I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Yongzhou is one of the nine provinces of the Central Region, located in the northern part of the Central Region, and its area is more than twice that of Qingzhou!
The sects and forces here are more complex and intertwined, the people are fierce and the monsters in the mountains are more ferocious than in other places, and unrest often breaks out. In order to maintain stability, the imperial court has stationed a million troops in Yongzhou all year round!

He ignored the excited telepathic message from the spirit of the World-Slaying Blade.

Jiang He took the little fox on a tour of Yongzhou City.

"what……"

After strolling through several streets, Jiang He suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Why does the layout of Yongzhou City seem so similar to that of Qingzhou City?"

"is it?"

The little fox had completely transformed into human form, even concealing her tail. She said, "This little demon has never been to Qingzhou City, but since you say it's similar, then it must be."

Ha ha!

The spirit of the World-Slaying Blade, which had been ignored by Jiang He for half a day, finally seized the opportunity.

He sneered.

The voice resounded in Jiang He and Xiao Yao's hearts, saying calmly, "It's not just Yongzhou City and Qingzhou City, but almost all nine prefectures in the Central Region are like this."

"Oh?"

Jiang He said, "Didn't you say before... that after you and your master entered the Kunlun Realm, you first captured Yongzhou City, and then you were ordered to go to Tianmen Pass, whereupon your former master was killed by a sword?"

"How can you know the layout of the cities of the Nine Provinces if you've never traveled there?"

There was a pause.

Jiang He continued, "Besides, what you saw was Yongzhou City a thousand years ago... Could it be that this city is still the same as it was a thousand years ago?"

"Master, you don't know this."

Dao Ling felt he finally had a chance to use his skills and explained, "The capital cities of the nine provinces in the Central Region have always been like this. In addition, there are the Holy King Cities of the Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern Regions... Haven't you noticed that the layout of the Holy King City in the Eastern Region is extremely similar to that of Qingzhou City and Yongzhou City?"

"And Qingzhou City, Yongzhou City, and Shengwang City are somewhat similar to Tianmen Pass in certain aspects?"

Jiang He's eyes flickered slightly.

like……

Is that really the case?
Dao Ling continued, "Because the capital cities of the nine states in the Central Region and the Holy King City of the four regions were originally built in imitation of Tianmen Pass... Back then, the Kunlun Realm spent a huge amount of financial, material, and human resources to build nine capital cities to suppress the nine states in the Central Region."

"Later, the Four Domains Holy King City was created... Kunlun Realm's original intention was to transform these thirteen cities into holy cities, just like Tianmen Pass!"

"The Kunlun Realm was too powerful back then, especially your ancestral star, Great Xia, which produced far too many experts. They had the strength and the ability."

"It was the news of the appearance of the Gate to the Immortal Realm that spread throughout the myriad realms, attracting a large number of experts from the Kunlun Realm to pursue the Gate to the Immortal Realm in the depths of the starry sky... Otherwise, if they had truly refined these thirteen cities into holy cities, they wouldn't even need to reach the level of the Heavenly Gate Pass to suppress Kunlun. Even if the Ten Clans Allied Army had ten times more combat power, they still wouldn't be able to conquer the Kunlun Realm!"

The Blade Spirit was already a "sacred realm" more than a thousand years ago.

Therefore, they certainly know more about the myriad realms than rivers do.

The ambition of the Kunlun Realm to transform these thirteen cities into holy cities by building the Nine Provinces City and the Four Domains Holy King City was no secret in the myriad realms, and he had naturally heard of it.

"Although these thirteen cities failed to become holy cities, they are still not comparable to ordinary cities."

“Every brick and tile in it is made of special materials, and all the buildings in the city are covered with holy rune restrictions... As long as they are not violently destroyed, they will not be damaged for tens of thousands of years.”

of course.

Even ordinary martial artists are unable to destroy it.

Jiang He was somewhat puzzled and said, "Building thirteen cities like this must have cost a lot, right? With these resources, why not just use them to train a powerful expert?"

Why bother with all this fancy stuff?

Do you think there were few powerful figures in the Kunlun Realm back then?

