Chapter 1668 Su Mei: Is Jiang Chen a Dou Zong?

Black Corner Region, Rakshasa City.

"Is this the Rakshasa City?"

Jiang Chen looked around at Rakshasa City.

Rakshasa City is a matriarchal city located in the Black Corner Region.

In Rakshasa City, only women are allowed to enter as masters; other men are treated as male slaves or male...possessions. It is one of the three top-tier forces in the Black Corner Region, along with the Heavenly Yin Sect and the Mad Lion Gang. Its leader, Su Mei, is a top ten powerhouse on the Black List.

Although Jiang Chen had read the original novel, he was quite familiar with the Rakshasa Sect and Rakshasa City.

Therefore, Jiang Chen also understood what kind of person Su Mei, the leader of the Rakshasa Sect, was.

but……

Entering Rakshasa City is not easy.

Jiang Chen thought for a moment and then approached Rakshasa City.

"Who?"

Just as Jiang Chen approached Rakshasa City, several figures darted out.

Jiang Chen did not speak, but instead displayed the aura of the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

boom!
The terrifying aura sent the Rakshasa Sect members who were close to Jiang Chen flying.

"I am Jiang Chen from the Jiang family of Haiyang City, and I wish to pay my respects to the leader of the Rakshasa Sect," Jiang Chen introduced himself directly.

The reason they revealed their identity only after demonstrating their power was that if they hadn't shown their strength, the Rakshasa Sect members wouldn't have taken them seriously at all.

"Are you from Haiyang City?"

A moment later, a middle-aged woman flew out.

This middle-aged woman possessed a powerful aura, clearly indicating she was a Dou Wang level expert.

“Yes, Jiang Chen of the Jiang family in Haiyang City.” Jiang Chen looked at the middle-aged woman and said, “I have come to pay my respects to Sect Master Su.”

"Do you think you can just see our sect leader whenever you want?" the middle-aged woman sneered.

"Are you sure you don't want to report this?" Jiang Chen's eyes were cold, and his aura of the Myriad Manifestations Realm enveloped the middle-aged woman.

next moment.

The middle-aged woman let out a muffled groan.

"I'll give you fifteen minutes." Jiang Chen withdrew his imposing aura.

"You..." The middle-aged woman's face turned ugly, but she knew that Jiang Chen was definitely not someone she could handle. She glared fiercely at Jiang Chen, then turned and left.

Jiang Chen looked at Rakshasa City and used his spiritual power to explore it forward.

As the stronghold of the Rakshasa Sect, Rakshasa City is naturally protected by an array. However, the array is not currently activated, and Jiang Chen's spiritual power can completely envelop it.

However, just as Jiang Chen's spiritual power was spreading towards Rakshasa City, she sensed an energy fluctuation.

Is this the power of the soul?

In "Battle Through the Heavens," there is no divine consciousness or spiritual power, but rather a soul. The soul realm is an important component of the cultivation system, complementing the battle qi realm and jointly determining the overall strength of a powerful individual. The division of the divine consciousness realm is mainly based on the strength of the soul power, gradually advancing from the mortal realm to the emperor realm. Each major realm is further subdivided into three stages: early, middle, and great perfection.

Mortal Realm: This is the initial stage of spiritual cultivation, including the early, middle, and great perfection stages. During this stage, the soul's power begins to awaken, laying the foundation for subsequent breakthroughs.

Spiritual Realm: Entering the Spiritual Realm after breaking through the Mortal Realm, it is also divided into early, middle, and perfect stages. The Spiritual Realm signifies a significant improvement in soul power, enabling the use of more complex combat techniques and spatial perception.

Heavenly Realm: Following the Spiritual Realm is the Heavenly Realm, which includes the early, middle, and Great Perfection stages. The soul strength in the Heavenly Realm is already quite considerable, approaching the Dou Zun level, and can begin to influence the surrounding environment.

Emperor Realm: One can enter the Emperor Realm after reaching the Great Perfection of the Heaven Realm, which includes the early, middle, and Great Perfection stages. The Emperor Realm is a realm of soul cultivation.

However, this is a world where film and television merge.

Therefore, consciousness, spiritual power, and soul... are actually the same concept.

"Is this Su Mei's soul?"

Jiang Chen's heart moved.

next moment.

Swish!
A figure appeared in front of Jiang Chen.

She was none other than Su Mei.

In "Battle Through the Heavens," she often appears with a sexy image that is...revealing...and has black, alluring flowers tattooed on her cheeks near her ears, creating a stark contrast between her languid temperament and her ruthless methods. She is quick-witted and resourceful, capable of decisively suppressing conflicts among her subordinates while also actively protecting allies (such as Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yixian) in exchange for their trust.

Jiang Chen looked Su Mei up and down.

"Are you from Haiyang City?" Su Mei asked.

