âItâs because you are weak,â Jiang Chen spoke disdainfully.
âYou have obviously become a Great Venerable just recently, and itâs impossible for you to possess such great fighting prowess. Do you possess all four Qi?â
The great sectâs elder couldnât understand this matter. He was just at the early stage of the Great Venerable Realm, and it wasnât too unusual for Jiang Chen to manage to send him flying with a single slap.
But the Wing Menâs king and the two other kings were both extremely powerful.
âFour Qi?â Jiang Chen just revealed a mysterious smile and didnât explain anything.
Once a cultivator reached the Great Venerable Realm, everything would become different than before. If the path before was just a pursuit of power, then after one became a Great Venerable, he would step onto a new stage, where he would be pursuing greater matters like eternal life, eternal youth, and other such weighty matters. Even though it was difficult to really achieve any of those, but oneâs life force would still get a great promotion.
The Great Venerables were cultivating four types of energies, which were Mysterious Clear Energy, Xuan Qing Qi, Mysterious Spiritual Energy, Xuan Ling Qi, Mysterious Void Energy, Xuan Kong Qi, and Mysterious Bright Energy, Xuan Ming Qi. They would form altogether the Bright and Clear Spiritual Void.
All those four Qis didnât exist in the world, and it was only Great Venerables who would transform the worldâs energy into such types of energy. However, it was obvious that not all people could cultivate four types of energy at the same time, and most people would just choose the Mysterious Clear Energy or the Mysterious Spiritual Energy.
People with outstanding talent could choose the Mysterious Void Energy and Mysterious Bright Energy, and people with a special body like the spirit body, sacred body, or those who possessed Holy Pulses could cultivate one or two energies at the same time. Those able to cultivate three types of energy at the same time were people of devilish talent. As for people able to cultivate four types of energy at the same time, they already couldnât be considered human.
The reason why the great sectâs elder assumed that Jiang Chen cultivated four types of energy was that the power displayed by him didnât conform to reason.
Regardless of which type of energy one cultivated, one still couldnât break free of the Realm System. After one became a Great Venerable, his Holy Sea would go through a great transformation, and nine whirlpools would be formed in it, and they correspond to each of a humanâs nine orifices.
The cultivators would need to fill those whirlpools completely to raise their cultivation. Once a whirlpool was filled completely, it would shine with a splendid light rivaling stars, and this was why such a Realm System was divided into nine stars levels.
The great sectâs elder and Jiang Chen were both one-star Great Venerables, while the Wing Menâs King was a four-stars Great Venerable, and the other two kings were three-stars Great Venerable. Yet, Jiang Chen still managed to kill them easily, and this was why the great sectâs elder felt like Jiang Chen probably cultivated four types of energy.
If one managed to illuminate a Constellation Palace through using the Mysterious Clear Energy, Mysterious Spiritual Energy, Mysterious Void Energy, and Mysterious Bright Energy, one would surely manage to become a peerless expert.
However the Four Qi wasnât something anyone could cultivate if he wanted, and oneâs limit would appear when he was advancing to the Great Venerable Realm. It would be impossible for one to achieve it unless he had a divine body. However, was it possible for someone with a divine body to reach the Great Venerable Realm?
âYou seem more concerned about me than your own life,â Jiang Chen spoke mockingly.
The great sectâs elder came back to his senses, and fright appeared on his face.
âYou mustnât kill me because you will invite a great disaster upon yourself by doing so,â the great sectâs elder started threatening him.
âIs that the case?â Jiang Chen sneered coldly.
âThe Wing Men clan possessed only such a trifling power, yet I have still come over to the Nine Realms to assist them, and do such a dirty job. Donât you find such a matter quite strange?â The great sectâs elder was quite old, and was experienced enough to realize that begging for forgiveness would be just a futile effort, and he started trying to guide him.
However, it was a pity that he ran into Jiang Chen, and such a technique was useless against him.
âThere is still the Silver Wing Clan, and the Holy Wing Clan above the Wing Men Clan. Is this what you want to say?â Jiang Chen asked.
âYou already knew everything?â The great sectâs elder was dumbfounded. Since he was already aware of this, why did he still dare to attack them viciously?
âIn ancient times, the Human Clanâs martial techniques were weak, and they had just a few experts, yet they still dared to wage war against the Alien Clans, but now even great sects like yours are useless and cowardly.â
Jiang Chen said, âI donât know just this. I want those Alien Clans to realize that the Nine Realms isnât a place they can come at any time they want.â
âFine, fine, I know what you want, and I will help you notify them.â The great sectâs elder ignored Jiang Chenâs bold words and didnât care about them.