Dao Ling said, "Moreover, true powerhouses cannot be created simply by using resources... but holy cities can. Take Tianmen Pass, for example. Your Great Xia doesn't even have a single Saint Realm expert right now, but with Tianmen Pass there, even a Great Saint would find it difficult to break through!"

“Even an ordinary holy city with only one-tenth the power of Tianmen Pass, would be enough to contend with an Emperor-level being if it had a few Great Saints guarding it!”

"I see."

Jiang He said, "It's noon. Let's find a restaurant to eat at first, then take a good look around Yongzhou City, learn about the situation in Yongzhou, and then go find the Great Sage's Treasure Vault."

"do not!"

The sword spirit grew anxious.

He couldn't help but cry out, and with a "clang," the World-Slaying Blade flew out of its sheath. He hurriedly said, "Master, we won't starve if we skip a meal or two... Finding the Great Sage's Treasure Vault is the priority!"

The once bustling street suddenly fell silent.

From all directions, countless gazes turned to Jiang He... or more precisely, to the "World-Slaying Blade" floating in front of him!
Keep in mind that Jiang He had only just stepped out of the "teleportation array" in Yongzhou City not long ago.

This street is just one block away from the "teleportation array". It is bustling and one of the most "prosperous" commercial districts in Yongzhou City. All the pedestrians are powerful martial artists. Celestial Phenomenon Realm and Fish Dragon Realm can be seen everywhere. There is even a mid-level Half Saint in the crowd!
"........."

The sudden silence of the street alerted the sword spirit, which quickly slithered back into its sheath and fell silent.

Jiang He, with a dark expression, glanced around and then...

"Hahahaha!"

He laughed loudly a few times and said in a clear voice, "This Yongzhou City truly lives up to its reputation as one of the nine prefectures of the Central Region. It's too amazing... I've only just entered the city, and I've already seen a knife flying!"

"........."

The pedestrians on the street who had stopped to look blinked in disbelief. One of them couldn't help but say, "It's clearly your own knife... Weapons have spirits, even holy weapons can't do that, right? Is your knife an imperial weapon?"

"It really is an imperial weapon! I thought I was seeing things!"

"The spirit of that imperial weapon... what did it just say about the Great Sage's Treasure Vault?"

The sudden burst of discussion broke the silence that had lasted only a few seconds, and everyone stared intently at Jiang He.

Especially that demigod.

A glint of greed flashed in his eyes.

"Imperial Weapon... Great Sage's Treasury!"

"This kid should be a body cultivator. Judging from the strength of his qi and blood, he should be at the Body Refinement Star Realm... If I can defeat him, I will have a chance to become a saint in the future!"

Wiped it!

Jiang He's face turned green.

That damn Zankai-tō... all it does is cause trouble for itself!

Moreover, the group of people in front of me seemed quite intelligent, and the "excuse" I came up with on a whim didn't fool them at all!

Jiang He had sensed deep malice from some of the Fish-Dragon Realm cultivators and that Half-Saint!

"Young master, don't flaunt your wealth!"

The little fox lowered its voice and said, "Either an imperial weapon or a great saint's treasure vault is enough to make even saints and great saints envious... Now that Master possesses an imperial weapon and knows the whereabouts of a great saint's treasure vault, and these people also know about it, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

Jiang He was utterly bewildered. He said, "Forget it... let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, I'm not afraid of anyone in the Kunlun Realm except for the Wind Emperor. Let's go!"

He grabbed the little fox, activated his Ruyi Divine Speed ​​Technique, and vanished from the spot in a blur.

Some fish-dragons used their movement techniques to try and catch up with Jianghe, but they couldn't even see his shadow!

"What about the boy?"

"A mere Body Refinement Realm cultivator with such incredible speed... If I'm not mistaken, he must have mastered the physical supernatural ability [Ruyi Divine Foot Technique]... This is rather troublesome!"

"With his Body Refinement Star Realm cultivation, coupled with his mastery of the [Ruyi Divine Foot Technique], there are probably very few people in the Fish-Dragon Realm who can surpass him in speed!"

Someone sneered, "What's there to be afraid of... I have a secret technique that can track him down..."

These fish and dragons naturally knew this...

A Body Refinement Star Realm cultivator is not so easy to deal with.

So they formed alliances in small groups.

at the same time.

News of a "fat sheep" appearing in Yongzhou City spread quickly...

