"Someone has become immortal?"
"It doesn't seem to be someone from those legacies, daemonic cultivators, Buddhist sects, or demonic sects …"
That divine mind vanished in a flash, as if it had never been there.
At the moment, Jiang He was focused on condensing his Heavenly Immortal Dao and did not notice what was happening outside at all. Of course, he did not have to care about what was happening outside.
Was he worried that the Holy Grounds of demonic sects and daemonic cultivators would ambush him?
No way.
With Hu Mei, a full-fledged Heavenly Immortal, those sects combined would not be enough to defeat her, at least for now.
After another half an hour or so …
Ooom!
The Dao presence around Jiang He's body stirred and his aura strengthened by several notches — he had successfully condensed his second Heavenly Immortal Dao.
Around him, the eyes of the hidden elites were almost popping out of their sockets.
That was especially true of the Mahayana elites of the eight factions who had a grudge against Jiang He. They were now gathered, with the one from the Unbounded Demon Sect growling, "Impossible, impossible! I've sent disciples into the mundane world to gather detailed information about Jiang He, and he is only in his twenties. He was not famous at all half a year ago, and only rose to prominence four months ago. At the time, his cultivation was mediocre and he only cultivated in martial arts!"
"Around three months ago, he condensed his Golden Pellet near the Taixu Sect's mountain archway at Mount Kunlun, weathering the Four Lesser Retributions of the Nine Retributions and slaying a lesser daemonic beast … three months after condensing his Golden Pellet, he has already condensed his Heavenly Immortal Dao. There is no such monster in this world, and it's completely unheard of. Even the reincarnations of superior beings in ancient times could not match his cultivation progress!"
Some of them were silent.
Then, someone suddenly mentioned the Black Bear Spirit of the Thousand Cavern Mountain.
The Mahayana elite of the Blood Demon Sect said somberly, "I've captured a daemonic cultivator of the Thousand Cavern Mountain. It was a descendant of the black bear, and I extracted its blood essence and cast a secret technique to find that the Black Bear Spirit is dead."
The expressions of the others did not change. It was obvious that this was within their expectations.
The one from the Unbounded Demon Sect took a long look at the Mahayana elite of the Blood Demon Sect and smiled, "It seems that you have not only learned about the Black Bear Spirit's death through a secret technique, Brother, but also divined the specific location of his death … if that's the case, every treasure in the Thousand Cavern Mountain's vault is in the Blood Demon Sect's hands?"
"Fellow Daoist, don't speak nonsense. This secret technique has a flaw, and it can't be that accurate."
Even as they conversed, Jiang He's third Heavenly Immortal Dao materialized and his aura expanded once more. The Mahayana elites who had finally calmed their Daoist hearts almost cursed.
Most Mahayana cultivators who had thousands of years of foundation could only condense one Heavenly Immortal Law after ascending to immortality. Even prodigies with deep foundations could condense two or three Immortal Dao Laws in a short period of time, but that 'short period' was measured in days or even months.
You condensed three Heavenly Immortal Laws in less than four hours. Is there still f * cking justice in this?
Someone saw through the trick and somberly asked, "What is that fruit that Jiang He is eating? His ability to swiftly condense a Heavenly Immortal Law should be related to that fruit … Look, he's starting to eat the fruit again. "
As the many elites conversed through acoustics, the Green Scale Dragon King of Shennongjia stared closely at the Thunder Dao Fruit in Jiang He's hand and said, "This fruit is a little similar to a divine item in the inherited memories of my clan."
"Oh?"
"Does the Green Scale Dragon King know where the fruit came from?"
Someone asked, but the Green Scale Dragon King shook his head with a pained smile. "I'm not sure, but I can only say that it's similar to that divine item. It's called the Thunder Dao Fruit, and it is a manifestation of Thunder Dao and extremely rare. How could Jiang He have so many of them?"
That was why the Green Scale Dragon King deduced that the fruit was merely similar to the legendary Thunder Dao Fruit.
