Chapter 1669: Chapter 1009: Senior Jiang is Awesome_2

Jiang Hui waved his hand: "No need for formalities. It was just a small effort."

These words fell.

Jiang Hui spoke again, sounding like a reminder: "Since you’ve chosen this path, you should persevere. The Bizarre Clan must be eliminated; otherwise, the heavens will never be at peace. If you wish to achieve this, the Immortal Emperor’s Realm is not enough. You need to step into the Sacrificial Path State to have a slight chance."

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan and the others looked solemn.

They all knew well that Jiang Hui’s words were no exaggeration. The foundations of the Bizarre Clan were beyond imagination. Solving it required more than just nearing the end of the path in strength.

"Senior, we will definitely do our utmost to break through to the Sacrifice Path Realm!" Ye Fan said in a deep voice, his tone filled with determination.

Jiang Hui was about to respond when he noticed Gu Chen, Ten Crown King, Banished Immortal, and Stone Toughness looking eagerly from not far away.

They were all his own followers. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that with a single glance, he could tell how many bowls of rice they had for lunch.

They were clearly envious of his recent actions in healing the Heavenly Covering Trio and Shi Hao.

Jiang Hui raised his hand, and four strands of more intense vitality power, like lively dragons, flew towards the four of them.

The moment the vitality power touched them, they felt a warm current flowing through their bodies.

Not only were their injuries healed, but their inner energies also became more substantial, even more so than the effects on the Heavenly Covering Trio and Shi Hao.

They were his loyal disciples, so showing them a little extra care was only natural.

Gu Chen knelt on one knee: "Thank you, Adult."

Ten Crown King clasped his fists respectfully: "Adult, your kindness is etched in my heart; I will surely repay you with my life."

Banished Immortal and Stone Toughness echoed: "I feel the same."

Though they were all old acquaintances, they intentionally acted as if they would die for a confidant, causing Jiang Hui to chuckle helplessly.

However, Jiang Hui never liked too serious an atmosphere, so he let them be.

"You all, stop your performance now. It’s not the first time I’ve healed you."

Seeing their increasingly exaggerated performance, truly evoking the image of an awkward theatrical moment, Jiang Hui couldn’t help but laugh and interrupted them.

The group laughed sheepishly and stopped immediately, then hurriedly bid farewell to Jiang Hui, requesting to go to the closed cultivation area in the village.

This journey above the heavens was perilous at the last moment, and without Jiang Hui’s timely intervention, there might have been the risk of defeat there.

But high risk comes with high reward.

They were among the most powerful prodigies since the beginning of the era, with unparalleled comprehension and talent.

During the battle, they all gained something, which made them eager to verify their gains in secluded cultivation.

Even if they were still unable to break through to the Immortal Emperor’s Realm, they could greatly solidify the foundation of the Quasi-Immortal Emperor Realm.

At this realm, it’s not like the previous realms where proficiency could be gained through practice, nor is it just time accumulation that increases one’s foundation, but life and death crises that are necessary.

Thus, any slight progress and improvement are extremely precious.

Jiang Hui glanced at them, his expression calm, and said, "The journey was perilous, and opportunities rare. Go into seclusion, do not waste what you have comprehended."

The group saluted and then left without delay, heading to the celestial mansion built beside the World Tree.

Wushi naturally followed along.

In the distance, the setting sun, as red as blood, fell on Liu Village, covering the mountains with a veil of dark red.

After the group left, Ye Fan suddenly approached.

"Senior Jiang!" Ye Fan cupped his hands respectfully.

"What’s the matter? Speak freely."

"I dare ask, Senior... above the heavens... what has become of those who fought alongside us?!" Ye Fan asked in a solemn voice.

Asking this question, he couldn’t shake off a faint sense of unease.

Had it been other circumstances, it would’ve been fine, but with primordial level bizarre creatures personally descending, facing such a powerful enemy, the fact that Senior Jiang could save them already implied exerting his utmost effort.

Ensuring everyone could withdraw safely is extremely difficult.

This is not a suspicion of Senior Jiang’s strength but the harsh inevitability of the current situation.

But knowing Dong Chen’s Immortal Emperor for a long time and given his striking resemblance to Duan De, even though Ye Fan knew the odds were slim, he couldn’t help but ask.

