Based on the information he had just received, Jiang Zhe was quite certain that this divine crystal came from the Wilderness World and belonged to the "body parts" of powerful beings at the World Realm or above.

He had thoroughly searched the surrounding 400-square-meter open space, but found nothing except the divine crystal.

Jiang Zhe rubbed his temples, looking troubled. "Then how should I use this divine crystal?"

According to the common knowledge of cultivation in the Wilderness World, the divine crystals left behind by powerful beings above the Dao Lord of Life and Death can open up a chaotic world after their death, and the creatures in the world are more talented than the creatures in the chaotic world born from the heart of an ordinary world.

One whale falls, and all things come to life; it's nothing more than that.

Another use is to use it as a substitute for the Heart of the World, to cultivate the renowned "Thousand Body Holy Scripture" in the desolate universe.

Jiang Zhe immediately thought of this use, but unfortunately, he was just daydreaming.

"We can study the usage later..."

"Now one thing is certain: my inner world is most likely immune to detection by the primordial universe."

Jiang Zhe looked up at the massive tree canopy that covered an area of ​​400 square meters and suspected that it was the tree that was at work.

"The Divine Crystal, in essence, should be equivalent to the Primal Universe. If it appeared in the Primal Universe, the other party would definitely be furious."

"I can't imagine what the primordial universe might do... I need to be prepared to keep the divine crystal hidden in my inner world for the rest of my life."

Jiang Zhe shook his head, feeling a headache coming on about the aftermath of dealing with the divine crystal.

Look at the "golden hinge" and "crystal stone" on the stone table. Both are hot potatoes. The golden finger is truly a "troublemaker".

Holding the divine crystal, which was the size of two fists, he carefully stroked it, trying to figure out its other uses.

……

While Jiang Zhe was studying the divine crystal, he was unaware that he had stirred up a storm in the "jianghu" (martial arts world).

There are no secrets that can be kept in the "Rich Women's Mahjong Club".

Last night, Jiang Zhe's mother and two aunts bragged about their son/nephew to their group of girlfriends. As a result, less than the next day, the entire upper class of Lanling Base City knew about Jiang Zhe's feat—becoming a quasi-martial artist at the age of sixteen, unprecedented!

The news spread like wildfire, and by noon on the 27th, almost all the top leaders around the world knew about it.

……

Detailed information about the Jiang family and Jiang Zhe was placed on the desks of the two powerful figures on Earth, "Hong" and "Thor". Soon after, two invitations were sent to Lanling Base City in Hanxia Kingdom.

Earth's Fourth Councilor and First Mentalist, East, remained silent as he looked at the documents on the table.

After a long while, he murmured to himself, "In the morning I was an intermediate student, and by evening I'd advanced to a quasi-martial artist. The familiar growth curve..."

"A spiritualist?"

East had a vague feeling that the challenger who could pose the greatest threat to his position was about to arrive; this was the intuition of a mentalist.

Unfortunately, the other party is on the same side as me.

"Looking at it from another angle, perhaps I could gain another disciple at the level of a councilor? The Hanxia Kingdom is extremely respectful of teachers..."

Europa, HR Alliance headquarters, inside the Speaker's office.

Isadora, a silver-haired white woman in her fifties and a legend in the HR Alliance, was also watching the news sent back from Hanxia Kingdom.

Two elite bodyguards and a secretary stood respectfully on either side, awaiting orders.

"The Jiang family? The current patriarch is called... Jiang Lie? He's known as the Invincible War God, right? I remember that was determined a long time ago, and I haven't heard of him making a move since."

"The Speaker has a good memory!" the War God on the right praised, saying, "He hasn't made a move in a long time. We suspect he may have been promoted to the rank of councilor, but he hasn't shown it yet. After all, the people of Hanxia are best at hiding their abilities."

"Weren't his three sons also war gods?"

"Yes, especially the eldest son, Jiang Chengbo, who is almost a younger version of Jiang Lie. He is skilled with a Overlord Spear, has a domineering fighting style, and enjoys smashing the skulls of his targets." The war god shuddered slightly as he recalled some unpleasant memories.

"Ah, what a family blessed by God."

Isadora couldn't help but sigh, turning her head to look at the dignified female secretary beside her.

