Chapter 62: Inner Gate Undercover, Suspicion from the Devil Lord of Ten Thousand Desires

Chapter 62: Inner Sect Undercover, Suspicions from the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord

Sword Hall.

Just after the third chime of the morning bell, hundreds of Tianjian Peak Disciples had already gathered, some standing, some sitting, but all their gazes were fixed on the three-zhang-high green jade platform in the center of the training ground.

Jiang Li stood with his arms at his sides, a dark black long gown paired with an unsmiling expression, exuding the aura of an ascetic male god.

He began to speak slowly.

His voice contained not a trace of emotion.

His powerful and majestic aura made the Tianjian Peak Disciples below the platform sit up straight, their backs erect, not daring to show the slightest slack.

It was a kind of Imperial might, like an emperor issuing a decree, where disobedience meant execution.

Even in his Cultivation Technique Hosting state, he could still impart Sword Dao experience. It was simply a matter of typing out the insights gained from the Sword Art, the Xuantian Dragon Slaying Sword, and then having the Body Refining Cultivation Technique speak them personally.

This way.

The Cultivation Technique, the Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill, could once again enjoy the admiration of the masses and condense Imperial Dynasty Dragon Qi.

He could also digest these insights.

And thoroughly comprehend them.

Killing two birds with one stone.

“Ding! The Cultivation Technique, the Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill, states it has learned that the Dao of the Emperor not only requires a glorious side but also needs to be accustomed to hiding in the shadows, biding its time. A balance of tension and relaxation makes for a wise ruler. The Mandate of Heaven Imperial Aspect is once again being nurtured.”

Jiang Li: …

No.

I just wanted to show off in front of you once, that’s all.

What light and darkness, what balance of tension and relaxation? I never thought that way.

Don’t add extra scenes for yourself.

Just focus on condensing Imperial Dynasty Dragon Qi for me.

Jiang Li secretly grumbled.

His fingers typed quickly.

The text box grew longer bit by bit.

Describing each Sword Dao insight that had been poured into him.

The process of description was the result of his digestion.

His understanding of the Sword Dao deepened once more.

He also gained a profound understanding of Sword Form Like Rainbow, and even the fourth Realm after that, Sword Rainbow Dividing Light.

He felt as if he could see bullet comments popping up above his head.

Sword Dao Experience +1+1+1…

Among the crowd.

A Foundation Establishment Disciple who had just emerged from seclusion listened to the lecture, his face showing clear foolishness and doubt.

“What is all this nonsense? It’s like listening to a heavenly book. How can a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Disciple become the Chief of Tianjian Peak? And even give Sword Dao lessons? How many years has he been practicing swords? It would be good if he could even match half of our Senior Brother Li Yi. Senior Brother Li is the true Senior Brother.”

Saying this.

This Foundation Establishment Disciple stopped listening and looked at a thin figure behind him. This figure’s spine was as straight as the spine of a famous sword, his eyes seemed somewhat dazed, his mind wandering, and there were even fragments of a whetstone in his fingernails, making him look disheveled.

But no one dared to underestimate him.

Because this young man named “Li Yi” possessed a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivation and was one of the few Sword Cultivators on Tianjian Peak who had mastered the Realm of Sword Qi Manifestation, ranking fifteenth among Inner Sect Disciples.

He only needed to advance to the Golden Core Stage to naturally take over the position of Chief Senior Brother, but now… it had been snatched by Jiang Li.

There was a natural conflict between the two.

This was also why Li Yi was here.

He wanted to challenge him.

He wanted to prove that he was the number one in Sword Dao Realm among the new generation of Disciples on Tianjian Peak.

“Senior Brother Li Yi, listening to a Foundation Establishment Disciple give Sword Dao lessons is truly a waste of time. We…”

Before this Foundation Establishment Disciple could finish speaking, Li Yi frowned, a cold light flashed as his sword pointed at the Disciple, and he impatiently said, “Get lost. Don’t disturb me listening to Senior Brother’s lecture.”

Li Yi didn’t even lift his head, maintaining his previous posture, continuing to wander in his thoughts. However, upon closer inspection, one would find that he was deeply immersed, listening more attentively than anyone else present.

This Foundation Establishment Disciple was dumbfounded.

Brother.

Weren’t you here to challenge him?

How did you get convinced?

Is what he’s saying really that good? Then why do I only half-understand it and can’t comprehend it at all?

This Foundation Establishment Disciple subconsciously looked around.

He saw that the entire Sword Hall was eerily quiet. Every Tianjian Peak Disciple was immersed in the teaching, listening with rapt attention, their bodies and minds completely absorbed, showing no reaction to external movements.

Even Jiang Li on the green jade platform never gave him a single glance.

He was like the only clown in this Sword Hall.

He fled in a panic.

As he reached the entrance, his heart trembled again.

Because he discovered two Golden Core Stage Elders of Tianjian Peak standing at the back door of the Sword Hall. These two Elders were also immersed in Jiang Li’s lecture, their eyes sometimes hazy, sometimes enlightened, sometimes slapping their thighs, their expressions incredibly vivid.

Even, even the Elders were convinced.

How could this be?

