"How dare you!"
Enraged, the God Saint unleashed a divine art with a wave of his hand.
The Primeval Lord of Heaven flicked his finger, dispelling the divine art and sneered, "Trying to hurt someone in front of me?"
"You might be able to protect him for now, Primeval Lord of Heaven, but could you protect him forever?"
The God Saint coldly replied, "He insulted me verbally. Killing him is not a violation of the Saints' treaty."
His gaze swept past Jiang He, and a chilling sneer appeared at the corner of his lips. Soon, his body vanished like mist, vanishing from where he was.
As the sacred aura faded and Jiang He was sure that the God Saint had left, he breathed a sigh of relief and sighed, "That was close … I almost died … thank you for helping, Lord Primeval Lord of Heaven."
The last part was directed at the Primeval Lord of Heaven.
The Primeval Lord of Heaven was rather speechless.
Lord Primeval Lord of Heaven?
Why did that title sound so unsophisticated?
Jiang He's tone changed then, however, and he sneered at the God Saint, "Are the Saints of the God Race all so cowardly? They didn't even say a few harsh words before retreating? "
"Will I be able to kill you with my harsh words?"
The Primeval Lord of Heaven said flatly, "He can't do anything to you with me around."
"That said, I didn't expect you to insult a Saint."
"Insult a Saint?"
Jiang He muttered, "Can't a Saint be insulted?"
"A Saint can't be insulted."
The Primeval Lord of Heaven smiled. "If a weaker cultivator dares to insult a Saint, the Saint would sense it, and it would be normal for them to kill you from a distance."
"Aren't you Saints being too narrow-minded, then?"
Jiang He complained in shock, but then remembered his own situation and quickly said, "Now that I've offended the Gods and Demons, would the Saints of the God and Demon race kill me from a distance?"
"That won't happen."
Amused by Jiang He, the Primeval Lord of Heaven chuckled. "You're not weak, but the power that the Saints could summon is limited across endless space and time. Even the Saints of the Gods and Demons would not be able to kill you from a distance."
"Moreover, Eldest Senior Brother is very concerned about you. Not to mention killing you from afar, even if the primogenitors of the God Race and the Demon Race were to come personally, Eldest Senior Brother would still be able to protect you. Moreover, with the restrictions of the Saints' Treaty, under normal circumstances, Saints would not lower themselves to deal with a Demi-Saint."
If the Sages of the Celestial Race and Demon Race kill the juniors of the Three Realms for no reason, then the Sages of the Three Realms can just go to the Celestial Realm and Demon Realm and slaughter them. If that's the case, what's the point of having a race?
After massacring each other a few times, the races of these Sages would probably be mostly dead.
Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the Primordial Lord of Heaven's tone changed, and he said, "However, a Saint can't be insulted. You spoke rudely to Divine Exalt Swelling Sky today, so it wouldn't be good for us to act if he wants to kill you … Of course, you don't have to worry. So long as you're within the territory of my Three Realms, then Divine Exalt Swelling Sky wouldn't dare attack you."
The Primeval Lord of Heaven led Jiang He outside the Three Realms' base.
Right now, the free-for-all between Demi-Saints was over.
Shockwaves from godly techniques still lingered in outer space.
Veins of Saint auras arose from every direction, just as the divine minds of Saints interweaved and clashed in the air. Jiang He could even vaguely hear a curse that seemed to be saying, "Do you think I'll be afraid of you?"
"So what if it's a Sacred War? I'll take you on!"
"Is that the Grandmaster of Heaven?"
Jiang He thought to himself, "The Grandmaster of Heaven is quite a sentimental person."
After a long time …
The divine minds of the Saints retracted, and the veins of Saint auras began to fade.
Then, the Saints of the God and Demon races stepped forward, leading away the Demi-Saints of the God and Demon races as well as some of the foreign races.
Jiang He did a count and found that there were only thirteen of the foreign Demi-Saints left, with the others either subjugated or dead.
