"This... Jiang Chen is so well-regarded in the abandoned plains?"

Ouyang Song was slightly astonished.

"The abandoned plains suppress the realm to the peak of the Divine Infant Realm. When Jiang Chen was in the abandoned plains, he killed more than one semi-saint whose realm was suppressed. Upon leaving the abandoned plains, he encountered five saints and five semi-saints who encircled him. As a result, five semi-saints were slapped to death by his master’s hand, and one saint was knocked out without the ability to resist. Do you think anyone still dares to provoke him in the abandoned plains?"

Jin Ming continued.

"Kill... he killed semi-saints whose realms were suppressed? Was it by using formation? Is this kid’s formation skills so profound?"

Ouyang Song exclaimed, not surprised about Elder Zhu’s action, but Jiang Chen astonished him once again.

"It’s not by using formation, it’s through sheer strength. His battle prowess, killing the semi-saints whose realms were suppressed to the peak of Divine Infant Realm."

Jin Ming gently shook his head.

Jian Cangqiong was bewildered, dumbfoundedly looking at Jin Ming. When he heard Jiang Chen speak, he also assumed it was by formation. He knew Jiang Chen’s formation skills were strong, but Jin Ming unexpectedly said it’s by battle prowess, this...

That’s a semi-saint! Even if the realm is suppressed to the peak of the Divine Infant Realm, it can still exhibit late Virtual Refinement Realm or even stronger battle prowess, right? Peak Divine Infant Realm killing late Virtual Refinement Realm? What the heck?

"I, I... damn!"

Ouyang Song was stunned, speechless, and could only exclaim "damn!"

"Cangqiong! Return to Changling Academy, you must bring Jiang Chen back to Changling Academy. The academy can make an exception to give him the best opportunities, letting him access the best cultivation resources."

Ouyang Song grabbed Jian Cangqiong’s arm urgently.

"Opportunities? Not directly giving resources? A Son of Heavenly Dao who has gathered six perfected Great Dao Wheels of Light isn’t worth making an exception for direct cultivation resources?"

Jin Ming slightly furrowed his brows, looking somewhat displeased at Ouyang Song.

"What? He’s, he’s, he’s..."

Ouyang Song was shocked, thoroughly astonished, stammering and unable to speak.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, Ouyang Song soared into the sky, flying towards the valley at the academy’s entrance, accompanied by the urgent shout: "I am returning to the academy immediately, immediately finding someone, immediately sending someone to receive him, I bloody am not qualified, not qualified to welcome the student!"

Cheng Huang’er ignored Ouyang Song, fixedly looking at Jin Ming: "Senior Jin Ming, what did you say? Jiang Chen... six perfected Great Dao Wheels of Light? Isn’t it five?"

"No, not only the Five Elements Great Path, but also the Spatial Path!"

Jin Ming gently shook his head.

"Origin Path Great Dao Wheel of Light Perfected?"

Elder Feng’s eyes brightened: "Condensing the perfected Great Dao Wheel of Light from the Origin Path at the peak of Divine Infant Realm, that’s an unparalleled genius, just for this he surpasses even a Son of Heavenly Dao!"

Looking up at Jian Cangqiong, Elder Feng spoke urgently: "I know that Little Wine contacted us from over there, intending for him to come to us after returning from the Extraterritorial Battlefield. How about going now? Don’t go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield!"

Jian Cangqiong paused for a moment, a trace of hesitation flickered in his eyes, then gently shook his head: "He won’t give up going to the Extraterritorial Battlefield."

"This... persuade him!"

Elder Feng furrowed his brows slightly and said sternly: "Do you understand what it means for the peak Divine Infant Realm to condense the perfected Great Dao Wheel of Light of the Spatial Path?"

"It signifies the stance of Supreme!"