“That’s right, I am Jiang Chen from the Jiang family of Haiyang City. Are you Su Mei, the sect leader of the Rakshasa Sect?” Jiang Chen sensed Su Mei’s powerful aura, but since he was here, he was naturally not afraid.

"What are you doing in Rakshasa City?" Su Mei asked.

"Sect Leader Su, you don't know why I'm in Rakshasa City, do you? It was your Rakshasa Sect that provoked me first." Jiang Chen wasn't actually sure if Su Mei had made the decision regarding Haiyang City, but that didn't matter. As long as it was someone from the Rakshasa Sect, he could only turn to Su Mei.

"So what? You want to attack me? With your abilities?" Su Mei's beautiful eyes turned cold.

"Sect Leader Su..." Jiang Chen transmitted his voice to Su Mei.

Although he had never fought Su Mei, Jiang Chen sensed her power when she appeared and realized that he was no match for her.

However, Jiang Chen did not intend to fight Su Mei when he came to Rakshasa City.

"Are you telling the truth?" Su Mei's expression changed slightly.

“Sect Leader Su, I think we can find a place to talk,” Jiang Chen said.

"follow me."

Su Mei snorted coldly and walked into Rakshasa City.

Jiang Chen chuckled and followed Su Mei.

The Rakshasa City Lord's Mansion is also the headquarters of the Rakshasa Sect.

Upon arriving in the hall, Su Mei waved for the others to leave.

"Are you really an alchemist?" Su Mei asked Jiang Chen.

"nature."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "As long as you can find the ingredients for the Royal Extreme Pill, I can help you refine it."

In the Dou Qi Continent, alchemists can also be called alchemists.

"Why should I believe you?" Su Mei scoffed.

There are many alchemists in the Dou Qi Continent.

However, the Imperial Elixir is not something that any alchemist can refine.

“You may not believe it, but would you offend an alchemist who can refine the Imperial Pill for no reason?” Jiang Chen said.

In "Battle Through the Heavens", cultivators can indeed judge the approximate strength level of their opponents through perception, but this perception ability is related to the difference in their realms, the strength of their souls, and whether they deliberately conceal their abilities.

Low-level realm: Fighters and above can internally observe the qi vortex, and high-level practitioners can discern the strength of low-level practitioners at a glance.

Advanced Realms: Starting from the Dou Wang realm, iconic abilities (such as Dou Qi wings and walking on air) make it easier to judge differences in strength through external manifestations. For example, Dou Wang can fly, while Dou Zong can walk on the void; these characteristics directly indicate the level of their realm.

If the opponent's realm is far superior or they are deliberately concealing their aura, a lower-level individual may not be able to accurately determine their specific level, only sensing the difference in "strength." A powerful individual with a strong soul can more accurately sense whether the opponent is in the early, middle, or late stages of a certain realm. However, when crossing major realms (such as a Battle Spirit versus a Battle King), the strength undergoes a qualitative change, making it easier to distinguish. But pinpointing the exact star level usually requires a high level of soul perception and is affected by the difference in strength between the two individuals.

Jiang Chen cultivates martial arts.

Therefore, Jiang Chen did not believe that Su Mei could see through his cultivation level.

"You think I haven't killed any alchemists?" A murderous glint flashed in Su Mei's eyes, but she was also somewhat wary.

Because she genuinely couldn't sense Jiang Chen's strength.

"Hahaha." Jiang Chen burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" Su Mei's expression grew even colder.

"I'm not just an alchemist..." Jiang Chen looked at Su Mei and asked, "Can you tell my strength?"

“Uh…” Su Mei fell silent.

"Besides, does Sect Leader Su even know what kind of power my Jiang family has?" Jiang Chen said calmly.

Su Mei's expression changed slightly.

Su Mei was not surprised that Haiyang City appeared out of nowhere.

In the Dou Qi Continent, building a palace is not difficult.

But the Jiang family seems to have appeared out of nowhere.

She couldn't find out the origins of the Jiang family.

The people she sent to Haiyang City discovered that there were powerful individuals in Haiyang City who were close to the Dou Wang level, but their attack methods and other aspects were different from those of the cultivators in the Black Corner Region.

It was precisely because she hadn't figured out the Jiang family's situation that she only sent people to probe.

"By the way, Sect Leader Su."

Jiang Chen waved his hand, and a jade box appeared in front of Su Mei. He then said, "This is a gift for you when we first met. I hope you like it."

"A greeting gift?" Su Mei smiled coldly.

She is the leader of the Rakshasa Sect.

What good things haven't I seen?
"Sect Leader Su, why don't you take a look?" Jiang Chen said. Su Mei glanced at Jiang Chen, then opened the jade box.

"This is..." Su Mei was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of shock.

“This is a ginseng that is ten thousand years old,” Jiang Chen said.

