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

"Oh?"

"Dan Realm?"

Jiang He's eyes lit up, and he stood up, saying, "Where is the Pill Realm? Let's set off now and pay a visit to the Lord of the Pill Realm!"

"Master, please don't be anxious."

Dao Ling said, "The Pill Realm is different from other worlds... The beings in the Pill Realm are all born from and attained enlightenment through spiritual pills and holy pills. Therefore, every being in the Pill Realm has a great attraction to other races. The Pill Realm has been hidden away for more than a dozen eras, and no one has been able to discover its location until now."

"Moreover, the ancestor of the Pill Realm is an immortal pill that originated from the Gate of the Immortal Realm. His strength is formidable, reaching the level of invincibility. Even if we find the Pill Realm, it will be very difficult for you and me to break in."

Jiang He was speechless, then cursed, "Then what the hell are you talking about!"

He multitasked, simultaneously studying the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, practicing the Great Sage Fist, and communicating with the sword spirit, asking, "Among all the heavens, what other special world beings exist?"

When this was mentioned, Dao Ling perked up.

He's always been a chatterbox.

He was then refined into a sword spirit and trapped in the sword for over a thousand years. He usually dared not speak carelessly, fearing that Jiang He would throw him into a latrine to suppress him. Now that Jiang He had asked him, he immediately began to tell his story in a great deal of detail.

“Master, the myriad realms are vast, and many strange and wonderful creatures have been born there.”

"Let's leave the Pill Realm aside for now... Actually, in all the myriad worlds, there is also a 'Weapon Realm,' which, as the name suggests, is a world composed of the spirits of magical treasures!"

"Legend has it that the Lord of the Artifact Realm is a flying boat called the Boat of the Other Shore. Like the Lord of the Pill Realm, the Boat of the Other Shore is also a treasure that came from the Gate of the Immortal Realm. It is said that whoever obtains the Boat of the Other Shore can transcend and reach the other shore."

"One can cross the Gate to the Immortal Realm by boat and ascend to immortality!"

Jiang He asked curiously, "Isn't it said that only imperial weapons have spirits? Does that mean that the artifact realm is inhabited by a large group of imperial weapons?"

"No, no."

The sword spirit shook its head and said, "Since it is the realm of weapons, it is naturally different from ordinary weapons and magic treasures. Legend has it that the realm master of the weapon realm can enlighten weapons. Once enlightened, even ordinary fine iron swords have the opportunity to give birth to spirituality."

"Among all the heavens, there is also a realm of demons."

"The beings of the Demon Realm are succubi, extremely special creatures that possess an unparalleled attraction to the opposite sex..."

"Legend has it that before the last era, there was a God Realm... The God Realm was once the ruler of all realms, commanding and enslaving them, but in the end, it was pulled down from its pedestal by all races, its realm was destroyed and its races were wiped out... Another example is the True Dragon Great World."

"The True Dragon Great World is the territory of the Dragon Clan, who are also one of the dominant races in the myriad worlds. In terms of strength and foundation, they can be compared with the Golden Crow Clan, the Witch Clan, and the Stone Clan."

Jiang He listened attentively.

He practiced the Great Sage Fist for a while, then began practicing swordsmanship.

Jiang He now possesses an absurd number of weapons, including a mountain of sacred weapons and even some imperial weapons. The sword in his hand is an imperial weapon, and its spirit has been erased and reshaped by Zhu Lingzhi, transforming into a graceful and alluring female spirit.

After practicing his swordsmanship for twenty minutes, Jiang He suddenly stopped.

"what?"

He exclaimed in surprise, then flipped his hand to put away the imperial weapon sword and took out a mid-grade holy weapon longsword. After pondering for a few seconds, he said, "Sword Spirit, would you like to witness the ancient magic tricks passed down in our Great Xia Dynasty?"

"Ancient magic tricks?"

The sword spirit asked, "What is that? Is it a great divine power?"

