Arthas is dead, and he is free.
Pulled by countless souls, he was transported to another world: the Shadowlands.
That is the final resting place for the soul.
Jiang Jie did not stop any of this.
Arthas still harbored a struggle and a conscience, but that conscience, that kindness from his youth, was imprisoned deep within him, forming a separate, independent soul.
With Arthas's death, his kind soul from his youth also emerged, thanked Jiang Jie, and then merged with Arthas's original soul.
They were originally one.
Jiang Jie picked up the Frostmourne.
Frostmourne imprisoned too many souls, but now those souls have escaped and are free, and the runic sword has returned to its original form.
Picking it up, Jiang Jie felt its coldness.
It's a coldness that extends from the body to the soul, a coldness capable of freezing the soul.
At the same time, a greedy and evil force began to tug at Jiang Jie 'Jiang Jie soul, wanting to devour it and merge with it, making Jiang Jie the second Death Knight of Frostmourne.
Jiang Jie smiled.
This intensity of soul-tearing has no effect on him anymore.
He easily blocked the power of Frostmourne and then put it away.
This demonic sword will be reforged, but not now.
With Arthas's death, the Undead who had been controlled by him and by Frostmourne were freed.
From now on, this icy world will belong entirely to the Forsaken.
However, it will still take some time for Thoradin, Faol, and Meryl to fully integrate and control all Undead Undead, and to establish a kingdom and order that belongs only to the Forsaken.
Maybe one or two years, maybe two or three years.
Similarly, Jiang Jie himself also needs time to strengthen his power and prepare for another Northern Expedition.
The next Northern Expedition will no longer be against the Scourge, but against the more powerful and terrifying Loken, and the Old Gods Yogg-Saron.
At that time, the Forsaken will become the most powerful force to fight against evil and darkness.
Jiang Jie turned and left.
He doesn't need to worry about anything here; there are others who should worry about it.
Having been separated from Fenna for so long, he should go back and spend time with her and their unborn child.
Yes, I should visit Calia and my second child when I have time.
It was now October of the 23rd year of the Dark Portal, late autumn.
The Northrend Expedition returned in triumph quickly, with only a small contingent remaining at the Vanguard Encampment as a surveillance post over the Kingdom of the Forsaken.
The victory of the Northern Expedition was a major event, and the whole nation was in a frenzy.
As the commander of the expedition to Lordaeron, Uther once again garnered attention, but the most popular choice was Jiang Jie.
Because his performance in the Northern Expedition was truly outstanding, surpassing everyone else's.
He single-handedly killed over 100,000 Undead ( the Forsaken's contribution will naturally not be publicized), and ultimately killed Arthas with his own hands, ending the Scourge. This achievement is beyond recognition.
Grand Duke is already the limit of the regular bestowal of titles. The entire Lake Lordamere plus the Arathi Highlands, with a total area far exceeding that of the Barov Family in the past, can no longer be granted such a title.
At this point in time, there would usually be suspicion of "overshadowing the master with merit", but Jiang Jie was an exception.
Ordinary commoners would naturally not discuss the "merit that overshadows the ruler" issue, but the nobles who loved to talk about such things knew more or less about the relationship between Jiang Jie and Her Majesty the Queen.
When Jiang Jie would be officially granted the title of Prince became a constant topic of conversation among them.
As the rumors circulated for a long time, they naturally reached Fenna's ears.
In fact, Fenna had already sensed it; a woman's intuition can be terrifying.
She simply didn't say anything, acted as if nothing had happened, neither questioning Jiang Jie Jiang Jie a hard time.
In fact, the lives of nobles were quite decadent.
While one can only have one wife, one can have a whole bunch of lovers.
Illegitimate children are quite common; Fenna herself was an illegitimate child.
Women in this world are clearly much more tolerant in this regard than those on Earth.
Fenna is a different kind of woman, but the person who provoked Jiang Jie is no ordinary character either.
Considering the terrible consequences of overturning the table, Fenna decided that she would at least not bring it into the open.
However, as Fenna and Calia's bellies grew larger, Jiang Jie became increasingly uneasy.
