Chapter 408: Planting Immortal Crystals

“What?”

Jin Sidao’s eyes were round and bulging. Convinced that he had heard it wrong, he could not help asking, “Mister Jiang, who did you say you just killed?”

“A Golden Immortal of the Green Hill Foxes!”

Jiang He was a little speechless.

You are a high and mighty full-fledged swords cultivator, and even if your cultivation was a little weak, you could not even hear that?

Keeping his patience, Jiang He repeated himself. “Like I said, I just got rid of a Golden Immortal of the Green Hill Foxes, and now I’m about to ambush the immortals of the other nine sects. I’m therefore asking you to inform factions such as the Taixu Sect and Jiuhua Sect, and to ask them step into outside space with me for a bit.”

Glug!

Jin Sidao’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he was unsure what to say just then.

A Golden Immortal?

That’s a Golden Immortal you’re talking about!

Is Jiang He already this powerful?

Was it not only one month since he ascended as an immortal?

Jin Sidao could not help but celebrate his choice before at that thought. If he had not sided with Jiang He then... the same thing would have befallen them now!

Imagining the mind-boggling sight of the returning immortals being ambushed halfway through their return, Jin Sidao could not help shuddering and mused, “Mister Jiang, we need to go about this from a long-term perspective since those nine factions have many elites, and no one knows how many there are. It would be better to wait for them when they return to the homeworld, and it would be easier for the Jiuhua Sect and the other factions to fight them then.”

“No.”

Jiang He shook his head, saying, “Earth itself would fall apart if a battle of such scale occurred on it, with untold numbers of casualties. That is why the best idea now is to keep the fight in space.”

“Moreover...”

Pausing, Jiang He took a look at Jin Sidao then and smiled, “As for the allying the elites of our current ally clans to fight other clans... heck, even if it’s your Ten Thousand Swords Sect, would you still have any say in sect matters once your clan elites return?”

Jin Sidao shuddered and said nothing for a long time.

Right!

Did his stance represent the stance of the returning Ten Thousand Swords Sect elites?

Nonetheless, Jiang He smiled nonchalantly. “That was why I must move lightning-quick to intimidate the immortals, that they must stick to the rules even if they return to Earth, and that death comes to those who don’t.”

“So, hurry up and contact the other sects now.”

“Very well, Mister Jiang.”

Jin Sidao hence began to contact the other sects.

As for the possibility of hostile sects such as the Unbounded Demon Sect, Blood Demon Sect, and Blue Cloud Sect learning about the leaked news?

That was not worth worrying at all.

So what if they learned about it?

While Mahayana elites could journey across the stars with their physical bodies, it would take ten days or even half a month for them to reach Mars.

Trying to give the immortals a heads up? It would be more likely they would end up dead.

And half an hour later, the two Mahayana elites of the Taixu Sect arrived.

Then, it was the Jiuhua Sect and the Scaled Dragons of Shennongjia, as well as the other four sects that had never fought against Jiang He.

Like how Jin Sidao had reacted before, shock registered all over their faces.

Unbeknownst to them, Jiang He was even more shocked, even exclaiming in surprise, “Just eight factions? Where are the others?”

Jin Sidao quietly said, “Mister Jiang, there are a total of twenty immortal sects, demonic sects, and daemon clans. Moreover, the Foxes of Mount Changbai are now completely secluded, the Green Hill Foxes and the Penglai Sect wiped out, leaving just the nine factions. Of them, the legacy of the Thousand Cavern Mountain was lost too...”

Jiang He was dumbstruck.

Woah.

Twenty factions, and twelve were hostile against him?

Aside from the Foxes of Mount Changbai, the Green Hill Foxes, which Jiang He himself had wiped out, as well as the Blood Cloud Sect and the Joy Valley, whose immortals had all died, there were still eight factions of immortals whom he had to fight?

He felt a little pressured at that.

Jiang He hence took out a palace, which expanded instantly once it dropped to the ground. An immortal item, it glowed in immortal radiance, and Jiang He pointed at it while saying, “Get inside that immortal item. I’ll be giving you all a ride.”

While Jin Sidao and the others stepped inside the palace, the Mahayana cultivator from the Jiuhua Sect frowned. Studying it from top to bottom, he exclaimed in surprise, “This palace looks remarkably similar to the Blue Cloud Pavilion belonging to the Blue Cloud Sect, but that one is merely a demi-immortal item... eh?”

He had looked up then, and found that the sign plaque in front of the palace was inscribed with three large words—Blue Cloud Pavilion. His gaze twitching, his voice started to shake, “Mister Jiang, this palace...”

“It was indeed that demi-immortal item from the Blue Cloud Sect. However, I strengthened it after I received it, and it is now an inferior-grade demi-immortal item!”

The Daoist from the Jiuhua Sect did a double take.

Incidentally, Jiang He had launched services for ‘mystic item strengthening’ and ‘Sufferance survival assistance’, which the six Sufferance-tier elites from the Jiuhua Sect had benefited from. They were all at their ninth retributions now, and after some period of refinement and cultivation, they would steadily advance up to Mahayana.

It was not just the Jiuhua Sect either—the other sects allied to Jiang He were rewarded considerably as well, and it was a major profit even though they had to pay Jiang He with treasures.

After all, the thunderbolts of retribution on each Sufferance tier would leave one’s body dead and Dao diminished if they failed to survive. Only a minor few cultivator who had failed would continue cultivating as Untitled Cultivators.

Likewise, some members of the Jiuhua Sect had their mystic treasures strengthened as well.

Everyone had attributed it to Jiang He’s mystic powers of crafting, and it was even claimed that someone had a superior-grade sage item strengthened up to premium-grade sage-item... and now, it turned out that demi-immortal items can be improved to immortal items?

What could that method be?

Anyone who could craft premium-grade sage items would already be a grandmaster of item-refinement. As for someone who could craft immortal items... the services such individuals would be extremely valuable!

The Daoist of the Jiuhua Sect remembered about Jiang He’s Clear Sky Mirror then—it had been a demi-immortal item belonging to the Penglai Sect, which only made Jiang He’s capabilities evident.

“The immortals of my sect might interfere if Jiang He would insist on fighting the immortals whose sect he had provoked. When the time comes, I must dissuade them, even if it means death!”

Indeed, it was not only the Daoist of the Jiuhua Sect who had such an opinion.

On the other hand, Jiang He watched as the many Mahayana cultivators entered the palace when a thought occurred to him.

If I blow up that palace right now, every Mahayana cultivator inside would be killed!

Nonetheless, he leapt vertical into the skies.

Knowing him well, Hu Mei turned into her true form—the hundred-meter-long white fox—beneath Jiang He’s crotch.

As a matter of fact, she would rather Jiang He ride her in her human form than in her true form, but there was no helping it since Jiang He was reluctant.

And around an hour later, they arrived where Mars had been.

Taking out the palace, Jiang He released the Mahayana cultivators while he returned into his farm in a flash.

It had been more than two hours since he had planted the immortal crystals.

Considering the timing...

The immortal crystals must have ripened!
