Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 504 White Lotus in Green Robe
“You don’t look like a rice farmer.”

The young man finally spoke, “Your clothes are of excellent quality and have a fine texture.”

"The rice farmers of the floating realm cannot afford such fine clothes."

As he finished speaking, his eyes showed even more doubt and a hint of wariness.

at this time.

Jiang Jian was wearing a dark black robe with gold thread, the royal robe of Yinshan.

Its fabric is soft, its dark color like ink, and woven with shimmering gold threads.

Furthermore, the scenery of Yinshan Mountain is depicted with jet-black patterns, hidden within it.

Although in the senses of youth.

Jiang Jian had no cultivation level whatsoever.

But just look at this outfit.

The young man was able to completely conclude that Jiang Jian was definitely not an ordinary rice farmer!
Rice farmers are the most numerous profession among the ordinary beings in the floating world.

Floating Realm, located in the ring of stars and bordering the coastal sea, has a very harsh climate.

Only one common type of rice can adapt to survive.

therefore.

The people of the Floating Realm mostly make a living by cultivating spirit rice.

While cultivating oneself and becoming self-sufficient,

They can also sell off any surplus of spiritual rice.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"This place is actually a floating realm."

Jiang frowned, gleaning an important piece of information from the young man's words.

The identity credentials you are using at this moment.

His place of origin is none other than the floating realm of Saturn!

According to the information provided by Nie Zheng.

Floating Realm is a small realm.

Most of the creatures among them are human.

at the same time.

Jiang Jian recalled.

On the Saturn star map in the Grand Tutor's Mansion, there is indeed a small map marking the location of the Floating Realm, which faces the Demon Kingdom across the sea!

just.

The ocean of Saturn cannot be traversed directly.

This is a generally accepted fact.

Even the Island of No Form is only built deep in the Boundary Sea. One step further ahead is the tidal zone in the center of the Boundary Sea.

The climate there is terrifying, with constant turbulent tides.

Even beings at the Divine Platform Realm dare not venture there lightly.

A dark, boundless ocean surrounds the entire planet Saturn.

It split the entire surface of the planet in two.

There is only one way to get to the other side of the border sea.

It means circling around Saturn and heading towards the gap in its rings.

The principle behind the formation of the boundary sea is due to the obscuring effect of star rings.

However, there is a gap in Saturn's rings, resulting in a section of the Earth's boundary seas where there is no seawater.

That's also the only way to get to the other half of Saturn.

"I've arrived on the other side of Saturn."

Realizing this, Jiang Jian's heart sank.

Saturn is just too big.

It would be very difficult to return to the Xuan Shou Demon Kingdom across the Boundary Sea in a short period of time.

Returning via the original route is not advisable at this time.

Because of what had just happened, Jiang Jianzhi knew.

Seawater in border seas can disrupt direction.

Although he was protected by the aura of the underworld, he was not afraid of being swallowed up and annihilated by the sea.

It can even safely cross the Star Ring Tidal Zone on the seabed of the Boundary Sea.

However, if you encounter problems judging direction while traveling.

The final place they land on is likely to be completely opposite to their original destination, and they may not be able to return to the demon kingdom at all.

"I need tools to determine direction in the depths of the border sea."

After a brief moment of thought.

Jiang Jian calmed himself down and accurately determined what he lacked most.

Circling Saturn is simply unrealistic.

The best approach is to avoid interference from the direction of the seawater and then cross the boundary sea again.

"Could it be that you are a disciple of the White Lotus Holy Sect!"

Suddenly, the young man seemed to realize something, his expression changed, and his gaze toward Jiang Jian was filled with awe!
The White Lotus Holy Sect is a Star Lord-level sect.

The floating realm was merely an inconspicuous corner beneath its feet.

Although the White Lotus Holy Sect did not include the Floating Realm under its jurisdiction.

However, every now and then...

Disciples of the White Lotus Holy Sect will then enter the Floating Realm together, board specially manufactured giant ships, and set sail to catch marine life from the Boundary Sea.

"White Lotus Holy Sect".

Jiang stopped his thoughts and glanced at the young man.

I didn't waste any words with him.

Instead, it was a light flick of the finger.

Instantly, a transparent crystal spun out and entered the young man's body!

Soul-stealing!

next second.

The young man's expression turned blank. He walked up to Jiang Jian and told him everything he knew.

A few minutes later.

"Where am I?"

