Calling out to Dumbo, Trumbo, the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers, and the nine Wise Rock Monkeys, Jiang He asked, "How are the preparations for the resources I asked you to buy?"
"Don't worry, Master. It's all done!"
Dumbo appeared smug, cocking its canine head and chuckling. "We've cleared out most supermarkets in six base cities, as well as a trip overseas to several countries. We've also contacted some manufacturers and ordered a lot of things, including snacks and drinks. We've even bought some cars, airplanes, and other consumables."
"…"
Jiang He appeared stunned and exclaimed in surprise, "I gave each of you a hundred million, and you used it all to buy spirit stones?"
"Yes, Master!"
Trumbo stood up on its hind legs and adjusted its reading glasses with its chubby paws, shaking its head and saying seriously, "Master, I've recently studied sixty-eight fantasy and cultivation manuals, and found many things we could use for reference."
"For example, the celestial battlefield is a world of cultivators, and there definitely wouldn't be spicy potato strips, potato chips, cola, or chicken drumsticks there. That's why we've bought a lot of them, and there might be fairies or shut-in immortals who would like to eat them when we get to the celestial battlefield. When that happens, we could just trade them for a hundred or so immortal crystals and two immortal items, earning back the hundreds of millions we spent."
"There are also airplanes and sports cars …"
"I've heard that the major cities in the celestial battlefield are cities of war, and each city is thousands of kilometers wide or even dozens of thousands of kilometers long. Flying is usually forbidden inside, so it's not bad to have a sports car instead. Moreover, there might be immortals who would like these technological products."
It sounded …
And it actually made sense?
Even so, Jiang He was speechless and barked, "I have mountains of immortal crystals in my house. Do I have to earn them like this? Whatever, since I've bought them, I'll just bring them along. Consider it a local specialty of the celestial battlefield for the cultivators of my home. "
"Alright, Dumbo. Inform Boa Hancock and Sora to enter the farm as well. We'll be leaving soon."
With that said, Jiang He left the farm and chatted with Wang Hou, smiling as he asked, "Minister Wang, is everything settled at the MAD?"
"The gods of the west have been wiped out. Apart from the Jiuhua Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the other immortal sects and demonic sects have all retreated. I've also personally swept through the lands on Earth, killing those who should be killed and banishing those who should be banished. The remaining grotto-heavens and Blessed Lands haven't had any champions emerge even now, so there's nothing to worry about. Moreover, I've also come to an agreement with them that if Earth is in trouble, those grotto-heavens and Blessed Lands would actually have some hidden measures left behind by some superior beings. Even if a Grand Luo were to attack Earth, they would be able to hold out for a while."
Wang Hou then said, "Moreover, the spread and development of the new martial arts system has also entered a mature phase. Before I was thirty, I did not achieve anything and just sat around waiting to die in a public institution. After turning thirty-one, I stepped into martial arts by chance. It was during the Revival of Spirit Qi when Ferals ran rampant, and I had to fight to protect myself, my family, and my country. Now that the Hua Nation is thriving and the Ferals are no longer a threat, it is time for me to rest and pursue the pinnacle of martial arts."
Jiang He heard that …
For a moment, it was a little awkward.
What the hell.
How did you end up talking about that after a little chat?
Moreover, you're making it sound so noble.
Naturally, he could not fall behind either. Looking up at the skies at a forty-five-degree angle, he breathed a long sigh and said, "Sigh, I'm nothing compared to you, Minister Wang. I'm just a martial artist who practiced for a year and a half … eh?"
"Where are you going, Minister Wang?"
Noticing that things were not going well, Wang Hou promptly took to the skies and said, "I'm going to put away the Star Map. I'll be going ahead and waiting for you in outer space, Jiang He."
Whoosh!
In a flash, he rushed out of the atmosphere.
It was only after he left the atmosphere that Wang Hou breathed a long sigh of relief, a look of smugness flashing over his face.
Trying to show off in front of me?
No way!
How could I not know what kind of person you are after knowing you for so long?
On the other hand, Jiang He looked gloomy.
What the hell!
It was a terrible feeling to be interrupted halfway through his act of showing off.
Meanwhile, Boa Hancock and Sora had already packed their belongings and entered his farm. Jiang He extended his hand and grasped, and the farm shrank with a rumble, turning into a speck of light that entered between his brows.
He flew to the outskirts of Lingzhou City's mansion district and called Wang Siyu. Wang Siyu was already prepared and quickly came out.
Wang Sizhen, her brother, was with her.
Wang Sizhen's ability was extraordinary now, and his construction company came into contact with leaders of city bases and even countries. As time went by, he developed an extraordinary presence.
Wang Sizhen appeared a little reserved when he saw Jiang He and said, "Jiang He, please take care of my sister. Before this, the furthest she could go from home was to attend university, but now she has to cross the cosmos and head to the celestial battlefield untold billions of light years away …"
After some small talk, both sides bade each other farewell.
Jiang He was a little emotional …
Now, as his cultivation and ability improved, he could clearly feel that some of his friends and acquaintances were slowly becoming unfamiliar to him.
The only exception was probably Li Fei.
"By the way, where's Li Fei?"
