I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods

Chapter 740 Giving You a Quick Death

[Ding! Primordial Chaos Strike: This strike combines primordial energy with one's own cultivation to unleash a powerful attack. Its power increases with cultivation level and mastery of the technique. Currently, it can penetrate the defenses of a late-stage Golden Immortal. How to use: Activate the third level of the Nine Extremes Primordial Chaos Technique, gather primordial energy in your palm, and unleash it with full power.]

Jiang Wang smiled smugly, his voice filled with excitement: "Great! With such a powerful skill, I won't have to rely solely on the Vermilion Bird Flame when I encounter enemies in the future. With the Primordial Chaos Strike combined with the Vermilion Bird Flame, I can defeat even a late-stage Golden Immortal cultivator, and even kill them instantly!"

Just then, a familiar voice came from afar, tinged with doubt and surprise: "Little Tu? What are you doing here? What was that loud noise and that menacing aura just now?"

Jiang Wang looked up and saw a handsome man dressed in white, holding a whisk, flying towards him. The man had an otherworldly air about him and exuded a faint aura of immortality. It was none other than Taibai Jinxing. A look of doubt appeared on Jiang Wang's face, and his tone was filled with curiosity: "Taibai Jinxing? Why are you in the Auspicious Realm? Aren't you working in the Heavenly Court?"

Venus flew to Jiang Wang, looked him up and down, and her eyes were full of surprise: "You kid, how did your cultivation improve so quickly? Last time I saw you, you were only at the early stage of Golden Immortal, and now you've broken through to the middle stage of Golden Immortal? Moreover, how come you have Primordial Chaos Qi and Vermilion Bird Origin Power on your body? Also, that fierce aura just now, it was the aura of the Chaos Beast Taotie. Could it be that Taotie broke into the Auspicious Realm? Did you repel it?"

Jiang Wang nodded, a hint of pride in his voice: "That's right, it was I who repelled the Taotie. That guy wanted to devour the primordial energy of the Auspicious Realm, but I repelled him with the Vermilion Bird Fire and the Primordial Strike. As for my cultivation level, it's all from my hard work, and these powers are all things I was born with. How about that, impressive, right?"

Taibai Jinxing's face showed a shocked expression, his tone full of disbelief: "You? You repelled Taotie? That's impossible, isn't it? Taotie is a chaotic beast at the Quasi-Saint level. Even I might not be able to repel it. How could you, a mid-stage Golden Immortal cultivator, possibly do it?"

Jiang Wang curled his lip, his tone full of disdain: "What's impossible about it? I have special methods and the blessing of divine artifacts. It's a piece of cake for me to repel a Taotie that has just broken free from suppression and whose cultivation has not yet recovered. By the way, Taibai Jinxing, what exactly did you come to the Auspicious Realm for? You couldn't have come just to see me, could you?"

Taibai Jinxing suppressed his shock and his tone became solemn: "I have come here on the orders of the Jade Emperor to investigate the situation in the Auspicious Realm. Recently, the Heavenly Court has noticed abnormalities in the aura at the edge of chaos and is worried that chaotic beasts may invade the myriad realms and harm living beings. Therefore, they sent me to the Auspicious Realm to take a look. After all, the Auspicious Realm is the origin of primordial chaos. If it is destroyed by chaotic beasts, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Jiang Wang nodded, his tone revealing a hint of understanding: "I see. No wonder you came here. But don't worry, I've already repelled Taotie. He won't be coming to the Auspicious Realm for the time being. However, he said he'll come back for revenge once he recovers his cultivation. At that time, he might bring even greater trouble."

"The Taotie actually said it wanted to come back for revenge?"

Taibai Jinxing frowned, his tone tinged with worry. "This is not good. Taotie is incredibly powerful. If he recovers his cultivation, not to mention you, even if the Heavenly Court sends a large army, they might not be able to withstand him. No, I must return to the Heavenly Court immediately to report this to the Jade Emperor and ask him to make preparations as soon as possible and send powerful warriors to protect the Auspicious Realm."

Jiang Wang shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of confidence: "No need for such trouble, Taibai Jinxing. Don't worry, by the time Taotie returns, I will have already cultivated to a higher realm. At that time, I can deal with him by myself without troubling the Heavenly Court. Moreover, the Auspicious Realm is protected by the will of the Great Dao, so even if Taotie recovers his cultivation, he will not dare to easily break in."

Taibai Jinxing was still somewhat worried, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity: "Although you are powerful, Taotie is, after all, a ferocious beast at the Quasi-Saint level. You cannot be careless. Here's what I'll do: I'll return to the Heavenly Court to report this matter. At the same time, I'll request the Jade Emperor to send a few late-stage Golden Immortal cultivators to the Auspicious Realm to assist you, so that you can have someone to look after you. In case Taotie returns ahead of schedule, you'll have someone to help you."

