Reborn Medicine King

"Body Refinement Chapter?"    

He had already considered this possibility during their earlier encounter. The foundational part of the Creation Spell of Heaven and Earth consists of nine chapters, of which Jiang Fann had acquired seven. It was believed that without mastering the entire foundational section, one couldn't progress to the subsequent parts, which were few in number.    

Thus, the fact that this man had successfully cultivated the spell indicated he must have mastered a chapter from the foundational section. The two chapters Jiang Fann hadn't obtained were the Body Refinement Chapter and the Divine Power Chapter. The man's physical form exuded the aura of the Divine Spell, and his strength was extraordinary, suggesting he had likely practiced the Body Refinement Chapter. The Divine Power Chapter was a derivative that built upon the Body Refinement Chapter.    

Both Jiang Fann and the man were clearly interested in each other's Divine Spell. Jiang Fann's accurate guess about the type of incomplete scrolls surprised the man. However, he wasn't overly concerned. Despite being at the eighth level of the Reincarnation Realm, the enhancement from the Divine Spell made him a formidable opponent, even against those of higher realms.    

Moreover, they were in the territory of the Celestial Palace, and he could already sense several allies rapidly approaching. He reached out to grab Jiang Fann, but his hand met only air as Jiang Fann's form vanished mysteriously, reappearing several yards away.    

This time, he didn't rush to pursue. Jiang Fann's speed was beyond his ability to match, so he decided to wait for his reinforcements to arrive.    

He curiously sized up Jiang Fann, his gaze full of admiration.    

"At the third level of the Mortal Separating Stage, you possess such combat strength. Your physical body is comparable to that of an eighth-level Body Training Cultivator, even surpassing some of them. It's hard to imagine how this is possible. Could there be other techniques for body refinement in the Divine Spell that I don't know about?"    

Jiang Fann was aware that a master was approaching, but he remained untroubled. He was waiting for them to appear, hoping to buy as much time as possible for Xian Hu.    

He responded, "We have no past grievances or recent animosity, so there's really no need for a life-and-death struggle."    

"That may be true, but you should understand the principle that possessing a treasure invites trouble. We're all smart people here. If you hand over the Chapter of Body Arts to me, I'll leave you alone. How about that?"    

Before Jiang Fann could reply, an older voice echoed from a distance, tinged with displeasure.    

"Zhao Lei, you don't plan on backing out now, do you? We agreed on this earlier. Besides, the treasures this kid carries aren't just limited to the Chapter of Body Arts. Since he's come to us, there's no need to worry about appearances. Take him down, and Myriad Clouds Mountain will fall without a fight."    

A figure swiftly appeared—it was Zhang Qianren's master, the Venerable Hanxing. He unleashed his aura, locking onto Jiang Fann, causing the surrounding temperature to drop noticeably.    

Jiang Fann noticed a few stars above, shimmering like ice crystals in an eerie display, clearly the work of the newcomer. This person was a top-tier expert, and their strength was evident.    

Jiang Fann stood his ground, observing the newcomer without saying much or turning away, maintaining his calm demeanor. Soon, three more figures appeared. One of them exuded an aura similar to the Venerable Star, while the other two were on par with Zhao Lei. Suddenly, Jiang Fann found himself facing five formidable opponents.    

Among them were two top-tier experts, another as strong as Zhao Lei, and two others whose identities were unknown but dressed similarly to the Venerable Star, suggesting they were from the same faction. Judging by the reaction of the three newcomers, they clearly didn't know who Jiang Fann was. However, his level of power surprised them, as the force released during the recent clash was far beyond what a Mortal Separating Stage cultivator could produce.    

The Venerable Star glared at Jiang Fann with more hostility than Zhao Lei had shown. "Jiang Fann, is it? You've got some nerve causing trouble in our domain!"    

Faced with this individual, Jiang Fann's patience wore thin. The presence of so many experts indeed put pressure on him. With a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, Jiang Fann replied, "Causing trouble? Your group secretly tried to capture my friend, Wan Chengfeng, and recruited experts to attack Myriad Clouds Mountain. Now you accuse me of causing trouble? Isn't that laughable? You're a top-tier expert; why not speak plainly?"    

The Venerable Star was clearly taken aback by Jiang Fann's audacity. Despite not understanding how Jiang Fann could wield such formidable power, the combined force of their group was undeniably intimidating. Few in this realm would dare to disregard them.    

Jiang Fann didn't make a move immediately; he was waiting for someone, and he needed to buy more time for Xian Hu.    

The Venerable Star spoke coldly, "Since you're here, there's no need to leave. Let's settle this right now." He showed no sign of distress at having his secret exposed. Instead, he took the initiative, channeling his spiritual strength to connect with the strange stars above.    

The temperature in the surrounding battle zone plummeted. Jiang Fann instantly felt his aura being locked onto. In the darkness, the Venerable Star's power was formidable, his presence seemingly intertwined with the stars.    

