Becoming a God by Searching Mountains and Subduing Demons

"Jade Tower...complete!?"

Wang Qiwu widened his eyes, full of disbelief, and his voice rose unconsciously due to shock, attracting the attention of many people around him.

He seemed to be frozen. After standing there for a moment, he subconsciously took two steps back. His eyes were full of scrutiny and inquiry as he looked at Jiang Yue carefully from head to toe.

It was as if Jiang Yue in front of him was an unprecedented mystery that he could not figure out. Then, he muttered to himself, "Are you really not some reincarnated demon saint?"

There was a hint of teasing in his tone, but also a deep sense of doubt. In his understanding, breaking through the Yulou realm was extremely difficult.

From the initial entry to perfection, it often takes countless practitioners several years or even decades of time, but Jiang Yue achieved this achievement in such a short time, which is really beyond common sense.

Miao Xingyu was sitting aside, originally resting with his eyes closed. When he heard Wang Qiwu's exclamation, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he also showed a surprised expression.

He clearly remembered that just before stepping into the Heavenly Road, Jiang Yue had just broken through to the Jade Tower realm. At that time, Jiang Yue's aura was already stable and not frivolous. But now, in just a short period of time, Jiang Yue has actually reached the perfect state of Jade Tower!
The path of martial arts practice has always been full of hardships and challenges. Every time a realm is upgraded, it requires practitioners to devote a lot of time and energy, and go through countless trials and tests. Even if some precious practice resources are obtained, the speed of improvement is still a bit ridiculous.

Miao Xingyu wondered in his heart, what on earth had Jiang Yue gone through to have such an amazing transformation?

Is it possible that behind the Heavenly Road, there really is some unique opportunity hidden that can allow people to rapidly improve their strength?

Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Yue, with surprise, envy, and a bit of suspicion.

Jiang Yue just smiled calmly and didn't explain too much.

While everyone was discussing and marveling at Jiang Yue's amazing cultivation, the Sky Patrolling General Zhao Jinghuan stood quietly by the side, taking in the entire scene.

His eyes showed both amazement at Jiang Yue's rapid growth and expectations for the future of the Great Zhou.

"Good job"

"As expected of my Great Zhou Tianjiao!"

Zhao Jinghuan finally spoke, his voice was deep and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty. His words were like a heavy hammer, stirring up ripples in everyone's hearts.

This simple sentence contained his extremely high evaluation and recognition of Jiang Yue. In his eyes, Jiang Yue was able to achieve such amazing achievements in the martial arts at such a young age, and he was undoubtedly a bright new star in the future of the Great Zhou.

"After you return this time, I'm afraid you will be the first on the list of prodigies."

Zhao Jinghuan continued, his tone full of affirmation. The Tianjiao List is a symbol of the strength of the younger generation of practitioners in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Being able to be on the Tianjiao List is a great recognition of one's own strength.

The other party's ranking was not low before, but its growth rate was so fast that the list update speed could not keep up. After this update...

Jiang Yue's strength was obviously far beyond his peers, and it seemed a foregone conclusion that his name would appear at the top of the Tianjiao list.

"No...I'm afraid your name will even be on the second list of heaven and earth."

There was a flash of excitement in Zhao Jinghuan's eyes, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.

The Earth Ranking lists those who are worthy of being conferred the title of Marquis. Jiang Yue’s actual combat power is already high enough to make the list, and his ranking will definitely be high.

The Heavenly Ranking, ranking the strongest ones!
Although Jiang Yue's current strength cannot be compared with those veteran masters, his potential is endless. With his current growth rate, his ranking in the future Tiandi Second List will surely soar.

Zhao Jinghuan was not like the others, impatiently asking Jiang Yue about his experience in the Immortal God Ruins and the secret of his breakthrough.

He knew very well that everyone's path of cultivation was unique. Jiang Yue's achievements today must have been made with efforts and costs that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

He simply expressed his praise generously, hoping that Jiang Yue could continue to maintain this drive and talent on his future path of cultivation, and continue... to move forward!

Everyone has their own secrets, there is no point in asking too many questions.

Anyway, what these returnees saw and heard will be revealed in three days.

.........

Sky-patrolling Barrier, inside the room.

Jiang Yue was dressed in a black robe, sitting alone in the middle of the room with an upright posture. The air around him seemed to become heavy because of his presence. His eyes were closed, and his face was extremely focused, as if he was a statue, motionless.

At this moment, Jiang Yue was completely immersed in self-perception. He clearly felt the surging power in his body like a raging tide.

