Chapter 5: The creation of royal-level techniques and the little ant has the courage to fight against that, right? Jiang Yun returned to his peak, surrounded by silence. His mind was filled with thoughts and plans to execute. Facing Ye Chen in the upcoming day was an opportunity to earn a great fortune for sure.
He began strategizing by creating techniques from the knowledge he had accumulated over the past seven days and what he had received from the system. He consulted the system for details and meticulously planned everything to perfection. As a Level 9 Array Master, combined with his body's time properties, he was able to set up a time acceleration array in his training ground. Only one day would pass outside, but one hundred days would pass inside.
Jiang Yun then created a Heaven Concealing Formation and started exploring his Star Body. He discovered 128 small stars within himself. After pondering for a moment, he decided to seek spiritual veins to implant in his small world or find someone with a divine body capable of producing spiritual energy, creating an unlimited resource source with spirit stones, herb cultivation grounds, mineral deposits, weapon materials, and more.
During this period, he developed numerous combat techniques and formations. He also discovered a technique that utilized his Samsara Body, allowing him to create clones by separating part of his cultivation and spirit. Although these clones would start their cultivation from the Qi Control stage, it was only the beginning. Eventually, Jiang Yun could merge the clones back with his original body, gaining all their cultivation and skills without losing his foundation.
"The clones are loyal and have abilities close to the original, but they lack special bodies," Jiang Yun muttered to himself. He contemplated the possibility of bestowing special bodies on his clones if he had the origin of those bodies. He thought of Ye Chen, who possessed the Sacred Dragon Body and the Eternal Demon Body, and smiled coldly.
Considering the strength these clones could possess, Jiang Yun created nine clones, each with a special body at the Earth level. Even though creating these clones almost caused him to fall from the Nirvana level, he ordered each clone to train rigorously. After 100 days had passed inside the training ground, all nine clones had reached the first level of the Golden Core stage. Their rapid advancement was unusual, but it was due to the Spiritual Gathering Formation he had created, which increased the absorption of spiritual energy by tenfold.
Once everything was planned, Jiang Yun began to recover his lost foundation. One day had passed outside, and when he opened his eyes, he commanded:

The system responded in shock:
[Host... Did you create all of this yourself? Are you a reincarnated Immortal Emperor or some kind of anomaly?]
Jiang Yun smiled but said nothing. Even he did not know who he truly was; he could not remember his past life, but he felt strangely familiar with his current body.
Just then, a voice called from outside. An elder from the outer sect came to summon him to the dueling ground. When Jiang Yun emerged, he felt displeased that the elder did not show him proper respect, even though he still held the title of Sacred Son, a status below only the Holy Ancestor, the Divine Lord, and the Grand Elders.
He lightly struck the elder with a bit of his power. The outer elder, who had a cultivation of the Dao Gathering realm, knelt and spat blood, feeling extreme fear.
"How could he be so powerful?" the elder thought to himself.
Jiang Yun ignored the elder's surprise and flew away decisively.
Ye Chen stood waiting at the dueling ground, frustrated after waiting for nearly three hours. Amidst rumors that Jiang Yun might not come because he was afraid of losing or feared losing his position as Sacred Son, many malicious whispers filled the arena.
While everyone was still talking, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent in surprise as Jiang Yun descended into the dueling ground. His handsome figure, with long black hair and sharp eyebrows, dressed in a black robe adorned with golden patterns, made him stand out even more.
Some disciples were stunned, unable to take their eyes off him. Even Lin Qingyi was surprised, as she had never seen her disciple dressed so elegantly before, which greatly intrigued her.
Ye Chen, ignoring the others, smiled and mockingly asked, "Are you afraid, senior brother? Is that why you were so late?"
"Of course, I was afraid... afraid that the fight would end too quickly, leaving you with no chance to show the disciples here what a clown you are," Jiang Yun replied with a mocking tone.
Ye Chen's smile vanished, his expression turning serious immediately. "So, you're insulting me?"
"Certainly... you little ant," Jiang Yun responded indifferently.
The once noisy arena fell silent. Lin Qingyi looked on in surprise, for Jiang Yun had never been arrogant or insulted others like this before; he always treated his opponents with respect.
Ye Chen tried to contain his anger and respectfully asked the Divine Lord, "May we begin the fight now?"
"You may begin," the Divine Lord replied.
Ye Chen unleashed an aura exceeding the seventh level of the Initial Spirit Realm, nearing the third level of the Core Formation Realm. He charged forward with the Soaring Dragon Spear technique, an attack equivalent to the sixth level of the Core Formation Realm.
Jiang Yun smiled and said, "If that's all you have, you might as well take your defeat and deliver it to your fawning senior sisters." Searᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Some female disciples, especially Li Yudong, shouted insults at Jiang Yun.
"You are the fawning dog!"
Jiang Yun moved his hand to activate the Heaven Concealing Formation, but Ye Chen's spear quickly pierced through his body. Ye Chen smiled, but his expression soon turned to shock as the spear left no wound on Jiang Yun. A moment later, Jiang Yun's body seemed to turn into ice. Seeing this, Ye Chen tried to pull his spear back, but he couldn't. He attempted to use the spear's power to destroy Jiang Yun's ice body, but a warning voice echoed in his mind:
"Boy, let go of the spear now! He is behind you! Hurry!"
Ye Chen, startled, turned around and saw Jiang Yun suddenly appear behind him, grabbing him by the neck and lifting him. Ye Chen tried to resist by striking Jiang Yun's face, but his attacks merely passed through it without causing any harm. Then, his body slowly began to freeze, and in desperation, he struggled with all his might, screaming in pain from the cold.
Everyone was shocked to see Ye Chen's attacks were ineffective against Jiang Yun. Li Yudong immediately shouted for Jiang Yun to stop, but he ignored her, slowing down the freezing process as he felt the heavens becoming aware of his intent to kill Ye Chen. If he pushed further, it would tear open the sky to kill him immediately. However, he was waiting for the fish to take the bait.
As Jiang Yun was about to destroy Ye Chen's Dantian, a semi-emperor in the ring prepared to intervene, but suddenly a sword severed Jiang Yun's hand. However, his hand reconnected instantly in its ice form. He smiled, thinking to himself, "Got them!" Someone had intervened abruptly, breaking his formation, and the pressure from the heavens disappeared. When he looked at the person who had interfered with the duel and attacked him, Jiang Yun saw it was his fourth junior sister, Gu Qingxue. Still, that did not stop Jiang Yun from freezing Ye Chen. He stomped his foot, and a dome 1,000 meters in size appeared. The ice shards immediately attacked Gu Qingxue, piercing her body, and she screamed in pain.
Jiang Yun paid her no mind. As Ye Chen was about to be crippled and Gu Qingxue was attacked within the ice dome, Lin Qingyi shouted for him to stop immediately, but Jiang Yun remained indifferent, continuing the freezing process mercilessly.
Just as Lin Qingyi was about to use her power, a palm with the force of a Level 9 Saint struck and sent her flying into
