114: Having mastered all ten profound mysteries, he encountered the Witch Clan.
【Year 1: You comprehended the Realm Heart Profound Truth, successfully grasping a trace of the Profound Truth of Gold.】
【Year 2: You continued to comprehend, and the level of the Profound Truth of Gold slowly increased.】
【Year 3: Continued to comprehend.】
【Year 800: You elevated the Profound Truth of Gold to Perfection, reaching the first level of the Profound Truth of Gold.】
...【Year 1800: You elevated the Profound Truth of Earth to Perfection, reaching the first level of the Profound Truth of Earth.】
...【Year 2800: You elevated the Profound Truth of Fire to Perfection, reaching the first level of the Profound Truth of Fire.】
...【Year 9800: You elevated the Profound Truth of Darkness to Perfection, reaching the first level of the Profound Truth of Darkness.】
【Year 10,000: You successfully integrated ten attribute Profound Truths into the Ten Directions Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, solidifying an Emperor-Grade Divine Ability.】
...【Year 12,000: You comprehended the Spatial Profundity to Minor Achievement.】
Li Jiangchen opened his eyes, his aura fluctuating, subtly surrounded by various Profound Truths.
"It took ten thousand years, but I finally Cultivated it. Unfortunately, beyond the Perfection of Profound Truths, further comprehension is impossible."
Similar to the Nine Heavens of Martial Saint, Profound Truths are also divided into nine levels.
But even within the Realm Heart, without relying on an enlightenment stone, comprehending a single attribute Profound Truth to the first Heaven's Perfection is the limit.
Furthermore, the Spatial Profundity ranks above the ten other Profound Truths, being extremely mysterious and elusive; Minor Achievement is the limit for comprehension without external aid.
For this, Li Jiangchen spent a full thousand years of Demon cultivation, yet made no progress, which is why he gave up on further comprehension.
"That's enough." Li Jiangchen absorbed the Demon Kingdom, broke out of seclusion, and looked left and right, then shook his head.
Without iconic landmarks, it was difficult to pinpoint his current location.
"Alright, I'll just search around."
The Origin of the Realm Heart is rich, giving birth to countless Heaven And Earth Treasures, including treasures that accelerate the condensation of a nascent dharma form, named Heavenly Spirit Flower.
Suddenly, a Blood Wind (foul wind) swept by, and a 'branch' resembling withered wood on an ancient tree suddenly opened its gaping maw, attacking Li Jiangchen.
It was actually a snake-type Yao Beast, with a terrifying aura, having reached the Pseudo-Saint level.
Clang! A sword light flashed, the snake's head separated, Sword Qi annihilated its body, the Demon Kingdom captured its soul, feeding both its Divine Soul and inner core to the demon soul.
【Killed Pseudo-Saint Snake Demon *1, gained 35,000 years of Demon cultivation.】
"Even a random Snake Demon without sentience is at the Pseudo-Saint level. The strength of the natives of this Realm Heart is probably beyond what I imagined."
Li Jiangchen's feet glowed with an escaping light, and he then vanished from his original spot.
A moment later, an ancient flower, entirely like emerald jade with nine eye-shaped petals, appeared before his eyes.
"nine-eyed heavenly spirit flower, at least ten thousand years of medicinal power, just what I need." Li Jiangchen's face lit up with joy.
In just half a day, he had collected many Spirit Medicines that had long been extinct in the outside world, and the age of almost every Spirit Medicine was over ten thousand years.
Seeing the treasure before him, Li Jiangchen did not rush forward, but instead commanded the Demon Flood Dragon King to transform into a shadow and go collect it.
Treasures that are born naturally have Spirit Beasts guarding them.
He had encountered quite a few before.
Boom—
Just as the shadow formed by the Demon Flood Dragon King wandered within ten zhang of the nine-eyed heavenly spirit flower, a strange Chicken-Snake with a fleshy crest on its forehead burst out from underground. Its giant beak-like mouth was full of sharp teeth, and it suddenly opened, emitting an endless suction force.
The shadow formed by the Demon Flood Dragon King was unable to escape for a moment, seemingly bound by it.
The next moment, a sword light flashed, and the strange Chicken-Snake was decapitated, turning into a sky full of blood mist.
【Killed Pseudo-Saint Chicken-Snake *1, gained 23,000 years of Demon cultivation.】
The shadow transformed into a large hand, plucking the nine-eyed heavenly spirit flower.
"Master." The Demon Flood Dragon King respectfully offered it.
Just as Li Jiangchen reached out, a poisoned arrow suddenly shot from behind him. Li Jiangchen's figure flickered, disappearing from his original spot.
Hiss! The arrow shot into the ground, immediately emitting a sizzling sound, and the ground rapidly turned black, spreading outwards.
"What potent poison, it must have been refined from at least a Pseudo-Saint poisonous creature." Li Jiangchen's Spiritual Sense spread out, quickly discovering several figures hidden ten li away.
They were clad in beast robes, with sturdy and imposing figures, well-defined muscles, and painted faces. Their exposed arms and backs displayed strange Flying Serpent Totems.
"Finally encountered natives..."
