Chapter 86: If It’s Hard to Handle, Then Don’t Handle It!
In the Jiang family’s territory.
The cave heaven where Jiang Wujì originally lived and cultivated was completely destroyed.
However, the Jiang family was still an ancient cultivator clan with a long history and profound heritage.
The Jiang family dominated the Central State, ruling over a vast area of hundreds of thousands of square miles.
Including other forces that were affiliated with the Jiang family, the situation would be even more terrifying.
A cave heaven might be destroyed, but it can be rebuilt.
Jiang Wujì quickly found another new cave heaven, naming it the Ancestral Jiang Cave Heaven.
Although the spiritual energy was not as dense as before, it was still quite good. Many elders of the Jiang family were arranging a spirit gathering array around the perimeter.
Three days passed in succession.
Jiang Wujì’s injuries had improved slightly. Gu Baihong and others did not dare to really k*ll him; they just vented their anger. They only made him suffer a bit.
After all, during this critical period, if the Heavenly Punishment Sovereign blamed them, no one could bear it.
“Ancestor!”
“The ten thousand bottles of Celestial Dew, fifty million spirit stones, and the juice from the Purple bl**d Treasure Tree that you requested are all here.”
A middle-aged man dressed as a steward, with a plump face, walked in and bowed, saying.
Jiang Wujì frowned slightly, impatiently saying, “Put the items down and get out quickly!”
Previously, those who came before him…
were mostly female relatives of the clan, or concubines of elders, mostly gentle and charming, with full figures.
It was pleasing to the eye.
Recently, those sent to his side were all these stewards. Who were they guarding against?
“Humph!”
Jiang Wujì gritted his teeth, knowing that many elders in the clan had some complaints about him.
He could only temporarily endure it.
As long as he remained the strongest person in the Jiang family, his position would be as solid as a mountain, unshakable.
“I wonder how things are with Chu Jiang?”
Thinking of Chu Jiang, Jiang Wujì’s expression finally eased.
This was the only thing he could take comfort in.
With Chu Jiang around, he didn’t need to worry about searching for Lin Feng.
“Now…”
“The most important thing now is to refine this strange seed essence, to prepare for the upcoming great battle!”
Jiang Wujì muttered softly, his palm flipping.
A crimson sphere emitting a strange aura appeared before him.
Actually, he didn’t know much about this thing.
He only knew that it was left behind by another Great Emperor after being ‘refined’. No matter how powerful one was, eating it would result in control.
It was like opening a back door.
As long as someone else had a thought, they could decide one’s life or d*ath.
As for the strange aura emitted by the strange seed essence, Jiang Wujì didn’t understand its origin either.
Even if Jiang Wujì wasn’t very smart, he didn’t want to refine this thing.
But now, he had no choice.
As lackeys of the Celestial Court, their only advantage was that even if they became Great Emperors, they could remain in the Mortal Realm.
They continued to plunder resources and deal with other Great Emperors.
There was no rush to ascend.
They could wait until their lifespan in the Mortal Realm was exhausted, then ascend to enjoy happiness.
Moreover, not long ago, Jiang Wujì learned a shocking news from the Heavenly Punishment Sovereign.
Unification of the Three Realms!
Just from this name, one could tell that it was something related to the three realms.
However, he couldn’t know more details now.
After some contemplation,
Jiang Wujì no longer hesitated, a determined look flashed in his eyes, and he opened his mouth, swallowing the strange seed essence.
Boom!
Almost instantly, an extremely shocking fluctuation exploded within his body.
Various mysterious laws swirled around him.
Jiang Wujì held his breath, endured the pain, activated his cultivation technique, and slowly refined and absorbed the essence within.

Qingzhou, Heavenly Storm Realm.
Originally, it was just a remote small realm located in the northern part of Qingzhou.

