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

Is it possible to get married and have children?
That's good, that's good!
Jiang He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It is an opportunity for Yan Chen to gain the favor of Master Xu. How could I disturb her? Let her cultivate in peace!"

Xuan Chengzi said, "Grandmaster Yun has inherited the mantle of our ancestor and is currently refining that water-based world..."

"That water-based world was crafted by the Ancestor using special methods. It not only contains a large amount of water-based primordial power, but according to legend, it also contains a water-based immortal artifact bestowed by the Celestial Emperor. If she can completely refine it, she will surely be able to open up the primordial path and step into the realm of the Great Emperor."

That "water world" is known to the rivers.

Luo Yuanzhou comprehended the sacred path within it.

The Evil Dragon Emperor cultivated diligently for over seven eras, and even directly comprehended the realm of "Invincibility".

Secretly happy for Yun Yanchen, Jiang He said, "Daoist Master... there's something I'm not sure if I should ask... your Jingming Dao is the lineage of Master Xu, so you should have many masters..."

Jiang He didn't continue speaking.

Xuan Chengzi gave a wry smile and said, "Mr. Jiang, you must know the story of 'ascending to heaven by pulling up one's house,' right?"

Jiang He nodded and said, "The fourteenth volume of the Taiping Guangji records that Xu Zhenjun slew demons and monsters, eliminated floods, and spread the Dao. Because of his 'dedication to filial piety,' he moved the Heavenly Dao and was known to the Heavenly Emperor of the Celestial Court. The Heavenly Emperor sent a celestial envoy to the ancestral star to bestow upon him the 'Secret Decree of the Supreme Dao,' conferring upon him the title of 'Loyal and Filial Immortal,' granting him an immortal position and allowing him to ascend to heaven!"

Xuan Chengzi said, "Our ancestor and his family ascended to heaven to become immortals. Besides our ancestor's wife and children, the twelve True Lords of the Jingming Dao and other senior powerful figures also accompanied him."

Jiang He suddenly realized...

No wonder the legacy left behind by the dignified Celestial Master Xu, who ascended to immortality, is so fragmented, with not even a Great Emperor among them; it turns out he was taken away with him when he ascended to heaven.

Xuan Chengzi continued, “Our Jingming Dao takes loyalty and filial piety as the foundation of cultivation, and we also have the legacy left by our ancestor, the ‘Flying Immortal Crossing the River’ scripture… After our ancestor and his family ascended to heaven, our Jingming Dao has produced two Great Emperors, not to mention Great Saints and Saints.”

Speaking of which.

Xuan Chengzi's expression turned somewhat gloomy.

One of those two emperors was his master, and the other had taught his master cultivation, making him his grandmaster.

“A thousand years ago, the ten clans joined forces to attack Kunlun. My master and grandmaster went into battle and both died in the heavens... In that battle, my Jingming Dao had a total of eighteen Great Saints, one hundred and sixty-eight Saint Realm experts, and more than a thousand Half Saint disciples who perished.”

Those below the Half-Saint realm... are countless!
Xuan Chengzi said, "After that battle, our Jingming Dao suffered heavy losses. Later, our ancestral star was sealed off, the Great Dao fell silent, and spiritual energy was depleted. We then sealed ourselves in a secret realm and cave, and only recently emerged from the world."

Rivers and lakes stand in awe.

I have even more respect for the lineage left behind by Master Xu.

After having a meal at the Wanshou Palace Taoist temple, he took Zhu Lingzhi and the little demon out of the Western Hills and went to the Qinling Mountains.

The Qinling Mountains, known as the "Dragon Vein of the Great Xia Dynasty," are the most magical mountain range on our ancestral planet.

According to Qin Jiuzhou, the Evil Dragon Emperor, the Old Yellow Ox, and Dean An, many ancient powerhouses who are in slumber are located near the Qinling Mountains. The little demon came to the Qinling Mountains to use the "dragon vein energy" of the Qinling Mountains to break through to the "Great Emperor" realm.

"Young master, you and Sister Lingzhi should go."

The little demon found a secluded mountain peak in the Qinling Mountains. She summoned a sacred palace and landed within it, saying, "By the time you return, young master, I may have already recovered to my peak combat strength."

Jiang He and Zhu Lingzhi left.

They entered Kunlun and saw the old ox again.

The old ox walked out of the demon palace and said, "This era is about to end, the end of the era has arrived... I, the old ox, should also go out and try to break through to the [Invincible] realm."

