Mortal: Return of apprenticeship? Bug at the beginning

Jiang Tongyue took the Investiture of the Gods back and looked at the long list of names on it. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

He subdued more than thirty Nascent Soul cultivators in a row, and four of them were in the late Nascent Soul stage. With his own strength, Jiang Tongyue could almost unify the entire human world.

"No! Jiang Tongyue, don't get too arrogant. Apart from the strength comparable to that of a Spiritualization Stage cultivator, more than 200,000 gold-eating bugs, three level 7 demon beast spirit pets, several life-defining magic weapons, and two celestial magic treasures, what else do you have? You are nothing! So don't get too arrogant!"

Jiang Tongyue shook his head and threw away the thoughts that were swelling in his mind.

Afterwards, Jiang Tongyue put the List of Gods into his storage bag and looked at Man Huzi, Wan Tianming, Sanyang Old Demon and other great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage.

"Fellow Daoist Man, I am quite curious about the Heaven-supporting Magic Skill that you are practicing. Could you please take it out and let me see it?"

Jiang Tongyue asked Man Huzi bluntly, he had long wanted a top-level physical training technique.

After all, Jiang Tongyue’s only shortcoming now is his weak body. If he can obtain Man Huzi’s Totian Magic Skill, he will have nothing missing!
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, the content in this jade slip is the Heaven-supporting Demonic Art that I practiced."

Man Huzi hesitated for a moment, took out a jade slip from his storage bag, and handed it to Jiang Tongyue.

Jiang Tongyue took the jade slip from Man Huzi's hand, probed his spiritual sense into it, and began to confirm it.

With his current level of cultivation, it would be easy for him to tell whether this Tuotian Magic Art was real or fake.

After distinguishing the authenticity of the Tuotian Magic Skill, Jiang Tongyue looked at Wan Tianming with a smile and said, "Fellow Daoist Wan, I am also very curious about your Tianluo Magic Skill."

Without saying a word, Wan Tianming presented the Tianluo Zhengong that he had practiced with both hands.

Afterwards, Jiang Tongyue took the cultivation technique and some green fire thunders from the old demon Sanyang who was standing nearby.

The power of the Green Fire Thunder is quite impressive, it is equivalent to a full-strength attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator. If you use it to return it, you can return a Green Fire Thunder that is equivalent to a full-strength attack from a Divine Transformation cultivator.

Although it is of little use to Jiang Tongyue now, it can be used for self-defense for his disciples.

"Fellow Daoist Jin Kui, and fellow Daoists, such a big event happened on my Xinghai Island today. I'm afraid that my disciple's Nascent Soul Ceremony cannot continue. I hope that fellow Daoists will not blame me."

After doing all this, Jiang Tongyue looked at Jin Kui, the Nascent Soul cultivators of the four major business alliances, and those independent cultivators with an apologetic look.

"Haha...Fellow Daoist Jiang, you are joking. Now that such a big thing has happened on Xinghai Island, we will not disturb you."

Jin Kui forced a smile and then suggested leaving.

What happened today was too terrifying. More than thirty Nascent Soul cultivators were subdued by Jiang Tongyue just like that.

It can be said that if the current Xinghai Merchant Alliance wants to overthrow the rule of Chaos Star Sea, it will be absolutely easy.

He must inform the Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars about this!
The other Nascent Soul cultivators from the neutral factions also bid farewell to Jiang Tongyue.

Jiang Tongyue naturally would not force these people to stay, but asked Xin Ruyin to open the restrictions on Xinghai Island and let these people leave.

After Jin Kui and others left, Jiang Tongyue's expression calmed down and he looked at Man Huzi, Wan Sangu and others.

That calm look made the Nascent Soul cultivators present feel uneasy, fearing that Jiang Tongyue would not keep his word.

"Now, you fellow Taoists are also considered as members of my Xinghai Merchant Alliance. My Xinghai Island has suffered a heavy blow this time. Do you fellow Taoists need to express your gratitude?"

After a while, Jiang Tongyue finally spoke and started to blackmail the Nascent Soul cultivators present.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Anti-Star Alliance are all Nascent Soul cultivators from the evil and righteous forces. Each of them is wealthy and may have treasures that Jiang Tongyue does not even have. Naturally, he will take this opportunity to blackmail them.

The Nascent Soul cultivators present were all shrewd people. They understood the meaning of Jiang Tongyue's words and expressed their willingness to compensate Xinghai Island for its losses.

Seeing this, Jiang Tongyue nodded with satisfaction and asked these Nascent Soul cultivators to leave Xinghai Island and collect the compensation.

