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

"The wings of the Divine Emperor!"

When Jiang He climbed the volcano, he was startled upon closer inspection.

Those wings were tens of thousands of miles long. Even though they had been roasted to a golden brown and were dripping with oil, the imperial aura emanating from them was still extremely terrifying. Clearly, the owner of the "wings" was not weak, probably at least at the "Ancestor Level".

"You've come at the perfect time; I just finished baking it."

The candle was very enthusiastic and handed over a large wing.

Jiang He waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "No, no... Brother Zhu, this thing has been soaking in the Weak Water for an entire era, can it still be eaten?"

The thought of that powerful god being reduced to a skeleton and soaking in the Weak Water for so long made him feel nauseous... After soaking for so long, he must have stank!
"Yes, you can eat it!"

Zhu, however, was eating with his mouth full of oil, and said, "Don't worry, don't you trust my grilling skills? I marinated it before grilling to remove the fishy smell, just like you taught me... Come on, have a taste!"

The candle is so inviting, I can't refuse to eat a bite.

Jiang He planned to try it out.

He tore off a small piece of meat, put it in his mouth and chewed slowly. Then his eyes lit up and he said, "It's so delicious... This meat is chewy and has distinct fibers. Moreover, it contains extremely powerful energy and the laws of the Great Dao. It tastes just like the essence of refining an Emperor."

"Come."

"Wife, Little Demon, Lingzhi, you should try some too."

Even if Yun Yanchen, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, and Zhu Lingzhi each took half of the roasted "divine wings" that were ten thousand miles long, there would still be five thousand miles left.

Jianghe first tasted the flavor, and when he had almost finished eating, his body changed shape and he ate it all in one bite.

His blood and qi surged within him, and his physical strength increased by "1 star's power".

Zhu took out several more jars of fine wine and threw one to Jiang He.

Jiang He opened the wine jar, took a sip, and praised, "This wine tastes good... Where did Brother Zhu get it?"

Zhu said, "This is what I snatched from the Heavenly Demon Clan's progenitor when he entered the Weak Water... He gave it to me!"

The progenitor of celestial demons?

Jiang He's eyes flickered slightly.

“Brother Jianghe, I know about your grudge with the Heavenly Demon Ancestor. I stopped him at the time because I wanted to find an excuse to kill him and hand him over to you… But the Heavenly Demon Ancestor was too cautious, and I really couldn’t find any excuse.”

Zhu said, "I hope you can understand, brother... After all, I am one of the guardians of Weak Water. If he does not take the initiative to act or violate the rules of Weak Water, I cannot act at will, otherwise it will cause the punishment of the Heavenly Dao rules."

"I can handle a mere Heavenly Demon Ancestor myself, brother, you don't need to worry about it."

Jiang He said with a smile.

He was very curious about the "Guardian of the Weak Water" and asked, "Brother, I talked with the Emperor of Fengdu before and know about the duties of the Guardian of the Weak Water... but who gave you these duties?"

The Great Emperor of Fengdu was entrusted by the Human Emperor to guard the Weak Water.

Where's the candle?

Given his personality, I'm afraid the Emperor wouldn't entrust him with such an important task.

Zhu smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I was appointed by the rules of Heaven... Not only me, but most of the guardians in Weak Water were appointed by the rules of Heaven. When I broke into Weak Water, I was just as lawless as you, and I made a big mistake. I had no choice but to become the guardian of Weak Water. Although I was spared the calamity of the destruction of the era, I was trapped in Weak Water and could not get out."

Forehead!
Jiang He blinked but didn't reply.

If one becomes the guardian of the Weak Water, one will be spared the calamity of the era's destruction?

This is something that many powerful people would rather not have.

Zhu understood Jiang He's thoughts perfectly well. He complained, "With my strength, I could have survived the epochal catastrophe on my own, but now I'm trapped here and can't get out..."

"Brother, you don't understand!"

“Three eras… I have been the guardian of Weak Water for three eras. Do you know how I have spent these three eras?”

When she got to the sad parts, Zhu almost shed tears.

Seeing this, Jiang He was afraid of being embarrassed, so he immediately took his leave. He then left Yanhuo Mountain with Yun Yanchen, Zhu Lingzhi, and the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, heading straight for the depths of the Weak Water.

The environment of the Weak Water remains the same as before.

A feather cannot float on the icy, bone-chilling water.

The sky was a hazy gray.

In the Weak Water, sometimes white bones are found floating downstream.

Unlike before, there were wisps of life flowing within those bones, showing signs of revival.

Jiang He even saw a skeleton come back to life, transforming into a giant, strange bird. But before the bird could fully revive, a large ship floated down from the Weak Water. Soldiers in armor on the ship attacked and shattered the bird in one blow!

