Chapter 74: Demon-slaying Achievement Shocks Everyone

Chapter 74: Demon Slaying Achievements Shock All Present

Sending off the last batch of visiting family Old Ancestors, Jiang Li’s eyes were filled with a smile.

In just over ten days, most of the Cultivators in Jiangzhou had come to pay their respects, allowing the Cultivation Technique, “Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill,” to enjoy a round of worship, and ten portions of Imperial Dynasty Dragon Qi were condensed.

This efficiency was too high.

He seemed to have found the correct switch to activate this Body Refining method.

Instead of painstakingly trying to attract attention and stand out in Tianxuan Holy Land, it was better to travel through the Nine Heavens, using the title of a Tianxuan Holy Land Disciple to win people’s hearts.

He couldn’t even imagine how much Imperial Dynasty Dragon Qi he could collect if he could visit all sixty-four prefectural cities within the Piaomiao Dynasty’s territory. If combined with Power Of Will from incense, cultivating the Body Refining method to Major Achievement would be just around the corner.

The future was promising.

Once the Body Refining method reached Major Achievement, he could then naturally eliminate the Ten Thousand Demons Sect’s spies within the inner Sect, avoiding the risk of his identity being exposed.

With this thought,

Jiang Li had a plan in mind.

Afterward,

He began to organize the gifts he had received.

Most of them were Spiritual Plants or Spiritual Talismans suitable for the Qi Refining Stage.

These two were the most frequently used by low-level Cultivators.

Spiritual Plants could be refined into Medicinal Pills, and Spiritual Talismans could enhance one’s strength limit.

The number of Medicinal Pills was not large, mostly Low Grade Medicinal Pills, with few Medium Grade ones, and not a single High Grade Medicinal Pill was seen.

This was not because Cultivation Families or Cultivation Schools were stingy and unwilling to give good ones, but because the quality of Medicinal Pills in the secular world was just that; Medium Grade Medicinal Pills were already the best Cultivation resources they could obtain.

Regarding this,

Jiang Li was not surprised.

However, his appetite had been spoiled by the various top-grade Medicinal Pills Li Xi had fed him, so these ordinary Medicinal Pills simply couldn’t catch his eye.

Next were Spirit Stones.

These were the hard currency of the Cultivation world.

They were applicable everywhere.

Jiang Li poured out the Spirit Stones, making a clattering sound.

A large pile of sparkling, crystal-clear jade stones formed a small mountain, and even Jiang Li’s composure couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.

He swept his Divine Sense over them and found there were exactly thirty-four thousand eight hundred pieces.

Jiangzhou Cultivators still had some foundation.

All these Spirit Stones combined could buy a good quality second-tier Spirit Treasure.

Besides that,

The biggest gains were two auxiliary Spiritual Artifacts.

Named “Flying Sword Hairpins.”

One white and one green.

One was forged from Nine Heavens Profound Ice Iron; the hairpin body was as white as jade, cool to the touch, and the hairpin head was carved into the shape of a Phoenix, with the Phoenix’s beak holding a sword-shaped cold dew, emitting a faint blue halo under the sunlight.

The other was forged from thousand-year-old green bamboo; the hairpin body was flawless and vibrant, with the hairpin head carved into the shape of a green willow, hanging down, faintly showing dark gold.

These were greetings from Flying Flower Valley, another Golden Core Sect in Jiangzhou.

The hairpins could not only be carried daily but also store three Sword Qi, which could unleash unexpected effects at crucial moments.

Jiang Li accepted these two gifts, naturally intending to give them to others.

However, this alone was not enough.

Not grand enough.

Immediately,

Jiang Li’s fingertip conjured a seven-colored Sword Rainbow and injected it into the hairpins.

Under the refraction of the Sword Rainbow, both Flying Sword Hairpins subtly emitted a seven-colored glow.

After doing all this,

Jiang Li nodded with satisfaction.

Three Sword Rainbows meant three Golden Core-level powers.

Once he skillfully mastered the fourth Realm of Sword Dao, Sword Rainbow Dividing Light, the Sword Rainbow could be replaced by Sword Light. Once Sword Light appeared, there would be almost no opponent below the Nascent Soul Realm.

Of course,

With his current Divine Sense strength, he was still far from being able to condense the Sword Rainbow.

He estimated that his Divine Sense strength would need to reach above the Golden Core Stage to barely use Sword Light.

Jiang Li was helpless.

Others had the Realm but couldn’t comprehend the Sword Rainbow Dividing Light Realm, while he had the Sword Dao Realm but no way to use it.

Who could he complain to about this?

The Sword Art, “Xuantian Dragon Slaying Sword,” was still overpowered.

It should be considered the Cultivation Technique with the highest potential among all he cultivated, already touching the Dao Domain. Cultivated to Perfection, it could slay a Dao-harmonized body.

“It seems cultivating Spirit Refining Cultivation Techniques also needs to be put on the agenda.”

…

Several more days passed.

Jiang Li completely adapted to the power of the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage. Without alarming anyone, his figure flickered and disappeared from Shenhuo Mountain.

