Great Power Crushes All; I Had Reached the Late Origin Core Realm!

As soon as Jiang Shu finished speaking, he scanned Han Zhiqing with his mental energy and confirmed that there were no tracking marks.

He personally piloted the Treasure Ship, pushing Treasure Ship speed to the limit, riding the wind and waves, and bypassing Overturning Sea City.

The killing of the Dao One Sect inner disciple of the Dao Yi Sect in public is a serious matter. Once the news spreads, even a Nirvana Realm True Lord might not be able to sit still and would immediately leave seclusion to pursue and kill him.

If you're still in the Endless Sea Domain by then, it will be difficult to leave.

Jiang Shu understood this perfectly well. Although his Origin Core had condensed sixty-eight divine abilities, in terms of divine abilities, he was in no way inferior to some Rogue Cultivator at the Nirvana Realm True Lord level.

However, the Essence Core Realm and the Nirvana Realm are, after all, a major realm apart.

Especially after experiencing the Nirvana Wind Tribulation, the body and soul of the Nirvana Realm True Lord will undoubtedly reach a higher level, and their immense power will be incomparable to that of Origin Core Realm Master.

When it comes to actual combat, let alone the Nirvana Realm elders of the Dao One Sect.

Even ordinary rogue cultivators are now inferior to Jiang Shu.

"Call out!"

Jiang Shu unleashed his Origin Power to its fullest extent, with all three Holy Embryo rapidly absorbing and releasing energy. It wasn't until three full hours later that he finally put away the Treasure Ship and, together with Han Zhiqing, who had also changed her appearance, sat atop the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile, flying towards the True Martial Sect.

When he first entered the True Martial Sect, he was just a minor Rebirth Realm, a lowly Servant Disciple within the vast True Martial Sect.

But now, he has crossed two major realms, condensed his Origin Core, and possesses unparalleled supernatural powers. This time, when he returns to the sect, he no longer needs to be as cautious as before.

The descendants of Zhou Ming must be taken care of.

The matter of Zhou Yan needs to be resolved.

After everything is done, make a final push towards Nirvana.

Only when he reaches the Nirvana Realm can he return to the Asking Immortal Hall, directly comprehend the Great Dao of Immortality, and directly reach the Ten Thousand Manifestations Realm.

Only when he reaches the Nirvana Realm can he truly set foot in the Star Ruins Realm, protect himself, and have the opportunity to enter those three Secret Land.

The Eternal Tower, the Deep Space Sea, and the Immortal Stairway.

Each of these Secret Land is no less mysterious or profound than the Asking Immortal Hall.

Especially the Immortal Stairway.

Even now, he still remembers the helplessness of the Asking Immortal Hall Artifact Spirit when it talked about its master.

The strongest being in the Vast Desolate Domain.

Even those masters above the Primal Chaos Realm appear so fragile and insignificant in the face of eternity and indestructibility.

Perhaps in this Vast Desolate Domain, one might only ever reach the Return to Void Realm at most in a lifetime.

To truly transcend, one must travel to the Star Ruins Realm.

In the eternal and indestructible land, the truth is eternal and indestructible.

A thought flashed through his mind, and Jiang Shu's resolve grew stronger. But at this moment, he was no longer in a hurry to cultivate. Instead, he occasionally explained some issues about cultivation at the Essence Core Realm to Han Zhiqing.

This time, Han Zhiqing's performance did not escape his notice.

Barely passable.

As the host, it is natural to give them a sufficient reward.

Having cultivated with the Asking Immortal Hall Artifact Spirit Asking Immortal Hall for a century, Jiang Shu's understanding of the Essence Core Realm cultivation now surpasses even that of a typical Nirvana Realm True Lord. His guidance is naturally insightful and comprehensive.

Each and every supernatural skill, as he described it, was incisive and insightful, like a skilled butcher dissecting an ox, providing a comprehensive analysis.

Han Zhiqing went from being terrified at first to being completely captivated by her.

