Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

[1: Give up on cultivation and your spiritual energy will transform into a realm of martial arts in this world—Three Grotto-heaven realm.]

[2: Continue to cultivate. Immortals are above all living beings and are revered by all. The path of cultivation is to pursue the path of the Heavenly Dao. You can activate the Blessing of Incense function.]

[Blessing of Incense: It can consume a certain amount of incense points to increase the qualifications of a person who is about to reincarnate and bring good luck. The degree of enhancement and good luck depends on the amount of incense consumed.]

Three Grotto-heaven realm?

Jiang Changsheng could not help but think of the Xiansheng Grotto-heaven. So the Xiansheng Grotto-heaven got its name from this realm?

No, he had to calculate and confirm if there were any worthy opponents in the Xiansheng Grotto-heaven.

Jiang Changsheng silently chose the second option. As for the Blessing of Incense, it was passable. Even if he used it, he would use it on someone he cared about. It was impossible for him to bless a random disciple or good friend in their reincarnation. His cultivation was the most important.

After this tribulation, he attached more importance to the incense offerings.

The strength of the future heavenlv tribulation was unimaginable. so he had to

be cautious.

Jiang Changsheng thought as he consolidated his cultivation.

He began to use the incense calculation.

“I want to know the realm of the strongest person in this continent other than

[90,000 incense points will be consumed. Do you wish to continue?]

NO!

So many points neede?

Jiang Changsheng was frightened. Which old bastard was it?

90,000 incense points was dozens of times more than the value of a Chao Sect. Thay person could last for about nine minutes in the previous heavenly tribulation?

As for him, he could only last for half of that time before his breakthrough. Now that his spiritual energy had increased explosively, his body and soul had undergone a transformation, far exceeding before his breakthrough.

Of course, this was only his guess. It was not certain if the incense points represented the specific combat strength, but he could determine the approximate difference in the other party’s strength through the difference in incense points.

“I want to know the realm of the third strongest expert on this continent?”

[Requires 20,000 incense points. Do you wish to continue?]

NO!

There was still a huge gap.

Jiang Changsheng silently thought. It seemed like that strongest expert was an old monster that would never die.

Since he had nothing better to do, Jiang Changsheng continued to calculate. “What is the realm of the strongest martial artist in the world?”

“The scope is too large and I am unable to calculate it for the time being. The system needs time to sense the luck in the world.”

Too bad.

Jiang Changsheng felt somewhat regretful.

In any case, in the continent he was currently in, the Golden Body realm was a legend while the Universe realm was illusory. As long as he did not offend Xiansheng Grotto-heaven, he would still be invincible.

It was fine even if he offended Xiansheng Grotto-heaven!

Jiang Changsheng no longer calculated and focused on consolidating his cultivation.

It lasted for three days and nights before the spiritual energy in his body reached its peak. Compared to before his breakthrough, it was more than ten times stronger. This time, not only did his spiritual energy increase, but the lethality of his spiritual energy also increased.

Jiang Changsheng restrained his Dao pattern and landed in the courtyard.

Hua Jianxin immediately came up and asked about his situation. He chatted with her for a while before Jiang Changsheng returned to his room. He wanted to cultivate the Five Elements Evasion Technique.

After he inherited the memories of the Five Elements Evasion Technique, he sighed at the profundity of that Divine Power.

The Five Elements Evasion Technique could allow one to escape through the ground, fly into the sky, pierce through walls, or escape through water.

Anything in the world could be penetrated unless someone was stronger than Jiang Changsheng and forcefully stopped him.

It was a domineering Divine Power that allowed one to come and go as they pleased!

When Jiang Changsheng began to cultivate the Five Elements Evasion Technique, the news of his tribulation transcendence began to spread to the world.

The population of Great Jing, which had annexed the surrounding dynasties, had exploded, and the capital had become the center of the world. News of the wind and grass in the capital would always spread, not to mention a strange thing like transcending a tribulation.

Intuitively, Jiang Changsheng’s incense points began to increase very quickly.

