A half-step eighth-level puppet, the foundation for saving lives!

After the deployment concluded, Jiang Qing immediately headed to the back mountain of the dormitory.

Relying on his connection with Kui Yi, Jiang Qing quickly located the buried treasure, pulled out a shovel, and began digging.

An hour later, a space hidden within a Formation appeared.

After twenty thousand years, Kui Yi had been guarding the buried treasure site. The Materials used to refine him were extraordinary, and his original Physical Body was that of a Peak Martial Venerable. Even after twenty thousand years, it hadn't affected Kui Yi in the slightest.

"Kui Yi greets Master."

Kui Yi knelt and spoke respectfully.

Seeing this, Jiang Qing's lips curved into a smile.

Kui Yi was originally a Peak seventh-tier Puppet, comparable to a Peak Martial Venerable. Over the years, he had Cultivated himself by absorbing Spiritual Qi. Although he hadn't reached the eighth-tier standard, he had one foot in the eighth-tier threshold.

Half-step eighth-tier; this was an existence capable of exchanging a few blows with a Martial King. A God Puppet, fearless of death and capable of utilizing Martial Arts, could even exchange more than ten blows in a head-on clash with a Martial King.

The plan was feasible. For the next few days, he would continue to refine God Puppets. With ten half-step eighth-tier God Puppets in hand, Jiang Qing wouldn't even need to fear ordinary Martial Kings anymore.

If he had 100... how terrifying would that be?

Jiang Qing retracted Kui Yi into the God Puppet Imprint. Normally, he only needed to stay within the God Puppet Imprint and would be summoned out when needed in the future.

The God Puppet Imprint was simply a work of divine craftsmanship. Jiang Qing couldn't even imagine what kind of brilliant and unparalleled character could have created such an Imprint Art.

Jiang Qing returned to the surface, restoring the excavated pit to its original state before leaving with peace of mind.

...

Dormitory.

Jiang Qing sorted through the gains from this deployment, keeping what he needed and placing the rest into the Purple Lightning Remains.

He had completely controlled the Purple Lightning Remains, and its standing was very high, so it wouldn't collapse without reason. It was perfectly suitable for storing resources Jiang Qing didn't need.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qing pondered for a moment,

"It's time to acquire the Purple Lightning Remains."

More than a month had passed since the Purple Lightning Remains opened, but because the situation was tense during that time, Jiang Qing chose not to return.

The title of Martial Champion in the college entrance examination was quite risky. At that time, he had no backing and insufficient means of self-preservation, so he chose not to return.

However, now it was almost time. Jiang Qing could have Yang Yi accompany him, and even if he encountered an emergency, he still had the God Puppets in the God Puppet Imprint, providing ample self-preservation capabilities.

Jiang Qing made his decision, planning to return to Jiangcheng tomorrow and officially announce to the outside world that he had acquired the Purple Lightning Remains.

This way, he would be able to use the Purple Extremity Profound Lightning in front of outsiders without having to conceal it anymore.

As long as he didn't expose the Purple Lightning Profound Cauldron, a single Heavenly Spirit Lightning wouldn't be too shocking.

With that thought, Jiang Qing continued to sort through his items.

The resources Jiang Qing needed most now, besides Cultivation resources, were Materials for Alchemy and Artifact Refining.

He quickly picked and chose, moving all the unneeded items away. Then, Jiang Qing took out a large amount of space-type Materials and filled them into the God Puppet Imprint.

The God Puppet Imprint required space-type Materials to become stronger, and the internal space capable of accommodating God Puppets would become larger and larger.

To prepare for accommodating more God Puppets in a few days, Jiang Qing now needed to expand the internal space of the God Puppet Imprint.

After absorbing enough space-type Materials, the internal space of the God Puppet Imprint was already large enough to accommodate more than a dozen God Puppets like Kui Yi.

Jiang Qing retracted the God Puppet Imprint and immersed himself in Cultivation.

...

Early the next morning.

Inside the Martial Arts Cultivation Room.

Jiang Qing sat cross-legged, his entire Physical Body's Qi and blood steaming, converging into a billowing smoke above his head.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a dull thud, Jiang Qing's Aura expanded magnificently, and his Cultivation successfully Broke Through to the eighth level of Great Martial Master.

