The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

Spiritual connection, though seemingly a matter of temperament, is in fact quite temperamental.

During his mental battles with these three men, he could even exchange messages across distances with a touch of mystery.

That's not all; through this empathy, Ji Chen could also vaguely sense the emotions of the other three.

It was even more blatant than video calls in later generations.

Of the three, Zhang Jichang, the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, was the most conflicted, because his Taoist temple and stronghold were now under Ji Chen's control.

This attack on Ji Chen is destined to end in a difficult situation.

But he had no choice but to take action. At that time, in the late Chu Dynasty, the Baiyang Sect rebelled. His grandfather, the previous generation Celestial Master, was on the front line of suppressing the Baiyang Sect, and his relationship with the various branches of the Baiyang Sect was very tense.

Then, after the Qing army entered the pass, Longhu Mountain became the first Taoist sect to abandon Southern Chu and join the Qing court, continuing to suppress the Baiyang Sect. They lost both their righteousness and their way out.

The Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain have always passed down their lineage from father to son, strictly adhering to the patriarchal tradition. He must bear the bitter fruit of his grandfather's actions.

"Master Zhang, my disciples have already taken control of Longhu Mountain. Why do you still serve Qingting? Why don't you quickly join the sect of my Eternal Mother?"

A blazing sun, at its most intense and powerful, spoke in the realm of the spirit, mocking Zhang Jichang while also trying to take advantage of Ji Chen.

It should be noted that Lu Xiao's death was inextricably linked to the Liu family.

The roars of dragons and tigers continued, the wind and clouds drifted by, and Zhang Jichang flicked his whisk, remaining silent.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Liu Hongtian turned the conversation to Ji Chen:

"Young Brother Qingyun is quite capable and has deep ties with our sect. Why don't we join forces and share Yangzhou?"

That being said, the mental pressure exerted on Ji Chen by Da Ri did not diminish in the slightest.

In that instant, a burst of light appeared, launching a sneak attack on Ji Chen.

Ji Chen didn't stand on ceremony.

The blazing sun emerged from the ocean of thunder, radiating light and heat, then the thunder ignited, shattering a single spiritual thought of the great sun.

Liu Hongtian groaned, his spirit damaged, and correspondingly, the great sun in his spiritual realm dimmed considerably.

"Good lad, you've achieved such mastery in the field of spiritual martial arts, possessing two spiritual images within you!"

Liu Hongtian's face darkened; he felt the situation was very difficult.

On the other hand, Ji Chen had completed all the true meaning of the White Sun Sect that he had previously obtained from the black-clad protector in this round of fighting.

[Detected Qi and Blood Martial Arts Technique... ....]

[The incomplete version of Baiyang Wuxuan Body has been included...]

Skill Level: lv0 (Beginner)

[Calculating the rarity and difficulty of the Baiyang Five Profound Body (incomplete) based on the human host's aptitude...]

[Calculation complete. Do you wish to consume 5 Dimensional Points to activate the cultivation acceleration function?]

At Ji Chen's level of strength, even martial arts of the Baiyang Sect's ultimate level only require a single-digit cost to accelerate the initial learning process.

Ji Chen's eyes lit up; having tasted the sweetness, he no longer resisted spiritual communication.

He even deliberately suppressed his mental fluctuations, pretending to be weak after a sudden outburst.

After he annihilated 40,000 elite troops of the Qing Dynasty and conquered his current territory, his spiritual attributes began to grow on a large scale once again.

With his current mental attributes, even if these three grandmasters attacked him together, he was confident that he would not be at a disadvantage in the mental realm.

Since there's no danger, why not probe the other two?

Then Ji Chen spoke calmly:

"Old Liu, there's no need for your pretense; it only annoys people. And Zhang Tianshi and Chief Chen, I've never had any enmity with either of you, so why are you two obstructing me?"

