Chapter 564: Chapter 238: Investiture of the Black Lotus Saint Son! Mission Arrives!

Jiang Shi couldn’t help but speak.

“Get lost!”

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader was angered.

Jiang Shi furrowed his brows, speechless, and had to step aside.

“This is Jiang Shi, who has secretly been my successor, whom I have nurtured for over twenty years, and now at a crucial time, I have officially released him.”

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader said calmly.

The people in the hall began to discuss once more, astonished.

“Sect Leader, now there are already the four great Saint Sons of the east, west, south, and north. This newly appointed Saint Son, what will their title be?”

An Elder couldn’t help but ask.

“Black Lotus Saint Child!”

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader responded coldly.

“Black Lotus Saint Child?”

Once again, expressions of surprise spread across the hall.

“Enough, henceforth, all the privileges and status of the Black Lotus Saint Child are equivalent to the four great Saint Sons, when out on missions, consider it as if I were personally present.”

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader intoned coolly, cutting off the discussions.

The hearts of the people were gripped with fear, and they fell silent once more.

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader then announced some other matters, decisive and swift, and after about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the crowd in the great hall dispersed.

“Jiang Shi, first follow Venerable Bai Mei to rest, in a while I will assign you a task.”

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader rose and said.

“Yes, Sect Leader.”

Jiang Shi nodded directly.

“Black Lotus Saint Child, please come this way.”

Venerable Bai Mei smiled slightly, leading Jiang Shi to the side.

Passing through the cave, there was a wide corridor outside.

Walking along the corridor for about several hundred meters, there was a huge courtyard.

“Black Lotus Saint Child, from now on, this will be your residence, and there is no need to worry about being disturbed during cultivation, as there is a Grand Array surrounding the courtyard that can block any disturbance below the Blood Pill Realm.”

Venerable Bai Mei smiled.

“Not bad.”

Jiang Shi looked around and nodded lightly.

“If there is nothing else, then I will take my leave temporarily.”

Venerable Bai Mei smiled.

“Take care, Venerable!”

Jiang Shi replied politely.

“Hmm.”

Venerable Bai Mei smiled slightly and turned to leave.

In the courtyard.

Jiang Shi exhaled lightly, speaking calmly, “Daoist Master Xuan, you all can rest here too. If you need any resources, request them from the Celestial Demon Holy Sect directly. After all, I have a fixed quota every month, better use it than waste it. Also, make sure the next Blood God Pill is refined soon.”

“Alright.”

Daoist Master Xuan nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Shi ignored them and headed straight to his bedroom, took out the Blood God Pill from before, and swallowed it without hesitation.

Rumble!

A dense Essence Qi burst forth from his body, rushing into Jiang Shi’s limbs and bones in an overwhelming wave, beginning to transform his blood and muscles once again…

…

The days passed one by one.

They were relatively peaceful.

No one came to bother Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi immersed himself entirely in cultivation.

And on Daoist Master Xuan’s side, he finally completed refining the last Blood God Pill.

With the help of this Blood God Pill, Jiang Shi’s cultivation advanced to the Sixth Realm of the Blood Pill stage.

His physical strength broke through fifteen billion jin.

With a single gentle move, it was a force that could sweep everything away.

In terms of physical strength alone, his current power undoubtedly surpassed the Blood Pill level, reaching Nirvana.

His entire body seemed to transform into a Divine Weapon and Treasure, unbreakable, and even Jiang Shi himself felt a tinge of fear at this terrifying strength.

Apart from his own advancement, during this time, Daoist Master Xuan, Chen Long, Pang Ban, Venerable Withered Wood, and others rapidly advanced in cultivation under Jiang Shi’s assistance.

Previously, Jiang Shi had plundered the resources of the Loyalty and Righteousness Tower.

These resources undoubtedly all contributed to Daoist Master Xuan and the others’ achievements.

Daoist Master Xuan’s physical body also finally reached the First Realm of the Holy Spirit stage.

While Chen Long, Pang Ban, Venerable Withered Wood, and others all reached the Seventh and Eighth Heavens of the Holy Spirit stage.

