Chapter 174 Jiang Li: The Qi Refining Method is Going Crazy Again

Chapter 174: Jiang Li: The Qi Refining Method is acting up again.

At the Holy Son Grand Ceremony.

As Jiang Li officially ascended to the position of Holy Son and announced it to the world, guests lined up endlessly to offer gifts.

The generosity of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, in particular, shocked all Cultivators in the world.

A page from a wordless Dao Scripture, Star Slaying Sword Intent, a teleportation star map, a fourth-tier spirit fire, a fourth-tier flying spirit beast, a Earth Fiend Sword Array, a Myriad Medicine Universe Pouch… Jiang Li was speechless with awe.

He inwardly exclaimed that he was about to get rich.

After this Holy Son Grand Ceremony, his net worth would surpass that of a Transformation God True Lord, possessing a foundation comparable to a small Immortal Sect.

As he pondered.

A clear and ethereal zither melody, like an ice spring dripping onto a jade plate yet as distant as immortal music from the clouds, began to play from an unknown source, cleansing the mind. On the viewing platform, a graceful figure floated down.

She wore an immortal gown adorned with flowing clouds and cranes, appearing ethereal. Her black hair, like clouds, was simply tied up with a green jade hairpin, the rest cascading like a waterfall, further accentuating her long, fair neck.

Her face was covered by a thin layer of gauze, concealing everything below her nose, revealing only a pair of eyes as clear as an autumn pond, yet containing endless musical notes. A cinnabar music mark on her brow pulsed with her breathing.

“It’s Sound Sect Holy Maiden Su Miaoyin.”

Many Immortal Sect Disciples, upon seeing this figure, showed signs of excitement and infatuation, wishing they could immediately step forward to admire her beauty.

Even the Holy Son Candidate queue couldn’t resist this temptation, their gazes immediately drawn to her. They thought: A fair lady, a gentleman’s pursuit. If one could become Dao Companion with the Sound Sect Holy Maiden and embark on the Great Dao together, it would surely make countless people envious. Especially since the Sound Sect Holy Maiden is skilled at helping others comprehend Dao and achieve Breakthrough. It is rumored that combining with the Sound Sect Holy Maiden increases the chance of Immortal Ascension by thirty percent.

How could such a wondrous woman not drive Immortal Sect Disciples crazy?

“The Heavenly Mystery Holy Son has been established, and the Immortal Sects jointly congratulate him. The Sound Sect has specially prepared a small gift to express our sincerity.”

The Sound Sect Holy Maiden held an ancient scorched-tail zither in her arms. Her slender jade fingers gently caressed it, and an invisible, light-distorting ripple slowly spread out, condensing before her into a fist-sized, constantly shifting ball of light. Inside the light ball, countless tiny musical notes seemed to be born and extinguished.

Her voice rang out again, flowing like zither music, clearly reaching everyone’s ears:

“This is a Heart of Enlightenment and Auspicious Sound that I have performed with all my heart, sealed within using a special technique. It can assist Holy Son Jiang in comprehending Dao. Miaoyin, on behalf of the Sound Sect, wishes Holy Son Jiang a prosperous Great Dao.”

Su Miaoyin gently waved her jade hand, sending the ball of light before her to Jiang Li. A clear arc formed on her lips behind the light veil, her intention to befriend him obvious.

Jiang Li nodded slightly.

This was his first time seeing the Sound Sect Holy Maiden.

She was indeed an extraordinary woman, without a doubt. Although part of her face was obscured by special means, it was still evident that she was an unparalleled Fairy, no less stunning than Murong Qing or Li Xi.

Especially since she possessed the ability to help others comprehend Dao and overcome Bottlenecks, she was undoubtedly a prized possession for Cultivators.

This point was similar to Li Xi’s Longevity Physique.

Both were special Physique talents that, once exposed, would attract a great deal of covetousness. The difference was that the Sound Sect Holy Maiden’s special talent could be shared, while the Longevity Physique could not.

As for this Heart of Enlightenment and Auspicious Sound, he didn’t know how its effect compared to the Ancestral Master’s Blessing, the Sect’s Recompense, or the Descent of Auspicious Omens—which was stronger or weaker. If he could have a stable source of Dao comprehension, he might be able to comprehend the sixth realm of Sword Dao even faster than the sword art “Xuantian Dragon Slaying Sword.”

While Jiang Li was contemplating the intensity of Dao comprehension, unbeknownst to him, many Immortal Sect Disciples on the scene were so envious they were practically undergoing plasmolysis.

Fairy Miaoyin had personally performed a zither piece for the Heavenly Mystery Holy Son alone; wasn’t this an excessive amount of attention?

Even at the Holy Son Grand Ceremony of the Star Gazing Saint, Fairy Miaoyin had never performed alone. Could it be that the Sound Sect Holy Maiden believed that the Heavenly Mystery Holy Son, who was only at the Golden Core Stage, held more weight than the top three Immortal Sects?

Thinking this way.

Their Battle Intent became even more apparent.

They just waited for the Holy Son Grand Ceremony to enter its final challenge phase. They would let Fairy Miaoyin see that the myth of “Invincible Jiang” would end in their hands… After the Immortal Sect’s gifts.

