History turned another page, to the year 22 of the Dark Portal. (Following a dream...)
Too much has happened in the past year, and Lordaeron has experienced the worst disaster since its founding.
Fortunately, under Her Majesty's leadership, and with the support of Uther the Lightbringer, Grand Duke Nicholas of Grand Duke of Stromgarde, Marquis Lawrence, and others, and through the efforts of all the people, they barely managed to overcome the crisis.
The appearance of the World Tree allowed the northern part of Silverpine Forest to recover its original ecology, and the southern part of Tirisfal Glades also gradually recovered. The purification work in other places was also being carried out in a tense but orderly manner thanks to the efforts of the Order of the Silver Hand.
It is estimated that within two years at most, the entire Lordaeron will recover its original ecology, and the effects of the Undead Scourge will be completely eliminated.
As refugees gradually returned to their homes, Stratholme's population grew. The ruins of Alterac City, which had been recently captured and thoroughly cleared, were now undergoing restoration under the administration of Baron Maxwell, the Grand Knight. Many people had voluntarily moved into this mountain city, relieving the pressure on Lordaeron.
Oh, by the way, Maxwell is no longer a baron.
For his meritorious service in pacifying the Syndicate and conquering Alterac City, he was promoted to Earl and became the regent of Alterac City...
Of course, he is merely the governor; the city does not belong to him. His fiefdom is located in the heart of Lordaeron: near a small town in Tirisfal Glades.
Everything is moving in a positive direction, and the new year brings a fresh start.
Construction of Sky City continues. Although the second phase of the project is basically completed, the outline of the city is only just being completed, and there is still a lot of work to be done.
According to Xiao Feng's blueprints, the construction of Sky City is even more complex than that of Dalaran.
Dalaran, let alone Sky City. The third phase of construction is estimated to take a year, and the fourth phase will take even longer.
The four Elemental Spirits and the Worgen led by Velinde have been traveling between various places, bringing all kinds of plants and animals to Sky City in an effort to improve its Sky City.
This city no longer needs Jiang Jie's management. Humans, Worgen, Gnomes, Earthen, Night Elf, High Elf —all the residents of this city have come to regard it as their eternal home and are working hard to build it up.
Most of the time, Jiang Jie lived in Stromgarde.
He still has a lot to do to become True Unity Earth Immortal.
He diligently cultivates every day, absorbing energy to strengthen his True Essence and further improve his physical qualities, gradually evolving from a mortal body to Earth Immortal body. This is a long process, but also a process of rapid growth in strength.
Only after becoming True Unity Earth Immortal did Jiang Jie truly step into the realm of Legendary.
Even without Anveena, Pyralis, and the divine sword Strom'kar, even bare-handed and dressed in coarse linen, he was confident he could fight any ordinary Legendary expert. Even a master's spell would hardly cause him much harm, because his body had undergone a fundamental change.
Human bodies generally have no magic resistance. Dwarves are born with "petrified skin" and "resistant skin." Night Elf and High Elf are also born with strong magic resistance. In fact, these races' bodies have possessed certain "extraordinary" characteristics from the beginning.
Now, Jiang Jie's body has also begun to possess this characteristic, and he is even stronger than the Dwarves, Night Elf, High Elf!
A sufficiently powerful body can directly withstand extremely powerful spells. The body of Chromatus, the " Chromatic Dragon," cannot be destroyed even by the five Queen of the Dragon Aspects. Deathwing's blood cannot Devastation even by master-level spells.
Jiang Jie was certainly far from reaching that level, but he had tried:
Even without using the Black Tortoise Armor Gang Qi, he could withstand the bombardment of a beginner mage's Fireball without sustaining any damage.
In fact, his skin was permeated with a large amount of Chi, Chi enhanced his skin's defensive capabilities and magical resistance.
Even his master's spells could only exert a fraction of their power on him. Jiang Jie's personal strength had more than tripled compared to two months ago!
He has more important things to do:
The five remnant souls of the Loa suppressed between his brows are being gradually digested and absorbed, strengthening Jiang Jie's own soul.
Land Immortal involve the realm of "gods," which is the realm of "souls."
Although True Unity Earth Immortal has not yet specifically begun cultivating the soul, a martial artist's soul and spirit have always grown together. His soul has also entered a stage of rapid growth, and even without the remnant soul of Loa, it is much stronger than before.
Of course, with these Loa souls, Jiang Jie's soul grew even faster.
Roughly estimated, in two months at most, he will be able to completely refine these five remnant souls and his soul will fully enter the Legendary level.
