Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

Shen Zhiyi made her move.

There were no unnecessary frills; she simply raised her pale, white hand gently.

"Don't be afraid! No matter how strong she is, she's just one person!" a cultivator shouted, his voice trembling with fear. "We are all cultivators from the upper realm; are we really no match for a mere native from the lower realm?!"

"Yes! Let's all go together!"

The group of cultivators were unwilling to give up, and they gritted their teeth and charged towards Shen Zhiyi.

But they will soon understand.

Some gaps can never be bridged by quantity alone.

In Shen Zhiyi's palm, a ball of blazing white spiritual light exploded, and invisible flames swept out like a tide, instantly covering every corner of the space!

hum! ! !

Those cultivators didn't even have time to react!

The closest cultivators didn't even have time to scream before they were engulfed by the spiritual fire and turned to ashes!

In a single encounter, the monks' group was wiped out, losing more than half of their number.

"No, no! Run!"

"This is a second-grade divine ability!!"

The remaining cultivators were terrified and scattered like birds and beasts, summoning their magical artifacts and treasures.

However, their resistance against someone at the peak of Qi Refining was like an ant trying to shake a tree!

Streaks of light exploded into clouds of blood mist in mid-air!

"Stop! We are disciples of the Immortal Alliance... Ah!!"

"Spare me! Fairy, spare me...!"

Cries for mercy and screams of agony rose and fell.

Some cultivators even abandoned their fellow disciples and desperately used their escape techniques to flee.

But that invisible spiritual fire followed me like a shadow!

Shen Zhiyi ignored her.

She simply stood there quietly, her fingertips lightly tapping, reaping one life after another.

Her expression was eerily calm.

"You bitch!"

The middle-aged cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, his eyes bloodshot, roared as he unleashed his final trump card!

A beam of blood-red divine light shot into the sky from the top of his head!

But the next moment.

boom!

Shen Zhiyi pressed down with her palm.

That divine light, along with the cultivator's body, exploded simultaneously!

Blood rained down, staining the land outside the South Gate red.

The middle-aged cultivator never understood why this small Origin Realm would harbor a monster at the peak of Qi Refining.

Thus, this one-sided battle came to an end.

It took no more than ten breaths in total.

It was so fast that it almost seemed like an illusion.

More than thirty cultivators from the Heavenly Chapter Realm were completely wiped out!

……

Dead silence.

The entire city of Tianque fell into a deathly silence.

After a long silence, someone finally broke it with a trembling voice:

"This...this is Miss Shen's strength..."

Zhou Tianyan stood there, stunned, for a long time without moving.

The celestial beings who descended upon them, suffocating them.

That's it...gone?

He gazed at the girl standing silently in the wind, and a storm raged in his heart.

In all his years of life, this was the first time he had felt a sense of confidence about the future of humanity.

He knew Miss Shen was very strong.

But he never expected that Miss Shen would be this strong!

Qi Refining Completed...

So this is her true strength!

Such divine power is probably no less than that of General Jiang Tian back then!

The soldiers and civilians on and below the city walls finally came to their senses.

"We won...we won! We won!"

"Long live Miss Shen! Long live humanity!"

The cheers exploded like thunder.

An elderly person knelt on the ground, tears streaming down their face; a child rode on their father's shoulders, waving their little hand desperately.

After half a day of suppression, Tianque City finally came back to life.

They had never seen such power before.

I never even imagined it.

This power is on the side of humanity!

"General Shen Tian!"

Zhou Tianyan suppressed his turbulent emotions, strode forward, and was about to ask a question.

He had so many questions to ask.

But just then...

Shen Zhiyi suddenly looked up and gazed at the northern horizon.

Her clear, cool eyes widened in surprise for a moment, then blossomed into a bright smile.

Just now, she clearly felt that the mark in her sea of ​​consciousness, which had been dormant for three years, trembled violently!

That is a mark that only one person can trigger.

Jiang Chuan!

He is back!

She wished she could fly to his side immediately.

next moment.

Shen Zhiyi's figure had vanished from the spot, leaving only a lingering ray of light.

No one could even see how she left.

Zhou Tianyan stood there, stunned. Where did she go?

"Could it be...?"

Zhou Tianyan's heart suddenly began to pound wildly.

There is probably only one person in the world who could make Shen Zhiyi show such an expression!

