Four Aspects Power

Chu Jiang was quite satisfied with the heavenly materials and earthly treasures before him.

It wasn't just the Gongsun Family sending him benefits; the other troublemakers he'd captured had also contacted their acquaintances to send him good things.

While they weren't as generous as the Gongsun Family, there were many of them. A little from each person added up to a considerable sum. For those who didn't have heavenly materials and earthly treasures, they simply sent silver.

He now had a full three thousand taels of silver on him.

He had to admit, these martial artists were truly rich.

This was also why Chu Jiang hadn't killed them directly. The Wind-Thunder Vajra Body he was cultivating now consumed an enormous amount of resources. If he relied solely on the Lifespan of Demons, cultivating it to completion, perfection, and even the ultimate realm would be an astronomical figure.

Chu Jiang took all the heavenly materials and earthly treasures he had received into his secret chamber and began to cultivate.

Current Martial Arts.

[Demon Lifespan: Eight hundred ninety-eight years]

[Self Lifespan: Ninety years]

[Year 1, you began cultivating the Wind-Thunder Vajra Body. You consumed five second-grade True Essence Pills, increasing your cultivation speed and opening thirty-five acupoints.]

[Year 2, you consumed a Flame Fruit. Acupoints within your body continuously opened, and the fire attribute power of the Wind-Thunder Vajra Body strengthened, opening forty-eight acupoints.]

[Year 3, you consumed a hundred-year-old Purple Cloud Ginseng. A majestic medicinal power flowed through your body.]

[Year 5, you completely refined the residual medicinal power, opening sixty-eight acupoints.]

[Year 7, you consecutively consumed some low-grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, slightly increasing your cultivation speed.]

[Year 10, you opened seventy-two acupoints within your body, achieving perfection.]

[Year 11, the first part of the Wind-Thunder Vajra Body reached great accomplishment.]

[Year 12, your physical body contained the power of wind, thunder, and fire. Your realm broke through to the Vajra Realm Late Stage.]

[Year 15, you continued to press on, consuming a Deep Sea Mermaid Pearl. A majestic energy instantly swept through your entire body, and you began to refine it desperately.]

[Year 21, you opened one hundred and twenty-eight acupoints within your body. The energy of the Deep Sea Mermaid Pearl was exhausted.]

[Year 48, due to the lack of support from heavenly materials and earthly treasures, your cultivation speed greatly decreased. It took twenty years to open just two acupoints.]

[Year 52, you began a long journey of arduous cultivation, absorbing the energy of heaven and earth daily to temper your physical body, with slow progress.]

[Year 450, you opened one hundred and eighty acupoints within your body. A great circulation formed within you, and the first part of the Wind-Thunder Vajra Body reached perfection.]

[Unlocked: Four Aspects Power of Wind Riding, Lightning Control, Heart Fire, and Indestructible Vajra.]

Wind Riding: You can travel by wind, gaining the ability of brief flight.

Lightning Control: You can refine the residual lightning power in heaven and earth, controlling low-level lightning fields and turning them to your use.

Heart Fire: You can plant Heart Fire in an enemy's heart, controlling their life and death.

Indestructible Vajra: You can be immune to most attacks. No one in the Vajra Realm can break your defense, and you can briefly resist attacks from the Martial Grandmaster Realm.

[Year 452, your physical body reached perfection, entering a new realm and stepping into the Vajra Realm Peak.]

[Demon Lifespan: Five hundred thirty-six years]

[Self Lifespan: Ninety years]

Chu Jiang opened his eyes. His gaze became as sharp as electricity, as if it could penetrate everything it fell upon.

With every movement, the three aspects of wind, thunder, and fire swirled around him, emanating a powerful aura that inspired fear.

He arrived outside the county town.

He moved instantly, and the next moment he was dozens of meters away, his afterimage barely visible. Each step was accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder.

When attacking, his fist wind was like thunder, carrying burning flames. Wherever it went, it turned into a domain of thunder and fire. More than a dozen large trees were incinerated, and a giant rock weighing several thousand pounds was shattered with a single palm.

