Looking at the chat information recorded in the Holy Academy Token.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but smile: "So Senior Brother Qu Qing didn't say a word before, he was just peeking at the screen!"

Qu Qing smiled and said, "It's too boring to stay in the Saint Academy alone, so I'll just watch it if I have nothing to do! Now that my junior brother is silent, it's less fun."

“It was particularly interesting to see how Junior Brother repeatedly shocked his fellow Junior Brothers!”

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "It seems that Senior Brother Qu is a little bored staying here. Why don't you consider going out for a walk?"

Qu Qing shook his head slightly: "Forget it! I don't want to go out for the time being, it's good to stay in the Holy Courtyard!"

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan didn't say much and just raised his glass slightly.

"I toast to my senior brother!"

The two of them drank for a while, and by the time Jiang Yuan walked out of the courtyard, it was already sunset.

Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly to dispel the drunkenness in his mind.

Then he walked towards the corner where Gong Yelie was.

A moment later.

Ding ding ding——

The familiar sound of blacksmithing came into Jiang Yuan's ears again.

Hearing the rhythmic sound of iron hammering, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but smile.

Every time I come here, no matter day or night, I can hear the monotonous iron-forging sound from Senior Brother Gong Yelie.

It can be seen that Senior Brother Gong Yelie is truly passionate about forging weapons.

Jiang Yuan walked straight towards the direction where Gong Yelie was.

Another moment passed.

"Senior Brother Gongye!"

Jiang Yuan looked at the man in front of him with bronze muscles and a strong build, and spoke slowly.

"Little Junior Brother, wait a moment!"

Gong Yelie's deep voice instantly covered up the sound of iron hammering and reached Jiang Yuan's ears clearly.

"Okay! I'm not in a hurry! Senior brother, get busy first!"

Jiang Yuan spoke again with a slight smile on his face.

At the same time, his mind moved slightly, and the golden mist on Gong Yelie's body was instantly harvested by him.

At this time, Gong Yelie was swinging the giant hammer in his hand faster and faster.

Every time the hammer fell, it was like a thunder exploding in Jiang Yuan's ears.

In an instant, the loud noises turned into continuous thunder.

After half a cup of tea.

Gong Yelie stopped swinging the giant hammer.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned to look at Jiang Yuan, and then grinned.

"Junior brother, how come you have time to come and see me today!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "I returned to the Holy Academy with the dean during the day, so I came to see you and treat you to a drink."

As he spoke, a pot of wine appeared in Jiang Yuan's hand and he threw it at Gong Yelie.

Gongye Lie opened the stopper of the wine jug and took a sip with his nose.

Jiang Yuan said: "Brother, you don't need to smell it, this is the real strong liquor of Beimo!"

Gong Yelie took a deep breath towards the wine jug, and his face was immediately filled with intoxication.

"It's really strong liquor!"

"And it's Beimo's strong liquor!"

He then looked at Jiang Yuan and smiled brightly: "Little Junior Brother still understands me!"

"Come, Senior Brother, let me offer a toast to Junior Brother. I wish Junior Brother can ascend to the Great Dao as soon as possible!"

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly: "Thank you for your kind words, Senior Brother!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan also raised the wine jug to signal a clash in the air, then poured it into his throat in big gulps.

"Junior brother is so straightforward!"

Gong Yelie praised.

He also gulped down the wine, some of it spilled onto his chest, and suddenly the place was filled with the aroma of wine.

“Good wine!”

After finishing his swig, Gong Yelie exclaimed in admiration.

"belch--"

Then, as the alcohol began to rise, he let out another long burp.

"Junior brother, you can drink quite a lot!"

Gong Yelie saw that Jiang Yuan remained calm after taking a big gulp of the food, and immediately praised him.

Jiang Yuan smiled immediately and said nothing more.

With his current physical condition, he can certainly drink quite well!

Moreover, once the wine entered his stomach, it was instantly devoured and refined. How could it have any effect on him?

