Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

199: ”Ten Directions Overlord Record”As he finished speaking, heaven and earth seemed to respond to the call; the sky-high dark clouds dispersed, and the great sun hung high.

Qin Jiang stood up, ”Brother Jiang, that place is the Ling Xuan Sect in the Eastern Region, right?”

Jiang Yun was silent, looking like he wanted to say something but held back, ultimately not trying to persuade him further.

”Yes, that is one of the few neutral Holy Lands on the Zhongyuan Continent, with several True Immortals guarding it. But without a Sea Abyss boat, it will be very difficult for you to cross the Sea Abyss.”

”I will go,” Qin Jiang said, then walked towards Xu Yanran.

Noticing Qin Jiang approaching, Xu Yanran stopped what she was doing, ”Qin-ge, is something wrong?”

”Yanran, you all go first. I will go to the Zhongyuan Continent in a few days,” Qin Jiang said.

Xu Yanran was startled by his words, then immediately understood, and smiled slightly, ”Okay, husband, Yanran will wait for you.”

Qin Jiang was momentarily stunned, a look of apology in his eyes. He gently embraced Xu Yanran, ”Wait for me.”

With that, he raised his hand and condensed a ball of Devilish Qi into Xu Yanran’s body. This ball of Devilish Qi contained a part of his True Spirit, allowing her to display Peak power for a short period, enough to kill a True Immortal!

”I’m leaving. Wait for me to find you.”

Time flew, and three months passed in a blink.

In a certain valley within Liang Province of the Xia Country, Qin Jiang stepped out of the shadows, the sunlight illuminating his figure.

His gaze fell upon the panel:

【Current Martial arts】

Nine Provinces Overlord Cauldron (Perfection) [98%]

Taiyi Yuanzhen Longevity Sutra (Perfection) [95%]

【Potential Points: 26436.6】

Although he had already mobilized a lot of manpower to collect antiques and old items, and he had found the remaining three Ancient Yu Country ruins, he still didn’t have enough potential points to deduce the ”Nine Provinces Overlord Cauldron.”

It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought of going to Dragon Island, but currently, Dragon Island didn’t have a single Middle Stage True Immortal, and there were only four Initial Stage True Immortals.

Even if the Dragon Emperor could exert half-step Late-Stage strength with the Dragon Emperor Crown, it would be of no avail.

The power of thirteen True Immortals was enough to destroy Dragon Island at this time.

Shaking his head, he looked into the distance.

It was time to go back.

With this thought, he soared into the sky, flying towards the Imperial Capital.

It didn’t take long before he arrived above the Imperial City. At this time, there was no one left in the Imperial Capital; everyone had been sent to various places for resettlement.

After all, even True Gods would struggle to withstand the aftermath of Immortal Rank battles. If they didn’t relocate, the entire city’s populace would be shaken into blood foam the moment the battle began.

He landed on the city wall, standing silently, gazing at the Canglang River in the distance.

Starting from Dahei Mountain, passing through several large cities, it turned here at the Imperial City and went straight to the East Sea.

This river nurtured tens of millions of residents on both banks.

Once upon a time, he also embarked on the Martial arts Path from this river.

Shaking his head, he leaped down from the city wall and walked unhurriedly to the small courtyard where the Immortal Ancestor resided. The Immortal Ancestor had already set up a chessboard on the stone table in the courtyard.

”You’re back,” the Immortal Ancestor chuckled.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly, ”I’m back.”

”Let’s play a game.”

”Okay.”

After sitting down, Qin Jiang took the black pieces, and the Immortal Ancestor took the white pieces.

The pieces fell silently. In just half an hour, the game was already nearing its end. The black Dragon was in precarious straits, while the white Dragon was mighty, seemingly about to tear the black Dragon apart.

A few breaths later, Qin Jiang placed his last piece, shook his head gently, and smiled, ”I lost.”

The Immortal Ancestor also put down his white piece, but there was no joy after winning.

After a moment of silence, he spoke, ”Are you really decided?”

”How will I know if I don’t try?” Qin Jiang asked with a smile.

As he finished speaking, the sky suddenly became gloomy. In an instant, dark clouds covered everything, and the sun, which had just been shining on all things, was obscured by the clouds.

A light drizzle gradually began to fall in the courtyard, dampening the hair of both men.

”Back then, I followed Xia Yu to quell the sea disaster, define the Nine Provinces, and establish the Xia Imperial Dynasty.

Later, he ascended, and I lost my drive, remaining stagnant in the Initial Stage without making any progress. Now, I am finally going to follow him.”

