Chapter 324: Planting Paper Talismans!

“Those bullies! The Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect are too much!”

Anger filled every inch of Jiang He’s face.

They had actually run to his house to mess around when he was not home?

Do they even regard me, Jiang He, as an actual person?

Nonetheless, much of Jiang He’s frustration was eased after several curses. Then, Jiang He remembered what the True Habitant of Nine Dragons said when Jiang He ran into him as well as Cloudy Sky Fairy Child… and realized with a start.

The True Habitant of Nine Dragons had already been to his house then, did he not?

After that, he returned in failure to his sect and asked for Cloudy Sky Fairy Child because he failed to crack the array?

“Hold on… Cloudy Sky can’t crack the array that I’d put up on a whim?”

Still, a thought occurred to Jiang He then, and he asked, “Elder Mo, did you say that the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had asked the chieftain of the Taixu Sect to crack my array?”

“That’s right.”

Elder Mo confirmed it, and added with vindication, “However, the chieftain did not agree to it. Why would the Taixu Sect do this given our friendship with you, Jiang He?”

“No, the chieftain should go!”

Jiang He laughed instead. “Elder Mo, could you please pass my word to your chieftain? He must go to crack the array, and it would not matter even if they crack the array since I’m not at home.”

“Eh?”

The image of Elder Mo conjured out of mystic energies appeared entirely baffled, and he murmured in confusion, “Jiang He, you’re…”

You’ve laid out the array and then asked someone else to crack the array… are you wrong in the head?

Jiang He smiled. “To tell the truth, Elder Mo, I’ve only learned arrays recently, so I have no idea at all about how strong or the limits of the arrays I put up are. If your Taixu Sect would go crack it, you could help me uncovered the strength of my array.”

“Eh?”

That was when Jiang He’s eyes lit up as he turned toward the distant surface of the ocean. Waves were suddenly kicking up over the tranquil seas as if something was streaking through the tides, and Jiang He promptly said, “Alright, Elder Mo. Let’s talk later.”

When he finished, he put away the jade charm and his divine mind extended to observe the behemoth crashing through the waves.

It was a colossal serpent that was more than a thousand meters in length. Its thick, gigantic head was just like a small hill covered in streaks of flowery patterns. Its body also exuded a frightening aura and it moved at three times the speed of sound even though it was slithering in the water, with every other marine creature avoiding it where it passed.

“Titanoboa?”

Jiang He recognized the snake.

It was the Titanoboa, which was in the list of most powerful serpent-type Ferals, and was said to be the largest Feral on Earth as well as an ancient mutated species. And now… it seemed quite true.

Boom!

A pillar of water shot up to the skies from under the ocean all of a sudden.

The Titanoboa’s thousand-meter long then extended out from the water. Though only a fifth of its body poked out, it was still just over two hundred meters long.

Its eyes, glimmering in pale-blue radiance glared coldly at Jiang He from a handful of kilometers away and it growled in human speech, “You dare slaughter my descendant, human?”

“Your descendant?”

The water python that he had killed just now was a descendant of the Titanoboa?

Still, his eyes lit up after a brief surprise.

The water python was so headstrong and would rather die than yield. Still, since the Titanoboa was a Feral Emperor and more intelligent, it would weigh the pros and cons, would it not?

Even if the Titanoboa was another headstrong snake, it would be more, would it not?

With this, he could attempt his physical beast taming technique multiple times.

“Human!”

The Titanoboa roared again when Jiang He said nothing.

At its fury, the seas churned over a dozen kilometers, with a tidal wave reaching a hundred feet high surging towards Jiang He. Laughing, Jiang He parted the wave with a single punch and was just about to attack when a sword radiance shot toward the Titanoboa’s hill-sized head from the distance, slashing down upon it with a ‘snikt’ sound.

Boom!

The waves that were kicked up all crashed down.

The Titanoboa’s massive head also slow slipped off its neck and slammed into the water.

In the distance, a middle-aged man arrived, standing atop a gleaming sword.

“Is that someone from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?”

Jiang He’s eyes narrowed.

He could see that the middle-aged man had already took out a paper talisman as he flew towards him, clearly sending a message.

‘Oh, no!’

‘According to Elder Mo, the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect have sent many of their elites to bother me. And now, that man has already sent a message, and soon a lot of elites would surround me, and I would be outnumbered… Not to mention that nothing good would come if I end up captured by one of those two sects!’

Jiang He’s thoughts were passing through rapidly in his head.

Now that things had come to his, he would have to end the fight quickly, and…

Run away!

“Jiang He!”

The man from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect possessed an overwhelming aura and barked from the distance, “Surrender, and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect would show you mercy.”

Jiang He, on the other hand, was standing up in the air while the ocean’s waves churned beneath his feet. With a wave of his hand, mystic energies gusted as he retrieved the corpse of the Titanoboa before he turned toward the Ten Thousand Swords Sect man in the distance.

A full-fledged Yuan Spirit.

His aura was strong, though somewhat fell short compared to the True Habitant of Nine Dragons.

Still, he was a sword cultivator, and from how the sword under his feet was burning in scarlet radiance, it must be a fire-type premium grade soul weapon. On the other hand, the flying sword he released to slay the Titanoboa stirred with watery radiance, and was obviously a water-type premium grade soul weapon.

In other words, that man had learned the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array too.

Whoosh!

Jiang He had moved in a flash to meet the man in battle.

“Eh?”

The man’s eyes flashed and he actually stopped. Above his head, his two flying swords took to the air, turning into a water dragon and a fire dragon that tangled as his Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array materialized, and he released it at Jiang He from the distance by pointing with his finger from afar.

“Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array?”

