However, fortunately, this time he used the Cultivation Points contributed by the Eternal Life God to break through once again, and unexpectedly discredited this bold speculation, completely proving his true talent as a cultivation genius.

At this moment, Jiang Dali had already left the Mongolian Imperial City with Wang Yuyan and Murong Qingqing, who were willing to leave with him. They found the Demon Dragon outside the Imperial City, and the group then departed on the dragon, which had betrayed Guang Chengzi.

Only Xiao Feng, Xie Xiaofeng, and Sikong Zhaixing remained in Mongolia.

The former stayed to accompany Azhu in Mongolia as she nurtured pregnancy, aiming to have a son who could eventually shoot Great Eagles with a bow in Mongolia. The Mongolian Emperor, in a moment of drunken excitement, almost arranged a betrothal, claiming that if Azhu’s unborn child was a boy, he would marry him to a young princess, so that Xiao Feng’s son could become a Golden Saber Prince Consort like Hero Guo Jing once was.

The latter two intended to stay in Jingyan Palace to continue comprehending the War God Chronicles.

As for the others who had gathered during the battle at God-searching Palace, they had long dispersed across the lands. Nie Renwang embarked on the path of finding his son Nie Feng. As he said, he would bring Nie Feng to Unrivaled City to find Ming Yue, letting the two children cultivate feelings from an early age, to prevent the girl from changing her heart when she grows up, leaving his son. This strong sense of prevention made Jiang Dali secretly give a thumbs up.

Zhu Wushi returned to the Ming Country to continue his loving, elder life with Suxin, while secretly assisting and urging the visibly less imposing Zhu Yunwen to manage the state affairs, playing the role of a good princely uncle. He also rebuilt Hulong Manor, appointing Cheng Shifei, Suxin’s son, as a Huang Character Secret Investigator, and began investigating the origins of the mysterious people who had once taken Duan Tianya and Gui Hai Yidao away.

Dongfang Bubai returned to the Sun and Moon Divine Sect to handle sect affairs and, according to Jiang Dali’s instructions, controlled the Ice Emperor and Luo Xian, beginning an investigation in the Martial World into clues related to the Heavenly Gate and Shakyamuni.

Lu Xiaofeng was saddened by the death of another beloved woman before him, sinking into a state of self-doubt and guilt. After the battle, he took Shui Ling’s sister Xue Yuan to somewhere with his other old flames to drink and comfort his wounded spirit.

In Lu Xiaofeng’s words, when one’s heart is broken by a woman, only by going to ten or even a hundred other women can one find warmth again. But none of this was important; the important thing was that in his heart, he would always leave a place for the woman who hurt him, a place that ten or even a hundred other women couldn’t shake.

Jiang Dali, upon hearing this, was astonished, feeling he had learned something new. Lu Xiaofeng’s realm of infatuation had reached the profound understanding of the Buddha by high monks of the Buddhist sect like Hui En. The so-called ’allow the wine and meat to pass through your intestines, leave Buddha in your heart’ was mirrored by Lu Xiaofeng’s ’pass through a hundred skirts, love only one deeply.’ Such a mentality might be despised by other honest men, yet would earn the deep admiration and brotherly bonding recognition from Azhu’s father, Duan Zhengchun.

...

"Village chief, now that you’re not going to the Ten Extremes Pass, where are we headed? Are we returning to our Mountain Village?"

On the back of the Demon Dragon in the high air, Wang Yuyan’s hair lightly danced in the wind, her fair face carrying some anticipation as she gazed at Jiang Dali.

Jiang Dali read the expectation in her eyes, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Before the Abnormal People vanished, they mentioned they might return in a month. Now, the one-month period is approaching, and I estimate the Abnormal People will reappear in the next two days. I have sent out Yun Yan to inform the subbranches in various places to prepare. I’ll first send you and Qingqing back. You will assist in arranging activities to welcome the Abnormal People back, to let them feel at home."

"Feel at home?..."

Wang Yuyan chewed over these words, her bright eyes gradually lighting up, and she nodded earnestly, "Alright, village chief, rest assured, Sister Qingqing and I will arrange it well."

