"A total of 218 cattle and sheep corpses, 103 Feral corpses, as well as 1,200 civilian corpses and a rank-eight Killer Star."
Jiang He could not help laughing coldly when he heard that number. "The Sky Demon Cult has mobilized quite a force to deal with me. To be able to control so many corpses and one of them is a rank-eight martial artist, that person's awakened superpower could match or surpass an average rank-eight."
"That's what Chief Duan deduced as well."
Li Fei lowered his voice and said, "Old Jiang, Chief Duan wants you to retreat in secret and leave Lingzhou City. He has already spoken to the Martial Arts Department (MAD), and there are so many elites there that even the Saint of the Sky Demon Cult would not be able to do anything to you. Moreover, you would be groomed by the MAD, and just return when you have the power to protect yourself."
Jiang He shook his head and smiled. "That won't do. I have vegetables growing in my house. What would happen to them if I leave?"
He strode out of the cordon and climbed into his sports car.
Jiang He got out of the car when he returned to the village, only to find a black MPV driving towards him and stopping in front of his house.
The driver was Su Ze.
Duan Tianhe was sitting in the backseat.
Stepping out of the car, he cut to the chase and asked, "Have you thought it through, Jiang He?"
"Many thanks!"
Jiang He smiled. "Don't worry, Chief Duan. A few Sky Demon Cultists would not be able to do anything to me."
Move away?
No way.
Unless his farm could be upgraded to be portable, and he could go wherever he wanted.
Duan Tianhe tried to persuade Jiang He a little, but stopped mentioning the matter when he saw how determined Jiang He was. His tone then changed as he said, "The Sky Demon Cult is plotting something big. They must have mobilized many of their elites this time to take down Lingzhou City, but your appearance has caused them to lose many of their elites. I'm afraid they would be furious."
"I've called for an emergency meeting, and the entire village will be moved today. Everyone must be moved before nightfall!"
Jiang He's face twitched, and he said, "That's for the best. When the Sky Demon Cultists come knocking, we could avoid unnecessary casualties."
"…"
Duan Tianhe was stunned. This logic … actually made him feel like he couldn't refute it.
He hurriedly said, "What I mean is that you have to move as well. After you move to Lingzhou City, there will be two reinforced companies standing guard there. Also, I've already asked for reinforcements from above. Around tomorrow morning, there will be experts coming to reinforce Lingzhou City."
"I'm not moving!"
Jiang He was rather speechless. "Chief Duan, why did you return to the original topic after talking for so long? Alright, alright, you go ahead with your business. I still have to go back and cultivate. "
He directly chased them away.
Duan Tianhe smiled bitterly and could only leave.
Returning to his yard, Jiang He took out seven bottle gourds and placed them under the sun.
Getting Dumbo to bring him a stool, Jiang He sat down and rubbed his temples, feeling a little worried. "Those Sky Demon Cultists are really persistent … I've only had a few days of peaceful sleep, and now they're bullying me again?"
With a thought, Zhang Xuan opened the system.

"Eh?"
"Since when am I rank-five pinnacle?"
Jiang He was rather taken aback.
Am I rank-five pinnacle?
I didn't feel it.
He did not pay much attention to it. It was possible that one day, he ate a Qi Nourishing Pill and broke through while eating it. This thing was too useless to him now. He ate the Qi Nourishing Pill as a snack. It took him a long time to break through to the peak of Rank-5. As for Rank-6, he had to change to a higher level of Elixir.
Still, he studied his System.
Jiang He thought to himself as he summarized his fight against Killer Star yesterday. Eventually, he breathed a long sigh and muttered, "My offensive moves aren't too bad now. The Ninefold Thunderblade could cut down rank-seven grandmasters, and my superpowers could kill rank-eights if they were caught off-guard, but my defensive moves are much weaker."
Jiang He did some calculations.
Most rank-seven grandmasters could hurt him, but there was not much chance of them cutting him down.
However, if a rank-eight martial artist were to ambush him …
"Killer Star ambushed me and maimed me with a single palm. If I didn't have a new eggplant, I would have died at Li Fei's farm yesterday!"
"If the person who ambushed me was a few times stronger than Killer Star, I would have been killed with a single strike. I wouldn't have a chance to eat the eggplant then."
"So …"
"My defensive means are in urgent need of upgrading!"
Defensive cultivation?
Jiang He could think of many things with a single thought, such as Golden Bell Cover, Iron Shirt, and Thirteen Fiercely Tempered Grand Guardians. Still, those were all external techniques, and strictly speaking, they were lacking compared to his Indestructible Diamond, which was why cultivating them would not be of much use.
It would be best if he could get his hands on a dual cultivation, improving his defense while improving his ability.
After all, he had already planted the Ninefold Thunderblade after his farm reached level 3. Since he only had one chance to plant another cultivation manual, he had to choose carefully.
"What a shame."
"My farm level is too low. Otherwise, I could plant some Eight-Nine Arcane Art, Arhat Golden Body, or Five-Elements Indestructible Body. I could just blow up the Sky Demon Cult with a single punch!"
Taking out pen and paper, Jiang He mused to himself.
The cultivation manual could not be too advanced or he would not be able to plant it, but it could not be too inferior either, or there would be no effect.
The first physique cultivation that came to Jiang He's mind was the Apocalypse Demon Body, a peerless technique created by Bai Suzhen, the Demon Lord of the Winds and Clouds. It was definitely the most powerful physique cultivation in the world of martial arts.
Upon mastery, one's body could nullify all attacks, and one's palm could shatter all divine weapons, giving the impression of being impervious to all spells. Most absurdly, cultivating this martial art would grant one immortality.
"That's a little ridiculous. Isn't the Apocalypse Demon Body beyond the realm of martial arts? It's too advanced, and I definitely can't plant it for now. "
After some thought, Jiang He gave up on the idea of planting the Apocalypse Demon Body, and wrote down the words' Dragon-Elephant Prajna 'on the paper.
"The Dragon-Elephant Prajna is not bad, but I don't have enough Farm Points to buy Mysterious Soil to strengthen it. Looks like I'll have to work hard and revamp it myself!"
How do you revamp a cultivation manual?
Jiang He had a profound understanding of that.
First of all … increase the difficulty!
There were thirteen tiers to the Dragon-Elephant Prajna, and he had to get it all the way up to the eighteenth tier!
After musing to himself for a long time, Jiang He picked up his pen again and wrote, "The Dragon-Elephant Prajna is a supreme defensive technique of the Tantra Sect, and is divided into eighteen tiers. Mastery of the first tier grants the strength of one dragon and one elephant, and the roar of a dragon and the trumpeting of an elephant would accompany it …"
"Mastery of the Dragon-Elephant Prajna up to the eighteenth tier grants the strength of eighteen dragons and elephants …"
After writing for over an hour …
Jiang He sighed inwardly. "Isn't creating a cultivation manual a little too difficult?"