It was not until the end of the year that the news about Longqi Temple finally calmed down. Jiang Changsheng had also mastered the Five Elements Evasion Technique. He could freely shuttle through the mountains like a fish in water.

He returned to his room and thought about the dragon vein.

The dragon vein was a hidden danger that had to be resolved as soon as possible.

Jiang Changsheng began to use his divine consciousness to investigate underground. After his breakthrough, his divine consciousness had also improved by leaps and bounds. The range of his divine consciousness was far greater than before, and he could easily probe underground. As for how deep it was, he had to give it a try.

His divine consciousness went all the way down until it was nearly fifty thousand feet deep. If it were on the ground, his divine consciousness would cover a wider area. However, the earth contained a lot of spiritual energy, and the deeper and thicker it was, the more it would hinder his divine consciousness.

Just as Jiang Changsheng was somewhat disappointed, he suddenly felt the spiritual energy of the earth surging. Just like the wind in the cave, it flowed upward diagonally.

Could the source of spiritual energy be the dragon vein?

Jiang Changsheng immediately used the Five Elements Evasion Technique to sneak underground.

His speed was very fast, even faster than the speed of a True God. He fled in the direction he had sensed previously.

There was a huge cave hundreds of thousands of feet underground. It was very vast. and there were countless dark holes on the edge-

A huge stone tablet stood in the center of the cave. It was hundreds of meters tall and emitted a faint spiritual light. On the stone tablet was a huge demon that looked like a centipede. It was hideous and terrifying. The scales on its body were black and its feet that numbered in the thousands were green. It had a human body on its head and its hair was disheveled. It was impossible to tell if it was a man or a woman.

It was sound asleep on the stone tablet.

Jiang Changsheng fell from the cave and gently landed on the ground.

The Dao Technique would automatically conceal his aura, so the Thousand-legged Demon did not notice his appearance.

Jiang Changsheng was frightened by the Thousand-legged Demon. What a huge insect!

The spiritual energy here was rather abundant, but unlike the spiritual energy emitted by the Earth Spirit Tree, it was more suitable for martial artists to cultivate. It was relatively low-level, and if Jiang Changsheng were to absorb it, it would affect the purity of his spiritual energy. Other than that, it was also filled with a mysterious aura.

Luck!

Jiang Changsheng thought of this word. Luck was mysterious, soundless, colorless, and odorless. It could not be seen by the naked eye. One had to have a special martial arts technique to sense it.

After reaching the seventh level of the Dao Technique, Jiang Changsheng could already sense that the providence came from under that stone tablet.

The stone tablet was not the dragon vein, but it had suppressed the dragon vein, and that thousand-legged demon was absorbing the luck on the stone tablet.

Tsk tsk, this guy’s demonic power was very strong. It was stronger than all the enemies he had encountered, even stronger than that Golden Body realm expert called Senior Dongfang.

He remembered that this demon was worth 4,000 incense points. From the looks of it, 4,000 incense points was still within the range of the Golden Body realm.

Jiang Changsheng coughed and woke up the Thousand-legged Demon.

The Thousand-legged Demon raised its head and its gaze landed on Jiang Changsheng. Its face was covered with blood patterns and it looked ghastly. Its pair of eyes were even more terrifying. Its scarlet black eyes revealed greed and killing intent.

“Why did you come to the dragon vein?”

Jiang Changsheng asked. There were no other snakes or insects in the cave. Even though the spiritual energy here was abundant, it was also extremely heavy. Ordinary creatures would be crushed into meat paste here.

The Thousand-legged Demon raised its body and looked down at him. In a hoarse voice, it said, “Shouldn’t I be asking you that?”

As soon as it finished speaking, it suddenly rushed towards Jiang Changsheng. Its body was so huge that it was hard to measure its length. Jiang Changsheng was not even as big as one of its feet. Just as it was about to pounce on Jiang Changsheng, he raised his hand and pointed.

Pfft!

The Thousand-legged Demon froze in mid-air and looked at its abdomen in horror. Jiang Changsheng’s qi finger had pierced through its abdomen and dark green liquid surged out. It was extremely disgusting.

