Primordial Era: Downloading Saint Cultivation at the Start

Jiang Chen was stunned.

He knew he was already in the early stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal, with forty download slots. Yet, the system was telling him he had reached the limit?

However, when Jiang Chen saw the list of download panels, he understood.

[Tongtian the Saint's Cultivation]!

[Laozi the Saint's Cultivation]!

[Yuanshi the Saint's Cultivation]!

[Immortal Slaying Four Swords]!

[Taiji Diagram]!

He had previously been downloading the Spiritual Treasures and cultivation of the Three Pure Ones. Now, adding the divine abilities, physique, and the Great Formation of the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons from the Twelve Ancestral Magi, the total came to forty-five. Even with forty download slots, it was going to be tight!

As it stood, he was still five short – specifically, the Great Formation of the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons from five of the Ancestral Magi!

Of course, if any of these downloads were completed, or if his strength broke through, more slots would become available for further downloads.

But this was just the beginning. Jiang Chen had also used up all his Merit. Moreover, everything he had downloaded was top-tier. How could it be completed so quickly?

If there were no rare heavenly treasures to offer as sacrifice, even the easiest things to download would take at least several hundred years to complete!

Thinking this, Jiang Chen became troubled.

Rare heavenly treasures again!

At this moment, Jiang Chen not only deeply understood the importance of strength, but his desire for rare heavenly treasures also instantly amplified!

Putting aside Jiang Chen's inner thoughts, while he was secretly downloading items, the Twelve Ancestral Magi were also secretly observing Jiang Chen!

At this time, Kuafu had already told the Twelve Ancestral Magi everything that had happened. Because of this, the Twelve Ancestral Magi were all shocked!

Nine-petal bloom!

Throughout the Primordial Era, across all of history, there had never been anyone with such peerless talent!

If Kuafu were not a Great Witch of the Witch Race, they would have assumed the person was lying!

But even so, after Kuafu's repeated requests, they had come here.

Upon first seeing Jiang Chen, the Twelve Ancestral Magi didn't find anything extraordinary about him. But upon closer inspection, they felt a sense of closeness to Jiang Chen, as if he were family!

This was also normal. After all, Jiang Chen not only bore the aura of the Three Pure Ones but also fused with the Great Witch Physique. In a way, Jiang Chen was now more of a true descendant of Pangu than they were!

Closeness and distance.

Instantly, the Twelve Ancestral Magi's good impression of Jiang Chen rose significantly.

"Kid, are you the one with the nine-petal bloom?"

Despite feeling a sense of closeness to Jiang Chen, Zhu Rong, the Ancestral Magi of Fire, still found it hard to believe.

He and the other eleven Ancestral Magi considered themselves true descendants of Pangu, with top-tier talent in the Primordial Era. Yet, when they proved themselves to be Grand Unity, they only bloomed seven petals. Now, someone claimed a human had bloomed nine petals upon reaching Grand Unity. Wasn't that saying this person's talent was even better than theirs?

This made the arrogant Zhu Rong somewhat disbelieving.

As he spoke doubtfully, he couldn't help but pat Jiang Chen's shoulder, intending to probe his strength.

"The first disciple of the Intercepting Sect, the human Jiang Chen, greets the Twelve Ancestral Magi!"

At this moment, Jiang Chen had just snapped back from his download. Facing Zhu Rong's probing, he cupped his hands in return, neither humble nor arrogant.

It had to be said that the Witch Race's reputation for powerful physiques was well-deserved. Zhu Rong, a peak Quasi-Saint, was even more so. With just a couple of casual pats, Jiang Chen felt a dull ache!

He knew that after downloading Kuafu's cultivation, his physical body was now at the early stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Yet, even so, he still felt the ache. One could imagine how terrifying Zhu Rong's strength was. If it were the previous Jiang Chen, he would likely have collapsed after just one exchange!

While shocked, he also felt endless anticipation, looking forward to the changes the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique would bring him!

"Good kid!"

Jiang Chen's composure clearly impressed Zhu Rong, who couldn't help but pat him a few more times.

Only Zhu Rong knew how much force he had used. Yet, Jiang Chen showed little reaction. This immediately made Zhu Rong realize that his physical cultivation was beyond Grand Unity!

The Witch Race had always respected the strong, and those who cultivated their physical bodies were even more respected!

For a moment, through Zhu Rong's probing, the Twelve Ancestral Magi put away their previous underestimation.

Hiss!