Having been out for nearly a month, it was time to return to Tianxuan Holy Land.

As for the Demon Suppression Division receiving the news, it was three days later. All the Demon Suppression Division generals arrived at Shenhuo Mountain, saw the empty Shenhuo Grand Hall, felt a sense of emptiness, and decided to allocate Shenhuo Mountain to Jiang Li as an Immortal Mountain.

Jiang Li naturally knew nothing of these arrangements.

He had already returned to Tianxuan Holy Land and went to the Law Enforcement Hall immediately.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

He first cooperated with his teacher to successfully eradicate Shenhuo Mountain Manor, then resolved the Yinkui Sect’s secret stronghold hidden in Jiangzhou. These two achievements, two instances of demon-slaying merit, plus the initial campaign against the Yinkui Sect and the Zhou Family incident, were already enough to promote him from a probationary Law Enforcement Officer to a mid-level Law Enforcement Officer.

He had completed one and a half of the two tasks given to him by the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord.

Who would dare question his loyalty to the organization now?

Stepping into the Law Enforcement Hall,

Jiang Li saw several Elders sitting in the discussion room, discussing matters.

Among them was his teacher, Zhang Song.

The other few were Elder Xingfas of the Law Enforcement Hall, none of whom had a cultivation lower than Golden Core Peak, and one was even the Deputy Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, sitting in the primary position.

He had heard from Elder Xingfa Cui Yan that this Deputy Hall Master, named Bai Hong, Deputy Hall Master, was only over three hundred years old, yet his cultivation had already reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage, and his Body Refining Cultivation Technique had reached an astonishing level, allowing him to fight Yao Beast royalty with powerful Bloodlines of the same Realm in close combat.

With the Deputy Hall Master involved, the decision being made must be significant.

Subconsciously, Jiang Li wanted to retreat, preventing the Cultivation Technique, “Supreme Divine Thunder Induction Heart Sutra,” from accidentally triggering any further plot.

However, on second thought,

The Cultivation Technique, “Supreme Divine Thunder Induction Heart Sutra,” had already been well-fed by him, so the possibility of triggering another accident was small.

“Hmm? My good Disciple, you’re finally back. If you didn’t return soon, I would have sent people to Jiangzhou to look for you.”

“Did something happen?”

Jiang Li asked curiously.

“No, it’s just that the Law Enforcement Hall has taken action to root out the Yinkui Sect’s branch hidden in Jiangzhou. I was worried they would become desperate and actively target you, but since you’ve returned safely, there’s no need to worry about that.”

Jiang Li:…

He fell silent.

The Law Enforcement Hall had already sent people to Jiangzhou?

Then everything he had done couldn’t be kept secret?

Oh dear.

He only wanted to tell Elder Xingfa Cui Yan about his two demon-slaying achievements, to control the impact of the matter within a certain range.

But now…

The Law Enforcement Hall had already intervened.

He didn’t even know how many Disciples had been sent to Jiangzhou for the mission. How could he keep it a secret now?

“Teacher, actually, I have something…”

Jiang Li said, forcing himself.

Just then,

A group of people rushed in excitedly.

“Elders, a major event has occurred in Jiangzhou.”

The newcomer was the leader of the investigation team for this trip, an inner Sect elite with Foundation Establishment Peak cultivation.

However, at this moment, he was out of breath, panting, with a hint of un-dissipated shock still on his face, clearly having rushed back to report the situation immediately.

“What happened? Did the Yinkui Sect branch there cause another massacre of a city or Sect?”

Elder Xingfa Cui Yan said sternly.

“No, no, it’s that the Yinkui Sect branch there has been annihilated.”

The investigation team leader’s words were astonishing.

“And according to the generals of the Demon Suppression Division and the Cultivators of Jiangzhou, the Cultivator who destroyed the Yinkui Sect branch stronghold is a Disciple of our Tianxuan Holy Land, and only has Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivation.”

The investigation team leader spoke very quickly.

In just a few words, he stated his investigation results.

With Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivation, he used the wind to control a wind disaster, destroyed the Yinkui Sect branch, and killed a Golden Core Elder, completely annihilating the Yinkui Sect’s stronghold in Jiangzhou.

Upon hearing this,

The scene became quiet.

Both the Elder Xingfas and the Deputy Hall Master wore expressions of disbelief.

Foundation Establishment killing Golden Core, Foundation Establishment annihilating a Sect.

They thought this was an Immortal’s autobiography.

How could their Tianxuan Holy Land have such a Prodigy?

Even the True Disciples, on whom great hopes were placed, couldn’t do such things.

Seeing that the many Elders didn’t believe him, the investigation team leader was about to continue speaking when his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of Jiang Li, standing silently to the side, and his heart suddenly trembled.

He recalled the characteristics described by the Jiangzhou Cultivators.

Black robe, around twenty years old, Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivation, mastered the Sword Form Like Rainbow Realm, used a crimson Spiritual Artifact, slender figure, high nose bridge, handsome features like a banished Immortal, and could attract everyone’s attention just by standing there.

A flash of lightning crossed his mind.

He exclaimed:

“So they were talking about Chief Jiang!”