Setting
Simplified Traditional
There are only a few hundred cultivation sects.
The strongest force is the Hengshan Sect, named after the mountain range it resides in.
The sect leader of Hengshan Sect is merely a late-stage Divine Transformation cultivator, which is sufficient in Qingzhou.
But when looking at the entire cultivation world, it is quite ordinary.
Recently.
This place, Heavenly Storm Realm, has been extremely bustling, with top-tier forces gathering here.
The Jade Pool Sacred Land, Liyue Celestial Dynasty, Tai Chu Sacred Land, and the Pei family, these top-tier forces arrived in succession.
Following that…
The ancient clans such as the Jiang family, Hua family, and Zuo family also flocked in droves.
This startled the native sects here!
Those who didn’t know thought something major happened in Heavenly Storm Realm, perhaps a shocking secret realm or a Celestial Mansion relic appeared.
“Headmaster!”
“I’ve looked into it, these forces coming to our Heavenly Storm Realm seem to be searching for something!”
A thin-faced old man hurried into the main hall of the Hengshan Sect, anxiously saying, “What exactly they’re searching for is unknown.”
Headmaster Cheng Yun, who was already worried, was surprised when he heard this and asked, “Searching for something?”
What could be so valuable that so many top-tier forces gathered together?
Certainly not an ordinary item!
“In that case, we don’t have to worry about these forces attacking us.”
Cheng Yun paused, then said, “But if a conflict breaks out, it might affect us too.”
“What should we do?”
“Close the gates of the sect. All disciples shouldn’t go out for training recently. Let them do as they please.”
Cheng Yun sighed, then said, “Remember, no one can offend us. We must cooperate on what’s needed.”
“Cooperate as much as possible!”
The thin-faced old man nodded and said, “I’ll arrange it right away.”

At the same time.
In a mountain range not far from Hengshan Sect.
At this moment, two groups of people were facing off, both showing fierce expressions, unwilling to yield.
Looking at their attire and banners.
One of them was indeed the leader of the Jiang family’s Night Guard, Chu Jiang.
On the opposite side were members of the Xuánxū Gate, led by an elderly man with a slender figure and long eyebrows.
At this moment, Wu Ping’s narrow eyes gleamed with a fierce light, angrily saying, “Chu Jiang, don’t think I’m really afraid of you!”
“Just because the Xuánxū Gate and the Jiang family are connected, if we really fight, it won’t be good for anyone!”
Wu Ping was steady in character, plus he was at the late stage of the Transcendent Stage.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been sent by Gu Baihong to Heavenly Storm Realm.
But today, encountering Chu Jiang, truly made him furious.
They were originally searching in this forest. When the Jiang family arrived, Wu Ping initially didn’t take it seriously.
He thought everyone was on the same team…
But he didn’t expect Chu Jiang to be so arrogant, immediately wanting to drive away the Xuánxū Gate and demanding they stay to search for all the spirit medicines.
This was no different from openly robbing and looting!
In the cultivation world, declaring war!
Chu Jiang was only at the late stage of the Body Integration period, but he wasn’t afraid. Jiang Wang was right behind him, also at the late stage of the Transcendent Stage, ensuring his safety.
He was huge, and said angrily, “I said, this land is claimed by the Jiang family. Hand over the spirit medicines, then leave!”
“Otherwise, we’ll start a fight!”
Wu Ping’s eyes twitched, took a deep breath, and gritted his teeth, saying, “If you want this place, take it!”
“But handing over the spirit medicines is impossible!”
He paused, then said sternly, “Chu Jiang, starting a fight benefits no one. Don’t make it hard for me!”
Wu Ping really didn’t understand.
He suspected that the Chu Jiang in front of him might have trained so hard that his brain turned into muscle, clearly they should be on the same team.
Why randomly attack the Xuánxū Gate?
Even if Jiang Wujì and Gu Baihong had some disagreements, it didn’t actually affect their relationship.
Because their interests were bound together.
Why would the Jiang family provoke the Jade Pool Sacred Land or the Liyue Celestial Dynasty to come here and cause trouble?
Even Jiang Wang, who was standing aside, couldn’t stand it anymore.
He prepared to step forward and mediate, but there was no choice, everything had to follow Chu Jiang’s orders, and Jiang Wang was helpless.
At this moment, Chu Jiang suddenly burst out, holding a battle axe and slashing over, shouting:
“If it’s hard to handle, then don’t handle it!”
“Attack them, drive them away, keep the spirit medicines, and the women too…”
“Let them know who is the first force under the Sovereign’s command!”
