Chapter 538: Chapter 475: Strong Power
’Perfect timing. I needed a sparring partner!’
With a flicker of thought, Wang Zijia stopped running, instead turning around to fight with the demon.
"Roar!"
"Boom, Boom!"
Explosions erupted continuously, crystal sand filled the air.
The Five Ghosts also materialized, launching a six-on-one hybrid attack mode.
The demon was instantly suppressed. It had weak abilities, no talent, and looked like a super soldier, turning it into a practice dummy.
And a very resilient practice dummy too!
"Whoa!"
After a battle of nearly seven minutes, the huge commotion attracted a bunch of other demons and a fierce beast in nascent god stage.
Seeing this, Wang Zijia didn’t continue to delay.
After all, this was the depths of the Zhongshan Range which hadn’t been cleared out in a thousand years, filled with numerous unusual demons. He didn’t want to accidentally trigger a minor demon tide.
"Let’s try my last resort!"
’Faux Spirit Borrow Way: Ancient Transport Formation!’
A vague and illusionary Old Taoist materialized behind Wang Zijia, similar to the arrival of a God adorned in divine robes, it conferred blessings upon Wang Zijia’s body.
"Boom!"
Wang Zijia’s aura skyrocketed, instantaneously breaking through the middle and later stages of nascent god, reaching the pinnacle of nascent god.
Feeling the spells hazily sensed through the blessings of the faux spirit, although he had no relevant insights, he felt as if he could use them.
And because of his demon seeding’s clear understanding of the opponent’s information, he was familiar with these hazily sensed spells.
With an slightly awkward wave of his hand, the Five Ghosts turned into ghost fog and quickly gathered into a crystal red three-foot long, green-edged blade in Wang Zijia’s hand.
"Let’s test this attack!"
’Sword Dao: Seven Swords to Cut the Sky!’
The long sword in his hand transformed into several meter long Sword Qi and was slashed down with full force.
"Phoosh!"
"Boom..."
Along with Wang Zijia’s slash, the demon used as a punching bag was directly split into halves, including the dozen or so meters of wilderness below.
A colossal sword mark crevice appeared, with Sword Qi running rampant.
The deformed demon writhed continuously, but due to the rampage of Sword Qi within its body, it gradually approached death.
"Gulp!"
Chu Ziyu, who was watching on the side, unconsciously swallowed, looking at Wang Zijia who suddenly exploded with the cultivation of a nascent god, his face filled with shock!
This isn’t a pseudo-infant. It’s a genuine nascent god, and perhaps not just an early stage Infant God Monarch!!!
Wang Zijia’s aura quickly fell back, returning to his previous state.
’With triple Dantian, can I only slash about ten times with such an attack?’
’Well, for Gu Yuncheng, the Seven Swords to Cut the Sky was a vital skill after all!’
While Wang Zijia was pondering this, the long sword in his hand had already disintegrated, and the Five Ghosts transformed into ghost fog, sealing up the demon corpse and turning it into book pages.
"Let’s go. If we keep this up, we might really trigger a small demon tide," Wang Zijia said as he came back to his senses.
As for staying to slay for ten days and a half... it’s faster to make money by making nascent god level Void Spirit Jade Talismans!
He started collecting Nether Corpses by himself, due to efficiency issues, he continuously optimized it and gradually evolved to his current optimal mode of letting disciples collect corpses.
Could a battlefield compare with him alone?
With his current cultivation, it would be the most brainless and foolish operation to go out himself.
"Ah...uh..."
Chu Ziyu only then came to his senses, immediately activated his magic tool and left.
As they continuously moved outward, the demons became progressively weaker. Thanks to Wang Zijia’s methods, their speed began to increase.
Gradually, they no longer needed to decrease their speed.
Consequently, even though it usually took two days to cover this distance leisurely, the two of them managed to cross the Zhongshan Range in less than half a day.
They entered the territory of the Border Dynasty.
From here on out, they had essentially entered the area of Changbao.
Subsequent wilderness intervals between dynasties with demons no longer posed a threat to Wang Zijia and the others, and the two of them didn’t decrease their speed anymore.
In the middle of their rapid journey, Wang Zijia would occasionally obliterate all pursuing demons with one wave of his sword when sensing too many of them.
In the midst of the explosions, ghost fog filled the air, leaving not even the tiniest bit of debris behind.
Only at this moment did Wang Zijia realize clearly that his combat power had more than doubled or tripled!!!
The promotion to infant god along with the faux spirit’s talent had boosted his combat prowess by at least ten times!
After rushing for most of the day, they finally saw their long-awaited destination, which they had gone through numerous ups and downs over half a month to reach.
This trip out the door, going back and forth... It really hasn’t been easy!
······
Changbao State, being an enclave of Daqian, had long been granted to vassal states by Daqian.
This place had evolved over countless years, and had already become a cultivator nation.
While immortals and mortals coexisted to an extreme extent, Changbao, on the surface, still seemed like a feudal state. It had in fact been carved up by the eleven families of Changbao.
Changbao State was divided into seven provinces.
