Chapter 69: Practicing “Xiaoyao Chengfeng Jue”, Man-made Wind Disaster

Chapter 69: Cultivating the Carefree Wind-Riding Art, Man-made Wind Disaster

It was dusk, and the afterglow pierced through the dense tree canopy, casting dappled shadows.

The soldiers from the Demon Suppression Division ascended the mountain and escorted all the Disciples of Shenhuo Mountain Manor back.

No one resisted.

Even the Elders, who possessed Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivation, were silently led away, their faces ashen.

There were two great mountains before them.

One was an Immortal Master from Tianxuan Holy Land, a Golden Core Peak Cultivator, who suppressed their Sect Leader throughout, making it impossible for him to fight back, ultimately leading to his self-immolation.

The other was the Immortal Master’s highly skilled Disciple, a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator, who first killed a Foundation Establishment Peak Elder, then a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Little Sect Master, and finally pursued and eliminated the Sect Leader’s wife, who was a half-step Golden Core.

If they wanted to escape, they had to weigh whether they were a match for this master and Disciple pair.

The Demon Suppression Division soldiers collecting evidence frequently glanced at the master and Disciple under the shade of the trees.

Their reverence for them increased dramatically.

Under the shade of the trees.

Zhang Song looked at Jiang Li with a face full of emotion.

“My good Disciple, with your current level, you will surpass your master in less than three years. The waves behind push the waves ahead, and your master is very pleased. However… your character is too rigid and easily broken. Before you have enough strength, do not follow your master’s example of grandly patrolling and eliminating Yao Beasts.”

Jiang Li nodded silently.

From the Sect Leader’s wife’s mouth, he had basically learned about his teacher’s and these two people’s experiences.

When they were young, due to similar ideals, they journeyed together to slay Yao Beasts and eliminate demons, earning the reputation of the “Golden Iron Triangle.” However, precisely because their reputation was too great, it attracted an encirclement by the Demonic Sect, and the final result was that the Shenhuo Sect Leader and his wife retired together, coming to Jiangzhou to establish Shenhuo Mountain Manor.

His teacher, on the other hand, paid the price of an arm and returned to Tianxuan Holy Land.

From this, it could be seen that showing off always leads to trouble.

Lying low was the correct way to Cultivate Immortals.

He kept it in mind.

He decided to adopt it.

“By the way, my good Disciple, are you coming back with me or…?”

Zhang Song asked Jiang Li for his thoughts.

Jiang Li was silent for a moment, then shook his head: “Teacher, the impact of the destruction of Shenhuo Mountain Manor is still fermenting. I have decided to stay here for a while longer to ensure that Jiangzhou does not fall into chaos.”

Return to Tianxuan Holy Land now?

He must be joking.

He knew how much commotion he had caused during this period; his popularity was still very high.

Going back now would mean becoming the center of attention.

He planned to go back after some time, allowing his influence to decrease to its lowest point.

Moreover, performing Cultivation Technique Hosting Cultivation here, even if he caused any commotion, it would not spread back to Tianxuan Holy Land, which aligned with his consistent low-key approach.

Furthermore.

Since he had already come to Jiangzhou, he naturally didn’t want to miss out on the Power Of Will of Jiangzhou.

If he could erect a golden statue here, the speed at which he condensed Imperial Dynasty Dragon Qi would increase several times over.

Upon hearing this.

Zhang Song did not try to persuade him further.

He merely exhorted: “You must be careful of the Yinkui Sect branch lurking in Jiangzhou. The Tianxuan Holy Land’s punitive action eradicated over sixty secret experimental strongholds of the Yinkui Sect at once, but most of them were small strongholds. There are still larger, more deeply hidden strongholds that have not been found. Now that Shenhuo Mountain Manor has been destroyed, the Yinkui Sect will definitely know the news immediately, and it might not be safe here then.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Song’s expression also darkened, becoming incomparably gloomy.

“When I return this time, I will have the Law Enforcement Hall intensify their investigation into the Yinkui Sect branch and find all of them. The revenge for Shenhuo Mountain Manor, I will put it on their account.”

Jiang Li nodded.

“Teacher, I will only be in seclusion at Shenhuo Mountain Manor; nothing will happen.”

After a series of admonishments.

Zhang Song erected tombstones for his two friends, then departed on his sword, vanishing from the spot.

…

Not long after.

The System’s prompt sounded.

【Oath of Justice completed.】

【Heaven and Earth respond, giving feedback, Karma added to the body.】

The next second.

An anomaly appeared in the sky above Shenhuo Mountain.

A large amount of golden light appeared out of nowhere, forming golden flowers that fell from the sky, swirling around him.

Then.

A golden flower, still in bud, suddenly bloomed.

At the center of the pistil lay a golden jade, shimmering like flowing light.

Jiang Li’s face showed astonishment.

Golden flowers falling in profusion.

This was an anomaly recorded in ancient texts, only appearing for those with great Karma.

He, a Demonic Sect undercover agent, with Karma added to his body, and golden flowers falling in profusion?

How incongruous.

Now, if anyone told him he was an undercover agent, he would bring out this anomaly of golden flowers falling in profusion to slap their face.

Jiang Li couldn’t help but think.

Of course.

This was just an extra for this anomaly.

The real prize was the Heaven and Earth feedback after completing the Oath of Justice.

That is, the golden jade within the golden flower.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this was a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object of the metal attribute.

Refining it could elevate the quality of a metal-attribute Spiritual Root to a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

Jiang Li was secretly excited.