The crowd looked at each other, completely bewildered.

at the same time.

The North, deep in the snowy plains.

A silver hull, buried under ice and snow for three years, suddenly lit up.

The hatch slid open silently.

Xu Yinyin slowly opened her eyes.

Those long-dormant eyes first showed a hint of confusion, and then two streams of clear tears welled up.

"Owner……"

She murmured softly, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

Three years.

She waited for three whole years beneath this snowy plain.

The person we were waiting for has finally returned.

next moment.

She burst out of the cabin, transforming into a streak of light and soaring straight into the heavens!

The swirling snow made way for her.

……

The East China Sea, ten thousand meters below the ocean depths.

Another silver-white hull opened with a roar!

Ling Aoshuang suddenly opened her eyes, her icy blue pupils shining like stars in the dark sea!

"Jiang Chuan!"

She whispered that name, and the frost around her exploded!

The seawater froze solid before her!

She, on the other hand, soared into the sky, stepping onto a path of ice crystals!

On the sea surface, a huge sea monster had just poked its head out when it hurriedly retreated back inside.

Her long, icy blue hair fluttered wildly in the wind.

A slight smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

……

The three women woke up at the same time.

For three years, they have huddled in their respective isolation zones, like three silent, isolated islands.

But at this moment.

They shot off in the same direction like three arrows released from a bow!

There was no discussion, no hesitation.

The reason is very simple.

The man who made them willingly isolate for three years.

came back.

Jiang Chuan is back!

Three streaks of light pierced the sky, flying off in the same direction.

Along the way, countless people looked up at the sky, filled with astonishment and uncertainty.

Only a few people at the highest levels of the federal government had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

The three streaks of light headed straight for the Federation border!

At this moment, within the Corpse Dog Clan's inter-domain teleportation array, a pillar of light illuminated, and a figure slowly emerged.

He looked up at the familiar sky and took a deep breath.

It feels so good to be home.

When he left here three years ago, he vowed that he would definitely come back.

"Federation, I'm back."

……

Jiang Tianjiang is back.

This message was more effective than any words of reassurance.

Almost the instant he stepped out of the teleportation array, the entire Federation erupted in cheers.

"General Jiang! General Jiang is back!"

"Our human race's heaven has returned!"

Cheers erupted like thunder throughout the city.

Countless people flooded the streets, some so moved they were in tears.

They had been waiting for this day for far too long.

Looking at these familiar faces, Jiang Chuan felt a warmth in his heart and clasped his hands in a fist salute to the four directions.

"Gentlemen, I, Jiang, have returned."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly throughout the entire city.

"From this day forward, no one will be allowed to bully us humans!"

The words fell.

The cheers were so loud they nearly lifted the sky off Tianque City!

Jiang Chuan didn't stay long; he had more important things to do.

……

Tianque City, Federal Family Compound.

Jiang Mingyuan and Wang Xiulan were standing at the door, gazing longingly at the alley entrance.

When that familiar figure appeared, Wang Xiulan's tears immediately fell.

"Ogawa..."

Jiang Chuan quickly stepped forward and helped his mother up.

"Dad, Mom, I'm home."

Jiang Mingyuan opened his mouth, but in the end he only patted his shoulder twice, leaving a thousand words unsaid.

"It's good that you're back...it's good that you're back..."

That night, Wang Xiulan cooked a whole table of dishes.

Cabbage stew with glass noodles is Jiang Chuan's favorite dish.

With red eyes, Wang Xiulan kept piling food into his bowl, but she didn't touch a single bite herself.

For the first time ever, Jiang Mingyuan opened a bottle of old wine that he had kept for many years and drank it with his son.

During the meal, Jiang Mingyuan hesitated several times before finally finishing his drink with red eyes.

The process of catching up with old friends couldn't be simpler.

A meal, a few cups of hot tea, and a few casual words.

Wang Xiulan kept telling him to wear more clothes, and Jiang Mingyuan urged him to be careful in everything he did.

Jiang Chuan didn't mention the thrilling events of the past three years in the Heavenly Chapter Realm, and his parents didn't ask any further questions.

For this family, the fact that their loved one returned safely is the greatest joy of all.

just.

Such peaceful days are not something we can live in for the time being.

After the meal, Jiang Chuan set off again amidst his parents' reluctant gazes.