The various Peak Masters of Tianxuan Holy Land also presented their own tokens of sincerity.

Among them, the gifts from Dan Peak and Xiaoqiong Peak were what caught Jiang Li’s attention the most.

“Dan Peak congratulates the Holy Son and presents three portions of fire-attributed Heavenly Fiend Energy.”

“Xiaoqiong Peak congratulates the Holy Son and presents two portions of lightning-attributed Heavenly Fiend Energy.”

Gao Lan, the Master of Dan Peak, and Murong Wanhe, Peak Lord, the Master of Xiaoqiong Peak, each presented a jade bottle containing Heavenly Fiend Energy of fire and lightning attributes.

When he saw the gifts, Jiang Li was momentarily stunned.

He knew how precious Heavenly Fiend Energy was.

Even within Tianxuan Holy Land, Heavenly Fiend Energy was a strategic reserve resource for the Immortal Sect, with the total reserve not exceeding five portions. And now… two Xuan Peaks had contributed five portions to him.

Among them was the lightning-attributed Heavenly Fiend Energy he had been longing for.

This offering was definitely his most favored, without a doubt.

Elder Che Yufei of Pure Yang Palace was shocked, exclaiming, “These three portions of fire-attributed Heavenly Fiend Energy were traded by the Dan Peak Master from our Pure Yang Palace at a huge cost. I didn’t expect them to be used for Jiang Li? Has he already comprehended the fifth realm of Sword Dao and is preparing to condense Sword Killing Force?”

This speculation gave him a huge fright.

It also caused ripples among the Nine Great Immortal Sects on the viewing platform, especially the Sword Sect representative, who looked surprised and said in disbelief, “He is only at the Golden Core cultivation, how could he possibly comprehend the fifth realm of Sword Dao?”

The Old Taoist with a whisk from Dao Sect also could not hide his surprise, “Comprehending the fifth realm of Sword Dao at this age has already broken the fastest record set by your Sword Sect’s Ancestral Master, hasn’t it?”

The Sword Sect representative fell silent.

If Jiang Li had indeed comprehended the fifth realm of Sword Dao, then it truly broke their Sword Sect’s proud record and elevated the standard to an unprecedented level.

Because in terms of both age and cultivation, Jiang Li was at a stage where it should be impossible to comprehend the fifth realm of Sword Dao.

“No wonder this Heavenly Mystery Holy Son is subtly gaining the reputation of’Strongest Saint.’ If he can cultivate Sword Killing Force in a short period, then the other Saints will not possess the strength to contend with him until they reach the Late Stage or even Peak of Nascent Soul. Even our Dao Son…”

The Old Taoist with a whisk added another sigh, then fell silent.

If the Dao Son could condense an Immortal Nascent Soul and then advance to the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, he could also gain strength comparable to Soul Transformation, and might not be unable to contend with the fifth-tier Sword Killing Force power. However, this was a secret of the Dao Sect, not to be revealed to outsiders.

The other Immortal Sect representatives also had various expressions.

They speculated whether this scene was Tianxuan Holy Land being deliberately mysterious and intentionally elevating Jiang Li, or if it was truly happening.

The former would be dismissed with a laugh. If it were the latter, then the Cultivation World would see the rise of an unparalleled, world-shaking Sword Immortal who would rewrite the existing dynamics of the Cultivation World.

Amidst such thoughts.

The gift-giving was nearing its end.

The gift-giving also followed a sequence.

The Nine Great Immortal Sects presented gifts first, followed by Tianxuan Holy Land, then the cultivation Sects and aristocratic families of the mortal world, and finally the Loose Cultivators.

“The Lin family patriarch congratulates the Holy Son and specially presents…”

A Nascent Soul patriarch with a weathered face cautiously presented a Storage Ring.

The moment Jiang Li received it, his heart jolted.

Because this Storage Ring actually contained a token from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. He looked up again, and the Cultivation Technique entry Heart of Justice activated. A black mark clearly appeared above the head of this Nascent Soul patriarch.

Jiang Li:…No.

You really dare to come.

The titles of Demonic Path Bane and Righteous Partner from the Qi Refining Method weren’t given for nothing, were they?

Jiang Li carefully scanned the representatives from these mortal aristocratic families and Sects who were presenting gifts, and found no less than a hundred figures with red and black marks among them. He even saw several red marks among the Nine Great Immortal Sects.

Oh no.

The next second.

A cold, mechanical electronic voice suddenly rang out.

【Ding, the Cultivation Technique Supreme Divine Thunder Induction Heart Sutra looked confusedly at these sinful people. How dare these Demonic Path brats appear in a Righteous Path Holy Land? This is a provocation to the might of the Righteous Path. The host can endure it, but the Cultivation Technique cannot. If these sinners are not completely annihilated, then being the Heavenly Mystery Holy Son is not worth it.】

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Don’t throw a tantrum like that.

I took on this position of Holy Son at the risk of becoming famous throughout the world; how can I just give it up?

Amidst his muttering.

The Cultivation Technique moved.

It crushed the Storage Ring in his hand, making Jiang Li’s heart ache.

Then.

A mighty thunderous roar surged:

“Demonic Path Prodigies, how dare you appear before me? Die.”