Golden Core Stage Elders at the very least had mastered the Realm of Sword Qi Manifestation, only a half-step away from comprehending the third Realm. How could such beings lose to a Foundation Establishment Disciple in Sword Dao foundation?

He was utterly astonished.

…

Time passed.

More than half a day went by.

Jiang Li’s lecture officially ended.

The Disciples in the Sword Hall awoke as if from a dream.

Their faces held a hint of melancholy.

After adjusting, their faces were filled with joy.

Today’s lecture had greatly benefited them.

They had a feeling of enlightenment.

They had a hunch that if they came a few more times, they might even be able to comprehend the Realm of Sword Qi Condensation.

“Senior Brother, will there be more lectures like today’s in the future?”

Upon hearing this.

All the Disciples on the field looked at Jiang Li with eager anticipation.

Jiang Li thought for a moment.

He felt that there might be a chance to gather Dragon Qi in the future, and said faintly, “Yes, there will be.”

Hearing this answer.

The Disciples were overjoyed.

They cupped their hands and said, “Thank you, Senior Brother, for your teaching today.”

“Ding! The Cultivation Technique, the Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill, has once again received the admiration of the masses. The Emperor’s Heart is operating, condensing five strands of Imperial Dynasty Dragon Qi.”

“Cultivation Technique Hosting has officially ended.”

It’s done.

Jiang Li regained control of his body.

He secretly rejoiced in his heart.

A total of 13 strands of Imperial Dynasty Dragon Qi were enough to push the Cultivation Technique, the Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill, completely to the Minor Achievement Realm.

Just then.

Li Yi, who had finished absorbing the Sword Dao insights, also slowly stood up and walked directly towards Jiang Li.

Many Tianjian Peak Disciples along the way frowned.

What does this Li Yi want to do?

Does he still want to cause trouble?

Li Yi stepped forward, cupped his hands, and performed a standard junior’s bow to Jiang Li, “Senior Brother, it was I, Li Yi, who overestimated myself before, even thinking of sparring with you in Sword Dao. I, Li Yi, am the first to be convinced that you should be the Chief of Tianjian Peak.”

The crowd was in an uproar.

Even Li Yi, the Prodigy ranked fifteenth in the Inner Sect, was convinced?

Indeed.

Senior Brother is the most formidable.

His Sword Dao attainment has already caught up with the older generation.

He is the number one Sword Dao practitioner among their new generation.

Jiang Li nodded slightly.

He looked at Li Yi a few more times.

So, it was you, kid, who was not up to par, causing me to become the Chief of Tianjian Peak.

Li Yi scratched his head.

Why did he feel that Senior Brother had some resentment towards him?

…

After leaving the Sword Hall.

Jiang Li rode the wind and headed straight for Thousand Weight Ground.

He wanted to go into seclusion.

Disappear for a month or so.

To completely eliminate the impact brought by this fame.

Just as he landed.

Jiang Li’s keen Divine Sense detected a dark figure not far away casting an ominous gaze at him. The owner of this gaze seemed to have no intention of hiding it; it was meant to guide him over.

His heart was startled.

This familiar ominous gaze reminded him of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

Have they finally come for him?

That deeply hidden Inner Sect Undercover.

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes and walked straight over.

On the back of the Black Profound Heavy Ruler Peak, Jiang Li saw this Ten Thousand Demons Sect Undercover lurking in the Inner Sect.

With just one glance.

Jiang Li’s eyes burst with strong killing intent, which quickly receded.

He saw that this figure was about fifty years old, with an unremarkable appearance and a gentle, approachable smile on his face. From his outward appearance, one could not tell any connection between him and a Demonic Sect Undercover.

“Tsk tsk, Asking the Dao Foundation Establishment, Tianjian Peak Chief, Sword Dao Genius. The halos on you are truly dazzling, so dazzling that I almost doubted if I had the wrong person.”

The middle-aged man’s peaceful expression turned sinister.

He looked at Jiang Li with great interest.

Jiang Li was expressionless.

His tone suddenly changed, “Just say it. What do you want from me?”

“As fellow undercovers, why be so unfeeling? But I do have something to ask of you. You participated in the Yinkui Sect’s Crusade, so you should know about the Yinkui Sect’s new Breakthrough in corpse refining techniques. Tianxuan Holy Land ambushed a large number of the Yinkui Sect’s secret strongholds and obtained this part of the technology, which is hidden in the Law Enforcement Hall. The Ten Thousand Demons Sect needs you to use your identity as a Law Enforcement Hall Disciple to acquire this technique.”

“This proposal has already been approved by the higher-ups of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, and Lord Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord is also somewhat dissatisfied with your operational efficiency, so you need to be quick this time.”

Jiang Li’s expression shifted slightly.

MAD.

This old fellow actually went to complain.

Otherwise, how could the Ten Thousand Desires Demon Lord know about the progress of his mission in the Law Enforcement Hall, and how could he assign him a new mission?

This was probably a test of his loyalty.

Worried that he had already betrayed the Ten Thousand Demons Sect.

“I understand.”

Jiang Li did not refuse.

When others suspect you’ve already betrayed them, it’s best if you actually have.
