The Ice Spirit Saint’s angry remark made Jiang Chen smile. This woman had come to pick a fight with him and almost got herself killed. He would not take action against her for his apprentice sister’s sake, but he had to teach her a small lesson. However, at the thought of what the saint had said, Jiang Chen understood how significant this Title Battle was.
I’ve achieved and even surpassed the goal I set half a year ago. I’ve really done my best. Jiang Chen thought to himself. No matter how the battle would end, he would have no regrets. He had not flinched when it was time to go all-out, and he had seized every chance he was supposed to seize.
But I still have to work on my Doctrine Heart. Thinking of the power he felt when the Doctrine Heart beat, he was eager to experience more. If he could control it at will, odds would be on his side during the Title Battle.
Will this be a chance to achieve the great integration of martial arts techniques?! Recollecting everything he had read about the Doctrine Heart, this thought suddenly occurred to him, which completely excited him. Then, he quickly stopped the airship and started to ponder deeply on the Doctrine Heart.
Time flew. Several days passed. The airship, stopped in the air, became covered by a layer of snow. Then, one day, Jiang Chen shouted for a long time after several days’ silence. He sounded like muffled thunder. As far as his shout could reach, snow and ice were all smashed to pieces. The whole sky became clear.


Purple smoke illuminated the sky like an evening glow. However, no one but Jiang Chen saw this. Otherwise, another disturbance would have been created in the Three Middle Realms. Purple smoke coming from the east was a propitious omen. It symbolized the appearance of a saint. After a good while, the purple smoke all went back into Jiang Chen’s heart. He exhaled some foul air in one long breath. Then he looked completely different.

It has taken you so little time to make such a big progress. That’s awesome.
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
Jiang Chen was struck dumb. Then, pleasantly surprised, he held the eight groups of spiritual beings in hand.

Azure Demon, black dragon, when did you wake up?


Just now. The abundant purple smoke woke us up,
Azure Demon, namely, the deva, said.

Seriously? Does that mean the purple smoke can also do good to the eight groups of spiritual beings?

Jiang Chen immediately intended to shroud the eight groups of spiritual beings in the purple smoke.

Don’t. What the eight groups of spiritual beings need is Buddha’s power instead of Doctrine power. Too much purple smoke will do us harm,
Azure Demon hurried to stop him.

You’re right.

It immediately dawned on Jiang Chen that the eight groups of spiritual beings were a Buddhist treasure.



Unfortunately, I have no profound understanding of Buddhism.

He felt it was a pity since, for that reason, the eight groups of spiritual beings only had limited power. He had thought about studying more about Buddhism, but since Buddhist texts are extensive and profound, it would need great perseverance and outstanding wits to make progress. Even so, there was still no guaranteed achievement.

You can ask for an eminent Buddhist monk’s help to improve the eight groups of spiritual beings,
said Azure Demon.

I know.
Jiang Chen nodded. This was the only way.

Human, why is your body in such a condition?
The silent black dragon suddenly spoke. The dragon apparently had found out about Jiang Chen’s divine body.
Jiang Chen told them what had happened. Then smiling bitterly, he said,
Are you going to tell me too, that it’s difficult to make a great achievement with a divine body?


No!
The black dragon was quite emotional, but not excited. Instead, he was kind of lost and panicked. The giant dragon soul flew out of the scripture. He flew around the airship first, and then the dragon head came up to Jiang Chen.
There hasn’t been anyone born with a divine body for 1,000 years. Not to mention a divine body gained from practice. It won’t be allowed in this world.


Unless there will be a big change in the world!


It’s an omen of disaster!

The black dragon behaved like a lunatic who had lost his senses. It was impossible to speak to him. Jiang Chen was filled with doubt. The black dragon went back into the scripture without giving him any further explanations. No matter how Jiang Chen called him, he just would not respond.



Azure Demon, what did he mean?


Black dragon makes sense. If a divine body starts to appear again, it means more strong bodies will appear one after another, or, in other words, they have grown mature.

Azure Demon has been living for more than 1,000 years. He knew a lot.

I guess this is good?
The first idea that occurred to Jiang Chen was that human beings would not fall into those dark ages that they had been living in again if they could get stronger and more prosperous.

These things don’t just happen for no reason. They usually come with big disasters. That’s why great geniuses are needed—to deal with the disasters,
said Azure Demon seriously.
Jiang Chen frowned. He recalled that he had read about this in books.

Even if the world is destroyed, there are stronger ones to deal with it.
In the end, Jiang Chen had decided not to think about it. Even if a great disaster did happen, as a trivial Celestial Venerable, what could he do? The only thing he could do was to try his best to get stronger as soon as possible.
He started the journey again, telling Azure Demon about his experiences during this whole time. Azure Demon stayed silent for a long time when he learned Jiang Chen had achieved the ability to kill an average Celestial Venerable with only one hand in less than one year. He also felt expectant after learning Jiang Chen was going to compete with the best geniuses in the Title Battle.

So many years have passed, but the Spirits are still so aloof and arrogant.
Azure Demon shouted,
We have to teach them a lesson, to let them know who on earth is the strongest among all species.


Of course,
Jiang Chen said, smiling.


After traveling through two Desolate Forbidden Lands in a row, the airship finally arrived in the One Sacred Territory, the most powerful among the nine territories. It was more commonly called the Sacred Territory in the Three Middle Realms.
With the word
sacred
in its name, it was not difficult to know how extraordinary it was. The previous Title Battles had been held here too.
Not many changes here. Jiang Chen exclaimed to himself. He had been here 500 years ago to watch the Title Battle. It was a great battle, but he was more interested in the Title Palace.
Looking up, Jiang Chen saw numerous orbits over the clouds, which looked a lot like the lights connecting constellations.

Star Orbits,
Jiang Chen murmured. Transportation is significant for any place which wants development. The culture of practice was extremely popular at this age. There were even great inventions like airships. It was not a dream anymore to travel thousands of miles in a day. Great transportation formations could even take people to other Planes Worlds.
However, this world was just too big. Even though people could travel thousands of miles in a day, it was still like marching on the spot compared to the rest of the world. And not everyone could afford transportation formations.
As a result, Star Orbits were deployed in the Three Upper Realms. It was a technique for high-speed transportation. Traveling in Star Orbits, airships could get to their destinations as fast as they could. However, not anyone was able to deploy a Star Orbit. The inventor of the Star Orbit was the First Young Master of the Sacred Zone. Namely, Jiang Chen himself.
He built these Star Orbits at the earnest request of various forces and the Spirits when he came to the Three Middle Realms to watch the Title Battle. He was surprised that they still existed after 500 years.
Jiang Chen drove the airship into a Star Orbit to head for the ancient city. He arrived in over 20 minutes. If he had not used the Star Orbit, it would have taken him a whole day.

The cost of your trip from your place of departure to the ancient city is 130 thousand upper-grade yuan stones,
A mechanical voice could be heard when Jiang Chen flew out of the Star Orbit.



Seriously?
He felt absurd that he had to pay for something that he had invented.