Since entering the Furnace Fire Realm, she had never received guidance from a master, and had never heard such a cultivation explanation before. She could sense almost everything in her body's Origin Power, and from time to time, she would form hand seals on the back of the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile to use her supernatural powers and verify what she had learned.

His pupils were filled with a sharp light.

The bottlenecks of the past have been gradually broken through.

Time flies like an arrow.

High in the sky, the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile, at the late stage of the Inner Core Realm, moved with unparalleled speed, like a shooting star chasing the moon. After traveling day and night without stopping, the outlines of the True Martial Thirty-Six Cities finally came into view.

"You will disguise yourself as a cultivator at the Furnace Fire Realm and go to the True Martial Fourth City to protect the Zhou Family's descendants."

"Be careful in everything. If anything happens, you can come directly to the True Martial Sect message."

My name is Jiang Shu.

With a flick of his finger, Jiang Shu transmitted all the appearances and information about Zhou Ming's descendants into Han Zhiqing's mind.

Although he claimed to have inherited Zhou Ming's legacy, it was clearly impossible for him to personally ensure that his descendants would enjoy wealth and prosperity for three generations.

His time and energy are so precious.

Sending one Origin Core Realm Master is enough.

Now, having received his guidance, Han Zhiqing is perhaps even stronger than Zhou Ming was in the past.

Once Han Zhiqing defeats Zhou Yan, she will be able to protect three generations, given her strength.

Even ten generations are no problem.

After saying that, he put the Cloud Winged Flying Crocodile back into his Beast Taming Pouch, and flew through the air, returning directly to the True Martial Sect.

The True Martial Sect is a truly great sect of cultivation, standing firm for ten thousand years.

Don't even mention that Jiang Shu only went out for a little over a year this time; it was as if he had truly been cultivating diligently for a hundred years.

On the day of his return, True Martial Sect was still the same, his appearance unchanged.

Landing at his familiar residence, Jiang Shu breathed a sigh of relief. Although there had been no danger on the way up, he had still been constantly worried.

He opened his palm, released the restriction, and activated each of the Sound Transmission Talisman on it.

Among them were good news about Xue Xuan and Luo Yu's various breakthroughs in cultivation.

The most important message was Lu Qing Ling's voice transmission. "Senior Brother Jiang, the sect has selected you as a participant in the Mystical Power Tournament. You must come to me upon your return. It's extremely urgent."

"Mystical Power Tournament? Is Zhou Yan making a move?"

The Mystical Power Tournament is a grand event held only once every sixty years by the Eight Great Sects.

The sect only accepts truly talented disciples to participate; ordinary disciples always sign up voluntarily. As long as they have a skill and meet the qualifications, they are eligible.

When he left the sect, he had only fought Ye Jiankong at the bottom of the Mystical Power Ranking.

This battle took place outside the gates, and it certainly caused quite a stir.

But in the eyes of the sect's elders and deacons, it was nothing to mention.

The Mystical Power Tournament is a true gathering of geniuses, let alone Outer Sect Disciple has cultivated more than a dozen supernatural powers.

Even if there are twenty students, they might all be eliminated in the first round.

Even if he were to register for the competition, his qualifications would still need to be verified.

How could the list be determined directly?

This means that someone deliberately arranged it.

And the one with this strength, who is also connected to me, is most likely Zhou Yan.

Without stopping to rest, Jiang Shu transformed into a streak of light and flew towards Lu Qing Ling's residence.

Perhaps because Lu Qing Ling had been waiting for him and hadn't actually gone into seclusion to cultivate, she quickly came out to greet Jiang Shu as soon as he arrived.

"I only found out about this two months ago. Actually, if it were just a normal competition for Mystical Power Tournament, it would definitely be beneficial without any drawbacks. Only by exchanging ideas with disciples from various sects can one truly verify what they have learned."

"Many geniuses in our sect only truly began to shine during the Mystical Power Tournament."

