I am submissive in Journey to the West, I strike hard at the gods

Jiang Wang smiled but did not answer directly. He said vaguely, "It's just a Chaos-level protective spiritual treasure. I don't usually activate it easily. Today, the situation was critical, so I had no choice but to use it."

He deliberately obscured the specific grade of the spiritual treasure, so as not to appear too ordinary, nor to reveal the secret that he possessed a Chaos Spiritual Treasure-level physical body.

"A Chaos-level Spiritual Treasure!"

Tu Xiaonai gasped, her eyes filled with shock. "My god, Brother Jiang, you're exaggerating! A Chaos-level spiritual treasure is a top-tier treasure in the Three Realms. Even those ancient powerful beings might not possess one. You actually have one passed down from your ancestors?"

On the edge of this Journey to the West world, the most powerful treasures are only innate spiritual treasures. Chaos-level spiritual treasures only exist in ancient records. Tu Xiaonai never thought that she would actually see someone possess a Chaos-level spiritual treasure.

"Just lucky."

Jiang Wang smiled faintly and changed the subject, "By the way, Brother Tu, what exactly is the origin of the Heart Sect? The Qilin Elder just now seemed to have extremely profound cultivation."

He didn't want to dwell too much on the topic of spiritual treasures, lest he say something wrong, so he took the initiative to inquire about the details of the Yixin Sect.

Tu Xiaonai suppressed her shock, nodded, and slowly said, "This Heart Sect is the largest sect on the edge of Xihe Niuzhou. It has been passed down for hundreds of billions of years and has an extremely profound foundation."

The sect not only has several Grand Luo Golden Immortal elders, but also three Supreme Elders. The one just now was the Qilin Supreme Elder, whose cultivation had reached the peak of Quasi-Saint, and he was one of the pillars of the sect.

The other two Grand Elders, one being the Azure Dragon Ancestor and the other the Black Tortoise True Man, were no less powerful than the Qilin Grand Elder.

"Peak Quasi-Saint level?"

Jiang Wang's heart stirred. He hadn't expected that the Yixin Sect would have three quasi-saint peak experts. It seemed that the edge of the Journey to the West world was not all weaklings.

He then asked, "What connection does the One Mind Sect have with the Heavenly Court and Buddhism?"

In the world of Journey to the West, the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect are the two major powers, controlling almost the entire Three Realms. No major sect can escape the influence of these two forces.

Tu Xiaonai shook her head: "There's not much of a connection."

My Yixin Sect is located on the edge of Xihe Niuzhou, far from the core area of ​​the Three Realms. The Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect rarely concern themselves with matters here.

However, on the surface, our Yixin Sect will still obey the orders of the Heavenly Court. After all, the Heavenly Court is the ruler of the Three Realms, and openly defying it would probably bring unnecessary trouble.

As for Buddhism, they are currently busy preaching in Xihe Niuzhou, and their influence hasn't reached us yet.

Jiang Wang nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that the Heart Sect was a relatively independent force, which was just right for him to stay temporarily.

He then asked, "Brother Tu, what is your status in the One Heart Sect? Why is Tu Dachang so hostile towards you?"

Judging from what just happened, Tu Dachang was clearly targeting Tu Xiaonai on purpose, even going so far as to kill her. The conflict between the two was probably more than just a simple internal sect struggle.

When Tu Dachang was mentioned, Tu Xiaonai's face instantly turned cold, and her tone was filled with hatred: "I am the sect leader's personal disciple, and also the most talented disciple of this generation. The entire sect has high hopes for me, and even intends for me to inherit the position of sect leader in the future."

Tu Dachang is my master's junior brother. He has always coveted the position of sect leader. Seeing that I am highly regarded, he regards me as a thorn in his side and has repeatedly tried to frame me. However, he has never dared to be too presumptuous because my master and the Supreme Elder have protected him in the past.

Today's events were likely premeditated by him; he wanted to use the guise of testing my strength to take the opportunity to eliminate me.

Jiang Wang understood immediately; it was a power struggle.

He said calmly, "In that case, Brother Tu should be even more careful in the future."

Although Tu Dachang has been punished, he has cultivated influence within the sect for many years and undoubtedly still has many followers. He might find another opportunity to target you in the future.

"I see."

Tu Xiaonai nodded, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes, "Brother Jiang, don't worry, I won't let him succeed."

"Once my cultivation advances further and I break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, even if he has many followers, I will not fear him."

He is now at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, only one step away from the Daluo Golden Immortal realm. Given more time, he will surely be able to break through to the next level.

Looking at the determination in Tu Xiaonai's eyes, Jiang Wang nodded slightly: "Brother Tu is exceptionally talented. It's only a matter of time before you break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

However, cultivation cannot be rushed; it must be done step by step. One must not be impatient for quick results and jeopardize one's foundation.