A moment later.

The two of them sat under a tree, their drinks slowly running out.

The sun gradually sets behind the mountains.

"Little Junior Brother, what realm have you reached now?"

Gong Yelie suddenly spoke.

Jiang Yuan said: "Brother, why do you suddenly ask this?"

Gong Yelie then said: "Brother has recently made some good magic weapons. Let me see what your realm is like. If you can match them, I will give them to you."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan said, "Dongtian!"

"Junior brother's breakthrough was so fast?" Gong Yelie was a little surprised, then nodded slowly: "Yes, during the battle between the two clans, Junior brother had already reached the limit of the Four Extremes."

"It has been several months since the alliance between the two clans and the battle. With the speed of improvement of Junior Brother, he should have opened up the cave world and broken through the cave realm."

Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded slightly when he heard this.

At this time, Gong Yelie looked at Jiang Yuan with curiosity again: "Junior brother, can you show me your aura? You have broken through the cave heaven, and I should give you some gifts."

Jiang Yuan smiled when he heard this: "Brother, do you really want me to show my aura?"

Gong Yelie nodded: "Of course! I am also very curious about my junior brother's cultivation. Junior brother, just consider this as satisfying my curiosity!"

Speaking of this, Gong Yelie looked reminiscent again.

"I still remember the first time I met my junior brother. At that time, he had just entered the Dharma Realm."

"In just such a short time, my junior brother's cultivation has surpassed mine by far."

"Dongtian Realm! This is a realm that I will never be able to enter in my lifetime."

When he said the last sentence, endless emotion was revealed in his eyes.

Jiang Yuan smiled, and the aura of the ninth level of the Cave Heaven Realm was instantly revealed.

The enormous pressure also dissipated in all directions, and a vast cave world vaguely emerged behind him.

"What level of Cave Heaven Realm aura is this?" Gong Yelie's pupils shrank and he spoke with some horror.

"Ninth level!" Jiang Yuan said lightly.

"Ninth level?" Gong Yelie opened his eyes, somewhat incredulous.

Jiang Yuan smiled, looked into Gong Yelie's eyes as big as copper bells, and then nodded slowly.

"Yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the aura on Jiang Yuan's body was also restrained into his body.

Gong Yelie's wildly fluctuating emotions gradually calmed down.

But the look in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Yuan was still full of disbelief.

Then he smiled bitterly: "It's really pitiful for the genius who was born in the same era as my junior brother! No matter how outstanding the genius is, in front of my junior brother, he will eventually become a foil."

At this point, a smile suddenly broke out on his face: "Fortunately, I am not a genius! If my junior brother can reach the top in the future, I, as his senior brother, will also be proud!"

Looking at the smile on Gong Yelie's face, Jiang Yuan was suddenly stunned.

He showed off his aura just to satisfy his evil taste and see how Gong Yelie would perform.

Apart from his closest people in Taixuan Sect and Uncle Ma, the only people who could make him feel inexplicably relaxed were his senior brothers in the Holy Academy.

One can feel a deep sense of care and concern from them, which is the concern and care that senior brothers have for their junior brothers.

Because of this, Jiang Yuan felt inexplicably relaxed when getting along with his fellow brothers.

It’s like being with your closest family, and feeling inexplicably relaxed when you’re around your closest people.

That's why I wanted to play a little joke on Gong Yelie and see the look of surprise on his face.

Gong Yelie's performance now was far beyond his expectations, and he calmly accepted this fact in just a short moment.

At this moment, Gong Yelie spoke again with a smile.

"Now that Junior Brother has such outstanding strength, I can't help you with anything!"

"Those magical weapons I made are not worthy of my junior brother's attention."

"But since you just boasted, I should give you a gift to celebrate your breakthrough to the Cave Heaven Realm."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan could sense some changes in Gong Yelie's heart and immediately spoke.

"Brother, don't mind. I just happen to be in need of a magic sword. Just give me a sword-like spiritual weapon."

Gong Yelie shook his head slightly.

"The strongest divine sword I can forge here is only a mid-grade spiritual weapon, which is not suitable for your current strength and status."

"With Junior Brother's terrifying progress, it won't be long before he becomes a human saint!"

Jiang Yuan said again: "It doesn't matter. As long as it's a gift from my senior brother, I'm very happy as his junior brother."

Upon hearing this, Gong Yelie glanced at Jiang Yuan and scolded him with a smile.

"You kid, are you afraid of hurting my self-esteem?"

"Don't worry! I can still afford this gift now!"

"Since you have made such a boast, I must give you a gift that suits your status!"

"But when you achieve enlightenment and become a saint, I won't have a suitable gift for you!"

Jiang Yuan said: "That's fine!"

"Go on!" Gong Yelie spoke.

An object glowing white suddenly appeared in his hand, and he threw it towards Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan quickly raised his hand to catch it.

When he opened his hands, he saw that the object in his hand was a piece of magic iron, as big as a fist.

This piece of magic iron is filled with the light of Gengjin, and its entire body is covered with white light as thin as needles.

Gong Yelie said: "This piece of Taibai Divine Iron is one of the main materials that can be used to forge Taoist soldiers!"

"I obtained it by chance that year. I originally wanted to wait until my weapon forging skills were further improved and my cultivation reached the Cave Heaven Realm before I could forge weapons myself."

"I can't use it for a while now, so I'll give it to my junior brother as a gift."

"With Junior Brother's strength, he should be able to attain sainthood in the near future!"

"It just so happens that Junior Brother just said that you are missing a magic weapon."

"This piece of Taibai Divine Iron has the patterns of the Gengjin Dao and the Dao of the Sword. Junior Brother can use it to forge a Dao weapon."

Jiang Yuan immediately shook his head and said, "Brother, such a piece of divine iron as the main material is enough to forge a low-grade Taoist sword. It is too precious!"

Gong Yelie grinned and said, "What's so precious about it? I have kept this thing here for who knows how many years, and I still can't use it at all."

"With my talent, I don't know when I will be able to enter the Cave Heaven Realm!"

"If you leave it here with me, this piece of Taibai Divine Iron is also a divine object covered in dust, it would be a bit of a waste of a divine object."

"This item is truly suitable for my junior brother."

“Besides, with Junior Brother’s speed of improvement, if I can break through the Cave Heaven Realm in my lifetime, by then Junior Brother might have already reached the pinnacle.”

"If that day ever comes, Junior Brother will have to take better care of Senior Brother."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan nodded calmly.

"I would do the same without you telling me, brother!"

"This thing is indeed useful to me, so I would be disrespectful if you refuse it."

Gong Yelie smiled and said, "It's only right! We are brothers, so why should we be so polite to each other?"

Jiang Yuan smiled and put the Taibai magic iron in his pocket.

As the Jade Rabbit slowly rose, Jiang Yuan also bid farewell to Gong Yelie and left.

Walking in the holy courtyard.

Jiang Yuan glanced at his own panel.

[Power of Luck]: 81517 strands

Then he nodded with satisfaction and closed his own panel.

After harvesting the luck power of the two senior brothers and the young girl, the amount of luck power increased by hundreds of strands, and it was one step closer to the 100,000-strand mark.

A moment later.

Jiang Yuan came to Dugu Bo's small courtyard.

"Dean, here I come!"

Jiang Yuan spoke.

As he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Dugu Bo lying quietly on a lounge chair beside the pond.

This time was different from before. Every time he came here, Dugu Bo would fish here.

He had seen with his own eyes Dugu Bo fish out a white elephant from this pond.

He didn't understand it at that time.

Now I understand a little bit.

That should be Dugu Bo's use of time and space. Even though he was thousands of miles away, one domain or even several domains away, he could directly fish out the genius of the demon clan and kill him.

This method is simply miraculous.

Even I can't do it now.