These ancient powerhouses have slumbered for countless eras, even longer, all in order to seek a sliver of opportunity to prove their invincibility during the turbulent times at the end of an era.

He entered the Kunlun Realm with Jiang He and Zhu Lingzhi, and then they went their separate ways.

Jiang He and Zhu Lingzhi went to Tianmen Pass, while he went to find the Golden Roc Little Demon King.

The Golden Roc Little Demon King is a descendant of its sworn brother, the "Roc Demon King." The "Roc Demon King" was converted and converted by the Buddhist realm of the Western Paradise and has long since left the myriad realms. Naturally, the Old Ox will take good care of the Golden Roc Little Demon King.

"During this time, I will visit some old friends... After visiting them, I will go to search for the [Gate to the Immortal Realm]."

The old ox said, "Jiang He, we'll meet at the Gate of the Immortal Realm."

"See you at the Gate to the Immortal Realm!"

After saying goodbye to the old ox, Jianghe arrived at "Tianmen Pass".

Tianmen Pass was also filled with joy, with lanterns and decorations everywhere. The martial artists and residents from the ancestral star did not return to their ancestral star, but they did not forget this festive holiday passed down from their ancestors.

Just like last time, Jiang He's entry into "Tianmen Pass" did not attract much attention; he only met Qin Jiuzhou and Feng Huang.

Qin Jiuzhou gave Jiang He a photograph.

The photo shows a woman dressed in combat uniform, looking heroic and carrying an alloy longsword.

The woman's information was written on the back of the photo.

"Jiang Xue?"

Jiang He said, "I think I've heard this name before... She once fought against three ferocious beast kings alone to protect Nanhu Base City. In the end, she died because her meridians were severed due to the excessive use of secret techniques. The garrison city [Jiang City] built in Nanhu Base City 26 years ago was named in memory of Jiang Xue. There is a text in the Chinese textbook about her."

Qin Jiuzhou's eyes showed a look of reminiscence as he sighed, "Jiang Xue... is my girlfriend."

"Her martial arts talent was exceptional; she was one of the most powerful female martial artists in the Great Xia Dynasty at that time."

"She was born into an ancient martial arts family, and with some fortuitous encounters, she reached the Grandmaster level in the second year after the spiritual energy revival, and entered the Celestial Realm by the end of that year... We met in the fourth year of the spiritual energy revival, and confirmed our relationship in the fifth year."

"Before the spiritual energy revival, I was just an ordinary person, but I was lucky enough to enter a secret realm and obtain a powerful inheritance and a sacred source."

"At that time, I was already at the peak of the Celestial Realm, and I was stationed in the capital city..."

"When the beast tide broke out in Nanhu Base City, I happened to be in seclusion trying to break through to the Celestial Realm... By the time I came out of seclusion, she had already sacrificed herself."

Qin Jiuzhou, a man of iron will.

For 40 years, he had carried the burden of the Great Xia and Kunlun, and he had never complained. But at this moment, his eyes reddened, and he said, "Sixth brother... I know that the dead cannot be brought back to life, but if there is a chance, I hope you can help me find her."

Jiang He put away the photos and smiled, "Don't worry, Seventh Brother, I will do my best to help you find your sister-in-law."

When he went back this time, he also found photos and detailed information about his parents.

Jiang He's parents were both martial artists who sacrificed themselves to resist the beast tide. Detailed information about them can be found in the database of the Martial Arts Administration Bureau.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang He boarded the imperial ship and left Tianmen Pass.

He sat cross-legged in the center of the imperial ship's deck, with a row of storage rings in front of him. These storage rings contained a large number of magical treasures, pills, and rare and precious items, all of which were obtained by the powerful members of the various races of the River and Lakes from the treasure vault of the Heavenly Demon Ancestral Realm when they stormed into it.

"I've neglected my cultivation these days, and my physical strength hasn't increased much. I need to make the most of my time to cultivate."

A thought flashed through my mind, and the system attribute panel appeared—

Name: Jiang He

[Age: 21 years old]

Occupation: Mentally ill patient

[Power: 9286 Star Power]

"The era ends, the universe cycles, and all races and spirits are born and die..."

"Even if I cultivate to become invincible, I'm afraid I still won't be able to stop the calamity of the era's destruction..."

