloom. I¡¯ll be satisfied even if I die now! Haha!¡± At this moment, everyone was utterly surprised, just like the arrogant Tong Mu. He was also deeply shocked and couldn¡¯t extricate himself! An ordinary alchemist would need at least two hours to refine a batch of pills. However, Jiang Chen directly crushed their understanding. It had only been a dozen breaths¡¯ time! Not only that, but they were also able to witness the phenomenon of the cauldron bloom. To their surprise, Jiang Chen managed to refine a pill, a highest-grade pill at that. However, just as the crowd was amazed by the result, Jiang Chen let out a sigh. ¡°Alas! It¡¯s a pity that I only managed to refine a highest-grade pill. I see now that my skills have indeed deteriorated.¡± They saw Jiang Chen holding a blood-red pill in his hand; however, he was looking at the pill with disdain. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen a highest-grade pill in my life. Master¡­ how can you despise it so much?¡± ¡°Is this the difference between me and Master?¡± They couldn¡¯t imagine why Jiang Chen would be so disappointed by a highest-grade Blood Spirit Pill! At this moment, someone couldn¡¯t help but ask Jiang Chen, ¡°Master, what do you mean by ¡°only¡±? Isn¡¯t a highest-grade pill enough for you?¡± In the Red Sun Continent, pills were split into different grades. From bottom to top, it¡¯s normal-grade, middle-grade, high-grade, top-grade, and highest-grade. Then, they were further categorized into four classes: yellow, black, earth, and heaven! In the past, anything Jiang Chen brewed ended up as a heaven-grade pill. If it was an earth-grade pill or anything other than a heaven-grade pill, Jiang Chen regarded it as a failure! However, at this moment, the pill furnace, which had been calm, started to tremble again. The next moment, the pill furnace lit up with multiple colors. Lotus flowers appeared one after another. Three breaths later, under the shocked gazes of the crowd, a pill, which was even smaller than the Blood Spirit Pill in Jiang Chen¡¯s hand, appeared. It was also covered with obscure patterns of pills. ¡°Oh! I didn¡¯t expect such a pleasant surprise!¡± Jiang Chen took the pill in his hand. A smile gradually appeared on his face. ¡°That¡¯s impossible! There was only one ingredient. How could there be two pills?¡± ¡°They look different and are of different sizes. Could they be different pills?¡± The group of alchemists was dumbfounded. This batch of two pills was beyond their knowledge.. They couldn¡¯t understand what was going on at all! Chapter 14 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Gemini Pill!¡± At this moment, Tong Mu exclaimed. Apparently, he knew what this pill was. ¡°It¡¯s said that only pill above the highest-grade will have a chance of producing Gemini Pills. One of them is the main ingredient, and the other is an auxiliary ingredient!¡± Tong Mu opened his eyes wide. He couldn¡¯t calm down for a long time! ¡°Not bad. You¡¯re quite talented!¡± ¡°Looks like this one really knows his stuff. So tell me, was I really just spreading fake news?¡± Jiang Chen teased. Whoosh! Tong Mu¡¯s old face flushed instantly when he heard Jiang Chen¡¯s words. He put his hand against his head and looked ashamed. His attitude toward Jiang Chen¡¯s scolding was extremely arrogant, and it was obvious to everyone present. They didn¡¯t expect that he, Tong Mu, would be the clown in the end. ¡­ ¡°Alright! Thank you for lending me your cauldron!¡± After taking the pills, Jiang Chen strode out. Since he had refined a better essence soul pill, the most important thing now was to go back and improve his cultivation base! When the group of alchemists saw that Jiang Chen was about to leave, they tried to persuade him. After all, even if they couldn¡¯t persuade a man to stay, they had to do their best to leave a good impression on him. ¡°Master, master.¡± ¡°If you have nowhere else to go for the time being, would you like to stay in our Pill Pavilion? Our Pill Pavilion treats its members very well.¡± A few alchemists at the side quickly followed suit. ¡°Master, our Pill Pavilion in Sunnywood Town is the best. If you don¡¯t mind, you can stay here!¡± The alchemists walked on both sides of Jiang Chen, trying to persuade him. ¡°No need. I have to go back to the True Martial Sect!¡± Jiang Chen waved his hand and refused their kindness. ¡°Grandmaster, are you from the True Martial Sect?¡± They all knew the True Martial Sect. After all, it was the major sect in the continent 5,000 years ago! However, the True Martial Sect had declined greatly. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that there were only a few sects, the True Martial Sect wouldn¡¯t even be worthy of the title of a ninth-grade sect. Everyone was dejected. They couldn¡¯t understand why an alchemist who could refine elixirs of superior quality would come from a mere ninth-grade sect! Not long after, Jiang Chen left the Pill Pavilion! Tong Mu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly did something that surprised the people of the Pill Pavilion. They saw Tong Mu gather his belongings. Then, he intended to leave the Pill Pavilion slowly with his baggage on his back! ¡°Master Tong, where are you going?¡± Hearing what the alchemists of the Pill Pavilion asked, Tong Mu replied with some determination in his eyes, ¡°I¡¯m going to the True Martial Sect to find the master!¡± The alchemists were shocked! ¡°Ah! Find the master?¡± ¡°You¡¯re a third-grade alchemist. Are you going to find a master or a disciple?¡± ¡°Could it be¡­ you¡¯re going to find the master from just now?¡± ¡­ At the same time, at the entrance of Sunnywood Town. ¡°Yan Lin?¡± Looking at the black-robed men in front of him, Jiang Chen became serious. He hadn¡¯t expected Yan Lin to come for him soon after leaving the Pill Pavilion. But so what! According to Jiang Chen¡¯s estimation of his strength, plus the martial arts techniques he had mastered, even late-stage Physical Realm cultivators couldn¡¯t face him easily! ¡°Kid, you didn¡¯t expect me to come so soon, did you?¡± Yan Lin came up to Jiang Chen and spoke arrogantly. A cold killing intent flashed in his eyes. Jiang Chen didn¡¯t take Yan Lin, a mid-level Physical Realm cultivator, seriously. The two old men beside him caught Jiang Chen¡¯s attention. The two old men were both in the early stage of the Origin Realm. They must be elders of the Yan Sect. Although Jiang Chen wasn¡¯t afraid of people in the late stage of the Physical Realm, there was still a big gap between him and the two old men in the Origin Realm. ¡°From the looks of it, you went to get help as soon as you left the Pill Pavilion!¡± Jiang Chen smiled disdainfully. He thought to himself, ¡®Looks like I¡¯ll have to show some tricks to get out of here today! Troublesome!¡¯ ¡®If I don¡¯t use my tricks, the original owner of this body, Jiang Chen, will die here today!¡¯ ¡°Haha, poor kid from the countryside. I, Yan Lin, will never let you leave this place alive today. Just wait for your death!¡± Right then, Yan Lin gestured at the two old men beside him. ¡°Cut off his head!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll see who dares to attack!¡± Just as the two old men were about to attack, an angry shout was suddenly heard. In the blink of an eye, a white-haired old man carrying a bag on his back rushed over to Jiang Chen¡¯s side. He shouted angrily at Yan Lin again, ¡°Get lost! Don¡¯t make me attack!¡± ¡°It¡¯s him? Why is he here? But it¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll have to pay for what I¡¯ve done!¡± ¡®It would be great if someone could settle it for me!¡¯ Jiang Chen thought to himself when he saw who it was. It was none other than Tong Mu, who had left the Pill Pavilion to become a disciple of Jiang Chen. ¡°Master Tong, are you trying to protect this poor kid?¡± Looking at the old man in front of him, Yan Lin was lost. He hadn¡¯t expected Tong Mu from Sunnywood Town to show up here. ¡°Grandmaster is an honored guest of our Pill Pavilion! Did your Yan Sect taste the bear¡¯s heart and leopard¡¯s guts? How dare someone like you insult our Pill Pavilion¡¯s honored guest?¡± ¡°Dressed in rags, and he¡¯s an honored guest of the Pill Pavilion?¡± ¡°Could it be some kind of mistake?¡± Hearing Tong Mu¡¯s words, Yan Lin was immediately dumbfounded. Although Sunnywood Town¡¯s Pill Pavilion was only a division, it still brought along the dignity of the Pill Pavilion! Basically, there were very few people who could become honored guests of the Pill Pavilion. Even if Yan Lin¡¯s father came, he reckoned that he wouldn¡¯t be able to become an honored guest of the Pill Pavilion! Honored guests weren¡¯t called for nothing. If one became an honored guest, they would enjoy the protection of the Pill Pavilion. If that was the case, how could he take revenge? ¡°Grandmaster Tong, I¡¯ve investigated this man. He¡¯s just the new leader of the True Martial Sect. What right does he have to be treated as your honored guest?¡± Yan Lin wasn¡¯t willing to give up. He continued to ask Tong Mu. ¡°What? Why do you care? The Yan Sect is just an eighth-grade sect! How dare you question the Pill Pavilion¡¯s decision?¡± ¡°Forget a small eighth-grade sect like you guys, even a first-grade sect wouldn¡¯t dare trifle with the Pill Pavilion. Who do you think you are?¡± Tong Mu stared at Yan Lin, who didn¡¯t dare to say anything, and spoke slowly. Yan Lin had no choice. Jiang Chen had received the protection of the Pill Pavilion today, so Yan Lin had to shut his mouth and leave with his people, for fear that he would end up making enemies with the Pill Pavilion. ¡°Grandmaster Tong, we¡¯ll take our leave first!¡± ¡­ After Yan Lin and his people left, Tong Mu seemed like a completely different person. He looked at Jiang Chen and said with a smile. ¡°Master, I am afraid the Yan Sect wouldn¡¯t just leave things at that. How about¡­ I escort you back to the True Martial Sect?¡± Tong Mu¡¯s face was red, and embarrassment was written all over his face. ¡°You really want to escort me back to the True Martial Sect?¡± Jiang Chen looked at Tong Mu¡¯s luggage. He instantly knew what this man was trying to do! However, he didn¡¯t refuse him since there weren¡¯t any strong cultivators in the True Martial Sect now.. If the Yan sect really came to attack them, Jiang Chen¡¯s methods would be limited, and he would have to pay a heavy price! Chapter 15 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Oh right, grab a couple of horses and bring along some herbs and cauldrons with you.¡± ¡°My True Martial Sect doesn¡¯t have them for now!¡± Hearing Jiang Chen¡¯s words, Tong Mu was very excited. He didn¡¯t dare delay any longer. He hurried to make arrangements. Tong Mu came back in less than the time it took an incense stick to burn. However, it didn¡¯t seem like he came back alone¡­ Jiang Chen saw Tong Mu leading a few horses, followed by a group of alchemists. His elder brother was carrying a bag and holding a pill furnace. Seeing this, Jiang Chen shouted, ¡°Good guy!¡±! He wasn¡¯t going back to prepare materials. He was obviously going to bring all the alchemists from the Pill Pavilion to the True Martial Sect! In the blink of an eye, almost half of the alchemists from the Pill Pavilion had been brought here. ¡°Master, isn¡¯t Yan Lin from the sect? If we run into him on the way, he must have some helpers. I went back to find some helpers.¡± Tong Mu scratched the back of his head and said awkwardly. The alchemists behind him also hurried to agree. ¡°Master, don¡¯t worry¡­ We¡¯re here to escort you.¡± Jiang Chen¡¯s mouth twitched. A group of alchemists were lying through their teeth. Jiang Chen didn¡¯t refuse them. After all, the True Martial Sect could tell how many elders were in the Origin Realm, which was barely enough. However, it was hard to tell with just a glance. The most powerful outer disciples were only in the middle stage of the Spirit Realm, while the most powerful inner disciples were only in the early stage of Physical Realm. It wasn¡¯t an exaggeration to say that the combined strength of these disciples of the True Martial Sect wasn¡¯t enough to defeat Jiang Chen alone. If these alchemists went to the True Martial Sect, they would be able to refine pills and help the disciples improve their cultivation base. Then, Jiang Chen and the other alchemists left Sunnywood Town without any further delay. ¡­ ¡°Grandpa, what¡¯s going on? Those alchemists seem to hold him in very high regard,¡± Bai Fengyu asked in a soft voice. At the entrance of Sunnywood Town, the old man and the girl, whom Jiang Chen had met in the Pill Pavilion, were watching silently. The old man¡¯s name was Bai Hongyun, and the young girl¡¯s name was Bai Fengyu. ¡°I don¡¯t know. But since these alchemists are so respectful to him, he must be a high-grade alchemist after all!¡± Bai Hongyun and Bai Fengyu were already there. They had initially planned to ask Jiang Chen to help cure Bai Fengyu, but they didn¡¯t show up after Tong Mu arrived. ¡°A high-grade alchemist?¡± Bai Fengyu narrowed her eyes. She whispered to herself as she watched him leave. ¡°Grandpa, are we going to the True Martial Sect then?¡± Bai Fengyu asked. ¡°We are. Just not now. We should observe him for a little bit more.¡± Bai Hongyun said. ¡­ With the spirit horse, Jiang Chen arrived at the True Martial Sect within a short time. Two hours later, in the True Martial Sect. Jiang Chen wasn¡¯t in a hurry to check on his disciples. After he had arranged for Tong Mu and the other alchemists, he went directly to the main hall of the sect leader. Jiang Chen only wanted to improve his cultivation as soon as possible. He was forced to use his trump card when he met a powerhouse in the Origin Realm. He was still too weak! When the spirit gathering array formation was activated, the primordial qi of heaven and earth in the surrounding area swarmed over. ¡°Alas! It¡¯s only of the black grade. I guess I¡¯ll have to make do with this. I can open a few spiritual meridians!¡± Looking at the black-grade Blood Spirit Pill in his hand, Jiang Chen sighed slightly. After the spirit gathering array formation was activated, Jiang Chen swallowed the pill and activated the constellation of nine turns technique at the same time. One minute¡­ Five minutes¡­ After the time it took an incense stick to burn, the Blood Spirit Pill started to take effect. Buzz! The True Qi in Jiang Chen¡¯s body started to explode incessantly. It was circling around his body. In an instant, his flesh, blood, meridians, and internal organs felt like they were set on fire. It was torturing his sense of pain! However, Jiang Chen, who had experienced this countless times, only had some beads of sweat on his forehead! Ten seconds later, the violent True Qi was gradually suppressed by Jiang Chen. It gradually integrated into his own True Qi! Boom! The 31st spiritual meridian was opened! The effect of the Blood Spirit Pill had yet to disappear. Jiang Chen was still focused on cultivating. Time passed bit by bit! After half a day, the effect of the Blood Spirit Pill finally disappeared. Jiang Chen had opened 34 spiritual meridians! ¡°Whew, it¡¯s over!¡± ¡°As expected, the medicinal property of a black-grade pill is far too weak. I¡¯ve only managed to open up four of my spiritual meridians!¡± Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly. In fact, the effect of a black-grade Blood Spirit Pill wasn¡¯t considered too bad. One blood spirit pill was enough for a person in the early stage of the Spirit Realm to break through to the late stage of the Physical Realm. However, Jiang Chen needed too much True Qi to reach full effects. Thus, the Blood Spirit Pill only managed to open up just four spiritual meridians in his body. At this moment, Ye Qizheng¡¯s anxious voice rang out in Jiang Chen¡¯s ears. ¡°Sect leader, the Yan Sect¡­ the Yan Sect¡¯s people are back!¡± ¡°Besides, it seems like they won¡¯t let our True Martial Sect off this time!¡± Ye Qizheng said with a slight sigh. ¡°The Yan Sect? What a bunch of annoying flies!¡± Jiang Cheng shouted coldly. He stood up and walked towards the training arena. When Jiang Chen arrived at the training arena, he saw Yan Lin leading a group of elders and a group of disciples of the Yan Sect and shouting angrily. It seems that the True Martial Sect was clearly outnumbered by the Yan Sect this time. There weren¡¯t many people in the True Martial Sect to begin with, and those that were there had weak cultivation bases! ¡°Jiang Chen, I originally let you off because of the Pill Pavilion. But you actually killed the grand elder of the Yan Sect. Today, I will definitely make you pay with your life!¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t believe me when I told you I killed Ling Wu. Why are you seeking revenge now?¡± The corners of Jiang Chen¡¯s mouth curled up slightly as he spoke disdainfully. ¡°Humph! I didn¡¯t know your identity before. And I didn¡¯t get the news either. Today, I shall take your life!¡± Although Yan Lin was arrogant, he was still afraid. He didn¡¯t dare to take action right away. After all, even the grand elder of their sect, who was at the late stage of the Origin Realm, had been killed by Jiang Chen. If he were impulsive, it would have been dreadful if he died the same way as Ling Wu! Jiang Chen, of course, noticed their concerns. ¡°Revenge? The True Martial Sect will welcome you at any time, but only if you come in and attack first!¡± In the sect, the souls of Jiang Chen¡¯s eight disciples were still there. Of course, he wasn¡¯t afraid of those from the Yan Sect. However, the divine souls of his eight disciples would become weaker each time they were used. Jiang Chen didn¡¯t plan to use them unless it was the last resort. ¡°Jiang Chen, don¡¯t be so arrogant!¡± ¡°We haven¡¯t yet gathered all the experts from the Yan Sect. When we do, it will be time for your True Martial Sect to be exterminated!¡± ¡°When that time comes, I will definitely massacre all 100-odd people in your True Martial Sect!¡± Chapter 16 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Experts from the Yan Sect?¡± ¡°Thank you for the reminder. It sure does seem like I should begin with my preparations too!¡± Jiang Chen¡¯s lips curled up slightly, and he revealed a mocking smile. Boom! In an instant, the divine soul, which was like a sharp sword, rushed towards Yan Lin! A golden radiance, along with sword energy, fist intent, sword light, and all sorts of ancient divine patterns, burst out, forcing Yan Lin and the Yan Sect¡¯s people into retreating. The disciples of the True Martial Sect widened their eyes at this scene. They couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in disbelief. ¡°What is this? Why does it feel so familiar?¡± ¡°Sect Leader, you are too domineering! I thought you would use the power of the sect¡¯s protection array to protect the dao. I didn¡¯t expect you to have other methods!¡± ¡­ Outside the training arena, when Yan Lin and the others saw the dazzling golden light, a trace of fear appeared in their eyes. They immediately retreated without any hesitation. ¡°You want to retreat now?¡± ¡°It¡¯s too late!¡± Jiang Chen focused his eyes. The True Qi in his body suddenly burst out and surged into the sky. Suddenly, Jiang Chen¡¯s feet left the ground. He disappeared from where he was just now. In a flash, Jiang Chen arrived in front of Yan Lin and the others! ¡°Soul sealing mark!¡± With an angry shout, Jiang Chen put his fingers together and launched a punch. His punch landed on Yan Lin¡¯s chest, activating the soul sealing mark. After the soul sealing mark was activated, Jiang Chen came back to the spot where he initially was. ¡°My cultivation base¡­ My cultivation base¡­¡± ¡°Damn it! What have you done? Why can¡¯t I feel my cultivation base?¡± ¡°Trash! You trash! Why didn¡¯t you stop him when he attacked me?!¡± Yan Lin was panicking. He looked at Jiang Chen in fear while cursing the elders beside him! ¡°Stop me? Dream on!¡± Jiang Chen laughed disdainfully. Jiang Chen had used the divine souls of the eight disciples to suppress the elders beside Yan Lin! The moment he suppressed them, all Jiang Chen had to do was to put the soul sealing mark within Yan Lin¡¯s body. After Yan Lin was injected with the soul sealing mark, it was as if his cultivation was crippled. ¡°You are the young master of the Yan Sect, right? If the Yan Sect dares to show yourselves at our True Martial Sect in the next ten days, then that mark shall remain within you till your last breath!¡± ¡°However, since you don¡¯t have any cultivation left now, it would be good for you to become a cripple!¡± Jiang Chen ridiculed him. ¡°Soul sealing mark?¡± ¡°Despicable b*stard. You¡¯re so shameless!¡± ¡°How dare you seal my cultivation?¡± Yan Lin looked at Jiang Chen with hatred in his eyes, as if he wanted to swallow him whole. However, after he knew that his cultivation wasn¡¯t really crippled, Yan Lin quickly calmed down, and his arrogant laughter reverberated throughout the True Martial Sect! In Yan Lin¡¯s eyes, Jiang Chen was just a Spirit Realm cultivator. Since he was a cultivator at the Spirit Realm, how powerful would the seal he had used be? It seemed the elders at the Origin Realm around him could undo the seal easily. ¡°Don¡¯t you think you¡¯re overestimating yourself a little too much? Did you really think your seal would amount to much? What a joke!¡± Then, Yan Lin winked at the elders beside him. The elders went up to him and extended their hands, pressing them on Yan Lin¡¯s chest where the seal was placed. What the elders of the Yan sect wanted to do was to undo the seal on Yan Lin¡¯s body with their magnificent True Qi of the Origin Realm. But it was set by Jiang Chen. So how could the soul sealing mark be broken easily? Jiang Chen must have thought of a way to preserve the seal from being broken by force, right? In the next instant, when the elders of the Yan Sect injected their True Qi into the seal, Yan Lin¡¯s expression became ghastly. His internal organs felt as though they had been pierced by thousands of arrows! ¡°Ah!¡± Screams kept coming out of Yan Lin¡¯s mouth. ¡°Stop!¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to die if you keep injecting your qi! Stop!¡± ¡­ The elders of the Yan Sect were shocked when they heard Yan Lin¡¯s screams. They stopped transmitting their True Qi right away. ¡°Haha. Didn¡¯t you look down on my seal? Seems like even these Origin Realm elders can¡¯t break it?¡± Jiang Chen mocked him. He had expected such an outcome. ¡°The soul sealing mark. The only way you can undo this seal by yourselves is to find a willing Dao Realm cultivator to sacrifice his own blood essence!¡± Jiang Chen focused his gaze. He said seriously, ¡°That seal will only remain within you for ten days. After that, it will disappear on its own.¡± ¡°However, should the Yan Sect return here before then, your life will be the price they pay!¡± Yan Lin wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and answered, ¡°A ten-day time limit?¡± ¡°Huh! That is no threat to our sect. You don¡¯t have the power to resist us after ten days.¡± Yan Lin was right. The seal would be broken after ten days. And in these short ten days, the True Martial Sect would still be the same. There wouldn¡¯t be any major improvements in the sect, and the Yan Sect could easily break through! What Yan Lin had to do was to wait! He just had to wait quietly for ten days. ¡°Is that so? Now that I have injected the soul sealing mark within your body, your life and death will be decided with a single thought of mine!¡± As he spoke, Jiang Chen spread out his five fingers. A golden hexagram star diagram appeared around them. All of a sudden, the hexagram star diagram started revolving, and the Primordial Qi in Yan Lin¡¯s body started to stir uncontrollably. In a short moment, before Yan Lin could even scream, some of his meridians had already been destroyed. Even some of his spiritual meridians had been destroyed under Jiang Chen¡¯s control. ¡°How does it feel?¡± Jiang Chen asked in a cold voice. ¡°Ten days is enough. Get lost. Otherwise, you might lose some of your meridians!¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± Jiang Chen put down his hand slowly. The hexagram star diagram disappeared. ¡°You¡­ Huh!¡± Yan Lin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. At that moment, he was really afraid. If his meridians were damaged, his life would be over. Maybe his father would find someone else for the position of the young master. After all, it wasn¡¯t impossible for him to find a new young master. ¡°Humph! The Yan Sect will wait for you for ten days!¡± ¡°Your True Martial Sect¡¯s protection array is already broken. I¡¯ll see how you can resist then!