Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

After Jiang Yi got the Mystic Divine Palace out, he set it up on the city plaza outside the castle. The essence force here was ten times more intense than it was outside. In addition to the Mystic Divine Palace’s thousand-time speed, and the transformation that his body underwent because of the Destitute Dragon Grass, Jiang Yi was improving a hundred thousand times faster!

Exactly how fast was that?

Just training for one year under such conditions would equivalent to ordinary martial artists training for a hundred thousand years. This was the most out-of-this-world experience. Even the Battle Thearch’s disciples would not be able to compare to him. Training in the Mystic Thearch Castle improved one’s training speed by ten times. In addition to the thousand-time secret cultivation rooms they had, the best the disciples of the Battle Thearch could do was train in an environment ten-thousand-times more effective. Jiang Yi was doing ten times better than them.

In order to train his essence force until he reached the seventh star sphere, he would ordinarily have to train for a couple of years. However, since he entered the Death God Mystic Realm, he would probably only take several months. Since he had already been training for some time in the Mystic Divine Palace, he only had to give it his all for two or three months in order to be transformed once more.

The seventh star sphere’s change would not improve his skills by that much, but the Divinity Slayer’s power would definitely be stronger. Even his speed and other aspects would improve slightly too. After entering the Mystic Divine Palace, Jiang Yi did not look for Yi Chan. Although the Buddha Thearch and Buddha Emperor told him to, he felt like he would be letting Yi Chan down if he made love to her before they got married. He only did that with Yin Ruobing because he had no choice back then.

Jiang Yi wanted to train as hard as he could first and see if he would be able to break through on his own. If he was confident of making it through the Void Ancient Path, he would go out and work with the rest of the group to kill Xing Mo and the North Thearch. Then, he would throw a huge wedding celebration for Yin Ruobing, Yi Chan, and Su Ruoxue. Only after that would he consummate his marriage with them.

Jiang Yi searched the castle and found that Jiang Xiaonu was still recuperating, Xiao Fei was still sleeping, and Yin Ruobing and Yi Chan were still in seclusion. He decided not to disturb them. Instead, he went to his own room to seclude himself and train.

The Mystic Divine Palace’s restrictions lit up. It began to gather the heaven and earth essence force. The essence force here was thick so the Mystic Divine Palace could replenish its own energy as well. Jiang Yi retrieved the black-gold divine artifact shield and played around with it for a while. That was when he realized there were two small words carved into the shield: Thousand Thearch!

“Thousand Thearch Shield?”

Jiang Yi frowned. If this person could be crowned as a thearch, he must be someone important. However, there was no one known as the Thousand Thearch in the Stellarsky Domain. The Heaven Nether Sect’s Patriarch also had never heard of such a person before. At that moment, Jiang Yi felt confused about who this person was exactly

“Forget it, let me train first!”

Jiang Yi channeled his essence force into the shield and refined it for an hour. Yet, there was no sign of it transforming. This divine artifact shield was impossible to refine!

Jiang Yi opened both his eyes and pondered deeply for some time. Then, he slapped his own head and said, “Xing Mo’s body was destroyed, but his soul spirit was not. This divine artifact shield has his soul spirit mark on it. How can I refine it?”

He quickly teleported out to look for the Buddha Thearch and company in the hopes that they would have a solution. Without the divine artifact shield, his chances of making it through the Void Ancient Path were significantly lower. The Buddha Thearch and the rest did not think about this at first, but after Jiang Yi updated them on his progress, they began to discuss this. At last, they raised their hands in defeat and said, “There’s no way. If one’s soul spirit remains alive, the spiritual imprint would never disappear. Maybe if this was other people’s spiritual imprint, it would be easier for us to come up with a way to get rid of it. However, Xing Mo’s spirit is too strong…”

“What a pity!”

Jiang Yi sighed helplessly. He turned around and prepared to walk off, but at that moment, the Xuan Thearch spoke up from inside the room. “Let me take a look at it. I might have a way to destroy his spiritual imprint.”

Buzz!

Everyone’s eyes brightened. Jiang Yi briskly walked into the Xuan Thearch’s room and handed the black-gold shield to the Xuan Thearch. The Night Empress and Yin Thearch’s eyes were burning hot. This was a divine artifact after all. Still, they would not be alive if not for Jiang Yi. Thus, they only felt some envy. Jiang Yi was the one who destroyed Xing Mo’s physical body. Of course, if the Saint Emperor did not want this divine artifact, it would go to him.

