Cultivation! My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration

Chapter 279: Blood Fiend Divine Art

The new warship of the Great Mountain Alliance had gathered the efforts of the various sects’ refinement masters. It had even borrowed the Peach Tree flying ship of the Mu family of the Peach Forest and combined the merits of many aspects.

In terms of speed, defense, stability, and attack, all these aspects had a considerable increase compared to the warships of the Scripture Storage Valley.

Currently, it was no longer inferior to the flying ships of most sects in the Eastern Region.

Otherwise, if even a basic configuration like the flying ship looked pathetic, they would be too embarrassed.

After carrying everyone, the Great Mountain Alliance’s flying ship headed out of the mountain range. On the way, they met some Iron Wolf Sect cultivators.

However, they, who had been rather domineering previously, no longer cared about whether there were suspicious people coming and going.

When they saw some powerful groups passing by, they would specially take a detour.

The flying ship steadily drove out of the chaotic Endless Mountain Range.

Jiang Li sat in his cabin while holding a booklet in his hand and reading.

It was what his master, Elder He, had handed him earlier.

[Blood Fiend Divine Art]

This was a top-notch ancient body cultivation method that used blood qi to refine the body to resist enemies.

Ignoring everything else, he took a few glances and discovered that this cultivation method was simply a perfect match with the Beast Blood Diagram.

The Beast Blood Diagram was an auxiliary body cultivation secret technique and not an orthodox cultivation method.

It was powerful and could assist in cultivation, and it was even one of the four ultimate techniques of the Scripture Storage Valley.

However, the conditions and danger level of this cultivation were the highest among the four ultimate techniques.

Therefore, there were few disciples cultivating this.

The root reason was that the fiendish energy in the beast blood was too dangerous, and it was very easy to cause one’s mind to go berserk.

It required cultivators to use their extraordinary courage and will to forcefully suppress the fiendish blood.

Elder He had even developed an extremely harsh first lesson for this. That was to wear the Dragon Imprisoning Lock and fight head-on with demon beasts of the same level without any way out.

Even Jiang Li had suffered quite a bit from that ape demon when he entered the sect back then.

However, it was only now that they realized that it was because they had always lacked the body cultivation method that matched the Beast Blood Diagram.

It was this Blood Fiend Divine Art!

This was really fate.

After more than 200 years, the stone monument fragment that recorded the Blood Fiend Divine Art was bought by Jiang Li in the auction.

This luck was a little unusual.

Jiang Li did not believe that the Merit Blessing was not involved in it.

Luck was something that one could not sense usually, but it could affect all aspects of oneself.

The “good luck” that could only last for seven days had been maintained until now, and the benefits it brought him were not small.

After he reached the Foundation Establishment realm, he did not lack Qi Refinement and Spirit Refinement cultivation methods. However, the Mountain Crushing Scripture that was used for body refinement was only at the incomplete first chapter.

Therefore, with his current body cultivation speed, he was gradually falling behind.

Now that he had the Blood Fiend Divine Art, he did not have to look for body cultivation methods anymore.

Jiang Li quickly finished reading this cultivation method. With his current mental strength and comprehension, he easily memorized the entire text of the cultivation method and gained quite a bit of comprehension.

This was the benefit of cultivating a spirit refinement cultivation method. After one’s Mind and Enlightenment increased, the benefits to cultivation were not small.

Just as Jiang Li flipped to the last page, a folded piece of paper floated down.

He stretched out his hand and caught it in midair.

With a touch, he knew that this piece of paper was not ordinary.

This was because it was made of the skin of a Giant Rock Fire Bull. This thin layer looked fragile, but it was actually invulnerable to swords and spears, water and fire. Moreover, it could withstand quite a few high-level runes.

“This is the seal of the Valley Master.”

On the folded cowhide paper, Jiang Li saw a familiar mark. It was a seal that only the Valley Master of the Scripture Storage Valley, Daoist Wushe, could use. It had quite a high defense.

It seemed that this was the reward for finding the stone monument fragment.

The Scripture Storage Valley’s Scripture Imparting Hall was a treasure land that produced ancient inheritances. Any spell technique inside was above the standard.

The Valley Master, Daoist Wushe, personally signed it. It should not be simple.

Jiang Li injected spiritual qi and opened the leather paper. What appeared inside was an extremely complicated and exquisite array pattern blueprint.

Even with Jiang Li’s current Mind attribute and spirit cultivation, he felt dizzy for a few breaths when he saw this array pattern.

It could be seen how profound this formation pattern was.

After calming down, he focused his mind and looked again.

Hmm? The patterns seemed familiar.