¡± Yan Lin muttered. He was fuming with anger. Then, he hurried to leave the territory of the True Martial Sect along with the elders of the Yan Sect. Ye Qizheng, who was standing not far away, wanted to discuss with Jiang Chen how they would defend the sect after ten days. However, before he could say anything, Jiang Chen had already left. After Jiang Chen left the True Martial Sect¡¯s training arena, he went straight to look for Tong Mu and his group of alchemists. He wanted to see how they were doing.. Chapter 17 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Jiang Chen had just arrived at Tong Mu¡¯s residence when he saw him and the group of alchemists he brought refining pills. Tong Mu, who had sharp eyes, instantly sensed Jiang Chen¡¯s qi the moment he arrived. He immediately went up to greet him with a smile. ¡°Grandmaster, I was about to report to you. We saw that all the disciples of the True Martial Sect needed pills to advance in cultivation. Therefore, we took the initiative to refine a batch for you first!¡± Jiang Chen could tell from Tong Mu¡¯s words that he was trying to flatter him. He glanced at Tong Mu, who was bootlicking him, and nodded slightly. He didn¡¯t expect Tong Mu to be so perceptive. ¡°Okay. In that case, you can refine more! I¡¯ll need them all,¡± Jiang Chen said. Then, Jiang Cheng stopped talking to Tong Mu. He went directly to the place where the herbs were piled up and picked up some pills that could speed up his cultivation. As for why Jiang Chen didn¡¯t refine the Blood Spirit Pill, it was mainly because there was only one blood spirit herb in the PIll Pavilion. He had already used it up. Now, he could only refine some other pills. The group of alchemists looked at Jiang expectantly when he picked up some pills. ¡°Come here. The master is going to refine pills again. Our chance to learn has come once more!¡± ¡°Go and get the notebook. The more we read, the more we will learn. The most important thing is to remember. It will be very beneficial to us. After all, the master¡¯s attainments in the dao of alchemy are definitely top-notch!¡± In just a short while, the group of alchemists dropped their work and swarmed around Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen wouldn¡¯t chase them away either. After all, he knew why these alchemists had come to the True Martial Sect. Besides, Jiang Chen needed them to refine pills for the disciples of the True Martial Sect to help them advance in cultivation. ¡°Well, look closely. I¡¯m only going to do this once.¡± Jiang Chen said. ¡°The four-way alchemy technique corresponds to the four locations of the east, south, west, and north.¡± ¡°The east is warm, the south is strong, the west is cold, and the north is fire.¡± ¡°Once the four fires are figured out, the herbs can be easily neutralized, and the pill can be made!¡± ¡­ Jiang Chen explained to them while refining pills. As long as they could understand what Jiang Chen was talking about, it would be of great benefit to these alchemists. And if they could benefit from his alchemy techniques, they would be even more loyal to Jiang Chen and even stay in the True Martial Sect. If the True Martial Sect needed to rise again, it wouldn¡¯t be possible without these alchemists. Buzz! In a short while, four tongues of flame rose quickly around the pill furnace! The flames were like stars, sometimes dark, sometimes bright, and sometimes jumping. At this moment, under Jiang Chen¡¯s control, the medicinal ingredients in the pill furnace were continuously neutralized. They soon melted like water. In an instant, the four tongues of flame of different shapes fused into one, and the pill furnace was instantly submerged within it. ¡°When the four flames merge, it¡¯s the best time to form the pill!¡± Jiang Chen waved his hand calmly, and the flames instantly disappeared. Boom! The lid of the furnace flew off, and lotus flowers rose up from the furnace. ¡°It¡¯s happening again!¡± ¡°He¡­ is indeed a grandmaster. It is so easy for him to make top-grade pills.¡± ¡°What realm is Grandmaster exactly at? Why do I feel like the phenomenon of refining pills is like a piece of cake for Grandmaster?¡± When the alchemists saw the lotus flowers again, they couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in surprise. In many alchemists¡¯ eyes, Jiang Chen was indeed someone who excelled at refining pills, high-grade pills at that. Even if he occasionally refined high-grade pills, he was still a very powerful existence in their eyes! However, they didn¡¯t expect that Jiang Chen could refine a high-grade pill with every batch! While these alchemists were still in a daze, Jiang Chen spoke up slowly. ¡°I really don¡¯t know how you became alchemists. You don¡¯t even have this bit of common sense!¡± ¡°This phenomenon is called Lotus Blooming. What I refined is a black-grade pill, not a high-grade pill!¡± ¡°If I really refine a trash pill like a high-grade pill one day, I won¡¯t be qualified to teach you!¡± Jiang Chen changed the subject and continued, ¡°Besides, if I really refine a high-grade pill with this four-way alchemy technique, then it will be useless!¡± Jiang Chen rolled his eyes and was speechless. Tong Mu and the others were shocked when they heard Jiang Chen¡¯s words. They showed their excitement without holding back. ¡°This¡­ is stupid!¡± ¡°The master was teaching us alchemy, but none of us were able to react in time!¡± ¡°Four-way alchemy technique? What kind of alchemy technique is that? Why haven¡¯t we heard of it before?¡± The alchemists were all puzzled. Among these alchemists, some of them were somewhat knowledgeable. At this moment, Tong Mu looked at Jiang Chen and asked tentatively, ¡°I¡¯ve read in an ancient book that the four-way alchemy technique was created 5,000 years ago by an overlord before he ascended. This overlord was also called the holy king of stars!¡± Jiang Chen couldn¡¯t help but recall what had happened thousands of years ago when he heard Tong Mu¡¯s words. Several thousand years ago, Jiang Chen had appeared out of nowhere on the Red Sun Continent and left behind countless legends. Martial Arts techniques, pill refinement, artifact refinement, array formations, and talismans. It wasn¡¯t an exaggeration to say that Jiang Chen excelled at everything! However, among these legends, the most unforgettable one was Jiang Chen¡¯s invincible pill technique. If the whole continent said he was the second best, no one would dare to say they were first! In his era, Jiang Chen had created countless pill recipes. Among them, his four-way pill refinement technique was the most famous. But the four-way pill refinement technique hadn¡¯t been spread out yet. ¡°Master, are you sure this is the genuine four-way pill refinement technique? After all, this is the dream refining technique of all alchemists on the continent!¡± At this moment, Tong Mu¡¯s eyes were gleaming. He was so excited that he couldn¡¯t close his mouth. ¡°I obtained this technique by luck!¡± Jiang Chen said calmly. ¡°That¡¯s enough. I¡¯ve taught you the four-way pill refinement technique. You¡¯ll have to learn it on your own now!¡± ¡°Besides, the four-way pill refinement technique is enough for you to digest it for your whole life and become the most successful alchemist!¡± After getting Jiang Chen¡¯s answer, Tong Mu swallowed hard and said, ¡°I remember the legend of the holy king of stars. It¡¯s said that more than half of his 900 kinds of alchemy techniques were lost through the ages!¡± ¡°The four-way alchemy technique has never been passed down. The only people who have learned the four-way alchemy techniques are the alchemists of the True Martial Sect from 5,000 years ago¡­¡± At this point, Tong Mu looked like he wanted to say something but stopped. Tong Mu felt like he knew Jiang Chen¡¯s identity.. He was definitely the descendant of the alchemists of the True Martial Sect from 5,000 years ago! Chapter 18 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°This Tong Mu is quite knowledgeable!¡± Jiang Chen glanced at Tong Mu in surprise. He didn¡¯t expect him to be so well-informed about the things that had happened thousands of years ago. ¡°Alright. You guys try to comprehend the four-way alchemy method. I¡¯m leaving now!¡± As Jiang Chen was about to walk out of the pavilion, Tong Mu suddenly spoke up. ¡°Master, may I ask you something?¡± Tong Mu cupped his hands and asked hesitantly. Jiang Chen stopped in his tracks and nodded slightly, as if he had given his permission. ¡°Master, if I stay in the True Martial Sect, will you always give me guidance on my Dao of alchemy?¡± Tong Mu didn¡¯t just ask his own question, but rather, he asked what was in the minds of the alchemists present. After Tong Mu said that, the alchemists looked expectant, eagerly waiting for Jiang Chen¡¯s answer. ¡°Of course!¡± Jiang Chen smiled and said, ¡°Although there aren¡¯t many disciples in the True Martial Sect, I alone can refine many cultivation pills.¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t have so much time on my hands. For the True Martial Sect to become more powerful, we need more alchemists. Since I¡¯ve taught you, I don¡¯t have to worry about it anymore!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Tong Mu and the other alchemists were excited. They bowed and thanked him hurriedly. ¡°We¡¯ll thank you first, Master!¡± ¡°We¡¯ll do our best and according to your instructions, Master!¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough. You can go back to your work. I have to go back to cultivate!¡± Then, Jiang Chen waved his hand and left! Looking at Jiang Chen¡¯s retreating figure, Tong Mu was inexplicably happy, as well as a little sad. He was sad because Jiang Chen didn¡¯t intend to take him as a disciple. He was happy that Jiang Chen would still teach them the great Dao of alchemy! ¡­ The True Martial Sect, the main hall of the sect leader! Jiang Chen sat on the throne of the sect leader. The spirit gathering array formation was activated. He swallowed the Heavenly Spirit Pill he had just refined and started cultivating! Time passed bit by bit. One day later. Buzz! A buzzing sound came out of Jiang Chen¡¯s body. He opened his eyes gradually. ¡°The Heavenly Spirit Pill can¡¯t be compared to the Blood Spirit Pill. How come only one spiritual meridian has been opened?¡± The more resources he needed to cultivate, the more Jiang Chen frowned about the current True Martial Sect! Poor! The sect was too poor! If he was in the former True Martial Sect before he had ascended, Jiang Chen wouldn¡¯t even have looked at the Blood Spirit Pill, which was just a trash pill, let alone consume it to cultivate. Opening forty-two spiritual veins was just like child¡¯s play. But the truth was¡­ The current True Martial Sect couldn¡¯t even afford the Blood Spirit Pill! ¡°Thirty-five spiritual veins. It¡¯s still some distance away from the forty-two spiritual veins of the constellation of nine turns technique!¡± ¡°I won¡¯t cultivate for the next few days. I have to make some preparations in case the Yan sect came looking for revenge on the True Martial Sect!¡± Jiang Chen informed Ye Qizheng and the others. They arrived in the sect leader¡¯s great hall within a few breaths¡¯ time. Jiang Chen¡¯s frown became more and more serious after he asked Ye Qizheng a simple question! ¡°Sect leader, the sect¡¯s protection array really can¡¯t be activated! Even the array¡¯s eye is broken¡­¡± ¡°The eye of the sect¡¯s protection array was broken when the phenomenon of heaven and earth appeared on your body. The statue of the venerable ancestor in the martial arts arena is the eye of the formation¡­¡± ¡°Is it impossible to repair it?¡±Jiang Chen asked tentatively. ¡°No. It¡¯s completely damaged. There¡¯s no way to repair it!¡± Ye Qizheng said helplessly, ¡°If it could be repaired, I would have already asked an array master to repair it with the sect¡¯s resources.¡± ¡°I see!¡± Jiang Chen nodded slightly and said, ¡°Guard the sect. I have to go to Sunnywood Town!¡± Ye Qizheng and the others didn¡¯t ask any more questions. They nodded and agreed. Soon, Jiang Chen left the grand hall slowly after giving instructions. He called Tong Mu over and the two hurried to Sunnywood Town. This time, Jiang Chen¡¯s goal was the Array Pavilion in Sunnywood Town! There were many first-class and top forces in the Sunnywood Continent. Among them, the Martial Arts Pavilion, the Pill Pavilion, the Array Pavilion, and the Talisman Pavilion were the four most powerful forces! And this Array Pavilion was the gathering place for array masters! All array masters in the Sunnywood Continent cultivated in the Array Pavilion. After they achieved a certain breakthrough in array formations, the Array Pavilion would issue a level token to prove the array master¡¯s level! This time, Jiang Chen was going to the Array Pavilion to buy the materials needed to set up the array formation. As for why Jiang Chen brought Tong Mu¡­ It was because Tong Mu was rich, and Jiang Chen was poor! ¡°Master, why are we going to the Array Pavilion?¡± Tong Mu asked as he tagged along with Jiang Chen. Many people in Sunnywood Town would bow respectfully wherever they passed by. ¡°Why are we going to the Array Pavilion? We¡¯re going to the Array Pavilion to buy some materials to set up the array formation!¡±Jiang Chen said. Soon, the two people arrived at the Array Pavilion. As soon as they entered, a strange voice was heard. ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this the third-grade alchemist Tong Mu?¡± ¡°I wonder what brings you to the Array Pavilion?¡± A man came from the back door of the Array Pavilion and asked rather condescendingly. This was an old man with a head full of grey hair. He walked towards Tong Mu with one arm behind his back and a walking stick in his other hand. ¡°Old guy, the grandmaster and I are here to buy some materials. Do you have a problem with that?¡± Tong Mu raised his eyebrows and looked at the old man unhappily. ¡°Haha. Not at all.¡± The old man suddenly changed the topic. He glanced at Jiang Chen darkly and said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s just you see, the materials of the Array Pavilion are much more expensive than the offerings of the Pill Pavilion. Can this grandmaster of yours afford it?¡± Tong Mu looked at the old man¡¯s strange gaze. He glanced at Jiang Chen subconsciously. Tong Mu¡¯s mouth twitched. Because¡­ Jiang Chen¡¯s outfit was too shabby. He looked like an ordinary person who couldn¡¯t cultivate. ¡°Old guy, you don¡¯t have to bother about that. I¡¯ll cover all of Grandmaster¡¯s expenses here.¡± While speaking, Tong Mu moved closer to Jiang Chen. He whispered into his ear, ¡°Master, how about¡­ we get you a proper set of clothes later?¡± ¡°Uhh, I¡¯ll list down the materials I need. I¡¯ll leave you to deal with the rest.¡± Jiang Chen scratched his head in embarrassment. He initially wanted to change his clothes a few days ago but forgot. Jiang Chen didn¡¯t waste any more time. He cleared his throat and said, ¡°Bring me some paper, pen, and ink. I¡¯ll write down the materials I need!¡± The old man from the Array Pavilion didn¡¯t say anything more. He asked someone to bring the paper and pen over. Jiang Chen wrote down the materials he needed quickly. While Jiang Chen was writing down the materials, Tong Mu and the old man from the Array Pavilion weren¡¯t convinced by each other. They kept glaring daggers at each other. It seemed that the Pill Pavilion and Array Pavilion had always been at odds with each other.. Chapter 19 Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Finally, after staring at each other for a long time, Tong Mu and the old man from the Array Pavilion couldn¡¯t help but speak up. ¡°Old guy, what are you looking at? You dumb array nerds. Would your cultivation base increase without our pills?¡± Tong Mu blew his nose and stared at the old man as he spoke angrily. ¡°Haha. The Pill Pavilion is so shameless. How dare you think so highly of yourself?¡± ¡°Tell me. Without the Array Pavilion¡¯s protection arrays, what¡¯s going to protect your run-down Pill Pavilion?¡± Jiang Chen, who was writing down the materials, naturally heard their argument. However, he didn¡¯t intend to pay any attention to them. After all, Jiang Chen had seen the conflict between the Pill Pavilion and the Array Pavilion several thousand times before. Moreover, it was now the norm for the Pill Pavilion and the Array Pavilion to be at odds with each other. Array masters spent their entire lives comprehending the Dao of array formations. They barely invested their time in cultivation. Therefore, in the eyes of the alchemists, they were the backbone of all the array masters¡¯ cultivation. In the eyes of array masters, whether it was the Pill Pavilion, the Martial Arts Pavilion, the Talisman Pavilion, all kinds of protection arrays, including trivial Spirit Gathering Array, they were all incomplete without array masters. Just like that, both parties thought that they were better than the other and refused to give in. As time passed, the appearance of Tong Mu and the elder of the Array Pavilion did not seem too strange. ¡°Lou Shan, if you provoke me again, I will double the charges of all purchases made by the array masters in the entire Sunnywood Town!¡± Tong Mu opened his eyes wide and said domineeringly As for why Tong Mu was so confident, it was not only because he was the only third-grade alchemist in Sunnywood Town, but he was also the Pavilion Master of the Pill Pavilion here! As the Pill Pavilion Master, he could really make these array masters unable to afford to buy pills. When Lou Shan heard that, his face immediately turned livid with anger. It was at this moment that Jiang Chen finished writing down the materials. ¡°I¡¯m done. These will be all!¡± Jiang Chen handed the list to the elder of the Array Pavilion. When the elder saw the dense list, he couldn¡¯t help but exclaim on the spot. ¡°That much!? Are you trying to set up an array or what?¡± As he spoke, Lou Shan took a quick glance at the materials on the list. Sky Mystic essence soul, earth treasury veins, a thousand-year-old refined iron, space wood! The more he looked at the list, the more shocked Lou Shan¡¯s gaze became. These were not ordinary materials. They were all extremely rare. Moreover, these materials could only be used to refine an extremely high-grade array formation. ¡°Lou Shan, bring us the goods. We don¡¯t have to deal with your bullsh*t!¡± When Tong Mu saw the elder of Array Pavilion asking all sorts of questions, he immediately began to urge him. This time, Lou Shan unexpectedly did not fight with Tong Mu. Instead, he revealed a teasing smile and immediately went to bring the materials. An hour later, a waiter brought the materials upstairs. ¡°Old Tong, since you are the one paying, then quickly pay!¡± As he spoke, Lou Shan handed the price list to Tong Mu. The next second! Tong Mu saw the price list and immediately shouted. ¡°What!? 30,000 high-grade Spirit Stones? Lou Shan, are you bullying me? These materials cost three thousand high-grade Spirit Stones at max. There¡¯s no way it is worth 30,000!¡± ¡°Do you think that I, Tong Mu, am easy to trifle with?¡± Tong Mu glared daggers at Lou Shan and roared fiercely. ¡°Why? Can¡¯t I?¡± ¡°Your Pill Pavilion has already sold your pills for twice the amount of their actual value. Why can¡¯t I sell you the materials at ten times the value?¡± Lou Shan looked at Tong Mu rather mockingly, and the smile on his face widened. ¡°Lou Shan¡­¡± Tong Mu was at a loss for words. It seemed that he was the one who had started it. This was always going to end in a disaster! Tong Mu turned to look at Jiang Chen, but he found him shaking his head and smiling. It seemed Jiang Chen had expected this outcome. ¡°Grandmaster, I-I don¡¯t have that many Spirit Stones at the moment.¡± Tong Mu held his head in embarrassment. After all, 30,000 high-grade Spirit Stones was way too much. Even if he sold a section of the pills in the Pill Pavilion, he could not get 30,000 high-grade Spirit Stones¡­ The most important thing was that he, Tong Mu, couldn¡¯t gather that many Spirit Stones! ¡°Humph! What are you pretending for? How dare you come to my Array Pavilion to buy materials when you¡¯re broke?¡± ¡°Also Old Tong, according to the rules, all returns are subject to a 10% returns fee!¡± ¡°Haha! Pay 3,000 high-grade Spirit Stones. If you can¡¯t¡­ then you won¡¯t be able to step out of the Array Pavilion!¡± Tong Mu¡¯s face turned pale. Although he had said he would double the charges for the people of the Array Pavilion, he didn¡¯t expect this old man Lou Shan to be even more scheming than him. He had to pay 10 times more! Jiang Chen had seen enough of this. He stood up and said, ¡°We¡¯re out of Spirit Stones. How about a barter trade?¡± Lou Shan was immediately interested. ¡°Oh. And what would a pauper like you have to offer me?¡± Lou Shan didn¡¯t refuse Jiang Chen. After all, he had only been hostile to Tong Mu, the third-grade alchemist, from the beginning. Jiang Chen pondered for a while. He quickly recalled the low-level array formation he had created. After a long time¡­ Jiang Chen finally remembered an array formation he had created at the last minute when he had just stepped into the Dao of array formations. ¡°Alright. It¡¯s up to you!¡± Jiang Chen said in a low voice. Then, he stretched out a finger and started to draw rapidly in the air with his True Qi. ¡°Look closely. I¡¯m only going to do this once!¡± Lou Shan, who was standing not far away, was surprised by Jiang Chen¡¯s drawing. ¡°This¡­ Array Formation!¡± Jiang Chen had only drawn a few strokes, but Lou Shan was extremely shocked. As an array master, he could clearly sense that this array formation diagram was extraordinary! After a few breaths¡¯ time, Jiang Chen withdrew his finger. The array diagram, which had been drawn with his True Qi, immediately disappeared. ¡°How about it?¡± Jiang Chen asked calmly. Lou Shan swallowed hard and said, ¡°Could you do it once more? I didn¡¯t memorize it properly¡­¡± Jiang Chen shook his head and said, ¡°I told you I was only going to do it once, didn¡¯t I? You only have yourself to blame for not memorizing it properly.¡± He paused for a moment and then continued mockingly, ¡°I suppose I could do you a favor. But don¡¯t you think you should show me some sincerity too?¡± Lou Shan didn¡¯t agree right away. Instead, he said calmly, ¡°If it were just any random array, our Array Pavilion has plenty of those. If I agree to it and it turns out to be just a random array, then I¡¯ll be at a great disadvantage.¡± ¡°Have you ever heard of the Nine Mystics Array?¡± Chapter 20 - A Legend Left Behind By Jiang Chen! Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Array masters need to use array diagrams when they are setting up array formations or practicing with formation diagrams.¡± ¡°This is the great Nine Mystics Array¡­ Do you need it?¡± As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, a trace of shock suddenly appeared on Luo Shan¡¯s face! ¡°The¡­ The great Nine Mystics Array!?¡± Lou Shan exclaimed in surprise because he had heard of this great Nine Mystics Array before. However, it had been lost through the ages! There was a legend that once the Nine Mystics Array was activated, it could protect an area of land. The key was that this great array could last for thousands of years without being broken. Among the defensive array formations, it was definitely one of the strongest. On the Red Sun Continent, the number of array masters was very few compared to the number of alchemists, but their array formations were indeed as many as the stars! Although there were many array formations, the ones that were remembered by the world were very few. That was because people only remembered the strongest and powerful ones. For example, the Universal Array Formation, the Heaven-Shrouding Array Formation, the Octagonal Array Formation, and so on. They were all extremely powerful, each of them outstanding! The Nine Mystics Array was as famous as these great array formations. In terms of defense, it was the strongest in the world! However, the Nine Mystics Array had been lost since Jiang Chen ascended 5,000 years ago. No one had been able to set it up. As an array master, Lou Shan was excited to hear the name of this array formation! However, after his excitement, Lou Shan started to worry whether Jiang Chen would exchange it with him. After all, if such a powerful array formation was real, its value was immeasurable! ¡°Young brother, you know its history. It should have disappeared. How can I believe you have it?¡± Lou Shan calmed down and said slowly. ¡°It¡¯s up to you to believe it or not. But if you miss this opportunity, I won¡¯t be the one who regrets it!¡± ¡°It¡¯s true. I might regret it, but I can¡¯t bear the risk until I know for sure!¡± Looking at Lou Shan who was sighing, Jiang Chen couldn¡¯t help but look at him in a different light. He was being too cautious! However, everything was under Jiang Chen¡¯s control. The outcome had already been decided when he told him the name of the array! Jiang Chen knew very well that alchemists loved pills as much as their lives, whereas array masters loved array formations! ¡°In the first place, I came here to buy the materials required for setting up an incomplete Nine Mystics Array. If you want to be sure, then why don¡¯t you follow me back and take a good look for yourself?