Jiang He was all smiles on the surface, but his aura was like a rainbow.
He'd just broken through to the perfection-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm, so he wasn't that familiar with his strength and grasp of the Dao Realm. Originally, he intended to slightly release his imposing aura and killing intent in order to make himself seem more dignified and domineering when he spoke, yet in the end …
Rumble!
A violent aura engulfed the entire hall.
This supreme-grade Immortal artifact Immortal Treasure Hall shook violently a few times and was almost overturned.
Lu Dongbin, the master of the Immortal Magic Treasure Hall, hurriedly used his immortal energy to stabilize the magic treasure.
Around Jiang He, the many Golden Immortals were all coughing blood and retreating, their faces pale. Only Lü Dongbin, Iron Crutch Li, and several other peak Golden Immortals could barely resist Jiang He's aura and Dao suppression.
Even so, the most frightening thing was not the Dao presence or the pressure of aura, but the killing intent emanating from Jiang He's body.
Even Yu Yuan's scalp went numb from the tangible killing intent, let alone these Golden Immortals.
How many people did this guy kill?
He said that he had only been cultivating for a year …
Why did it feel like the number of people he had killed in several eras wasn't as the number of people he had killed in a year?
In the next instant, Jiang He withdrew his aura and Dao and his killing intent vanished. Feeling a little embarrassed at the sight of the Golden Immortals who were coughing blood and staggering on their feet, he scratched the back of his head and laughed dryly, saying, "I'm sorry, Brothers. I've only just ascended, and my control over my power is not perfect …"
"You're too kind, Lord Jiang He."
One of the Golden Immortals wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and swallowed a spirit pellet before answering, offering Jiang He a fist-palm salute with a flash of fear in the depths of his eyes.
Rolling his eyes?
He quickly added, "Congratulations on ascending to Grand Luo, Lord Jiang He."
As soon as he said that, the others also started to speak up.
He began to congratulate them.
It was Yu Yuan?
He also opened his mouth to offer his congratulations.
Jiang He waved them off and smiled. "Thank you, Brothers.
I've only made a slight breakthrough in my cultivation, it's nothing.
It's nothing much … "
A humble remark?
In the ears of the crowd, however …
It was very ear-piercing.
F * ck!
A slight breakthrough in cultivation?
You broke through from the Golden Immortal Stage to the perfected Golden Immortal Stage in one go, and you call this a slight breakthrough?
Some had cultivated for tens of thousands of years?
A Golden Immortal who hasn't even stepped into the Golden Immortal Realm?
She lowered her head in shame.
In fact, many immortals did not believe in the rumors and information about Jiang He.
Cultivating for less than a year …
In the eyes of the immortals, Jiang He might be a prodigy that the mundane government had deliberately promoted in a world where Ferals ran amok after the Revival of Qi.
He deliberately mythologized Jiang He to achieve the effect of inspiring people.
But now …
Whatever bullsh * t thoughts he had vanished in an instant!
He started from the consummate stage of the Golden Celestial stage?
How long did he take to break through to the perfection-stage of the Golden Immortal Realm?
A lot of Grand Luo Immortals?
It was a height that he might never reach in his entire life.
It was probably true that he had cultivated for less than a year.
He didn't pay much attention to these Golden Immortals who had different thoughts?
Jiang He turned around?
Again in front of Yu Yuan?
"Fellow Daoist Yu Yuan, you still haven't answered my question."
"Ah?"
Yu Yuan recovered from his bewilderment and quickly said that it was his grandmaster's will to return to the homeworld and invite Jiang He and Wang Hou to the Jie Sect as guests. He was merely following his grandmaster's orders and would not have any other thoughts.
"That's good."
Jiang He held Yu Yuan's hands like an old friend he had not seen for years and smiled. "Though our meeting wasn't exactly pleasant, we are acquaintances after all, and it's naturally good that we don't have to fight … Brother Yu Yuan, you're not in a hurry to return to the celestial battlefield, are you?"
A clash of swords?
What does that mean?
Yu Yuan cursed inwardly …
This guy came looking for him for no reason today. Could it be that he wanted to spar with him?
He had asked if I would fly into a rage out of humiliation because of his refusal … could he be implying that he would attack me if I really fly into a rage out of humiliation?
This person …
What kind of brain circuit was that?
Even so, he did not know that Jiang He was already holding back.
On one hand, Yu Yuan did not appear to disgust Jiang He, and on the other hand, he was a legendary figure. In fact, Jiang He more or less had a favorable impression of legendary figures like Lü Dongbin and Yu Yuan.
Otherwise, according to his usual style of 'nipping all threats in the bud', he would have directly ambushed and killed Yu Yuan.
After confirming that Yu Yuan was not displeased, Jiang He rose to his feet and flew out of the temple.
In the temple, the immortals could vaguely hear Jiang He grumbling, muttering, and cursing —
"Damn it."
"I would have held back from ascending if I had known that Yu Yuan was not so petty …"
"I'm a full-fledged Grand Luo now … doesn't that mean I can't participate in the Realm War? I was still thinking of finding a chance to plunder the domains of those small clans … "
Whoosh.
Jiang He vanished without a trace.
In the silent Immortal Palace, the sound of blood being spat out sounded, followed by an uproar.
The many Golden Immortals discussed endlessly.
"That kid is actually that frightening?"
"Instantly becoming a full-fledged Grand Luo … could he be a Dao incarnation that doesn't need to gain enlightenment?"
