Chapter 370: Grand Alchemy Dao, The Power of the Dragon Palace
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“In the 144th year of the Dingtian Era, Palace Master Ji was ordered by Celestial
Venerable Bu to descend to the Lower Realm to search for the Nirvana Ultimate Creation Technique. You successfully survived his challenge and avoided a calamity. You have obtained a survival reward—Immortal Cultivation Ultimate Technique, ‘Grand Alchemy Dao’.”
Looking at the notification in front of him, Jiang Changsheng smiled.
Alchemy was something he had been looking forward to for a long time.
Before this, he had only learned the most basic alchemy and had grasped very few pill formulas. The medicinal pills he concocted could not be considered as immortal pills.
As expected of a survival reward coming from an expert in the Ultimate Void Realm!
Jiang Changsheng’s mood became even better, and he began to inherit the Grand Alchemy Dao.
Bai Qi observed the change in his expression and was secretly curious. Did his master go out to fight just now?
Even though the battle between Jiang Changsheng and Palace Master Ji was short, the pressure that came from Palace Master Ji’s battle intent was extremely strong. Moreover, that slash had alarmed the entire Great Wilderness Martial World, waking Bai Qi up in fright. She was not able to sleep as deeply as White Dragon.
Bai Qi was only curious and did not dare to ask further. She could only ask if Jiang Changsheng was willing to tell her.
After a long time.
Jiang Changsheng slowly opened his eyes. The Grand Alchemy Dao was more comprehensive than he had imagined. Other than the vast amount of pill formulas, there were also many medicinal ingredients recorded. Most importantly, the Grand Alchemy Dao actually recorded the cultivation method of the Samadhi True Flames.
The Samadhi True Fire was refined from essence, qi, and spirit into Samadhi. It could burn everything and was extremely fierce, aligning with extreme Yang. It was precisely because the Samadhi True Fire was formed from essence, qi, and spirit that after being greatly proficient in it, the alchemist could control the temperature of the fire more perfectly.
This was a huge profit!
Not only did he obtain an immortal pill encyclopedia, but he also obtained a Samadhi True Flame equivalent to a Divine Power!
Jiang Changsheng did not cultivate immediately. Instead, he inserted his spiritual will into the Purple Crystal Gourd.
Palace Master Ji’s corporeal body had been reduced to ashes, and even his divine weapon had been refined to avoid being traced by that mysterious
Celestial Venerable Bu. But, Palace Master Ji’s soul was still there, and Jiang Changsheng was prepared to search his memories to understand the Divine Martial Realm and Celestial Venerable Bu.
He first checked Palace Master Ji’s soul and after ensuring that there were no marks, he began to read his memories.
The Divine Power of the Eye of the Great Dao was able to perform soul-searching. As martial artists trained their bodies but not their souls, in the face of the Eye of the Great Dao, their souls could not resist.
Palace Master Ji’s memories were much larger than Taishi Changche’s. The memories of the two were not on the same level.
As far as Palace Master Ji knew, the Divine Martial Realm divided their ranks from the lowest to the highest: Divine Lord, Palace Master, Divine Martial Venerable, and Great Celestial Venerable. It was said that there were ranks higher than the Great Celestial Venerable, but that was not something a Palace Master like him could come into contact with. Celestial Venerable Bu was a Great Celestial Venerable.
There were 72 Great Celestial Venerables, all of whom were extremely strong. Palace Master Ji had only seen a few of them, and this was through Celestial Venerable Bu’s introduction.
Even though a Divine Martial Venerable was lower in rank than a Great Celestial Venerable, a Great Celestial Venerable did not have the right to directly mobilize a Divine Martial Venerable. The Divine Martial Venerable rank was established by the Divine Martial Realm for those ancient families. The strength of a Divine Martial Venerable was hard to measure. He might be weaker than a Great Celestial Venerable or stronger. As for the exact number of them, Palace Master Ji was not sure.
There were as many Divine Lords as there were worlds in the Xuanhuang Great World. Palace Masters were organized into regions, and there were hundreds of them.
This was only the system of power to supervise the martial worlds. There was an even larger system of power within the Divine Martial Realm. It was precisely because it was powerful enough that the Divine Martial Realm could suppress the entire Xuanhuang Great World.
