Chapter 104 Return
red star imperial capital.
one by one, the upper echelons of the red star gathered together.
aside from the host of the meeting, the primordial chaos martial saint jiang banzier, stellar sanctum's lei yun, as well as imperial teacher zuo wendao and the royal uncle jiang zhenwu were also present.
in addition, jiang bairren, the true sea-calming divine needle of the jiang family, who controlled the only high-rank battle armor of the jiang family, also attended the meeting via video communication.
these people...
were enough to represent not only the jiang family but also the absolute upper echelons of the imperial capital.
such a meeting was of a caliber that even qi renjie and the heads of the twelve great noble families would not qualify to attend on ordinary days.
"is it really a celestial?"
jiang bairren's gaze turned towards lei yun.
"it might be through the use of a secret technique that they possess combat power close to that of a celestial, or it might be that they are a celestial, but due to concerns about our jiang family's power in the artifact sect, they didn't exert their full strength. another possibility is..."
lei yun said gravely, "the rebirth society."
the rebirth society!
these words caused everyone present to feel a sinking sensation in their hearts.
although the rebirth society had not yet directly clashed with the red star empire at this moment, the pressure they brought to the jiang family was even greater than that of the snow dragon empire.
the snow dragon empire at least shared a common origin; there were differences, but when conflicts arose, there were still some lines they wouldn't cross.
but the rebirth society...
if the news were true, then they were an adversarial force to the artifact sect.
once a conflict began, it seemed that only one side could survive.
moreover, the combat power of those in the rebirth society could not be measured by their surface strength.
some grandmasters, relying on their exquisite combat skills and extremely rich experience, could often exhibit combat strength at the martial saint level.
martial saints could even match divine intent martial saints with their prowess.
moving on...
it seemed only logical for a primordial chaos martial saint to wield almost celestial-level combat power through a secret technique.
"so, has the rebirth society suddenly become extremely quiet because they're about to make a move against us?"
jiang banzier's eyes were filled with solemnity.
"wait a minute, based on that person's actions, it should have been the personnel of shelter society, how did it come back to the rebirth society?"
jiang zhenwu was somewhat puzzled.
"shelter society?"
lei yun scoffed, "if they really had that capability, they wouldn't have been so easily wiped out by me last time. besides, many supporters of the shelter society have already turned towards us. based on the information they provided, i couldn't be more clear about the capabilities of the shelter society..."
the others also nodded their heads, deeply agreeing.
"but it doesn't make sense, if it really was people from the rebirth society trying to incite internal conflict within our red star royal family, why would they do it under the guise of the shelter society? they are well aware that we would not fall for such a trick."
stay updated through empire
jiang zhenwu said.
this statement cast a silence over those gathered.
they could not answer.
"actually, the answer might not be as complicated as we imagined; it's possible that the shelter society does possess that kind of power."
at this moment, imperial teacher zuo wendao suddenly spoke.
the crowd was slightly startled.
jiang bairren's gaze particularly fell on him.
"let's hear your speculation."
others understood his meaning.
if they truly had to use the great sun true fire, it meant that the red star was out of options, and by then...
the red star would have to accept reality.
"investigation is the main priority, do not act rashly without sufficient certainty,"
jiang bairren instructed once again.
"i understand."
lei yun nodded gravely.
jiang bairren couldn't help but say, "is xie boen that stubborn old man still unwilling to cease and cooperate with us against the rebirth society?"
"their demand... is for us of the red star to relinquish the northern and southern continents."
jiang bairren said.
a heaviness fell in everyone's hearts.
although it was the jiang family's fault for clinging on beyond the turnover period, the problem now was...
they couldn't leave.
unable to return to the artifact sect, and if they were to cede the northern and southern continents, the jiang family would inevitably become a vassal to the xie family.
"accelerate the advancement of the demon lord plan."
jiang bairren stated, "only by securing the five emperors furnace will we truly possess the capability to induce the snow dragon empire to cooperate with us. even then, whether we stay or leave will be entirely up to us."
the five emperors soul refining furnace.
when they heard jiang bairren mention this artifact, everyone perked up and nodded simultaneously.
this was where the jiang family's chance to turn the tables resided.
...
meanwhile, elsewhere.
alkaid looked at the relatively smooth asphalt road in front of him and the street sign standing by the roadside.
"i have finally entered dayu."
he let out a slight breath.
even though he was a divine intent martial saint, traveling thousands of kilometers was still a tiresome affair.
however, he had no intention of contacting lei yun or the others.
this long journey itself was a sort of refinement for his mind.
although he could quickly gather all information using the "ancient tree" search engine,...
a student who reads thousands of books may not necessarily become a top scientist.
the aspects that need practice still have to be experienced one by one.
"speaking of which, the batch of medicinal materials from the red star empire is very good. after brewing and taking it according to the prescription, i could clearly feel the stabilization of divine intent and the growth of my spirit... following this trend, in one year, i could reach perfection in divine intent, and achieving greater divine intent might only take a few months."
alkaid made a rough calculation.
theoretically, only with perfection in divine intent, which brings one's spirit, energy, and soul to a new peak, can one perceive that sense of flawless integration from primordial chaos, and then cultivate the flawless true body and ascend to the primordial chaos martial saint realm.
but with alkaid's extensive experience, he had already mastered the flawless true body and could skip catching the "sense of primordial chaos and flawlessness."
even as divine intent grew, he could complete the purification of divine intent.
maintaining this state, once the divine intent achieved greater completion, he would be able to constantly utilize the heaven and earth furnace to forge his body, rapidly enhancing his physique.
furthermore, due to the "earth furnace" secret technique, the time needed to forge his body would be significantly shortened.
contemplating this, a car abruptly pulled to a stop in front of alkaid.
then, lei yun, brimming with excitement, swiftly opened the door.
she came up to alkaid, respectfully performing a bow.
"young master, we've come to take you home."
