The Divine Judgment Hall was a joint organization of the sects and powers in the Eastern Region and Azure Cloud Continent.
They were extremely powerful and could control the rise and fall of the cultivation world of the Eastern Region. It was a cultivation holy land that everyone wanted to join.
As long as he joined them and became a member, even if he was a low-level member, he could ensure the safety of the Great Mountain Region to a large extent.
However, even if the Great Mountain Region possessed strength that barely met the standards, influence, territory, and other basic conditions, it was not so easy to join the Divine Judgment Hall.
Generally speaking, there were two ways to join the Divine Judgment Hall if a faction satisfied the conditions.
Firstly, relatively speaking, it was a relatively simple method. That was to invite a high-grade Divine Judgment faction to act as a guarantor.
As long as they had the recommendation of a high-grade Divine Judgment faction, or even if their strength was slightly inferior, they might successfully join.
However, the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region was located in a remote corner and did not have any strong connections in the outside world.
If they wanted to hire a high-grade Divine Judgment faction as a guarantor, they would have to pay a high price. Even if he emptied the entire cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region, it would probably be very difficult to afford it.
In addition, there was another way. Those who made a huge contribution to the cultivation world of the Eastern Region could also be allowed to join.
For example, creating a revolutionary pill formula similar to the Qi Nourishing Pill and Qi Recovery Pill.
For example, developing an important artifact like the Immortal Opportunity Stone and Spirit Testing Array.
Although this thing was simple, it could bring great help to the cultivation world.
Of course, such a thing might not appear even once in a few hundred years. It was really something that could only be chanced upon by luck.
However, the so-called contribution was not so simple.
If he could not contribute to this technology, accumulating merit through participating in the war against outsiders was also a choice.
However, war was still war after all. If there were not powerful enough forces, it was very likely that they would appear. Before they could accumulate enough merit points, their own forces would have already finished fighting.
In the Eastern Region, many sects with decent strength disappeared in this kind of war.
Even the Mu family of the Peach Forest was only a medium-sized faction under the Divine Judgment Hall. They did not have the authority to directly guarantee their entry into the alliance.
Therefore, to the Great Mountain Region, if they wanted to join the Divine Judgment Hall to protect themselves, they might have to take the initiative to welcome the tragic battle.
Regarding this, Mu Chunyang finally gave a piece of information related to this. Perhaps it could provide some help to their subsequent actions.
After repeatedly verifying the authenticity of the information, Jiang Li locked them in the Shu Mountain Demon Subduing Pagoda.
…
Three days later.
A stone door to a quiet room was pushed open from the inside. A thin figure walked out.
After breaking through in seclusion, she had not seen the sun for a long time, causing her to squint her eyes slightly. Under the glaring light, she could not see clearly, but there was a familiar figure quietly waiting in front of her.
She blinked hard. When her eyes adjusted to the light outside, she saw the person in front of her clearly.
After the initial surprise, many complicated emotions surfaced in her heart.
“Jiang Li… Senior Brother, why are you here?”
The person waiting at Senior Sister Little Four’s door was the current Great Mountain Alliance Leader, Jiang Li.
The young woman’s expression was slightly complicated, and her words were a little distant. She had not seen Jiang Li for a period of time, and she had only heard rumors about this fellow disciple of hers.
Although it was all news about Jiang Li, her heart slowly became more and more worried and uneasy.
Especially after Jiang Li suddenly became the Alliance Leader of the Great Mountain Alliance, this worry became even stronger.
The gap between the successful and famous Jiang Li and an ordinary disciple like her was growing larger and larger. Their relationship might not be like before anymore.
However, a loud clang pulled her out of her thoughts.
Jiang Li took out a three-meter-tall pill furnace from nowhere and smashed it in front of her.
As a genius alchemist, the young girl instinctively graded the pill furnace.
This material, this luster, and this spiritual carving even had a dense medicinal fragrance that seeped into the pill furnace. It was at least top-grade Profound-rank and above!
Using this thing to refine pills, even a handful of soil could refine Yellow-rank pills.
“Senior Sister Little Four, congratulations on breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm. This is a gift for you. Quickly open the lid and take a look.”
Little Four had broken through to the Foundation Establishment realm. According to the order of entry, Jiang Li called her senior sister again, making this senior sister who had helped him a lot back then happy.
He patted the thick metal furnace again.