"Una, how's the Jiang family's business empire going?"

"Not good. It is hampered by the Wang family in many ways, and its performance ranks last among the 12 families of Hanxia Kingdom."

After a brief silence, Isadora said, "Give the Jiang family more commercial resources. In this era, martial artists reign supreme. If the allocation of resources fails to satisfy powerful martial artists, it will cause great chaos."

Una hesitated, then said, "But what about the Wang family..."

"Let the Wang family go after the Jiang family. If the two of them fight, our alliance will be even stronger."

"Yes, Speaker, I'll make the arrangements right away."

"Wait a minute," Isadora added, "Be careful about winning over Councilor Fal, don't let it go wrong."

Inside an underground building in Kyoto, the capital city of Hanxia.

There are three underground layers.

Inside the elegantly decorated office, a lean man dressed in loose training clothes tapped lightly on the table with one hand while flipping through messages sent from Lanling Base City with the other.

"Is Old Jiang Lie not home?"

"Yes, yesterday morning I took my three sons out of the base city and headed to the banks of the Tai River to hunt a Tai River carp dragon," the secretary replied.

"I told you he wouldn't be so high-profile. That old devil is the best at keeping a low profile."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"I need to talk to him and ask him to let me be his grandson's teacher. We can't let these two martial arts schools snatch up such a promising talent, and the HR Alliance is even worse."

The secretary said quietly, "Boss, they're from the HR Alliance."

The lean man waved his hand. "The Jiang family wouldn't engage in bullying, oppressing men and women, or engaging in malicious competition... what kind of HR Alliance member are they?"

The secretary didn't answer, but thought to herself: "Are you subtly implying something about one of our neighbors in Kyoto?"

Along the Tai River.

Grandpa Jiang and his three sons swam ashore from the murky river, preparing to rest for a while before moving to another area to continue searching for traces of the Taihe River carp dragon.

After the four men turned on their communication watches, they stared at the screen full of missed calls and fell into deep thought.

—My house was robbed? Why are you four looking for me so urgently?

The virtual world, the Palace of the God of War.

The members who logged in today are all talking about the lucky one from the Jiang family; for the first time, the name Jiang Zhe has spread throughout the world.

That's right, they are "lucky ones".

This is how many people describe Jiang Zhe.

According to news from Lanling Base City, he first became an intermediate student, and then suddenly crossed the threshold of a quasi-martial artist that night. The Jiang family would not allow their direct descendants to do something short-sighted, and any knowledgeable martial artist could guess what this meant.

—The spiritual master awakens!

Some people praised, some envied, some were jealous... a diverse range of human emotions.

If Jiang Zhe were from an ordinary background, he would have lost his personal freedom long ago, been forcibly taken away to choose a faction to join, and then subjected to endless training to become stronger.

Luo Feng concealed his identity as a mentalist because he didn't want to lose his freedom.

But Jiang Zhe is different. The Jiang family has four war gods on the surface, as well as the background of the HR Alliance. Who would dare to enter the Jiang family and snatch people away?

……

The world inside the body.

Jiang Zhe held the divine crystal, a happy smile on his face.

He finally figured out some of the uses of the divine crystal.

In the primordial world, the chaotic world nurtured by the divine crystals of powerful beings above the Dao Lord level has a very special existence, with a higher proportion of powerful beings being born there.

The Supreme Divine Crystal is especially prized, as every living being within the chaotic world it nurtures is unique, containing a trace of the Supreme's primordial essence, making it the best seed for cultivation.

To his surprise, the divine crystals that had not yet evolved into a chaotic world also had similar effects.

After holding and caressing it for a while, Jiang Zhe felt a cool energy surge from his palm into his brain, instantly clearing his mind and sharpening his senses, as if a dusty mirror had been suddenly wiped clean.

Feeling great! Feeling comfortable! Feeling completely at ease!

The whole world is different now. After calming down completely, I can faintly sense a strange fluctuation.

That is a fluctuation from the very origin of the vast universe!

However, this strange fluctuation seemed to be covered by layers of thick gauze, making it very difficult for him to sense it.

Sorry, the pacing wasn't very good. I noticed that, and I'll speed it up later.