The others began to move, flying in different directions to cut off all of Jiang Fann's escape routes. Meanwhile, Zhao Lei hovered in mid-air, not making any further moves, as if waiting for the right moment.    

At that moment, Jiang Fann sensed three presences approaching from the direction of the Celestial Palace. He activated the Devil God Spell, his aura shifting dramatically. A smirk played on his lips as he fixed his gaze on that direction, eager for what was to come.    

At that moment, several experts had already formed a circle, blocking all directions, clearly not intending to give Jiang Fann a chance to leave. Zhang Qianren arrived with Chen Yuan and Jia Yi, landing right next to the Venerable Star.    

When they saw Jiang Fann, they were visibly shocked, clearly not expecting him to appear here. Jia Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of resentment, but he seemed somewhat guilty, avoiding direct eye contact. Chen Yuan, on the other hand, sized up Jiang Fann with a look of anticipation, knowing that Jiang Fann possessed the Chapter of Pill Dao, a treasure among alchemists.    

Zhang Qianren appeared much calmer. Although surprised to see Jiang Fann here, with so many powerful allies by his side, he no longer feared Jiang Fann. In fact, he felt the tables had turned. After all, it was only with the help of many experts that Jiang Fann had once suppressed the reputation of the Heavenly Palace.    

"Didn't expect you to show up here right after your retreat. Times have changed, and you are..."    

Before Zhang Qianren could finish, Jiang Fann interrupted him.    

"You want to take me down, no need for excuses. Isn't it my treasures you're after? In just a few years, you've managed to gather so many experts, quite impressive. But you're right, times have changed."    

As he spoke, Jiang Fann reached into the void, and the Blade of God appeared, radiating the aura of an immortal treasure as Jiang Fann infused it with his spiritual strength, its sharpness unmistakable.    

Jiang Fann's gaze shifted to Chen Yuan, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, sending a shiver down Chen Yuan's spine.    

Jiang Fann spoke, "This scene feels familiar! Once again, you've gathered a group of experts to ambush me! Since you're after the Chapter of Pill Dao, let's settle everything today!"    

Chen Yuan frowned, sensing Jiang Fann's hostility, but he couldn't understand why. Although he was somewhat involved in the scheme against Jiang Fann, they hadn't had much interaction before, so he was puzzled by Jiang Fann's intense animosity.    

A green glow emanated from Jiang Fann, and a soft armor appeared on him, radiating powerful vitality. It was the Longevity Garment he had obtained from the Valley of Three Lives.    

The Venerable Person felt the change in Jiang Fann's aura and, seeing the two immortal treasures, was not intimidated but rather excited. The more treasures Jiang Fann had, the more he anticipated the rewards after defeating him.    

Only Zhao Lei, who had just clashed with Jiang Fann, frowned slightly, sensing something amiss. With the immortal treasures enhancing him, Jiang Fann's combat strength was bound to increase. His appearance here was likely bolstered by the confidence these treasures provided.    

At that moment, the stars above shimmered, transforming into a beam of light that streaked down from the sky like a meteor, aiming directly at Jiang Fann's head.    

A silent beam of light, devoid of any grandeur, shot toward Jiang Fann. He was ready. With a swift swing of his blade, the light split like a meteor, instantly dividing in two.    

The beams crashed into the ground on either side of Jiang Fann, followed by a series of explosions that shook the earth, showcasing their immense power. Yet, Jiang Fann remained calm, a composure that left the onlookers in disbelief. His strength seemed to reach their level, even though he was only at the Mortal Separating Stage.    

Zhang Qianren's eyes widened. Despite his vast experience, he couldn't believe what he was witnessing. "How is this possible?"    

Before he could finish, a red glow enveloped Jiang Fann, and suddenly, everyone felt as if they were in a sea of fire—a red domain that Jiang Fann had unleashed.    

His divine blood fully activated, Jiang Fann wasn't holding back this time. Facing these top-tier opponents, he was ready to give it his all, abandoning any plans to merely test the waters.    

The aura he emitted continued to rise. Empowered by the divine blood, his blade shimmered with a red glow, its energy surging.    

Pointing his long sword toward the Venerable Cold Star, Jiang Fann grinned wickedly. "You think I'm easy to bully? Well, let's see how you like playing with me!"    

After speaking, he glanced at the cultivators on either side. "You can leave now. This is between me and the Celestial Palace. It's none of your business. If you ever trouble Myriad Clouds Mountain again, I won't let it slide."    

The cultivators frowned at his words, but Jiang Fann ignored their reactions. Instead, he fixed his gaze on Chen Yuan, standing next to the Venerable Person, his eyes filled with intense hostility.    

Surrounded as he was, Jiang Fann was flooded with memories. Though the timeline had shifted, the main players were still present—Jia Yi and Chen Yuan.    

Finally, Jiang Fann's eyes landed coldly on Zhang Qianren. "No one can save you today!"
