With just twelve words, Jiang Yuan chose to let Liu Zhaodi stay without any hesitation, because it coincided with his own thoughts.
He had previously planned to give Liu Zhaodi a unique gift, but he was only 30% sure of success. Now that the Jiang family had offered a more efficient solution, it would be unreasonable for him not to take advantage of the situation.
"The Jiang family!"
As Jiang Yuan stepped out of the Jiang family's gate, he looked back at this place that filled him with memories. This was where his life began and where he started his journey toward independence.
"How exactly do you exist on the battlefield?!"
The reason he refuses to acknowledge his ancestry is because of the Jiang family's unique status. Who is Jiang Tiandi? What are his parents' identities? What exactly is the Jiang family's legacy? These questions remain unknown, and he needs more time to sort out the matters concerning the Jiang family.
As for Liu Zhaodi staying, he had no objection to that, because he had experienced the wonders of the Soul River and believed that it possessed unfathomable abilities.
"Secret of the Soul!"
Jiang Yuan stared at the gold paper in his hand, lost in thought. He was quite surprised that the Jiang family had handed over the Soul Secret so easily. He had originally thought that he would need to use some methods, but now not only had he obtained the Soul Secret, the Jiang family had also provided a solution to his problem.
"Sister Suxin, please tell me my fortune for the future." Jiang Yuan chatted with Gong Suxin with a hint of joking.
But to everyone's surprise, Gong Suxin said with a solemn expression, "I've already calculated it; what follows is an ominous sign."
"An ominous sign?" Jiang Yuan smiled faintly upon hearing this, saying nonchalantly, "Indeed, I wouldn't be used to it if it wasn't ominous!"
He has never had a smooth journey.
"You brat, come to the Astrology Palace after you finish this mission, and I'll think of a way to give you the secrets of fate," Gong Suxin said.
"I really need to come see you; I have something to give you!"
Jiang Yuan agreed. He still possessed the Celestial Body Inheritance, and the Heavenly Knowledge Body also suited Gong Suxin.
Having severed ties with Gong Suxin, Jiang Yuan traveled alone to the Himalayas. He left the two mythical beasts with Liu Zhaodi to keep them company, in case anything unexpected happened within the Jiang family.
During the teleportation, Jiang Yuan appraised all the spiritual and soul secrets he had acquired.
The Nine Arts of Humanity – Mystic Arts.
Quality: Myth.
Effect: The mystical will provide powerful inspiration for Taoist practices.
Unique effect: The Refining Spirit Secret will accelerate the flow of ancient martial arts power when it enters the body. When strengthened to the extreme, it will activate the 'Immune to All Laws' effect.
The Nine Arts of the Human Race - Soul Secrets.
Quality: Myth.
Effect: Soul Secret can guarantee the immortality of the soul.
Unique effect: The Soul Refining Secret is applied to the soul, greatly strengthening it. When strengthened to the extreme, it will activate the 'Three Souls and Seven Spirits' effect.
The name "Invulnerable to All Laws" means that the user is immune to most energy attacks. This is a great skill for ancient martial artists because their melee combat style inevitably requires them to withstand the first wave of ranged attacks from psionic or soul-based systems. Invulnerable to All Laws can provide maximum immunity to these attacks.
Based on preliminary assessments, the "Invulnerability to All Laws" ability provides 100% immunity within the same cultivation level, and even at a higher cultivation level, it can still provide over 90% immunity. Moreover, the "Invulnerability to All Laws" ability has a lower limit to immunity; regardless of the difference in cultivation level, it still provides the unique effect of immunizing half of the damage.
There is also the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, which is the only one of the nine arts of the human race in ancient martial arts that targets the soul. It can protect the Three Souls and Seven Spirits of an ancient martial artist, and as long as the Three Souls and Seven Spirits have not completely dissipated, the soul can be repaired through the Soul Secret.
Furthermore, after activating the three souls and seven spirits, the Soul Secret can split into three souls, achieving the same operation as the companion god of yesteryear.
"And a secret!"
Jiang Yuan unleashed the Heart Secret that he had long since refined into his body, and its special effects began to emerge.
The Nine Arts of the Human Race - Mind Secrets.
Quality: Myth.
Effect: Heart Secret can enhance any ability, and the degree of enhancement varies depending on the strength of the heart.
Unique effect: When the secret of the heart is integrated into the heart, reaching the ultimate level will grant the 'Heart of Immortality' effect.
The Heart Secret's immortal heart will beat forever. Regardless of whether the physical body is annihilated, the heart will continue to beat and provide the ancient martial artist with ever-growing power.
"Flesh and blood, bones and bones, essence and spirit!"
Jiang Yuan already had a thorough understanding of the first six levels: the Blood Shackles corresponded to the Blood Secret, unlocking rebirth from a drop of blood; the Flesh Shackles corresponded to the Flesh Secret, unlocking indestructible strength; the Bone Shackles corresponded to the Bone Secret, unlocking immortal bones; the Essence Shackles corresponded to the Heart Secret, unlocking an immortal heart; the Qi Shackles corresponded to the Spirit Secret, unlocking invulnerability to all laws; and the God Shackles corresponded to the Soul Secret, unlocking the three souls and seven spirits.
This is the complete lower and middle three levels. Activating all of these simultaneously requires ultimate shackles, but Jiang Yuan has already prepared them. The Chaoyuan Chamber of Commerce spent nearly ten million low-grade Holy Spirit Essence to buy back the last two ultimate shackles. With the money in place, the goods will naturally follow.
"Now all that's missing is a place to break through!"
Jiang Yuan sat in the teleportation array, closing his eyes to rest. He was about to face an epic battle. If he chose to break through in the Himalayas, those powerful figures who coveted the divine position would surely come running. At that time, the Himalayas would become the most brutal battlefield.
Wanshan City
"Reporting to the commander, all ordinary people have been evacuated from Wanshan City."
"Let the soldiers with wives, children, or only sons evacuate Wanshan City first."
"Reporting to the commander, China is our home, and our comrades are like brothers. Even if we die gloriously in battle, we will not let down our parents, wives and children. There is no such thing as an only child."
"That's an order!"
A middle-aged man who looked a few years older sighed.
"He will come back!" A person walked into the military camp. It was An Xiaoyu, whom we hadn't seen for many days. At this moment, she looked dazed and exhausted.