Wait, this array pattern seemed to be…

In this Blood Fiend Divine Art, on the last page of the cultivation method, there was also a gift from the Valley Master, Daoist Wushe.

After Jiang Li took a closer look, he suddenly realized that what was drawn on this map was actually the main seal rune of the sect’s ultimate technique, the Square Heaven Seal!

Jiang Li’s eyes were about to light up.

He had coveted this thing for a long time. He did not expect that the Valley Master would really impart it to him.

Wasn’t this a secret technique that only the next Valley Master could learn? Could it be that something had happened to Chu Yunxuan? Did he have to replace the Scripture Storage Valley’s “Crown Prince”?

After carefully reading the notes beside him, he realized that he had been thinking too much.

Eldest Senior Brother Chu Yunxuan was living well and had even broken through the Golden Core realm not long ago.

What the Valley Master had given him was not the complete Square Heaven Seal, but the main design of the rune.

Other key methods such as Qi Circulation, refinement methods, seals, and so on were not included.

However, to Jiang Li, having the blueprint was enough.

The Square Heaven Seal was a metal attribute technique. Even if he barely learned it, he could not unleash its full power.

However, this main rune map was very promising in his hands.

For example, if he engraved this formation pattern on the coffin and used it to smash people in the future, what would happen?

Just thinking about it made him look forward to it.

The Valley Master’s gift was not small.

Apart from finding the stone monument fragment and some of the merits in the past, this should have some other meaning.

Was he afraid that after Jiang Li became the Alliance Leader of the Great Mountain Alliance, he would dissociate from the sect?

Ever since he entered the sect and grew up, the Scripture Storage Valley had given him too many things. Up until now, the Scripture Storage Valley was still his greatest support.

His friends and teachers were all there. He was not an ungrateful person.

However, this rune and cultivation method were really awesome. He did not know when he would be so lucky next time.

He was thinking about how to accumulate more merit. If he could raise the status of this Merit Blessing to a higher level, he did not know if he could reach the level where treasures came from the sky.

At this moment, the flying ship in the sky crashed into a cloud in the sky. The porthole was covered in white clouds.

Jiang Li looked out. Under the cover of the fog, a few fish living in the clouds flew past the porthole.

This fish had a slender fish body and a long rainbow-colored tail behind it. It was beautiful under the refraction of the light. He was quite lucky to be able to see this scene.

However, it was said that this kind of fish with more bones and less meat was not very delicious.

He turned around and continued to read the book in his hand.

One breath, two breaths…

He felt that something was amiss and looked up in confusion. At some point, a white figure had appeared in his room.

Jiang Li was surprised. One had to know that his cabin was in the safest place on the flying ship.

Beside him were several Soul Formation cultivators.

However, at this moment, someone passed through them and silently entered Jiang Li’s room.

If the other party had ill intentions, then Alliance Leader Jiang of the Great Mountain Alliance would probably be in trouble.

“Sir, is there anything the Great Mountain Alliance can help you with?”

“Those who come are guests. The Great Mountain Alliance will not ignore you.”

Jiang Li’s mind was tense, but he smiled and silently touched the Alliance Leader Token on his waist.

For the other party to be able to do this, it was clearly not something he could deal with.

All he could do was try his best to stabilize the other party and inform the Soul Formation Dharma Protectors to help.

The white figure that had wrapped itself tightly glanced at Jiang Li’s hand. Clearly, it had noticed his small action.

However, he did not mind, nor did he have the slightest intention of attacking Jiang Li.

The other party only raised his hand and threw out a cloud token that was received by Jiang Li.

“Sir, what’s this?”

Jiang Li did not understand what the other party meant, but it seemed that the other party did not have any hostility, so he tried to ask.

“The Great Mountain Alliance resisted the invasion of evil creatures in the Great Mountain Region. You deserve credit.”

As soon as the other party finished speaking, it transformed into a ball of clouds before Jiang Li’s eyes, and then it vanished into thin air.

The protective array formation on the flying ship seemed to not exist to this person.

Moreover, up until now, the few Soul Formation cultivators who lived a wall away from him did not notice at all.

If not for the additional cloud-patterned token in his hand, he might have suspected that he was hallucinating.

“What powerful methods! But who exactly is this person?”

As soon as that person left, Jiang Li immediately used his authority to check the flying ship’s array formation. Then, just as he thought, there was no sign of tampering or invasion.

To have such an ability, he must not be a nobody. But why did the other party find him?

“Resisting the invasion of evil creatures? He should be talking about the monsters of the Asura World.”

“However, other than the three great sects, no one else knows the exact details of the Hundred Tempering Mountain battle.”

