Chapter 1622: Perfect Body

“Mighty God Race?”

Qi Qingchen looked at Jiang Yi in shock. Her eyes darted around as she recalled the past slowly. Finally, she could not contain the curiosity that was rising up inside her. “Jiang Yi, I’ve always wanted to ask you something, and I think many other people have been wondering the same thing as me. Are you… training the Mighty God Technique?”

In fact, countless formidable martial artists had already guessed this. After all, only the Mighty God Technique could explain how Jiang Yi’s physical body could become so strong for periods at once.

However, Jiang Yi’s body type was too different from typical people of the Mighty God Race. What’s more, the Mighty God Race had been destroyed a long time ago. There was no way there would be any of them left. At that moment, Jiang Yi could sense that the ancient corpse in the stone was from the Might God Race. That led Qi Qingchen to ask the question.

Jiang Yi smiled slightly and nodded, not intending to hide anything from Qi Qingchen. “Your guess is right. Help me keep this a secret.”

“Ah?”

Qi Qingchen was surprised. Instinctively, she exclaimed, “Are you… are you from the Mighty God Race?”

“What are you thinking about?”

Jiang Yi rolled his eyes. “My father is a minor character in the Mortal Domain. Mom is from the Phantom Race. How can I be from the Mighty God Race? Do I look like it, anyway?”

“Oh… right!”

A realization dawned on Qi Qingchen. She looked at Jiang Yi like she was looking at a monster. Curiously and suspiciously, she said, “Jiang Yi, you have many secrets up your sleeve. Countless talents have tried throughout the years to master the Mighty God Technique recently, but not one of them proved to be successful. How did you cultivate this skill?”

“Do you want to learn it?”

Jiang Yi smiled subtly and changed the topic. “You won’t be able to learn this skill even if you tried. Perhaps… I am the only one in this world who can learn the Mighty God Technique. At the very least, how I learned the technique must remain a secret. If you’re not my woman, I cannot share it with you.”

“Bah!”

Qi Qingchen tutted and blushed. Then, her expression hardened as she said, “Jiang Yi, I am warning you to stop having any ideas about me. I am your elder. You are being disrespectful, understand? You are not allowed to make such jokes again in the future.”

“Hahaha!”

On seeing Qi Qingchen’s serious expression, Jiang Yi laughed out loud. The depressive state that He Nongying had put him in disappeared at once. Smiling, he said, “Alright, my Young Mistress Qi, I will not harbor any ill intentions towards you. You are my elder, my grand-aunt. Is that fine?”

“You must be itching for a beating!”

Qi Qingchen’s heart filled with anger. She reached out her fist, starting to hit Jiang Yi; but her fist stopped in mid-air. She realized that this was not the way to hit others. It felt like… a couple flirting. She quickly turned away, blushing. She decided it would be much more appropriate not to bother about Jiang Yi.

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi’s expression became serious again, and he turned to the sky. “Qingchen, wait here. I’m going up to take a look. I feel like that ancient corpse is calling out to me. I want to take a look.”

“Be careful.”

Qi Qingchen looked at him worriedly. The corpse water was already so terrifying, how much more frightening would the corpse itself be? The Mighty God Race had already been dead for a long time. They did not even know why the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch kept a corpse like that sealed here.

Swish!

Jiang Yi steered the Sword Emanations Race beings upward and caused them to start hitting at the huge rock. Sparks appeared as the Sword Emanations Race beings’ sharp blades hit the huge rock, leaving behind little cracks.

Clank, clank, clank!

The Sword Emanations Race beings kept attacking the rock, causing the little cracks to grow. Jiang Yi waited for a second before summoning his Fire Dragon Sword. The Sword Emanations King appeared and continued to attack at the little cracks.

Clank, clank!

The Sword Emanations King’s attacks were much more powerful. The cracks became wider and longer. Jiang Yi remained in midair, closing his eyes and focusing on his senses. He did not make a single move. Qi Qingchen observed this entire process from afar. The Poison Spirit did not come close to them, probably because he wanted to keep watch in case other people tried to come near the gorge.

Five minutes, fifteen minutes… an hour!

