All Martial Arts, Ascend to Transformation Realm

Outside Baishi County.

A middle-aged man in a sword robe was flying through the air.

Such a striking sight shocked everyone, and they all looked up at the sky.

Even before he got close, one could feel the surging Bloodline Power, like a great river.

"Flying through the air, Blood Essence like a river!"

This was a Martial Grandmaster arriving in person.

Many people had never seen a Grandmaster in their entire lives, yet one appeared in this small county town.

Li Haoran ignored the gazes of the crowd and headed straight for the county yamen's prison.

"They're here!"

Inside the prison, Chu Jiang opened his eyes.

Such immense Blood Essence naturally couldn't escape his senses.

"This is a Thousand-Year Fire Ganoderma."

The jade box in Li Haoran's hand floated towards Chu Jiang. The box was forged from the finest mutton-fat jade, indicating that the item within was extraordinary.

Upon opening it, a peculiar medicinal fragrance filled the air.

It was crimson like a flame, with a parasol-shaped appearance and unique patterns.

Legend had it that the Thousand-Year Fire Ganoderma had three miraculous effects, varying for different individuals.

For those severely injured and on the brink of death, it could bring them back to life.

For those nearing the end of their Lifespan, it could extend it by sixty years.

For martial arts practitioners, normal consumption could increase their cultivation by a hundred years.

However, it varied from person to person.

Those with low cultivation could only take a small piece, consuming it in measured doses, or they would explode and die.

"Young friend, have Gu Jian and Gu Hongchen been returned to my Sword King Sect?"

Li Haoran asked calmly.

"Naturally, there's no problem!"

After receiving the treasure, Chu Jiang released the two.

Li Haoran, as if carrying small chicks, held them in his hands and flew towards the outskirts of Baishi County.

"Martial Grandmaster, truly extraordinary."

Chu Jiang thought he was only one step away from the Martial Grandmaster realm, but he was naive.

Li Haoran's Bloodline Power alone was a hundred times his own, truly like a great river.

What kind of concept was that?

His Wind-Thunder Vajra Body was perfected, and his Blood Essence was nearly ten times that of his peers.

Yet, he was still a hundred times behind a Grandmaster.

Fortunately, this time, he had gathered quite a few heavenly treasures and even a thousand-year-old spiritual medicine.

He brought up his status panel.

[Demon Lifespan: 536 years] [Self Lifespan: 90 years]

He had completed one of the three conditions to break through to Grandmaster.

All eight extraordinary meridians and the Twelve Primary Meridians were unblocked.

Chu Jiang placed the Jade Dew Nectar in his hand and entered the panel with his mind.

[Year 1: You consumed Jade Dew Nectar, cleansing your roots and improving your martial arts talent. You finally shed the identity of a martial arts cripple. Though you couldn't compare to prodigies, you were at least stronger than ordinary people.] [Year 2: You began cultivating the Blood Saber Divine Manual and discovered that areas you previously didn't understand were now clear as day. Cultivation felt divinely aided.] [Year 9: You comprehended the eighth stance of the Blood Saber, Seven Absolute Blood Fiends.] [Year 28: You comprehended the final stance of the Blood Saber Divine Manual, Blood Over Nine Heavens, bringing the Blood Saber Divine Manual to completion.] [Year 42: You integrated all nine stances of the Blood Saber Divine Manual and began to comprehend the ultimate profound meaning of the Blood Saber Divine Manual.] [Year 72: You meditated on heaven and earth for decades and, against the trend, comprehended a tenth stance not present in the Blood Saber Divine Manual, Boundless Sea of Blood.] [You comprehended a sliver of saber intent. The ultimate profound meaning of the Blood Saber Divine Manual, amplified by saber intent, doubled its power.]

[Demon Lifespan: 464 years]

"The ultimate profound meaning of the Blood Saber Divine Manual—Boundless Sea of Blood."

