Unfortunately, Gu Xie ignored him, tearing open the space and unleashing her bone magic to pull Chen Xing into the void. The cultivators at the reincarnation level couldn't fight here without causing a spatial collapse, but the starry sea remained unaffected.
Witnessing this, the big black dog was shocked. "How did she break through to the Celestial Realm so quickly? What have you all been up to these past ten years to change so drastically?"
Jiang Fann replied, "We got lucky and found some opportunities. Don't worry, once I take these last few treasures, I'll help you all get out."
The big black dog said, "We can't leave because if we touch the barrier, that guy will sense us, and he'll give us trouble when he returns. But now that your people are keeping him busy, we can just walk out. Your backup should be able to handle Chen Xing, right? He's an old hand from the Thunder Sect and has been at the Celestial Realm for a long time."
As he spoke, he led Fang Xiang out of the courtyard.
While dismantling the formation, Jiang Fann explained, "Gu Xie's bloodline comes from the higher world of the Eternal Realm. Even if she's a bit weaker in a minor stage, her combat power is definitely above his. Plus, she has two immortal treasures, which are more than enough to crush the opponent."
The defensive treasure Jiang Fann got from the Venerable Person of Cold Star was given to Gu Xie. He had the Eternal Treasure Robe, so an extra defensive treasure wouldn't make much difference. Besides, with the body refinement technique he obtained, his physical strength would further improve, so he wasn't worried about defense.
Fang Xiang said earnestly, "I can't believe it's been ten years since we last met. It seems like you've been through a lot. Why didn't Brother Wan come with you?"
"Wan Chengfeng is waiting for me at the foot of the mountain. I wasn't sure about the situation here. If I had known that guy Chen Xing would leave early, I would have brought him along."
As they spoke, another batch of resources appeared. Jiang Fann was thrilled because the materials were of exceptionally high quality.
"No wonder these resources were demanded from various kingdoms; the quality is outstanding. I can't leave any of it behind."
A few minutes later, the air was torn open, and Gu Xie's figure emerged, walking straight to Jiang Fann with a look of regret.
"I almost caught him, but he got away."
Jiang Fann replied, "It's okay. After all, he's a cultivator at the Celestial level; he's not easy to catch. We came here to rescue people, and we've succeeded in getting them out."
While breaking the formation, he asked Fang Xiang, "What are your plans now? I might need to retreat for a while, and I won't be able to help you then. Your current status is quite unique, and the kingdoms are affected by it. You should find a reliable expert for protection. At the very least, don't let Chen Xing succeed again."
Fang Xiang glanced at the big black dog beside him. Not familiar with the cultivators of the Dry Thunder Sect, he had to rely on the big black dog to make a choice.
Jiang Fann continued, "You could also wait with Wan Chengfeng and the others for me to join you in venturing to a higher world, escaping from here."
Hearing Jiang Fann's suggestion, the big black dog immediately responded, "Fang Xiang is the Holy Son of the Thunder Sect. His destiny lies in the higher realms, so he can't just wander around with you. This time, all you need to do is get us to the Central Kingdom and hand us over to Ye Changtian. He'll take us to someone we can trust."
Jiang Fann replied, "You went with Ye Changtian last time too, right? I didn't expect you'd choose to trust him again."
The big black dog said, "Last time, many things were beyond our control. This time is different. I trust him."
Because of Gu Xie's presence, Chen Xing didn't dare to show up again. Jiang Fann opened all the treasure spaces and took all the resources. Fang Xiang didn't need any, as he wouldn't lack resources in the future, especially with Jiang Fann specifically coming to help him out.
As they left the mountain's barrier with Fang Xiang, the big black dog ran far ahead in excitement before returning. Clearly, the past ten years had been frustrating for it.
Meeting up with Wan Chengfeng, Fang Xiang was also very happy to see him. After a brief chat, Wan Chengfeng was surprised at the big black dog's insistence on taking Fang Xiang to find Ye Changtian.
But since it was their choice, Jiang Fann and Wan Chengfeng didn't push the matter. After all, everyone has their own path, just like the choices they made last time. Jiang Fann and the others would help if they could.
When the group appeared in the capital of the Zhongtian Dynasty, it caused quite a stir. After all, Fang Xiang had been missing for a long time, and so had Jiang Fann and Wan Chengfeng.
Night Sky was thrilled to see Fang Xiang and hosted a banquet at the palace for Jiang Fann and the others. He promised Jiang Fann that he would ensure Fang Xiang's safety from now on, acknowledging that everything happened too fast last time, leaving no time to prepare.
Jiang Fann and his companions stayed in the capital for just one night. Early the next morning, they bid farewell to Fang Xiang and left.
As they walked down the street, Wan Chengfeng asked Jiang Fann about his next plan.
Jiang Fann was straightforward: "The Inner Valley!"
Wan Chengfeng was taken aback: "You're not joking, are you?"
