My power increases 100 Jin a Day

Not much time has passed.

Jiang Shi once again bid farewell to Zhao Houcai and appeared in the Southern Border Ancient Forest.

As he arrived, the narrow canyon was rocked by strong tremors, erupting like a volcano.

His eyes flashed as he looked up.

Daoist Master Xuan finally broke through, letting out a long roar skyward, his voice intense, and his aura was unusually brilliant. His whole demeanor was one of vigorous spirit and an indescribable expression of ebullience.

Ancient Saint Realm!

His expression was one of excitement and disbelief. After so many years, he finally succeeded in breaking into the Ancient Saint Realm. From this day forth, he would completely transcend the mundane, reaching the realm of the saints.

Compared to his previous self, he would be completely different!

"Jiang Shi, I truly thank you. Your kindness to this old man is something I can never repay in my lifetime."

Daoist Master Xuan’s figure flickered, landing close to Jiang Shi as he spoke excitedly.

"No need for formalities, senior. The relationship between us makes such words unnecessary. Successfully breaking into the Ancient Saint Realm is a good thing both for you and for me."

Jiang Shi said.

"Jiang Shi, rest assured, this old man knows that no words can express my gratitude now. But from now on, any command you have, this old man will fulfill without hesitation, even if it means going through mountains of knives and seas of fire!"

Daoist Master Xuan continued to speak excitedly.

This kindness is too great to be explained in a sentence or two.

Maybe it seems like nothing in Jiang Shi’s eyes.

But in his eyes, the kindness is vast as the sky.

Without Jiang Shi, he would have never been able to surpass this threshold in his lifetime!

This is the most important step between human and saint!

Jiang Shi gently shook his head and said, "I probably won’t be able to stay in this world for long. If the senior truly wants to thank me, you might as well help the Celestial Demon Sect Leader to reorganize the sect."

"Jiang Shi, what do you mean by saying you won’t be able to stay here much longer?"

Daoist Master Xuan was taken aback, "Are you planning to leave this world?"

"Yes, the restrictions of this world are dissipating all the time. Those divine spirits will never let me go. Considering recent events, you should have guessed by now. Leaving this world is my only option, but rest assured, I’ve already arranged my path. You just need to take care of the Celestial Demon Sect for me, as for everything else, I have my own plans."

Jiang Shi said.

He had thought it through. Rather than being cornered by those divine spirits, it’s better to leave willingly. Though the ancient path Zhao Houcai mentioned may be dangerous, it’s better than nothing.

At least for now, that ancient path is his only way out. As long as he proceeds cautiously, there shouldn’t be any major issues.

After all, he’s now comparable to a demigod.

If worse comes to worst, he can have the puppet go ahead to probe.

"This..."

Daoist Master Xuan’s expression changed several times, his heart surging, before he sighed and said, "Take care of yourself."

"Hmm."

Jiang Shi nodded lightly.

Soon after.

He settled down on a secluded mountain peak, sitting cross-legged, and took out the Heaven-Swallowing Pot from before.

The Jade Pot’s color was dreamlike, seemingly wrapped in a misty sheen, and numerous runes swirled over its surface, mysterious and unfathomable. Even after being taken out, subtle disturbances could be felt coming from inside.

Jiang Shi’s eyes flashed as he looked through the pot’s opening into the Jade Pot.

Inside the pot’s deep and mysterious opening, the people like Chi Tong who had been swallowed were still not completely dead; their bodies horribly disfigured, full of pits and hollows, riddled with skeletal remains, and they struggled miserably within the pot.

"Jiang Shi, let me out, and fight me fairly, you despicable person, hurry and let me out, let me out!"

Angry and unwilling roars continuously came from Chi Tong’s mouth, causing the entire Jade Pot to tremble relentlessly.

"Chi Tong, now that you’ve fallen into my hands, thinking I’ll let you out is merely wishful thinking. I’ll completely refine you now, making you vanish without a trace. As for the others, the same fate awaits them all. None will escape."

Jiang Shi acted without hesitation, immediately inputting Sacred Power, and began refining the figures within the Jade Pot with full force.

Ah!

Miserable shrieks immediately resounded from within the whole Jade Pot, and its surface started to shine and transform incessantly.