"Since the calamity of the destruction of the era was sent down by the Heavenly Dao, then I will cultivate until I can suppress the Heavenly Dao with my fist... When that time comes, if the Heavenly Dao dares to act recklessly, I will smash it to pieces with one punch!"

Jiang He took a deep breath, rallied his spirits, and began to take out bottles of pills and magical treasures and holy weapons to refine and cultivate.

Simultaneously.

He multitasked, comprehending the intent of fist, sword, and saber, as well as the [Eight-Nine Arcane Technique]. The [Eight-Nine Arcane Technique] was a "celestial technique" passed down from the gates of the immortal realm, but unfortunately it was incomplete, only having the "eighth stage" of the technique... Jiang He pondered whether he could continue cultivating to create the ninth stage and complete the technique.

Zhu Lingzhi knew that Jiang He was cultivating, so she did not rush on her way.

The imperial ship traversed the star belt and sailed into the depths of the cosmos.

The location of the Hell Realm is opposite to that of the Ten Clans' territories. It is separated from the Kunlun Realm by dozens of great worlds, thousands of small worlds, and countless star systems and star regions, making the journey extremely long.

The rivers are not in a hurry.

He was devoted to cultivation, and when he was bored, he would "harmonize yin and yang" with Zhu Lingzhi. When passing by some inhabited planets, he would also land and travel around if he felt like it.

If he encounters a faction with an "interstellar teleportation array," he will visit them and ask for passage.

Anyway, there's no need to rush before he's fully utilized his resources... Otherwise, if he gets into a fight in the Underworld and can't defeat the Yellow Springs Emperor, how embarrassing would that be?
With the consumption of various magical treasures, elixirs, and rare items, Jiang He's physical strength was steadily increasing every day... He could increase his strength by nearly 30 Star Power in a single day!

This rate of improvement is truly astonishing.

of course.

It is built upon the treasure trove of the Heavenly Demon Primordial Realm and the vast resources contributed by various races... It is no exaggeration to say that the resources Jiang He plundered during his last trip to the Ten Races Territory were almost comparable to the accumulation of an ordinary Great World over countless years!

soon.

Half a month has passed.

Jiang He and Zhu Lingzhi have traversed three star systems, passed through nineteen small worlds, and crossed more than a million light-years of space.

Jiang He's physical strength has increased by more than 400 stellar powers, bringing him closer and closer to the "1 mark".

His vital energy was so abundant that it was beyond description. When his blood flowed, it was like a surging sea of ​​stars. The starry sky seemed to tremble with every breath. His heartbeat was like the thunder of an imperial war drum. The mere release of his vital energy caused the starry sky to crack open with spiderweb-like spatial rifts!
Looking at Jiang He, whose aura was slightly dissipating during cultivation, Zhu Lingzhi couldn't help but think to herself, "Young Master's strength is getting stronger and stronger... Now I'm afraid his combat power under normal circumstances is not much inferior to mine."

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Zhu Lingzhi's eyes flashed, and she looked up at the distant starry sky.

She vaguely sensed the aura of an emperor appearing a hundred light-years away... and that aura stopped in the starry sky, indicating that it must have sensed her and Jiang He's presence.

"Son."

Zhu Lingzhi looked at Jiang He and found that Jiang He had awakened from his cultivation state.

He tossed a bottle of elixir into his mouth, and the chilling pressure emanating from him quickly dissipated, making him appear like an ordinary person. He looked up at the distant starry sky and said, "An alien emperor, whose cultivation is roughly equivalent to the Stone Ancestor's Rock Emperor... Let's go take a look."

The Rock Emperor possessed cultivation spanning seven or eight eras, making him extremely powerful across all the heavens.

There are certainly many Great Emperors stronger than him below the Ancestor level in the myriad realms, but these ancient Great Emperors are usually in seclusion, rarely showing their faces... After all, the lifespan of a Great Emperor is also limited.

If one doesn't reach the level of an ancestor, they generally live for about twelve eras before reaching their limit. Perhaps by relying on secret techniques and life-extending elixirs, they can live for two or three more eras...

But by then, lifespan will be exhausted and vitality will begin to dissipate, making it even less likely to break through to the progenitor level!
That's why there are so few emperors among the ten clans.

Over the course of nearly an era, each of the ten races has produced more than 15 Great Emperors. However, due to wars or the end of their lifespans, races such as the Blood Ancestor, Bone Race, and Heavenly Demon Race have only produced five or six Great Emperors in existence.