The baby will eventually be born, what will we do then?
He didn't know.
He could only numb himself through cultivation.
Besides cultivating the Black Tortoise Longevity Art and strengthening his True Essence, he even temporarily put aside Taijiquan and mainly cultivated the Dragon-Subduing Palm and Animal Form.
The five Animal Form of the Five Animal Frolics have been completed, and this set of exercises is now perfected. There are no further exercises; once the practice reaches its peak, it loses its value.
Jiang Jie is currently cultivating the Nine Resemblances of the Divine Dragon.
Its head resembles a camel's, its antlers a deer's, its eyes a rabbit's, its ears a cow's, its neck a snake's, its belly a clam's, its scales a carp's, its claws an eagle's, and its paws a tiger's.
Jiang Jie has mastered the four forms: deer, snake, eagle, and tiger.
Camels are practically nonexistent in the Eastern Kingdoms, so we'll leave that aside for now.
Jiang Jie primarily cultivates the rabbit, ox, mirage, and carp forms.
Fenna also loves cute little rabbits, Jiang Jie simply bought a whole bunch of rabbits, built a rabbit hutch, and spent all day studying the rabbits, imitating their shapes, and using his Chi to sense their body structure.
Druid are able to take Animal Form because of the existence of the Wild Gods.
The rabbit race doesn't have Demigod, so obtaining Animal Form is much more difficult, and there's no record of any Druid mastering a rabbit form.
So after a month of hard work, Jiang Jie only managed to complete the Hare True Form. As for the rabbit form, he had no idea and could only give up for the time being and come up with it slowly later.
There are cows on the farm outside the city. Jiang Jie sometimes goes to study the cows and eventually mastered their Ox True Form. But like the rabbit, he did not master the cow's form.
The cow is Demigod, one of the August Celestials of the Pandaren: " Black Ox " Niuzao.
The best way to complete the bull form is, of course, to go to Pandaria and find the Black Ox.
He will go to Pandaria, but not now; it's not the right time.
There are two small lakes in front of the gates of Stratholme.
The lake water has been purified, and many kinds of fish, including carp, are raised in it.
Black Tortoise is a mythical beast of the water, so controlling water is naturally a given for it.
Jiang Jie often went to the lake to observe the carp. After a month, he had mastered the Carp True Form, but he was still far from completing the carp's form.
The only thing that was completed was the mirage form.
The Zhaoren the Onyx Cloud Serpent was taken by Jiang Jie.
Jiang Jie studied it for a full month and finally completed the Mirage Dragon True Form and Mirage Dragon Form dragon, which can transform into a ten-meter-long mirage dragon, soaring freely in the sky.
There's still one missing from the nine true forms. Even if we were to extract the nine characteristics of the nine animals and merge them into one to complete the True Dragon Form, it wouldn't be enough. But we can consider that direction.
Through merchants in Stromgarde, Jiang Jie made contact with the Goblin of the Steamwheedle Cartel, entrusting them with bringing some camels from Tanaris.
However, this will take a long time, since it involves traveling by sea, which will take at least two or three months.
Jiang Jie didn't have time to make a special trip to Tanaris, nor was he in a hurry, so he could only wait.
Regarding the Animal True Form, he has temporarily reached a bottleneck. The only thing Jiang Jie needs to focus on cultivating next is the Black Tortoise Longevity Art.
His True Essence increased again, reaching a full six True Essence.
According to his estimation, 9 drops of True Essence are barely enough to form a " True Essence Like a Dragon " and create the smallest Chi dragon in the body, while 36 drops of True Essence is the ultimate level of High-tier Legendary.
Although the speed at which he could condense True Essence increased with his strength, Jiang Jie estimated that it would be impossible to do so in less than two years.
In other words, within two years, apart from condensing the True Dragon Form Black Tortoise True Form, his strength is unlikely to improve by leaps and bounds, unless there is external intervention, such as a divine artifact.
At his stage, there are very few pieces of equipment left that can significantly enhance his strength, even divine artifacts.
In December, a month before Fenna's delivery and less than two months before Calia's, Duke Jorach suddenly arrived with news.