"According to the Great Emperor of Fengdu and Brother Zhu, the owners of these large ships are also considered guardians of the Weak Water... Why would they kill the skeletons in the Weak Water?"

Jiang He was incredibly curious.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox said, "I have heard some rumors about this... These skeletons were beings who died in the Weak Water in the previous era or even the era before that. It was only because of the special nature of the Weak Water that their true spirits were preserved and they had the hope of being revived."

"But the resurrection of the dead is forbidden by the laws of Heaven, which is why the Weak Water Guardians suppress and kill these creatures."

Jiang He suddenly realized.

Presumably, this is why Zhu attacked that resurrected "god" powerhouse.

of course.

Some of these "skeletons" were quite powerful in life, and due to luck, not all of them were killed after "skeletal resurrection." For example, the powerful god that Jiang He once encountered managed to survive and escape.

The four did not stop; they continued along the banks of the Ruoshui River.

The Weak Water flows through all the heavens and myriad realms, yet it is not within those heavens. It flows through other dimensions, connecting one spatial dimension after another. Its length is immeasurable. Even with the cultivation levels of Jiang He and his companions, they did not reach the "source" even after traveling at full speed for half a month.

"Young master, look! There's a corpse!"

Suddenly, Zhu Lingzhi spoke up, pointing to a forest on the banks of the Ruoshui River, saying, "What a huge corpse... Judging from the aura of the corpse, it probably hasn't been long since it died."

Jiang He looked in the direction Zhu Lingzhi pointed and found a corpse tens of thousands of miles long in the forest.

It was a snake's corpse.

The corpse had many wounds. Although it was dead, the aura emanating from the body was not weak, indicating that it was at least "ancestor level" in life.

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's eyes flickered slightly as it recognized the corpse, saying, "It's him... Ancestor Tengshe. How could he have died here?"

"Ancestor Tengshe?"

Zhu Lingzhi had obviously heard of this name before. She said, "Is he the Tengshe Ancestor? It is said that the Tengshe clan was once one of the overlord-level races of the heavens. The bloodline of this clan is extremely powerful, no weaker than that of divine beasts. During the most prosperous period of their ancestors, they gave birth to [Invincible] and several [Ancestor-level] beings."

"However, due to their enmity with the Dragon Clan, the Tengshe Clan's 'Invincible' was ultimately slain by the Ancestral Dragon, and the clan's experts were almost entirely wiped out. From then on, the Tengshe Clan began to decline until ten eras ago when a new 'Ancestor' was born, known as the Tengshe Ancestor..."

"Ancestor Tengshe was afraid that the Dragon Clan would attack him, so he sealed off his realm and went into seclusion, rarely venturing into the heavens... I never expected that he would die here."

The Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox sighed, "At the end of the era... many ancient reclusive masters like Ancestor Tengshe will probably be unable to sit still... For them, only by stepping into the [Invincible] realm can they hope to survive the calamity of the era's destruction."

"The only opportunity to reach the level of [Invincible] in a short period of time is at the source of the Weak Water during the turbulent era at the end of the epoch."

Jiang He stepped forward and examined the corpse of the Tengshe Ancestor.

He examined the wounds on the enormous corpse and found that a thin mist was swirling around them. The power emanating from the mist was remarkably similar to that of the Weak Water Sky. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Who killed Ancestor Tengshe?"

"A powerful [Ancestor-level] being's corpse is a vast treasure. Since we killed him, why not take his body?" "Moreover, this power contains a trace of the Weak Water World's power. Who can wield such power?"
Is it like the "candle" that guards the weak water?

The corpse of the Tengshe Ancestor was very tempting to Jiang He.

But Jiang He is a man of principle...

If someone were to die because they offended him, he would have refined them without hesitation. But if he encountered them on the road... there was no need for him to do so.

Jiang He threw the corpse of the Tengshe Ancestor into the Weak Water.

In the Weak Water, strange giant fish emerged one by one, quickly dragging the enormous corpse to the bottom.

Blood-red waves surged on the water's surface, soon staining it crimson.

soon……

A skeleton of a serpent emerged from the water.

"No wonder these fish are so powerful... They have been devouring the flesh and blood of strong people for many years. Even an ordinary fish could probably achieve enlightenment, let alone a special creature born in the Weak Water?"

Jiang He sighed inwardly.

But then his expression changed, and he said, "This is bad... Ancestor Tengshe's blood is drifting along the Weak Water, and those bones are absorbing the power of the blood, so their recovery speed is accelerating!"

Rumble!
Above the Weak Water, rolling, hazy clouds gathered, and within them, lightning flashed.

Within the bones in the Weak Water, which had absorbed blood, life force began to rapidly increase, flesh and blood regenerated, and they began to revive!
A large ship drifted downstream on the upper reaches of the Weak Water.

