chapter-207
As the flying ship landed, there were already people waiting in the port.
Several elders of the Demon Vanquishing Hall escorted the Golden Tooth Sect disciples away solemnly.
These unlucky fellows would be interrogated repeatedly and strictly. Coupled with special soul searching methods, they would dig out the images they had seen and engraved them into jade slips. That would be an important piece of evidence that they trusted the other sects.
Among these fellows, the one with the true value was the son of the Golden Tooth Sect Master, Zhang Zhaoxiong.
The methods of the Hundred Tempering Mountain were very secretive and efficient. The others in the Golden Tooth Sect did not know the reason for the sudden change in the sect. Their existence was only used as supplementary evidence.Jiang Li and the others were led into the Long Clear Hall.
Apart from the three who were not in the sect, the remaining Head Elders of the twelve halls were all standing there.
However, the higher-ups no longer had the mood to praise Jiang Li's genius.
In a short year, he broke through to the Foundation Establishment realm from nothing initially. He was indeed shockingly talented and the sect needed to nurture him seriously.
However, this matter concerned the calamity of the Hundred Tempering Mountain, a sect of the same level. Even the twelve Hall Masters standing at the top of the Great Mountain Region's cultivation world could not help but be moved.
When they were in Nightless City, they had already made a short report.
At this moment, Jiang Li and the others told him everything that had happened.If not for that troublemaker Zhang Zhaoxiong, who knew when the Hundred Tempering Mountain's plot would be exposed.
When he spoke about the damaged flying ship on the way back, Jiang Li took out a few pieces of debris.
On the way back, Jiang Li did not tell anyone about this guess. At that time, the few people from the Law Enforcement Hall were wondering why Jiang Li wanted to collect the remains. Jiang Li only said that he had discovered some things and did not say anything.
At this moment, Jiang Li crushed the wreckage of the flying ship in front of the Valley Master and the other peak masters. Immediately, the Fire Poison Pill Qi emerged.
The eyes of the Head Elder of the Alchemy Hall narrowed. He directly stretched out his hand and pulled out a wisp of Pill Qi. He squeezed it in his hand, and his expression instantly darkened like the bottom of a pot.
The Hundred Tempering Mountain had originally hidden the vicious methods of the alchemists very well, and their dirty deeds in the dark had never been discovered by outsiders. However, the birth of the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm had stimulated their endless ambitions, and they had revealed them during the Misty Mountain Range.
While many sects turned their attention to them, they were naturally wary of their methods.
"It's the Pill Qi of the Hundred Tempering Mountain!"
Swoosh!
As soon as these words were spoken, an extremely intense will of anger filled the Long Clear Hall. Under this anger, the surrounding air began to wail endlessly.
The Valley Master, Daoist Wushe, had his robe rolled up and he looked furious. He was expressionless, but it seemed like an angry person appeared behind him.
The two elders took a few steps forward and stood in front of the disciples.
However, even then, the disciples present felt dizzy and on the verge of collapse. Only Jiang Li could still stand firmly, but he still revealed a shocked expression.
He was certain that the Valley Master did not release his aura. He only displayed his anger, causing the surrounding winds and clouds to change.
This Valley Master's cultivation seemed to be above his master's!
After a long time, the surrounding air calmed down. It was no wonder that Daoist Wushe was so angry.
They directly attacked the group from the Scripture Storage Valley and wanted to stop them on the way. The Hundred Tempering Mountain did not have the slightest regret, nor did they take the Scripture Storage Valley seriously.
Since the founding of the sect for more than 270 years, had their Scripture Storage Valley ever been afraid of anyone?
If they could endure this, then the Scripture Storage Valley would be finished sooner or later.
Daoist Wushe immediately ordered everyone in the Scripture Storage Valley to prepare for battle.
All the elders came out of seclusion to prepare for the war. They recalled the sect disciples who were traveling outside and started to change the merchant ship and ships into warships… One by one, they were prepared to start a war against the outside world at any time.
Among them, the Demon Vanquishing Hall, which was an external armed force, was naturally the most important. Elder He's task was especially heavy.
However, the most important thing in this war was to rope in the other two top sects.
If the Scripture Storage Valley attacked alone, even if they won in the end, they would suffer great losses.
After some discussion, they finally decided that Daoist Wushe would be in charge of the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak.
As for Benevolent Travel Temple, it was handed over to the Head Elder of the Demon Vanquishing Hall, who was also a body cultivator and had a long history with them.
...
After coming out of the Long Clear Hall, Jiang Li naturally followed behind Elder He.
However, his good master, who he had not seen for a while, did not give him a good attitude today.
"Kid, you've grown up. You actually didn't return to the sect for such an important matter like Foundation Establishment."
Elder He was quite dissatisfied with Jiang Li's method of establishing his foundation outside alone.
