Chapter 255: The Commoner’s Crime

The best plan among the thirty-six strategies was to run away, showing how important escaping was. As long as the green hills remained, there would be no worry about firewood. The Golden Roc Transformation gave Jiang Xincheng a powerful life-saving Combat Technique. Even if he encountered a Late Rain Transformation Realm Frontier Governor later and could not win, he could still rely on the Golden Roc Transformation to escape.

Moreover, as the Golden Roc Transformation grew stronger, Jiang Xincheng’s overall strength would steadily improve. In the future, when facing enemies, he would have a greater advantage.

The Golden Roc Transformation only consumed a lot of Primordial Force and Spiritual Sense Power during cultivation. However, when using it, only constructing the Golden Roc Wings required more Primordial Force and Spiritual Sense Power. But once constructed, the consumption during use was far lower than during construction.

With Jiang Xincheng’s King Realm complete Spiritual Sense and Cloud Condensation Realm late stage complete Primordial Force, he could support using the Golden Roc Transformation for dozens of hours, allowing him to flee ten thousand miles away. This showed how fast the Golden Roc Transformation was.

Jiang Xincheng continued to use the Spiritual Sense Power in the sealed space to improve the Golden Roc Transformation. His speed grew faster and faster, gradually reaching the minor achievement peak stage. At this point, after activating the Golden Roc Transformation, his speed was more than three times faster than before, surpassing ninety-nine percent of Rain Transformation Realm Frontier Governors. His overall strength increased significantly.

At the same time, Jiang Xincheng’s Primordial Force and Spiritual Sense Power became more abundant and refined, almost reaching the peak of the King Realm and Cloud Condensation Realm. Once he reached the peak, Jiang Xincheng could attempt to break through.

As for other Origin Force Cultivation Methods and Combat Techniques, because he was busy cultivating the Golden Roc Transformation, there was not much progress.

One day, Jiang Xincheng was diligently cultivating the Golden Roc Transformation, wanting to break through the minor achievement peak stage. But at that moment, his Spiritual Sense detected a hunter from Nanyue Province a thousand meters away. The hunter had a big beard and red eyebrows, clearly affected by radiation.

He held a hunting gun and carefully walked through Xiangshan Mountain. Sensing this hunter, the first to appear in Xiangshan Mountain in several months, Jiang Xincheng frowned. Memories of the Tales of the Unusual he had read in his previous life flashed through his mind.

In his previous life, the sealed space was discovered first because of an earthquake that shook it into the open. Second, a hunter in Xiangshan Mountain accidentally found it during a hunt. This hunter was also a big mouth. Faced with such a huge opportunity, instead of keeping it to himself to improve, he ran home and told all his relatives and friends, wanting them to share in the sealed land’s fortune.

As a result, one of the hunter’s relatives or friends had an even bigger mouth and posted it online. This caused a sensation, and a large number of powerful people swarmed in, driving away the hunter’s relatives and friends and occupying the entire sealed land.

The hunter, naturally unwilling, brought his relatives and friends to try to reclaim the sealed land. But they were all killed by these powerful people, making him a tragic figure.

Sensing the bearded hunter in Xiangshan Mountain with his Spiritual Sense, Jiang Xincheng raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, could that big-mouthed foolish hunter from his previous life be this guy?

Thinking this, Jiang Xincheng was about to find a way to drive away this hunter, to prevent him from discovering himself and the sealed land. But at that moment, another earthquake struck Xiangshan Mountain.

Amid the deafening roars, the entire Xiangshan Mountain began to shake. Jiang Xincheng quickly stood up and hid in the Stone Chamber, waiting quietly for the earthquake to pass. At the same time, he extended his Spiritual Sense, wrapping it around the bearded hunter to observe what he was doing.

“Crack…”

At that moment, Jiang Xincheng’s Spiritual Sense detected a stone wall in the sealed space cracking during the earthquake. Outside oxygen rushed in. Wherever it passed, ten strange ancient willows began to wither at a visible rate, releasing huge amounts of refined Spiritual Sense Power.

Jiang Xincheng’s expression changed. He leaped up and rushed toward the crack despite the earthquake. His Primordial Force surged, sweeping up large pieces of broken rocks and slamming them into the crack. He repaired the several-meter-wide crack, preventing oxygen from entering and stopping the ancient willows inside from withering.

Then, Jiang Xincheng used the Bamboo Grove Sword to carve seamless large stones, blocking the crack tightly to avoid oxygen entering. Only then did he feel relieved.

After doing all this, the aftershocks had stopped. Looking at the bearded hunter staring at him in shock a hundred meters away, and then at the crack he had sealed, Jiang Xincheng finally confirmed that this hunter was indeed the big-mouthed hunter from his previous life who discovered the sealed land. The crack formed by the aftershocks was also the one from his previous life that led to the Ten Willows Wind opportunity.

If that was the case, then to prevent this secret from leaking, this bearded hunter could only… A cold glint flashed in Jiang Xincheng’s eyes as he charged toward the bearded hunter.

The commoner was innocent, but his treasure made him guilty. To prevent the events of his previous life from repeating and to monopolize the sealed land, Jiang Xincheng ruthlessly killed the bearded hunter and threw his body to the outskirts of the mountain forest a hundred miles away, so his family could find it.

No poison, no great man; a small mind makes no gentleman. The secret of the sealed land was too important, and for Jiang Xincheng, it was a heaven-reaching opportunity. For this secret, Jiang Xincheng did not hesitate to kill a big-mouthed hunter.

Moreover, even without his intervention, according to the trajectory of his previous life, this big-mouthed hunter would still be killed because of the sealed land, even dragging down his relatives and friends.

If that was the case, it was better to send him away early, so he wouldn’t drag down those around him. With the painful experiences of his previous life, Jiang Xincheng hated those who burdened their relatives and friends the most, especially his foolish self from before.

After doing all this, Jiang Xincheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally worried that the secret of the sealed land would be exposed. Now, it was better—the crack opened by the aftershocks in the sealed land was blocked by him, and the big-mouthed hunter was killed. For a short time, he didn’t need to worry about the secret of the sealed land being exposed. Jiang Xincheng could relax and do some other things.

His King Realm complete Spiritual Sense had reached a bottleneck. The cultivation of Divine Arrow Art and Golden Roc Transformation had also hit a bottleneck, making it hard to break through in a short time. For now, Jiang Xincheng couldn’t use the vast Spiritual Sense Power of the sealed land.

If that was the case, Jiang Xincheng didn’t plan to stay here any longer. He had many things to do. For example, the Yangshan Pills were used up, so he needed to refine some to break through the Cloud Condensation Realm bottleneck. Also, the teachers and principal of Tianhai University had called, asking him to prepare to challenge various universities before the holiday, to boost Tianhai University’s reputation and attract more excellent students. His sister was also about to take the college entrance exam and wanted him to go back and accompany her. There was also the management of Jianghe Group, and the Yuan Crystal Mine in Shimen Mountain worth billions of Credit Points…