He lightly tapped the ground with his toes, and his body soared into the air, like a divine envoy of thunder and fire, flying through the sky as if walking on solid ground.

After landing, Chu Jiang's heart churned like turbulent waves, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

He had expected the Wind-Thunder Vajra Body to be powerful upon reaching perfection, but he hadn't expected it to be this powerful.

These Four Aspects Powers were all divine skills.

Brief flight was an ability only Martial Grandmasters possessed.

Refining lightning power was something even Grandmasters would approach with extreme caution.

The most surprising was the Heart Fire, truly a miraculous skill for controlling people's minds.

Indestructible Vajra was the basic foundation of this martial art, so it wasn't unexpected.

This was likely due to some peculiar change that occurred during the deduction of the Wind-Thunder Vajra Body, combined with the integration of the Golden Sun Art, causing a strange transformation.

His current strength could be described without exaggeration as:

The strongest person below Grandmaster.

His power had advanced too quickly; those his age couldn't possibly keep up.

"Sigh, is this the trouble of being too strong? So satisfying..."

Chu Jiang took a step, his figure vanishing instantly as he returned to Baishi County.

The next day, a group of people wearing bamboo hats arrived at the location.

"Such powerful residual energy!"

"I'm no match for him."

The leader in the bamboo hat said in a deep voice.

"Boss, you're already at Vajra Realm Peak, and you're still not his match?" the remaining people in bamboo hats asked.

"Could it be a senior from the Martial Grandmaster Realm passing by and just feeling a bit antsy..."

Captain Qin was a renowned powerhouse in the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Bureau, ranking among the top three of all captains. He had killed countless Demons.

Captains of the same realm couldn't last three moves against him, yet he was now sighing like this.

This shocked his subordinates.

Someone even Captain Qin couldn't compare to could only be someone in the Martial Grandmaster Realm.

"It's hard to say!"

Captain Qin had met many Martial Grandmaster Realm powerhouses. While the scene before him was quite terrifying, it was still a little short of a true Martial Grandmaster.

"It seems this mission won't be simple."

The group of Demon Suppressing Guards didn't linger and quickly left the area.

However, the Demon Suppressing Guards were not the only ones who witnessed this scene.

Myriad Flower Sword Sect, Huangji Sect, Hundred Flowers Sect, Sword King Sect...

As the final battle between the first and eleventh ranked on the Human Ranking drew closer, more and more people were heading to Baishi County.

Such immense destructive power could not be hidden, even if they tried.

Coupled with the deliberate spread of information, the news that a Martial Grandmaster Realm senior had arrived in Baishi County spread like wildfire, instantly igniting public opinion.

This threw everything into chaos.

Originally, the Human Ranking competition only attracted younger disciples to watch. Now, with a top-tier expert like a Martial Grandmaster Realm powerhouse appearing, Elders from some sects, and even sect leaders, began to arrive one after another.

Hoping to catch a glimpse of a Martial Grandmaster Realm powerhouse's demeanor.

Baishi County welcomed a level of prosperity not seen in a century, or even several centuries.

Inns and restaurants were basically fully booked.

"Brother Chu, your Baishi County is getting livelier and livelier. It's even alarmed a Grandmaster-level expert; the outside world is going crazy with rumors," Mad Saber said heartily.

"Yes, the commotion this time is truly significant. In all my years since I debuted, this is the first time I've seen such a grand scene,"

Bewitching Heart Demoness added.

Chu Jiang's expression turned strange upon hearing their words. He wondered what their reaction would be if they knew he was the mysterious Grandmaster they were talking about.

But now was not the time to reveal his strength. If the news got out, the guy ranked first on the Human Ranking might not dare to come, which would be a huge loss.

He absolutely had to get his hands on that bottle of Jade Nectar, which could improve martial arts aptitude.

"Such a senior is naturally beyond our speculation. Perhaps they were just passing through Baishi County and have already left," Chu Jiang said with an expression of reverence. He continued, "However, if one had the chance to befriend such a figure, it would truly be a blessing for three lifetimes!"

First, I'll play the actor, then I'll be the god.
