Chapter 375: Chapter 394: The Solid Statue

“Cough.” Suddenly, the Sword Master spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Jiang Li immediately expressed concern, but the Sword Master waved a hand, “It’s nothing, just sustained an internal injury while refining my Sword Dao in the void earlier. Let’s continue studying this half of a statue.”

“Why can’t even my sword cut through this ordinary statue? What kind of power severed it?”

Jiang Li definitely couldn’t voice the words that worshiping the Respected God-hidden and killing people would earn merit.

The Immortal Elder had once said that foreign Heavenly Demons have an unknown God; worshipping Him would change the manner of obtaining faith.

Combine the two, and it’s easy to determine the Respected God-hidden is the faith or deity of the Heavenly Demons beyond?>.

Even a Heavenly Immortal-grade Heavenly Demon believes in and could send out merit. It was terrifying to think about the true form of the Respected God-hidden.

“It has nothing to do with the material. It’s about the form of the statue.”

“The original form of the statue is a terrifying figure. It’s hard to judge its realm, but it’s definitely above the Heavenly Immortal-grade.”

“I speculate that it’s precisely because the original form of the statue is so powerful, with its image imprinted in the universe, a statue modeled after it would also get affected, becoming more difficult to destroy.”

“But this is just my guess. As to whether it’s true, I can’t make any guarantees.” Jiang Li’s guess was very bold, yet somewhat reasonable.

Legend has it that some beings are so powerful they stand in the river of time, any strike from across the river of time aiming at their weaker selves would be killed.

Legend has it that the names of some beings cannot be uttered, as they must sense it if uttered.

Legend has it that some beings are immortal, without rebirth…

Powerful beings often show their strength in extraordinary ways.

The Sword Master fell silent, unable to imagine what level of existence could make the Ten Thousand Realms acknowledge and protect its image.

Perhaps only legendary figures like Dao Ancestors or Buddha Ancestors, giants in the Immortal Realm who can be referred to as “ancestors” could do this.

Unfortunately, the Sword Master did not know what these two giants looked like; otherwise, he would really like to strike the statue with his sword to find out the truth.

As if having an idea, the Sword Master said, “I do have a way to verify the Human Emperor’s guess, but this method might be disrespectful.”

“Feel free, you can try at will.”

With Jiang Li’s permission, the Sword Master spat out his Storage Ring and pulled a tiny Jiang Human Emperor statue from inside.

Sword Intent flowed like autumn water, converging like a river that covered the sky, the immeasurable Sword Qi gathered into a narrow beam of light, illuminating the void.

This sword strike could be deemed the Sword Master’s strongest strike since entering the Transcendence Tribulation Stage!

The Sword Master brandished his sword towards the statue of Jiang Human Emperor.

The statue of Jiang Human Emperor was unscathed and quietly floated in the void.

The two looked at each other and both saw shock in each other’s eyes, with the Sword Master being more startled.

He began to regret his perseverance in staying in the Sword Tomb to deal with his Heart Demon, missing out on witnessing Jiang Li achieving the Mahayana Realm.

The Sword Master did not expect that there truly was a Mahayana Realm in this world, and even more so that the Mahayana Realm could be so terrifying.

He just swung his sword with an experimental heart, not expecting the Jiang Human Emperor statue to be invincible, that his full-power strike didn’t even leave a white mark.

Jiang Li also did not expect his statue to be so hard.

After all, it was just an ordinary clay-made statue.

Who in the Nine Provinces world didn’t set up the statue of Jiang Li, and no one has the idea of intentionally damaging the statue of Jiang Human Emperor, even if it accidentally fell to the ground without damage, it was just considered good luck, not that the statue was indestructible.

After all, it’s too unbelievable.

“Human Emperor, your strength is also recognized by the Ten Thousand Realms.”

“It seems so.”

“Isn’t your reaction too calm?” The Sword Master had always pursued the strongest. He asked himself that if he was as strong as Jiang Li, no, even if he only had one-tenth of his strength, he would not have this calm attitude.

Jiang Li thought and felt that he should have some reaction, so he cleared his throat and said, “The first thing I want to thank today are my opponents on the path of practice. Without their hard work and pressure on me, there would be no Jiang Li today, and secondly, I would like to thank the old Human Emperor’s hard nurturing.”

Sword Master:

“So, what force cut this statue in half?” The Sword Master touched the half statue of Respected God-hidden and asked.

Only the lower half of the Respected God-hidden statue remains, with an incredibly smooth cross-section with no fluctuations.

Jiang Li thought for a moment and then cut the statue of the Respected God-hidden in half with a palm strike, dividing it into two thighs.

The cross-section cut by Jiang Li was also extremely smooth.

“Probably only a Heavenly Immortal-grade force could do this.” Jiang Li could only estimate roughly, after all, he hadn’t directly fought with a Heavenly Immortal before, his only experience was the battle with the Red Dust fairy.

“Could it be a battle between an Immortal and a Heavenly Demon in the void and the aftermath of the battle severed this statue?”

“Very likely. From which direction did the statue drift?” Although he didn’t know how much time had passed, it was always worth trying.

Maybe he could find the Immortals or Heavenly Demons.

“There.” The Sword Master pointed to a direction and then spat out another mouthful of blood.

As soon as the blood left the body, it was torn apart by the void, forming a stark contrast with the intact statue of Jiang Human Emperor.

“I’m unwell and unable to accompany the Human Emperor in hunting for traces of Immortals. Human Emperor, pardon me.” Despite being severely injured by the void, the Sword Master’s eyes were still shining.

He had gained significantly from this time refining his Sword Dao in the void.

“Sword Master, please, just make sure not to talk about the statue.”

Jiang Li hoped that the fewer people who knew about Respected God-hidden the better, and from the beginning to end, he didn’t tell the Sword Master the title of the statue.

The void isn’t suitable for Transcendence Tribulation Stage to linger in. The Sword Master didn’t know how long he had stayed before Jiang Li arrived. He is now at the end of his strength, staying for further would hurt his foundation.

As soon as the Sword Master rushed back to the Nine Provinces realm and left the void, his injuries healed rapidly.

He returned to his sect and went into seclusion to comprehend.

After fighting with other Transcendence Tribulation Stage practitioners, the Sword Master felt the pressure. Li Er, Bai Hongtu, and Yu Yin were all following generations, but their battle strengths could compete with his, even surpassing it in some areas.

He found this very uncomfortable.

Especially as Li Er and Bai Hongtu had passed the tribulations to become Immortals, their paths in the Transcendence Tribulation Stage were further than his.

Following the direction the Sword Master had pointed out, Jiang Li put away the statue of the Respected God-hidden and wandered alone in the void, void as it was named, pitch black without anything.

All the way, Jiang Li saw no trace of a fight between Immortals and Heavenly Demons.

“Am I not at the location yet, or is the direction wrong?”

The chaotic currents of the void were unpredictable, perhaps the statue of the Respected God-hidden was blown back to the Nine Provinces realm by several different directions of the chaotic currents of the void.

If this was the case, it would be tough for Jiang Li to find the site of the battle.

Feeling bored in the void, Jiang Li pulled out a book, using his mana for protection, he read while flying.

Jiang Li immersed himself in the book, finishing ‘The Overbearing Mahayana Fell In Love with Me,’ ‘Reborn 500 Years, The Mahayana Cultivator Fell In Love with Me,’ and several other best-selling books, but still not finding traces of the battle.

However, he found a new world.

Jiang Li broke through the boundary and entered another world.
