“Since you’ve said so, what’s the difference between dying ten years earlier and ten years later? In any case, we’re going to die. We might as well take a gamble!”
Jiang Jian coldly shouted, and the vertical eye between his eyebrows also opened, becoming as dignified as a god.
The three-pointed double-edged sword in his hand trembled like a dragon’s roar.
Lin Haotian was also prepared to fight. Ping’an grinned and took out the two hammers from his back.
The high and mighty Immemorial Venerable coldly said, “Isn’t living longer what you mortals are pursuing?!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the huge finger that was similar to a huge pillar suddenly disappeared, and Jiang Jian and the others quickly dodged.
However, this time, the speed of Immemorial Venerable’s finger was far faster than before. It was so fast that Jiang Jian and Lin Haotian, who had just broken through to the Three Grotto-heaven realm, did not have the time to dodge.
Boom!
The huge finger descended from the sky, setting off terrifying waves that shook the earth and even cracked space.
The earth trembled and dust flew. Countless skeletons were swept up into the sky, forming a white whirlwind. It was a horrifying but spectacular sight.
Lin Haotian, Ping’an, and Ling Feng were all frozen in the air. In the face of the pressure contained in Immemorial Venerable’s killing intent, their blood qi and true qi were almost frozen and they could not move. However, they were not injured because Jiang Jian had blocked Immemorial Venerable’s finger.
At that moment, Jiang Jian’s entire body was shining with white light, and his aura was exceptionally powerful. He held a three-pointed double-edged sword in his left hand and raised his right hand to block Immemorial Venerable’s finger from afar, preventing it from moving down.
Lin Haotian breathed a sigh of relief. He understood that Senior had merged with Jiang Jian.
The Immemorial Venerable’s cry of surprise sounded as his huge finger shrunk into the sky and disappeared into the darkness above the dark clouds.
Jiang Jian could not help but look up. Right now, Jiang Changsheng was controlling his body.
The Inviting God with Incense function could directly provide strength and control one’s physical body. This time, in the face of the mysterious
Immemorial Venerable, Jiang Changsheng decided to fight personally. He looked up at the high and mighty Immemorial Venerable without speaking.
“That’s not right. Your aura has changed. You’ve shown a power that should not have belonged to you. Who exactly are you?”
The Immemorial Venerable looked down at Jiang Jian and asked coldly.
Jiang Jian’s eyes narrowed. In an instant, the world changed drastically. The four of them felt their vision blur and the next second, they arrived above the clouds. Everything happened so suddenly that even Lin Haotian, who had obtained a Martial Emperor’s inheritance, could not react in time.
Divine Power!
Heaven and Earth Change!
Jiang Changsheng used this Divine Power to reverse space.
When he looked up again, he saw a terrifying huge shadow above him. Only the upper half of his body was revealed in the darkness, similar to a shadow. Even if it was a shadow, it was unimaginably huge.
The Immemorial Venerable’s eyes widened, clearly shocked by Jiang Changsheng’s Divine Power.
Jiang Jian’s vertical eye suddenly widened and a golden light suddenly shot out.
Eye of the Great Dao!
The golden light illuminated the dim void, shattered space, and struck the phantom of the Immemorial Venerable.
“What kind of power is this…”
The Immemorial Venerable raised his hand to block, but it was pierced by the divine light of the Eye of the Great Dao, creating a huge hole in the dark void.
This was the magic power of the ninth level of the Dao Technique. Even though Jiang Jian could not display Jiang Changsheng’s full strength, it was enough to injure the Immemorial Venerable.
Jiang Jian’s heart trembled. Was that how the Eye of the Great Dao was used?
At that moment, he waved his hand and wrapped Lin Haotian, Ping’an, and Ling Feng with his magic power before rushing out at an extremely fast speed.
The four of them flew towards the Immemorial Venerable and passed through the dark void that was pierced by the Eye of the Great Dao. In a flash, they pierced through the surging fog and arrived under the blue sky.
Lin Haotian turned his head and could not help but widen his eyes. Behind him was a black mist that covered the sky and drowned out the sun. This black mist submerged a vast area, and outside the black mist was an incomparably majestic figure with a height of ten thousand feet.
It was the Immemorial Venerable!
He had a human-like physique with black scales on his body and bone spurs protruding from his joints. He also had a mouth larger than his head on his chest that were filled with sharp teeth. His long forked tongue was like a dragon python as it twisted its body. He was like an ancient demon god standing between heaven and earth. His white hair danced wildly and every strand of his hair was like an iron lock that stirred up waves.
The Immemorial Venerable flew into a rage and turned to punch Jiang Jian and the others.
Jiang Changsheng controlled Jiang Jian’s body and raised his right palm. In an instant, a blue sword shadow condensed out of thin air. It was ten thousand feet long and charged towards the Immemorial Venerable with unstoppable might.
Soul Sense Divine Sword!
Boom!
The Immemorial Venerable’s fist collided with the Soul Sense Divine Sword and dispersed it. However, he was also forced back. His right fist cracked and dark purple blood overflowed. It landed on the ground and burned the forest.
Jiang Changsheng immediately flew to the horizon with the four of them.
The Immemorial Venerable did not chase after them. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at his right hand. He frowned and muttered, “What kind of power is this…”
Even though his physique was so powerful, it was so easily pierced. Even though he was confident, he did not dare to chase rashly and could only watch them leave.
Ling Feng turned around and saw the Immemorial Venerable standing at the end of the horizon, staring at them coldly. Under the black mist that covered the sky behind him, he was so terrifying that Ling Feng shivered in fright. He hastily turned back, not daring to look again.
“That’s a formation?”
Lin Haotian noticed something and asked in surprise.