Having experienced countless cultivation bottlenecks, he had a profound understanding of the path of cultivation, so he naturally wanted to remind Tu Xiaonai of something.

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Jiang."

Tu Xiaonai felt a warmth in her heart, "I understand."

By the way, Brother Jiang, let me take you to the guest rooms inside the sect to rest. The environment there is quiet and secluded, perfect for cultivation.

In addition, I will have someone prepare some cultivation resources for you, as a small token of my gratitude.

Jiang Wang did not refuse and nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Tu."

Although he doesn't lack cultivation resources now, there's no need for him to deliberately refuse. After all, it's Tu Xiaonai's kind gesture, and accepting it would make their relationship even more harmonious.

Tu Xiaonai smiled and gestured to Jiang Wang, "Brother Jiang, please follow me."

After saying that, he led Jiang Wang toward the guest room area of ​​the Yixin Sect.

The Yixin Sect covers an extremely vast area, built against the mountain, with halls and pavilions stretching endlessly. The air is filled with rich spiritual energy, and disciples can be seen cultivating everywhere, creating a vibrant and lively scene.

The two walked slowly along the stone path in the mountains. Along the way, disciples would bow to Tu Xiaonai from time to time, their eyes filled with awe.

As the sect leader's personal disciple and a genius within the sect, Tu Xiaonai enjoys extremely high prestige among the disciples.

The disciples looked at Jiang Wang with curiosity as he followed Tu Xiaonai, but none of them dared to step forward and ask.

After walking for about half an hour, the two arrived at a quiet courtyard.

This courtyard is nestled against the mountain and beside the water, filled with exotic flowers and rare herbs that exude a faint fragrance. The spiritual energy in the air is even stronger than elsewhere, clearly indicating that it has been specially arranged.

"Brother Jiang, this is your guest room. Please stay here for the time being."

Tu Xiaonai pushed open the courtyard gate and said to Jiang Wang, "There is a cultivation room in the courtyard, with a spirit-gathering array set up inside, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort."

I've already had someone prepare the cultivation resources; they'll be delivered shortly.

Jiang Wang looked around the courtyard and nodded in satisfaction: "Thank you, Brother Tu, this place is very nice."

Just then, a figure ran swiftly towards the courtyard. It was a junior disciple dressed in a blue Taoist robe. He ran up to Tu Xiaonai, bowed, and said, "Senior brother, the sect leader requests your presence at the sect leader's hall immediately."

Tu Xiaonai frowned, a hint of doubt in her eyes: "I understand."

He smiled apologetically at Jiang Wang, "Brother Jiang, it seems I have to go to the Sect Master's Hall first. You can rest here for now, and you can send me a message anytime if anything happens."

"Brother Tu, go ahead and don't worry about me." Jiang Wang waved his hand, his tone indifferent.

Tu Xiaonai nodded, gave her junior disciple a few more instructions, telling him to take good care of Jiang Wang, and then turned and flew towards the sect master's hall.

After Tu Xiaonai left, Jiang Wang entered the courtyard and closed the gate.

He did not immediately enter the cultivation room, but instead walked to the stone table in the courtyard, sat down, slowly closed his eyes, and began to sort out everything that had just happened.

The Qilin Supreme Elder's probing, Tu Dachang's resentment, and the power structure of the Yixin Sect all flashed through his mind.

"That Supreme Elder Qilin must have sensed something, but he just hasn't revealed it yet."

Jiang Wang thought to himself, "It seems that I must be more cautious within the Yixin Sect and not easily reveal any of my trump cards, lest I attract unnecessary trouble."

Especially the will of the Great Dao; although it deliberately concealed its actions just now, it's hard to guarantee it won't attract its attention. If it sets its sights on you, the consequences will be unimaginable.

He is now in the Journey to the West world, and the great calamity of the Journey to the West is about to begin. The will of the Great Dao will definitely pay close attention to the movements of the Three Realms. Any abnormal fluctuations in power may alert it.

His purpose in coming to this Journey to the West world is to seek an opportunity to break through to the realm of sainthood, not to attract the attention of the Great Dao's will.

Just then, a knock came from outside the courtyard, followed by a voice: "Young friend Jiang, your disciple has been sent by Senior Brother Tu to deliver cultivation resources to you."

Jiang Wang opened his eyes and said calmly, "Come in."

The courtyard gate was pushed open, and two junior disciples carried in a storage bag. They placed the bag on the stone table and bowed, saying, "Young friend Jiang, these are cultivation resources prepared for you by Senior Brother Tu. Please accept them."

Jiang Wang glanced at the storage bag and could sense the rich spiritual energy inside, indicating that it contained extremely abundant cultivation resources.

