Chapter 1634: Chapter 1260: Over One Million Qi-Blood, Dominating the Same Rank
If he wanted to go to Heavenly Gate to rescue Wu Ming, naturally the sooner the better.
But haste without proper preparation would evolve into another outcome—more haste, less speed.
Both Jiang Dali and the Sword Saint could understand this.
So after Jiang Dali stated this, the Sword Saint agreed, but sternly rejected Jiang Dali’s idea of "switching to another flesh shell" to fight. If the proposer weren’t Jiang Dali, the Sword Saint would probably have felt insulted and rewarded him with a sword strike.
This result was not beyond Jiang Dali’s expectations. It was equivalent to someone suggesting to him, "Since you’re strong, why don’t you swing a hammer and be a blacksmith?" The damage wasn’t big, but the insult was very strong.
Therefore, as for the idea regarding Guang Chengzi’s Immortal Bone Relics, Jiang Dali had no choice but to temporarily suppress it.
With the Sword Saint resisting this matter, no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t force a cow to drink by pressing its head down. Besides, wanting his Primordial Spirit to enter Guang Chengzi’s Body and use this Bulletproof Immortal Bone Relics was no easy task; there were many details that needed careful preparation.
The two returned to Black Wind Village’s Leshan Branch to stay for the time being.
After washing up, Jiang Dali changed into a fresh set of clothes, then issued a faction quest, instructing the Players and faction members to start searching the whole world for Mud Buddha.
The time left to him was running out. With each extra day he waited, the wounds Shakyamuni had suffered would become lighter, so he had already decided to set out within a week.
But if they could find Mud Buddha within this week, then the odds of success for rescuing Wu Ming and dealing with Shakyamuni would undoubtedly be much higher.
Because Shakyamuni himself was a great alchemist, and a top-tier one at that, extremely proficient in arts such as fortune-telling, feng shui, and physiognomy.
To deal with someone like that, you might be calculated and foreseen by him long before you even made a move.
But if they had another freak like Mud Buddha to help conceal the Heavenly Mechanism, they could temporarily blind Shakyamuni’s vigilance, making it difficult for him to divine too much information. In that case, they would naturally seize the initiative.
However, similarly, finding a freak like Mud Buddha was no easy task either.
The other party could also foresee that someone was looking for him. With his personality of not wanting to be drawn into Martial World disputes, plus his ever-changing Disguise techniques, if he deliberately avoided them, no matter how many people Jiang Dali sent, it would still be very hard to find him.
Therefore, Jiang Dali specially ordered the Abnormal People intelligence group to quickly locate Lu Xiaofeng and Sikong Zhaixing, and asked these two well-informed, most skilled at finding people friends to help with the search, though he still didn’t place too much hope on it.
...
Inside the room, sandalwood incense curled upward; all was silent.
Jiang Dali sat cross-legged on the cushion, regulating his breath and Luck. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, then was withdrawn, as he checked the current message State on his panel.

The Realm leap from Returning to Truth 6th Realm to Returning to Truth 8th Realm had indeed caused a terrifying increase in his strength Basic. Whether Qi-Blood or Inner Strength, both had, along with the breakthrough in Power Realm, stepped together across the million threshold, while his Primordial Spirit had grown about seventy percent stronger than before.
"From breaking through Returning to Truth 6th Realm to Returning to Truth 7th Realm, my spirit already increased by thirty percent. After breaking through to 8th Realm, it strengthened another thirty percent... plus using a little trick with the "Dragon Elephant Wisdom" to reshape once the four great internal origins of Earth Fire, Wind, Water, it also made my Qi-Blood and Inner Strength about twenty percent stronger; the Primordial Spirit didn’t change this time.
But like this, the current strength of my Qi-Blood and Inner Strength, especially Qi-Blood, is probably enough to be called peerless among experts of the Same Realm.
Only the Primordial Spirit should be about on par when compared with experts of the Same Realm, but if compared to those who specially cultivate the Primordial Spirit, I’m probably still somewhat inferior... and if compared to an old monster like Shakyamuni, who has lived for over a thousand years and even taken Phoenix Blood, who knows how big the gap is?
This old monster’s foundation is too strong."
Jiang Dali’s eyelids drooped slightly as he pondered inwardly.
These speculative comparisons were not baseless wild guesses.
Back in that battle at the God-searching Palace, from beginning to end he never managed to clearly see Shakyamuni’s exact blood bar, but judging from the fact that the man actually walked away unscathed from that huge explosion, his Qi-Blood had to be extremely robust, maybe even much stronger than Jiang Dali’s own.
You had to know that in this world, at the current Returning to Truth Realm level, there were probably already very few whose Qi-Blood was thicker than his.
He had seen both the blood bar of the Eternal Life God and the blood bar of Undying Yin Zhong.
The former, at the level of Returning to Truth 9, only had Qi-Blood on par with Jiang Dali before his own breakthrough, and was even less comparable to Jiang Dali’s current level.
As for Undying Yin Zhong, who had lived more than six hundred years and was called a Demigod, before his injuries recovered he only had some three to four hundred thousand Qi-Blood. Even now, with his injuries healed with the help of the Spirit Mirror, he had at most a million Qi-Blood, still much worse than Jiang Dali at present; after all, the man’s Power Realm was still a bit lower than his.
