Realm-Hopping Martial Master-Chapter 795 - 439: The Game and Its Pieces, Stepping Beyond the Board (Part 2)
Among the Eight Great Sects, some True Disciples are closing their doors for cultivation.
Although entering the Ancient Demon Sect Relics might turn them into pawns, with the possibility of perishing, the gains are rare and immense. The great battle has reached the point where even they have personally witnessed the fall of various Nirvana Realm True Monarchs.
To control one’s own life and death, they can only ascend to the Vientiane Realm!
Heavenly Puppet Sect territory.
Wenren Ping has also entered a closed-door state. Although his realm is still just the Early Stage Nirvana Realm, for the disciples of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, combat strength is not determined simply by realm. His puppet has already been refined to the Heavenly Rank Middle Stage. Once further progressed, he can contend against Nirvana Realm Late Stage True Monarchs.
Moreover, led by the sect’s First True Inheritor.
In this game, they should also have the ability to protect themselves.
"I wonder how Brother Jiang is faring now..."
The image of Jiang Shu involuntarily flashed in his mind. Although Wenren Ping advanced to the Nirvana Realm earlier than Jiang Shu, Cang Mang Domain does not prioritize the earlier ones; those who come later often surpass. Jiang Shu now, whether in realm or strength, likely far exceeds him.
If not for the short time spent in cultivation, Jiang Shu might truly hold the position of True Martial Sect’s First True Inheritor.
Even Lu Chong and Lu Dayuan would not be his match.
It’s a pity that the cultivation time is still too short.
Born at the wrong time...
Wenren Ping thought to himself. Although the Heavenly Puppet Sect and True Martial Sect have always had connections, news about someone like Jiang Shu is highly confidential. Even as a True Disciple, he doesn’t know the specific details, just suspects that Jiang Shu might have gone to the Ancient Demon Sect Relics.
Perhaps Jiang Shu also wants to try his luck by entering early. Any gains inside would allow further advancement in strength.
"Vientiane Realm..."
Wenren Ping sighed, knowing only upon reaching Nirvana Realm how difficult it really is to advance to the Vientiane Realm.
His thoughts gradually sank, entering cultivation. He wanted to seize all available time, continually refining himself. Although it was tough to break through at the critical moment to reach Nirvana Realm Middle Stage, as long as the connection with his Heavenly Rank Puppet deepens, his combat strength could still showcase its value in the Ancient Demon Sect Relics.
The True Disciples of the Eight Great Sects are indeed like this.
The Nirvana Realm powerhouses of the Demon Sect, the Transformation Realm princes of the Demon Race, and the Transformation Realm Commanders, all adjusting their states to the best.
Approaching the moment when the great array outside the relic is broken.
The entire Endless Sea Domain is filled with battles between the Nirvana Realm Middle Stage True Monarchs.
Heaven and earth rumble, thunder roars, tides surge.
Inside the relics.
Jiang Shu, who is now refining the soul of Elder Soul Devourer and the Kunpeng Demon Wings, naturally knows nothing about the happenings outside.
Having completely entered the state, the elixirs burst into oceans of energy around him, rapidly absorbed, with the drug power surging into each acupoint, Primordial Power continuously rushing to the soul.
The three Holy Embryos within his body breathe unceasingly.
"Great Void Heart Scripture" steadies his spirit to prevent being shaken for a single moment by the counterattack of Elder Soul Devourer.
Although, for Jiang Shu, Elder Soul Devourer poses no threat and can’t kill him anymore.
If his mind is even slightly unstable, it’s extremely easy for Elder Soul Devourer to find an opportunity to self-detonate or escape, rendering all his current refinement efforts in vain, and even the status of the Kunpeng Demon Wings might deteriorate.
"Jiang..."
Inside the Space Cage, Elder Soul Devourer silently wails, cursing in pain and begging for mercy, but none of the sounds reach Jiang Shu. All there is are strands of Primordial Power, strands of spiritual power, and strands of Great Dao Embryos intertwining.
After Elder Soul Devourer’s soul, a faint Soul Devouring Dao emerges, allowing Jiang Shu to see more Great Dao-related insights.
"Regarding devouring, there isn’t much of value, but in terms of the soul, it’s somewhat significant."