“Is the sound good? If it’s nice, it’s a good furnace.”
“Who evaluates a pill furnace like that?”
However, before she could react, Jiang Li handed a ribbon to her and she instinctively pulled it gently.
Then, the lid exploded, and more than ten rays of light instantly shot into the sky, exploding into gorgeous fireworks.
“Good, beautiful.”
“Since Senior Sister is also at the Foundation Establishment realm, I think we should address each other properly. I’ll call you Senior Sister, and you’ll call me Senior Brother. How about that?”
After returning to the Scripture Storage Valley, he was not in a hurry to leave. He happened to hear that Little Four was breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm, so he waited at the entrance of the quiet room.
Among the spoils of war in the Hundred Tempering Mountain, he directly took a top-grade pill furnace as a gift. He also modified a few Sky Penetrating Lightning Crackers to hide them as fireworks to celebrate.
Looking at the pill furnace that was still emitting white smoke and the still looking Jiang Li, Little Four also found the feeling of getting along with him back then.
“Hmph, that’s more like it. I was originally your Senior Sister Little Four!”
Senior Sister Little Four smiled very happily. As expected, Jiang Li, this former junior brother who did not have any talent in alchemy, did not change at all.
However, as she smiled, her eyes turned red again.
“Senior Brother Jiang Li, you’re leaving, right?”
Everyone knew that Jiang Li was about to leave the Great Mountain Region, so she naturally knew as well.
Once he left the Great Mountain Region, it would be a long time before he returned.
Little Four, who was obsessed with alchemy and could not free herself, actually did not have many friends in the Scripture Storage Valley. Now that Jiang Li was leaving, she felt inexplicably sad.
“No, I’m not leaving. We’re leaving.”
“Our Great Mountain Alliance still lacks a beautiful genius alchemist. I wonder if Senior Sister Little Four is qualified for this position?”
It turned out that Jiang Li was not here to say goodbye to her, but to invite her to join.
Little Four was stunned. He suddenly wanted to take her away?
Her family and teachers were all in the Scripture Storage Valley and had never gone out in their lives. Ever since she could remember, she had been playing in the medicinal herbs pile.
Letting her leave the Great Mountain Region at once should be a difficult decision.
However, Little Four’s small face turned red. Then, she puffed up her chest that was obviously different in size after reaching the Foundation Establishment realm.
“Then, Senior Brother Alliance Leader will help me move the pill furnace!”
Alright, a three-meter-tall pill furnace was indeed not something that ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators could move.
…
As the Alliance Leader of the Great Mountain Alliance, Jiang Li was naturally not alone this time. Why did he not bring more trusted people with him?
The main family’s Scripture Storage Valley’s Senior Sister Little Four, Senior Sister Qi Yu, Senior Sister Liu Mulan, Senior Brother Xiang Yuanba, and Yan Hong.
Shenshan Qiuhua of Shu Mountain, Chang Wanzhou, sword cultivator clone Tang Yan.
There was also Benevolent Travel Temple’s Master Le Yuan.
They had all been invited by Jiang Li to join the Great Mountain Alliance. A portion of them were even prepared to leave the Great Mountain Region with him.
Before leaving, Jiang Li ordered people to deal with the Golden Tooth Sect and a few other disobedient forces. This way, there was no need to start a war again.
The current leaders of those sects were all rebels who had just seized power not long ago. They did not have much prestige to begin with.
The Great Mountain Alliance only sent out one or two Nascent Soul cultivators and easily captured them.
The disciples did not waste any time and absorbed all of them into the newly established Immortal Opportunity convoy.
There was a huge shortage of manpower here. The more people who did chores, the better. When they were free, they could even dig a mine and cut down a tree or something.
After settling a series of chores, a total of five flying ships set off at the headquarters of the Great Mountain Alliance. They brought along a large amount of production from the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm and sped towards the eastern capital of the Great Mountain Region.
After leaving the Great Mountain Region, there was another unknown journey and challenge ahead.
…
Jiang Li stood at the bow of the flying ship and looked at the distant scenery.
At this moment, his expression suddenly changed.
“He’s finally awake?”
He muttered to himself before turning around and returning to his luxurious cabin as if he had thought of something. He closed his eyes and sat down.
His consciousness left his body and traveled far away.
Finally, in a blood-colored world, he opened his eyes.
Crack ~ Crack ~
A blood-red egg slowly shattered, and a small and delicate yaksha crawled out.