Although I am outstanding now, I am not inferior to many saints.

However, he was still far inferior to Dugu Bo at this time. Dugu Bo's mastery of the extraordinary avenue of space was better than his, and he seemed to have mastered part of the avenue of time.

The gap between the two is extremely huge.

At this time, Dugu Bo heard Jiang Yuan's voice and his slightly closed eyes opened.

A smile appeared on his lips: "Have you met Qu Qing and Gong Yelie?"

Jiang Yuan nodded: "I'm done with my greetings!"

Dugu Bo smiled and nodded: "Okay, but I won't go to Tianyuan Holy Land tonight. After all, it's late at night, and it would be a bit bad to disturb my old friend at this time!"

"Early tomorrow morning, we will climb the gate of Tianyuan Holy Land again!"

Jiang Yuan bowed and said, "Okay! Then I will take my leave first."

Dugu Bo nodded: "Go!"

Jiang Yuan then left the courtyard.

After walking out of the small courtyard where Dugu Bo was, Jiang Yuan immediately looked up at the sky.

I saw a bright moon hanging high above my head, and the cold moonlight scattered like water, covering the earth with a thin veil.

"Where should we go now?"

Jiang Yuan murmured.

Then he glanced at Taixuan Gate from a distance.

"Forget it, I won't go back yet!"

Jiang Yuan shook his head again.

At this time, with his speed, it would not take much time for him to return to Taixuan Gate.

It's there in a flash.

But I still have to go to Tianyuan Holy Land tomorrow.

It is not appropriate to return to Taixuanmen.

Thinking of his little maid, Jiang Yuan felt a headache.

If the news of Ye Chanxi's relationship with him were to get out and reach her ears, it would probably give her a headache.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yuan rubbed his eyebrows.

"Forget it, let's not think about it! Let's just take it one step at a time!"

Jiang Yuan muttered to himself, then shook his head slightly, as if trying to completely get rid of the image in his mind.

A moment later.

Jiang Yuan came to the dormitory building.

Seeing the dormitory buildings in front of him, Jiang Yuan felt a little complicated.

This place was once the dean’s dream.

He dreamed that the Holy Academy could be on par with the Divine Academy, with three thousand students and a bustling and noisy atmosphere.

Nowadays, such a huge holy temple is so deserted.

Usually, only Senior Brother Qu Qing, Senior Brother Gong Yelie, and the dean stay in this huge holy academy.

Today, it is only because of Senior Brother Qu Qing’s flesh and blood incarnation, which has evolved into many lives, that the Holy Academy seems to have some vitality.

But it was undoubtedly still extremely deserted.

Jiang Yuan looked at the lights in the dormitory building not far away that were gradually going out. These lights came from the flesh and blood incarnation of Senior Brother Qu Qing.

Then he slowly withdrew his gaze.

With a move of his body, he appeared on the roof of the dormitory building.

The cold moonlight scattered from the night sky like falling mercury.

The wind blowing from the roof brings the coolness of autumn and a sense of solemnity.

At this time, leaves were already falling in the holy temple.

"After I became successful in my practice, I didn't pay attention to the changes of the four seasons!"

Jiang Yuan sat cross-legged on the roof and sighed slightly.

Thinking back on the past, he was filled with emotion.

He had unknowingly come to this point, a scene he had never imagined in his mind.

His current strength is no different from the immortals and gods in mythology, and even surpasses the immortals and gods in mythology.

The physical body can travel across the universe, covering countless light years in a single day.

This was a scene that was completely unimaginable in the previous life.

If it were in his previous life, he would have been satisfied long ago.

You can enjoy eternal life and boundless power.

But in this world, he knew that this was far from enough!

Can't stop yet.

His so-called strength now can only be compared with that of a saint at most.

Above the saint, there is the supreme being.

Above the Supreme, there are the True Immortals.

Above the True Immortals there are the Immortal Lords, and above that there is the unfathomable Heavenly Lord.