He nodded: "Understood, you may leave."

The two junior disciples respectfully responded, turned around and left the courtyard, gently closing the gate behind them.

Jiang Wang picked up the storage bag and probed it with his divine sense. He found that it contained not only a large number of innate spirit stones and enlightenment tea leaves, but also several pills containing rich primordial power, and even a defensive magic weapon of innate spirit treasure level.

It must be said that Tu Xiaonai really went to great lengths to thank him.

"This little maid Tu is a person who values ​​loyalty and righteousness."

Jiang Wang thought to himself and put the storage bag away.

Although he doesn't need these cultivation resources now, it's fine to keep them; he might need them in the future.

Just then, a sudden tremor ran through his heart, and a faint sense of being spied on enveloped the entire courtyard.

Jiang Wang's eyes turned cold, and a faint killing intent instantly emanated from his body as he looked in the direction from which the spying sensation was coming from.

He could sense that the spying was extremely subtle, clearly indicating that someone was observing him in the dark, and that the other party's cultivation level was not low, at least at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"It seems that the people of the Heart Sect are quite curious about me."

Jiang Wang curled his lips into a cold smile, calmly activating the Great Void Technique to completely conceal his aura. At the same time, he spread his divine sense, probing in the direction from which the spying sensation originated.

He wanted to see who was secretly spying on him.

A moment later, Jiang Wang's divine sense locked onto the target, an old man dressed in a black Taoist robe, who was hiding in the nearby forest, using his divine sense to spy on the movements inside the courtyard.

The old man's cultivation level was at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and his aura was sinister, clearly indicating that he was not a kind person.

"Tu Dachang's men?"

Jiang Wang thought to himself that he could sense that the old man's aura was somewhat similar to that of Tu Dachang earlier, and that he was clearly one of Tu Dachang's henchmen.

It seems that although Tu Dachang was punished, he was still not resigned to his fate and sent people to monitor him, hoping to find his weakness.

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Wang's eyes. If it were in the past, he would have definitely attacked and killed the old man directly.

However, since he is currently within the Yixin Sect, if he were to make a rash move, it would certainly attract the attention of the sect's higher-ups, and might even make the Qilin Grand Elder wary of him.

"I'll let you off this time."

Jiang Wang snorted coldly in his heart, activated his inner cultivation technique, and sent a subtle mental attack towards the old man.

The old man was intently observing the movements within the courtyard when he was caught off guard and struck by this mental shock. His head throbbed with pain, and his divine sense was repelled.

The old man in the mountains changed his expression, his eyes filled with shock and fear. He could feel that the power contained in that mental impact was extremely terrifying. If the other party really wanted to kill him, he would probably already be decapitated by now.

He dared not linger any longer, quickly concealed his aura, turned into a black shadow, and fled the mountains in a sorry state.

Looking in the direction the old man fled, Jiang Wang curled up a disdainful sneer.

He didn't pursue them, partly because he didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble, and partly because he wanted to give Tu Dachang a warning, showing him that he wasn't someone to be easily manipulated.

Having dealt with the old man who was secretly spying on him, Jiang Wang stood up and walked into the cultivation room.

The cultivation room was set up with a level nine spirit-gathering array, and the spiritual energy in the air was so dense that it was almost liquid, making it extremely suitable for cultivation.

Jiang Wang walked to the center of the Spirit Gathering Array, slowly sat down, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate his inner energy.

His current cultivation level has reached the early stage of Quasi-Saint, and he is only one step away from the middle stage of Quasi-Saint.

However, to break through to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, one needs to accumulate a large amount of primordial power and comprehend deeper levels of the Great Dao Laws.

Within this Heart Sect, the spiritual energy is abundant and the place is relatively safe, making it perfect for him to cultivate in seclusion and attempt to break through to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.

As the mental cultivation technique was activated, the surrounding spiritual energy continuously flowed into Jiang Wang's body. After being tempered by his meridians, it was transformed into primordial power and merged into his dantian.

A faint golden light emanated from Jiang Wang's body, and the aura of the Great Dao Laws around him grew increasingly dense, enveloping the entire cultivation room in an invisible pressure.

Meanwhile, inside the sect master's hall of the Yixin Sect.

Tu Xiaonai bowed to a middle-aged man in a purple Taoist robe with a dignified face, saying, "Disciple greets Master."

This middle-aged man is Tu Cangxuan, the sect leader of Yixin Sect. He has reached the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint and is the person in charge of Yixin Sect.

Tu Cangxuan sat on the sect leader's throne, his gaze falling on Tu Xiaonai, and said in a calm tone: "Xiaonai, I already know about what happened to Tu Dachang just now."

"Thanks to Elder Qilin's timely arrival, otherwise you would probably be in danger today." (End of Chapter)