The Immortal Ancestor’s voice was somewhat melancholic, yet also somewhat joyful.

Back then, he was just an ordinary young sapling of a sky-reaching tree, less than a meter tall, when he met Xia Yu, who was traveling the world.

Later, Xia Yu dug him out of the ground, originally intending to use him as a fire poker, but discovering that he had already developed some sentience, Xia Yu kept him by his side.

At that time, the Devilish Qi in heaven and earth had not yet dissipated, and demonic creatures ran rampant everywhere. The entire Divine Land was fragmented, separated by vast bodies of water.

He and Xia Yu went wherever they fought, almost staining the seas of the Divine Land red, and inexplicably became so-called heroes.

Later, it was nothing more than moving continental plates, straightening river channels, and slowly, the population grew. After that, the Xia Country was established on the most fertile land.

Looking back now, it was actually the general trend; someone always had to step forward, and he just happened to be by that person’s side.

Thinking of this, his eyes dimmed, because after the Xia Country was founded, Xia Yu quickly ascended.

Buzz~~~

A tremor emanated from outside the Imperial City; the sky-high dark clouds suddenly surged, and lightning flashed.

Thirteen Immortal Lights rose from all directions, pressing down with immense power.

”Will you win?” the Immortal Ancestor asked softly.

”I don’t know,” Qin Jiang replied.

The Immortal Ancestor nodded gently, a faint golden light emanating from his body, gradually becoming incandescent, carrying a rich Vajra aura.

Suddenly, the golden light enveloped Qin Jiang, and the pure Vajra power made Qin Jiang’s Physical Body even more resilient.

Qin Jiang’s eyes flickered, ”Why do you have to do this?”

His Physical Body was rapidly growing stronger, advancing towards the Middle Stage Peak.

The Immortal Ancestor shook his head and chuckled, ”I was born rooted in the great earth, growing towards the sky, bearing responsibility for the common people. If I can ultimately become your nourishment and die, isn’t that also a beautiful story?”

He raised his head, looking at the sky. The sun was obscured by thick dark clouds, making him feel a little regretful that he couldn’t see the sun again.

”Go, King Qin. Only by parting the clouds can you see the sun.”

As he finished speaking, his body suddenly exploded, and the divine iron rod fell to the ground, becoming dim and lusterless.

Qin Jiang sat silently before the stone table, then slowly rose and walked out of the courtyard.

Treading on air, his Physical Body strength continued to climb, approaching the half-step Late-Stage boundary. Even he felt his Physical Body somewhat bloated.

With a single step, he arrived at the top of the Xia Emperor Pavilion. This Xia Emperor Pavilion was rebuilt from the original site after the Ten Thousand Generations Hall collapsed, and it was the highest point in the current Imperial City.

He looked around. Thirteen Immortal Lights slowly arrived, revealing thirteen Immortal shadows. Each one exuded power no less than a Middle Stage True Immortal, and two of them were even comparable to the Dragon Emperor of that day.

He knew the names of these two: the Immortal Ancestor of Xiong Country and the Immortal Ancestor of Huai Country, two Middle Stage Peaks, who, with the blessing of their Immortal Artifacts, had almost reached the level of a half-step Late-Stage True Immortal.

”King Qin, you were given a chance, why didn’t you cherish it?”

The Immortal Ancestor of Huai Country sighed softly. The more he understood King Qin, the more he was startled and the more he felt it was a pity.

Given time, this King Qin would undoubtedly be an existence no less than the founding ancestor, Xia Emperor.

What a pity, what a pity.

Qin Jiang ignored him, feeling the overwhelming might of the thirteen True Immortals. He couldn’t help but look up.

The sky-high dark clouds pressed down, and heaven and earth were shrouded in gloom.

”Parting the clouds, then seeing the sun?”

He raised his hand, conjuring an ebony-gold palm that gradually grew enormous.

His five fingers plunged into the dark clouds, stirring them casually. A ray of golden light shone down, dispelling the gloom from heaven and earth.

The golden light fell upon the ebony-gold palm, and the ebony-gold color gradually receded, revealing a faint platinum hue. Platinum Qi currents also gradually surged from Qin Jiang’s body, dispelling the sky-high dark clouds.

【Ten Directions Overlord Record (Ninth Layer) (1600000 / 1800000) [99%]】

He withdrew his palm, casually scattering a seed that landed in the Imperial Palace courtyard and grew green shoots.

”You just watch from here. Watch the Xia Country become great once more.”
