536: Buying in bulk and integrating martial arts

“Nine Yin Heavenly Lightning, ranked ninth on the Abnormal Lightning List, possesses the power to counteract soul-type beings. Refining it can enhance one’s cultivation.”

“book of life and death Replica: Within a specific range, it can accelerate or extend a portion of a living being’s Lifespan. It contains a curse. Within the same Realm, death is certain in seven days. Across a major Realm, bad Luck will entangle them, and all endeavors will fail. Becomes a common item after ten uses.”

He finally got his hands on it. He had always coveted this book of life and death Replica; it truly was the number one Divine Artifact for scheming.

Unfortunately, there were no test subjects for now. Using this book of life and death on someone too weak would be overkill and a bit of a waste.

Swoosh—

Chu Jiang reopened the black mirror and entered the market to see if there were any treasures inside.

“Yellow Springs Crossing Calamity Body, Upper Scroll,” Huatian Level, three million contribution points, purchase permission: Yan Luo Level.

It has nine stages. Cultivating to Perfection ensures the Divine Soul is immortal and the Physical Body is indestructible.

“Nine Nether Underworld King Body, Upper Scroll,” Huatian Level, five million contribution points, purchase permission: Yan Luo Level.

The Physical Body can become semi-solid and semi-illusory, ignoring physical attacks. Cultivating to Perfection allows summoning a Yan Luo Law Manifestation to suppress the eight directions.

“Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Sutra, Upper Scroll,” Huatian Level. The complete version is suspected to be a Divine-Grade Cultivation Technique, seven million contribution points.

This Cultivation Technique integrates myriad Dao, using the power of the Divine Elephant to suppress all evil beings in the heavens. The Cultivator needs to use their body as a prison, refining evil demons of heaven and earth for their own use. One roar can split the sky, one stomp can shake mountains and rivers.

Its core Profound Truth: one elephant, one Hell. It awakens eight hundred and forty million Hell particles within the body. When these particles revive, their power is unfathomable.

It uses evil to suppress demons, devouring demons, evil spirits, and other extremely evil beings, refining Suppressing Prison Divine Lightning, and tempering an indestructible demonic body.

Yin and Yang are reversed, borrowing the power of extreme Yin to push back and create a pure Yang body, allowing the Physical Body to Breakthrough the Law restrictions.

This Cultivation Technique is extremely difficult to Cultivate. It not only requires extremely high innate talent for comprehension but also massive resource assistance. Only by devouring demons can one effectively advance. Cultivators must consider carefully.

“This Cultivation Technique is fierce!”

Chu Jiang looked at this Physical Body Cultivation Technique with great enthusiasm; just its introduction was already incredibly impressive.

Devouring demons to become stronger—this was practically tailor-made for him.

Even if he tried to fuse this type of Cultivation Technique from lower-level Cultivation Techniques, it might not work, so he directly added it to his cart.

“Right, there’s also movement techniques.”

Chu Jiang’s eyes flickered slightly. However, there were no movement techniques in the fifth layer that caught his eye, so he directly spent 500,000 to buy four Qiankun Level movement techniques from the third layer of the market to fuse them.

He would then fuse them with the Huatian movement technique he obtained from the Imperial Capital to form a pseudo-Heaven-Reaching Martial Art.

Chu Jiang spent another 800,000 to buy several Heaven and Earth Realm saber techniques.

He looked at his balance; he still had over twenty million, which he couldn't possibly spend all of.

Continue.

Fourth-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill, capable of cleansing the bones and marrow for martial artists, eighty thousand contribution points.

“Buy!”

Exotic Beast Immortal Dew, the favorite ration of beasts, can increase cultivation...

“Buy!”

...

As Chu Jiang was spending contribution points, an item caught his attention, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. “They even sell black mirrors here?”

The power of the black mirror was beyond doubt; it could communicate regardless of distance, far more Advanced than a thousand-mile sound transmission talisman. Currently, no message interruptions had been discovered.

Yan Luo Level: three free, limited to nine purchases, 200,000 contribution points each.

This should be a special benefit for Yan Luo Level. 200,000 contribution points probably wasn’t even a fraction of the black mirror’s true value.

Without further ado, he bought it directly.

After a series of purchases, thirty million had dwindled to only ten million.

Chu Jiang scrolled his finger to the intelligence query section to inquire about Ye Lingkong’s whereabouts.