The terms "Imperial Weapon" and "Great Sage's Treasure Vault" quickly became the most discussed topics in restaurants, teahouses, brothels, and gambling dens!

There were even rumors that Jiang He's "portrait" was being sold on the street for 100 spirit stones, and that he made a fortune in just one day!
That evening, Jiang He's whereabouts were discovered at a restaurant called "Tianfeng Pavilion".

As soon as the news got out.

The Tianfeng Pavilion, which usually struggles to make ends meet, was fully booked in just two hours, and even the area outside the restaurant was packed with people.

There were even divine thoughts secretly observing the restaurant.

...Tianfeng Pavilion, third floor.

Inside a private room.

Jiang He sensed the commotion outside and was dumbfounded.

"Damn it..."

"Everyone says that the people of Yongzhou are tough... but I never expected them to be this tough!"

This is a complete bunch of bandits!

I can understand why you guys want to take my "Autumn Wind" (a metaphor for something valuable), after all, it's an "Imperial Weapon" and a "Great Sage's Treasure Trove"—if I heard about it myself, I'd be tempted too!

You guys could at least have done it more discreetly!

Do you really think I, Jiang, am invisible?
It's one thing for them to be eating and drinking in the lobby on the first floor, loudly discussing how to seize my "Imperial Weapon" and rob my "Great Sage's Treasure Vault," but what's going on with these guys in the room next to mine?
They actually started arguing fiercely about how to distribute the treasures in the "Imperial Weapon" and the "Great Sage's Treasury" after capturing me.

Even outside the restaurant.

Several groups even started fighting over their "ownership." If the experts and soldiers from the Yongzhou City Lord's Mansion hadn't arrived in time, it would probably have resulted in deaths!
Jiang He placed the Zhanjie Dao on the table.

The sword spirit trembled inside the sword, not daring to breathe.

Jiang He tapped the scabbard and asked, "What is it?"

"Now you've learned to play dead?"

"Aren't you going to give me an explanation for this?"

The sword spirit emerged from its sheath, poked its head out, looked around, and whispered, "Master, I know I was wrong... From now on, I will never reveal my identity as an Imperial Weapon in public!"

"Your attitude in admitting your mistake is alright, I forgive you."

Jiang He laughed and said, "Little demon, bring melon seeds over here."

Seeing Jiang He's relaxed expression, the sword spirit cautiously asked, "Master...aren't you worried?"

"worry about what?"

Jiang He munched on the melon seeds the little fox had given him, then took out the holy liquid and gulped down a few mouthfuls. He said, "The current figurehead of the Kunlun Realm is the Wind Emperor, and the Realm Lord of the Kunlun Realm is my elder brother!"

"I can kill a half-saint with a single slap, and I can easily crush a saint. These petty scoundrels outside haven't even sent a saint... What am I worried about?"

The sword spirit wanted to speak again.

But Jiang He interrupted him, saying, "Alright, stop arguing... You're disturbing my enjoyment of the show!"

The argument in the next room grew louder and louder.

Judging from the sounds, there should be six people in this group. Jiang He sensed them and found that there were five humans and one demon, all of whom were at the Fish-Dragon Realm. The weakest of them was a man at the mid-stage of the Fish-Dragon Realm. He was not human and his body was filled with a strong demonic aura.

He should be a "spirit pet" that overturns the old woman's fate in the Fish-Dragon Realm.

of course.

She couldn't really be called an old woman.

She must have been an old woman... She looked to be about fifty years old, and she was leaning on a purple-gold dragon-headed cane. Judging from the attitude of the other four people, they were quite afraid of this old woman.

"That imperial weapon is a sword... Among us, I am the only one who cultivates the way of the sword, so that sword naturally belongs to me!"

"Humph."

"Li San, you're being far too greedy... You dare to take an imperial weapon?"

"If you ask me, let's all stop arguing... Once we've captured that kid and seized the Imperial Weapon and the Great Sage's Treasury, we can take all the treasures to the Wanbaolou to sell, and split the proceeds in spirit stones equally."

The old woman glanced at the person who had spoken and said calmly, "I want three portions!"

The other four frowned and said unhappily, "Including your spirit pet, there are six of us... Each of us can take one share. If you take three shares, how are we supposed to divide them?"

