Jiang Liu had no idea how much the two elders had thought after he left. He then made his way to the Ascension Tower.
As for the questions from the Haotian Sect, he had long since forgotten about them; that was the business of the Exotic Weapon Valley. What did it have to do with Jiang Liu? He would say the same thing to anyone who asked him, Jiang Liu perfectly justified.
Jiang Liu leaped directly to the top floor of the Ascension Tower and saw that Murong Yin was already there. Jiang Liu did not go in to disturb her, but went straight to Murong Aotian's secret chamber.
As soon as Jiang Liu approached, Murong Aotian opened the door to the secret chamber and waited for Jiang Liu.
"Grandpa, what brings you so much free time?" Jiang Liu said with a smile.
"Hey kid, what brings you here today?" Murong Aotian asked Jiang Liu.
"I'm here to have a chat with you. I'd like to know something about the Five Poisons Sect."
"The Five Poisons Sect? Could it be you?" Murong Aotian asked doubtfully.
Jiang Liu nodded, walked into the secret room, and then casually closed the door behind him.
Jiang Liu casually sat down in the reception area and started making tea.
Murong Aotian frowned as he looked at Jiang Liu and said, "You want to make trouble for the Five Poisons Sect?"
Jiang Liu brewed the tea, handed a cup to Murong Aotian, picked up his own cup, took a sip, and said, "It's not that I want to mess with the Five Poisons Sect, it's that Exotic Weapon Valley wants to mess with the Five Poisons Sect."
"Exotic Weapon Valley? You've got Qin Bailian under your control?" Murong Aotian asked Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu nodded and then recounted what had happened in the mountains.
After listening, Murong Aotian nodded and said, "That's good. At least you have a reason to explain yourself, so you won't have to worry about others causing you trouble for no reason."
"The Haotian Sect just summoned me, and I just used the Exotic Weapon Valley as a way to deal with them," Jiang Liu said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Murong Aotian laughed and said, "You little rascal, it's good that you were prepared."
"Alright, old man, let's put this matter aside for now. Have you discovered anything about the Five Poisons Sect?"
"Discovered? They found their lair, does that count?" Murong Aotian said, already prepared, because based on Jiang Liu's style of doing things, Murong Aotian already knew that Jiang Liu was going to take action against the Five Poisons Sect next.
"Oh? That's a pleasant surprise." Jiang Liu looked up at Murong Aotian and said.
"Even if we find their lair, the Five Poisons Sect won't be easy to deal with!" Murong Aotian sighed.
Jiang Liu nodded without saying anything. After all, this was something everyone knew. If the Five Poisons Sect were easy to deal with, it wouldn't have existed for so long.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the Five Poisons Sect may seem small; that's because they are very strict about accepting disciples, and ordinary people are of little use to them.
Not to mention, ordinary people wouldn't join the Five Poisons Sect.
Afterwards, Jiang Liu discussed the Five Poisons Sect with Murong Aotian.
Hopefully, through this old man's extensive knowledge, we can discover the weaknesses in dealing with the Five Poisons Sect.
Unfortunately, all of this was wishful thinking. In the end, Murong Aotian only gave Jiang Liu a cautious piece of advice: think twice before dealing with the Five Poisons Sect. Because if you don't kill the snake, you'll be hurt.
Jiang Liu nodded, indicating that he understood, and then got up to go home. Even as he left, Jiang Liu didn't say when he planned to deal with the Five Poisons Sect.
Murong Aotian watched Jiang Liu's departing figure and sighed. He didn't understand the point of Jiang Liu's ambition to unify Yunzhou. Wouldn't it be better to just live in peace?
However, since Jiang Liu wanted to unify the entire Yunzhou, he supported him. After all, a unified Yunzhou would be more beneficial than harmful to Ascension Tower.
As for whether Jiang Liu could unify the entire Daqian, Murong Aotian hadn't considered that. After all, the Daqian was a very complex place, far more complicated than it appeared on the surface.
Yunzhou is the weakest state in the entire Jianghu of the Great Qian Dynasty. No major forces have ever settled there, and those major forces have never paid much attention to Yunzhou.
That's why Jiang Liu was able to eliminate those forces so easily; it wouldn't have been so easy to do it in another state.
Jiang Liu returned to his home by the mountain and saw Feng Yue cultivating, so he did not disturb her.
Jiang Liu then entered the plaza he usually used for cultivation, sat cross-legged on the plaza, and quickly entered a state of Ming Kong.
Soon, a series of Primal Qi Storm swept around Jiang Liu, containing strands of Spirit Power Particles, which were then separated and poured into his Niwan Palace.
Jiang Liu was practicing the Saintly Sky Art over and over again when suddenly an unusual Essence Particles emerged from the Primal Qi Storm and entered Jiang Liu's dantian along with many other Essence Particles.
Jiang Liu n't notice anything unusual when he first absorbed these strange Essence Particles, but after a few more times, he did.
Because those unusual Essence Particles don't mix with ordinary Essence Particles, if you absorb too much of them, they will form their own Essence Particles, which looks quite abrupt.
With a thought, Jiang Liu conjured a deep blue light screen.
Name: Jiang Liu
Realm: Grandmaster (Grandmaster)
Divine Sense: 3.98 kilometers (Characteristic: Devour)
Alchemy (Minor Success 20/500)
Medical Skills (Minor Success 116/1500)
Cultivation Technique: Annihilation by Thought (Heaven Grade, Peak Rank Completion, 7242/)
Beast Mastery Art (Heaven Grade, Peak Rank Mastery 1106/)
Saintly Sky Art (Saint Grade Beginner 1/) Holy Skill: Saintly Sky Strike
Nebula Art (Saint Grade Lesser Completion 3221/) Saint Skill: Nebula Extinction
So this is the unusual Essence Particles absorbed at the beginning of the Saintly Sky Art. But is it only the Saintly Sky Art that can absorb this special Essence Particles, or are there other conditions that need to be met for it to be absorbed?
Jiang Liu guided the Special Essence Particles out and placed it in his palm. Jiang Liu could feel that the Essence Particles was more powerful than ordinary Essence Particles.
The energy contained within is much stronger and more violent.
Jiang Liu attached the Essence Particles to his fist and punched the ground.
With a muffled "bang!", Jiang Liu looked at the fist-sized crater that had appeared beside him and thought to himself, "The power of these Essence Particles is much greater than that of ordinary Essence Particles, but they are also much harder to control."
Even now, Jiang Liu is still unsure why such unusual Essence Particles appeared.
Only by absorbing more of these Essence Particles and learning more about the situation can we possibly understand what's going on.
Jiang Liu didn't quite understand the specific function of these special Essence Particles. If they were simply more powerful, that would be understandable. But if they had other uses, then further investigation would be needed.
Knowing very little about it at the moment, Jiang Liu put it aside and stopped thinking about it.
Now that I've mastered the Saintly Sky Art, I can use the Saintly Sky Strike.
Jiang Liu's interest was immediately piqued; he wanted to test the difference in power between the Saintly Sky Strike and the Annihilation by Thought.
However, there are no good test subjects at present, and the current environment is not suitable, so Jiang Liu can only suppress his thoughts.
Jiang Liu then thought of the Five Poisons Sect. The Five Poisons Sect was still the most troublesome thing at the moment. In order to pacify Yunzhou, the Five Poisons Sect had to be eradicated.
As for why Yunzhou needed to be pacified, this has a lot to do with the Saintly Sky Art that Jiang Liu cultivated.
