Chapter 878 -431 Godlike Image True Body Great Success! The True Longevity?_4
“`
Above the Nine Skies, the Chain of the Great Dao appeared, penetrating the heavens, with golden thunderbolts spreading across a million miles.
Such an anomaly flashed by in an instant, drawing the gaze of innumerable eyes from the Western Wilderness.
However, amidst the scrutiny of these Supreme Powers, there was nothing out of the ordinary beneath the spreading order of divine thunder.
Streams of divine sense collided and converged in the voidness, and then, in an instant, they withdrew.
Unable to discover, unable to probe.
This was sufficient to prove that the unknown power surpassing them did not wish to be found.
To provoke such a formidable enemy was too unwise!
At this moment.
In the primeval forest.
A momentary flash of anger crossed the face of the Ancestral Master within the maw of the golden lion before returning to calm.
This Ancestral Master was none other than the renowned Nine Spirit Primal Saint.
Also, the Golden Nine-Headed Lion!
The very existence that vied for dominance with the golden-winged roc in the Southern Ridges.
The reason he had only eight heads was that one had been split off by him, transforming into Yuan Tuo of the Three Heavens to enter the Ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
Now, as his heart returned to calm, the anomaly that had shrouded a million miles disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.
“It’s nothing! One of my avatars has been slain! This has now caused my cultivation to suffer, and I will need decades to return to my peak!”
The Nine Spirit Primal Saint said in a tranquil tone.
But in his heart, he was still seething with anger.
By this time, he was already aware of everything that had happened In the Ancient Heavenly Court, including that Jiang Yuan had destroyed his avatar.
Regarding this, he felt extremely helpless.
In the outer world, even though that avatar was of the realm of the Three Heavens, it wouldn’t have feared even a demon saint of the Fifth Heaven.
But the Ancient Heavenly Court Ruins were a place where the Great Dao ceased to exist.
His means and Divine Skills were too greatly restricted.
Falling into the hands of Jiang Yuan, he had no means against such a powerful body.
He had not even considered that Jiang Yuan could recognize his identity and still dare to slay his avatar.
This was completely beyond his expectations.
Though Jiang Yuan was strong, he relied upon the special environment of the Ancient Heavenly Court and his incredibly powerful physical body.
In his eyes, this was merely a minor path.
He was also aware of Dugu Bo’s research, that the so-called Flesh Body Path, when taken to its extreme, could at best be deemed as equal to an ordinary Saint.
What use was that?
In terms of various means, an ordinary Saint could easily toy with such a simplistic cultivation based on brute force.
Even the strongest physical body was incapable of slaying any ordinary demon saint.
Jiang Yuan’s formidable combat power within the Ancient Heavenly Court was solely because that place was where the Great Dao did not exist.
The restrictions on Saints of the Great Dao were too severe.
And there were no such restrictions on the physical body.
Once outside, it would be entirely different.
Jiang Yuan would at most be invincible only among those of the Cave Realm, and his path at its strongest would end there. What was the use in that?
As for becoming a Saint, it was not so simple.
Jiang Yuan’s strength lay in his physical body, and at this time, his realm was at most at the early stages of the Cave Realm.
With such strong talent, he still needed an extremely long period of cultivation to grow strong enough not to fear his level of capabilities.
Grasping the Great Dao is not so straightforward.
Thus, he completely failed to comprehend why Jiang Yuan would dare to incur such an inviolable enmity!
To destroy his Dao body was to impede his path to enlightenment.
This enmity was greater than all others, a vendetta that demanded death!
Why would Jiang Yuan be so foolish to make this choice?
On such a long Cultivator’s Pathway, he could strike at Jiang Yuan countless times.
Even if Dugu Bo protected him, what then?
Even the densest defenses have their flaws!
As long as he succeeded once, Jiang Yuan would fall.
At that moment, the Golden Lion heard these words and was instantly shocked.
“What?” He then hastily asked, “Ancestral Master, who was it that slashed your Dao body?”
“Jiang Yuan!” The Nine Spirit Primal Saint said indifferently.
“What?” The Golden Lion was shocked again, his eyes widening in astonishment.
