Chapter 710 Not Daring to Rule the World

Just a few days.

The news of the divinely ordained blessed land emerging has swept the world.

Some cultivators from the lower five realms entered and, upon landing, were offered the opportunity to attain the Golden Core stage. All they needed to do was acknowledge their status as anonymous disciples of the Sword Sect, with whom they had no prior connection. The entrance fee was ridiculously low compared to the potential reward.

On the day the blessed land was born, more than one Venerable of the Fifth Realm made a deduction and test, but they all got the same answer: there was no problem with the opportunity.

In major powers like Wanbaolou and Tianyige, a Golden Core Sword Technique would cost at least twenty or thirty Immortal Coins to acquire. After all, such a legacy is enough to create a small cultivation family, with far-reaching significance.

Within the blessed land of the gods, such skills can be found almost anywhere. Even a roadside stone may contain a legacy, and the legacy is not unique; a single sword technique can be inherited by multiple people.

For a time, exploring the blessed lands left by the gods became a trend.

However, this blessed land is also very special. It contains the innate rule of heaven and earth that prohibits the use of magic power. Cultivators can only rely on their physical bodies to enter. At the same time, if they harm the natives of the blessed land, they will be punished by the Yin Yang Sect. The rules are extremely strict.

Inside the blessed land lies an ancient city inhabited by tens of thousands of indigenous people, living in isolation from the outside world.

On a street, the sound of reading aloud could be heard from an academy built with funds raised by the local gentry. Wealthy families in the vicinity would send their children to study there, simply because the academy's teachers were well-versed in literature and, according to legend, were immortals.

"Don't run around lately. Many outsiders have come to Shenyi City. I'll increase the workload and check on you all tomorrow."

The school was immediately filled with wailing and howling, but the middle-aged scholar showed no intention of retracting his decision.

His gaze turned to the window, where a group of cultivators dressed in fine robes surrounded a young man, like stars around the moon. The young man easily caught a loach from a water vat in front of a house, drawing loud cheers from the crowd.

"A monstrous dragon that reaches the Nascent Soul stage upon adulthood."

The middle-aged scholar casually deduced the origins of this group of people. The young man was the direct descendant of the sect leader of a secluded sect, and his status was extraordinary. However, for an ordinary sect, as long as there was an eleventh-level Jade Purity cultivator in charge, he was already deserving of the title. Therefore, his future Nascent Soul combat power was already quite remarkable.

It's not just swordsmanship; the blessed land itself also contains a wealth of opportunities.

And in the very instant the middle-aged scholar began to deduce cause and effect.

A dark gaze descended from beyond the sky.

The next moment, a figure wearing a black cloak descended, his mastery of the Heavenly Pot Technique reaching its pinnacle.

Jiang He looked at the person in front of him in surprise. Even though the All-Encompassing Demon Eye had advanced to the Saint Spirit level, his origins were still unclear. There was only one answer: this was a 14th Realm cultivator who had obtained the concealment of his Fruit Position. And there was only one 14th Realm Confucian cultivator in the Central Continent.

"So he is the head teacher of Jixia Academy."

The old man scrutinized the young man for a long while, then laughed and said, "When I first met you, Daozi, I only felt that you were exceptionally talented and beautiful, but deep down you are wicked and despicable. Even the teachings of the sages are useless to you. The divine legacy was originally a paradise on earth, but now that you have been exposed to the world, you cannot escape destruction. You are a sinner for all time."

Jiang He did not speak.

Legend has it that the Grand Master of Jixia Academy fell into a deep sleep after slaying the "Holy Dragon." At the fourteenth realm, the gap between powerful beings is not large, so there must be a price to pay for such a slaying.

The middle-aged scholar before me has no physical body or rank, only a soul. Yet, he retains the combat power of the fourteenth realm through a unique method. But like water in a pot, it diminishes with each use, much like a rootless duckweed. When it is exhausted, his soul will be scattered.

"It seems the Holy Dragon is here," Jiang He said.