All of a sudden, these Nascent Soul cultivators felt as if they had been pardoned, and they all scrambled to leave Xinghai Island, even late Nascent Soul cultivators like Man Huzi and Wan Sangu.

"Ku Xuan, Madam Wen, you did a great job just now. I must reward you generously. Please accept these top-level spirit stones. I hope you can practice well and break through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage as soon as possible."

Jiang Tongyue looked at Master Kuxuan and Madam Wen, and generously took out several top-grade spirit stones from his storage bag and gave them as rewards.

Since his subordinates had made great contributions, Jiang Tongyue would naturally reward them. This would also strengthen Master Kuxuan's loyalty.

"Young Master, these are what your subordinates should do!"

Master Ku Xuan looked at the top-level spirit stone in Jiang Tongyue's hand with some fear and trepidation, and spoke hurriedly.

As for Madam Wen on the side, she took these top-level spirit stones without hesitation. After all, except for the previous time, she had a hard time hesitating every day.

"This is how I do things. If you have done a great service for me, I will reward you generously, so just accept it with peace of mind."

Jiang Tongyue's voice was extremely calm, and he threw those top-level spirit stones directly to Master Kuxuan.

When Master Ku Xuan heard this, he was shocked and became more determined in his choice.

Loyal! Sincerity!
At this moment, Master Kuxuan was full of loyalty to Jiang Tongyue!

In addition to Madam Wen and Master Ku Xuan, Jiang Tongyue also rewarded one year's salary to the monks of Xinghai Merchant Alliance and Miaoyin Sect.

As for those low-level monks who died in this incident, a large amount of compensation was paid to their relatives.

This matter will be carried out personally by Zi Ling's mother Wang Yuan, so there is no need to worry about it being secretly intercepted by other cultivators.

Suddenly, the disciples of Xinghai Merchant Alliance and Miaoyin Sect were full of loyalty to Jiang Tongyue, the island owner of Xinghai Island.

Jiang Tongyue asked the Jindan cultivators of the Xinghai Merchant Alliance to lead some foundation-building cultivators to begin repairing the West City District which was almost razed to the ground.

As for Jiang Tongyue, he brought his many disciples back to the mansion in the central area.

Jiang Tongyue was also very generous and rewarded each of his disciples, Taoist companions and concubines with ten top-level spirit stones.

Jiang Tongyue now has more than 6,000 top-level spirit stones in his hands, so he naturally doesn't care about this consumption.

After all, he can now return forty top-level spirit stones in a month, and those top-level spirit stones that are awarded can be returned in just three months.

After the rewards, Jiang Tongyue passed on the newly acquired Tuotian Demonic Art and Tianluo True Art to Han Li and Xin Ruyin respectively.

The Heavenly Demonic Art and the Heavenly True Art are both top-level techniques in the Chaos Star Sea, especially the Heavenly True Art, which can be practiced to the later stages. These two techniques returned to Jiang Tongyue a technique for the Spiritualization Stage and a technique for the Void Training Stage.

Afterwards, Jiang Tongyue gave the green fire thunders handed over by the old demon Sanyang directly to Zi Ling as a reward.

After all, among Jiang Tongyue’s many disciples, only Zi Ling has reached the early stage of Jindan. With this green fire thunder, his safety can be greatly improved.

The green fire thunder returned to Jiang Tongyue had its power increased a hundred times, comparable to a full-strength attack from a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage.

Once these green fire thunders are released, even a cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Stage will die under the power if he is not careful.

After the return was completed, Jiang Tongyue returned to his mansion and began to practice in seclusion.

He must practice hard and break through to the late Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible so that he can spare time to practice other things.

For example, the Dayan Jue and the Tuotian Magic Art, even magical powers and the drawing of talismans.

Just like that, Jiang Tongyue began to practice in seclusion, while the entire Chaos Star Sea quickly became lively.

After returning to Tianxing City, Jin Kui immediately went to meet the Tianxing Twin Saints and told them what had happened on Xinghai Island.

After learning what happened on Xinghai Island, the Two Saints of Tianxing were shocked, especially the strength displayed by Jiang Tongyue, which shocked them even more.

As cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage, the Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars are only slightly stronger than Aunt Wan San or the Six Paths Supreme Saint.

However, Jiang Tongyue, with his cultivation level of the middle Nascent Soul stage, easily crushed four late Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

With such strength, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Jiang Tongyue is a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage.

"Alas... I don't know whether Jiang Tongyue's coming to Chaos Star Sea is a good thing or a bad thing."

Ling Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh. He and his Taoist partner Wen Qing were trapped in Tianxing City because of their practice of Yuanci Divine Light.

Now, Jiang Tongyue has subdued so many Nascent Soul cultivators and his strength has surpassed Xinggong. How can he not be worried?