Jiang He: "Ancient magic tricks are not supernatural powers, but rather a kind of folk art that has been passed down in the Great Xia Dynasty. Some of the more well-known ones include [The Immortal Picks Beans], [The Three Immortals Return to the Cave], and [The Rope That Reaches Heaven]."

He raised the sacred sword, tilted his head back, and pointed the tip of the sword at his mouth, saying, "There is a very famous trick in the ancient magic of the Great Xia Dynasty called 'Swallowing an Iron Sword.' Let me demonstrate it for you!"

"???"

The sword spirit was completely bewildered.

Is my master... having another episode?
Why did you suddenly decide to perform magic tricks?

However, as a sword spirit, he knew exactly what he should do. He immediately clapped his hands and exclaimed, "I didn't expect my master to be so talented, even knowing such tricks!"

Jiang He said smugly, "How can we martial artists survive in the martial world without a few skills?"

talking.

He pressed his hand down sharply.

puff!
The sharp blade of the mid-grade holy weapon longsword was instantly stuffed into Jiang He's mouth, leaving only the hilt outside.

He groaned softly.

The sword spirit quickly asked, "What's wrong, Master?"

Jiang He, with a sword in his mouth, mumbled, "What? It's stuck in my throat."

then.

He suddenly opened his mouth wide and swallowed the mid-grade holy weapon longsword, hilt and all, into his stomach.

The sword spirit stared in disbelief, exclaiming, "Master...you...you really swallowed it?"

Jiang He cursed, "Nonsense, swallowing an iron sword alive is definitely true!"

"That...that..."

The sword spirit was somewhat incredulous, saying, "I've seen similar tricks before. It's said that there's something mysterious about the sword, and it doesn't actually swallow the blade, nor does it swallow the hilt afterward..."

"If you... if you really swallow it, how will you spit it out?"

"Ding!"

"Refine the sacred weapon, strength +10000 Dragon Power".

A crisp and pleasant system notification sounded in his mind. Jiang He patted his belly, feeling the rise in his strength and blood, and chuckled, "You've been following me for so long, have you ever seen me vomit up anything I've eaten?"

"Besides, it's just a mid-grade holy weapon, easy to digest, what's there to be afraid of?"

really!

I was right!

Consuming sacred weapons can also enhance the basic strength of the physical body!

This seemed to open the door to a new world for Jiang He. He couldn't help but think, "The things I eat can be refined quickly... Saint Source, Saint Weapon, and all kinds of rare and precious elixirs are the same!"

"So……"

"What about other things?"

For example, spirit stones?

Spirit Ore?

He pondered for a few seconds, then flipped his hand and took out a low-grade holy weapon sword.

This time he was smarter. Instead of swallowing it directly, he used force in his hands to knead the low-grade holy weapon into a ball, and then compressed it several times with a little more force, directly compressing the low-grade holy weapon sword into a ball the size of an egg.

He opened his mouth and threw the "egg" in.

Gudong.

Swallow.

hum!
A peculiar power spread through his abdomen, and the low-grade holy weapon sword quickly melted, transforming into strands of pure power that seeped into Jiang He's limbs and bones.

"Ding!"

"Refine the sacred weapon, Strength +10000 Dragon Power!"

"10000 Dragon Force?"

Jiang He frowned, then couldn't help but wonder, "One is a mid-grade holy weapon, the other a low-grade holy weapon. Their grades are completely different, so why do they increase physical strength by the same amount after being refined?"

He has many sacred weapons.

Jiang He flipped his hand and poured out a large pile of holy weapons from his storage ring, randomly selecting three to refine: a low-grade holy weapon, a mid-grade holy weapon, and a high-grade holy weapon.

This time, the data showed a discrepancy again. The refining of a low-grade holy weapon increased "1000 dragon power", the refining of a mid-grade holy weapon increased "10000 dragon power", and the refining of a high-grade holy weapon increased "10 dragon power".

"What's going on?"

