Chapter 183 Body Refining Method: Stealing the Dynasty, a Specialty

Chapter 183: Body Refinement Method: Stealing the Imperial Dynasty, a Masterpiece

At this moment…

Outside the Imperial City.

The scene fell into an eerie silence.

Whether it was ordinary commoners or low-level Cultivators, all burst into huge shouts of surprise. A Nascent Soul-level Yao Beast that could break through the Imperial City’s Formation defense and leave the defending soldiers helpless was killed so easily. This completely exceeded their imagination.

In their eyes, Nascent Soul-level Yao Beasts were already the most ferocious Yao Beasts in the world. Each one had the power to destroy a city, and wherever they went, they could stir up a monstrous bloodbath. Few Cultivators could deal with them, and countless humans had been eaten by them.

And now… such an “invincible” great Yao Beast was instantly killed by a single finger from the Immortal. They only felt incomparably exhilarated, and the suppressed emotions in their hearts were released, erupting into a mountain-torrent-like roar of cheers.

On the other side.

The Blood Jade Kui Bull watched this scene in disbelief.

His heart was filled with indescribable terror.

What a joke.

This was a great Yao Beast of the same level as him. Although the Green-faced Lion Yao Beast’s Bloodline was not as good as his, and his strength was not as strong as his, he was still a Peak Nascent Soul. How could he be instantly killed by a Golden Core Middle Stage Cultivator?

This was definitely not a Golden Core junior.

It was a Transformation God True Lord pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

“Your Excellency, I am here to announce the details of the Yao Race trial. You cannot kill me. If you kill me, the Kui Cow Clan will not let you go, and the Demon Clan Royal Court will not let you go either.”

The Blood Jade Kui Bull’s voice was stern but his heart was timid.

He had not thought of running directly, but his Qi told him that he had already been locked on. He now deeply regretted that he was not a speed-type Yao Beast, otherwise he could have tried to escape from a Transformation God True Lord.

Jiang Li did not speak.

He just looked down calmly.

His sword-finger slightly raised again.

The clouds gradually changed, Law runes were densely packed, and a thick, pale white lightning bolt, containing a hint of purple light, condensed as if lightning was born from the Void Realm. The fluctuations of destruction and creation spread simultaneously.

“No, you really can’t kill me. I am the younger brother of the Kui Cow Clan Chief, and my nephew is one of the Six Lesser Saints of the Demon Race. If you kill me, the entire Piaomiao Dynasty will have to be buried with me.”

The Blood Jade Kui Bull screamed in terror.

He let out a roar like a cow.

Wind and lightning attributes simultaneously swirled around his body. The Kui Cow Clan, with their ancient exotic beast Bloodline, were naturally skilled at controlling storms and lightning. Every inch of their fur had been tempered to be indestructible, and they feared wind and lightning Spells the least.

However… this white-with-purple lightning was different. That was not ordinary lightning, but Tribulation Lightning containing the power of Heavenly Dao judgment. He was confident that he could withstand the first attack, but he definitely could not block the second.

What made him even more desperate was that because they were the vanguard to announce the Yao Race trial and warn the Piaomiao Dynasty, there was no talk of reinforcements. Unless they could escape back to the desolate lands, running any further would be in vain.

“Foreign races, shall be executed.”

Jiang Li pronounced his judgment.

His voice carried no emotional fluctuation, and the sound waves echoed like the sound of heaven and earth, captivating people’s minds.

The next second.

The Profound Sky Tribulation Lightning struck down with a roar.

The Blood Jade Kui Bull’s eyes were splitting with rage. He never expected that Jiang Li would still dare to kill him after he had said all that. He clearly hadn’t done anything, so why should he die? This Transformation God True Lord was definitely a pure Yao Beast discriminator.

He roared, pushing his horns forcefully upwards.

He placed his hope on Jiang Li being unable to continuously unleash such a killing move multiple times.

However… he underestimated Jiang Li and overestimated himself.

Amidst the bursting Tribulation Lightning, the Blood Jade Kui Bull’s corpse fell from the sky, smashing onto the ground, emitting thick smoke. Then, it decomposed at a visible speed, dissipating between heaven and earth.

Watching the newly evolved Qi Refining Method instantly kill a Peak Nascent Soul great Yao Beast with a single strike, Jiang Li secretly clicked his tongue.