The human youth opened his eyes and was suddenly awakened!
He looked around, but there was no one there.

Only on the beach before them lay a divine palace spirit core.

"Divine Palace Spirit Core!"

"Treasures produced from Star Ring waste!"

"How could something like this appear here!"

The young man picked up the spirit core, examined it, and his expression was full of surprise!
"Get rich!"

"I've struck it rich!"

After careful consideration...

He could only vaguely recall talking with Jiang Jian for a short while before losing consciousness.

"It's that black-robed youth from before!"

"He must be a disciple of the White Lotus Holy Sect!"

"It's just a bit strange that he wasn't wearing the White Lotus Holy Sect's sect robes."

He held the spirit core and returned to the water-fetching beast's back, his mind still unsettled.

At this time.

High in the sky, deep in the clouds.

Jiang Jian rode the wind, getting closer and closer to the majestic city ahead.

The human youth just now.

Jiang Jian knew.

This ancient city was established by a human sect in the Floating Realm.

The Lianhai Sect has only a few dozen disciples, making it a truly small sect.

Besides.

There is another important piece of information.

The sect leader of the Refining Sea Sect owns a seagoing warship!
Jiang Jian had traveled on the giant, dark blue warship of the Demon Kingdom.

therefore.

He is very clear.

Ships capable of going to sea all possess the means to determine direction!

Jiang Jian had tried using a star array to solve the problem.

However, in the memory of “Li”, there is no relevant usable star array.

after all.

Li is a native Mercurian and has never been to Saturn.

They knew absolutely nothing about the oceans of Saturn.

Even if there were other guiding star arrays, they would be out of place here and completely useless.

"Chu Tiankuo, Sect Master of the Refining Sea Sect."

"Divine Palace Realm cultivation level."

"This person's residence is located deep within the Refining Sea Giant City, and is a hundred-zhang-tall Dao Tower."

Thoughts are surging.

Jiang Jian transformed himself, using the Thirty-Six Transformations Divine Power, and became a middle-aged man in white robes!

This is the only disciple of the White Lotus Holy Sect that the human youth has ever seen!
The sect's attire is predominantly moon white.

The cuffs are embroidered with lotus flower patterns, emitting a faint white glow.

"The wondrous method of penetrating the mysterious."

As Jiang Jian traversed the clouds and mist, he glanced down and, finding no threat, black light appeared around him. He then used a teleportation technique!

Its form shattered into countless black lights.

next second.

It only took a distance of about ten miles.

It appeared above the Hundred-Zhang Tower.

The dark light spots converged and transformed into the appearance of a middle-aged man in a white robe.

"Junior Brother Chu!"

Jiang Jian landed, flicked his white robe sleeves, and shouted loudly towards the Dao Tower.

Below the tower.

Guards and disciples stepped forward, and upon seeing Jiang Jian's sect attire, their expressions changed, becoming respectful and fearful: "We greet you, sir!"

Jiang Jian looked arrogant and said, "Go and call your Sect Master Chu out!"

The disciple quickly nodded: "Yes!"

soon.

Chu Tiankuo, looking hurried, strode out of the Dao Tower, stopped in front of Jiang Jian, and bowed first, saying, "Greetings, Senior Brother Liu!"

The middle-aged man who appeared to have changed was named Liu Gao, an ordinary disciple of the White Lotus Holy Sect.

Chu Tiankuo was an outer disciple of the White Lotus Holy Sect.

Although he came to the Floating Realm and established the Refining Sea Sect, he still treated the disciples of the Holy Sect with the courtesy due to fellow disciples.

"Junior Brother Chu, there's no need for such formalities."

Seeing that Chu Tiankuo's expression had softened, Jiang stepped forward to help him up. "I forgot to bring the sect's ship when I went out to sea to hunt this time, so I came to borrow your ship."

Hear this.

Chu Tiankuo raised his head, his eyes filled with doubt.

in his memory.

Liu Gao has always had a grand entourage.

Every time they come to Fujing to go out to sea, they are always surrounded by a large entourage.

The ships used were incredibly luxurious.

Compared to his, the ships of his own Refining Sea Sect were practically worthless.

This scene before my eyes.

This caused Chu Tiankuo to feel an extremely strong sense of separation.

"Senior Brother Liu Gao."

Chu Tiankuo spoke slowly, carefully examining Jiang Jian.

this moment.

A terrible thought suddenly arose deep in his mind!
The person in front of me is not Liu Gao at all!
Although this person's aura, bone structure, and cultivation level...

