"Ah?"
The True Habitant of Taixu was puzzled. "The champions of the Green Hill Foxes have returned to the homeworld ahead of time? I didn't sense their presence at all. Perhaps they used a hidden portal to return to the Ancestral Star and hid their presence? "
However, even Daoist Master Taixu did not dare to believe his own words.
As a peak Golden Immortal, how powerful was his immortal sense?
With a sweep of his immortal sense, apart from the secret grounds and the grotto-heavens that were isolated by formations, almost the entire Earth was under his observation. Although he rarely did this, it was impossible for him not to know if the champions of the Green Hill Foxes had truly descended.
After all …
The True Habitant of Taixu understood the grudge between Jiang He and the Green Hill Foxes.
Would the elites of the Green Hill Foxes not seek revenge on Jiang He? How could he not unleash his aura when he sought revenge on Jiang He?
Lü Dongbin and the other champions traded glances, with one of the Golden Immortals somberly asking, "Could they have been ambushed by the legion of the Hundred Races Alliance on their way back?"
This possibility …
It wasn't small at all.
Some of these immortals had left legacies on Earth, but those legacies had long since been destroyed. Most of them were disciples of the Six Holiness Palace, the Three Schools, and immortals of the Celestial Court, who had nowhere to go even if they came to Earth. With the True Habitant of Taixu's invitation, the group of immortals soon arrived at the Taixu Sect.
The disciples of the Taixu Sect were quick to act, and soon set up a banquet to entertain everyone.
At the banquet.
He drank a few glasses of wine.
Lü Dongbin rose to his feet and said, "Brothers, now that the homeworld has been unsealed, the legion of the Hundred Races Alliance has assembled at the Black Demon Star in the Sky Demon System, intent on waging another invasion against the homeworld!"
"By the order of the Six Saints and the Jade Emperor of the Celestial Court, we have returned to the homeworld to repel the Hundred Races Alliance and protect our home …"
Lu Dongbin's impassioned speech lasted for the time it took for two incense sticks to burn.
To sum it up, there were only a few sentences.
The immortals were united to resist the enemy and protect their homeland.
After saying that, Lu Dongbin began to make arrangements, saying, "The Star Map has been unsealed, so it's obviously under someone's control. Does anyone know who's controlling the Star Map? If we want to keep the Alliance's legion out of space, this person is indispensable. "
"He can use the star map to monitor the outer realms."
"I can even borrow the power of the Star Map to suppress strong enemies!"
Lü Dongbin raised his cup and emptied it in one gulp, smiling at the True Habitant of Taixu. "Fellow Daoist Taixu, you have returned to the homeworld earlier than us. Do you know which disciple was so lucky to be acknowledged by the Star Map?"
Enlightened Master Taixu smiled wryly. "The Star Map is currently under the control of that Marquis, a mortal."
"Oh?"
The immortals immediately became more interested in Wang Hou.
They hadn't had a detailed understanding of the matters of the mortal world in the previous simple conversation. Now that Lü Dongbin had spoken, Enlightened Master Taixu told him everything he knew.
Jiang He was mentioned the most.
From when Jiang He fought against the Sky Demons alone, to the feud between the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, to when Jiang He slaughtered his way up to the Penglai Sect and wiped them out, all the way to when Jiang He ambushed the Golden Immortals of the Penglai Sect, the Green Hill Foxes, the Unbounded Demon Sect, and the other factions in outer space, where he killed every single one of them despite being a True Immortal.
The True Habitant of Taixu sighed in awe. "That kid … is a monster, and none of the prodigies across worlds are fit to carry his shoes … it's a shame that he is so impulsive that he charged out into outer space alone and ambushed the legion of the Hundred Races Alliance … and it bodes ill rather than well."
The many immortals were left confused by the story, and someone could not help asking, "True Habitant of Taixu, did you just say … how many years did Brother Jiang He cultivate until now?"
"Less than a year!"
Gasp!
Gasps could be heard as a Golden Immortal exclaimed in shock, "Could Jiang He be the reincarnation of some superior being?"
"The reincarnation of a superior being could cultivate up to True Immortal in less than a year?"
Someone shook his head in disbelief.
True Immortal …
In the myriad of worlds in the universe, it was really nothing. Even those small clans possessed thousands or even tens of thousands of True Immortals. But if this True Immortal was crowned with words like 'cultivating for less than a year' or 'killing numerous top-notch Golden Immortals', then it was too terrifying!
Even Lü Dongbin exclaimed in shock, "He became a True Immortal in less than a year, and could even kill a peak Golden Immortal with the body of a True Immortal. Such talent is simply unheard of. If he goes to outer space, the Saints of the Six Saint Palace will probably show themselves and take him as their disciple."
Then, Lü Dongbin remembered how Jiang He had gone off to outer space alone to ambush the legion of the Hundred Races Alliance, and could not help showing a look of pity. "Prodigies do not die easily," he said. "Perhaps Jiang He could still live."
"Moreover …"
He looked around and sneered, "This kid has saved the homeworld time and time again. How could he be a bloodthirsty person? The conflict between him and the Green Hill Foxes must be thoroughly investigated. "
As for the Penglai Sect, the Unbounded Demon Sect, and the other sects, Lü Dongbin did not mention a word about them.
What was the point of mentioning them when their sects were wiped out?
