Chapter 24.9

Jiang Huai had already begun absorbing the spirit ring, and the sky was slowly darkening; Jiang Huai's absorption process had yet to conclude.

Gu Yue stayed by Jiang Huai's side, not moving an inch. Meng Shu, not wanting to disturb the young couple, took his granddaughter Meng Yiran and left the area.

Gu Yue looked around, reached out her hand, and said, "Ah Huai, let me give you a hand."

Gu Yue released the pressure of the Spirit Beast Sovereign from her hand, and the terrifying bloodline pressure instantly shattered the soul of the Flowing Slurry Water Curtain that was currently struggling against Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai's furrowed brows relaxed. Suddenly, he felt himself enter a space. Inside the space stood two stone statues: one with hands resting on a sword, possessing sharp, star-like eyes; the other with hands resting on a scepter, wearing purple-black robes, his eyes glowing with a dark purple light.

Jiang Huai took a step forward, rested his chin on his right hand, and said, "There is actually a centimeter of water covering the ground here."

At this moment, the stone statue with its hands on the sword spoke: "Little one, this is not a place you should be yet."

"Old Sword, he is a good seedling to be able to comprehend a sea of spirit in advance. Since both of our god trials are within his sea of spirit, why not descend the trials early?"

The stone statue in the purple-black robes spoke in a majestic voice. Upon hearing this, the stone statue with its hands on the sword replied, "Forget it. Since you, Destruction, value him so much, we should observe him properly. We cannot just hand out the god trials right away."

At this moment, two rays of light drifted from the stone statues onto the water surface. The person in the purple robes held a scepter, while the other, wearing white robes with hair reaching his waist, was a man with his left hand resting on the sword at his waist.

The person in the purple robes introduced himself: "I am the God King of Destruction, one of the enforcers of the God Realm."

The person in the white robes also introduced himself: "I am a Tier 1 God: the Sword God, the ceiling of combat power among Tier 1 Gods in the God Realm."

Hearing this, Jiang Huai cupped his hands and said, "I have met both lords."

The Sword God smiled and said, "Child, I also have the surname Jiang. By blood relation, you are my descendant. I am Jiang Qiyuan, the third-generation Sword God. You should call me Great-Grandfather."

Jiang Huai was somewhat surprised. Jiang Qiyuan, seeing his descendant, couldn't help but call over the previous two generations of Sword Gods.

A man whose body radiated terrifying sword intent tore through the void and arrived. Jiang Qiyuan introduced him: "Child, this is the founder of the Sword God position, Jiang Che."

Jiang Huai cupped his hands and said, "I have met the Ancestor."

Jiang Huai didn't care what he was supposed to call them; calling them all "Ancestor" was the right move.

At this moment, the void tore open in another spot, and another person stepped out. Jiang Qiyuan introduced him again: "Child, this is the second-generation Sword God successor, Jiang Deyuan."

Jiang Huai cupped his hands again and said, "I have met the Ancestor."

Jiang Che nodded, turned to look at the third-generation Sword God, and immediately slapped him.

Jiang Qiyuan was stunned by the slap. Jiang Che scolded angrily, "What kind of pathetic strength is this? Your god position level has even dropped. Come with me to another place; I will teach you a lesson slowly."

Jiang Deyuan patted Jiang Huai's head and said, "Child, you are very good. I didn't expect our family to produce another Sword God."

Jiang Huai scratched his head in confusion. Jiang Deyuan said, "It doesn't matter. You don't need to know about the family affairs yet. I will give you a book."

A book appeared in Jiang Huai's hand, titled: Encyclopedia of Immortal Herbs.

After Jiang Huai cupped his hands in gratitude, he was pulled out of the sea of spirit. Jiang Deyuan smiled and said, "Child, I look forward to our next meeting. I hope that when we meet again, it will be the moment you reach level 60 and undergo the Sword God inheritance."

At the same time, the God King of Destruction asked in confusion, "Did I forget something?"

After Jiang Huai exited the sea of spirit, he opened his eyes. The book had appeared in his arms.

Gu Yue leaned over and asked, "Ah Huai, what is this book?"

Jiang Huai moved her hand away and said, "This book will allow our strength to grow at a rapid pace."

After Jiang Huai, Gu Yue, and Meng Shu said their goodbyes to Meng Yiran, the two began searching for something in the Sunset Forest.

Gu Yue looked at Jiang Huai suspiciously and asked, "What are we looking for?"

Jiang Huai smiled and said, "A good place—a treasure land that gathers both ice and fire elements."

As they spoke, the two entered a valley filled with poisonous mist. Jiang Huai had the physical enhancement from his second spirit skill, the Hamburger, so he was not bothered by the toxic gas. Gu Yue possessed multiple elements, and the fire element on her body was enough to block the surrounding poison.

Soon, the two entered the valley, where extreme cold and extreme heat were erupting.

Jiang Huai felt the change in temperature and knew this was the treasure land they were looking for.

In the shadows, Dugu Bo was confronting Jiang Yi. Dugu Bo did not know why the princess of the Jiang Kingdom had come here, but he dared not be negligent, nor did he dare to strike first.

The domineering aura of the Longyuan Sword was enough to prevent Dugu Bo's poison from interfering with her, and Jiang Yi had once defeated a Title Douluo.

Dugu Bo was an old man and did not dare to let the stalemate last too long. At this moment, Jiang Huai and Gu Yue entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and Dugu Bo immediately sensed that his restrictions had been broken.

Dugu Bo was shocked and shouted, "Damn it!"

Just as he was about to return, he was blocked by a sword aura from Jiang Yi. Dugu Bo stared at her coldly and asked, "What exactly are you trying to do?"

Jiang Yi smiled coldly and said, "Would you be willing to talk after landing?"

Dugu Bo was not in the mood to talk. If someone had entered his treasure land and was destroying his herb garden, he would suffer a huge loss.

Jiang Yi seemed to know Dugu Bo's feelings and smiled, "Senior Dugu Bo, I call you Senior, and I hope you will not harm my younger brother."

Dugu Bo was stunned and asked, "Since when did the Princess have a younger brother?"

Jiang Yi smiled, "Naturally, the brother who was taken out of the Jiang Kingdom long ago. I hope you will not disturb him. Isn't it worth it to trade your herb garden for a chance to save your life? Besides, what if my brother knows how to treat your poison?"

Dugu Bo's pupils constricted as he pointed at Jiang Yi and asked, "How do you know?"

"Because you come here every day to suppress the toxins. My brother definitely knows how to treat you. Don't worry, but you must also satisfy all of my brother's requests. How about it? This is a very good condition, isn't it?"

Dugu Bo began to weigh the pros and cons. If he built a good relationship with the only young male heir of the Jiang Kingdom, wouldn't he have a life-saving talisman? If he later let Yan Yan marry that boy and become the Princess of the Jiang Kingdom, wouldn't the Dugu family flourish?

Dugu Bo waved his hand and said, "Fine! This old man agrees."

Jiang Yi nodded and threw him a token, saying, "Do not expose his identity. My father said that after he finishes participating in the Spirit Master Tournament, we will go pick him up to return home and acknowledge his ancestors."

After speaking, Jiang Yi left. Dugu Bo looked at the Sword Travel Token in his hand and pondered. Suddenly, Dugu Bo thought of Chen Xin of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He seemed to remember Chen Xin mentioning his master's origin before. Could it be!
