novelForty-Eight Demi-Saint Slaves and the Seven God-Killing Spears
| ← Ch.565 | Ch.567 → |
Jiang He felt as if he was in a dream.
His thoughts were muddled as he drifted within darkness, feeling nothing beyond it or even the flow of time.
It was until a light suddenly shone in the darkness that he woke up.
And right after he woke up, he tried to check on his Farm—whenever his Farm leveled up, he would find much joy and surprises.
This time, however, he only felt panic!
The Farm was gone, along with his System panel!
Jiang He was shocked. Still, just as he was about to start ranting, he realized that his cultivation had altered while he slumbered.
"I'm a Saint now?" he muttered.
There was no mistaking it.
Eternal was the fourteenth-tier of the martial cultivation system that he founded.
Being above that meant being equivalent to a Saint.
"No... the Saints can control dimension, but I don't have that ability." Jiang He controlled his rising delight to study his body closely.
The world in his body was boundless chaos, but had developed into a planetary system on its own after his slumber.
Stars hovered in the planetary system, enfolded by a river of stars beyond it, though the boundless chaos still existed beyond.
"W-What..."
Jiang He was stumped.
A world was really born in his body?
When he first reached Eternal, he was surprised to find that the world in his body could be molded with Eternium.
Still, his single strand of Eternium at the time molded only a fractional area, and Jiang He simply paid it no mind since.
How could he have imagined a planetary system formed on its own after he slept once?
"Wait, where's Dumbo and the others?"
At the thought, Jiang He quickly found Dumbo and the others on a planet in the world in his body.
The planet was over forty kilometers in diameter and similar to Earth, with ninety percent of it being ocean and bearing seven continents.
Jiang He arrived in the world before them with just a thought, and could not help exclaiming in surprise, "All of you... have ascended your cultivations as well?"
Dumbo barked a few times and excitedly said: "Master, I feel like I've reached the legendary Supreme Overdeity-tier. I would be able to wipe the floor with most Demi-Saints!"
"Me too."
Trumbo appeared more composed in comparison.
It appears that it was the same for the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers, Hu Mei, and the others as well—all of them had developed significantly after his Farm leveled up.
That surprised Jiang He a lot, since Dumbo and the others cultivated with Overdeity-divinities.
Reasonably speaking, they should have had a hard time improving their cultivation level—and it was an unchangeable rule!
"Could they have gained the benefit of the Farm leveling up since they were 'crops' in the first place, which is an exception to that rule?"
Jiang He's eyes flashed at the thought.
He looked out to find a great plain before him.
Fresh grasses that recently breached the soil and were growing fertilely extended as far as the eye could see, and the plains would be filled with life in days to come.
And yet, Jiang He was not concentrating on the plains.
He could sense a familiar presence on the fresh grasses.
Whoosh!
With just a thought, Jiang He appeared on a neighboring planet in the next instant.
This planet was lush with life as well, with plants breaching the ground and growing fertilely, as well as single-cell lifeforms that dwelled in the ocean.
Whoosh...
It was the same for the other planets too.
"My Farm..."
Jiang He was dumbfounded... did his Farm fuse with the world in his body?
"So, it turned into a planetary system now?"
"And the system is still growing slowly..."
Since it was inside his body, Jiang He just had to extend his senses a little to realize that the planetary system was gradually expanding, occupying the borderless Chaos.
Would the world in my body grow into a universe?
Jiang He was a little bewildered.
Most importantly, the planets within the world in his body were lush with life, having those aside from plants... would they grow into real living beings?
And if living beings were really born... what am I?
Jiang He came to his senses after a long while.
He looked down upon the world in his body, and then turned toward the river of stars beyond the planetary system.
Coffins floated among those stars, each of which swirled with special Dao presence. They were so exceedingly powerful that they built into streaks of silhouettes that dangled between celestial bodies.
"The Demi-Saints and Chaos beings I planted grew?"
Delight showed on Jiang He's face.
Aside from three carrying Chaos beings that were equivalent to Demi-Saints, the other forty-five stone coffins all contained corpses of Demi-Saints, with no lack of elites among them.
For example, the three Demi-Saint corpses given to Jiang He by the Grand Mage of Xuandu were three elite Demi-Saints, which he had slain over the course of his endless life, with one of them being a Stoner.
As for the other two... anyone whom the Grand Mage of Xuandu acknowledged as elite and corpses he saw fit to keep would not be weaker than the Stoner.
"Although my latest opponents are Saints, Demi-Saints are not that useful for me... but there are still forty-eight for them, and they are definitely enough to take out anyone weaker than Saint even if they can't win against a Saint!"
Corpses of forty-five Demi-Saints and three Chaos beings...
It would be certain that they become powerful after he planted them... if they charge in all at once, who asides Saints could stop them?
They would destroy even the Grand Mage of Xuandu even if he had the three treasures!
"While they won't be that useful, they could still be of help in certain minor cases... if I attack the Insectoids for revenge, I'll keep their Saint busy while all my Grand Luo attacked, overwhelming their race!"
On the other side of the river of stars was the shadow of a spear.
It extended over billions of miles and was utterly imposing.
"The God-Killing Spear is finished too!"
Jiang He laughed and flew to one of the stone coffins, knocking open one of the coffins with a slap.
[Ding!]
[+50 million Farm Points. ]
Inside the coffin was a green-skinned creature that stood around 1. 6 meters. His head was twice the size of a normal human, while his eyes were the directly proportional to his head, and the size of a fist.
An overwhelming aura extended from his body.
'This presence... it's equal in strength to the True Habitant of Tai Yi's, and would be tier three according to the universal categorization of Demi-Saints, ' Jiang He thought to himself.
The first tier was naturally the Grand Mage of Xuandu, Stoners, the Nether River Patriarch, and those who were peerless barring the Saints.
The second tier included the Daoist of Many Treasures, Zhao Gong Ming, Cloudy Sky Fairy Child, as well as Guang Chengzi and the Immortal Hermit of the South Pole of the Chan Sect.
"Greetings, Master!"
The Demi-Saint Big Header flew out of his coffin to kneel before Jiang He.
A cluster of data appeared as Jiang He stared at him.
[Big Headers: Unique space lifeform. ]
[Cultivation: Demi-Saint pinnacle. ]
[Mystic Treasure:... ]
Jiang He was dumbstruck.
Big-Headers... what a random name for a race.
Jiang He waved his hand, tearing open the other forty-seven coffins...
[Ding!]
[+50 billion Farm Points. ]
[+50 billion Farm Points... ]
Forty-seven notifications rang in Jiang He's ear, and he exclaimed in delight, "Nothing earns more Farm Points than planting Demi-Saints! That's more than two trillion in a single breath, and it's more than enough for me to master the Esoteric Nine and the Fist of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!"
He leaped, arriving before the shadow of the spear. With a thought, the silhouette that extended over billions of miles shrunk, and seven God-Killing Spears appeared amid the stars within Jiang He's vision.
"..."
Jiang He was gaping.
Weren't there seven God-Killing Spears here?!