A distance of 100 light-years can be covered in the blink of an eye.

What came into view was a luxurious imperial warship that stretched for three thousand miles.

The pavilion atop that imperial warship was eighteen stories high, crafted entirely from special, precious cosmic materials, shimmering with a luxurious and opulent luster.

Inside the ship, it seemed as if a band was playing.

The strange music could even be heard throughout the universe and the starry sky.

The river sensed it immediately and discovered...

There were two emperors on that ship.

One of them possessed a cultivation aura comparable to the "Rock Emperor" of the Stone Clan, while another was similar to the "Hellfire Emperor" of the Golden Crow Clan, likely a newly promoted emperor. The rest were all Great Saints, Saints, or Half-Saints.

There are nine Great Saints, seventy-two Saints in the Saint Realm, and thousands of Half-Saints.

Moreover, these semi-saints were all women of different races, and they all transformed into alluring women.

The two emperors must have been master and disciple. They sat on their thrones, enjoying the service of the semi-saints and saints, and admiring the graceful dances of the many semi-saint dancers. They were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Jiang He glanced at the imperial warship, then at his own…

I couldn't help but say, "There's no harm without comparison... Lingzhi, aren't we being a bit stingy?"

Zhu Lingzhi knew that Jiang He was joking on purpose, and laughed, "If you want, young master, Lingzhi can personally capture a group of female Great Sages from various races to sing and dance for you."

"Forget it..."

Jiang He said, "I'm just a rough man who practices body cultivation; I can't enjoy this kind of life."

Inside the Imperial Warship opposite.

The newly crowned emperor flew out of the ship.

Although he was in human form, he was tall and muscular, over ten meters tall, with two feet on his forehead and strange black markings on his skin. It was unclear what race he was.

He clasped his hands in a salute to Zhu Lingzhi and said, "Is this fellow Daoist going to the Dragon Realm to attend the Evil Dragon Emperor's 'Invincible Banquet'? My master has invited you, and I hope you will do me the honor of boarding the ship for a chat."

He completely ignored the river.

At this moment, Jiang He concealed his aura and blood energy, clearly indicating that even with the newly enthroned emperor's discerning eyes, he could not fathom Jiang He's true strength.

Zhu Lingzhi did not reply, but looked at Jiang He.

Brother Evil Dragon's [Invincible Feast]?
Moreover, the Dragon Realm has been sealed off for many years... Is it about to be released now?

Jiang He's mind raced, and he transmitted his voice, "Let's go, it would be good to meet this emperor."

The two put away their own imperial warships and boarded the luxurious imperial warship.

The emperor stepped down from his throne and greeted him with a smile.

He was tall and imposing, and also had two horns on his head. He and the newly promoted emperor should be from the same clan. He said in a hearty manner, "It is fate that we can meet in this vast starry sky. I am Jialuo Yuan from the Jialuo clan. May I ask how you are addressed, fellow Daoist?"

Zhu Lingzhi said calmly, "The Hell Realm, Zhu Lingzhi."

"Forehead……"

Nagara Yuan paused for a moment.

He could sense that Zhu Lingzhi's cultivation level was comparable to his own... He certainly knew the titles of Lord of Luofu Mountain and Southern Ghost Emperor of Hell, but he had never heard of the name Zhu Lingzhi.

When did such a master emerge in the realm of hell?
Galo Yuan thought for a moment and said, "So it's Fellow Daoist Zhu... I've heard so much about you."

His gaze then fell upon Jiang He, and he said, "This is... a human? Could it be Fellow Daoist Zhu's follower?"

Zhu Lingzhi smiled and said, "This is my young master."

"Oh?"

Galo Yuan's heart trembled violently!
He suddenly remembered a rumor he had heard some time ago...

It is said that the Lord of Mount Luofu in the Underworld was stripped of his title by the Underworld for following a human body-refining martial artist. That human body-refining martial artist had swept through ten races a few days ago, even killing the "Emperor Lu Ya" of the Golden Crow race, and forcing the Blood Clan, Bone Clan, Barbarian Clan, Crystal Clan, Heavenly Demon Clan, and Insect Clan to seal off their realms, making him famous throughout the heavens!

He looked at Jiang He again, a hint of awe flashing in his eyes. His voice became much hoarse, and his burly body bowed slightly as he clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "You are...?"

Jiang He said calmly, "Human race, Jiang He." (End of Chapter)