¡± Jiang Chen looked confident, as if he had the victory in his hands. Tong Mu, who was standing beside him, couldn¡¯t help but have a strange feeling when he heard this. He had a feeling that Jiang Chen¡¯s purpose wasn¡¯t that simple. He had the feeling that Jiang Chen was trying to trick the array master of this Array Pavilion into going to the True Martial Sect! ¡°Isn¡¯t this the Nine Mystics Array? Then why did it become an incomplete Nine Mystics Array?¡± Lou Shan heard the doubt in Jiang Chen¡¯s words and looked at him in a daze. ¡°Do you think you can set up the Nine Mystics Array with just these few materials?¡± Jiang Chen couldn¡¯t help but sneer. He said, ¡°Even if you sold everything in this Array Pavilion, you still won¡¯t be able to create a complete Nine Mystics Array!¡± ¡°These materials can only be used to set up an incomplete Nine Mystics Array!¡± ¡°Fine! I¡¯ll go with you. I want to see if it¡¯s true or not!¡± Lou Shan turned around and said to the dozens of array masters behind him. ¡°Follow me. I¡¯ll show you how to spot a real one so that you guys don¡¯t make a fool of yourself in the future!¡± ¡°Eh¡­ just as I thought. If Lou Shan goes with these array masters, I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t return.¡± Tong Mu thought to himself. At the same time, he admired Jiang Chen¡¯s special method of luring people! Jiang Chen didn¡¯t refuse the dozen or so array masters¡¯ request to go with him. Instead, he was overjoyed. If these array masters really went with Jiang Chen, he would be able to set up incomplete Nine Mystic Arrays in a shorter time! If it was Jiang Chen alone, it would be difficult for him to set them up with his current cultivation level. However, it would be different with this group of array masters. He might not even need to set them up himself. Then, Lou Shan asked the group of array masters to make preparations. Soon, he followed Jiang Chen to the True Martial Sect. In less than half a day, everyone arrived at the True Martial Sect. ¡°Is this the True Martial Sect?¡± ¡°Are you a disciple of the True Martial Sect?¡± Lou Shan stared at the dilapidated True Martial Sect in astonishment. Lou Shan had initially thought that Jiang Chen was a member of a peerless sect when he saw the historical array formation. He didn¡¯t expect Jiang Chen to be from a low-grade sect like the True Martial Sect. ¡°No. I¡¯m not a disciple of the True Martial Sect. I¡¯m the sect master of the True Martial Sect!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go! Let¡¯s set up the formation first so that you can learn more!¡± Jiang Chen said calmly. ¡°Eh¡­ The sect master of the True Martial Sect?¡± Lou Shan¡¯s mouth twitched. He thought to himself, ¡°This sect master of a trash sect is messing with me, isn¡¯t he? Although the True Martial Sect was once the ruler of the continent for thousands of years, times have changed.¡± The True Martial Sect was the number one sect on the Red Sun Continent. It occupied an area of 8,000 miles. The True Martial Sect owned eight mountain peaks. The main peak covered an area of 1,000 miles, while the rest of the mountain peaks covered 7,000 miles. However, since the people of the True Martial Sect only lived on the main mountain peak, the rest of the peaks had been abandoned for years. At this moment, Jiang Chen led the group of alchemists to a mountain peak. ¡°Are you going to start setting up the array formation now?¡± Lou Shan urged. Jiang Chen wasn¡¯t in a hurry to answer him. Instead, he said calmly, ¡°Not so fast. The incomplete Nine Mystics Array requires 36 main formation bases, 1,008 formation patterns, 36,000 formation stones, and 6 formation eyes to be set up!¡± ¡°First¡­ Help me clean up the area.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen looked back at the array masters with a smile. Lou Shan and the others almost vomited blood when they heard Jiang Chen¡¯s words. ¡°You got us all to come here as cleaners!? Kid, don¡¯t trifle with us!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know who you¡¯re messing with? We are the array masters of the Array Pavilion. We won¡¯t spare your life!¡± The array masters berated Jiang Chen one after another. They were furious at him. ¡°The incomplete Nine Mystics Array isn¡¯t like the low-grade arrays you guys set up. How am I supposed to get a good read of this area if it¡¯s so damn filthy?¡± ¡°Well, I could do it myself. But it¡¯ll take me at least half a month to clean up, after all, the True Martial Sect is so big. Can you guys afford to wait?!¡± Jiang Chen said mockingly. ¡°Huh! We can¡¯t wait that long. We¡¯ll clean it up for you. But if you lie to us about that incomplete Nine Mystics Array¡­. I swear I¡¯ll uproot the entire True Martial Sect and grind it into dust!¡± Chapter 21 - Prepare for the Impending Crisis! Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Although this group of array masters looked very reluctant. But when they thought of Nine Mystics Array, they mobilized and quickly began to clean up the True Martial Sect. ¡°Set up the array now!¡± Lou Shan lightly shouted, and the dozen array masters behind him all moved out and set up several spirit-cleansing arrays. As the name implied, the spirit-cleansing array formation was used to clean up areas. It could only be used for cleaning. With the help of the array masters and the spirit-cleansing formation, the eight mountain peaks of the True Martial Sect had been cleaned up within half a day. ¡°We¡¯ve finished cleaning up. We can do it now, right?¡± Lou Shan frowned. He hadn¡¯t expected that he, the leader of the Array Pavilion, would have to work as a cleaner for others. How humiliating! ¡°You¡¯re pretty quick. Take it.¡± Jiang Chen then handed Lou Shan the blueprint of the incomplete Nine Mystics. Lou Shan took the formation diagram in a daze. Then, he spoke up in dissatisfaction, ¡°What do you mean by giving me this array blueprint? Aren¡¯t you going to set it up yourself? Why do you want us to set it up for you?¡± ¡°You have the goods too. Although the incomplete Nine Mystics Array is only a weakened version of the complete Nine Mystics Array, if you set it up yourself, the mysteries in it will be enough for you to study it for years!¡± ¡°If you think I¡¯m using you, you can return me the array blueprint. I¡¯ll just set it up myself!¡± However, Lou Shan quickly withdrew his hand. He then pushed the array blueprint into his pocket without hesitation. ¡°You made a wise choice,¡± Jiang Chen said with a faint smile. ¡°Oh, I have to check its grade first. What if it turns out to be a bloody scam?¡± As he spoke, Lou Shan quickly took out the array blueprint that he had just kept in. The moment he opened it, his pupils dilated when he saw the densely packed array patterns. The best way to determine the strength and rank of an array formation was to look at the array patterns. The more detailed the array patterns, the stronger the array formation would be. Opening the blueprint of the incomplete Nine Mystics Array, Lou Shan only took a cursory glance at its array patterns, and there were already more than a thousand of them. Array formations were classified into four levels: heaven, earth, black, and yellow. The highest heaven-grade formation would only have 900 array patterns¡­ ¡°More than 1,000 formation patterns? Is it possible that this array exceeds even the heaven-grade?¡± Lou Shan exclaimed with confusion in his eyes. Jiang Chen shook his head faintly and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know its level either.¡± Lou Shan looked at Jiang Chen confusedly and asked, ¡°You don¡¯t know? This is your array formation. Then how can you not know it?¡± Although Lou Shan didn¡¯t believe him, Jiang Chen was telling the truth. The incomplete Nine Mystics Array was a simplified version of the real one, which Jiang Chen had extracted when he was in the Pill Pavilion. Jiang Cheng didn¡¯t know much about its power, so he didn¡¯t know what level it was. However, one thing that Jiang Chen was sure of was that the incomplete Nine Mystics Array was more than enough to protect the True Martial Sect. ¡°Okay. I¡¯ll trust you for now.¡± Lou Shan said in a low voice, then he went back to start setting up the formation with the array masters. Time passed bit by bit! In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. During this time, Jiang Chen had been cultivating in the main hall of the sect leader. Occasionally, Tong Mu would send Jiang Chen some pills to enhance his cultivation. After three days of cultivation, Jiang Chen had successfully opened forty spiritual meridians. He would be able to break through after he opened just two more. ¡®There are only seven days left. By then, I will have a great battle with the Yan Sect.¡¯ Thinking of this, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered the old man and the young girl that he had encountered in the Pill Pavilion. ¡®That girl won¡¯t survive more than a few days if her lunar toxins aren¡¯t neutralized. I wonder when she will come to the True Martial Sect.¡¯ Jiang Chen was quite concerned about that beautiful young girl. However, Jiang Chen didn¡¯t care about the girl¡¯s appearance, but her Divine Moon Physique. The Divine Moon Physique was a constitution that surfaced after being cured of the moon disease! Even if it was on the Nine Heavens after Jiang Chen became a god, she still had a rare sacred body. Due to the rarity of the Divine Moon Physique, within the ranks of gods, the position of the Moon God had always been vacant¡­ Jiang Chen didn¡¯t expect that he would encounter such a being on the Red Sun Continent. His plan was very simple, which was to accept this young girl as his disciple. After all, the True Martial Sect was still in a state of decline, and there was still a long way to go for it to rise once more. Other than Jiang Yan, who came from the same clan as Jiang Chen, the other disciples were all too weak. They would at most become the True Martial Sect¡¯s foundation in the future. They would be able to replenish their fresh blood, and it would be the kind of blood with good aptitude. At the very least, they would be able to become gods and become the main gods! In the end, Jiang Chen and the others would be nurtured by Jiang Chen, and they would become a great help to him! Right at this moment! Buzz! A vibration resonated above the True Martial Sect, and it caused the main mountain peak of the sect to shake. The tremor disappeared in the next moment, and a layer of golden light suddenly appeared above the True Martial Sect. The light covered the entire sect, and the shadow of the sun, moon, and stars suddenly appeared in the sky above the True Martial Sect. ¡°The sun, moon, stars, and nine-colored phenomenon. This is¡­ Holy sh*t, a heaven-grade array formation!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Haha, this is a genuine heaven-grade array formation!¡± At this moment, on the highest peak of the True Martial Sect, a group of array masters raised their heads and looked at the phenomenon in the sky with excitement. ¡°Haha. I didn¡¯t expect this incomplete array formation to be a heaven-grade formation!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never witnessed such an array formation apart from the earth-grade protection array of Northern Mountain City. But then not even the protection array of Northern Mountain City could produce such shocking effects!¡± ¡°This is definitely a heaven-grade formation, or maybe it is even¡­ stronger than a heaven-grade formation!¡± ¡­ Jiang Chen stood in the sect master¡¯s great hall with his hands behind his back. When he sensed that the incomplete Nine Mystics Array had been successfully set up, Jiang Chen finally heaved a sigh of relief. According to Jiang Chen¡¯s estimation, breaking past the defenses of this array would at least require 3 Dao Realm experts to work together¡­ The Yan Sect only had two Dao Realm experts at most, and it would be impossible for them to break this array. In this way, the True Martial Sect no longer needed to fear the Yan Sect. However, that was all. To be fair, Jiang Chen wasn¡¯t happy about it. It was the Yan Sect who came to seek trouble with him. If he didn¡¯t fight back, Jiang Chen would feel extremely aggrieved. After all, he wouldn¡¯t take it lying down. ¡®There are still a few days left. I still have to make some preparations!¡¯ Jiang Chen took a deep look at the starry sky, as if he was recalling something.. Chapter 22 - Practice the Earth-grade Array Formation? Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The first four realms of martial arts were Spirit, Physical, Conception, and Origin. Those above the Origin Realm were in the Dao Realm. Jiang Chen¡¯s current cultivation was at the late stage of the Spirit Realm, but the late stage of his Spirit Realm was different from the average late stage of the Spirit Realm. The average late stage of the Spirit Realm couldn¡¯t compare to the early stage of the Physical Realm because of the strength of nine spiritual meridians. However, Jiang Chen had already opened forty spiritual meridians. Even if he was up against a powerhouse at the late stage of the Physical Realm, he would still win. Even a powerhouse at the early stage of the Conception Realm might not be able to defeat Jiang Chen by relying on True Qi alone. However, each realm had its own uniqueness. No matter how rich Jiang Chen¡¯s True Qi was, he couldn¡¯t compete with a powerhouse at the Origin Realm. The only thing he could do now was to break through quickly. However, Jiang Chen was progressing slowly¡­ He couldn¡¯t break through to the Origin Realm in seven days, let alone fight with an elder of Yan Sect who was at the Dao Realm. ¡°Since I can¡¯t break through in seven days, I should make some other plans!¡± Standing beside the Sect Leader¡¯s throne, Jiang Chen squinted and murmured. Then, Jiang Chen took a deep breath. After calming himself down, he activated the spirit gathering array again and started to cultivate. Time passed slowly! In the blink of an eye, a day had passed. During this day, Jiang Chen managed to open the remaining two spiritual meridians, opening a total of forty-two spiritual meridians. ¡°The last step is to form the constellation. The constellation won¡¯t die out, and the True Qi will be endless!¡± Jiang Chen frowned slightly. He was worried about this last step. After all, looking back on the past and the present, there was no lack of peerless geniuses. Of course, other people had also practiced the constellation of nine turns technique. However, all of them had stopped after opening forty-two spiritual meridians! ¡®Although I¡¯ve already succeeded once, I still have to be very careful. Otherwise, if I fail, I won¡¯t be able to recuperate in a year or so.¡¯ While Jiang Chen was preparing for the last step, Lou Shan¡¯s figure appeared in Jiang Chen¡¯s vision. ¡°The array formation has already been set up. Why don¡¯t you go back to the Array Pavilion? What else do you want from me?¡± Looking at Lou Shan in his eyes, Jiang Chen smiled awkwardly. ¡°Well¡­ I do have something to ask of you.¡± ¡°The True Martial Sect is extremely short-handed. I can see that you¡¯re severely lacking in the arrays department. Besides, it¡¯s very suitable to study the Dao of array formations here¡­¡± The more he said, the redder Lou Shan¡¯s face became. But he still mentioned his purpose in the end. ¡°I intend to lead an array master of the Array Pavilion to stay in the True Martial Sect.¡± ¡°Since I was young, I¡¯ve always dreamt of one thing. My dream was to restore the True Martial Sect to its former glory!¡± Lou Shan offered himself. But Jiang Chen almost couldn¡¯t hold back his laughter when he heard that. The True Martial Sect¡¯s glory could only be restored by an array master? It was impossible! ¡°That¡¯s enough. You could¡¯ve just told me that you wanted to stay here. We¡¯re lacking array masters here anyway!¡± Lou Shan became excited when he heard this. He had been worried that Jiang Chen would chase them away, but now, he was finally relieved. ¡°I¡¯ve already given you the blueprint of the incomplete Nine Mystics Array. It should be enough for you to study for a while. If you want to make a contribution to the True Martial Sect, then I¡¯ll teach you some more array formations that are just as good as the incomplete Nine Mystics Array.¡± ¡°Yeah,yeah. That is our dearest wish. We wish to do everything to help restore the True Martial Sect to its former glory!¡± Lou Shan agreed without any hesitation. As for whether Jiang Chen was lying to him or not, it didn¡¯t matter to him. After all, how could a person, who could set up an array formation of the heaven-grade or even beyond the heaven-grade, not have other array formations? Moreover, he didn¡¯t spend the past few days in the True Martial Sect for nothing. The Pavilion Master of the Pill Pavilion, Tong Mu, and more than half of the Pill Pavilion¡¯s alchemists stayed in the True Martial Sect too. Jiang Chen must be extraordinary to be able to make so many alchemists stay here. ¡°Oh right. I¡¯ll let you comprehend this earth-grade array formation then. I think you have many array masters who aren¡¯t skilled enough, so it will be difficult for you to comprehend them.¡± ¡°This earth-grade array formation is perfect for you to train.¡± Jiang Chen handed a blueprint of another array to Lou Shan. Looking at the 300 or so array patterns in the blueprint of this earth-grade array formation, Lou Shan¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°Earth-grade array formation¡­ Only Jiang Chen would dare say that!¡± ¡°Also, Master, what grade is the incomplete Nine Mystics Array? It is obviously much stronger than the heaven-grade.¡± Lou Shan asked with a curious attitude. ¡°Its power is indeed greater than the heaven-grade. It should be of the chen-grade Formation!¡± The first four grades of the formation were divided into heaven, earth, Xuan, yellow, and heaven grade. After the heaven grade was the sun, moon, star, and chen. The True Martial Sect¡¯s incomplete Nine Mystics Array had already reached the chen-grade. It was simply terrifying. One had to know that in a remote and small place like the Northern Mountain City, even the heaven-grade formation did not exist. As for the chen-grade formation, perhaps no one had even heard of it. ¡°Oh right. I will give you guys one day to finish setting up the array. If you can do that, the blueprint is yours.¡± ¡°As for the materials required for setting up the arrays, you need to pay for it yourself. After all, your stay here will not be for free. Besides, my True Martial Sect is already too poor.¡± ¡®Uh¡­ that¡¯s a f*cking rip-off. Why are you such a scrooge!¡¯ Lou Shan thought to himself. He didn¡¯t dare say it out loud. ¡°Yes, master. I¡¯ll take my leave now.¡± ¡­ The reason why Jiang Chen asked Lou Shan to set up the arrays was, of course, to prepare for breaking through the last barrier of the Spirit Realm. The array formation was called the Spirit-Gathering Array. It could gather one¡¯s essence, energy, and spirit. When one made a breakthrough, it could also stabilize their cultivation and spiritual meridians. However, besides this array, Jiang Chen still had to brew a pill. After a short while, Jiang Chen arrived at the alchemy room. As soon as he entered the alchemy room, he saw a familiar figure, Jiang Yan. He was the only person in the True Martial Sect who could be of great use, and he also possessed the Primordial Divine Physique. ¡°Brother Chen!¡± Jiang Yan also saw Jiang Chen and ran over excitedly. However, when Jiang Yan called out Jiang Chen¡¯s name, he felt something was amiss, so he hurriedly changed his words. ¡°Greetings, Sect Master!¡± ¡°You silly lad. No matter what I become, I will always be your Old Brother Chen.¡± Jiang Chen patted Jiang Yan¡¯s shoulder and said with a smile. They were both from the Jiang Clan of Qin Plains. Since Jiang Chen had taken over his body completely, he would now consider himself as a member of Jiang Family and would treat Jiang Chen¡¯s brother as his own. Of course, Jiang Chen had to admit that Jiang Yan was his sworn brother. ¡°Brother Chen¡­ It feels as if you¡¯ve changed a lot. In the past, you and I were the same.¡± ¡°Not only has your temperament changed, but your aptitude in cultivation has also become so great,¡± Jiang Yan said with emotion.. Chapter 23 - The Last Step, Condensing the Stars! Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Jiang Chen nodded with a smile. ¡°People change all the time!¡± ¡°But no matter what, I will always be your Brother Chen.¡± Jiang Yan¡¯s face darkened as he spoke up, ¡°Brother Chen, although I have a good constitution, I¡¯m too exhausted. It¡¯s hard for me to make any further progress. There¡¯s not much difference between me and a crippled body¡­ I really want to reach the Dao Realm, travel the world, and explore the mountains and lands of the Red Sun Continent!¡± One had to reach the Dao Realm in order to ascend to heaven. For ordinary martial arts practitioners, the Dao Realm was their lifelong wish. ¡°The Dao Realm? Is that really all, kid?¡± ¡°In my opinion, you will achieve much more than that!¡± Hearing this, Jiang Chen scolded him playfully. ¡°It is said that the Primordial Divine Physique¡¯s spiritual meridians are like complex puzzles. There have been a few other cases in the past, but none of them knew how to solve this puzzle. As time passed, the Primordial Divine Physique became known as the world¡¯s most useless constitution.¡± ¡°But I, your Brother Chen, happen to know how to unravel this puzzle. You need not worry about it. It doesn¡¯t mean that only a large amount of resources can unlock your potential.¡± Jiang Chen paused for a moment before continuing. ¡°I will refine a pill for you, and you will be able to activate the Primordial Divine Physique by then. However, it would be extremely dangerous to swallow that pill, and there¡¯s a chance that you could die too!¡± When Jiang Yan heard this, a resolute look appeared on his face. ¡°Brother Chen, I won¡¯t let you down!¡± ¡°I¡¯m willing to risk my life for it.¡± Jiang Yan clenched his fists and said resolutely. ¡°Alright. I¡¯ll come to look for you once I¡¯ve finished brewing the pill.¡± Jiang Chen nodded in appreciation. After a short while, Jiang Yan left the alchemy room and Jiang Chen started to brew the pills. As for the herbs in the alchemy room, they were well prepared by Tong Mu and the other alchemists. A large group of alchemists surrounded Jiang Chen. After all, watching Jiang Chen refine pills would be of great help to them. It would be even better if they could get his guidance! ¡°Master, may I ask what pills you are going to refine this time?¡± ¡°Master, can I bother you for a moment? The four-way alchemy technique is really difficult. Besides Elder Tong, only two people have learned it. Do you have any high-grade alchemy technique that is easier to learn¡­¡± Some alchemists looked at Jiang Chen and asked embarrassedly. Hearing their complaints, Jiang Chen answered calmly, ¡°Of course. We¡¯ll talk about it later.¡± Then, Jiang Chen stopped talking. He injected his True Qi into the pill furnace and started to brew pills. After a dozen breaths¡¯ time, a mysterious pill was brewed. This time, although the alchemists were shocked, they were much more composed as compared to the last few times. ¡°Old Tong, come to the main hall later. I¡¯m going to write a collection of pills. You can take it back and study it with them.¡± ¡°Oh, I need you to get some herbs for me. I need to refine a pill for Jiang Yan.¡± ¡°Yes, Master,¡± Tong Mu answered respectfully. ¡­ At the same time, when Jiang Chen returned to the main hall, Lou Shan sent him the array formation he needed. The pills, the array formation, and all the things he needed to prepare were all prepared. ¡°Finally, I can make a breakthrough!¡± Jiang Chen said in a low voice. Then, he sat down cross-legged and started to focus on achieving the breakthrough. As Jiang Chen took the pill, the spiritual energy started to sweep over him crazily. Buzz! With a muffled sound, the True Qi in Jiang Chen¡¯s body started to roar like a tsunami. The forty-two spiritual meridians were running around crazily in his body, devouring and merging with each other. A great tearing sensation kept surging into Jiang Chen¡¯s mind! Especially when the forty-two spiritual meridians collided with each other, Jiang Chen felt like his body was going to explode at any moment. Fortunately, Jiang Chen had already taken the pill. