Covering the Sky: I am the King of Men, and I rule over the rise and fall of all heavens.

Chapter 80 Rejection
After a unanimous discussion among the sect leader and elders of the Wentian Sect, Jiang Bai was allowed to stay and become the Holy Son.

Hopefully, Jiang Bai will lead them to success in the future.

Jiang Bai found the life of the Holy Son wonderful. As long as he cultivated regularly every day and steadily increased his cultivation level, no one cared what he did.

The key is that there's also a saintess giving him flirtatious glances, which is quite beautiful.

Unfortunately, the cultivation method of the Wentian Sect emphasizes a pure yang body. The more erect one's yang energy is each morning, the faster one's cultivation speed will be.

As for why this cultivation method establishes a "Holy Maiden" and collects female disciples, the sect leader said it was a test for the male disciples.

This reminded Jiang Bai of what Zhang Sanfeng, played by Sammo Hung, said to Zhang Wuji in a certain version of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: "My master maintained his pure yang body because no one wanted him when he was young."

After all, the female disciples of the Wentian Sect also cultivate this technique, and the Holy Maiden's cultivation level is not weak either.

But believing that his ancestors wouldn't lie to him, Jiang Bai still refused the temptation.

As he grew older and his cultivation deepened, Jiang Bai felt that he might be the protagonist of destiny.

He could go out for a stroll, enter any jade gambling market, and cut a stone and get a basin-sized amount of Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold. After some cutting, it would be just enough to forge a short sword.

He obtained a black banner treasure while exploring the secret realm. It looked like the Emperor's Banner that could take all living beings to heaven. Hehe, but he insisted on naming it the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, so that it could return to its original form.

He was besieged by a powerful treasure, but he happened to come across the secluded place of an older generation of Human King Body cultivators. The elder killed off the attackers for him, but his own life was nearing its end. He then passed on his legacy to him, and he obtained a cultivation technique suitable for the Human King Body.

While exploring the forbidden land, he encountered a powerful figure who had briefly clashed with the Great Emperor of China and was unwilling to enter the strange world. He also obtained a mysterious inheritance that focused on cleansing the marrow and tempering the body.

He went to the Jiaofangsi under the Shenchao to listen to songs and dances. Once, he rescued a beauty and won her heart. Jiang Bai refused her, but the beauty fell even more in love with him.

One act of chivalry resulted in a beating of a minor character, which angered an older one. In a desperate battle, he stepped into the realm of divine prohibition at the semi-saint level and has remained there ever since, becoming a leading figure of his era. He is admired by countless people and may become the first being to break the barrier that the Human King Body cannot break through to attain the Dao.

And it attracted the quasi-emperor of the Human King Ancestral Star to personally come and impart the Dharma.

Jiang Bai inexplicably felt that there was something wrong with the technique passed down by the Quasi-Emperor, including the technique passed down by that senior Wang Ti. He didn't know exactly where the problem lay.

It's like you accidentally ate squirrel-shaped mandarin fish once, and it was unforgettable. But when you order it at a restaurant again, it's still delicious, but you always feel like something's not quite right.

Jiang Bai, increasingly upset and finding the King of Men's Body Technique unsatisfactory from every angle, began to take steps to rectify it.

As Jiang Bai continued to modify his body, he discovered his own problem. He dug out a golden pill from the depths of his body's sea of ​​suffering, and Jiang Bai almost thought he had mutated.

Through the Golden Core, Jiang Bai developed another method of cultivation.

"Could my transmigration have been orchestrated by some hidden master, just to use me as an experiment to try cultivating two methods simultaneously and condensing two Dao Fruits within my body?"

"According to the theories from the novels I read before I transmigrated, someone like me, who has a powerful figure plotting against me, usually won't die."

"Therefore, practice, condense the two Dao Fruits within your body, and then directly attain the Dao in an era when it is impossible to attain the Dao."

The deity of the Myriad Souls Banner, who was always watching, was stunned when he heard Jiang Bai's mutterings.