Jiang Changsheng said expressionlessly, “Tell me or die.”

The Thousand-legged Demon shrunk back in fright. It sat on the huge stone tablet and stared at him in fear.

“How is this possible… Where did this person come from… Could it be that the martial arts world here is about to recover?”

The Thousand-legged Demon’s heart was filled with fear. He braced himself and said, “I am from Xiansheng Grotto-heaven, a poisonous bug raised by martial artists. The Xiansheng Grotto-heaven once investigated the dragon vein. Even though they returned empty-handed, I stayed underground. One day, I felt the surge of spiritual energy and followed it here… I have been here for nearly a thousand years…”

Jiang Changsheng asked in surprise, “How do you know a thousand years had passed when you are underground?”

The Thousand-legged Demon answered, “I calculated it myself. It might not be accurate.”

Jiang Changsheng:

He then asked, “What’s the origin of this stone tablet?”

The Thousand-legged Demon carefully answered, “I’m not sure…”

“Then do you know that absorbing the luck of the dragon vein will cause the thirteen prefectures to collapse?”

“I don’t know… Senior, please forgive me. I am willing to leave immediately…”

“Then you can leave.”

The Thousand-legged Demon immediately crawled down from the stone tablet and crawled towards the largest hole behind Jiang Changsheng.

When it passed by Jiang Changsheng, it suddenly turned its head and spat out poison towards him like a torrential rain.

Jiang Changsheng did not turn around. He casually waved the Qilin Horsetail Whisk and the strong wind pushed the venom back, spilling it back onto the Thousand-legged Demon.

Oh no!

The Thousand-legged Demon turned pale with fright and immediately fled.

An air-piercing sound was heard!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…

A ray of golden light darted around the cave, back and forth, as if thousands of golden lights were flickering. Two breaths later, the golden light disappeared and the thousand-legged demons turned into pieces of broken limbs that fell to the ground, raising dust clouds.

The Golden-scaled Jade Leaf returned to Jiang Changsheng without a trace of blood.

Jiang Changsheng ignored the corpse of the Thousand-legged Demon and walked to the stone tablet. He noticed that the stone tablet was engraved with dense strange words, but he did not recognize them.

He probed the dragon vein with his divine consciousness and discovered a seal similar to a restriction on cultivation. Once it was broken, the stone tablet would shatter and the boundless luck below would surge up and shatter the land of the thirteen prefectures. At that time, the people would definitely be in a dilemma.

This thing could not be touched.

Jiang Changsheng looked at it for a long time before leaving.

He returned to Longqi Temple and sat on the bed to think.

The seal in the stone tablet was ancient and powerful. Even though he could break it, he felt that he could not undo it before he broke passed the seventh level of the Dao Technique.

In other words, the caster might have surpassed the Universe realm!

Coupled with what Xiao Duotian said, the martial arts world of the thirteen prefectures was at their peak a long time ago. Demons were everywhere. It was obvious that it was left behind by ancient martial artists.

In addition, the spiritual energy of the dragon vein was different from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It was only suitable for martial artists to absorb. Could it be that the dragon vein was artificially made?

In any case, the disaster of the dragon vein was over.

[In the 19th year of the Qianwu Era, you discovered a demon that had devoured the luck of the dragon vein. You tried to stop it and was attacked by it. You survived the calamity and obtained a survival reward—spell, ‘Connate Forest’.] Jiang Changsheng immediately began to inherit this spell.

The Connate Forest Technique could gather connate spiritual energy and quickly grow trees from the soil. However, this process would consume a large amount of spiritual energy.

Wasn’t this too auxiliary?

Jiang Changsheng inwardly complained as an idea surfaced in his mind.

He wanted to move a mountain to the northern gate and build a wooden bridge between the two mountains to send his disciples there. The mountain he lived on would then be the restricted area of Longqi Temple in the future so it would be quieter. Furthermore, by doing this, Longqi Temple could also attract more disciples..