The armored soldiers on the large ship took action to suppress the skeletons.

However, there were too many skeletons that were revived at the same time, making it impossible to suppress them.

Wow!

A skeleton broke through the Weak Water and flew to the sky.

He was three zhang tall, and his race was unknown. Most of his flesh and blood had grown back, and he laughed maniacally, "Hahahaha... Three eras have passed, and I have finally reversed life and death and been resurrected..."

Boom!

Before he could finish speaking, a huge bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky, plunging him back into the Weak Water!

That ancient powerhouse was indeed formidable. He withstood a bolt of lightning and burst forth from the Weak Water once more, shouting, "You think a mere Heavenly Dao Divine Lightning can kill me? I rose from humble beginnings, and since mastering my divine skills, I have been invincible. Even the rules of Heaven cannot subdue me..."

boom!
Sudden.

A large hand descended from afar, slapping him to death.

Jiang He turned his head and saw a figure walking through the air.

This person was a woman with a graceful figure, wearing a red armor. Her strength was no less than that of "Candle". Most importantly... she could mobilize a trace of Ruoshui's power and instantly suppress and shatter those resurrected skeletons.

"Invincible Realm!"

"The Phoenix Clan is invincible!"

Zhu Lingzhi and the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox spoke in low voices.

Jiang He looked at the woman and wondered, "The Phoenix Clan's invincible warriors also have a guardian of the Weak Water?"

The woman noticed Jiang He's gaze and looked over as well. Her tone was icy as she said indifferently, "This is a sacred place, do not litter... If too many dead beings are revived, it will cause changes in the rules of Heaven and accelerate the arrival of the great calamity!"

She looked at Jiang He and threatened, "If there is a next time, I will kill you."

Huh?

Jiang He's personality has always been such that he responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

If the Phoenix Clan's Weak Water Town Guardian were to offer kind words of advice, he would certainly comply, and might even apologize with an "I'm sorry," but threats...

He sneered, "I'd like to see how you plan to kill me!"

The Phoenix Clan guardian seemed to know Jiang He. She didn't attack directly, but coldly said, "I'll give you a chance for the sake of Zhu... You'd better watch yourself!"

She vanished in a flash.

The large ship in the Weak Water also disappeared.

Jiang He stared at the Weak Water, seemingly lost in thought.

He pondered for a long time before finally speaking: "What do you think about me dripping my blood into the Weak Water to revive those ancient and powerful beings who have died, and then killing them and plundering their treasures and origins?"

"This……"

Yun Yanchen advised, "It's better not to do that. Alarming the guardian of Ruoshui is a minor matter, but once the rules of Heaven are disturbed, the calamity of destruction will be accelerated... I'm afraid countless people in all the heavens and myriad worlds will die."

Whatever.

We cannot sacrifice the lives of countless living beings in order to improve ourselves.

Jiang He abandoned this idea.

He and the three women set off again, traveling along the banks of the Weak Water River. After traveling for more than half a month, the time and space ahead finally changed.

Far away...

Jianghe saw a huge gate standing in the distance of time and space.

Even though they were far apart, he still felt an overwhelming pressure from that portal.

"The Gate to the Immortal Realm!"

"Is that the legendary gate to the immortal realm?"

Jiang He muttered, "It seems the legendary 'Gate to the Immortal Realm' isn't all that magical after all..."

But he soon realized something was wrong.

They had clearly seen the Gate to the Immortal Realm, but after traveling for another half a month, they still hadn't reached the source of the Weak Water. Instead, the Gate to the Immortal Realm seemed to grow larger and taller in their field of vision!
The enormous portal shimmered with celestial light, its aura growing stronger and stronger, even Jiang He felt immense pressure!

Only now could Jiang He vaguely make out the outlines of the continents floating below the [Gate to the Immortal Realm]!
Compared to the Gate to the Immortal Realm, those continents are as insignificant as pigeon eggs!
"We've been traveling at full speed for the past two weeks, covering a distance of millions of light-years!"

"I'm afraid we're still hundreds of thousands of light-years away from the [Gate to the Immortal Realm]... Just how tall is the [Gate to the Immortal Realm]?"

Hundreds of light-years?

Thousands of light-years?

Or perhaps even taller?
soon.

Another seven days have passed.

A massive continent stretched out in the distance.

This continent is hundreds of millions of miles long and wide, and it contains many ancient and enormous cities.

Jiang He was about to enter this continent when he suddenly sensed something and looked up into the distance...

But on a continent near the "Gate to the Immortal Realm," strange phenomena arose in the heavens and earth, and a powerful force spread out.

"Someone has proven themselves to be invincible!"

Jiang He's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "This aura... is it Brother Niu? Brother Niu has attained the Dao of [Invincible]?" (End of this chapter)