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have been able to endure it. Time passed slowly. After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the turbulence in Jiang Chen¡¯s body started to dissipate. The forty-two spiritual meridians merged with each other, revealing a golden hexagram star. The star was extremely dazzling. It was blinking as True Qi kept gushing out of it. It was inexhaustible! This was the nine-layered star! It had only been a few days since he had been reborn on the Red Sun Continent. Jiang Chen had spent a lot of time on this nine-layered star. If he had practiced normally, he would have already reached the Physical Realm. However, Jiang Chen was destined not to follow the usual path. The inexhaustible True Qi was the best proof. Although Jiang Chen had finished condensing the stars, it wasn¡¯t over yet. Jiang Chen focused his eyes and shouted coldly. ¡°Marrow-cleansing and bone-cutting! Activate!¡± The True Qi suddenly erupted and surged through Jiang Chen¡¯s limbs and bones. For a time, Jiang Chen endured the burning pain with great difficulty. The dirt and impurities in his body were quickly expelled from his body. After a few breaths¡¯ time. Jiang Chen¡¯s body was covered in black dirt and was emitting a foul smell at all times. These were the effects of Jiang Chen¡¯s purification. ¡°Whew! This pain isn¡¯t something an ordinary person can endure.¡± What Jiang Chen wanted to do next was to break through to the Physical Realm! The Physical Realm required marrow and bone cleansing to improve his physical fitness, his spirit, energy, and vigor. Jiang Chen¡¯s spirit, energy, and vigor had now improved a lot. But the most important thing was to condense the blood essence so that he could enter the Physical Realm. ¡°Phew. The Spirit, energy, and vigor have increased a lot, but not a single drop of blood essence has been condensed!¡± A drop of the blood essence could even be used by an early-stage Physical Realm cultivator. The biggest function of the blood essence was to improve a person¡¯s physical strength. However, it was extremely difficult to condense the blood essence. A drop of the blood essence could only be condensed by tens of thousands of drops of ordinary blood in the body. Even Jiang Chen couldn¡¯t bear such consumption. He broke through the Physical Realm at once. ¡°The constellation of nine turns technique is the most powerful technique at the Spirit Realm, but it would not be enough.¡± ¡°If I remember correctly, the most powerful cultivation method at the Physical Realm should be the Lord of Darkness¡¯ endless formula!¡± Jiang Chen couldn¡¯t help but smile when he thought of this. Although the Lord of Darkness was Jiang Chen¡¯s life-and-death friend at the Nine Heavens, he was still the Lord of Darkness. In the past, he had obtained the endless formula from the Lord of Darkness when they were exchanging Dao techniques. In this life, Jiang Chen was very ambitious. In each realm, he had pushed himself to cultivate the most powerful and top-notch techniques! If he wanted to cultivate the most powerful and top-notch techniques, of course he had to pay a price. It wasn¡¯t an exaggeration to say that the difficulty of cultivating it wasn¡¯t any less than the constellation of nine turns technique! As far as Jiang Chen knew, the endless formula was a bit more powerful than the constellation of nine turns technique¡­ Because his cultivation technique was to find lightning strikes! Chapter 24 - The Vice Masters of the Pill Pavilion and Array Pavilion! Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Jiang Chen raised his head and looked at the clear sky. He couldn¡¯t help but exclaim. ¡°It¡¯s daytime. How can there be thunder¡­ I can¡¯t practice without thunder!¡± ¡°This endless formula is a masochistic technique!¡± There were only two ways for Jiang Chen to practice in the absence of thunder! The first way was to set up an array formation so that he could practice the lightning attracting array formation! However, Jiang Chen soon gave up the idea! The reason was simple. Setting up the protection array would take too much time. If he had the time to set up the formation, he might as well just practice it honestly! One of the reasons was that the True Martial Sect was too poor to afford the materials. The last way was to carve talismans. Although it would take a lot of time, it was cheaper! Jiang Chen did it as soon as he thought of it. He first found a pen and paper and wrote down the knowledge of alchemy that Tong Mu and the others required. Then, he handed it to them to study on their own. The array masters of the North Mountain City were also there. After giving them the alchemy formula, Jiang Chen came to the alchemy room. ¡°How is the preparation of materials going?¡±Jiang Chen asked. ¡°Almost all of them are ready, except for one ingredient. I was not able to find that either in the Pill Pavilion or the town¡­¡± Tong Mu looked at Jiang Chen with shame. After all, Jiang Chen had taught him so many things, and he had yet to return the favor¡­ ¡°Master, this ingredient can only be found in the depths of the Dark Forest. But it¡¯s very rare. Whether you can find it or not depends on your luck!¡± There were many beasts in the Dark Forest. There were even monster kings in the doctrine state, but ordinary people rarely entered. Those who entered the Dark Forest mostly wandered in the outer area. Only a few powerful people were brave enough to go into the depths. Jiang Chen couldn¡¯t help but frown and think about it. ¡°Without the fiery herb, I can¡¯t refine Fiery Torrent Pill to help Jiang Yan unrival his Primordial Divine Physique!¡± Jiang Chen sighed. He had a plan. Then, he walked out of the alchemy room. When the group of alchemists saw Jiang Chen walk out with a heavy heart, they all asked him in confusion. ¡°Master, where are you going? Do you need help?¡± Tong Mu ran up to him and asked. Most importantly, Tong Mu wanted to make up for the regret he had felt when he was in the Array Pavilion! Jiang Chen waved his hand at him when he heard this. ¡°No need.¡± Jiang Chen didn¡¯t say anything after he finished speaking. Jiang Chen¡¯s destination this time was the Dark Forest. There were a lot of powerful beasts in the Dark Forest, so it must be very dangerous. Although Tong Mu had a high cultivation base, Jiang Chen had a strange feeling that he would be a burden if he tagged along! However, what Jiang Chen was most worried about was his own secret. The more dangerous the place was, the more likely Jiang Chen was to expose some of his tricks. If Tong Mu was with him, it would be a problem whether Tong Mu could keep his secret or not! If some of the top experts of the Red Sun Continent knew about these tricks, the True Martial Sect, which hadn¡¯t fully developed yet, would be completely destroyed. Even Jiang Chen himself might die. Therefore, Jiang Chen had to be careful! Soon, Jiang Chen arrived at Sunnywood Town on his mount, and one of the places beside Sunnywood Town was the Dark Forest! At this moment, Jiang Chen was stopped by two people! ¡°Sect leader of the True Martial Sect, wait!¡± ¡°Humph! People of the True Martial Sect, stop!¡± Jiang Chen was a bit confused, but he still turned around and looked over. As soon as he turned around, he saw two resentful, dissatisfied faces. ¡°The True Martial Sect, right? They kidnapped the alchemists of the Pill Pavilion, including even the pavilion master! What are your intentions?¡± ¡°Great. Now that you¡¯ve brought yourself to us, we don¡¯t have to go all the way to the True Martial Sect!¡± The middle-aged man looked gloomy. His gloomy face and the resentful look in the woman¡¯s eyes were very discordant. It was obvious that the two were at odds. Jiang Chen was dumbfounded for a moment. No matter how he looked at them, he didn¡¯t recognize them! ¡°Damn it. It¡¯s one thing for you to deceive the Pill Pavilion, but why did you deceive the Array Pavilion too?¡± ¡°Deceive?¡± Jiang Chen finally understood. These two people were definitely from the Pill Pavilion and the Array Pavilion. However, it would be too much to say that Jiang Chen had deceived the alchemists and array masters. They were the ones who wanted to stay in the True Martial Sect. It could be said that they deceived him! ¡°You two, you¡¯ve gone too far. I¡¯ve never lied to any of them!¡± ¡°They¡¯re in the True Martial Sect. You can go to the True Martial Sect and ask them to go back with you. I won¡¯t stop you!¡±Jiang Chen said mockingly. For a moment, the two were at a loss for words. After a while, the woman spoke up angrily, ¡°It¡¯s not about whether they go back or not!¡± ¡°They are both the pavilion masters of the Array Pavilion and the Pill Pavilion, and both pavilions are unguarded at the moment. If the investigation is carried out, your True Martial Sect will surely be unable to bear the consequences!¡± Although what she said made some sense, since they were already at the True Martial Sect, Jiang Chen couldn¡¯t do anything about it! The most important thing was that even though Jiang Chen wanted to chase them away, he wouldn¡¯t be able to chase them away! In the next second, Jiang Chen¡¯s defense was broken by their words. ¡°There¡¯s a way to solve this!¡± ¡°Let Lou Shan and Tong Mu come back to guard. I¡¯ll go to your True Martial Sect!¡± ¡°That¡¯s what I meant!¡± Jiang Chen almost couldn¡¯t help but laugh when he saw how worried they were for the Pill Pavilion and the Array Pavilion. After talking for a long time, Jiang Chen finally understood their purpose! ¡°If you want to go to the True Martial Sect, just say it. Besides, just because we are the True Martial Sect doesn¡¯t mean we can leave the Pill Pavilion and the Array Pavilion.¡± When the two heard this, they were overjoyed. ¡°Great!¡± ¡°Then¡­ Should we go now?¡± Just as Jiang Chen had expected, the man and woman didn¡¯t stop Jiang Chen anymore to make things difficult for him. They just wanted to enter the True Martial Sect. However, the reason for all this was probably that when Jiang Chen had asked Tong Mu and Lou Shan to come to Sunnywood Town to buy herbs and array materials, he had told the Pill Pavilion and the Array Pavilion about Jiang Chen. Whether it was the ancient four-way alchemy technique or the incomplete Nine Mystics Array, which had surpassed the heaven-grade, they were very attractive to these people. Jiang Chen estimated that some alchemists and tactical formation masters had definitely thought of leaving the Pill Pavilion, the Array Pavilion, and joining the True Martial Sect after hearing these two things. The man and woman in front of Jiang Chen were the first ones to have such thoughts. ¡°By the way, if you want to go to the True Martial Sect, you must pay the rent.¡± ¡°The True Martial Sect¡¯s temple is small, so we can¡¯t support so many people.¡± The two were stunned. Was the True Martial Sect so stingy? ¡°Your Excellency, I¡¯m the Vice Pavilion Master of the Pill Pavilion, and she¡¯s the Vice Pavilion Master of the Array Pavilion. Do we have to pay the rent as well?¡± The middle-aged man spoke in a displeased tone. ¡°Lou Shan and Tong Mu pay rent in the True Martial Sect too. Do you think you can enter the True Martial Sect for free just because you have a high status?¡±Jiang Chen asked disdainfully. After a while, the two compromised. After all, as Pavilion Masters, they had to pay rent, and since they were only Vice Pavilion Masters, there was no reason for them not to pay rent. ¡°In that case¡­ we will pay it..¡± Chapter 25 - Entered the Dark Forest and Encountered the Herd of Blue-flamed Bulls! Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation After a short while, the two bade farewell to Jiang Chen and headed straight to the True Martial Sect. On the other hand, Jiang Chen headed straight to the Dark Forest. On the way to the Dark Forest, Jiang Chen encountered a few groups of people one after another. These people were all beasthunters who often wandered on the edge of the Dark Forest. In their eyes, profit was everything. In short, as long as these people had profit, they could kill anything! At this moment, a man suddenly called out to Jiang Chen. ¡°Little brother, are you heading into the Dark Forest alone?¡± Jiang Chen turned around and took a look. The man he was talking to was a burly man. He reeked of blood. Although he spoke to Jiang Chen kindly, Jiang Chen could still notice the greed in his eyes. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business whether I am alone or not.¡± Jiang Chen didn¡¯t intend to answer him. Then, he continued walking. The burly man was furious when he saw Jiang Chen. He waved his hand and rushed over with a group of people. ¡°Kid, we¡¯re here to rob you!¡± The burly man looked at Jiang Chen and continued with a sinister smile, ¡°A kid in the late stage of the Spirit Realm dares to come to the Dark Forest alone. He¡¯s really giving us a piece of meat!¡± ¡°A robbery?¡± Jiang Chen was speechless. The strongest among these people was only at the early stage of the Physical Realm. How could they have the guts to rob him? More importantly, these people had poor observation? How could they have chosen him for the robbery? After all, Jiang Chen was poor! ¡°Kid, hurry up and hand over all your valuables. Otherwise, don¡¯t blame us for being rude!¡± ¡°Pfft, why are we even wasting time on this guy? Let¡¯s just rob him. Can¡¯t we do it ourselves? Why do we have to let him hand it over himself?¡± A late stage Spirit Realm cultivator said impatiently. As soon as he finished speaking, a man stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Chen with True Qi in his hand. At that moment, a ray of sword light suddenly flashed and pierced through the forehead of the man who attacked Jiang Chen. ¡°How dare you have the audacity to rob in front of us!¡± All of a sudden, everyone turned around and saw three youths walking over slowly not far away. They were two men and one woman. The woman wore a pink crown on her head, and she was quite beautiful. The other two men were dressed in white, and they held a treasured sword in their arms. ¡°Disciples of the Star Sword Sect, damn it!¡± ¡°This Dark Forest is thousands of kilometers away from their Star Sword Sect. What are they doing here?¡± The burly man looked at the three of them, and his expression was one of panic. Before the three of them had even walked over, the burly man had already run away without any hesitation. Their main reason to flee was the fact that this Star Sword Sect was a seventh-grade sect. And once their disciples came out for a battle, their cultivation would definitely not be lower than the late stage of the Physical Realm. A rough man couldn¡¯t afford to offend such a person. It was true. The man in the lead among the three had already reached the middle stage of the Conception Realm. The woman with the lowest cultivation had already reached the late stage of the Physical Realm. ¡°Little brother, are you okay?¡± The man, who had just killed a bandit, asked gently. ¡°I¡¯m fine, but I have to thank you for helping me,¡± Jiang Chen said. ¡°Huh, a late stage Spirit Realm cultivator dares to come to the Dark Forest. He really doesn¡¯t know what he¡¯s capable of,¡± the leading man said disdainfully. ¡°By the way, Li Yuan, don¡¯t waste your time with such matters in the future anyway.¡± ¡°Apprentice Brother Lin Mo, as sword practitioners, we should have helped him out. If I hadn¡¯t helped him just now, he would have been killed,¡± Li Yuan answered. ¡°Have you forgotten that the world of practitioners is cruel? If an irrelevant person dies, so be it. He can only blame himself for not being strong enough?¡± As soon as the youngster said that, the youngster called Li Yuan fell silent. It seemed he was afraid of the leader, Lin Mo¡­ ¡°Apprentice brother, our destination is the fiery torrent herb in the depths of the Dark Forest. There must be a lot of dangers along the way. Why don¡¯t we take him with us?¡± The only woman among the three asked. ¡°Huh. With a level of cultivation that low, he is only going to be a burden to us!¡± The leader of the group glanced at Jiang Chen disdainfully and walked away directly. Jiang Chen shook his head secretly while looking at the man¡¯s back. He was in the middle of the Conception Realm? When did he become so arrogant? It was one thing for him to be so arrogant, but since when did a person in the Conception Realm enter the depths of the Sunset Forest? There were many beasts in the periphery of the Dark Forest and countless Dao Realm beast kings inside. The beasts in the depths of the Dark Forest were as strong as a group of top human powerhouses. It wasn¡¯t an exaggeration to say that any sneeze would kill a large number of people in the Dao Realm. However, their target was the fiery torrent herb, which surprised Jiang Chen a little. ¡°Well, I, Jiang Chen, don¡¯t owe anyone anything. Although those people weren¡¯t my match, if that Li Yuan didn¡¯t attack, I would have somehow killed them!¡± Jiang Chen sighed. Then, he followed them from a distance of 1,000 meters away. After the time it took for an incense stick to burn. Jiang Chen found that the trees around him were getting taller and thicker, and his True Qi was becoming denser. All the signs indicated that they had entered the depths of the Dark Forest. After a while, he suddenly heard the sound of a fight not far away. Boom Jiang Chen¡¯s eyes lit up. He gathered his True Qi in his eyes and looked over 1,000 meters away. He saw Li Yuan and the other two fighting with a beast at the late stage of the Physical Realm. The beast was as big as an ox. It had three horns on its head and was covered in black spiritual tablets. There was a wisp of blue flame on the tip of its tail. ¡°Blue-flamed Bulls?¡± ¡°If you want to keep fighting, you won¡¯t be able to leave when the Blue-flamed Bulls gather here!¡± Jiang Chen sighed slightly. The Blue-flamed Bulls was a herd monster. If they really gathered here, even if Lin Mo was at the middle stage of the Conception Realm, he would not be able to save them. However, Lin Mo and the other two had been cultivating harder as compared to those of the Xingjian Sect. They didn¡¯t know much about some beasts. Facing a demonic beast at the late stage of the Physical Realm, they naturally did not take it to heart so it was even more impossible for them to retreat. After ten breaths¡¯ time, several cow roars that resounded through the clouds rang out. In the blink of an eye, towering trees in the surroundings fell one after another, and smoke and dust spread in the sky. In the blink of an eye, a group of up to thirty Blue-flamed Bulls completely surrounded the three of them. ¡°They¡­ they live in herds. What should we do now?¡± Looking at the herd of beasts in front of her, the girl couldn¡¯t help but tremble. ¡°Apprentice brother, I didn¡¯t expect there to be a middle stage Conception Realm beast among these¡­ What should we do now?¡± Li Yuan swallowed and asked worriedly. However, their apprentice brother wasn¡¯t sure either. He didn¡¯t know how to answer them. 1,000 meters away. Jiang Chen¡¯s eyes were fixed on the strongest monster. ¡°The Blue-flamed Bulls at the middle stage of Conception Realm!¡± Jiang Chen murmured. He couldn¡¯t help but mourn for them silently. The Blue-flamed Bull alone was enough to kill all three of them. Besides, there were more than 30 of them. Lin Mo and the other two wouldn¡¯t be able to escape even if they had wings.. Chapter 26 - Jiang Chen Attacked and Subdued Them Instantly! Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation If Jiang Chen hadn¡¯t attacked, Lin Mo and the other two would have been dead for sure. ¡°Li Yuan, I saved you this time. I don¡¯t owe you anything now!¡± Jiang Chen moved his legs and dashed forward. He was only 1,000 meters away from them. In less than three seconds, he had already reached in front of them. The three widened their eyes the moment Jiang Chen appeared. ¡°You¡­ Why are you here? What are you standing around for? Get out of here.¡± Li Yuan was shocked. He hadn¡¯t expected to meet Jiang Chen at such a critical moment. ¡°Damn it. Are you here to kill yourself? If not, scram!¡± Lin Mo scolded him. Jiang Chen couldn¡¯t help but take another look at the man called Lin Mo. ¡°You¡¯re not such a bad egg, it¡¯s just your mouth that¡¯s rotten.¡± ¡°Get lost. I don¡¯t have time to collect your corpse when the fight starts!¡± As he spoke, Lin Mo gathered his True Qi between his palms, trying to push Jiang Chen to the periphery of the encirclement. Jiang Chen smiled. He dodged Lin Mo¡¯s True Qi in a flash. ¡°Hey, you¡¯re Li Yuan, right?¡± ¡°You helped me just now. This time, I¡¯ll help you. I don¡¯t owe you anything.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen strode out and stood in front of Li Yuan and the other two. ¡°Damn it. Brat, why are you hiding? I¡¯m not trying to harm you!¡± Lin Mo looked at Jiang Chen fiercely and said. ¡°What are you doing? Get out of my way. Don¡¯t stand in front of us.¡± Li Yuan and the other two were about to rush over, trying to block Jiang Chen behind them. But it was too late. The Blue-flamed Bulls wouldn¡¯t give them any time to waste! Moo! The Blue-flamed Bulls roared at the king. They raised their front hooves high, leaving two deep cracks on the ground. Then, as if they had received an order from the king, the group of Blue-flamed Bulls rushed towards Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen smiled and shouted coldly. ¡°Nine Battle Stratagems! Sturdy as a mountain!¡± The True Qi in Jiang Chen¡¯s body exploded. It solidified into a huge bell in an instant. Behind him was the shadow of a huge mountain. It was floating on Jiang Chen¡¯s back. In the blink of an eye, the Blue-flamed Bulls¡¯ attack had arrived in front of him and collided with his bell. Although Jiang Chen¡¯s defense was strong, there were too many of them. He couldn¡¯t hold them off for long. Three seconds later, his defense was broken. Whoosh! At that moment, a strong wind swept over the sword radiance and landed on the Blue-flamed Bulls. However, the Blue-flamed Bulls¡¯ defense was still too strong. The sword radiance didn¡¯t do much damage to them. The person who had shot the sword light was Lin Mo, who had the highest cultivation among the three. ¡°Kid, let¡¯s go!¡± As he spoke, Lin Mo wielded a blue longsword in his hand and shot out several more sword lights! Jiang Chen didn¡¯t pay any attention to Lin Mo. he smiled calmly and said, ¡°How could a few animals hurt me?!¡± As Jiang Chen spoke, the flames on the tails of the Blue-flamed Bulls suddenly gathered and formed a huge blue flame. It flew directly at Jiang Chen. Boom! The huge blue flame seemed to cover everything. However, when the seemingly fierce attack landed beside Jiang Chen, the shadow of the mountain behind him suddenly shook! All of a sudden! The power of heaven and earth gathered, and a fierce wind blew over! When the blue flame hit the shadow of Jiang Chen¡¯s mountain shadow, it disappeared in an instant. Although the attack had been canceled out, Jiang Chen¡¯s cultivation was too low. The moment he took the attack, his face turned pale. ¡°Whew. Kid, I admit I underestimated you, but your cultivation is too low. Run!¡± ¡°Yeah! Let¡¯s go, Kid!¡± Lin Mo and Li Yuan yelled anxiously. The fight had reached its climax. How could Jiang Chen retreat now? Besides, Jiang Chen had already attacked. How could he retreat! ¡°Seal of the Beast!¡± Jiang Chen¡¯s eyes gleamed. Holding the Seal of the Beast, he injected his True Qi into it. In the space of one breath, a rune suddenly appeared on the Seal of the Beast. Seeing this, Lin Mo and Li Yuan¡¯s pupils dilated. They spoke up in disbelief. ¡°The Seal of the Beast?¡± ¡°How is that possible? How are you able to use the Beast Sect¡¯s secret technique? How did he find it?¡± ¡°Could it be that he is from the Beast Sect?¡± ¡­ The three stared at the Seal of the Beast in Jiang Chen¡¯s hand. They couldn¡¯t figure it out. Jiang Chen¡¯s cultivation was only at the late stage of the Spirit Realm. The Seal of the Beast was the secret technique of the Beast Sect. Most importantly, the Beast Sect was a first-grade sect. As a first-grade sect, how could its disciples be so weak? [Seal of the Beast! Once this seal is released, all the beasts in the world will submit to it!] Moo! Moo! After Jiang Chen released the Seal of the Beast, the group of Blue-flamed Bulls only kept roaring beside Jiang Chen and the others. However, they weren¡¯t attacking Jiang Chen and the others. The Blue-flamed Bulls just stood there. A hint of struggle flashed across their ferocious faces! ¡°If a small Blue-flamed Bull could break free from the power of the Seal of the Beast, it wouldn¡¯t be called the Seal of the Beast!¡± Jiang Chen smiled disdainfully at the struggling Blue-flamed Bulls. ¡°By the way, let¡¯s scram out of here!¡± ¡°My cultivation is too low. The Seal of the Beast will lose its power soon. By then, I won¡¯t be able to escape.¡± Looking at the three, Jiang Chen said indifferently. ¡°Thank you. Let¡¯s go!