In Palace Master Ji’s memories, Jiang Changsheng had also learned some stories about ancient sects.
From Palace Master Ji’s point of view, ancient sects were all paranoid and crazy. They were a group of crazy martial artists who pursued illusory ancient techniques. In order to pursue and research ancient techniques, they could disregard everything.
Palace Master Ji had once faced a member of an ancient sect. Jiang Changsheng looked at the battle process. The other party could condense strange runes and use the power of runes to fight. For the time being, he could not tell if the other party was related to immortal cultivation.
Perhaps ancient martial arts were only a branch of cultivation, or perhaps immortal cultivation was even more ancient.
Runes…
Jiang Changsheng suddenly thought of Jiang Shan.
There were also mysterious runes on Jiang Shan’s bones. Could it be that the Eternal Killing Star was related to ancient techniques?
Slaughtering all beings to resurrect the ancient martial arts civilization?
The more Jiang Changsheng thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.
He continued to read Palace Master Ji’s soul memories to understand the Divine Martial Realm and the ancient sects.
The more he understood, the more he felt that ancient sects did not pursue immortal cultivation. Immortal cultivation had an obvious characteristic, and that was soul cultivation. And those from ancient sects did not display powerful soul abilities.
There were evil beings in this world, such as the mysterious soul in the body of the Head of Punishment and Ye Zhan. However, even though these soul bodies had broken away from the restriction of reincarnation, they still fought in the way of a martial artist. Their soul bodies could be destroyed by true qi. When a cultivator’s soul body reached a certain level, a martial artist would not be able to notice it at all. This was the fundamental difference.
At present, none of the known martial arts techniques involved the study of the soul. Perhaps there was one in the Divine Martial Realm, but Palace Master Ji could not come into contact with it.
After Jiang Changsheng read all the memories of Palace Master Ji, he destroyed his soul.
He calculated the strength of Celestial Venerable Bu in his heart.
Unfortunately, he could not calculate it for the time being. He had no choice but to just calculate the strongest experts in various ranges. At present, he could also calculate the starry sky near the spiraling Celestial River.
Fortunately, the strongest fighting force in the known range was far inferior to Palace Master Ji.
Jiang Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief and stopped thinking about it. He began to cultivate the Samadhi True Fire.
It was a sunny day in the endless ocean.
Roar—
A dragon’s roar exploded, startling the human citizens on the ocean archipelago. Everyone looked up and saw an azure dragon swimming in the sky. Its body was ten thousand feet long and its four claws were raised from the clouds. It was mighty and domineering.
Countless people were stunned by this scene. Even the demon beasts in the ocean surfaced and looked at the sky in shock.
Behind the azure dragon, there was also a black dragon and a red dragon. The three dragons shuttled through the sea of clouds and stretched their bodies to display their divine might to the beings in the ocean.
It was not flood dragons, but true dragons!
This year, the Dragon Palace was created in the endless ocean!
Ao Dong, Ao Xi, and Ao Bei claimed to be the Three Great Dragon Kings. They were a subsidiary force of the Heavenly Court and supervised the sea area of the endless ocean. With the identity of a true dragon and the name of the Heavenly Court, they had gathered a large number of demon soldiers, and their momentum was unstoppable.
In less than five years, the name of the Dragon Palace spread throughout the entire endless ocean. All the human dynasties were also aware of this.
Fortunately, the Dragon Palace did not intend to harm them. What the Dragon Palace wanted to do was to maintain order in the ocean and reduce killing.
The rise of the Dragon Palace had the greatest impact on the Demon Race.
More and more Demon Kings and Demon Venerables sought refuge with the
Dragon Palace. Ever since they defeated the Human Race’s Sacred Dynasty, the Demon Race had not display any soaring momentum, which disappointed the demon experts in the ocean. Now that the Dragon Palace had recruited them, they naturally would not refuse. If they joined the Dragon Palace, they would have the qualification to become a Demon God!
Demon God!
These two words struck the hearts of many demon experts.
The endless ocean was at the extreme south, at the edge of the Great Wilderness.