Jiang He sneered. His six flying swords all shot out at a thought, conjuring the Sword Array of Five Elements and Six Pulses instantly while he cried, “How dare you show off your paltry tricks in my face. Five Elements and Six Pulses, take him!”

Swish!

At that very moment, heaven and earth changed colors.

The sword radiances of five elements brightened the dark night.

His eyes tightening, the elder from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect cried out in surprised. He turned and tried to run, but he did not manage to even flee half a kilometer when he was engulfed in sword radiance, leaving a corpse full of sword scars after the sword radiance fades.

Jiang He walked up, extended his hand and grabbed, retrieving the Spatial Ring and both flying swords from the corpse, before instantly diving down the sea and disappearing.

Around a minute later.

Whoosh!

Another sword light arrived, streaking through the air.

On top of it, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect vice-chieftain who shouldered a bronze bottle-gourd stared at the corpse floating over the ocean, his killing intent overflowing.

Soon, many other cultivators arrived.

There was a total of eight of them belonging to the Penglai Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Six of them were full-fledged Yuan Spirits while the other two were Convergence-Tier, one being the Ten Thousand Swords Sect vice-chieftain while the other was affiliated with the Penglai Sect.

“Elder Fate is dead?”

“His strength ranks among the best of those standing in the great circle of Yuan Spirit, and even Convergence-novice cultivators would have to evade his swords once he casts his Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array. However, it was at most half an instant after Elder Fate sent word of Jiang He’s whereabouts… how powerful is he?”

Everyone was debating then.

Fear could be seen in the eyes of the full-fledged Yuan Spirit cultivators.

Elder Fate was stronger than most of them, and yet Jiang He had managed to kill him so swiftly… what if they were the ones who ended up finding Jiang He too?

The bottle-gourd vice-chieftain of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect naturally could tell how wary the others were, and as such, growled, “Form pairs as you search. Do not be reckless if you find Jiang He.”

***

Meanwhile, Jiang He was already thousands of miles away.

He had turned his farm into a pebble and tethered it to a small isle, and he entered it with a flash.

Inside, the Seven Bottle Gourd Brothers were making ‘hetui’ spitting sounds as they practiced their air blades. Likewise, Dumbo and Trumbo were laying at a corner, clutching at Orirocks to cultivate, just as the two golden eaglets were practicing Sky Daemon Invincibility.

Even the willow tree was shining with crystalline green radiance to absorb the Yuan Qi in the farm, strengthening itself. Still, that path of evolution was a little slow.

It was the same for the Cloudscraper Vine too.

Would it had developed so quickly if Jiang He had not fed it piles of Feral corpses?

‘Looks like it’s time to create a cultivation method for plants,’ iang He thought, and took out the two premium-grade soul weapons from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect Elder with a turn of his hand.

“Not bad. Flying swords, one water-type and one fire-type, both being premium-grade soul weapons. After I strengthen them by planting, they would probably become inferior-grade sage weapons and my Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array would increase in power from thirty to fifty percent in power!”

He hence planted both swords and then took out the elder’s Spatial Ring, opening it to check.

There was nothing much inside. Aside from a Ten Thousand Swords Sect Elder’s token plate marked with ‘Fate’, there were some clothes, as well as over a hundred Orirocks and four yellowed paper talismans.

“Are the elders of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect that poor?” Jiang He complained. But just as he was about to withdraw his spirit from the Spatial Ring, a thought reached him and he turned towards the hundred over Orirocks once more.

“Those Orirocks…”

“They don’t look like the ones I planted previously.”

Jiang He took out one of the Orirocks to check, and realized that while they were identical in shape and size to the Orirocks before, the Yuan Qi contained within was much more concentrated than the ones he planted.

“Is this… a mediocre-grade spirit stone?”

Jiang He realized then, and could not help exclaiming in delight, “If they really are, won’t I be able to gather another wave of Farm Points if I planted them?”

He then did a through count—there were a total of 120 mediocre-grade spirit stones.

Jiang He then planted all 120, before picking up the four paper talismans.

After studying them, he realized that two of them were sword talismans. Once invoked, it could unleash a Sword Qi strike equal to the full-powered blow of a full-fledged Yuan Spirit cultivator.

It was neither strong nor weak.

Still, there were restraints to their usage and they had to be invoked with divine mind, which was why only Yuan Spirit-novice cultivators could use them.

“A Yuan Spirit-novice could attack with the power of a full-fledged Yuan Spirt… not bad.”

Jiang He gave his appraisal, before turning toward the two other paper talismans.

They were Thunder Talismans that contained the might of thunder, which release of a burst of thunder energy equal to the the full-powered blow of a full-fledged Yuan Spirit cultivator.

“Chickenfeed!” Jiang He complained.

The full powered blow of a full-fledged Yuan Spirit?

Even the weakest cultivator from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the Penglai Sect who were after his head was probably a full-fledged Yuan Spirit!

Though the charms sounded impressive, they were actually completely useless for him since he could cast the Ice and Fire Duality Sword Array now to that end now, even easily slay a full-fledged Yuan Spirit with his Sword Array of Five Elements and Six Pulses.

If he could unleash a full-powered strike at the Convergence-tier…

“Hmmm?”

Jiang He could not help blinking as an idea suddenly came to him. Taking out a spirit condensation pellet to cultivate from, he thought, “If I plant the paper talismans to strengthen them, would they unleash power akin to a Convergence-tier?”

That might just work!

Jiang He hence dug four holes, exchanged four bags of Mysterious Soil, and planted all four paper talismans.

Nonetheless, that was the very moment the sudden humming of a blade rang, followed by a burst of divine radiance that covered the entire farm.

Jiang He was at first surprised, and then delighted…

Was the Mosquito Cutter finally ripening?
