32: New mission, test the power of supernatural powers
“Ding, according to the host’s current situation, long-term tasks can be issued.”
“Task One: Pass the Great Li Dynasty selection and represent the Great Li Dynasty in the Supreme Beginning Holy Land assessment.”
“Task Two: Stand out in the Supreme Beginning Holy Land assessment and become a Holy Land Disciple of the Supreme Beginning Holy Land.”
“Alright, no need to think about it now. Two long-term tasks just came up,” Jiang Xuan thought to himself.
Coming back to his senses, he glanced at Yang Lin. “I can agree to go to the Royal Capital for the assessment, but I have one condition.”
Yang Lin was overjoyed. “What condition? Tell me, as long as I can do it.”
Jiang Xuan’s expression turned cold, and his tone was icy. “The Guo Family, the Situ Family, and that Wu Tiangang from the Inner Courtyard, they must all die!”
He didn't know how long it would be before he could return from this trip, so he had to eliminate all hidden dangers. These families all had God Transformation Realm experts, and destroying the Jiang Family would be as easy as flipping a hand. Therefore, Jiang Xuan couldn't let them live.
Yang Lin thought it would be some difficult request, but for this, he said readily, “No problem, even if you didn’t say it, I wouldn't let them off.”
“These families have been harming the academy for a long time, and their reputation outside is also poor. If it weren’t for the fear that killing so many people at once would affect the academy, I would have acted long ago.”
Jiang Xuan was a little surprised. “That quickly? As far as I know, the eldest young master of the Guo Family is a guard in the City Lord’s Mansion. Will the City Lord’s Mansion agree to destroy the Guo Family? That person is a Spirit Connection True Monarch, just like you.”
“Hahaha, you don’t need to worry about that. Compared to the future of the Great Li Dynasty and Donglin Prefecture, what are a few bugs?”
“For so many years, in every selection, our Donglin Prefecture has always been last. Our City Lord is more anxious than anyone. He already knows about your matter and has expressed his full support for you,” Yang Lin explained to Jiang Xuan with a laugh.
Jiang Xuan nodded. With that, he had no more worries. “When will you act?”
“Tonight. The City Lord and I will act together; it’ll be a matter of minutes. You just wait for the good news,” Yang Lin said casually.
Jiang Xuan stared at Yang Lin with a playful expression. This old man, who looked kind and benevolent, was also a ruthless character. As expected, they were all cunning old foxes.
After explaining everything to Jiang Xuan, Yang Lin left. Back in his room, Jiang Xuan pondered what had just happened.
According to Yang Lin, Donglin Prefecture was at the bottom in terms of strength among the thirty-two prefectures, with the strongest elite students only at the Spirit Infant Realm Perfection.
However, other top-ranked Martial Houses had formidable experts in the God Transformation Realm. With his current strength, although he could kill a God Transformation expert by relying on the Ziji Divine Light, that thing couldn't be used too often.
Relying on his Limit Realm Power and powerful Physical Body, he could barely defeat an Early Stage God Transformation expert, but neither he nor a Middle Stage or Perfection expert could do anything to the other. His strength was still insufficient. If he were in the God Transformation Realm now, why would he be thinking about these things?
Now, it seemed he could only rely on the new Divine Ability rewarded by the System, Buddha Country in Palm. He didn't know how powerful this ninth-tier Divine Ability was, as the System hadn't specified. How should he test it?
Jiang Xuan frowned in thought, then his eyes lit up. He had it; he thought of a good place.
Under the moonlight, in a dungeon in the Inner Courtyard, Wu Tiangang and the Inner Courtyard teachers from several major families were imprisoned, their faces ashen.
“Click!” The sound of chains falling echoed as the cell door opened, and two figures entered: Jiang Xuan and Yang Lin.
Seeing Yang Lin arrive, several people immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, crying profusely, “Dean, Dean, we know we were wrong. Please spare our lives.”
Only Wu Tiangang remained unmoved, looking at the kneeling crowd with disdain.
Yang Lin ignored them and turned to Jiang Xuan. “Are you really going to do this?”
“Yes, I want to test my strength. Besides, aren’t you here to watch over things?” Jiang Xuan nodded and said with a smile.
These people were perfect for testing the power of Buddha Country in Palm.
“Do you want to live or die?” Jiang Xuan asked indifferently.
“Live, live!” Several people nodded frantically. Wu Tiangang, beside them, looked at Jiang Xuan with murderous intent, wondering what he was up to.
“You want to live, right? Good, I’ll give you a chance. As long as you can defeat me, I guarantee you won’t die.”
Several people were startled, then overjoyed. Defeating Jiang Xuan? That was simple.
Although he had shown impressive strength that day, it was only at the Spirit Infant Realm. They were all God Realm powerhouses; defeating a Spirit Infant was a piece of cake.
Wu Tiangang’s eyes narrowed, then he rushed to the front of the crowd, staring at Jiang Xuan. “Are you serious?”
“Naturally,” Jiang Xuan replied calmly. Wu Tiangang glanced at Yang Lin, and seeing him nod, he finally said, “Good, it’s a deal.”
In the center of the Inner Courtyard plaza, Jiang Xuan stood with his hands behind his back. Opposite him stood a dozen God Transformation Realm teachers.
“Begin. Remember, use your full strength,” a faint voice came, falling into the teachers’ ears.
Immediately, several people burst forth with astonishing auras. The pressure of the God Transformation Realm rushed towards Jiang Xuan. “Setting Sun Palm! Demon Subduing Seal…” Various Divine Abilities were unleashed simultaneously.
The most frantic was Wu Tiangang. “Jiang Xuan, you brought this upon yourself! Go to hell, old man! Netherworld Divine Claw!”
For a moment, fierce winds howled, and violent Spiritual Qi raged. Yang Lin, beside them, watched intently, ready to act at any moment.
Jiang Xuan’s face was calm, his long hair flying. He slowly closed his eyes, and a country gradually appeared in his mind.
Suddenly, Sanskrit chants echoed around him. Jiang Xuan abruptly opened his eyes and slowly uttered a few large words, “Buddha Country in Palm.”
Immediately after, a gigantic palm appeared in the sky. As the Sanskrit chants grew stronger, an illusory country gradually formed, floating above the palm. Its aura was powerful and mysterious, with bursts of Sanskrit chants coming from time to time.
Yang Lin’s expression was solemn. What kind of Divine Ability was this? Its aura was so powerful; he actually felt a hint of threat from it.
“Suppress!” With a loud shout from Jiang Xuan, the gigantic palm, carrying the Buddha Country, pressed down towards the dozen Divine Abilities.
“Boom!” The Divine Abilities unleashed by the others erupted with a violent sound the moment they touched the Buddha Country. The dazzling light instantly turned the night into day.
“No! How is this possible!” After the explosion, the Divine Abilities unleashed by the others had dissipated, but the Buddha Country’s power remained undiminished, continuing to press down on them.
“No, I don’t want to die! Ahh!”
“Jiang Xuan, I won’t forgive you even if I become a ghost!” Accompanied by the screams of several people and Wu Tiangang’s unwilling roar, the palm finally descended, blasting the ground into a huge, deep pit. The figures of the others had also vanished.
“Holy cow! That’s so fierce!” Looking at the bottomless pit in front of him, Jiang Xuan himself was startled, then overjoyed.
After this battle, he roughly understood the power of this ninth-tier Divine Ability. Unleashed with his current Spirit Infant Realm strength, it was invincible against God Transformation experts.
Now, going to the Royal Capital, he felt much more at ease.