Murong Qingqing smiled gently and said, "Village chief, you’ve always been good to the Abnormal People, and perhaps that’s why they admire you so much. But it sounds like you have other things to do on your own?"

"Indeed."

Jiang Dali nodded, pulling out a small bottle that felt slightly warm, as if containing hot water, from a hidden compartment in his waist belt, eyes showing deep contemplation, "Back at the battlefield ruins of the God-searching Palace, I discovered this blood left by Shakyamuni. I want to investigate whether the blood in this bottle is truly Phoenix Blood, for if it is, then the origins of Shakyamuni will become very interesting."

The Divine Walk Grand Protector standing behind him heard this, his eyes flickered, and a peculiar expression appeared on his face under the veil.

"Divine Walk Grand Protector!"

The Divine Walk Grand Protector’s body shook, immediately bowing, "Subordinate here!"

Jiang Dali slowly turned around.

A handsome and rugged, rough-hewn face with its cold, bright eyes more radiant than gems flashing in the deep sea, stared coldly at the Divine Walk Grand Protector, "I will now use the Heaven Shifting Divine Technique to unlock half a Qi Gate for you. While I am not in the Mountain Village, you must ensure the safety of various regions of the village, especially guarding against the backlash of the Blood Transformation Divine Venerable."

The Divine Walk Grand Protector was overjoyed, hastily bowing, "Thank you, village chief! The subordinate will definitely not fail your trust. Even if the Dharma Body Puppet of the Blood Transformation Divine Venerable comes, if his true self approaches, the subordinate swears to stop him."

Jiang Dali nonchalantly shook his head, believing the probability of the true self of the Blood Transformation Divine Venerable appearing was low.

Back then, All-knowing Madman had calculated that the Eternal Life God found two evil experts to join forces, intending to strike at his Black Wind Village, one being undoubtedly the Blood Transformation Divine Venerable, and the other likely being someone significant from the Wan Family.

The Wan Family is far in the Holy Dynasty, deeply rooted, and no expert dares to cause trouble in vassal states, so that’s not to be mentioned.

And the Blood Transformation Divine Venerable also, because Hui Qi had headed to the Holy Dynasty and alarmed Yuanting Pavilion, was hunted by Lingyun Pavilion experts, unable to look after himself, thus did not participate in the battle at God-searching Palace back then.

Therefore, the Blood Transformation Divine Venerable would definitely not appear in the vassal state now, but his Dharma Body Puppet is a problem, and among his many disciples, there remains a deeply inscrutable senior disciple one must guard against.

However... now that God-searching Palace is destroyed, any thought of revenge by the Wan Family falls short, and unless the Blood Transformation Divine Venerable seeks trouble himself, he likely won’t dare to come against his Black Wind Village again.

But soon, with the return of the Players imminent, Jiang Dali also doesn’t wish for any mishaps in the Mountain Village in his absence, causing the Players to lose confidence. Therefore, having the Divine Walk Grand Protector, an expert of the Returning to Truth Realm, remain in the Mountain Village is necessary.

His palm suddenly moved, manipulating Qi with intent, and the power of the Heaven Shifting Divine Technique, absorbed and stored within by the Absorption Skill, suddenly surged from the Dantian, transforming into a white glow enveloping his palm. One palm struck through the air towards the Divine Walk Grand Protector, the force rushing into the opponent’s meridians, wandering in the acupoints, instantly striking towards the opponent’s closed Qi Gate. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Ah!!!"

The Divine Walk Grand Protector let out a miserable scream, his arms suddenly spread open, the hat being lifted by the Qi Force.

In an instant, his Qi Gate was numb with pain, sweat pouring profusely, soaking his entire clothing. He only felt that the impact on the Qi Gate seemed to affect his entire spine, giving rise to needle-like pain piercing the bone, his will almost clouding over to faintness.

However, thinking that if the Qi Gate opened halfway, his "Divine Heaven Extreme" would also be half complete, then his power would greatly increase, surely enabling him to break through to the Returning to Truth 2 Realm. At this moment, all the sufferings he endured were worth it, he immediately clenched his jaws, enduring the swelling pain of muscles inch by inch wanting to burst, stubbornly persisting....