“Who is it? After knowing about this, he even used this method to come and give us the… reward?”

What faction would give them benefits for such a thing? Or was it this way?

Only then did Jiang Li have the time to carefully size up the cloud pattern token in his hand.

There was no name, no signature, and no functional introduction. So what was this thing used for?

Such a powerful cultivator had gone through so much trouble to come in front of him. It could not be to toy with him, right?

Just as he was about to put this thing into the coffin, he thought for a moment and applied a large number of seals on it before placing it in another storage bag.

In order to prevent any unexpected mishaps, and because Jiang Li and the others were in pretty good condition, after leaving the Endless Mountain Range, they directly drove towards Phoenix Sun City.

Before officially joining the Divine Judgment Hall, they were not qualified to move around the main hall.

However, in the eight main cities, there were direct branches of the Divine Judgment Hall used to handle affairs for ordinary sects that had yet to join.

They could transfer their contributions or claim the defense area of the Armored Trolls.

…

Five days later, Phoenix Sun City, Medicine King Pavilion.

“Come! This is the black tea I specially got someone to bring from the Jadewave Archipelago!”

The ancient teacup emitted hot air, and wisps of white mist spread out above the table, bringing with it a strange dense tea fragrance.

The Medicine King Pavilion’s Shopkeeper Jiang handed a cup of black tea to Jiang Li, his old face filled with a hospitable smile.

After the Great Mountain Alliance and the Medicine King Pavilion reached an agreement, the relationship between the two sides became even friendlier.

Before Jiang Li went to the Divine Judgment Hall branch, he came to the Medicine King Pavilion first.

The Great Mountain Alliance itself was a new organization. They did not have any merit points at all. They directly obtained 630,000 merit points through absorbing Ink Sect.

This was not impossible, but there was no precedent. It would probably take some time.

Jiang Li did not know much about this, so he came to the Medicine King Pavilion to ask about the plan.

“If you like it, I can give you a jar.”

Shopkeeper Jiang was still fiddling with his tea leaves, but Jiang Li only took a sip before placing it on the table.

“I understand Shopkeeper Jiang’s good intentions. Regarding my purpose in coming, I’ve also mentioned it on the communication spirit stone previously. Do you think you can give me some guidance?”

After talking about serious matters, Shopkeeper Jiang’s expression gradually became serious.

“If you want to claim a war area, there naturally won’t be a problem. The battlefront is tight now, so any additional manpower is useful.”

“However, the Divine Judgment Hall has always been very strict when it comes to transferring merit points. Especially since you don’t have any merit points yourself, it’s very likely that the Divine Judgment Hall will suspect that you attacked and threatened the Ink Sect for the sake of merit points.”

“Alliance Leader Jiang, you have to know that there are some things that the Iron Wolf Sect can do, but you might not be able to.”

Shopkeeper Jiang had a serious expression as he explained to Jiang Li tactfully.

Jiang Li also understood that if something like merit could be brazenly seized by conquest, the effects would be quite adverse.

When sects were exterminated and massacred, the Divine Judgment Hall would instead transfer the merit points to the victorious sect. Wouldn’t this encourage the Eastern Region sects to kill each other?

The Iron Wolf Sect had the support of the other three sects after they formed the Beast Frenzy Sect. It was easy for them to manipulate the situation, so they could turn a blind eye to it. That was why they dared to do this.

On the other hand, if it was the Great Mountain Alliance, even if they found the exact location of Thousand Sieve City, the best they could do was to seize some benefits and not do the same thing as the Iron Wolf Sect.

Unless Ink Sect joined willingly, it would not be approved.

Apart from that, just being suspected was already a better outcome.

In the worst case, if the cultivators of the Beast Frenzy Sect working in the Divine Judgment Hall discovered that the 630,000 merit points in the sect were abnormally transferred and someone deliberately obstructed them, that would be very annoying.

“Looks like it’s indeed a little troublesome.”

Jiang Li more or less knew about the situation here. Now that Shopkeeper Jiang explained it in detail, he felt that it was quite difficult.

“Shopkeeper Jiang, do you know anyone who can help us?”

At this moment, they could only try to use connections to get in.

“This… the internal structure of the Divine Judgment Hall is very tight… I’m afraid it’s not easy to deal with.”

“Let me think… Let me think.”

Shopkeeper Jiang fell into deep thought with a troubled expression.

After a while, he spoke hesitantly.

“I can recommend someone to you, but he only does things if you give him enough benefits. If it’s your situation, the cost might be very high.”

Jiang Li frowned.

This was clearly a guy who took the money first before doing work. However, at this point, they did not have much choice.

It would depend on how greedy that person was.