Apart from the central province, which had always been under the control of the royal family, three of the provinces were controlled by three Nascent God families, and the remaining three cities were divided among the seven families.
These eleven families were all once Nascent God families.
Of course, apart from the royal family and the three major families that each controlled a province, other surviving families either had only the power of a Nascent God, or had elders who had given up advancement, introducing pseudo-infants to the world.
Anyway, on the surface, all seven families appeared to have a broken line of Nascent Gods.
The Chu family was one of these seven broken-line families, controlling Qinghe City along with the Murong family, and the Li family.
The remaining four families controlled the other two provinces.
They were the three most declining families among the eleven, all left with only pseudo-infant level power.
As Chu Jiefu, a pseudo-Nascent-level Magic King, had been in seclusion for seven years, due to recent fluctuations in the situation, the other two families had been acting frequently, causing troubles for the Chu family.
······
When Wang Zijia and Chu Ziyu arrived at Qinghe City, it was already evening, and the sky was gradually darkening.
As Wang Zijia had just arrived, he planned to first observe the situation in Qinghe City, and therefore he did not appear ostentatiously.
Instead, he descended from a cloud outside the city, and along with Chu Ziyu, paid the entry tax and entered Qinghe City like two ordinary people.
At this moment, the sun had set, and it was just the beginning of light.
The streets of the entire city were very lively.
"Come have a look!"
"Puff······"
"Sugar figurines! Sugar figurines for sale!"
"······"
Performers breathing fire, all kinds of snack vendors, and a continuous flow of people coupled with a bit of mystery, made the city full of life.
What surprised Wang Zijia was that he actually saw several ’cultivators’!
Martial artists who had developed inner qi, or monks who had practiced for only a year or two, were performing magic techniques that they probably obtained from some heterodox or illusion technique.
There were not just one or two such people; Wang Zijia saw several places with performers like these.
Of course, the spells they used were super rubbish, only marginally passable as magic, but they were still spells!
After sensing for a moment, Wang Zijia clearly perceived that these performers either had a human pill method implanted in them, or had a not insignificant amount of pollution settled in them.
They should have received an extremely incomplete and polluted method inheritance from somewhere and, in doing so, barely stepped into the threshold of cultivation.
Spectating these events, Wang Zijia gradually began to understand the situation in Changbao State.
Daqian doesn’t distinguish between immortals and mortal beings. After cohabitation for many years, the currency system is also mixed between immortals and mortals. In Changbao, because of its unique geography, even this was more relaxed.
Given the complicated regional environment, with heterodox and devil cultivators running rampant, it’s "easy" for the lower levels to get various inheritance opportunities. However...
These miracles from heaven are mostly dirty, often being unknowingly refined into essence pills in other people’s gourds, or become valuable medicinal ingredients, with several copies of inheritance attached!
In the eyes of evil and devil cultivators, the return from farming and raising spirits definitely can’t compete with the speed and scale of cultivating humans for pills.
While cultivating "big medicine", they can constantly copy the secret scriptures, spreading them like seeds. Every disciple is an excellent crop!
Because of such conditions, the heterodox are extremely rampant in Changbao.
From the fact that the Chu family excels at repelling, it can be seen that any of the eleven families controlling Changbao, if they don’t have some heterodox means, would be embarrassed to say that they are mixed up in Changbao State.
······
A meeting was underway in the Chu family’s hall at this moment.
Not only were all the clan elders present, but the only two True Men in the clan also attended, one old and one young.
Apart from Chu Jiefu, who was in "closed-door cultivation", all the high-ranking members were present.
The room was somewhat silent, which made the atmosphere quite stifling.
At the center of the hall, three disciples of the Chu family, who had reached the peak strength of childhood, knelt in fear.
After a long time, the Great Elder, the highest-ranked cultivator among the clan elders, who had achieved the Peak Wine Ceremony, asked the three once again:
"Are you sure that the seventh child was killed by a ghost who lured his soul away, and then her body was burned?"
"To answer the Great Elder, we disciples are certain."
"Why do we still need to ask? Don’t we already know that in our Qinghe City, apart from the Murong family, no other family knows the heterodox method of exorcising and catching souls!"
"Right, half a year ago, they started acting against our collateral disciples successively. Now, they have moved to our direct descendants. In my opinion, we should go all out with them."
"What do we use to go all out? Even if Murong Cheng was going to die, he was still a top-ranked expert at the same level as the head of the family. The family has three True Men. How do you think we should fight?"
"So do we just continue to tolerate? Being consumed bit by bit?"
"If we can’t endure, what else can we do? But we still need to respond, find a displeasing Demon Dao, kill it and let it take the blame."
"If we keep allowing them to probe us like this, we are seeking our own death!"
"Then what do you suggest? Do we even have the potential to fight a hard battle given our current situation?"
"Where is the young clan leader? We should call the clan leader out!"
"······"
A large family of people were talking about this, their opinions completely divided.
But the majority clearly tended towards enduring. It wasn’t that all of them were afraid of death. Rather, the Chu family no longer had the capability to fight to the death.