"But Senior Brother Jiang, someone deliberately reported your quota arrangement this time. I'm afraid there might be some underhanded tactics involved in the later conferences."

Lu Qing Ling's words were True Intention and heartfelt; within the True Martial Sect, she could be said to understand Jiang Shu the best.

Although Jiang Shu seems to possess a great many supernatural abilities now, these abilities are all obtained by refining the Mystical Power Great Elixir of Zhou Ming and Profound Water True Person. Without undergoing his own refinement, the power of these supernatural abilities is naturally inferior to that of others.

Compared to most of the Outer Sect Disciple of the sect, and to the Rogue Cultivator at the Furnace Fire Realm in Overturning Sea City, Senior Brother Jiang's strength was absolutely formidable.

They could even kill Outer Sect Disciple of the Dao One Sect.

But this time, those participating in the Mystical Power Tournament are true geniuses who have condensed more than thirty supernatural powers.

Even if Senior Brother Jiang is exceptionally talented, his cultivation time is still too short, so how can he compare to them?

Not to mention, since Zhou Yan has made a move, this may just be the first round of probing.

Even if they manage to get through it, there will still be a second round and a third round.

Compared to Zhou Yan, who is strong among the inner disciple and even made it onto the True Disciple Seed Ranking, Senior Brother Jiang is far too weak.

Lu Qing Ling pursed her lips, a hint of worry rising in her eyes again. In her mind, she couldn't help but recall her conversation with her aunt.

"Zhou Yan has a great fortuitous opportunity. Even if we can't be friends with him, we can't be enemies with him either. With his strength, he will soon be able to enter the True Disciple Seed Ranking. As for his future, even I don't know."

"If he ultimately fails and only becomes a sect elder, your aunt will personally mediate on your behalf, and there shouldn't be any problems."

"But if one becomes True Disciple the sect, even our Nirvana Realm elders will be inferior in status. True Disciple of the sect can all compete for the position of Sect Master in the future. Each one has the opportunity to reach the Primal Chaos Realm, and at the very least, they will become the Myriad Manifestations Dao Lord and become the master of a peak. Their status and strength are far beyond what your aunt can compare to."

Myriad Manifestations Dao Lord.

As a disciple of a sect, she naturally knew the difficulty of cultivation. It could be said that after entering the Dao through martial arts, each advancement in realm was no less than crossing an insurmountable chasm.

Especially for talented cultivators, each of them must accumulate a rich foundation within their respective realms.

Within the True Martial Sect, there exists a genius who cultivates thirty-four divine abilities but has yet to condense his Origin Core (primordial core).

A true disciple who has cultivated seventy or eighty supernatural abilities, Origin Power is constantly suppressed to the extreme, and who can almost fight against the Nirvana Realm True Disciple Seed True Lord, yet chooses not to break through.

Their goal has never been Nirvana Realm.

Rather, it is the Ten Thousand Manifestations Realm.

Even the Ten Thousand Manifestations Realm, which is even higher than the Primal Chaos Realm!

Even though she had good talent for cultivation and her aunt always took care of her, all she ever sought in her life was to reach the Nirvana Realm.

To progress from the Nirvana Realm to the Ten Thousand Manifestations Realm, one must comprehend a great Dao.

Is Zhou Yan really that powerful?

Looking at Jiang Shu in front of her, Lu Qing Ling waited quietly. She knew that her Senior Brother Jiang must have guessed by now that the person behind arranging him to enter the Mystical Power Tournament must be Zhou Yan.

If she hadn't known about the blood oath, she would have definitely made Jiang Shu reconcile with her beforehand, and at worst, she would have asked her aunt for help herself.

Paying a higher price should be fine.

However, there was a blood oath that if Senior Brother Jiang did not kill Zhou Yan, he would never have any hope of the Nirvana Realm in his entire life.

When they undergo the tribulation, the Nirvana Tribulation will bring with it a great tribulation of Heart Demon, which is far beyond what a Origin Core Realm Master can withstand.

