Chapter 105: Crazy Advancement

In fact, the green-skirt palace maid was not far from the Princess’s Mansion at this moment. She was always waiting for Jiang Cheng to crush the jade talisman and call for her help. Just asking for help would mean he accepted the deal. Upon seeing the giant spear formed by the Blood Radiance Army, she actually intended to step in. This strike, even for her at the Daoist Palace Eighth Layer, was hard to ensure being unscathed. Not to mention, there were seven other Daoist Palace experts attacking simultaneously. Without her intervention, Jiang Cheng absolutely couldn’t survive. But she ultimately restrained herself. If she actively participated in the battle, it wouldn’t mean Jiang Cheng had yielded. This was a game between them, at least she thought so. After that strike, she thought Jiang Cheng was dead. "Foolish man." "No matter how great one’s fate, it can’t withstand recklessness." With such an assessment, she didn’t wait long before seeing the barrier. "Dragon Spirit Array?" "Did Xiang Gaoye make a move?" She was extremely puzzled, what is the Emperor trying to do? Jiang Cheng should already be dead, so why activate the Great Array? Then, she sensed Jiang Cheng had crushed the spirit talisman. A wisp of her True Spirit consciousness instantly appeared within the barrier, witnessing the scene inside. The entire Blood Radiance Army was annihilated. The seven great experts were exhausted, struggling on the brink of death. And Jiang Cheng was still perfectly fine. Oh, aside from that, the puppet cheerleaders were still busy performing. The singing and dancing never stopped. The Great Array was completely controlled by Jiang Cheng, who thoughtfully cleared a small safe zone for the cheerleaders. The green-skirt palace maid was speechless about his aesthetic and taste. She was almost dazed by the utterly one-sided battle before her eyes. "How did you do it?" Xiang Gaoye couldn’t have opened the array for Jiang Cheng and killed the experts of his own dynasty. "Just did it, a casual flick." Brother Cheng shrugged, looking all nonchalant. By this time, those seven great experts were all dead. The seawater within the barrier receded quietly, the Black Dragon illusion dissipated, and tranquility returned inside the barrier. The green-skirt palace maid’s beautiful eyes widened in shock; even she couldn’t achieve such a feat. She didn’t believe Jiang Cheng was truly that powerful. "How did you master the Dragon Spirit Array? You should be here for the first time." "Secret." Jiang Cheng smiled mysteriously. The green-skirt palace maid’s True Spirit consciousness remained silent for a moment before finally asking, "Since you’ve already won, why did you crush the jade talisman?" When the jade talisman shattered, she thought Jiang Cheng had finally sought help. She immediately prepared to act, intending to shield him from a deadly strike. Who would have guessed, upon entering, she wasn’t needed at all. "Oh, just wanted you to witness it." Brother Cheng shrugged; having someone observe while showing off sure felt more rewarding, right? "You..." The green-skirt palace maid’s heart raced like thousands of galloping horses; she was utterly defeated by this person. As the barrier disappeared, the True Spirit consciousness, having only one strike worth of power, couldn’t exist long in the external world, soon dissipated. Brother Cheng cheerfully began collecting the spoils. Among the ten thousand Blood Radiance Army members, there was almost nothing valuable. Though all of them were in the Spirit Platform Realm, none even had storage rings. In other sects, Soul Splitting Realm practitioners generally had their collections. "Such a cruel regime, risking lives for the Qianxing dynasty, with such poor compensations." He complained while exchanging all the Tier Four battle armors and Tier Five weapons from these people into points. The corrosion of the Dragon Spirit Array only targets flesh and blood creatures, so these spiritual artifacts remained intact. From these people, he obtained 1.1 million points. Then there were the seven top experts; they were the main attraction. These seven were all within the Daoist Palace Realm, and each was either a family patriarch, a senior military giant fan, or a college dean. Their assets were mostly stored in their personal storage rings. Jiang Cheng almost cheered every time he opened a ring. Each person possessed Tier Eight spiritual artifacts, and both Su Qingshou and Qiu He Sword Venerable had Tier Nine spirit swords. The spirit stones, pills, and spirit talismans were in abundance. As the journey through the Qianxing dynasty wasn’t over, and considering potential future threats and resurrections, he chose not to spare them and converted everything into points. With this conversion, his total points directly reached 8.55 million. The upgrade to 10 million was within reach. Besides, there were over a dozen Heavenly and Earthly Treasures for crafting treasure pills and treasure artifacts. Additionally, from the rings of these people, he gathered 21 Treasure Pills that increase spiritual power. As for Divine Soul elixirs, they were too rare, and if any of them had such, they would have likely consumed it long ago. Having recently elevated his Divine Soul due to Li Dragon’s residual spirit to the Daoist Palace level, now he lacked spiritual power accumulation, and these Treasure Pills were a timely help. With the terrifying conversion speed of the Celestial Desolation Indestructible Body, as long as he consumed them, they could be refined into spiritual power to increase cultivation. He immediately sat down cross-legged, taking the pills on the spot, practicing meditation. For others, meditating during practice, the outdoors in the wild was the most taboo and dangerous. Especially during breakthroughs, a little disturbance could cause major problems. However, Jiang Cheng didn’t care; he had two resurrections left today, no problem even if he’s killed. A graceful silhouette silently appeared behind him. The body of the green-skirt palace maid still came over. She quietly watched Jiang Cheng’s back as he cultivated, unsure of what to say. She couldn’t evaluate this person at all. Call him foolish? All the dead were enemies, and he was the one laughing at the end. Call him smart? Look at this defenseless demeanor, what’s smart about it? Soon, she saw Jiang Cheng become Celestial Fate Fifth Layer. Improvement through pills? For pills to be effective, one’s realm comprehension must keep up, along with their divine soul. It seems he had an epiphany in the recent battle? Then she watched as Jiang Cheng took more pills. Can he continue to advance? Merely a minute later, she was astonished to find his aura had already become Celestial Fate Sixth Layer. How is that possible? Advancement from Celestial Fate Fifth Layer to Sixth Layer requires a great deal of spiritual power. Even though Treasure Pills contain massive spiritual qi, cultivators need a lengthy time to refine and convert it into spiritual power. Refining a single Treasure Pill, ordinary Celestial Fate cultivators need two to three months or even longer. For talented cultivators, due to special constitution and bloodline, the time is greatly shortened, often taking only a few days. As for top-tier talents like her, it could be done within a few hours. But now, what is she witnessing? This person used a short moment to refine two Treasure Pills and succeeded in breaking through. "You..." She intended to say something. Soon, she saw Jiang Cheng took two Treasure Pills again, refining them together. He’s crazy, right? Celestial Fate cultivators can handle the power of one Treasure Pill, which is already considered the limit. Two could very likely explode the meridians! Yet, two minutes later, she noticed Jiang Cheng had again consumed two Treasure Pills. Moments later, he advanced again, successfully becoming a Celestial Fate Seventh Layer cultivator. The green-skirt palace maid could swear she had never seen anyone improve so quickly in her life. Right under her eyes, a small realm one moment, then another small realm the next.