Jiang Jian said, “That’s right. Even though that area is large enough, it is isolated by a special formation, so you cannot force your way out. You have been searching for so many years and the right direction happens to be the eye of this array. That’s why he stopped you.”
This was said in Jiang Changsheng’s voice!
Hearing this voice, Lin Haotian and Jiang Jian felt at ease.
Ping’an grinned and said, “Master… master…”
Jiang Changsheng raised his hand and rubbed his head, while still maintaining his full speed.
After all, the Immemorial Venerable was a terrifying existence that could contend against a Martial Emperor. Jiang Changsheng had only possessed
Jiang Jian, so he could not easily kill the Immemorial Venerable. He could only
take them and run.
However, if this Immemorial Venerable appeared in front of him, he could kill him.
They continued to fly away.
After an unknown period of time, night fell and Jiang Jian and the others landed on the ground. Jiang Changsheng’s possession also stopped.
The four of them landed in a mountain forest. After Jiang Jian lost Jiang Changsheng’s strength, his legs went soft and he sat on the ground. Lin Haotian smiled and asked, “How is it? How is Senior’s strength?”
Jiang Jian raised his head, sweating profusely. He panted and said, “Very strong. I even feel that I can kill that Immemorial Venerable, but I am not strong enough to withstand such power for a long time.”
He was still reminiscing about the scene of his grandfather fighting with his third eye.
He touched his vertical eye.
Could it be that grandpa also had such eyes? Why couldn’t he see them usually? Ling Feng carefully asked, “Will the Immemorial Venerable catch up to us?”
Lin Haotian said, “Once he catches up, Senior will certainly notice it. However, we cannot let our guard down. There might be new dangers.” After saying that, he sat down and let out a long breath.
In any case, they had finally escaped.
“Damn it, how long have we been trapped there? I’ve almost forgotten the number of years.”
“In any case, we’ve become stronger, haven’t we?”
“That’s true.”
Jiang Jian and Lin Haotian conversed in a low voice while Ling Feng looked around vigilantly. Ping’an yawned and sat down against a tree.
Longqi Mountain, in the courtyard.
It was already late at night.
Jiang Changsheng got up and returned to his room. He had received a notification previously.
[In the 18th year of the Yan Yuan Era, your grandson Jiang Jian, your disciple
Ping’an, and the genius you value, Lin Haotian, were attacked by the Immemorial Venerable. Fortunately, you took action in time and cut off the karma. You received a survival reward—Divine Power, ‘Great Dao Transformation’.]
Even though he did not kill the Immemorial Venerable, he still obtained a
survival reward.
The name of the reward also sounded pretty good.
Jiang Changsheng sat on the bed and began to inherit the Great Dao Transformation.
The Great Dao Transformation was not a transformation technique. Instead, it was a transcendent Divine Power that condensed one’s Divine Power and spells into a certain part of the body. It could condense into hair, head or even limbs. After transforming, it could be used by oneself or handed over to others. It could completely display the strength of magic power.
Jiang Changsheng could condense his various Divine Powers into strands of hair, but it was only condensed, not transferred. In other words, after condensing them, his main body could still use his Divine Powers, and he still had the Scattering Beans into Soldiers Spell.
The Great Dao Transformation not only allowed others to cast his Divine
Powers, but it could also be stored on ordinary occasions. For example, the Soul Sense Divine Sword. If he took a certain amount of time to condense it into three thousand strands of hair, he could directly cast three thousand strands of the Soul Sense Divine Swords without depleting the magic power in his body.
The upper limit of this Divine Power was extremely high. It was equivalent to transforming divine powers and spells into weapons and storing them for future use.
The possibilities were endless!
Even though it was pretty good, Jiang Changsheng would not use the Great Dao Transformation every day. After all, he needed time to cultivate.
He began to inherit the memories of the Great Dao Transformation.
The next morning, Jiang Changsheng walked out of the house and came to the courtyard.
No one had any doubts as they trained on their own. Jiang Tianming had yet to wake up, and the courtyard was in complete silence.
Under the tree, Jiang Changsheng began to cultivate the Great Dao Transformation.
The cultivation of the Great Dao Transformation was not that extensive. He planned to concentrate the Great Dao Transformation on his hair so that it would be inconspicuous. However, it would take a lot of time to master it.
Another year passed, and it was the 19th year of the Yan Yuan Era.
New spring had just passed.
Jiang Changsheng had just mastered the Great Dao Transformation. He was prepared to transform all the Divine Powers he had mastered into hair in case of emergencies.
During this period of time, Jiang Jian and the others had completely escaped the predicament of the Immemorial Venerable. However, they were still far away from Great Jing and were currently on their way in the direction Jiang Changsheng had pointed out.
Lin Haotian sighed with emotion. He had spent so many years searching for Great Jing, but he did not expect to search for it again. Fate really made fools of people.
Although he had lost the Sky Thunder Eagle, he was not alone this time.
On this day, Qing’er came to visit.
“Dao Ancestor, the King of the Northern Frontier has come to visit. Do you want to see him?” Qing’er asked.
Jiang Changsheng did not even open his eyes. “Let him come.”
Qing’er nodded and turned to leave.
Ji Wujun looked at him and said, “The King of the Northern Frontier is the most powerful prodigy of the Jiang Family. It is said that he is not inferior to Jiang
Jian. He reached the Grotto-heaven realm a few years ago.”
Ye Xun stared at Jiang Tianming who was training and snorted. “How is he worthy of being compared to Jiang Jian? He doesn’t have a third eye. I admit that his talent is indeed good, but he is not the strongest in the Jiang Family, let alone comparable to my disciple.. It is very impressive to reach the
Grotto-heaven realm at the age of a hundred, but isn’t this all thanks to the
Dao Ancestor? If not for the Dao Ancestor moving Great Jing to the Great Wilderness, how could there be so many peerless geniuses?”