The cracks had become huge passageways. The Sword Emanations King kept waving its machine-like arms to dig deeper into the passageway. Jiang Yi’s eyes opened all of a sudden. He realized that the Sword Emanations King’s attacks had become useless.

The huge passageway seemed to be glowing black. It was obvious that there were restrictions there. Jiang Yi sensed that these restrictions would not be moved by the Sword Emanations King alone.

“This is difficult…”

Jiang Yi widened his eyes. Whether the restrictions would budge or not, he had to allow the Sword Emanations Race beings to carry on attacking it. If the restrictions remained intact, it would mean that the Sword Emanations King alone could not break it apart.

“Qingchen, move out of this gorge.”

After pondering for a moment, Jiang Yi decided to make use of his Merged Flames. If even those flames could not break the restrictions, he would have to give the ancient corpse up.

“Be careful.”

Qi Qingchen worriedly said to him once again then moved out of the gorge. Jiang Yi flew out of the stone cave that had been dug and then kept the Sword Emanations King back into his Fire Dragon Sword. After that, he slowly moved towards the restrictions.

Buzz!

The restrictions flashed like patterns on water. Flames slowly appeared in Jiang Yi’s palms. Immediately, the restrictions flashed nonstop. At the same time, the corpse water dripping from the rock evaporated. Frightening heat waves filled the entire gorge.

“No use?”

Jiang Yi’s gaze locked in on the flashing restrictions as disappointment filled his eyes. The restrictions’ energy was being consumed rapidly, but from the way it was flashing nonstop, Jiang Yi was sure that even if he used up all his Prairie Flames, the restrictions would not be broken apart.

“The Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch’s restrictions are so strong?” Jiang Yi sighed helplessly. He had done all this work for nothing.

He kept his flames and began making his way back out. He was just about to emerge from the stone cave when he felt more movements coming from inside. His heart jumped. The ancient corpse was calling out to him again.

“Uh—”

Jiang Yi stopped walking. He turned around and focused his attention on the restrictions again. After mumbling to himself for several seconds, he went towards the restrictions once again. This time, he felt another wave of movements. It was obvious that something was beckoning him over. It was almost as if something was sending a voiceless message to him.

“Oh, right!”

Jiang Yi’s heart began to race. Suddenly, the Power of Heaven and Earth in his ninth star sphere surged. With all his might, he punched the restrictions in front of him.

Boom!

There was a low, explosive sound. The restrictions flashed one more time; this time, the light was so bright that Jiang Yi could hardly open his eyes. However, after blinking several times, his face filled with excitement.

“It worked!”

Jiang Yi’s entire body was trembling. One punch from him had weakened the restrictions immediately. Although Jiang Yi was not sure why this happened, he was not completely energized and beyond excited.

The ancient corpse from the Mighty God Race was connected to his meridians. If he could gain this powerful, ancient corpse, it would be greatly beneficial to him.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Jiang Yi kept punching the restrictions again and again. The restrictions became blindingly bright and then darkened again intermittently. Jiang Yi attacked faster and faster as he felt like the restrictions were going to give way at any time.

Buzz!

Ten minutes later, Jiang Yi no longer knew how many punches he had thrown. The light around the restrictions finally disappeared. Jiang Yi’s punch caused a hole to appear right through the stone wall in front of him.

Behind the stone wall was hollow space. It was a secret chamber, entirely sealed and without any doors or windows. The secret chamber was not huge, and it measured only about thirty meters in radius. There was nothing inside, except for a huge corpse lying in the middle.

“Not good—”

Jiang Yi looked at the ancient corpse, and his soul spirit jumped. The ancient corpse had come to life. It was now acting like an afterimage, charging at Jiang Yi at full force. A dry, skeletal hand reached out and wrapped around Jiang Yi’s neck.

At the same time, the ancient corpse’s black eyes lit up with a green glow. The green light shot Jiang Yi right between the eyebrows as a cold, chilling laugh was heard in his soul: “Hahaha, little brat, you’re quite good. I’ve waited for thirty thousand years. Finally, I am going to get a perfect body.”