Jiang He was puzzled. He divided the pile of holy weapons into four piles: low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. He then randomly picked out a crescent-shaped scimitar from the medium-grade holy weapons.

The sword spirit came closer, examined the crescent moon sword carefully, and clicked its tongue in amazement, saying, "The refining technique of this holy weapon is really crude. With such top-quality materials, it would be easy to refine a high-grade holy weapon, but it only turned out to be a mid-grade holy weapon. It's such a waste!"

"Ok?"

These words made a thought flash through Jiang He's mind.

He swallowed and refined this mid-grade holy weapon.

"Ding!"

"Refine the sacred weapon, strength increased by 10 dragon power."

"I see!"

Jiang He suddenly realized: "The increase in power brought about by refining a sacred weapon is related to the materials used in the sacred weapon... Although most sacred weapons are generally fine in terms of materials, it cannot be ruled out that some weapon refiners are either too poor or too good!"

If you give a craftsman with poor skill a bunch of materials that can be used to forge a mid-grade holy weapon, he might only be able to forge a low-grade holy weapon.

A highly skilled weapon refiner can "turn the rotten into the miraculous".

If you give him a bunch of refining materials that can only be used to refine a mid-grade holy weapon, he might even have a chance to refine a high-grade holy weapon!
Having figured this out, Jiang He then turned his attention to a "top-grade holy weapon" battle sword!
The value of a top-grade holy weapon is extremely high, enough for a great saint to use in his cultivation.

Jianghe has seized more than 1 holy weapons, but the number of top-grade holy weapons is less than 1% of the total, only 88 pieces.

He took out a top-grade holy weapon short sword and swallowed it.

soon.

The short sword was "digested" and transformed into strands of pure "metallic energy" that flowed into Jiang He's limbs and bones, strengthening his physical body!
He could clearly feel his blood, flesh, internal organs, muscles, bones, and skin rapidly becoming stronger under the reinforcement of these strands of "metallic energy"!
"Ding!"

"Refine the sacred weapon, strength increased by 100 dragon power."

A system notification sounded in my mind.

Jiang He stretched, and because of the fierce increase in his blood and qi, blood and qi gushed out from his pores and acupoints, filling the entire cultivation chamber with a blood-red color.

His face lit up with joy, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "As expected of a top-grade holy weapon, it's truly amazing!"

"and!"

The spirit of the World-Slaying Blade was displeased to hear this "praise" and said, "It's just a mere top-grade holy weapon. In front of our imperial weapons, it's no different from scrap metal."

Jiang He slapped his forehead and said, "That's right... Refining a top-grade holy weapon can increase my physical strength by 100 million dragon power, and my physical body is greatly strengthened. If I refine an emperor weapon, how powerful will my physical body become?"

As he spoke, Jiang He looked the Zhan Jie Dao up and down, and even stuck out his tongue to lick his lips!

"........."

The sword spirit was dumbfounded.

He never imagined that a mere "battle of egos" would put him in a "life-or-death crisis." He was immediately terrified, his eyes darting around as he hurriedly said, "Master, what I mean is, I've been with you since we were humble beginnings, and we have a deep bond. How can those pieces of scrap metal compare to that?"

Jiang He stared at the World-Slaying Blade without saying a word.

The sword spirit panicked: "Master, have you forgotten? You've said many times that you'd suppress me in the latrine... so I'm no longer clean. As for imperial weapons, don't you still have some on you? Besides, there must be imperial weapons stored inside Tianmen Pass. If you ask, Qin Jiuzhou will definitely send them to you."

Ok!

Jiang He withdrew his gaze. Although the spirit of the World-Slaying Blade was a bit talkative, it could shout "666". Having someone shouting slogans like that by your side during a fight would instantly boost your combat power!
Moreover, what the Blade Spirit said is correct; he himself possesses quite a few Imperial Weapons.

For example, the Great Saints of the Scourge contributed four items to themselves.

There's no need for these four imperial weapons. Besides, those great saints are already dead, and the spirits of the imperial weapons have almost dissipated. We can just devour them directly.