Reaching the Legendary level of one's soul and attaining the realm of " Ghost Immortal " is a prerequisite for becoming Three Talents Earth Immortal.
As Jiang Jie absorbed the remnant soul of Loa, he mastered the five corresponding Animal Form better and better.
Reaching the level of True Unity Earth Immortal is a realm that requires constant refinement; there are no shortcuts.
Therefore, during this period, in addition to continuing to cultivate the existing few unique skills, Jiang Jie constantly studied Animal Form in order to complete the five Animal Form of the Five Animal Frolics and the nine Animal Form of the Nine Resemblances of the Divine Dragon as soon as possible, and then evolve into the True Dragon Form and transform into the Divine Dragon.
By then, Jiang Jie's strength will have risen to a completely new level, a level on par with " World Druid " Malfurion.
The Five Animal Frolics: the first is the tiger, the second is the deer, the third is the bear, the fourth is the monkey, and the fifth is the bird.
The Nine Resemblances of the Divine Dragon: its head resembles a camel, its horns a deer, its eyes a rabbit, its ears a cow, its neck a snake, its belly a clam, its scales a carp, its claws an eagle, and its paws a tiger.
The tiger, deer, and snake are complete; now the most crucial ones are the bear, monkey, and bird.
The easiest form to achieve is the Ape Form.
Stromgarde Square.
With a pained expression, the White Gorilla began its daily training once again.
Two months ago, Jiang Jie returned to Stromgarde and immediately helped the White Gorilla open up all its meridians, allowing it to directly enter the Houtian level. He also taught it the Xiantian Art.
The Xiantian Art, as the earliest Xiantian realm internal skill passed down from ancient Daoism, has been continuously improved over thousands of years and is actually the best and most perfect internal skill.
The Black Tortoise Longevity Art is certainly more advanced, but an ape would not naturally cultivate such an internal skill; the Xiantian Art would be more suitable for it.
Under Jiang Jie's personal tutelage, the White Gorilla made rapid progress.
Because Jiang Jie helped him open up all the meridians in his body, there were no bottlenecks in the process of going from the First Layer of the Acquired Realm to the Houtian Tenth Layer. It was as if the container was already prepared, and all that was needed was to put things into it.
Its progress is much faster than Jiang Jie's back then.
In just two months, it had cultivated to the Houtian Tenth Layer, making Jiang Jie's other disciples extremely envious.
Unfortunately, Jiang Jie.
The reason he takes such good care of the White Gorilla, constantly using his Chi to help it groom its body every day, is actually to understand its physical structure so that he can better comprehend the Ape Form and cultivate the True White Ape Form.
Every morning, without fail, Jiang Jie and the White Gorilla cultivate together, learning from each other.
Learning naturally requires verification, and the way to verify is through combat.
Despite the poor White Gorilla's rapid progress and improved physical abilities, and despite Jiang Jie's special request for the Ironforge blacksmiths to forge it an Arcanite Greatsword worth 100,000 gold coins, it was still no match for Jiang Jie.
Two months ago, even when Jiang Jie was unarmed, the White Gorilla was still able to throw a few punches back.
As time went on, the White Gorilla grew stronger and stronger, and could no longer fight back, only passively taking hits.
Starting a month ago, the daily "verification" has actually become Jiang Jie's routine of disciplining the White Gorilla. In Jiang Jie's words:
You can't learn anything without being disciplined.
In reality, Jiang Jie wasn't just playing around; he was helping the White Gorilla to regulate and strengthen its body, unleashing its potential.
Especially in the last few days, the White Gorilla's Internal Energy has become sufficiently abundant, and Jiang Jie has gone to great lengths to help the White Gorilla overcome its bottleneck and see a wider world.
"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"
The White Gorilla, whose speech was becoming increasingly fluent, suddenly threw away the Arcanite Greatsword and sat cross-legged.
Jiang Jie an eyebrow, sensing something. He withdrew his fist, stepped forward, and stood in front of the White Gorilla. Then, he reached out and injected a wisp of Chi into the White Gorilla's body, feeling this crucial process.
Half an hour later, the White Gorilla suddenly grinned and laughed loudly. The laughter was like thunderous rage, unrestrained and exhilarating, and it resounded throughout half of Stromgarde, attracting the attention of countless people.
At the same time, Jiang Jie smiled slightly, and a white ape phantom appeared behind him.
The white ape quickly shrank and merged with Jiang Jie, Jiang Jie then transformed into a white ape, still wearing the smile from before.