Master, your plan doesn't include cultivating both the secret realm method and the alchemy method, or simultaneously cultivating two Dao fruits.

However, after some thought, the deity of the Myriad Souls Banner decided not to stop Jiang Bai.

Perhaps the owner had his own reasons; although his memories were erased, his instincts remained.

The deities of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner were ultimately not human, and never considered that humans possessed a suicidal instinct.

Jiang and Bai cultivated the two methods together and ventured into the path of the human king. They quickly reached the Great Sage realm and encountered their great enemy, the emperor who had undergone a difficult rebirth.

The two met in the starry sky and engaged in a fierce battle, each using the other as a whetstone. Looking at Jiang Bai's familiar face, the Emperor almost mistook Jiang Bai for Jiang Bai's illegitimate son.

Similar rumors abound in the universe.

As for doubting that Jiang Bai is indeed Jiang Bai, the Emperor can only say that the Human King is such a serious and unsmiling person that, apart from his love of fishing, he devotes himself entirely to cultivation. How could he possibly compete with a junior?

Moreover, an immortal who cannot be cut down by time is probably busy trying to reach a higher realm right now.

The emperor became the first stumbling block on Jiang Bai's smooth sailing path.

But these were merely stumbling blocks. With dual cultivation methods and dual-core power, Jiang Bai calmed down, honed his skills, solidified his foundation, and adjusted his mindset before easily suppressing the Emperor.

In that battle, the Emperor brought his own scriptures and forbidden techniques, as well as those learned from the Emperor, to their peak. He even collected all nine secrets and used them together.

He himself has entered the realm of divine forbidden lands and resides there permanently.

At that time, the emperor already possessed all the conditions to slaughter a newly entered Quasi-Emperor at the peak of the Great Sage realm. His combat power was definitely the strongest among the ancient emperors of the same realm in their youth.

It even subtly transcends the past.

Unfortunately, it was useless. He was easily suppressed by Jiang Bai, who had calmed down.

Both were at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, both had divine restrictions permanently in place, and both possessed powerful forbidden secret techniques, but the emperor, who was unleashing a frenzied attack, was suppressed by a single hand beneath the Milky Way.

The powerful beings from all races in the universe who were watching the battle were stunned. The emperor, who was at his peak, was suppressed by a single hand.

This is something that humans can do.

Why?

"Why?" The Emperor's heart was in turmoil. He was an ever-victorious general, and this time he had undergone a rebirth. His foundation was profound, and his combat power was far superior to before. How could he lose?

"Perhaps because I'm the main character," Jiang Bai said casually.

Otherwise, what would he say? That he has dual-core power? If the Human King, who resides high in the Ninth Heaven, found out, he would surely dissect him.

The deity of the Myriad Souls Banner was speechless. His master's personality after the reconstruction was vastly different from before.

The deity of the Myriad Souls Banner wanted to record Jiang Bai's moment, but it feared that Jiang Bai would become enraged and shatter it.

After defeating the emperor, Jiang Bai had no rivals left in the universe. He spent his days traveling, cultivating, and comprehending the Great Dao.

At the age of eight hundred, Jiang Bai faced the tribulation of the Great Perfection of the Human King's Body.

It was the Ninefold Immortal Tribulation, where the nine Heavenly Venerables sat cross-legged in their palaces, attacking and killing Jiang Bai.

Each of the Nine Secrets, when pushed to its limit, represents a law, possessing astonishing destructive power.

Jiang Bai transcended during the great battle, merging the nine great seals into one, creating the Human Emperor Seal, which clashed with the combined attack of the nine Heavenly Venerables.

The alchemy and the secret realm techniques glowed together within Jiang Bai's body, forming a union.

With mutual support and encouragement, Jiang Bai's combat power erupted once again, piercing through the Nine Heavens Immortal Tribulation with a single strike, achieving the Great Perfection of the Human King Body, and becoming a supreme being of his generation.

Looking at the golden core within his body, Jiang Bai vaguely understood something.

This is why Jiang Bai rejected the suggestions from others to go to the Divine Land to meet the Human King.