He was very familiar with this name, after all, Jiang Yuan was the most prominent Pride of the Human Race recently, an existence listed on the Supreme Ranking alongside him.
But to hear this name from the Ancestral Master was completely unexpected.
What kind of existence was the Ancestral Master?
An existence that once contended with the Southern Ridge Demon Emperor, the only Supreme of this era.
And Jiang Yuan?
Among the younger generation, he was also the youngest.
Logically, there should be no intersection between them at all!
They were not existences of the same level.
But now, he was hearing Jiang Yuan’s name from his own Ancestral Master, and moreover, the Ancestral Master’s Dao body was destroyed by Jiang Yuan.
That is to say, the Ancestral Master had fallen at the hands of Jiang Yuan.
His heart was suddenly overwhelmed by a storm of shock.
If this statement had come from anyone else, he would not have believed it at all!
But this statement came from his own Ancestral Master, and he had to believe it.
The Nine Spirit Primal Saint looked at the most outstanding heaven genius among the descendants of the Golden Lion’s lineage and was suddenly filled with complex emotions.
Regardless,
The injuries Jiang Yuan, the young pride, caused to himself were severe, slashing away one of his lives and greatly damaging his cultivation.
One must know, up until this point, he had only lost two lives in total.
One of those lives was taken by the Southern Ridge Demon Emperor, the Golden-Winged Great Peng.
And he used this as a reason to retreat from the mundane world.
Just having recovered back to his peak, his second life was taken by Jiang Yuan.
Although the impact this time was slightly less significant, recovering back to the pinnacle would again take decades of time.
“Ancestral Master, how did he manage to do it?” The Golden Lion asked again, voicing the doubts in his heart.
He then hastily added, “My apologies if I am being presumptuous!”
“Not at all!” The Nine Spirit Primal Saint replied indifferently, shaking his head.
He then calmly relayed, “This young man inherited Dugu Bo’s mantle, his physical body likely opened the Five Great Secret Realms, reaching a level comparable to that of ordinary Saints!”
“In the Ancient Heavenly Court Ruins, my Dao body was suppressed, unable to fully exert its strength. Encountering such a flesh-body Saint was simply bad luck.”
Hearing this, the Golden Lion sighed and said, “He has actually reached this stage! I am not his match!”
“Do not be disheartened!” The Nine Spirit Primal Saint said indifferently, “The Cultivation Path is full of obstacles and is long. Being ahead for a moment doesn’t amount to much! Your only enemy is yourself; as long as you continuously surpass yourself, always moving forward,”
“One day when you look back, you’ll see that all mortals are behind you, only able to look up at your back.”
“Understood! Thank you for your teachings, Ancestral Master!” The Golden Lion said respectfully.
…
Ancient Heavenly Court Ruins.
Jiang Yuan waited quietly for a moment, then saw that the Power of Merit in his Personal Dashboard had not decreased but instead he had acquired a full hundred.
[Merit]: 100
After glancing at his Status Panel, he nodded in satisfaction.
Even though he did not receive any increase in cultivation due to the absence of the dispersal of the Cave Heaven Origin after Yuan Tuo’s fall,
Killing the embodiment of the Nine Spirit Primal Saint still awarded him a hundred threads of the Power of Merit, thus his action of offending him was worth it.
Owing too much doesn’t worry the debtor, as long as I timely boost my own capabilities, what does offending a few Strong Ones matter?
As long as I am powerful enough, those enemies will only greet me with a smile upon encountering me.
“This was an embodiment of the Nine Spirit Primal Saint?” Ye Chanxi, witnessing this scene, wore a look of astonishment.
“Mhm!” Jiang Yuan nodded, then continued, “That demon saint was an embodiment of the Nine Spirit Primal Saint! No wonder there was no dispersal of Cave Heaven Origin.”
Ye Chanxi immediately frowned.
“In this case, your killing him brought no benefits and only made you offend a top-tier Great Saint for nothing!”
Jiang Yuan smiled, “It’s fine! Debt frets not the indebted! Besides, killing him wasn’t entirely without benefit; at least it counts as a significant merit.”
Ye Chanxi:
