Chapter 12

The two of them found a remote mountain nearby. After Jiang Cheng sat down cross-legged, he finally felt the power of the Indestructible Celestial physique.

Before he could even activate his cultivation method, spiritual qi started automatically entering his body.

This was not a place that was devoid of spiritual qi. Here, one could truly see the effect of the number one cultivation physique in the three realms.

Even if he had not possessed a cultivation method, and the spiritual qi would not be condensed inside his body, as time passed, the body would naturally become stronger due to the continuous nourishment of spiritual qi.

When he activated the Extreme Moon sect’s moon heart observation technique, Ji Linghan could no longer extract any more spiritual qi from her surroundings.

The spiritual qi within a radius of dozens of miles seemed to have formed a vortex, and the center of that vortex was Jiang Cheng.

It surged into his body crazily, so much so that a gale blew across the surrounding mountains and forests.

The most terrifying thing about the indestructible celestial physique was not the terrifying amount of spiritual qi it could absorb, but the speed at which it could condense that spiritual qi within one’s body.

When it came to absorbing spiritual qi, it could be said that the holy sons of some large sects and holy lands had been consuming spirit stones and spiritual pills from the day they were born.

However, this would only result in them absorbing large amounts of spiritual qi, and they would not be able to refine it within a short period of time. They could not condense it into their own spiritual qi so, naturally, they could not quickly increase their strength.

This was the importance of a genius’s physique and bloodline.

It seemed that there was no such problem with the Indestructible Celestial physique. During the spiritual qi condensation process, he faced almost no obstructions, and could refine as much spiritual qi as he wanted.

This scene made Ji Linghan dumbfounded.

She was a cultivation genius herself. When she was cultivating, she could absorb the spiritual qi within a few miles of her surroundings, which was already shocking enough.

However, Jiang Cheng’s range was not only ten times larger, but he had already plundered the spiritual qi dry. The people around him did not even have the chance to absorb even the slightest bit of spiritual qi.

This kind of cultivation was akin to constantly consuming high-grade spirit stones. One could imagine how fast the absorption process would be.

The sect master was truly a divine being!

By the time Jiang Cheng stopped cultivating, his realm had already risen from the third level of the soul division realm to the fourth level.

“Sect master, are you done cultivating?”

Only then did Jiang Cheng realize that he had caused her to be unable to cultivate.

When he thought about this girl who had been silently protecting him from the side, he could not help but feel apologetic.

He had previously thought of her as a tool, but now that line of thinking seemed to have gone too far.

“I’m sorry. I’ll be more careful when I cultivate in the future.”

Ji Linghan quickly waved her hand and smiled. “It’s okay. It’s the sect’s blessing that sect master has become stronger!”

What a good person!

Jiang Cheng stood up and looked up at the sky. It was already past midnight, and the next day had already arrived.

“Let’s go to the Flying Immortal sect.”

The cooldown for the resurrection skill had ended. He was now full of confidence.

“Ah? Does sect master not plan to investigate ahead of time?”

Ji Linghan quickly followed up.

Jiang Cheng could only reply with a serious expression, “I have just broken through and my strength has greatly improved. There’s no need to investigate anymore. Let’s just go straight up!”

Ji Linghan did not understand what “just go straight up” meant, but when she heard him say that his strength had greatly improved, she immediately became happy.

She asked happily, “I wonder what realm sect master has broken through to?”

“In any case, it’s even higher than you can imagine!”

“Ah!”

Ji Linghan could not help but cover her small mouth. She was shocked and worshipful at the same time. She was still thinking about the heavenly fate realm.

Just as the two of them flew into the air, rustling sounds could be heard from the nearby forest.

Then, two unkempt-looking young men and one woman walked out from behind the brush.

When they saw Ji Linghan, they immediately waved to greet her.

“It’s senior sister Ji! Everyone, come out!”

Ji Linghan also went up to greet them, overjoyed.