Zhang Jichang announced his Taoist name:

"Layman Ji has committed excessive killings along the way. I see that you are burdened with karmic debts, so I have come to perform a ritual to eliminate them for you. I hope you will forgive me."

To be able to make helping Qingting delay the situation sound so grand, I think your ancestral court doesn't want to exist anymore.

Moreover, Qingting committed even greater sins back then, so why don't you go and absolve them of their karma?

Ji Chen sneered.

Chen Jingliang replied:

"Half a month ago, I wrote a letter to Brother Ji, inviting him to join me in supporting the Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately... I couldn't bear to miss out on such a talented person as Brother Ji, so I came here to meet him."

Are you afraid I'll try to take Yingtian Prefecture from you?

Indeed, the ability to "speak eloquently" is something that Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism all possess without a teacher!

Those who appear glamorous on the surface are all black inside.

Ji Chen was happy to stall for time with them. As long as they didn't come to attack him in person, he was ready to mentally retaliate at any time.

"Master Zhang, you've come to absolve me of my karma, haven't you?"

"Of course."

"Then send me a few copies of your Longhu Mountain Taoist scriptures. Didn't you present Qingting with forty Zhengyi Zhenren talismans back then?"

As he spoke, the imagery of the blazing sun and thunderous sea in Ji Chen's mental realm became increasingly compelling.

"I'm not greedy. Just offer me a few sets of Longhu Mountain martial arts techniques. Otherwise, I'll be burdened by karma, and who knows, one day I might lose my mind and point the cannons at some famous mountain temple."

Zhang Jichang: "..."

Silence, and more silence.

In the realm of the spirit, the entangled dragon and tiger froze for a moment.

After a long while, a white figure rapidly approached from the north of Guangling Prefecture. At the same time, the word "goodness" resounded in the spiritual realm.

Ji Chen rose from the main camp and moved with lightning speed, disappearing from the camp in a flash and arriving in front of Zhang Jichang.

With absolute confidence, he exchanged a single blow with the rapidly approaching Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain without spending a penny.

Boom!

With a howling wind, Ji Chen unleashed the ultimate power of the Heaven-Shaking Limitless Palm and the Crimson Sun Overlord Fist in an instant, clashing head-on with the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, fighting from the flat ground to the mountaintop.

Along their journey, rocks turned into fine sand, and trees, no harder than a hair, shattered before their very eyes.

Zhang Jichang was shocked. The young man's strength and speed were terrifying. With each collision, his arm went numb, trembled, and bled profusely. He was at risk of being crippled.

Ji Chen, however, became increasingly relaxed. After cultivating the Vajra Titanium Foundation, his physique had undergone a transformation to an abnormal degree.

The panel only displays the constitution value related to health, but this does not prevent him from having high hidden attributes.

True strength masters cultivate qi and blood into the internal organs, strengthening them while transforming qi and blood into true strength.

True strength can be condensed into a protective aura that covers the body's surface, greatly enhancing defensive capabilities.

At the same time, true strength can truly penetrate the body, and its power remains undiminished even when separated by several feet.

Even a master of true strength like him could only be at a disadvantage in front of Ji Chen.

His physical defense was passive, while Zhang Jichang's defense was active.

One has no consumption, while the other has consumption; with this ebb and flow, his advantage will only grow.

Zhang Jichang also noticed this. His expression turned serious, then he smiled nonchalantly.

"Master Ji's skill is truly remarkable, far surpassing my own. However, I have one last move. If you can break it, I am willing to offer up my sect's ultimate technique and personally preach to you!"

Ji Chen's expression became more serious, but this battle was destined to have only one outcome.

Victory belongs to me!

"wind!"

Zhang Jichang roared, his left hand wielding qi, which manifested as a wind tiger, exuding a fierce and murderous aura.

"cloud!"

The clouds condensed into dragon scales as armor, and true energy surged as the cloud dragon reached out its claws!

The rivalry between the dragon and the tiger, yet their mutual support and complementarity, has propelled Zhang Jichang's momentum to new heights.
