🕑 Added 2023-06-24 00:01:01 +0000 UTC
"Unity and support, these are the cornerstones amongst our sect members!"
Jiang Chen offered a subtle smile. With a simple wave of his hand, he effortlessly sliced the demonic beast of the Inquiring Journey realm into several pieces before stowing them away.
Immediately after storing them, he harnessed the Wordless Heavenly Jade to completely deplete its qi and blood!
"Holy Son!"
"That demonic beast... it's been tainted by the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi..."
The deacon of the Holy Land turned a tad anxious at the sight of Jiang Chen storing the body of the demonic beast.
A tainted beast, and all various materials harnessed from it, would deteriorate, losing their original worth. Furthermore, the covert Nether Demon Spiritual Qi permeating it rendered it utterly unusable.
However, he was not allowed to complete his sentence, as he was abruptly interrupted by Jiang Chen.
"No matter, the corrosion of the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi holds no fear for me."
"Furthermore, should anyone become corrupted, I have the ability to heal them. Therefore, everyone can fight without restraint; there is no need to hold back!"
"Additionally, these demonic beast remains left scattered about present a significant hazard. They need to be removed."
"Moreover, I have a method to make these demonic beast corpses somewhat useful. Everyone, gather these corpses and hand them over to me later!"
Jiang Chen was now openly requesting the corpses of the demonic beasts!
To influential figures like Ji Mingxiu and Mo Yu, his usage of these demonic beast corpses was perfectly natural, as he was under the guidance of a mighty figure from the Void Tribulation realm. It wouldn't raise eyebrows.
Now was the opportune moment for him to exhibit his prowess and build his reputation.
Therefore, he commenced collecting the demonic beast corpses for his personal use without any reservations!
"What! Holy Son possesses such a technique!"
"Wonderful, there's hope for my second junior brother who was just tainted by the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi!"
"Holy Son is even capable of exploiting these demonic beast corpses, such proficiency is truly remarkable!"
"..."
The crowd was abuzz, their faces painted with astonishment.
Even the three Elders at the Dao Comprehension realm, who were battling against the demonic beasts, glanced at Jiang Chen with surprise.
Were it not for their need to maintain focus on their opponents, they would undoubtedly pay more attention to Jiang Chen!
"Fellow sect members!"
"These demonic beasts dare to assault our Purple Heaven Holy Land. It's akin to ants attempting to shake a tree. Stand with me and let's eradicate them!"
Jiang Chen cast his gaze around at everyone, clutching the Peerless Sky Piercing Sword, and instantly rushed at one of the Inquiring Journey realm demonic beasts.
"Attack, attack, attack!"
"Let's show these tainted beasts our strength!"
"Hahaha, with the Holy Son backing me, I fear no corruption. Attack!"
"..."
Each of the powerhouses from the Holy Land subsequently unleashed their even more potent combat power.
Promptly, one by one, the demonic beasts emitted sorrowful screams as they dropped one after the other!
With thunderous thuds, bodies as large as small hills tumbled to the ground, their blood spilling out like cascades, pooling into veritable lakes!
Then, these corpses were swiftly disassembled by the Holy Land cultivators and placed into storage artifacts, all set to be handed over to Jiang Chen.
Under Jiang Chen's spirited encouragement, the previously deadlocked battlefield began to slowly tilt in favor of the Holy Land cultivators.
The cultivators who had followed Jiang Chen also arrived, entering the conflict one after another, tipping the balance of victory even more in their favor.
Jiang Chen, brandishing the Peerless Sky Piercing Sword, relentlessly felled demonic beasts, and utilized the Wordless Heavenly Jade to consume their qi and blood.
As for the qi and blood dispersed in the atmosphere, he paid it no heed.
Although the risk of being discovered while covertly absorbing was extremely minimal, the amount of qi and blood was simply too trifling.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Chen had vanquished a full count of ten Inquiring Journey realm demonic beasts.
The remaining Inquiring Journey realm demonic beasts were also collectively exterminated by the Holy Land cultivators who had managed to liberate their hands, felled one after another.
At this juncture, all of the Inquiring Journey realm demonic beasts on the entire battlefield had been eradicated!
The Wordless Heavenly Jade had absorbed the qi and blood from a full ten Inquiring Journey realm demonic beasts, transmuting it all into a unique energy!
Jiang Chen didn't immediately embark on practicing any cultivation method.
Rather, he continued his slaughter of the Heavenly Origin realm demonic beasts!
If it took him only a handful of moves to eliminate Inquiring Journey realm demonic beasts, then dispatching Heavenly Origin realm demonic beasts was as effortless as squashing ants.