In this way, both his metal and fire Spiritual Roots could become Heavenly Spiritual Roots.

This Oath of Justice was well made.

Compared to eradicating a Shenhuo Mountain Manor, this level of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object was even rarer. Even a School with a Nascent Soul Cultivator presiding over it might not be able to produce such a supreme treasure.

And he only needed to eradicate a Golden Core School to obtain it.

This deal was too good.

Jiang Li took the golden jade and put it into his Storage Ring.

Immediately after.

The Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Body, borrowed from the Great Oath of Heaven and Earth, also dissipated at this moment.

The purple lightning that filled his body seemed to lose its support, disappearing from within him, leaving him feeling a prolonged sense of loss.

Having grown accustomed to the power brought by borrowing, he felt a bit unaccustomed to the sudden withdrawal of the debt.

Just as he was thinking.

The mechanical electronic voice sounded again.

【Ding, the Cultivation Technique “Supreme Divine Thunder Induction Heart Sutra” has been sensed by Heaven and Earth. You need to eliminate one hundred sinners within three months to repay the Dao to Heaven.】

Damn.

He wasn’t melancholic at all anymore.

Repaying one debt required eliminating one hundred sinners; who could afford to borrow that?

“System, don’t borrow from it next time. The interest is too high. Let it guard its broken power and eat dirt.”

Jiang Li secretly cursed.

He suddenly became quite unhappy.

One hundred sinners, how long would it take to find them?

It wasn’t every time that he would have the chance to encounter organizations like the Zhou Family or Shenhuo Mountain Manor, where everyone was evil.

After thinking for a moment.

Jiang Li called for the vanguard general, General Lu Dali.

“General Lu, are there any other forces in Jiangzhou similar to Shenhuo Mountain Manor?”

General Lu Dali shook his head frantically: “Immortal Master, the situation with Shenhuo Mountain Manor is the first case the Demon Suppression Division has encountered in over a decade. While other Schools and aristocratic families occasionally have unruly situations, they generally adhere to the rules of the Piaomiao Dynasty. However, there are quite a few Yao Beast calamities.”

“Now that Shenhuo Mountain Manor has fallen, those Yao Beasts eyeing Jiangzhou will probably take the opportunity to test the waters.”

Jiang Li’s expression shifted slightly.

In the Cultivation world, the Human Race was supreme, but besides the Human Race, there was also the Yao Race.

Yao Beasts fed on humans, and the stronger the Cultivator, the more delicious their flesh and blood.

Under this premise, the relationship between the Yao Race and the Human Race was irreconcilable.

Human Race Cultivators hunted Yao Beasts for Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and as Materials.

Yao Race Yao Beasts, on the other hand, used humans to replenish their Qi and Break through to higher Realms.

The Yinkui Sect’s corpse refining technique also used Yao Beast bodies as Materials.

Slaying Yao Beasts should also be counted on the list of sinners.

“If there is a Yao Beast calamity, you can contact me anytime. I will be at Shenhuo Mountain Manor.”

Upon hearing this.

General Lu Dali was overjoyed.

The current Demon Suppression Division was in dire need of strong support.

If they could win over this Immortal Master, Jiangzhou’s situation would immediately stabilize.

“Thank you, Immortal Master. Having the Immortal Master here is a blessing for the people of Jiangzhou.”

General Lu Dali was moved to tears of gratitude.

He quickly called over a dozen Demon Suppression Division soldiers, instructing them to tidy up Shenhuo Mountain Manor’s residence, as the Immortal Master was going to stay.

Upon hearing such good news, these dozen soldiers scrambled.

Each of them wanted to be at the forefront, serving the Immortal Master.

Jiang Li found it annoying.

Fortunately, this wasn’t Tianxuan Holy Land, otherwise, with this influence, he would have to go into seclusion for a while again.

…

Two days passed.

Jiang Li officially settled down in Shenhuo Mountain Manor.

This once-famous Cultivation School was now silent, with only about a hundred Demon Suppression Division soldiers patrolling daily to ensure no one disturbed the Immortal Master on the mountain.

As for Jiang Li, he was preparing to begin cultivating his movement technique.

In this battle at Shenhuo Mountain Manor, Jiang Li discovered that he still had shortcomings in his movement technique.

The Minor Achievement Realm of the Carefree Wind-Riding Art was simply not enough.

He needed to push this movement technique completely to the Major Achievement Realm.

“Activate the Cultivation Technique growth plan.”

【Activation successful.】

【Movement technique “Carefree Wind-Riding Art” begins action.】

The next second.

Jiang Li’s body was taken over by the movement technique, and he walked straight out of the main hall.

Standing at the edge of the cliff.

He stepped out, rising into the air.

This time.

Jiang Li had prepared himself mentally.

No action of the movement technique could scare him.

Soon.

Jiang Li, whose body was Hosting by the movement technique, leaped into mid-air.

He advanced unhurriedly against the wind.

Feeling the breath of the wind.

As time passed, the image of the wind in Jiang Li’s hand became clearer.

A ball of wind began to take shape.

Forming a small tornado.

Jiang Li: Hey, no, shouldn’t you be reciting poetry and showing off? What is this again?

He thought of the four stages of this movement technique.

Chasing the wind, merging with the wind, controlling the wind, becoming the wind.

And now…

It was the stage of controlling the wind.

Could this “controlling” refer to man-made wind disasters?!

He stayed in Jiangzhou to erect a golden statue, not to be a human-shaped natural disaster.
