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

A journey across the stars is extremely boring.

Fortunately, Zhu Lingzhi was by Jiang He's side, and coincidentally, Zhu Lingzhi also needed Jiang He's help to recover her cultivation... The two traveled along the way, stopping occasionally to stay for a couple of days in some passing star systems to balance their yin and yang.

The journey to the stars is long and arduous.

Time and again, space travel, constant shifting... occasionally borrowing "interstellar teleportation arrays" from various star systems, star regions, and large and small worlds, the speed isn't too slow.

One day, more than a month later.

hum!
A ripple spread through the space.

Two figures emerged from the "dark space" and arrived at the "shattered star belt" outside the Kunlun Realm.

The spacetime within the "Shattered Star Belt" was incredibly chaotic, with various supernatural powers and holy arts remaining everywhere... Jiang He even saw a remnant of a supernatural power, seemingly left behind by the bone race "Lich King" from last time.

Looking at the "Shattered Star Belt" in front of him, Jiang He couldn't help but recall the battle where he ambushed the vanguard army of the Ten Clans Alliance in the "Shattered Star Belt".

At that time, his maximum combat power was barely at the threshold of the Great Emperor realm, and he couldn't gain any advantage against the "Hellfire Emperor" of the Golden Crow Clan.

Thanks to Zhu Lingzhi's help at the time, otherwise it's uncertain whether we could have stopped the vanguard army of the Ten Clans Alliance!

Before I knew it, it had all happened...

The six races of Bone Clan, Blood Clan, Barbarian Ancestor, Insect Clan, Heavenly Demon Clan, and Crystal Clan sealed off their realms. The Heavenly Demon Clan's progenitor emperor was wiped out, and countless Great Saints and Saint Realm members were killed or injured. Even the Heavenly Demon Progenitor Realm was on the verge of destruction.

The Ten Clans Alliance has been completely defeated!

Jiang He couldn't help but sigh, "Truly, life is unpredictable... Who could have imagined that the once invincible ten clans would be so easily defeated?"

puff!

Zhu Lingzhi was amused by Jiang He's words. She pursed her red lips and teased, "Who told those ten clans to be so blind as to offend you, the greatest body-refining genius of all time?"

"What body-refining genius?"

Jiang He waved his hand modestly and said, "That's a compliment to me... Besides, I don't think the word 'genius' is a compliment to me, but rather a derogatory term."

With a serious expression, he said earnestly, "My current strength is due to my persistent and tireless efforts in cultivation. How can I attribute it all to talent?"

"........."

Zhu Lingzhi remained silent for a while before saying, "Yes, yes, young master, you are absolutely right."

"???"

Jiang He: "Why do I feel like there's a lot of resentment in your words?"

Zhu Lingzhi said resentfully, "Young Master must have misheard. How could I possibly hold a grudge against you... Young Master, once we pass through this Stardust Belt, we can teleport directly into Kunlun."

"go!"

"Let's hurry back. Emperor Feng and Qin Jiuzhou are still waiting for your good news, young master."

It is clear.

Zhu Lingzhi didn't want to talk too much about this topic with Jiang He.

However, Jiang He was unaware of this.

Even as Zhu Lingzhi pulled him into the "Shattered Star Belt," he didn't give up his explanation, saying, "It should be February of 2027 in the Great Xia Calendar now... I've been cultivating my body for two and a half years!"

"Everyone says that Jiang He is a genius in body cultivation, a legend in body cultivation... but how do they know how much I have sacrificed in the past two and a half years?"

"........."

Zhu Lingzhi ignored Jiang He's words and just kept hurrying on his way.

Her cultivation level has almost recovered to its peak. She can fly at full speed and quickly crosses the "Shattered Star Belt" to the outer reaches of the Kunlun Realm, and then moves into the Kunlun Realm.