Jiang Shu remains unmoved, refining the Quasi-Tao Artifact Kunpeng Demon Wings while comprehending the Soul Great Dao based on the Soul Devouring Dao.
Although he has decided to comprehend the Power Dao to ascend to the Vientiane Realm.
The other Great Daos cannot be neglected.
After all, no one has ever stipulated that only one Great Dao can advance during the ascension to the Vientiane Realm!
Combining with one Great Dao, and combining with two Great Daos, combining with three Great Daos, the enhancements brought are undoubtedly different!
Although doing so will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of ascending to the Vientiane Realm.
But for himself, it’s worth trying! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
His foundation is much thicker than many can imagine!
"Power Dao... Devouring Dao... Blood Essence Dao... Soul Great Dao..."
"These four Great Daos of comprehension should temporarily reach their limits. Later, I can visit the Star Ruins Realm to see if there are related cultivation notes or consult Luo Venerable."
"The Vientiane Realm Daoist Monarch left changes to Dao, Puppet Dao, Yin Corpse Dao inside the Demon Sect relic, which isn’t much help to me. Only Change Dao might be worth some comprehension."
Jiang Shu murmured, acknowledging that his mastery of Divine Power of Heaven and Earth comes from the Blood Essence Dao and Change Dao.
If he can comprehend a part of the Change Dao from this Great Tomb, it is a great enhancement to his Divine Power of Heaven and Earth.
Through long periods of refinement, the light of the Kunpeng Demon Wings becomes increasingly intense, with two dense Great Dao Embryos, now including a Soul Devouring Dao Embryo, stripped from the Elder Soul Devourer’s soul. Elder Soul Devourer, under Jiang Shu’s refinement, is becoming more conscious and blurred.
"It’s a pity to completely obliterate him, leave him in the Kunpeng Demon Wings. If the Kunpeng Demon Wings later birth an Artifact Spirit, it can devour Elder Soul Devourer’s soul and further grow."
"After all, Elder Soul Devourer possesses some Divine Skills highly suitable for Kunpeng Demon Wings, which are quite influential to the Artifact Spirit. Just not meaningful to me."
Inside the Great Tomb, there is no sense of time passing.
Unknowingly, Jiang Shu’s hands form seals, with the Netherworld Water suspended above him, rows of Netherworld Soul-Washing Seal rapidly unleashed.
Having now undergone a period of bitter cultivation in the Netherworld Water, Jiang Shu possesses deeper comprehension of the Netherworld Soul-Washing Seal compared to when Elder Soul Devourer’s soul was at its peak, despite it only being a Heavenly Rank Divine Power, naturally unimpactful.
But now, Elder Soul Devourer’s soul is already fuzzy, as though a candle flickering in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment.
Combining the Netherworld Water, it’s fully capable of washing away a portion of his soul.
"Ah... finally accomplished..."
Slowly exhaling, long periods of refinement have left Jiang Shu’s Primordial Power and spiritual power depleted, and his injuries, due to lack of timely treatment, are distinctly painful.
But as the Kunpeng Demon Wings appeared behind him, as he felt the stronger power in the Kunpeng Demon Wings post-refinement, all the efforts had been worth it.
Through refinement, the Kunpeng Demon Wings not only increased their devouring power beyond before but also gained additional suppression over souls.
During battles, it can devour souls faster, converting them into Dao Pattern power, activating the Great Dao Embryos within.
"I was thinking of comprehending the Change Dao, but now it seems the time is too short. I’ll return to the Eternal Tower for some recovery for a while first."
Glancing at the operating Great Dao Embryos near the passage, Jiang Shu shook his head, his body vanished, instantly escaping from the Ancient Demon Sect Relics, appearing within the Fifth Floor of the Eternal Tower.
Sitting cross-legged, surrounded by flickering stars.
Jiang Shu absorbs the Cosmic Origin Power around, with his acupoints gradually repairing.
Inside the Great Tomb, facing the Change Dao at the passage, though confident to comprehend part of it and enter the second layer, this remains the Ancient Demon Sect Relics.
Unknown what means the Vientiane Realm Daoist Monarch might leave within the second layer.
He is in an injured state. Being slightly cautious wouldn’t be wrong.