This is tantamount to turning a grudge into an enemy who obstructs one's path.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing Ling couldn't help but lower her head slightly. Inheritance, ah, it's not something so easily obtained.

To inherit the legacy of Nether Lightning True Person, one must kill Zhou Yan.

The inheritance of Profound Water True Person is a false inheritance but a true Body Seizing.

If we could go back in time, Senior Brother Jiang would probably give up the inheritance of Nether Lightning True Person.

After all, Zhou Yan.

As for Senior Brother Jiang, no matter how talented he is, he ultimately lacks the fortuitous opportunity and the time to mature.

Let alone killing Zhou Yan, even defeating Zhou Yan would be extremely difficult.

"Zhou Yan must have known of my existence long ago."

Jiang Shu smiled, but didn't seem to care at all.

No matter how well Lu Qing Ling knew him, her stay with him only began when she left the sect and learned that he possessed more than twenty supernatural abilities.

But now, he has not only mastered sixty-eight supernatural powers, but has also cultivated outside for more than two hundred years.

His Origin Power was compressed to the extreme, and the power of his supernatural abilities was probably several points stronger than Zhou Yan's.

After all, no matter how extraordinary Zhou Yan's fortuitous opportunity were, how could they compare to those of the Asking Immortal Hall?

It was once Artifact Spirit of the Return to Void Realm, a being even more powerful than the Sect Master, who taught it for a hundred years.

Earth Rank divine abilities evolved from the Great Dao are almost comparable to Heaven Rank Mystical Power, comprehensively enhancing one's combat power.

Not to mention Zhou Yan, who hasn't even made it onto the True Disciple Seed Ranking yet.

Jiang Shu was confident he could fight even the top disciple of one of the Eight Great Sects True Disciple Seed Ranking.

"Senior Brother Jiang, please be careful."

Hearing Jiang Shu address Zhou Yan by his given name, Lu Qing Ling's pupils dilated slightly, and she whispered.

There's no problem if no one is eavesdropping between residences, but I'm afraid that Senior Brother Jiang might say it casually, even when he's out in public.

Zhou Yan now has quite a few followers, and any one of them could be someone that Senior Brother Jiang would find difficult to resist.

"Thank you for your concern, Qingling, but it's really nothing."

After saying that, Jiang Shu's aura solidified, and a Mystical Power Great Elixir appeared.

A terrifying pressure suddenly appeared in the residence.

Under Lu Qing Ling's shocked gaze.

On the Mystical Power Great Elixir, there are sixty-eight Mystical Power Pattern, displaying its immense power.

"Over the past year, I have had some fortuitous fortuitous opportunity in the Endless Sea Domain. Not only have I condensed my Origin Core, but I have also cultivated to the late stage."

Jiang Shu's voice was very calm, but every word seemed to be High Antiquity astronomy, passing through Lu Qing Ling's ears.

She recognizes and understands each word individually, but she just can't comprehend how they're put together.

What kind of fortuitous opportunity could allow a cultivator to advance from the Furnace Fire Realm to the Origin Core Realm, cultivate sixty-eight divine abilities, and reach the pinnacle of the Origin Core Realm in just one year?

She tilted her head back, her eyes filled with disbelief.

But this Mystical Power Great Elixir was right there in front of her.

She not only recognized sixty-eight of the supernatural powers, but also saw Thirty-Six Mystical Powers of them radiating a different kind of brilliance, like her Natal Mystical Power.

"Of these sixty-eight divine abilities, more than thirty are Earth Rank divine abilities, and the rest are Spirit Rank divine abilities, all of which I have cultivated to the Great Accomplishment or above."

Jiang Shu continued, "At the same time, the Cultivation Method I practice is Heaven Rank Cultivation Method, the Azure Sky Blue Sea Art. In terms of the quality of Origin Power, it should not be weaker than Zhou Yan's."

"No matter what happens at the Mystical Power Tournament, no amount of underhanded tricks can compare to one's own great power."