¡± Lin Mo and the others didn¡¯t ask any more questions. They left quickly after a light shout. ¡°Young brother, follow us,¡± Li Yuan looked back at Jiang Chen and shouted anxiously. However, Jiang Chen shook his head indifferently and said, ¡°You can go now!¡± ¡°I have to go further deep into the Dark Forest.¡± Lin Mo glared at him and shouted as soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking. ¡°Damn it! Do you want to die? !¡± His mouth was still as foul as ever. ¡°Die?¡± ¡°Who dares to take my life on this continent? Even if someone really wants to take my life, I don¡¯t think the heavens will agree to it!¡± Although what Jiang Chen said was arrogant, it was the truth. After all, he still had eight disciples in the Nine Heavens. If these eight disciples knew Jiang Chen was still alive and that he had lost his life in the Red Sun Continent, they wouldn¡¯t be able to make a fuss in this world. When Lin Mo and the others heard this, a look of helplessness flashed across their faces. ¡°Forget it! Our goal is to go deeper. Let¡¯s go together!¡± As soon as they finished speaking, Lin Mo and the others turned around again and went to Jiang Chen¡¯s side. Jiang Chen didn¡¯t say anything. He would just follow them! However, Jiang Chen was a bit confused about their goal, or rather, the Star Sword Sect¡¯s goal. Was it true that a seventh-grade sect would go deep into the Dark Forest for a mere fiery herb? Chapter 27 - Evil Woman Hunted By the Yan Sect! Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Although the fiery torrent herb was precious, how could a seventh-grade sect like the Star Sword Sect not have one? Jiang Chen wouldn¡¯t believe it if he said they didn¡¯t have one. Then, the three disciples of the Star Sword Sect must have some secret for going deep into the Dark Forest. ¡°You aren¡¯t going deep into the Dark Forest just to find a fiery torrent herb, are you?¡± Jiang Chen asked thoughtfully. To his surprise, Lin Mo, who had been bad-mouthed all this time, answered Jiang Chen¡¯s question. ¡°If you hadn¡¯t saved us, I wouldn¡¯t have told you!¡± ¡°Not long ago, there was no news of our vice sect master after he entered the Dark Forest. Our purpose this time is to find intel about our vice sect master.¡± ¡°You mustn¡¯t leak this news. Otherwise, even though you saved my life, I won¡¯t spare you!¡± Whether a sect was powerful or not didn¡¯t depend on how many disciples they had, but on how many powerhouses there were in the sect! If news of the disappearance of the Star Sword Sect¡¯s vice sect master spread out, the Star Sword Sect would have to reevaluate its status. At worst¡­ they would even be targeted by a strong faction. ¡°What realm is your deputy sect master at?¡±Jiang Chen asked in confusion. ¡°Fourth level of the Dao Realm. Why?¡± Lin Mo answered subconsciously. Jiang Chen frowned and fell into deep thought. If he was really in the fourth level of the Dao Realm, he should be able to survive even if he ran into a beast at the Dao Realm in the Dark Forest. While Jiang Chen was deep in thought, Lin Mo spoke again. ¡°Our leader has always been puzzled. With our vice leader¡¯s cultivation, it¡¯s impossible for him to die in the Dark Forest.¡± ¡°However, several groups of people have come to look for him, but in the end, they still couldn¡¯t find him!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go! We¡¯ll either find him alive or dead. Before we see the truth, anything is possible.¡± While they were talking, Jiang Chen had already walked quite a distance ahead of them. At the same time, Jiang Chen was still on guard against what they were saying, but he didn¡¯t show it. As the saying goes, you can¡¯t tell a man¡¯s heart from his face. It was impossible for Jiang Chen to completely believe what they were saying. After all, Lin Mo¡¯s sword wasn¡¯t ordinary. It was made of gemstone, gold, wood, and stone. It wouldn¡¯t be a problem if it was used as a sect-guarding treasure in the Star Sword Sect, but he, a disciple, had it with him¡­ They said they were looking for someone in the Dark Forest, but Jiang Chen didn¡¯t intend to help them at all. Time flew by! Jiang Chen and the others went dozens of kilometers deeper into the Dark Forest. They didn¡¯t encounter any beasts along the way, so they were quite safe. ¡°This is the depths of the Dark Forest. Let¡¯s part ways here!¡± ¡°We¡¯re going to look for our master!¡± Lin Mo¡¯s eyes lit up. He cupped his hands at Jiang Chen and bade farewell. ¡°Okay. Bye!¡± Jiang Chen replied calmly. Not until they disappeared from his sight did Jiang Chen begin to venture into the forest. He continued to look for the fiery torrent herb. Soon, Jiang Chen was ten kilometers away. When he came to a place full of weeds, he suddenly stopped. He saw human beings and beasts¡¯ corpses in front of him. ¡°The corpse was sucked dry. This must be¡­¡± Looking at the corpses in front of him, Jiang Chen knew something big was going to happen in the Dark Forest! Jiang Chen kept walking as he murmured. On this road, there were mostly corpses of beasts and human beings everywhere. All of these corpses had become desiccated after their blood had been sucked dry. ¡°Interesting.¡± The deeper he went, the more Jiang Chen thought something interesting was going to happen. Jiang Chen had visited this Dark Forest once 5,000 years ago, but he had never encountered such a strange thing. He hadn¡¯t expected to encounter such a strange thing when he came here again 5,000 years later. In this way, Jiang Chen kept looking for the fiery torrent herb and went deeper into the forest. Ding ~ Boom ~ After searching for a while, Jiang Chen suddenly heard the sound of weapons clashing and True Qi exploding. A few seconds later, he saw a group of disciples in black battle robes chasing after a masked woman. Beside these black-robed disciples were the corpses of four or five black-robed disciples whose blood had been sucked dry. ¡°Black-robed disciples from the Yan Sect?¡± The corners of Jiang Chen¡¯s mouth curled up slightly. It was a narrow road for enemies. He didn¡¯t expect to meet his mortal enemy from the True Martial Sect here. ¡°Damn it! Evil woman of the demonic sect, how dare you kill my Junior Brother? Come here and face your death!¡± ¡°Kill that witch!¡± Although the disciples of the Yan Sect were all enraged, none of them really dared to attack the masked woman. Apparently, the disciples of the Yan Sect were afraid of the masked woman. ¡°You keep saying that I practice an evil technique. Tell me, how so?¡± The masked woman shouted coldly, ¡°I didn¡¯t kill any of these guys. They were already dead by the time I arrived!¡± ¡°Hmph! Who are you trying to kid? You killed these men¡± ¡°My junior brother and the others were clearly killed by you. No doubt that you¡¯re cultivating using the Demonic Devouring Technique. Stop arguing!¡± The Yan Sect disciples all had angry expressions, and they were already eager to give it a try. ¡°The concept of good and evil does not apply to cultivation techniques? Any technique that exists has a reason to be!¡± The masked woman said coldly, ¡°In fact, you should look at yourselves, people from the Yan Sect. Don¡¯t you call yourself a righteous sect? Yet here you are trying to kill me to obtain the secrets of the Demonic Devouring Technique.¡± The disciples of the Yan Sect were rendered speechless by her words. ¡°Humph! Once you¡¯re dead, everything you have would be ours anyway. I don¡¯t want to waste my time talking to you anymore!¡± In the dark, Jiang Chen, who had witnessed everything, laughed disdainfully. All of a sudden, he felt a cold and bloodthirsty aura approaching him. As for the owner of this aura, Jiang Chen could clearly feel that he was very powerful. He had to be at least at the ninth layer of the Dao Realm to be able to release such a terrifying aura. As expected, after Jiang Chen stopped for a moment, a burst of sinister laughter suddenly sounded. ¡°Haha¡­¡± The sinister laughter echoed in everyone¡¯s ears. The bodies of the Yan Sect disciples subconsciously shivered, and they all looked towards the direction of the voice. They only saw a man covered in black fog, stepping on countless white bones as he slowly walked over from afar. His speed was not too fast, as if he was strolling leisurely in a courtyard. But when these Yan Sect disciples looked over, it was as if there was a ferocious giant beast staring at them. For a moment, the air seemed to have frozen and attacked them. The wind that blew over was bone-chilling! Cold sweat dripped down the foreheads of these Yan Sect disciples¡­. Chapter 28 - Gathering of the Sects, Sunset Ruins! Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Endless death energy spread out rapidly. Jiang Chen, who had been hiding in the dark, couldn¡¯t help but frown when he saw this. ¡°Ninth heaven of the Dao Realm, demonic cultivation technique. It seems everything is clear!¡± Jiang Chen was sure that the corpses from before were most likely his doing. Besides, it had nothing to do with this man of the Dao of the demons, who was in the ninth level of the Dao Realm. The demonic cultivation technique was only a general term. There were many types of cultivation techniques, and the most famous one among the demonic cultivation techniques was a cultivation technique that was cultivated by devouring the blood essence of others. This cultivation technique belonged to the ultimate yin type. All the cultivators on the entire continent would basically kill it upon seeing it, and they would definitely not show any mercy. Although the masked woman also cultivated a demonic cultivation technique, hers was still a little inferior compared to the man in front of her. ¡®Two people from the Demonic Sect, the Star Sword Sect, and the Yan Sect¡­ I guess there are many sects and factions that I haven¡¯t seen yet. What interesting things will happen in the Dark Forest.¡¯ Jiang Chen was guessing in his heart. Meanwhile, on the other side. When the masked woman saw who it was, a hint of anger flashed in her eyes. ¡°Chong Jiu, don¡¯t do anything rash!¡± ¡°Keke¡­ Junior Sister, you are really naive. How could I be rash!?¡± Chong Jiu smiled sinisterly at the few Yan Sect disciples. His meaning was self-evident. The Yan Sect disciples looked at the man in front of them, whose entire body was filled with a sinister aura. Their faces instantly turned extremely pale. Even the one who had shouted the loudest earlier could not help but tremble at this moment. ¡°Chong Jiu, even though demonic cultivation techniques are said to be evil, one must decide for himself if he wishes to be good or evil. You can¡¯t go around killing innocent people just because you cultivate a demonic cultivation technique!¡± The masked woman thought that her persuasion would make the man give up on the idea of killing the Yan Sect disciples. However, this was only her own idea. Chong Jiu did not take her words to heart at all. The demonic qi around the man exploded with a loud bang, like a wild horse that had gotten free from its reins, sweeping towards the Yan Sect disciples. Wherever the demonic qi passed by, the essence qi of the vegetation was completely sucked dry. ¡°Run! Run quickly!¡± The Yan Sect disciples reacted very quickly. In just a breath¡¯s time, they shouted and retreated backward. But it was already too late. Considering the speed of Chong Jiu¡¯s demonic Qi, it only took an instant for it to spread out, enveloping everything in the surroundings. In the blink of an eye, all the disciples of the Yan Sect were engulfed in the demonic Qi. They didn¡¯t even have time to let out a scream. In the next moment! After the demonic Qi dispersed, only their withered bodies were left¡­ ¡°Junior Sister, we are both disciples of the Demonic Sect. Did you think you could be a virtuous little lily or something?¡± ¡°Let me tell you, the moment you joined the Demonic Sect, you had already lost all semblance of purity and goodness?¡± The masked woman fell silent when she heard that. That¡¯s right! She had always believed that even though she had entered the Demonic Sect, as long as she did not do anything evil, she could attain the Dao! However, it seemed that as time passed and she saw the darkness of human nature, her firm heart¡­ She did not know when it began to waver. Sometimes, she clearly did not do anything, nor did she hurt anyone. However, as long as someone knew that she had cultivated the Demonic Devouring Technique¡­ She instantly became the person that everyone wanted to kill! Since it was like this, what was the meaning of it? After pondering for a long time, the masked woman said. ¡°Chong Jiu, I will leave the Demonic Sect when I obtain what I seek from the Sunset ruins!¡± When Chong Jiu heard this, he immediately started laughing wildly. ¡°Well said!¡± ¡°Leave the Demonic Sect? Can you do that?¡± A cold glint flashed in Chong Jiu¡¯s eyes. ¡°As the successor of the Demonic Devouring Technique, I am afraid there is absolutely nothing you can decide for yourself!¡± ¡°Hmph! This is none of your business. No one can control me!¡± The masked woman snorted coldly before turning around and leaving the place! Soon after the woman left, Chong Jiu also turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared. In the dark. ¡°Sunset ruins?¡± ¡®No wonder the Dark Forest is so full of secrets!¡¯ Jiang Chen thought to himself. The Dark Forest was famous because of the ancient ruins. If Jiang Chen remembered correctly, the ruins were left behind by the Sunset Demon God. ¡®No wonder the Star Sword Sect, the Yan Sect, and the other sects and factions that I haven¡¯t yet encountered are all willing to travel so far¡­¡¯ ¡®For the sake of the inheritance of the Sunset Demon God, right?¡¯ Jiang Chen was quite disdainful of these sects and factions. The Star Sword Sect focused on the great spirit of the sword. It was a well-known orthodox sect, but it came here for the inheritance of the Sunset Demon God¡­ Of course¡­ The Star Sword Sect, the Yan Sect, and the other sects up front were basically the orthodox sects. But now, they were looking to capture the disciples of the Demonic Sect in the Dark Forest to steal their techniques and inheritance. It was ridiculous! ¡°What¡¯s a demon? What¡¯s a Buddha? Good and evil are mixed together. It¡¯s hard to tell good from evil. You¡¯re a demon just because you¡¯ve practiced the demonic techniques? What¡¯s a monk with blood on his hands?¡± Jiang Chen murmured softly. He shook his head slowly, and then he let out a sigh. In his previous life, Jiang Chen had dominated the Red Sun Continent. He was also the Holy King of stars at the Nine Heavens. He had lived for thousands of years, and he had seen too many things and people. He still remembered a person in his previous life who was called the Demon King of Chaos. He had saved countless people, and the price he had paid was his life. He had also seen a person who was praised as a living Buddha and the savior of the world with his own eyes. However, his hands were covered in blood as he had killed countless people in the dark. As time went by, in Jiang Chen¡¯s eyes, the Buddha and the devil were nothing more than the eyes of the secular world! ¡°Such an interesting thing. How could I miss that?!¡± Then, Jiang Chen turned around and left, heading straight for the depths of the Dark Forest. It just so happened that the fiery torrent herb was most likely located in the depths of the Dark Forest. As for the Sunset Demon God¡¯s inheritance, Jiang Chen wasn¡¯t interested in it. After all, the Sunset Demon God was Jiang Chen¡¯s subordinate when he was at the Nine Heavens. As his subordinate, Jiang Chen naturally knew of his cultivation techniques. To be honest, Jiang Chen didn¡¯t care about it at all. At this moment, there was only one person that Jiang Chen valued, and that was Chong Jiu, the ninth layer Dao Realm powerhouse. Chong Jiu was already covered in blood, and if he killed more people and absorbed their blood essence to cultivate, he would trigger heaven¡¯s punishment If Jiang Chen could suppress Chong Jiu, the ninth layer Dao Realm powerhouse, he could use him to trigger heaven¡¯s punishment and send down lightning. In this way, Jiang Chen wouldn¡¯t have to spend so much effort to make any preparations, and he would be able to practice the endless formula cultivation technique directly. Jiang Chen walked forward for over 100 kilometers and finally arrived near the ruins of the so-called Sunset Demon God. Jiang Chen saw many representatives of factions from a long distance away. He was familiar with the Yan Sect, the Star Sword Sect, and the Eight Gates Sect, Martial Arts Pavilion, and the Allied Clans that Jiang Chen remembered from his previous life¡­. Chapter 29 - The Grand Elder of the Demonic Sect, Mo Xingtian! Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Jiang Chen shook his head disdainfully as he looked at the so-called righteous sects and factions in the distance. Their intentions were obvious. They were all here for the inheritance of the Sunset Demon God. However, the highest cultivation of the cultivators sent by these sects and factions was only at the ninth layer of the Dao Realm, which was on par with Chong Jiu, the ninth layer Dao Realm powerhouse of the Demonic Sect. Since other sects and factions had sent so many people, how could the Demonic sect only send one person? There must be someone stronger than the ninth level of the Dao Realm. ¡°When the relic opens, you orthodox sects and factions will be anxious. I¡¯m sure you¡¯ll do better than those with evil intentions!¡± Jiang Chen said with a sneer. At that moment, Jiang Chen was looking at them from a distance. He didn¡¯t want to participate in the fight. After all, Jiang Chen didn¡¯t want to use his trump card on these people. Two hours passed by. Suddenly, several booming sounds resounded in the sky near these sects and factions. Boom Boom ¡°Haha, the Sunset Miracle is about to arrive¡­¡± ¡°We¡¯ve waited for so long, and it¡¯s finally here!¡± When these sects and factions¡¯ people heard the booming sounds of the sunset ruin¡¯s arrival, they threw their heads back and laughed loudly. When Jiang Chen took a closer look, he found that the star sword sect, the Yan sect, the eight directions sect, and the alliance had already started a big fight. Among these forces, only the people of the Martial Pavilion didn¡¯t join in the big fight. ¡°Wow, they¡¯re really good at stirring up trouble. Even before the people of the Demon Sect came, a group of righteous people had already started a big fight over the Sunset Ruins. What a bunch of sanctimonious guys,¡± Jiang Chen said disdainfully. The sunset ruins were the inheritance of the Sunset Demon God. In front of the righteous people, the greed, evil, and all kinds of desires they had hidden in their hearts had all been revealed and magnified. Blood had already been dyed in the vicinity of the Sunset Ruins. The fight lasted for an hour. Just as their battle was in the depths of Hell, the main leader of the Demonic Sect, Chong Jiu, appeared. ¡°Keke¡­ You trash, how can you touch the ruins that belong to our Demonic Sect!¡± His sinister voice was extremely cold, and it was filled with a large amount of demonic Qi. Looking over, one could see Chong Jiu floating in the air. A ball of black demonic Qi surrounded his body as he slowly walked over. Wherever the demonic qi passed by, the grass and trees would wither. Some of the weaker sect disciples had their vitality cut off, and their entire bodies instantly turned into dried corpses. ¡°Demon level nine! You actually dare to show your face. Are you courting death?¡± ¡°We Righteous people will definitely kill you, a demon sect disciple who has brought disaster to the human world!¡± For a moment, the Eight Gates Sect, Yan Zong, and the other sect factions instantly stopped fighting. The weapons in their hands were all pointed at the ninth level. In the silence of the battle just now, the representatives of the martial pavilion who had not joined the battle also stepped out at this moment. The True Qi in their bodies was like a violent storm as they met the Demonic Qi on Chong Jiu¡¯s body. Not long after, Chong Jiu¡¯s demonic Qi was directly dispersed. ¡°With just a few of you, you still dare to dream of taking my head. I¡¯m afraid that you are all daydreaming!¡± Faced with so many factions, not only did Chong Jiu not feel the slightest bit of fear, he even started to laugh loudly. Just as Chong Jiu was laughing wildly, an aura that was even more oppressive than the demonic qi on Chong Jiu¡¯s body spread out in all directions. In an instant, a white-haired old man suddenly appeared beside Chong Jiu like a ghost. Looking at the white-haired old man in front of them, the faces of everyone in the sect, apart from the martial pavilion, changed drastically. Their expressions were constantly filled with terror. ¡°Mo¡­ Mo Xingtian, what are you doing here!?¡± ¡°Damn it, the first elder of the Demonic Sect is at the ninth layer of the Dao Realm. Are we confident if we join forces?¡± ¡°How could it be this guy? This is going to be troublesome!¡± The Demonic Sect was the most powerful Demonic Sect in the northern mountain area. Mo Xingtian was the first elder of the Demonic Sect, known as the Demon Xingtian! And Mo Xingtian¡¯s cultivation base was even more terrifying. He was just one step away from breaking through the shackles of the Dao Realm! ¡®As I expected, there¡¯s more than just nine layers at the Dao Realm. There¡¯s even a man who¡¯s only half a step away from breaking through the ninth layer of the Dao Realm.¡¯ Jiang Chen, who was hiding in the dark, sneered. However, just as Jiang Chen was about to find a suitable time to suppress Chong Jiu, the ninth layer Dao Realm powerhouse of the Demonic Sect, he suddenly felt an extremely evil aura lock on his position. ¡°Damn¡­ this aura. It seems like Mo Xingtian has sensed my presence!¡± Standing on the treetop, Jiang Chen couldn¡¯t help but smile bitterly. After all, Mo Xingtian was at the ninth layer of the Dao Realm. Jiang Chen¡¯s cultivation was too low, so it was only a matter of time before he was discovered. ¡°An ant hiding in the dark dares to look down on me!¡± In the distance, Mo Xingtian¡¯s eyes lit up. Then, he threw his palm toward the treetop where Jiang Chen was hiding at. The overwhelming demonic Qi rushed toward him like a wave. ¡°Nine words of war ¡ª guard like a mountain.¡± Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows. A golden bell was formed in an instant, blocking Jiang Chen¡¯s way. Boom The demonic Qi dissipated the bell in no time. Then the mountain behind Jiang Chen appeared and collided with it again. In an instant, the power of Heaven and earth erupted, and the demonic Qi of Mo Xingtian was directly dispersed. ¡°The power of Heaven and earth?¡± Mo Xingtian¡¯s eyes lit up, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes. Although he didn¡¯t know the power of Heaven and earth, he was extremely familiar with this kind of move that borrowed the power of heaven and earth. Usually, anyone who could borrow the power of heaven and earth had extremely profound cultivation. ¡°May I know who you are?¡± Mo Xingtian cupped his hands toward Jiang Chen and bowed respectfully. However, when he saw Jiang Chen falling from the treetop, he was dumbfounded¡­ ¡­ The person who borrowed the power of Heaven and earth was actually a youngster, and he was also a youngster in the upper state of the spirit state. ¡°True Martial Sect, sect master, Jiang Chen.¡± After he landed on the treetop, Jiang Chen smiled and walked towards the crowd step by step. When he stopped, he had already formed a triangle with the martial pavilion and the demon sect¡¯s formation. When everyone saw Jiang Chen¡¯s face clearly, a middle-aged man suddenly stood out from the crowd. This person was the Yan sect¡¯s sect master, Yan Lin¡¯s father. ¡°The Sect Leader of the True Martial Sect, Jiang Chen?¡± ¡°The person who planted the seal on my son, Yan Lin, was you?¡± Seeing their master stand up, the disciples of the Yan sect also took a step forward and shouted angrily. ¡°If we didn¡¯t come here, that day will be the day your True Martial Sect will be destroyed!¡± ¡°And if the seal you left on my son will affect his future development, I will definitely pull out your tendons and skin you alive!¡± However, just as the people from the Yan sect were cursing and swearing, Chong Jiuan, who was standing beside him, couldn¡¯t help but attack. ¡°You Little Ant, go to hell!¡± Then, Mo Xingtian struck Jiang Chen directly with his palm¡­. Chapter 30 - Jiang Chen had attacked, and Ninefold had Fallen! Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation In fact, when Mo Xingtian had attacked, his evil energy had been shaken away by Jiang Chen. Ninefold had been afraid of Jiang Chen, who had been hiding in the dark. But when Jiang Chen had shown up and sensed that he was in the upper state of the spirit state, ninefold had become more cautious. He had relaxed his vigilance in an instant. In his eyes, the upper state of the spirit state was no different from an ant. It was an existence that could be killed with one breath. ¡°You¡¯ve done so many incredible things. It¡¯s your best fate to be suppressed by me!