Chapter 1793: Chapter 226: Jiang Fuling
The Void Grandmaster has made limited moves in Xiehe, yet the might of the Void Spiritual Body has attracted envy from all directions, with the most eager among them being the dicine God Sect, renowned for their pharmacological expertise.
After Lei Gongteng, the Void Grandmaster of Little Miasma Peak, had a brief encounter with Tang Luo, the dicine God Sect seed as though it had been poisoned by the Void Spiritual Body. One after another, they all saw the future of their sect tied to this pursuit.
Compared to the previously popular Wood Spiritual Body, the martial artists on Little Miasma Peak were now exhausting their minds in an effort to complete this research.
However, Void Energy is excessively obscure and violent. Even the Superior Heavenly Sects in Zhongzhou have failed to fully ta it, especially regarding the refinent of bodies. They simply cannot imagine the level of resilience required to endure such extre pain.
According to estimates by several grandmasters on Little Miasma Peak, the pain caused during Void Body Refinent is equivalent to thousands of tis the agony inflicted by certain neurotoxic substances. Setting aside whether the physical body could adapt to such tornt, the trembling of the soul alone would cause even the most strong-willed martial artist to faint instantly. Once the guiding will is lost, the rampant Void Energy within the body would be akin to committing suicide.
Reaching this point in the research nearly equated to announcing its failure. Cornered, the grandmasters of Little Miasma Peak began appealing to their sect for help.
Adhering to the philosophy that “two minds are better than one,” Chief Jiang Fuling of the dicine God Sect imdiately made the decision to consolidate the sect’s grandmaster-level forces to support Little Miasma Peak, ordering different mountain factions to send grandmasters to assist in the study of the Void Spiritual Body’s revival.
This kind of large-scale grandmaster council was held over twenty tis in two years, and the wholehearted efforts of dozens of grandmasters truly enabled the dicine God Sect to discover a winding and treacherous path amidst seeming impossibility.
[If a powerful force of vitality could protect the Sea of Consciousness and the soul, could it achieve a balance between destruction and healing, offsetting the pain caused during Void Body Refinent?]
Great endeavors often begin with a feasible idea, and with their expertise in the Dao of dicine, no one excels in preserving life as the dicine God Sect does.
To others, this seemingly fantastical approach appeared plausible in the eyes of these dical masters.
After nearly a hundred experints over six months, the dicine God Sect grew increasingly confident in the completion of this research.
Especially the grandmasters of Little Miasma Peak; whenever they thought about the potential standardization of the Void Spiritual Body among their sect’s elites, they couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Today was no different from any other day—the grandmasters of various peaks were imrsed in debating experintal results. Yet, Jiang Qinjiao’s abrupt intrusion disrupted all scholarly atmosphere.
“Chief, there’s trouble!”
Highly valued as an elder of the outer sect, Jiang Qinjiao hastened to the chief’s side, bowing his head and whispering, “The new king of Red Cloud Mountain has arrived to visit our sect and is now at Welcoming Guest Peak!”
The grandmasters, with their keen senses, heard Jiang Qinjiao’s murmurs clearly despite his lowered voice.
Upon learning of the king’s visit, dozens of eyes turned towards the chief simultaneously, filled with questioning intent.
Although a Martial Arts Monarch might compel ninety percent of worldly sects to bow in submission, he was of little consequence in the eyes of the physicians of the dicine God Sect.
No one could guarantee they wouldn’t fall ill. Even those seemingly immune to maladies may have family, friends, or loved ones who are vulnerable.
The transcendent status of the dicine God Sect stems from their identity as healers. The accumulated favors of the Undying World from antiquity to present—if unleashed—even a Saint King would be dwarfed by comparison.
They didn’t understand the new king’s intentions in coming here, but they certainly weren’t intimidated. On the contrary, the grandmasters who’d made progress in their research were looking forward to testing their findings against royalty.
Even though grandmasters from the dicine God Sect were cultivated as physicians, they remained martial arts grandmasters at their core, their veins still surging with a warrior’s battle-hardened spirit.
Jiang Fuling, as the dicine God Sect’s chief, would never allow things to take an unpredictable and senseless turn. A king’s visit, patiently waiting at Welcoming Guest Peak—clearly, he bore no ill intent.
Moreover, what level of courtesy would be unworthy when receiving a Martial Arts Monarch?
Chief Jiang Fuling rose and said solemnly to Jiang Qinjiao, “Quickly, accompany to pay respects to that renowned dean of Xiehe.”
With that, the atmosphere of the eting was set. The disappointed grandmasters in the underground hall rely shook their heads and resud their prior debates.
As for the king’s visit? A king without pedigree—is his mastery even worth considering?
…
dicine God Sect, Welcoming Guest Peak
“Dean, visiting us without prior notice—please forgive our lack of preparation!”
From afar, Chief Jiang Fuling’s unabashedly excited tone echoed within the hall, drawing Tang Luo to rise and appraise the swiftly approaching sect leader.
Draped in an unknown-material white robe, with silver-gray shoulder-length hair, and slightly lifted deep-phoenix eyes exuding sincerity—though a stranger, his natural aura sparked imdiate rapport and willingness to engage.
This was no hypnotic tactic—simply innate charm, naturally endearing.
“Long have I heard of Chief Jiang’s reputation; upon eting today, you are indeed extraordinary, truly the youngest sect chief in dicine God Sect’s history.”
This was perhaps the kindest monarch Jiang Fuling had ever encountered—friendly enough to suggest a visiting envoy. Pleased beyond words, he was further assured of Tang Luo’s goodwill as he waved off the complint with a laugh: “Dean praises undeservedly. My ascension to the role of sect chief is rely a consequence of my ancestor’s favor, hardly an accomplishnt. Yet, your Unparalleled Academy achieved in re years what most sects require millennia to accomplish—now that is truly extraordinary!”
Although flattering, Jiang Fuling’s sincerity made every word ring genuine, causing Tang Luo to unknowingly lift the corners of his mouth.
The two individuals, seemingly kindred spirits, exchanged polite remarks before Tang Luo finally conveyed his purpose for visiting.
“This is wonderful news!”
Upon learning that Tang Luo intended to preach in the dicine God Sect, Jiang Fuling clapped his hands in excitent, exclaiming, “If other sects knew the Unparalleled Academy dean’s first lecturing stop was the dicine God Sect of the Undying World, they’d be green with envy. Please wait a mont; I’ll make the arrangents imdiately! If the dean doesn’t mind, I’d hope to permit the sect elders to listen to the Thunderous Dao as well—would that be acceptable?”
“Chief, please feel free to arrange as needed.”
Tang Luo nodded with a courteous smile, replying, “Though I must admit, my cultivation remains shallow—may the wise elders of your sect not be disappointed.”
“Dean, you are far too modest.”
Jiang Fuling rose and marveled, “The venue for the lecture will be set on He Shou Peak—the largest among the seventy-two primary peaks—and the timing shall be tomorrow. What say you?”
“All arrangents shall be as the chief decides.”
Tang Luo nodded politely.
“Then it’s settled!”
Jiang Fuling smiled brightly: “Please, Elder Qinjiao, escort the dean and this gentleman to the auxiliary courtyard on He Shou Peak for so rest while I make the arrangents imdiately!”
With that, the dicine God Sect’s chief departed hurriedly, leaving Elder Qinjiao to respectfully lead Tang Luo and Yun Xiu to He Shou Peak.
Having brought the two to the bamboo courtyard with its subtle and refreshing fragrance, he politely took his leave.