Jiang Wang thought for a moment and nodded: "Alright, since you insist, then we'll do as you say. But let me make this clear first, those Heavenly Court cultivators, once they arrive, cannot interfere with my affairs, nor can they run amok in the Auspicious Realm. Otherwise, I don't care what kind of Heavenly Court cultivators they are, I'll show no mercy to them."

Taibai Jinxing smiled, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Don't worry, I'll instruct them. They're only here to help you protect the Auspicious Realm. They won't interfere in your affairs or do anything reckless. By the way, Tu Xiaonai, did you obtain any fortuitous encounters in the Auspicious Realm this time? I see that the Primordial Qi on your body is even more concentrated than that of ordinary Primordial cultivators, and your cultivation technique is definitely not an ordinary one."

Jiang Wang's heart tightened, realizing he had almost given himself away. He quickly covered it up, saying, "I didn't have any special opportunities. I just cultivated in the Auspicious Realm for a while and comprehended some of the Primordial Dao. The cultivation technique is also passed down from my ancestors, nothing special. By the way, Venus, if you don't have anything else to do, hurry back to the Heavenly Court to report, lest you delay things. If Taotie really comes back, it will be troublesome."

Taibai Jinxing didn't think much of it and nodded: "Alright, then I'll return to the Heavenly Court first. Take good care of yourself. If you encounter any trouble, contact me immediately using the communication talisman. I will send someone to support you as soon as possible. Also, the Jade Emperor said that if you can successfully protect the Auspicious Realm and stop the Chaos Beasts from harming all the heavens and myriad realms, the Heavenly Court will give you a generous reward, appointing you as the Marquis of Auspiciousness and allowing you to enjoy the Heavenly Court's salary."

"The Marquis of Auspicious Omens? He even receives a salary from the Heavenly Court?"

Jiang Wang's eyes lit up, his tone full of excitement, "Great! I didn't expect there to be such a benefit. Don't worry, I will definitely protect the Auspicious Realm well and not let the Chaos Beasts take advantage of it. When the time comes, don't forget to remind the Jade Emperor to give me the reward."

Venus smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't forget. Alright, I'll be going now. Take care."

After saying this, Venus waved his whisk, turned around and flew towards the Heavenly Court, quickly disappearing into the horizon.

Jiang Wang watched Taibai Jinxing's disappearing figure, a smug smile appearing on his face. He muttered to himself, "The Marquis of Auspicious Omens? Sounds pretty good. With the Heavenly Court's reward, I'll have a status and position in all the heavens and myriad realms. Even if I encounter any Heavenly Court cultivators, I won't be afraid of them anymore."

Just then, the voice of the Great Dao's will reached Jiang Wang's ears again, with a hint of praise in its tone: "Little Tu, you did a great job. You successfully repelled the Taotie and protected the boundary of the Auspicious Realm. You did not fail the Primordial Oath you made. This time, you not only improved your cultivation but also gained the recognition of the Heavenly Court, which is a good thing."

Jiang Wang smiled, a hint of smugness in his voice: "Of course, don't you know who I am? But, Great Dao Will, I repelled the Taotie, is there any reward? The Heavenly Court has already given me a reward, you can't be stingy, can you?" The Great Dao Will was silent for a moment, a hint of helplessness in his voice: "You little rascal, you're quite greedy. However, you have indeed rendered meritorious service this time, so I will give you another reward: Primordial Origin Qi +5000, Great Dao Comprehension +1000. In addition, you are allowed to enter the depths of the Great Dao Secret Realm, where there are more Primordial Opportunities that can help you improve your cultivation and progress in comprehending techniques."

Jiang Wang's face lit up with a delighted smile, his tone filled with excitement: "That's wonderful! Thank you so much, Great Dao Will. You are so generous. The Primordial Qi and the Great Dao insights can help me improve my cultivation and progress in comprehending techniques. Also, I've been wanting to go deep into the Great Dao Secret Realm for a long time. Now I finally have the chance."

"However, you must remember that the depths of the Great Dao Secret Realm are fraught with danger. Not only are there powerful restrictions, but there are also many ferocious beasts of the Primordial Chaos. With your current cultivation level, entering it will still be very dangerous,"

The tone of the Great Dao's will became serious, "You can cultivate in the core area of ​​the Auspicious Realm for a period of time to improve your cultivation and become familiar with the power of the first three levels of the Nine Extremes Primordial Technique. It won't be too late to enter the depths of the Great Dao Secret Realm once your cultivation reaches the late Golden Immortal stage."

Jiang Wang nodded, his tone serious: "I understand. Thank you for the reminder from the Great Dao Will. I will not rush into things. I will first cultivate in the core area to improve my cultivation and familiarize myself with the techniques and skills. Once I have enough strength, I will enter the depths of the Great Dao Secret Realm to seek more opportunities."

