Chapter 64: The Hardworking Qi Cang

Returning to Feixian Sect, after a solid round of flattery, Jiang Cheng distributed the various sects’ classics collected from this raid. The range of cultivation techniques this time was varied, finally freeing them from solely practicing Red Sun Sect’s techniques like before. Afterward, he summoned Ji Linghan and Yin Xuer. The time flow within the Xuanji Map Fragment is a thousand times faster than the outside world. One day outside is equivalent to a thousand days inside. This is clearly a divine artifact for fast-track cultivation. Currently, the disciples’ cultivation is too low, hardly impressive compared to sects like the Eight Clouds Hall. The method Jiang Cheng thought of is to let them enter for cultivation, rapidly increasing their power. As they level up, he can also earn point rewards, why not? However, the environment inside the fragment is too harsh to survive unless one is in the Soul Splitting Realm. And currently, the only disciples in the Soul Splitting Realm in Feixian Sect are Ji Linghan and Yin Xuer. Seeing the two girls called separately, the fire of gossip among the disciples burned fiercely. "As expected, the Sect Leader favors Senior Sister Ji and Senior Sister Yin the most, probably going to confess to them!" "Who do you think the Sect Leader will choose?" "Are you stupid? A figure as gallant and extraordinary as the Sect Leader, of course, he will take both!" "True, it seems Lin Ning has no hope." "I also thought Lin Ning was a strong competitor, but it seems... the Sect Leader values figure more." "Lin Ning’s disadvantage is her young age." Hearing everyone’s discussion, Lin Ning’s heart broke, her pained gaze at Brother Cheng like looking at an unfaithful heartbreaker. This made Brother Cheng feel very wronged; nothing happened between us, girl. To clear his name, he could only explain the effect of the Xuanji Map in public. Of course, to show off, he shamelessly claimed the Xuanji Map’s space was the Xuanji Dojo he created with his divine techniques. For a moment, the disciples were both shocked, envious, and admiring. "Such divine techniques exist!" "The Sect Leader is truly immortal, confirmed!" "Manipulating time flow, such an ability unheard of, too amazing!" "If you practice inside for a year, wouldn’t it be like a thousand years?" "Sect Leader, could you also set up something like this for your most loyal disciple Gan Ziyi?" "Didn’t the Sect Leader just say? The dojo created by his Heaven and Earth Creation Divine Techniques is unstable, and below Soul Splitting Realm, survival is not feasible." "Besides, the most loyal lapdog to the Sect Leader has always been me, Shan Tai. When did it become Junior Brother Gan’s turn?" "Ah, I’m just one step away from the Soul Splitting Realm, what a pity." Luo Yuan slapped his thigh. Lin Ning was also relieved, turned out to be for cultivation. Almost thought the Sect Leader made a decision, and she was completely out. She glanced at Elder Luo Yuan of the Gathering Essence Ninth Layer, secretly determined to challenge! She also heard, that ’dojo’ could only accommodate three people now, and must wait for the Sect Leader’s divine techniques to advance to accommodate more. The next ticket must be hers! Ji Linghan and Yin Xuer were both thrilled yet disappointed. Thrilled because of the time flow 1000 times faster, as cultivators, few wouldn’t want to enhance their power early. As for the disappointment... After countless inner battles in a short period, having decided with difficulty to accept serving one husband together with Senior Sister Ji, yet you tell me, I overthought it? "Happy?" "Surprised?" Brother Cheng was still fishing for compliments. Ji Linghan and Yin Xuer could only show joy, nodding repeatedly. "Truly happy." "Very surprised!" But inside thinking, once they enter and are isolated, wouldn’t it be a long time without seeing the Sect Leader? "Then prepare to head in early!" Next, he gave each of the two girls a ring, filled with the top-grade spirit stones and fifth-grade pills collected this time. Refining pills and absorbing spirit stones requires time for transformation. The pills and spirit stones in the rings were enough for the two girls to last two to three hundred years. He also worried about accidents, since only he could control entrance and exit from the Xuanji Map. If anything happened to him, and he couldn’t release them in time, it would be troublesome. With everything ready, he performed a spell in a pretentious manner, transforming the two girls into two streaks of red light, drawing them into the map. Jiang Cheng immediately transferred the two into a stable area he’d created, then advised them to cultivate well. "Alright, alright, disperse now." "All of you better focus on cultivation, look at your skills, thinking about idle things all day." "When will you reach Spirit Platform Realm or Celestial Fate Realm?" "Does Feixian Sect’s prestige rely solely on me?" Obviously just for points, yet the Sect Leader’s authoritative demeanor was intimidating. Luo Yuan, Shan Tai, and others were rebuked like grandchildren, and quickly escaped to their respective cave mansions with disciples. While things calmed down on Feixian Sect’s side, on the other side, Eight Clouds Hall was not at peace. As expected, after two failures, how could Qi Cang let it rest? Every day, his head is filled with one thing, how to put Jiang Cheng to death. If Jiang Cheng knew how hard he was trying, he would surely be very moved. To satisfy his desire to be killed, this guy could be described as exhausting all his efforts. "Jiang Cheng’s true power is at most Spirit Platform Realm invincible, which is still due to that divine-grade Spirit Platform bringing it." "Without the divine-grade Spirit Platform, he’s not even on par with you, Young Master!" Lu Zhong calmly analyzed. He was a professional, Qi Cang believed in his judgment. "But who in Eight Clouds Hall can withstand his Tier Nine Spirit Talisman?" Eight Clouds Hall has over ten Celestial Fate Realm experts, and tier seven spiritual artifacts, even two tier eight ones, all formidable weapons. But a Tier Nine Spirit Talisman equates to a full-force strike from a Daoist Palace Realm expert. That power... No one in Eight Clouds Hall dared claim they could survive. They didn’t know Jiang Cheng only had one talisman at the time, thinking he had a pile. "His fortunes are too excessive, even having Tier Nine Spirit Talisman, how unfair the heavens are!" In his anger, Qi Cang crushed the armrest of his chair into powder. The Tier Nine Spirit Talisman first brought him fear, now back at Eight Clouds Hall, it turned into greed. If everything in that ring belonged to him... He’d heard of the news about Duanmu Family and several sects being completely destroyed by Jiang Cheng, but he simply didn’t care. A few tougher ants, dead means dead. "We must find a way to kill him, and take his ring and everything in it by grabbing!" Lu Zhong frowned and shook his head, "This is easier said than done, even at the Celestial Fate Realm, there’s no guarantee to prevent him from pulling out talismans from his ring before his demise." The opportunity of a Tier Nine Spirit Talisman, even he couldn’t remain composed. Qi Cang pondered for a long time, suddenly getting an idea. "I’ve got it!" "You’ve thought of a way?" "Indeed, a month from now is the 43,500th anniversary of founding Eight Clouds Hall, we can use this as a reason to invite him over." In Qi Cang’s view, since he hasn’t had a direct conflict with Jiang Cheng, and even said he would support them last time, he shouldn’t be exposed yet. Perhaps, Jiang Cheng still considers him one of his own. This kind of invitation, he would surely be unguarded. Lu Zhong also caught on. "You mean, lure him to our territory, win him over first, then find a chance to seize the ring with the talismans?" "Exactly, there will be plenty of opportunities then!" Qi Cang clenched his fist, his expression slightly twisted from excitement. "Once we secure that ring, he’s just fish on the chopping board, ready for us to cut!"