The Green Hill Foxes had elites, and if Jiang He survived this calamity, they could come up with a way to mediate.
Beside them, the True Habitant of Taixu took a sip of wine and calmly said, "By the way, this kid is adept in arrays as well. His arrays are so unique that I have neither heard nor seen it before."
"What?"
One of the Golden Immortals could no longer sit still.
He was acquainted with the True Habitant of Taixu and was aware of his abilities. Promptly rising to his feet and glaring at the True Habitant of Taixu, he said, "Brother Taixu, I know that you are very accomplished in arrays. Could Jiang He be more accomplished in arrays than you are?"
The Golden Immortal shook his head repeatedly in disbelief, saying, "I could reluctantly accept that he could cultivate up to True Immortal in a year, since no one knows if some superior being had left their legacies on the homeworld … he might have even entered an array that accelerates his cultivation … but is the path of arrays that easy to study?"
Shocked, aren't you?
Shocked just like that?
The True Habitant of Taixu could not help laughing inwardly.
I was even more shocked than all of you when I first learned about it.
Still, the True Habitant of Taixu maintained a calm look and smiled, "You might not know this, Brother, but according to what I know, Jiang He did not receive any legacies or enter an array that accelerates his cultivation. According to him, he had learned everything by himself."
"Oh, right!"
"Aside from arrays, Jiang He is also a grandmaster in item refinement. He could easily refine immortal items and improve mystic treasures, and one of the managing elders and the current chieftain of the Taixu Sect had personally witnessed his item refinement, even recording it."
"Moreover, Jiang He is a master pellet refinement as well."
"His methods in item refinement and pellet refinement are simply unheard of …"
The True Habitant of Taixu was full of praise.
He even took out a jade charm and infused his mystic energy within, and the entire process of Jiang He's item refinement and pellet refinement appeared in front of his house.
And after that …
The immortals were silent, with the many Golden Immortals appearing baffled.
"Are you sure this is pellet refinement or item refinement, True Habitant of Taixu?"
A Golden Immortal with white hair and a ruddy complexion rose to his feet and sneered, "I may not know pellet refinement, but I do know a thing or two about item refinement. Could such an item refinement technique refine mystic treasures?"
"That's right!"
Another Golden Immortal rose to his feet and said, "I'm fairly accomplished in pellet refinement as well, but I've never heard of such a pellet refinement technique. There are many spirit medicines with different properties and melting points, and if they are thrown into a cauldron like stewing, they would never fuse perfectly even if they were melted into medicinal liquid, and the medicinal pellets produced would only be trash!"
There was no telling how many years these immortals had cultivated.
All of them had their own specialties.
They had dabbled in item refinement and pellet refinement, and began to doubt themselves after seeing Jiang He's pellet refinement and item refinement. Even Iron Crutch Li, who was the strongest amongst the immortals and closest to Grand Luo, could not help frowning.
He was hailed as the Potion King, and his pellet refinement skills were certainly not lacking.
That was when Iron Crutch Li said, "I've never heard of such a pellet refinement technique either."
He did not mention whether it would work, and instead said, "True Habitant of Taixu, could you please inform the Golden Immortals of the other sects to come to the Taixu Sect for a meeting? The legion of the Hundred Races Alliance would come soon, and we need to make arrangements as soon as possible."
"Alright."
The True Habitant of Taixu agreed, and took out his communications jade charm to relay the message. Around ten minutes later, veins of immortal light streaked across the horizon as the Golden Immortals of the other sects rushed to the scene.
As for the Ten Thousand Swords Daoist …
He was still on his way.
Just as he was about to reach the Taixu Sect, he suddenly turned and flew towards Lingzhou City.
Soon, he landed outside Jiang He's house.
"Mister Jiang, Mister Jiang …"
The Ten Thousand Swords Daoist cried out as he landed.
"What? What? "
Dumbo swaggered out with a cigar in its mouth, cursing and spitting vulgarities. "You old coward," it said, "Why are you running to my house every day? Why are you yelling so early in the morning?"
Early … in the morning???
The Ten Thousand Swords Daoist looked up at the sky …
The sun was setting in the west. According to the mortal timekeeping method, it was probably around three or four in the afternoon?
Even before he could say a word, Dumbo glared and barked angrily, "What are you looking at? My master hasn't woken up yet. Even if the sun sets, it's still early in the morning. Tell me, why are you looking for my master? "
"Dumbo!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded.
It was Jiang He, standing on the balcony of his second-floor bedroom.
He chided Dumbo, before smiling. "Don't blame me, Brother Ten Thousand Swords. My dog is a little mischievous … by the way, is there something you need from me?"
"Sage Taixu just sent a message saying that someone from the celestial battlefield has come. There are tens of Gold Immortals, hundreds of True Immortals and thousands of Heavenly Immortals." The Ten Thousand Swords Daoist said, "I was rushing to the Taixu Sect, but I thought that Mister Jiang might not be aware of this, so I came to inform you."
"Oh?"
Jiang He's gaze twitched and he smiled. "If that's the case, I'll come with you to the Taixu Sect."
"But wait for a moment, I'll go wash up and eat breakfast."
The Ten Thousand Swords Daoist was dumbstruck.
The sun is about to set. Why are you eating breakfast? What the hell!
