Reborn Medicine King

The Martial God Token remarked, "It's not that simple. The master's ultimate path requires an incredible amount of spiritual strength. The higher his cultivation, the more energy it will consume. If he relies solely on hard work, it might take many years."    

The God-Slaying Blade chuckled, "That's not a problem. As long as there are no bottlenecks, with the master's strength and our support, he can train and compete outside, saving a lot of time."    

These immortal treasures were clearly excited. After all, Jiang Fann's strength meant their strength, too. They were eager to travel with him and gain more experience, hoping to advance further in the future.    

However, seeing their excitement, Jiang Fann decided to bring them back to reality. "You're celebrating too soon."    

The group fell silent, puzzled by Jiang Fann's words.    

Jiang Fann explained, "The foundation for cultivating the Heavenly King Chapter is the complete mastery of the basic Creation Spell of Heaven and Earth. I currently have only seven of the nine chapters, with two remaining fragments missing. Without them, I can't proceed with the Heavenly King Chapter..."    

With that, the group had nothing more to say, and Jiang Fann turned his attention to Tao Zhen.    

"Master, Wan Chengfeng has been taking our Heaven Pavilion disciples out for training over the past two years. Although they often get injured, they've been improving rapidly, and we trust him. But just a few minutes ago, one of the disciples crushed a distress talisman. Something might be wrong on their end. Should we send Lord Xiao Mo to check it out? Neither Wan Chengfeng nor our other cultivators can handle it right now..."    

Jiang Fann said, "Since things are unstable, it's better for Xiao Mo to stay at Myriad Clouds Mountain. I'll go myself. Anywhere Wan Chengfeng can go, I can too. Just give me their location, and I'll head out."    

Tao Zhen didn't say much. He quickly found a map, marked the current location of Wan Chengfeng and his group, and showed Jiang Fann the fastest way to get there. He also clearly marked the positions of the teleportation arrays, indicating he had prepared everything in advance.    

Jiang Fann looked at the map in his hand, a bit surprised. This new territory was unfamiliar to him. The original area he knew now occupied only a small part of the map, and the land had expanded several times over.    

Without lingering, he started heading towards the teleportation array, studying the map and absorbing the changes of the past decade. Before he could leave the mountain, Xiao Mo blocked his path.    

"Master, where are you going?"    

Jiang Fann didn't hide anything. "There seems to be a problem with Wan Chengfeng's group. I'm going to check it out."    

"I'm going with you. I've been at Myriad Clouds Mountain for ten years."    

Jiang Fann shook his head decisively. "Myriad Clouds Mountain is my stronghold. If something happens here and you're not around to handle it, how can I be at ease? Stay here and hold down the fort. I'll manage on my own."    

Xiao Mo understood what Jiang Fann meant. Though reluctant, she didn't insist. However, she added, "Let the old dragon go with you. If you need help along the way, you can rely on it."    

Before Jiang Fann could respond, Xiao Mo disappeared, only to reappear moments later with a groggy old dragon in tow. The dragon perked up noticeably upon seeing Jiang Fann.    

"You... you're back!"    

Clearly, the dragon had been napping and hadn't realized Jiang Fann had returned. This was because Jiang Fann had been suppressing his presence, making it hard for the dragon to sense him.    

"Come with me for a bit. I can't believe it's been a whole decade, and your abilities haven't improved at all. Seems like you've been slacking off."    

The old dragon looked a bit embarrassed. "I'm still in recovery. The previous form of this dragon was too weak, limiting me. Once I'm fully recovered, my abilities will increase significantly. I have the bloodline of a holy beast, which is quite different from you humans."    

Floating beside Jiang Fann, the dragon's aura was still strong. Jiang Fann left Xiao Mo behind and took the old dragon to the teleportation array. He first released his spiritual strength to retrieve Xiao Ai and Lin Zhan from the formation before leaving Myriad Clouds Mountain.    

In the past ten years, the old dragon hadn't ventured outside Myriad Clouds Mountain for training. As a holy beast, he couldn't break through his current limits, and going out might attract unwanted attention. Even if no one tried to tame him, they might want some of his dragon blood, which is a valuable material. So, it was better to stay at Myriad Clouds Mountain, where he could help if anything happened.    

Over the past decade, Xiao Ai and Lin Zhan have eagerly awaited Jiang Fann's awakening from his training. They believe that only then can they venture out with him, which is their sole opportunity for growth. This time, their anticipation is palpable.    

Jiang Fann, holding a map, traveled with the old dragon to the teleportation arrays marked on it. During their journey, he occasionally took out Wan Chengfeng's Spirit Attached Jade. However, it couldn't pinpoint Wan Chengfeng's location, suggesting he might be in a restricted area or a secret realm.    

Currently, they were not within the boundaries of the Tianyao Wilderness but in a region to the northeast, previously known as Tianxing Wilderness. This area once resembled the Nine Wildernesses before they merged.    