Jiang Hui smiled, saying, "Your fellow Daoist and the ten thousand clans’ beings from his Taoist field are currently guests at Qingming Mountain. If you have time, you can pay a visit."

The content of the words was simple.

But to Ye Fan, it sounded like celestial music, truly beyond his expectations. He hadn’t thought Senior Jiang could find the time amid his busy schedule.

"Thank you, Senior Jiang! Dong Chen Immortal Emperor and I have an old friendship. Their safety is all thanks to you, Senior. It’s truly..."

Ye Emperor felt immense gratitude, originally thinking that having Senior Jiang bring them back from such a situation was already the limit, not expecting that even Dong Chen Immortal Emperor and the ten thousand clans’ beings would be saved.

Jiang Hui nodded slightly and smiled slightly: "Go, perhaps that fellow Daoist is also waiting for you."

Ye Fan nodded in agreement, said no more, and swiftly headed towards Qingming Mountain.

Although Qingming Mountain wasn’t nearby, Ye Fan had spent quite a bit of time in the village and, while he might not have visited every place, he was familiar enough with the general area to know the mountain’s location.

Cruel Man did not follow.

Firstly, she preferred to act alone, although she was on close terms with Ye Fan and others, beyond that, it wouldn’t be easy to find any companions with excellent relations with Cruel Man.

Thus, she was not familiar with Dong Chen, and there was no reason for her to approach actively.

Secondly, she had several questions in mind that she wished to ask Jiang Hui in person.

After watching Ye Fan leave, Jiang Hui mused for a moment.

Saving Dong Chen Immortal Emperor and others wasn’t a momentary impulse; it was the result of careful consideration.

Increasing goodwill with Ye Fan was just one aspect.

The most important thing was to disrupt the Bizarre Clan’s plan.

The Emperor Huanfen wasn’t mistaken; instead of waiting passively, it was better to take action.

Staying hidden to grow could be a choice, but if the enemy could grow faster and stronger during this time, there was no point in just hiding.

His actions this time, in a sense, were an attempt to test the sudden actions of the Bizarre Clan during this period.

This move was very correct, as the reality proved.

Through this action, he could almost deduce.

Though the Red-Haired Monster has reawakened from silence, there were still issues to be resolved, rendering it unable to act or act without restraint.

The crazy actions of the Bizarre Clan during this period were likely to solve the Red-Haired Monster’s issue.

The original text also spoke of sacrificing all beings, the Great Taoist, and the era.

The same is true now.

Only the purpose has changed.

But regardless of the purpose, it remains the same for him.

Interrupting the Bizarre Clan’s plan equates to delaying the Red-Haired Monster’s full revival, which naturally benefits Jiang Hui.

Of course, his decision to act was primarily because after fusing the Rule Sprout with the stone jar, his realm, though not improved, undeniably strengthened his innately karma-free concealment techniques.

He would not encounter the previous issue of being dream-searched by the Phantom Primordial Ancestor.

For instance, just now, even acting in front of the Phantom Primordial Ancestor, they could not ascertain his position.

So he could act more freely and boldly.

"Senior Jiang."

At this moment, the voice of the Willow God suddenly interrupted Jiang Hui’s thoughts.

Jiang Hui had long noticed Cruel Man waiting quietly on the side.

As he heard her suddenly speak, he was somewhat surprised.

For someone of her nature, silence would have been more expected.

He looked at Cruel Man, awaiting her to continue.

Cruel Man slightly lifted her head and met Jiang Hui’s gaze. Her eyes contained a unique determination and profundity, as if hiding countless stories and questions.

"Senior, I’ve always contemplated the true meaning of cultivation. Since stepping on this endless path of cultivation, I’ve endured countless hardships, rising from insignificance to defy the heavens and become an emperor. Yet, despite this, the confusion in my heart has never lessened." Her cool and ethereal voice echoed gently on this silent mountain peak.

Jiang Hui nodded slightly, gesturing for her to go on. Cruel Man continued: "I once forged my path with obsession as my guide. But on this path, I’ve lost so much, yet also gained so much. Now, facing an enemy as strong as the Bizarre Clan, I’m increasingly unsure of the cultivation path’s uncertainty. What is the invincibility I pursue, truly for?"
