Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 506 - 298: Heaven Rank Divine Skills, Integrating the Dao across Heaven and Earth - Part 2

With such spiritual power Talent, he should have cultivated in the Heavenly Puppet Sect. Alas, it’s too late now.

"If you desire more, I can arrange for a genius from our Heavenly Puppet Sect’s True Inheritor Seed List to duel with you," Lord Wan Gui continued. "If you win, the Divine Power is yours. If you lose, not only will that Divine Power be passed on to that disciple, but you will also have to offer something of equal value in exchange. Divine Skills, elixirs, Treasures—all are acceptable."

Once Lord Wan Gui finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Shu with a smile. The disciples of the Heavenly Puppet Sect did not venture out for training as often as those from the True Martial Sect. If Jiang Shu were to win such a bout, it would be a refining experience for the Heavenly Puppet Sect disciple, and I would have conveniently granted a favor. With such talent, his future prospects in reaching the Vientiane Realm are not worrisome. If a disciple of the Heavenly Puppet Sect were to win, it would also be an opportunity for me to gain some prestige in front of that old fellow, Lord Zi Ji. For me, there’s no loss either way.

"Then this junior will follow Senior Wan Gui’s arrangement," Jiang Shu said respectfully, bowing his head. If Lord Wan Gui had happened to mention that the "Heaven and Earth Vast Integration Puppet Technique" was among the randomly selected Divine Powers, he might have chosen it directly and left the Heavenly Puppet Sect.

With his current Divine Skills, adding the Five Elements Chaotic Thunder Tribulation Dragon Transformation Technique bestowed by Lord Zi Ji, he possessed sixty-nine. This new one would make it seventy. Even among the disciples of the Eight Great Sects, this number would undoubtedly rank him near the top. Furthermore, his seventy Divine Skills were almost all meticulously chosen; some less important ones he had cultivated in the past were completely discarded and refined into his Treasures. In his view, perhaps only the top Inner Sect Disciple of the Dao Yi Sect could truly challenge him in terms of Divine Skills. Eighty-one Divine Skills... I wonder how formidable that person’s Divine Skills are?

The thoughts in his mind vanished as quickly as they appeared. Dwelling on it was pointless. At the Divine Power Conference, he and that person were bound to have a peak confrontation.

The Earth Rank Divine Powers offered by Lord Wan Gui were all incredibly potent. Even some Nirvana Realm Monarchs would likely feel a touch of envy upon seeing them. For instance, one of them, an Earth Rank Divine Power called the Self and Puppet Reversal Skill, allowed a puppet to absorb a fatal blow on behalf of the cultivator when danger struck. It ranked almost among the top three Life-saving Divine Powers for Primordial Pill Realm True Men. Unfortunately, for the current Jiang Shu, perhaps only Nirvana Realm experts truly posed a threat to him. This Divine Power, unless cultivated to its Break Limit and elevated to the Heaven Rank, wasn’t of great significance. The one he truly coveted was that single Heavenly Rank Divine Power, the "Heaven and Earth Vast Integration Puppet Technique." And undoubtedly, to obtain this Divine Power, he would have to defeat at least nine geniuses from the True Inheritor Seed List! This was practically... like clearing the entire Inner Sect of the Heavenly Puppet Sect. However, before he even came to the Heavenly Puppet Sect, hadn’t the Peak Master already explained this situation? Never mind coming to the Heavenly Puppet Sect; even if he were to go to the Dao Yi Sect, the foremost of the Eight Great Sects, he would feel no fear.

Casually selecting one of the Earth Rank Divine Powers, Jiang Shu said no more.

Since he was prepared to clear them all anyway, he was determined to get all ten Divine Powers. Agonizing over which Earth Rank Divine Power to take first was pointless.

Lord Wan Gui, undoubtedly guessing Jiang Shu’s thoughts, nodded in satisfaction. Nine orbs of light shot out from the Cave Mansion, hanging and shining endlessly above the mountain peak like a series of eternal suns.

At the same time, numerous Puppets emerged from the Cave Mansion, transformed into streaks of light, and dashed to the other peaks of the Heavenly Puppet Sect’s Inner Sect.

Before half a day passed, almost all the Inner Sect Disciples knew of this wagered duel. Various messages were sent, and even the few Inner Sect Disciples who were away hurried back, all wanting to witness this grand event. It was clear that a talent who received such elaborate arrangements from Lord Wan Gui, this Brother Jiang from the True Martial Sect, was definitely no ordinary Primordial Pill Realm cultivator.

As time passed, Jiang Shu’s entire history within the True Martial Sect began to spread:

He was of ordinary Dynasty origin and had achieved the top result in the True Martial Ancient Hall, receiving Divine Skills and becoming a servant disciple of the True Martial Sect.

In less than a year, he condensed True Fire to become an Outer Disciple.

After that, he spent most of his time gaining experience outside, reportedly spending a long period in the Endless Sea.

While in the Furnace Fire Realm, he obtained the inheritance of Master Xuan Shui, which was only a small part of his known fortunes.

Upon his recent return to the Sect, his Cultivation surged from the late stage of the Furnace Fire Realm to the late stage of the Primordial Pill Realm within just a year.

With thirty-six Divine Skills, he formed his Primordial Pill; the Magic Drum sounded, and the Magic Conch blared.

Subsequently, he battled Zhou Yan from Sky Flame Peak—who was qualified for the True Inheritor Seed List—showcasing sixty-eight unparalleled Divine Skills. Even Zhou Yan, who wielded a Heavenly Rank Formation and a Heavenly Rank Treasure, was blasted from the Void.

He shook the Sect to its core.

"Geniuses are just so willful! Brother Jiang’s victory earned him the recognition of a Lord of Wanxiang Realm. This time, the Peak Master of Thunder Prison Peak sent him to our Heavenly Puppet Sect to pay respects to our Peak Master of Wan Gui Peak."

"Even our Peak Master of Wan Gui Peak from the Heavenly Puppet Sect has offered ten Divine Powers. I can’t imagine how many the Peak Master of the True Martial Sect gave him. Brother Jiang might have up to eighty Divine Skills now! I wonder how he compares to the top Inner Sect Disciple of the Dao Yi Sect?"

"We’ll find out when they compete! And who said our Peak Master of Wan Gui Peak gave out ten Divine Powers? He only offered one outright. The other nine depend on the strength of our Heavenly Puppet Sect’s Inner Sect geniuses! Lord Wan Gui is truly magnanimous, even putting up the ’Heaven and Earth Vast Integration Puppet Technique’!"