Jiang He wasn't satisfied with what he heard.

So I went straight to the wall.

He grabbed the Zankai-tō, made two horizontal and two vertical cuts, creating a perfectly square hole in the wall. He poked his head through, grinned, and handed the Zankai-tō over, saying, "What's the point of all this arguing?"

"The World-Slaying Blade is right here... Why don't you two fight each other to the death, and I'll give the blade to whoever survives to the end?"

"Ok?"

Five people and one demon all looked over.

The old woman's eyes flickered slightly, and the fish-dragon realm demon beside her immediately understood, transforming into a blur as he reached out to grab the World-Slaying Blade!

His hand transformed into a dark, ferocious claw in mid-air.

call!
The air exploded.

A powerful burst of demonic energy caused all the furnishings in the room to be blown in all directions!

Jiang He flicked his wrist.

puff!

The sharp claws flung it away.

He thrust the World-Slaying Blade forward again, delivering a devastating blow to the mid-stage Fish-Dragon Realm demon.

"Ding!"

"You have killed a monster, Strength +100 Dragon Power".

A system notification sounded in my mind.

Jiang He took a step forward, smashing through the wall. With a flick of his World-Slaying Blade, he skillfully dug out the demon's "demon core," tossing it to the little fox behind him. He coldly said, "You piece of trash dare to covet my World-Slaying Blade and my Great Sage's Treasure Vault?"

at the same time.

Throughout the restaurant, everyone who had come from the river changed color.

Some hidden experts couldn't help but flock to the restaurant... fearing that Jiang He, this "fat sheep," would be snatched up by someone else!
"what!"

The old woman was heartbroken and roared, "Damn it... how dare you kill my little crocodile..."

puff!

Jiang He stabbed the old woman to death with a single blow, then suddenly stomped down hard, breaking through the floorboards beneath his feet!

He first fell to the second floor, and then did the same thing again, stepping through the floorboards to get to the first floor.

The first floor of "Tianfeng Pavilion" is a large hall with dozens of tables, which is now packed with people eating and drinking.

Most of these people came for the river, and they were all astonished to see the river "falling from the sky"!

Several Fish-Dragon Realm cultivators reacted swiftly, rushing towards Jiang He the instant he "descended from the sky." Jiang He activated his Qi and blood, drawing upon the "Law of Power," and infused the hidden force of the "Great Sage Fist" into the World-Slaying Blade. With a sweeping motion, the World-Slaying Blade cut the six Fish-Dragon Realm cultivators who had rushed towards him in half, and they fell to the ground dead.

"Ding!"

"You have killed a martial artist. Strength +100 Dragon Power".

"Ding!"

"You have killed a martial artist. Strength +100 Dragon Power".

"Ding……"

One system notification after another sounded. Feeling his strength increasing and his blood and qi growing, Jiang He licked his lips, feeling an urge to go on a killing spree and gain a huge amount of "experience".

However, he always prefers to "win people over with virtue" and usually tries to reason things out first when dealing with matters.

So he went to the nearest table, glanced at the dumbfounded martial artists sitting there, and said, "Get lost!"

The martial artists walked silently to the side without saying a word.
Snapped!
Jiang He slammed the World-Slaying Blade onto the table!
All eyes turned to the Zankai-tō again!

At this moment, Jiang He sensed at least 10 "sacred thoughts" falling on the World-Slaying Blade.

He pulled over a chair, sat down with an air of superiority, and stroked the Zhanjie Blade, saying, "This blade is called Zhanjie, how long... how long was it again?"

The sword spirit whispered a reminder.

Jiang He ignored him and said, "Anyway, it's about the same length as a normal sword; it's a damaged imperial weapon."

He looked around.

He said calmly, "I know everyone is eyeing my knife, hoping to use it to find the Great Sage's Treasure Vault... I advise everyone here: don't be greedy, don't covet what isn't yours, or you'll bring trouble upon yourself."

Say it.

Jiang He grabbed the World-Slaying Blade and stood up, saying, "I'll give you three days to consider... After three days, I will leave the city to search for the Great Sage's Treasure Vault. Anyone who dares to follow me out of the city, I will send them on their way!" (End of Chapter)