Almost the instant Jiang He and Zhu Lingzhi entered the Kunlun Realm, Qin Jiuzhou, who controlled the "Origin Power of the World" in the Kunlun Realm, discovered them.

next moment--

boom!
A powerful aura flew out from Tianmen Pass and quickly arrived beside Jiang He.

"Sixth Brother!"

A familiar voice rang in his ears. Jiang He turned his head and exclaimed happily, "Seventh Brother!"

Qin Jiuzhou, dressed in a black training uniform, exuded an extraordinary air. He looked Jiang He up and down and said, "Sixth Brother, you've been gone for more than three months. Do you know how worried your Seventh Brother was about you?"

aside.

Zhu Lingzhi finally couldn't hold back and asked the question that had been bothering her: "Young Master... Lord Qin calls you Sixth Brother, so why do you call Lord Qin Seventh Brother?"

Qin Jiuzhou has mastered the world's origin power in the Kunlun Realm, so Zhu Lingzhi calling him "Lord Qin" is not wrong.

Mentioning this matter, Jiang He couldn't help but think of Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Mazi, and he couldn't help but recall that night when he first met Qin Jiuzhou in the wilderness outside the Jiangnan Base City. He smiled and said:
"This is a long story... Lingzhi should know that I have three sworn brothers."

Zhu Lingzhi nodded and said, "I heard about the Third, Fourth and Fifth Masters of the Seven Swordsmen of Anning when I was at Tianmen Pass."

She understood somewhat.

His suspicious gaze swept between Jiang He and Qin Jiuzhou, and he asked in a somewhat uncertain tone, "So, young master, you are the sixth in line, and Realm Lord Qin is the seventh? But why do you call Realm Lord Qin 'Seventh Brother'?"

Jiang He: "Seventh Brother is older than me..."

"........."

"no!"

Qin Jiuzhou grew anxious and said, "Gentlemen, now is not the time to talk about such gossip... Sixth Brother, didn't you say you were going to the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Realm to settle your grudges?"

"how?"

"Have we reached the territory of the Heavenly Demon Clan?"

Seeing Qin Jiuzhou staring at him expectantly, Jiang He couldn't help but give a wry smile.

perhaps……

Seventh Brother was hoping that I would completely destroy the Heavenly Demon Ancestor Realm and the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, but I failed to do so!

Thinking of this, Jiang He felt a sudden pang of self-reproach and couldn't help but raise his hand—

Snapped!
I slapped myself.

"???"

Zhu Lingzhi's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, and she stood there dumbfounded.

"I'm afraid that Sixth Brother's trip to the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Realm this time was not very successful..."

Qin Jiuzhou secretly guessed what was going on, stepped forward and patted Jiang He on the shoulder, smiling and comforting him: "It's okay, Sixth Brother, you're still young, you have a long road ahead... When I, Seventh Brother, prove myself as a Great Emperor and reach the [Invincible] realm, I will personally accompany you to the Heavenly Demon Ancestor Realm."

Jiang He shook his head.

Qin Jiuzhou said, "What? You want to settle your karmic debt with the Heavenly Demon Clan yourself? Then cheer up, cultivate diligently, and when the time comes, smash that damn Heavenly Demon Ancestral Realm to pieces with one punch to vent your anger."

Jiang He said, "Seventh Brother, that's not what I meant..."

Qin Jiuzhou: "???"

Jiang He: "What I mean is, Seventh Brother, your cultivation speed is too slow. By the time you reach the [Invincible] level, the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Realm will have long since disappeared!"

Hey!
Qin Jiuzhou's face darkened, and he was about to curse when Jiang He changed his tone and said, "I'm sorry... Seventh Brother, I've let you down and disappointed you." So he swallowed the curses that were on the tip of his tongue. Qin Jiuzhou comforted him for a few moments and asked, "What exactly happened when you went to the Heavenly Demon Clan's territory?"

Jiang He said, "My original intention in going to the territory of the Heavenly Demon Clan was to kill the Heavenly Demon Ancestor and annihilate the Heavenly Demon Clan..."