The old man's expression changed slightly. Before he could speak, Jiang He had already arrived at the sky and thoroughly surveyed the blessed land left by the gods.

Beneath the city of divine ruins, a vast and long dragon skeleton is displayed. A scholar's physical body is suppressed on the dragon's head. The former still possesses a spirit, but it has become dim over time and can only send its own fortune and destiny out of the blessed land, hoping that someone will come to its rescue.

Jiang He narrowed her eyes upon seeing this.

The remains of the Fourteenth Realm Holy Dragon are enough to advance his Dragon God bloodline to the Holy Spirit level, which is a huge gain. However, the Great Master still has the strength to fight. Considering the performance of the Great Heavenly Lord, he does not intend to underestimate a Fourteenth Realm being.

"Someone still needs to step on the landmine."

Jiang He left the blessed land and casually hooked his hand, obtaining an ancient bronze sword that was also full of Daoist charm.

[Hint: You have plundered the opportunity of Xuanzhen, the Chosen One—Pei Qinghan's past life body]
[Hint: You have ruined the opportunity for the chosen one, Xuanzhen—the Blessed Land of the Gods]
[Hint: Your natural enemy value has increased to 400%]
[Note: You have obtained a Saint-level skill enhancement scroll. Your Nemesis Value has been reduced to zero.]
Jiang He plans to enhance his King of Sin Arts. In fact, this skill is best improved by relying on bloodline essence. Using scrolls cannot take into account potential. But what he needs is immediate combat power. Only when his strength is sufficient can he be qualified to seek higher-level resources.

[Name: King of Sin]
[Category: System]
[Quality: Holy Spirit Level]
[Effect ①: Time of Sin - Gain three times the speed of a normal creature in the Standard Legendary Era (movement speed requires matching physical attributes) / Unlocks the system skill Half-Demon Transformation - Increases Abyssal Demon power by 80%]

Each shot grants one charge, and three shots activate the "Arrow-Stealing" effect - sealing one ability of the target, effective for Holy Spirit level and below (normal effective radius 30000 meters)]

[Effect ⑥: Da Li - Collects and refines the pure bloodline essence of sixty-four Holy Spirit-level beings to improve quality (0/64)]
[Note: The Age of Sin, the Ultimate King]
At the summit of Liangyi Mountain, Jiang He familiarized himself with the suddenly surging values. The speed was three times that of an ordinary legendary figure, once again narrowing the gap between him and the Dao-proving experts.

"Judging by the time, the Sword-Asking Tournament is just around the corner."

"Xuanzhen is actually sitting still. Is he planning to make a name for himself at the conference and then enter the blessed land with the Floating Pagoda Sect's team?" Jiang He knew of the existence of "Floating Pagoda Xuanzhen." Since the other party currently had no official rank, in terms of karma, just like when the Holy Lord of Zhaojing and others tried to sow discord between him, he also had an absolute advantage.

Currently, the Sword Sect only has two true disciples.

The nominal senior sister, Su Yaoyao, comes from the Li Dynasty among the Hundred Kingdoms. Due to the sudden death of the Crown Prince of the Yin Clan, the Wu Dynasty, which received him at the time, lost its backing. The Li Dynasty is launching a counterattack, attempting to reclaim the lost territory. Su Yaoyao returns to her hometown to help her childhood sweetheart, Yuan Shengshen, take revenge. She will not be able to return in time.

"But wouldn't it be beneath me to personally participate in the Sword Challenge?" Jiang He pondered, finding no sense of accomplishment in fighting against a group of beings of similar cultivation levels.

After a moment's thought, Jiang He took out all the profits from the blessed land, totaling 7,400 Immortal Coins. If he could accumulate 60,000 coins, he could completely upgrade the three evil brothers into legendary-level items, equivalent to immortal weapons. At that time, he estimated that they would barely have the combat power of a sub-legendary level.

Jiang He took out four hundred Immortal Coins from the proceeds.