That was when a mysterious sense of danger surged in Jiang He's mind, and he promptly cast teleportation to teleport toward the Three Realms' encampment. At the same time, a gigantic palm descended where he had been standing, blowing space over five hundred kilometers into nothingness.
"You're quite fast."
Lord Swelling Sky, the Saint of the God race, appeared above the nothingness and restored it to its original state with a flick of his finger. After glancing at Jiang He who was five hundred thousand kilometers away, he disappeared in a flash.
What the hell!
Jiang He cursed.
Wasn't Lord Swelling Sky a little too shameless?
He actually ambushed him?
Ooom.
Beside him, the black-clothed Primeval Lord of Heaven appeared and said, "Don't worry. Even if Lord Swelling Sky wants to kill you, he would only dare to do so after you leave the Three Realms' territory."
"Moreover, it is not impossible for you to cultivate up to Xuandu's level with your talents. When that happens, there is no telling if Lord Swelling Sky could kill you."
Jiang He's eyes lit up.
That's right!
The Grand Mage of Xuandu's level …
That shouldn't be too difficult, right?
After all, he cultivated both martial arts and immortal arts, and it would be enough if he returned and cultivated in seclusion for two years, improving his immortal arts up to full-fledged Demi-Saint.
Ooom.
That was when the air rippled.
The Grandmaster of Heaven was approaching from the distance.
He was wearing a long robe embroidered with golden Dao patterns and had the face of a middle-aged man. Although he appeared solemn and imposing, his explosive temper showed once he spoke and he roared in rage, "That damned Lord Swelling Sky actually dared to violate the Saints' treaty and attack Jiang He … are you alright, Jiang He?"
Though Jiang He had never met the Grandmaster of Heaven, he had seen the appearances of the Saints after staying in the Celestial Court for so long. He promptly bowed and smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Elder Grandmaster of Heaven. I'm not hurt."
The Grandmaster of Heaven cursed again.
What Divine Reverend Swelling Sky, what coward, what coward, what coward, what sneak attack against a junior?
What about finding a chance to visit the God Realm, and how Lord Swelling Sky dared to attack a junior of the Three Realms, and how he would return the favor and kill a few God juniors …
At that, Jiang He quickly explained, "Please don't be rash, Elder Grandmaster of Heaven … I was the one who provoked him first …"
With that, he told the Grandmaster of Heaven about how he ransacked the God race's base and how he cursed Lord Swelling Sky. It would be terrible if the Grandmaster of Heaven went to the God Realm and started a Sacred War …
The Grandmaster of Heaven's eyes were bulging.
He stared at Jiang He in disbelief, and only laughed out loud after a while. "Good, good, good scolding. That dog Tian Lan is just a new Saint with mediocre ability. So what if you scold him? He wouldn't have the guts to come to the Three Realms to kill you even if he had a few more guts."
"You haven't been to the Biyou Palace, have you, Jiang He?"
"How about this … you could stay at the Biyou Palace and cultivate from now on. I'd like to see what Lord Swelling Sky could do to you."
Jiang He thought to himself … now that the Chan Sect and the Celestial Court had mostly been drained of Farm Points, it was definitely time to visit the Biyou Palace, and so promptly nodded in agreement.
The Grandmaster of Heaven took out a jade charm and gave it to Jiang He.
He said that he could freely enter the Biyou Palace with it.
After that, the Saints left.
Jiang He went to find Wang Hou.
At the moment, Wang Hou was sitting cross-legged in outer space.
His body was emitting a unique Martial Dao Aura.
A powerful Martial Yuan Spirit hovered over his head.
His Martial Grotto-Heaven was crumbling, turning into a world in his body.
Faint Eternity Golden Radiance shone over his body.
Kaboom!
Overwhelming qi shot into the air, quaking the stars as Wang Hou ascended to the fourteenth-tier of martial arts as everyone watched.
It took a long time before he opened his eyes and breathed a long sigh of turbid air, a look of delight flashing in his eyes.