"But in the end, I underestimated these old pioneers!"

At this point, Jiang He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and his eyes turned red as he said viciously, "That damned old demon thief actually abandoned the Ancestral Realm of the Heavenly Demons and countless people of the Heavenly Demon Clan and ran away!"

"........."

Qin Jiuzhou's eyes widened. This seemed different from what he had imagined.
He asked urgently, "No... what exactly is going on?"

"Sixth Brother, speak slowly, don't rush."

then.

Jiang He began by recounting his journey from Kunlun Realm to the Heavenly Demon Ancestor. When Qin Jiuzhou heard that Jiang He had fought against the Heavenly Demon Ancestor, who controlled the "Power of the Origin of the World," outside the Heavenly Demon Ancestor Realm, his brows twitched violently.

When he heard that the seven progenitors, Emperor Lu Ya, and the spirit of the Fusang Divine Tree had joined forces to besiege Jiang He, he felt his heart leap into his throat.

"Unfortunately……"

"After all, I cultivate my body, so my physical physique is slightly stronger than that of an ordinary Great Emperor!"

"Moreover, the most outstanding aspect of our body tempering is endurance... I fought against the seven progenitors, Lu Ya, and the tree spirit of the Fusang Divine Tree without suffering any losses, and even took the opportunity to kill Emperor Lu Ya!"

"........."

Qin Jiuzhou's heart trembled violently. He said, "You just said... that Lu Ya Emperor of the Golden Crow Clan is the Crown Prince of the Golden Crow Ancestor? He has the cultivation level of the Ancestor?"

Jiang He nodded.

Qin Jiuzhou murmured, "You...you've achieved the [Invincible] level?"

Jiang He shook his head and said, "No, I only barely possess the combat power of [Invincible], I haven't cultivated [Invincible]... By the way, Seventh Brother, the story isn't finished yet, do you still want to hear it?"

He then recounted how he had returned to the Heavenly Demon Ancestor Realm, forcing the Heavenly Demon Ancestor to flee, breaching the Heavenly Demon Ancestor Realm, and severely damaging its world origin power.

"After that, I went to the Crystal Clan's Primordial Realm."

“That scoundrel from the Crystal Clan is quite cunning. After a great battle with me, he chose to seal off his territory and escape… The Heavenly Demon Clan, Bone Clan, Blood Clan, Insect Clan, and Barbarian Clan all followed suit and sealed off their territories.”

Jiang He sighed, "I made quite a commotion this time, but the only ancestor-level being I actually killed was Lu Ya, the Golden Crow Emperor... I have truly failed to live up to your expectations, Seventh Brother."

"We will not let you down, we will not let you down."

Qin Jiuzhou stared blankly.

He quickly realized what was happening and grabbed Jiang He's hands, saying, "Sixth Brother, so... the crisis of the ten clans has been completely resolved?"

Jiang He thought for a moment and said, "It's not completely over. I heard that the old bastard Jinwu Ancestor wanted to return to the heavens to avenge his son... Although my master stopped him, such a being... might come back any day."

Qin Jiuzhou didn't care at all and laughed, "It's alright. Even if the Golden Crow Ancestor kills all the heavens and myriad realms, it's all for the sake of killing you... Given his status, he shouldn't personally attack Kunlun."

"........."

No, killing me isn't a crisis?
Qin Jiuzhou ignored Jiang He and said, "Let's go... hurry back to Tianmen Pass. This is great news, and we must announce it to the world as soon as possible!"

However, upon returning to Tianmen Pass, Qin Jiuzhou changed his mind, saying, "Jiang He, I think it's best to keep this matter a secret for now."

Jiang He, puzzled, asked, "Why?"

Qin Jiuzhou pointed to various places around Tianmen Pass and said, "Now, all the warriors in Kunlun Realm and Ancestral Star are determined to become stronger, resist the Ten Clans, defend Kunlun, and protect their homeland!"

"I'm afraid that once this news gets out, everyone's enthusiasm will dissipate."