With a single sweep of his sword, the sword Qi transformed into a thread, instantaneously piercing through dozens of Heavenly Origin realm demonic beasts!
The remaining Inquiring Journey realm cultivators also engaged rapidly, exhibiting swift maneuvers.
Soon, only three Dao Comprehension realm demonic beasts remained on the entire battlefield.
The gap between the Inquiring Journey realm and the Dao Comprehension realm was vast, thus everyone was reluctant to haphazardly join the combat.
At this moment.
"Everyone!"
"Come to me, all of you. I intend to extract the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi from the disciples who've been corrupted!"
"For the disciples who haven't been corrupted, I wish to examine you too, just as a precaution!"
Jiang Chen's voice echoed across the battlefield, crisp and resonant, pleasing to the ears.
"Holy Son, please save my second brother!"
An Inquiring Journey realm cultivator, holding another restrained disciple, stepped forward, his face awash with anxiety.
"Holy Son, I've been tainted! Ah, I can hardly hold on anymore!"
There were also disciples long corrupted by the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi, teetering on the brink of losing their sense of self.
"Quick, quick, quick!"
Jiang Chen swiftly stepped forward as well, unveiled all kinds of natural treasures, and in combination with the secret art, the Nether Qi Extraction Secrets, he commenced extracting the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi from those who had been tainted.
His speed was staggering!
In less than ten breaths, he could purge the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi from a cultivator's body.
When the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi was extracted from the first cultivator, everyone was flabbergasted and lost for words.
Even the three Dao Comprehension realm Elders, who were fending off the demonic beasts' onslaughts, cast several additional glances at Jiang Chen, their eyes brimming with shock and delight!
In the blink of an eye, all the disciples tainted by the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi were rescued by Jiang Chen.
Immediately, cultivators lined up one after another before Jiang Chen, their eyes filled with grateful tears, all ready to labor tirelessly, to serve as diligent attendants and devoted helpers.
Next was the examination of the remaining individuals who appeared normal for the time being.
Upon inspection, a handful of cultivators were discovered to have Nether Demon Spiritual Qi within their bodies, though they had not yet exhibited any symptoms.
These cultivators were terrified in retrospect. Had it not been for Jiang Chen, they likely would have remained ignorant of their infection until it was already too late!
Consequently, another group of people overflowed with gratitude towards Jiang Chen.
In a brief span of time, Jiang Chen had gathered a significant number of loyal followers from the Holy Land!
In addition to this, he had also procured numerous storage artifacts filled with the corpses of demonic beasts!
These storage artifacts contained at least hundreds of Heavenly Origin realm demonic beasts, along with seven to eight Inquiring Journey realm demonic beasts.
Upon securing the storage artifacts, Jiang Chen promptly submerged his divine sense into them covertly, utilizing the Wordless Heavenly Jade to absorb the qi and blood from these bodies.
In an instant, the energy within the Wordless Heavenly Jade surged once more!
"Fellow sect members!"
"I've suddenly gained some insights from the battle. Please protect me!"
Jiang Chen abruptly seated himself cross-legged on the ground, giving the impression that he had entered a state of cultivation.
"The Holy Son has had a breakthrough?!"
"Wow, as expected of the Holy Son, attaining enlightenment after just one battle, truly formidable!"
"Quick, quiet down and ensure his protection, don't disturb the Holy Son!"
"..."
The Holy Land cultivators initially displayed shock, then broke into ecstatic expressions as they extended their protective barriers to guard Jiang Chen in his cultivation.
In truth, Jiang Chen hadn't experienced any sudden enlightenment; rather, he was preparing to exercise cultivation methods with the Wordless Heavenly Jade!
This time, he planned to practice the Dao Comprehension realm cultivation methods.
Jiang Chen had a total of twenty-seven such realm cultivation methods!
Seven of them were procured from the secret realm in the Everflowing Truth Northern Domain, while the remaining twenty were gradually acquired from individuals like Ji Mingxiu and Mo Yu from the Purple Heaven Holy Land.
After some deliberation, Jiang Chen selected a Dao Comprehension sword technique known as the 'Heaven Sundering Rainbow Sword Technique'.
Unlike the Silent Annihilation Heavenly Sword Secrets, which was a single-strike decisive victory type, this sword technique was intricate with as many as ninety-nine moves, making it suitable for prolonged battles!
'Let's begin!'
Jiang Chen thought to himself, starting to recall the specifics of the Heaven Sundering Rainbow Sword Technique.