That guy had been missing for so long, with no news.

A moment later.

“Ye Lingkong, former Yun Province Pacification Commissioner, is currently located within the Sun Moon Country. Half a month ago, he was suspected of entering the Heavenly Azure Sacred Ground within the Sun Moon Country.”

Heavenly Azure Sacred Ground?

Chu Jiang frowned.

The Heavenly Azure Sacred Ground was controlled by the Sun Moon Country’s royal family. How did Ye Lingkong, an outsider, get in?

No wonder the Jianmu Divine Tree said he was a person of great Luck, surviving a hundred calamities.

After things here were settled, he would go bring him back.

On the third day, at noon.

Rumble!

Dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, and lightning flashed.

In just a moment, the Lightning Tribulation descended from the sky, first a single bolt, then a large torrent of lightning, tearing through the Void Realm.

Fu Yunxuan stood proudly in the Void Realm, cold as frost, surrounded by fire Phoenixes. The fire Phoenixes cried out to the heavens, battling the Lightning Tribulation. After being purified by the fire Phoenixes, the Lightning Tribulation transformed into pure energy, surging into her body.

“This Nine Revolutions Barrier-Breaking Pill actually has protective effects?”

Chu Jiang looked at the sky. He had prepared many backup plans for her, but it seemed they wouldn't be needed. This three-patterned Nine Revolutions Barrier-Breaking Pill was indeed a rare Divine Pill.

Finally, after experiencing four stages of Lightning Tribulation, the vast dark clouds dispersed.

The world returned to light.

Fu Yunxuan’s Realm, refined by the Nine Revolutions Barrier-Breaking Pill and the power of the Lightning Tribulation, had Broken Through to Rongtian Three.

She was only a hair's breadth away from the fourth stage.

Being able to Breakthrough to the third stage was already very strong.

After all.

Fu Yunxuan had not comprehended a Law Domain.

Chu Jiang could directly Breakthrough to the ninth stage entirely because of his Law Domain’s seventh stage. There was still a considerable gap between the two.

“Thank you, Your Excellency!”

Fu Yunxuan cupped her hands, an undisguised smile on her face. The difference between the Rongtian Realm and the Heaven and Earth Realm was too vast. With just a slight mobilization, she could crush a dozen of her former selves.

No wonder so many people fought tooth and nail, risking their lives to advance to the Rongtian Realm.

If not for His Excellency, Breakthrough to the Rongtian Realm in this world would be virtually impossible.

“Mm, let’s go.”

Chu Jiang nodded slightly, sweeping his hand to retrieve the human emperor banner, and the two quickly departed.

...

Dian Prefecture, Sacred Mountain.

In the Yan Luo Temple, King Taishan was already waiting, carrying the items Chu Jiang had purchased.

“King Taishan, sorry to have kept you waiting!”

Chu Jiang said softly.

“No matter. You are now the bedrock of our Yan Luo Temple. Let alone waiting a day, I would wait a year.”

King Taishan said with a faint smile.

“However, the Yan Luo Temple currently only has three black mirrors in stock, and we are still replenishing. This item only exists in the ancient Qinling Heavenly Palace, and it’s not yet time for it to open.”

As soon as he finished speaking.

Three black mirrors, as well as various Cultivation Techniques, martial arts, beast rations, Marrow Cleansing Pills, and other resources purchased by Chu Jiang, filled over a hundred treasure boxes.

“Right, if you have time, please come to the headquarters. King Guang of Qin wants to meet you.”

King Guang of Qin wants to meet him?

“No problem!”

Chu Jiang agreed without much thought. To be honest, he was also curious about King Guang of Qin’s identity—who exactly was he?

Someone who could control such a vast intelligence network and even mobilize the Imperial Old Ancestor.

After delivering the items, King Taishan promptly left, not lingering there.

Now was the time to fuse Cultivation Techniques, Dual Cultivation of Law and body, to deduce them to their extreme.

Chu Jiang entered the Sacred Mountain, brought up his panel, and entered the Fusion module.

“Multiple martial arts found that can be fused. Fuse them?”

“Yes!”

[Fusing movement martial arts... process omitted]

After a series of Fusions, “Blood Shadow Escape Heaven Art” and the Imperial Capital movement technique “Nine Heavens Cloud-Treading Steps” were fused.