"Congratulations on reaching Eternal, Minister Wang!"
Jiang He went up to congratulate him, and the other Demi-Saints followed suit.
Wang Hou offered each of them a fist-palm salute in thanks before saying, "Brothers, I've just ascended and need to stabilize my cultivation and comprehend a new tier of martial arts. I'm sorry, but I'll be taking my leave."
With that, he turned into a flash and disappeared.
Meanwhile, Jiang He went to the Grand Mage of Xuan Du.
He was the leader of the Demi-Saints of the Three Realms.
The two addressed each other as brothers, and Jiang He stated his intention in coming — he wanted the corpses of the fallen Demi-Saints. The Grand Mage of Xuan Du was very generous and smiled. "Your contributions in today's great victory cannot go unnoticed, Brother Jiang He. You may take all the spoils of war."
"I can't, I can't."
Jiang He quickly waved him off and flashed a pained smile. "I didn't even join the fray when you fought to the death. All I did was kill sixteen foreign Demi-Saints to reduce the pressure on you."
The Grand Mage of Xuan Du was dumbstruck.
The peerless Demi-Saint who reigned supreme over worlds did a double take.
All of a sudden, he felt that he, who was the strongest person below the Sage level, had lived all these years in vain!
Listen …
Was this even something a human would say?
You only killed sixteen foreign Demi-Saints?
Do you think foreign Demi-Saints are cabbages???
At the same time, Jiang He's tone changed and he snickered, "Our victory today is all because those foreign Demi-Saints are too stupid. Aren't they just asking for death by attacking the Three Realms' base?"
His words elicited laughter, with the True Habitant of Tai Yi muttering quietly, "You're the one who made them flustered …"
They chatted for a while.
The Grand Luo who was in charge of cleaning up the battlefield handed the many spoils of war to the Grand Mage of Xuan Du, who then took out several Demi-Saint corpses and gave them to Jiang He.
There was one Demi-Saint God corpse.
Two Demi-Saint Demons.
There were also four corpses belonging to Demi-Saints of their vassal races.
Jiang He stared at one of the boulders and exclaimed in delight, "Is that the corpse of the Stoner Patriarch? That Stoner is quite interesting. Is it just a boulder after death? "
"Not really."
The Grand Mage of Xuan Du explained, "The Stoners are special beings of the universe. Though they were born from mountain rocks, they are not mountain rocks. The reason the Stoner Patriarch's corpse is only a boulder is because he was too powerful, and I could hardly leave his corpse intact if I wanted to kill him."
"Why are you collecting Demi-Saint corpses, Brother Jiang He?"
"I've wandered worlds over the years and killed several Demi-Saints. I've also collected the corpses of several Chaos lifeforms, and I could give them to you if you need them."
The other Demi-Saints all came up to the Grand Mage of Xuan Du right after he spoke, all of them talking at once.
"I've collected the corpse of a foreign Demi-Saint too."
"You only have one, but I have two!"
"You …"
"What about you? The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect are nothing more than decorations. My senior brother has collected four Demi-Saint corpses. "
"Heh … just four? My senior brother Guang Chengzi has killed untold numbers of Chaos lifeforms while he roamed the outer realms …"
Even as the Demi-Saints of the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect argued, Jiang He appeared delighted!
Demi-Saint corpses …
One for you and one for me. How many would there be in total?
"I'm rich!"
"I'm rich!"
"If I could plant dozens of Demi-Saints, I could fight even average Saints!"
Delighted, Jiang He promptly said, "Brothers, I've been studying a certain Dao recently and definitely need a lot of Demi-Saint corpses. Still, I won't take advantage of you for free."
Jiang He promised to help the Demi-Saints level up their mystic treasures once.
The True Habitant of Tai Yi's eyes lit up even as he spoke, and he whipped out a lampshade from his pocket, asking, "Brother Jiang He, could my Nine Dragons God Fire Shroud be leveled up?"