Inside his Dantian,

The Thousand Jun Divine Mountain was majestic and towering, its height reaching an impressive nine hundred ninety zhang.

Pouring the power of the Thousand Jun Divine Mountain into himself, Jiang Qing's normal combat power could already cross two major stages, comparable to a Swift Wind Martial Commander!

It was foreseeable that when Jiang Qing Broke Through to Martial General, his combat power would surge even more rapidly, condensing the strongest Invincible Battle Intent, enough to truly lay his peerless foundation, unrivaled in the world.

"In a few more days, my Cultivation will be sufficient to Breakthrough to Martial General."

Jiang Qing estimated.

When his Cultivation Broke Through to Martial General, he would still be able to fight across two major Realms, matching a Martial Marquis.

The Invincible Battle Intent provided an incredibly terrifying boost to his strength. By then, being able to fight a Martial Marquis would certainly make him a strong individual.

Jiang Qing stood up, stretched, took a shower, and changed into new clothes.

After eating in the cafeteria, Jiang Qing went to find Yang Yi to explain the situation.

The value of a Legacy Remains was considerable. Even those who passed the trials could greatly increase their Physical Body strength. No one knew how good the effect of the true Legacy would be.

If Jiang Qing could obtain it, it would add another layer of foundation to his current Martial Dao foundation. Yang Yi was naturally very willing to let his disciple accumulate a rich foundation, so he immediately took him flying to Jiangcheng.

"Caw!"

The Wind Winged Demon Eagle spread its wings and flew, its wind element light surging as it soared towards Jiangcheng at an extremely fast speed.

When they came to Lin'an City, Yang Yi had escorted him, and this time, Yang Yi was still guarding him on the way to Jiangcheng.

However, compared to their previous trip, their relationship was much closer.

Along the way, Yang Yi explained to Jiang Qing the points to note for his future Martial Dao journey, as well as other relevant information.

Jiang Qing listened quietly. Although he had very strong Martial Dao memories, he didn't feel that Yang Yi's own insights into the Martial Dao were useless.

Only by drawing on the strengths of hundreds of schools can one become the strongest; embracing all rivers is the Righteous Path.

By drawing inferences from other cases, Jiang Qing would be able to forge an even more perfect Martial Dao.

Listening quietly to Yang Yi's teachings, Jiang Qing occasionally raised his own confusions, and the master and disciple mutually verified their Martial Dao insights.

Time flew by as they conversed, and two hours later, the Wind Winged Demon Eagle had flown to the Purple Lightning Remains outpost.

The Purple Lightning Remains outpost was bustling with people, many of whom had traveled long distances from other cities, intending to obtain the Legacy of the Remains as Martial Dao Geniuses.

It was a pity that none of them were qualified. Jiang Qing had been following the progress of the Purple Lightning Remains trials, and so far, the strongest Genius had only barely reached the fifth stage before being unable to continue.

Willpower cannot be achieved through hard training alone; it can only be forged through the trials of life's years.

Jiang Qing had over a decade of life memories, which allowed him to possess such formidable willpower. The oldest among the others were only 19 years old.

With only 19 years of life memories, how many hardships and setbacks could they have experienced? Their willpower simply couldn't be raised.

"You go in, I'll go catch up with Senior Brother Xiao."

Yang Yi said.

Jiang Qing nodded and stepped into the Remains.

Yang Yi's figure flickered, appearing beside the Martial King stationed at the Purple Lightning Remains, and the two began to converse.

The Martial King stationed at the Purple Lightning Remains was also a graduate of Jiangzhe University, one year senior to Yang Yi, making him Yang Yi's senior brother.

At that time, that Martial King had already sensed that Jiang Qing's strength was different from others, which was why Jiangzhe University offered him a much larger scholarship than other schools when admitting him.

It was precisely because they already knew that Jiang Qing's strength was extraordinary.

Jiang Qing, who came from a third-tier small city, had a Cultivation strength even greater than the Prodigies from first-tier cities. Naturally, they took him seriously, not only offering more scholarship money but also having Yang Yi personally escort him.