And yet, even as he spoke, up in the skies …
Burp …
Perhaps because he had eaten too many Thunder Dao Fruits, Jiang He could not help burping.
Humans, after all.
It was perfectly normal for them to burp after eating too much. Even if the Thunder Dao Fruit was an energy form, would they not burp after eating too much?
Most importantly, a bolt of lightning shot out of Jiang He's mouth when he burped. A Mahayana elite who had been hiding a hundred miles away was struck by the bolt of lightning and sent flying backward, his body charred and almost dying on the spot.
The Green Scale Dragon King was dumbstruck.
Was that really not the Thunder Dao Fruit?
Most importantly, was the Thunder Dao Fruit not a divine item?
Was it not said to be extremely rare?
Could the bloodline memories be wrong?
Meanwhile, Jiang He could not help sighing inwardly as he watched the fourth Heavenly Immortal Dao that was about to condense and materialize in his Qi Sea.
"It's really … so hard!"
"When I first started cultivating in martial arts, I ate cucumbers all day until I almost threw up."
"Now, to become immortal, I've eaten 150 Thunder Dao Fruits over the last three days, and I'm about to throw up …"
Jiang He had planted a total of 45 Thunder Dao Fruit trees, each bearing ten Thunder Dao Fruits, and harvested a total of 450 … if he could cultivate the remaining 300 Thunder Dao Fruits without rest, Jiang He estimated that he could condense up to forty Heavenly Immortal Dao … but that process was too long, and it would take at least seven days!
Eating Thunder Dao Fruits for seven days straight?
Just the thought of it was frightening. Cultivating slowly and fully, he could just extend the seven days to a month at worst.
Withdrawing his aura, the phenomenon in the skies promptly faded, and the surging Spirit Qi within five thousand kilometers gradually calmed.
He slowly landed, faint immortal might swirling around him as he offered everyone a fist-palm salute and smiled. "Brothers, I have just become immortal and need to seclude myself to stabilize my cultivation. Please forgive me for not being able to entertain you."
Those words …
Clearly meant to send them off.
Forget Wang Hou, Jin Sidao, and the others coming to watch me ascend, what are those bastards hiding in the dark up to?
At Jiang He's words, the people who had been hiding in the dark all appeared, congratulating Jiang He and offering some compliments before quickly leaving. Even the people from the eight factions offered some compliments as a show of courtesy.
It was just a few compliments, and it did not cost anything.
In their eyes, Jiang He was already a dead man. So what if he cultivated up to Heavenly Immortal?
When the immortals returned, there was no doubt that Jiang He would die.
While the others left, Jin Sidao, Wang Hou, and the Mahayana cultivators of the Taixu Sect and Jiuhua Sect stayed. They came up to Jiang He and offered him a fist-palm salute before leaving, leaving only Wang Hou and Jin Sidao.
Taken aback, Jiang He asked, "Weren't you in a hurry to get your epiphany, Minister Wang? Why did you come back? "
"…"
Screw you!
Do you think I would get an epiphany after all the commotion you caused when you ascended as immortal?
Still, Wang Hou smiled faintly and said, "You becoming immortal is a big deal, so you naturally have to come and watch the ceremony. Epiphany is something you can do anytime … on the other hand, why didn't you tell me you were becoming immortal so that I could have informed the elites of the country to come and watch the ceremony."
Oh?
Jiang He smiled.
Epiphany is something?
Are you putting on an act now?
Jiang He would usually put on an act in such situations. Smiling bitterly and looking helpless, he shook his head and sighed, saying, "It's not that I didn't inform you beforehand, but the problem is that there's no telling what would happen … after you left, I was about to eat some fruits to quench my craving, but before I could finish, I became immortal and couldn't hold it back."
"Why are you looking at me like that, Minister Wang?"
"Would I lie to you? Ask Brother Jin if you don't believe me — he was there. "
