Fifth Hundred Eighty-Six Chapter Qian Dao Sect

Jiang Yi pondered deeply. He believed the Xia Clan Head wouldn’t deceive him. Perhaps the Xia Clan really knew something. The problem was, even if they knew, how could he possibly extract it?

His strength was too weak. It was like having a mountain of gold in front of him, but he couldn’t even touch it.

“The only way is to increase my strength!”

Jiang Yi secretly clenched his fists. He felt an unprecedented desire for power. Power was the most reliable thing. Only with absolute strength could he do whatever he wanted and acquire whatever he desired.

He remembered the conversation with Jiang Bieli and the conversation with the Xia Clan Head. Both mentioned the “Qian Dao Sect.” Could this Qian Dao Sect be the breakthrough?

“Qian Dao Sect…”

Jiang Yi recalled Jiang Bieli’s words: “That place is very special. It’s where the strongest existences on the entire continent reside. It’s the holy land of martial arts for the entire continent. It’s also where true experts are born. You’ll go there eventually. Only by going there can you become truly strong.”

He also remembered the Xia Clan Head’s words: “If you don’t have the Xia Clan’s approval, you’ll never enter the Qian Dao Sect in this lifetime.”

These two statements were somewhat contradictory. The Xia Clan Head seemed to be saying that entry into the Qian Dao Sect required the Xia Clan’s approval, while Jiang Bieli implied that anyone could go, regardless of clan.

“Maybe I misunderstood? Or maybe the Xia Clan Head was exaggerating, just trying to scare me.”

Jiang Yi shook his head, not wanting to dwell on it. Since both mentioned the Qian Dao Sect, it was definitely a place of great importance. Whether entry required the Xia Clan’s approval or not, he would find out when he had the strength.

Now, his most urgent task was to improve his strength. He needed to break through to the Soul Condensation realm, or at least reach the peak of the Purple Mansion realm. Only then could he have some ability to protect himself and not be so passive.

He was still a long way from the Soul Condensation realm. He hadn’t reached the peak of the Purple Mansion realm yet, and he also needed to cultivate a Soul Devouring divine ability. Cultivating this divine ability was crucial for breaking through to the Soul Condensation realm. Without sufficient soul power, breaking through was impossible.

“Soul Devouring divine ability, Blood Condensation divine ability, and the Mystic Divine Technique’s third level, the Blood Sea. I need to cultivate all of these.”

Jiang Yi mentally sorted out his cultivation path. He had three main areas to focus on. All three were important and needed to be cultivated simultaneously.

He also needed to cultivate the Fire Dragon Sword’s first form, Flame Wave, and the Mystic God Realm’s spatial divine ability, Heavenly Punishment. He had a lot to cultivate.

“Let’s start with the Fire Dragon Sword’s first form, Flame Wave. This attack is quite powerful. Combined with the Fire Dragon Sword’s might, it should be able to contend with peak Purple Mansion experts. After that, I’ll focus on the Mystic Divine Technique, the Soul Devouring divine ability, and the Blood Condensation divine ability.”

Jiang Yi made his decision. He took out the Fire Dragon Sword and began practicing the first form, Flame Wave.

The Fire Dragon Sword was a treasure from the Mystic Divine Palace. It was incredibly sharp and heavy, and it contained a powerful fire attribute. The first form, Flame Wave, was a sword technique that amplified the sword’s fire attribute, creating a devastating wave of fire.

He practiced diligently in the training room. The training room was specially designed to withstand the power of martial arts. Even with his current strength, he wouldn’t be able to damage it.

Days turned into nights. Jiang Yi immersed himself in cultivation. He practiced the Fire Dragon Sword’s first form repeatedly, refining his movements and understanding the flow of qi.

After several days, he finally felt a breakthrough. He unleashed a sword strike, and a wave of fiery red qi erupted from the sword, surging forward like a tsunami.

“Success!”

Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up. The Flame Wave was finally under his control. He could now unleash a powerful wave of fire with every strike. This significantly increased his combat power.

Next, he moved on to the Mystic Divine Technique’s third level, the Blood Sea. This technique was a mystery. He didn’t know what it did, but since it was part of the Mystic Divine Technique, it was bound to be powerful.

He followed the instructions in the Mystic Divine Technique manual and began cultivating the Blood Sea. It was a slow and arduous process. He had to absorb a large amount of blood essence and transform it into a strange, black qi. This qi then gathered in his dantian, forming a sea of blood-like energy.