Chu Jiang was extremely excited at this moment. The Blood Saber Divine Manual had reached the Profound realm, and his strength had advanced another level.

His entire being seemed to transform into a divine saber.

This saber exuded a heart-palpitating aura, as if it could sever all things in the world.

Most crucially, he had comprehended a wisp of saber intent, bringing him one step closer to the Martial Grandmaster Realm.

Continue.

[Year 1, you began cultivating the Great Strength Divine Palm. You had a flash of inspiration, and your cultivation proceeded exceptionally smoothly.]

[Year 11, the Great Strength Divine Palm reached the Profound realm.]

Chu Jiang's brow twitched. This Jade Dew Nectar was truly effective. Cultivating martial arts now was much easier than before.

If it were in the past, it would have taken at least a few decades for a Vajra martial art to go from perfect to the Profound realm.

Good stuff.

He'd see if he could get more to try in the future.

Chu Jiang didn't stop, preparing to push the Wind-Thunder Vajra Body into the Profound realm in one go.

Chu Jiang opened the sheep fat white jade box, broke off one-fifth of the Thousand-Year Fire Ganoderma, and held it in his hand.

[Year 1, you swallowed a bit of the Thousand-Year Fire Ganoderma. Vast fire-elemental energy flowed through your body, and your meridians were being reshaped.]

[Year 5, this piece of fire ganoderma was almost depleted. You opened three hundred acupoints within your body. Due to the influence of the Thousand-Year Fire Ganoderma, your fire resistance was enhanced.]

[Year 7, you continued to consume the Thousand-Year Fire Ganoderma, and your cultivation efficiency improved.]

[Year 12, you opened three hundred and sixty acupoints within your body. The Wind-Thunder Vajra Body reached the Profound realm, and your physical strength reached its limit.]

[Your abilities in Aerial Travel, Lightning Control, Heart Fire, Indestructible Vajra, and Four Aspects Power were enhanced.]

[Due to your long-term consumption of the Thousand-Year Fire Ganoderma, the Wind-Thunder Vajra Body underwent changes, gaining fire-elemental specialization. Cultivating fire-elemental martial arts became twice as effective.]

[Demon Lifespan: 441 years]

Chu Jiang opened his eyes.

He examined the changes in his physical body. Its strength far surpassed his previous state. True essence filled his major meridians, and fire-elemental energy surged continuously.

Blood Essence kept climbing, crashing violently within his body, almost bursting out.

"Not good!"

Chu Jiang's expression changed. His physical strength was too great; it was about to break free from his soul's control.

Physical body and soul complemented each other.

The physical body was the vessel for the soul, and the soul was the core of the physical body, serving as the controller.

Now, the physical body had exceeded the soul's control and was beginning to riot.

His Blood Essence was in chaos.

"This time, it was a bit too risky. I didn't consider the soul aspect, whether it could withstand the impact of the Wind-Thunder Vajra Body reaching the Profound realm."

Chu Jiang began desperately suppressing it, trying to quell the chaotic Blood Essence, but it was useless.

He gritted his teeth and took out a large bowl, filling it with a whole bowl of precious blood.

Only then did the Bloodline Power slowly calm down.

However, with the Wind-Thunder Vajra Body reaching the Profound realm, its Blood Essence recovery ability was too strong.

In three days, his Blood Essence would be replenished, entering a period of chaos again. Moreover, if this problem wasn't solved, it would become increasingly severe later on.

His soul power was detached from his physical body.

This breakthrough had actually caused him trouble.

"I must go to the Demon Suppression Division as soon as possible to resolve this major issue."

"Before that, I need to make some arrangements in Baishi County."

Chu Jiang's mind began to race. This problem could only be solved by going to the Demon Suppression Division; there was no other way.

Otherwise, his future battles would be problematic.

There were still three months until the Ghost Moon Cave opened. This time should be enough for him to resolve the issue of his physical body's detachment.