"My husband, the most urgent thing is for us to cultivate to the Spiritual Transformation Stage first. As for Fellow Daoist Jiang and the Xinghai Merchant Alliance, they probably have no intention of dominating the Chaos Star Sea. Otherwise, he would not have taken out precious top-level spirit stones to enhance the strength of the Chaos Star Sea cultivators."

Wen Qing, who was standing by, comforted Ling Xiaofeng in a soft voice.

"Senior sister is right. If Brother Jiang really wants to dominate the Chaos Star Sea, I'm afraid I won't be able to return to Tianxing City at all."

Jin Kui's idea was the same as Wen Qing's.

"Indeed, we can build a good relationship with Jiang Tongyue. Even if Jiang Tongyue wants to overthrow the rule of Xinggong, we can just give it to him when the time comes. For cultivators like us, a breakthrough in cultivation is the most important thing. Following Jiang Tongyue, maybe we can ascend to the spirit world."

The murderous look between Ling Xiaofeng's brows also faded a lot.

The current Xinghai Merchant Alliance is stronger than Xinggong. Even if a war breaks out, they can only rely on the formations and restrictions in Tianxing City to resist.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to take the initiative to submit to Jiang Tongyue, so that some of the strength of Xinggong can be preserved.

Ling Xiaofeng's words made Wen Qing and Jin Kui sigh in their hearts.

There was no way. The gap in strength between Xinggong and Xinghai Merchant Alliance was too big, so big that it made them feel desperate.

Apart from Xinggong, other forces do not have these worries. After all, it is good to lean on a big tree for shade.

If Jiang Tongyue's Xinghai Merchant Alliance really wants to unify the Chaos Star Sea, they definitely don't mind joining it. The fate of those Nascent Soul cultivators of the Anti-Star Alliance is still fresh in their memory.

If they actively join the Xinghai Merchant Alliance, they might be able to gain some benefits, but if they resist to the end, they will either be killed by the Xinghai Merchant Alliance or be listed on the List of Gods and become Jiang Tongyue's dogs.

Of course, if they knew that Master Ku Xuan, who had been listed on the Investiture of the Gods, had obtained a lot of top-level spirit stones, they would definitely rush to be on the Investiture of the Gods and become Jiang Tongyue's dogs.

Top-level spirit stones are extremely rare even for the Divine Transformation cultivators.

Jiang Tongyue didn't care about the thoughts of the forces in Xinggong. Now, he was immersed in his own terrifying cultivation speed and couldn't extricate himself.

With the blessing of many spiritual objects such as the sixth-grade lotus platform, top-level spirit stones, and the Thousand-foot Spirit Eye Spring, Jiang Tongyue's cultivation speed has increased to an incredible level.

"Finally broke through to the late Nascent Soul stage!"

After several years of seclusion, Jiang Tongyue finally succeeded in breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage, which made him very happy.

After breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage, Jiang Tongyue's strength was greatly improved, and he was no weaker than a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation stage.

Moreover, because Jiang Tongyue's cultivation was only at the late Nascent Soul stage, he did not have to be restricted by the thin spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the human world like the cultivators at the Spirit Transformation stage, and thus be unable to use his full strength.

Once a cultivator uses all his strength, he will lose his lifespan.

However, there is still some gap between Jiang Tongyue and the Jindan cultivators now. For example, the Jindan cultivators can already mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to fight.

Jiang Tongyue, on the other hand, can only rely on his own cultivation and magic weapons to fight. After a long time, he will naturally fall into a disadvantage.

Therefore, if Jiang Tongyue wants to fight with a Divine Transformation cultivator, he must do so quickly.

After breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, Jiang Tongyue did not rush to come out, but began to study various sword skills.

Over the years, Master Ku Xuan has collected quite a few sword techniques for him, some of which are as powerful as the Qing Yuan Sword Technique and the Great Freedom Xuan Jin Sword Qi.

After all, the entire mortal world is so vast, and countless tens of thousands of years have passed, and countless geniuses of cultivation have been born.

There are even countless cultivators as brilliant as Lord Dayan in the long river of time.

Jiang Tongyue is not a talented cultivator like Dayan Divine Lord, but he is an even rarer person with cheats.

With the blessing of the sixth-grade lotus platform, Jiang Tongyue's comprehension increased by dozens of times, reaching an incredible level.

To comprehend the sword techniques secrets in his hands was just like eating and drinking water. His understanding of sword magic powers was also constantly improving.

Finally, after three full years of contemplation, Jiang Tongyue finally comprehended the magical power of "Sword Heart Enlightenment".
