NOVEL NEXT Chapter 438: Teleportation Within Reach
Sun Anming was already about to blow, and the blue-crowned old man's jab pushed him over the edge.
"Idiot! Those ten Nirvana Peering realm experts you're talking about aren't even from our Purple Crest Immortal Sect. This is just another sham you cooked up."
He stepped forward, eyes blazing. "You slithered your way into our territory and somehow got ten Nirvana Peering realm cultivators to follow your lead. But you picked the wrong fight—Jiang Chen cut every last one of them down!"
"And now, to cover your failure and drag our sect's name through the mud, you spread this garbage? Pathetic. Your skin's so thick it's starting to wrinkle. Tell me, old man—how does it feel being a useless sack of bones?"
The blue-crowned old man shook with rage, his finger stabbing the air at Sun Anming.
"Hmph! I see what you're doing. You're spinning this story to pin everything on some so-called genius from the Compassionate Sword Immortal Palace. While the human and demon races are tearing each other apart on the front lines and the Profound Jade Immortal Alliance keeps losing ground, you lot need someone to take the blame!"
He swept a glare over the Purple Crest Immortal Sect crowd. "So you make up this garbage about our 'genius' killing your ten Nirvana Peering realm experts? Ridiculous. If we really had someone like that, do you think we'd throw him into danger? The nonsense coming out of your mouths is unbelievable."
"Nonsense?!" Sun Anming's face went red as he shot back without missing a beat...
Shouts and jabs from the others only stoked the flames, and the air grew heavier by the second.
Both sides were dead sure the other was lying.
For the Purple Crest Immortal Sect, You Shaojun's intel came straight from a Nirvana Peering realm cultivator's dying breath—how could that be wrong?
The Compassionate Sword Immortal Palace side brushed it off just as firmly. They really didn't have any so-called Half-step Nirvana Cleansing realm prodigy.
The back-and-forth only got louder, the argument spiraling into a storm of accusations—but solved nothing.
...
Across the many cultivator cities scattered over the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, public opinion was almost entirely one-sided.
Most people were sure a genius from the Compassionate Sword Immortal Palace had really wiped out the Purple Crest Immortal Sect's ten Nirvana Peering realm experts.
Catching wind of this through his far-reaching divine sense, Jiang Chen chuckled to himself. Looks like the public's buying it. Guess my acting isn't half bad. A sly grin tugged at his lips.
He pulled out a Nirvana Cleansing–level spiritual plant and tossed it into his mouth.
After taking down Bian Zhilin and the other nine Nirvana Peering realm cultivators, his haul of spiritual plants had grown even bigger than after the Burning Sun City battle.
Seven Nirvana Cleansing–level spiritual plants, a hundred ninety-two at the Nirvana Peering level, and over forty-five thousand at the Transcendence level—Jiang Chen's stash had never looked better.
As he flew, Jiang Chen started swallowing the spiritual plants one after another.
In moments, they were all gone.
The Burning World Red Lotus drank in the surge of medicinal power, its third layer of petals blooming out by twelve more pieces.
The Burning World Raging Flames roared to life, now strong enough to be a deadly weapon even within the limits of the Nirvana Cleansing realm.
The Burning World Red Lotus's nourishment pushed both his cultivation and his natural talent higher. His realm leapt forward, brushing close to the Late-stage of Nirvana Cleansing realm.
His aptitude also climbed further within the Peerless Grade, making every step in cultivation and martial arts easier—and far less costly in resources.
Normally, you'd have to survive the Nirvana of the Void Tribulation realm to push your aptitude into the Peerless Grade. But here I am, still in the Nirvana Cleansing realm—and I've gone even higher within that grade. Incredible.
A thrill ran through Jiang Chen.
His attention shifted to the pure cultivation base stored in his bloodline.
After cutting down so many Nirvana Peering realm powerhouses, the amount his Death Calamity Dark Star Moon Dao Embryo could siphon had climbed to a full quarter.
That meant the ten he'd just slain had given him an even richer haul than before.
Death Calamity Dark Star Moon Dao Embryo!
At his thought, the pure cultivation base flooded out, rushing into every cell of his Great Dao Immortal Body.
In an instant, his cultivation shot upward—advancing in moments what would take other Nirvana Cleansing realm cultivators tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years of bitter training.
I'm getting close to the Middle-stage of the Nirvana Cleansing realm, Jiang Chen thought.
A spark of curiosity flashed in his eyes. Will the Purple Crest Immortal Sect keep sending people after me and Lu Yi? And when will the Compassionate Sword Immortal Palace's reinforcements show up?
He pushed the thoughts aside and turned his focus to his qi and blood, planning to explore more cultivation methods with it. Ying Luo, meanwhile, would be using the Space Essence Gold for her own training.
The results were nothing short of shocking. Just one piece had pushed her straight to the Late-stage of the Nirvana Peering realm, nearly at its peak.
Even more impressive, her mastery of the Space Dao had already surpassed Jiang Chen's—both in depth and finesse. She could now pull off three long-distance spatial jumps in a row, an ability that would leave most cultivators speechless.
"Wan'er, Ning'er, find me a suitable cultivation method. And go through the ones we took from our enemies—see if any fit me," Jiang Chen sent through soul communication.
He laid out the trophies he'd stripped from his fallen foes.
Both the Compassionate Sword Immortal Palace and the Purple Crest Immortal Sect were wealthy, their collections full of high-grade techniques. Jiang Chen had no doubt there might be something worth learning among them.
"Got it. Give us a moment," Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning replied before diving into the stack of manuals.
Before long, they pulled out one in particular—Space Imperial Law Immortal Art.
It was a rare and profound space cultivation method, highly valued even among Nirvana Cleansing realm powerhouses.
Wordless Heavenly Jade!
Trusting Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning's choice completely, Jiang Chen willed the jade to begin cultivating the selected art.
As always, one full pass through the method inside his Sea of Consciousness was all he needed.
Moments later, every word of the Space Imperial Law Immortal Art was etched into his memory.
The Wordless Heavenly Jade went to work, converting his vast qi and blood energy into something mysterious, pouring it straight into his body and soul.
Boom!
A flood of knowledge and profound insights erupted in his mind, swirling and colliding like a raging storm. Every clash sparked new realizations, weaving together into something deeper.
In just a few breaths, his understanding of the Space Dao soared to a whole new height.
So this is the true essence of space law... fascinating. With this, I can move through space like Ying Luo—instant teleportation. A faint smile tugged at his lips as his Immortal Origin Power began to circulate.
Spatial energy surged around him, and the air rippled.
His figure blurred—and in the blink of an eye, he was gone, reappearing ten million kilometers away.