They are exactly the same as Senior Brother Liu Gao, without the slightest difference.

but.

Chu Tiankuo established the Lianhai Sect several decades ago.

As the head of a sect, he controlled the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people in his jurisdiction.

They developed a keen eye for people.

His intuition told him clearly: This person is definitely not Liu Gao!
"It's an evil spirit!"

"A powerful demon capable of changing its physical form!"

Thinking of this, Chu Tiankuo's scalp tingled, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead!

On this side of Saturn.

Evil spirits are the most terrifying things!
The White Lotus Holy Sect, as a Star Lord-level sect, promotes the idea of ​​slaying demons and eliminating evil spirits the most!
Almost in the next second.

Chu Tiankuo's survival instinct led him to make the right move. With trembling body, he shouted, "Senior Brother Liu Gao, if you don't mind that my ship is dilapidated, I'll go get it for you right now!"

After saying that, he forced a smile and dared not look at Jiang Jian again.

Chu Tiankuo knew very well what was going on.

An existence possessing such transformative supernatural powers.

No matter what level of evil spirit it is, I am definitely no match for it!
Slaying demons and monsters? That has absolutely nothing to do with me!

The most important thing now is to get him away as soon as possible!

Thinking about it.

Chu Tiankuo's forehead was covered in even more sweat.

Jiang smiled, seemingly oblivious to Chu Tiankuo's unusual behavior, and replied, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Junior Brother Chu."

"Senior brother, you don't need to be so polite. It's all I should do."

Chu Tiankuo forced a laugh, turned his back to Jiang Jian, and growled at his accompanying disciples, "Are you deaf?! Hurry up and fetch my seagoing ship!"

His eyes were bloodshot and his forehead was covered in sweat.

The accompanying disciples were greatly startled!

For a moment, he was stunned and stood there, not knowing what to do!
"Junior Brother Chu, your words have no effect."

Jiang looked at him with a half-smile and said softly.

Chu Tiankuo trembled, nearly scared out of his wits by the terrifying rumors of demons and monsters: "Senior brother, please wait a moment, I will go and get it myself!"

The accompanying disciple, having regained his senses, seemed to have thought of something, and with a pale face, quickly left the Dao Tower.

soon.

A wooden boat the size of a loft was placed in front of the Taoist tower.

In its cockpit, there is a brown instrument panel with the direction of the border sea clearly marked on it.

This is a dashboard specifically designed for use at sea.

The White Lotus Holy Sect, in order to prevent commoners from building ships privately.

Any instrument panel used for maritime operations is classified as a controlled material.

Only those who have been granted permission by the Holy See are eligible to possess it.

"Junior Brother Chu, thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Jianpao flicked his sleeve and removed the brown dashboard.

Chu Tiankuo wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Senior brother, you flatter me."

next second.

Jiang Jian's figure vanished from the spot!
Only faint black light remained, swirling and dissipating with the wind.

"Sect Master, what's going on?"

"Sect Master, what's wrong?"

Several disciples stepped forward, looking at the empty cockpit with puzzled expressions.

Chu Tiankuo, leaning against the cabin wall, was pale but his voice was filled with relief at surviving a disaster: "It was a demon!"

"Based on my judgment."

"They are at least A-level demons!"

Hear this.

The disciples were stunned at first, then their faces turned pale, and they were speechless for a long time.

After a long time.

Only then did some people come to their senses, their faces filled with lingering fear, exclaiming in surprise, "A-level demon!"

"No wonder it's so strange!"

"too frightening!"

"We actually survived!"

"Incredible!"

While everyone in the Refining Sea Sect was celebrating.

Jiang Jian had already returned to his original form, carrying a brown dashboard, and returned to the edge of the Boundary Sea.

In a few months, the great battle for the position of Saturn's ruler will take place.

Time is tight.

Jiang Jian didn't want to stay here; it was just a waste of time.

"Evil spirits."

"I've never heard of it in the Xuan Shou Demon Kingdom."

Jiang Jian stood in the sky, his brows furrowed.

Just now when I left.

Jiang Jian soared to the clouds and clearly heard Chu Tiankuo's words.

to him.

This is a completely unfamiliar word.

Suddenly.

Jiang Jian lowered his gaze and saw the water-fetching beast on the beach.

On the back of the water-fetching beast, a young human was fast asleep.

He was snoring and smiling at the same time.

It felt like I was having a beautiful dream.