Before leaving, he left behind a group of servants to secretly protect his parents.

Then they set off for the Heavenly Pavilion.

Zhou Tianyan, Qin Tianheng, and a group of generals from the Federation had been waiting for a long time.

Jiang Chuan strode in.

Everyone spontaneously made way for them.

There were no small talk, no formalities.

He walked straight to the huge source world sand table and stood there.

All eyes of the assembled executives fell upon him.

That should have been Zhou Tianyan's spot.

At this moment, no one felt anything was wrong.

Although Jiang Chuan was only the thirteenth Heavenly General of the Heavenly Pavilion, his status was far inferior to that of Zhou Tianyan, the Heavenly Pavilion Marshal.

But no one present, including Zhou Tianyan himself, questioned his actions, which were almost "overstepping his authority".

It seems that this is how it should be.

Because he is Jiang Chuan.

Because, three years ago, he single-handedly conquered four regions and saved the entire human race!

"Marshal Zhou."

Jiang Chuan spoke up, "I need to know how many extraterrestrial cultivators are still within the Federation's borders at this moment."

"They're all here." Zhou Tianyan handed over a battle report: "In the Northern Border, Southern Frontier, and the Lingnan Coast, there are accurate reports of over a hundred Celestials who have descended to Earth."

Jiang Chuan took it, glanced at it, and nodded.

"I'll take over here from now on."

"Marshal Zhou has no objections, right?"

Zhou Tianyan was taken aback, but then seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"I couldn't have gotten it."

He stepped back, completely clearing the space in front of the sand table.

Qin Tianheng stood to the side, stroking his beard, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

Finally, someone is willing to take on this mess.

The other senior executives nodded in agreement, some even letting out a long sigh of relief.

In the following days, an unprecedented crackdown swept across the federal territory.

Jiang Chuan personally led his team, and together with Shen Zhiyi, Xu Yinyin, and Ling Aoshuang, they swept across the land.

Wherever it passed, it swept away fallen leaves like autumn wind.

Not only that.

Shen Henian, Hua She, Yun Danzi and other servants of the Heavenly Chapter Realm, the divine sons of the Eternal Spirit Clan and the divine sons of the Primordial Demon Clan and other former members of the Origin Realm also obeyed the order and assembled.

Those cultivators who slaughtered cities and wiped out entire populations in the Origin Realm were like clay chickens and earthen dogs in front of everyone.

The cultivators he killed would rise again under the starlight of the Star Mirror and become his most loyal servants!

His fighting strength increases with each battle!

From the initial dozens of servants, the number snowballed to hundreds!

In just a few days.

All the practitioners active within the Federation were wiped out.

One by one, the fallen cities were recaptured.

The anxious hearts of people gradually calmed down.

The situation across the Federation stabilized at a visible speed!

On this day, Jiang Chuan stood atop the city wall of Tianque City, gazing at this land that had returned to peace.

Behind him stood three women, side by side.

But Jiang Chuan's gaze was fixed on something much farther away.

That's where the real eye of the storm is.

The four central regions.

There, a group of Heavenly Chapter Realm cultivators were digging deep, searching for him.

The federal crisis has been resolved.

But he knew in his heart that this was just a brief calm before the storm.

But this great storm sweeping across both worlds has only just begun!

This time, he will be the one to wield the pieces.

"Have you rested enough?"

Jiang Chuan suddenly spoke.

The three women exchanged a smile and said in unison:

"Anytime is fine."

"Alright then."

Jiang Chuan slowly turned around, his eyes flashing with a chilling light: "Next, it's our turn to go to the Four Regions and settle accounts with them!"

……

Heavenly Chapter Realm.

High above the nine heavens, there lies a blessed land of immortals.

This place is shrouded in mist all year round, where cranes cry, waterfalls cascade down, and exotic flowers bloom in profusion.

Several real people, some sitting and some standing, were surrounding a huge precious mirror.

The precious mirror hangs in the void, its surface like water, with shimmering light flowing across it.

The reflection in the mirror was none other than the mountains and rivers of the Origin Realm.

Burning cities, fleeing mortals, and streaks of light descending from the sky.

The interdimensional passage had only been open for a few days, and this precious mirror had already become the most bustling place in the area.

"These youngsters are far too reckless. If they're going to hunt for treasure, fine, but what's the point of slaughtering so many ordinary beings?"