What if something went wrong? Weren't there many cases of genius disciples accidentally dying while breaking through outside?
Moreover, Foundation Establishment was related to the Great Dao of Cultivation in the future. He could not be careless at all.
As the Head Elder of the Demon Vanquishing Hall, he had personally set up the Spirit-Gathering Array and Foundation Establishment Pill, waiting for this young disciple to return to undergo Foundation Establishment.
Who would have thought that this disciple would go to the wilderness to break through without saying a word?
Elder He was so angry that he really wanted to beat Jiang Li up.
Jiang Li was very helpless towards this. He knew that secretly establishing his foundation would definitely make his master angry.
However, he had too many secrets like the Yin Burial Coffin, the Nine Nether Wood, and the Asura Corpse. To reach the Foundation Establishment realm, he had decided to make a big move, so it was indeed inconvenient for others to be present.
However, he could not say this out loud. He could only admit his mistake properly. Elder He lectured him for a long time before reluctantly letting it go.
However, he was actually not that angry.
As his master, he definitely knew more about the extent of this little disciple's monstrous talent than anyone else. Perhaps letting this kid walk his own path was the right choice.
Perhaps in a few years, this kid would surpass him?
After teaching Jiang Li a lesson, Elder He turned around and sized up this disciple who grew much stronger every time they met.
He stretched out his hand and rolled up Jiang Li's right sleeve.
The Hundred Beast Blood Tattoo that covered the skin of his arm like dragon scales immediately appeared.
The faint aura of blood and killing on it could make people tremble in fear just by looking at it.
"Come, punch me." Elder He suddenly said.
When Jiang Li heard this, he could not help but be stunned.
Again?
The last time he heard this familiar request, it seemed like he had also come out of the Long Clear Hall.
At that time, he had just acknowledged his master and deeply experienced the wildness of Elder He. He did not expect to hear this request again today.
Jiang Li looked left and right. The disciples passing by were in groups of two or three. From time to time, someone would cast curious gazes at them.
Did he have to hit his master in public every time?
Once this spread, it would be reported by the news reporting disciples.
"Too cruel! A disciple actually beat up a hundred-year-old man on the streets!"
"The world is cold! A genius disciple of the Scripture Storage Valley actually beat up his Master for no reason!"
If that was the case, his reputation would be ruined.
"What are you waiting for? Do you think you can hurt me now?"
Unfortunately, Elder He, the Head Elder of the Demon Vanquishing Hall, who did not care about the opinions of outsiders, did not worry about that at all. He urged Jiang Li to attack again.
"This… Alright."
He could not disobey his master's orders.
Helpless, Jiang Li could only raise his fist.
This time, he did not pull away. He only stood on the spot and slowly tightened his muscles that were tougher than steel.
A ferocious aura slowly seeped out of his body. Before he could attack, the rock beneath his feet began to collapse under the cracking sounds.
On Jiang Li's right arm, the dragon scale-like blood tattoo began to release a bloody red light, as if there were flames burning on his hand.
In the next moment, the simplest was a straight punch.
Hundred Beast! Dragon Scale Arm!
Jiang Li did not hold back and suddenly punched his master in the chest.
Boom!
The rocks behind Jiang Li shattered into pieces. The force of the fist was like a speeding train as it bombarded Elder He's burly body.
A violent wind swept past. A small blade of grass behind Elder He swayed in the wind.
However, when the dust dispersed, the wind from the fist gradually stopped, and the grass was completely unharmed.
With Elder He as the starting point, on both sides of the blade of grass, the solid ground was ravaged by the fist force, creating two ravines on both sides.
However, under this kind of fist force, Elder He's figure did not waver in the slightest. He was like a rock in the torrent, splitting Jiang Li's fist force into two.
From the beginning to the end, Elder He did not reveal the slightest bit of strength. He just casually received Jiang Li's full force strike.
"Your fist is not bad. You're quite strong."
"This blood tattoo will allow you to have an easier path in the future. However, this method is still too dangerous. In the future, without me around, don't take risks."
Elder He pinched Jiang Li's arm. Even with Jiang Li's current muscles, he felt pain from the pinch. Obviously, there was still an insurmountable gap between him and his master.
Elder He saw through Jiang Li's Hundred Beast Blood Tattoo with a single glance. As a master of the Beast Blood Diagram, he naturally saw that Jiang Li used a lot of beast blood of high quality.
This kind of fused beast blood was very strong, and the Dao Foundation constructed was also astonishing. Just this punch with pure physical strength could reach the level of a Core Formation cultivator.
However, he was not blind. After reaching the Foundation Establishment realm, Jiang Li adjusted his body to a slender and well-proportioned state.
This was sufficient to prove that Jiang Li did not mainly focus on his body cultivation as the foundation. At the very least, the other powers he possessed would not lose to body refinement.