In the Dou Qi Continent, thousand-year-old ginseng is a rare commodity, something that can only be encountered by chance.

Even rarer are the ancient ginseng varieties.

This is the difference between the Dou Qi Continent and the Tiannan Continent.

"A ginseng that's been around for ten thousand years?" Su Mei looked at Jiang Chen in shock.

"It's just a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, Sect Leader Su, you don't need to be surprised." Jiang Chen said calmly.

Su Mei suppressed her shock, glancing at Jiang Chen from time to time with her beautiful eyes.

"Sect Leader Su, you should think carefully about whether you want to be an enemy or a friend of Haiyang City," Jiang Chen said.

"Oh? What suggestions do you have?" Su Mei asked.

“I would like to sell some medicinal herbs that are ten thousand years old. If you can do it, Sect Leader Su, I can give you ten percent of the profits,” Jiang Chen said.

"Oh, does your Jiang family have a lot of ancient medicinal herbs?" Su Mei asked.

“As long as we Jiang family members are strong enough, we can eat them,” Jiang Chen said.

"Really?" Su Mei asked, still somewhat skeptical.

"Shh!"

Jiang Chen waved his hand, and ten jade boxes appeared in front of Su Mei: "Here are five ten-thousand-year-old ginseng roots and five ten-thousand-year-old poria cocos roots. If Sect Leader Su is willing to form an alliance with our Jiang family of Haiyang City, then these medicinal herbs will be given to you to sell. According to our agreement, you can receive 10% of the reward. As for the rest, you can exchange them for various magic cores, medicinal herbs, and ores."

Different medicinal materials have different uses.

For the Jiang family, all kinds of medicinal herbs are necessary.

As for the ore...

The art of weapon refiners is highly developed in the Dou Qi Continent.

Jiang Chen collected various ores on the Dou Qi Continent not only for the development of the Jiang family's weapon refiners, but also because ores are a kind of cultivation resource.

As for the magic core...

It is very useful.

"Okay." Su Mang accepted the jade box.

"Sect Leader Su, you won't regret this." Jiang Chen looked at Su Mei and said, word by word, "Within ten years, I am confident that I can help you break through to the Dou Di level."

"Battle Emperor? Within ten years? Are you kidding me?" Su Mei looked at Jiang Chen with eyes as sharp as an eagle's.

“My family has many ancient medicinal herbs, but do you think that’s all there is?” Jiang Chen looked at Su Mei meaningfully. “A Dou Di is the strongest person on the Dou Qi Continent. But this world is not just one Dou Qi Continent.”

"What do you mean?" Su Mei asked.

"Sect Leader Su will know later. It's getting late, I should leave." Jiang Chen stood up and walked outside.

Upon entering the courtyard, Jiang Chen used the Fengxu Riding Wind technique and flew into the sky.

"what?"

Su Mei's expression changed, and she quickly walked out of the room and looked up at the sky.

At this moment, Jiang Chen flew away into the distance in the sky.

"How could this be... Could it be...?"

Su Mei murmured.

In the Dou Qi Continent, the most distinctive characteristic of a Dou Wang (Battle King) powerhouse is their ability to transform Dou Qi into wings. This allows them to draw upon a small amount of external energy to replenish their own Dou Qi, enabling them to fly freely in the sky. The biggest difference is that they transition from ground combat to aerial combat. Of course, there are also rare flying Dou techniques that allow for Dou Qi wing transformation earlier, but their flight speed is far inferior to that of a Dou Wang's Dou Qi wing transformation.

In the Jia Ma Empire, a Battle King is considered a high-end combatant, someone that any faction would want to recruit.

Dou Huang powerhouses also possess Dou Qi wings, their signature ability being the outward projection of their aura, allowing them to control the power of heaven and earth to replenish themselves. In a small place like the Jia Ma Empire, Dou Huang powerhouses are already top-tier combat power, but on the Central Continent, where powerful individuals abound, Dou Huang powerhouses are as numerous as hairs on a cow, and are not considered anything special.

The most distinctive feature of a Dou Zong powerhouse is their ability to walk on air, no longer limited to using Dou Qi to form wings, and to freely manipulate the energy of the outside world. Powerful Dou Zong powerhouses can even use their own Dou Qi to influence the energy of a region.

Reaching the Dou Zun realm makes one a powerful figure even in the Central Continent, a land teeming with strong individuals. In the anime, Dou Zun powerhouses possess a unique aura, known as the Zun Ring, which elevates their prestige. The most distinctive characteristic of Dou Zun powerhouses is their ability to freely tear apart space, create spatial passages, and even use spatial power to kill enemies—truly formidable.

Jiang Chen does not currently possess the ability to transform his battle qi into wings.

No fighting techniques were used.