Weeks passed. Jiang Yi remained in seclusion, cultivating diligently. He absorbed massive amounts of spirit beasts’ blood essence, his dantian slowly filling with the black qi.

He also began cultivating the Soul Devouring divine ability. This ability allowed him to absorb the souls of others and strengthen his own. It was a cruel and twisted technique, but it was necessary for him to break through to the Soul Condensation realm.

He found it difficult to practice the Soul Devouring divine ability. He didn’t have any souls to absorb. He couldn’t just kill people for their souls. That was against his principles.

He remembered the Xia Clan Head had mentioned spirit beasts’ souls. Perhaps he could absorb the souls of spirit beasts. He tested it out, and it worked. He could absorb the souls of low-level spirit beasts. However, the amount of soul power he gained was minimal. He needed to absorb the souls of high-level spirit beasts to make significant progress.

He also cultivated the Blood Condensation divine ability. This ability allowed him to condense his blood essence into a powerful attack. It was a technique that consumed a lot of blood essence, but it was very effective in combat.

Months went by. Jiang Yi remained in seclusion, cultivating all three techniques simultaneously. His strength grew steadily. His Purple Mansion realm was solidifying, and the black qi in his dantian was expanding. His soul power was also increasing, albeit slowly.

He also continued to practice the Heavenly Punishment spatial divine ability. He could now teleport a short distance, but it was still very limited.

One day, while he was cultivating the Blood Sea, he felt a strange sensation. The black qi in his dantian suddenly surged, and he felt a connection to something vast and powerful.

He opened his eyes and saw a vision. He was in a sea of blood, and in the distance, he saw a magnificent palace floating on the surface of the blood.

“The Mystic Divine Palace?”

Jiang Yi was shocked. He recognized the palace from his dreams. Was the Blood Sea connected to the Mystic Divine Palace?

The vision quickly faded, leaving him with more questions than answers. He didn’t understand what the Blood Sea did or how it was connected to the Mystic Divine Palace.

He continued to cultivate, hoping to unravel the mysteries of the Mystic Divine Technique.

Time flew by. A year passed. Jiang Yi remained in seclusion for the entire year, cultivating without rest.

His strength had grown significantly. He had reached the peak of the Purple Mansion realm, and his soul power was substantial. The Blood Sea in his dantian was vast, and he had a faint understanding of its power.

He also had a deeper understanding of the Fire Dragon Sword and the Flame Wave. He could now unleash the Flame Wave with ease, and its power was incredible.

He could also teleport a longer distance with the Heavenly Punishment divine ability, but it was still not enough for him to escape from powerful enemies.

He knew he was still far from reaching the Soul Condensation realm. He needed more soul power and a better understanding of his techniques.

He decided to leave the training room and venture out. He needed to find high-level spirit beasts to absorb their souls and continue his cultivation.

He left the Heavenly Thunder Island and set sail for the open sea. He was determined to become strong enough to protect himself and uncover the truth about his past and the Qian Dao Sect.

He sailed for days, encountering many spirit beasts. He fought them, absorbing their souls and testing his skills. His combat experience grew, and he became more proficient in using his techniques.

He also continued to cultivate the Blood Sea. He felt its power growing, and he had a feeling that it was more than just a source of energy. It seemed to have a deeper purpose, something connected to the Mystic Divine Palace.

One day, while he was fighting a powerful spirit beast, he felt a surge of power from the Blood Sea. He instinctively channeled the power into his attack, and the spirit beast was instantly defeated.

He realized that the Blood Sea was a source of incredible power. He could use it to enhance his attacks and his defenses. It was a powerful tool that he could utilize in combat.

With the Blood Sea’s power, his combat strength increased dramatically. He could now contend with peak Purple Mansion experts and even some Soul Condensation experts.

He continued his journey, seeking out more spirit beasts and exploring the vast ocean. He knew that his path to becoming strong was long and arduous, but he was determined to persevere.

He had a goal: to become strong enough to enter the Qian Dao Sect and uncover the truth about his past and his family. He would not rest until he achieved his goal.

The journey continued. He encountered many dangers and faced many challenges, but he never gave up. He was Jiang Yi, and he would not be defeated.

He would become strong, he would uncover the truth, and he would find his place in the world. The Qian Dao Sect awaited him, and he would not stop until he reached it.
