Primordial Era: Starting as a junior disciple of the Chan Sect to attain the Primordial Chaos.

The shimmering light of merit emanated from the hearts of those human souls who had perished.

It gathered into a trickle and fell on Jiang Chuan.

The numbers are still not exaggerated.

However, there were significantly more than when collecting ordinary battlefield remnants.

Jiang Chuan did not rush to absorb it, but simply stored it away before continuing to search the tribal ruins.

soon.

He found a tattered blood banner in the center of the tribe.

The blood banner was stuck on the altar, its surface tattered, yet it still exuded a strong aura of bloodlust.

One can faintly hear the mournful cries of many souls within.

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Chuan's eyes.

Clearly, after the demon race slaughtered the human race, they used this banner to collect blood and remnant souls.

However, for some reason, the blood banner was not taken away later.

Perhaps in the eyes of the demon race, such broken artifacts are not considered precious.

But for Jiang Chuan...

The trapped souls within the banner cannot be ignored.

After all, most of these remnant souls are the souls of human victims.

It also helps in the evolution of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Parade Scroll.

This achieves two goals at once.

Then, Jiang Chuan raised his hand and unleashed the Cloud and Water Binding Technique.

The water-colored chains bound the blood banner, forcibly pulling it from the altar.

The blood-red banner shook violently.

The dense aura of bloodlust transformed into a ferocious demonic shadow, attempting to retaliate against Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan snorted coldly.

The pages of Cangjie's book were turned.

A single character, "破" (broken), flew out.

boom!

The demonic patterns on the blood banner shattered on the spot.

Then another word, "pardon," appeared.

The souls trapped in the blood banner immediately broke free of their restraints and flew out as fragmented phantoms.

Most of them were human.

There are also a small number of mountain spirits and herb spirits.

After they broke free of the Blood Banner, they were initially bewildered, but then they sensed the aura of the Ancestor of Literature emanating from Jiang Chuan.

next moment.

Numerous remnant souls knelt in unison.

"Thank you, King Wenzu, for helping us escape this sea of ​​suffering..."

The voice was faint, yet it gathered into an unspeakable sorrow.

Jiang Chuan didn't say much.

They were simply collected one by one using the "Night Parade of Ten Thousand Ghosts" painting.

After the last remnant soul enters the picture.

Above the void, another merit descended.

This time, the merit is more solid than before.

Jiang Chuan felt a slight tremor in his own Dao foundation.

The threshold of reaching the Golden Immortal Perfection, which was originally only a hair's breadth away, has finally shown signs of loosening.

He did not hesitate.

They immediately set up a restriction in the ruins.

The Cangjie Book hangs above one's head, and the image of ten thousand ghosts walking at night obscures all directions.

Jiang Chuan then channeled the merit he had just gained into his body.

This time, he did not forcibly improve his cultivation level using merit.

Instead, it uses merit to refine the foundation of one's path, smoothing out the last remaining disharmony after the integration of external origins.

The golden light of merit flowed around his body.

The Jade Purity Immortal Technique then began to operate.

Jiang Chuan's magical power flowed like a long river returning to the sea, gradually becoming perfect and flawless.

The Golden Immortal is one whose nature is immortal and who has achieved immortality.

The Golden Immortal Perfection signifies that this realm has reached its current pinnacle.

One more step forward leads to Taiyi.

The Taiyi Golden Immortal must condense the five elements within his chest.

That's a level that can't be achieved simply by accumulating magical power.

Jiang Chuan was clear-headed.

He didn't think about Taiyi.

Instead, they focused on achieving breakthroughs in the immediate future.

This breakthrough can be described as a natural outcome.

But it still took thirty years.

Thirty years later.

A slight rumble came from inside Jiang Chuan's body.

Magic power, primordial spirit, and Dao foundation are all perfectly integrated at the same time.

An even stronger aura than before slowly rose from Jiang Chuan's body.

Golden Immortal Perfection!

However, Jiang Chuan suppressed this aura as soon as it appeared.

He did not allow the breakthrough phenomenon to spread.

Furthermore, he did not allow his own energy to soar into the sky.

During a great calamity, the most taboo thing is to be ostentatious.