Jiang Fann replied, "You should go back and take a look. You've improved so much on this trip; the old man should be pleased. Let Xian Hu stay in the valley for a while; his aura is perfect for training there."
Wan Chengfeng frowned and asked, "What are you going to do in the Inner Valley? There's nothing worth another visit, right? Or are you after that reincarnation realm corpse?"
Jiang Fann shook his head, "I have no interest in that. I need the space connected by that formation. I plan to go there for secluded training. You don't need to worry about it. I'll reappear once I've accomplished everything."
Hearing this, Wan Chengfeng said, "Since that's your goal, I have nothing more to say. Let's go; there's no need to waste time on the road."
When Jiang Fann first discovered the unique space within the valley, he found it brimming with an overwhelming energy. Although this energy was quite special and couldn't be absorbed by just anyone, for Jiang Fann, who possessed the power of chaos, it was no different from regular energy and he could absorb it completely.
At that moment, he needed this powerful energy to rebuild his strength, making it his destination. Upon reaching the valley, Wan Chengfeng took the valley to meet his kin, while Jiang Fann quietly slipped in, confidently heading straight for the inner valley entrance.
Having been there once before, Jiang Fann remembered it well. Last time, he had entered by assimilating the energy of the formation, and this time he managed to enter alone with ease. He followed the same path they had taken before, heading directly to the special area. He recalled that the area was guarded by a demonic beast—a giant boar that now posed no threat to him. Jiang Fann easily bypassed it without being noticed.
Arriving at the area filled with formations, Jiang Fann summoned Gu Xie and approached the nearest formation. He quickly located the teleportation array, and they were both pulled into the energy-filled, peculiar space.
Jiang Fann turned to Gu Xie and said, "I'm going to disperse my cultivation and will enter a weakened state. You'll need to protect me. Anyone causing trouble—take them out."
Gu Xie nodded. "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one can affect the master."
Jiang Fann didn't waste any time. He adjusted his state and pulled out a few pills he had prepared earlier, then began to disperse his cultivation. In no time, his aura began to decline, passing through the Mortal Separating Stage, the Dao Understanding Stage, and the Divine Dharma Stage...
As Jiang Fann's aura weakened, Gu Xie focused intently. While dispersing his cultivation, Jiang Fann retrieved the newly acquired Body Training and Divine Power chapters and started reading. Once his cultivation was fully dispersed, he planned to begin training immediately.
To his delight, the Pill Dao chapter significantly eased the difficulty of mastering other techniques. Once his cultivation was fully dispersed, Jiang Fann immediately began training. Given his current mindset and abilities, getting started wasn't difficult. With the power boost from the Pill Dao chapter, a golden glow gradually enveloped his body, and he felt his muscles growing stronger.
It only took half an hour to master the Body Training chapter, and the same for the Divine Power chapter. Perhaps due to the damage Jiang Fann had caused last time, the area had become much safer, or maybe it was Gu Xie's constant aura that kept others at bay.
After mastering the basics, Jiang Fann took a pill to replenish some of his spiritual strength, allowing him to continue advancing in the Body Training stage. With some spiritual strength restored, he could begin using the Chaos Method to alter the attributes of the surrounding spiritual energy, and finally, attempt to absorb it through the Pill Dao chapter.
With immense spiritual strength backing him, Jiang Fann's ability to absorb energy was astonishing. As his level increased, a vortex formed around him, continuously drawing in power, and his aura visibly intensified.
Gu Xie sat quietly nearby, attentively sensing the changes in Jiang Fann's aura.
Life Taking Stage!
Life Changing Stage!
Growing ever stronger!
Jiang Fann eagerly sought out the Heavenly King Chapter, diving into it with intense focus, rapidly advancing his cultivation. The legacy left by the cultivator of the Heavenly Realm contained vast spiritual strength, far surpassing ordinary inheritances. Jiang Fann was progressing swiftly, and it wouldn't be long before he regained his Mortal Separating Stage.
Thus, Jiang Fann had to fully immerse himself in the Heavenly King Chapter. Mastery would allow him to cultivate the Transcendence Chapter, potentially achieving a breakthrough.
The power of the Innate Dao Fruit released into Jiang Fann's mind, plunging him into a state of enlightenment. This unique change caused the words of the Heavenly King Chapter to imprint themselves in his mind, revealing special connections and transformations. This made it easier for Jiang Fann to grasp the peculiarities of the chapter, providing a profound understanding even before he began practicing.
By the third day, Jiang Fann had returned to the Mortal Separating Stage, and after three days of contemplation on the Heavenly King Chapter, he had fully grasped its teachings. He then earnestly began his training.
Jiang Fann continued to enhance his abilities through the ultimate path, and the Heavenly King Chapter significantly boosted his various skills, including physical strength and even the intensity of his spiritual sense. When he practiced the techniques from the Heavenly King Chapter, he entered a unique state, similar to the Devil God Spell, but far more powerful and extraordinary.