As for whether the legendary Heavenly Emperor surpassed the level of Heavenly Venerate, he had no idea.

The person who is suspected to be the immortal is probably on his way back now, and he does not know the reason for his strength.

The more he understood, the more Jiang Yuan felt the horror of this world.

Crisis is everywhere.

Although the current strength seems powerful, in front of that supreme being, it may be no different from an ant.

Fortunately, the world is different now.

The connection between heaven and earth is cut off, and the human and immortal worlds are separated.

The levels of power in this world are limited.

The most powerful ones are probably the immortals sleeping in the three sacred mountains.

All he had to do was complete the plan and harvest the fruits of the Tao from the demon saints to aid his own practice.

Wait until I open up the secret realm of the spiritual platform and step into the pinnacle of the human realm.

Maybe I don't have to be afraid of those three immortals, then everything will not be a problem.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan felt much more at ease.

Things are moving forward step by step in the direction that I expected.

However, the final result will depend on whether the sixth level of the physical body that he deduced is feasible.

[Taoist Ancestor in the World]: Possessing transcendental characteristics, your understanding is beyond the world, you can open up a path without the way, you can observe the fortunes of heaven and earth, and take heaven and earth as your teacher. Your understanding is unprecedented and unmatched.

After taking a look at the description of his innate destiny on his panel, Jiang Yuan muttered to himself.

“It should work!”

"If that's not feasible, then there may have to be some changes in planning."

"If it is feasible, with the strength of the dean, it would not matter even if a true immortal came in person. With the strength of the dean, I am not afraid of a true immortal, and I can also overcome the saintly tribulation and become a saint."

"That huge heavenly calamity will surely provoke all the demons in the world to fight with all their might."

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan secretly clenched his fists, and his heart was not calm.

This step is a crucial part of his future planning.

It's extremely important to him.

Especially after knowing that the suspected immortal was returning to this world, his heart was filled with a sense of urgency.

No one knows how much turmoil such a powerful person’s return will bring.

Will he find me? Will I be in danger?

Jiang Yuan didn't know all this.

No idea when he will return.

Will it return in the next moment, or after thousands of years?

He doesn't know either.

At that unknown level, he had no idea.

All he can do is to enhance his own strength as much as possible and deal with all kinds of changes with the same attitude.

As long as he is strong enough, he can deal with it calmly no matter what the situation is in the future.

You can also protect the people you care about most.

As I was thinking about this, there was a slight fluctuation in the void, and a dark road leading to the sky emerged.

It appeared quietly like a piece of cloth, and then merged into Jiang Yuan's body.

at the same time.

Dugu Bo, who was closing his eyes in the courtyard, suddenly opened his eyes and withdrew from the Lingtai secret realm where he was deducing the sixth level of the physical body.

His eyes instantly looked in the direction where Jiang Yuan was, and his eyes instantly penetrated the void and saw what was happening around Jiang Yuan.

"Melting the Dao into the body, is this the Devouring Dao?"

“What an incredible achievement!!”

Dugu Bo murmured, his words filled with envy.

The power and uniqueness of the Devouring Avenue are fully demonstrated in Jiang Yuan.

The other side.

As the Devouring Avenue entered the body.

Jiang Yuan instantly saw on the panel that his mastery of the Devouring Avenue had skyrocketed.

After a few breaths, the rapid progress stopped.

[Avenue]: Devouring Avenue (24.66%). Taking a look at the changes on the panel, although the progress has only increased by 6% compared to before, the mastery of Devouring Avenue has only increased by more than half a percent.

But Jiang Yuan still had a faint smile on his face.

Because this growth in progress was not the result of his practice or comprehension, it was simply the automatic absorption of the Devouring Dao in his body.

Judging from this efficiency, even if it becomes more difficult as you go forward, after a certain amount of time, the new Devouring Avenue in your body will sooner or later completely swallow up the Devouring Avenue of this world and replace it.

That day was the day when he was promoted to the Lord of Devouring.