“Junior brother Luo Yuan, junior sister Yin Xue’er, junior brother Jiang Hong, you’re all still alive! That’s great!”

Then, more than 20 surviving disciples of the Flying Immortal sect appeared from the distant forest one after the other.

The scene that unfolded was touching as both sides hugged and cried bitterly after meeting each other.

Jiang Cheng, who was standing to the side, had nothing to do and felt a little bored.

“Martial niece Ji, have you seen any other disciples?”

This group of people had outstanding levels of talent and were all core disciples of the Flying Immortal sect.

When the sect was being destroyed, they were sent out by the elders of the sect with their lives on the line as future seeds of revenge and sect reconstruction.

Apart from the twenty-one disciples, elder Liang was also present. He had also been lucky enough to escape the great disaster and could be considered the backbone of this group of people.

He had been chased all the way here. Now, he and the others could only hide in the mountains and forests.

The joy of reuniting dissipated, and Ji Linghan shook her head dejectedly.

“Reporting to martial uncle Liang, I didn’t see anyone else. What about you? Did any of the other martial uncles, and junior brothers and sisters escape?”

Elder Liang smiled miserably. “It seems that the Flying Immortal sect only has twenty or so seedlings left.”

“Damn the Extreme Moon sect!”

“The Dark Ice, Five Thunder, and Heaven Flame sects also need to bear responsibility!”

Junior brother Luo Yuan flicked his spiritual sword, which made a resounding sound.

“Before master died, he passed his Nine Ultimate Sword to me. If I don’t let it drink the blood of the four sects, wouldn’t I be letting him down?”

Yin Xue’er looked at the ring on her finger and her tears fell like rain.

“These are the spirit stones and spiritual pills that master left for me before she sent me away. When I reach the soul division realm in the future, I will definitely avenge her!”

The other disciples also made solemn oaths when they witnessed this scene.

“Martial Uncle Liang, senior sister Ji, where should we go next?”

“The first step for now is to break out of the encirclement!”

“What about after we get out? Do we continue to gather together, or do we hide ourselves in other sects separately?”

“What, are you going to betray the Flying Immortal sect?”

“I’m not! I just want to cultivate to a higher realm. I will never forget my sect’s grudge!”

All the disciples expressed their opinions and discussed their plans animatedly.

Elder Liang glanced at their storage rings, spiritual swords and spiritual armors, and a greedy gaze flashed across his eyes.

Although he was an elder, these people had all been core disciples previously.

When their masters risked their lives to protect them and help them escape, they had given them nearly all of their wealth in order to allow them to continue cultivating smoothly.

Take Ji Linghan for example. What she was wearing now was not just a fifth-level defensive-type spiritual artifact, but the resources stored within her storage ring were also the entire accumulated savings of the former sect leader.

This ring, Elder Liang had not even dared to think about it in the past.

“Everyone, silence!”

The moment he spoke, everyone looked at him.

After all, he was the only elder that had survived, so everyone still had to listen to his words.

“If you want to take revenge, you don’t have to wait for the future. You can do it now!”

As soon as he said this, all the disciples stood up and became impatient.

“Martial uncle Liang, do you have a method?”

Even the Flying Immortal sect at its peak might not have been able to defeat the Extreme Moon sect, let alone the younger generation of disciples who had yet to fully mature.

Revenge was something that they could only hope for in the future.

“As long as I can avenge my master, I’m willing to do anything!”

Elder Liang smiled and waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to calm down.

“Our power alone is not sufficient for revenge!”

Luo Yuan frowned and said, “Uncle Liang, are you saying that we should ask for help from other sects?”

Elder Liang stroked his beard and nodded in response, “That’s right!”

“But we don’t have a deep relationship with other sects, so it’s likely that they won’t help us.”

Although these disciples wanted to take revenge as soon as possible, they were still very clear-headed.

Of course, there were still a few stupid people who managed to become core disciples.
