Chapter 35 Damn, he’s so pretentious

Chapter 35: Damn it, he’s too pretentious.

Outside the Yuanci Land.

Everyone’s gaze involuntarily turned towards Jiang Li.

“A Qi Refining Eighth Stage Cultivator, carrying three Yuanci Mountains, enduring for three hours…”

Someone almost moaned as they recited Jiang Li’s achievement.

The crowd stirred.

And fell into a collective silence.

To describe it in one sentence: they were stunned into numbness.

At this moment.

Someone else chimed in, “This might not even be his limit.”

Many Foundation Establishment Stage Disciples looked complex, thinking, ‘You can keep thoughts like that to yourself; why say it out loud and diminish our own prestige?’

They naturally knew that in that environment, anyone who truly reached the Physical Body’s endurance limit would not be able to walk out unscathed.

Fang Shi was a good example.

Crawling out, limp and bleeding all over—that was the state of reaching one’s limit.

But Jiang Li? Not only could he still walk, but there wasn’t a single injury visible on him.

This was a sign of having held back.

Compared to Jiang Li, their gap in Body Refining was like the difference between clouds and mud.

What was even more infuriating was that, as far as they knew, Jiang Li wasn’t a Body Cultivator but a Sword Cultivator.

A Sword Cultivator, in terms of Physical Body, completely crushed Body Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators—this was too absurd.

How could one person be so talented?

When Nuwa created humans, did she perhaps max out all the attributes like Immortal aptitude, charm, and red string for him, and then gave them the unwanted scraps?

Let a lightning bolt strike down this Prodigy!

…

On the other side.

Jiang Li also felt like he was struck by five bolts of lightning.

He hadn’t even finished testing the limits of his Cultivation Technique, and these people had all run off?

No.

Where were the Prodigies of the Huashen Class that were promised?

This was simply too weak.

Jiang Li had a strong sense of déjà vu, as if he hadn’t even exerted himself, and everyone else had already fallen.

Old Brother Huang, you’re truly a firecracker tied to a cow’s butt—explosively awesome.

【Ding, the Cultivation Technique Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill raised its head, enjoying the scene of being the center of attention, thinking that if there were a Dragon Throne in this kind of setting, it would be even better. Forging a Dragon Throne has been added to the wish list. The Emperor’s Heart boiled, condensing a wisp of Dragon Qi.】

Jiang Li was startled.

This works too?

The System considered these Huashen Class Disciples as part of the “common people”?

In the Cultivation world, secular Imperial Dynasties and Immortal Sects were separate, but in the System’s judgment, there was no difference between the two.

Or rather, the “common people” as judged by the System included the entire world.

The so-called “Number One Emperor in the World” referred to turning the entire world into one’s Divine Kingdom.

Terrifying, truly terrifying.

Jiang Li once again refreshed his understanding of this Body Refining Cultivation Technique.

And then.

He bit the bullet and walked out.

He had a stern, unsmiling expression.

Little did he know that to others, this looked completely nonchalant, as if this achievement was nothing at all.

Damn it, this is too pretentious!

So what if his Physical Body is strong?

Many Disciples thought sourly.

And secretly noted Jiang Li’s demeanor at this moment, because this understated way of showing off was much more Advanced than Fang Shi’s boastful display. When they could show off, they would do it this way too.

“Jiang Li, your Spirit Essence Potion.”

Li Xi jogged over.

Tiptoed.

And handed over a bottle of Spirit Essence Potion.

Her sparkling big eyes looked on curiously, as if holding ten thousand questions, with so many things she wanted to ask.

Jiang Li took it and said, “Thank you.”

Li Xi’s eyes narrowed into slits.

She was quite pleased.

As if she had accomplished something extraordinary.

Watching this scene, many Disciples inwardly wailed.

It’s over, it’s over, their little Heavenly Maiden was going to fall for a young upstart who just entered the Huashen Class.

Immediately after.

Body Refining instructor Wang Bo also walked over.

He looked Jiang Li up and down a few times.

As if looking at a monster.

His expression clearly said, “Is this what you meant by ‘having some dabbling’?”

“How long have you been Body Refining?”

Jiang Li thought: If he said he only officially started Cultivating Body Refining Cultivation Technique today, would Tianxuan Holy Land slice him up for research?

After some thought.

Jiang Li replied, “One month.”

Extending one day to one month, Jiang Li thought this was already long enough.

Such achievements should be expected.

Wang Bo:…

He felt a little dizzy.

A Qi Refining Cultivator who had Cultivated Body Refining Cultivation Technique for one month achieved better results than his Disciple whom he had trained for three years. Is this even human?

He was a Nascent Soul Stage Body Cultivator!

His teaching results were actually inferior to natural Body Refining.

After a while.