A significant increase from before.

However!

While there was no worry and rapid advancement on Jiang Shi and the others’ side.

The war at the front lines between the Demon Path Alliance and the Thirty-Six Alliance, along with the Seven Heroes of the East Sea, entered into a fervent state once more.

Originally, the Thirty-Six Alliance had already been officially defeated, losing more than half of their territory, but with the aid of the Seven Heroes of the East Sea, they gradually mounted a counterattack.

Adding to the Undersea People’s unpredictable assaults, the Demon Path Alliance suffered significant losses in this period.

This battle news reached the inner sect, causing the Celestial Demon Sect Leader to rage, shattering a table, his aura cold, creating alarm among all the elders within the sect.

Just when the Celestial Demon Sect Leader was at the peak of his wrath.

A war letter was unexpectedly delivered right into the Celestial Demon Headquarters.

It was personally sent by the Patriarch of the Zhuo Family of the Seven Heroes of the East Sea.

Declaring admiration for the Celestial Demon Sect Leader’s divine prowess, the Patriarch specifically challenged the Celestial Demon Sect Leader to a battle set ten days later at the Forgotten Heart Pavilion in Quyang.

When the Celestial Demon Sect Leader saw this challenge letter, he burst into roaring laughter, the sound echoing throughout the entire great hall.

“What a fearless Seven Eastern Sea Races, daring to challenge me, truly good, this time I will personally destroy you all!”

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader’s tone was chilling, as he crushed the letter in his hand.

But among the Guardians and Elders, all furrowed their brows, sensing something amiss.

“Sect Leader, at such a time, be wary of deceit!”

Venerable Bai Mei was the first to advise cautiously.

“I know.”

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader sneered, “I understand the Seven Eastern Sea Races better than anyone, but if they think they can outwit me, they are mistaken. I’ve eaten more salt than they’ve eaten rice!”

“Sect Leader, please reconsider…”

Venerable Bai Mei’s face showed caution, still unable to refrain from saying one more word of warning.

“Go notify Jiang Shi, have him come see me.”

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader ordered.

“Yes.”

Venerable Bai Mei reluctantly nodded.

Soon.

Jiang Shi received the order, sighed lightly, ended his cultivation, and proceeded to the main hall of the headquarters.

“Well done, having a top-tier alchemist by your side is indeed advantageous, you’ve improved your strength again.”

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader showed a smile, unable to help but praise.

He saw at a glance the kind of formidable power lurking in Jiang Shi’s body.

“May I ask what instructions you have, Sect Leader?”

Jiang Shi inquired.

“Nothing much, there’s something happening at the front lines that I want you to handle over there.”

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader’s tone was calm, “Originally, I would go to personally resolve this trouble, but unfortunately, I have just received the Seven Eastern Sea Races’ challenge and need to cultivate and prepare for battle these few days, so I’ll need you to handle this trouble for me.”

“The Seven Eastern Sea Races’ challenge?”

Jiang Shi frowned.

“Yes, the leader of the Seven Eastern Sea Races wants to duel with me on the Forgotten Heart Furnace in ten days!”

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader said flatly, “If you can resolve this mission, you’ll also have time to watch the battle. For you, witnessing a duel between Nirvana Realm experts like us is also beneficial.”

“Alright.”

Jiang Shi thought to himself.

For some reason, he suddenly had a sense of unease.

But seeing the massive stature of the Celestial Demon Sect Leader, surpassing even Xiong Chu, his worries dissipated immediately.

Such a figure, not to mention his cultivation, has reached an astonishing Realm.

Even his personal experience is far beyond comparison.

Since he dares to go, he must have confidence.

“May I ask, Sect Leader, what is the task?”

Jiang Shi asked about his mission.

“On the front lines, there have been a series of murders; a group of Undersea People has appeared, killing silently, causing severe losses for both our Holy Sect and the alliance. Various Venerables and Elders have been unable to trace their whereabouts, even killing a Saint Son, you personally go and try.”

The Celestial Demon Sect Leader narrowed his eyes, his words cold, “Once you find them, execute them with the most brutal punishments for me!!”