¡± Jiang Chen smiled coldly. Wisps of genuine qi gathered between his palms. In the blink of an eye, the genuine qi between his fingers turned into thin threads, and a talisman appeared in his hand. The Talisman was covered with several lightning runes. The moment Jiang Chen drew the runes, the sky above the dark forest turned dark. Dark Clouds had already covered the sky above the dark forest! Seeing the talisman in Jiang Chen¡¯s hand, Chong Jiu and Mo Xingtian were shocked. Their pupils couldn¡¯t help but tremble. The representatives of the Xingjian sect, the Yan Pavilion, the Martial Pavilion, and other forces were even more shocked when they saw the talisman. Among thousands of practitioners, only one talisman master could be found. To sects and schools, Talisman Masters were as precious as treasures. It was because a powerful talisman master could turn the tide of a battle by himself. He could even take on thousands of soldiers by himself! It was enough to show how precious a talisman Master was! The runes in Jiang Chen¡¯s hand were even more terrifying. They were the tribulation clouds that terrified countless practitioners¡­ ¡­ ¡°Your Excellency, let¡¯s talk this out. There¡¯s no need to do this!¡± ¡°Kid, stop it now!¡± The ninefold demon Xingtian and the other two turned pale. They spoke anxiously, trying to stop Jiang Chen. They were from the demon school, although their states were higher than Jiang Chen¡¯s. However, once the Tribulation Cloud was formed, they would have to pay a heavy price for what they had done! Even if they were in a high state, they wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand the lightning punishment! ¡°Chongjiu, weren¡¯t you arrogant before? Why are you so afraid of my attack, which is just a small upper state of the Spirit State?¡± Jiang Chen laughed mockingly and said, ¡°Now, you should just accept the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation!¡± Chongjiu was in complete despair when he heard Jiang Chen¡¯s words. His arrogant and arrogant look had disappeared in the fear of death¡­ Chongjiu knew very well how many creatures he had killed and how much blood essence he had absorbed! Now, once the heavenly tribulation descended, he would definitely die. There was no chance of survival at all. Mo Xingtian, on the other hand, was slightly better off. Although he was a member of the Devil School, his crime of killing was not as serious as CHONGJIU¡¯s. When the heavenly tribulation descended, he would not die, but he would also be on the verge of death. However, when Mo Xingtian glanced around at the surrounding forces, who were eyeing him like a tiger, his mood was almost the same as Chongjiu¡¯s. After all, once he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, the forces of the school would definitely take action to save his life. Chongjiu, who knew he was going to die, made his final decision after thinking for a long time. He¡­ He had to kill Jiang Chen, who had killed him, before he died! ¡°Kid, Die!¡± Chongjiu shouted angrily. The evil energy in his body spread out instantly, attacking Jiang Chen like a long black dragon! Jiang Chen was cautious when he saw this. ¡°Nine words of the word of war ¡ª guard like a mountain,¡±Jiang Chen said softly. The golden bell on his body appeared, and the shadow of a mountain appeared behind him. The huge shadow of the mountain enveloped Jiang Chen like an indestructible rock. However, the shadow of the mountain was still a bit weak when it was attacked by a full-strength attack of cloud nine of the cloud nine of the cloud nine of the doctrine realm. It disappeared between heaven and earth in no time. Puff Jiang Chen spat out a mouthful of blood. Although he wasn¡¯t dead, he was still injured. At the same time, when Jiang Chen was injured, the tribulation clouds over the relic of the setting sun had formed. Purple Lightning suddenly struck down from the black clouds, drowning Chong Jiu in the Lightning. ¡°Hiss!¡± Chong Jiu only managed to resist the lightning for less than half a second before the evil energy in his body disappeared. In less than a second, he lost the ability to resist. Blood oozed out of his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. He fell to the ground. In the distance, Mo Xingtian had been scared out of his wits when he saw what had happened in less than a second. He couldn¡¯t figure out why he had asked for his life to come to the sunset ruin? He had come here to die! ¡°Your Excellency, Please spare my life. I, Mo Xingtian, will be loyal to you. If you ask me to go east, I won¡¯t Go West!¡± Between Life and death, Mo Xingtian had chosen to lose his dignity¡­ ¡°Oh, I can spare your life, but the master-servant contract must be established. Otherwise, I won¡¯t show you any Mercy!¡±Jiang Chen said mockingly. Mo Xingtian was completely frightened by the death of chongjiu. He had practiced for countless years to reach his current strength. How could he be willing to die like this. He didn¡¯t hesitate at all. He said hurriedly, ¡°I, Mo Xingtian, swear a blood oath in my name. I will respect Jiang Chen as my master and use myself as my servant. From now on, my body, my life, and my soul will be under Jiang Chen¡¯s control!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a drop of essence blood slowly appeared between Mo Xingtian¡¯s eyebrows. A dark rune condensed in the air in an instant. The master-servant contract was formed! Then the rune condensed by Mo Xingtian¡¯s essence blood landed beside Jiang Chen and was put away by him. ¡°Go Away!¡± Jiang Chen shouted. The rune in his hand disappeared immediately. As soon as the talisman disappeared, the disaster clouds above the sunset miracle also disappeared. Although it was over, the fact that Jiang Chen had taken Mo Xingtian in caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the Orthodox people. They started to scold him. ¡°Jiang Chen, as the leader of the genuine martial arts sect, why did you take in such a sinful person like Mo Xingtian?¡± ¡°Jiang Chen, could it be that you have already colluded with the Devil Sect?¡± ¡°Although the true martial arts sect is lonely, it is still a righteous sect. If you were to act in such a manner, could it be that your true martial arts sect has already joined an evil sect?¡± The Yan sect, the star sword sect, the eight directions sect, and even the martial pavilion were all staring at Jiang Chen at this moment. However, there was an undetectable trace of fear in their dissatisfied expressions. This was because Jiang Chen had taken Mo Xingtian as his servant. As a servant, Mo Xingtian would definitely obey Jiang Chen¡¯s orders. Everyone present had witnessed Mo Xingtian¡¯s cultivation, and he was definitely the strongest one. If Jiang Chen ordered Mo Xingtian to fight with them, the consequences would be extremely unpredictable. ¡°Good and evil? Are you the ones who decide the good and Evil?¡± ¡°As long as I don¡¯t do evil, it¡¯s none of your business!¡±Jiang Chen shouted in a low voice.. Chapter 31 - Controlling the Demonic Path, and Getting Rid of the Root of the Problem! Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Jiang Chen was disdainful of the accusations of those who stood on the righteous path! ¡°Jiang Chen, I think you have something to do with the Devil¡¯s Doctrine!¡± ¡°Exactly. Otherwise, you, a cultivator in the upper state of the spirit state, wouldn¡¯t have so many tricks up your sleeve. How could you fight against a ninth level of the ninth level of the Doctrine State?¡± They were puzzled by Jiang Chen¡¯s tricks and strength. He was a cultivator in the upper state of the spirit state. He had so many methods and was so powerful. Only by becoming a demon could he achieve that! But had Jiang Chen really become a demon? They knew very well that Jiang Chen didn¡¯t have any evil energy. They had said that just so that they could stand on the right path. They had forced Jiang Chen to be a demon! However, Jiang Chen didn¡¯t care much about their accusations. ¡°A devil? Fine. Even if I become a devil, what can you do about it?¡± Jiang Chen suddenly sneered. A cold light flashed in his eyes. The people of the Yan sect in the crowd, in particular, showed endless killing intent. ¡°Since I¡¯ve been accused of being a devil, I¡¯ll fight you with the methods of the devil doctrine. which one of you dares to fight me?¡± As expected, when Jiang Chen said this, the whole place became dead silent. Even the representatives of the martial pavilion, the strongest among the forces, became silent at this moment. They even looked away. Beside Jiang Chen, Mo Xingtian was very sensible. When he heard Jiang Chen say this, he hurried to speak. ¡°Master, do you need me to help you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m quite confident in dealing with them.¡±After he finished speaking, Mo Xingtian stood silently beside Jiang Chen. He had signed a master-servant contract with Jiang Chen, even though he was still the same as before. However, if he didn¡¯t perform well, Jiang Chen could still kill him with a single thought. ¡°I don¡¯t like killing¡­ But if someone doesn¡¯t understand, you should teach him a lesson!¡± Jiang Chen was telling the truth. He didn¡¯t like killing people¡­ But he wasn¡¯t afraid of killing people either. The crowd fell silent. In the end, it was the people from the martial pavilion who broke the silence. ¡°Jiang Chen, I¡¯m Liu Tianming, the Vice Master of the Martial Pavilion of the Sunnywood Town.¡± ¡°I know you haven¡¯t become a demon, but I still want to advise you. You must kill Mo Xingtian so that people won¡¯t think you¡¯re a member of the Demon School.¡± ¡°If it comes to that, I¡¯m afraid the true martial arts sect will be implicated as well!¡± Liu Tianming seemed to be trying to persuade Jiang Chen kindly, but there was a hidden meaning in his words. It was obvious that he was threatening him. ¡°What? Are you threatening me?¡± Jiang Chen frowned and said unhappily, ¡°Unfortunately, you have the wrong idea. I don¡¯t like to be threatened!¡± Liu Tianming saw Jiang Chen had made it clear, so he didn¡¯t try to hide it anymore. He said in a cold voice directly. ¡°Huh, so what if I¡¯m threatening you? My Martial Arts Pavilion is one of the top forces in the Redsun continent. You¡¯re just a genuine martial arts school. A branch of your martial arts school can easily destroy your genuine martial arts school!¡± Jiang Chen laughed disdainfully when he heard this. In his previous life, when he stepped into the position of the Star Holy King, he had already accumulated many enemies¡¯bones under his feet. Although he was only in the spirit state, he didn¡¯t really care about a small branch hall of the Martial Arts Pavilion. ¡°Destroy my true martial arts sect? You really dare to say that!¡± Jiang Chen smiled. He waved his hand at mo tianxing and said, ¡°Mo tianxing, I¡¯ll leave it to you!¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡±Mo tianxing nodded respectfully. Then the evil energy around him suddenly burst out. Whoosh Mo tianxing disappeared from where he was and rushed toward Liu Tianming. By the time the people around him realized what had happened, Mo Tianxing had already arrived in front of Liu Tianming. Bang! He struck out with his palm. Liu Tianming didn¡¯t have time to defend himself. Mo Tianxing¡¯s attack had pierced through his glabella. Just like that, Liu Tianming, the Vice Pavilion Master of the Martial Pavilion of Lin Yang Town, fell! ¡°Since Liu Tianming, a member of the Martial Pavilion, has been destroyed by me, then the people he brought with him don¡¯t need to exist in this world anymore. Go To Hell!¡± ¡°Master, I understand!¡± Mo Xingtian swept his gaze across the crowd, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. In the blink of an eye, Mo Xingtian attacked again, directly attacking the remaining members of the Martial Pavilion. PFFT PFFT The remaining members of the martial pavilion weren¡¯t very strong. No one could resist them. Mo Xingtian had killed them all in the space of a few breaths! ¡°What are you waiting for?¡±Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes. ¡°Since all the members of the martial pavilion have been killed, there¡¯s no need for the other forces to let them go. I¡¯ll kill them all. Since they say I¡¯m from the Demon School, I¡¯ll kill them all today!¡± Mo Xingtian looked at Jiang Chen with surprise in his eyes. Jiang Chen had said he didn¡¯t like to kill people. But now¡­ His killing intent was even stronger than his. And terrifying killing intent¡­ ? Could people who really didn¡¯t like to kill have D¡¯s? But on second thought, Mo Xingtian felt relieved. He agreed with Jiang Chen. No matter what, if Jiang Chen really threatened him, he would rather die than go to the netherworld. ¡°Jiang Chen, this has nothing to do with us. You Can¡¯t Kill Us!¡± ¡°Yeah, we won¡¯t leak the news that you killed the martial arts pavilion. You Can¡¯t Kill Us!¡± The Xingjian sect, the Yan sect, the eight directions school, and the Alliance were all panicking¡­ At this moment, everyone knew very well that even if all of them were to join forces, they wouldn¡¯t be a match for Mo Xingtian. ¡°The wind blows, the grass and trees sway, and the rain falls, and it touches all things,¡±Jiang Chen said softly. His expression was calm, and there wasn¡¯t a trace of emotion in his eyes. ¡°Since it touches all things, then there are only two results,¡±Jiang Chen said. ¡°One, the wind stops, and the rain doesn¡¯t fall. Two, the grass and trees are destroyed, and all things are destroyed.¡± ¡°Kill!¡± As soon as Jiang Chen finished speaking, Mo Xingtian turned into a terrifying evil energy and rushed over. The evil energy spread in all directions, and it directly blocked all of their escape routes. ¡°Ah! Jiang Chen¡­ even if I become a ghost, I won¡¯t let you off!¡± ¡°Ah!¡± Blood, wails, roars, and curses could be heard endlessly¡­ A minute later, Jiang Chen suddenly saw three familiar figures outside the area where Mo Xingtian¡¯s evil energy was sealed. These three were, of course, Lin Mo, Li Yuan, and the girl whom Jiang Chen had met before. ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll spare your lives on account of what happened before. But if you dare tell anyone about this¡­ you know what will happen to you!¡± The three had been scared out of their wits. When they heard Jiang Chen was willing to spare their lives, they hurried to leave. ¡°Master, let them go just like that. I¡¯m afraid there will be trouble!¡±Mo Xingtian reminded them. ¡°Trouble? Aren¡¯t you the scapegoat? What trouble can there be?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Mo Xingtian couldn¡¯t help but twitch his lips.. Chapter 32 - The Gathering of Forces to Kill Jiang Chen! Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation It was only the release of a few disciples of the Xingjian sect. It didn¡¯t matter to Jiang Chen. After all, who would believe the words of a few minor figures? Even if they did, Jiang Chen had already thought of a way out. Jiang Chen had decided on this only after he had absolute confidence in himself. ¡°Master, the Sunset Miracle has been opened. Aren¡¯t We Going?¡±Mo Xingtian said respectfully. ¡°The Sunset Miracle? I¡¯m not interested,¡±Jiang Chen said indifferently. Jiang Chen wasn¡¯t interested in the Dark Lord¡¯s inheritance in the Sunset Miracle. If it weren¡¯t for the flame grass, he wouldn¡¯t have come here. However, the Dark Lord¡¯s inheritance was like a treasure to those who practiced demons! ¡°Mo Xingtian, go and pick a raging flame grass for me. Then hide and wait for my order!¡± ¡°Yes, Master!¡±Mo Xingtian turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared. The sunset miracle would surely attract other forces in the North Mountain City. After Mo Xingtian disappeared, Jiang Chen went to the top of an ancient tree and sat down cross-legged. The reason why Jiang Chen stayed here was, of course, to see which top masters there were in the North Mountain City. After all, if the genuine martial arts sects wanted to rise, they had to take the first step to establish themselves in the North Mountain City. So, it was necessary to understand the strength of these sects first. Two hours later, there was a sound of air being torn apart in the distance. A moment later, an old man in a white Daoist robe stood with his hands behind his back. He flew through the air and landed directly at the edge of the Sunset Miracle. The old man was the previous sect master of the Yan Sect, Yan Lin¡¯s grandfather, Yan Wu! His cultivation base was the same as Mo Xingtian¡¯s, both at the ninth level of the Dao realm. It did not take long for the old man to arrive at the position of the discontented corpse. When he saw the corpse of his son, Yan Jiuyang, the old man instantly erupted with endless anger. ¡°Who¡­ who killed my son!¡± ¡°Come out, come out now. This old man will definitely kill you with my own hands! Ah ~¡± Yan Wu threw his head back and let out a long howl, and streaks of blood appeared in his eyes! A moment later, a middle-aged man with a purple-gold crown on his head and a sharp sword on his feet came flying over. ¡°Yan Wu, What¡¯s going on? Who on earth did this?¡± The old man looked at the corpses of the Xingjian sect disciples, and his brows instantly darkened. ¡°When I came, this place was already filled with corpses¡­¡± ¡°Moreover, the demonic qi here is monstrous. It¡¯s definitely the work of the Devil¡¯s Doctrine¡¯s Blade!¡±Yan Wu said coldly. After a while, the pavilion master of the Martial Protection Pavilion, the alliance, and all the other sect leaders rushed over one after another! ¡°Damn it! You even dare to kill our martial protection pavilion¡¯s people. The Devil¡¯s doctrine won¡¯t let you off!¡± ¡°My¡­ all the members of the Alliance are dead, too! How dare you!¡± The people who had come were all leaders of the forces. Their cultivations were basically in the peak of the ninth level of the doctrine realm. Of course, the leader of the martial pavilion was the strongest. He seemed to be able to break the mirror. He was the strongest among them. To their surprise, Lin Mo and the other two, who had been let go by Jiang Chen, came back after a short while. ¡°Sect master, you¡¯re finally here. You must avenge the elders and the Apprentice Brothers!¡± Tears were in Lin Mo¡¯s eyes. He clenched his fists. ¡°What happened?¡±Jian Ning, the sect master of the Xingjian sect, frowned. He looked confused. Lin Mo said after a moment of hesitation. ¡°It was¡­ it was Jiang Chen, the sect master of the true martial arts sect. He was the one who instructed the grand elder of the demon school, Mo Xingtian, to do it!¡± ¡°In the end, all of them were killed by Mo Xingtian!¡± The woman next to Lin Mo continued with a trembling voice, ¡°He, he is a demon. A demon who kills people without batting an eye¡­¡± ¡°Apprentice brother, apprentice sister, Jiang Chen didn¡¯t want to kill them. If it weren¡¯t for the Vice Pavilion Master of the Martial Arts Pavilion¡­¡± Li Yun frowned slightly and told him what he was really thinking. As soon as Li Yuan finished speaking, his apprentice brother, Lin Mo, shouted at him. ¡°Li Yuan, are you crazy?¡± ¡°He killed so many of our apprentice brothers. How could you say such a thing?¡±Lin Mo said unhappily. ¡°Tell that old Guy Mo Xingtian?¡± ¡°Then where is Jiang Chen?¡±Jian Ning believed what his disciple had said. At the same time, when Yan Wu heard that Jiang Chen was the sect master of the true martial arts sect, he flew into a rage. The Yan sect had a grudge against the true martial arts sect. They had planted a seal on his grandson, and now they had killed his son. It could be said that at this moment, Yan Wu had already regarded the true martial arts sect as his sworn enemy. ¡°Are you looking for me? Everyone!¡± Suddenly, Jiang Chen jumped down from the ancient tree. Then he looked at Lin Mo and the other two and said, ¡°Do you remember what I Said? I¡¯ll keep my promise soon.¡± Jiang Chen had undoubtedly admitted that he had instructed Mo Xingtian to kill these people, but it was obvious that Jiang Chen didn¡¯t care much about it. ¡°Little thief, since you¡¯ve admitted it, give me your life!¡± Jian Ning flew into a rage when he heard Jiang Chen¡¯s words. A streak of genuine qi shot out like a sharp sword. ¡°After I kill you, I¡¯ll go and exterminate your genuine martial arts sect!¡± Yan Wu also launched an attack in an instant. His palm print was as dazzling as the sun, heading straight for Jiang Chen. However, when the two attacked, something unexpected happened¡­ Boom. Buzz The genuine Qi in everyone¡¯s bodies was sealed in an instant. Even the attacks launched by the two dissipated in an instant. Boom At that moment, several deafening booms came from the ground. Along with the booms, a huge crack appeared on the ground. In the crack, a huge palace slowly emerged from the ranks. ¡°Guys, the relic is open. The inhibition formation has been activated!¡± Jiang Chen had calculated the time when the Sunset Miracle would be activated. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have jumped out so foolishly with such a large group of top nine doctrine states. But now, the miracle had been activated and the inhibition formation had been activated. No matter how strong they were, their cultivation had been suppressed to the upper level of the spirit state. This was the result of having a good foundation. If they didn¡¯t have a good foundation, they might be suppressed to the middle or even lower level of the Spirit State! ¡°Guys, let¡¯s work together to kill Jiang Chen First!¡± ¡°He deserves to be killed!¡± Yan Wu looked gloomy. His state had been suppressed to the middle level of the spirit state. He looked at Jiang Chen with a hint of fear in his eyes. ¡°Kill me. I wonder if you have the strength now!¡± ¡°I¡¯m right here. You can try,¡±Jiang Chen said mockingly. Among the people present, if anyone hadn¡¯t been suppressed, it would be Jiang Chen, who had forty-two spiritual meridians and was already in the upper stage of the spirit state. Among them, Jiang Chen was the strongest! Chapter 34 - Practicing the Heavenly Tribulation! Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Master, the Elixir Pavilion and the formation pavilion live in the seventh peak and the sixth peak, respectively.¡± Ye Qi started to stutter. ¡°What¡­ What if they try to seize the territory of the true martial arts sect, master?¡± Jiang Chen couldn¡¯t help but shake his head and smile. Ye Qi was looking for him just for this? ¡°I know. Their actions can be considered as my acquiescence.¡± As far as Jiang Chen was concerned, these alchemists and formation masters would become the key to the true martial arts sect¡¯s disciples¡¯rise in the future. It was just two mountain peaks, so it wasn¡¯t a big deal. Moreover, the true martial arts sect¡¯s territory was so big, and it had so many mountain peaks. It wouldn¡¯t be a big deal to give them two mountain peaks. The only thing that Jiang Chen needed to consider was how to make these formation masters and alchemists stay in the true martial arts sect wholeheartedly. ¡°Elder Ye, I¡¯ll take care of the Elixir Pavilion and the Tactical Formation Pavilion.¡± ¡°But they¡¯re only half of the true martial arts sect at the moment. Their disciples need tactical formations and elixirs. Just let them go and get them.¡± Jiang Chen waved his hand casually. ¡°Yes, sect leader.¡±Ye Qi nodded and left respectfully. However, he had only taken two steps when Ye Qi seemed to have remembered something. He stopped in his tracks and said. ¡°Sect master, it¡¯s almost time for the Yan sect¡¯s people to attack the true martial arts sect. There are only four days left.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I didn¡¯t set up the lesser mysterious nine formations for nothing. Even ten more people from a sect like the Yan sect wouldn¡¯t be able to enter the true martial arts sect¡¯s territory.¡± Ye Qi couldn¡¯t help but frown when he heard this. Even though Jiang Chen had said so, he was still a little worried. However, although he was worried, he couldn¡¯t do anything with his strength. Then Ye Qi left the hall without saying anything more. ¡°Mo Xingtian!¡± Jiang Chen said in a low voice. Mo Xingtian, who was hiding in the dark, showed up instantly. ¡°Your Excellency, what can I do for You?¡±For some reason, Mo Xingtian had a bad feeling. ¡°Are you interested in the Dark Demon God¡¯s inheritance?