"If the information and rumors about Jiang He are true … it has not even been a year since he started cultivating, has it not? Becoming a full-fledged Grand Luo in a year? Not even reincarnated superior beings could do that, could they? "
One of the Golden Immortals sneaked a look at Lü Dongbin.
In his past life, Lü Dongbin was the Celestial Court's Emperor Donghua, a close vassal of the Jade Emperor, a Grand Luo and superior being.
Lü Dongbin felt a little awkward being stared at. He cleared his throat and said, "Grand Luo aside, even if a Demi-Saint reincarnated and re-cultivated, even if they had the Dao comprehension and cultivation experience of their past life, it would be difficult for them to achieve such accomplishments in a year."
Yu Yuan promptly rose to his feet.
There was somberness in his expression as he said somberly, "All of you have heard what Jiang He had said before."
"He first practiced martial arts, and after a month, he began to cultivate the Immortal Dao … Moreover, everything he learned was self-created …" At this point, Yu Yuan's voice paused, and he could not help but curse a few times.
Damn it.
Self-created?
What nonsense was that?
Still, there was probably no need to lie at Jiang He's cultivation, which was a little frightening … if it was a Golden Immortal … no, even a Heavenly Immortal would have worked.
Yu Yuan wouldn't be so surprised even if it was a Heavenly Immortal who created a cultivation technique, a cultivation technique that could allow one to cultivate to the Golden Immortal Realm, a formation technique, a pill refinement technique, or an equipment refinement technique.
After all, Heavenly Immortals were not weak.
He had a certain level of understanding towards the Dao.
On the other hand, it was a little unreasonable for someone who had trained in martial arts for a month and knew nothing about immortal arts to create his own cultivation method.
Most importantly, his self-created cultivation method allowed him to instantly form a Golden Pellet and attract the Four Heavenly Retributions of the Nine Heavens. That was even more ridiculous, let alone other things.
After cursing a little and calming himself, Yu Yuan then said, "Everyone, keep watching over the homeworld and wait for the celestial battlefield's orders before making any arrangements. I have urgent matters to attend to, so I'll be heading back to the celestial battlefield."
Whoosh!
He promptly turned into a streak of immortal light and disappeared from where he was.
Nearby, Jiang He could not help frowning when he sensed Yu Yuan's movements …
What was that fellow doing?
He was flying directly to outer space … was he leaving Earth and returning to the homeworld?
"I should have made him swear an oath just now …" Jiang He sighed inwardly, shaking his head and sighing, "Whatever, I believe the Jie Sect would not be so narrow-minded. Still, come to think of it, I would have to pay a visit to the celestial battlefield in the future. The resources I have now would at most support my cultivation of the Secret Art of Chaos Thundersword up to full-fledged Grand Luo. Even if I plunder all the immortal crystals and treasures from the Golden Immortals, True Immortals, and Heavenly Immortals on Earth, it would only be enough for me to cultivate martial arts … I still have to work hard to reach Demi-Saint."
A phrase involuntarily came to his mind: heavy responsibilities and a long way to go.
After returning home and having breakfast, Jiang He went to his farm to harvest a wave of immortal crystals, and instructed Dumbo, Trumbo, and the nine Wise Rock Monkeys to plant the next batch of immortal crystals. Jiang He was taking a nap beneath the Old Tea Tree of Enlightenment when he saw Fourth Brother bouncing toward him, saying, "Gramps, gramps! That Minister Wang is here again."
Jiang He left his farm to find Wang Hou, who was dressed in a Chinese tunic suit, looking somber as he said, "Jiang He, I sensed Yu Yuan leaving Earth in a hurry just now. Did something happen?"
"It's nothing."
"Maybe he's homesick after being away for too long."
Jiang He made up a story.
As for why Yu Yuan suddenly ran away, Jiang He had a theory … could his aura have been too overbearing and he accidentally revealed his killing intent, scaring the wretch?
Surely not?
Jiang He did not continue the topic and asked, "Minister Wang, Jin Sidao's ascension banquet is tomorrow, and the leaders of various sects would probably be there. Have you thought about what you mentioned before?"
"Of course."
Wang Hou smiled. "I've already spread word that the elites of the various sects would purge the daemonic cultivators, untitled cultivators, and evil spirits hiding across the world. At present, only the Jiuhua Sect, the Taixu Sect, and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had sent Heavenly Immortals to discuss the matter with me. If the other sects do not move by tomorrow, only the three sects of the Hua Nation can preach from now on."
"That's not bad."
Jiang He smiled. "Right now, the Hua Nation is flourishing in Martial Dao. You are a pioneer in martial arts and could be considered a Martial Ancestor, and the more martial cultivators there are, the stronger your Martial Dao Fortune would be. Cutting off a few sects would benefit your development in martial arts."
Wang Hou mused, "I'm just worried that this would affect you. After all, you mainly cultivate the path of immortals, and now that Earth's martial arts are flourishing, there is a faint trend of suppressing the path of immortals. If you remove the other sects that preach, I'm afraid that it would affect your future cultivation …"
"It's fine."
Jiang He waved him off with a smile. "It doesn't matter to me whether Earthlings cultivate martial arts or immortal arts, not to mention that my cultivation has now transcended conventional cultivation. “
Eh?
Wang Hou could not help doing a double take at those words.
There was a glint in his eyes as he turned towards Jiang He and exclaimed in shock, "You're Grand Luo now, Jiang He?"