Could it be a Dou Zong?
At this moment, Su Mei was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

However, considering that Jiang Chen had taken out a ten-thousand-year-old medicinal herb, she felt that her guess might be correct.

Such a person should not be made an enemy.

We must not become enemies until we have a clear understanding of the Jiang family's situation in Haiyang City.

Jiang Chen, on the other side, had no idea what Su Mei was thinking, but he could guess more or less, so he used Feng Xu Yu Feng just to put on an act.

After all, he was very clear about the situation of each realm in the Dou Qi Continent.

The cultivation system of the Jiang family is completely different from the cultivation system of the Dou Qi Continent.

As long as he can keep Su Mei intimidated for a while, once his strength increases, he will naturally no longer need to be afraid.

Moreover, the Rakshasa Sect is not without enemies in the Black Corner Region; if necessary, he can use others to do his dirty work.

After leaving Rakshasa City, Jiang Chen arrived in Canaan City.

In Canaan City, Jiang Chen mainly bought various combat techniques, medicinal herbs, ores, pills, and magic cores.

With the management of Haiyang City and Jiama Holy City, Jiang Chen brought out tens of millions of gold coins this time.

Jiang Chen planned to spend all of these gold coins.

Therefore, after arriving in Canaan, Jiang Chen changed his appearance and frequented various shops.

In the novel *Battle Through the Heavens*, Canaan City, as the alchemy and trading center of the Northwest Continent, boasts a well-developed elixir market where low-grade elixirs (usually referring to those without rank or first-rank elixirs) are quite common. These elixirs are mostly simple healing or auxiliary medicines, with low crafting requirements and affordable prices. Common varieties include Rejuvenating Powder (a pale blue liquid, used externally for healing, with a faint medicinal fragrance), Blood Clotting Powder (a dark red viscous liquid, with better hemostatic effects than Rejuvenating Powder when used externally), and Ice Spirit Throat Protector (a pale blue liquid, taken internally to relieve burning pain and protect the throat). These elixirs are typically crafted by first-rank alchemists and are suitable for basic needs.

First-grade pills: As entry-level pills, they are widely circulated in pill shops and markets in Canaan City. These include Power-Building Pills (for temporary strength enhancement), Injury-Recovery Pills (to aid in injury recovery), Fire-Condensing Pills (to enhance affinity with fire-attribute battle qi), and Rejuvenation Pills (for basic healing). These pills are refined by first-grade alchemists and are commonly used cultivation aids for the Battle Master class. Pill trading in Canaan City is concentrated around Canaan Academy or in areas like the Black Corner Region. Low-grade pills are in ample supply due to high demand. The formulas for some pills, such as Rejuvenation Powder and Blood-Condensing Powder, were once held by the Medicine Venerable Yao Chen, indirectly reflecting the connection between Canaan City and top-tier alchemists.

Jiang Chen didn't buy the pills for his family to consume; he intended to sell them in the Jia Ma Empire, using the family teleportation talisman to generate unimaginable profits.

Jiang Chen even felt that the Jiang family could use these pills as bait to spread a network of influence in the Jia Ma Empire and its surrounding areas.

As for those fighting techniques...

Jiang Chen plans to use his comprehension to transform it into a technique that the Jiang family can use.

As the name suggests, it is a martial art that uses the power of nature to replace battle qi.

Jiang Chen moved very quickly; he left Canaan City in just one day.

However, as soon as Jiang Chen left Canaan City, he sensed several auras behind him.

"We were definitely being watched."

Jiang Chen gave a cold laugh and slowed his pace.

About five minutes later.

shhhhhh...

Several figures blocked Jiang Chen's path.

"Hand over your storage ring, and I'll leave you with a whole corpse," a burly man in black said coldly to Jiang Chen.

"Enough with the nonsense." Jiang Chen sneered and raised his hand to strike out with a palm.

The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms - The Dragon Regrets.

In an instant, giant dragons, carrying terrifying power, charged towards the men in black.

Although it is still a case of "the dragon soaring too high will regret it".

But this power is ten thousand times greater than what Jiang Chen used in the Third World.

Among these dragons that were unleashed, Jiang Chen also mobilized the metal element of nature in the world.

The power of gold is indestructible.

This added to its imposing presence.

not to mention.

This was Jiang Chen's all-out attack.

Jiang Chen wouldn't be polite to those who wanted to steal his things.

He understood even more clearly the principle that even an eagle will exert all its strength when hunting a rabbit.

Boom!

Amidst the continuous roar, screams of agony rang out.

Those who wanted to rob Jiang Chen were killed instantly without even having a chance to resist.

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Chen collected all the people's storage rings, then his figure flickered, soared into the sky, and disappeared into the horizon.

Not long after Jiang Chen left, several figures arrived at the site of the earlier battle.

Looking at the bloody and mangled battlefield, they exchanged bewildered glances.