¡±Jiang Chen said with a smile. Mo Xingtian was struck dumb when he heard this. There was a trace of disbelief in his eyes. After all, when the sunset miracle had been activated, Jiang Chen hadn¡¯t even bothered to go in. Where did the inheritance come from now? Could it be that Jiang Chen already has the Dark Demon God¡¯s inheritance? Mo Xingtian thought to himself. At this moment, Jiang Chen spoke again. ¡°The Dark Demon God¡¯s inheritance isn¡¯t like other demon methods¡¯methods. It focuses on the Yang demon method, which is extremely masculine.¡± Speaking of this, Jiang Chen couldn¡¯t help but take a glance at Mo Xingtian¡¯s evil energy and his invisible sins¡­ ¡°The Yang Demon method, which is extremely masculine and masculine, is impossible for you to successfully cultivate it with your current condition.¡± At this moment, Mo Xingtian was certain that Jiang Chen possessed the dark demon god¡¯s inheritance. However, when he heard that he couldn¡¯t practice it, Mo Xingtian became anxious, and he quickly asked Jiang Chen about it. ¡°Venerable Lord¡­ how should I practice it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a masculine method, and I must first dispel the darkness and sins you bear!¡± As he finished speaking, Jiang Chen waved his hand at Mo Xingtian, and said, ¡°Follow me to the back mountain, and I will find a way to help you!¡± Although Mo Xingtian was a little puzzled by Jiang Chen¡¯s method to wash away the darkness on his body, he still followed Jiang Chen without hesitation. After all, the inheritance of the dark gods and demons was too tempting for him. Before long, Jiang Chen and Mo Xingtian arrived at the back mountain of the true martial arts sect. ¡°Get Ready. It¡¯s about to start!¡±Jiang Chen said in a low voice. Mo Xingtian nodded seriously, but in the next second, he panicked when he saw what Jiang Chen was doing¡­ ¡­ Jiang Chen activated his genuine Qi and drew another talisman. It was none other than the one he had used to trigger the heavenly tribulation the last time! ¡°Your Excellency, you¡­ You Want to trigger the Heavenly Tribulation?¡±Mo Xingtian knelt on one knee. He looked nervous, thinking he had done something wrong. Jiang Chen couldn¡¯t help but smile when he saw Mo Xingtian¡¯s flustered look. ¡°The heavenly tribulation is extremely strong and Yang. You should know the use of it ¡°The way I can help you is to use the heavenly tribulation to help you get rid of the darkness in your body. That way, you can practice the Dark Demon God¡¯s inheritance ¡°However, the prerequisite for practicing is whether you can resist the Heavenly Tribulation!¡± Jiang Chen held the talisman in his hand and said indifferently. ¡°Your Excellency, can I refuse?¡± ¡°Can I refuse the inheritance?¡±Mo Xingtian looked wronged, and his body couldn¡¯t help but tremble. The heavenly tribulation was like a mental demon to Mo Xingtian. Once he was baptized by the heavenly tribulation, it was very likely that he wouldn¡¯t be able to endure it and die directly! However, since Jiang Chen had already made up his mind, there was still a chance for him to refuse. ¡°It¡¯s just a mere heavenly tribulation. Don¡¯t worry about it!¡±Jiang Chen said mockingly. As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen directly activated the talisman floating in his hand. Buzz The originally clear sky was instantly covered by a layer of dark clouds. Could it be that purple lightning had also exploded from the dark clouds. In just a breath¡¯s time, the heavenly tribulation formed and locked onto Mo Xingtian. The purple lightning bolts that were as thick as a bucket directly struck down. ¡°No!¡±Mo Xingtian cried out in surprise and immediately ran away from the tyrannical lightning bolts. However, with the speed of the heavenly tribulation, how could he escape. Looking at the terrifying heavenly tribulation that was right in front of him, Mo Xingtian felt despair. It was as if he could already predict his own death. Boom! The lightning struck. Mo Xingtian closed his eyes in despair! One second¡­ Two seconds¡­ Mo Xingtian suddenly realized the heavenly tribulation didn¡¯t strike him. He was fine. So he looked directly at Jiang Chen. He felt like he hadn¡¯t been struck by the Lightning. It had something to do with Jiang Chen. As expected, when he looked at Jiang Chen, he saw the Purple Lightning was still shining on him. ¡°Your honor¡­ What are you doing?¡±Mo Xingtian looked at Jiang Chen in horror. He had signed a master-servant contract with Jiang Chen. If Jiang Chen died, he would die with him. How could Jiang Chen, who was in the upper state of the spirit state, resist the power of the Heavenly Tribulation! ¡°Your honor, don¡¯t take things too hard!¡±Mo Xingtian tried to persuade him in horror. Jiang Chen looked over in confusion. ¡°Take things too hard?¡± ¡°I¡¯m practicing. What do you mean by taking things too hard?¡± Then Jiang Chen stopped talking. He focused his mind quickly and started to operate the endless formula. Boom Boom Then Thunder struck Jiang Chen One after another. Purple arcs of lightning kept circling around his body¡­ Thunder represented the power of the heavenly tribulation. The more powerful it was, the more beneficial it would be for Jiang Chen¡¯s practice. Mo Xingtian, who was standing beside him, was shocked by this scene. Practicing with the heavenly tribulation? A superior spirit state was practicing with the heavenly tribulation! Even though he was in the peak of the ninth level of the doctrine state, Mo Xingtian could feel it. If he was hit by the Lightning, he would be either dead or injured. He would be either dead or injured! Jiang Chen, on the other hand, was like a rock under the baptism of the heavenly tribulation. No matter how the Lightning struck him, he wasn¡¯t hurt at all! As time went on, the energy emitted by Jiang Chen became stronger and stronger. It seemed like blood-red light was condensing in his body. This was the sign of condensing essence blood! Chapter 35 - Mo Xingtian’s Scream! Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Since ancient times, no one in the Red Sun continent had dared to practice with lightning. Jiang Chen, who was enjoying the baptism of lightning, had completely changed Mo Xingtian¡¯s worldview! This is definitely not a simple upper-level spirit state cultivator. He must have a great secret¡­ Mo Xingtian thought to himself. Mo Xingtian was even a little happy. He thought it would be a good choice to follow Jiang Chen, and it would also be an opportunity that he could only come across by chance! At this moment, Jiang Chen¡¯s whole body was surrounded by purple lightning arcs. While he was circulating the endless formula, the genuine Qi in his body suddenly turned into a vortex, absorbing the power of the Lightning rapidly! His essence, Qi, spirit, internal organs, and physical strength were growing rapidly. In the center of his heart, there seemed to be a drop of bright red essence blood shining. Time passed. Two hours passed quickly. When Jiang Chen felt a faint pain in his body, a floating talisman in his hand disappeared. ¡°Phew. I finally broke the mirror. I¡¯ve reached the lower state of the Physical State!¡± Jiang Chen exhaled slowly. Then he closed his eyes and started to observe the changes in his body. There was a drop of blood in his heart. It was the essence blood that Jiang Chen had condensed in the past two hours. The condensed essence blood could help one¡¯s body become stronger. In ordinary practice methods, nine drops of essence blood could help one achieve the upper state of the physical state. It was completely different. Jiang Chen had determined it to be the most powerful method in the physical state, but it needed to condense 36 drops of essence blood. Although it was difficult to practice such a crazy method, Jiang Chen could imagine how powerful his physical body would be when he condensed 36 drops of essence blood. In his previous life, if Jiang Chen¡¯s physical body was as powerful as his cultivation, he wouldn¡¯t be so passive when he was attacked by the 24 Holy Kings. He had been reborn. Jiang Chen had to practice to the peak of each state! By then, when he returned to the nine heavens, the gods and demons of the universe would be completely under his control! ¡°Mo Xingtian, how do you feel?¡±Jiang Chen asked, confused. Mo Xingtian glanced at his body subconsciously. Then he shook his head at Jiang Chen and said, ¡°I don¡¯t feel anything¡­¡± ¡°Same as before?¡± Jiang Chen absorbed all the heavenly tribulations that had struck him. Not a single bolt of lightning struck Mo Xingtian. Throughout the whole process, the lightning tribulation that had been prepared for Mo Xingtian was like a spectator watching Jiang Chen being struck by lightning¡­ ¡°Eh¡­¡±Jiang Chen realized what had happened when he heard this. He had been so focused on practicing that he had forgotten to save some for Mo Xingtian. ¡°How about this? I¡¯ll save some for you next time. I¡¯ll use it to get rid of the dark energy in your body!¡±Jiang Chen said with a smile. ¡°Um¡­ Your Excellency, can I not take it?¡± At that moment, Mo Xingtian felt like he had been speaking the truth. If only he had felt something! ¡°You don¡¯t want it?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t want it, you can practice it. It¡¯s a deal. Next time, I¡¯ll save some heavenly tribulation for you.¡± Jiang Chen nodded firmly and said. Seeing Jiang Chen¡¯s firm attitude, Mo Xingtian knew he would definitely do that if Jiang Chen thought of it next time. Since he couldn¡¯t refuse, he would accept it. ¡°Your Excellency, can you give me less? You still have a lot of practice, don¡¯t you? Don¡¯t let me delay your practice.¡± Mo Xingtian rubbed his hands together and said flatteringly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. It¡¯s just a few heavenly tribulations. I Won¡¯t give you more.¡± Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and said snappily. After all, it was much more difficult for him in the body refining state than the others. Besides, the heavenly tribulations weren¡¯t infinite. He didn¡¯t have enough. It would be a joke to give him more! If he had tribulation clouds all the time, Jiang Chen would be able to practice much faster. ¡°Alright, take a rest. We¡¯ll continue later!¡± Then Jiang Chen sat cross-legged and adjusted his energy. Mo Xingtian couldn¡¯t help but twitch his lips when he heard Jiang Chen say to continue. He had just been struck, so he had to rest for a few days. How could he continue¡­ Half a day later, Jiang Chen, who had been adjusting his energy, recovered to his peak state. Then he drew a talisman in the air again. Driven by genuine qi, the tribulation clouds gathered again, and lightning appeared again. Boom Boom This time, Jiang Chen didn¡¯t forget to give a bolt of lightning to Mo Xingtian. For a while, his screams kept echoing in the field. Just one bolt of lightning had tortured him into a mess. Jiang Chen glanced at Mo Xingtian indifferently. It seemed he had reached his limit. He didn¡¯t give him any more lightning. Otherwise, if he was killed, where would jiang Chen find someone who could trigger the heavenly tribulation. At the same time, in the true martial arts sect. ¡°What¡¯s going on in the back mountain? Why is the Lightning striking all the time? And there are even screams coming from it. It¡¯s so scary!¡± ¡°This isn¡¯t ordinary lightning. Why does it feel like someone is transcending the tribulation?¡± In the true martial arts sect, the disciples looked up at the tribulation clouds in the sky. They didn¡¯t know how many lightning bolts had struck in the past day, especially the screams. They sounded extremely scary. Several hours later, the third heavenly tribulation came again. As expected, the miserable shriek was heard again. ¡­ In the end, after an unknown amount of time, Jiang Chen walked out of the back mountain with his wounded body. The people of the Elixir Pavilion and the formation pavilion gathered around him when they saw the injured Jiang Chen. ¡°Master, what happened to you? Are You Okay?¡± ¡°Are you the one transcending the tribulation in the back mountain?¡± ¡°Sect master, what happened to you?¡± ¡°Nothing serious.¡±Jiang Chen waved his hand, indicating that he didn¡¯t need their help. Boom At this moment, a loud explosion came from outside the mountain gate. At the same time, even the formation of lesser mystery nine, which covered the whole true martial arts sect, trembled slightly. ¡°Eh?¡± ¡°The fluctuation of the formation. Someone is forcefully breaking the formation!¡± Jiang Chen frowned when he heard this. who was the person who was still forcefully breaking the formation at this time? Jiang Chen vaguely felt that the vibration of the formation of lesser mysterious nine was just the beginning, and it might not be the end. However, Jiang Chen was quite confident in the formation¡¯s sturdiness. As long as the formation of lesser mysterious nine was present, the true martial arts sect would be like an iron bucket, and it would be indestructible. If the nine formation of lesser mystery was to be broken, it would be impossible for it to be broken unless several doctrine realm cultivators attacked at the same time, regardless of the cost. However, just as Jiang Chen was thinking about this, the light shield of the nine formation of lesser mystery, which enveloped the true martial arts sect, shattered in an instant, and dissipated into the world! When the formation masters of the formation pavilion saw this scene, they were dumbfounded. ¡°What¡­ What is going on? How did the formation of lesser mystic nine shatter?¡± ¡°Impossible.. How did it shatter?¡± Chapter 36 - Bai Hongyun and Bai Fengyu Arrives! Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation At that moment, the group of Tactical Formation Masters looked at the broken formation of lesser mystic nine in a daze. Even Jiang Chen himself was confused by what he had seen. He was wondering if there was something wrong with his tactical formation, which was why it was so weak. It had been broken in just a short while. However, when Jiang Chen saw the two figures, he was relieved. It proved that his tactical formation wasn¡¯t weak. The two figures were the white-haired old man and the beautiful girl Jiang Chen had met in the Elixir Pavilion. It was the old man who had broken Jiang Chen¡¯s tactical formation. He had thought the old man was extraordinary when he had first seen him. Jiang Chen didn¡¯t find it strange that the old man had broken his minor mystery nine tactical formation. After all, the old man was more powerful than the doctrine state. However, Jiang Chen felt a bit regretful. He had used some cheap materials to set up the tactical formation. Otherwise, he would have wanted to see if the old man could break the all-powerful minor mystery nine tactical formation. The old man and the young girl slowly landed beside Jiang Chen. This time, the old man and the young girl didn¡¯t try to hide their faces. Jiang Chen was quite calm about it. However, the disciples of the formation pavilion, the Elixir Pavilion, and the true martial arts sect were all stunned when they saw the young girl¡¯s face. ¡°Fellow Daoist, how many days¡­¡± The old man, who had wanted to ask Jiang Chen about the past few days, stopped talking when he saw Jiang Chen, who was covered in wounds, and changed his greeting. ¡°Fellow Daoist, did you fight with someone? Why are you so badly injured?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing serious. It¡¯s just a superficial wound.¡± Jiang Chen replied calmly. Then he extended a hand to the old man and said. ¡°I¡¯ll pay for it!¡±Jiang Chen said, speechless. ¡°Pay for it?¡± ¡°Pay for what?¡± Bai Hongyun and Bai Fengyu were dumbfounded. They looked at his extended hand in a daze. They had no idea what was going on. ¡°So be it. He even destroyed our sect-protecting formation. Don¡¯t you want to pay for it?¡± Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice. ¡°Materials, labor, formation-setting, time-consuming, and other miscellaneous expenses. It¡¯ll cost at least six thousand top-grade spirit stones.¡± At this moment, Ye Qi sneaked up to Jiang Chen and whispered into his ear. ¡°Sect master, this old man broke our sect-protecting formation. He must be very powerful. I Can¡¯t beat him!¡± ¡°Are we really going to ask him to pay?¡± Ye Qi kept winking at Jiang Chen in case he didn¡¯t understand. Of course, Jiang Chen Saw Ye Qi, but he ignored him. Jiang Chen knew Bai Hongyun¡¯s purpose very well. He wanted him to help Bai fengyu turn evil. If he didn¡¯t take advantage of Bai Hongyun now, he wouldn¡¯t know when he would be able to earn more spiritual stones. At this moment, Bai Hongyun nodded thoughtfully and said. ¡°So it was the light shield. I¡¯m so sorry. I didn¡¯t pay much attention to it when I came here. I accidentally broke it.¡± ¡°How about this? This is my interspatial ring. There are thirty thousand top-grade spiritual stones in it. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s enough. I¡¯ll take it as an apology.¡± As he spoke, Bai Hongyun took out an interspatial ring and presented it to Jiang Chen. However, when Bai Hongyun took out the interspatial ring, the crowd was shocked. ¡°Thirty thousand¡­ Top-grade spirit stones. That¡¯s a big deal!¡± ¡°Holy Sh * T. Thirty Thousand. Am I hallucinating? I¡¯ve never seen so many spirit stones in my life, and they¡¯re top-grade spirit stones.¡± Jiang Chen felt like he had suffered a great loss after hearing Bai Hongyun¡¯s words. If he had known Bai Hongyun was so rich, he would have raised the price a little higher. This way, he could help the true martial arts sect rise faster. Bai Hongyun looked at Jiang Chen, who hadn¡¯t said anything. He couldn¡¯t help but feel a little guilty, so he hurried to add. ¡°If it¡¯s not enough, I¡¯ll ask someone to give you three million top-grade spirit stones!¡± ¡°Is it enough?¡±Bai Hongyun asked carefully. ¡°¡­¡±Jiang Chen regretted it again. This old man was rich! If he had known earlier, he would have offered a higher price¡­ However, Jiang Chen wasn¡¯t a shameless person. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that the school couldn¡¯t develop without spirit stones, he wouldn¡¯t have taken a fancy to it. Besides, he had already accepted the thirty thousand spirit stones, and he had promised to give him another three million spirit stones. That was enough. Moreover, the interspatial ring that Bai Hongyun had was already very valuable, and according to Jiang Chen¡¯s conjecture, it was already enough for him to use it. In the Northern Mountain City¡¯s area, the number of people who could use an interspatial ring could be counted on one hand. Jiang Chen put away the interspatial ring that Bai Hongyun had given him, and he asked calmly. ¡°Have you already made a decision?¡± ¡°Fellow Daoist, we have already made a decision, and it¡¯s just that we were delayed by some matters.¡± Bai Hongyun continued, ¡°Fellow Daoist, about my granddaughter qingyu¡­¡± ¡°Did you agree to the condition I mentioned?¡± Bai Hongyun couldn¡¯t help but glance at his granddaughter, who was beside him. He couldn¡¯t help but hesitate. ¡°Fellow Daoist, can you tell me the truth? is it really as simple as staying by your side?¡± It was obvious that Bai Hongyun wanted to ask Jiang Chen for the last time, so that he could make a final decision. ¡°I don¡¯t have the hobby of being a maid.¡± ¡°But you¡¯re quite talented. Just be my apprentice!¡±Jiang Chen frowned and thought for a while, then told him his purpose. After all, there was no need to hide such a thing. He would tell them sooner or later. ¡°What? Your Apprentice?¡±Bai Hongyun looked at Jiang Chen in surprise. He was even a little speechless. Bai Hongyun wasn¡¯t the kind of person who would hide anything. He told him what he was thinking. ¡°Fellow Daoist, what can you teach Xiao Yu about her talent? Do you know her identity?¡± There was a first-class sect called the White Emperor City on the Red Sun continent. The White Emperor City was one of the most powerful forces after a first-class sect. There were countless almighty geniuses among them. There were also countless powerful people The city lord of the White Emperor City was Bai Hongyun¡¯s son and Bai Fengyu¡¯s father. ¡°I don¡¯t care where you come from. Of course, what I taught her can¡¯t be taught by others.¡± ¡°As for whether you agree or not, it¡¯s up to you! I¡¯m going to change.¡± Then Jiang Chen dragged his wounded body and went straight to his room. Bai Hongyun hadn¡¯t expected such a result. He hesitated for a moment. If he really agreed, if word got out that the daughter of the White Emperor City had become a disciple of a ninth-rate sect, it would be too embarrassing. If he didn¡¯t agree, he would lose his life. In the end, they had to choose between the two. Shame is nothing compared to losing your life! Chapter 37 - Sacred body of Extreme Yin, Transformation of Yin! Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Just like that, Bai Hongyun and Bai Fengyu waited for Jiang Chen in the great hall for more than two hours. Then he walked out slowly. He was dressed in a white Taoist robe. His facial features were well-defined, and his eyes were like stars. Together with Jiang Chen¡¯s temperament, which had been as calm as water for thousands of years, he looked nothing like the wounded man he had been. ¡°Fellow Daoist, I¡¯ve asked my granddaughter. We agree.¡± Seeing Jiang Chen come out, Bai Hongyun went up to him first. ¡°Okay. Then let¡¯s sign the master-disciple contract. Otherwise, when I cure her, she¡¯ll run away.¡± Not long after Bai Hongyun agreed, he tried to sign the contract. ¡°Come with me. We can¡¯t waste any more time. You Don¡¯t have much time.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen took Bai Fengyu directly to the back palace. Bai Fengyu had been following Jiang Chen quietly along the way. She didn¡¯t say a word. She was unusually calm. When they arrived at the back palace, Jiang Chen helped her remove her yin and asked her to take off her clothes, Bai Fengyu lost her composure instantly. ¡°What Are You Waiting For? Are you going to remove your Yin?¡±Looking at Bai Fengyu, who was standing there in a daze, Jiang Chen reminded her. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to dissolve your Yin? Why are you taking off your clothes?¡± Bai Fengyu was obviously uncomfortable. She even puffed up her cheeks in anger. ¡°Whew! Whatever. I Can¡¯t cure you if you don¡¯t take off your clothes.¡± Jiang Chen rolled his eyes at her helplessly. It was obvious that she thought he was the kind of person who would take advantage of others! If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he was going to dissolve his yin, he wouldn¡¯t have bothered to take her as a disciple. Bai Fengyu lost her temper on the spot when she saw how indifferent Jiang Chen was. She didn¡¯t know how to refute him. After all, she didn¡¯t know if the Yin transformation was really going to happen. If it was true, wouldn¡¯t she be fighting against her own life if she didn¡¯t want to? ¡°Huh, if you take advantage of me, I won¡¯t let you off even if we have an attempted contract.¡± Bai Feng blushed. She took off her clothes slowly, revealing her flawless body. ¡°To transform into Yin, you need to find the correct location of your yin meridians. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that I can¡¯t do it with my current cultivation and can only look for them with my naked eyes, no one would want to see your body.¡± Jiang Chen said with a straight face. ¡°You Bastard!¡± Bai Fengyu was so angry that her face turned black. He had seen her naked, but she still said that. It was so hurtful. ¡°Huh, I don¡¯t want to talk to you. Help me transform into Yin!¡±Bai Fengyu said in a bad mood. A few minutes later¡­ ¡°Whew! I finally found it. It took me a lot of effort.¡± Jiang Chen took a light breath. Genuine Qi gathered at the tip of his finger and gathered into a slender needle. He stabbed it into it without hesitation. ¡°¡­¡± Bai fengyu frowned slightly. She felt her energy was draining at an amazing speed. In just a few breaths, her soul seemed to have been hit hard. After a while, an extremely cold feeling rose up on Bai Fengyu¡¯s snow-white skin. The air around her seemed to be frozen. Even Jiang Chen couldn¡¯t resist this cold feeling. He couldn¡¯t help but tremble. ¡°Bai Fengyu, don¡¯t move, or all my efforts will go to waste!¡± ¡°Okay.¡±Bai fengyu nodded, pursing her lips. She was relieved to see Jiang Chen in the last few minutes. Bai Fengyu didn¡¯t see any desire or greed in his eyes. He was only focusing on helping her dissolve her yin. After a while, Jiang Chen felt the temperature in Bai Fengyu¡¯s body had stopped dropping. The Genuine Qi at his fingertips was injected into his body one after another. After the genuine Qi entered Bai Fengyu¡¯s body, it went through his blood and acupoints to check again and again. In the end, it all gathered in her yin meridians. Bai Fengyu could clearly feel that the genuine Qi Jiang Chen had injected into her seemed to have a strange and special energy. When it was wandering in her body, it seemed to be helping her to remove the source of the cold Qi in her body. Time passed. In the blink of an eye, six hours had passed. In the back hall, Jiang Chen wiped the sweat off his forehead. His tense expression relaxed instantly. ¡°Are you done?