On the road, the old dragon shared some changes that had occurred in the Nine Wildernesses over the past ten years. Since he often stayed at Myriad Clouds Mountain, he frequently assisted Tao Zhen and offered advice. Tao Zhen would also consult him with intelligence from the outside world, giving the old dragon a broader understanding than Jiang Fann.    

It wasn't surprising to Jiang Fann that there were hidden masters in the Nine Wildernesses. He had trained there, exploring ancient ruins and forbidden zones. The original owners of Xiao Yu and others were significant figures, capable of crafting extraordinary treasures. However, he still didn't know why the Nine Wildernesses had been downgraded in the first place.    

At this point in time, there are certainly people in the Nine Realms who know that part of history, especially since many experts have gradually come into the open. According to the old dragon, there are currently no practitioners at the Celestial level in the Nine Realms. The strongest have reached the peak of the Reincarnation level, earning great renown and becoming pillars of their respective powerful families.    

In the Star Wilderness they were heading to, there was also such a master. However, this person was elusive, rarely appearing in public, and had long stepped down from a high position. His sect was maintained by a few disciples. The place they were going to required the use of this sect’s teleportation array, but this posed no issue in the Nine Realms, as long as the appropriate payment was made.    

Upon arriving at the sect, Jiang Fann immediately sensed the dense spiritual energy surrounding them. A powerful formation enveloped the area, continuously gathering spiritual energy from all directions. The size and quality of the formation were impressive, clearly crafted by a master.    

Although this was just the outskirts of the sect, the uniqueness of the area was still palpable. However, the practitioner managing the formation urged the two to leave quickly.    

“Don’t linger in the sect. Leave the spiritual stones and you can go now.”    

Jiang Fann wasn’t there to cause trouble. He used his spiritual strength to send the stones over to the practitioner and, along with the old dragon, headed towards the sect’s gate, which was the only break in the formation.    

As he traveled, he observed some of the disciples within the sect. Surprisingly, many were at the Dao Understanding Stage and appeared quite young—such talent was rare a decade ago. However, the disciples were all busy with their own tasks, paying no attention to the passing cultivators, fully focused on their duties.    

Jiang Fann didn't disturb them. He had already spent half a day on the road and needed to hurry to support Wan Chengfeng, as the situation there was still unclear. Nonetheless, Jiang Fann had great confidence in Wan Chengfeng's combat abilities. Even if placed in the highest heavens against stronger cultivators, Wan Chengfeng could still hold his own. Given the current state of the Nine Desolations, it shouldn't be life-threatening for him.    

After flying for about an hour, they arrived at the location marked on the map where the Heaven Pavilion disciples were supposed to be. Jiang Fann realized it was an entrance to a secret realm, surrounded by many cultivators from various places, including some elders. Most who could enter the secret realm were of a certain age, though the restriction wasn't too severe—only the older generation seemed unable to enter.    

Jiang Fann noticed a few middle-aged individuals, cultivators at the peak of the Mortal Separating Stage, entering together. These people were much older than Wan Chengfeng's actual age. As for Wan Chengfeng, he was indeed inside the secret realm, which explained why Jiang Fann's Spirit Attached Jade couldn't sense his presence.    

Just then, a figure quickly approached and stopped right in front of Jiang Fann, looking completely astonished.    

The young man appeared a bit disheveled, with some injuries that had clearly been treated.    

"Disciple Wu Yang, at your service, Master, and greetings to the esteemed Golden Dragon!"    

The young man clearly recognized Jiang Fann.    

Jiang Fann sized him up. He looked to be in his twenties, having reached the peak of the Dao Understanding Stage, and was on the verge of stepping into the Mortal Separating Stage. His talent was quite impressive, considering he was a disciple of the Nine Desolations, not one of those with ancient bloodlines.    

"Was it you who called for help? You were training with Wan Chengfeng, right? Where is he?"    

The young man replied seriously, "Master, Teacher Wan and the other senior brothers are trapped in the secret realm. Should we wait for more help? There are a lot of them. Teacher Wan could probably break through on his own, but the others would be left behind. He carved out a path for me to seek assistance."    

This young man, Wu Yang, was calm as he watched Jiang Fann, waiting for his decision.    

Jiang Fann smiled, "Then what are we waiting for? Lead the way. I should be able to handle it."    

With that, he retracted the old dragon back into himself, as it likely couldn't enter the secret realm directly. This would save some time.    

Wu Yang, being young, had never seen Jiang Fann in action. But within the Heaven Pavilion, this mysterious master was legendary, rumored to be capable of anything, with no problem he couldn't solve.    

Having explained the situation, Wu Yang trusted Jiang Fann's decision to proceed, confident he could resolve the issue. What surprised him most was the disappearance of the Golden Dragon of Myriad Clouds Mountain by Jiang Fann's side, indicating their close relationship. The guardian Golden Dragon of Myriad Clouds Mountain was actually Jiang Fann's companion.
