Chapter 824 Interest

10 minutes soon pa.s.sed and Jiang Tianfang could sense that more than half of the destructive energy inside the bolt of Heavenly Tribulation had already been depleted.

However, to Jiang Tianfang's elation, 90 percent of the corrosive energy inside him had also been purified by the bolt of Heavenly Tribulation, leaving behind only the few strongest wisps of corrosive energy that were barely holding on.

At the same time, Shun Long and the others could all sense that Jiang Tianfang's aura was growing stronger and stronger at a terrifying rate.

With every moment that pa.s.sed, Jiang Tianfang seemed to become even stronger, and by now, his aura was almost on par with the aura of the Grand Elder of the Holy sect.

Although Jiang Tianfang was still an early rank 9 Dao Emperor, it was a fact that previously, he was unable to use his entire strength that was limited by those wisps of corrosive energy inside his dantian.

Even though he could deal with middle-stage Dao Emperors like Mao Jing from the Holy sect with relative ease, he would be completely powerless if he had to fight against someone like the Grand Elder!

However, as the corrosive energy was slowly purified, Jiang Tianfang could sense that he was finally getting rid of his shackles, allowing him to regain his previous strength!

This was a feeling that he hadn't felt for more than 50 years, causing tears to start flowing from his eyes.

Half an hour later, Jiang Tianfang could clearly feel that even the last trace of corrosive energy inside his dantian had already been cleansed, allowing him to truly exert his full strength.

At the same time, Shun Long, Liu Mei, and the others could now sense, that although the current Jiang Tianfang's aura was still slightly inferior to the Grand Elder's, the difference was actually extremely minuscule.

Nodding her head, the Northern Sovereign looked at Jiang Tianfang and said in a praising tone

''No wonder he was said to be the number 1 genius of the Jiang clan in their history. Most likely, by the time that he breaks through to become a peak rank 9 Dao Emperor, he will probably be a match for even Quan Lin.''

However, just as the Northern Sovereign thought that her surprise would end there, her eyes suddenly narrowed as she noticed that Jiang Tianfang's aura didn't show any signs of calming down, and instead, it kept increasing even more.

Of course, what the Northern Sovereign didn't know was that this was only the beginning, as Jiang Tianfang had finally begun to absorb the nouris.h.i.+ng energy that was left inside his dantian by the bolt of Heavenly Tribulation that had already exhausted all of its destructive energy.

In just a few minutes, Jiang Tianfang's aura that had been stranded to the early rank 9 of the Dao Emperor realm for so many years seemed to have broken past an invisible barrier, as Jiang Tianfang finally became a middle rank 9 Dao Emperor!

And yet, even after his successful breakthrough, Jiang Tianfang could sense that he had only used up 30 percent of the nouris.h.i.+ng energy from the bolt of Heavenly Tribulation.

With his eyes closed, Jiang Tianfang kept absorbing the energy inside his dantian, while his aura inched closer and closer towards the peak of the Dao Emperor realm with every pa.s.sing moment.

A few minutes later, Jiang Tianfang opened his eyes and let out a breath of foul qi, before he turned to look at Shun Long and the others with an elated gaze.

However, just as he was about to speak, Jiang Tianfang suddenly noticed that the Northern Sovereign seemed to have appeared in the courtyard as well, and was now staring at him with a profound look in her eyes.

Cupping his hands, Jiang Tianfang didn't hesitate as he bowed slightly towards the Northern Sovereign, and called out in a respectful manner

''Senior, it seems that I have disturbed you.''

The Northern Sovereign stared at Jiang Tianfang without speaking for a few moments, before she finally shook her head and said calmly

''There is no need to worry about that. Rather, what I am more interested in, is the pill that you have just consumed.

I am quite curious to hear what kind of pill could possibly invoke a Heavenly Tribulation and could not only heal those injuries of yours, but even allow you to breakthrough and become a middle rank 9 Dao Emperor!''

The Northern Sovereign didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, catching Jiang Tianfang slightly off-guard.

Of course, the Northern Sovereign didn't have any plans of beating around the bush because she could clearly see, that Jiang Tianfang had not only broken through to become a middle rank 9 Dao Emperor just now, but he was in fact, just a step away from reaching the peak of rank 9 in the Dao Emperor realm as well!

According to her calculations, Jiang Tianfang would need at most a couple of years before he broke through to reach the peak of the Dao Emperor realm.

Naturally, a miraculous pill like that was enough to attract the attention of even someone at the Northern Sovereign's level!

Jiang Tianfang fell silent for a few moments before he finally gritted his teeth and cupped his hands as he looked at the Northern Sovereign, before he answered in an apologetic manner

''Senior, forgive me but I can't answer this question since it involves a personal secret of mine. I hope that you can understand.''

However, the moment that Jiang Tianfang finished speaking, Shun Long and the others all noticed that the Northern Sovereign's face suddenly fell, before the temperature inside the 'Southern dragon's courtyard' started to drop and turn chilly.

A frosty look appeared in the Northern Sovereign's eyes as she stared at Jiang Tianfang, before she shook her head and answered in a cold voice

''Jiang Tianfang, you have stayed in my estate for quite a while now, and yet you refuse to give me even the slightest bit of face. You should understand that such a pill isn't something that you can keep for yourself. Don't make me repeat myself!''