¡±Bai Fengyu asked softly. ¡°Of course. There¡¯s nothing I can¡¯t solve.¡± Then Jiang Chen frowned and said, ¡°Are you still standing there? Aren¡¯t you going to put on your clothes?¡± Bai fengyu, who had changed her opinion of Jiang Chen, blushed when she heard Jiang Chen¡¯s words. ¡°Ah! Why didn¡¯t you tell me you were done? !¡± Bai Fengyu pouted. She put on her clothes in a hurry. Jiang Chen didn¡¯t bother to look at her. He left the back hall and walked into the Great Hall. As soon as Jiang Chen left the door of the back hall, Bai Hongyun hurried up and asked him worriedly, ¡°What happened?¡±. ¡°Fellow Daoist, how is it?¡±Bai Hongyun took Jiang Chen¡¯s hand and looked at him expectantly. ¡°Well, it¡¯s not a problem. It¡¯s already healed.¡± Jiang Chen¡¯s brows furrowed as soon as he finished speaking. He spoke with a displeased expression, ¡°A bunch of annoying things!¡± Jiang Chen could clearly sense that a large group of people had gathered outside the true martial arts sect¡¯s mountain gate. Those who came at this time must be from the Yan sect. Bai Hongyun, who was standing beside Jiang Chen, said hurriedly before he left. ¡°Fellow Daoist, let me help you clean up this trash!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Hongyun turned into an afterimage and disappeared from where he was. A few breaths later, Bai Hongyun appeared in the hall again. ¡°Fellow Daoist, the fly has already killed it for you,¡±Bai Hongyun said calmly. ¡°Okay!¡±Jiang Chen nodded indifferently. Bai Fengyu walked out of the back hall in a short while, but the shyness on her face hadn¡¯t faded. After all, Jiang Chen had seen all of his body. It was hard for a girl to forget such things. ¡°Xiaoyu, how are you?¡±Bai Hongyun asked eagerly. ¡°Grandpa, everything is fine. The cold air has disappeared. However, it seems like a strange power has appeared in my body,¡±Bai Fengyu said thoughtfully. Jiang Chen explained to her in a low voice. ¡°Don¡¯t panic. This is the power contained in the sacred lunar body. Stay with me from now on. I¡¯ll teach you how to explore this sacred lunar body.¡± Suddenly, Jiang Chen¡¯s aura changed. Bai Hongyun and Bai Fengyu were surprised. They didn¡¯t know if it was just their imagination, but Jiang Chen¡¯s eyes seemed to be filled with vicissitudes of life. Bai Hongyun couldn¡¯t help but be confused. What had the youngster in front of her experienced to be so vicissitudes of life.. Chapter 38 - The Cultivation of the Physical Realm. Was It So Difficult? Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation ¡°Fellow Daoist, I¡¯ve heard of the true martial arts sect¡¯s great reputation, but it¡¯s no longer as glorious as before. Why don¡¯t we move to the White Emperor City?¡±Bai Hongyun asked tentatively. Jiang Chen¡¯s mouth twitched when he heard this. He couldn¡¯t help but sigh emotionally, if it weren¡¯t for these grandsons, the true martial arts sect wouldn¡¯t have ended up like this ¡°No need.¡±Jiang Chen waved his hand. After he rejected Bai Hongyun, he continued, ¡°Although it¡¯s down and out, I will bring it back from the dead, and restore it to its original state!¡± Jiang Chen was confident in restoring the true martial arts sect, but Bai Hongyun, who was beside him, just nodded faintly when he heard this, but he didn¡¯t believe it in his heart. After all, it wasn¡¯t like he didn¡¯t know about the true martial arts sect from 5,000 years ago. It was the most powerful existence in the entire scarlet sun continent. If the true martial arts sect from 5,000 years ago was still around, then the martial arts pavilion, which was the current overlord of the Scarlet Sun Continent, wouldn¡¯t even dare to utter a fart. However, the true martial arts sect from 5,000 years ago couldn¡¯t appear anymore¡­ ¡°Right, remember to pay the rent and tuition fees,¡±Jiang Chen said. Bai Hongyun and Bai Fengyu were stunned by his words. They held their breath for a long time, and didn¡¯t say a word. ¡°How much¡­¡±Bai Hongyun¡¯s mouth twitched. ¡°Not much. It¡¯s only 10,000 top-grade spirit stones a day. I¡¯ll give you a discount. It¡¯ll be 1,000,000 Top-grade Spirit Stones!¡±Jiang Chen calculated thoughtfully. Jiang Chen had thought Bai Hongyun would haggle over the price, but he hadn¡¯t expected him to agree so quickly. ¡°No problem. I¡¯ll have someone send it over in a few days,¡±Bai Hongyun said calmly. Seeing him agree so readily, Jiang Chen suddenly felt like he had said too little! ¡°You guys stay here. I have to practice.¡± Then Jiang Chen went to the place where he practiced in the back mountain again. Mo Xingtian, who was sitting cross-legged in the back mountain, started to tremble involuntarily when he saw Jiang Chen coming to the back mountain again. ¡°Your honor, you just finished practicing. You¡¯re not here to practice again, are you?¡±Mo Xingtian said with an odd expression. ¡°Of course I¡¯m practicing. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have come to see you,¡±Jiang Chen said in a bad mood. It was over¡­ Hearing Jiang Chen¡¯s answer, Mo Xingtian suddenly felt hopeless. He had just come back to his senses after being struck by lightning, and now he was going to be struck again! He had no choice but to accept it. Mo Xingtian had to gather all his genuine QI and prepare to be struck by lightning. Soon, Jiang Chen drew his talisman again¡­ Tribulation Clouds. The Lightning was ready. Boom! Boom! On the back mountain, the thunder and screams that had been exploding all day echoed in the whole mountain again. This time, some people finally couldn¡¯t take it anymore. They all walked towards the back mountain. When they fixed their eyes on Jiang Chen, who was bathing in the purple lightning, they couldn¡¯t stay calm anymore. ¡°I told you it was a heavenly tribulation!¡± ¡°Holy Sh * t. a lower-level body state using a heavenly tribulation to refine his body?¡± ¡°Can anyone tell me I¡¯m Dreaming? A lower-level body state using a heavenly tribulation to refine his body is so surreal!¡± What they saw completely changed their worldview. They couldn¡¯t imagine how strong a lower-level body state had to be to use the heavenly tribulation¡¯s lightning to refine his body. Even a dao state couldn¡¯t withstand such a terrifying heavenly tribulation. At the same time, Bai Hongyun and Bai Fengyu were also attracted by the Heavenly Tribulation¡¯s commotion. They could not help but come forward to take a look. However, when they took a look, Bai Hongyun was also dumbfounded. ¡°Grandfather, his cultivation base is so low. How could he attract the heavenly tribulation?¡±Bai fengyu blinked, her beautiful eyes filled with doubt. ¡°Little Yu, remember grandfather¡¯s words. In the future, if he asks you to use this lightning to cultivate, you must not agree¡­¡± Bai Fengyu was still confused. She didn¡¯t understand what Bai Hongyun meant, but she still nodded obediently. Time passed. Jiang Chen practiced for the whole day. The tribulation clouds, the Thunder, and Mo Xingtian¡¯s screams lasted for the whole day. Jiang Chen didn¡¯t stop practicing until he ran out of his last bit of energy and his body couldn¡¯t withstand the thunder. At this moment, Jiang Chen was covered in scarlet blood, and there wasn¡¯t a single piece of flesh on his body. This scene happened to be witnessed by the alchemists, formation masters, and disciples of the true martial arts sect. ¡°Quick, the sect master is injured.¡± ¡°Master, Are You Alright? Quick, quick, prepare elixirs.¡± When the group of people saw Jiang Chen lying on the ground after finishing his practice, they rushed over like crazy. Among them, the alchemists and tactical formation masters were the fastest ones¡­ After all, they had come to the true martial arts sect for Jiang Chen. If anything happened to Jiang Chen, they would have wasted their time. ¡°Stop, stop, stop. Don¡¯t touch me. I¡¯m trying to adjust my breath!¡± ¡°Also, I¡¯m fine. Take your elixirs back immediately.¡± Lying on the ground, Jiang Chen looked speechlessly at the people who were anxiously taking out elixirs. ¡°Master, are you sure you¡¯re okay?¡± ¡°Master, you¡¯re hurt so badly. Are you sure you¡¯re okay?¡± The people showed distrust on their faces. It wasn¡¯t that they didn¡¯t want to believe Jiang Chen¡¯s words, but he looked really miserable. His spirit was weak, and not a single piece of his skin was intact. Before the group could react, the blood essence in Jiang Chen¡¯s heart suddenly emitted a bloody light. Ten seconds later, a terrifying energy came from Jiang Chen¡¯s body. He had achieved the middle-level of the physical state! ¡°This¡­ this is too fast.¡± ¡°He just broke through to the lower-level of the physical state not long ago, and he has already achieved the middle-level of the physical state?¡± Bai Hongyun also hurried over. He had witnessed Jiang Chen¡¯s breakthrough. ¡°Fellow Daoist, don¡¯t be too hasty when it comes to practicing,¡±Bai Hongyun reminded him. Jiang Chen didn¡¯t say anything. He just said with a faint smile. ¡°I¡¯m not too hasty when it comes to practicing. It¡¯s just that the way I practice is different from others.¡± ¡°They crawl, but I run. It¡¯s pretty much the same,¡±Jiang Chen said with a smile. He had recovered a lot after his breakthrough. He could stand up now. After standing up, Jiang Chen waved his hand at the crowd and said, ¡°All right, you can go back now!¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to continue practicing. It¡¯s hard for me to practice if you stay here!¡±Jiang Chen waved his hand to drive them away. ¡°Sect master, are you sure you don¡¯t want to take a rest?¡± ¡°Master, we have elixirs here. Don¡¯t you need them?¡± ¡°Yeah, master. These elixirs will be very useful for your recovery.¡± Jiang Chen seemed to be fed up with his advice. His face darkened, and he said unhappily. ¡°If you don¡¯t Leave Now, I¡¯ll Summon the Thunder Calamity. I¡¯ll give you one each!¡± Hearing that, the crowd swallowed their saliva. If they were hit once, they would lose their lives! After that, they left Jiang Chen¡¯s surroundings.. Chapter 39 - The True Martial Sect Was Under Siege! Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation Tribulation Clouds, thunder, and screams lasted for several days in the back of the mountain. They never stopped. The people of the true martial arts sect were shocked and incredulous at first, but in the end, they got used to it. Jiang Chen Zi, on the other hand, had given his life to practice, so his cultivation had soared. He had reached the upper state of the physical state. He had condensed eighteen drops of blood essence. Eighteen drops was twice as much as the upper state of the physical state. What was Scarier was that Jiang Chen¡¯s double wasn¡¯t as simple as one plus one. The more essence blood he condensed, the more time it took to condense one drop of essence blood, and the more difficult it was. Jiang Chen¡¯s physical body was now as stable as Mount Tai and indestructible! While he was practicing in the back mountain, Ye Qi¡¯s anxious voice reached Jiang Chen¡¯s ears. ¡°Sect master, something bad has happened!¡± Jiang Chen opened his eyes slowly and said to Ye Qi, who was nervous. ¡°What happened? Why Are You So Nervous?¡±Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°Sect master, there have been rumors going around that you¡¯ve killed all the strong practitioners of the Xingjian sect, the eight directions school, the alliance, and the Yan Sect.¡± ¡°It was the three kids who spread the rumors, wasn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°However, this matter is indeed true.¡±Jiang Chen smiled faintly, and it was obvious that he didn¡¯t take it to heart. ¡°Yes, sect master, it was the three kids of the Xingjian sect, and they are currently staying in the Martial Pavilion!¡±Ye Qi said with a worried expression. If the martial pavilion knew about this matter, and it was indeed Jiang Chen who killed these people, then the true martial arts sect would be in great danger. Therefore, Ye Qi was feeling very heavy at the moment. However, Jiang Chen didn¡¯t take it to heart. After all, Wu Mu, the Master of the Martial Arts Pavilion of the Sunnywood Town, was Jiang Chen¡¯s servant. If he couldn¡¯t even solve such a trivial matter, then what use would Jiang Chen have for him. ¡°Why are you panicking? I¡¯ll deal with this matter myself,¡±Jiang Chen said while adjusting his genuine qi. ¡°How has Jiang Yan Been These Days?¡± ¡°Sect master, your brother?¡± Ye Qi was a little surprised, but then he said confusedly. ¡°He¡¯s been practicing all this time, but his practicing speed is insane¡­¡± Jiang Chen nodded faintly when he heard him. Jiang Chen had asked someone to send him the raging flame grass he had picked from the sunset forest and refined it into an elixir. If Jiang Chen wasn¡¯t wrong, the ancient desolate sacred body would be activated soon. The ancient desolate sacred body¡¯s most powerful aspect was its physical body. ¡°Alright, you can leave First!¡± Just as Jiang Chen waved his hand at Ye Qi, the lesser mysterious nine formation started trembling again. ¡°Why is it trembling again?¡± Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and looked towards the mountain gate. As soon as he looked over, he saw a large group of people. Among them were the starsword sect, the eight directions school, and the alliance. Almost all the powerful forces that Jiang Chen had killed had gathered outside the mountain gate. ¡°These flies are really annoying, but there are quite a lot of doctrine realm cultivators.¡± Then Jiang Chen looked at ye qi and asked, ¡°By the way, is Bai Hongyun still there?¡± ¡°Sect master, she left yesterday. She said she went back to bring spirit stones for you,¡±Ye Qi said with a bitter smile. ¡°They¡¯re all here. It¡¯s not good if we don¡¯t go out to fight them. How about this¡­ inform Bai Fengyu and ask her to deal with these flies.¡± ¡°If he asks, just tell him it¡¯s my first sect mission for him.¡± Then Jiang Chen closed his eyes again and sat down cross-legged to mediate. Ye Qi had no choice but to go to Bai Fengyu¡¯s place. ¡­ ¡°A mission of the sect?¡±Bai Fengyu looked at Ye Qi suspiciously and said. ¡°Well, that¡¯s what the leader said. Miss Bai, I¡¯ll leave the people outside to you. I¡¯ll leave now.¡± Bai Fengyu snorted coldly as she watched Ye Qi leave in a hurry. However, she still made some preparations before heading to the mountain gate of the true martial sect. Before long, Bai Fengyu arrived outside the mountain gate. ¡°Haha, this trashy sect, the true martial sect, is it looking down on us? They actually sent a woman out to fight!¡± ¡°Yo, there¡¯s still such a beauty. Once we break through the true martial sect, you¡¯ll be mine!¡± Outside the mountain gate, a group of people could not help but curse when they saw Bai Fengyu coming out alone. Some of them even looked at Bai Fengyu with greed and desire in their eyes. ¡°Damn it, is this the Orthodox sect of the Northern Mountain City? Why does it feel like there¡¯s not much difference between them and the Devil Sect?¡±Bai Fengyu thought unhappily. ¡°Scram!¡± Looking at the eyes of this group of people, Bai Fengyu unceremoniously shouted out in anger. Along with Bai Fengyu¡¯s angry shout came the incomparably cold ice. In just an instant, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and a layer of ice instantly formed on the ground. However, this only caused this group of people to be slightly stunned, and they quickly recovered their senses. ¡°Haha, this chick is quite fierce, but I like you like this, Hehe!¡± ¡°Hmph, I Only Want Jiang Chen¡¯s life, and I want him to get out quickly!¡±The one star sword sect¡¯s elder¡¯s face was dark, and his aura seemed like it would erupt at any moment. ¡°Fengyu, I¡¯ll leave these scumbags to you to practice, and you have disturbed me, and I can¡¯t even practice properly!¡± At this moment, Jiang Chen¡¯s voice sounded in Bai Fengyu¡¯s mind. Hearing this, Bai Fengyu stomped on the ground subconsciously and said in a low voice. ¡°Huh, you have to let me do it. These detestable guys have pissed me off. I Won¡¯t let them off!¡± ¡°All of you, go to Hell!¡± Bai Fengyu¡¯s eyes lit up. A pure killing intent appeared in her eyes. On the back mountain, Jiang Chen couldn¡¯t help but smile when he sensed the killing intent. ¡°This girl is quite decisive.¡± ¡­ ¡°Huh! You¡¯re so arrogant. Don¡¯t blame me for Killing You!¡± ¡°Brothers, Go! Take her down!¡± A few monks took the lead and charged at Bai Fengyu. For a moment, the genuine Qi was torturing her, stirring up a fierce wind. Sword Light and fist prints came like a storm. ¡°Humph, you haven¡¯t even converted your true energy into spiritual energy, yet you still want to fight with me? You¡¯re courting death!¡±Bai Fengyu lightly shouted, and his fair and slender palm pushed forward horizontally. Boom! The power of the palm, along with the cold and frosty intent, instantly shattered everyone¡¯s attack! And after Zi Ah shattered these people¡¯s attacks, the power of Bai Fengyu¡¯s palm didn¡¯t decrease by much. In just a breath¡¯s time, the palm print crashed down and directly hit a group of cultivators. From the origin realm to the Dao realm, this was a huge transformation, and the most obvious transformation was the transformation of true Qi into spirit energy. However, the group of Dao cultivators in front of Bai Fengyu could not even transform their spirit energy, so how could they be his opponents. ¡°Quick, we are not his opponents, run!¡± ¡°Damn it, what happened to the Zhen Wu sect to have such powerful dao realm cultivators? Brothers, run! We are no match for them!¡± Chapter 40 - Danger Incoming! Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation The group of cultivators attacking the genuine force sect saw the situation wasn¡¯t good, so they immediately scattered and fled. Seeing this, Bai Fengyu was about to chase after them. ¡°Fengyu, don¡¯t chase after the enemy!¡±Jiang Chen¡¯s voice came again. ¡°Oh!¡± Bai Fengyu had no choice but to respond weakly. Then he disappeared, turned around, and returned to the mountain gate. At the same time, the group of cultivators who had escaped slowed down when they saw that Bai Fengyu did not chase after them. ¡°Damn it, our sects have seven or eight dao realm experts in total, yet we can¡¯t even block the might of a little girl¡¯s Palm!¡± ¡°This is simply a disgrace!¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t we receive any news that the true martial sect has such an expert?¡± At this moment, everyone¡¯s faces were filled with unwillingness. They had practiced for most of their lives, yet in the end, they still couldn¡¯t defeat a woman! ¡°Humph! Don¡¯t be unwilling. Let¡¯s leave quickly. If we catch up to them later, none of us will be able to escape!¡± ¡°Right, right. Our lives are more important. Let¡¯s leave quickly!¡± ¡­ At the same time, in the back mountain of the true martial arts sect. ¡°Master, you¡¯ve been suffering from lightning skin these past few days¡­ No¡­ you¡¯ve been practicing, and you haven¡¯t taught me anything.¡± Bai Fengyu looked resentful. She looked at Jiang Chen, who was trying to make peace. ¡°Oh, you want to learn something?¡± ¡°Then I can teach you whatever you want to learn,¡±Jiang Chen said casually. ¡°Master, I. . . I don¡¯t know what I should do. You¡¯re my master. You have to teach me!¡± ¡°Since you can¡¯t decide, I¡¯ll teach you when Bai Hongyun sends you the tuition fee!¡±Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders. Bai Fengyu was speechless. She stomped her foot on the spot when she heard Jiang Chen¡¯s words. Bai Fengyu couldn¡¯t imagine why Jiang Chen would love money so much. ¡°Huh, since you won¡¯t teach me, I¡¯ll pester you and Pester You Until You Pay Me,¡±Bai Fengyu thought to herself. As a practical person, she would do whatever she wanted. Bai Fengyu said coquettishly. ¡°My grandfather just returned to the White Emperor City. It Won¡¯t happen so soon. Master, you have to teach me!¡± ¡°No, I still have to practice. I¡¯ll teach you in a few days.¡± Then Jiang Chen drew a talisman in the air. The tribulation clouds gathered again. Boom Muffled Thunder rumbled. Bai Fengyu looked like a seven or eight-year-old kid. She ran away immediately, afraid of being struck by the Heavenly Tribulation. Boom! In the next few days, the back mountain of the true martial arts sect was covered by dark tribulation clouds at all times. In this way, ten days passed slowly! At this moment, thirty-five drops of essence blood had condensed in Jiang Chen¡¯s body. As long as he condensed the last drop of essence blood, he would be able to practice the endless casting to the peak of perfection. On the tenth day, when Jiang Chen was meditating on the peak of the mountain, Ye Qi arrived at the back mountain again. This time, Ye Qi was smiling. He was holding a red invitation card in his hand, as if he was here to tell Jiang Chen the good news. ¡°Sect master, this is an invitation card sent by Wu Wu to our true martial arts sect,¡±Ye Qi explained to Jiang Chen after he handed the invitation card to him respectfully. ¡°Sect master, the Azure Cloud Banquet will be here tomorrow. Besides, only some top-notch sects are qualified to get the Azure Cloud Banquet.¡± ¡°Eh?¡±Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion. ¡°Top-notch? You¡¯re so happy. You¡¯ve received it before, haven¡¯t you?¡± Ye Qi was smiling bitterly, trying to cover up his embarrassment. After all, he hadn¡¯t received it once when he was the sect master. ¡°I have to practice. Don¡¯t bother me with such things. Go There!¡± Jiang Chen had been preparing to condense the last drop of essence blood in the past few days. It wasn¡¯t an important thing, so he didn¡¯t want to go. Ye Qi was embarrassed when he heard this. ¡°Master, you have to get it right this time!¡± ¡°The Master of the Martial Arts Pavilion is going to upgrade the school level of the true martial arts sect, but they won¡¯t recognize me if I Go¡­¡± Ye Qi said excitedly. ¡°Oh, that was fast. It seems like Wu Mu is good at making trouble,¡±Jiang Chen thought to himself. Now, even if Jiang Chen didn¡¯t go, he had to go. ¡­ Early the next morning, Jiang Chen put on his clothes and took Bai Fengyu with him. Then Jiang Yan headed straight for the Sunnywood Town. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Sunnywood Town. However, as soon as they arrived at the entrance, it seemed like the Xingjian sect and the alliance had been waiting for them there for a long time. ¡°Jiang Chen, Stop!¡± ¡°I¡¯m an elder of the Xingjian sect. Did you kill our sect master?¡± ¡°And the eight directions school. Tell us what happened in the Sunset Forest.¡± ¡°Fengyu, get rid of these annoying flies!¡±Jiang Chen didn¡¯t even bother to look at them. Bai Fengyu had been angry about Jiang Chen chasing her away with the Thunder Tribulation Yesterday, but now with these annoying flies, she couldn¡¯t suppress her anger anymore. ¡°Huh, I let you run away last time. This time, none of you can run away!¡± Just as Bai Fengyu was about to attack, she suddenly sensed a powerful energy, which forced her to stop her attack. However, Bai Fengyu stayed where she was for a while, but she suddenly found that the extremely powerful energy hadn¡¯t appeared! Bai Fengyu suddenly had a bad feeling. She vaguely felt like the owner of this energy was going after Jiang Chen! Sure enough, when Bai Fengyu looked back, a masked man was already standing in opposition to Jiang Chen. ¡°He¡¯s in the upper state of the doctrine state and has transformed into spiritual energy. He¡¯s pretty strong!¡± Jiang Chen murmured to himself. The masked woman only took one look at Jiang Chen before she dashed toward him. ¡°Kill!¡± The masked woman didn¡¯t waste any more words. She released her spiritual energy directly and dashed toward Jiang Chen. The masked woman used her spiritual energy very well. In an instant, it turned into a sharp radiance of a sword. ¡°Nine words of the word of war ¡ª defend like a mountain!¡± Facing such a swift attack, Jiang Chen quickly launched his defense. The bell on his body manifested, and a mountain formed on the back of his hand! In the blink of an eye, the attack had arrived in front of Jiang Chen. Boom Although Jiang Chen had defended himself, his opponent was ridiculously strong. In the first attack, the bell in front of Jiang Chen shattered! When the second sword fell, the shadow of the mountain shattered! When the third sword radiance fell, it slid across Jiang Chen¡¯s neck. Jiang Chen had dodged it in time.. Otherwise, the top of his head would have been cut open by the sword!