Jiang Yi had no intention of giving the divine artifact up either. If he gave up such a valuable weapon, he would really be stupid. It would be understandable for him to give out divine artifacts if he had a whole bunch of them, but he only had three of them now. Everyone was selfish inside. That was human nature. Jiang Yi was no saint.

The Xuan Thearch took a closer look at the shield for a moment and then widened his eyes. “Leave the shield behind. Go and do what you have to. Come back in a month or so, it should be ready.”

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi nodded. Without a moment’s hesitation, he turned and left, returning to the Mystic Divine Palace to train his essence force. He had total confidence in the Xuan Thearch. The Yin Thearch and Night Empress exchanged an astonished look. Jiang Yi trusted the Xuan Thearch this much? Was he not afraid that he would steal the divine artifact for himself?

The Buddha Thearch’s injuries were more or less recovered. He smiled and walked into the room saying, “Old Ling, it looks like you’ve learned a couple of mystical abilities from your young mistress. When will you teach me these abilities?”

“No problem!”

The Xuan Thearch answered generously. However, his next sentence made the Buddha Thearch roll his eyes. “This mystical ability is from the Higher Domain. You need to have heavenly powers in order to use them. Young Mistress gave me some heavenly powers, but I don’t have much left. Do you… have heavenly powers?”

“Take it as I didn’t say anything.”

The Buddha Thearch walked out of the room, slightly disappointed. The Xuan Thearch suddenly sent him a voice transmission to stop him: “Monk, you have greater powers than I do. If you use this type of mystical ability, you might have a chance of fighting Wu Shang and Xing Mo. Let’s do it this way: go and realize this type of mystical ability. If you can grasp this mystical ability before we get out of here, I will give you half of my remaining heavenly powers. Then each of us can activate the mystical ability once. If you cannot grasp it, then I cannot hand you these heavenly powers.”

“Alright, Old Ling, you’re a real man. I’ve finally seen the true you today.” The Buddha Thearch’s eyes twinkled as he sent a voice transmission back to the Xuan Thearch in response. “Old Ling, let’s not talk too much anymore. I’ll take you as my brother from this day onward. We will swear it when we get back.”

“Swear it?”

The Xuan Thearch rubbed his nose in embarrassment. “Haven’t you monks seen through this world of mortals? Do you still believe in sworn brothers? The Stellarsky Domain is facing great trouble. Once a bird’s nest is overturned, no egg will remain intact. I’m not truly that big-hearted.”

The Buddha Thearch nodded. He did not care about the reason behind what the Xuan Thearch was doing. All he knew was that it was worth keeping the Xuan Thearch around as a friend. Not everyone would be willing to share their own strongest mystical abilities with other people. What’s more, he only had little heavenly powers left; and yet he was willing to give half of it to the Buddha Thearch. If the latter wasted it, the Xuan Thearch would perish as well.

The Xuan Thearch sent the important points of this mystical ability over to the Buddha Thearch via voice transmission. This mystical ability was deep and complicated. Ordinary people would not be able to realize it in a short time. After the Buddha Thearch made a mental note of everything, he nodded and said, “This really is a Higher Domain Mystical Ability. It’s incomparably mystical. I don’t know if I’ll be able to realize it in just over two months.

“Even if I do, we might not win.”

The Xuan Thearch smiled helplessly. “Old Mo is really too mysterious. Who knew he had such a divine artifact? Even his daughter has divine artifact battle armor? He also has so many spectacular battle formations. The fact that he trapped Jiang Yi in the World-Destroying Sky Thunder Formation is terrifying enough! Monk, I feel like something is amiss. The entire Stellarsky Domain might really perish this time…”

“We’ll do our best and leave the rest to the heavens.”

The Buddha Thearch’s expression was somber as he sighed deeply and walked out of the room. No matter what, they had to do all that they could… not only for themselves, but also for their clans and for the rest of the civilians in the world.

After the Buddha Thearch walked out, the Xuan Thearch closed the door and prepared to continue his recovery process. He sat on the ground cross-legged, his eyes brightening slightly. There was a glimmer of hope in his eyes as he said, “Young Lord has Young Mistress’ blood in his veins. Young Mistress was of such noble origins as well. I think we can only depend on Young Lord now. Hopefully, he will not disappoint us.”