Under the Heavenly Dao Envoy mode, the Qi Refining Method could freely mobilize the Heavenly Dao’s authority, unleashing the astonishingly powerful Profound Sky Tribulation Lightning. Its intensity was so high that it allowed him, a Golden Core Middle Stage, to instantly kill a Peak Nascent Soul Yao Beast with a single strike.

This was something even six-colored Tribulation Lightning couldn’t compare to.

After all.

The six-colored Tribulation Lightning relied on his own foundation, at most posing a certain threat to Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators. The Profound Sky Tribulation Lightning was different; in addition to his own foundation, the Tribulation Lightning was also blessed with the will of heaven and earth, which allowed him to transcend his strength limit and unleash astonishingly powerful attacks.

The only regret was that only when the Qi Refining Method entered the Heavenly Dao Envoy mode could this ability be used. Besides this, if he could continue to increase his Heavenly Dao intimacy, he might be able to unlock this mode in the future and truly become a Heavenly Dao Envoy by relying on himself.

“Ding, the Cultivation Technique “Supreme Profound Azure Divine Heart Sutra” has successfully wiped out two factors that disrupted world balance. Heavenly Dao belief has increased, more Heavenly Dao information has been obtained, and a more intimate relationship with the Heavenly Dao is being established. In the midst of heaven-and-man fusion, please do not disturb…”

“Hosting has ended.”

As the System prompt sounded.

Jiang Li regained control of his body.

He was slightly bewildered.

Huh?

What the hell is heaven-and-man fusion?

It wouldn’t be Dual Cultivation, would it?

This was the first time he had seen the Qi Refining Method end its hosting so quickly. Under normal circumstances, the Qi Refining Method’s hosting should have continued until the end of the Yao Race trial.

Forgetting old friends for new ones, huh?

Jiang Li secretly grumbled.

He was happy that the Qi Refining Method could find a patron on its own, but he had to severely condemn the Qi Refining Method for leaving him alone to deal with the show-off scene after finishing its business.

Amidst his grumbling.

A series of streams of light shot from afar.

It was Emperor Zhangwu and his civil and military officials.

“Where are the Nascent Soul great Yao Beasts? Where are they?”

Emperor Zhangwu asked curiously.

The Imperial City’s defensive Formation still had traces of being burned, so something must have happened, but there was no sign of any Yao Beast at the scene, not even a corpse, as if everything was a false alarm.

The defending soldiers glanced at Jiang Li with lingering fear and reported, “Your Majesty, that ‘Immortal’ made a move.”

This Golden Core Stage soldier recounted the events in detail.

After listening.

The scene was silent.

The civil and military officials behind him all opened their mouths wide, looking incredulous.

The six bell chimes meant Nascent Soul-level great Yao Beasts were attacking, but it didn’t say Peak Nascent Soul great Yao Beasts, and it wasn’t just one, but two. This was already on par with the Piaomiao Dynasty’s top combat power.

If Jiang Li hadn’t been here, they would have probably had to use the Imperial Dynasty’s foundation to drive them away this time.

Yet, Jiang Li, with his own strength, killed two Peak Nascent Soul great Yao Beasts in less than a minute.

Although they knew that the Heavenly Mystery Saint had the strength to rival Peak Nascent Soul Cultivators, rivaling was rivaling, and killing was killing. These two were not the same concept at all.

They couldn’t imagine that a Golden Core Cultivator could unleash such invincible combat power. Compared to him, their Crown Prince and the younger generation of their Imperial Dynasty were simply like a lump by the roadside, completely incomparable.

Is this the Heavenly Mystery Saint? Is this the true worth of Invincible Jiang?

At the very front.

Emperor Zhangwu’s expression also froze for a moment.

He was certain that during the Saint Ceremony, Jiang Li’s lightning Spell definitely did not have such power, otherwise he would not have been avoided when he killed the Blood Hell True Lord’s borrowed body avatar of the Thousand Souls Demon Sect.

In other words.

In the short few days between the end of the Saint Ceremony and his arrival at the Piaomiao Imperial City, Jiang Li’s strength had made rapid progress again. The intensity of his lightning Spell had reached a level where it could instantly kill Peak Nascent Soul Cultivators.

