464: Breaking the Limits of Humanity, the Fifth Level of the Law Domain, and the Great Changes in the Sirius Mountains

"Chu Jiang, is this the Lord Shao Si of our Demon Suppression Division?"

Lin Han was overjoyed. Chu Jiang's name had spread in the past month. With the dual Marquis titles, he ascended to the position of Lord Shao Si and was appointed Three Provinces Inspectorial Envoy, inspecting the Border Three Prefectures.

Shouldn't he still be in the Three Prefectures pacifying disasters?

Why would he be here?

Regardless, with him here, the demon problem in Tieyuan Prefecture could be resolved.

"Greetings, Lord Shao Si!"

"Greetings, Chu Marquis!"

Lin Han and the Tieyuan Prefecture Administrator said excitedly.

"Hm!"

"For the other counties and towns in Tieyuan Prefecture, this official has already sent people to clear them out. You two should immediately arrange personnel to handle the follow-up work!"

Chu Jiang said indifferently.

The intelligence stated that the number of demon attacks in Bing Province had doubled recently compared to previous years, but when he entered Bing Province, he realized that it had intensified again in just a few days.

"Your subordinate/this humble subordinate obeys!"

The two responded in unison.

They immediately began to arrange personnel.

The two then reported the latest situation in Tieyuan Prefecture and even Bing Province to Chu Jiang.

"Mysterious fox demon?"

Chu Jiang frowned.

"Yes, it's this mysterious fox demon. In just half a month since its arrival, it has stirred up trouble everywhere, making the Snow Moon Wolf King act unusually, breaking the rules, and massively capturing people in Bing Province!"

Lin Han responded.

Originally, the demon problem in Bing Province was not too severe, much better than the chaotic Border Three Prefectures.

Ever since this mysterious fox demon arrived, everything changed.

After listening, Chu Jiang already had some suspicion that this mysterious fox demon might be the Lord of Qingqiu Mountain, Fox Fairy Niangniang.

He had killed her in the Blood Sacrifice Formation, but did not gain Lifespan, indicating that she had not died.

The three major demon forces of the Three Prefectures had also vanished, their whereabouts unknown.

"Where is the Snow Moon Wolf King?"

Chu Jiang asked again. He didn't care what the person behind them was plotting. He planned to solve the source once and for all. With his current strength, he was no longer an Early Stage Demon Commander. At worst, he still had the trump card, Snow Phoenix.

"The Snow Moon Wolf King is in the Tianlang Mountain Range, which is also the only large mountain range in Bing Province, spanning more than half of Bing Province."

"Chu Marquis, the Snow Moon Wolf King's strength is unfathomable. We should just repel the demon problem. We must not go up Wolf Mountain. That is the base camp of the wolf demons in Bing Province. The previous Bing Province Pacification Envoy was severely injured by him and almost died there because he crossed the border to search for someone!"

The Tieyuan Prefecture Administrator saw Chu Jiang's intention and was shocked.

This Snow Moon Wolf King was no ordinary demon. He had royal Bloodline flowing through him, and his combat power far exceeded that of ordinary demons.

Chu Jiang did not explain. After briefly understanding the situation, he set off from Tieyuan Prefecture, slaying demons all the way, resolving the demon problem, and heading towards the Tianlang Mountain Range.

"Great King of the Plains, the Tianlang God has manifested! He sent the Demon Suppression Guard adults to save us!"

"Grandpa Ox God, I told you that praying to the Ox God is useful! Now the Demon Suppression Guard is here and has killed all the evil demons!"

"Buddha bless, Amitabha..."

Chu Jiang and his group pushed forward, killing demons in several prefectures. Eighty percent of the demons died at Chu Jiang's hands, and his demon life essence greatly increased.

He killed over two hundred True Demons and over ten Heaven-Grade Demons.

"These common people on the plains... It was the adults who fought bloody battles and killed the wolf demons to save them from disaster, but these people are all praising some damn gods!"

"If gods exist, why don't they manifest? If gods have spirits, why don't they personally kill the demons?"

Fu Yunxuan was frustrated, watching countless people worship so-called gods after being rescued, feeling extremely speechless.

"This is the power of faith. People are not grateful for the power that truly protects them. Instead, they prostrate themselves before illusory immortals and Buddhas, offering sacrifices every day!"

Chu Jiang also sighed.

Therefore, the Great Chu issued laws prohibiting anyone from spreading religious faiths within the Great Chu, but did not interfere much at the individual level.

However, widespread propagation was forbidden.

The Taiping Holy Church was one example, as was the former Buddhism.