With such a disciple, he really could not ask for more.
However, he was still more concerned about the safety of this disciple.
"I understand, Master. It's just some beast blood and baneful aura. They can't cause any trouble."
Jiang Li was very confident in his Dao Foundation. He had a total of five foundations, Heaven, Earth, Spirit, Body and Qi. His current mental world was also powerful to the extreme.
It was basically impossible for ordinary beast blood to affect him, who was guarded in the center of the mental world.
"It's good to be confident, but you can't let your guard down."
Cultivating the Beast Blood Diagram, a secret technique that could infuse external objects into oneself, was always very dangerous. If one was careless and lost their mind due to their ferocity, it would be too late to regret.
Right now, Elder He was not worried about Jiang Li's growth speed, but he was afraid that such joy would turn into sadness if an accident occurred.
"Forget it. Go back and rest for two days. When your Senior Brother Xiang returns, follow us to Benevolent Travel Temple. This time, the two of you have to make me proud."
Elder He left after saying this, leaving Jiang Li alone on the spot to rub his wrist.
Senior Brother Xiang? Did he have a senior brother surnamed Xiang?
After all, Jiang Li had only entered the sect for a short period of time. Many famous disciples of the previous generation, such as Chu Yunxuan, were all out training. Once they went out, they would be gone for a few years. It was normal for him to not have seen them before.
However, what did it mean to make him proud?
In the past two days, Jiang Li had visited a few good friends one after another. He used his handsome face that was 1.8 meters tall to shock many senior sisters and junior sisters.
Yes, after Jiang Li advanced to the Foundation Establishment realm, the disciples who were also at the Foundation Establishment realm were still the same. According to their age, they were basically still senior brothers and sisters.
However, the original Senior Sister Little Four had already become Junior Sister Little Four. After all, her cultivation level was still at the Qi Refinement realm and she had yet to reach the Foundation Establishment realm.
After leaving the alchemy room where its owner was currently fuming, Jiang Li entered the Scripture Storage Pavilion.
Jiang Li convinced his master with the excuse that if he understood fiendish cultivators, he would be better prepared to deal with them.
With Elder He's approval, he finally came into contact with some records of the demonic cultivator sects.
There was information about the Corrupted Blood Cult and the Black Lotus Cult.
As he flipped through the large pile of books and records sealed in the Scripture Storage Pavilion, although Jiang Li was not born in that era, he could sense the cruelty of the cultivation world from the words.
At that time, the Great Mountain Region had not been united by the righteous path. The righteous and demonic paths were at odds.
Countless fiendish cultivation sects had committed countless sins and brought calamity to the world.
They established a cult and bewitched the people, making them kill each other and sacrifice their children.
According to the records, the number of mortals in the Great Mountain Region at that time was less than one tenth of what it was now. Those fiendish cultivators almost tortured the mortals in this region until they died.
It was the ancestors of the sects who had paid a heavy price and worked hard to eliminate the fiendish sects in the end. It took several generations before the population could barely recover.
At the very least, there was no demonic cultivation sect in the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region now. The remaining demonic cultivators were all silent now and rarely appeared in the cultivation world.
As he sighed about the past, Jiang Li really found something interesting in the records of the Black Lotus Divine Sect.
The Scripture Storage Valley and Shu Mountain needed to work together to deal with the Black Lotus Divine Sect. One could imagine how terrifying the power of this Demon Sect was back then.
In the records, the Black Lotus Divine Sect had a four-eyed, three-armed demon soldier and a two-headed, four-armed demon general. They were extremely dangerous and caused severe casualties to the two sects at that time.
However, according to the records, those demonic soldiers were bloodthirsty and crazy. They were irrational and could not transform back into human form.
This was different from the situation of the sword cultivator clone. Although the sword cultivator clone was ugly and had a bump on his back, he had not grown an arm.
Moreover, as long as he wore the black bracelet, he could still suppress the blood of madness and turn half of his body back to normal.
Perhaps the blood of madness had been forcefully interrupted by the death of the clone when it was transforming the body, causing the change to be incomplete, thus maintaining this subtle state.
Apart from that, Jiang Li flipped through the records and did not find any description of the asura's corpse.
Instead, in the records, it deliberately described a terrifying demonic artifact in vague words.
In fact, the Black Lotus Divine Sect had even used this to block the combined forces of the Scripture Storage Valley of the Shu Mountain Five Elements Peak.
After the other party was defeated, this demonic artifact was not destroyed. This was because if it was destroyed rashly, it might pollute a thousand miles of land and cause harm.
Therefore, it was decided that the upper echelons of both sides at that time would set up layers of seals on that thing and then hand it to the Dharma Masters of Benevolent Travel Temple to chant scriptures day and night to purify it.
Now, the demonic artifact was still sealed in Benevolent Travel Temple.