This was too terrifying.

Was this still the Cultivation he remembered?

After the Golden Core Stage, every advancement for a Cultivator required years. Those with mediocre Aptitude might not even be able to improve a single bit on their original foundation even if they lived to old age.

Even Immortal Sect Disciples and Saint sequences had to abide by this rule for advancement.

But Jiang Li directly broke this rule.

This Heavenly Mystery Saint’s strength increased by the day.

Within just a few days, his strength could skyrocket by a large margin.

He must be cheating, right?

Such a Cultivation speed completely overshadowed the Dao Child, who was hailed as the most talented person of the younger generation.

At this moment.

An absurd thought popped into Emperor Zhangwu’s mind: Could Jiang Li’s true strength already rival a Soul Transformation Cultivator?

For a moment.

All eyes on the scene focused on Jiang Li.

Jiang Li, having exited the Cultivation Technique hosting mode, also lost the Heavenly Dao Envoy’s concealment, revealing his true appearance to the ordinary commoners and low-level Cultivators.

His dark ink robe swayed, his profound eyes seemed to contain all things in the world, divine light subtly appearing. His heroic figure immediately brought to mind: “A gentleman like jade on the roadside, unparalleled in the world, standing aloof from the world, ascending to Immortality.”

What an exiled Immortal!

The commoners and low-level Cultivators in the city all thought to themselves.

Their eyes were filled with worship.

They cheered, chanting: “Immortal.”

Emperor Zhangwu and the civil and military officials, led by him, also bowed and thanked him, saying, “The Saint’s grace, the Piaomiao Dynasty will never forget.”

Seeing this.

Jiang Li said indifferently, “It’s just a small effort. As a Cultivator, protecting the common people is my duty.”

The Qi Refining Method left him with a showy mess, and he couldn’t waste it. He converted it all into reputation, collected Power Of Will, and used it to condense Imperial Dynasty Dragon Qi.

For a time.

The entire Imperial City was filled with praise for the “Immortal.”

Jiang Li, meanwhile, glanced at the newly refreshed Heavenly Dao information.

“Yao Race Bulletin: In four days, the Yao Race trial will begin. The activity range covers the nine provinces of the Piaomiao Dynasty, using the hunting of high-level Cultivators as the selection standard for the Six Lesser Saints of the Demon Race. During this period, a large number of Yao Beasts will begin to attack the Piaomiao Dynasty.”

…After a while.

Jiang Li, surrounded by Emperor Zhangwu, arrived at the Imperial Palace, standing once again on the former site of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Frost and snow fell, dyeing the Imperial Palace with a layer of white frost.

Everything around him was both familiar and strange.

Compared to the extremely powerful Imperial Palace of the Great Qian Empire in his thousand-year dream memory, the Piaomiao Dynasty Imperial Palace could only be described as decent, similar in scale to the original Great Qian Dynasty Imperial Palace, with many buildings restored.

Walking here made Jiang Li somewhat nostalgic for the days of being an Emperor.

But he quickly shook his head: “Once you get addicted to the Body Refinement Method’s show-off, your life is over. This absolutely cannot be allowed.”

Emperor Zhangwu said, “Saint, you are our savior. The Piaomiao Dynasty has no way to repay you. I am willing to rule the world with you and confer upon you the title of King Li, enjoying the same status and rights as me. This title will be announced to the world tomorrow.”

Jiang Li: “You want to bind me, huh?”

He could guess Emperor Zhangwu’s thoughts without even trying.

It was nothing more than knowing that the Piaomiao Dynasty was useless to him, the Heavenly Mystery Saint, so he could only use the temptation of ruling the world together to bind him and make him the Piaomiao Dynasty’s backer.

Unfortunately, Emperor Zhangwu guessed wrong.

He wasn’t interested in the Piaomiao Dynasty, but the Body Refinement Method was.

The other party’s decision was completely inviting a wolf into the house.

“Ding, the Cultivation Technique ‘Imperial World-Shocking Divine Art’ states: King plus white, that is Emperor. This is the destiny of the Human Emperor. The legend of the Heavenly Departure Holy Emperor will restart from here.”

Jiang Li: “See? When the Imperial Dynasty is stolen, you’ll all cry.”