However, Jiang Yuan was not prepared to just wait. If it were someone else, he would naturally let the Devouring Avenue in his body slowly take over.

It can be seen from the return of Jiang Yuan's Devouring Avenue that as his cultivation level improves, the speed of replacing it is not slow.

It can even be said to be extremely fast! But this efficiency is still too slow for Jiang Yuan.

After all, this path is related to the effect of his layout when he transcended the tribulation and became a saint.

If by that time, when the starry sky is stained with blood and countless demon saints have perished, but I cannot eat those Tao fruits, what a waste it would be.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the Demon Saint Dao Fruit can be quickly devoured and refined that day, the mastery of the Devouring Dao is crucial.

This is the most critical part of Jiang Yuan’s plan.

"Let's try it out. I'll devour it myself to see if I can speed up the process of replacing it."

Jiang Yuan looked up into the void, muttering to himself.

The next moment.

The Devouring Avenue appeared again behind him and instantly merged into the depths of the void, attaching itself to the Devouring Avenue of this world.

It turned into a long dragon and clung to it firmly, constantly absorbing and devouring the rules of the Devouring Avenue.

As time slowly passed, the Devouring Avenue of this world shrank at an extremely slow speed, almost unnoticeable.

On the other hand, the Devouring Avenue belonging to Jiang Yuan is not large in size to begin with, and its growth rate is visible to the naked eye as it continues to devour and absorb.

Jiang Yuan closed his eyes slightly at this time, just feeling the changes.

Half an hour later.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

As the eyes opened and closed, a strange vision instantly appeared in the pupils, and double pupils appeared in the eyes.

Golden chains of order crisscrossed his eyes, and yin and yang energies were also flowing in his pupils.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan felt that his eyes could look up to the sky and explore the underworld.

Nothing can block his gaze. His eyes see through the essence of everything and point directly to the origin of all things.

Jiang Yuan looked up at the void, his eyes instantly piercing through layer after layer of the void, his gaze reaching the deepest part of the void.

The layer of space where the Three Thousand Great Ways are manifested.

If the eyes can reach this layer of space, they can more clearly see the changes of the Three Thousand Great Daos and the traces of the Great Dao patterns.

If you can see this level, comprehending the Three Thousand Great Ways will be countless times easier.

Even if one had the Dao patterns manifested in the lower-grade Dao soldiers as an object of comprehension, it would be difficult to compare with Jiang Yuan at this moment.

This is the effect of double pupils. The eyes can see through the essence of everything and point directly to the origin of all things.

Because throughout history, every human emperor with double pupils reached the pinnacle of the human realm and stepped into the supreme realm.

For practitioners with double pupils, their eyes can reach the origin of the world directly, and see clearly the changes in the Three Thousand Great Daos and the traces of the Great Dao patterns.

Therefore, comprehending the nine great ways is a must. For a being with ancient double pupils, this is not difficult.

In this way, it is naturally countless times easier for a being with double pupils to reach the pinnacle of the human realm than for other practitioners.

This is also the power of double pupils, which is of great help in spiritual practice.

Therefore, in Jiang Yuan's opinion, this innate luck is extremely powerful! It far exceeds most of the golden innate luck. Among the many golden innate lucks, this innate luck named [Ancient Double Pupils] is also one of the best.

at this time.

As Jiang Yuan gained insight into the changes in the Devouring Avenue and observed its patterns and traces, many insights suddenly emerged in his mind, and certain essential changes quietly took place in his body.

That was the change that occurred in the Devouring Divine Body as his mastery of the Devouring Dao improved.

[You are trying to comprehend the Great Way of Devouring. You have a burst of inspiration and have gained a lot. Your mastery of the Great Way of Devouring has been improved from 24.66%→24.69%]

【.】

[You are trying to comprehend the Devouring Dao. You have a burst of inspiration and have gained a lot. Your mastery of the Devouring Dao has been improved from 25.83% to 25.86%]