In a huge stone hall, a group of transformed demon experts had gathered. All of them still retained some of their initial characteristics. Only the Demon
Supreme sitting at the head of the table looked no different from a human. The Demon Supreme wore white clothes, had a head full of white hair, and demonic eyes. He sat at the head of the table without saying a word, but he radiated a great sense of oppression.
“If the momentum of the Dragon Palace is not curbed, the Demon Race will only exist in name!”
“That’s right. Many of my subordinates have joined the Dragon Palace. How detestable.”
“It can’t be helped. The Demon Race is a race that is integrated with many clans. There is no bloodline connection between us. For many demons, they would choose the strong.”
“Alas, how can we restrain it? They have true dragons. How powerful is the Heavenly Court? Just Di Chang, one of the four Great Saint Marshals, is not someone we can deal with. I heard that there are two Heavenly Soldiers that surpass the Martial Emperor Realm. It’s ridiculous.”
“The Dao Ancestor must have come from the outer world. Our fate is not good.”
Listening to the discussion of the Demon Venerables, the Demon Supreme did not say anything, but his eyes were extremely cold.
When he first heard of the Dao Ancestor, the Demon Supreme was still recuperating. At that time, he looked forward to the battle with the Dao Ancestor.
But now…
No matter how confident the Demon Supreme was, he knew that he was not
the Dao Ancestor’s opponent!
He did not expect that such an existence would appear among the humans as soon as he defeated the Sacred Dynasty of the Human Race. But right now, he knew that he had to make a choice.
“I am prepared to make a trip to the Heavenly Court!”
The Demon Supreme spoke, instantly covering up the voices of all the Demon Venerables.
Hearing this, many Demon Venerables revealed joy in their eyes.
In fact, they also wanted to join the Heavenly Court. After all, even the Qiangliang Race and the Devil Race had surrendered to the Heavenly Court. In the face of these two races, they were not strong enough.
The Demon Race was powerful, but that was only in the endless ocean. In the
Great Wilderness, the Demon Race was nothing. There was only one Martial Emperor in their entire race, and that was the Demon Supreme. Such a race had no hope in front of the Heavenly Court.
The Demon Supreme took in their expressions and felt helpless.
He suddenly realized how terrifying time was.
During his years of seclusion, the Heavenly Court had developed so quickly that it was about to drown him.
The Demon Supreme stood up and said, “Hold down your respective forces. When I return, I will prove the strength of the Demon Race to the Heavenly Court!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a gust of demonic wind and swept away.
The Demon Venerables looked at each other and sighed.
They were here to force the Demon Supreme to compromise. Fortunately, the Demon Supreme was not arrogant.
Year 155 of the Dingtian Era.
In the Purple Cloud Palace, Jiang Changsheng was refining pills. He was controlling the Samadhi True Fire, and flames flickered in the palace.
Bai Qi entered the palace and came to the medicinal cauldron. “Master, how do you intend to deal with the Demon Supreme?”
The Demon Supreme had arrived at the South-Heaven Gate and wanted to see Jiang Changsheng. Right now, Guan Tongyou, Venerable Bai, and Ji Wujun were taking turns to challenge the Demon Supreme. It was very lively in front of the South-Heaven Gate.
Guan Tongyou and the other two only wanted to vent their anger and did not ask Taishi Changce and Hei Hou to take action. Di Chang was also watching from the side.
The grievances between the Human Race and the Demon Race were hard to resolve, especially between the former members of the Sacred Dynasty and the Demon Supreme.
“I need him to prove himself.”
Jiang Changsheng answered calmly. At this time, he felt vexed.
The Samadhi True Fire was really hard to control. Even compared to his other Divine Powers, it was difficult to control.
The main reason was that the Samadhi True Fire was being used to concoct pills. If it was a battle, he could use the Samadhi True Fire without any reservations. However, concocting pills was not that simple. The control of the fire was extremely important. The more complicated the medicinal pill, the more important it was. The temperature of the fire at each stage of the concoction process had to change.
“How can he prove himself? Defeat Di Chang?”
Bai Qi asked curiously. As a demon beast, she naturally did not have much of an aversion to the Demon Supreme. When she saw the Demon Supreme bravely coming alone and being besieged, she admired him instead.
Not everyone had such courage.. After all, the result of his arrival might be death!
