"I was almost scared to death when I realized that a door had appeared in my mind. Remembering how knowledgeable Master Cheng was, I quickly called him."
"Later, he told me that it was a divine door, and that I could only open it with my spirit, qi, and spirit after it had materialized and was pinpointed. I didn't think much at the time, and simply wanted to give it a try."
"In the end, I accidentally broke the door …"
Jiang He's explanation was very simple, and in just a few sentences, he pointed out the process of his ascension and the help Cheng Dongfeng had given him.
Still, he did a double take after he finished, and could not help asking Wang Hou, Dong Haichuan, and Yang Luchan, "Why do you look like that, gentlemen? Could I have broken the divine door in a wrong way? "
"There's no mistake!"
Dong Haichuan said, before breathing a long sigh and exclaiming in wonder, "The younger generation will surpass us in time!"
Yang Luchan was not good with words, but he nodded after hearing Dong Haichuan's words … even so, he did not know what to say.
Wang Hou laughed out loud in delight, saying, "Good kid, Jiang He. I really didn't misjudge you — it seems that sending you to the Diamond Sect's Secret Realm was the right decision."
"By the way, the Sword Realm of Mount Qingcheng would open at the end of October, and they promised me five slots …"
"Don't, don't …"
Jiang He quickly waved him off and cut him short, saying seriously, "How precious are the slots to the Secret Realm, Minister Wang? I think it should be given to those who need it! "
"Moreover, I've just left the Diamond Sect's Secret Realm. People would gossip if I went to Mount Qingcheng."
"Who would dare?"
Wang Hou sneered and said with absolute dominance, "The slots I wanted are not for others to tell me what to do."
Speechless, Jiang He smiled bitterly. "I'll tell the truth, Minister Wang … I really don't want to go to the Secret Realm. Everyone else is cultivating after they enter, and there's no one to talk to. It's too boring, Minister Wang!"
Jiang He realized that he had developed a phobia toward Secret Realms, probably because of the seven days of torment in the Diamond Sect's Womb Realm.
Before the gaping Wang Hou could say anything, Jiang He waved him off and said firmly, "Anyone can go to the Secret Realm of Mount Qingcheng. I'm not going even if I die!"
He raised his head and looked at the mountains in the distance.
The mountain that had been renamed "Golden Roc Mountain" stood out like a crane among chickens, piercing through the clouds … Originally, there were many mountains around Golden Roc Mountain that were three to four thousand meters above sea level, but almost all of them had collapsed in the battle a few days ago.
"The nest of the Golden-winged Roc is on that mountain?"
Jiang He's gaze twitched and he strode towards Mount Golden Roc, but Wang Hou stopped him just after he took a single step.
"No need to go, Jiang He!"
Wang Hou said lightly, "It's just two Feral Kings. So what if I kill them? Just ignore the Roc. If it dares to cause trouble again, I'll be the first one to test it out after I master my killer move!"
Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan spoke up as well, saying that if the Golden-Winged Great Roc dared to cause trouble, they would kill it on the spot.
Their intentions were clear. Jiang He …
He was very talented and would definitely become a pillar of support for China in the future. There was no need for him to take risks.
"No!"
Jiang He said seriously. "I've already said that I'm going to the Golden-Winged Great Roc's nest. Now that I'm at the foot of the mountain, wouldn't I be going back on my word if I don't go?"
"I, Jiang He, am a man of my word. Since I said I would cut down the Golden-Winged Great Roc, I will!"
That was when a piercing cry echoed from Mount Golden Roc, followed by a flash of golden light that whistled through the air from the peak of Mount Golden Roc.
The Golden-Winged Great Roc was hovering three kilometers away. Its entire body was golden as if it was forged from gold, and each of its feathers had a metallic texture.
Its wingspan was almost 200 meters, and it was not that large among Ferals. After all, the rank-seven Leopard Python that Jiang He had killed was around 200 meters long.
Hovering in the air, the Golden-Winged Great Roc slowly flapped its wings, kicking up small hurricanes around its body. Its eyes were golden as well, and golden radiance was bursting out of them. Its body was bursting with killing intent as it glared tightly at Jiang He.