It was hard to say if the Witch Race was simply forthright or just careless. Jiang Chen was already feeling a dull ache, and now Zhu Rong increased his force, causing him to grit his teeth in pain and gasp.

Seeing Jiang Chen's reaction, a hint of amusement flashed in Zhu Rong's eyes. He couldn't help but chuckle, but then he quickly composed himself, realizing he had revealed himself.

At this point, how could Jiang Chen not understand that Zhu Rong had done it intentionally!

But understanding it made him somewhat dumbfounded.

So, Zhu Rong had a hidden mischievous side?

However, suffering in silence was not Jiang Chen's style. After Zhu Rong patted him several more times, he also placed his hand on Zhu Rong's back.

However, his actions could not possibly escape Zhu Rong's notice. The moment Jiang Chen moved, Zhu Rong knew what he was about to do. But he didn't dodge, appearing somewhat dismissive.

In fact, he was already thinking about how he would mock Jiang Chen next!

"Just kidding, a mere early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal's physical cultivation, could it actually injure a peak Quasi-Saint like him?

As expected!

Jiang Chen didn't miss the disdain in Zhu Rong's eyes, but instead of getting angry, he chuckled inwardly.

Then, with a thought, the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls on his wrist suddenly emitted a faint, clear light!

Crack, crack, crack!

"To receive Elder Zhu Rong's praise, I am truly fortunate for three lifetimes!"

He said with exaggerated surprise.

While speaking, he circulated the magical power within his body to control the Sea-Calming Divine Pearls on his wrist, striking Zhu Rong with his early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal physical cultivation!

As a result, an astonishing scene unfolded.

Pfft!

Just as Jiang Chen's palm landed, Zhu Rong, who had been about to mock him, suddenly changed his expression. Not only did he swallow the mocking words back, but he also spat out a mouthful of dark blood!

He, a dignified peak Quasi-Saint, was actually forced to vomit blood by Jiang Chen's palm!

And it didn't stop there. Every time Jiang Chen's palm landed, Zhu Rong would cough violently, streams of blood spraying out like water!

Before long, blood stained Zhu Rong's entire body!

At first glance, he looked as pathetic as could be!

Seeing this, the other Ancestral Magi were dumbfounded!

Even when Jiang Chen made his move, the Twelve Ancestral Magi didn't take it seriously. After all, how could an early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal possibly injure Zhu Rong?

However, they were wrong, and terribly wrong at that!

Not only did Jiang Chen injure Zhu Rong, but he actually made him spit blood with a single palm?!

If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, the Twelve Ancestral Magi would have thought it was an illusion.

It was simply too shocking what was happening before them.

However, upon seeing the string of pearls emitting a faint, clear light on Jiang Chen's wrist, they understood!

A top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!

Everyone's hearts cleared, and they immediately grasped the situation.

Jiang Chen's early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal physical cultivation went without saying. Now, with the addition of a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, coupled with his peerless talent, which had bloomed nine petals since the Primordial Era, his strength far surpassed his current realm, subtly reaching the combat power of a late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

Late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

While it was a pipe dream to attack a peak Quasi-Saint with such power, it was a different story when facing a peak Quasi-Saint who had no defenses!

This was precisely the case with Zhu Rong, who had previously underestimated Jiang Chen.

Moreover, the blood he spat out was just ordinary blood, not his vital essence. While it looked like a serious injury at first glance, it was only superficial. His internal body was completely unharmed, much like a finger bleeding – it could barely even be considered an injury!

Therefore, this created the illusion that Jiang Chen had gravely injured Zhu Rong!

Once they understood this, everyone was no longer as surprised.

"Haha, I never thought you, Zhu Rong, would be bullied like this by a junior. You're truly disgracing us Twelve Ancestral Magi!"

With their irreconcilable animosity, Zhu Rong and Gong Gong had always been at odds. Although he wasn't seriously injured, seeing Zhu Rong lose face, Gong Gong immediately mocked him.

As soon as he spoke, the other Ancestral Magi couldn't help but laugh.

They all knew Zhu Rong had a fiery temper. He used to throw his weight around and lose his temper often, leaving many speechless. Now that he had fallen prey to a junior, how could they not find it amusing?

As for Zhu Rong.

When he was made to bleed by Jiang Chen, Zhu Rong already knew something was amiss, his expression shifting.

Now, hearing his companions' mockery, especially from his old rival Gong Gong, Zhu Rong's face grew even more grim!