"Yes, I'm glad you understand."

The tone of the Great Dao's will softened somewhat, "The core area of ​​the Auspicious Realm is rich in primordial energy and blessed by the power of the Great Dao. Cultivation there will be much faster than in other places. Just focus on your cultivation there. If you encounter any more chaotic beasts that break in, remember to notify me immediately. Do not act recklessly on your own."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't act recklessly on my own,"

Jiang Wang nodded, his tone carrying a hint of assurance, "If we encounter another Chaos Beast, I'll run away if I can't beat it, and then notify you so you can take care of it. After all, you are the Great Dao Will of the Auspicious Realm, so dealing with those Chaos Beasts is a piece of cake for you."

The Great Dao's will did not respond again, clearly falling silent once more. Jiang Wang smiled, turned, and flew towards the core area of ​​the Auspicious Realm. As he flew, he muttered to himself, "Mid-stage Golden Immortal, 12% progress in comprehending cultivation techniques, and with so much Primordial Chaos Origin Qi and Great Dao insights, I believe it won't be long before I break through to the late-stage Golden Immortal realm and comprehend even more cultivation techniques and skills. At that time, even if Taotie returns, I can easily deal with him, and might even be able to kill him instantly!"

Before long, Jiang Wang flew to the core area of ​​the Auspicious Realm. The primordial energy here was several times denser than at the border. He could even see primordial light spots floating in the air. The surrounding environment was also very beautiful, with green mountains and clear waters, and clouds and mist swirling around, like a fairyland on earth. Moreover, the power of the Great Dao here was also very dense, making people feel comfortable all over. Cultivation here could be twice as effective with half the effort.

Jiang Wang found a secluded mountain peak, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to circulate the "Nine Extremes Primordial Chaos Technique," absorbing the surrounding primordial energy and the power of the Great Dao. At the same time, he comprehended the Great Dao insights rewarded by the system, improving his progress in comprehending the technique.

Not long after he began practicing the technique, Jiang Wang felt a rich primordial energy slowly flowing into his body through his pores, merging with the primordial energy within him, continuously nourishing his meridians and dantian. His cultivation level was also slowly improving, and his progress in comprehending the technique was also gradually increasing.

"The primordial energy here is indeed much denser than at the border. It's so comfortable to cultivate here,"

Jiang Wang muttered to himself, a contented expression on his face, "I believe it won't be long before I break through to the late stage of Golden Immortal. At that time, I will be able to enter the depths of the Great Dao Secret Realm to seek more opportunities, and even comprehend the fourth level of the Nine Extremes Primordial Technique."

Just then, a strange voice suddenly rang in his mind, carrying a hint of coldness and eeriness: "Hehe, I didn't expect that there would be such a gifted little fellow in the Auspicious Realm. Not only has he cultivated the Primordial Chaos Technique, but he also possesses the power of the Vermilion Bird's origin. It's truly heaven's help. As long as I devour you, my cultivation will recover quickly, and I might even be able to break through to the Saint Realm!"

Jiang Wang's expression changed, and he immediately opened his eyes, activating the Vermilion Bird Eye. He looked around but saw no one. His tone was full of vigilance: "Who? Who's speaking? Come out now! Stop hiding! If you have the guts, come out and fight me head-on! What kind of skill is it to play dirty tricks!" The unfamiliar voice rang out again, still carrying a hint of coldness and eeriness, elusive and making it impossible to pinpoint its exact location: "Hehe, little guy, don't waste your energy. You can't see me. I am a Primordial Ghost, formless and intangible, able to traverse the Primordial Chaos. Even with the Vermilion Bird Eye, you can't see me. Today, you'll obediently be devoured by me. I'll give you a quick death."

"The Primordial Ghost?"

Jiang Wang frowned, his tone tinged with doubt and wariness. "What is that thing? I've never heard of it before. And since you are formless and intangible, how can you devour me? Stop playing tricks on me. If you have the ability, come out. Otherwise, I'll use the Vermilion Bird Fire to force you out!"

"Heh, the Vermilion Bird's Flame?"

The voice of the Primordial Ghost carried a hint of mockery, "You think you can force me out with your Vermilion Bird Fire? That's wishful thinking. My true form is formless and intangible, so the Vermilion Bird Fire can't harm me at all. On the contrary, I can easily devour your Vermilion Bird Fire, devour your Primordial Qi, devour your sea of ​​consciousness, and make you completely become my nourishment."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Wang felt a chilling power surge from the surrounding air, attacking his sea of ​​consciousness. That power was icy cold, carrying a devouring force, attempting to penetrate his sea of ​​consciousness and devour his soul. (End of Chapter)