It continued for around ten minutes before it finally calmed down completely.

The glow at the pot’s opening flickered, and more than a dozen yellow-colored Ancient Saint Inner Cores emerged, shining brightly like gold, left behind by all those Ancient Saints swallowed before.

Among all these Ancient Saint Inner Cores, there was one Inner Core with a purple-gold hue.

On its surface, patterns swirled, exuding faint sacred power, distinctly different from the other Inner Cores at a glance.

This was left by Chi Tong.

Jiang Shi casually picked up the purple-gold Inner Core, gently playing with it, and feeling it carefully.

"This is the Inner Core of a demigod-level expert, truly different from those of the Ancient Saint Great Perfection..."

The power contained within was exceptionally pure, far exceeding the Ancient Saint Great Perfection by an unknown degree.

His fingers gently squeezed, but it felt like squeezing Divine Gold, completely unmovable.

Moments later.

He swallowed the Inner Cores one by one, directly starting to absorb them.

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

The strength of Jiang Shi’s physical body began rapidly increasing.

Especially the True Dragon Body Tempering Secret Technique, which seemed made specifically for Jiang Shi.

In just two short days, his strength doubled once again.

His eyes opened, looking at his hands. With a gentle grip of his fingers, it was as if they transformed into Divine Gold, with dragon patterns emerging on their surface.

"My physical body seems to have reached its limit now. It’s nearly impossible to continue enhancing it unless I completely attain the Divine Spirit Realm."

Jiang Shi spoke to himself.

However, reaching the Divine Spirit Realm, though spoken of simply, is as difficult as reaching the heavens.

At least until now, he had no clue.

Suddenly, Jiang Shi remembered something and looked at the panel before him again.

In the talent section, a new talent had astonishingly appeared.

Rage (Short-term potential activation, rapid power surge, but at the cost of personal injury. The more severe the injury, the stronger the power).

"Potential activation, rapid power surge?"

Jiang Shi’s heart surged.

This kind of talent?

What is this?

The Seven Injuries Fist?

Hurting the enemy after first hurting oneself?

Suddenly, his eyes flashed and landed on another talent.

Guiyuan!

"Rage talent and Guiyuan talent can mutually complement each other, one constantly activating its potential, and the other continuously healing itself, perfectly compensating for the weaknesses."

Jiang Shi mused.

He realized these talents aren’t randomly generated; each talent seems to mutually complement and reinforce the other.

After pairing them two-by-two, their power surges significantly!

These talents are mysterious and powerful.

As Jiang Shi carefully regarded the panel before him, suddenly, his face moved, glancing ahead.

Several streaks of black light quickly approached at rapid speed.

Within the black light were four young people with smiles on their faces, along with an elderly man. All of them emanated strong auras.

They were all Ancient Saints!

Jiang Shi frowned, confused.

Who are these people?

The five streaks of light soon noticed Jiang Shi and flew over, landing in front of him.

"Are you Fellow Daoist Jiang Shi? We have met Fellow Daoist Jiang Shi!"

The leading elder cupped his hands with a smile.

"Who are you?"

Jiang Shi asked.

"I’m the Elder of External Affairs from the Thousand Tribulations Sect, sincerely apologizing for previous events. We’ve come specifically to apologize to Fellow Daoist Jiang Shi, hoping you can forgive us."

The elder cupped his hands and smiled.

"Thousand Tribulations Sect?"

Jiang Shi furrowed his brow.

"Yes, the previous issues between the Thousand Tribulations Sect and Fellow Daoist Jiang were mere misunderstandings. In fact, there was no real animosity between our sect and you. They were just trivial matters. We’re willing to pay any price to turn hostility into friendship with Fellow Daoist Jiang."

The elder smiled.

"Oh?"

Jiang Shi raised his eyebrows, looking at them again.

This truly is strange.

Everyone wants to put him to death, yet the Thousand Tribulations Sect actively seeks to resolve their enmity?

Jiang Shi pondered briefly, quickly understanding the reason.

Could the Thousand Tribulations Sect still be hoping to unlock the Thousand Demon Cave through him?

"Are you here for the Thousand Demon Cave?"

Jiang Shi asked.