"It's one thing to increase bloodshed... but how can someone be killed by beings from the lower realms?"

"A bunch of worthless bastards!"

Several people were chatting casually.

Between words.

Thousands of lives were swept away so easily.

To a true cultivator, Qi Refining cultivators are pawns, while mortals from the Origin Realm are not even considered pawns.

but.

Even in the most insignificant chess games, there will always be one or two exceptions that catch the eye.

Jiang Chuan is one of them.

It's unclear when exactly, but the number of real people gathering before the precious mirror has increased.

Their gazes, without prior agreement, fell upon the young figure reflected in the mirror.

He is the person who has killed the most cultivators.

He was the one who recaptured the city and protected ordinary people.

What's even more surprising is that this person stood firmly with the natives of the Origin Realm!

People from the Origin Realm viewed the Heavenly Chapter cultivators as a raging flood or a ferocious beast.

The Heavenly Chapter cultivators regard the beings of the Origin Realm as ants.

This Jiang Chuan is something else; he's actually made himself the sovereign of the Origin Realm!

"interesting."

A sage stroked his beard and laughed, "This young man is quite remarkable."

"A remarkable person?" another cultivator scoffed. "I think he's just asking for trouble!"

As an anomaly, it was natural that some people harbored thoughts of spying on it.

Immediately, a real person performed divination to try and find out his background.

however.

This calculation, however, came to nothing!

"Um?"

The master's expression changed slightly. After trying it a few more times, he became playful. "This boy actually possesses a treasure of cause and effect that conceals the secrets of heaven."

Upon hearing this, all the masters' expressions subtly changed.

The treasure of cause and effect.

That's a rare object that can disrupt the workings of the universe.

How could a mere Qi Refining cultivator possess such a precious treasure?

"Hmph, just a mere smokescreen."

A real person sneered and took out an ancient bronze mirror.

As soon as the bronze mirror appeared, the surrounding void distorted slightly.

"Let this old man examine this boy's background!"

hum! ! !

The bronze mirror hangs in mid-air, its light shining brightly!

This time, the hidden secrets of heaven have finally been torn open!

Jiang Chuan's background was gradually revealed, like peeling back layers of an onion!

"Beings of the Origin Realm!"

"This child... is actually a native from the Origin Realm!"

The assembled immortals looked at each other in bewilderment.

Upon closer inspection, some people exclaimed in surprise, "He actually cultivated at Yuanling Mountain!"

This immediately made the scene lively.

Immediately, a real person smiled and looked at an old man with long eyebrows in the corner:

"Haha, Lord Zhu, your Yuanling Mountain has truly amassed a great fortune, actually producing a ruler of the Origin Realm!"

"I am ashamed, I am ashamed."

Lord Zhu of Yuanling Mountain was also completely bewildered. When did such a freak appear on his mountain?

Some people had ashen faces.

An old, white-haired, and white-bearded master stared intently at Jiang Chuan in the mirror, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

His personal disciple died at this boy's hands the day before yesterday!

"You natives of the Origin Realm, how dare you kill my disciples!"

The old master gritted his teeth, "When this brat returns, I will tear him to pieces!"

"Fellow Daoist, please wait."

Someone nearby advised, "This child possesses the treasure of cause and effect and has the advantage of the Origin Realm. It would be a loss to harm him now."

The old master snorted coldly and ultimately said nothing more.

Among the crowd was also True Man Crimson Moon.

She gazed at her reflection in the mirror, a glint of something unfathomable flashing in her eyes, but she remained silent.

……

in fact.

All the immortals knew this very well.

Their true target was never Jiang Chuan.

Rather, they are relics of an ancient civilization remaining in the Origin Realm! Those are the things that would truly move a real person!

As long as Jiang Chuan can bring back something valuable from the Origin Realm.

Let alone the natives of the Origin Realm, even if they are more unconventional, they will still accept them!

All because of this.

The vision of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is far beyond that of an ordinary cultivator.

They had visited at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, small worlds. In their eyes, what difference did it make whether it was the Origin Realm or the Heavenly Chapter Realm?

Jiang Chuan believed that his background was the biggest secret that could not be revealed.

I don't know.

It doesn't matter at all to these real people...

All of this was completely unknown to Jiang Chuan, who was far away in the Origin Realm.