Wang Hou took a step forward and stood in front of Jiang He, coldly saying, "Golden-Winged Great Roc, Jiang He was only rank-nine before. His killing of the Violet-Crowned Golden Eagle and the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle was within the rules!"
Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan stood in front of Jiang He as well, unfazed.
The Golden-Winged Great Roc barked furiously, "Do you take me for a fool, Wang Hou? He's rank-nine? He killed my wife and children eight days ago. Even if he had only reached divine-tier eight days ago, how could he have cultivated to such a level in just eight days? "
Wang Hou did a double take, and turned by reflex toward Jiang He …
Others aside.
Jiang He's aura was robust, and there was no hint of emptiness when he first ascended. In fact, he was no different from divine-tier elites who had ascended for years.
Not bothered to explain himself, Wang Hou promptly sneered again and said nothing, although his killing intent burst out of his body as he stared coldly at the Golden-Winged Great Roc.
"Wang Hou!"
The Golden-Winged Great Roc shrieked sharply, golden light erupting over its body as it bellowed, "You had personally promised to let me end this brat when the Dragoncroc Emperor showed up, and yet you're going back on your word today?"
"Do you really think that we daemons have no elites?"
Since the Golden-Winged Great Roc had mentioned the Dragoncroc Emperor and Wang Hou had indeed said those words back then, it mused to itself for a moment before saying, "Golden-Winged Great Roc, your two lovers are dead anyway. Why don't you just have Jiang He return the two eggs he took?"
But before the Golden-Winged Great Roc could say anything, Jiang He appeared a little embarrassed and said, "Well … the eggs are gone. I ate them."
Whoosh!
Wang Hou, Yang Luchan, and Dong Haichuan all turned toward Jiang He, while the Golden-Winged Great Roc's killing intent intensified. It reared its head and bellowed, causing distant glaciers to crack and avalanches to roll.
As a matter of fact …
Jiang He really did not eat the two eggs.
He was about to plant them since they were born from the union of a Feral Emperor and a Feral King. They would definitely be extraordinary, and how cool would it be to plant them as a mount?
"Minister Wang, why waste your breath on a vermin like that?"
Jiang He's aura suddenly changed and he strode up to Wang Hou, staring coldly at the Golden-Winged Great Roc, studying it from head to toe … and could not help drooling.
That fellow was quite handsome.
Its entire body was golden and very handsome, and it would definitely be delicious if he could cook it as a whole.
Jiang He discreetly wiped away his drool and laughed, "No need to rush, Golden-Winged Great Roc. I'll send you to reunite with your two lovers right now."
"No, Jiang He!"
Wang Hou was about to stop him, but Jiang He smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, Minister Wang. I never do things I'm not confident in."
He strode out, turning into a thunderbolt as he shot towards the peak of Mount Golden Roc. The Golden-Winged Great Roc cried out and dived up, giving chase.
"Damn it!"
Wang Hou cursed through clenched teeth, "The brat is too impulsive … the Golden-Winged Great Roc is no average Feral Emperor. Master Dong, Elder Luchan, attack at once if Jiang He is in danger, and do not hesitate … eh?"
Suddenly, Wang Hou's face dropped!
The sky had been clear for miles just a moment ago …
It was suddenly dark.
Dark clouds were rolling up in the skies, all of them gathering above Mount Golden Roc. Thunder rumbled amidst the clouds as veins of thick thunderbolts brewed.
Even Wang Hou felt his heart palpitate in the face of those thunderbolts!
That was when Jiang He was sent flying by the Golden-Winged Great Roc that had turned into a streak of golden light, crashing into the side of a mountain over a dozen miles away with a rumble.
And then …
The dark clouds and thunderbolts that had gathered above Mount Golden Roc actually chased after Jiang He, moving to the skies of the mountain over a dozen miles away.
Caw?
The Golden-Winged Great Roc, who was about to give chase, promptly looked up, a look of surprise flashing in its golden eyes.
What …
What was that?
