Di Ling’er’s secret manual was delivered a few hours ago. There was not just one book, but three!

There was really no justice in this world. With enough power in one’s hands, it becomes impossible not to try and reap benefits for oneself or one’s clan. Di Ming was named the General Pavilion Lord of the Earth Emanations Domain’s Demon-Killing Pavilion. He had too much power in his hands and too many resources to match. Just one word from him, and he could get several secret manuals immediately.

Among the three secret manuals, one was about the lessons on cultivating Divine Sound Laws. The book described in detail the basic knowledge required for Divine Sound Laws, the development pathways, and various uses of the laws. This was basically an encyclopedia. It helped Jiang Yi gain a more holistic understanding of the Divine Sound Laws.

The second book was on the various techniques which employ Divine Sound Laws. Jiang Yi scanned the book and found it very mystical. If he could realize all those techniques, his Divine Sound Laws’ prowess would improve significantly.

The third book was the most important among the three. It was on the technique to channel divine sound. After scanning the book, Jiang Yi’s eyes brightened a thousand times. According to the book—as long as he achieved the technique, he would be able to attack whoever he wanted to. He could easily lock in a target and ensure that no innocent people would be hurt by his attack.

“Thank you, Young Mistress Ling’er. Go and tell Qi Yue that I am going into seclusion. If any problems arise, they can handle it on my behalf.”

Jiang Yi’s eyes were filled with excitement. He carried the three secret manuals into his room and then activated the restrictions around it. Without regard for anything else, he began to focus whole-heartedly on studying the manuals. Whether the techniques would be effective against the Netherworld Realm’s Army once he perfected it or not did not matter. What mattered was his battle skills would improve for sure. It was not just the Netherworld Race that he had to fight in this world; he also had to fight other humans.

The Netherworld Race’s living beings were born out of the Netherworld Aura. They did not have desires or emotions. For example, they would not get married and have kids. They did not experience the full spectrum of emotions that humans did. This was why the Divine Sound Heaven Skill would be ineffective against the Netherworld Race’s soul spirits. Divine Sound nomological mystical abilities were special. They targeted humans’ hearts and warped their emotions to influence their behavior. This made them much easier targets to kill!

Of course, it was not that the Netherworld Race did not have any emotions whatsoever. They could still get angry, thirst for blood, and run with craze. This meant that there was a chance that Jiang Yi could affect them. The only question was how badly they would be affected.

When Jiang Yi finished reading the first secret manual, his knowledge of the Divine Sound Laws improved greatly. This perked him up significantly. If he had a single shred of hope, he would try his best to realize whatever he could. As long as he could realize the techniques, he would be able to reap huge amounts of battle merits. His skills would then improve by leaps and bounds.

He did not look through the second secret manual but instead skipped right to the third. He was prepared to master the skill of channeling his sound. When it was time to battle with the Netherworld Race, he would be able to experiment and perfect it.

Each time Jiang Yi became focused on training, he would not bother about anything happening outside even if the sky was falling.

Time pa.s.sed extremely quickly. He was still studying the technique to channel his divine sound when the restrictions around the room flashed. Jiang Yi opened the door and allowed the Poison Spirit in. The Poison Spirit reported in a low voice, “Young Lord, we are going on another mission.”

“So fast?”

Jiang Yi felt like only a short time had pa.s.sed. The Poison Spirit pursed his lips and said, “A day has gone by already.”

“Oh, oh!”

Jiang Yi no longer had the same concept of time in the Higher Domain. In the past, a day seemed to pa.s.s extremely slowly. Now, when he secluded himself for a few days, it felt like time pa.s.sed extremely quickly. Perhaps his cultivation level at this point increased his lifespan significantly, so that time seemed to pa.s.s much quicker.

The higher his cultivation level was, the longer his lifespan would be. A Heaven G.o.d could easily live as long as a hundred years, and it was a hundred Higher-Domain years at that. In the Higher Domain—as long as one was under twenty years old and unmarried, they were considered youths. The younger one was and the higher his cultivation level was, the more difficult it would be for them to age. This was also the reason why many formidable martial artists who were over a hundred years old still looked like middle-aged men.

Jiang Yi had already made the first step in realizing the technique to channel his divine sound. However, he still could not completely control his sound. It was more important now to go out on missions. Thus, he stood up and followed the Poison Spirit out.