"Soul-stealing and mind-controlling".

Jiang Jian extended his finger and flicked it lightly.

10 minute later.

The human youth drifted back into sleep.

Jiang Jian stood at the edge of the beach, his expression solemn.

The information we received this time was quite unique.

Evil spirits are something that has only appeared on Saturn in recent years.

It is different from monsters and spirits.

exactly.

Demons and evil spirits stand in opposition to all living beings of all races.

Whether human or demon, ghost or monster.

In essence, they are all following the same path.

Initial level of life.

Shenque, Yongquan, Shengong, and Shentai.

Further up.

That is the second level of life, the spiritual platform.

The third level of life: peering into the heavens.

This is a legitimate path to the divine.

but.

The path taken by demons and evil spirits is not like that.

No one knows the details of their cultivation methods.

only know.

Evil spirits clash with the aura of the gods.

Every single demon is extremely terrifying.

They care not for any interests; their sole purpose is to devour and slaughter all living beings that possess divine aura.

If they do not show themselves on their own initiative.

Even a True Monarch at the Spirit Platform Realm cannot detect their presence.

The White Lotus Holy Sect was the first place to discover evil spirits.

Even now, there are only about ten regions where demonic incidents have occurred.

therefore.

Information about demons and evil spirits did not spread widely.

"There might be relevant information on the Saturn Network."

Jiang lowered his gaze and looked at his identification document.

at this time.

The identity bracelet is unusable and cannot be used for verification.

next moment.

Jiang Jian made up his mind, took out the brown dashboard, and began to determine the direction of the Xuan Shou Demon Kingdom based on the star map in his memory.

Cross the Boundary Sea and return to the Demon Kingdom as soon as possible.

That's what I need to do.

The matter of demons and monsters is indeed very strange.

But it has nothing to do with me.

soon.

Having determined the direction, Jiang prepared to enter the Boundary Sea.

"The thing in your hand can only travel in shallow waters and cannot cross the Star Ring Tidal Zone."

Suddenly, a calm voice came from beside me.

Jiang Jian's pupils contracted, and his figure instantly turned into black light and disappeared!

next moment.

Jiang Jian appeared a hundred meters away and looked towards the spot where he had just been standing.

There stood a young man in blue.

"Don't be surprised."

The young man in blue shrugged. "I'm not a bad person."

"I am here on orders from my sect to patrol the Floating Realm. Someone just reported the appearance of demons, so I came to check it out."

“I can tell.”

"You are human, not a demon."

The words fell.

The young man in blue robes raised his sleeve and tossed over a beautifully crafted instrument.

"Give it to you."

A hundred meters away.

Jiang Jian took the instrument and held it in his hand.

This instrument panel feels cool to the touch and has a heavy feel.

The exquisite dial is filled with an antique gold and bronze hue.

"Thank you."

Jiang Jian examined it for a moment, then flipped his palm to put it away, and casually crushed the brown dashboard of the Lianhai Sect. He then gently cupped his hands towards the young man in blue.

The young man in blue smiled and said, "Actually, I'm more curious about whether your method of crossing the Boundary Sea is the same as mine."

Jiang Jian remained silent for a moment, then instead of answering directly, asked, "Are you a disciple of the White Lotus Holy Sect?"

The young man in blue nodded: "True disciple, Xu Shuzhi."

Jiang Jian said softly, "Xuanshou Demon Kingdom, Su."

After a pause, Jiang Jian spoke again, "I'll thank you again another day for the watch as a reminder of our friendship."

The words fell.

Without further hesitation, Jiang Jian plunged into the Boundary Sea, disappearing into the dark waters and never to be seen again.

Xu Shuzhi stood there, looking at the spot where Jiang Jian had disappeared: "He really came from the other side of the Boundary Sea."

He walked to the beach, stretched out his palm, and scooped up the black seawater.

A layer of colorful air film covers the surface of Xu Shuzhi's skin, blocking the erosion of seawater.

“Apart from True Monarchs of the Spirit Platform Realm.”

"On this planet, there are no more than ten beings who can cross the Boundary Sea by their own means."

Xu Shuzhi spread his fingers, and the transparent seawater spilled out, turning back into black.

"The Demon Kingdom of Xuan Shou".

"white."

"The great struggle for the Star Lord's position may allow me to meet you again."

The young man in blue stood up straight and firmly memorized Jiang Jian's name.

He then took a step and disappeared from the spot.