This Body Refining instructor finally stabilized his Dao Heart, took a deep breath, and gave professional guidance: “Your Physical Body strength is basically equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Cultivator. Your focus from now on can continue to be on the Yuanci Land, to further temper your Physique. When you can carry ten Yuanci Mountains, I will give you a great Opportunity that can transform your Physical Body and grant you a powerful Acquired special Physique.”

Jiang Li looked up.

Slightly surprised.

An Opportunity that could transform one into an Acquired special Physique, this truly counted as a tremendous Opportunity.

Although the normal version of the Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill could also Cultivate an Acquired Physique, that required the Body Refining Cultivation Technique to reach the Perfection stage to achieve.

Moreover, the Thick Earth Physique was only considered mid-to-low tier among Acquired Physiques and wasn’t considered a powerful Physique.

But Instructor Wang Bo spoke of a powerful Physique.

The difference between the two was not insignificant.

“I’ll try my best.”

Jiang Li didn’t make a full commitment.

This was also the self-cultivation of an undercover agent.

Even if it’s doable, he had to say it was difficult.

Otherwise, there would be an endless stream of dangerous tasks.

Wang Bo didn’t doubt him, only affirmed, “I look forward to your performance. Ideally within half a year, and no longer than a year, otherwise you will miss it.”

Jiang Li nodded.

Indicating he had noted it.

After all this was done.

Body Refining instructor Wang Bo announced the dismissal.

Jiang Li also prepared to leave.

He did want to stay in the Yuanci Land to continue Cultivating, but he had no more contribution points.

Moreover, simple Physique tempering couldn’t compare to Cultivating by consuming Dragon Qi.

The introductory stage of the Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill had already shown Physical Body strength not weaker than a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, Jiang Li couldn’t imagine what new heights his Physical Body could reach if he pushed this Body Refining Cultivation Technique to the Minor Achievement stage.

He was very much looking forward to it.

With this thought.

Jiang Li stepped away.

The crowd immediately parted, like a tide separating to both sides, spontaneously making a path for Jiang Li.

Jiang Li was a little surprised.

But still walked away.

Murong Qing and Li Xi also followed closely behind.

Shen Lin and a few others also followed.

The rest walked at the very end.

Just like a fierce tiger traveling in the forest, with clear hierarchy, a tigress by its side, and a hundred beasts following behind.

…

Bidding farewell to the others, Jiang Li returned to his Immortal Cave.

He immediately took out the wisp of Dragon Qi condensed by the ‘Emperor’s Heart’ entry.

Compared to the Dragon Qi in the Dragon Vein, this wisp of Dragon Qi was like an undeveloped young Dragon.

It would probably take about ten such wisps to equal one complete Dragon Qi.

This was unexpected, yet reasonable.

After all.

The source of this wisp of Dragon Qi was only seventeen people.

Even if the Cultivation Technique was extremely pleased, it couldn’t possibly nurture a complete one with just these seventeen people.

Fortunately, the Dragon Vein in the Earth Vein Mother Qi Chamber was still usable, and drawing a few more should not be a problem.

If he could also combine it with the Cultivation environment of the Yuanci Land, he thought it wouldn’t take too long to Cultivate the Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill to the Minor Achievement stage.

It’s just that he was a bit short on contribution points.

It seemed he would have to find a few unlucky souls to sacrifice.

This was also a good Opportunity to see if the “Profound Yellow Heart Refining Art” Cultivation Technique could burst with righteous belief and add to his Cultivation progress, saving him time on Cultivating Qi Refining methods.

Jiang Li had an idea in mind.

Just then.

Jiang Li frowned slightly.

Because the blood-colored token belonging to the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord in his Storage Ring reacted, and his consciousness immediately felt a pulling sensation.

This was the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s contingency plan.

As long as the other party had something to do, he could forcibly pull his consciousness into the Divine Thought space within the blood-colored token.

Jiang Li took out the blood-colored token.

And placed it on his glabella.

The next moment.

His consciousness appeared in a blood-colored space.

The dark-red mist, one of the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord’s myriad Divine Thoughts, opened its crimson eyes, emitting silent sound waves that echoed in his mind.

“How is the mission progressing?”

Jiang Li said, “My Lord, I have officially joined the Law Enforcement Hall and become a probationary enforcer. However, with my current strength, it will be very difficult to be promoted to a high-ranking enforcer in a short period.”

The dark-red mist was silent for several seconds.

“The undercover agent from Tianxuan Holy Land sent back a message, saying that the undercover liaison is missing. This position will be filled by you. You can activate all undercover agents and resource networks within Tianxuan Holy Land and have them fully assist you. If necessary, I will have that person in the Inner Sect give you a push. You need to give me a satisfactory answer as soon as possible.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li’s heart sank.

He knew that there was an undercover agent from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect in the Tianxuan Holy Land’s Inner Sect, but that person actually knew about him, which was not good news.

Fortunately, they were still on the same side for now, so he didn’t have to worry about being betrayed.

However, he had to dig out that person quickly.

And then… Nai Yizute.