When the founding Old Ancestor established the Dynasty, the first Buddhist and Daoist sect, Guangming Temple, which was the predecessor of the current Guangming Temple, once proposed to establish Guangming Temple as a national temple and allow Buddhism to spread its followers.

As a result, after the Old Ancestor refused, they began to cause trouble, taking advantage of the unsettled public sentiment and the world still being in war, they preached in various states across the land, gaining hundreds of millions of followers.

In a fit of rage, the Old Ancestor used most of the national power to launch an anti-Buddhist campaign, destroying 320 ancient temples within three years. Guangming Temple was crippled, with only one branch remaining, becoming the current Guangming Temple.

Once faith becomes mainstream, the country will change its course and become a Buddhist nation. The class System will only be more rigid than a traditional Dynasty, and upward mobility will be completely locked down.

However, completely eliminating faith is almost impossible.

Sometimes, the more you suppress them, the more rapidly they develop.

Moreover, it is not a sin for the common people to believe in gods.

Fundamentally, most of them are seeking spiritual solace due to despair in reality. In times of peace and prosperity, such situations would be rare, but in chaotic times, they would breed and grow.

Chu Jiang led the group, galloping across the Bing Province plains. Even a Heaven-Grade Rank 10 Great Demon could not withstand a single casual move from Chu Jiang.

The others just picked up scraps and cooperated.

"Since entering Bing Province, I have killed over five hundred True Demons, accumulating over 3.5 million Lifespan!"

"That should be enough to allow the Law Domain to continue advancing, right?"

Chu Jiang looked at the increasing Lifespan on the panel. He always used Lifespan as soon as he had it, never saving it except for emergency reserves.

"Keep one million for emergencies, and go all-in with the remaining 2.5 million!"

Law Domain Triple Stage could already threaten Demon Commander Rank 4. Coupled with Divine Restriction Power and Primordial Cavity Heaven, he could already suppress Rongtian Rank 4.

Although Chu Jiang's combat power was already strong enough, ranking second on the Heaven-Grade list, among the Heaven and Earth Realm, no one could compare with him except the Eternal Mother.

However, the Eight Great Families, both righteous and demonic paths, have been passed down for thousands of years, some even spanning two or three Dynasties. Like the Great Chu Dynasty, they have slumbering Old Ancestors. Perhaps their numbers may not be as many as the Great Chu, but all combined, they could at least gather dozens of Rongtian experts.

If he wanted to rule the world and have absolute authority, he must possess the combat power of Rongtian Late Stage or higher. Although Snow Phoenix was strong, his own strength was also extremely important.

Without pressure, he could only create it for himself out of thin air.

The System had said that, theoretically, if he had enough Lifespan, his Law Domain could continuously advance, and he also wanted to see where the limit was.

With a thought from Chu Jiang, tens of thousands of Lifespan began to pour in...

【Year 100,000: You continuously Cultivate, attempting to break the human limit and surpass the upper limit of Law Domain Triple Stage, but there is no effect.】

【Year 200,000: Still no result. Is Law Domain Triple Stage truly the limit of the Heaven and Earth Realm? But you do not accept your fate and begin to stubbornly persist.】

【Year 600,000: You break the boundary, surpassing the limits of human cognition, reaching a new level. Your Law Domain advances to Quadruple Stage. Your combat power can easily suppress Rongtian Rank 4 and contend with Rongtian Rank 5.】

Chu Jiang felt his magical power surge, his Soul was cleansed, and even his Physical Body was strengthened, undergoing a qualitative change.

Dragon and elephant roars resonated around him, emitting bursts of thunderous sound.

If Law Domain Quadruple Stage was already like this, what about Law Domain Quintuple Stage?

Continue.

【Year 700,000: You vaguely feel that Law Domain Quadruple Stage is not the limit. You continue to comprehend, often entering seclusion for a hundred thousand years at a time.】

【Year 1,500,000: Your accumulation reaches its limit. You break through to Law Domain Quintuple Stage, capable of contending with Rongtian Rank 6.】

【demon life essence: 2,000,000 years】

...

Just as Chu Jiang and his group were slaying demons, a great change was occurring in the Tianlang Mountain Range. A thousand-mile territory was covered by a thick black cloud, obscuring the sky and sun.

"Sir, this is bad!"

"An urgent report from the Bing Province Demon Suppression Division! The Tianlang Mountain Range has summoned a terrifying demon through an altar. Tens of thousands of demons have poured out. They request us to contact the Royal Capital Demon Suppression Division and send strong individuals for support!"

Zhao Hu tore through the Void Realm and rushed over, finding Chu Jiang who was hunting wolf packs.
