600 Back to Square One
The man from the Ancient Yin Yang Sect could not understand. How did these two survive this long?
If he could understand everything going on here, he would have taken the Dragon Burial Sword long ago. There would have been no possibility for these people to come in and fight for the Dragon Burial Sword!
However, Jiang Ming did not believe him at all.
“Sir, let me give you a piece of advice. It’s better for you to tell us the truth. After all, you’re destined to not be able to survive here for too long. I think you’re in an extremely weak state right now, right? If this continues, you will die, and your soul will be destroyed. At that time, I want to see how far you can go.”
With that said, the entire place instantly fell into dead silence.
The man gritted his teeth and said hatefully, “What I hate the most is cunning people like you. I’d rather die than be tricked by you people!”
Not only did Jiang Ming not feel ashamed, but he also had a proud expression on his face, which made the man gnash his teeth even more. After a long while, he finally gave up.
“Since you insist on figuring this out, let me tell you. The undead is at the peak of the Deity Transformation Realm. You heard it right.”
Any major realm was divided into four minor stages: the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage and finally, the peak.
Only incredibly talented people could reach the peak of any realm.
At present, apart from Jiang Ming who had reached the peak of the three realms of Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, and Golden Core, only Zhu An’an had reached the peak of her realm.
On the next level, for example, Gu Chi, who had the aptitude of a Holy Son, and Sha Luo, who was a terrifying genius, had only reached the peak of the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment Realm. Even Gu Chi had only reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm with Jiang Ming’s help. Otherwise, Gu Chi would never have been able to reach this level by himself.
As for the peak of the Golden Core Realm, no one could reach it.
“That’s not right. There’s one more person that I missed out. Zhu Asi is the top genius of the Zhuyan Palace’s outer sect. According to what the others said, Zhu Asi seems to be waiting for something. Otherwise, with his aptitude and strength, he would definitely not be a weakling in the inner sect. But besides me, An’an, and Zhu Asi, this is the first time I’ve heard of someone reaching the peak of the Golden Core Realm, not to mention the peak of the Deity Transformation Realm!”
Jiang Ming did not dare say whether he could reach the peak of the Soul Formation Realm, which was enough to show how difficult it was. However, an undead person had reached this step, so he could not help but be shocked.
The man from the Ancient Yin Yang Sect was also shocked. He gulped and said, “Now you should understand what I mean. This guy is very terrifying. Even if the three of us join forces, we won’t be a match for him! Three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators against one Deity Transformation Realm cultivator… Even if he is an undead creature who fights only by instinct, we still can’t deal with him! Besides, there is no trust between us in the first place. If we want to join hands, we will have to be wary of each other, and our combat ability will be even worse. How are we going to deal with an undead creature who knows neither fatigue nor pain when he is at his peak?”
The man from the Ancient Yin Yang Sect spoke very sincerely. He was right. Even if the three of them joined forces, it was impossible for them to work together well. In the end, there would definitely be some problems.
However, Jiang Ming was determined to get the Dragon Burial Sword, so he immediately narrowed his eyes.
“Don’t you want to get out of here alive? I’ll take the Dragon Burial Sword and leave with you as a condition for our cooperation. How about that?”
“Hehe, if I want to leave, I might consume a lot of my body’s essence, but it’s not to the extent that I can’t leave on my own. So, you’re being ridiculous. The Dragon Burial Sword is a matter of great importance. Not only can it establish a connection with the Long family, but it can also form a partnership agreement with the Zhan family. This is a great thing. Do you think I’ll give such a great opportunity to someone I don’t know?”
The man from the Ancient Yin Yang Sect laughed coldly. He felt that there was something wrong with the person in front of them.
After Jiang Ming heard this, he pondered for a long time before he slowly said, “Since you insist on not cooperating with me, it’s fine. However, I have to remind you that if I obtain the Dragon Burial Sword, I will kill you immediately… Believe me, I can’t deal with that terrifying existence over there, but it’s still easy for me to kill you.”
“How dare you?”
The ancient sect master was furious. He wanted to shout a few words, but suddenly, a huge sword’s murderous aura came from afar. Jiang Ming and the ancient sect master did not dare to make a sound. They all chose a place to hide from this murderous aura.
“What exactly happened? Why was there such a tyrannical murderous aura descending continuously? Even if this guy sensed our existence, he shouldn’t be in such a state. After all, he’s an undead creature. He won’t attack unless he senses danger.”
At this moment, the man from the Ancient Yin Yang Sect could not figure out what was going on with the undead creature.
Suddenly, he thought of something. He could not help but grit his teeth and roar, “Did you bastards bring something ominous?”
“Something ominous?”
Jiang Ming was stunned. He did not quite understand what this guy was referring to.
At this moment, another powerful aura swept over, causing people’s hearts to tremble. It was obvious that they all felt great pressure.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With such a strong force approaching, Jiang Ming finally could not hold it in any longer. He immediately pulled Zhu An’an and sped three to four miles away. Only then did he manage to pull away from the undead creature.
“But we’re back to square one!”
The man from the Ancient Yin Yang Sect finally appeared. He said with a gloomy face, “If it weren’t for you guys, I wouldn’t have to go back to square one. You have no right to complain here. I’ve been here for months without being able to step into one of the divisions. How long have you been in a stalemate?”
All his efforts of the past few months had gone to waste!
The man from the Ancient Yin Yang Sect wished he could kill the two people in front of him.
Zhu An’an blocked Jiang Ming and said coldly, “How dare you!”
The man from the Ancient Yin Yang Sect bit his lips and finally chose to give up. This woman’s strength was unfathomable, and he might not be a match for her.
At this moment, many changes happened to Zhu An’an’s body, especially her aura. She had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm!
“How is this possible? How did you manage to break through without rhyme or reason?” the man asked with a puzzled expression. He had been painstakingly cultivating for so long, but he had not been able to step into the next stage. In the end, Zhu An’an had easily reached the peak stage that countless people yearned for?
And it was at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm too!