Was this the Asura World?
Jiang Li’s consciousness descended into the body of the Fallen Blood Yaksha clone. Once again, he saw the environment of the Asura World that was different from the continent of the Nine Provinces.
At the end of the Hundred Tempering Mountain battle, his third Parallel Mind had entered the Fallen Blood Yaksha’s body and had yet to complete its mission.
The gourd filled with high-grade spiritual liquid landed in the blood pool.
The shocking explosion and torrential blood wave instantly swallowed the Fallen Blood Yaksha.
This yaksha was extremely unlucky, dying on the spot.
However, although the yaksha had died, Jiang Li discovered that his third Parallel Mind was not forcefully removed. It still remained in the Asura World and entered a state similar to reincarnation.
On the continent of the Nine Provinces, after that Age of Non-Cultivation, the reincarnation cycle of the underworld had long collapsed. Jiang Li originally thought that this function of the Bodhisattva Heart Sutra would never be used again.
He did not expect that when the Fallen Blood Yaksha died, because it was immersed in a large amount of crazy blood, it actually turned into a blood egg and underwent a self-incarnation cycle.
After finally breaking out of the shell, Jiang Li’s third Parallel Mind had already occupied this body. From his body to his soul, he had completely become a native creature of the Asura World.
Jiang Li controlled his clone to study this body for a long time.
“Being reborn in the blood pool waves seems to have made the blood of madness in this body become much richer… but what’s wrong with this body? Isn’t it a little too weak?”
The newly born yaksha clone was red in color and had two horns and wings on his back, but he was as chubby as a baby and was less than a foot tall.
Jiang Li could not adapt to this weak body.
However, he had just been born after all, so he could not make things difficult for himself.
“Eh, there’s a companion treasure in the blood egg?”
Jiang Li climbed up the blood egg and discovered that there was a black trident about his height inside.
With a nimble tail, he rolled the black trident into his hand.
The yaksha was born with a trident. It was quite reasonable.
Jiang Li, who was used to using the Dragon Imprisoning Lock and the Immortal Slaying Flying Sword, looked down on such low-grade goods.
Holding the trident, he casually stabbed at a large rock beside him.
Pew!
Three small holes appeared on the rock, and then the egg white-like substance bubbled out.
Jiang Li was stunned. He looked at his eggshell and then at the rock in front of him… Alright, so this was an egg.
Then…
He crawled to the egg in front of him. At a glance, on this blood-colored plain, everywhere he could see were densely packed with large and small blood eggs.
This should be the result of the explosion of the blood pool at that time. It turned out that all the demons had been reborn here like his clone.
Jiang Li weighed the black trident in his hand and was thinking about what he should do in this blood-colored Asura World.
At this moment, his tail instinctively moved, stabbing into the small hole he had just dug. Blood was drawn into his body.
Jiang Li only felt a warm current enter his tail and quickly spread throughout his entire body, causing his entire body to tremble.
He tried to clench his fists.
“My strength has increased… and I’ve grown taller too.”
Was it so convenient for creatures of the Asura World to grow up? No wonder they killed and killed all day without stopping. So there was such a benefit.
No matter what, he had to let this body grow up first.
Then, the Fallen Blood Yaksha began his boring and repetitive egg crushing plan.
Wherever the yaksha passed, there was not a single good egg left. These unlucky blood eggs died again before they could be reborn and became nutrients for the murderer to grow.
This was the rule of the Asura World, the norm.
Soon, other monsters began to appear, but the level of the yaksha clone’s blood of madness was far above theirs. There was also an expert from the other world, Jiang Li, controlling it personally.
Ignoring everything else, just the Ghost Lantern Cold Flame projected by his consciousness was enough to make him invincible in this area.
There was no sun or moon in Asura World, so he could not know the passage of time.
However, after absorbing about three thousand blood eggs, the yaksha clone’s body had already swelled to two meters.
It had the strength of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. Not to mention anything else, the speed at which it grew was truly enviable.
Jiang Li was just about to continue killing when a strange language suddenly sounded from afar.
If one imitated a strange syllable with a human mouth, the only result would be gibberish.
However, when that voice landed in the yaksha clone’s ears, an irrefutable sentence automatically appeared in his mind.
“All of you trash, listen up! Obey the orders of the Great Asura Vemacitrin and come to me now!”