âDo I really need you to notify them?â As Jiang Chen spoke, his Heavenly Fault Sword penetrated the elderâs heart. As the elder took his last breath, the white jade badge on his body turned into specks of light and flew toward the planesâ channel.
Even though they were in different realms, the news of a Great Venerableâs death would still pass through the Three Middle and Lower Realms and would be transmitted back.
When Jiang Chen flew back to the Natural Law Schoolâs sky, he discovered that the Azure Demon and Black Dragon had already finished taking care of that affair.
âItâs like before, if we lend our power, you can fight even apex Great Venerables,â the Azure Demon said excitedly.
âItâs just ordinary apex Great Venerables,â Jiang Chen said.
âThat is really the case.â
Jiang Chen broke the curse, and his divine body matured completely, and he was able to cultivate the Four Qi at the same time. It would be difficult for him to have a match at the same generation just because of such a matter alone, and in addition to his Lore Martial Techniques, Jiang Chen still had the Sky-burning Evil Flame, Buddhist Heart, Doctrine Bones, and Heavenly Lightningâs power.
âItâs only after you manage to light your first Constellation Palace will your power truly become terrifying.â
The Great Venerables were usually called Star Venerable, and a single-star Venerable was someone who managed to light his first Constellation Palace. This was the reason why it was only after one became a two-star Venerable that he really could set foot wholly in the Great Venerable Realm, and it was then could he display a Star Venerableâs true power. This was also the reason why the great sectâs elder was so surprised by Jiang Chenâs power.
âIf one cultivates all Four Qi, he will need a true scripture for every energy,â Jiang Chen said.
It was still manageable if it was just the Mysterious Clear Energy and Mysterious Spiritual Energy because many people cultivate such energies, which meant their cultivation scriptures were quite numerous. As for the Mysterious Void Energy and Mysterious Bright Energy, they were rarer, and it was especially the case for the Mysterious Bright Energy. Jiang Chen would need to spend a long time to find those cultivation techniques.
âHowever, once you succeed, you will make a meteoric rise. Didnât you witness the benefits of breaking the divine bodyâs curse? You can discern it clearly upon looking at the fright on that humanâs face,â the Azure Demon said.
Since he had managed to break even the divine bodyâs curse, how could he give up now?
Jiang Chen just smiled and didnât reply. He wasnât stating demoralizing talk and was just explaining clearly his current situation to them. It would be impossible for him to give up, and he would surely treasure such a chance that Xueâer offered him through her death.
âThe schoolâs headmaster is a Supreme Venerable!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
It was at this moment that shouts transmitted from the whole Natural Law School, and all its disciples were kneeling on the ground with their faces filled with adoration and reverence. Even the leaders felt reverence well up in their hearts as they looked at Jiang Chen. When Jiang Chen had just become the schoolâs headmaster, he still didnât possess such a great fighting prowess. Moreover, they didnât get any news about him for one or two years, and many people started complaining and wanted to choose a new headmaster for the school. However, Jiang Chen was now able to exterminate the whole Natural Law School with a single finger, and no one would still dare to state such complaints.
âStand up!â Jiang Chen landed on the schoolâs ground.
As Jiang Chen recalled the past events, he was quite emotionally moved. However, he still didnât forget what he should do, and he immediately ordered them to search the whole Fire Field to check whether there were still Ancient Raceâs members in it.
Moreover, he still went personally to the Nine Heaven Realmâs planesâ channel and set a formation in it. As long as any expert entered or left this realm, he would detect it.
Jiang Chen had even considered sealing the planesâ channel, but it was a pity that his possessions and his warâs spoils were left in the Ice Spirit Clan. He had now just his two swords and the eight groups of spiritual beingsâ scriptures with him.
âShould I go to take them back?â Jiang Chen started hesitating. The reason why he hesitated wasnât that he was afraid of trouble, but just that he would have then to meet his senior sister once again.
âI should consider after I reach the Three Middle Realms.â
Jiang Chen quickly shook his head. He didnât dare to go there once again. Nangong Xue had created a great and insurmountable chasm between him and his senior sister.
âTianyin, are you still all right now?â Jiang Chen couldnât help but think of another important woman for him.
His Realm Level had already overtaken her, and he could now travel hand in hand with Tianyin and search for a holy skill suitable to her.