Outside, the Fire Phoenix Army had already gathered next to the Teleportation Formation. They were all just waiting for Jiang Yi and the Poison Spirit. Di Ling’er had arrived a long time ago, but Qi Qingchen had not emerged. When Jiang Yi arrived, a white figure flew out of a castle in the east and shot straight towards the Teleportation Formation. She waved her hand and shouted, “Let’s go!”

Qi Qingchen had remained in the castle the entire time. She did not attend any meetings or gatherings; neither did she host any guests. She would only come out of the castle when it was time to go on missions. Jiang Yi guessed that there were too many flies surrounding her, causing her to feel frustrated. That was probably why she was acting this way; she wanted to show others that she was not here to play but to train.

When the Teleportation Formation lit up, a twenty-thousand-strong army in the west got moving. They moved quickly towards the city plaza.

The city plaza immediately became crowded. You Tianni was leading his army on a mission. There many young masters in the army, each of them leading the formidable martial artists from the various clans. Among these twenty thousand people, there were at least thirty or forty t.i.tled Battle G.o.ds and four or five hundred Battle G.o.ds. It looked like You Tianni was ready to go all out.

You Tianni and company were going to the same Teleportation Formation as the Fire Phoenix Army. Obviously, they were headed for the same place. Coincidentally, they wanted to go at the same time as well. Even the idiots among them could tell what was going on. The thought of You Tianni’s scheming and cunning nature caused them to feel nervous on Qi Qingchen and Jiang Yi’s behalf.

You Tianni knew the Demon-Buster Army’s military discipline like the back of his hand. Each time he struck, he made sure that he was in line with the military discipline, so that people would not get a hold on him. His strategy was to cause so much inconvenience and trouble for someone until their patience ran out, and they would bow their head to him. The Poison Spirit’s thrust was too formidable. It completely destroyed You Tianni’s reputation. If You Tianni did not get even with them, he would not rest.

…

Buzz!

Jiang Yi and company did not know that You Tianni was leading a twenty-thousand-strong army towards them. They teleported to a beautiful, serene mystic realm. The mystic realm looked quite vast. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed quite intense as well. Everyone immediately felt refreshed.

Jiang Yi waited until he no longer felt giddy. Then, he surveyed the surroundings and found that there was an altar nearby. There were three guardians, but no army was stationed there. Curious, he sent a voice transmission to Qi Yue:

“Where are we? Why aren’t there any soldiers stationed here?”

Qi Yue sent a voice transmission back, explaining:

“This is one of the ten most terrifying mystic realms in Earth Domain. If you station a million soldiers here—within a month, all of them would be wiped out.”

“Uh—”

Jiang Yi looked around at the hills and the clear waters and could not believe what he just heard. Immediately, he asked questions via voice transmission. Qi Qingchen was already giving orders for everyone to move out towards the north. Qi Fei had already brought a team with her to check out the path there.

Throughout the entire journey, Qi Yue explained everything to Jiang Yi. A full ten minutes later, Jiang Yi finally understood why this mystic realm was so terrifying.

This mystic realm was called the Sword Emanations Mystic Realm. It was said that there were countless beings of the Sword Emanations Race here. These were mysterious monsters who moved at terrifying speeds. No one could get a hold of them long enough to kill them. The Sword Emanations Race had no souls. They were born out of heaven and earth and were quite a curious existence. They would naturally attack any foreign being who would enter the Sword Emanations Mystic Realm, including the Netherworld Race.

An extremely difficult problem arose here: several living beings of the Netherworld Race had souls but no physical bodies. Since the Sword Emanations Race would only attack physical bodies, the Netherworld Race kept sending these special beings without physical bodies to gather here. Every once in a while, therefore, the Demon-Buster Army had to send people here to clean out the area.

The mission this time was obviously turned down by many other armies. This place was far too dangerous. Many armies hated coming here because they would always suffer huge losses and grave injuries.

The good thing was that a considerable amount of battle merits were on offer. They would be given more than two million battle merits to clean out slightly a hundred thousand souls from the Netherworld Race. As long as they did not meet huge batches of beings from the Sword Emanations Race, this mission would be relatively easy.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Some time after the Fire Phoenix Army set off towards the north, the Teleportation Formation began flas.h.i.+ng non-stop once again. You Tianni led his army to follow the Fire Phoenix Army closely. He turned towards the south, a deep and inexplicable smile appearing on his lips. The enchanting tattoo on his bald head began flas.h.i.+ng red, making him look exceptionally scary.