"Then let's buy a disciple. If the true disciples and outer disciples don't work, then let the disciples take the stage. No one should embarrass me."

Jiang He stood up and transformed into a streak of light as she descended the mountain.

In the vast capital city, there are many brokerage firms, among which Wanbaolou is the largest. It is a subordinate force of the Changsun Immortal Clan. It is said that those with special physiques have a fixed price, and some sects and lineages are frequent customers. After all, there can never be too many geniuses.

……

Mount Dedao.

The peaks are verdant, and the landscape is picturesque.

The Great Heavenly Lord sat alone in the pavilion, his black hair turned white, and his expression was more haggard than ever before.

"Of ten thousand possibilities, only one will succeed."

"But it ended half a month ago."

The Great Heavenly Emperor sighed.

The Immortal Clan's Daoist disciple killed his third junior sister and ninth junior brother, and also caused his seventh junior brother to die in his calamity. The hatred between the two sides ran deep. He did his best to deduce the Qimen Dunjia and finally found another possibility for victory. That Daoist disciple was born with a demonic seed, but he had a few people he truly cared about. If he could capture them, he would immediately gain the upper hand.

"Unfortunately, the timing was wrong; these people have already disappeared from the world."

"Tianyan, come to see me immediately."

Not long after, a young Taoist arrived. Tianyan Taoist had only been cultivating for two hundred years, yet he had already attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven, holding the [Borrowing Wind] position. He was the second direct descendant of the Dao Mountain, second only to his senior brother, Donghua Zifu Tianjun.

The "borrowing the wind" position, of course, does not simply refer to controlling the wind. One of its true meanings is "relying on the favorable wind to send me soaring to the clouds," which in short means borrowing power.

Seeing his senior brother in such a sorry state, Daoist Tianyan was moved: "Senior brother, why suffer like this? The Dao follows the natural order. Everyone has their own destiny and bears the consequences of their own life and death. Senior brother is deeply entangled in karma. You should know that even the best swimmer can drown..."

The Great Heavenly Lord calmly said, "Master has defied the will of Heaven. The killing intent of Heaven and Earth has enveloped me and is about to destroy Master's lineage in the mortal world."

Tianyan Daoist was shocked and said, "Senior brother knows the reason, so why are you still so stubborn?"

With calamity looming, the Great Heavenly Lord, possessing extraordinary abilities, had already sensed something and was even able to deduce the root cause, yet he showed no intention of stopping.

Originally, Heaven and Earth were looking for a way to destroy the Dao Mountain. Ever since the Dao Lord's ninth disciple reincarnated and occupied the spot of the Chosen One, the karmic backlash had already begun. However, the Chosen One was a weapon that disrupted the balance of Heaven. The Dao Mountain had no choice but to take action first for the sake of the Dao Lord's safety.

“I raised my third, seventh, and ninth children myself. As parents, how can we sit idly by and watch the murderer go unpunished?”

"Besides, there's always a way out; there's always a glimmer of hope."

“I’m still calculating, but we can’t let Jiang Wuyang grow stronger without his consent. You need to assess the situation, protect yourself, and go down the mountain to contact all parties. Just remember one thing: you absolutely cannot kill him. So just cause trouble in secret. I’ve already covered for you.”

Tianyan Daoist was still wondering why his senior brother didn't come down the mountain himself.

The next moment, the Great Heavenly Lord sent him out of the Enlightenment Mountain. Immediately afterwards, a large hole suddenly appeared in the sky, and a simple old man descended and sat down in front of the Great Heavenly Lord.

The old patriarch laughed and said, "If you leave, I will kill your other junior brothers and sisters. But it seems that even if you come down the mountain yourself, you will not be able to do anything to my Wuyang."

"Hmph." The Great Heavenly Lord snorted coldly, "The Jiang family has quite the methods. Do they intend for the three Venerables to unite in the Dao and coexist in this world?"

The old clan chief laughed it off, saying, "I have never dared to rule the world."