This is true.

Only when faced with an absolute crisis can people feel a sense of urgency and more easily unleash their potential.

The river observes the entire Tianmen Pass.

Every martial artist living there was cultivating frantically, especially those Jiang He knew well... the older generation such as Liu Feng, Xiahou Wu, Chen Jingzhou, Zhuo Bufan, Ning Caishen, and so on.

These people have all cultivated to the level of a semi-saint.

Among the younger generation, Duanmu Feng, Li Wanqing, and others have also entered the realm of half-saint.

This is normal.

These people were already quite famous in the Great Xia Dynasty, each considered a "genius" in their respective eras. They were blessed with the fortune of the Great Xia Dynasty and nurtured by the abundant resources of Tianmen Pass, so it was only natural that they cultivated to the level of a half-saint.

The only thing that surprised Jiang He was his father-in-law, Yun Zheng.

He actually cultivated to the peak of the Fish-Dragon Realm, and there was a "sacred power" flowing in his body. He had obviously obtained a sacred source to refine and was not far from entering the semi-saint realm. He must have had some kind of fortuitous encounter.

"It's better not to say anything."

Jiang He laughed and said, "Anyway, we didn't manage to completely wipe out the ten clans, so it's not exactly good news."

Qin Jiuzhou then asked, "What are your plans now that you've come back?"

Jiang He said, "Let's rest for a while... and while we're at it, let's go back to our ancestral star. If I'm not mistaken, it's almost the end of the year?"

"Ah."

Qin Jiuzhou nodded and smiled, "Now that the crisis of the ten races has been resolved, we can go back to our ancestral star to celebrate the New Year this year... You said before that you wanted to go to the Hell Realm, are you really going?"

Qin Jiuzhou's smile faded as he asked this question.

He glanced at Zhu Lingzhi and said, "Why don't we wait a bit longer? It won't be too late to go to the Hell Realm after you've cultivated to the point of being invincible."

Jiang He naturally understood Qin Jiuzhou's meaning and laughed, "It's alright, I'm going to find someone, not to fight... By the way, Seventh Brother, do you have any relatives or friends? Perhaps I can help you look for them?"

Qin Jiuzhou's eyes lit up, and he said, "There really is... but don't rush, I'll tell you when you set off, Sixth Brother."

The two fell into Tianmen Pass.

Jiang He's return this time didn't attract too much attention.

He visited several relatives and friends and learned that Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Mazi, Wei Jian, Chen Yu, and Feng Shaoyu had returned to their ancestral planet. So, he embarked on his journey back to his ancestral planet the next day.

He first went to Qingqiu and found the "little demon".

The little demon inherited the memories of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox and cultivated at an extremely fast pace. He has now mastered five Great Daos and become a Five-Star Great Saint, and is preparing to break through to the "Great Emperor" realm!
In her words.

Once she reaches the "Emperor Realm," she can quickly recover to her peak cultivation level by utilizing the contingency plan left behind in Qingqiu by the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox before its reincarnation.

Jianghe and Xiaoyao spent two days together.

The little demon nestled in Jiang He's arms and said, "Young Master... I can feel that the memories left by the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox are having a more and more serious impact on me. I'm really afraid that after I cultivate to the Great Emperor Realm, I will completely turn into the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox."

Jianghe fell silent.

He didn't know how to comfort Xiao Yao.

Even a body cultivator like myself is helpless in this "situation".

Little Demon, on the other hand, was more open-minded. She said, "Actually, I know in my heart that I am the reincarnation of a nine-tailed celestial fox... I am me, and I am also a nine-tailed celestial fox. I am not afraid of becoming a nine-tailed celestial fox. I am just afraid that after becoming a nine-tailed celestial fox, Young Master will not want me anymore."

Jiang He chuckled...

Are you worried about this?
He said softly, "Don't worry... no matter what the little demon becomes in the future, I will never abandon you." (End of Chapter)
