Chapter 205: Late General Realm

Having been tormented by Ximen Changkong for so long in his past life, Jiang Xincheng knew Ximen Changkong’s way of doing things very well. On that night when he ruined Ximen Changkong’s plan and blasted his butt, Ximen Changkong already saw him as a sworn enemy.

After returning, Ximen Changkong immediately sent a Rain Transformation Realm great Primordial Warrior of Frontier Governor rank to find Jiang Xincheng. Unfortunately, Jiang Xincheng had already escaped with Lin Anan beforehand. This Rain Transformation Realm expert did not find Jiang Xincheng but instead was approached by a Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warrior of Frontier Governor rank who belonged to Tianhai University. Jiang Xincheng was warned not to get involved in the feud between Ximen Changkong and Jiang Xincheng, Lin Anan, and Xuanyuan Ningshuang, or else he would be killed.

A Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warrior was extremely valuable. After learning this news, Ximen Changkong immediately recalled this Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warrior. After all, the entire Ximen Family only had four Rain Transformation Realm great Primordial Warriors. The status of the Ximen Family was held up by these four Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warriors of Frontier Governor rank. Losing even one would be a disaster for the Ximen Family.

Unable to deploy Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warriors, Ximen Changkong had to send late Cloud Condensation Realm great Primordial Warriors. However, their target was not Jiang Xincheng but his parents and younger sister.

He had personally witnessed Jiang Xincheng’s strength that night and knew that even sending late Cloud Condensation Realm great Primordial Warriors might not be enough to capture Jiang Xincheng. That was why he had sent a Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warrior of Frontier Governor rank to be sure, but he did not expect that they were driven back.

Although late Cloud Condensation Realm great Primordial Warriors could not handle Jiang Xincheng, dealing with his parents and younger sister was an easy task. As long as they captured his parents and younger sister alive, he believed they could kill Jiang Xincheng.

Moreover, tormenting his parents and younger sister before taking revenge on Jiang Xincheng was also a very satisfying thing. So, Ximen Changkong immediately sent a late Cloud Condensation Realm great Primordial Warrior to bring Jiang Xincheng’s parents and younger sister to Tianhai City.

But what Ximen Changkong did not expect was that as soon as this late Cloud Condensation Realm great Primordial Warrior arrived in Jiang Xincheng’s hometown town, he was severely beaten by a hidden Rain Transformation Realm great Primordial Warrior. He was seriously injured and warned that if he ever dared to come after Jiang Xincheng’s parents and younger sister again, they would kill anyone who came, whether one or two.

Ximen Changkong was completely enraged and wanted to go after Jiang Xincheng’s friends and other relatives, but he was warned again by Tianhai University. Tianhai University warned him that if anything happened to Jiang Xincheng’s friends and relatives within a year, their Ximen Family’s Cloud Condensation Realm great Primordial Warriors would face trouble, even the Rain Transformation Realm Primordial Warriors of Frontier Governor rank.

Ximen Changkong was not a fool. Between the danger of family decline and revenge, he naturally chose to temporarily give up revenge to avoid Tianhai University targeting the Ximen Family’s experts.

Although this spoiled young master was somewhat ruthless and petty, both his mind and methods were first-rate.

After confirming that he could not deal with Jiang Xincheng in the short term, Ximen Changkong immediately recalled all the experts he had sent out. However, the hatred in his heart made him not let Jiang Xincheng off so easily. So, he specifically found Bai Juan and used her interviews and the video at the entrance of Blue Sky Grand Hotel to smear Jiang Xincheng, wanting to ruin his reputation, affect his cultivation, and prevent him from progressing so quickly.

Unfortunately, Ximen Changkong’s vicious methods were foiled by Xuanyuan Ningshuang and Lin Anan. Not only did they not damage Jiang Xincheng’s reputation, but they also made Ximen Changkong infamous. However, Ximen Changkong’s goal was partially achieved. With his sudden rise in fame, Jiang Xincheng immediately became a prominent figure at Tianhai University and was often entangled by female students, which delayed a lot of his cultivation time.

But how could this vicious and ruthless scion of the Ximen Family ever imagine that after a month, when the injury on his butt healed, an even more miserable fate awaited him.

Jiang Xincheng, who knew Ximen Changkong extremely well, had made full preparations before dealing with Ximen Changkong. This led to Ximen Changkong hitting walls repeatedly, with all his methods failing. Only the rumor-spreading caused a little trouble for Jiang Xincheng, but it was not significant.

If not for this, with Ximen Changkong’s series of vicious methods, how could Jiang Xincheng live so carefreely now? He would have long been forced into a miserable state by Ximen Changkong.

Using his parents as hostages, his younger sister as a hostage, or his friends and brothers as hostages—this alone would have made Jiang Xincheng suffer greatly and unable to cope. His strength was ultimately not enough to contend with Rain Transformation Realm Frontier Governors.

Besides, the gap in influence was too far. He simply could not protect everyone he cared about. Fortunately, Tianhai University had some demands of him, so Jiang Xincheng could make them agree to protect his relatives and friends for a year.

That meant Jiang Xincheng only had one year of cultivation time. If he did not raise his strength to a level where he could contend with the Ximen Family within a year, his relatives and friends would still be in danger.

Jiang Xincheng also did not expect that in this life, he would once again confront Ximen Changkong and be pressured so urgently by him. Perhaps this was the ill fate from his past life, destined for them to be sworn enemies.

If that was the case, then they would fight to the death.

A cold light flashed in Jiang Xincheng’s eyes as he sat cross-legged in the dried-up sweet potato cellar, circulating the Thousand Refinements Spirit Tempering Method to break through the bottleneck to the late General Realm.

As the Thousand Refinements Spirit Tempering Method circulated, surging Spiritual Sense Power rushed over. Under Jiang Xincheng’s control, it charged toward the depths of the Divine Sense Maze, like huge waves rolling, carrying overwhelming force.

“Boom, boom, boom…”

After months of hard cultivation, with the help of the Thousand Refinements Spirit Tempering Method and a large amount of Spiritual Sense pills, Jiang Xincheng’s Spiritual Sense had reached the peak of the mid-General Realm. It was also several times more abundant and refined than Practitioners of the same level. The bottleneck to the late General Realm was not difficult for him.

Amid the roaring Spiritual Sense Power, the maze bottleneck began to tremble. Once… twice… three times… a hundred times… all the way to three hundred times.

Jiang Xincheng’s whole body shook, and he rumbled all over. At the same time, the late General Realm bottleneck was broken through, and vast Spiritual Sense Power surged into a broader space.

Stronger pressure descended, refining this Spiritual Sense Power to be even purer and sharper. In just half an hour, the originally cyan Spiritual Sense Power was refined into a deep cyan color, several times purer and sharper than before.

Within a radius of seventy meters, everything was clearly visible, meaning Jiang Xincheng’s Spiritual Sense had nearly doubled once again.

Besides, in the deepest part of the Spirit Sense Sea, his soul, which was like a candle flame, had turned milky white, emitting an extremely soft glow. This made Jiang Xincheng’s control over his Spiritual Sense and body several times stronger.

With his Spiritual Sense reaching the late General Realm, it increased Jiang Xincheng’s overall combat power by at least one-fifth. Now that his Spiritual Sense had broken through, it was time to cultivate that powerful Origin Force Combat Skill.