Breakthroughs are a good thing.

However, if this attracts the attention of powerful demons, it would be a net loss.

Jiang Chuan used the Cangjie Book to suppress the surrounding disturbances and used the Fude Cloud to conceal the secrets of heaven.

A moment later.

The ruins returned to calm.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Chuan slowly opened his eyes.

A wisp of pure, ethereal light flashed in his eyes and then vanished.

"Golden Immortal Perfection".

He spoke softly.

This breakthrough wasn't earth-shattering.

But its strength lies in its solid foundation, allowing things to fall into place naturally.

Most importantly, he did not break through the realm by simply fusing corpses.

Instead, after repeated refinement, one cleanses the foundation of one's path with merit and virtue, and then takes the final step.

In this way, the potential risks are minimal.

Jiang Chuan felt the powerful magic within his body, but he felt no pride.

Although the Golden Immortal Perfection is much stronger than before.

But compared to the Lich King's cataclysm, it still pales in comparison.

Let alone demon gods and great witches.

Even a Taiyi Golden Immortal is not someone he can underestimate now.

He simply has more power to protect himself now.

It's far from being able to roam freely in the wilderness.

"Next, we should prepare for the Taiyi realm."

Jiang Chuan thought to himself.

To become a Taiyi Golden Immortal, one must condense the five elements within one's chest.

He had previously heard many insights into the Taiyi realm from the Antarctic Immortal.

Furthermore, the Crimson Feather Phoenix Tea assists in the fire element.

However, to truly break through to the Taiyi level, one still needs to accumulate more experience.

This is not something that can be rushed in a short period of time.

Jiang Chuan quickly suppressed his thoughts.

He stood up and looked at the tattered, blood-stained banner.

The soul has been released.

The demonic runes were also mostly destroyed.

Although the remaining materials are mixed with blood and evil, they can be used as auxiliary materials for the Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Parade painting if purified.

Jiang Chuan did not directly merge.

Instead, it was first sealed in a jade box.

We'll deal with it slowly when we return to Wangguo Mountain.

This place was, after all, the ruins of a human tribe.

Jiang Chuan thought for a moment, then wrote the character "葬" (zàng, meaning burial) in Cangjie script.

Ancient characters fall to the ground.

The earth slowly churned, burying all the scattered bones and remains.

Then another character, "安" (An), appeared in the sky, transforming into a faint, clear light that enveloped the area.

After doing all this.

Jiang Chuan was preparing to leave.

But just then...

In the painting of ten thousand ghosts walking at night, a weak, remnant human soul suddenly spoke.

"King Munjo..."

"Northwest... Bloodstone Valley..."

"And the clansmen..."

Jiang Chuan paused in his steps.

He used his divine sense to probe into the painting of ten thousand ghosts walking at night.

That remnant soul was extremely weak, its body almost transparent.

But they still tried to send out intermittent messages.

"The demon soldiers... escorted..."

"Forging a sword..."

Bloodstone Valley.

Demon soldiers.

human race.

Forging swords.

Jiang Chuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

If it were the main battlefield of the Lich Kingdom, he would naturally not approach it rashly.

But if it's just a small team escorting humans from the outer perimeter of the demon race.

That's another matter entirely.

However, he still did not set off immediately.

Jiang Chuan first calmed down the remaining soul.

He then raised his hand and released dozens of ghostly figures.

"Go to the Northwest."

"First, investigate the true nature of Bloodstone Valley."

Dozens of ghostly figures silently disappeared into the night.

Jiang Chuan stood amidst the ruins, his expression calm.

Saving people is acceptable.

But we must first know who the enemy is, how many there are, and whether there are any stronger forces at the helm.

Never fight a battle you are not prepared for.

This is his way.

Of course, Jiang Chuan had previously stated that he would not interfere in the Lich Wars.

They will not interfere with the demon race's forging of the Witch-Slaying Sword.

This remains his bottom line to this day.

However, this does not mean that he cannot gather some human souls to strengthen the Ten Thousand Ghosts Night Parade Map and gather the power of merit.

After all, this move will not only prevent him from falling into a calamity, but will also bring him many benefits.
