My power increases 100 Jin a Day

Within Fengdu Mountain.

Gray mist envelops, boundless and infinite.

At the towering peak, Jiang Shi furrows his brow, repeatedly shaking the Heaven-Swallowing Pot in his hand.

An entire afternoon has passed, yet the Divine Spirit that was swallowed into the pot has still not been refined.

It’s undeniable how formidable the life force of a Divine Spirit is.

Especially a Divine Spirit in such relatively intact condition, resembling an indestructible brass pea.

No matter how he channels the Sacred Power, the opponent’s anguished cries never cease.

Various venomous shouts continuously emanate from within the Heaven-Swallowing Pot.

"Boy, when I break free, I will cut you into a thousand pieces, seal you into an oil lamp, and let you endure endless pain for eternity!"

"Shut up, you!"

Jiang Shi listens without reacting, continuing to increase his power, simultaneously communicating with the Celestial Demon’s Right Hand within him, seeking a method to completely refine the opponent.

"Divine Spirits do not die unless their origin is severely damaged; I cannot assist you in this matter."

A regretful voice emanates from the Celestial Demon’s Right Hand.

He can only thrust the opponent into the Heaven-Swallowing Pot but cannot completely kill him.

This Divine Spirit, unlike Li Xinghe, whose origin was damaged and fatally wounded, has relatively minor injuries and preserved origin—being able to seal him is already an extraordinary stroke of luck.

"Is that so..."

Jiang Shi furrows his brow in deep frustration.

Looks like he’s still too weak!

Unnoticed, night has fallen, and the last glimmer of light has completely vanished.

Everything around has plunged into absolute darkness and silence, with not a shred of starlight visible high above.

The world is enveloped by an overwhelming sense of oppression, making it hard to breathe.

Jiang Shi stands up, inadvertently gazing into the sky, his eyes suddenly sweeping towards Zhao Houcai.

"Senior, there’s no moonlight tonight; might I leave?"

"No rush, it’s not time yet. If there is no moonlight by midnight, only then is it truly time to leave."

Zhao Houcai also looks to the heavens, speaking, "For now, we must wait a bit longer."

"Alright, then let’s keep waiting."

Jiang Shi nods.

Suddenly, a brilliant streak of light comes from afar, like lightning, rapidly flying towards this direction.

Jiang Shi, Zhao Houcai, and the others tense their faces, quickly looking up.

The streak of light rushes near, revealing a figure inside with red hair and beard, dressed in wide-sleeved robes, looking around sixty or seventy years old.

It is none other than Chen Lin!

"It’s you!"

Jiang Shi’s eyes shoot divine light as he speaks.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, I have finally found you."

Upon meeting, Chen Lin swiftly clasps his fists and says, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, were you planning to leave via the Yellow Springs Road?"

"How do you know?"

Jiang Shi furrows his brow.

"Every trace of Fellow Daoist Jiang has been exposed, including the matter of killing those two Divine Spirits being known to the Nine Crows Elder, who initially planned to destroy this world and directly seize you, stopped by our Elder Sword Saint of the Thousand Tribulations Sect.

Now the passage our Thousand Tribulations Sect has constructed is thoroughly exposed; Fellow Daoist Jiang now has only the Yellow Springs Road remaining, yet it is exceptionally dangerous, and I specifically brought a map and information to assist you, lest you be deceived by villains."

Saying this, he takes out a yellow scroll, handing it to Jiang Shi while casting a deep glance at Zhao Houcai and the others.

Zhao Houcai immediately displays a hint of flattery, remaining silent.

"Oh?"

Jiang Shi is greatly surprised.

For the Thousand Tribulations Sect to shield him from formidable foes and deliver a map?

He takes the map and information, carefully examining them, and nods, "Thank you all."

"Where would Fellow Daoist Jiang say such words? You’ve made an alliance with us; from now onwards, regardless of anyone’s situation, we also wish for your safety. Without exception, only you can aid us, so both sentimentally and rationally, we will fully support you, hoping you’ll face no harm."

Chen Lin speaks.

Jiang Shi’s origin blood is their only key to unlocking the Thousand Demon Cave, which they’ve plotted for countless years, nearly succeeding; they cannot afford Jiang Shi’s mishap.

Though Meng Fang is also an Innate Vajra, he is currently too weak to catch their eye.

Moreover, Meng Fang is now noticed by other forces; even if he is nurtured later, he may not be willing to help them open the Thousand Demon Cave.

Only Jiang Shi can help them.

Jiang Shi gently nods, without pretense, saying, "What’s happening outside the Primordial Great Mountains now? Have they really discovered my plan to activate the Yellow Springs Road?"

"Indeed, the gods wield extraordinary means, able to peer into the Great Heng World. All your movements have been uncovered by them. Upon entering the Yellow Springs Road, they will certainly take further actions."

Chen Lin says.

"Isn’t it said that few know about the Yellow Springs Road?"

Jiang Shi frowns.

"That’s only relative; beings like the Nine Crows Elder, who’ve lived for countless years, witnessing endless history and rise and fall—there’s almost nothing that can be hidden from them."

Chen Lin says, "Moreover, the current Yellow Springs Road differs from before, with complex situations within it, occupied by hosts of monsters and sinister elements, becoming a true chaotic territory. In the information I’ve given you, the current state of the Yellow Springs Road is accurately recorded."

"Alright, I understand."

Jiang Shi nods affirmatively again.

"In that case, the old man will take his leave; Fellow Daoist Jiang must be cautious, stay in contact via the Jade Pendant."

Chen Lin solemnly clasps his fists again.

Just as he prepares to depart, suddenly a piercing wailing echoes around, sharp and filled with resentment, vast swathes of black energy rising from all directions, surging aggressively and enveloping the surroundings.