This force was like a giant beast that awakened after a long sleep, rushing through his meridians, causing violent tremors wherever it went.

It was hot, like a blazing flame, starting from the Dantian and spreading to all parts of his body. Every surge of power made Jiang Yue's body tremble slightly. He could clearly hear his own heartbeat, which sounded like a war drum, echoing the rhythm of the power in his body.

As Jiang Yue's perception of this power deepened, his consciousness seemed to enter a whole new world.

In this world, he saw countless gleaming threads that intertwined and entangled with each other, forming an intricate network.

These threads were his meridians, and the surging power was flowing along these meridians in an orderly manner. Jiang Yue tried to use his consciousness to guide this power, making it more docile and controllable.

His cultivation level increased dramatically, but Jiang Yue did not feel any sense of emptiness due to the breakthrough.

After all, the deduction of the divine seal is just like the practice one has personally experienced. Every breakthrough in a small realm is extremely solid, rather than just seeking progress without paying attention to the foundation.

The results of this simulation were extremely exaggerated.

Over four thousand years, plus a large amount of demon flesh and blood, and the medicinal power of the green ginseng that had not been fully refined before...

Directly increase Jiang Yue’s cultivation to the perfection of Jade Tower!

The main reason for such results is naturally sufficient accumulation, coupled with the excessive gains from the Immortal God Ruins this time.

Although he originally intended to conceal his cultivation level, Jiang Yue considered it and decided to make a breakthrough.

Firstly, although the rapid breakthrough in his cultivation would attract more attention, the fact that he walked through the Heavenly Road in full view of everyone could no longer be concealed, and the reason could be attributed to the gains he made on the Heavenly Road.

Secondly, with improved strength, you can feel more at ease.

Although Jiang Yue is not planning to fight against the dynasty, he still has to be on guard against others.

The matter of Xianshenxu is too important and is likely to attract covetousness.

As for the retreat route, he has already thought of it.

After gaining access to the Xianshenxu, if there is a crisis, the worst that can happen is that we can reopen it and call upon the power of space to return!

By then, even if the royal family wanted to find him, they would probably be unable to do so.

But if that happens, I'm afraid I'll have to practice hard in the Immortal Ruins for an unknown period of time before I can appear in the world again.

There are still things that Jiang Yue cares about in the Seventy-two States, and there are more opportunities here that have not been taken yet.

He was not prepared to give up everything in the outside world unless it was necessary.

"So... the next contact with the royal family is imminent and inevitable." Jiang Yue was in the fortress room, surrounded by the faint light of mysterious runes. He narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of sharpness and caution flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself in a low voice.

The royal power is complicated and the interests of all parties are intertwined. This contact is undoubtedly like stepping into a jungle full of thorns. If you are not careful, you may be trapped in it and there is no way out.

He knew very well that the attitude of the royal family would greatly influence his future actions and decisions.

You must first carefully observe their every move, capture every subtle expression and every unintentional word, and analyze their true thoughts.

Only in this way can we seize the initiative and remain invincible in this undercurrent game.

If the other party shows a friendly and cooperative attitude, perhaps the two sides can work together to achieve some mutually beneficial and win-win situation; but if they have ulterior motives and hide evil intentions, then this contact is very likely to turn into a thrilling life-and-death battle.

"If anything unexpected happens, I will return immediately!" Jiang Yue clenched his fists fiercely, his knuckles turned slightly white due to the force, and his eyes revealed unquestionable decisiveness.

He understood that in this world where the strong are respected and the weak are preyed upon, survival is the first priority.

Once you realize that the situation is getting out of control and beyond your control, you must not hesitate or linger for a moment, but must act decisively and withdraw quickly.

After all, as long as you are alive, you will have the opportunity to make a comeback.

After thinking about this in his mind, Jiang Yue took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, trying to put his chaotic thoughts behind him. He knew that dwelling too much on the uncertainty of the future would only add to his troubles and disturb his mind.

At the moment, it is more important to stay calm and focus on improving your own strength.

Only with sufficient power can you freely control your own destiny and face all unknown challenges in this crisis-ridden world.

"The one on the throne shouldn't be a fool. With the talent and ability I have shown now, it should be enough to protect myself..."

"Besides, I have made great contributions in this trip to the capital. Even if I don't consider personal relationships, I still need to consider the opinions of the world. They should not openly plot against me."

Jiang Yue took a deep breath and stopped thinking in this direction. His consciousness gradually sank into deep meditation.

.........

Three days is neither long nor short, just like a fleeting glimpse, but it can inadvertently become a subtle turning point in everyone's destiny.