Jiang He asked as he and Wang Siyu walked out of Lingzhou City. Wang Siyu shook her head, saying, "I'm not sure. The last time I met him was a month ago, and didn't you give him some resources before? "His Transcendent Awakening ability has reached SS, and he calls himself the strongest man in China. He's also made some achievements in Martial Dao cultivation, reaching Perfected Level-3 in Martial Dao. I heard that he and his father contracted an abandoned town nearby to do some breeding. He even hired a group of martial artists to graze the animals for him and hired some experts to study the hybrids between ferocious beasts and animals …"
"By the way, he even caught a batch of mutated Feral Black Scaly Horses from the Western Frontier, saying that he wants to breed a new breed of horses that could run a thousand miles in a day."
That knowledge was a little beyond Jiang He's knowledge.
Still, it sounded quite interesting.
He released his immortal will and casually scanned the area, finding Li Fei eighty kilometers away from Lingzhou City.
It was a sizable abandoned town, but most of it had collapsed due to the Feral attack. Even so, there were still some construction teams rebuilding the dilapidated town.
There were cows and sheep everywhere around the town.
Some of the cows and sheep had clearly mutated, being tall and imposing.
Li Fei, on the other hand, was riding a handsome horse covered in black scales, galloping down the road.
"Two Dog!"
Jiang He called out from the distance before landing. Li Fei stopped his horse and laughed out loud, "Why are you here, Jiang He? Oh right, you're here to visit my horse farm … Come, come, let me introduce you. This is Big Black, my mount. It's a Rank-8 Feral, and it took me a lot of effort to tame it. In the future, I'm going to train Big Black well. At the very least, I want it to reach the Emperor level. When that time comes, it will be able to fly … "
Jiang He: "…"
You could fly on your own?!
On the other hand, Two Dog Li was chattering incessantly, describing some of his ideas and recent research. Jiang He was listening intently at first, but soon grew impatient and nonchalantly took out a wind-type Greater God divinity and threw it at Two Dog Li.
"Alright, stop blabbering. I have something to do and have to leave Earth. This is a wind-type Greater God divinity. Give it to Big Black and cultivate it with a drop of your blood, and it would be able to cultivate even as a Greater God."
"Greater God?"
"Comparable to a Golden Immortal!"
"What the hell!"
Li Fei immediately jumped up and put away the highgod's Godhead. He kicked Big Black aside and scolded, "You're just a beast. Why would you want such a good treasure? I should be the one to refine it."
Jiang He quietly took out another Overgod divinity.
Li Fei: "Daddy!"
Jiang He: "…"
Jiang He's mood improved considerably after chatting with Li Fei for a while. Li Fei could not help becoming spirited when he learned that Jiang He was heading to the celestial battlefield, saying, "Jiang He, could you get some divine beasts like dragons, phoenixes, or qilins after you go? Or maybe some divine beast blood essence would work too. I've been focusing on that recently, and I believe that if I fuse the divine beast blood essence into Big Black, it would definitely change it qualitatively. When that happens, it would become a black dragon horse or a black phoenix horse."
Jiang He flatly said, "Of course, there's a high chance that your Big Black would blow up with just one drop of blood essence …"
After bidding farewell to Li Fei, Jiang He led Wang Siyu to outer space.
Outer space.
Wang Hou was standing with his hands clasped behind his back, his head glowing green.
Jiang He focused his eyes to find that the green radiance was a Star Map, with the sun, moon, and stars swirling within, exuding a frightening aura.
Whoosh!
Noticing Jiang He's gaze, Wang Hou promptly put away the Star Map and smiled, "Brother Jiang He, can we go now?"
Jiang He laughed out loud and said, "Let's go together!"
Wang Siyu was dumbstruck.
She then muttered quietly, "Why does that sound so inauspicious …"
She had been very curious about the universe's formation at first as she hurried along with Jiang He, and would stop to admire each unique cosmic scene. Still, she became bored after half a month.
The universe was cold and lonely, and it was difficult to run into a single living being even after traveling for days. Even if they passed a living planet, the living beings on it would be of all shapes and sizes, and they were extremely wary of the outside world.
Of course.
That was because Jiang He did not cast teleport. Otherwise, he would have reached the celestial battlefield in half a month even if he had to bring Wang Hou and Wang Siyu along.
And according to Jiang He …
There was no rush since it was their first time out.
Traveling more and seeing more would broaden their horizons, and it would help in cultivation as well.
At times, they would stay in front of some cosmic wonders for days, or sneak into some living planets and tour the mountains and rivers. Soon, another three months had passed. On this day, thunderclouds billowed in the skies, and Wang Siyu's body shone brightly as she charged into the clouds.
Wang Hou sighed in awe. "It's been four months in the blink of an eye, but we've only crossed two constellations and are still very far away from the celestial battlefield … by the way, it's almost winter on Earth, isn't it?"
"Almost."
Jiang He did some calculations and said, "It's almost the end of November."
Boom-crack!
Up in the skies, thunderbolts flashed.
Wang Siyu withstood her immortal retribution head-on, and soon ascended as an immortal.
Jiang He had already set up a measure to block all movement, and none of the living beings on the planet who were merely Convergence-tier cultivators noticed anything unusual.
Wang Siyu's aura had become even more ethereal after she weathered her immortal retribution.
Jiang He suggested that they stay on the planet for a few more days until Wang Siyu stabilized her cultivation. Soon, Wang Siyu went into seclusion, Wang Hou began to meditate on martial arts, and Jiang He entered his farm in a flash …
At the same time.
In the distant depths of space.
The Blood Sea that stretched as far as the eye could see was churning endlessly.
Above the Blood Sea, a blood-colored divine palace hovered in the air. Inside the divine palace, many Asura Clan experts wore joyful expressions.
An old man was kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down his face as he said, "After so many years, the patriarch is finally awakening …"
