Chapter 188: Just Give It Some Time (Part Four)

“It’s time to settle the score!”

As this news spread, the already turbulent Second Heaven was stirred up into a frenzy once more.

“Just now, the entire Mystic Sect has fallen, not a single survivor remains, everything inside has been completely cleared out!”

“He actually plans to settle the score; I thought this was all behind us…”

“How could that be? They were so relentless in hunting them back then; now that they’ve won, it’s only natural to settle the score.”

“But with such a clearing, the strong ones in the Second Heaven will directly decrease. Will the monsters and demons from the void invade right away?”

“I heard Lu Ye has a grudge against the monsters too. I wonder if after he settles these sects, he’ll pay a visit to the void? The monsters there are the fiercest, just perfect for his Ten Thousand Souls Banner.”

“Let’s hope so… Thankfully our sect hasn’t been implicated; otherwise, I’d be the one shivering in fear today.”

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion quickly made a move.

They sought out Lu Ye’s whereabouts.

Lu Ye looked over.

“Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist Lu Ye, don’t make a move! I’m from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, and I have something to give you.”

From a distance, an old man hurriedly shouted.

Lu Ye wasn’t the type to kill someone just because he saw them.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was merely an information organization, living off selling various news. The Heavenly Mechanism Mirror was a Chaos Treasure, on par with the Eternal Genius Ranking. The countless smaller Heavenly Mechanism Mirrors derived from it could provide ample sustenance for the various Heavens’ Heavenly Mechanism Pavillons.

“What is it?” Lu Ye asked.

“Spirit Stones!”

“Fellow Daoist must have sensed that while you traveled eighty thousand miles, our Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion took the liberty of using the Heavenly Mechanism Mirror to capture your image. It was not our intention to send a weaker person to their death. And because of the benefits you generated, we’ve brought all of it out, and the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion even doubled it as compensation for you. Please acknowledge this, Fellow Daoist!”

Lu Ye didn’t expect the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to be this reasonable.

Nice, very nice.

“Alright, I’ll take it. Let’s consider our previous dealings finished,” Lu Ye said.

“Oh, thank you, Fellow Daoist! Thank you, Fellow Daoist!”

Lu Ye nodded and didn’t say much more to the fellow from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

He was busy.

Busy killing.

One sect after another was destroyed, and one sect after another ran away.

As for those who fled, let’s not mention it—mainly because he didn’t have the energy to pursue them. He’d kill them next time, maybe.

Even so, he still annihilated fifteen sects in one breath, harvesting abundant resources.

With this, Lu Ye estimated that reaching the mid-stage of the Celestial God realm shouldn’t be a problem.

The timing for condensing the fifth life would be when breaking through to the Destined Realm.

So finding the rare earth treasures to condense the fifth life wasn’t urgent.

Having gathered all the resources,

Lu Ye found a blessed land, set up various formations, and began his cultivation.

Refining artifacts, alchemy, creating talismans, cultivating…

All in one.

He had so many resources, way too many.

They piled up like mountains; the Storage Rings in the void shuttle were stacked into small hills because you couldn’t store a Storage Ring in another Storage Ring—it would easily cause a spatial collision.

But the void shuttle didn’t have such restrictions.

After all, living people could enter.

But with that, it became so messy that Lu Ye thought he’d need to search until the year of the monkey to find what he needed.

It would be better to classify everything, placing all items behind glass, clear at a glance.

The void shuttle quickly changed its form under the flames of Vermilion Bird True Fire.

Everything inside was cleared out by Lu Ye.

Various colored Storage Rings, inlaid with all kinds of gems, shone brightly in the sunlight. If other cultivators saw this pile of stacked Storage Rings, they’d definitely turn green with envy.

And then see their owner and surely frown.

With everything prepared,

“Let’s start cultivating!”

“Ding, cultivation activated!”

Earth Immortal Five!

Earth Immortal Six!

Earth Immortal Seven!

…

Third Heaven.

Jiang Die, under the massive resource influx from the Jiang Family, finally reformed her physical body, with the mother虫 reentering her.

The pain seemed to be over.

After a restore lasting two and a half months, Jiang Die stabilized her power at the first stage of the Destined Realm.

However, Jiang Die couldn’t feel happy at all.

In the cultivation room.

“Celestial Lord Fist!”

With a loud shout, Jiang Die struck out a punch, wind howling.

But that sense of being invincible and dominating everything didn’t materialize.

“Celestial Lord Fist!”

Another punch!

Still nothing.

In this moment, the Celestial Lord Fist was just a sliver of its former self, the real force hadn’t unleashed at all.

As for its power, let’s not even mention it.

After trying hundreds, then thousands of times, Jiang Die finally confirmed.

Her Celestial Lord Fist had become a thing of the past.

The Celestial Lord Fist was gone…

The Celestial Lord Fist was difficult to train, and there were others, others…

Heavenly Connection Fist!

With a sequence of Heavenly Connection Fists, Jiang Die fought like a roaring tiger.

The force was strong, and the form was quite similar.

But still, there was no feeling of connection to the heavens.

The power was predictable, utterly lacking.

One after another, the divine abilities were constantly experimented with by Jiang Die. The more she tried, the heavier her heart became.

This one doesn’t work!

This one doesn’t work either!

This one still doesn’t work!

She had directly transformed from the terrifying skills of the Second Heaven into an empty shell with only flashy moves.

How could Jiang Die accept this?

“Knock knock knock…”

The formation in the cultivation room was knocked on.

Jiang Die, drenched in sweat, stopped her training, not from physical exhaustion, but from mental fatigue.

She took a deep breath.

Her sweat evaporated.

Stepping out of the cultivation room.

The one coming to see her was an elder of the Jiang Family, wearing a warm smile.

“Jiang Die, how’s your recovery? I hope I’m not bothering you!” Jiang Yuan asked with a smile.

His tone was gentle.

“I’ve recovered; it’s fine. I wonder what Elder has come to find me for?” Jiang Die inquired.

Jiang Yuan’s smile became even more amiable.

“Oh, it’s nothing urgent. Many in the clan have heard of your great name, knowing that you are skilled in a hundred methods and possess astonishing potential. They all want to meet you in person, and I’m wondering if you could make an appearance?” Jiang Yuan asked.

Jiang Die furrowed her brows.

“Elder, it’s not that I don’t want to meet; it’s just that I’m currently practicing a secret method and have reached a critical moment. Although Lu Ye has won, he’s not absolutely invincible. Once I finish this secret method, I will fight him, and we’ll see who’s stronger!” Jiang Die said earnestly.

“Me and the others from the Third Heaven will inevitably meet sooner or later, so there’s no rush. Right now is the time for me to reflect on my past shortcomings and strive forward; I truly cannot waste time,” Jiang Die stated.

Jiang Yuan smiled and quickly waved his hand.

“No worries, no worries! I just wanted to ask for your opinion. Cultivating is naturally important right now. You knowing how to rise after falling back is what makes a good Jiang Family child. I’ll help you refuse them.”

“Thank you, Elder. Just give me some time; once I finish this secret method, I will come to meet them.”

“Alright, alright…”