If Shakyamuni’s Qi-Blood was even stronger than his current level, then killing this old monster would be an extremely difficult task.
Thinking of this, Jiang Dali couldn’t help but give a wry laugh, secretly shaking his head. It had always been his enemies who got a headache over his own monstrous Qi-Blood, and now it was finally his turn to have a headache over how tough these thick-blooded Bosses were to deal with.
After he continued running his Cultivation Technique for one more circulation.
Jiang Dali slowly exhaled and withdrew his power, then opened up his panel and entered the Jianghu Forum to check on the current situation of the Players and the big events happening in various regions of the Martial World.
As expected, his shocking battle against the Sword Saint on top of the Leshan Giant Buddha had already spread across the Jianghu Forum. Various battle videos had been uploaded by Players, attracting massive attention from the crowd.
All kinds of title-wielding experts went wild with their naming skills, coming up with eye-searing clickbait like "Shocking! Black Wind Village Chief in his underpants fights an eighty-year-old on the Buddha’s head!" and "Black Wind Village Chief gone mad! Strong man pins old man!" The lot of them floated on top of the forum, all trying to grab eyeballs.
However, after tons of Players went in to watch, they all reported feeling totally bored—That’s it?
There was absolutely no passionate, hype-inducing battle footage to be seen.
Because once power reached their level, even Players who had watched the whole fight live on-site couldn’t understand the concrete details and hidden dangers of the battle, much less what the recorded video could show of its exquisite subtlety.
In the video, the entire battle looked like two people facing off for less than three breaths, then suddenly both fell off the top of the Buddha. Each had one extra wound on their body, blood gushing out, and the outcome was decided just like that, leaving all the Players confused as hell, with no idea what had just happened. freewёbnoνel.com
Even when quite a few Players tried slowing the video down to capture the two fighters’ movements, they weirdly discovered that no matter how many times they slowed it, the two bodies never actually closed the distance during those three breaths, as if they were attacking each other from afar.
For instance, in the first breath Jiang Dali’s left shoulder suddenly spurted a strange Blood Arrow, as though struck by some invisible Sword Qi. By the third breath, when Jiang Dali lifted a hand and pointed, the Sword Saint’s left rib suddenly blossomed with blood. At that point, the two of them fell separately from the top of the Buddha, and victory and defeat were determined.
If Jiang Dali’s offensive could still be traced with some pattern, then the Sword Saint’s offensive was completely incomprehensible. No matter how hard the Players racked their brains, they couldn’t figure out how the Sword Saint had wounded Jiang Dali’s left shoulder, and could only chalk it up to some kind of terrifying invisible Sword Qi Cultivation Technique.
After this video was analyzed repeatedly by Players on the forum, the Sword Saint’s popularity among the Player base continued to rise. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
A huge number of Players regarded his mysterious Swordsmanship that used invisible Sword Qi to wound Jiang Dali as something that surpassed the Six Meridian Divine Sword in formless Sword Qi, causing many Swordsmanship fanatics to start forming parties and rushing toward Leshan, hoping to try their luck and take him as their master.
"Sword Twenty-Three is of course far beyond the Six Meridian Divine Sword by who knows how much..."
Looking at the Players’ discussions, Jiang Dali chuckled inwardly, then glanced over the other major events of the Martial World. Seeing that there was no particularly big incident that warranted his attention, he exited the Jianghu Forum.
For the next seven days, while waiting for news on the Mud Buddha, he also planned to actively push all his forces to search for a Divine Doctor.
If it didn’t take at least seven days to make a round trip from Leshan to Hailuo Gully in Shu, and if the distance from Hailuo Gully to the Ancient Qin Snow God Mountain Range wasn’t even farther, he would have already set off to meet the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen in her current poor State. As things were, he could only hope to locate a Divine Doctor as soon as possible.
He rose, pushed open the door, and walked out of the room.
Jiang Dali summoned the Yin Feng Double Killers and ordered them to pass down the Black Wind Order, immediately choosing and transferring a batch of Buddhist-style life Players from each sub branch and even from the Mountain Village headquarters—he had big plans for them.
From this Cultivation Technique, Dragon Elephant Wisdom, he had gained a lot of insight and was suddenly struck by a whim: he decided to pass this complete secret technique on to a group of Buddhist-style life Players, to see if he could cultivate a batch of Buddhist-style little monsters.
After all, if one wanted to comprehend the essence of "All Four Elements Are Emptiness" in this secret technique, it required the learner’s thoughts to be empty and still.
If a Cultivator deliberately tried to master it, they would instead fall into a Lower Level path, finding it very hard to cultivate it to a deep realm. They might even become more impatient and chaotic the more they tried, eventually going Devilish, which perfectly matched the Buddhist principle of "what you seek, you do not obtain."
So Jiang Dali simply followed this logic and looked for a group of Buddhist-style life Players who didn’t like practicing Martial Arts, to see whether he could train one or two geniuses who would actually achieve Dragon Elephant Wisdom among this Buddhist-style Player crowd.
For him, this was purely a momentary, playful experiment, an attempt to use this method to verify his own understanding of Martial Arts...