During this short period of time, everyone was in their respective practice residences, holding their breath, concentrating, and trying their best to adjust their own states.

The cultivation of the state of mind is like carving a rough jade, which does not allow any impatience or laziness; the conditioning of the body is like repairing a broken magic weapon, which requires meticulous care.

After three days of intensive training, most people have adjusted their mindset to a calm and peaceful state, and their physical condition has returned to its peak state, like a sharp arrow ready to be fired, ready to embark on a new journey at any time.

Except for those lucky ones who had just escaped from the Immortal Ruins, although they successfully escaped from that mysterious place full of dangers, some were seriously injured in the fierce battle and were in critical condition.

They were currently lying on the sickbed, their faces as pale as paper, their breath as weak as a candle in the wind, and every breath was accompanied by severe pain.

The doctors shuttled back and forth between the wards with solemn expressions, their hands constantly busy, trying to use all kinds of precious elixirs and miraculous medical skills to bring these seriously injured people back from the brink of death.

In this busy and tense atmosphere, Jiang Yue's room kept its door closed, like an isolated island.

During these three days, he was completely immersed in meditation, like an old monk in meditation, and turned a deaf ear to all the noise from the outside world. He sat upright on the cushion, with a faint halo emanating from his body, which was the external manifestation of the powerful Jade Tower.

His consciousness penetrated into the deepest part of his soul, and in a chaotic world, he had a profound conversation with his own heart.

At this moment, Jiang Yue is undoubtedly at the center of the storm and has become the focus of everyone's attention.

His amazing performances in the Immortal God Ruins had already spread among the crowd, and everyone knew about it.

Faced with this complicated situation, Jiang Yue knew very well in his heart that the praise and slander from the outside world were nothing but passing clouds. Only by constantly improving his own strength could he gain a foothold in this cruel world.

Therefore, he chose to retreat and practice in seclusion, away from the disturbances of the outside world, and focus on his own practice.

He was too lazy to deal with those who came to visit him with various purposes. Instead of wasting time flattering them, he might as well devote his time and energy to practicing.

Except for those who were close to him, such as Miao Xingyu and others who were traveling with him, he did not see anyone else.

And at this moment, the day to officially enter Kyoto has finally arrived.

The door of the fortress room slowly opened with a slight creaking sound, breaking the surrounding silence.

Jiang Yue was dressed in a simple yet solemn black robe, with a straight figure like a pine tree, and walked out of the room with steady steps. The sunlight shone on his angular face, outlining his firm and deep features, and his deep eyes sparkled with wisdom and confidence.

The eyes of the people who had been waiting here for a long time seemed to be drawn by an invisible force and gathered on Jiang Yue.

For a moment, the scene was completely silent, with only the rustling sound of the breeze brushing the corners of clothes.

There was awe, curiosity, and even a bit of anticipation in everyone's eyes. The legend of Jiang Yue in the Xianshenxu had already left a deep impression on everyone.

Jiang Yue nodded slightly, and simply greeted those familiar people with a faint smile on his face. He exchanged a few words with a few people and shared his recent news.

Just when everyone was talking happily, a powerful voice came from afar, breaking the strange atmosphere at the moment.

"Everyone, please board the airship."

The voice was as loud as a bell, with an unquestionable majesty. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the Sky Patrol General Zhao Jinghuan, wearing a majestic armor, striding towards them.

His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as he scanned the crowd, and his every move revealed the demeanor of a great general.

The appearance of Zhao Jinghuan instantly made the atmosphere at the scene serious.

Everyone packed their bags, lined up in an orderly manner, and walked towards the direction where the airship was docked.

Jiang Yue was no exception. He walked forward with everyone else, but was secretly thinking about the upcoming trip to Kyoto.

During these few days, Zhao Jinghuan did not question them too much.

Obviously, it was not because he was not curious, but because the affairs of the Immortal Ruins involved too many things and were of great importance.

Only when they arrived at the Royal Palace in Kyoto, that solemn and authoritative place, and under the witness of many high-level officials, could everyone tell without reservation everything they had seen and heard in the Ruins of the Immortal Gods.

The Royal Palace, as the power center of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, has a complete confidentiality mechanism and the ability to deal with emergencies.

Therefore, during these few days of getting along, Zhao Jinghuan always kept his curiosity deep in his heart, and just silently paid attention to the status of everyone, ensuring that they could embark on the journey to Kyoto in the best mental state.

This time, the Holy...

It may concern the future of the Great Zhou!