Jian Cangqiong replied calmly: "Senior, I know you value Jiang Chen, but we, especially Elder Wine, value Jiang Chen even more. To speak selfishly, none of us want him to go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield initially, which was impossible. Ignoring the existence of the Extraterritorial Battlefield is one thing, but knowing of it, he will undoubtedly go. This is a determination and a soft spot in his heart."

"Determination? Soft spot? What do you mean?"

Elder Feng furrowed his brows lightly, puzzled, and looked at Jian Cangqiong.

"He..."

Jian Cangqiong hesitated briefly, glanced at Jin Ming and Gold Ang, then stated solemnly: "Two seniors, I’d like to know why you two are helping Jiang Chen."

"Please keep this confidential, Mr Jiang saved our ancestor, an ancestor from ancient times!" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Jin Ang answered without hesitation. The Gold-devouring Rat Clan’s space was sealed, and while the news of Jin Baisheng being alive shouldn’t be widely spread, informing Jian Cangqiong and the others was harmless.

"What? Ancestor from ancient times!?"

Cheng Huang’er was startled and exclaimed: "Senior, do you mean Senior Jin Baisheng?!"

"Yes!"

Jin Ang gently nodded.

Elder Feng’s eyes almost popped out, revealing an extremely shocked expression.

Jian Cangqiong wasn’t as shaken—he was too young and didn’t have the comprehensive information Cheng Huang’er did, unable to appreciate what the name Jin Baisheng implied.

However, he was certain of one thing: the Gold-devouring Rat Clan wouldn’t betray Jiang Chen; beasts value gratitude more than humans.

"I also hope everyone keeps this confidential!"

Jian Cangqiong’s expression turned serious, and he spoke softly: "Jiang Chen he..."

"Life Origin Star Commander!?"

"Damn, came from a collapsing space?"

"What? Only cultivated for seven years?"

The bursts of exclamations came from Jin Ang, Jin Ming, and Elder Feng, continuing unabated until Jian Cangqiong finished narrating Jiang Chen’s story, the three never closing their mouths.

"This... it seems he truly won’t give up the opportunity to go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield."

Elder Feng calmed his spirit, softly commenting with a sigh.

"Jiang Chen is cultivating, let’s go see him. If it’s not urgent, we can call out to him."

Jian Cangqiong spoke softly.

Cheng Huang’er glanced at the summit’s flickering lightning, feeling the violent thunderous force, silently thinking, I’m... still not at his level!

The group said nothing more, stepping upwards.

Summit of South Maniac Mountain.

Electric sparks crackled!

Thunder boomed!

The entire summit of South Maniac Mountain was enveloped by the lightning, with bolts of thunder radiating from the central area.

Within the lightning, two figures sat on massive stumps resembling the Old Locust Tree—one emitted thunderous force across his body, while the other discharged lightning from his entire orifices.

Half a month had passed, and during this time, Jiang Chen and his companion constantly cultivated here, drawing the mountain’s summit’s lightning from the Old Locust Tree.

At the summit, a transparent canopy enveloped the entire mountain top, blocking the thunder from expanding outward. Otherwise, the lightning wouldn’t be confined to just the summit.

Currently, Jiang Chen’s Great Dao Wheel of Light was visible, with thunderous force flowing through it. These thunderous forces seemed to follow a certain pattern, subtly forming a flowing sword shadow.

Thunder Tribulation Sword!

As Jiang Chen absorbed and comprehended the Thunder Path, he simultaneously deduced the Thunder Tribulation Sword, with his Sea of Consciousness also simulating the Shadowless Demolishing Saint Slash!

This Primordial Spirit Technique was merely named Demolishing Saint Slash, but to honor the Shadowless Sword Emperor, Jiang Chen added "Shadowless" before it.

Multitasking is inherently Jiang Chen’s forte.

The Blood Fiend Droplet guards his Sea of Consciousness, while Ancestral Dragon Qi and Long Yan protect all his orifices. Jiang Chen’s defensive strength likely surpasses some Integration Path powerhouses.

He can attempt cultivation methods some Integration Stage practitioners dare not try casually.