His Spiritual Sense burst forth, quickly locking onto the strongest aura among them, that of a native man almost comparable to a Sub-Saint.
Immediately, that Sub-Saint native man's expression changed, and he let out a string of gibberish and strange cries, leading the others to flee at top speed.
"Specializing in Body Refining, I didn't expect their Divine Soul perception to be quite strong..."
Li Jiangchen sneered, and an escaping light appeared under his feet.
Since they made a move against him, they must be prepared to die.
In an instant, the Immortal Sword Domain spread, a mountain-like pressure covered them, and the few natives immediately felt as if they had fallen into a quagmire. Only the Sub-Saint native was slightly better off, his blood Qi surging, and he suddenly tore off his beast robe, revealing the Flying Serpent Totem on his back.
Under the stimulation of his blood Qi, the Flying Serpent Totem actually manifested, its snake tongue flicking, continuously boosting the strength of the Sub-Saint native.
Suddenly, the snake tongue trembled, and the Sub-Saint native abruptly looked towards a certain treetop.
Clang! A golden light streaked past, and boundless sharpness instantly cut off the Sub-Saint native's head. The extremely active blood Qi squirmed, subtly attempting to reunite the head and body, but was completely annihilated by the destructive Sword Qi.
With each arrival of Sword Qi, a head flew off, and in the blink of an eye, only the weakest young native remained.
"Chahe, you can't die, you've just become a great totem warrior, you haven't even killed the mongrels of the Jinshan Tribe and avenged your father, you can't die! Ahhh!"
The remaining young native, covered in mud, desperately fled outwards.
Suddenly, he felt his body lighten, and the heavy pressure on his shoulders disappeared. His heart immediately filled with joy, and he fled at extreme speed.
Whoosh! A figure appeared on the ground. Li Jiangchen examined the corpse, seeing a totem engraved on the native's spine, resembling a flying snake with wings on its ribs.
"This totem seems to be a Body Refining secret art."
From this Flying Serpent Totem, Li Jiangchen felt a strong essence blood aura.
Now, he only needed to refine the nine-eyed heavenly spirit flower to condense a nascent dharma form and reach the God Viewing Grandmaster stage.
As for the three Pseudo-Saint levels, apart from Fate Reversal, which he hadn't yet grasped the knack of, the Undying Body and Perfect Profound Truths were already mastered.
On the other hand, his Body Refining path had now fallen behind.
If he could find a Body Refining system from these Witch Tribe members, he might be able to Break through to the Body Refining Martial Saint level.
"Did you remember that person's aura...?" Li Jiangchen said indifferently.
"Master, please rest assured. As long as that native doesn't leave a radius of a million li, he will be within the range of my Divine Ability perception," the Demon Flood Dragon King said.
Breaking through to the Sub-Saint level, the Demon Flood Dragon King's perception Divine Ability had a massive increase in power.
"Good."
Flying Snake Tribe.
Dozens of giant bronze cauldrons stood in the center, with raging fires burning beneath them. Inside the cauldrons, gelatinous spiritual liquid bubbled and churned, faintly revealing bones emitting pressure.
Around them, Witch Tribe women clad in beast robes continuously added firewood and beast bones.
To the side, dozens of Witch Tribe youths watched with anticipation.
The Witch Tribe refines their bodies by boiling bones and inscribing totems. Once successful, they can become great totem warriors, and their status within the tribe rises.
In the distance, the tribal chief, clad in black armor with a red crown on his head, smiled: "These past few days, we've continuously hunted three Lion Roaring Beasts. These are excellent Materials for boiling bones.
This time, our Flying Snake Tribe will birth at least several Great Witches."
Beside him, the Old Priest, with a painted face and feathers on his head, smoked his dry pipe, his eyes faintly revealing a gloomy look.
Lion Roaring Beasts appearing consecutively happened last three hundred years ago.
That time, the Flying Snake Tribe suffered a devastating calamity, almost severing its Legacy, leaving only a handful of tribesmen.
"According to the information circulating in Wuyuan City, Demons from Beyond the Heavens enter once every three hundred years. Counting the days, it's about time."
Just then, a figure ran over at extreme speed. Chahe was covered in blood and mud, his usually long breath almost exhausted.
"Chief, it's bad, Great Witch Chayi has been killed."
"What! Is it those mongrels from the Jinshan Tribe!" The black-armored chief was furious.
Chayi was the Flying Snake Tribe's Great Witch, second only to him, and one of the few, with combat power only below two or three others.
"No! From beginning to end, that person never showed themselves. At the time, I only felt a strange force field envelop us, followed by a strange golden sword light, and everyone died," Chahe said with a grim expression.
As soon as these words came out, the black-armored chief and the Old Priest exchanged glances, a hint of shock flashing in their eyes.
Suddenly, the Old Priest's brow twitched, a fierce look appeared in his eyes, and he violently struck Chahe's chest with his pipe, sending him flying dozens of zhang and spitting blood.
"Bastard, you've attracted the Demons from Beyond the Heavens!"
The next moment, the Immortal Sword Domain enveloped them, and a figure slowly revealed itself.
"Hand over your Body Refining method, or die!"