Compared to top-grade holy weapons, imperial weapons are much harder and cannot be kneaded. Swallowing them directly would easily damage the intestines and stomach. So Jianghe activated "Law of Heaven and Earth," transforming into a figure over three meters tall, and swallowed an imperial weapon spear into his belly with one mouth.

hum!
As the imperial weapon melted, a powerful "metallic aura" began to spread within his abdomen.

Jianghe's abdomen instantly swelled up, turning into a round, plump balloon.

Fortunately, he had experienced this situation many times before, so he was not flustered at all. He even used the [Eight-Nine Arcane Technique] to break through the bottleneck of the "Seventh Revolution".

As the "metallic energy" spread within his body, his physical physique rapidly strengthened, and his blood and qi surged wildly—

"Ding!"

"Refine the Emperor Weapon, Strength +1 Star Power".

As the system notification sounded in his mind, Jiang He's blood and qi surged involuntarily, and the bottleneck of the "seventh stage" of the [Eight-Nine Arcane Technique] was directly broken in the instant of this power increase!

Rumble!
Jiang He's physical strength increased once again, and the number after the [Strength] column on the system familiar panel jumped wildly, finally settling at "400 Star Power".

"Good guy!"

"The breakthrough to the seventh stage of the [Eight-Nine Arcane Technique] is actually more powerful than refining dozens of imperial weapons?"

"As expected of a body-refining technique passed down from the [Gate of the Immortal Realm]... If one cultivates this to the eighth stage, to what extent will the physical strength increase?"

He clenched his fist suddenly, and a terrifying sonic boom exploded in the secret chamber, even shaking the entire training room!

With a physical foundation of 400 stars' power, he is already comparable to a "Four-Star Great Sage".

But Jianghe was not satisfied.

He steadied himself and continued refining the sacred and imperial weapons, while also multitasking by practicing the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, the Great Sage Fist, the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, and sword and saber techniques.

In addition, the [Eight-Nine Arcane Arts] also records some physical techniques, including fist techniques, leg techniques, and palm techniques, which also require study and comprehension!
of course.

The most important one is the [spatial teleportation technique].

Three days in a row.

Jiang He has consumed four imperial weapons and more than eight hundred holy weapons, and his physical strength has increased to 458 star power!

Fourth day.

Rumble!
The secret chamber door rose, and Jiang He walked out of the Enlightenment Hall, passed through the Heavenly Gate, and headed towards the heavens.

Zhu Lingzhi sensed Jiang He's presence and flew after him, asking curiously, "What are you doing in the outer heavens, young master?"

Jiang He said, "After cultivating for so long, I feel I've almost mastered the Spatial Teleportation Technique recorded in the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts. Let's go try it out in the outer heavens..."

…………

at the same time.

In the distant depths of the starry sky.

On the deck of the Imperial Warship, a wisp of gray mist fell and transformed into the appearance of Wu Jiu.

The emperors inside the ship quickly emerged to inquire about the situation.

Wu Jiu said, "Just as I predicted... those powerful figures from the Kunlun Realm have not returned, but the situation is not optimistic either. Now the world origin of the Kunlun Realm has been completely revived, and the Heavenly Gate Pass has been completely unsealed, rising above the nine heavens of the Kunlun Realm."

"That Jiang He comes from the ancestral star of the human race in the Kunlun Realm..."

At this point, he paused slightly, weighing his words for a long time, but did not reveal the much information he had gathered about the river... because in Wu Jiu's view, that information was too false and there was no need to reveal it to disturb the morale of the army.

He looked into the distance.

The colossal star altar, measuring in "light-years" in height, had been completed. He then changed the subject, saying, "The Kunlun Realm was once the number one realm among all the heavens, with profound foundations. Now that it has been fully revived, we must not give them time to develop!"

"I believe... once the news from the Ancestor arrives, we can set off with our army and descend upon Kunlun!" (End of Chapter)
